ObjectiveTo describe the temporal relationship between the road traffic mortality rate and gross domestic product (GDP) per capita in Brazil, and make an annual prediction of the evolution of both indicators until 2020, the end of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) monitoring period.MethodsBrazilian road traffic mortality rate official data were described from 2000 to 2015, while the GDP per capita official data were described from 2000 to 2013. GDP per capita and traffic mortality rate predictions were performed until 2020 using fractional polynomial analysis. Correlations were assessed using Pearson’s correlation coefficient.ResultsFrom 2000 to 2015, there were over 446 000 road crashes fatal victims in Brazil. The road traffic mortality rate was positively related to the Brazilian GDP per capita, with a strong correlation (r=0.89; p<0.001) from 2000 to 2013 and a mild correlation (r=0.55; p<0.001) considering the whole period (2000–2020). The predictions show a reduction on the road traffic mortality rates in Brazil; however, if this same reduction pace continues, we estimate that the country will reach 12.4 road crash deaths per 100 000 inhabitants in 2020, a reduction of only 13.4% compared with 2015.ConclusionIf the same mortality reduction pace continues in Brazil, the country will not reach the proposed SDG, which is to reduce by half the number of deaths per 100 000 inhabitants. In addition, an intertwined conciliation between economical growth, sustainable development and public policies is needed in order to meet such an overwhelming goal.

The article examines the connection between international development assistance provided by the United States and the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the recipient countries. It shows the change in approaches to international development aid and SDGs during the presidencies of Obama, Trump and Biden. Author discusses the problems of assessing the results and effectiveness of aid at the macro level and makes a quantitative assessment of the relationship between indicators of international aid, the index of sustainable development and macroeconomic indicators of countries receiving US assistance. The article concludes that no relationship could be identified between the indicators of the provision of international assistance provided by the United States and the indicators of the sustainable development index of the countries receiving this assistance. At the same time, there is a relationship between the indicators of GDP per capita and the Sustainable Development Index. There are also signs of a relationship between the Sustainable Development Index and the volume of US aid per capita, of the recipient country - a lower Sustainable Development Index of a country is usually accompanied by a higher level of aid per capita.

Environmental pollution is known as one of the biggest challenges for human development. Thats why the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) have also focused on reducing environmental pollution. However, harmful chemicals and air, water and land pollution and contamination have been targeted to reduce the diseases and mortality rate by 2030. Especially in India, the road sweepers and scavengers have contributed a lot in reducing the pollution rate. They have performed a lot in cleaning up the dirt, not only from garbage to sanitizing the roads they contributed when the whole world, even India was fighting with the Covid-19 pandemic but it was very unfortunate that their caste identity has become a stigma on their head which becomes the matter of inclusion of caste in common congregation. They have been suffered the most for the centuries on the basis of the same. Even after doing so much service to the society, oppression with this community has not been reduced because of the constructed perception of the society that these people are considered inferior and polluted. Therefore, this paper tries to explore the real factors behind this social perception towards caste identity and examine the role of lower caste community in sustainable development by cleaning the city especially in Delhi during the pandemic Covid-19.

India is home to millions of potential learners at various levels. The current educational system and its infrastructure is bursting at its seams due to the bourgeoning pressure of demands on it. Open education is often touted as the way out of this immense demand generated pressure. However, the slow assimilation of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) stays put on such expectations. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) formulated by the UN lays down the road map for making the world a better place to dwell in all aspects of human existence. Education lies at the heart of attaining the goal of sustainable development. The limitations imposed by time, place and other barriers can be effectively met only by the infusion of new technology into open education systems, in countries like India. The substantial internet penetration in India gives it a unique advantage to affect a massive technology driven growth in high quality education.

Sustainable development is a key task for governments that should end poverty, ensure prosperity, create better conditions for health, education or social needs. The set of indicators to be monitored for evaluation of successes or failures of the sustainable development varies by intergovernmental organizations like OECD or EU. To discover the status and dynamics of variables which are part of the sustainable development goals of the OECD countries is the main aim of the presented analysis. To measure the convergence of socio-economic indicators the coefficient of variation was used. The Pearson’s correlations coefficient and regression analysis were applied to detect the linear relationship between a pair of variables. The OECD countries were compared not only by using univariate statistical methods but also by applying a multivariate approach. The cluster analysis and principal component analysis were used for a set of indicators to monitor the countries from a wider perspective. The analyzed indicators GDP per capita or real change in GDP per capita belong to variables of economic activity. Variables of life expectancy at birth, standardized death rates for noncommunicable diseases belong to indicators of health. Altogether fifteen selected indicators were used for a multivariate analysis of OECD countries in two periods of time.

In recent years, healthcare has become a fundamental pillar of the level of well-being of any society. With the aim of improving the lives of countries and societies, in 2015 the United Nations (UN) approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Among the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set out in the Agenda are health and well-being (O3) and the reduction of inequalities (O10). The general objective of this paper is to analyse the impact that the level of socioeconomic development, as well as the evolution of inequalities, have had on public spending on health in European Union countries. The research methodology is based on the application of a regression model and statistical techniques such as sigma convergence, beta convergence and the Gini index. We can see that the levels of public spending on health per capita, the level of socio-economic development and the degree of inequality are closely related in these countries. For this reason, we suggest maintaining sustainable economic growth to reduce the economic disparities between EU countries, and also the current differences in public spending on health per capita.

Abstract The transformative research lens incorporates ideas such as consciously addressing power differences with strategies that allow for the inclusion of the voices of the full range of stakeholders, including those who are most marginalized. The goal of transformative research is to support the development of culturally responsive interventions that foster increased respect for human rights and achievement of social, economic, and environmental justice. In this article, we use a case study from Universitas Padjadjaran in Indonesia to illustrate the application of a transformative approach to research in a complex setting in which the rights of those living in poverty are not respected and economic development occurs at the expense of environmental degradation. We discuss a transformative framing for research associated with the development of interventions designed to support West Java, Indonesia in moving forward toward achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the goals established by the United Nations to address inequities. The road to transformation is not simple or smooth, but the combination of a transformative approach to research with the development of transformative interventions provides a hopeful pathway.

The paper proposes a different approach for the analysis of the sustainable development in the context of 2030 Agenda. The authors defined and used a cumulative model. For the beginning, the authors compare the dependent variable with the regressors of the four reporting entities: EU28, Romania, Turkey and Switzerland. These entities cover EU, the country of the authors, a candidate country and non-EU country, as well. The analysis is focused on the Goal 10 from the 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development, covers 2000–2017 and is based on the latest official data from Eurostat. The model used by the authors generated high statistical representativeness. The statistical tests demonstrate the model’s homogeneity. A distinct part of the paper is focused on the risk analysis. The authors basically propose a distinct approach which is usefully for the central and regional decision makers. The statistical period took into consideration is good enough to support pertinent conclusions. The analysis leads to the conclusion that Romania can decrease the disparities regarding the sustainable development. On the other hand, the Romania’s progress in achieving sustainable development’s targets is lowest than the EU average. The model proposed in the paper supports the decision makers in achieving a more performant management regarding sustainable development goals. The paper represents a theoretical approach with great applicability to economic development.

The Sustainable Development (SD) of a community is intimately linked to business. This topic turns out to be of great relevance for the economy and sustainability of a certain territory. Companies provide solutions to different factors that take shape within the company, but its origin and consequences are in all dimensions of the SD. The importance of companies in the SD has been recognized by the UN by making them co-responsible 11 of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, at least - SDGs (UN, 2015). For a company, life expectancy is determined by the different factors that affect it positively or negatively. This is fundamental. What factors influence the duration of the companies? This document presents the results of an investigation to establish the life expectancy of the manufacturing companies of the city of Monteria, Colombia under the period 2013-2018, based on the analysis of the official data contrasted with a hypothesis and interviews with the actors to determine possible causes and relationships.Keywords: Business sustainability, Manufacturing, Business lifetime expectancy
