This study presents a systematic literature review aimed at mapping the main areas of study on the relationship between higher education institutions' strategic alliances and sustainable entrepreneurship. To that end, it carried out three complementary analyses: topic mapping, co-citation, and overlay visualization, in order to provide a comprehensive picture of that relationship from 1994 to 2022. The empirical approach is based on a total sample of 207 articles published in the Web of Science database, which was screened in terms of title, abstract and keywords, and subject to a search protocol involving inclusion and exclusion criteria. Using VOSviewer software, a three-pronged approach is used to identify five topic clusters: (1) The impact of entrepreneurship on community sustainability and social innovation; (2) Strategic alliances for sustainable development, innovation, and performance; (3) Value creation through social entrepreneurship partnerships; (4) Challenges for knowledge-based sustainable cities; and (5) Collaboration between businesses and social enterprises; revealing the role of knowledge, co-creation, sustainable entrepreneurship, and social innovation as levers of sustainable development. As a result of this systematic literature review, a holistic research framework is proposed, positioning sustainable entrepreneurship as a priority target for strategic alliances in higher education institutions, with reference to the experience of implementing the European University concept. This framework helps to position joint cooperation and strategic alliances among the major stakeholders in knowledge-based economies, which frequently leads to knowledge-based development based on sustainable entrepreneurship.

Genotyping Genebank Collections: Strategic Approaches and Considerations for Optimal Collection Management.

Plants (Basel)

January 2025

United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service Small Grains and Potato Germplasm Research, Aberdeen, ID 83210, USA.

The maintenance of plant germplasm and its genetic diversity is critical to preserving and making it available for food security, so this invaluable diversity is not permanently lost due to population growth and development, climate change, or changing needs from the growers and/or the marketplace. There are numerous genebanks worldwide that serve to preserve valuable plant germplasm for humankind's future and to serve as a resource for research, breeding, and training. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) National Plant Germplasm System (NPGS) and the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research (CGIAR) both have a network of plant germplasm collections scattered across varying geographical locations preserving genetic resources for the future.

Ambitious policies are urgently needed to protect human health from the impacts of climate change. Civil society, including researchers and advocates, can help advance such policies by communicating with policy makers. In this scoping review, we examined what is known about effectively communicating with policy makers to encourage them to act on public health, climate change, or their nexus.

The undertold story: A leadership program to expand recognition of the importance of early childhood experiences.

Infant Ment Health J

January 2025

Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, School of Medicine, Tulane University, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.

There are considerable data documenting the importance of early experiences for healthy human development. Though widely accepted amongst mental health clinicians, developmental researchers and early childhood policymakers, this information is not well known by much of the public. We describe a specialized program designed for established and emerging leaders in Louisiana, United States of America, to help them become better informed to take action to support young children and their families and to facilitate connections across sectors for greater impact.

The Drosophila intrinsically disordered protein Ultrabithorax (Ubx) undergoes a series of phase transitions, beginning with noncovalent interactions between apparently randomly organized monomers, and evolving over time to form increasingly ordered coacervates. This assembly process ends when specific dityrosine covalent bonds lock the monomers in place, forming macroscale materials. Inspired by this hierarchical, multistep assembly process, we analyzed the impact of protein concentration, assembly time, and subphase composition on the early, noncovalent stages of Ubx assembly, which are extremely sensitive to their environment.

Background: The objective of this study was to determine the conditioning factors for scientific research productivity in university students of health sciences.Scientific productivity, in addition to making visible the generation of new knowledge, contributes to the well-being of the population and provides feedback to the scientific community in terms of methodologies, perspectives and results that help to break down barriers that delimit productivity in scientific research.

Methods: A cross-sectional analytical observational study was conducted.
