Beyond family
Purpose This research aims to examine the entrepreneurial aspirations of Roma students, a group that has long been disadvantaged or underrepresented in entrepreneurship studies. Grounded in the theory of planned behaviour, this study places intention formation within a mixed-embeddedness framework that acknowledges that entrepreneurial intentions are influenced by socio-spatial marginalisation as well as place-based opportunity configurations. It…
Company Location, Business Environment and Digital Maturity as Drivers of Environmental Innovation in Business
Environmental protection has emerged as a global priority in the contemporary context. As pivotal actors in the transition towards sustainable development, companies play a crucial role through the adoption of environmental innovations. This study investigates how organisational characteristics—specifically geographical location, business environment and digital maturity—influence the adoption of environmental innovations, employing machine learn…
Before and After Remedial Classes
This study examines the role of remedial classes as a pedagogical intervention in higher education accounting. Specifically, it analyses how students' attitudes, perceived learning, continued‐use intention and word‐of‐mouth communication are shaped before and after participation in remedial classes. A quantitative pre‐ and post‐intervention design was adopted, with data collected from accounting students at two moments: before the implementation …
AI-Supported Pedagogical Supervision
The increasing integration of generative artificial intelligence (AI) into teacher education and pedagogical supervision requires explanatory frameworks capable of clarifying how AI-generated feedback may support professional learning processes. Existing research has predominantly focused on technological adoption, implementation challenges, and user perceptions, while comparatively limited attention has been devoted to the cognitive and reflecti…

Well-being foundations of populism in Europe
Models of retrospective voting assume that voters’ preferences and choices depend on their subjective well-being, and thus, the belief that a particular candidate if elected, shall implement policies to improve it. We use this framework to address the populist phenomenon in Europe over the last 20 years. We find an inverse relationship between individual life satisfaction and self-reported support for populist parties (i.e., party identification)…

What Is Rural Well-Being and How Is It Measured? An Attempt to Order Chaos
While a substantial body of literature has been built on rural well-being, due to the great heterogeneity of rural territories, the literature is highly fragmented, even contradictory. Moreover, no systematic review of the entire domain exists to guide rural decision-makers. Debated conceptualization, contradicting results, and pressing policy requirements make it timely to deliver a systematized state-of-the-art on rural well-being to anchor pub…
Demystifying neurotourism
The academic discourse surrounding tourism's interdisciplinary approach has long piqued the interest of the scholarly community. More recently, attention has pivoted towards the intersection of neuroscience and neuromarketing within the realm of tourism, giving rise to the concept of “neurotourism”. This emergence requires a comprehensive elucidation of the relevance of neuromarketing and neuroscience to the field of tourism, thereby addressing t…

How have smartness cities responded to the pandemic? An empirical study
Covid-19
In all areas of knowledge, research has shown the devastating effects of COVID-19, and the impact on families' financial stress and well-being is one of them. Crises are predictors of families' financial stress as they produce changes in their income and negative feelings, such as fear and demotivation, which affect well-being. This study analyses the financial and social impact of COVID-19 on families, supported by the ABCE-WB model, with data c…

Exploring the Direct and Indirect Influence of Perceived Organizational Support on Affective Organizational Commitment
As a result of the pandemic and the consequent changes in labor market patterns, firms are facing a difficult moment in attracting and retaining talented employees. In these new patterns, remuneration factors are increasingly a necessary but not sufficient condition to address this challenge. Given this background, this study seeks to identify the role of perceived organizational support in affective organizational commitment. In order to achieve…
Accelerometry-Workload Indices Concerning Different Levels of Participation during Congested Fixture Periods in Professional Soccer
The aim of this study was to analyze the variations of acute load (AL), acute: chronic workload ratio (ACWR), training monotony (TM), and training strain (TS) of accelerometry-based GPS measures in players who started in three matches (S3M), two matches (S2M), and one match (S1M) during congested weeks. Nineteen elite professional male players from a Portuguese team (age: 26.5 ± 4.3 years) were monitored daily using global positioning systems (GP…
Dose-Response Relationships between Training Load Measures and Physical Fitness in Professional Soccer Players
The aim of this cohort study was two-fold: (i) to analyze within-group changes of final velocity in a 30-15 intermittent fitness test (V IFT ), final velocity in a Vameval test (V vameval ), 20-m sprint and countermovement jump (CMJ); (ii) to explore the relationships between V IFT and Vvameval outcomes and their changes with internal and external loads. Twenty-two professional soccer players (mean ± SD; age 27.2 ± 3.4 years, height 174.2 ± 3.6 c…
Weekly Variations in the Workload of Turkish National Youth Wrestlers
The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to describe the weekly acute workload (wAW), chronic workload (wCW), acute/chronic workload ratio (wACWR), training monotony (wTM), and strain (wTS) across the preparation season (PS), and (2) to analyze the variations of wAW, wCW, wACWR, wTM, and training strain (wTS) between periods of PS (early-, mid-, and end). Ten elite young wrestlers were monitored daily during the 32 weeks of the season. Internal loa…
Effects of a 10-Week Combined Coordination and Agility Training Program on Young Male Soccer Players
The current literature has shown how working on coordination and agility produces effects on specific aspects in team sports. The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a ten-week coordination training program applied to soccer on different tests that evaluate speed (30 m speed test), agility (Illinois Agility Test (IAT)) and lower body strength (countermovement jump (CMJ)). Forty U16 male soccer players from two nonprofessional team…
Associations between Physical Status and Training Load in Women Soccer Players
This study aimed to analyze the variations of fitness status, as well as test the relationships between accumulated training load and fitness changes in women soccer players. This study followed an observational analytic cohort design. Observations were conducted over 23 consecutive weeks (from the preseason to the midseason). Twenty-two women soccer players from the same first Portuguese league team (22.7 ± 5.21 years old) took part in the study…
Differences of Gender in Oral and Written Communication Apprehension of University Students
Oral and written skills are increasingly considered to be essential tools in the job market for the success of any worker, and are thus called soft skills. Nevertheless, most graduates who enter the labor market experience difficulties in the apprehension of communication, not only with regard to writing, but also in oral communication. These difficulties are also noticeable in the classroom, for instance when students need to participate by expr…

Performance and Training Load Profiles in Recreational Male Trail Runners
Endurance sports like trail running constitute an extensive individual modality causing numerous physiological changes to occur in the athlete. In this sense, an adequate monitoring of training load appears to be essential to improve competition performance. The aim of this study was two-fold: (i) to analyze trail runners' weekly load variations in the four weeks leading up to a trail running competition, and (ii) to determine the relationship be…
Variations of Workload Indices Prior to Injuries
The purpose of this study was to compare the variations of weekly workload indices of internal and external load measures across the three weeks prior to injury occurrences in trail runners. Twenty-five trail runners (age: 36.23 ± 8.30 years old; body mass: 67.24 ± 5.97 kg; height: 172.12 ± 5.12 cm) were monitored daily for 52 weeks using global positioning systems (GPSs) to determine the total distance covered. Additionally, a rate of perceived …
