Laurels or Thorns of Trust? How Embeddedness Moderates the Exchange‐Satisfaction Relationship in Franchising

open access: yesManagerial and Decision Economics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Exchanges in franchise systems are embedded in the level of trust that exists in franchisee–franchisor relationships. Although trust is essential in business relationships, it can unfold a negative side effect on the appreciation of exchange in these relationships as hidden costs of trust.

Configurational Energy as a Microstructural Descriptor of Failure Precursors in 2D Frictional Granular Materials

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Localized deformation in dense granular materials, often culminating in the formation of shear bands, is a key failure mechanism in geotechnical and material systems. However, predicting the onset of such localization remains a fundamental challenge due to the system's inherent inelasticity and microstructural complexity.

What Role Does the Central Nervous System Play in Refractory LUTS, and What Are the Therapeutic Implications? ICI‐RS 2025

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aims While many patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) improve by treating peripheral causes, a substantial proportion continue to experience symptoms despite apparently successful interventions. Central nervous system (CNS) mechanisms could potentially contribute to persisting symptoms after the initial peripheral cause has been ...

What Are the Limitations of Measuring Bladder Compliance, As the Sole Indicator of Future Risk to the Upper Urinary Tract and Renal Function? ICI‐RS 2025

open access: yesNeurourology and Urodynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Maintenance of bladder filling and urinary storage at low intravesical pressures is fundamental to minimizing risk to the upper urinary tract. Bladder compliance describes the relationship between the bladder volume and the change in detrusor pressure during the filling phase of urodynamics.

Risk Analysis Index Outperforms the Modified Frailty Index in Predicting Outcomes in Thyroidectomy and Parathyroidectomy

open access: yesOtolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective In an aging population, patients undergoing thyroidectomy and parathyroidectomy are at an increased risk of adverse outcomes; thus, measuring patient frailty is a key metric to assess risk. This study innovatively compares the utility of the Risk Analysis Index (RAI) with the 5‐factor Modified Frailty Index (mFI‐5) in predicting ...
