- Green Human Resource Management and ISO 14001: Toward Environmental Sustainability in OrganizationsPublication . Ortega, Eduardo; Coelho, Arnaldo; Ribeiro, NeuzaThe current climate change scenario imposes urgent challenges to different economic sectors around the world, requiring companies to adopt new strategies to achieve sustainable development goals (SDGs) while enhancing environmental awareness. In this sense, green human resource management (GHRM) and International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14001 can lead to a reduction in the environmental impact caused by business activities. The growing need for decision-makers to ensure a company's competitive position in the market invites managers to integrate people management as an active component of corporate sustainability efforts. By demonstrating a commitment to sustainability, companies can contribute to economic growth, individual well-being, and environmental preservation. The purpose of this study is to analyze current knowledge on GHRM and ISO 14001 and their intersection, providing directions for future research. The literature review was conducted using the PRISMA methodology and bibliometric analysis (performance analysis and scientific mapping) with data from Web of Science and Scopus. The final dataset comprised 520 articles on GHRM and 12 about GHRM and ISO 14001. The results show the growth of the topics in the academic community, especially in countries located in East, South, and Southeast Asia and in Brazil. The most studied economic sectors are tourism, hospitality, and manufacturing. Future research trends indicate a greater inclusion of people in the corporate ecological objectives of different economic activities. The integration of GHRM and ISO 14001 seems to help mitigate climate change and promote sustainable development. The conclusions highlight the importance of implementing GHRM, especially in ISO 14001 organizations, to obtain the active participation of employees in environmental preservation. These ecological practices seem to strengthen the company's image, making it more attractive and helping them to retain talent. This study provides insights for academics, professionals, and policymakers and is a pioneering study in investigating two themes simultaneously.
- The Combined Effect of the Mediterranean Diet and Physical Activity on the Components of Metabolic Syndrome in Adults: A Systematic Review of Randomised Controlled TrialsPublication . Teixeira, Luíza; Monteiro, Diogo; Matos, Rui; Susano Jacinto, Miguel Ângelo; Antunes, RaulMetabolic syndrome (MetS) is a global public health challenge, characterized by the coexistence of cardiometabolic risk factors such as abdominal obesity, dyslipidaemia, hypertension, and insulin resistance. Non-pharmacological strategies, including the Mediterranean diet (MD) and physical activity (PA), have been widely studied for their potential to prevent and manage MetS. This systematic review aimed to synthesize the evidence on the combined effect of MD and PA on MetS components in adults, based on randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Twenty-two RCTs published between 2018 and 2024 were included, involving 11,478 participants. The interventions ranged from 8 weeks to 3 years and combined adapted or hypocaloric MDs with moderate-to-high-intensity PA, typically including walking, aerobic exercise, or high-intensity interval training (HIIT), performed 3 to 7 times per week. The combined interventions resulted in reductions in body weight (−2.5 to −7.2 kg), body mass index (−0.7 to −2.2 kg/m2), waist circumference (−5.1 to −7.8 cm), and blood pressure (up to −9.0 mmHg systolic and −6.7 mmHg diastolic). Improvements in HDL cholesterol, triglyceride levels, and insulin sensitivity were also observed. These findings suggest that integrated interventions based on the Mediterranean lifestyle are effective in reducing MetS components and may support future public health strategies.
