A theorem, due to Hasegawa and Abe, asserts that any Euclidean compact convex connected hypersurface whose scalar curvature is bounded from above by a certain function is a geodesic sphere. Two different proofs are given: one using the Weitzenböck-Bochner formula the other using the Minkowski integral formulae. Actually, this last method provides a natural extension to the above theorem.
