The spread of Coronavirus is causing in the society all around the world a considerable degree of fear, worry and concern and particularly among healthcare workers that are at increased risk for infection. This paper gathers the strategy/guidelines to reduce the contamination in Intensive care unit (ICU) and in all the hospital environment. The ASHRAE and REHVA guidelines applied the UV-C Lamps, Pressure control filtration, Restroom actions and Humidity control to reduce the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) in ICU. The role of infection control in the design of hospitals is increasing every day. This paper highlights the role of heating, ventilating and air-conditioning minimizing the risk of infection from airborne transmission within the built environment through the application of best practices.

Industry 5.0 presents itself as a strategy that puts the human factor at the centre of production, where the well-being of the worker is prioritized, as well as more sustainable and resilient production systems. For human centricity, it is necessary to empower human beings and, respectively, industrial operators, to improve their individual skills and competences in collaboration or cooperation with digital technologies. This research’s main purpose and distinguishing point are to determine whether Industry 5.0 is truly human-oriented and how human centricity can be created with Industry 5.0 technologies. For that, this systematic literature review article analyses and clarifies the concepts and ideologies of Industry 5.0 and its respective technologies (Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Human-robot collaboration, Digitalization), as well as the strategies of human centricity, with the aim of achieving sustainable and resilient systems, especially for the worker.

The peach is a stone fruit with a very juicy flesh, smooth skin, and a taste that satisfies the most demanding palate. The quality of this fruit is usually determined by texture, appearance, scent, flavor, and nutritional value. Peaches are very sensitive fruits, which deteriorate and ripen very quickly at environment temperature. Cold conservation is the usual method for delaying the product deterioration, but this process may cause chilling injury (CI). This damage is a physiological low temperaturedriven disturbance, which affects the fruit quality, reducing its storage and shelf life and impairing its organoleptic characteristics. The characteristics of the main techniques and treatments to mitigate the CI such as: temperature-dependent, controlled and/or modified atmosphere, intermittent warming (IW), ethylene inhibitors, Glycine Betaine (GB), Methyl Jasmonate (MeJA) treatments, exposure to ultraviolet radiation (UV) and genetic determination are reviewed. Its consequences are evaluated and the ideal conservation air temperature and humidity are set to enhance organoleptic characteristics. Practical applicationsThis paper provides a review of research studies assessing the CI in peaches. The consequences of this damage are evaluated and the ideal values of conservation air temperature and humidity to enhance the organoleptic characteristics are described.It aims to help producers and retailers to know in advance the quality of peaches stored in refrigeration chambers and decide the price based on this prediction.

This article considers the ideal storage conditions for multiple vaccine brands, such as Pfizer, Moderna, CoronaVac, Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and Sputnik V. Refrigerant fluid options for each storage condition, thermal load to cool each type of vaccine and environmental impacts of refrigerants are compared. An energy simulation using the EUED (energy usage effectiveness design) index was developed. The Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and CoronaVac vaccines show 9.34-times higher energy efficiency than Pfizer. In addition, a TEWI (total equivalent warming impact) simulation was developed that prioritizes direct environmental impacts and indirect in refrigeration. From this analysis, it is concluded that the cold storage of Oxford–AstraZeneca, Janssen COVID-19 and CoronaVac vaccines in Brazil generates 35-times less environmental impact than the Pfizer vaccine.
