- The effects of country governance quality on corporate sustainability and ethical behaviourPublication . Francisco, Paulo MoraisUsing institutional theory, we examine how country governance affects two ESG outcomes: ESG performance and ESG controversies. With Refinitiv/LSEG data for ~146,000 firm‐years in 86 countries (2002–2023) and World Bank WGI, we apply a Mundlak within/between decomposition to test complementarity versus substitution (performance) and prevention versus detection (controversies). Better governance is strongly associated with higher ESG performance—overall and across E, S and G—especially cross‐country. Yet governance also predicts more reported controversies, consistent with detection/visibility rather than worse conduct. Instrumental Variable and DiD tests corroborate these results. JEL Classification: D02, M14, Q56, C23
- Opportunistic data for assessing abundance and site fidelity of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) in the Faro area, PortugalPublication . Gennari, Ginevra; Rodrigues, Alfredo; Carvalho, Pedro; Gil, Susana; Magno, Ramiro; Castilho, Rita; Peres dos Santos, Rui PedroThe distribution and migration of fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) remain poorly understood in parts of the North Atlantic. One of these regions is the Algarve in southern Portugal, which is shaped by seasonal upwelling and the exchange of Atlantic and Mediterranean waters. This area represents a potentially critical yet poorly understood habitat for this species. This study presents the first comprehensive assessment of fin whale abundance and site fidelity in the Faro area, located approximately between 36–37° N and 8–7° W. Data was collected from 2020 to 2024 through photoidentification and GPS vessel tracks, in collaboration with a local whale-watching company. A regional catalog of 86 individuals was established, and an open spatially explicit capture-recapture model estimated a population of 1.476 individuals. Sightings peaked in spring, likely linked to phytoplankton blooms and foraging opportunities. While re-sighting rates were low, some individuals returned across years, indicating possible seasonal site fidelity. Our results demonstrate the value of data collected from platforms of opportunity in an under-surveyed region, providing a foundation for ongoing monitoring efforts. Results also highlight the Faro area’s ecological relevance as a seasonal feeding ground for fin whales and offer insights to support future conservation in the eastern North Atlantic.
- A trama viva como ontoepistemologia pedagógica situada: fenomenologia social e educação intergeracional na Universidade da Maturidade (UMA/UFT) na Amazônia LegalPublication . Souza, Marileide Carvalho de; Osório, Neila Barbosa; Neto, Luiz Sinésio da Silva; Santos, Jocyléia Santana; de Pinho, Maria José; Jesus, Djanires Lageano Neto de; Pocinho, Ricardo; Rech, Nair GonçalvesEste artigo investiga os significados das práticas pedagógicas intergeracionais desenvolvidas na Universidade da Maturidade da Universidade Federal do Tocantins (UMA/UFT), à luz da fenomenologia social de Alfred Schutz, com ênfase na Trama Viva, ontoepistemologia pedagógica situada concebida e desenvolvida por Neila Barbosa Osório ao longo de vinte anos de práxis pedagógica em vinte e dois polos e com mais de sete mil e quinhentos sujeitos formados. A pesquisa adota abordagem qualitativa de inspiração fenomenológica e articula a fenomenologia husserliana, a fenomenologia social de Schutz, a fenomenologia da corporeidade de Merleau-Ponty, a pedagogia crítica de Paulo Freire e bell hooks, bem como os fundamentos metodológicos do método fenomenológico descritivo de Amedeo Giorgi. O campo empírico abrange seis polos da UMA/UFT no Tocantins (Palmas, ianópolis, Tocantínia, Araguaína, Tocantinópolis e Brejinho de Nazaré), com horizonte comparativo projetado para o Polo de Soure, em Portugal. Os dados foram produzidos por meio de 35 entrevistas fenomenológicas, rodas de memória, observação participante e diário de campo. Os resultados revelam que as práticas pedagógicas intergeracionais da UMA/UFT se constituem como experiências de construção intersubjetiva de sentidos, nas quais memória, narrativa, corporeidade, território e pertencimento se entrelaçam, promovendo a ressignificação do envelhecer, a legitimação dos saberes da experiência, a reconstrução biográfica dos participantes, a destipificação do etarismo e a ampliação do sentimento de pertencimento à universidade e à comunidade. Concluise nesse período de qualificação pelas pesquisas realizadas, que a educação intergeracional, quando fundamentada na fenomenologia social e mediada pela Trama Viva, constitui prática de liberdade, humanização, reconhecimento e produção de conhecimento.
- Population-level transcriptomic datasets from two benthic invertebrates exposed to long-term experimental warming and acidificationPublication . Kaitetzidou, Elisavet; Markomanolaki, Harris; Paone, Carlotta; Fabiano, Francesco; Chatzinikolaou, Eva; Dailianis, ThanosOcean warming and acidification are major drivers of change in marine ecosystems, with particularly strong impacts on low-mobility benthic organisms. Despite their ecological importance, genomic and transcriptomic resources from sponges (Phylum, Porifera) and marine gastropods (Phylum, Mollusca) that capture responses to long-term, combined climate stressors and population-level variability remain limited. Herein, we present population-level RNA-seq datasets from the sponge Chondrilla nucula and the gastropod Hexaplex trunculus, collected from northern and southern Aegean Sea (eastern Mediterranean) populations and exposed for three months to elevated temperature and reduced pH in a common-garden experiment simulating near-future climate change conditions. The datasets comprise high-quality paired-end Illumina reads, a complete de novo transcriptome assembly for C. nucula and genome-guided alignments for H. trunculus. These datasets provide a valuable resource for investigating transcriptional plasticity and climate change resilience in benthic marine invertebrates.
