In this way, this paper aims to identify the most effective leadership model for managing, engaging, and retaining Genera...
As the digital paradigm stimulates changes in various areas, seaports, which are fundamental to logistics and the global supply chain, are also undergoing a digital revolution, evolving into smart ports. Smart gates are essential components in this transformation, playing a vital role in increasing port efficiency. In the context of smart gates, the aim of this study is to understand how process management can ...
Approximately 80% of global trade is transported by sea, so ports must adjust to sustain competitiveness in the market. For this, ports are making a transition from traditional ports to digital ports, incorporating technology, giving rise to the concept of “Smart Port”. Considering the relevance and novelty of this topic, that researchers are trying to investigate, the main objective of this work is to contribu...
Rural fires have been a constant concern, with most being associated with land abandon- ment. However, some fires occur due to negligent attitudes towards fire, which is often used to remove agroforestry leftovers. In addition to the fire risk, this burning also represents a waste of the energy present in this residual biomass. Both rural fires and energy waste affect the three dimensions of sustainability. The...
