Alignment Control of Ferrite-Decorated Nanocarbon Material for 3D Printing.

This paper demonstrates the potential of anisotropic 3D printing for alignable carbon nanomaterials. The ferrite-decorated nanocarbon material was synthesized via a sodium solvation process using epichlorohydrin as the coupling agent. Employing a one-pot synthesis approach, the novel material was incorporated into a 3D photopolymer, manipulated, and printed using a low-cost microscale 3D printer, equipped with digital micromirror lithography, monitoring optics, and magnetic actuators.

Improving the Sustainable Usage Intention of Mobile Payments: Extended Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology Model Combined With the Information System Success Model and Initial Trust Model.

Under the background of global cross-border mobile commerce (m-commerce) integration, the importance of cross-border payment research is becoming increasingly prominent and urgent. The important value of this study is to empirically research the influence power of key elements in using two different mobile payment (m-payment) platforms in Korea. The extended unified theory of acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT2) has been widely applied in various studies because of its strong interpretive power.

Development and Validity Test of Social Attachment Multidimensional Scale.

Social attachment can explain well the bond between users and social media, but existing research lacks measures of social attachment scales. To this end, this study takes attachment theory as the basis for scale development. On the basis of the development of multidimensional scales for adult, brand, and local attachment, it combines existing relevant studies on social attachment, selects three representative social media such as TikTok, WeChat, and MicroBlog as theoretical samples, explores the concept and structure of social attachment, and develops a social attachment scale through qualitative interviews and open-ended questionnaires.

The Effect of CEO on Bank Efficiency: Evidence From Private Commercial Banks.

The main purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Key attributes on the financial performance of banks. Current literature gives little attention to the important characteristics of CEOs, therefore, this paper investigates the effects of characteristics of CEOs, such as education, experience, nationality, military background (MTB), and political connectedness (PC), on the financial (return on assets) performance of listed private commercial banks in Pakistan. This research sample included 20 private commercial banks of Pakistan and used Secondary data that was derived from 2011 to 2020, which contained 200 sample observations.
