A indústria química, considerando os impactos ambientais decorrentes das suas atividades, está sendo cobrada e monitorada pela sociedade e pelo governo. A legalidade em torno destas empresas no quesito ambiental vem sendo acompanhada com preocupação. No ano de 2010, foi aprovada a Politica Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos. Trata-se de uma Lei que institui uma relação de responsabilidade compartilhada entre o poder público, fabricantes, comerciantes e consumidor final no que se refere ao gerenciamento do ciclo de vida dos produtos e a sua destinação final, ou seja, a sua Logística Reversa. Deste modo, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o comportamento das indústrias de tintas da região Sul do Brasil em relação às práticas de Logística Reversa. Para tanto, foi realizada uma pesquisa de natureza quantitativa a partir de questionário online enviado a um representante de 29 indústrias químicas localizadas na região do Sul do Brasil. Obteve-se um retorno de 25 questionários e os principais resultados demonstram que a aplicação da logística reversa, tanto com foco na preocupação com os impactos ambientais causados, quanto com o atendimento à Política Nacional de Resíduos Sólidos, ainda não está presente na totalidade das empresas pesquisadas. Além dos custos envolvidos neste processo, fatores como a falta de conhecimento por parte dos clientes sobre a possibilidade de retorno da embalagem, e a falta de consciência ambiental, como a chance de contaminação dos solos, por exemplo, também foram relatados pelos respondentes. Palavras-chave: Sustentabilidade. Logística reversa. Política Nacional de resíduos sólidos.ABSTRACTThe chemical industries, considering environmental impacts from its activities, has being charged and monitored by the society and government. Legal aspects regarding those companies on environmental questions came with some concern. On 2010 was approved by the Congress, the National Politics on Solids Waste. This regulation consists on relate the shared responsibility between public authorities, manufacturers, traders and final consumers on management of on products life cycle and their final destination, that means Reverse Logistic. To have a better understanding, a quantitative research was made by sending an online survey to representative of 29 chemical industries located in South of Brazil. The sample was composed by 25 industries and the main results shows that applying the Reverse Logistic, both focus on environmental impact concern and being compliance with National Politics Solids Waste, are still a restrict number of companies to following completely the law. Besides the costs involved on these processes, elements like lack of knowledge from part of customers on the possibility to return de package and lack of environmental conscience, like the possibility of ground contamination for example, also were related by the surveyed companies.Keywords: Sustainability.

Threats to life and health, the public health crisis associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, have led to 1) accelerated development of vaccines, 2) adverse psychological reactions in the population.Aim: to identify differences in stress, anxiety, protective behavior strategies, and the socio-demographic characteristics of online survey participants, who reported opposing attitudes to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination.Materials and Methods. In December 2020-January 2021, 131 respondents were assessed (men—21.4%). The Psychological Stress Scale (PSM 25), original questionnaires to evaluate pandemic concerns and protective behavior strategies with special question about COVID-19 vaccine acceptance were used. Effect sizes obtained using Cohen’s d and Cramer’s V measures were calculated for groups, the differences between which were significant (p≤0.05).Results. A 47.3% sample, having PSM-25 rates above the threshold (100 points), showed a distress reaction to the pandemic due to anxiety stress. Compared to the spring of 2020, the number of concerns associated with a noticeable stress growth (ES≥0.34) increased from two to six. Psychological distress, concerns about the possible lack of medication for daily intake, harsh social consequences and self-isolation were associated with only foreign producer vaccine acceptance (ES=0.3-0.5). Absence of excessive fears for own life, concerns about the lack of personal protective equipment and unacceptance of gloves as a measure to prevent infection (ES=0.3-0.4) were important factors associated with any producer vaccine acceptance. Men, comparing to women, were more positive in vaccine acceptance.Conclusion. The anxiety distress is an important factor in the rational attitude to coronavirus infection vaccine.

The COVID-19 pandemic has evolved rapidly and affected almost all the world's countries, creating unprecedented chaos on human lives, physical health, mental wellbeing, and the world economy. During this time, digital space has become an indispensable global means of communication, entertainment, and social interaction. However, high reliance on digital tools increases the risk of being prey to cyberattacks. In order to explore the cybercrime threat landscape, empirical research was conducted to examine the shared experiences related to cybercrime threats during the enforcement of the Movement Control Order in Malaysia. Data was collected using an online survey among 332 respondents across Malaysia. The finding stipulated that most of the respondents comprised females aged between 18 and 28 years old. The result also indicated that majority of female became victims of online phishing/malware distribution [(M = 0.58, SD = 0.13); t (113) = 2.24, p = 0.02] and online sexual harassment [(M = 0.56, SD = 0.11); t (107) = 2.38, p = 0.01]. The understanding of cybercrime experiences faced by the public during MCO is essential to help law enforcement agencies to stay vigilant on issues related to public safety and security during unprecedented conditions.

Final Sample

PurposeThe study aims to identify the antecedents of consumers' collaborative fashion purchase intention by analysing innovativeness, self-confidence and consumer spending self-control variables as antecedents.Design/methodology/approachA descriptive quantitative research was performed to verify the influence of such variables based on data collected through an online survey and analysed by structural equation modelling (SEM), which resulted in a final sample of 230 valid respondents.FindingsThe main findings include innovativeness as a strong antecedent of intention to consume collaborative fashion. However, self-confidence and consumer spending self-control are not related to adopting this consumption format, suggesting that collaborative fashion can promote reverse effects by stimulating excessive consumption.Practical implicationsThe results can assist companies of collaborative fashion to enhance their strategies to attract consumers looking for creative reuse of items, for example, by offering repair, revitalisation services and promoting meetings to share tips on how to reuse items creatively. Companies can also improve communication campaigns by focussing on the product itself, rather than price, which seems to be more effective in the context of collaborative fashion consumption.Originality/valueThe study is amongst the first to analyse the influence of consumers' personality traits towards collaborative fashion consumption and provide the scope with findings on the interrelationship between personality traits and consumer rationality, which can broaden the understanding about the potential rebound effects in this context.

Improving ICT management strategies is an ongoing need for almost all organizations. At the same time, the challenges that BYOD brings to the organization need to be carefully considered. BYOD terminology can refer to related concepts, technologies, and strategies that enable employees to use organizational resources. The use of different databases, applications, and personal devices such as smartphones, laptops, tablets, and any other mobile device such as memory chips and external hard drives can provide examples of these resources. The implementation of BYOD has brought a clear advantage to the organization. However, the use of BYOD in organizations can pose some risks and threats. The main purpose of this study was to analyze BYOD risks in Afghan organizations through cross-sectional quantitative research methods. An online survey of 24 questions was conducted on various aspects of BYOD risk from various organizations in Afghanistan. Through the use of raw data, survey results related to BYOD implementation in Afghanistan have been collected. Thus, the researchers found out that IT staffs have a low level of awareness of the risks and challenges of BYOD security and the latest technologies used by Afghan organizations. Finally, recommendations have been made.

The Impact

ABSTRACT Objective: With the proclamation of Bill 110 in September 2005, Ontario became the first jurisdiction in Canada to mandate that gunshot wounds (GSWs) be reported to authorities. We sought to evaluate the impact of Bill 110, including the awareness of, experience with and opinions about the new law among Ontario emergency physicians (EPs), the public and the police. Methods: An online survey was distributed to all members of the Section on Emergency Medicine at the Ontario Medical Association. The public survey consisted of 3 closed questions and was performed by the polling firm Ipsos-Reid by telephone. Police opinion was requested through the Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services of the Ontario government. Results: The physician response rate was 25%. The great majority of respondents were aware of the law (93%) and willing to comply (88%), but only half were sure of their obligations and the penalties. Since the law had been proclaimed, the majority (51%) had seen at least 1 GSW victim. Seventy-nine percent reported no problems with either the police or the bill, and 86% perceived no change in relations with patients. Six incidents of patients delaying care were reported. Of the public surveyed, two-thirds were aware of the law. After being informed of the law, almost all (95%) expressed support, and the majority (80%) felt it would not change their relationship with their treating physician. All 47 members of the Ontario Provincial Police who were surveyed agreed that Bill 110 is helpful for shooting investigations, 8 reported that they had personally been involved in cases initiated by a report and 6 had been involved in cases where charges were laid or weapons confiscated. Data on actual reports and results of investigations were not available. Conclusion: Bill 110 seems to have been broadly accepted by the emergency community and endorsed by the public.

Side Effect Severity

Background: Knowledge about a vaccine’s side effects and efficacy is important to improving public vaccine acceptance. This study aimed to detect the safety and efficacy of vaccines among the Egyptian population. Methodology and Results: Data was collected using an online survey from participants who took two doses of the BBIBP-CorV, ChAdOx1, or BNT162 vaccines. Pain at the vaccine injection site, muscle pain, fatigue, dizziness, fever, and headache were the most common side effects after the first and second doses. The number pf side effects was higher in ChAdOx1 than in BNT162 and BBIBP-CorV. Most of the side effects started on the first day after vaccination and persisted for 1–2 days. Vaccinated people with past coronavirus infections before vaccination developed better antibodies than those who were only vaccinated. The side-effect severity was greater after the first dose of BBIBP-CorV and ChAdOx1 than after the second dose, but in contrast, the side-effect severity was greater after the second dose of BNT162 vaccine than after the first dose. ChAdOx1 was more effective than BBIBP-CorV, and one dose of ChAdOx1 produced an immune response similar to that of two doses of BBIBP-CorV. Conclusions: Coronavirus vaccines were well-tolerated, safe, and produced an immune response against the virus in most cases. Most postvaccine side effects were mild to moderate, which indicated the building of immunity by the body for protection.
