Summary: The research focuses on improving and strengthening the coordination of vaccine supply chains using artificial intelligence and blockchain technologies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study models the supply chain as a two-player dynamic game and examines the applicability and effectiveness of the technologies, as well as their impact on environmental performance. The results show that the difficulty in obtaining certified vaccines is not directly proportional to the profit of vaccine manufacturers, and the manufacturers are more sensitive to changes in the vaccine attenuation rate.

Summary: Increasing complexity and the involvement of additional stakeholders make it impossible to predict the impact of each decision, which puts supply chain managers in uncertain situations. However, a supply chain that can adapt and react to the current scenario gives them some control over these ambiguous circumstances. These characteristics of sensing disturbances or threats and giving appropriate responses can be improved with the implementation of blockchain-enabled technologies and can prove critical to the success of supply chain resilience and sustainability.

Summary: Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) enables saving encrypted data across a peer-to-peer network without central authority. Our empirical research focuses on DLT application in supply chain management and identifies five DLT affordances: product origin verification, digital data exchange, logistics tracking, simplified supply chain finance, and automated payments. We contribute to the discourse on DLT value creation and provide practical guidance for assessing DLT potential in supply chains, integrating our findings into the academic discussion on collaboration in viable supply networks.

Summary: This study explores the perceptions of supply chain managers on cyber supply chain risk management (CSCRM) and alignment, with a focus on the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry in Italy. While there is some alignment in perceptions across the FMCG supply chain, Logistics Service Providers are identified as crucial orchestrators in the CSCRM process, emphasizing the importance of people in improving cyber resilience. By involving different actors in the supply chain, the study provides insights for practitioners to streamline cyber security strategies for better alignment and coordination in CSCRM initiatives.

Summary: This paper proposes a new method for detecting fishing activities of vessels based on their trajectories. The method utilizes local dynamic parameters and global statistical characteristics to achieve accurate detection. Experimental results using vessel trajectory and fishing log data collected from Chinese ocean squid fishing vessels in Argentine waters in 2020 demonstrate the effectiveness and feasibility of the proposed method. The method provides robust and accurate recognition results, allowing for spatial and temporal analysis of fishing activities and individual vessel assessment.

Summary: Although signal countdown timers (SCTs) could enhance efficiency at signalized intersections, their effects on road users' behavior have been largely unexplored. This study investigates how SCTs influence drivers' actions towards pedestrians violating red lights through on-road surveys and naturalistic driving studies. The results show that the presence of SCTs significantly affects driving behavior, with critical times of SCTs leading to changes in actions like increasing vehicle speed and changing lanes. The study highlights the potential risks associated with SCTs, such as increased errors and violations, and their implications for pedestrian safety.
