- Reframing digital disengagementPublication . Shuqair, Saleh; Pinto, Diego Costa; Wagner, Rafael Luis; Boto Ferreira, Mário; Dhillon, Gurpreet; Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management School; NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS); ELSEVIER SCI LTDPeople often struggle to regulate their digital technology use, and many existing interventions, such as screen-time limits and digital detox programs, rely on external restrictions with mixed and often short-term effects. This research extends research on technology overuse by examining how consumers experience technology disengagement contingent to active mindsets of self-regulation: either as externally imposed and loss-based or as self-endorsed and gain-based. In particular, we examine through the lens of the Joy of Missing Out (JOMO), conceptualized as a positive mindset toward digital disengagement, in contrast to the Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). Drawing on self-determination and regulatory focus theories, we propose that JOMO enhances state authenticity, which in turn strengthens perceived technology freedom and supports digital self-regulation. Across four studies using a multi-method research design (including a text-mining study of 210,706 YouTube comments, two preregistered experiments, and a two-week field intervention), we find convergent support for this account. Findings suggest that JOMO increases state authenticity, which in turn enhances perceived technology freedom, digital well-being, and lowers social media usage. These findings contribute to research on digital well-being, authenticity, and technology overuse by showing that digital disengagement depends on specific self-regulatory mindsets and is more effective when it is experienced as self-endorsed (JOMO) rather than externally imposed (FOMO). Practical interventions for mitigating digital dependency using JOMO (vs. FOMO) mindsets are also discussed.
- Labor market concentration, wages, and job security in EuropePublication . Bassanini, Andrea; Bovini, Giulia; Caroli, Eve; Casanova-Ferrando, Jorge; Cingano, Federico; Falco, Paolo; Felgueroso, Florentino; Jansen, Marcel; Martins, Pedro Silva; Melo, Antonio; Oberfichtner, Michael; Popp, Martin; NOVA School of Business and Economics (NOVA SBE); University of Wisconsin PressWe leverage administrative linked employer–employee data from six European countries to provide the first comparable cross-country evidence on the impact of labor market concentration on wages and job security. We find strikingly similar and relatively low wage elasticities across countries, but greater elasticities for job security, as measured by contract type. We provide suggestive evidence that the similarity of our wage elasticities and the greater sensitivity of job security to labor market concentration may be explained by the fact that sector-level collective bargaining is dominant in the countries we study and that it sets wages but usually not contract type.
- Ne me quitte pas!Publication . Fernandes, Marli; Tavares, José; NOVA School of Business and Economics (NOVA SBE); Oxford University PressThis article analyzes the causal impact of school closures on electoral outcomes in France between 1995 and 2022. Using a difference-in-differences design, we show that the closure of the only school in a given municipality leads to an increase in 0.527 percentage points in votes for the populist far right and 0.968 percentage points for the left in presidential elections. Voters prefer the populist far right when their pre-existing levels of trust in mainstream parties are low. The identified electoral effects are absent in municipalities with multiple schools, suggesting that citizens are particularly concerned with the lack of access to public education.

Interpretive and non-statistical compendium of technological disorders (vol II) is a choral volume—the second in a trilogy—that aims to reflect on the most pressing contemporary issues related to new technologies, bringing together some of the most authoritative voices on the international scene alongside those of young emerging authors and researchers, thus composing a transgenerational compendium that is essential for anyone who wants to explore and deepen their understanding of contemporary technological issues from a multidisciplinary perspective (philosophical, political, artistic, cultural, anthropological, gender, postcolonial, ecological, psychoanalytical, and neuroscientific).
- Rethinking Trust in Synthetic Health DataPublication . Declerck, Jens; Kalra, Dipak; Airola, Antti; Amer, Ahmed Youssef Ali; Chatzichristos, Christos; Pereira, Maria del Mar Mañur; Robalo, Bruno M. de Brito; Ghini, Francesco; Gutierrez-Torre, Alberto; Hoogteijling, Sem; Hultsch, Susanne; Ramon, Jan; Reidel, Sara; Regazzoni, Francesco; Silva, Luís; Silveira, Inês; Sofia, Tsekeridou; Maes, Christophe; LIBPhys-UNL; JMIR PublicationsSynthetic data generation (SDG) structured health data is increasingly promoted as a solution to longstanding barriers in health data access. It is offering the promise of privacy-preserving data reuse for research, innovation, and policy. Despite rapid technical advances, the adoption of synthetic health data in real-world settings remains limited. Shaped by challenges around data quality, representativeness, infrastructure readiness, trust, and legal uncertainty, this viewpoint draws on experiences from 7 European research initiatives within the HealthData4EU cluster to reflect on how SDG is being operationalized in practice. It synthesizes cross-project insights to highlight recurring methodological and governance tensions and to examine their implications for trust and responsible use. The analysis argues that trustworthy SDG cannot be achieved through technical optimization alone but requires alignment between evaluation practices, upstream data stewardship, regulatory clarity, and sustained stakeholder engagement. Addressing these conditions is essential for moving synthetic data from experimental pilots toward a credible and sustainable component of European health research ecosystems.
- Mechanochemically Driven Synthesis of Anticancer CocrystalsPublication . Carvalho, Ana C. S.; Duarte, M. Teresa; Gomes, Clara S. B.; Sarraguça, Mafalda; Bacchi, Alessia; Prencipe, Michele; Gieling, Job; Shemchuk, Natalia; Baier, Daniel M.; Robeyns, Koen; Polyzois, Hector; Tajber, Lidia; Chatzigiannis, Christos M.; Colacino, Evelina; Leyssens, Tom; André, Vânia; LAQV@REQUIMTE; WileyThe modulation of physicochemical properties through the discovery of new solid forms has attracted significant interest in the pharmaceutical industry. Herein, a novel cocrystal of lenalidomide with quercetin was designed upon crystal engineering principles. Bearing in mind the importance of developing sustainable methods for the pharmaceutical industry, the synthesis of the novel cocrystals was explored by different mechanochemical approaches and slurry techniques for comparison purposes. Thus, the cocrystal was produced by liquid-assisted grinding in ball milling, liquid-assisted resonant acoustic mixing, and the slurry method. All the methods yielded the same final form with similar properties. From the point of view of properties enhancement, solubility studies showed that the cocrystal exhibited lower solubility than that of pure lenalidomide under simulated conditions of gastric and intestinal fluids, suggesting that the cocrystal may function as an extended-release form of lenalidomide. Furthermore, this cocrystal remained stable under accelerated stability conditions, indicating that atmospheric relative humidity does not represent a risk for the handling or storage of these compounds in the solid state.
- Continuous Business Process Improvement Driven by Large Language ModelsPublication . Araújo, Anderson S.; Mamede, Henrique S.; Santos, Vítor; Filipe, Vítor; Information Management Research Center (MagIC) - NOVA Information Management School; NOVA Information Management School (NOVA IMS); Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)Some of the main challenges faced by organizations when applying Continuous Business Process Improvement are data fragmentation, limited explainability, weak governance, and the isolated use of Artificial Intelligence in Business Process Management. This study initially conducts a Systematic Literature Review on the topic of business process improvement enabled by Large Language Models or Artificial Intelligence in organizations, presenting a comprehensive analysis of prevailing research trends, conceptual frameworks, and persistent limitations, identifying seventeen recurring gaps that affect the effectiveness of integrating the capabilities of Large Language Models and other Artificial Intelligence technologies throughout the entire lifecycle of Continuous Business Process Improvement. As a result, we propose a Framework and its gap-oriented reference architecture that, through modular components, facilitates data integration, reasoning, validation, execution, and monitoring within a closed loop of continuous business process improvement. The framework is operationalized through six phases: Process Understanding, Process Diagnosis, Process Redesign, Process Validation, Process Execution Support, and Continuous Monitoring. The results suggest that designing the framework and architecture directly from the identified gaps creates a coherent foundation for AI-driven process improvement, enabling more reliable, explainable, and easily governed and managed solutions. The study improves the current state of the art by creating a cohesive framework for intelligent, scalable, lifecycle-integrated, and operationally deployable process optimization systems.
- Sibling spillovers and free schoolingPublication . Ferreira, João R.; Sandholtz, Wayne Aaron; NOVA School of Business and Economics (NOVA SBE); Elsevier Science B.V., Amsterdam.We use administrative data to measure sibling spillovers on academic performance before and after the introduction of Free Secondary Education (FSE) in Tanzania. Prior to FSE, students whose older siblings narrowly passed the secondary school entrance exam were less likely to go to secondary school themselves; with FSE, the effect became positive. A triple-differences analysis, using geographic variation in FSE exposure, shows that FSE caused the reversal. Mechanism analyses suggest that changes in parental investments were a more likely channel for this reversal than direct sibling interactions. By alleviating financial constraints, FSE allowed households to invest in more children.
- Infant mortality expectation and fertility behavior in rural MalawiPublication . Delavande, Adeline; Kohler, Hans Peter; Vergili, Ali; NOVA School of Business and Economics (NOVA SBE); Paa Population Association of AmericaFor decades, population research has been interested in the complex relationship between child mortality and fertility, with a key focus on identifying hoarding behavior (i.e., fertility response to expected aggregate child mortality). Using unique data from the Malawi Longitudinal Study of Families and Health, we investigate the impact of individual-specific subjective expectations about infant mortality on fertility behavior. We instrument the potentially endogenous infant mortality expectations with the average of parents' ratings of children's health to address the potential for omitted variable bias, such as parental preference for health. Consistent with the hoarding mechanism, we find that a 10-percentage-point increase in community-level child mortality expectations leads to a 14-percentage-point increase in the propensity to have a child in the next two years from a baseline propensity of 39%.
