A Systematic Review on Osmotic Computing

To respond to the challenges like population growth, climate change, economic instability, cities are taking a data-driven, modern technology-oriented approach to provide better service, improved quality of life and a sustainable future. With the advancement of technologies, such as Building Information Modeling (BIM), applications of information integrated 3D models have started gaining popularity among the architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) researchers. Considering the benefits of BIM and the requirements of smart cities, the amalgamation of BIM and smart city research was obvious. As the researches in both fields have become mature, a review of the BIM applications in the context of smart cities is much needed at this point. Ninety-two (92) papers from two major online databases were retrieved and analyzed through a systematic literature review approach. Results show that present researches are mostly focused on technology advancement. Six major research directions are observed. Sustainability, facility management, and construction management related researches have been discussed most frequently.

PurposeThis review paper, using a systematic literature review (SLR) approach, aims to unravel the various system-wide waste in the construction industry and highlight the connectivity to construction phases, namely men, materials, machines, methods and measurement (5M) and impacting factors.Design/methodology/approachThis study used an SLR approach and examined articles published since the 2000s to explore the connectivity of system-wide waste to construction phases, 5M and impacting factors. The results are given in table forms and a causal loop diagram.FindingsResults show that the construction and demolition (CD) waste research carried out from various perspectives is standalone. The review identified ten types of system-wide waste with strong interlinks in the construction industry. The finding highlights connectivity between wastes other than material, labour and time and the wastes' impacting factors. Further, the review results highlighted the solid connectivity for construction phases, 5M, and impacting factors such as productivity (P), delay (D), accidents (A), resource utilisation (R) and cost(C).Research limitations/implicationsSLR methodology limitations include not keeping in phase with the most updated field knowledge. This limitation is offset by choosing the range for literature review within the last two decades. This literature review may not have captured all published articles because the restriction of database access and search was based only on English. Also, fruitful articles hiding in less popular journals may not be included in the well-known database that was searched. Researcher bias of the authors and other researchers that authored the articles referred to is a limitation. These limitations are acknowledged.Practical implicationsThis article unravels the construction system-wide waste and the waste's interlinks, which would aid industry understanding and focus on eliminating the waste. The article highlights the connectivity of system-wide wastes to 5M, which would help better understand the causes of the waste. Further, the paper discusses the connectivity of system-wide waste, 5M and P, D, A, R and C that would aid the organisation's overall performance. The practical and theoretical implications include a better understanding of waste types to help capture better data for waste reduction and productivity improvement. The operating managers could use the tracking of wastes to compare estimated and actual resources at every process stage. This article on system-wide waste, 5M and P, D, A, R and C, relationships and their effects can theorize that the construction industry is more likely to identify clear root causes of waste now than previously. The theoretical implications include enhanced understanding for academics on connectivity between waste, 5M and P, D, A, R and C that the academics can use and expand to provide new insights to existing knowledge.Originality/valueFor the first time, this article categorised and highlighted the ten types of waste in construction industries and the industries' connectivity to construction phases, 5M and impacting factors.

There is a risk of bias in the research since current literature review frameworks frequently lack measurement of the volume of literature, guidance on keyword inclusion, confidence in detecting knowledge gaps, and framing of research objectives. This calls into question the review's legitimacy and dependability. In order to overcome these difficulties, we want to enhance the systematic literature review (SLR) approach, which begins with a literature review and is then followed by another literature review. The researchers used a systematic literature review approach, the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA), to obtain relevant publications related to young people's marriage readiness. This process was divided into three main stages: identification, screening, and eligibility. Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus were the two main databases used in the study, containing over 33,000 journals spanning over 256 disciplines, such as psychology, environmental studies, developmental studies, and integrative social sciences. Primary research, psychological marriage readiness, readiness to marry, adolescent and young adult populations aged 1 to 25 years, and papers in English were the inclusion criteria for this study. Based on prior research findings, it has been shown that various aspects, including financial, emotional, sexual, personality, and mental readiness, are significant determinants of a person's marital readiness. This comprehensive literature review indicates that marriage readiness is influenced by three key aspects: individual, financial, and social factors. The results indicate a need for additional research on these factors.

In the current era of globalization and the internationalization of capital markets, it is crucial to have clear and prompt financial reporting. Accounting conservatism is an essential qualitative characteristic in the field of accounting information. This study employs the Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach to examine the factors influencing the selection of accounting conservatism within the framework of recognized national journals. By implementing rigorous inclusion and exclusion criteria, this study utilized Google Scholar to identify 10 nationally recognized journals that have received accreditation. The literature search process was meticulously overseen and employed the Publish or Perish application to guarantee precision and consistency in data compilation. The research findings indicate that managerial ownership of shares has a substantial and favorable impact on implementing accounting conservatism practices. Specifically, 81.22% of the companies in the sample were in a state of non-financial distress. Also, factors such as profitability, capital intensity, CEO gender, and board size impact accounting conservatism. Financial and non-financial factors influence such policies, including financial stress, leverage, and institutional ownership. These findings offer valuable insights into the dynamics of accounting conservatism in companies, inform financial decisions and the development of company policies, as well as provide guidance for future research in accounting and finance.

The sudden expansion in financial technology (FinTech) has altered conventional banking immensely by transforming operations, customer services, and risk management systems. This research therefore employs a systematic literature review (SLR) approach that adheres to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) standards to assess the influence of FinTech on three bank performance indicators: operating efficiency, risk management, and customer service. A total of 41 peer-reviewed articles, published between 2018 and 2024, were shortlisted from Scopus and Web of Science (WoS). Out of these, 19 utilized frontier efficiency techniques like stochastic frontier analysis (SFA) and data envelopment analysis (DEA). The results indicate that FinTech improves operating efficiency when integrated optimally, as noted by Allen et al. (2022). Yet, outcomes differ by region and type of bank, as some Chinese banks have seen a decline in efficiency (Lee et al., 2023). In risk management, FinTech technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI) have been shown to decrease operational risk (Cheng & Qu, 2023). Customer satisfaction is enhanced further with digital services and personalization (Barbu et al., 2021). Although adoption poses additional risks, the research concludes that FinTech implementation, if managed strategically, will increase bank performance. This review thus offers actionable advice for policymakers and financial institutions to navigate digital transformation.

This paper systematically reviews the drivers of work-family enrichment and job enrichment within the 2019–2024 timeframe from a philosophical perspective.
