Coronavirus's spread forced educational authorities to implement emergency measures to combat the discontinuity of learning and spread the virus. In this sense, most institutions of higher education in the world are adopting emergency remote education. Based on the sudden changes and challenges in this context, this paper aimed to identify important factors for this remote learning process. For that, a quantitative study for explanatory purposes was employed. The research question was investigated through a factorial experiment, carried out with 1069 undergraduate students from a Brazilian university through an online instrument. Analysis of variance was used to assess the effect of factors on student learning during the remote period. Findings reveal direct lessons contribute more to students' learning, regardless of other factors. Also, there is a preference for group work dynamics and the Google Meet platform. Such preferences are higher for hard-science students. Results may guide university managers towards implementing the most favorable learning practices in a remote learning situation. Besides, they may help develop strategies for creating resilient and sustainable educational models based on practices that enhance students' learning.

Healthcare environments are known to be intense in knowledge and constant stress. Exchanging information through social interactions in the work environment was addressed in this study of an emergency department in order to answer the following research question: “Regarding knowledge management, what are the relationships between resilient performance and burnout?”. To do so, we used the resilience social network questionnaire and the Maslach Burnout Inventory. Results showed that resilience is positively correlated to burnout. Nurses are the most resilient actors. In addition, professional experience and participating in huddles relate to a greater contribution to the organisation's resilience performance. Therefore, the constant use of resilient capacity takes a toll on health care professionals. Knowledge sharing also promotes informal leadership, providing more skilled professionals and highly qualified human capital.

The global trend of integrating recycled raw materials into asphalt mixtures is increasing due to its environmental benefits. However, awareness about the comparable or superior performance of these mixtures compared to those made solely from virgin materials remains limited. This study aims to introduce a sustainable Product-Service System (PSS) using the Requirements Engineering approach in an asphalt plant industry through a method named R-PSS (Requirements - Product-Service System. Our solution facilitates greater incorporation of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) in asphalt production, offering sustainability advantages such as reduced virgin material consumption, partnerships with local suppliers, and improved economic efficiency. We evaluated the solution's impacts on environmental, social, and economic sustainability within the PSS. The assessment revealed significant benefits, including a reduced environmental footprint and an extended system lifespan. These results highlight the importance of adopting a Circular Economy approach that meets market needs while adhering to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.
