“…We gathered a non-probabilistic sample using the snowball method, considering that the Brazilian universe is very large, impossible to reach through a probabilistic sample, and that not everyone in the universe has the same chance of receiving the questionnaire. The snowball method is considered representative and fit for extrapolation, being a method used frequently, legitimately, and effectively [20,21]. The name snowball refers to how a respondent can send the questionnaire to one or more people, making the sampling behave like a snowball, representing an accumulative character when choosing the respondents.…”

BACKGROUND: During the COVID-19 pandemic, the online sales industry experienced record-breaking growth. The number of businesses that decided to enter the e-commerce market for the first time was enormous. At the height of the quarantine, Brazil was registering a new virtual store every minute. This was an unanticipated and unplanned expansion. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to identify existing challenges in human interactions with e-commerce, such as the difficulties faced during the pandemic and improvements to ensure growth of, and confidence in, this type of business. METHODS: An exploratory study of e-commerce data and an online survey using the snowball non-probabilistic method were developed to research the growth of, and issues in, Brazilian users’ interaction with e-commerce, comparing findings before and after the pandemic restrictions. RESULTS: Some businesses were not prepared, and the lack of experience among workers contributed to businesses not delivering on their promises. The acceleration of e-commerce demonstrates the need to guarantee that Brazil can effectively use e-commerce to capitalize on digital supply chain opportunities and enhance their role in its economic expansion, while remaining human-centered. CONCLUSIONS: For users’ needs to be met, companies and online workers must understand people’s needs and behaviors in order to provide excellent service.

“…There are three publications related to activities of households in which the REBA method has been applied: Lim et al [95], Lofqvist et al [96] and Rui et al [97], corresponding to vacuum cleaning work, basic household chores and tasks associated with drying clothes, respectively (Table 9). In the field of education, only Hashim et al [98] combined REBA and RULA to assess the different positions students take while they do their schoolwork, demonstrating that the majority need immediate intervention to prevent greater prejudicial effects (Table 10).…”

The objective of this work is to review literature, worldwide, in which the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) ergonomic assessment method was applied and count the number of times that REBA was applied together with other methods and subsequent incidence. The database used was the “Web of Science—Core Collection”. Only scientific articles and bibliographic reviews were included, analysing a total of 314 documents and selecting only 91. The use of the REBA method is indicated in terms of knowledge, country, year and journal sectors. It was most used in the knowledge areas of “Manufacturing” (24.18%), “Agriculture, forestry and fishing” (21.98%) and in “Other activities” (19.78%). One of the benefits of REBA is that it evaluates different body parts: upper limbs (arm, forearm and wrist), lower extremities, trunk and neck. It is a useful method to identify the forced postures adopted by workers to thus develop improvement measures if necessary. It is concluded that REBA method use has increased over the last decade, probably due to the digitization of knowledge. It is almost always applied in combination with other methods, and its use can be a positive indicator of company sustainability.
