About the quality and sustainable education in European countries: a comparativ...
Murillo, Kelly; Rocha, EugénioThis work examines the quality of education in European countries, analyzing its evolution towards the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in three different stages of efficiency: levels, patterns and determinants. The SDGs are a call to action for all countries to promote prosperity, while protecting the planet with determinant aspects in an equitable society, such as ensure inclusive and ...
Economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on production industry: a nonparametri...
Murillo, KellyThe outbreak of COVID-19 and containment measures introduced by the EU Member States had a significant impact on the EU’s industrial production. Being the industry sector plays an essential role in the economy of any country, it is important to study in details the factors that influencing positive/negative in the behavior.

Sustainable development in education: a non-parametric analysis
Murillo, Kelly; Rocha, EugénioThe SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and improve the lives and prospects of everyone, everywhere. In 2015 all UN Member States, adopted the 2030 Agenda for the SDG, which comprises an action plan for people, the planet and prosperity with 17 objectives covering the economic, social and environmental dimensions, [1].

Circular economy in plastic waste: efficiency analysis of European countries
Robaina, Margarita; Murillo, Kelly; Rocha, Eugénio; Villar, JoséThe way plastics are currently produced, used and disposed does not capture the economic benefits of a more 'circular' approach and is dramatically harming the environment.

Four solutions of an elliptic problem with double singularity
Chen, Jianqing; Murillo, Kelly; Rocha, Eugénio M.We consider the existence of nontrivial solutions u ∈ H 1 0 (Ω) of a Dirichlet problem with equation where 0 ∈ Ω ⊂ R N is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, f : Ω → R is a real continuous and positive function, 0 ≤ s < 2, 0 ≤ µ <μ − 4 (necessarily N > 6), and N + √μ −µ √μ + √μ −µ < q < 2, withμ = (N − 2) 2 /4. Note that 4−2s N −2 is the critical Sobolev-Hardy exponent minus 2. By variational methods we show...
