Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The Social and Solidarity Economy (SSE) offers strong potential for sustainable development in low‐income regions, yet its enterprises often operate with scarce resources, weak monitoring systems, and limited visibility. These constraints hinder both their capacity to demonstrate contributions to sustainable development (SD) and their own ...

The Path to Neutrality: Evaluating Carbon Offsetting Strategies Among Spanish Corporations
Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines how offset project characteristics and financial conditions shape the intensity of corporate carbon offsetting in voluntary carbon markets (VCMs). Focusing on a Southern European context, the analysis draws on a longitudinal panel of 357 Spanish firms observed between 2019 and 2022.

Sustainable Development, EarlyView.ABSTRACT ‘Hard’ natural sciences have extensively been used to provide evidence that climate change is happening and climate action is needed. If the contribution of our economic activities to disturbing our climate systems is now largely accepted, the way in which we design and operationalise ‘climate action’—how we transition to more sustainable ...

Generative AI—the Transgression of Technology
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article offers a systems‐theoretical analysis of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) grounded in Niklas Luhmann's sociology of technology. It addresses a central conceptual problem: How GenAI can be understood within a theoretical framework that has traditionally defined technology as a means of stabilising action through causal ...

System as a Unifying Process: An Onto‐Epistemic Notion of System
Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This article proposes an onto‐epistemic notion of system as a relational process of unifying a multiplicity of actuals and abstractions into an actual unity, thereby encompassing concreteness and abstraction onto the same plane. This notion rejects the opposition between constructivism and realism within systems studies, the excessive focus on

In this paper, we focus on the body of work of one of the then newly established state‐owned design offices, IPARTERV, to show how the isolation ...

Constructing Difference: Maternal Boundary‐Work in Science‐Based and Natural Mom Groups on Facebook
Symbolic Interaction, EarlyView.Boundary‐work describes the activities of social groups as they seek to differentiate themselves from others to establish credibility, authority, or to protect their interests. While a growing body of literature explores occupational boundary‐work in health care, limited research has focused on how lay actors practice boundary‐work online.

A Systems‐Level Approach to Address Risks and Ethics in Artificial Intelligence Systems
Systems Engineering, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the world, from completely controlling routine or mundane tasks like text and image generation, to powering advanced algorithms that control critical systems. The recent advances in generative AI quickly overwhelmed multiple industries from education to finance as first adopters rushed (and ...
