Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

Forthcoming articles must be purchased for the purposes of research, teaching and private study only. These articles can be cited using the expression "in press". For example: Smith, J. (in press). Article Title. Journal Title.

  • Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Prediction: Analysis for Smart Healthcare System 5.0 for Smart Cities in South Asia   Order a copy of this article
    by Rohit Rastogi, Prabhinav Mishra, Rayush Jain, Mohd Shahjahan 
    Abstract: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) could be a dynamic respiratory condition characterised by wind current restriction and respiratory side effects. Early discovery and mediation are pivotal for overseeing COPD effectively and progressing quiet results. In this term paper, we display a novel approach to COPD expectation utilising machine learning (ML) strategies coordinates into a web-based framework. Our proposed framework permits clients to transfer voice notes, which are at that point analysed by the ML show to anticipate the probability of COPD nearness. The ML demonstration is prepared on a dataset consisting of voice recordings from people with and without COPD, consolidating highlights such as hack designs, respiratory sounds, and vocal characteristics. Different ML calculations are investigated to recognise the foremost compelling approach for COPD forecast. The web-based interface gives a user-friendly stage for people to survey their COPD hazard helpfully and secretly. Through thorough assessment and approval, our framework illustrates promising precision and unwavering quality in foreseeing COPD nearness based on voice recordings. Execution of such a framework has the potential to revolutionise early location techniques for COPD, empowering convenient mediations and making strides persistent results.

  • Interplay of TQM Culture on Product Innovation in the light of a Firm's Internal Capabilities   Order a copy of this article
    by Praveen Kumar T.  
    Abstract: Total quality management (TQM) has often been underrepresented in academic research, frequently overshadowed by other management innovation tools despite its strategic relevance. This study examines how TQM practices contribute to the development of firm-specific resources that support innovation, grounded in the resource-based view (RBV). The research explores the relationships between TQM culture, product innovation, and process improvement capability in the Indian textile industry. In the first phase, a conceptual model is developed and empirically tested using partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) based on 320 responses from manufacturing firms. In the second phase, machine learning techniques are employed to test the robustness and predictive validity of the model. The results confirm positive relationships among TQM culture, product innovation, and process improvement capability. The findings indicate that effective TQM investment and resource management foster innovation-driven capabilities and sustainable competitive advantage. This integration strengthens empirical understanding of TQMs role in innovation.
    Keywords: TQM culture; Product Innovation; Process Improvement Capability; PLS-SEM; Machine learning.
