Multinational enterprises (MNEs) wield significant power to shape labor conditions across borders. Yet, despite their reach, many continue to reproduce exploitative practices through outsourcing and fragmented supply chains. Drawing on research across multiple marginalized segments of the workforce, we...

A novel deep neural network classifier, a “particle transformer” (ParT), is introduced for the identification of highly Lorentz-boosted resonances reconstructed as single, multipronged jets in measurements and searches performed by the CMS Collaboration at the CERN LHC. Based on a self-attention&...

Early diagnosis of dementia is critical for assessing disease progression and potential treatment. State-or-the-art machine learning techniques have been increasingly employed to take on this diagnostic task. In this study, we employed Generalized Matrix Learning Vector Quantization (GMLVQ) classifiers...

Previous research suggests declines in emotion perception in older as compared to younger adults, but the underlying neural mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we address this by investigating how “face-age” and “face emotion intensity” affect both younger and older participants’ behavioural and...

The digital transformation in higher education (HE) marketing has accelerated rapidly after the artificial intelligence (AI) advancement, especially through the integration of generative AI technologies. Institutions are increasingly relying on these innovations to enhance outreach, personalization, and operati...

Background: Children and young people (CYP) with intellectual developmental disabilities (IDD) experience substantial health needs and higher healthcare utilisation compared with the general paediatric population. However, factors affecting the emergency healthcare use among children with IDD ...

Integrated Programme Assessment (IPA) is an approach to curriculum design in which assessment is organised at programme rather than module level, enabling synoptic assessments requiring students to integrate knowledge and skills across a programme rather than within isolated modules. IPA is ...

The aim of this work was to examine the resistance of high-strength steel (HSS) doubly symmetric I-beams according to international codes (BS EN 1993-1-1:2022, ANSI/AISC 360-22 and AS 4100-2020). For this purpose, a database comprising 138 tests conducted between 1969 and 2023 was&...

Steel fibres are widely used to improve the mechanical performance of concrete but are associated with high density, corrosion susceptibility and increased material demand. This study experimentally evaluates the effectiveness of newly developed wavy macro-basalt fibres as an alternative reinforcement...
