With 315 participants, the study used validated psychometric tools to measure individual differences in technology attitudes and health behaviors. Results show that technology readiness—particularly optimism and innovativeness—significantly predicts SSW use, more so than intrinsic motivation to exercise or thrill-seeking tendencies. Users of SSWs exhibited higher integrated motivation when physically active, while sedentary users relied more on introjected motivation, suggesting different psychological profiles underpin device adoption. These insights are crucial for designing targeted interventions and technologies that resonate with students. By addressing psychological readiness, this work contributes to more inclusive digital health strategies aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially those promoting well-being, innovation, and equity.

Therefore, it is crucial to understand why construction workers in Hong Kong violate safety rules and procedures. This study aims to fill a gap in existing research, as previous studies directly related to safety violations among Hong Kong construction workers are limited. A mixed methods strategy was adopted. Three hundred sixty-five valid responses from the quantitative questionnaire survey were analysed to examine the relationships using the adapted Theory of Planned Behaviour. Qualitative semi-structured interviews were then conducted to explore safety violations and dynamics of Hong Kong construction workers. The results substantiate the use of TPB in this context. In terms of theoretical implications, the findings suggest a framework that depicts the micro (work progress, working environment, self-awareness, and norms), meso (quality of safety rules and procedures and high-reliability organising), and macro factors (institutional contributors) affecting safety compliance. In terms of practical implications, in addition to implementing interventions to improve workers' intentions regarding safety violations, construction companies should examine the current weaknesses in safety training while enhancing and developing a mindful safety culture to become high-reliability organisations.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100141"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144842284","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is guided by core principles: ensuring free and inclusive access, engaging academic and non-academic audiences, and focusing on advanced methods to support socio-economic research. Mid-term outcomes show broad engagement in courses and sessions with balanced participation across genders and Italian regions, the launch of a university Master program, and the activation of ten PhD positions. FOSSR training contributes to strengthening advanced skills in social data science, promoting a culture of knowledge co-creation, and supporting the development of a community capable of leveraging SSRI data and services to address complex societal challenges. It fosters the transition of social science research toward a knowledge production model grounded in shared data and innovative research services, while enhancing the societal relevance of SSRIs through inclusive learning approaches.

Since poverty is multifaceted and considered unmeasurable in social science, it is notoriously difficult to measure. The methods currently used to measure poverty require a significant amount of time, money, and labor. This poses challenges for policymakers in implementing poverty-reduction policies. Indigenous communities are among the most disadvantaged, vulnerable, and neglected populations in society, facing complex and diverse socioeconomic situations. Poverty stands as one of the oldest and most challenging social problems to have ever existed. Research on indigenous peoples typically takes a qualitative approach, whereas studies on poverty tend to be broad, making them susceptible to significant sampling errors and primarily intended for national policy-making. Using community-based monitoring system (CBMS) data, we achieved a prediction accuracy of 92.60–98.00 % using Random Forest classification and reduced traditional survey and data processing costs by up to 70 %. The proposed model incorporates 27 socioeconomic variables and enables localized policy targeting. Therefore, it is crucial to assess multifaceted poverty and simulate socioeconomic conditions for each tribe to foster economic development. By training and testing datasets, this work proposes new metrics and illustrates the effectiveness of machine learning in predicting poverty. Lastly, the results provide various localities with customized policy targeting tools for poverty alleviation. These techniques can be replicated, adapted, or repurposed by other researchers to assist impoverished populations in improving their well-being.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144772138","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Myoelectric prostheses, controlled by voluntary muscle contractions, can restore some functionality; however, they are costly, complex, and inaccessible, particularly for children who require frequent updates as they grow. In order to address these limitations, the \"Superheroes Project\" was developed at University of Oviedo. This interdisciplinary initiative engages students from engineering and healthcare disciplines in the design and fabrication of low-cost prostheses with 3D printing technology. The project guarantees that each prosthesis is tailored to the specific requirements of the individual, with a focus on comfort, adaptability, and user-friendliness. Digital modelling of the residual limbs is performed for the prostheses design, which are then manufactured with additive technologies of lightweight and flexible materials. 13 individuals from Spain and Cambodia have been benefited from the project, with devices tailored for several activities ranging from daily tasks to sports. In addition to the physical benefits, the project also promotes social inclusion and transforms student participants by enhancing their technical and interpersonal skills. The Superheroes Project demonstrates that affordable customized prostheses can improve the quality of life of patients, while fostering a deep connection between education and community service.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":101167,"journal":{"name":"Societal Impacts","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100137"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-07-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144723602","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
