House Music Events in the Time of COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic and its consequent social lockdowns necessitated an immediate cessation of events, replaced entirely by virtual events—a concept present in the existing events literature, but one not fully conceptualised.

Tourism, Persons with Disabilities and Cross-Border Cooperation
Tourism for persons with disabilities (PwD) is a research field that began to concern researchers in the late 1980s when it was realized that although these people have equal rights to travel, they have to face a series of obstacles. By definition, social tourism refers to people for whom travel is a challenging experience. The barriers and constraints faced by the elderly and PwD during their participation in tourism have been thoroughly studied. Both the accessible tourism market and cross-border cooperation are directly linked to the sustainability of tourism.

Sharing Heritage through Open Innovation
The topic of cultural heritage is the subject of many interdisciplinary studies. So far, these studies have focused on the issues of classifying particular types of heritage, their functions and benefits, components and determinants. However, relatively less attention was paid to the dimension of a methodical approach to education and rebuilding cultural identity through heritage. Meanwhile, generational changes, especially in the dimension of knowledge perception, indicate such a need.

Heritage Management and Sustainable Tourism: A Systematic Literature Review
Cultural heritage, with its humanistic values, is seen as a tool for preserving historical memory and reinforcing cultural identity, while its socio-economic values have a significant impact on the tourism industry. However, the contemporary global context, characterized by rapid and often unsustainable development, has intensified challenges such as tourism massification, urbanization, and climate change. To address these challenges, the authors assume that contemporary society should find a balanced development model in which heritage management becomes an integrated part of sustainable tourism practices. Although the relationship between heritage, tourism, and sustainability has been extensively explored for more than four decades, existing research remains fragmented and lacks an integrated conceptual framework that systematically explains the interconnections between sustainable tourism and heritage management. Therefore, the main goal of this paper is to develop a conceptual framework and conduct a comprehensive literature review that synthesizes these processes, contributing to the existing body of knowledge and addressing identified research gaps. The conducted research indicates that contemporary approaches should enhance integrated heritage management plans, effective visitor management strategies, carrying capacity assessments, and continuous monitoring of tourism impacts. In this context, sustainable tourism and heritage management represent a coordinated process of planning and governance aimed at ensuring the long-term conservation of cultural and natural heritage resources while enabling responsible tourism development. By reviewing and synthesizing existing literature, this paper contributes to the theoretical advancement of sustainable tourism and heritage management studies through the development of an integrated conceptual framework that addresses existing research gaps and incorporates contemporary academic insights.

Characteristics of the Rural Cultural Landscape in Gökçeada (Imbros)
Rural cultural landscapes are shaped by the long-term interaction between natural environmental conditions and human activities, reflecting local settlement patterns, architectural traditions, production practices, and socio-cultural values. The rural cultural landscape of Gökçeada (Imbros) is represented particularly by its five historic Orthodox Christian Greek villages—Tepeköy (Agridia), Zeytinliköy (Aya Todori), Eski Bademli (Gliki), Dereköy (Skinudi), and Kaleköy (Kastro). Their landscape character is defined by the interrelationship between the island’s natural setting, compact hillside settlements, vernacular stone architecture, agricultural and productive landscapes, public and communal spaces, and continuing socio-cultural practices.

Artificial Intelligence and Heritage Management
Artificial Intelligence (AI) in heritage management refers to the use of computational systems for tasks conventionally associated with human intelligence. These range from pattern recognition to prediction and language processing, among other dimensions such as image analysis or decision support, across the cultural and creative industries. AI applications are commonly applied in daily settings, namely for site management and visitor experience enhancement. Beyond its multiple technical functions, AI acts as a mediating infrastructure that influences how heritage knowledge is produced. Consequently, AI raises epistemological, ontological, ethical, and political questions for the future of heritage management. This entry takes into account the interconnected concepts of authenticity, authority, representation, and participation.

Schedule-Related Load in Competitive Sports: A Scoping Review Bridging Analytics and Athletic Performance
Background: This scoping review examines how schedule-related load affects athletic and team performance in professional sport, an issue that has received less systematic attention than training and competition load despite its clear implications for recovery, injury risk, and performance. Methods: Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, Scopus, and MEDLINE were searched for relevant publications (1993–2025) examining schedule-related load in professional sport. Five theoretical frameworks (Fitness-Fatigue, Circadian Disruption, Allostatic Load, Training-Injury Prevention, and Conservation of Resources) were used to interpret underlying mechanisms. Results: Seventy-two sources were included. At the athlete level, schedule-related load degrades physical performance, impairs sleep and recovery, increases injury risk, and disrupts circadian function. At the team level, it deteriorates game outcomes, alters offensive and defensive strength, and constrains lineup management. Six research gaps were identified involving measurement, interaction effects, advanced metrics, player heterogeneity, integration with training load, and longitudinal analysis. Conclusions: The findings position schedule design as a measurable performance variable and highlight the need for more rigorous sport analytics research to support evidence-based optimization of competition calendars and workload management.
