Guest Editorial: Challenges and Opportunities in Sports Management and Marketing

This guest editorial introduces a special issue focused on the "Challenges and Opportunities in Sports Management and Marketing." We're exploring how the world of sports is changing and what that means for how we manage and market sports. The editorial gives an overview of what we'll be talking about, like how technology is affecting sports and how we can make sports more sustainable. We will also look at things like how cities build places for sports and how sports can attract tourists. In this issue, we have three articles that dive deeper into these topics. The first article by Bojan Jorgič examines the challenges and opportunities in developing sports infrastructure in Bratislava, Slovakia, with a focus on sustainability. Then, Behnam Oboudi's article investigates how gender influences attention to advertising during football matches. Lastly, Tianxiao Cao's article explores the mutual development of sports brands and tourism, using the World Cup in Qatar as a case study. By bringing together different ideas and research, and proposing future reseach directions and perspectives, this special issue aims to help everyone involved in sports better understand what's happening and what we can do about it.

Introduction

It is my pleasure to introduce Volume 25, No. 2 of Enterprise and Society. In this issue, we are pleased to present a special section on “Corporate Responses to Racial Unrest,” guest-edited by Michael Thate and Tyesha Maddox. The section commences with a scene-setting introduction from the guest editors, followed by three papers. The first is from Keith Hollingsworth on the aftermath of the Atlanta race riot of 1906, followed by Mattie Webb on an exercise in the art of the possible, waging the battle against Apartheid in South African workplaces. This section is rounded off by Sethulego Matebesi’s exploration of responses to civil society mobilization among South African mining companies. Taken together, these four essays break important new ground and indicate promising lines of future research.

Foreword for the special issue: “Decision-Making Models for Common Goods in Environmental, Health, and Logistics Contexts”

We present the scientific results of the call for papers in SEPS titled ’Decision-Making Models for Common Goods in Environmental, Health, and Logistics Contexts.’ As guest editors in Socio-economic Planning Sciences (SEPS), we describe the domain of our academic initiative and present the collected papers. Interestingly, our collection includes papers employing various methodologies such as multi-criteria decision making, game theory, operations research, microeconomics, computational models and insurance mathematics. We received more than fifty submissions from Asia, Europe and America. However, only thirteen papers were accepted for publication in SEPS. This demonstrates the extensive investigation of the problem of common goods and the ongoing academic debate surrounding it.

Preface

The only certainty is that conditions always change. Change is necessary for life to exist and to be capable of correctly perceiving changes is essential for adapting to new conditions. In an era of rapid environmental change, resilience has become a critical aspect of a sustainable built environment (Architecture and urban design). Resilience is the key of adaptability to maintain continuity. Sustainability itself must not last forever, but one that can easily adapt to future uncertainty.Architecture and urban design are claimed to play a significant role in the deterioration of environmental quality regarding its resilience and sustainability. High intervention in natural habitats for infrastructure propose, poor energy conservation design, lack of accessibility for a wide range of users, and minimum anticipation of immediate change are the small pieces of many architectural and urban design practices that worsen the environmental quality.Many attempts have been to reduce this global phenomenon by incorporating government top-down policies and practitioner bottom-up strategies. Since 2015, the United Nations, specifically through SDGs 11 and 13, dedicated itself to promoting a more sustainable and resilient future for the environment. Practitioners and academics also contribute to initiating and implementing environment-oriented approaches, both in practice and research. Nevertheless, the engagement and collaboration among practitioners, stakeholders, academics, and the community still need to enhance in providing more comprehensive and impactful benefits. These steps are important because the built environments are the products of human work and become the systems that organize human life itself, thus its design should be the solution when preparing for the uncertainty of what comes in the future.International Conference on Architecture Research and Design (AR+DC) is an annual event organized by the Department of Architecture, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember. This international event was first initiated in 2009 and has invited academics, researchers, and professionals from a wide range of expertise and fields. For years, AR+DC topics focused on architecture and its related subjects, such as architecture design, architectural theory, history, and criticism, environmental architecture, housing and settlement, and urban design. In 2023 the conference theme is “Architecture and Urban Resilience: Sustainability through Adaptation.” This conference addresses the following themes: Resilient and Liveable Cities, Resilient Architectural Design and Practice, Resilient Housing and Settlement, Theoretical, Historical, and critical perspectives of resilient Architecture and urban design, Resilient Buildings and Technology, and other Topics.To commemorate Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS) 63rd Anniversary on November 10th, 2023, this year ARDC 2023 will be held concurrently with the CIVPLAN International Conference (CIC). The CIC, organized by the Faculty of Civil, Planning, and Geo-engineering (CIVPLAN), ITS, focuses on the theme of “Smart Infrastructure for Sustainable Living.” This conference also serves as a platform to bring together seminars from various departments under the Faculty of CIVPLAN, namely: Architecture, Civil engineering, Urban and Regional Planning, Environmental Engineering, and Geo-Engineering.List of Advisory Board, Scientific Committee, Organizing Committee, Guest Editor and Members are available in this pdf.

Guest Editorial: Keys to Successful Implementation of Lithium-Ion Batteries

_ Energy is the number one cost of producing oil. Batteries offer new capabilities for reducing those costs and are one of the rare cases where we can improve both efficiency and capability. But what is critical for ensuring those benefits is the correct implementation and utilization of the technology. Batteries provide the greatest ROI when they are used directly alongside a primary power source—whether that is a diesel generator, gas engine, solar panel, utility-scale power plant, etc. Clearly a battery requires some method of charging, but the notion that a ‘hybrid’ approach likely makes the most sense is increasingly commonplace. However, it is easy to build a bad hybrid. Simply adding a battery onto an existing power system can result in a large capital expense with near zero benefit. Or the implementation of a battery could increase capability, reliability, and efficiency. Ensuring the latter of those two outcomes requires understanding three critical elements: the battery itself, the overall objectives, and the operational profile. What To Understand About the Battery Unsurprisingly, it is beneficial to increase one’s familiarity with the battery itself. The important thing to understand is that, from the standpoint of system level performance, batteries are fraught with tradeoffs. Of all the performance qualities of a battery—power, energy, weight, volume, cost, cycle life, safety—there is rarely any benefit to be gained in one aspect without sacrifice in at least one other. This is why it is important to match the needs of the application to a battery with the corresponding capabilities. On top of that, factors such as quality, thermal management, and the Battery Management System (BMS) will determine the ability of the system to deliver the performance that is promised on the spec sheet in the real world. Some of the most fundamental factors that must be considered in initial battery technology selection are power, energy, cycle life, and cost. Power and energy are intertwined and drive some of the most basic capabilities. They are also in direct tradeoff with each other—an increase in energy density almost always comes with a decrease in power density and vice versa. Assessing battery lifetime is complex, and battery technologies are available today that can easily perform tens of thousands of cycles, while many are rated for less than 1,000 cycles. Ultimately, lifetime will be determined by how the battery is operated in the field. The fact that cost is another critical factor certainly comes as no surprise. However, what is critical is not to be overly focused on cost, particularly in terms of $/kWh. Cost should be evaluated in terms of total cost of ownership over the lifetime.
