Shared Leadership and Functional Approach to Leadership
Most leadership studies primarily focus on formal leaders, often overlooking the influence of leaders within the team. While prior research has shown that peer leaders can have a beneficial impact on various team outcomes, it is yet unclear which peer leadership behaviors precisely foster a supportive and sustainable work environment.

Spatial Pattern of Cross-Border Area in China
With globalization and informatization, cross-border areas have become increasingly critical interactive spaces, experiencing rapid development and extensive changes in residents’ cross-border travel, constantly changing the spatial patterns of neighboring cities. Taking the Guangzhou-Foshan metropolitan area as a case, the research explored that a large number of cross-city trips for leisure and entertainment purposes emerged, and the one-way unbalanced flow, “Foshan to Guangzhou”, changed to two-way circulation. The spatial pattern of the Guangzhou-Foshan region from 1985 to 2020 to be on of spreading expansion, with Liwan District as the central core, connecting to several sub-centers. The cross-border area in the Guangzhou-Foshan region represented a compact, extremely integrated degree and a well-matched functional space.

Business Simulation Games in the 21st Century
Business simulation games are interactive tools used in education to enhance learning experiences. They allow students to apply theoretical knowledge to practical scenarios, fostering skills like critical thinking and problem-solving. These games simulate real-world situations, providing a safe environment for students to experiment and learn. They offer a dynamic and interactive platform that encourages active participation and drives higher levels of understanding. Research in this field has identified trends and topics through systematic reviews, but has seen a stagnation since the 2000s. Despite this, the technology for these games is mature and continues to balance between learning-driven and domain-driven research.

Big Data Usage in European Countries
Big data refers to the vast amount of structured and unstructured data generated in the digital era. It provides opportunities for analysis, prediction, and optimization. In Europe, big data is being increasingly used by businesses, organizations, and governments to gain insights and make informed decisions. However, the adoption and utilization of big data technologies vary across different European countries due to factors like infrastructure, policies, regulations, data privacy concerns, and digital maturity. Presented study aims to explore these variations, providing valuable insights for policymakers, researchers, and businesses. It seeks to inform policy decisions, support business strategies, and enhance the understanding of big data in Europe.

Comparative Research of Internal and Border Regions
The differentiation in the development of regions remains a major challenge for the working out-of-state industrial and regional policies aimed at balanced and sustainable development. In theory, regional differences between internal and border regions can be explained by differences in natural resources, and economic and industrial potential, as well as by the existence of external boundaries. Border regions have higher risks in ensuring the geo-political sustainability of an industry. External boundaries, as well as differences in industry dynamics between regions, cycle stages, and industry trends, are often overlooked in industrial policy making, which in itself can be a factor of volatility.

Plural Nature(s): An Overview of Their Sociocultural Construction
The social construction of nature aims to emphasise that the concept of nature has multiple meanings that vary in different socio-cultural contexts. This underlines the multiple ways in which both structures and individuals understand, explain, and engage with nature and the environment. Consequently, nature and cultures/societies are not separate entities, but are intertwined in complex and interdependent relationships. Therefore, nature is the result of human perceptions and social practices. The way we interact with, perceive, interpret, and value nature is influenced by a given society’s history and sociocultural factors. This intimate relationship is closely linked to power–knowledge and influence relations. Those with more power can impose a particular vision of, and relationship with, nature, resulting in inequalities and potentially harmful relations that can explain the environmental degradation that the contemporary world faces globally, despite its expression in particular contexts, thus configuring plural natures.

Visual Cueing and Eye-Tracking Technology in Education
Visual cueing has been widely utilized in the practice of online learning. Visual cues like bold text, colors, arrows, or underlining are used to highlight important information in online materials. Online multimedia resources like video may use visual cues like blinking, highlighting, or zooming in on important details. Eye-tracking data can provide valuable insights into learners’ visual behaviors, revealing what they are looking at, how long they focus on specific elements, and the sequences of their gazes’ movements across different representations.
