As the final link in the supply chain, last-mile delivery is a vital connection between upstream supply chain operations and customers. The recent surge in demand for contactless last-mile delivery services has spurred extensive research on parcel lockers. This study systematically reviews the determinants of consumer adoption and experiences with parcel lockers in Vietnam, during the COVID-19 pandemic while considering insights from other countries. The review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. Most of the literature identified reliability, convenience, and security as primary drivers of customer preference for parcel lockers. Additionally, factors such as ease of use, usefulness, service quality, cost, and location were found to predict consumer preference and experience with parcel lockers. This study integrates various theories, including those related to supply chain management, consumer behavior, and technology acceptance, and discusses advanced technologies to provide a comprehensive framework for enhancing smart locker adoption in Vietnam. The empirical findings offer valuable insights for promoting parcel locker adoption, considering co-cultural contexts and technological advancements.

Purpose: To assess the reproducibility of ADC, T1, T2, and proton density (PD) measurements on the cortex across the entire brain using high-resolution pseudo-3D diffusion-weighted imaging using echo-planar imaging with compressed SENSE (EPICS-DWI) and 3D quantification with an interleaved Look-Locker acquisition sequence with T2 preparation pulse (3D-QALAS) in normal healthy adults.

Methods: Twelve healthy participants (median age, 33 years; range, 28-51 years) were recruited to evaluate the reproducibility of whole-brain EPICS-DWI and synthetic MRI. EPICS-DWI utilizes a compressed SENSE reconstruction framework while maintaining the EPI sampling pattern.
