A scientometric review of country image research: opportunities to Brazil's brand image
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=135722
The present study aimed to explore the country image publications from 1973 to 2022 (until March) and to highlight publications related to Brazil. The scientometric analysis was combined with the theory of associative networks approach to deepen the multidimensional concept of country image and, consequently, a better understanding of consumer behaviour. By mapping Scopus database, 742 results were found for searches of the term 'country image' or 'country branding' in the title, keywords and summary, considering only articles (published, reviews and early access) in English and considering the exciting areas of business, administration and accounting, social sciences, economics, econometrics and finance, psychology and multidisciplinary. The map visualisation can facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the research in country image. It can help identify the trends or the opportunities for future research related to Brazil's brand image.

Identification of environmental management practices in the Colombian industry
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=135733
Environmental management is a social responsibility strategy and is process-oriented towards environmental care and sustainability, as there is a growing concern for the impact of human activity and the need to develop responsible production systems. To evaluate and identify environmental management practices, their approach and their characteristics, this paper statistically analyses, using InfoStat and SPSS, the results of the 'industrial environmental survey' developed by the DANE of Colombia on 3,073 manufacturing companies in order to know the dynamic of certifications, tools, investment, and expenditure in corporate environmental management by regions and economic sectors. The results showed differentiation in economic activities at the regional level, the association of certifications and environmental management tools with regions and the economic sector, which provided practice evidence about the influence of institutional frameworks on environmental practices, and similar investment and expenditure profiles for impact prevention and mitigation between the Amazonian-Orinoco, Eastern, and Caribbean regions.

Research performance on one-of-a-kind production
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=135731
The aim of this paper is to investigate the one-of-a-kind production (OKP) and its relevance to theoretical development in the field of industrial management and data systems, given the lack of bibliometric studies in this area. To this end, a bibliometric study was conducted using the Scopus database, which includes articles published from 1990 to 2019. A systematic approach was used to search, access, and classify 167 articles relevant to the study. Research data were then analysed using a variety of bibliometric techniques, including descriptive statistics, bibliometric indicators, network analysis, topic maps, and strategic diagrams. This study provides a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of research output on OKP, focusing on the most prolific and influential authors, institutes, countries, and journals. By examining bibliometric indicators, clusters, and the evolution of key themes, the study provides unique insights into the OKP field. The use of multiple data analysis techniques contributes to the depth and robustness of the study (R2).

Economic analysis of a municipal selective collection system: a Brazilian case study
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=135732
This paper aims to perform an economic analysis of the life cycle of the selective collection program for household solid waste in João Pessoa/Paraíba - Brazil, from 2015 to 2018. In the methodology section, we verified direct and indirect benefits and costs deriving from the program. Then, we used the benefit/cost analysis (BCA) tool. The results determined that the program, even with the small amount collected, has favourable results, with the benefits being higher than the costs. Most expenses related to transport and labour corresponds to 93.17% of the analysed costs. For the benefits, the sale of recyclables is responsible for most of these (87%). The benefit/cost ratio during the study period is 2.05, that is, the benefits are 105% higher than the costs, allowing us to affirm that, during the study period, the program was considered viable and has saved for the public coffers US$ 117,754.93 in conventional household sorting through the practice of selective collection. However, policies that seek to reduce their costs and increase the collection of recyclables to be served by the program become essential for the improvement in the remuneration and quality of life of the associates and monetary gains for João Pessoa, thus implying gains for the environment, infrastructure, economy and population of the city.

Economic complexity and basic sanitation: an econometric investigation regarding water and sewage services in Brazilian municipalities
http://www.inderscience.com/link.php?id=135736
Economic complexity investigates the influence of production sophistication on economic growth, human development, and sustainability. However, scarce attention has been done to the influence of complexity on the quality and treatment of sanitary issues, especially in developing regions. For this reason, this article aims to analyse the influence of the Economic Complexity Index on the water and sewage services in Brazilian municipalities. This article used an econometric model with panel data, focusing on four aspects related to water and sewage: water coverage, water quality, sewage coverage, and sewage treatment. The results indicate that regions with a more sophisticated productive structure present better water and sewage coverage levels. However, a sophisticated productive structure did not corroborate to a better water quality nor sewage treatment. This study corroborates with policymakers revealing that the productive structure provides water and sewage access, but it is not adequate in providing water quality and sewage treatment.
