In 2013, following an AOM workshop on “Social Entrepreneurship and Broader Theories,” we published essays challenging dominant economic, business, and entrepreneurship concepts. We revisit them to reflect on the field’s evolution and remaining gaps. Two essays take a macro perspective, exploring adaptive societies and the tragedy of the commons. Two examine the managerial level, discussing limited practical imp...
Efforts to address anthropogenic climate change have been focused sensibly on mitigation and adaptation. However, given the difficulties in the implementation of a rapid global mitigation process, increasing attention is being given to geoengineering as a way to countervail some of the climate change impacts. This development has increased the private investment in geoengineering research in the last few years,...
A prova de ADN permite estabelecer correspondências entre vestígios de cena de crime e indivíduos identificados, que vem adquirindo um peso crescente na investigação criminal e na justiça criminal. A sua relevância levou à criação e implementação de bases de dados de perfis de ADN, tornando-se uma ferramenta de governação e de apoio à investigação criminal à escala global. Não obstante os estudos já realizados ...
Nos últimos quatro anos, trabalhos de investigação, conjugados com outros de carácter preventivo, permitiram redefinir o conhecimento existente sobre o Bronze Final do Sudoeste Peninsular, em particular na área ocupada pela bacia do Médio Guadiana, em ambas as margens do rio, no território alentejano. De facto, a par do já assinalado povoamento de altura, com ou sem fortificações, registam-se ocupações de planí...
O presente artigo pretende constituir-se como uma revisão dos dados referentes à necrópole da I Idade do Ferro de Palhais, apresentada de forma preliminar em 2009, em função do estudo da totalidade do conjunto artefactual que lhe está associado e do conhecimento, hoje aumentado, da realidade funerária de cronologia sidérica da região envolvente de Beja (Baixo Alentejo). Efectua-se uma análise mais aturada das r...
Almost 25 years after Dees’ article on the meaning of social entrepreneurship, conceptual controversy persists. Based on a qualitative analysis of 209 definitions of social entrepreneurship and respective academic articles, we argue that the concept follows a family resemblance structure and identify the 12 distinct attributes that comprehensively define it. Membership in social entrepreneurship is not defined ...
Numerous policies have been proposed by international and supranational institutions, such as the European Union, to surveil Earth from space and furnish indicators of environmental conditions across diverse scenarios. In tandem with these policies, different initiatives, particularly on both sides of the Atlantic, have emerged to provide valuable data for environmental management such as the concept of essenti...
Significant advances have been achieved in multilateral negotiations regarding human development and environmental safeguarding since the 1972 UN Stockholm Conference. There is much greater global awareness and action towards sustainability. However, sustainability has persistently been sidelined, leading to the identification and definition of a transgressed “safe and just space for humanity”. Here we develop ...
The Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming hinges on forest carbon sequestration as a key in several national strategies. However, Portugal’s rising forest fire occurrences threaten its ability to meet ambitious 2030 and 2050 carbon sequestration targets. Considering fire and forest trends, this study aims to quantify whether Portugal can reach its carbon sequestration ambitions as stated in its 2030...
