Transparent Reflexivity: How to Exude Neutrality and Navigate Gatekeeping Through Shifting Positionality?

Gaining access to interviewees when carrying out qualitative research is a time-consuming, challenging undertaking. When face to face with gatekeepers, the work of convincing them to share their contacts and knowledge is not over, particularly when the research involves antagonistic groups and the researcher’s positionality can be scrutinized in relation to that. In this article, based on my field work on hydraulic fracturing and its socioenvironmental impacts in Appalachia, I explore how my positionality shifted while being vouched for by funders and industry representatives. Additionally, I show how being probed due to my institutional affiliation, origin, and disciplinary background required me to strive to be perceived as neutral, in direct opposition to my feminist ethics, for the sake of ingratiating myself with gatekeepers. I problematize how this behavior was necessary as a first-year untenured faculty in the context of neoliberal academia, where I had to ensure meeting the funders’ expectations and paving the way for potential future additional funding and job security.

Declarative ship arenas under favourable conditions

According to maritime regulations, a collision-avoidance action shall be taken at an “ample time” while strict interpretation of this term is ambiguous. Evasive manoeuvres, executed by marine navigators on a daily basis, are usually carried out well in advance, while the distance at which they decide to perform such a manoeuvre is mostly subjective and results, e.g., from the navigator's seagoing experience. A proper understanding of the decision-maker's behaviour under favourable conditions, when time pressure does not exist, seems to be essential for the future of maritime safety. This could enable the translation and quantification of seafarers' routine actions, taken many times a day, into collision-avoidance algorithms suitable for Decision Support Systems (DSS) or Maritime Autonomous Surface Ships (MASS). The literature lacks extensive research on this subject, as it focuses mainly on safety-critical actions, which are important but rare events. Therefore, this study aims to fill this gap by surveying practitioners and extracting their expert knowledge. Based on an online survey, the declarative ship arenas, reflecting the distance of evasive manoeuvre initiation, were determined and analysed. The findings revealed that, depending on the participants' profiles, a range of responses among the groups reaches up to 2 NM. The results indicated that navigators become less consistent with growing experience. Determined declarative arenas were consequently incorporated into a simulation-based case study of a passenger ship. The conducted simulations indicated that for several scenarios, the passing distances resulting from the execution of an evasive manoeuvre as per declarative arena were less than 0.5 NM, potentially leading to dangerous situations at close range. This results most likely from an overall problem of translating the distance of manoeuvre initiation into the final passing distance. The findings of this research may be found interesting by shipping companies preparing bridge procedures or for scholars and industry representatives preparing intelligent collision-avoidance solutions for maritime transportation.

EXPLORING OPPORTUNITIES OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES FOR ENHANCING EFFICIENCY IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY WITHIN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

The construction industry is the largest consumer of raw materials and the largest generator of waste all over the world making it vulnerable to sustainability challenges. This research aims at establishing how blockchain (BC) and smart contract (SC) could improve circular economy strategies in construction industries. The research method used in the study is quantitative and data was collected through an online survey of 134 construction industry professionals from different countries with the most from the United Kingdom and Australia. The results of the study show that there is great potential for the enhancement of resource efficiency and efficiency of waste management within the construction sector through the adoption of BC and SC technologies but these are constrained by the following challenges. These are high infrastructure costs, lack of digital skills, and issues to do with security. The study recognises financial stability, organisational management, and government support as enablers in the adoption of the technology. Thus, the study enriches the existing body of knowledge by presenting a holistic view of the role of digital technologies in enabling circular economy in construction. The paper provides the concrete suggestions to the representatives of the tourism industry, stressing the need for the staged implementation strategies, sufficient technical support, and cooperation with other industries. This study provides evidence that despite the barriers, the benefits of adopting BC and SC technologies in construction circular economy practises are compelling enough to warrant implementation, given the right enabling environment.

Universities’ Contribution to the Creation and Diffusion of Innovation in Punjab, Pakistan: Exploring the Industries’ Perspective

The 21st-century economy thrives on rapid innovation, yet Pakistani universities lag in fostering an innovative ecosystem amid technological advancements. This study investigates the contribution of Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) to innovation creation and diffusion in Pakistan from the industry's perspective, an area previously unexplored. Primary data was collected through in-depth face-to-face interviews of directors, CEOs, and entrepreneurs from export-driven industries in Lahore, Sialkot, and Faisalabad. Thematic analysis was employed using NVivo 14 software. Findings reveal that most research conducted by Pakistani universities is primarily theoretical, outdated, and disconnected from current industrial needs. A lack of university-industry collaboration and the absence of effective public sector intermediaries further hinder technology transfer. This gap between academic research and industrial application stifles innovation diffusion. The study underscored that Pakistani universities are not effectively contributing to the creation and diffusion of innovation necessary for economic advancement. To bridge this gap, Universities should involve industrial representatives in their boards of studies and coordinate policy interventions from government organizations and universities to foster demand-driven research addressing specific industrial needs. Such collaborative efforts will enhance trust, spur innovation, and benefit HEIs, the Higher Education Commission (HEC), the Pakistan Science Foundation (PSF), and policymakers as they work to improve academia's impact on Pakistan's innovation landscape.

Limited tourism opportunities for residents of the Arctic regions were identified. The worst situation is observed in the Nenets Autonomous Area, somewhat better in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Discussion and Conclusion. The resuits indicate the need for integrated development of the Arctic regions. The article is of scientific and practical significance for scientists working on tourism development in the Arctic, regional authorities, representatives of the tourism industry.

Stakeholder perspectives on the current status and potential barriers of patient involvement in health technology assessment (HTA) across Europe.

There are wide variations in the practices of patient involvement in health technology assessment (HTA) in Europe. The field is lacking a consensus on good practices, leading to divergent processes, methods, and evaluation of patient involvement. To identify potential good practice approaches and current gaps, a structured online survey was conducted among HTA stakeholders, including HTA practitioners, patient stakeholders, industry representatives, and others who had experienced patient involvement in HTA. The questionnaire was co-created by HTA experts, patient stakeholders, and industry representatives and disseminated between 29 April and 14 September 2022. Responses (n=168) were submitted from thirty-two European countries by HTA practitioners (n=33), patient stakeholders (n=75), industry stakeholders (n=42), providers (n=5), academics (n=7), and others (n=6). The responses indicated that "allowing access to treatments that have demonstrated value"is the principle rationale for conducting HTA. In terms of the importance of patient involvement, there was consensus across stakeholder groups that "patients have insights and information [that] no other stakeholder has" and that patient involvement is important "to inform HTA which evidence is most patient-relevant". Shortcomings were identified in the lack of systematic and transparent processes, an unsatisfactory level of information and guidance, and minimal communication and collaboration. The diverse stakeholders who responded highlighted the need for improving specific aspects of patient involvement practices, including better guidance and information, a more consistent flow of communication between the HTA body and participating patient stakeholders, and the need to develop and implement a consensus on good practices.

Prospects for Implementation of Autonomous Vehicles and Associated Infrastructure in Developing Countries

This study explores the implementation and impact of autonomous vehicle (AV) systems, particularly in developing countries. While AVs promise enhanced road safety by reducing crashes, injuries, and fatalities, their adoption faces significant challenges, including public acceptance and infrastructure readiness. A mixed methods approach was employed, combining quantitative data from surveys of approximately 1500 randomly selected individuals and qualitative insights from in-depth interviews with policymakers, traffic engineers, and industry representatives. The quantitative analysis revealed high levels of perceived usefulness (78.8%), positive attitudes (87.78%), and expected benefits (86.09%) among respondents, indicating optimism about AVs’ potential to improve traffic efficiency and safety. However, concerns about technical reliability, cybersecurity, and the cost of infrastructure upgrades persist. Comparative analysis of physical and digital infrastructure highlighted significant gaps, particularly in road quality, markings, and internet connectivity. Policy implications emphasize the need for targeted public education to build trust and address safety concerns, regulatory reforms to ensure cybersecurity and ethical compliance, and strategic investments in infrastructure to meet AV requirements. Drawing on lessons from international contexts, the study recommends proactive stakeholder engagement and community outreach to align technological advancements with societal needs. These findings provide a roadmap for policymakers to navigate the challenges of AV adoption in Ethiopia and similar contexts, ensuring the integration of automation into sustainable and efficient transportation systems.

Placing Human Agency in the AI-powered Media Localisation Industry

The media localisation industry, as audiovisual translation (AVT) is commonly known, has undergone radical changes with the accelerated deployment of AI-powered solutions transforming production processes. This article examines how different stakeholders navigate this changing landscape: an industry promoting automation to meet growing demands, translators concerned about working conditions and professional sustainability, academia developing future professionals while researching technological impact, and audiences whose evolving expectations shape industry practices. Drawing on stakeholder theory, the analysis reveals how the sustainability of AVT requires balancing technological efficiency with human expertise. While AI tools promise faster turnaround times and reduced costs, their implementation must ensure long-term professional viability and translation quality. The article argues that successful integration of AI depends on creating value for all stakeholders through collaborative approaches that recognise translators’ agency and expertise. This requires conceptualising AI not merely as a cost-reduction tool but as part of a broader ecosystem where human expertise and technological capabilities complement each other to serve diverse global audiences. Lay summary Audiovisual translation is undergoing drastic changes due to the consolidation of an AI-powered media localisation industry. Escalating demands for faster content delivery, simultaneous releases in multiple languages, and changing production dynamics have been bolstered by an accelerated deployment of machine translation (MT) and AI technologies. This article assesses the impact of technology on media localisation by revising the perspectives of key stakeholders: industry representatives, professional translators, and academia. The review allows us to analyse the motivations and priorities of these stakeholders and, most importantly, the rationale guiding their positions. While the industry has embraced AI as an efficient response to the accelerated growth of media production and a solution to a declared shortage of professionals, professional associations have responded with strong warnings against post-editing and AI in media localisation. The magnitude and speed of recent changes have prompted primarily negative or cautious reactions from professionals. For them, the real issue lies in the deteriorating working conditions resulting from automated processes that ultimately lead to lower quality standards. As educators and researchers, we, as academics, are also in the midst of this evolving debate, grappling with the responsibility to quickly upskill ourselves to understand the nature and reach of the changes and to equip students with skills aligned with market demands; all this while instilling in them a critical awareness of these changes to ensure they can develop sustainable careers. After laying out the positions of these key stakeholders, the article proposes to encourage mutual recognition and awareness to foster understanding in an ever-evolving landscape. The potential of technology is evident, and its integration should not merely aim to replicate human work but should explore innovative ways to solve problems to address the complexities of creative translation processes. Ensuring the agency of human translators is recognised, the article constitutes a call to conceptualise processes that benefit from the expertise of human translators and successfully combine technological efficiency and human expertise to augment translation and expand the boundaries of media localisation.

Emerging Dilemmas in the Age of Resistance: The Case of Sexually Transmitted Infections.

The stage is set for a new era of precariousness in modern medicine, driven by the increasing failure of a key pharmaceutical pillar-antimicrobials. In the context of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), the rise of antimicrobial resistance is introducing urgent questions around what might constitute "best practice" in a rapidly evolving scene, including the value of asymptomatic screening (test and treat), and the consequent downstream collateral damage emerging from over-use of our diminishingly effective antimicrobial resources. Drawing on interviews with clinicians, experts, and industry representatives, we examine resistance as a site of emerging and co-constitutive moral, temporal, and economic dilemmas. Such dilemmas, as illustrated in participants' accounts, involve complexities regarding prioritization between competing health demands; doing good work while meeting business requirements; considering trade-offs between visibility and amplifying the problem; difficulties balancing presents and futures; reconciling divergent clinical opinions and expertise; and managing patient subjectivities, while considering the implications of clinical practices for resistance. Importantly, centering dilemmas in context of antibiotic-resistant STIs open greater theoretical scope to consider the challenging spaces that key actors such as clinicians and decision-makers occupy, as they attempt to curb resistance while caring for individuals and the community.

Addressing these issues effectively requires the involvement of a diverse range of stakeholders, including patients, treatment providers, home users, scientists and engineers from different disciplines, and industry representatives. Different groups, however, possess varying levels of knowledge and experience regarding the ethical use and innovation of neurotechnologies. Therefore, customized methods are needed to identify their perspectives and ethical concerns. This article aims to introduce practical methods for eliciting ethical questions in the field of neurotechnology, including user journeys, persona approaches, material thinking, scenario building, fictional media contributions, and categorization.

A pan-European survey of robotic training for gastrointestinal surgery: European Robotic Surgery Consensus (ERSC) initiative.

There has been a recent rapid growth in the adoption of robotic systems across Europe. This study aimed to capture the current state of robotic training in gastrointestinal (GI) surgery and to identify potential challenges and barriers to training within Europe. A pan-European survey was designed to account for the opinion of the following GI surgery groups: (i) experts/independent practitioners; (ii) trainees with robotic access; (iii) trainees without robotic access; (iv) robotic industry representatives. The survey explored various aspects, including stakeholder opinions on bedside assisting, console operations, challenges faced and performance assessment. It was distributed through multiple European surgical societies and industry, in addition to social media and snowball sampling, between December 2023 and March 2024. A total of 1360 participants responded, with valid/complete responses from 1045 participants across 38 European countries. Six hundred and ninety-five (68.0%) experts and trainees were not aware of a dedicated robotic training curriculum for trainees, with 13/23 (56.5%) industry representatives not incorporating training for trainees in their programme. Among trainees with access to robotic systems, 94/195 (48.2%) had not performed any robotic cases, citing challenges including a lack of certified robotic trainers and training lists. Both experts and trainees agreed that trainees should start bedside assisting and operating on the console earlier than they currently do. Assessment tools of trainee performance were not being used by 139/479 (29.0%) participants. This pan-European survey highlights the need for a standardised robotic curriculum to address the gap in visceral training, assessment and certification. A greater emphasis may be required on implementing robotic training earlier through simulation training, dual console learning, bedside assisting, key clinical performance indicators, and assessment tools. The findings will guide the development of a pan-European consensus on the essential components of a comprehensive training programme for GI robotic surgery.

Between the Mastery of the Environment and the Culture of Fear: Shifting American Values in a Slovak Context

Since the start of the new millennium, the American way of thinking about nature and the human relationship with the natural environment has undergone a marked shift, with increasingly influential civic and political environmental movements finding new ways of confronting the public, representatives of industries and political actors with the direct and the anticipated consequences of the heedless exploitation of non-renewable natural resources. The generations born in the first decades of the 21st century demonstrate a strong affiliation with these new environmentalist movements and are drifting towards more radical – sometimes even destructive – acts of environmental activism. This growing movement is international in scope and has also begun to make itself felt in Slovakia. This study discusses the extent to which the new generations of Slovak teenagers and young adults follow and identify with the American view of environmental radicalism. The research examines the process of Americanization and anti Americanism among young Slovaks, applying methodologies used in the social sciences to determine whether the culture of fear is influencing the new generations’ way of thinking.

Policy stagnation or reevaluation? Exploring the regulatory dimensions of carbon capture, utilisation and storage in Finland and the Baltic countries

Carbon capture, utilisation and storage (CCUS) technologies are increasingly viewed as essential tools in the global effort to mitigate climate change by rapidly reducing carbon emissions. Within the European Union (EU) regulatory framework, these technologies are positioned as critical components in the transition to an industrial climate-neutral future, as they hold significant potential to reduce carbon emissions and help meet long-term climate goals. Yet, despite this potential, the large-scale deployment of CCUS technologies continues to face challenges. This study explores the specific regulatory and policy challenges hindering the implementation of CCUS in Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania. The policy cycle approach used in the analysis highlights the importance of continuous evaluation and adaptation to ensure policies remain effective and responsive to both technological advancements and societal needs. Through interviews with high-level decision-makers and industry representatives and a comparative analysis of national policies and their alignment with EU-level regulations, the research identifies a significant disconnect between EU ambitions and national execution. Scepticism from decision-makers towards CCUS technologies, coupled with a lack of trust in regulatory bodies from the industry, has further intensified these challenges and made it difficult for CCUS technologies to gain momentum. To address these issues, we recommend clearer, more harmonised regulations and increased collaboration between decision-makers, industries and researchers. The successful implementation of CCUS technologies could significantly contribute to achieving shared climate goals.

Advancing quantum technology workforce: industry insights into qualification and training needs

The transition of second-generation quantum technologies from a research topic to a topic of industrial relevance has led to a growing number of quantum companies and businesses that are exploring quantum technologies. Examples would include a start-up building a quantum key distribution device, a large company working on integrating a quantum sensing core into a product, or a company providing quantum computing consultancy. They all face different challenges and needs in terms of building their quantum workforce and training in quantum concepts, technologies and how to derive value from them. With the study documented in this paper, we aim to identify these needs and provide a picture of the industry’s requirements in terms of workforce development and (external) training and materials. We discuss, for example, the shortage of engineers and jobs relevant to the quantum industry, the challenge of getting people interested in quantum, and the need for training at different levels and in different formats – from awareness raising and self-learning materials to university courses in quantum systems engineering. The findings are based on 34 semi-structured interviews with industry representatives and a follow-up questionnaire to validate some of the issues raised in the interviews. These results have influenced activities in EU projects, including an update of the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies.

A dynamic capabilities framework for agriculture education partnerships

ABSTRACT Purpose Our study aimed to identify the characteristics required to develop effective teacher-industry partnerships in Australia. These partnerships are increasingly important in agricultural for teachers to better understand the technological careers available for their students in agriculture. To determine the dynamic capabilities required for effective partnership in agriculture, we examined how teachers and industry representatives worked in partnerships to increase knowledge and understanding of agriculture technology in schools. Design/Methodology/Approach A qualitative case study methodology was used which focussed on industry representatives’ and teachers’ experiences in the context of a teacher professional development programme. Semi-structured interviews were used to explore five purposively selected teacher-industry partnerships that were formed during the programme. Findings This study has identified specific characteristics and behaviours required for effective teacher-industry partnerships in Australia and provide a practical guide for those seeking to work together to improve the visibility of agriculture careers and support a talent pipeline into the sector. Practical Implications Our research has found that for Australian teachers to be role models for future agriculture professionals and provide up-to-date information about the career opportunities available in agriculture, they require knowledge of authentic industry practices that can be developed through partnerships with industry. Theoretical Implications This study applies the Dynamic Capabilities (Dentoni et al. 2016) framework to an agriculture education context and extends it by identifying critical characteristics for agricultural education partnerships. Originality/Value Establishing stronger ties between agriculture teachers and industry is more important than ever given the critical talent pipeline issues facing the Australian agriculture sector. This paper contributes by providing a framework of dynamic capabilities required for effective teacher-industry partnerships in agriculture education.
