This paper provides a systematic review of the literature on big data capabilities, business model innovation, firm performance, and environmental uncertainty. It aims to establish a foundation for theoretical modeling, research proposition refinement, and the overall research framework by meticulously examining the theoretical backgrounds of existing studies and identifying research gaps. An initial search yielded 1,360 articles, which were filtered to remove duplicates and irrelevant studies, resulting in 475 articles for final analysis. These articles were classified into three main categories: the relationship between big data capabilities and business model innovation, the impact of business model innovation on firm performance, and the integrated relationship involving environmental uncertainty. Additionally, it examines the mediating role of business model innovation on firm performance as well as the moderating effect of environmental uncertainty on these relationships. Finally, the paper formulates research hypotheses and discusses identified research gaps, establishing a solid groundwork for methodological discussions in future research and contributing to the advancement of knowledge in the field.

Electronic word of mouth (eWOM) has been gaining popularity pertaining to its numerous benefits and ability to be applied in various fields. It helps consumers in making informed decisions and aids service providers in delivering an enhanced service or product. Despite all these benefits, dealing with the huge amounts of eWOM is a consistent problem. eWOM helpfulness comes handy in order to address this issue. In this study, we utilize 16699 hotels related eWOM written by 1099 reviewers which are collected from TripAdvisor.com. Our main objective is to analyze which factors impact eWOM helpfulness and how. For this purpose, eight unique variables belonging to three different categories are selected (eWOM length, eWOM subjectivity, eWOM polarity, eWOM readability, eWOM recency, hotel rating, reviewer badge and reviewer helpfulness) and are analyzed using econometric modelling. Our findings show that hotel rating as well as reviewer badge and helpfulness enjoy a positive significant relationship with eWOM helpfulness. It also suggests that eWOM length, readability and subjectivity positively influences eWOM helpfulness though eWOM polarity and recency are found to have an inverse relationship with the helpfulness of eWOM. Thus, our study reports that review, hotel and reviewer characteristics impact eWOM helpfulness in different ways. This study is summarized with the discussion of theoretical and practical implications.

This study critically examines the sustainability challenges within the lithium-ion battery (LIB) supply chain in India's electric vehicle (EV) sector, an area of growing importance due to the rapid expansion of EV adoption. While LIBs are essential for EVs due to their high energy density and reliability, their production and disposal pose significant environmental, social, and economic sustainability challenges. These include resource depletion, environmental degradation, ethical concerns in raw material sourcing, and inefficient recycling processes. This study adopts a qualitative case study approach, focusing on three leading Indian automotive companies, to explore these challenges in depth. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with key stakeholders involved in various stages of the LIB supply chain, including production, waste management, and recycling. Key findings reveal that the primary environmental challenge is the lack of advanced green technologies for recycling and disposal, leading to high water and energy consumption, as well as hazardous waste emissions. Social challenges include unsafe labor practices, particularly in raw material extraction, and a shortage of skilled labor in battery recycling operations. On the economic front, the reliance on imported raw materials, coupled with high production and recycling costs, undermines the sector’s sustainability and profitability. The research contributes to the literature by providing a comprehensive understanding of the environmental, social, and economic dimensions of sustainability in the LIB supply chain. It also offers practical insights for stakeholders and policymakers aiming to foster a greener and more sustainable EV sector in India.  

Android malware is one of the most dangerous threats on the Internet.  It has been on the rise for several years.  As a result, it has impacted many applications such as healthcare, banking, transportation, government, e-commerce, etc.  One of the most growing attacks is on Android systems due to its use in many devices worldwide.  De-spite significant efforts in detecting and classifying Android malware, there is still a long way to improve the detection process and the classification performance.  There is a necessity to provide a basic understanding of the behavior displayed by the most common Android malware categories and families.  Hence, understand the distinct ob-jective of malware after identifying their family and category.  This paper proposes an effective systematic and functional parallel machine-learning model for the dynamic detection of Android malware categories and families.  Standard machine learning classifiers are implemented to analyze a massive malware dataset with 14 major mal-ware categories and 180 prominent malware families of the CCCS-CIC-AndMal2020 on dynamic layers to detect Android malware categories and families.  The paper ex-periments with many machine learning algorithms and compares the proposed model with the most recent related work.  The results indicate more than 96 % accuracy for Android Malware Category detection and more than 99% for Android Malware family detection overperforming the current related methods.  The proposed model offers a highly accurate method for dynamic analysis of Android malware that cuts down the time required to analyze smartphone malware.

This paper gives a performance analysis of multiple vote classifiers based on meta-classification methods for estimating the risk of diabetes. The study's dataset includes a number of biological and clinical risk variables that can result in the development of diabetes. In the analysis, classifiers like Random Forest, Logistic Regression, Gradient Boosting, Support Vector Machines, and Artificial Neural Networks were used. In the study, each classifier was trained and evaluated separately, and the outcomes were compared to those attained using meta-classification methods. Some of the meta-classifiers used in the analysis included Majority Voting, Weighted Majority Voting, and Stacking. The effectiveness of each classifier was evaluated using a number of measures, including accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and Area under the Curve (AUC). The results show that meta-classification techniques often outperform solo classifiers in terms of prediction precision. Random Forest and Gradient Boosting, two different classifiers, had the highest accuracy, while Logistic Regression performed the worst. The best performing meta-classifier was stacking, which achieved an accuracy of 84.25%. Weighted Majority Voting came in second (83.86%) and Majority Voting came in third (82.95%).

Purpose: In contemporary times, augmented reality is a cornerstone technology within the tourism sector. Nonetheless, the inclination towards embracing and utilizing augmented reality applications in tourism hinges upon multifaceted determinants, meriting examination through the integrated lens of technology acceptance and use theory. Concurrently, these determinants sway individuals' hedonistic motivations to engage with such apps. This juncture holds significance for managerial considerations, delineating pivotal factors influencing the adoption of this technology. Hence, this present inquiry explores the nexus between the technology acceptance and use theory and the hedonistic motivations for tourism augmented reality apps on mobile platforms within the Iranian context.Method: The current research's statistical population consists of users of tourism augmented reality apps. The sample size is 201 users. The data collection tool is a questionnaire. A structural equation test was used to analyze the data.Findings: The research findings indicate that four factors, namely performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions, have a positive and significant impact on the hedonic motivation to use tourism augmented reality apps. Moreover, all four factors of the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) positively influenced the intention to use augmented reality applications on mobile phones. Additionally, hedonic motivation was shown to positively and significantly affect the intention to use tourism augmented reality apps on mobile phones. Notably, hedonic motivation is a crucial mediator between the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) dimensions and the intention to use augmented reality applications. However, the mediating role of hedonic motivation was not supported for performance expectancy and behavioral intention.Conclusion: This research investigates the factors influencing the motivation to use augmented reality (AR) apps in tourism. It finds that performance expectancy, effort expectancy, social influence, and facilitating conditions positively impact hedonic motivation for AR app usage. The study validates the Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT) for predicting AR app adoption. Notably, hedonic motivation mediates between UTAUT dimensions and intention to use AR technology, suggesting implications for enhancing AR app design in the tourism sector.
