Being one of the largest industries, the agricultural sector is central to achieving EU and UN sustainability goals. However, the role of sustainable business model innovation (SBMI) in low-tech sectors, such as agriculture, remains empirically underexplored, as existing research has largely focused on high-tech industries and large firms. The paper addresses this gap by examining how SBMI can sup

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore experiences and challenges in handling feedback and criticism among early career surgeons. Design: This study is part of a prospective, exploratory, longitudinal study evaluating surgical residents throughout residency. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with medical doctors applying to a locum or residency position in a surgical specialty. An

This study introduces the concept of Collective Permanent Supportive Housing (CPSH), tailored for older adults with histories of homelessness and long-term substance use. CPSH offers residents individual apartments and secure tenures, using a harm reduction approach. The study, being designed to identify the benefits and risks of CPSH, was based on (i) a quantitative dataset with a national survey

Seagrass meadows are vital habitats, modifying hydrodynamic energy flows and sustaining biodiversity in the benthic environment. As such, there is a growing interest in using seagrass as a nature-based solution for coastal adaptation. However, planting seagrass in hydrodynamically exposed environments is challenging, and the trajectories and timescales of biodiversity recovery are not well studied

Pituitary tumours, originating from endocrine cells of the anterior pituitary, are quite common, and in most cases well-controlled by surgery or medical treatment. However, a small subset of pituitary tumours presents with multiple local recurrences or tumour progression despite combined surgical, medical or radiotherapeutic treatment. These are known as aggressive pituitary tumours (APT); also ca

Membrane technology plays a crucial role in food by-product valorization, especially in protein recovery. Initially applied to whey protein extraction from cheese production, it enabled the concentration and purification of whey, leading to the production of protein concentrates and isolates. This success was extended to other animal proteins like blood plasma, fish proteins, and albumen.With a gr

The retreat of the modern liberal order in contemporary democracies can be understood as co-constituted with the normalisation of the far right. The far right has increasingly accessed the political ‘mainstream’ through the enabling of erstwhile-disavowing centre-right and right-wing counterparts. In contexts of political ‘victory’, the identity (re)formation of these mainstream right-wing subject

Enabling journeys from door-to-door is an essential part of attracting people towards public transport and away from the private car. Facilitating such journeys requires comprehensive and integrated planning across modal and spatial boundaries. Public transport governance, however, is often constrained by fragmented, multi-level structures and regulatory barriers that limit the ability of responsi

The benefits of related variety on regional employment growth have become a prevailing view. However, these remain potential benefits unless channels (e.g. labour flows, inter-firm cooperation) and regional capabilities are in place to convert them into actual growth. This paper focuses on the labour mobility channel and proposes a way to measure the realized part of related variety. It demonstrat

District heating and cooling systems have been undergoing continuous development and have now reached the fifth-generation. In this innovative technology, connected buildings share local excess energy that otherwise would be wasted, which consequently reduces primary energy demands and carbon emissions. To date, the issue of implementing fifth-generation district systems on existing buildings has

Forced migration has dramatically increased around the world during the last decade. Integration, including health and work among migrants, is an important topic in many European countries; thus, it is crucial to develop relevant approaches to address challenges that arise in tandem with migration and work. Nature-based intervention is one such approach that addresses different kinds of challenges

What happens to dominant narratives and settled self-images of so-called peace nations when experiencing actual combat in out-of-area military missions? This question arises when studying the contemporary international engagement of small states that previously have mostly been engaged in peacekeeping with limited mandates and non-use of force restrictions. As today's international missions have a

Cancer is a highly heterogeneous disease caused by dysregulation in different cell types and tissues. However, different cancers may share common mechanisms. It is critical to identify decisive genes involved in the development and progression of cancer, and joint analysis of multiple cancers may help to discover overlapping mechanisms among different cancers. In this study, we proposed a fusion f

Fluctuations of neuronal activities in the brain may underlie relatively slow components of neurofunctional alterations, which can be modulated by food intake and related systemic metabolic statuses. Glutamatergic neurotransmission plays a major role in the regulation of excitatory tones in the central nervous system, although just how dietary elements contribute to the tuning of this system remai
