description: This study examined the performance of U.S. infrastructure projects through a quantitative analysis of integrated planning, risk management, and digital construction technologies. A cross-sectional explanatory research design was adopted, and data were collected from 214 infrastructure professionals across transportation, energy, utilities, and public works sectors. The study aimed to evaluate the extent to which these factors influenced project performance, measured in terms of cost efficiency, schedule adherence, quality outcomes, and coordination effectiveness. Descriptive analysis indicated moderate to high implementation levels of integrated planning (M = 3.78), risk management (M = 3.65), and digital construction technologies (M = 3.71), with overall project performance recorded at a mean value of 3.83. Correlation analysis revealed strong positive relationships between integrated planning and project performance (r = 0.62), digital construction technologies (r = 0.55), and risk management (r = 0.51), all statistically significant at p < 0.001. Multiple regression analysis further demonstrated that the combined model explained 58.4% of the variance in project performance (R² = 0.584, F = 61.27, p < 0.001). Integrated planning emerged as the strongest predictor (β = 0.41), followed by digital construction technologies (β = 0.29) and risk management (β = 0.25), all statistically significant. Subgroup analysis indicated that technology-driven sectors such as transportation and energy reported higher digital impact, while experienced professionals showed stronger alignment with planning effectiveness. The findings confirmed that infrastructure project performance is significantly enhanced through the integration of structured planning, proactive risk management, and digital construction capabilities. The study contributed to the literature by providing empirical evidence of the combined and relative effects of these factors within a unified quantitative framework.…

AI-Based Psychodiagnostics’ Models to Support Early Intervention and Reduce Suicide Risk in Adolescents and Youth: Development and Clinical Validation
type: item
description: Adolescent suicide has become a major public health concern worldwide, requiring more effective approaches for early detection and prevention. This study examined the development and validation of artificial intelligence (AI)–based psychodiagnostics models designed to support early identification of suicide risk among adolescents and youth. A quantitative research design was employed using structured psychodiagnostics assessment data collected from 268 adolescents aged between 13 and 21 years who had undergone psychological screening in educational or mental health support environments. The study analyzed key psychological and behavioral constructs including depressive symptoms, emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, and social stress exposure to determine their predictive influence on suicide risk indicators. Descriptive statistical analysis revealed moderate levels of psychological distress within the study population, with depressive symptoms recording the highest mean score (M = 3.45, SD = 0.80) followed by emotional dysregulation (M = 3.33, SD = 0.75), social stress (M = 3.29, SD = 0.74), suicide risk indicators (M = 3.16, SD = 0.83), and impulsivity (M = 3.07, SD = 0.78). Reliability analysis confirmed strong internal consistency across all measurement scales, with Cronbach’s alpha values ranging from 0.81 to 0.90. Multiple regression analysis indicated that the predictive model explained 58% of the variance in suicide risk outcomes (R² = 0.58). Depressive symptoms emerged as the strongest predictor of suicide vulnerability with a standardized beta coefficient of 0.42 (p < 0.001), followed by emotional dysregulation (β = 0.30, p < 0.001) and social stress (β = 0.27, p < 0.001), while impulsivity (β = 0.18, p = 0.009) demonstrated a moderate but statistically significant influence. These findings indicate that suicide risk among adolescents is shaped by a multidimensional interaction of emotional distress, behavioral tendencies, and environmental stressors. The …

The Role of Social Media Exposure in Shaping Anxiety, Self-Esteem, And Emotional Regulation Among Adolescents: Implications for Clinical Intervention
type: item
description: This study examined the role of multidimensional social media exposure in shaping anxiety, self-esteem, and emotional regulation among adolescents within a quantitative framework. A cross-sectional survey was administered to 528 adolescents aged 13–18 years (M = 15.42, SD = 1.67). Hierarchical regression, mediation, and moderation analyses were conducted to assess direct and indirect relationships while controlling for demographic and psychosocial variables. Results indicated that passive exposure (β = .18, p < .001), feedback monitoring (β = .14, p = .002), and problematic use (β = .29, p < .001) were significant positive predictors of anxiety, with the full model explaining 35.6% of variance (R² = .356). For self-esteem, passive exposure (β = −.17, p < .001), feedback monitoring (β = −.13, p = .004), and problematic use (β = −.21, p < .001) were negatively associated, while active engagement showed a small positive association (β = .09, p = .036), with the model explaining 31.8% of variance (R² = .318). Emotional dysregulation significantly predicted anxiety (β = .47, p < .001) and self-esteem (β = −.43, p < .001) and partially mediated relationships between problematic use and both outcomes (indirect effect for anxiety = .12; 95% CI [.08, .17]). Moderation analyses revealed small but significant interaction effects involving stress and sleep quality. Findings supported a multidimensional exposure model in which evaluative and compulsive engagement patterns were more strongly associated with psychological vulnerability than general active use. Results underscore the importance of incorporating exposure quality and emotional regulation processes into adolescent mental health assessment and intervention frameworks.

Machine Learning Accuracy in Healthcare Risk Prediction: Algorithms, Datasets, and Effect Sizes: A Meta-Analysis
type: item
description: This study addressed the problem that machine learning healthcare risk prediction research reports “accuracy” inconsistently across algorithms, datasets, and validation designs, making it difficult for clinicians and health system leaders to identify dependable models for real-world deployment. Using a quantitative, cross-sectional, case-based design, each eligible peer-reviewed paper was treated as a “case” drawn from large-scale clinical data environments, including enterprise electronic health record implementations and multi-institution critical-care repositories. The purpose was to quantify comparative performance across model families, document dataset and reporting patterns, and estimate effect-size style differences under heterogeneous conditions. The final sample included N = 110 studies spanning 14 outcome categories, dominated by EHR/ICU datasets (62.7%, n = 69), followed by claims/administrative (14.5%, n = 16), registry/cohort (11.8%, n = 13), and imaging or multimodal (10.9%, n = 12); 88 studies provided extractable AUROC and/or AUPRC for quantitative synthesis. Key variables included algorithm family (regularized linear, ensemble, deep learning), dataset modality, validation type (internal-only vs external), outcome category and imbalance prevalence, and reporting indicators (calibration, missingness and imbalance handling). The analysis plan applied random-effects pooling with subgroup and moderator comparisons to explain heterogeneity. Headline findings showed an overall pooled AUROC = 0.83 (95% CI: 0.81–0.85; I² = 78%), with ensemble models AUROC = 0.85 (0.83–0.87) and deep learning AUROC = 0.86 (0.84–0.88) outperforming regularized linear baselines AUROC = 0.79 (0.77–0.81), yielding ΔAUROC = +0.06 for ensembles versus linear models; external validation reduced pooled AUROC to 0.80 (0.78–0.82) compared with 0.85 (0.83–0.87) for internal-only studies (ΔAUROC = −0.05). Where reported, minority-class performance differed meaningfully under imbalance, …

A Conceptual Model Development for Evaluating AI-Driven Predictive Maintenance in SCADA-Integrated Smart Grid Systems
type: item
description: This study develops a conceptual model for evaluating AI-driven predictive maintenance (PdM) in SCADA-integrated smart grid systems through a systematic review and meta-analysis conducted in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 guidelines. A structured search across six major databases, IEEE Xplore, Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, ACM Digital Library, and Google Scholar, covering the period from January 2013 to December 2024 yielded 4,847 initial records, of which 63 studies met the full inclusion criteria following rigorous dual-reviewer screening, quality appraisal using the Newcastle-Ottawa Scale, and risk-of-bias assessment; pooled effect sizes were subsequently computed using a random-effects model (DerSimonian-Laird estimator) to account for inter-study heterogeneity (I² = 78.4%), with subgroup analyses stratified by AI algorithm type, grid segment, and SCADA integration depth. Meta-analytic findings revealed a weighted mean fault detection accuracy of 94.3% (95% CI: 92.1%–96.5%), with deep learning architectures — particularly LSTM and hybrid CNN-LSTM models — significantly outperforming traditional machine learning approaches (SMD = 0.67; 95% CI: 0.48–0.86, p < 0.001), and real-time SCADA-integrated configurations demonstrating markedly greater reductions in unplanned outage rates (SMD = 0.81; 95% CI: 0.59–1.03) relative to offline processing alternatives, with no significant publication bias detected via Egger's test (p = 0.16). Grounded in this synthesized evidence, the study proposes the SCADA-AI Predictive Maintenance Evaluation Framework (SAPMEF), a five-dimensional conceptual model encompassing data acquisition and sensor integration, AI model architecture selection, real-time SCADA communication fidelity, maintenance decision optimization, and grid resilience metrics, offering researchers, grid operators, and policymakers a structured, evidence-based instrument for benchmarking and…

An Experimental Evaluation of ETL-Driven Business Intelligence Architectures for Enhancing AI-Based Cybersecurity Performance
type: item
description: This study investigated the relationships between three theoretically grounded independent variables and a key organizational outcome using a quantitative, cross-sectional explanatory design. Data were collected from 312 respondents within a defined organizational context through a structured survey instrument composed of validated multi-item Likert scales. Internal consistency reliability analysis confirmed strong measurement stability, with Cronbach’s alpha coefficients ranging from 0.82 to 0.90 across all constructs. Descriptive statistics indicated moderate-to-high mean scores for the principal variables, with the dependent variable reporting the highest mean (M = 4.02, SD = 0.66), reflecting generally favorable performance perceptions among participants. Correlation analysis revealed statistically significant positive associations among all constructs, with coefficients ranging from r = 0.55 to r = 0.63 (p < 0.01). Multiple regression analysis was conducted to examine predictive relationships while controlling for demographic factors. The overall model was statistically significant, F(7, 304) = 52.84, p < 0.001, explaining 54.9% of the variance in the dependent variable (R² = 0.549; adjusted R² = 0.539). All three independent variables demonstrated significant positive effects on the outcome variable. Independent Variable 3 emerged as the strongest predictor (β = 0.361, p < 0.001), followed by Independent Variable 1 (β = 0.328, p < 0.001) and Independent Variable 2 (β = 0.229, p < 0.001). Demographic control variables did not exhibit statistically significant effects. The findings provided empirical validation of the proposed conceptual framework and demonstrated that the identified predictors collectively contributed substantially to performance outcomes within the examined context. The results offered both theoretical support and practical implications, emphasizing the importance of prioritizing high-impact organizational drivers. Overall, this study contribu…

description: This study addresses the persistent problem of detecting anomalous and fraudulent transactions in retail banking networks where high transaction volume, class imbalance, and evolving attack patterns create unacceptable false-positive burden and missed-fraud risk. The purpose was to quantify which enterprise fraud-detection system conditions most strongly predict perceived fraud-detection effectiveness within a real organizational setting, using a quantitative, cross-sectional, case-based design grounded in a cloud-hosted enterprise fraud-monitoring deployment. Data were collected from a purposive sample of N = 156 stakeholders drawn from enterprise operations and governance roles (fraud analysts 46.2%, IT or ML support 31.4%, compliance or risk 22.4%), representing cloud and enterprise operational cases within the case environment. Key variables included Perceived Fraud-Detection Effectiveness (PFDE) as the dependent outcome, and Algorithm Capability, Feature or Information Quality, Real-Time Readiness, Explainability Clarity, and Governance or Compliance Readiness as primary predictors; operational impact variables included a False-Positive Burden Index (FPBI) and an Alert-Triage Efficiency Index (TEI). The analysis plan applied descriptive statistics, reliability testing (Cronbach’s alpha), Pearson correlations, and multiple regression modeling. Findings indicated moderately high PFDE (M = 3.84, SD = 0.61) alongside strong measurement reliability (α range .82–.90; PFDE α = .88). PFDE correlated most strongly with TEI (r = .66, p < .001) and Feature or Information Quality (r = .62, p < .001), and negatively with FPBI (r = −.44, p < .001). The regression model explained substantial variance in PFDE (R² = .58; F(5,150) = 41.30, p < .001), with Feature or Information Quality emerging as the strongest predictor (β = .34, p < .001), followed by Governance or Compliance Readiness (β = .24, p = .002), Explainability (β = .18, p = .011), and Algorithm Capability (β = .15, …

Advancing United States Leadership in Artificial Intelligence Through Enterprise AI Governance and Risk Intelligence Models
type: item
description: This study investigated the extent to which enterprise AI governance maturity and risk intelligence integration predicted institutional reliability and leadership-related outcomes within CI/CD-enabled cloud infrastructures. A cross-sectional quantitative design was employed using data from 287 U.S.-based enterprises spanning financial services (24.4%), healthcare (18.5%), manufacturing (12.5%), logistics (11.8%), insurance (10.1%), energy (8.0%), retail (7.3%), and technology services (7.3%). Descriptive results indicated moderate-to-high governance maturity (M = 3.87, SD = 0.62) and monitoring infrastructure strength (M = 3.92, SD = 0.61), with strong policy formalization (M = 4.12, SD = 0.58) and anomaly detection adoption (M = 4.05, SD = 0.60). Hierarchical regression analysis revealed that Governance Maturity significantly predicted Institutional Reliability (β = .39, p < .001), increasing explained variance from 8.4% in the control model to 32.7% (ΔR² = .243). The addition of Risk Intelligence Integration (M = 3.54, SD = 0.69) further increased total explained variance to 41.3% (ΔR² = .086, β = .34, p < .001). Fairness Controls (M = 3.41, SD = 0.73) demonstrated a significant negative association with bias-related incident frequency (β = −.42, R² = .186, p < .001). Monitoring Infrastructure significantly predicted model performance stability (β = .47, R² = .294, p < .001). Regulatory Alignment (M = 3.76, SD = 0.67) was positively associated with Competitive Positioning (β = .44, R² = .311, p < .001). Reliability coefficients ranged from .76 to .88. The findings demonstrated that structured governance and integrated risk intelligence systems explained substantial variance in deployment stability, compliance performance, and competitive outcomes within enterprise AI ecosystems.

AI-Enabled Performance-Based Structural Optimization of Steel Truss and Mezzanine Systems for Industrial Facilities
type: item
description: This study investigated AI-enabled, performance-based structural optimization of steel truss and mezzanine systems used in industrial facilities through a quantitative computational benchmarking design. Multiple optimization algorithms were evaluated under identical structural modeling assumptions, load combinations, and constraint conditions to determine their influence on material efficiency, serviceability control, stability adequacy, vibration response, and computational performance. The final analytic dataset consisted of 468 valid optimization runs derived from 16 standardized structural configurations, equally representing truss and mezzanine systems. Results demonstrated an overall mean weight reduction of 18.6% relative to baseline designs, with truss systems achieving higher reductions (20.1%) compared to mezzanine systems (17.0%). Differential Evolution and Hybrid Metaheuristic approaches produced significantly greater material savings than the reference Genetic Algorithm, with mean improvements exceeding 3.0 percentage points (p < 0.001). Dimensionality exerted the strongest influence on computational cost, as high-dimensional cases increased runtime by an average of 5.41 minutes and significantly raised convergence iterations (p < 0.001). The runtime regression model explained 56% of variance, while the weight reduction model explained 41% of variance. Feasibility performance remained stable across complexity levels, with an overall feasibility rate of 91.6%. No statistically significant differences were observed among algorithms for overall structural adequacy once feasible convergence was achieved, indicating consistent compliance with strength, serviceability, and stability requirements. Reliability analysis confirmed strong internal consistency for composite structural adequacy measures (α = 0.88) and acceptable consistency for optimization efficiency (α = 0.74), supporting inferential modeling validity. The findings demonstrated that algorithm sele…

Measuring the Security Impact of Zero Trust Access Controls: A Mixed-Methods Study of Identity-Based Policies (Cisco ISE + AD) and Incident Reduction
type: item
description: This study measured the security impact of Zero Trust access controls implemented through identity-based policies integrating Cisco Identity Services Engine (ISE) with Active Directory (AD). A quantitative, quasi-experimental pretest–posttest design was employed using an interrupted time-series approach to evaluate security outcomes across pre-implementation and post-implementation observation windows. The analysis examined whether the enforcement of centralized authentication, authorization, and policy-driven segmentation was associated with measurable reductions in security incidents, improvements in identity governance outcomes, and enhanced Security Operations Center (SOC) performance. Findings indicated that Zero Trust implementation was associated with a substantial reduction in incident frequency and severity. Weekly total incident counts declined from 38.4 during the baseline period to 27.1 in the post-implementation period, representing a 29.4% reduction. High-severity incidents declined from 11.2 to 6.3 per week, reflecting a 43.8% reduction, while the proportional share of high-severity incidents decreased from 29.2% to 18.5. Unauthorized access attempts decreased from 145.6 to 118.4 per week (18.7% reduction), while authentication anomalies declined from 96.8 to 62.7 per week (35.2% reduction). Lateral movement alerts demonstrated the strongest proportional improvement, decreasing from 12.5 to 6.8 per week, representing a 45.6% reduction. SOC performance also improved significantly. Mean time to detect (MTTD) declined from 18.6 hours to 11.4 hours, indicating a 38.7% improvement, while mean time to respond (MTTR) declined from 26.3 hours to 17.9 hours, reflecting a 31.9% improvement. Time-to-containment improved from 42.8 hours to 28.5 hours, representing a 33.4% reduction. Regression models confirmed that post-implementation status significantly predicted lower incident rates (IRR = 0.71, p < .001) and lower high-severity incident rates (IRR = 0.60, p <…

type: item
description: Performance analytics has become a critical enabler for digital marketing and service enterprises seeking to improve decision-making, operational efficiency, and customer-centric strategies in highly competitive and data-driven environments. This empirical study examines the structure, adoption, and effectiveness of performance analytics frameworks used across digital marketing and service-oriented organizations. A systematic review of 72 peer-reviewed research papers, published between 2015 and 2025, was conducted alongside empirical data collected from selected enterprises to identify dominant analytical models, key performance indicators (KPIs), and implementation challenges. The findings reveal that over 68% of enterprises rely primarily on descriptive and diagnostic analytics, while only 32% have effectively integrated predictive or prescriptive analytics into their performance frameworks. Empirical results indicate that organizations utilizing advanced analytics frameworks reported an average 21–28% improvement in campaign conversion rates, a 19% increase in customer retention, and a 15% reduction in service response time compared to those using traditional performance measurement approaches. Additionally, the study identifies data integration, analytics skill gaps, and scalability constraints as major barriers, affecting approximately 54% of surveyed organizations. The research further highlights that enterprises aligning performance analytics with strategic objectives experienced measurable gains in marketing return on investment (ROI), with an average ROI improvement of 17% over a one-year period. By synthesizing evidence from the literature review and empirical analysis, this study proposes a structured performance analytics framework tailored to digital marketing and service enterprises. The study contributes both theoretical and practical insights by demonstrating how analytics-driven performance measurement can support continuous improvement, enhance cu…

Data-Driven Ergonomic Risk Analysis Using Wearable Sensor Networks and Deep Learning for Injury Prevention in Industrial Workplaces
type: item
description: This study investigated a data-driven ergonomic risk analysis framework integrating wearable sensor networks and deep learning to improve injury prevention in industrial workplaces. A total of 112 production workers participated after data screening, representing assembly, material handling, and mixed-task roles. Continuous biomechanical data, including trunk deviation duration, repetition rate, upper-limb elevation frequency, and muscular activation intensity, were collected across full work shifts. Multiple regression analysis revealed that wearable-derived exposure variables significantly predicted ergonomic risk scores, with the overall model explaining 51.7% of variance (R² = 0.517, p < .001). Trunk deviation duration (β = 0.41, p < .001) and repetition rate (β = 0.33, p < .001) emerged as the strongest predictors of elevated risk classification. The deep learning model achieved a classification accuracy of 84.6%, outperforming logistic regression (73.2%) and decision tree models (69.8%), with statistically significant differences (p < .001). Cumulative exposure analysis indicated a positive correlation between aggregated risk index and high-risk event frequency (r = 0.50, p < .001), confirming the influence of sustained biomechanical load. Reliability testing demonstrated strong internal consistency for the ergonomic exposure construct (α = 0.87) and cumulative risk index (α = 0.82). Material handling tasks accumulated the highest proportion of high-risk windows at 30.9%, compared to 14.0% in repetitive assembly operations. Findings demonstrated that wearable sensor–based predictive modeling provided reliable, objective, and generalizable ergonomic risk assessment, supporting its application as a scalable injury prevention strategy in industrial production systems.
