Abstract
Entrepreneurs’ decision-making in sustainable open innovation practices holds significant relevance in fostering environmentally conscious and socially responsible business strategies. Sustainable decision-making not only aligns with ethical principles but also addresses pressing global challenges such as climate change and resource depletion. This study aims to characterize the decision-making role played by entrepreneurs in the context of the open innovation paradigm and to understand the factors that influence entrepreneurial performance. A quantitative methodology supported by Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling was adopted, considering a sample of 407 startups incubated in science and technology parks. After that, a mixed-methods approach was employed to explore the differences between sectors of activity, in which 4 ventures were involved. The results confirm that of the 9 hypotheses formulated in the relationship between the constructs, only innovation novelty is not significant for sustainable open innovation management processes, unlike innovation openness. This study offers theoretical and practical implications for startups that intend to use open innovation networks to integrate environmental and social considerations into the core of business strategies.

Abstract
This study provides a comprehensive overview of the automated assembly process of large-scale metal structures using industrial robots. Our research reveals that the utilization of industrial robots significantly enhances precision, speed, and cost-effectiveness in the assembly process. The main findings suggest that integrating industrial robots in metal structure assembly holds substantial promise for optimizing manufacturing processes and elevating the quality of the final products. Additionally, the research demonstrates that robotic automation in assembly operations can lead to significant improvements in resource utilization and operational consistency. This automation also offers a viable solution to the challenges of manual labor shortages and ensures a higher standard of safety and accuracy in the manufacturing environment.

Abstract
The key question that will be addressed in this research is whether advertising narratives feature initiatives within the ESG - Environment, Social and Governance - framework. Investors increasingly value companies that promote sustainable impact actions, something that the promoting companies report in detail in their ESG reports directed at corporate stakeholders. To identify and understand how brands present such initiatives to the consumer market, we checked campaigns awarded with the Golden Lion of Advertising at Cannes 2022. The methodological cut involved three award categories, being analyzed 19 campaigns from 10 different countries. Besides the bibliographical survey on discourse analysis and content analysis, this exploratory qualitative and quantitative research had the inductive method to direct the individual analysis of each campaign. As a result, we identified that more than half of the campaigns address aspects related to ESG initiatives, being the social scope addressed by most of the campaigns. A result that provokes new hypotheses and possibilities of research continuity.

Abstract
Carbon dioxide (CO2) holds paramount significance in nature, serving as a vital component in Earth's ecosystems. Its evaluation has become increasingly important across various sectors, spanning from environmental conservation to industrial operations. Therefore, this study investigates the viability of utilizing a pH colorimetric dye as a CO2-sensitive material. The material's effectiveness relies on chemical modifications induced in the dye structure through the action of a phase transfer agent, which establishes a stable equilibrium with the dye, thereby promoting its receptivity to CO2 molecules. As the resulting physicochemical changes primarily exhibit colorimetric alterations, an optical system was developed to assess the performance of this material upon exposure to CO2. Employing a dual-wavelength method, the system also incorporates a ratiometric relationship between the two signals to provide the most precise information. The conducted experiments generated promising results when the dye was subjected to varying concentrations of CO2, ranging from 0% to 4%, in comparison to nitrogen (N-2). The application of the ratiometric method emerged as a crucial factor in this system, enabling its potential use in environments characterized by instability. Finally, the dye-sensitive characteristics experienced enhancement through the integration of an ionic liquid within the membrane matrix.

Abstract
Numerous studies in waste management propose solutions to the Waste Collection Problem, often focusing on constraints such as time windows and truck capacity. Travel times between points play a vital role in optimizing waste collection. However, the methods for determining them are frequently omitted. Another parameter that has a great influence on waste collection is the time window. Here, the impact of time windows and travel times on the capacitated waste collection problem with time windows solution was assessed for collecting three waste types. Surprisingly, travel times were found to have minimal influence on route optimization, while time windows significantly affected the algorithm's ability to identify the most efficient collection route. Addressing these considerations is crucial for practical application and improving the performance of waste collection algorithms in real-world contexts.

Abstract
Following the lack of existing studies about the applications development and use in the event industry, this research aims to analyze the use of applications as a tool to improve event communication. The methodology used includes an exploratory method. This research methodology is based on a review of the literature, a semi-structured interview with the CEO of the company and a case study with participant observation of the French start-up Invent App which provides event applications. The study demonstrate that the event app use allows to ease the event organization, to improve the event communication but also the interactivity and the participant engagement. All of this, increasing the customer experience but also having a part in the customer digital experience improvement. Event applications could be thus considered as amarketing and event communication tool. The research has the limitation to its application within a single company in France. Furthermore, the point of viewadopted is the one of the event organizers and not the event participant one. This research helped to better understand the role that event applications can have in the event industry and particularly in the communication around an event. In addition, this made it possible to understand the perception of market requirements and the characteristics expected of an event application.
