  • Impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on human development   Order a copy of this article
    by Julio Cesar Melo, Enzo Barberio Mari, Fernando Bernardi De Souza 
    Abstract: The pandemic, arising from the SARS-CoV2 (COVID-19) virus, which began at the end of 2019 and quickly spread globally, had and continues to have significant impact on the lives of people. As a means of reducing infection rates and ensuring the availability of adequate medical care, governments decreed, to a greater or lesser extent, social distancing rules, circulation restrictions and the closure of schools and business. These measures resulted in significant economic impacts, such as job losses, income reduction, business failures, difficulties accessing basic health services and the cessation of school activities. With the intention of analysing the consequences of the pandemic on human development, the present study carried out a structured literature review of 59 research articles selected from the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The articles were categorised according to the research proposal of each author and then analysed in terms of the impacts of the pandemic on human development.
    Keywords: pandemic; COVID-19; human development; HDI; developing countries; health impacts; economic impacts; lockdown; structured review.

    by Anna Kryslene Viana Chianca Brilhante, Claudia Coutinho Nóbrega 
    Abstract: The growing consumption and disposal of electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) pose hazardous waste challenges. With its reverse logistics approach, Brazils National Solid Waste Policy is crucial in mitigating environmental and health risks. This study aimed to identify the household generation and disposal of laptops and peripherals in Joao Pessoa/PB, the capital of the state of Paraiba. Data was collected by contacting users of laptops and peripherals using a questionnaire, 96.36% of respondents had laptops in use and 34.81% had at least one laptop out of use. Common laptop issues included slowness, crashes and battery problems. Among the peripherals stored, the mouse, headphones and keyboard predominated. The study identified a lack of awareness about collection points, with cost being the primary hindrance to repairs. To enhance proper disposal, there is a critical need for awareness campaigns and an increased number of collection points.
    Keywords: household waste; electronic waste; circular economy; e-waste; electronic waste; developing countries; obsolescence; waste disposal; Brazil.

  • Perspectives of Brazilian construction industries about ESG: a cross-case study: environmental, social and governance SG   Order a copy of this article
    by Liandra Dos Santos Jesus, John Cesar De Souza, Edwin Vladimir Cardoza Galdamez, Danilo Hisano Barbosa, Gislaine Camila Lapasini Leal, Syntia Lemos Cotrim 
    Abstract: This paper aims to explore the state of ESG in the Brazilian construction industry. For this, a qualitative multiple case study with eight companies operating in the civil construction industry was carried out in the City of Maringa via a questionnaire. The results show that some of the companies demonstrated knowledge of ESG and sustainability, but they have been focusing more on the environmental part, with poor transparency to the public and poor implementation of sustainability culture. And although the research is limited to the general aspect of ESG and the knowledge of the respondents. It is also the initial step in the scientific field to evaluate the efficiency of sustainability actions used by the companies and also contributes to Maringa city, which wants to get the ISO 37122 certification of smart and sustainable cities.
    Keywords: environmental; social; and governance; ESG; sustainability; construction industries; qualitative multiple case study; Brazil.
