    Abstract: Business progress and human development are linked to the efficient management of energy resources. The research in this paper contributes to the generalized application of good practices that reduce the vulnerability of companies. The research focuses on energy efficiency through comprehensive management systems (CMS), and “thought based on risks and opportunities”, considering the discussion about the revision of ISO 50001:2018, the basic approach of the model and the route to implement CMS for quality, safety and health in the workplace, environmental management, energy efficiency, and other risk components. This implementation route, with the acronym CMS QHSE3+, places special emphasis on the functions of strategic planning, operational and risk management, and controls, as well as on deliverables and references to examples, templates, standards, and documents, to facilitate its application general in small and medium enterprises and in the management of energy efficiency.

    Abstract: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) impairs post-stroke recovery, and the underlying mechanisms are unknown. Insulin resistance (IR), a T2D hallmark that is also closely linked to aging, has been associated with impaired post-stroke recovery. However, whether IR worsens stroke recovery is unknown. We addressed this question in mouse models where early IR, with or without hyperglycemia, was induced by chronic high-fat diet feeding or sucrose supplementation in the drinking water, respectively. Furthermore, we used 10-month-old mice, spontaneously developing IR but not hyperglycemia, where IR was normalized pharmacologically pre-stroke with Rosiglitazone. Stroke was induced by transient middle cerebral artery occlusion and recovery was assessed by sensorimotor tests. Neuronal survival, neuroinflammation and the density of striatal cholinergic interneurons were also assessed by immunohistochemistry/quantitative microscopy. Pre-stroke induction and normalization of IR, respectively, worsened and improved post-stroke neurological recovery. Moreover, our data indicate a potential association of this impaired recovery with exacerbated neuroinflammation and a decreased density of striatal cholinergic interneurons. The global diabetes epidemic and population aging are dramatically increasing the percentage of people in need of post-stroke treatment/care. Our results suggest that future clinical studies should target pre-stroke IR to reduce stroke sequelae in both diabetics and elderly people with prediabetes.

    Abstract: The future of business development relies on the effective management of risks, opportunities, and energy and water resources. Here, we evaluate the application of best practices to identify, analyze, address, monitor, and control risks and opportunities (R/O) according to ISO 31000 and 50000. Furthermore, we shed light on tools, templates, ISO guides, and international documents that contribute to classifying, identifying, formulating control, and managing R/O parameterization in a comprehensive management system model, namely CMS QHSE3+, which consists of quality (Q), health and safety (HS), environmental management (E), energy efficiency (E2), and other risk components (+) that include comprehensive biosecurity and biosafety. By focusing on the deployment of R/O-based thinking (ROBT) at strategic and operational levels, we show vulnerability reduction in CMS QHSE3+ by managing energy, efficiency, and sustainability.
