Unlike non-profit organizations, social enterprises must be sustainable through profit-making activities in order to pursue social purposes.However, the most important of the poor limited resources is also human resources, and for the efficient use of human resources, empowerment should be given to members. This study proves whether job engagement mediates the effect on sustainability when psychological empowerment is given to employees in social enterprises.

Social enterprise pursues both social and economic goals and is recognized as a formula for achieving sustainable development. Sheltered workshops (SWs) are a manifestation of this phenomenon, their main objective being the labor market integration of disabled people. In this paper, the efficiency of SWs has been studied taking into account the operational and the core social aspects, as well as their distinct nature, namely for-profit or non-profit status. Additionally, we have analyzed the relationship between the social efficiency and the economic returns of these entities. To do this, a semiparametric methodology, combining different data envelopment analysis (DEA) models with truncated regression estimation has been used. It is the non-profit and top-performing SWs that achieve the best social and economic efficiency. For-profit and low-performing SWs show further reductions in social efficiency as a result of the economic crisis and uncertainty in subsidy-related public policies. Their extensive social proactiveness and high economic strength in the crisis period positively influenced their social and economic efficiency. We have also proven that it is the most profitable SWs that have the greatest social efficiency. We consider that our results constitute a useful complement to other evaluation models for social enterprise.

In early 2017, after launching its successful “Greenhouse-in-a-Box” pilot project in India with fifteen smallholder farmers, Kheyti, a non-profit agricultural technology (AgTech) social enterprise, was struggling with several decisions in developing and growing its business. Kheyti was launched in 2015 to help smallholder farmers battle poverty and income variability by providing affordable technologies bundled with services. Over eighteen months, the team had developed a low-cost and modular greenhouse product to which it added financing, inputs, training, and market linkages to create a comprehensive “full-stack” solution for small farmers. The pilot project was a success in many ways, but Saumya, Kheyti's co-founder and head of product, was concerned that it revealed shortcomings that could severely affect the viability and scalability of Kheyti's solution. Saumya had some important decisions to make. Should Kheyti redesign the product from scratch, or find other ways to reduce the cost for early adopters? Should it rely on upfront revenues from sales of the greenhouse, or consider developing an innovative financing or contract farming model? Kheyti's dwindling cash reserves meant that these decisions were urgent and critical. The path chosen now would determine whether the startup would move beyond the pilot stage and achieve its vision of serving 1 million farmers by 2025.

Based on Islamic social enterprise (ISE) concept which is a combination of both social and economic objectives embedded with Islamic principles and values, this study aims to classify ISE based on economic sectors namely public, private and non-profit sectors. In addition, eight organisations that represent ISEs in Malaysia are also being discussed in order to support the classification of ISE based on economic sectors. In order to examine these eight ISEs, this study reviews professional documents, online information and comprehensive literature to analyse selected ISEs in Malaysia. Based on findings, this study concludes that ISEs in Malaysia can be classified based on all three economic sectors identified. Therefore, this study contributes to the body of knowledge as the first study made in examining and exploring classification of ISEs based on economic sectors specifically within Malaysia context. Besides, this study also among the pioneer studies on ISE itself. Keywords: Islamic Social Enterprise (ISE), Social Enterprise (SE), Economic sector, Islamic social accounting

Social enterprise has a really wide meaning. Most people understand social enterprise as business to improve the financial between social and environmental. But it’s not only about profitable business, it’s also about a non-profit business. Social enterprise itself has three types, innovation model, employment model, and give back model. The world is changing rapidly in a fast motion. People might have any kinds of work or job but to survive for a long time, they need to be innovative. Nowadays, even human resources are not really needed anymore. There are technologies, even robots that can do the human job. Since the technologies are keep improving, people must be more focus in improving their knowledge and ability so the workplace won’t be temporary, meaning, they could be replace but the technologies and robots if their knowledge and ability is not that good.

Abstract Background: Bibliometric analysis of mainly cited articles is used to provide information on trends in a specific research field and objective indicators of the scientific impact of the publication. With bibliometric and network analysis, we map the scientific landscape of chimeric antigen receptors T-cells (CAR-T) research. Methods: Extract 100 most cited articles published over the last decade (from January 1, 2009 to Dec 31, 2018; 10 years) from the Web of Science Core Collection with bibliographic details; year of publication, country of author, funding agencies, research organization, author information, and keywords. Results: Of the 100 papers identified, most (92%) were written in the US. US government agencies and non-profit organizations provided the most funding, and the papers funded by the NIH had the most citations, followed by those funded by the Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy (US). 33 papers out of the top 100 most cited papers were published from the University of Pennsylvania. As for authors, Carl H. June participated in 30 papers, followed by Bruce L. Levine who participated in 11 papers. As for journals, Blood (n=20), published the most papers, followed by Science Translational Medicine (n=10). The most frequently used keyword was “adoptive immunotherapy” (n=37), followed by “lymphocytes” (n=27), and “antitumor-activity” (n=25). Conclusion: We performed the quantitative bibliometric analysis of funding bodies, countries, organizations, journals, authors, and keywords for the CAR-T research trends and landscape. Moving forward, Analysis of highly influential CAR-T articles provides insight into areas for future development.

ObjectivesTo review the nature and scope of apps targeting individuals living with and beyond cancer.DesignScoping review, searching the two largest app stores, Google Play and Apple’s App store. App descriptions were exported verbatim, and summarised descriptively, thematically and by content coding.ResultsWe included 151 apps targeting individuals living with and beyond cancer. Most targeted all cancer types (n=89, 58.9%) or breast cancer (n=22, 14.6%) and originated in the USA (n=68, 45.0%). The country of origin was unclear for 31 (20.5%) apps. Most apps were developed by commercial companies/private individuals (n=64, 43%) or non-profit organisations (n=30, 19.9%) and marketed apps in terms of fighting metaphors, navigating a journey and becoming empowered to take control.App content could be summarised under five main categories: (1) imparting information about cancer; (2) planning and organising cancer care; (3) interacting with others (including others affected by cancer and healthcare professionals); (4) enacting management strategies and adjusting to life with or beyond cancer and (5) getting feedback about cancer management, for example, by sharing self-monitoring reports with professionals. We found some apps describing ‘cures’ for cancer or selling products, such as alkaline waters to cancer survivors.ConclusionsApps are currently available via on-line stores that cover a large spectrum of cancer survivorship activities. The effects of such apps on clinical consultations, patient work/burden and clinical outcomes merit further attention. Most apps are developed by commercial organisations, and promises of empowerment in the ‘fight’ against cancer are tempered by the potential for exaggerated claims and exploitation.
