“…This removes irrelevant variation in the indicator and minimizes the influence of outlier cases in the analysis. fsQCA has been used to identify complex relationships in renewable energy [14], online shopping and marketing [15], organizational performance [16], and, recently, WASH, where it was used to study combinations of community, program, and external conditions associated with the long-term sustainability of rural water supply programs [17]. The present study is a unique, but fitting, application of fsQCA to explore combinations of factors associated with the introduction of fecal contamination to environmental water samples.…”

In sub-Saharan Africa, many families travel to collect water and store it in their homes for daily use, presenting an opportunity for the introduction of fecal contamination. One stored and one source water sample were each collected from 45 households in rural Kenya. All 90 samples were analyzed for fecal indicator bacteria (E. coli and enterococci) and species-specific contamination using molecular microbial source tracking assays. Human (HF183), avian (GFD), and ruminant (BacR) contamination were detected in 52, two, and four samples, respectively. Stored water samples had elevated enterococci concentrations (p < 0.01, Wilcoxon matched pairs test) and more frequent BacR detection (89% versus 27%, p < 0.01, McNemar's exact test) relative to source water samples. fsQCA (fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis) was conducted on the subset of households with no source water BacR contamination to highlight combinations of factors associated with the introduction of BacR contamination to stored water supplies. Three combinations were identified: (i) ruminants in the compound, safe water extraction methods, and long storage time, (ii) ruminants, unsafe water extraction methods, and no soap at the household handwashing station, and (iii) long storage time and no soap. This suggests that multiple pathways contribute to the transmission of ruminant fecal contamination in this context, which would have been missed if data were analyzed using standard regression techniques.

“…Each system-forming area has a key indicator, which is characterized by both the current state (static) and the indicator of its change (dynamic). For energy, the main sign from the green growth point of view is to determine energy intensity Golubetskaya [30], Porfiriev [31], Andreas, Burns, Touza [32], Kang, Li, Qu [33], and in this interpretation it should be considered with renewable and non-renewable sources. Similarly, in "transport" subsystem, detailing the indicators and focusing on the electric and other more ecological drive are not necessary, as the most important indicator is not actually the transition to a new drive, but the emissions and waste from technical operation.…”

This article aims to assess and forecast the dynamics of a regional green economy. The research relevance is determined by the need to develop theoretical and methodological basis of the green economy for the transition period and to identify criteria basis for assessing the state and regional level of it. The authors applied the modern methods, which allowed to model criteria considering data uncertainty and both static and dynamic criteria. The research process involved the methods of scientific analysis, comparison and synthesis, the theory of fuzzy sets, and fuzzy modeling. The main principles and methodology of the criteria evaluation for a regional green economy are proposed. The principal methodological approach in this research combines the current state and dynamics of the green economy in evaluating and forecasting the conditions of data uncertainty. The research results form a theoretical, methodological, and practical basis for assessing the current state and level of a regional green economy development, determining the effectiveness of environmental and economic programs, optimizing financial management, conducting environmental monitoring, and developing state plans.

“…Furthermore, another highlighted line of investigation focuses more on the environmental aspect: from a legal and educational approach of the issue [27], the application of the concept of eco-efficiency to assess the suitability of renewable energies [28][29][30] to multi-target models or a qualitative comparative analysis to study the relationship between economic growth and the environment [31][32][33].…”

This paper has reviewed the international research on the interactions between the Economy, Energy, and Environment (3E) in the 21st century. For this purpose, a bibliometric and cluster analysis by fractional accounting has been carried out based on the two most important databases: Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus. The research found and studied 2230 documents from the WoS Core Collection and 3,149 from Scopus. The results show a continuous increase in the number of articles that were published and citations during the whole period. They also showed that China and the United States (U.S.) were the most productive countries and there was a predominance of Asian organizations supporting and fostering researches. The main contribution of this article is the analysis of keywords from 2001 to 2018. The trends show that the main common elements are sustainable development and sustainability and they also include CO2 emissions and consumption. Future research in this field should address the energy transition issue in the area of sustainable development by adapting it to the restrictions of this economic model.
