The rapid pace of urbanization has presented cities worldwide with a range of complex issues pertaining to the management of resources, reduction of waste, and promotion of sustainable practices. The concepts of circular economies and sustainable smart cities have arisen as viable solutions, converging to establish a revolutionary framework for the future of urban living. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis using literature focusing on the past ten years (2013–2022) of research on the circular economy and smart cities using VOSviewer. The most frequently used Scopus database was used to extract bibliometric data. 163 articles were considered for the analysis. This study utilizes co-authorship, co-occurrence, citation analysis and bibliographic coupling of author keywords while grap0hically mapping the bibliographic material using VOS viewer software Version 1.6.19. The bibliographic analysis reveals that the significant themes published in journals revolve around “circular economy”, “Sustainable development”, “sustainability”, “smart city”, “waste management”, “recycling”, “Sustainability”, “climate change”, “smart technologies”, “municipal solid waste”, “renewable energy”, and “planning”. The results would provide a robust base for more research in this area. The research work paves the way for future research in the related areas and issues of the domain, as it is an emerging issue in research, and many problems are untapped.

Industry 4.0, the new production paradigm, has been arousing the interest of researchers around the world, due to its potential for improvements for companies, however little has been studied of its potential in the construction industry. This paper aims to identify which enabling technologies of Industry 4.0 can be applied to improve job security in civil construction. The methodology adopted was literature review, followed by field study / research with interviews with specialists, to identify the possibility of improving work safety in civil construction, through the technologies of Industry 4.0. The results of this research showed that the main technologies listed were: (1st) 3D printing and drone, (2nd) Augmented Reality and Wearable sensors, (3rd) safety vest, (4th) Virtual Reality, (5th) Bionic exoskeleton, (6th) Building Information Modeling (BIM), Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), helmet with sensors and smart helmets, (7th) Internet of Things (IoT) and finally, (8th) concrete mixer truck. The theoretical and practical contribution of this work is given by the presentation of technologies from Industry 4.0 that can maximize work safety in the construction industry, mitigating accidents at work, thus collaborating for the management of technology and innovation.

Objective of the study: Statistics shows a worrisome picture of challenges to be overcome by cybersecurity in the healthcare sector. Data evidence that the healthcare industry experiences four data breaches per week in the United States alone, making it the sector most often affected by digital security breaches. Thus, the current article aims to investigate risk management focusing on identifying requirements and best practices for healthcare data security systems.Methodology/approach: It is based on a systematic literature review. Studies on state-of-the-art data security systems were collected and interpreted through content analysis. Assertive keywords, source-selection criteria, interpretation of selected articles, and database analysis were used to form the investigated sample and to represent the broad applications of this study’s objective.Originality/Relevance: The current study contributes to define a set of minimum requirements and best practices that can be adopted to manage data security risks in the healthcare sector and medical devices.Main results: Results have pointed out that there is no fully effective way to prevent all violations by cybercriminals; however, cybersecurity must be part of management processes adopted by different organizations.Theoretical/methodological contributions: It is found that cybersecurity has a great importance for the healthcare sector, the information generated is rich in content and that cybersecurity is neglected in the sector, that is not able to deal with the reality of cyber threats in the industry 4.0 context.Social /management contributions: By the good risk management practices and the adoption of minimum security items, institutions can ensure that managers can prepare and respond efficiently to cyber risks.

Este estudo tem como objetivo explorar como o tema sustentabilidade se desdobra no âmbito da gestão de projetos. Como metodologia de pesquisa foram utilizadas técnicas de revisão sistemática de literatura e análise de conteúdo para identificação e interpretação das principais publicações acerca do tema na literatura científica dos últimos vinte anos. A amostra obtida à partir da base ISI Web of Knowledge, totalizou apenas 23 artigos oriundos de setores, países e áreas de conhecimento variados, com predominância de publicações ligadas à construção civil, com maior avanço em projetos de “construções verdes” certificadas. Os resultados revelam que o conceito de sustentabilidade ainda vem carregado das perspectivas econômica e ambiental, dado que o termo é aplicado na perspectiva do Triple-Bottom Line em menos da metade da amostra e, além disso, a análise do conceito de sustentabilidade evidenciou que a dimensão social ainda apresenta lacunas em face às demais dimensões. Outra contribuição deste estudo foi a aplicação experimental do modelo generalista de 3 eixos de sustentabilidade em gestão de projeto por meio da análise de conteúdos qualitativa: esse modelo se mostrou potencialmente capaz de avaliar ou direcionar projetos de qualquer setor com duas dimensões complementares (sistema e tecnologias associados aos processos gerenciais e ao seu produto, e pessoas/governança). Tal modelo constitui uma abordagem promissora a ser aprofundada em pesquisas futuras sobre essa questão relevante da busca de gestão sustentável dos projetos. DOI:10.5585/gep.v4i1.123

Despite the increasing diffusion of project management, it is still incipient the discussion of issues related to sustainability in environmental, social and economic dimensions. This study aims to assess the integration of sustainability into project management. Was used as methodological approach an exploratory research through ex-post fact study conducted in two projects in the food service companies. Data were gathered through project documents and semi-structured interview with projects’stakeholders. As results are presented the evaluation tool of sustainability in projects, as well its practical application. It concludes that the pilot tool proposed presents a systematic logic with applicability for assessing sustainability in the context of project management. Finally, the results show a limited use of sustainability concepts in project management and which still the economic dimension overlaps the environmental and social dimension

Healthcare 4.0 is the application of Industry 4.0 principles in healthcare, enabling real-time personalization of patient care. Although it has gained relevance in recent years due to the benefits of Industry 4.0, the concept is still little known by professionals in the Brazilian and international health sector. Using the literature review method and survey research with 26 experts in Healthcare 4.0, this study aims to identify opportunities and challenges in Healthcare 4.0 implementation projects in the health sector in Brazil. The relevance of this study is the identification of the main opportunities found: digital technology facilitates the collection of patient data; the strategic implementation of Healthcare 4.0 can bring competitive advantages to the organization; and the main challenges: the need for digital training of healthcare professionals for Healthcare 4.0, and the need to motivate everyone involved to adopt Healthcare 4.0, contributing to theory. The practical contribution is to help the healthcare professionals involved to understand the relevant points for successful Healthcare 4.0 implementation projects.
