Frontline Workers and Civic Tech: Bridging the Responsiveness Gap in Digital Client Encounters

Public Administration Review, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT As governments increasingly digitalize client encounters, there are growing concerns that standardized platforms may reduce bureaucratic responsiveness, particularly for historically underserved communities. We examine whether frontline workers help close that gap through their use of civic‐tech platforms.

SMAA‐Based FITradeoff: An Efficient Framework for Pairwise Elicitation in Multicriteria Decision Analysis

Journal of Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis, Volume 33, Issue 2, August 2026.
ABSTRACT The Flexible and Interactive Tradeoff Elicitation (FITradeoff) method is a Multi‐Attribute Decision‐Making (MADM) approach designed to capture the preferences of a Decision Maker (DM) while minimising cognitive effort. To reduce the frequency of interactions and optimise the preference elicitation process, this paper introduces an innovative ...

Outage Performance of Two-Hop OFDM Systems With Spatially Random Decode-and-Forward Relays

IEEE Access, 2017
In this paper, we analyze the outage performance of different multicarrier relay selection schemes for two-hop orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) systems in a Poisson field of relays. In particular, special emphasis is placed on decode-and-

A Deep Learning Framework for Peak Ground Velocity Prediction Using Multi‐Station Velocity Waveforms: The Taiwan Transformer Shaking Alert Model (TT‐SAM)

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 3, Issue 3, June 2026.
Abstract This study proposes a deep‐learning–based regional earthquake early warning model, the Taiwan Transformer Shaking Alert Model (TT‐SAM). The model adopts peak ground velocity (PGV) as its primary ground shaking prediction unit, aiming to better reflect actual structural damage and thereby enhance the practical utility and accuracy of the ...

Lost in Transcription: Frequency of Inaccurate Manually Documented Point‐of‐Care Blood Glucose and Ketone Measures in Hospital

Endocrinology, Diabetes &Metabolism, Volume 9, Issue 3, May 2026.
Manual transcription of point‐of‐care blood glucose and ketone results into hospital charts was frequently inaccurate compared with automated networked glucose monitoring records. In a two‐month audit of 250 admissions, missing and incorrect entries were common, with many discrepancies clinically significant.
