Towards a concept of error tolerance culture: Entrepreneurship facilitator or societal risk amplifier?
INTRODUCTION Error tolerance, a factor that influences attitudes, intentions, and behaviors related to errors, is a well-explored concept at the individual, group, and organizational levels (Frese & Keith, 2015). We define error tolerance as a positive embrace of errors and mistakes, broadly accepting the fallibility of humans in their pursuit of goals.

Executive Summary What’s new: On April 30, 2026, the European Court of Justice delivered its judgment in Case C 133/24, CD Tondela and Others, on whether a no-poach agreement between Portuguese professional football clubs during the COVID-19 pandemic breached EU competition law. Why it matters: Restrictions on labour mobility have been an enforcement priority in the US, EU and UK. The Court in CD Tondela held that restricting player recruitment can be contrary to EU competition law.
A psychological rating instrument: The entrepreneurial pitching success scale and its reliability and validity
ABSTRACT Entrepreneurial pitching success (EPS) is a behavioral observation scale consisting of behaviorally anchored items developed to understand behavioral predictors of pitching success; it is based on a scoping review of the empirical literature on pitching, condensed to 13 important aspects. Similar to the elaboration likelihood theory and system 1/system 2 decision-making, we suggest two routes of persuasion in pitching—rational arguments and inspirational and affective approaches.

Inferring the age and environmental characteristics of fossil sites using citizen science
Loading metrics Open Access Peer-reviewed Research Article Abstract Not all fossil sites preserve microfossils that can be extracted using acid digestion, which may leave knowledge gaps regarding a site’s age or environmental characteristics. Here we report on a citizen science approach that was developed to identify microfossils in situ on the surface of sedimentary rocks.

E-Commerce Competition Enforcement Guide
Introduction Algorithmic pricing remains an antitrust hot button.[2] On the one hand, the use of pricing algorithms makes markets more efficient, e.g., by enabling sellers to understand and react swiftly to fluctuations in market demand and changes in supply conditions. On the other hand, algorithms provide elevated pricing transparency that, depending on the sophistication of the algorithm, may facilitate anticompetitive practices.

Entrepreneurial Orientation and Business Performance: An Assessment of past Research and Suggestions for the Future
Introduction Many reviews and assessments of the entrepreneurship research field have concluded that the development of a cumulative body of knowledge has been limited and slow because there is lack of agreement on many key issues regarding what constitutes entrepreneurship (e.g., Shane & Venkataraman, 2000), because researchers fail to build upon each others‘ results (Davidsson & Wiklund, 2001), and because measurements of key variables are typically weak.

Antitrust Enforcement Centers On Technology Industry
Law360 (January 30, 2020, 3:07 PM EST) -- Antitrust enforcers in the United States and European Union remained active in 2019, and recent developments at the U.S. Department of Justice, Federal Trade Commission, state attorneys general offices and EU agencies signal even greater levels of activity in 2020.

The temporal pattern of creativity and implementation in teams
Two broad sets of activities underlie team innovation: the creation and the implementation of new ideas. Despite the prevalence of this distinction, the temporal dynamics of creativity and implementation in teams and their relation to successful team innovation are not well understood. Building on and integrating linear phase models and complexity perspectives on the innovation process, we propose a temporal pattern of creativity and implementation that is linked to team innovation.

Teaching personal initiative beats traditional training in boosting small business in West Africa
Many lower-income people in developing countries do not receive a wage but instead are self-employed in small firms of fewer than five workers. Helping entrepreneurs to grow small businesses by teaching them formal business skills has yielded mixed results. Campos et al. show that teaching entrepreneurial skills to the self-employed works much better in terms of increasing both sales and profits. The entrepreneurial training relies on psychological mechanisms that enhance personal initiative.
Intel Ruling: General Court Failed to Examine All of Intel’s Arguments, Court of Justice Says

Chronic fructose substitution for glucose or sucrose in food or beverages has little effect on fasting blood glucose, insulin, or triglycerides: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Conflicting evidence exists on the role of long-term fructose consumption on health. No systematic review has addressed the effect of isoenergetic fructose replacement of other sugars and its effect on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), fasting blood glucose, insulin, and triglycerides.
Fructose replacement of glucose or sucrose in food or beverages lowers postprandial glucose and insulin without raising triglycerides: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Conflicting evidence exists on the effects of fructose consumption in people with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. No systematic review has addressed the effect of isoenergetic fructose replacement of glucose or sucrose on peak postprandial glucose, insulin, and triglyceride concentrations.
Imaging of Jurassic fossils from the Talbragar Fish Bed using fluorescence, photoluminescence, and elemental and mineralogical mapping
The Talbragar Fish Bed is one of Australia’s most important Jurassic deposits for freshwater fishes, land plants and aquatic and terrestrial insects. The site has yielded many well preserved fossils, which has led to the formal description of numerous new species and higher taxa. The excellent preservation of many fossils has allowed detailed anatomical studies, e.g. of the early teleost fish Cavenderichthys talbragarensis (Woodward, 1895).
RNA-Dependent RNA Polymerases of Both Virulent and Benign Rabbit Caliciviruses Induce Striking Rearrangement of Golgi Membranes
The extremely pathogenic Rabbit haemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV) and the completely benign Rabbit calicivirus (RCV) are closely related members of the genus Lagovirus (family Caliciviridae). The molecular mechanisms that determine the dramatic difference in virulence are unknown, but indirect evidence suggests that different properties of their RNA-dependent RNA polymerases (RdRps) may at least partially be responsible for the contrasting phenotypes.
Psychological Training for Entrepreneurs to Take Action
Entrepreneurship is one of the most effective means to alleviate poverty in developing countries. Effective entrepreneurship requires psychological approaches—in particular, active (i.e., agentic) approaches. We introduce an action-regulation training approach, focusing on self-regulation and active behavior in entrepreneurship as a bottom-up solution for poverty reduction. We present two different training interventions.
