“…According to Lardo et al (2020), to achieve success in the transition to sustainable business models aligned with Industry 4.0, major corporations require integrated thinking to underpin their management decisions and make approaches to co‐creators of capacity suppliers in association with open innovation processes. These capacity suppliers are specialist companies in planning, developing, launching, managing, and growing Internet of Things (IoT) solutions, point‐to‐point based on intelligent, interoperable, interconnected, and pre‐connected technologically entitled capacities.…”

The circular economy emerged as an alternative model to the linear system, which now appears to be reaching its physical limitations. To transition to a circular economy, companies must not only be aware of but also engage in more sustainable practices. For such a transition, companies must rethink and innovate their business models and the ways they propose value to their clients while simultaneously considering environmental and social facets. This systematic literature review sought to map out from the company perspective the key topics interrelated with innovation and the circular economy, describing the internal and external factors to consider in such transition processes. Key lines of research were identified, and suggestions for future research and for facilitating movement toward a circular economy are provided. This work contributes to deepening the literature by identifying the priority areas concerning the circular economy and encouraging future research that meets international standards of excellence.

“…On the other hand, the possibility of using existing technology such as smartphones with high-resolution cameras capable of processing information provides a valuable tool that has not been fully exploited and undoubtedly has a huge potential [125]. Similarly, the current transition to industry 4.0 (I4.0) seems to indicate that the use of IoT (Internet of Things) and Big Data technologies will allow machines to work in connection with one another, and processes can be automated in ways never before seen [126].…”

Enzymatic Methods for Salivary Biomarkers Detection: Overview and Current Challenges

Early detection is a key factor in patient fate. Currently, multiple biomolecules have been recognized as biomarkers. Nevertheless, their identification is only the starting line on the way to their implementation in disease diagnosis. Although blood is the biofluid par excellence for the quantification of biomarkers, its extraction is uncomfortable and painful for many patients. In this sense, there is a gap in which saliva emerges as a non-invasive and valuable source of information, as it contains many of the biomarkers found in blood. Recent technological advances have made it possible to detect and quantify biomarkers in saliva samples. However, there are opportunity areas in terms of cost and complexity, which could be solved using simpler methodologies such as those based on enzymes. Many reviews have focused on presenting the state-of-the-art in identifying biomarkers in saliva samples. However, just a few of them provide critical analysis of technical elements for biomarker quantification in enzymatic methods for large-scale clinical applications. Thus, this review proposes enzymatic assays as a cost-effective alternative to overcome the limitations of current methods for the quantification of biomarkers in saliva, highlighting the technical and operational considerations necessary for sampling, method development, optimization, and validation.

“…Using a structured literature review, they analyse "how these challenges impact on the sustainable development of digital technology for firms in the industry and provide avenues for future research" creating a reference framework in this field. Lardo et al (2020) in their study "the perspective of capability providers in creating a sustainable I4.0 environment" propose the analysis of the "capability providers to a sustainable I4.0 environment as an additional perspective regarding the management decisions of a smart and sustainable business model (SSBM) transformation of big corporations." Through a case study, the authors present a framework of perspective contribution to the sustainable I4.0 environment.…”
