Analysis of the knowledge and innovation-based customer expectations for the green crypto assets in investment strategies using artificial intelligence and facial expression-based fuzzy modelling

Businesses should make an examination to find the critical actions to make crypto assets environmentally friendly. This situation can help crypto assets to be environmentally friendly while keeping costs within a reasonable range. Accordingly, in …

Triple Helix synergy and patent dynamics. cross country comparison

We use a computationally efficient logistic Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) technique to analyze patent data for Switzerland, Germany, the United States, and Brazil for the period 1980–2021. We find that patent growth dynamics follows the …

Discursive institutionalism as a research framework: result from a systematic literature review

This paper focuses on one of the recent theoretical contributions to the analysis of public policies: discursive institutionalism (DI). It aims to define elements of research approaches for empirical papers that refer to DI. We answer two main …

Robust calibration estimation of population mean in stratified sampling in the presence of outlier

A new improved calibration estimator for the population mean in a stratified sampling in the presence of an outlier in the auxiliary variable was proposed in this paper. The median of the auxiliary variable was used to define the calibration …

Dynamics of technical efficiency in the Indian banking sector: a metafrontier DEA approach

This study aims to examine the long-term efficiency pattern of Indian banks. To gauge efficiency scores, we employed a non-parametric DEA-based technique using metafrontier framework and estimated three efficiency measures, namely, overall …

Artificial intelligence in qualitative analysis: a practical guide and reflections based on results from using GPT to analyze interview data in a substance use program

Language-based text provide valuable insights into people’s lived experiences. While traditional qualitative analysis is used to capture these nuances, new paradigms are needed to scale qualitative research effectively. Artificial intelligence …

Does FinTech deepen financial inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa? Unveiling the transmission channels

The study investigates the effect of FinTech on financial inclusion in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The study adopts a battery of econometric techniques such as the traditional ordinary least square (OLS) estimation technique, two-step system GMM …

Factors associated with multi-screen addiction and academic resilience: A multigroup analysis by school level

Academic resilience (AR) could function as a preventative factor in mitigating a potential risk of the rising prevalence of excessive screen time and multi-screen addiction (MSA) among adolescents. The study examines the relationship between MSA …

Determinants of pro-environmental attitude and behaviour among European Union (EU) residents: differences between older and younger generations

  • Open Access

Global awareness of environment-related problems is progressively becoming a priority for public authorities all around the world. This led to the creation of environmental policies and a frequent sensitisation of citizens to the risks, associated …

The M-PerFeCt questionnaire: assessing higher education students’ motivation in a peer feedback context

  • Open Access

In higher education, teacher feedback has increasingly been replaced or complemented with peer feedback. But, when students lack motivation, they may not participate in the peer feedback activity adequately, and, thus, the activity may not have …

On the calibration estimators of finite population proportion under remainder systematic sampling

  • Open Access

Estimators of population parameters which utilized only information of the study variable tend to be sensitive to outliers or extreme values that may characterize sampling information due to randomness in selection thereby making them to be less …

The carbon footprint associated with air transport in three Mexican tourist destinations

  • Open Access

Tourism in Mexico contributes to GDP and employment, but has environmental costs in terms of carbon emissions from air transport. The estimation of the carbon footprint of tourists arriving by air is crucial to raise awareness among decision …
