The role of a playful approach in developing entrepreneurial self-efficacy: mediating effect of entrepreneurial learning and moderating effect of the family context See

This study explores new sources of entrepreneurial self-efficacy focusing on play and learning. The study also considers the influence of the family context on this relationship. While extensive research has explored the origins of self-efficacy beliefs, we know little about the combined...

Impact Entrepreneurship in the Global South: Social Value, Power, and Gender in Solidarity Economies See

This book takes the tensions of impact and whose, what, why and how seriously. It brings together empirical, theoretical, and practitioner-grounded contributions that examine impact entrepreneurship in the Global South through the intersecting lenses of social value, power, and gender, the t...

Distributed Recursive State Estimation Over Sensor Networks With Compress-and-Forward Relays: A Compressed Sensing Strategy See

This article addresses the distributed recursive state estimation problem for wireless sensor networks operating under stringent energy, bandwidth, and computational constraints. A compress-and-forward relay architecture integrated with compressed sensing is proposed to reduce the transmission burden while pres...

Finite-Horizon <i>H</i>_∞ Consensus Control for IoT-Enabled Multi-Agent Systems With Stochastic Scheduling and Relay-Assisted Communications See

The Internet of Things (IoT) increasingly relies on large-scale networked agents that cooperate over bandwidth-limited and unreliable wireless links. This paper studies the finite-horizon H<inf>∞</inf> consensus control problem for a class of discrete-time IoT-enabled multi-agent systems subject...

Asynchronous Sampled-Data State Estimation for a Class of Nonlinear Complex Networks: A Matrix-Exponential-Gain-Based Approach See

This paper is concerned with the asynchronous sampled-data state estimation problems for a class of continuous-time nonlinear complex networks. A novel asynchronous sampled-data estimator is constructed with matrix exponential gains to estimate the states of network nodes, which allows each node&...

Large language model-based multi-agent systems for financial markets simulation: a survey See

Traditional financial modeling approaches, such as econometric methods and dynamic stochastic general equilibrium models, exhibit inherent limitations in capturing the highly interactive and strategic nature of modern financial systems. To overcome these limitations, multi-agent systems (MASs) have increasingly...

DiffFlex: A Diffusion-Based Model for Medium-Term Load Forecasting Over Flexible Intervals See

Accurate medium-term load forecasting (MTLF) is critical for capacity planning, maintenance scheduling, and intelligent resource allocation in modern power systems. However, existing approaches are typically designed for fixed-horizon, contiguous prediction and often suffer from multistep error accumulation, li...

Recursive state estimation for multisensor systems over cloud radio access networks: Handling the bit rate allocation issue See

The dramatic evolution of modern communication technologies has led to the emergence of the Cloud Radio Access Network (C-RAN) as a cutting-edge architecture for communication systems deployed in industry. In this paper, the problem of networked state estimation is addressed for a class...
