Local population changes as a spatial varying multiscale process: The Italian case
Authors: Benassi Federico , Mucciardi Massimo , Gallo Gerardo
Published: February 2023

The population dynamics in Italy show a strong spatial heterogeneity within a framework of persistent demographic territorial disparities. From a local point of view, it is necessary to understand what demographic determinants govern this process. In the paper, we model the population change according to a local (i.e., spatial varying coefficients) multiscale approach. To this aim, local demographic growth rates of each Italian municipality for the period 2011 – 2019 were estimated and modeled by means of a classic a-spatial global model (i.e., ordinary least-square), and a multiscale geographically weighted regression. The multiscale dimensions of local population changes are therefore analyzed by means of three sub-dimensions: Level of influence, scalability, and specificity. The results show that the determinants of local population changes are not spatially constant and that they vary in their effect at different geographical scales.
Processing personal health data in the context of the European online pharmacy market: lawful bases under the GDPR and Swedish law.
Authors: Fåhraeus David
Published: February 2023

Over the past three years, the European online pharmacy market has grown significantly and is expected to continue to grow at a rapid pace. One of the key factors that may further catalyse this growth is the personal health data that online pharmacies can collect.  If online pharmacies use these data lawfully and with the public interest in mind, this may provide the opportunity to positively transform not only the online pharmacy market but also the entire healthcare industry. In order to maximise the benefits of these personal health data for improving public health but at the same time protect European citizens’ privacy, further analysis of the data protection laws and their applicability in the context of the online pharmacy market is necessary. Currently, there still lacks clarity, for example, regarding the lawful bases under the GDPR for processing personal health data for scientific research purposes. Therefore, this article identifies the main purposes for which online pharmacies may choose to process personal health data and which lawful bases under the GDPR may be suitable to address them. This article will additionally address Swedish law in order to provide an example of the interaction between national laws and the GDPR when processing personal health data in the online pharmacy market.

Aim: Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability worldwide. Plasma biomarkers have long been used to evaluate physiological or pathological processes and to make predictions about the outcome of stroke patients. The current systematic review is focused on genetic plasma biomarkers as a new potential prognostic indicator for post-stroke recovery. The aim of the present systematic review is to assess the potential of genetic plasma biomarkers associated with stroke to predict post-stroke recovery.
Methods: The search strategy used PubMed and Web of Science databases to identified 166 studies that investigated genetic plasma biomarkers in patients with stroke between 2017 and 2021. However, only 21 of them met the inclusion criteria.
Results: The identified genetic biomarkers can be divided into: (i) serum/plasma circular RNA (circRNA) associated with stroke onset or recurrence (5; 23.80%), (ii) genetic polymorphisms associated with the atherosclerotic process and stroke recurrence (6; 28.57%), (iii) serum/plasma long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) levels involved in immunity/inflammatory processes (4; 19.04%), (iv) marker of DNA methylation associated with stroke onset and outcome (3; 14.28%), and (v) proteins and pathways of stroke identified by serum/ plasma proteomics/genomics analysis (3; 14.28%).
Conclusions: Overall, more than 100 potential biomarkers were found and the data suggest that combinations of plasma genetic biomarkers might be used as a better predictor for stroke.

A New Book on the History of Individual Political Terror During the Civil War in Russia
Authors:   Northern (Arctic) Federal University named after M.V. Lomonosov, Goldin Vladislav I. , Suslov Aleksey Yu. ,   Kazan National Research Technological University
Published: February 2023

This article analyses the modern historiography of individual political terror in Russia during the Civil War in 1918. The role and significance of the terrorist acts of the summer of 1918 for the formation of Soviet penal policy are emphasized. There is a long historiographical tradition concerning these topics, which is based, on the one hand, on the traditional Soviet version, originating in the famous 1922 trial of the leaders of the Socialist Revolutionary Party, and, on the other hand, on alternative interpretations that were, at some point, presented in émigré and foreign historical literature. The focus of attention is the work of the famous Russian historian, Honoured Professor of Kazan University A.L. Litvin, who studies the assassination attempts on Vladimir Lenin in 1918. In addition, the paper touches upon various aspects related to the assassinations of V. Volodarsky and M.S. Uritsky. The authors examine the works of historian K.N. Morozov devoted to various aspects of the 1918 assassination attempts and the role of B.V. Savinkov and F. Kaplan in them. The publications of I.S. Ratkovsky and A.V. Shubin are noted. It is concluded that modern historical literature contains various assessments of those events: the assassins had personal but no direct political motives (A.L. Litvin); B.V. Savinkov’s organization was linked to the terrorist acts against V.I. Lenin and M. Uritsky in 1918 (K.N. Morozov). In addition, the article studies sources that have recently been introduced into scholarly discourse; it is noted that the current level of knowledge is insufficient for scholars to make final conclusions and thus calls for further research.
Language Nomination and the Problem of Its Onomasiological Research
Authors:   Adyghe State University, Sapieva Saida K.
Published: February 2023

The problem of language nomination in modern science does not cease to arouse great interest, since it is associated with such important processes of human activity as cognition and communication. Naming objects, phenomena and properties of the surrounding world both in the form of lexical units and in speech structures, actualizing the informative and semantic side of the object, is extremely important for cognitive science, cultural linguistics, ontology, semasiology, psycholinguistics, sociolinguistics, etc. The study of nomination as a process of naming objects of the world around us and its results involves clarifying the following issues: the choice of naming units, their relationship in the language system, determination of criteria by which these units can be attributed to naming units, as well as semantic and functional features of various types of nomination. The study of secondary nomination as a process and result of linguistic, speech and mental, and cultural activity in denoting objects of the real world through linguistic means becomes especially relevant. The onomasiological approach to the study of language units and the inductive analysis of their research today allows us to describe these units not only in the language system, but also at the level of speech and discourse. The scientific paradigm shift determines the relevance and new ways of studying this linguistic phenomenon, which is explained by its exceptional complexity, the essence of which lies in the search for a language expression, varying from simple to global. Considering the essence of nomination as well as its types and features is important for further determination of the specifics of linguistic signs, since the formation and selection of new names and fixation of the most appropriate naming units in the language is a never-ending process, permeating all spheres of human communication.

THE RITUAL CULINARY LEXIS RELATED TO THE BIRTH OF A CHILD IN THE BULGARIAN DIALECTS (SEMANTICS AND MOTIVATION)
Authors: Koteva Margarita
Published: February 2023

The paper presents ritual culinary lexis related to the ritual of childbirth from the Bulgarian dialects. In the ethnocultural aspect, the motivational sign of the names that underlie the nomination are studied, and according to which they are classified into separate groups. Ethnographic material is of particular importance in determining the motivational sign of the names, although there are terms in which it would be very difficult to determine the motivating word even in the context of the whole ritual. In each group the culinary terms are presented with their meanings and distribution in the Bulgarian language territory. The material is excerpted from the "Archive for Bulgarian Dialect Dictionary" at the Institute for Bulgarian Language "Prof. Lyubomir Andreychin" - BAS, "Bulgarian etymological dictionary", from field work and other written dialect sources. The semantics of the names is analyzed in the context of the birth rite with which it is directly related. Some changes in the semantic structure of the names, unfolded in diachrony, are pointed out. They have changed their meaning and have gradually changed from specialized names to commonly used words. The aim is to show the close connection between rituals and ritual lexis and the need to study this lexis from both linguistic and cultural point of view, as a significant part of the terms are motivated by the names of rituals and ritual realities.
STUDY HABITS IN RELATION TO DIFFERENT BIRTH ORDINAL POSITIONS AMONGST THE UNDERGRADUATE STUDENTS
Authors: Deka Pratisha Padmasri , Sarma Phunu Das
Published: February 2023

Present study focuses on finding out the relationship between study habits a student develops during undergraduate level and role of his/her birth ordinal position in choosing a particular type of study habit. To fulfill this objective Study Habit Inventory Scale (SHI-PS) developed by M. N. Palsane and Anuradha Sharma was applied on a sample group of 100 students belonging to different birth ordinal positions. Students learn as per own individuality. Some like to study during day time, some night time, some while listening music while some in pin dropped silence. Study habit is an action such as reading, taking notes, holding study groups which the students perform regularly and habitually in order to accomplish the task of learning. It is same as other forms of habit we develop to fulfill certain needs such as waking up early for office or school, walking for fitness. As development of other forms of habits depends on gender, family circumstances and facilities received at home there is a possibility that birth ordinal positions, type of family can act as a factor in determining type of study habit adopted. In this paper this probable relation has been questioned and efforts were made to bring forth the truth.

At last, this paper gives way for future academic research to investigate how CSR can assist with tending to the most recent social assumptions for producing shared esteem as a fundamental business objective, which thus might have functional ramifications on the off chance that CSR is carried out in light of this.
STABLE FOREX RATE THROUGH EXPORT PERFORMANCE: SOME LESSONS FROM CHINA
Authors: Deshpande Satyajeet S
Published: February 2023

Global factors like tightening of global financial conditions, soaring crude oil prices and the Ukraine-Russia war have resulted in a considerable depreciation of Indian rupee against the US dollar since the beginning of this year. Government has adopted a few temporary measures to contain the free fall in the value of Indian rupee. However, these measures may not be very effective and tangible in stabilizing the rupee. It is here that India can learn a few important lessons from China. The Chinese Yuan has always been stronger than the Indian rupee with respect to USD. Whereas China has built up its foreign exchange reserves through current account surplus, a relatively large part of India’s foreign exchange reserves comprises volatile foreign portfolio investments. China has obtained this trade surplus mainly through a spectacular export performance on one hand and the development of the domestic capabilities to manufacture the import substitutes on the other. This in turn, has been achieved through developing a strong trade infrastructure (especially the ports), cutting down the rates of tariffs, gaining from the increasing fragmentation of production across countries and managing its inflation effectively.
Four female Khoisan language translators across three centuries of Cape history: a morphogenetic analysis
Authors: Botha Maricel
Published: February 2023

Female translators are highly atypical in South African colonial history. Yet four important female translators appear on the scene who, interestingly, all translated or interpreted into or from Khoesan languages. Therefore, apart from their marginalised position as women, these translators are also linked to marginalised languages. These translators are Krotoa, a Khoe interpreter employed by colonial administrator Jan van Riebeeck, Zara Schmelen, a Nama mission assistant and Bible translator, and Lucy Lloyd and Dorothea Bleek, so-called Bushman researchers and relatives of the famous philologist Wilhelm Bleek. This article is interested in the ways in which the work of these early female translators expressed social conditioning and in the characteristics of their agency within a restrictive social space. The hindering and enabling factors involved in these women’s practice of translation and interpreting is analysed and particular attention is paid to the ideological characteristics of their work. In the analysis of the social characteristics of translation, Margaret Archer’s morphogenetic approach is employed. Archer’s approach involves an investigation of structure, culture and agency and the ways in which these contribute to cycles of social change (morphogenesis) or maintenance (morphostasis). With regard to agency, the analysis is guided by Archer’s terms primary agency (which results from social rank), corporate agency (which results from social organisation) and social actorship (which results from the unification of personal identity with social roles). The research finds that chance and male sanctioning were present in these women’s involvement in translation, but that a strong exercise of agency was present which was personally motivated. Agency involved no organisation, however, and neither sought nor achieved social change. Yet, three of the four translators were able to achieve social actorship, whereby their role as translators was successfully united with their personal identity.
A Large-scale Kinematic Study of Molecular Gas in High-z Cluster Galaxies: Evidence for High Levels of Kinematic Asymmetry

Published: February 2023

We investigate the resolved kinematics of the molecular gas, as traced by the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array in CO (2−1), of 25 cluster member galaxies across three different clusters at a redshift of z ∼ 1.6. This is the first large-scale analysis of the molecular gas kinematics of cluster galaxies at this redshift. By separately estimating the rotation curve of the approaching and receding sides of each galaxy via kinematic modeling, we quantify the difference in total circular velocity to characterize the overall kinematic asymmetry of each galaxy. 3/14 of the galaxies in our sample that we are able to model have similar degrees of asymmetry as that observed in galaxies in the field at similar redshift based on observations of mainly ionized gas. However, this leaves 11/14 galaxies in our sample with significantly higher asymmetry, and some of these galaxies have degrees of asymmetry of up to ∼50 times higher than field galaxies observed at similar redshift. Some of these extreme cases also have one-sided tail-like morphology seen in the molecular gas, supporting a scenario of tidal and/or ram pressure interaction. Such stark differences in the kinematic asymmetry in clusters versus the field suggest the evolutionary influence of dense environments, established as being a major driver of galaxy evolution at low redshift, is also active in the high-redshift universe.
Using Host Galaxy Photometric Redshifts to Improve Cosmological Constraints with Type Ia Supernovae in the LSST Era
Authors: Mitra Ayan , Kessler Richard , More Surhud , Hlozek Renee ,   The LSST Dark Energy Science Collaboration
Published: February 2023

We perform a rigorous cosmology analysis on simulated Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) and evaluate the improvement from including photometric host galaxy redshifts compared to using only the “z
spec” subset with spectroscopic redshifts from the host or SN. We use the Deep Drilling Fields (∼50 deg2) from the Photometric LSST Astronomical Time-Series Classification Challenge (PLAsTiCC) in combination with a low-z sample based on Data Challenge2. The analysis includes light-curve fitting to standardize the SN brightness, a high-statistics simulation to obtain a bias-corrected Hubble diagram, a statistical+systematics covariance matrix including calibration and photo-z uncertainties, and cosmology fitting with a prior from the cosmic microwave background. Compared to using the z
spec subset, including events with SN+host photo-z results in (i) more precise distances for z > 0.5, (ii) a Hubble diagram that extends 0.3 further in redshift, and (iii) a 50% increase in the Dark Energy Task Force figure of merit (FoM) based on the w
0
w

a
CDM model. Analyzing 25 simulated data samples, the average bias on w
0 and w

a
is consistent with zero. The host photo-z systematic of 0.01 reduces FoM by only 2% because (i) most z < 0.5 events are in the z
spec subset, (ii) the combined SN+host photo-z has ×2 smaller bias, and (iii) the anticorrelation between fitted redshift and color self-corrects distance errors. To prepare for analyzing real data, the next SN Ia cosmology analysis with photo-zs should include non–SN Ia contamination and host galaxy misassociations.
Radio Emission of Nearby Early-type Galaxies in the Low and Very Low Radio Luminosity Range
Authors: Wójtowicz Anna , Stawarz Łukasz , Cheung C. C. , Werner Norbert , Rudka Dominik
Published: February 2023

We analyze radio continuum emission of early-type galaxies with dynamical measurements of central supermassive black hole (SMBH) masses and well-characterized large-scale environments, but regardless of the exact level of the nuclear activity. The 1.4 GHz radio fluxes collected with ∼arcmin resolution for 62 nearby targets (distances ≲153 Mpc) correspond to low and very low monochromatic luminosities of L
r ∼ 1035–1041 erg s−1. We quantify possible correlations between the radio properties with the main parameters of SMBHs, host galaxies, and hot gaseous halos, finding a general bimodality in the radio luminosity distribution, with the borderline between radio-bright and radio-dim populations at

. We analyze the far-infrared data for the targets, finding that all radio-bright and over a half of the radio-dim sources are overluminous in radio wavelengths with respect to the far-infrared–radio correlation. High-resolution radio maps reveal that the overwhelming majority of radio-dim sources is unresolved on the arcsecond scale, while the bulk of radio-bright sources display extended jets and lobes of low- and intermediate-power radio galaxies; these jets dominate the radio emission of radio-bright objects. Regarding the origin of the radio emission of radio-dim sources, we discuss two main possibilities. One possibility is the advection-dominated accretion flow model, in which the radio and nuclear X-ray radiative outputs at very low accretion rates are both dominated by unresolved jets. The other possibility is that the radio-dim sources, unlike the radio-bright ones, are characterized by low values of SMBH spins, so that their radio emission is not related to the jets, but instead is due to a combination of star-forming processes and previous nuclear outbursts.
Restaurant Recommendations Based on Multi-Criteria Recommendation Algorithm
Authors: Shambour Qusai Y. , Abualhaj Mosleh M. , Abu-Shareha Ahmad Adel
Published: February 2023

Recent years have witnessed a rapid explosion of online information sources about restaurants, and the selection of an appropriate restaurant has become a tedious and time-consuming task. A number of online platforms allow users to share their experiences by rating restaurants based on more than one criterion, such as food, service, and value. For online users who do not have enough information about suitable restaurants, ratings can be decisive factors when choosing a restaurant. Thus, personalized systems such as recommender systems are needed to infer the preferences of each user and then satisfy those preferences. Specifically, multi-criteria recommender systems can utilize the multi-criteria ratings of users to learn their preferences and suggest the most suitable restaurants for them to explore. Accordingly, this paper proposes an effective multi-criteria recommender algorithm for personalized restaurant recommendations. The proposed Hybrid User-Item based Multi-Criteria Collaborative Filtering algorithm exploits users’ and items’ implicit similarities to eliminate the sparseness of rating information. The experimental results based on three real-word datasets demonstrated the validity of the proposed algorithm concerning prediction accuracy, ranking performance, and prediction coverage, specifically, when dealing with extremely sparse datasets, in relation to other baseline CF-based recommendation algorithms. 
A new lightweight decentralized mitigation solution against Version Number Attacks for IoT Networks 
Authors: Rouissat Mehdi , Belkheir Mohammed , Belkhira Hicham Sid Ahmed , Boukli Hacene Sofiane , Lorenz Pascal , Bouziani Merahi
Published: February 2023

The present work describes a new technique to mitigate the version number attack (VNA), which is classified as one among the known denial of service (DDoS) damaging attacks targeting RPL-based (Routing Protocol for Low Power and Lossy Networks) IoTs networks. Through a VNA, the malicious behavior induces an increase in the control overhead and affects nodes’ ressources in terms of processing and memory, thereby the network availability is directly targeted. The lightweight proposed algorithm is run by each node where the main purpose is to halt the spread of a faked version number over the network and to recover victim nodes. The proposed solution has been implemented and simulated using Cooja under Contiki OS. Simulation results obviously show that our proposed technique promises significant improvements in various measured metrics while optimizing the node resources in terms of processing and memory usage. Compared to the network under attack, the control overhead has been shortened by 83% and the energy consumption has been reduced by 74%. In addition, the packet delivery ratio (PDR) has been improved to reach (99,6%), and the latency has been restored to attain the same value as in the normal case.

Four search algorithms to search for the longest box repetition-free word over a given alphabet are presented, giving an empirical result on the upper bound of the length of these words. A box repetition-free word is a finite word w where any given factor of the form asa, with a ∈ Σ and s ∈ Σ∗, occurs at most once. A maximal box repetition-free word is a box repetition-free word which cannot be extended by appending to it any a ∈ Σ without it ceasing to be repetition free.
New insights into the phylogenetic relationships of Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) and allied taxa in subtribe Reynoutriinae (Polygonaceae)
Authors: Desjardins Stuart D. , Bailey John P. , Zhang Baowei , Zhao Kai , Schwarzacher Trude
Published: February 2023

Japanese knotweed (Reynoutria japonica) is native to East Asia, but has been introduced to the West where it is a noxious invasive weed. Taxonomically, Japanese knotweed is placed within subtribe Reynoutriinae (Polygonaceae), which also contains the austral genus Muehlenbeckia (incl. Homalocladium) and north temperate Fallopia. In the current study, we conducted a phylogenetic analysis using sequence data from six markers, two nuclear (LEAFYi2, ITS) and four plastid (matK, rbcL, rps16-trnK and trnL-trnF) to further resolve the evolutionary relationships within this group, using the widest sampling of in-group taxa to date. The results of this analysis confirmed that subtribe Reynoutriinae is a monophyletic group, characterised by the presence of extra-floral, nectariferous glands at the base of leaf petioles. Within the subtribe, four main clades were identified: Reynoutria, Fallopia sect. Parogonum, Fallopia s.s. (including Fallopia sects. Fallopia and Sarmentosae) and Muehlenbeckia. The Fallopia s.s. and Muehlenbeckia clades are sister to one another, while the Fallopia sect. Parogonum clade is immediately basal to them and Reynoutria basal to all three. Fallopia, as currently circumscribed, is paraphyletic as Muehlenbeckia is nested within it. To resolve this, we propose that species of Fallopia sect. Parogonum should be treated as a new genus, Parogonum (Haraldson) Desjardins & J.P.Bailey, gen. et stat. nov. Within Reynoutria, the allied specific and infraspecific taxa that fall under the name Japanese knotweed s.l. form a monophyletic group and their taxonomic status is discussed.

Theoretical evaluation of the power efficiency of a moored hybrid floating platform for wind and wave energy production in the Greek seas
Authors: Kardakaris Kimon , Konispoliatis Dimitrios N , Soukissian Takvor H
Published: February 2023

In this study, an extreme value analysis of wind and wave parameters is presented for three specific locations in the Greek seas that are known to be advantageous in terms of joint power production (both offshore wind and wave) and bathymetric conditions. The analysis is conducted via the Peak-Over-Threshold method, examining wind speed, significant wave height and peak wave period data from the ERA5 reanalysis dataset. Moreover, a multi-purpose floating platform suitable for offshore energy production is presented, which combines wind and wave energy resources exploitation and can be adequately utilized at the selected locations. The analysis is built to incorporate the solutions of the diffraction, motion-dependent and pressure-dependent radiation problems around the floating structure, along with the mooring line and wind turbine (WT) characteristics. Subsequently, a coupled hydro-aero-elastic analysis was performed in the frequency domain, while a dynamic analysis was conducted in order to evaluate the mooring characteristics. Lastly, offshore wind output and absorbed wave energy values were estimated, and different types of mooring systems were compared in terms of efficiency. It has been concluded that the wind energy capacity factor is higher than 50% in all the examined locations, and by the mooring system comparison, the tension-leg platform (TLP) represents the best-case scenario for wave energy absorption.

Published: February 2023

When the historical development of management is examined, it is seen that every age has created a management and organizational structure suitable for its own conditions. Therefore, today, management and organizational structures are experiencing a digital transformation as a necessity of the age. From this point of view, this study was carried out as a conceptual analysis in order to conceptually examine new terms such as digital management, digital transformation, and digital leader that emerged with digitalization in management structures to explain the change in management structures by comparing them with previous management structures and to eliminate the ambiguities about the concept of digitalization. In addition, another aim of this study is to compile explanations in the literature about the metaverse, which is described as a three-dimensional virtual world, and to evaluate the innovations, opportunities, concerns, and criticisms brought by the metaverse application.

Authors: Das Sibanjan , Bala Pradip Kumar
Published: February 2023

Process mining is a paradigm shift from traditional process understanding methodologies like interviews and surveys to a data-driven understanding of the actual digital processes. It analyzes business processes by applying algorithms to the event data generated by digital systems. The chapter provides insight into various uses of process mining in different social and economic processes, with examples from past works demonstrating how practical process mining is in detecting and mitigating bottlenecks in these sectors. Then the chapter further delves into the details of process mining algorithms, key features, and metrics that can help practitioners and researchers evaluate process mining for their work. It also highlights some data quality issues in the event log that can inhibit obtaining fair results from process models. Additionally, some current limitations and concerns are described for creating awareness and building over the body of knowledge in the process and sequential mining techniques.
Readiness for Implementing an E-Voting System in Ethiopia
Authors: Lessa Lemma , Hailu Mekuria
Published: February 2023

Extant literature revealed that elections conducted in traditional ways mostly result in conflicts. Intending to address such challenges, e-voting technology is being used in some countries to conduct a transparent election. However, the application of this new system encountered different challenges due to a lack of readiness to exploit its value, especially in developing countries contexts. To that end, the readiness of government, citizens, and political parties needs to be assessed before using e-voting as an electoral system. The main purpose of this study is to assess the gaps in the readiness of Ethiopia for e-voting system implementation. A qualitative research method is employed, and a thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The finding revealed that Ethiopia is not ready in terms of information communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, human resources, and legality measures for e-voting technology. Finally, recommendations are forwarded for policymakers and practitioners for action.

Post-Truth Politics as a Threat to Democracy
Authors: Sabastine Kingsley Mbamara
Published: February 2023

Politics has long been associated with mendacity, disinformation, manipulation, and at odd with the truth. In recent times, the term post-truth has been used to further characterise politics, which implies a fresh phenomenon in the conflict between truth and politics. The chapter examines the concept of post-truth and post-truth politics. The chapter argues that the application of post-truth rhetoric in politics implies a novelty in politics and in the relationship between truth and politics, which undermines democracy. It is arguable that post-truth negatively impacts individual ability to discriminate between what is true or false, taking into consideration the volume of disinformation on the one hand and on the other hand the need to make informed decisions and choices without having to consult experts at the critical time that the stakes involved in such decisions and choices are urgent and crucial.

Published: February 2023

This chapter aims to understand how actors create meanings about a firm's business model through sensemaking processes. Actors hold different understandings of a firm's business model and infer different meanings. Business models result from the sensemaking and sensegiving processes that occur and evolve between actors. Business models make the action meaningful and frame the actions of the actors. This chapter builds on a single case study and presents essential characteristics of business model change and managers' sensemaking and sensegiving processes when shaping a business model. The chapter provides insights into how managers make sense of and reshape business models through interaction.
