Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical integration of TikTok within a Project-Based Learning (PBL) framework to enhance the teaching and internalization of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) regulations in higher education, specifically Executive Decree 255. The primary aim was to evaluate the effectiveness of student-created TikTok videos in fostering active learning, regulatory comprehension, and the development of key academic and professional competencies. Seventy-three undergraduate students from the Practicum III course in the OHS program at Universidad Técnica Particular de Loja participated in the initiative. The structured methodology comprised five phases: topic assignment, digital training, guided video production, public dissemination, and multidimensional evaluation. Student outcomes were assessed through rubric-based evaluation, TikTok engagement analytics, and a validated satisfaction questionnaire addressing eight pedagogical constructs (Cronbach’s α=0.989; KMO=0.934). Results indicate enhanced conceptual understanding, increased motivation, and the strengthening of transversal competencies such as digital communication and learner autonomy. The novelty of this approach lies in the purposeful use of a widely adopted social media platform as both a pedagogical tool and a dissemination medium, offering a replicable model for other STEM disciplines that require the translation of complex regulatory or technical content into engaging and accessible formats.

Abstract

Firm resilience is essential to manage response and rapid recovery from disruptive events for a firm. Moreover, there is limited literature that investigates the combined effects of dynamic capability and technological innovation that are interrelated with firm resilience. This study used the dimensions of firm resilience, which were investigated with both necessary condition analysis (NCA) and fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) methods using survey questionnaires from 308 respondents operating in Bangladeshi corporate industries that are currently facing uncertainties due to unforeseen crises. NCA results showed that visibility, market position, and digitalization achieved firm resilience as these antecedents reached the full percentile to achieve an optimal level of outcome. On the contrary, the influence of reserve capacity and big data analytics was not empirically significant for achieving firm resilience. Moreover, fsQCA results appreciated NCA results and showed four solutions that are sufficient for achieving a high level of firm resilience. The study reveals the configurational effects of dynamic capabilities and technological innovation to achieve firm resilience. The results show the necessary effects of configurational relationships that lead to outcomes. The configurational method is applied to identify the combined effects of antecedents that help managers predict high levels of firm resilience in a turbulent environment.

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the microstructural and elemental characteristics of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) nanocomposites reinforced with jute cellulose nanofibers (CNFs), with the objective of understanding the dispersion behavior and interfacial interactions within the polymer matrix. CNFs were extracted from jute fibers through a chemo-mechanical process involving alkaline treatment, acid hydrolysis, bleaching, and high-energy milling, followed by melt blending with TPU to fabricate nanocomposites at varying filler loadings (1–5 wt%). Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM) and Energy Dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy were employed to analyze the surface morphology and elemental distribution of the nanocomposites. The FESEM results revealed that uniform CNF dispersion was achieved up to 4 wt%, beyond which noticeable agglomeration occurred. EDX analysis confirmed the successful incorporation of CNFs and identified performance-enhancing elements such as Si, Ca, Na, and Al in the reinforcement phase. These findings suggest that CNF content strongly influences microstructure and bonding quality, which are key factors for mechanical performance. The novelty of this work lies in its exclusive focus on microstructural and elemental characterization—providing essential insight into filler distribution and matrix compatibility—offering a foundation for optimizing sustainable, high-performance TPU/CNF nanocomposites for advanced industrial applications.

Abstract

The objectives of this research were to develop a model to forecast and estimate the return levels for daily maximum PM2.5 concentrations in Thailand, applying Extreme Value Theory (EVT) with the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution under eight models for stationary and non-stationary process. This research utilized reanalysis data from the NASA EARTHDATA satellite, represented as grid points with a spatial resolution of 50 × 62.5 km, enabling the analysis of daily maximum PM2.5 concentrations across 176 grid points from January 1, 2009 to October 31, 2024. The analysis revealed that Model 2 (μ(t)=β0+β1t where σ and ξ are constants) is the most suitable model for five grid points, namely Sa Kaeo Province, Uthai Thani Province, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Bueng Kan Province and Mae Hong Son Province, whereas Model 1 (μ, σ and ξ are constants) is suitable for the remaining 171 grid points. Estimating the return levels for return periods of 5, 10, 25, and 50 years showed that Northern Thailand had the most extreme daily PM2.5 concentrations, for all return periods especially Mae Hong Son Province. The results of this analysis can serve as valuable information to support decision-making for response planning in high-risk areas, aiding in efficient resource allocation and preventive measures.

Abstract

Objectives: This study explores the transformation of energy consumption in Europe between 2002 and 2022, focusing on the declining role of fossil fuels and the increasing significance of renewable and nuclear energy sources. The study also considers how countries with varying levels of economic development adopt different energy strategies and how these strategies correlate with shifts in energy usage. A circular economy approach that includes energy recovery from waste and resource reuse is a complementary aspect of sustainable energy transitions. Methods/Analysis: The per capita energy consumption data were analyzed through decile classification and cluster analysis to group countries with similar energy profiles. To explore the relationship between GDP and energy use—both total and renewable—linear and exponential regression models were applied. Outlier countries with atypical consumption trends were excluded to improve model reliability. Statistical analyses were conducted using SPSS, and Excel was used to support the visualization process. Findings: Six distinct clusters of energy consumption patterns emerged. In lower- and middle-GDP countries, renewable energy use showed a stronger exponential correlation with GDP growth than total energy use. While fossil fuel dependence has declined across most countries, the pathways taken have been diverse. High-GDP nations such as Iceland and Norway have demonstrated unique, resource-driven strategies. Novelty/Improvement: This study introduces a novel methodological blend of decile-based classification and clustering to enable clearer cross-country comparisons of energy use. The results also highlight the importance of excluding statistical outliers to improve regression precision. By integrating insights relevant to circular economy principles, the findings contribute to designing more effective and regionally adapted energy transition strategies.

Abstract

In the context of rapid digital transformation, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) increasingly recognize the necessity of adopting digital services to enhance their human resource management (HRM) capabilities. This study aims to investigate the mediating role of digital service adoption in improving HRM capacity among Vietnamese SMEs. The Resource-Based View draws upon the Technology-Organization-Environment framework; the research examines how leadership support, organizational readiness, policy mechanisms, perceived benefits, and organizational culture influence digital service adoption and HRM development. A mixed-method was employed, combining qualitative interviews with 30 digital transformation experts across five major cities in Vietnam and a quantitative survey of 1,000 SME managers from July 2024 to February 2025. Structural equation modeling was utilized to test 11 proposed hypotheses. The results demonstrate that digital service adoption significantly enhances HRM capacity and mediates the relationships between organizational factors and HRM outcomes. Leadership support is the strongest predictor of digital adoption and HRM capacity, followed by perceived benefits and policy mechanisms. These findings emphasize the importance of strategic leadership, organizational preparedness, supportive policies, and a digital-friendly culture in fostering successful digital transformation in HRM. The novelty contributes a novel integrated model bridging digital transformation and HRM theories and offers practical insights for SME managers seeking to strengthen workforce capabilities in emerging economies.

Abstract

This study investigates the key factors influencing consumer purchase intention toward functional postbiotic beverages designed to enhance sleep quality and mental health. It focuses on perceived innovation characteristics (PIC), innovation resistance (IR), attitude, and the moderating role of product knowledge. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire from 400 health-conscious Thai consumers aged 18–65 with prior experience in functional foods. The data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to assess the relationships among PIC, IR, attitude, and purchase intention, including the moderating effect of product knowledge. The findings reveal that relative advantage, compatibility, and attitude positively influence purchase intention, while the claim skepticism barrier has a negative impact. Complexity and trialability were found to be non-significant. Additionally, compatibility significantly influences attitudes across high- and low-product-knowledge consumers. However, product knowledge did not moderate the direct relationship between PIC and purchase intention. Attitude emerged as a key mediator. This study contributes to innovation adoption theory by highlighting the roles of compatibility and attitude while introducing trust and claim skepticism as critical resistance factors. It offers actionable implications for marketers aiming to enhance consumer trust and align products with daily routines.

Abstract

This study investigates the institutional co-evolution associated with digitalization processes in BRICS countries, emphasizing the development of hybrid regulatory frameworks that integrate state intervention, platform-based self-regulation, and entrepreneurial institutional agency. The primary objective is to analyze how these frameworks operate within heterogeneous governance environments and address the sustainability challenges arising in emerging digital economies. Grounded in the theory of institutional co-evolution, the research applies a mixed-methods design, combining bibliometric mapping, comparative policy analysis, and multiple linear regression on cross-national panel data from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa (2018 - 2022). The findings demonstrate that increasing levels of digitalization and innovation are significantly correlated with reductions in environmental risks, while GDP growth remains positively associated with CO2 emissions; underscoring a structural tension between economic expansion and ecological resilience. To address this contradiction, the study proposes and empirically validates an Optimized Hybrid Model of institutional regulation, which improves sustainability indicators by 18.5%. The novelty of this research lies in the operationalization of institutional co-evolution within digital governance, offering a transferable policy model for flexible, adaptive regulation in complex, data-intensive economies. These results contribute to the advancement of institutional theory and provide actionable insights for the governance of transitional digital systems.

Abstract

Land-use change and recovery patterns of mangroves in the Tha Sak subdistrict, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Thailand, were examined utilizing multi-temporal Landsat images and socio-economic data from 1988 to 2023. Land use was classified through visual interpretation, and potential changes were predicted using a Markov chain model. The results showed a significant expansion of mangrove forests (1.11 km² to 9.10 km²), indicating a clear recovery. At the same time, the aquaculture area decreased drastically (from 25.69 km² to 8.79 km²), indicating a significant change in land use. The recovery of mangroves is primarily attributed to the cessation of aquaculture and the active involvement of the Tha Sak subdistrict's Small-Scale Fishermen Group, highlighting the success of community-based restoration. This study provides evidence of the critical role local communities play in bringing about positive environmental change and enabling Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 15: Life on Land from ecosystem restoration, SDG 14: Life Below Water for conservation of coastal areas, and SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities for increasing community resilience. Involving local communities in mangrove restoration and preservation is key to long-term sustainability.

Abstract

This research aims to model and forecast the trajectory of socioeconomic integration between the BRICS countries and Turkey in the context of deglobalization and escalating geoeconomic fragmentation. The study evaluates the impact of external shocks, including the updated US tariff regime, trade conflicts, global downturns, sanctions pressure, and institutional limitations, on the sustainability and intensity of intra-bloc engagement. Employing a comparable panel time series from 2000 to 2023 for a selected set of countries, we apply several econometric methods for the first time in a unified framework: panel ARDL, Dumitrescu-Hurlin panel Granger causality tests, impulse response functions, variance decomposition, and ARIMA forecasting up to 2030. The empirical analysis results show that regional financial integration, infrastructure development, and R&D have a statistically significant and persistently positive impact on intra-bloc trade volumes and socioeconomic cooperation between BRICS countries and Turkey. Simultaneously, digital connectivity shows a short-term stimulating effect followed by phase saturation, indicating the need for the structural modernization of the digital environment. Institutional attributes exhibit heterogeneous effects, underscoring the necessity of harmonizing regulatory frameworks and aligning them with international sustainable development standards. The scientific novelty of this study resides in the design and empirical validation of an advanced forecasting model that incorporates institutional, infrastructural, innovation-related, and digital dimensions. This study delineates integration scenarios for BRICS and Turkey intended to inform strategies for regional macroeconomic coordination, establish transaction mechanisms based on national currencies, and define balanced investment priorities within the transition toward a multipolar global governance architecture.
