Procrustean Analysis

Abstract: Three mathematical and statistical methods - namely correlation, Redundancy and Procrustean analysis were applied to analyze relationships between ecological factors of environment and health indicators. They used data from the International Organization for Environment Protection (UNEP) and the World Bank (World Bank). Environmental factors include emissions of various pollutants - N2O, NOx, PM10, CO2, and economic factors such as renewable energy resources. Of the indicators of health are considered life expectancy, mortality, morbidity from diabetes and tuberculosis. The results provide a basis for a series of discussions and conclusions. Key words: ecological factors, health indicators, correlation, Redundacy analysis, Procrustean analysis

Foregone Conclusion

In 2005, when James Wolfensohn announced that he would not seek a third term as president of the World Bank, few doubted that another United States national, the choice of the U.S. president, would take his place. Each of the previous eight presidents of the bank had been an American, dating back to the international financial institution's establishment in 1946,and despite private and public grousing by some over the Bush administration's eventual choice of Deputy Secretary of Defense Paul Wolfowitz as Wolfensohn's successor, the appointment was never truly in jeopardy. When the bank's executive directors met to elect a new president, the vote was a foregone conclusion—not because the United States holds a majority of votes itself (it does not), but because a longstanding informal agreement between the United States and the bank's western European stakeholders prescribed that outcome.

Under Lula and Dilma, during the 2003-2013 decade that the World Bank called “the Golden Decade of Brazil”, we had simultaneously economic growth, social inclusion, environment protection and job expansion. With no deficit and very low inflation, and all despite the turbulence of the 2008 crisis. The onslaught on the inclusive policies started in 2014, Dilma was ousted through a thinly disguised coup in 2016, ex-president Lula was jailed for the time of the 2018 election, won by Jair Bolsonaro. Since the old oligarchies and corporate interests took over, the economy is stalled, unemployment has doubled, the Amazon is being cut down, child mortality is growing. The pandemic deepened an already general economic and social crisis. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of what went wrong, centering not on the pandemic itself, but on the deeper structural change that reversed the inclusive growth model of the popular governments. This involves the economy, but also technological, social and political change. The overall thesis is that inclusive development works, austerity does not.

The aim of the research is to explore the benefits of green innovations and technologies in the natural, economic and social environment. As for the methodology, the article presents an empirical study. The reports of the European Union and the World Bank are reviewed, as well as the relevant conclusions are made based on the results of a research conducted in China, the analysis of the reforms adopted in Malaysia and the experience of Georgia. Based on the reviewed reports and researches, we can conclude that green innovations and technologies have the following advantages:  Contributes significantly to the risks of destruction of the environment, natural resources, flora and fauna;  Allows businesses to use natural resources more efficiently, which decrease as time goes on;  Promotes the development of a new, renewable energy field, which will significantly replace non-renewable energy;  Green innovations and technologies help countries save non-renewable energy (for example, hybrid cars, help us save fuel);  Gives business companies a competitive advantage (for example, countries that have promoted the idea of wind turbines have acquired a significant competitive advantage);  Promotes the circular economy by increasing the life cycle of a product by reusing, renewing, repairing, or recycling it. Keywords: green, innovations, technologies, environment, protection.

A busca pela melhoria do desempenho ambiental tem se tornado prioridade em muitas organizações devido à necessidade de demonstrar preocupação para com o meio ambiente. Certificações ambientais, como o padrão ISO 14001, representam estratégias para as empresas aprimorarem sua gestão na área e também como atrativos para consumidores e demais interessados. O número de certificações ISO 14001 emitidas está em constante crescimento em todo o mundo, com mais força em alguns países e menor impulso em outros. Embora a análise do número absoluto de certificados ISO 14001 seja importante, ela não reflete o real interesse das organizações de cada país em obter a certificação. Diante do exposto, o objetivo desta pesquisa foi comparar o número de certificados ISO 14001 nos países do continente americano utilizando um Índice de Intensidade de Certificação, baseado em Casadesús, Marimon e Heras-Saizarbitoria (2008). Esse indicador permite comparar o número de certificações em países com economias de tamanhos diferentes, o que representa diferentes disponibilidades de empresas com viabilidade para certificar. Para isso, foi avaliada a relação entre o número de novas ISO 14001 e o PIB per capita em 13 países do continente americano, nos últimos quatro anos, baseados em dados obtidos junto à ISO (International Organization for Standardization) e o The World Bank. Os resultados mostraram que, enquanto o número de certificados nos Estados Unidos ainda está aquém da sua capacidade, empresas de países como a Colômbia têm demonstrado grande interesse em certificar. Diferentes fatores internos parecem estar motivando ou dificultando a decisão de implantar a ISO 14001 nos países do continente. Compreender esse comportamento é importante para partes as interessadas na ISO 14001, tais como gestores de empresas, comitês técnicos da ISO, governos e órgãos certificadores.
