Abstract: Sustainable Product-Service System Design (S-PSS) provides solutions to complex problems, such as the hardships caused by climate change to vulnerable populations. This research is the result of a study that identified methodologies, through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), for the development of S-PSS projects, whose scope is scenarios affected by floods and landslides. What was found, together with the articles found in the previous research, were the critical barriers, such as cultural, institutional, political, economic barriers, etc. that, if not considered in the initial stages of an S-PSS project, may compromise the results expected by the actors involved. Among the barriers found.....

Abstract: This study employed the Auto-Regressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) approach and the error correction (ECM)-ARDL model to investigate the impact of foreign direct investment inflow on manufacturing capacity utilization (MCU) in Nigeria during the period 1980 – 2020. The co-integration test showed that the variables were co-integrated and the model analysis revealed the existence of long-run relations between the dependent variable MCU and the explanatory variable FDI. The empirical results further revealed that past foreign direct investment flows positively and significantly influenced manufacturing capacity......
