Postscript to a small volume with poems by Hungarian poet Daniel Dányi (b. 1981)

This thesis explores how entrepreneurs experience and regulate fluctuations in passion, and how these affect their decision-making in high-stakes contexts. While entrepreneurial passion has been widely recognised as a motivating force, little is known about how its intensity fluctuates over time and how such shifts influence strategic behaviour and decisions. Drawing on emotion regulation theory,

Brazil’s National Strategy for the Impact Economy (ENIMPACTO), launched in 2017, is a public initiative that fosters an ecosystem where businesses combine financial returns with positive social and environmental outcomes. While the strategy has earned both national and international recognition, its implementation and the role of intermediary organizations in this process remain underexplored in a

Conventional agriculture, dominated by annual crops, has revolutionised food production but also introduced significant environmental and social challenges. Perennial crops offer a promising alternative, with potential benefits for ecosystem services, agricultural sustainability, and food security. Although the environmental benefits of perennial crops, such as the intermediate wheat grass Kernza

Sustainable products have arrived on the market and faced competition with traditional products with one extra challenge: they normally tend to be more expensive than traditional ones. Customers are yet to pay more for these products as they are alerted for environmental impacts. However, the gap between knowledge and action is being decreased slowly. One of the factors for this sluggish behavior

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is a unique material for biosensing applications due to its capability of hosting enzymes. For the first time, we show that TiO2 can accumulate reactive oxygen species (ROS) under daylight irradiation and can support the catalytic cycle of horseradish peroxidase (HRP) without the need of H2O2 to be present in the solution. Phenolic compounds, such as hydroquinone (HQ) and 4

In this introduction to the special issue on critical performativity and alternative organization we provide a brief historico-theoretical sketch of the key concepts involved and point to ongoing pertinent debates in the field of critical management studies. We also present the articles included in the issue, which all explore aspects of how critical performativity and alternative organization may

Klima is a carbon-backed cryptocurrency running as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO). In 2021, it had accumulated 9 million metric tons of digital carbon credits and reached a market value of more than US$1 billion. In 2023, its treasury stored twice as many carbon credits, but its spot price was a tiny fraction compared to 2021. Building on prior scholarship at the intersection of car

Dysregulation of alternative splicing is increasingly associated with cancer development and tumor progression. BCL2-associated transcription factor 1 (BCLAF1) is involved in a wide range of biological processes and it is continuously being investigated due to its intricate function in tumorigenesis and drug resistance. In acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cell lines, we identified two distinct, unbala

Mali and Somalia have both suffered determined Islamist-inspired insurgencies, and in both African Union-led peace operations have been a central pillar in political and security stabilization efforts. Despite challenges in transferring lessons between unique situations, the AMISOM experience can offer some useful lessons for Mali. We have identified several themes that helped to drive success for
