In 1948, with the creation of the World Health Organization (WHO), the Right to Health gained a little more global prominence, since the very purpose of the international entity is to guarantee the highest level of health for all human beings, advocating that the state of physical and mental well-being does not only consist in the absence of diseases or illnesses, but mainly when a set of values and principles are established and available to all individuals, anywhere on the planet (WHO | The Right to Health, 2012).

This research intends to understand how an integrated border management can contribute to combat illegal immigration in Mozambique, and the evils that come from this irregular entry, as well as the related crimes associated with it. Taking into account the sad events perpetrated by the terrorists in Cabo - Delgado, which has a participation of foreign citizens, it is assumed that some of these citizens have entered illegally or enticed the border authorities to enter Mozambique through illegal means, therefore, it is interesting to understand how the management and control of borders is carried out. It is important to understand how the Mozambican authorities have managed the phenomenon of illegal immigration, even recognizing that some of the borders are porous. The permanent articulation with the various forces involved in border control, in ways that each one of them appropriates illegal immigration, may be the horizon to follow, so that there is no violation of borders, preserving national sovereignty, as efficiency and the effectiveness of the different sectors involved in the border process, can be achieved as long as the different entities that control the border carry out their activities in a coordinated manner, allowing for an ever-increasing flow of commercial transactions. The research is bibliographical, qualitative, using the technique of direct observation, and data provided by the General Directorate of Migration of Mozambique.

In times of pandemic, rapid sharing of research data is urgently needed, as is the intensification of networking. The COVID-19 pandemic brought a new perspective in relation to knowledge management in various organizational means, whether through the search for innovation or the improvement of its processes. Thus, to calculate the state of the art and track scientific and technological knowledge in the COVID-19 spectrum, the keyword “Coronavir*” was used in the PubMed and Espacenet databases. Data were processed by Carrot Search Lingo4G® and PatentInspiration®. In the Pubmed database, 1,000 documents were retrieved, which were organized into 81 groups of sub-themes, with emphasis on the sub-theme “treatment during coronavirus disease”, with 188 articles (18.8% of the total). Regarding technological innovation, China and the United States were the countries that filed the most patent applications, especially in 2020 and 2021, corresponding to 68.5% of the total. The first 4 (four) applicants with the highest number of patents were Pfizer, Gilead Sciences Inc., Center Nat Rech, Crucell Holland. The results obtained over a period of time demonstrate a partnership between universities and companies towards the fight against the pandemic. The tools for identifying, extracting and processing data (or free), are needed efficiently in the management of scientific and technological knowledge in COVID -19, thus being able to contribute to more assertive decision-making at various organizational levels.

Automation, robotics, Internet of Things and Big Data are currently a big challenge for businesses. However, they can also be a great opportunity. One of the corporate areas where new technologies can be used is controlling. In this research, the issue is narrowed down to the impact of new technologies on Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems of companies, which are a basic tool of controlling in companies. The research analyses the possibilities of integrating elements of Industry 4.0 with ERP systems and the possibility of using data for corporate controlling. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out and gained results were further analysed according to the defined criteria. The outcome of the literature review is an essential current state analysis of the impact of new technologies on corporate ERP systems with regard to the company's controlling processes. This paper serves as a very first step in designing a systematic research study in area of controlling 4.0.
