Abstract:

Regarding digital platforms in recent years, the abuse of a platform’s dominant position, applications monitoring user behaviour, the difficulty of exiting digital platforms, and the inability of users to transfer data on platforms have become increasingly acute, which makes the evaluation of the openness of digital platforms extremely urgent. This paper applies the relatively objective entropy-weighted TOPSIS method to construct a digital platform openness index (DPOI) to evaluate the openness of 22 digital platforms in China. The research found that there are certain institutional constraints and obstacles in the access, transaction, exit, and transfer of different types of digital platform, and it is necessary to sustainably improve the openness of digital platforms to bring convenience to users in the future. Our results not only update the practical data on the openness of emerging digital platforms, but also enrich the literature in the field of digital platform openness, which has significant implications for evaluating the openness of digital platforms in emerging markets such as China.

Abstract:

Decentralized clinical trials (DCTs) are becoming increasingly popular. Digital clinical trial platforms are software environments where users complete designated clinical trial tasks, providing investigators and trial participants with efficient tools to support trial activities and streamline trial processes. In particular, digital platforms with a modular architecture lend themselves to DCTs, where individual trial activities can correspond to specific platform modules. While design features can allow users to customize their platform experience, the real strengths of digital platforms for DCTs are enabling centralized data capture and remote monitoring of trial participants and in using digital technologies to streamline workflows and improve trial management. When selecting a platform for use in a DCT, sponsors and investigators must consider the specific trial requirements. All digital platforms are limited in their functionality and technical capabilities. Integrating additional functional modules into a central platform may solve these challenges, but few commercial platforms are open to integrating third-party components. The lack of common data standardization protocols for clinical trials will likely limit the development of one-size-fits-all digital platforms for DCTs. This viewpoint summarizes the current role of digital platforms in supporting decentralized trial activities, including a discussion of the potential benefits and challenges of digital platforms for investigators and participants. We will highlight the role of the digital platform in the development of DCTs and emphasize where existing technology is functionally limiting. Finally, we will discuss the concept of the ideal fully integrated and unified DCT and the obstacles developers must address before it can be realized.

Abstract:

Purpose This paper aims to test the “winner-takes-all” vs the “winner-takes-some” scenarios in digital platform competition dynamics in emerging markets. Design/methodology/approach This paper uses an analytical reference framework to assess the emergence of digital platforms in Russia, including four elements: definition of multi-sided platforms (MSPs), platform enablers, business models and competitive dynamics. Findings This paper concludes that Russia shows that a healthy competition between national and foreign MSPs led to the emergence of a shared equilibrium, where local platforms were able to retain a significant, often majority, share vis-à-vis foreign and global platforms. Research limitations/implications This paper stands as a counterpoint to the widespread conviction that digital platform dynamics will result into a “winner-takes-all” scenario and dominance of global platforms. Practical implications This case study offers practical data and analysis that can be used to create a baseline and evaluate the dynamics of digital platforms in emerging markets. It offers data, trends and evidence on Russia’s digital economy. Social implications This research provides a logical framework to help policymakers take decisions on a policy framework to regulate platforms in emerging markets. The good outcome of competition between local and foreign platforms should emerge as a policy objective to achieve in most emerging markets. Originality/value This case study is the first baseline to assess the dynamics of competition between national and foreign digital platforms in the Russian market. It is one of the first papers to tackle the market of digital platforms in an emerging and developing economy. It tries to address the debate between “winner-takes-all” and “winner-takes some” competition equilibrium through a concrete case study in an important G20 emerging market economy.

Abstract:

AbstractSilicon photonics has been established as a mature and promising technology for optoelectronic integrated circuits, mostly based on the silicon-on-insulator (SOI) waveguide platform. However, not all optical functionalities can be satisfactorily achieved merely based on silicon, in general, and on the SOI platform, in particular. Long-known shortcomings of silicon-based integrated photonics are optical absorption (in the telecommunication wavelengths) and feasibility of electrically-injected lasers (at least at room temperature). More recently, high two-photon and free-carrier absorptions required at high optical intensities for third-order optical nonlinear effects, inherent lack of second-order optical nonlinearity, low extinction ratio of modulators based on the free-carrier plasma effect, and the loss of the buried oxide layer of the SOI waveguides at mid-infrared wavelengths have been recognized as other shortcomings. Accordingly, several novel waveguide platforms have been developing to address these shortcomings of the SOI platform. Most of these emerging platforms are based on heterogeneous integration of other material systems on silicon substrates, and in some cases silicon is integrated on other substrates. Germanium and its binary alloys with silicon, III–V compound semiconductors, silicon nitride, tantalum pentoxide and other high-index dielectric or glass materials, as well as lithium niobate are some of the materials heterogeneously integrated on silicon substrates. The materials are typically integrated by a variety of epitaxial growth, bonding, ion implantation and slicing, etch back, spin-on-glass or other techniques. These wide range of efforts are reviewed here holistically to stress that there is no pure silicon or even group IV photonics per se. Rather, the future of the field of integrated photonics appears to be one of heterogenization, where a variety of different materials and waveguide platforms will be used for different purposes with the common feature of integrating them on a single substrate, most notably silicon.

Abstract:

This study aims to explore the role of e-commerce platforms in facilitating market entry for emerging entrepreneurs, examining the benefits, challenges, and overall impact of these platforms. This qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews with 25 emerging entrepreneurs to gather in-depth insights into their experiences with e-commerce platforms. The interviews focused on various aspects of platform usage, support and resources provided, challenges faced, and the outcomes of utilizing these platforms. Data were analyzed using NVivo software to identify key themes and subthemes, with theoretical saturation guiding the data collection process. Five main themes emerged from the data analysis: (1) E-commerce Platform Usage, encompassing platform selection, initial setup, features and tools, user experience, and integration with other systems; (2) Support and Resources, including educational resources, financial support, technical assistance, marketing support, and networking opportunities; (3) Challenges and Barriers, such as technical issues, financial barriers, competition, and regulatory issues; (4) Outcomes and Impact, highlighting business growth, market access, brand development, and diversified revenue streams; and (5) Entrepreneurial Experience, covering the learning curve, work-life balance, community support, motivation and goals, and adaptability. E-commerce platforms play a crucial role in enabling market entry and supporting business growth for emerging entrepreneurs. These platforms provide essential infrastructure, tools, and resources that simplify business operations and enhance market reach. However, entrepreneurs face challenges related to technical issues, financial constraints, competition, and regulatory complexities.

Abstract:

Global online platforms match firms with service providers around the world, in services ranging from software development to copywriting and graphic design. Unlike in traditional offshore outsourcing, service providers are predominantly one-person microproviders located in emerging-economy countries not necessarily associated with offshoring and often disadvantaged by negative country images. How do these microproviders survive and thrive? We theorize global platforms through transaction cost economics (TCE), arguing that they are a new technology-enabled offshoring institution that emerges in response to cross-border information asymmetries that hitherto prevented microproviders from participating in offshoring markets. To explain how platforms achieve this, we adapt signaling theory to a TCE-based model and test our hypotheses by analyzing 6 months of transaction records from a leading platform. To help interpret the results and generalize them beyond a single platform, we introduce supplementary data from 107 face-to-face interviews with microproviders in Southeast Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Individuals choose microprovidership when it provides a better return on their skills and labor than employment at a local (offshoring) firm. The platform acts as a signaling environment that allows microproviders to inform foreign clients of their quality, with platform-generated signals being the most informative signaling type. Platform signaling disproportionately benefits emerging-economy providers, allowing them to partly overcome the effects of negative country images and thus diminishing the importance of home country institutions. Global platforms in other factor and product markets likely promote cross-border microbusiness through similar mechanisms.

Abstract:

This paper explores the evolving landscape of influencer marketing as brands extend beyond Instagram to platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and other emerging social media channels. As consumers increasingly seek authenticity, brands turn to platforms that foster community, creativity, and engagement to better connect with target audiences. This research examines each platforms unique attributes and audience behaviors, with particular emphasis on TikToks short-form, viral content appeal, and Twitchs community-centered, live-streaming interactions. Case studies of successful brand campaigns, such as Chipotles #GuacDance on TikTok and Nikes Twitch collaborations, demonstrate the adaptability of influencer marketing strategies across platforms. By diversifying their approach and embracing platform-specific strategy, brands can not only boost engagement but also cultivate deeper consumer loyalty. This paper provides actionable insights for brands seeking to leverage the dynamics of each platform to amplify their reach and resonate authentically with audiences in an increasingly fragmented digital ecosystem.

Abstract:

This paper aims to examine what factor relevancy influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms in Thailand. Further, it investigates consumers' behavior during the covid-19 pandemic. A questionnaire was used to examine a sample of 400 Thai consumers who were using online food delivery platforms. Collected data were analyzed using a statistical package program in 3 steps: Confirmatory factor analysis, path analysis, structural equation model analysis (SEM). Thai consumers increasingly used food delivery on online platforms during the covid-19 epidemic. The study also found that the platform's ease of use, the food delivery service fees, offers or privileges, and payment security on online food delivery platforms influenced consumers’ future use of online food delivery platforms. The food delivery service fees are the most influential factor in using online food delivery platforms. Future research can explore the role of using online food delivery platforms and their impact on the online food delivery platforms. Online food delivery platform providers should lower their service fees, always be implementing new promotions, provide various coupon codes, and create games so that consumers can win prizes. The online food delivery platform providers need to develop consumer trust, ensure that payments are secure, and enhance the ease of use of their platforms. This study contributes to the emerging literature related to online food delivery platforms by studying the relevancy factor that influences consumers’ preference to use online food delivery platforms, which are critical for the success of any online food delivery platform provider.

Abstract:

Disruptive technology platforms from emerging companies hold great promise for exploiting innovation, but often face legitimacy hurdles due to their liability of newness. Nascent firms must learn new roles with limited precedent, and establish ties with an environment that may not fully understand or value their existence. Using a legitimacy-based lens in the context of the biotechnology industry, we posit a sequential construct — cognitive, regulative, and normative legitimacy — to evaluate emergent technology platforms. Our model of biotechnology platform emergence may provide insights for understanding how breakthroughs achieve legitimacy in the scientific community, mobilize resources and talent, and attain commercial success.

Abstract:

The adoption of blockchain platforms to bolster the security of Internet of Things (IoT) systems has attracted significant attention in recent years. Currently, there is a lack of comprehensive and systematic survey papers in the literature addressing these platforms. This paper discusses six of the most popular emerging blockchain platforms adopted by IoT systems and analyses their usage in state-of-the-art works to solve security problems. The platform was compared in terms of security features and other requirements. Findings from the study reveal that most blockchain components contribute directly or indirectly to IoT security. Blockchain platform components such as cryptography, consensus mechanism, and hashing are common ways that security is achieved in all blockchain platform for IoT. Technologies like Interplanetary File System (IPFS) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) can further enhance data and communication security when used alongside blockchain. To enhance the applicability of blockchain in resource-constrained IoT environments, future research should focus on refining cryptographic algorithms and consensus mechanisms to optimise performance and security.

International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications 26, no. 4 (2012): 413–30. http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1094342012452893.

Abstract:

Graph matching is a prototypical combinatorial problem with many applications in high-performance scientific computing. Optimal algorithms for computing matchings are challenging to parallelize. Approximation algorithms are amenable to parallelization and are therefore important to compute matchings for large-scale problems. Approximation algorithms also generate nearly optimal solutions that are sufficient for many applications. In this paper we present multithreaded algorithms for computing half-approximate weighted matching on state-of-the-art multicore (Intel Nehalem and AMD Magny-Cours), manycore (Nvidia Tesla and Nvidia Fermi), and massively multithreaded (Cray XMT) platforms. We provide two implementations: the first uses shared work queues and is suited for all platforms; and the second implementation, based on dataflow principles, exploits special features available on the Cray XMT. Using a carefully chosen dataset that exhibits characteristics from a wide range of applications, we show scalable performance across different platforms. In particular, for one instance of the input, an R-MAT graph (RMAT-G), we show speedups of about [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] cores of an AMD Magny-Cours, [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] cores of Intel Nehalem, [Formula: see text] on Nvidia Tesla and [Formula: see text] on Nvidia Fermi relative to one core of Intel Nehalem, and [Formula: see text] on [Formula: see text] processors of Cray XMT. We demonstrate strong as well as weak scaling for graphs with up to a billion edges using up to 12,800 threads. We avoid excessive fine-tuning for each platform and retain the basic structure of the algorithm uniformly across platforms. An exception is the dataflow algorithm designed specifically for the Cray XMT. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first such large-scale study of the half-approximate weighted matching problem on multithreaded platforms. Driven by the critical enabling role of combinatorial algorithms such as matching in scientific computing and the emergence of informatics applications, there is a growing demand to support irregular computations on current and future computing platforms. In this context, we evaluate the capability of emerging multithreaded platforms to tolerate latency induced by irregular memory access patterns, and to support fine-grained parallelism via light-weight synchronization mechanisms. By contrasting the architectural features of these platforms against the Cray XMT, which is specifically designed to support irregular memory-intensive applications, we delineate the impact of these choices on performance.

Abstract:

AbstractInterdisciplinarity is widely considered necessary to solving many contemporary problems, and new funding structures and instruments have been created to encourage interdisciplinary research at universities. In this article, we study a small technical university specializing in green technology which implemented a strategy aimed at promoting and developing interdisciplinary collaboration. It did so by reallocating its internal research funds for at least five years to “research platforms” that required researchers from at least two of the three schools within the university to participate. Using data from semi-structured interviews from researchers in three of these platforms, we identify specific tensions that the strategy has generated in this case: (1) in the allocation of platform resources, (2) in the division of labor and disciplinary relations, (3) in choices over scientific output and academic careers. We further show how the particular platform format exacerbates the identified tensions in our case. We suggest that certain features of the current platform policy incentivize shallow interdisciplinary interactions, highlighting potential limits on the value of attempting to push for interdisciplinarity through internal funding.

Abstract:

With the emerging digital platform economy, consumption activities are increasingly integrated in the production process of service platforms, and the development of e-commerce platforms shows a new realm for solving sustainability issues such as resource wasting and urban pollution. This paper investigates the service value co-creation processes in the digital platform context and recognizes the service value output categories under different stages among platform business, platform buyers, and sellers. Using an emergent and representative digital platform, the Xianyu idle trading platform, and adopting an embedded case study design and social media analysis approach, this paper illustrates the service value co-creation practices and value categories among users in each stage of purchase. We find that platform business not only facilitates value co-creations but is also an active participant. This study contributes to both value co-creation and platform business literature, and it sheds light on achieving sustainability in the platform economy and moving toward an environmentally friendly society.

Abstract:

Competition between China's e-commerce platforms is becoming more and more intense, with many companies trying to enter the market for a share of the pie. As an emerging social platform, XiaoHongShu has already achieved great success in e-commerce and is now one of the most popular social media platforms in China. In this paper, we applied the Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning (STP) theory to analyze the marketing strategy of XiaoHongShu in the Internet era. Our analysis of this platform is about its strategy for market segmentation. Its clear that this platform has a great understanding of its special market, i.e. female market. Then we examine this platform's precise scanning to find young women as its target consumer. This platform uses its social media advantage to connect its consumers and uses big data to find everyone's needs and hobbies. Last but not least, this paper analyses the market positioning, that is, the content community of XiaoHongShu.

Abstract:

The article tackles the question of platform capitalism within the framework of a general understanding of the specificity of modern and contemporary capitalism. Digital platforms, which are emerging among the winners from the current pandemic crisis, facilitate processes of capital accumulation, blur the boundaries between politics and economics, and embody a new type of firm. An emphasis is placed on the infrastructural roles performed by platforms, as well as on their ability to reshape existing spaces and produce new ones. In the last section, the authors describe emerging figures of “algorithmic subjectivities” and contend that an effective critique of platform capitalism, whose operations are predicated upon those figures, should take their movements and struggles as its point of departure.

Abstract:

In this article, we develop the concept of “transplatform” to contribute to platform studies. We analyze the rivalry between the Atari Video Computer System (VCS)—the best-known member of the “second generation” of home videogame consoles—and Intellivision, which was the Atari VCS’s key competitor for most of this period. Through this analysis, we hope to provide conceptual tools for rethinking the notions of platform, culture, and context in platform studies. In particular, we seek to link the two main ways platforms are currently understood—“computing platforms” like the Atari VCS or Flash and “social platforms” like FaceBook or YouTube. Online sociality is increasingly “platform sociality” in some form. Understanding platforms not just in “context,” but as shaped by rivalries not ontologically subsequent to the platforms themselves, is vital to responding to these emerging formations.

AbstractRare-earth dopants are arguably one of the most studied optical centers in solids, with applications spanning from laser optoelectronics, biosensing, lighting to displays. Nevertheless, harnessing rare-earth dopants’ extraordinary coherence properties for quantum information technologies is a relatively new endeavor, and has been rapidly advancing in recent years. Leveraging the state-of-the-art photonic technologies, on-chip rare-earth quantum devices functioning as quantum memories, single photon sources and transducers have emerged, often with potential performances unrivaled by other solid-state quantum technologies. These existing quantum devices, however, nearly exclusively rely on macroscopic bulk materials as substrates, which may limit future scalability and functionalities of such quantum systems. Thus, the development of new platforms beyond single crystal bulk materials has become an interesting approach. In this review article, we summarize the latest progress towards nanoscale, low-dimensional rare-earth doped materials for enabling next generation rare-earth quantum devices. Different platforms with a variety of synthesis methods are surveyed. Their key metrics measured to date are presented and compared. Special attention is placed on the connection between the topology of each platform to its target device applications. Lastly, an outlook for near term prospects of these platforms are given, with a hope to spur broader interests in rare-earth doped materials as a promising candidate for quantum information technologies.

Abstract:

Due to the rising appeal of travel, as well as the appearance of low-cost carriers that fly to both popular and exotic destinations, people nowadays tend to book their accommodation through the more convenient and flexible sharing economy platforms. The success of such platforms among consumers depends on various factors, such as satisfaction and platform credibility, and on sustainable performance among contributors, increasing their relevance and visibility. This research proposes a conceptual model for measuring the success of sharing economy platforms in tourism, based on added value, unique experience, and enhanced social interactions, together with credibility and sustainable performance. In this vein, the authors conduct an empirical investigation in an emerging market—Romania—where the development of such sharing economy platforms is still in its infancy. Data gathered by the authors by means of a self-developed questionnaire distributed to 500 respondents are modelled via structural equations with SmartPLS. The results indicate that the platform credibility and sustainable performance of sharing economy platforms are key elements in generating their success. The research adds value to the stimulus–organism–response approach, highlighting some insights from a relevant emerging market, which in the future could become a turning point for inbound and outbound tourism.

Abstract:

Increasingly, alternative platforms are playing a key role in the social media ecosystem. Koo, a microblogging platform based in India, has emerged as a major new social network hosting high profile politicians from several countries (India, Brazil, Nigeria) and many internationally renowned celebrities. This paper presents the largest publicly available Koo dataset, spanning from the platform’s founding in early 2020 to September 2023, providing detailed metadata for 72M posts, 75M comments, 40M shares, 284M likes and 1.4M user profiles. Along with the release of the dataset, we provide an overview of the platform including a discussion of the news ecosystem on the platform, hashtag usage, and user engagement. Our results highlight the pivotal role that new platforms play in shaping online communities in emerging economies and the Global South, connecting local politicians and public figures with their followers. With Koo’s ambition to become the town hall for diverse non-English speaking communities, our dataset offers new opportunities for studying social media beyond a Western context.

Abstract:

The sharing economy has allowed idle resources to be used again and is known as a model for the new economy. Advances in network technology have allowed the scale of the sharing economy to be expanded through digital platforms. To our best knowledge, no studies in the literature have explored a pet boarding platform for the sharing economy. This research selected the emerging pet care industry as its scope and took the Rover.com pet boarding digital platform, with the highest market share in the world, as the research object for an intensive case study. Three types of secondary data analysis were used: industry profile analysis, case information, and papers and journals. The business model and value proposition of the platform summarizes the key to the success of digital platforms, which is expected to be helpful to entrepreneurs who want to create a sharing economy marketplace. The research results showed that the sharing economy needs to use digital platforms as a matching intermediary between supply and demand to establish a personal-to-personal transaction pattern and it also needs digital platforms to establish a sense of trust and a guarantee mechanism for participants in the sharing economy. For the digital platform to be profitable, it must identify the platform’s unique value proposition and business model, and set up monitoring of transaction parties and evaluation functions, as well as insurance systems and digital platform IT support.

Abstract:

Building on an emerging literature concerning algorithmic management, this article analyzes the processes by which food delivery platforms control workers and uncovers variation in the extent to which such platforms constrain the freedoms—over schedules and activities—associated with gig work. Drawing on in-depth interviews with 55 respondents working on food delivery platforms, as well as a survey of 955 platform food delivery workers, we find that although all of the food delivery platforms use algorithmic management to assign and evaluate work, there is significant cross-platform variation. Instacart, the largest grocery delivery platform, exerts a type of control we call “algorithmic despotism,” regulating the time and activities of workers more stringently than other platform delivery companies. We conclude with a discussion of the implications of the spectrum of algorithmic control for the future of work.

Abstract:

The current study examined relationships between different types of social media platforms used and psychological functioning in a diverse, national U.S. sample of emerging adults (18–22 years). Participants completed surveys online in the spring of 2014. Findings from a path analysis model suggested that individuals who used a higher number of different social media platforms reported more anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, total alcohol consumption, and drug use. Facebook use was associated uniquely with depressive symptoms and Snapchat use with substance use. Neither Instagram use nor Twitter use was associated with any measures of psychological functioning. Gender differences also were not observed. Findings highlight the importance of considering the number of different social media platforms used, as well as the specific platform itself, when conceptualizing the relationship between social media use and psychological functioning in emerging adults.

Abstract:

Experimental control over progenitor cell lineage specification can be achieved by modulating properties of the cell's microenvironment. These include physical properties of the cell adhesion substrate, such as rigidity, topography and deformation owing to dynamic mechanical forces. Multipotent mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) generate contractile forces to sense and remodel their extracellular microenvironments and thereby obtain information that directs broad aspects of MSC function, including lineage specification. Various physical factors are important regulators of MSC function, but improved understanding of MSC mechanobiology requires novel experimental platforms. Engineers are bridging this gap by developing tools to control mechanical factors with improved precision and throughput, thereby enabling biological investigation of mechanics-driven MSC function. In this review, we introduce MSC mechanobiology and review emerging cell culture platforms that enable new insights into mechanobiological control of MSCs. Our main goals are to provide engineers and microtechnology developers with an up-to-date description of MSC mechanobiology that is relevant to the design of experimental platforms and to introduce biologists to these emerging platforms.

Abstract:

Remains of long-gone viral infections are integrated in host-genomes, Endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) now serves as a novel platform for the creation of vaccines to combat emerging pathogens. To highlight the immense potential of ERV as a next-generation vaccination platform, this review examines the root causes, advantages and challenges ERVs in vaccine development. Leveraging, viral-like elements including RNA intermediates, and envelope proteins (Env), ERVbased vaccine platforms depend on their intrinsic immunogenicity to recreate the natural viral infections and evoke powerful innate and adaptive immune reactions. Their self-adjuvant peculiarity ease vaccine formulations by eliminating the need for exogenous adjuvants. Preclinical studies on influenza and Zebrafish model have demonstrated that ERVs are diverse in their capability to target various pathogens. However, there are several challenges that ERV-vaccine platforms have to overcome. Some of them are, the likelihood of genomic instability, immunity tolerance and offtarget immune reactions. Its developments and applications are further exacerbated by regulatory barriers and production complexity. Despite these challenges, advancements in antigen-design and genetic engineering are continuing to improving the effectiveness and safety of ERV-based vaccinations.

Abstract:

Recent advances in artificial intelligence have revolutionized brand protection in digital spaces, yet a systematic comparison of platform-specific approaches remains understudied. This article evaluates AI-based image recognition systems across major digital platforms, revealing key differences in their technological architectures and detection capabilities. Our analysis demonstrates that while convolutional neural networks form the backbone of these systems, platform-specific adaptations significantly impact their effectiveness. We found that e-commerce platforms achieve 94% accuracy in counterfeit detection through specialized deep learning models, while social media platforms prioritize real-time processing with lightweight architectures at 87% accuracy. These findings provide crucial insights for organizations implementing brand protection strategies and highlight emerging opportunities for cross-platform standardization.

Abstract:

Various vaccine platforms, including emerging platforms, have been applied in the development of COVID-19 vaccines. Biotechnology startups often lead the development of new medical technologies, whereas major pharmaceutical companies and public institutions have long contributed to vaccine development. In this study, vaccine platforms and developers involved in COVID-19 vaccine development were analyzed, elucidating the trends of vaccine platforms used, the country distribution of the developers, and differences in the profiles of developers by vaccine platform technologies and country. The analysis revealed that conventional, established, and emerging vaccine platforms have been widely used and that older platforms are more advanced in clinical development. It also demonstrated the emergence of China, in addition to the U.S., while many pharmerging countries have been engaged in development. Startups have significantly contributed to the development of viral vector and RNA-based vaccines, suggesting their important role in the application of novel technologies. The major developers differ by country and region. Alliances, including international collaborations, have progressed in late clinical development. Based on these results, future perspectives of pandemic vaccine development and implications for policy and corporate strategies are discussed.

Abstract:

The development of electrochemical technologies is becoming increasingly important due to their growing part in renewable energy conversion and storage. Within this context, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) are finding an important role as electrocatalysts. Specifically, their molecularly defined structure across several lengths scales endows them functionality not accessible with conventional heterogeneous catalysts. To this end, this perspective will focus on the unique features within MOFs and their analogs that enable them to carry out electrocatalytic reactions in unique ways to synthesize fuels and value-added chemicals from abundant building blocks like CO2 and N2. We start with a brief overview of the initial advent of MOF electrocatalysts prior to moving to overview the forefront of the field of MOF-based electrosynthesis. The main discussion focuses on three principal directions in MOF-based electrosynthesis: multifunctional active sites, electronic modulation, and catalytic microenvironments. To conclude, we identify several challenges in the next stage of MOF electrocatalyst development and offer several key directions to take as the field matures.

Abstract:

The aggregation of ride-sharing platforms has forced traditional ride-sharing platforms to decide whether to join or leave these emerging platforms. This study presents a stylized model analyzing the demand, supply, and profit of two self-operated platforms, C2C platforms (such as DiDi and Uber) and B2C platforms, considering aggregation platform awareness and commissions. The study investigates the conditions under which the self-operated platforms should employ the entry strategy based on the optimization method and Cournot game theory, as well as exploring the reasons why self-operated platforms choose to withdraw after joining. The results show that in order to avoid competition, B2C platforms adopt an entry strategy, while C2C platforms adopt a non-entry strategy. Only during the off-peak period, when the awareness of the aggregation platform is very high and the level of competition between the two types of platforms is very intense, will both types of platforms adopt an entry strategy, but C2C platforms may experience a significant loss of market share, leading to a decline in social welfare. Furthermore, even if the self-operated platform chooses to withdraw, social welfare will still increase if the two self-operated platforms adopt the best strategy. The study contributes to sustainable development by promoting efficient resource allocation, reducing redundant competition, and improving overall market efficiency, thereby fostering a more sustainable urban transportation system.
