No App, No Entry: Conceptualizing Digital Technology Captivity in Service Access

Psychology &Marketing, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT We introduce Digital Technology Captivity (DTC), a form of consumer vulnerability that arises when digital technologies become the mandatory gateway to essential services. When access is tied to systems that feel unfamiliar, complex, or intimidating—and when preferred alternatives are limited—consumers may experience heightened vulnerability ...

The Analgesic Effect of Extended Reality (XR) on Acute and Postoperative Pain in Children: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Pediatric Anesthesia, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Acute and postoperative pain in children is often undertreated, with effects on patient comfort and postoperative recovery. Extended reality (XR) interventions offer non‐pharmacological pain management by distracting patients from discomfort.

CONCERT: A Modular Reconfigurable Robot for Construction

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This paper presents CONCERT, a fully reconfigurable modular collaborative robot (cobot) for multiple on‐site operations in a construction site. CONCERT has been designed to support human activities in construction sites by leveraging two main characteristics: high‐power density motors and modularity. In this way, the robot is able to perform a

Efficient and Adaptive Autonomous Guidance and Control of Planetary Rover With Improved Traction Controller and Dynamic Cost Map

Journal of Field Robotics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Planetary exploration is rapidly gaining importance within the space research community. Autonomous locomotion of rovers requires consideration of several mobility aspects to ensure safety, including avoiding hazardous areas that can cause the robot to become immobilized in soft soil or damaged in sharp terrains.

Programmed unmanned aerial vehicles show great potential for monitoring marine megafauna in specific areas of interest

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Targeted conservation measures are contingent on robust knowledge of spatio‐temporal animal distribution in areas of interest. We explore unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) transect monitoring as a novel method for standardized digital aerial surveys of marine megafauna by investigating the fine‐resolution spatio‐temporal distribution of harbour porpoises ...

Cake Defense game for the android operative system

, 2012
ENGELSK: Cake Defense is a game project based on the game genre tower defense (TD). With a few disputes in the implementation of this genre we have come up with an interactive TD, resulting in a unique game for the android mobile phones. The player himself must take care of enemies that come at any time, whose mission is to eat the cake in the middle ...

Platform competition and strategic trade‐offs for complementors: Heterogeneous reactions to the entry of a new platform

Strategic Management Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Research Summary We study how the entry of a rival platform affects the strategies of the incumbent's complementors. The latter face a trade‐off: While the entry threatens their benefits from indirect network effects, it also allows them to escape intense within‐platform competition.
