Wild and commercially significant plants are pollinated by honeybees. Currently, apiculture is suffering from the negative consequences of climate change, including extreme weather conditions and increasing temperature averages. Climate change can affect floral sources of honey bees, increase the frequency of parasites and diseases, and interfere with pollination cycles; thus, climate change poses a serious danger to apiculture and consequently beekeeping industry and global food production. Utilising cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) applications are crucial for reducing the negative effects of climate change on honey production and bee populations. AI can play a crucial role in apiculture by helping beekeepers to monitor and manage their hives more efficiently. This study employed a review-based approach to determine how AI can be employed in the beekeeping sector. The results suggests that combination of AI, ML and IoT can be used to evaluate environmental data, such as weather patterns, flowering seasons and satellite images interpretation. That can optimise beekeeping methods by forecasting the ideal periods for hive inspections, honey harvesting, and other tasks. This can increase the overall productivity of the hives and help bee keepers to make better decisions for the sustainability of their apiaries.

However, evidence is limited on the role of low-specialization, adaptable outdoor activities in learning, relationships, and perceived well-being. This study examined a year-long outdoor intervention based on bocce in a natural school setting in Southern Italy. Participants were 20 children aged 9?10, including two with intellectual disabilities. Data were collected through structured and semi-structured observations (1?3 checklist, teacher notes) and repeated student questionnaires. Changes across baseline, midpoint, and follow-up were analyzed in learning processes, inclusion, socio-relational benefits, and well-being/motivation. Results showed progressive improvements in all dimensions, with early gains in learning and motivation, stable high inclusion, and gradual socio-relational growth. Bocce appears feasible, sustainable, and inclusive. Further studies with larger samples and comparative designs are needed.

Here, sustainability means guiding training and talent pathways through evidence-based, age-appropriate, and individually tailored criteria, limiting early-specialization bias and weak selection practices. This pilot study explores the anthropometric profile and selected motor indicators of U18 female tennis players to outline preliminary reference trends for a sustainable youth performance framework. An experimental field-based design was used, assessing basic anthropometrics (e.g., height, body mass) and tennis-related motor capacities through a sport-specific test battery. This work represents a first step toward an optimal youth performance model that supports talent identification and long-term athlete development using measurable, context-sensitive parameters. Results may help coaches align performance improvement with sustainable growth.

It analyzes how AI influences strategic planning, operational coordination, resource allocation, performance monitoring, and decision support. Particular attention is paid to governance conditions, including data governance, accountability, transparency, workforce readiness, and institutional oversight. The article argues that AI contributes to sustainable organizational development only when embedded in coherent management models supported by responsible governance. A conceptual framework linking AI capabilities, governance conditions, transformation processes, organizational outcomes, and sustainability outcomes is proposed.

Moving beyond compliance, can provide evidence of tangible corporate welfare and societal change. New metrics will be introduced gradually. Firstly, the number of newborns, will be assessed. The goal is to optimize business strategy, enabling organizations to refine their approaches based on real-time impact data and creating medium to long-term policies, aligning the new indicator with existing KPIs that shift the focus from the time of birth alone to effective support. The ?Methodology for Standardized and Accountable Aggregation of HR-Derived Sustainability Data? has been defined to transform entity-level HR input into a comparable and auditable ESG KPI (newborn), ensuring consistency across the Group despite non-consolidated data generation. This study highlights how the use of the KPI ?Newborn? strengthens accountability and transparency, providing evidence for stakeholders regarding the effectiveness of social initiatives.

It considers not only individual aspects but also social and environmental contexts. Within this framework, physical activity and sport play a central role, promoting physical and psychological benefits, well-being, and social integration. Promoting physical activity is a public health priority and requires coordinated interventions. Sports organizations represent key settings for health promotion and important educational models. The guidelines of the Health Promoting Sports Federation support these processes, with particular attention to inclusion.
