This secondary scientific research follows the modality of review research through the systematic literature review (SLR) technique and aims to answer the following question: What methods in the literature use optimization techniques to develop Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA)? The objective is to identify and map information, relate their applications, and provide a critical analysis. The research was conducted in a global context, on April 2, 2022, with no time horizon limit, in English, using Harzing's Publish or Perish tool and search sources: Scopus®, Web of Science™, and Google Scholar. After the automatic exclusion of duplicate titles, the selection of articles was carried out in five further steps: first filtering, second filtering, third filtering, fourth filtering, and finally the snowball system. Regarding the years of selected publications, a slow but continuous upward trend (growth) can be seen. A diversity of journals can be observed and that most methods integrating optimization and LCSA focus on each product/system or application. Each optimization model proposal has its specific characteristics when combined with LCSA. Overall, there is a greater frequency of articles that propose to evaluate by comparing alternative products/supply chains/production processes, followed by those that use optimization for product development in selecting the best design from a set of alternatives. This research confirms that Operational Research (OR) operates in different segments and can use different techniques to obtain optimal solutions and decision support. The optimization techniques found in this or other literature reviews should be evaluated against an established analytical model by applying them to the same case study.
本次二次科学研究遵循综述研究的模式，通过系统文献综述(SLR)技术，旨在回答以下问题:文献中哪些方法使用优化技术来开发生命周期可持续性评估(LCSA)?目标是识别和映射信息，关联它们的应用程序，并提供关键的分析。该研究于2022年4月2日在全球范围内进行，没有时间限制，以英文进行，使用Harzing的“发表或灭亡”工具，搜索来源:Scopus®，Web of Science™和Google Scholar。在自动排除重复标题后，文章的选择进一步进行五步:第一过滤，第二过滤，第三过滤，第四过滤，最后是滚雪球系统。从所选出版物的年份来看，可以看到缓慢但持续的上升趋势。可以观察到各种各样的期刊，并且大多数集成优化和LCSA的方法都专注于每个产品/系统或应用。每种优化模型方案在与LCSA结合时都有其特定的特点。总的来说，有更多的文章建议通过比较替代产品/供应链/生产过程来进行评估，其次是那些使用优化来从一组替代方案中选择最佳设计的产品开发。本研究证实了运筹学(OR)在不同的领域中运作，可以使用不同的技术来获得最优的解决方案和决策支持。在本文或其他文献综述中发现的优化技术应该通过将它们应用于相同的案例研究来对已建立的分析模型进行评估。

To optimize the design and execution of an enterprise, the first design solutions can be defined based on the concept of modular coordination associated with the interoperability and efficiency of BIM tools. The objective of this paper was to apply the concept of modular coordination associated with BIM in the architectural design process of a residential condominium, to explore the possibilities of project customization. To this end, two work fronts were adopted, the development of the design flexibility and customization process and the development of an application on the BIM platform. As a result, the modular coordination applied to the design and customization, associated with the customization of the BIM tool, proved to be viable, considering the expectations of the company studied about the rationalization of the design and execution processes. The customization of the space by the client added social value to the project from the beginning, and the predefinition of the finishing and construction system added economic and environmental value to the project. It was also verified that the use of modular coordination in the development of the architectural project of a residential condominium generated several benefits, highlighting the flexibility and customization of the project for each residence, the viability of using the BIM tool, and the rationalization of the construction process.

The complexity that has characterized market relations in recent years, with demands for product and process innovation, has even had repercussions on more traditional activities, such as the civil construction segment. Behind only agriculture, the construction industry represents 13% of the global GDP and its volume is US$ 8 trillion per year. However, construction projects often exceed budget by 80%, and deadlines by 20 months. Between 8% and 10% of productivity gains are related to the insertion of technologies (IPEA, 2022). In the field of civil construction, these digital technologies, such as cloud computing, automation, virtual reality and augmented reality, 3D modeling, communication applications and BIM—Building Information Modeling and even machine learning, have been called Construction 4.0. This article evaluates the feasibility of replacing the use of Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS) by the use of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). For this, it presents a comparison in the use of equipment for carrying out planimetric surveys in civil construction, using as an example the UAV and the TLS—more modern equipment, in addition to the total station—more conventional equipment—for surveying control points. The results show that in the UAV image processing, the RMSE presented a centimeter accuracy (1.93044 cm) for the model. Even if the accuracy of the models generated by TLS is millimetric, it can be considered that the results obtained here were satisfactory, however it is necessary to apply imaging techniques more efficiently to obtain a more accurate product, in order to arrive at millimeter accuracy. Studies on better positioning of targets and georeferencing of models would also be of great contribution to applications in civil construction.
近年来市场关系的复杂性，以及对产品和工艺创新的需求，甚至对更传统的活动产生了影响，例如土木建筑部分。仅次于农业的建筑业占全球GDP的13%，其规模为每年8万亿美元。然而，建设项目经常超出预算80%，最后期限超过20个月。8%至10%的生产率增长与技术的引入有关(IPEA, 2022年)。在民用建筑领域，云计算、自动化、虚拟现实和增强现实、3D建模、通信应用、BIM-Building Information modeling甚至机器学习等数字技术被称为建筑4.0。本文评估了使用无人机(UAV)取代地面激光扫描仪(TLS)的可行性。为此，本文介绍了在民用建筑中进行平面测量的设备使用的比较，以无人机和tls(更现代化的设备)为例，此外还有全站仪(更传统的设备)用于测量控制点。结果表明，在无人机图像处理中，该模型的RMSE精度达到厘米(1.93044 cm)。即使TLS生成的模型精度是毫米级的，也可以认为这里得到的结果是令人满意的，但是为了达到毫米级的精度，需要更有效地应用成像技术来获得更精确的产品。研究更好的目标定位和模型的地理参考也将对土木工程的应用有很大的贡献。

This paper illustrates how small and medium-sized farmers can resolve the complex issue of poultry manure disposal by implementing an innovative technology with the aims of reducing emissions and waste and transforming manure into precious resources for the production of energy and fertilizers. After a literature review, a case study is analyzed to identify the main elements of a circular business model that can realize a strategic priority, such as defining production and consumption processes compatible with sustainability, circularity, and resilience. This paper identifies the main elements that constitute the “value proposition,” “value creation and delivery,” and “value captured,” showing the potential benefits in terms of competitiveness and profitability. This good practice may be replicated by other breeding and agricultural companies that want to be sustainable and resilient. The analyzed topic is a key concern given the great quantity of energy and chemical substances used by farms and the challenges posed by current dramatic events, such as the Russia–Ukraine conflict and the COVID-19 pandemic, which have led to less availability of energy and fertilizers and unsustainable prices.

The use of vertical transportation equipment in Civil Construction, such as Mobile Elevating Work Platforms - MEWP had optimized activities, avoiding wasted time and simplifying. However, brings in addiction to risks inherent to mechanical equipment, the height factor, increasing the probability of accidents occurrences. The aim of this work was to identify the risks of accidents and nonconformities with the Brazilian legislation present in the activities using MEWP, in order to propose measures of control and systematization of the actions, to integrate accident prevention in construction sites. For this purpose, a checklist was developed and applied in a large Construction workplace located in the Metropolitan Region of Recife-Brazil. According to the data obtained, a list of control guidelines and safety measures was elaborated, identifying the responsibilities of users and operators in services using MEWP. It was observed that the irregularities found are due factors related to operation, maintenance and use inspection of the equipment and significant occurrence of irregularities such as absence of work area isolation, daily inspections and electrical grounding in motorized MEWP. These facts need for improvements making improvements on training and inspections to ensure the fulfillment of the safety standards and an accident-free work environment.

Organizational culture is one of the resources used by companies to obtain competitive advantage and organizational sustainability, whether by financial, social or environmental efficiency (Chatman & O’Reilly, 2016; Dyck et al., 2019). Another resource that is being encouraged to try and achieve sustainability is Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), which can be facilitated or inhibited by organizational culture (Leandro & Rebelo, 2011; Shanak et al., 2020). Therefore, this study aims to analyze the relationship of organizational culture and CSR practices on environmental performance in companies listed on [B]³ (Brasil, Bolsa, Balcão), São Paulo’s stock exchange. The results indicated that there are no direct relations between organizational culture, environmental performance and the mediating effect; however, at the significance level of 10%, companies with high polluting potential become more harmful to the environment when there is a predominance of market and hierarchical culture.
组织文化是公司用来获得竞争优势和组织可持续性的资源之一，无论是通过财务、社会还是环境效率(Chatman & O 'Reilly, 2016;Dyck et al.， 2019)。另一个被鼓励尝试和实现可持续发展的资源是企业社会责任(CSR)，这可以通过组织文化来促进或抑制(Leandro & Rebelo, 2011;Shanak et al.， 2020)。因此，本研究旨在分析圣保罗证券交易所[B]³(Brasil, Bolsa, balc)上市公司的组织文化和企业社会责任实践对环境绩效的关系。结果表明:组织文化、环境绩效与中介效应之间不存在直接关系;然而，在10%的显著性水平下，当存在市场优势和等级文化时，具有高污染潜力的企业对环境的危害更大。

This study investigates the impact of green human resource management (GHRM) practices on sustainable performance (SP) in Qatari private companies. A questionnaire survey was conducted among 216 private companies, including top management, human resource managers, quality managers, and employees. Reliability and validity tests were performed on the survey forms, followed by a partial least squares structural equation modelling (PLS-SEM) technique to evaluate the hypothesis. The study found evidence that GHRM practices have a positive impact on SP outcomes in Qatar's private companies. This empirical link between GHRM practices and SP contributes to the literature on GHRM. The results further showed that GHRM practices can lead to green empowerment among employees, thereby improving long-term sustainability. The research demonstrates the importance of GHRM practices for private companies to achieve sustainable development goals. The paper highlights the need to incorporate GHRM practices in the private sector to encourage employees to take an active role in promoting environmental sustainability, leading to long-term business success. The study offers practical implications for private companies in Qatar, suggesting that GHRM practices should be implemented to improve SP.

The COVID-19 crisis has had an impact on every aspect of human life, including business. Many industries ground to a halt, and some businesses had to resort to liquidation. In this context, corporate governance was not spared the effects of the pandemic either, as the crisis almost paralyzed the entire business ecosystem. Therefore, this research aims to determine the most affected area of companies’ corporate governance and examine how companies changed their corporate governance structure in response to the COVID-19 crisis to ensure the survival of their business. Thirty-seven publicly listed companies were selected as the samples of the study. Their annual reports were analyzed using a qualitative data analysis technique. The results showed that the majority of companies had to transfer their Annual General Meeting (AGM) or/and Extraordinary General Meeting (EGM) to an online platform, while the shareholders were required to vote electronically. Moreover, some companies had to revise their budget, revisit their strategic plan, reduce director fees, send their directors for additional training, or conduct board evaluations online.
