Summary: During the COVID-19 era, factors such as company closure policies and prior frequency of remote work played a significant role in determining the extent of telework. Fear of COVID-19 and difficulties in work concentration were identified as influential factors in the perception of telework. Additionally, having multiple children at home negatively impacted the perception of telework but positively influenced the willingness to adopt a hybrid work model.

Summary: The aim of this study was to reveal the common risk factors of suicide among public university students in Bangladesh. The results showed that most of the students who committed suicide had a history of depression, hopelessness, perfectionism, family conflicts, and relationship break-ups. It is therefore necessary to organize seminars, workshops, and awareness-raising campaigns to change their suicidal behavior and establish a strong support system.

Summary: The majority of the university community in Iran is satisfied with remote work, and they cope with the challenges through maintaining social contacts, solidarity, and offering support. Trusting state or local health authorities is the least used coping method. The strategies that have the highest impact on overall teleworking satisfaction are keeping busy, caring for mental and physical health, and focusing on what can be done rather than what cannot be done.

Summary: Higher education is considered a tool for creating job opportunities and improving individuals' quality of life. Students' expectations of career success in higher education are important for their motivation and academic achievement. However, there is a lack of clarity on how career success is defined and whether individuals perceive their experiences to be associated with these definitions.

Summary: This paper explores the knowledge network structure of foreign research literature by applying the qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) method to the field of information science and library science (ISLS) from the perspective of the cocitation of social network actors. The study reveals that the QCA method covers a wide range within the field of ISLS, but the research topics involved in this field are not concentrated. The author cooperation network shows scale-free characteristics and the application of the QCA method is dominant in European and American countries.

This study compared 44 reflections from two university-level sustainability courses. The results showed significant differences in the mean ratings between the courses that used the Reflective Learning Framework (RLF) and the ones that did not, providing evidence of the effectiveness of the RLF for students to apply and demonstrate higher-order thinking skills.

Summary: Accessibility indicators, which are weighted sums of reachable opportunities, are widely used in various fields such as transportation, urban planning, and healthcare. This paper focuses on the concept of competition in accessibility measures and proposes a new measure called spatial availability. The author demonstrates that a commonly used measure of accessibility with congestion fails to properly match the opportunity-seeking population. The spatial availability measure, which utilizes proportional allocation balancing factors, provides a clearer interpretation of accessibility with competition and has potential applications in equity analysis and policy intervention scenario analysis.

Summary: This study examines the impact of performance expectancy and experience, based on the UTAUT theory, on willingness to pay for PAVs and intention to use an automated shuttle bus. Findings show that performance expectancy has the strongest impact, AV experience and transit experience affect PAV adoption, and transit experience only relates to intention to use an automated shuttle bus. The study highlights the complexity of applying common technology adoption models to transportation planning, as the concept of 'experience' is multidimensional and suggests complex pathways towards new mobility options.

Summary: Immobility due to COVID-19 restrictions has affected the health and well-being of specific demographic groups, including older adults, low income families, people with disabilities, and those living in conflict zones. Reduced mobility helped control the spread of the disease, but it also had unintended consequences for well-being. This study examines the impact of mobility restrictions on the life satisfaction of college and university students in Dhaka, Bangladesh.

Summary: This exploratory study used survey data from millennials and older adults in Hamilton, Ontario to identify daily travelers based on their attitudes and perceptions toward transportation modes using latent class analysis. Four types of daily travelers were identified: walk and transit-oriented travelers, car-oriented commuters, multimodal travelers, and car-oriented travelers. The study also examined the association between different sociodemographic characteristics and trip attributes with the four traveler types. Findings suggest that there is heterogeneity within travel-related attitudes among different traveler types, even among individuals of the same generation with similar living arrangements and possession of a driver's license.

Summary: Survey data from the autumn of 2021 shows a significant increase in teleworking due to the Covid-19 pandemic, with the potential to continue in the future. The data suggests that teleworking is likely to increase the most in downtown Toronto, based on work locations. However, teleworking growth is more dispersed based on employees' residential locations. Contrary to expectations, teleworking is not significantly linked to a disconnect between home and work, indicating a potential weakening of the commute-housing trade-off.

Summary: This study investigates the resilience evaluation of interdependent networks. A model is developed to quantify the impacts of network interdependency on the resilience of interdependent transit networks, considering interdependency relations, network topology, flow characteristics, and demand distribution. The model is applied to the metro and bus networks of Xi'an, China. Results show that node degree heterogeneity in topology, bidirectional function dependency among networks, and flow matching between networks are important factors influencing network resilience.

Summary: Many transport models allocate all costs to the car driver without considering the cost sharing among passengers. This paper questions this premise and argues that cost sharing can occur in various forms, which should be properly accounted for in transport models. The empirical evidence from Denmark suggests that not accounting for cost sharing may result in biased cost elasticities and occupancy rates.

Summary: High-speed rail is considered a promising alternative for long-distance travel, but the current state of the European HSR network is poorly connected. This study presents a customized version of network design and frequency setting problem for HSR, and analyzes the performance under various policies and design variables. The results show that considering externalities leads to more extensive networks and mode shifts, but requires high public investments. The importance of network integration and cross-border cooperation is highlighted. The findings aim to contribute to the design of an attractive and competitive European HSR network.

Summary: This study addresses the research gaps in understanding the effect of regression models, measurement period, and spatial dependence on Freight Trip Generation (FTG) modeling and freight-related policies. The results show that the spatial Zero-Inflated Negative Binomial (ZINB) model is the best for daily and weekly Freight Trip Production (FTP), while the non-spatial Negative Binomial (NB) model is the best for daily and weekly Freight Trip Attraction (FTA). The study also highlights the importance of considering spatial dependence and using count models with a week as the measurement period.
