Abstract:
Cost-effective contract negotiation is a critical component in managing international oil and gas projects, where financial efficiency and operational reliability are paramount. The complexity of these projects, which often involve cross-border transactions, diverse stakeholders, and fluctuating market conditions, requires a strategic approach to negotiation. This review highlights key strategies for ensuring cost-effective contract negotiations in the sector. First, a focus on risk-sharing mechanisms allows parties to mitigate uncertainties related to oil price volatility, geopolitical risks,

This article describes a computer system being developed to support two-party negotiation. It is currently used for classroom instruction; eventually it could be used by one and/or both parties in real-world negotiation situations. In using the software, the negotiator enters his/her weights for each issue, function forms, and estimates of the partner's importance weightings. The system will then generate a graph depicting the utility for each side of all possible negotiation agreements.

A Smart Contract (SC) is a digital negotiation process between two or more anonymized participants without trusted middlemen. It is an autonomous SC manifested as software code. SC operates on the blockchain (BC). The program and the SC are immutable and preserved on a decentralized public registry. Many potential applications for SC exist within the digital economy, encompassing financial services, administration, medical care, and the Internet of Things (IoT). Ethereum and Hyperledger constitute the most prevalent open-source advanced cross-industry BC systems for cross-border collaboration.

Abstract:
This paper compares actual (A-type) software processes at work in flight simulation, one example of a software-intensive complex product system, with ideal, rational (B-type) processes as contained in company manuals, tools and procedures. The aim is to identify the causes and consequences of divergencies between A- and B-type processes in a complex product, and to draw implications for theory and practice. The paper also develops a simple partial model to show what A-type processes actually "look like" in practice. The evidence indicates that in response to industrial turbulence, uncertainty,

This study aimed to contrast metadiscourse use across languages in abstracts in the field of Soil Science. Three corpora were compared: abstracts published in Spanish by Spanish speakers; abstracts published in English by Spanish speakers; and abstracts published in English by English speakers. Metadiscourse occurrences were qualitatively coded using computer-assisted qualitative data analysis software and interpreted in relation to independent variables language of publication, writers’ dominant language, and abstract rhetorical structure.

Abstract:
Wheel profiles in different abrasion stages are tracked and measured for locomotives SS4. They are then matched with rail profiles in the measured wear stability period. In order to contrast the wheel profiles in different abrasion stages, multi-body dynamic software named SIMPACK is adapted to set up a complete dynamics model of locomotives. The influence of wheel profiles in different abrasion stages on the dynamic performances of locomotives is simulated and analyzed. Analysis results state that locomotives using the wheel profiles of typeII have the good stability for their line operation.

Abstract:
This study investigates the role of power dynamics in market control within supplier-buyer relationships, with a specific focus on blockchain technology adoption in supply chain networks. Using five focus group discussions, comprising of diverse participants categorized by sector, location, gender, and company size, the research explores how power influences decision-making processes. Findings reveal that larger companies often prioritize stability over innovation, limiting their willingness to adopt disruptive technologies like blockchain. In contrast, smaller firms demonstrate greater flexib

Abstract:
In order to promote children’s collaborative musical creativity in new digital environments, we need a better understanding not only of the sound production capabilities provided by the new digital tools, but also of the interaction affordances involved. This study focuses on the interactional patterns emerging in children’s musical creativity, comparing creative group processes on iPad tablet computers (with GarageBand software) to processes on traditional musical instruments. Both instrumentations were assigned to five groups of four 10–12-year-olds for creating sound landscapes for a “space

Process integrated mechanisms (PIM) offer a new approach to the problem of coordinating the activity of physically distributed systems or devices. Current approaches to coordination all have well-recognized strengths and weaknesses. We propose a novel architecture to add to the mix, called the Process Integrated Mechanism (PIM), which enjoys the advantages of having a single controlling authority while avoiding the structural difficulties that have traditionally led to its rejection in many complex settings. In many situations, PIMs improve on previous models with regard to coordination, secur

Abstract:
Among the Agìkūyū of Kenya, motherhood is a deeply ingrained cultural expectation, with childlessness—whether involuntary due to infertility or voluntary by choice—often leading to stigma, social exclusion, and even domestic violence or marital breakdown. Traditionally, a woman’s value has been closely tied to her ability to bear children, a belief further reinforced by the practice of rūraacio (bride wealth), which presumes fertility as part of the marital contract. The failure to conceive is frequently viewed as a violation of this expectation, exposing women to emotional and social vulnerab
