Nowadays, sustainability and Industry 4.0 (I4.0) are trending concepts used in the literature on industrial processes. Industry 4.0 has been mainly addressed by the current literature from a technological perspective, overlooking sustainability challenges regarding this recent paradigm. The objective of this paper is to evaluate the state of the art of relations between sustainability and I4.0. The goal will be met by (1) mapping and summarizing existing research efforts, (2) identifying research agendas, (3) examining gaps and opportunities for further research. Web of Science, Scopus, and a set of specific keywords were used to select peer-reviewed papers presenting evidence on the relationship between sustainability and I4.0. To achieve this goal, it was decided to use a dynamic methodology called “systematic literature network analysis”. This methodology combines a systematic literature review approach with the analysis of bibliographic networks. Selected papers were used to build a reference framework formed by I4.0 technologies and sustainability issues. The paper contributes to the Sustainable Industry 4.0 reference framework with application procedures. It aims to show how I4.0 can support ideas of sustainability. The results showed that apart from a huge contribution to both concepts, many papers do not provide an insight into realization of initiatives to introduce Sustainable Industry 4.0.

PurposeIndustry 4.0, artificial intelligence and digitalization have got a momentum in health care. However, scholars and practitioners do not agree on their implications on health services' quality and effectiveness. The article aims at shedding light on the applications, aftermaths and drawbacks of industry 4.0 in health care, summarizing the state of the art.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review was undertaken. We arranged an ad hoc research design, which was tailored to the study purposes. Three citation databases were queried. We collected 1,194 scientific papers which were carefully considered for inclusion in this systematic literature review. After three rounds of analysis, 40 papers were taken into consideration.FindingsIndustry 4.0, artificial intelligence and digitalization are revolutionizing the design and the delivery of care. They are expected to enhance health services' quality and effectiveness, paving the way for more direct patient–provider relationships. In addition, they have been argued to allow a more appropriate use of available resources. There is a dark side of health care 4.0 involving both management and ethical issues.Research limitations/implicationsIndustry 4.0 in health care should not be conceived as a self-nourishing innovation; rather, it needs to be carefully steered at both the policy and management levels. On the one hand, comprehensive governance models are required to realize the full potential of health 4.0. On the other hand, the drawbacks of industry 4.0 should be timely recognized and thoroughly addressed.Originality/valueThe article contextualizes the state of the art of industry 4.0 in the health care context, providing some insights for further conceptual and empirical developments.

Este artículo se deriva de un proyecto investigativo que apunta al análisis del estado del arte sobre la gentrificación urbana en Colombia. La sistematización de investigaciones y artículos afines al desplazamiento, acompañada de un marco de referencia soportado en la gentrificación, la renta diferencial –rent gap- y el acoso –mobbing- inmobiliario, ayudaron a la reinterpretación de tales investigaciones para concluir de éstas el uso de un mecanismo para desplazar. Concretamente se puntualiza en lo sucedido en barrios del centro de Bogotá, desde la renovación urbana en Santa Bárbara (1980), calificada como inmoral, hasta las intervenciones en Santa Inés -El cartucho- (1998) y en el Voto Nacional -El Bronx- (2016), para develar la instrumentalización de ciertos seres humanos en la aplicación estrategias de acoso inmobiliario para desplazar disimuladamente, desvalorizar propiedades, especular con el suelo y de paso alentar la gentrificación. ABSTRACTThis paper is derived from a research project seeking to analyze the state of the art on urban gentrification in Colombia. A systematic literature review around displacement was carried out accompanied by a reference framework on gentrification, differential rent -rent gap– and real estate “mobbing”, which lead to a reinterpretation of such research works to conclude from these the use of a mechanism for displacement. Specifically, this study focuses on the experiences in neighborhoods in Bogota’s downtown; from the urban renewal in Santa Barbara (1980) qualified as immoral, to the interventions in Santa Inés -El Cartucho- (1998) and in Voto Nacional - El Bronx- (2016), whereupon, it was revealed a human instrumentation in the deployment of real estate “mobbing”, towards disguising displacement, devaluating properties, speculating with land and, in the meantime, encouraging gentrification.Keywords: Gentrification, rent gap, real estate mobbing
