Single‐Pump‐Actuated Transformable Dual‐Mode Gripper Based on Bistable and Origami Structures for Cross‐Scale Object Grasping

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Single‐pump‐actuated transformable dual‐mode gripper (SATDG) that combines vacuum suction and granular jamming to effectively grasp objects ranging from 10 to 300 mm in size, spanning a vast 30‐fold range, with forces from 0.5 to 21 N, is studied. Using a bistable mechanism and origami structure, the SATDG can transform between two modes and activate ...

Deep Q‐Network‐Based Hierarchical Path Planning of a Biped Wall‐Climbing Robot for Window Cleaning

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This article presents a biped wall‐cleaning climbing robotic system for the maintenance of multi‐isolated areas on exoskeleton‐structured windows (ESWs). A full coverage cleaning approach is proposed by integrating a deep Q‐network‐based method with the robotic system to address the complete coverage cleaning path planning problem.

Managing by values in healthcare: Development and validation of the health care values inventory measurement scale

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 105-128, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Objective The aim of this study is to conceptualise and develop the Health Care Values Inventory (HEVAIN). For this purpose, we first explore key organizational values at different levels of the organisation. Then, we propose and validate a measurement scale based on the Triaxial system of values, which is represented by three axes, including ...

Strengthening the ICUs' human resource‐related responses to Covid‐19: A rapid review of the experience during the first year of public health emergency

open access: yesThe International Journal of Health Planning and Management, Volume 38, Issue 1, Page 22-39, January 2023., 2023
Abstract By drawing on macro‐categories of key human resource (HR) management interventions recommended by the Organization for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) during the Covid‐19 pandemic, this study aimed to explore whether and how Intensive Care Units (ICU) have strengthened their HRs during the first year of Covid‐19 emergency. A rapid

An Eyeball‐Movement‐Inspired Multi‐DOF Miniature Piezoelectric Actuator with Strong Load‐Driving Capability

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Inspired by the eye movements of humans, a multi‐degree‐of‐freedom (multi‐DOF) miniature piezoelectric actuator with a square‐circular ring structure is proposed. The actuator demonstrates a well‐balanced performance in miniaturization, operational efficiency, actuation precision, and load‐driving capability.

Does age matter? Examining career commitment as a moderator in the relationship between age‐related HR/D practices and subjective career success for younger versus older academic staff

open access: yesHuman Resource Development Quarterly, Volume 33, Issue 4, Page 405-425, Winter 2022., 2022
Abstract Building upon the job demands–resources framework and employing an interactionist perspective, the purpose of this scholarly work was to investigate the relationship between age‐related HR/D practices (being a contextual antecedent) and career commitment (being a personal antecedent), and the interaction between these two, on the one hand, and
