    We study global and local geometry of forms on odd symplectic BV supermanifolds, constructed from the total space of the bundle of 1-forms on a base supermanifold. We show that globally 1-forms are an extension of vector bundles defined on the base supermanifold. In the holomorphic category, we prove that this extension is split if and only if the super Atiyah class of the base supermanifold vanishes. This is equivalent to the existence of a holomorphic superconnection: we show how this condition is related to the characteristic non-split geometry of complex supermanifolds.

    Stationary retailers may introduce new technologies, such as augmented reality, to provide product information and recommendations and thus improve shopping experience. Examples of such augmented reality applications are magic mirrors that enable virtual try-on and may induce cross-buying intention. Based on an experimental scenario and the corresponding results from 301 questionnaires, we find that magic mirrors positively impact consumers’ cross-buying intention. Cross-buying behavior depends particularly on price attractiveness and the aesthetic appeal of the products. Further, men place less emphasis on price attractiveness when considering cross-buying options than women.

    In this manuscript, we present a common tensor framework which can be used to generalize one-dimensional numerical tasks to arbitrary dimension d by means of tensor product formulas. This is useful, for example, in the context of multivariate interpolation, multidimensional function approximation using pseudospectral expansions and solution of stiff differential equations on tensor product domains. The key point to obtain an efficient-to-implement BLAS formulation consists in the suitable usage of the μ-mode product (also known as tensor-matrix product or mode-n product) and related operations, such as the Tucker operator. Their MathWorks MATLAB®/GNU Octave implementations are discussed in the paper, and collected in the package KronPACK.

    The COVID-19 pandemic proved to be an unprecedented socio-economic crisis in the last decades. More than three years after its outbreak, there is still uncertainty regarding its future evolution. National and international authorities adopted a prompt and synchronized response to limit the adverse effects of the health crisis, in terms of socio-economic damage. Against this background, this paper assesses the efficiency of the measures implemented by fiscal authorities in selected Central and Eastern European countries to ameliorate the economic repercussions of the crisis. The analysis reveals that the impact of expenditure-side measures is stronger than that of revenue-side ones. Additionally, the results of a time-varying parameter model indicate that the fiscal multipliers are h...

    Reusable laryngoscopes have been reported to be superior to disposable laryngoscopes with plastic blades during emergent intubations. Surprisingly, at our institution a quality reporting system revealed a high number of equipment failures with reusable laryngoscopes in an emergency out-of-OR (operating room) setting. As recent studies indicated an improved quality of disposable laryngoscopes, we hypothesized that a thoroughly evaluated disposable laryngoscope would result in less equipment failure in an emergency out-of-OR setting.

    In this paper, we investigate the 3D incompressible Hall-magnetohydrodynamics with partial dissipation. Based on the results in (Du in Bound. Value Probl. 2022:6, 2022; Du and Liu in Acta Math. Sci. 42A:5, 2022; Fei and Xiang in J. Math. Phys. 56:051504, 2015), we establish an improved blow-up criterion for classical solutions. Furthermore, using the blow-up criterion, we also obtain the existence of the classical solutions only under the condition that the initial data ∥V0∥H1+∥B0∥H2 are sufficiently small.1 Introduction

    This book is written for those interested in acquiring a thorough knowledge base relative to the intricacies of the organizational theories, customs, and insights significant to the management of health service organizations. It examines the foundational aspects of leadership and management as they relate to establishing and maintaining the principles and practices within healthcare organizations. The book opens with a discussion on the differences between health, healthcare, and health care while providing an overview of healthcare management and organizational trends. It culminates in discussions of leadership, management, motivation, organizational behavior, and management thinking. Additionally, it discusses topics of information technology, teamwork, health disparities, organiz...

    The concept of sustainability is important for companies both in the case of SMEs and worldwide multinational companies. Some key factors to help a company achieve its sustainability objectives are based on human resource management. Sustainable human resource management is a typical cross-functional task that becomes increasingly important at the strategic level of a company. Industry 4.0 technologies, Internet of Things, and competitive demands, as signs of globalization, have led to significant changes across the organizational structures and human resource strategies of companies. The increasing importance of sophisticated human resource strategies in the life of companies and the intention to find optimal design and operation strategies for sustainable human resource management...

    This study examines the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on corporate financial performance using a unique, cross-country, and longitudinal sample of 3350 listed firms worldwide. We find that the financial performance of family firms has been significantly higher than that of nonfamily firms during the COVID-19 pandemic, accounting for pre-pandemic business conditions. This effect is pertinent to firms with strong family involvement in management or in both management and ownership. We also identify the role of firm-, industry-, and country-level contingencies for family business financial performance during the COVID-19 pandemic. This study offers a novel understanding of the financial resilience across different types of family business and sets an agenda for future research on the...

    3D morphable models (3DMMs) are generative models for face shape and appearance. Recent works impose face recognition constraints on 3DMM shape parameters so that the face shapes of the same person remain consistent. However, the shape parameters of traditional 3DMMs satisfy the multivariate Gaussian distribution. In contrast, the identity embeddings meet the hypersphere distribution, and this conflict makes it challenging for face reconstruction models to preserve the faithfulness and the shape consistency simultaneously.
