Cooperative learning in green building demonstration projects:Insights from 30 innovative environmentally sustainable demonstrations around the world
Full text linkWithin the context of sustainable innovation in the building industry, the goal of this study is to investigate and discuss forms of cooperative learning in project organizations as an opportunity for realizing sustainable innovation. This paper analyzes 30 worldwide cases of sustainably innovative building projects, concentrating on the cooperative learning behavior of actors that ignite and contribute to sustainable building innovation. The analysis sheds light on three clusters of project organizations, their typical cooperative learning processes, and the cooperative sustainable learning effects achieved. Theoretically, this work contributes by suggesting an analytical model to study learning forms that support sustainable building innovation; practically, this study indicates that cooperative learning practices facilitate professionals, regardless of their role in project organizations, to be innovators in proposing and achieving green innovation in the construction engineering sector
Innovating products in the humanitarian sector: how to ensure adequate response in a challenging ecosystem,
No full textThe humanitarian sector requires innovation to enhance emergency response efficiency and effectiveness. This paper examines the sector’s unique challenges, including complex emergencies, specialized products, diverse actors, and barriers to innovation. To address these, UNHRD has revamped its approach, blending accelerator initiatives with design-driven activities via its Innovation Lab. A task force of academics and experts is developing a tailored workflow integrating product design and business process management to improve decision making. Efforts like market scouting, innovation contests, and in-house R&D aim to overcome current limitations,
fostering collaboration among stakeholders. This approach offers a more adaptive and inclusive innovation ecosystem

Interactions between STAT3 and BART
Full text linkSignal transducers and activators of transcription (STATs) mediate cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival in immune responses, hematopoiesis, neurogenesis, and other biological processes. STAT3, for example, is involved in the epithelialmesenchymal transition during gastrulation, organogenesis, wound healing, and cancer progression. STAT activity is regulated by a variety of mechanisms, including nuclear translocation. To clarify the molecular mechanisms underlying the regulation of STAT activity, we performed yeast two-hybrid screening. Here we identified BART (Binder of ADP-ribosylation factor-like Two) as a novel STAT-binding partner. Importantly, we showed that BART is essential for the transcriptional activity and nuclear retention of STAT3. Furthermore, an effector of BART, ADP-ribosylation factor-like 2 (ARL2) was also involved in nuclear retention of STAT3. These results indicate that BART plays an essential role in the nuclear retention of STAT3 through interaction with ARL2

The influence of knowledge flow on sustainable innovation in a project-based industry: From demonstration to limited adoption of eco-innovations
Full text linkThe effect of the flow of knowledge on sustainable innovation in project-based firms in project-based industries is the subject of in-depth research in this paper. It studies the simultaneous functioning and effects of knowledge flow mechanisms on sustainable innovation in project-based firms in project-based industries; industries like the construction-, film-, game-, consultancy-, and IT-industry. To this end, a retrospective case study, covering 20 years (1989–2008) of sustainable innovation in the Dutch house-building industry, is conducted. This study finds that bundles of knowledge flow mechanisms stimulate both sustainable innovation creation by small networks of innovative firms that cooperate in demonstration projects, as well as stimulates a limited adoption of some of these created sustainable innovations by networks of larger incumbent firms outside these demonstration projects. Based on this finding the paper proposes a model and related propositions. To scholars it can serve as a basis for future research that further explores and tests the effect of the flow of knowledge on the eco-innovativeness of industries that heavily rely on projects. The findings can also be of benefit for policy and business practitioners in and around project-based industries. To them it can provide a route for getting sustainable innovations applied on a larger scale, from demonstration projects to regular projects
Bart Moeyaert as writer, author, performer, and public figure : 'That's Also What Literature Can Be'
Full text linkThough only in his mid-fifties, Bart Moeyaert began his writing career over forty years ago, when at age thirteen. In the course of almost four decades as a published
author, Moeyaert’s views and writing practices have inevitably evolved. These developments can be attributed to personal experiences from living
through adolescence, young adulthood, and middle age, which include his increased independence from his family, influential encounters, and the development of his
career as an author and teacher. As a writer, he had the chance to experiment with new genres, topics, and writing styles, gradually growing into Belgium’s most acclaimed
children’s author and gaining international fame. In this article, I highlight four crucial experiences that transformed Bart Moeyaert’s views on children’s literature
and had an impact on his subsequent books: the influence of Aidan Chambers and his distinction between author and writer; the experience of writing primers with
specific, target-audience restraints; the pleasure of performing for a dual audience; and his mandate as Antwerp’s city poet, which provoked a reflection on the writer as a
public figure. What these experiences have in common is that they produced a tension between Moeyaert’s personal and artistic desires on the one hand and considerations for
his readership and broader social needs on the other. As such, this article seeks to contribute to a better understanding of Moeyaert’s developing poetics and diverse oeuvre, and to consider how an author’s growing age and concomitant experiences can influence their views and work
