Abstract
It is known that academic performance is not correlated with the way people understand and deal with their own emotions and other peoples’ emotions. Active methodologies allow students to be constantly involved in the learning process and thus allow Higher Education students to cognitively develop Emotional Intelligence (EI). This study is guided by the following research question: what are the learning strategies for developing EI skills in Higher Education students? This is a qualitative study and two focus groups were held with two institutions of Public and Private Higher Education, in which 10 students and 4 Professors participated. The content of the interviews was analyzed using the qualitative analysis software webQDA®. One concludes that the active methodologies, Problem Based Learning and Inverted Classroom, can contribute to develop EI skills in Higher Education students, as they enable mental skills such as reasoning and problem solving, from the perception and knowledge of emotion patterns. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

Abstract
Traditional management models reveal issues with the introduction of unnecessary hierarchies, slow decision making, among other obstacles, which left a large number of workers out of the process of seeking efficiency and growth. In this sense, the third generation of management models focused on agility and collaboration emerged. Instead of focusing on hierarchies and functions, there is a priority on the way people behave and relate. In this sense, this study aims to analyze this phenomenon and to understand the various dimensions of Management 3.0. Furthermore, it intends to explore and understand the practices and challenges that are posed in its business implementation, focusing on the role of people and information and communication technologies.

Abstract
COVID-19 has caused strong restrictions in the activities of companies and people in the European Union. Its effects are not restricted to the public health field, but also include the economic and social dimensions. To face this wide range of challenges, government entities, companies, and civil society have sought to develop innovative solutions to cope with the effects posed by COVID-19. This study aims to explore these innovative initiatives using the observatory of public sector innovation (OPSI) framework and intends to understand the effects of digital skills of citizens and companies in the emergence of these initiatives. The findings reveal that the proposed innovative solutions result essentially from incremental innovation projects and are promoted by government entities at national and local levels. Nevertheless, the relevance of the participation of companies and civil society in these innovative initiatives is also highlighted. Finally, the digital competencies of each EU state member do not appear to influence the countries' capacity to offer innovative solutions.

Abstract
The management of urban solid waste represents a great challenge to humanity. The current scenario of pollution due to waste that is still being incorrectly disposed of has brought us to an alarming situation. To progress and overcome the barriers, the sector needs changes and innovations. Waste management is not only the responsibility of municipalities; it must also involve people. This chapter presents a technological solution that fosters people's involvement in waste management practices. Through the use of this platform, users can register the waste produced and evaluate their performance in recycling management according to several types of residues considering the targets set by the municipalities. This approach may be relevant for the implementation of pay-as-you-throw models in municipalities. © 2021, IGI Global.

Abstract
This study aimed to explore the diversity of open-innovation practices that are adopted in Portuguese SMEs considering the outside-in, inside-out, and coupled paradigms. A quantitative study was carried out considering a sample of 187 Portuguese SMEs. The findings revealed that these organizations favored the adoption of the outside-in paradigm. The inside-out model was the least relevant, especially for smaller companies (i.e., small and micro-companies). The most adopted outside-in practices were the integration of external knowledge from suppliers and clients; in the inside-out model, licensing processes were more important; while in the coupled model, joint ventures and network consortiums stood out. The increase in the innovation capacity of these organizations was highlighted as the most relevant benefit, while the lack of resources and difficulties in integrating knowledge emerged as challenges. This study is especially relevant for the establishment of public-support policies that promote the involvement of Portuguese SMEs in open-innovation processes. © 2021 by the author.

Abstract
With the implementation of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in the European Union, companies must be able to ensure that applications requesting the user to record personal data inform the user of the purpose for which the data collected is being collected. Furthermore, it is also necessary to ensure the data owner has given his/her explicit consent to the collection of these data and that such consent is recorded. This imperative has required a reworking of the interfaces of the applications. In this sense, this study seeks to explore the policies and practices that are being followed by organizations in designing interfaces. Four case studies were considered in the development of this study to explore this phenomenon in the dimensions of pragmatic hedonic processes of interface design, approaches to collect consent, and how personal data is managed.
