مستخلص: The logistics sector has seen rapid growth in the past few years due to globalization and the rise in demand for goods and commodities. With the exponential growth, managing logistics is becoming complex and challenging, often due to a lack of traceability. Also, its negative impacts on the environment have increased due to increased footprints, thus causing a threat to sustainability. Incorporating smart systems in the logistics sector is a possible solution to overcome these issues. But the incorporation of smart technologies in the logistics sector of a developing economy is often marred by various challenges. This study aims to identify and prioritize the challenges to smart sustainable logistics (SSL) and the multiple strategies that can help overcome these challenges. A framework comprised of 19 barriers to SSL and seven strategies for overcoming these barriers is established via a comprehensive literature study and practitioner discussions. The Bayesian best–worst method is implemented to examine the barriers to SSL, while the additive value function is used to rank the strategies. The results indicate that businesses must develop internet infrastructure and R&D and innovation competencies for the logistics sector to be smart and sustainable. They also need to build institutional structures for technology development. Also, reducing technological uncertainties, enhancing research & development capabilities, and nurturing human resources in smart technologies can help logistics companies overcome these challenges.

الوصف: The agriculture industry is one of India's largest and most important economic contributors. This is vital to the Indian economy since it contributes around 18% to the GDP and employs over 60% of the labour force. Due to the nature of the goods, however, this sector confronts many challenges. An effective agri-logistics network can be a viable solution, but the sector must be prepared to overcome various risks. Therefore, this study aimed to identify potential risks to the smart, sustainable agri-logistics industry and strategies for mitigating those risks. Bayesian Best Worst Method (BBWM) was used to prioritise the identified risks and the mitigating strategies. Study results indicate that by obtaining the highest ratings, technological (0.351), social (0.187), and individual (0.169) are the dominating risks to the Agri-logistics sector. Further, it was discovered that combining multiple strategies is more effective than any one strategy alone in reducing the identified risks.

الوصف: An emerging interest regarding nanoparticles (NPs) concerns their potential immunomodulatory and pro-inflammatory activities, as well as their impact in the circulatory system. These biological activities of NPs can be related to the intensity and type of the responses, which can raise concerns about adverse side effects and limit the biomedical applicability of these nanomaterials. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of a library of cationic cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) in the human blood and endothelial cells using cell-based assays. First, we evaluated whether the cationic CNCs would cause hemolysis and aggregation or alteration on the morphology of red blood cells (RBC). We observed that although these nanomaterials did not alter RBC morphology or cause aggregation, at 24 h exposure, a mild hemolysis was detected mainly with unmodified CNCs. Then, we analyzed the effect of various concentrations of CNCs on the cell viability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in a time-dependent manner. None of the cationic CNCs caused a dose-response decrease in the cell viability of HUVEC at 24 h or 48 h of exposure. The findings of this study, together with the immunomodulatory properties of these cationic CNCs previously published, support the development of engineered cationic CNCs for biomedical applications, in particular as vaccine nanoadjuvants.
