This research paper aims to scholarly understand and take part in debates regarding the digitalization of education with sustainable higher education and learning. The invention and practice of digital facilities in higher education during and after the Covid-19 era have created ample opportunities as well as various challenges for higher education worldwide. Based on such circumstances, this study identified two research questions, namely: (i) What are the added opportunities digitalization of education offers to maintain sustainable education and learning, and (ii) What are the accompanying challenges behind the digitalization of education and how to address them? This paper is a qualitative study based on gleaned data from both primary and secondary sources. The findings implicate academics and university senior management to reassess the study curriculum and delivery, and adopt and offer dynamic academic programs of higher education, considering the impact of digitalization of education on sustainable higher education and learning. In this study, a research-enriched learning curriculum and effective delivery with an innovative pedagogical approach are also proposed.

Today’s global fishing industries are facing several challenges such as capture fisheries, overfishing, degradation of key species’ habitats, erratic global fuel prices, climate change, etc. Fishing industries face increasing competition for space, feed, and labour, as well as disease outbreaks and the potential impacts of climate change. Such challenges are threatening their sustainability. To maintain sustainability in the fishing industry, efforts are necessary to monitor and manage fish harvesting. This research study adopts blockchain technology and satellite-based space data to monitor and manage fishing for ensuring sustainability. The outcomes from this study help fishermen and consumers to ensure the traceability of fish from bait to plate. This research study is concluded with overall outcomes along with future research direction.

Academic systems, career models, and experienced performance pressure—a comparative study of Sweden and Finland
Kallio, Tomi J.; Lehtivuori , Aki; Kallio , Kirsi-Mari; Tienari, Janne; Funck, Elin (Springer, 2025-09-04)

As universities compete for higher standings in global rankings and implement performance management measures, performance pressure is imposed on scholars. This paper explores the influence of academic systems and career models on scholars in Sweden and Finland, with a focus on experienced performance pressure. Comparable qualitative and quantitative data from these Nordic countries were collected. Despite their numerous similarities, the external contingency factors related to academic systems and career models differ between Sweden and Finland. We found that due to systemic differences the nature of experienced performance pressure differs between the two countries. While scholars in both countries experience high pressure related to performance management, the analysis indicates that the Swedish system primarily directs the pressure to the organizational level, whereas the Finnish system causes more explicit and intense individual level performance pressure. The analysis further indicates that the disparities are most pronounced in the experiences of scholars on fixed-term contracts. The paper suggests that the most decisive characteristic of performance pressure in scholarly work is not its overall magnitude but its nature and intensity from the perspective of individual scholars.
A robotic process automation model for order-handling optimization in supply chain management
Shamsuzzoha, Ahm; Pelkonen, Sini (Elsevier, 2025-01-23)
Artikkeli
This study proposes a robotic process automation (RPA) model to streamline and optimize order-handling procedures in supply chain management. The current manual approach to order handling poses challenges, including limited accessibility and significant cognitive demands on employees. An information systems design methodology is applied to analyze and improve the process, with data gathered through semi-structured interviews to address these issues. The findings highlight that reducing manual labor alleviates workload imbalances and saves time in supply chain automation. Moreover, automating repetitive tasks through well-designed software bots minimizes the risk of human error. While this research focuses on applying RPA in order handling, future studies should explore the potential of artificial intelligence-driven RPA to enhance process automation further.
