Abstract
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is increasingly shaping the pathways of Small Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs). This study presents an entity-relationship diagram (ERD) approach to 184 determinants of SME internationalization success, in order to provide structured inputs for Deep Learning (DL) Recommenders that can support CSR-aligned internationalization strategies. Employing Visual Paradigm 17.2 Professional software for modeling, the research synthesizes state-of-the-art findings on foreign market entry, and export performance, into ERDs. Then the market adoption drivers for such a DL tool are explored through semi-structured interviews with twelve stakeholders. The results reveal a propensity to adopt the DL recommender, with experts highlighting essential features for engagement, pricing, and implementation. The discussion contextualizes these findings, while the conclusion addresses gaps and future directions. The study's focus in Portugal/Germany may limit worldwide extrapolation, yet it advances knowledge by consolidating success determinants, validating platform requirements, exposing gaps, and suggesting research in both CSR, AI and SME internationalization.

Abstract
This study examines the factors that motivate viewers to financially support streamers on the Twitch digital platform. It proposes a conceptual framework that combines the uses and gratifications theory (UGT) with Michel Foucault's concept of the practice of freedom (PF). Using a cross-sectional quantitative survey of 560 Portuguese Twitch users, the model investigates how three core constructs from UGT-entertainment, socialization, and informativeness-affect the intention to donate, with PF acting as a mediating variable. Structural equation modeling confirms that all three UGT-based motivations significantly influence donation intentions, with socialization exhibiting the strongest mediated effect through PF. The findings reveal that Twitch donations go beyond mere instrumental or playful actions; they serve as performative expressions of identity, autonomy, and ethical subjectivity. By framing PF as a link between interpersonal engagement and financial support, this study provides a contribution to media motivation research. The theoretical integration enhances our understanding of pro-social behavior in live streaming environments, challenging simplistic, transactional interpretations of viewer contributions vis-& agrave;-vis more political ones and the desire to freely dispose of what is ours to give. Additionally, this study may lay the groundwork for future inquiries into how ethical self-formation is intertwined with monetized online participation, offering useful insights for academics, platform designers, and content creators seeking to promote meaningful digital interactions.

Abstract
The rapid expansion of offshore wind farms and the development of energy islands for green hydrogen production have introduced futuristic off-grid systems. These systems can experience total shutdowns, necessitating black start solutions to ensure reliable restoration capabilities for isolated offshore wind farms. This paper investigates a grid-forming converter sizing strategy to enable black start capabilities in off-grid offshore wind farms. The study evaluates the impact of different energization strategies on battery energy storage system (BESS) sizing, focusing on soft energization with droop control in wind turbines and electrolyzers, the effects of wind turbine ramp rates on BESS requirements, and the role of switchable shunt reactors at the offshore substation for reactive power management. A comparative analysis is conducted between soft + hard and pure soft energization sequences to assess their impact on BESS converter sizing. Results demonstrate that the combined soft + hard energization strategy significantly reduces BESS converter size, offering a more cost-effective black start solution compared to pure soft energization.

Abstract
Online reviews are a crucial asset for e-commerce platforms as they provide consumers with valuable insights into products. It is important to note that these reviews are subjective and may contain biases. Therefore, it is essential to approach them with a critical eye. Despite this, online reviews remain a valuable tool for consumers when making purchasing decisions. This study focuses on developing web-based mini-games that target cognitive biases. The games are specifically designed to enhance the perception of e-commerce online reviews. A pilot study involving 85 participants was conducted to explore the potential of integrating these cognitive bias games into web platforms. The findings indicate promising avenues for leveraging these games to enhance cognitive personalization and improve the quality of e-commerce online reviews.
