Brazil, Russia, India and China (BRIC) have been drawing special attention due to the pollution emissions released into the atmosphere by their increasing number of industries and their exaggerated consumption of products. This article aims to elucidate and analyze the evolution of some of the atmospheric indicators of the BRIC group of countries, the amount of money each country invests in research and development of renewable energies, and the possible human health consequences of excess exposure to CO 2. Secondary data on atmospheric indicators of the BRIC group of countries were obtained and critically analyzed. They were first tabulated in an Excel spreadsheet and then presented in tables and figures. Linear regression and the correlation between CO 2 and global warming for the next few years were also determined. The findings reveal that CO 2 emissions per capita as well as the kilograms in USD$ of the GDP of the countries showed an average increase of 15% in Brazil, Russia, and India. The average increase in China was 30%. China and Brazil are the countries that invest the most in research and development. It is concluded based on the forecasted predictions that if the surveyed countries adopt effective preventive measures, the CO 2 emissions and amount of air pollution could show a downward trend over time; on the other hand, if nothing is done to reverse this situation, the indexes may even exceed the forecasts.

This study includes case studies with managers and donors from three distinct non-profit organizations in the same sector. We conducted semi-structured interviews, report analysis, and direct observations. The interviews were recorded and typed up for content analysis using the MAXQDA software. The triangulation approach and multilevel data collection contributed to the research's reliability and validity. NPOs propose value through marketing strategies, primarily by humanizing "sales techniques". Donors perceive value co-creation as a beneficial collaborative result. Value co-creation is a way for non-profit organizations to achieve their missions of assisting patients or families in need. Although there is strong evidence of dialogue and transparency elements in the donor-NPO relationship, other factors, such as the individual's background or empathy, stood out more in this context. Academically, this study contributes to the literature by elucidating the phenomena under multiple actor interaction regimes. Furthermore, most studies on value co-creation focus on customer participation and interaction in private organizational processes (i.e., innovation or feedback), leaving gaps for determining and exploring alternative forms of value co-creation. This gap was filled in this study.

The purpose of this research is to identify the efficiency level of urban solid waste management in the Brazilian capitals during the period from 2002 to 2016. To measure the efficiency, the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique was used. The sample consisted of 20 Brazilian capitals. After measuring efficiency, the logistic regression technique was used to measure the contribution of each variable used in the DEA technique. As a result, it was observed that the number of materials recovered is very low compared to the number of materials collected, the municipality that collected the most materials was Vitória in 2015 and the municipality that recovered the most waste was Florianópolis in 2013.

The HDI and the GDP were the dependent variables selected for the study. The independent variables were selected from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) base: they included employees, salaries and manufacturing establishments from 23 industries that were separated into technological levels according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Multiple regressions were used to indicate the relationship of dependency and explanatory power between dependent and explanatory variables. The results showed that the industries with mid-low and low technological levels have greater impact on the formation of GDP and HDI in Brazil. These two technological levels were primarily developed with the arrival of multinationals in the 1990s and 2000s, as found in the theory background. An empirical research spanning a longer time period and based on other sources would possibly give more strength to the econometric study. This study has implications for academicians and entrepreneurs willing to understand the Brazilian market and industry history.

The data were obtained from secondary sources and treated with the use of statistical software. The results show a high correlation between income distributions and the dependence on exports to China. So, based on this circumstance, the reduction of Brazilian poverty depends on China’s demand. This work also shows the relationship between employment and income distribution and the gap of these correlations, which is not the immediate effect of exports in this distribution.

Investigating the factors that interfere with employees’ well-being and the organisational environment is becoming an increasing concern in organisations. This article identifies the criteria of the quality of life (QoL), quality of working life (QWL) and organisational climate instruments to point out their similarities. For bibliographic construction and data research, articles were sought in national and international journals, books and dissertations/articles in SciELO, Science Direct, Medline and Pub Med databases. The results show direct relationships amongst QoL, QWL and organisational climate instruments. The relationship between QoL and QWL instruments is based on fair compensation, social interaction, organisational communication, working conditions and functional capacity.

In value co-creation, the parties close joint actions in exchange relationships enable the parties to achieve their goals. Donation, in turn, is an act of enormous repercussions for the common good, especially in less developed countries and societies, such as Brazil. However, fostering donations has been a considerable challenge where it is most pressing. To overcome this barrier, this study frames ‘giving’ as a value co-creative practice, which involves different resources (financial, labour) on the one hand, and specific skills (such as knowledge and education) to impact society and its most deprived citizens, on the other hand. This study also explores the influences of institutions and culture on value co-creation in the broad sense and on the specific type represented by giving and all the reasoning is a recall to deductive reasoning. Such efforts reveal interesting possibilities in non-profit marketing, capable of increasing the diffusion and intensity of donation in society at large. Theoretically, this study reveals the richness and complex character of the research field of applied social studies. Institutions, culture, and value co-creation play an important role in consumer behaviour. Therefore, the knowledge about how these perspectives interact is important for predicting, changing, or stimulating such behaviours.

O objetivo, além de trazer algumas reflexões sobre a importância social, econômica e tecnológica das TUs, é refletir em relação à forma como os rankings universitários globais impactam as TUs e a diversificação do Sistema de Ensino Superior. Muitas TUs ficam de fora do grupo denominado World Class University (WCU), porque as avaliações negligenciam indicadores relacionados às atividades empreendedoras e de transferência de tecnologia e inovação, sendo fundamentais para o desenvolvimento econômico. Eles modificam indicadores como IDH, renda per capita ou taxas de desemprego.

A business conceptual framework for the business field is suggested which provides a basis for theory development and debate. Finally, some insights will be highlighted, which can propel the readers into future research. A search was performed on papers selected from the Science Direct database, which houses the empirical studies in the business management field. Sixteen articles were studied in detail. The relationships between skills of using CQ with expatriation or international cultural adjustment were found to be the most investigated themes in the business arena. Most of them revealed the existence of a positive association between the expatriate performance and crosscultural adaptation. The most used instrument used to measure CQ was the CQ Scale, a scale with psychological or...

These indexes were the dependent variables. The independent variables were selected from the United Nations Industrial Development Organization database, and encompass employees and manufacturing establishments from 23 industries bracketed into technological levels intensity. Ordinary least squares regressions were run to indicate the relationship of dependency and explanatory power between variables. The results showed that mid-low technology level industries have greater impact on the China’s GDP; however, no technology level industry really influences the HDI.

The methodology was based on interviews and statistical analyses of online data. The qualitative results demonstrated that within NPOs, neither the marketing strategy nor the fundraising has been greatly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. NPOs employ a variety of strategies, including value co-creation activities (events), which is a key element in influencing engagement and donation. The quantitative findings showed that ''dialogue'' is the most frequent of the value co-creation elements (dialogue, access, risk sharing, and transparency-DART) in the media (posts) under consideration. In general, linear regression indicated that, after the beginning of the pandemic, these DART elements may predict online interaction and intention to donate. Shares and comments had a weak R 2 before the pandemic outbreak and a strong R 2 after it; that may be explained by the fact that people spent more time online after the outbreak.
