This edited volume brings together some of the best papers from the 2022 Conference on Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), held at the Babeș-Bolyai University, Cluj, Romania. The volume seeks to expand the current research on PLS-SEM and promote the method’s application in the scientific community. It gathers research from scholars in many different fields who work on the advancement of PLS-SEM and who apply the method to explain and predict behavioral phenomena. Researchers today can draw on a wide array of different PLS-SEM-based algorithms, complementary methods, and model evaluation metrics. Tying in with these developments, the first part of this book documents methodological advances of PLS-SEM, which extend the researchers’ current toolbox of methods. The following parts demonstrate state-of-the-art applications of PLS-SEM in various fields such as consumer behavior, hospitality, human resource management, entrepreneurship, and organizational behavior. Special emphasis is placed on studies that apply complementary methods to offer a more nuanced analysis of the research questions.
Heritage theory places individual experiences in a precarious position. Representational approaches draw attention to socio-political contexts and ethical considerations but largely render the self silent. Affective approaches, on the other hand, develop meaningful components of the emotive and sensed self, but internalized and unmitigated heritage runs the risk of perpetuating oppressive constructs. In Construed Heritage, Jennifer Goddard views heritage experiences as subjective-objective relationships that may be analyzed through discursive and figurative construal level distances. Goddard further contends that memory consumes and retains those heritage experiences as cognitive objects where they are collected and curated into personal narratives.

Über Mütter und Töchter. Und die Freiheit einer Frau. Wie ein Wiegenlied erzählt Maria Pourchet eine ebenso mitreißende wie provokante Geschichte, die in ihrer schonungslosen Klarheit an Annie Ernaux erinnert. »Atemberaubend!« Libération Schon vor Jahren ist Marie aus der Provinz nach Paris gezogen. Hat ihr kleinbürgerliches, konservatives Elternhaus hinter sich gelassen. Sie ist klug, frei, ungebunden. Als sie mit 35 Jahren schwanger wird, beschließt sie, das Kind allein großzuziehen. Wenige Stunden nach der Geburt blickt sie auf die Wiege ihrer kleinen Tochter – und wie ein Film läuft vor Maries Augen ihr eigenes Leben ab. Die Kindheit und Jugend in einer Kleinstadt in den Vo...

In the marine environment, single-celled, microscopic, plant-like organisms naturally occur in the well-lit surface layer of any body of water. These organisms, referred to as phytoplankton or microalgae, form the base of the food web upon which nearly all other marine organisms depend. Algal bloom is a rapid increase in or accumulation of the population of about 300 species of algae due to excess nutrients (eutrophication), and is of major global interest as it causes reduction in species diversity, abrupt changes in water quality, and discoloration of the water (green, yellow, brown or red) depending on the species of algae and the type of pigments they contain. Dying blooms can also be an...
