“…It uses constructs that were drawn from the technology acceptance model (TAM) [ [20] , [21] , [22] , [23] , [24] ], and from its related Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT/UTAUT2) [ [25] , [26] , [27] ]. It integrated them with perceived interactivity construct [ [28] , [29] , [30] ] to comprehend the students' readiness to use synchronous conferencing technologies. Specifically, this study explores the educational institutions' facilitating conditions and examines the students’ attitudes as well as their intentions to adopt them.…”

Following the unprecedented outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19), educators and students have shifted from conventional face-to-face lectures to fully virtual sessions that were delivered via video conferencing software. This research investigates the facilitating conditions and the students' perceptions toward using these interactive resources to continue their learning journey. The data was gathered through a structured questionnaire among 777 students in tertiary education. The survey instrument comprised valid measures that are frequently utilized in academia, to evaluate the individuals' acceptance of interactive educational technologies. A partial least squares (PLS) approach revealed that there were very significant factors that were predicting the students' dispositions to utilize synchronous learning programs. The findings underlined the importance of providing appropriate facilitating conditions to improve perceptions and attitudes toward interactive conferencing software. These results reflect the latest developments, as COVID-19 has inevitably accelerated the digital transformation in the realms of education. This contribution implies that students adapted well to a new normal. It confirmed that they are willing to participate and engage in virtual meetings through video conferencing programs.

“…These heritages not only have historical and cultural values but also play an important role in shaping community identity and promoting social cohesion. Digital technologies are playing an increasingly important role in the preservation and transmission of intangible cultural heritage in sports [7][8][9]. This includes the use of digital images, video recordings, virtual reality (VR), and augmented reality (AR) technologies to document and present this heritage.…”

This paper is dedicated to designing and constructing a knowledge ontology framework for sports intangible cultural heritage (ICH) resources, aiming to support their preservation and inheritance by integrating and mining sports ICH resources. The study includes the collection of multiple data of sports ICH from various data sources, and constructing ICH knowledge ontology using CIDOC CRM metadata reference model and seven-step method. To enrich the content of the ontology, the TextRank algorithm is used to extract textual critical information and design a domain-specific NER model for sports NRL. In addition, the study adopts the VSM vector space model for text representation and uses an improved hierarchical classification model for text categorization to improve classification accuracy. The study also explores the similarity calculation of concepts in the sports NRM ontology and proposes a semantic similarity calculation formula based on the ontology concepts. Respondents’ willingness to pay was investigated through the conditional value method (CVM) to assess the value of sports NRM tourism resources. Finally, the influencing factors of respondents’ willingness to pay were analyzed using statistical analysis and Logistic regression model, and it was found that they were mainly influenced by the degree of understanding of sports non-heritage resources and the level of education. The results of this study not only provide theoretical and methodological support for the effective integration and excavation of sports non-heritage resources and a new perspective for their protection, inheritance and sustainable development.

“…This brings about a concern with the community and cooperation between people rather than competition and control of power. 34 Nonetheless, Largeron and Chalaye 35 point out that economic growth increasingly needs innovation and strategic network alliance, and decision-makers need information about the innovation potential of their territory. Peña 36 emphasizes that an innovative territory has the ability to transform data and information into knowledge and to obtain collective intelligence that influences the local culture and social interaction.…”

Energy from livestock waste: Using circular economy and territorial intelligence to build sustainable businesses

Pig waste can be used to generate energy through biogas and has been gaining importance for being a renewable energy source. The resulting biogas can be used in many forms, such as to produce electricity and supply local networks using microgrids. This helps bring greater stability and energy security to local electricity supply networks. Under this light, this article aims to (i) report on socio-environmental impacts, (ii) present lessons learned (from a circular economy and territorial intelligence perspective), and (iii) point out future business opportunities of value recovery from waste in rural properties. To that end, a case study was carried out in a rural property in Paraná, Brazil. The authors conducted local visits and surveys, and consulted documents provided by the property owners about projects making use of biogas produced from pig waste and used to generate electricity. Different partnerships between the property and public and private bodies enable business opportunities arising from projects that range from the commercialization of carbon credits, decentralized energy generation, to sale of energy to the State's energy provider and establishing Microgrids. From those projects, direct and indirect environmental and social benefits are primarily related to the replacement of non-renewable energy with renewable energy from waste, and impacts avoided from the inadequate handling of pig waste. The results show that it is possible to explore the energy potential of rural properties, based on livestock waste, by developing partnerships with public and private actors, producing energy from biogas, from circular economy and territorial intelligence perspectives.
