Circular economy (CE) has received considerable attention from academia, practitioners and policymakers as a potential solution for the current context of social, food and economic crises, environmental pollution, the continuous decrease of non-renewable resources and continuous increase of the global population. Although the importance of consumer as an active agent to circular process success, studies that address consumer behavior in the context of CE are still limited. Thus, there are relevant gaps in the CE literature, as studies so far have largely neglected the unique customer perspective on the drivers and barriers to CE adoption, particularly in relation to each stage of the customer journey. In this context, through a systematic literature review, this study aims to identify drivers and barriers towards CE related to consumer and classify them in the consumer journey. As results, it was possible to analyze and classify the drivers and barriers towards CE related to consumer in the three phases in the consumer journey: pre-purchase, purchase and post-purchase. In the pre-purchase phase, it identified drivers and barriers related to consumer awareness, knowledge, perceptions, thrill, needs and interest, pressure from community, global climate and consumer’ environmental awareness. The drivers and barriers classified on purchase phase are in regard to consumer behavior, preferences, interest, acceptance and demand, and also consumer behavior in the buying process, price, customer pressure and customer himself. Finally, in the post-purchase phase, only drivers were found, involving customer loyalty and satisfaction, reusing and recycling.

Analysis of the digital hawker economy in Dalian, within the context of global capital expansion and labor alienation, helps understand the dialectical relationship between the formal and informal economies. The study adopts a desktop research approach, utilizing existing data from Dalian Statistics Bureau to demonstrate the interactive nature of the labor process among peddlers, means of production, and labor products, revealing the phenomenon of alienation within this process. By analyzing data provided by ByteDance officials, it becomes evident that the digital peddler economy in Dalian suffers from structural deviations. The pathway for the digital peddler economy lies in establishing digital platforms while avoiding the ideology of consumerism associated with digital goods. To achieve a more visual understanding of the dialectical relationship between formal and informal economies, this study uses R Programming for 3D modeling and regression forecasting analysis of Dalian's formal economy. Additionally, modeling the labor process of Digital Hawkers enhances the understanding of the dialectical relationship between the traditional peddler economy and the digital peddler economy. The research suggests the need to optimize relevant policies for traditional peddlers, allowing Dalian's informal economy to stabilize and complement the formal economy amid global capital expansion. Only through collective efforts from the government, platforms, and society can the healthy development of the digital peddler economy in Dalian be achieved, thereby promoting urban economic prosperity and social progress.

This study intended to examine the effect of Islamic financing modes on profitability of banking institutions in Mogadishu Somalia. In detail, the study examined the effects of Murabaha (cost-plus) and of Mudarabah (profit sharing) on profitability of banking institutions in Mogadishu Somalia. The study used a correlational research design, and data were collected through self-administered questionnaire from 56 respondents. The results indicated that Murabaha and Mudarabah have a statistically significant positive effect on profitability of banking institutions. The findings reveal that a significant increase and adherence to these Islamic modes of financing is expected to significantly improve and increase the profitability of banking institutions. The study concludes that both Murabaha and Mudarabah are vital for Islamic bank performance and profitability. It is recommended to the management of Islamic banks to start putting into consideration clients’ credit rating while determining the mark-up value and at the same time carry out regular and systematic visits to their partners to gain an insight into the operations of the joint venture businesses and also remind them to clear their obligations.

The objective of this study is to analyse relationships between the characteristics of students attending an integrated technical course and their expectations and perceptions by using the SERVQUAL scale. A questionnaire was applied to the students in two municipalities based on a version adapted from the Servqual scale. A pre-test was performed with five students and the final sample had 249 respondents. Descriptive statistics and multiple regression analysis were the techniques used for data analysis. The results show that students of different school years, those who always attended public schools, those who were at the campus of Araranguá, those who intend to follow a career in their field of study, and mainly those intending to take college entrance exams, have different expectations and perceptions of the course quality. The present study concluded that taking the college entrance exam is the characteristic most strongly related to different levels of expectation and perception. However, the results differ partially from the revised literature.

This paper analyses whether there is any relationship between the efficiency level achieved by Euro Area banking groups and their attitude toward high-tech investments proxied by high-tech patents. We measure banking efficiency via Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). The period considered is the decade between 2012 and 2021. The results obtained show that there is a generally negative relationship between the two topics under investigation. The evidence obtained justifies the importance of an appropriate level of attention by regulators since increasing levels of technological innovation pursued through significant growth in intangible assets, could negatively affect the overall financial system efficiency.

Color is a paramount factor that significantly influences the attractiveness of a product. This study investigates the impact of colors on human perception and their subsequent attraction to different colors, ultimately leading to product purchase decisions. The research methodology involved the collection of data from 406 customers in Saudi Arabia, utilizing a convenience sampling approach coupled with a correlation and causal research design. A survey questionnaire was employed to gather the necessary data, which was subsequently analyzed using PLS-SEM (Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling) software. The findings of the study reveal a positive and statistically significant relationship between various factors and purchasing behavior, including mood regulation (0.048, p < 0.05), individual characteristics (0.056, p < 0.05), perceived usefulness (0.065, p < 0.05), perceived ease-of-use (0.146, p < 0.05), instant gratification (0.067, p < 0.05), and compatibility (0.567, p < 0.05). Therefore, based on these outcomes, it can be concluded that the results derived from color research possess qualities that are media-friendly and provocative, exerting a substantial influence on the audience and effectively stimulating product purchases.

This article aims to understand how Human Resources (HR) practices are articulated in the organizational context focused on the insertion and operationalization of sustainability. This is a qualitative research, conducted via case study in a forest operation of a Brazilian company that has sustainability at the core of its business strategy. Direct observation, semi-structured interview, and documentary research were adopted as data collection instruments; the data were analyzed according to thematic analysis of narratives. The results indicate efforts to articulate the organization’s intention to adopt HR practices in the context of sustainability. We also verified that the intertwining of formal HR practices with those situated at the relationship level of groups contributes to the expansion of participation and communication, security culture, and of the generation and sharing of knowledge, enabling a working environment where the value of sustainability is shared, favoring the emergence of the human dimension of sustainability.
