This research explores the application of machine learning to optimize pricing strategies in the aftermarket sector, particularly focusing on parts with no assigned values and the detection of outliers. The study emphasizes the need to incorporate technical features to improve pricing accuracy and decision-making.

The methodology involves data collection from web scraping and backend sources, followed by data preprocessing, feature engineering and model selection to capture the technical attributes of parts. A Random Forest Regressor model is chosen and trained to predict prices, achieving a 76.14% accuracy rate.

The model demonstrates accurate price prediction for parts with no assigned values while remaining within an acceptable price range. Additionally, outliers representing extreme pricing scenarios are successfully identified and predicted within the acceptable range.

This research bridges the gap between industry practice and academic research by demonstrating the effectiveness of machine learning for aftermarket pricing optimization. It offers an approach to address the challenges of pricing parts without assigned values and identifying outliers, potentially leading to increased revenue, sharper pricing tactics and a competitive advantage for aftermarket companies.

This study investigates the applications of computer vision (CV) technology in the tourism sector to predict visitors' facial and emotion detection, augmented reality (AR) visitor engagements, destination crowd management and sustainable tourism practices.

This study employed a systematic literature review, following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses methodology and bibliometric study on research articles related to the tourism sector. In total, 407 articles from the year, 2013 to 2024, all indexed in Scopus, were screened. However, only 150 relevant ones on CV in Tourism were selected based on the following criteria: academic journal publication, English language, empirical evidence provision and publication up to 2024.

The findings reveal a burgeoning interest in utilizing CV in tourism, highlighting its potential for crowd management and personalized experience. However, ethical concerns surrounding facial recognition and integration challenges need addressing. AR enhances engagement, but ethical and accessibility issues persist. Image processing aids sustainability efforts but requires precision and integration for effectiveness.

The study’s originality lies in its thorough examination of CV’s role in tourism, covering facial recognition, crowd insights, AR and image processing for sustainability. It addresses ethical concerns and proposes advancements for a more responsible and sustainable tourist experience, offering novel insights for industry development.

Artificial intelligence (AI) can enhance human resource resiliency (HRR) by providing the insights and resources needed to adapt to unexpected changes and disruptions. Therefore, the present research attempts to develop a framework for future researchers to gain insights into the actions of AI to enable HRR.

The present study used a systematic literature review, bibliometric analysis, and network analysis followed by content analysis. In doing so, we reviewed the literature to explore the present state of research in AI and HRR. A total of 98 articles were included, extracted from the Scopus database in the selected field of research.

The authors found that AI or AI-associated techniques help deliver various HRR-oriented outcomes, such as enhancing employee competency, performance management and risk management; enhancing leadership competencies and employee well-being measures; and developing effective compensation and reward management.

The present research has certain implications, such as increasing the HR team's proficiency, addressing the problem of job loss and how to fix it, improving working conditions and improving decision-making in HR.

The present research explores the role of AI in HRR following the COVID-19 pandemic, which has not been explored extensively.

The study aims to investigate the consumers' behavioral intention toward green hotels. The tendency of individuals to afford green hotels is further escalating with progressing coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic recurring waves. The increased worry of consumers toward health, hygiene and the climate is acquiring momentum and transforming how consumers traditionally perceive green hotels.

The study has recommended an integrated framework incorporating various research fields as attitude-behavior-context theory, theory of planned behavior (TPB) and moderating influences to study the associations among the antecedents of consumers' behavioral intention toward green hotels. The study comprised the participation of 536 respondents residing in the Delhi and National Capital Region (NCR) of India. The data analysis strategy involved the use of structural equation modeling (SEM) analysis to test the proposed research framework.

The results and findings of the study indicated a significant influence of fear and uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic and environmental concern on green trust. The results also revealed the considerable impact of green trust on willingness to pay premium, attitude and subjective norms, which significantly influenced behavioral intention. The analysis also revealed the moderating influence of environmental concern in the relationship of green trust and behavioral intention.

The study has recommended significant theoretical. The theorists may use this research framework to analyze better the transforming consumer behavior trends toward green hotels in the ongoing fearful and uncertain COVID-19 pandemic scenario.

The study has recommended significant managerial implications. The industry practitioners may also utilize the framework to sustain the hotel business and bring new strategic insights into practice to combat the impact of the pandemic and simultaneously win consumers' trust in green hotels.

Although the researchers have previously emphasized consumers' intention toward green practices embraced by hotels, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the green hotel industry gained noticeable attention from researchers. Furthermore, there is a scarcity of literature providing insights on the behavioral dynamism of hotel customers' trust, attitude and willingness to pay for green hotels during the repetitive waves of the COVID-19 pandemic. The study will support the existing literature gap by enlightening the associations among the various antecedents of green hotels' behavioral intention, COVID-19 and environmental concern.
