Mineral Inversion Approach to Improve Ahdeb Oil Field's Mineral Classification
Authors: Alameedy Usama , Farman Ghanim , Al-Tamemi Haider
Published: September 2023

Knowledge of the mineralogical composition of a petroleum reservoir's formation is crucial for the petrophysical evaluation of the reservoir. The Mishrif formation, which is prevalent in the Middle East, is renowned for its mineralogical complexity. Multi-mineral inversion, which combines multiple logs and inversions for multiple minerals at once, can make it easier to figure out what minerals are in the Mishrif Formation. This method could help identify minerals better and give more information about the minerals that make up the formation. In this study, an error model is used to find a link between the measurements of the tools and the petrophysical parameters. An error minimization procedure is subsequently applied to determine the optimal solution. The quality curve is useful for assessing the model's reliability and data depth. Gamma rays and traditional logs both show that calcite and dolomite are the most common matrix minerals in the Mishrif Formation. The clay minerals present in the formation are smectite, illite, and glauconite. Accurate detection of mineral composition resulted in improved identification of fluid content, particularly free and bound water saturation, and, by extension, hydrocarbon saturation.

Authors:   Kien Giang University, Vietnam, Phuong Do Thi Kim , Thi Dinh Nguyen ,   Ly Tu Trong College of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Published: September 2023

Ho Chi Minh was a distinguished political figure, a prominent leader of the Vietnamese revolution, and also a revered educator and significant cultural figure on a global scale. He laid the foundation and guided the establishment of a new educational system in Vietnam. His educational philosophy holds profound theoretical and practical significance for the revolutionary cause in Vietnam. Ho Chi Minh's educational ideology extends beyond mere intellectual and academic pursuits for individuals; it encompasses a comprehensive and profound outlook that is vivid and pragmatic. It aims to cultivate well-rounded individuals who are both "red" (revolutionary) and "expert" (competent), possessing knowledge, ideals, ethics, and health. Therefore, in shaping fundamental reforms in the current educational landscape of the nation, the application of these innovative and rational ideas is regarded as a requirement and a vital solution.

Control over land in Indonesia is positively regulated for Indonesian citizens and for foreign citizens, but only specifically in the form of usufructuary rights and lease rights, but there are still many foreigners who want to have ownership rights to land which is certainly contrary to positive law in Indonesia secretly, namely by using a nominee agreement or name borrowing agreement. So, this study aims to analyze how the validity of nominee agreements in Indonesia compares with other countries (Singapore, Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia, England) and how to resolve cases of nominee agreements involving notaries with parties involved in Indonesia. The research method used in this research is a normative legal research method. The results of this discussion analysis are first, nominee agreements are completely unknown in the Indonesian legal system, especially in Indonesian contract law, so that it can be said to contain empty meanings/empty norms, because nominee agreements can be categorized as law smuggling. Second, the legal consequences for a Notary involved in making a nominee agreement to smuggle the law, the Notary is required to be held accountable for his actions before the law, namely by being legally annulled and punished to pay for losses made without revocation of the position of Notary. So that the government needs to make a regulation that regulates nominee agreements, especially related to land rights and the Indonesian government follows the steps of the Thai and Philippine governments which specifically prohibit all forms of nominee borrowing practices by adding provisions in the Basic Agrarian Law. There is also a need for more commensurate sanctions for Notaries involved in law smuggling.

Self-Organized Learning Environments (SLE) is one of several models recommended by the Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC) as an innovative learning model to stimulate students’ critical thinking in learning History. This study aims to verify the effectiveness of the SLE model on students’ critical thinking in learning History. The study used a quantitative experimental method with one group pre-post test design using multiple-choice tests. The research participants were second-grade students of Social Science major at Public Senior High School 2 of Tanggul in the 2022/2023 academic year. The effectiveness was hypothesized in reference to the relative effectiveness test formula which sought to identify the difference between the participants’ pre-and post-test scores divided by the standard deviation. The analysis result marked a relative effectiveness test of 2.85, which implied a relatively high effectiveness of the instructional model. The research implications highlight the value of SLE as a reference to improve History teachers’ pedagogical competence as the precursor to achieving interactive, fun, and flexible learning experiences empowered by technology.

The objective of this study is to investigate the comprehension of the concept of investing in the Sharia-compliant Peer to Peer lending investment instrument PT Dana Syariah Indonesia, and to develop a model of investor behavior based on this understanding. The focus of this study is to develop a framework for the application of the investor behavior model in the context of investment decision-making. This study employs a phenomenological research approach, utilizing both primary and secondary data sources. The primary data sources include interviews, observations, and documentation, while the secondary data sources are also utilized. The sources of this study consist of lenders affiliated with PT Dana Syariah Indonesia residing in the West Java Province. The research results are analyzed using various theoretical frameworks, including the Theory of Planned Behavior, Investment Theory, Behavioral Finance Theory, and decision-making behavior. The findings of this study suggest that the concept of investment for lenders entails a dual objective, encompassing both financial gain in the form of returns and tangible outcomes. Furthermore, the investment decisions of lenders are influenced by thirtee n reasons provided by five informants, encompassing past, present, and future orientations. The third implementation of investment refers to the execution or enactment undertaken by the lender regarding the internalization of adopted values, trust in intuition, and confidence in future outcomes. One of the fundamental factors in making investment decisions is the adoption of values, particularly the trust placed in intuition. The act of making a choice or reaching a conclusion. The economic perspective of Shariacompliant Peer to Peer lending products pertains to the principles outlined in muamalah fiqh. The regulations governing the principles of Muamalah Fiqh are further reinforced by the legal framework, specifically the OJK Regulation and MUI Fatwa.
Osteoporosis
Authors: Sedlinsky Claudia
Published: September 2023

En los últimos 30 años se ha demostrado, a través de un creciente cuerpo de evidencia experimental y clínica, que la diabetes mellitus (DM) ejerce efectos deletéreos sobre el tejido óseo, siendo un blanco más de las complicaciones de la DM. Diferentes grupos detectaron un aumento del riesgo de fracturas tanto en pacientes con DM1 asociado a una baja masa ósea, como en DM2 en quienes se puede encontrar una masa ósea normal o aumentada, asociada a una disminución de la fortaleza ósea. Diferentes factores de riesgo asociados a la DM se vinculan a una mayor tasa de fracturas. Se mostró que un peor control metabólico, la necesidad de uso de insulina o un mayor tiempo de evolución de la DM aumentan el riesgo de fracturas.

Está descripta la reducción del recambio óseo por disminución de la actividad de los osteoblastos y osteoclastos que permite la acumulación de daño en el tejido óseo y reduce la calidad ósea. Los productos de glicación avanzada (advanced glycation end-products, AGE) que se acumulan por efecto de la hiperglucemia en proteínas de larga sobrevida como el colágeno óseo, alteran las propiedades biomecánicas del hueso, afectando la calidad del material e incrementando el riesgo de fractura. Los AGE también ejercen efectos deletéreos sobre osteoblastos y osteoclastos a través de la interacción con su receptor RAGE, presente en dichas células, que podrían ser en parte responsables del bajo recambio óseo en esta condición. Esto permitiría caracterizar a la osteopatía diabética como una enfermedad ósea de bajo recambio o adinámica, que se asociaría a una acumulación de daño en la matriz ósea mineralizada y justificaría el aumento del riesgo de fractura, aún en un contexto de masa ósea evaluada por densitometría ósea normal o incluso incrementada.

Dadas las características fisiopatológicas distintivas de la osteopatía diabética, se evaluaron los efectos de diferentes agentes terapéuticos disponibles para el tratamiento de la osteoporosis en individuos diabéticos, de manera retrospectiva, en grandes estudios poblacionales o entre los individuos con diagnóstico conocido de DM que participaron de los estudios pivotales de dichos agentes comparados con individuos no diabéticos. Si bien estos estudios no fueron diseñados para discernir el efecto de estos fármacos en la condición diabética, los individuos con DM mostraron responder con aumento de la masa ósea, modificación de los marcadores de recambio y disminución del riesgo de fractura de modo similar a la población no diabética.

Published: September 2023

Los síndromes esclerodermiformes suelen imitar muy bien una esclerosis sistémica progresiva, y es la presencia de ampollas cutáneas en áreas fotoexpuestas con hiperpigmentación los datos diferenciales para diagnosticar una porfiria. Presentamos el caso de un varón de 48 años con fotosensibilidad, fragilidad capilar, ampollas cutáneas e hiperpigmentación asociado a esclerodactilia, con pérdida cicatrizal distal de tejido en los dedos de las manos, que simuló a la perfección una esclerosis sistémica progresiva. La analítica mostró negatividad para anticuerpos antinucleares, antitopoisomerasa y anticentrómero, con valores altos de uroporfirinas en orina. El tratamiento con flebotomías e hidroxicloquina mejoró la fotosensibilidad y la fragilidad cutánea.

Este artículo analiza los factores sociodemográficos, institucionales y académicos que afectan la Tasa de Titulación Oportuna (TTO) y Total (TTT) de estudiantes de Pedagogía en Educación Física en Chile (PEF). Se realizó un análisis estadístico descriptivo e inferencial utilizando datos de estudiantes ingresados a la carrera de PEF entre 2011 y 2019. Los resultados indican que el tipo de colegio de origen, la institución de educación superior, el género, la acreditación institucional y las calificaciones obtenidas son los factores más influyentes en las tasas de titulación. Se observó que los estudiantes de colegios concertados tienen mayores probabilidades de obtener la titulación en comparación con los de colegios municipales. Además, las mujeres presentan tasas de titulación más altas que los hombres. La acreditación institucional y un buen desempeño académico también influyen positivamente en las tasas de titulación. Estos hallazgos resaltan la importancia de considerar estos factores al abordar las tasas de titulación en la Pedagogía en Educación Física en Chile.

Abstract. This article examines the sociodemographic, institutional, and academic factors that affect the Timely Graduation Rate (TTO) and Total Graduation Rate (TTT) of Physical Education Pedagogy students in Chile (PEF). Descriptive and inferential statistical analysis was conducted using data from students enrolled in the PEF program between 2011 and 2019. The results indicate that the type of school attended, the higher education institution, gender, institutional accreditation, and academic performance are the most influential factors in graduation rates. Students from subsidized private schools are more likely to obtain their degree compared to those from public schools. Additionally, women have higher graduation rates than men. Institutional accreditation and strong academic performance also positively influence graduation rates. These findings underscore the importance of considering these factors when addressing graduation rates in Physical Education Pedagogy in Chile.

After the COVID-19 period, academic achievement among elite student-athletes has not shown any improvement and it is not yet known exactly the main factors that contributed to academic achievement. In addition, limited evidence in previous research that analyzed the relationship between technological and psychological readiness with academic achievement among elite student athletes at the college level became a gap in this study. Therefore, this study investigated the relationship between technological and psychological readiness variables and academic achievement. Correlational research was adopted in this study which involved eighty-five elite first-year student-athletes from the Universitas Negeri Surabaya (Indonesia). Technological and psychological readiness was measured using a questionnaire while academic achievement was measured by filling out questions about soccer, basketball and volleyball. Spearman's rank was used to investigate the relationship of each variable. We observed several findings in this study. First, there was a relationship between the variable technological readiness and academic achievement. Second, there was a psychological relationship between academic achievement. Third, there was relationship between technological and psychological readiness and academic achievement. Thus, we highlight that the level of academic achievement among elite student athletes in the first year was closely related to technological and psychological readiness.

Dalam rangka memperbaiki layanan ketenagakerjaan, Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan membentuk Anjungan SIAPkerja sebagai miniatur Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan. Anjungan SIAPkerja hadir untuk mendekatkan layanan ketenagakerjaan secara fisik dan geografis khususnya di Kawasan Industri, Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus, dan Kawasan strategis lainnya. Indonesia sendiri, saat ini sudah memiliki 2 kawasan khusus yang dibentuk dengan tujuan untuk mendorong pertumbuhan dan pemerataan ekonomi nasional. Kawasan tersebut adalah Kawasan Industri (KI) dan Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK). Hingga tahun 2022, Kementerian Perindustrian telah membentuk 122 KI yang tersebar di seluruh Indonesia. Sementara itu, Indonesia melalui Kementerian Koordinator Bidang Perekonomian telah membentuk Dewan Nasional Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus dan mengembangkan sebanyak 18 KEK yang juga tersebar di seluruh wilayah Indonesia. Indonesia juga memiliki Kawasan strategis seperti Ibu Kota Nusantara (IKN) yang juga menjadi prioritas dalam pendirian Anjungan SIAPkerja. Hingga saat ini permasalahan ketenagakerjaan yang dihadapi oleh Pemerintah Indonesia antara lain karena kesempatan kerja yang masih terbatas, daya saing tenaga kerja yang masih rendah, perselisihan Hubungan Industrial, masih tingginya angka kecelakaan kerja, serta belum tersedianya data ketenagakerjaan yang valid dan reliabel. Pengangguran muncul sebagai akibat dari tidak terselesaikannya persoalan-persoalan ketenagakerjaan. Oleh karena itu saat ini Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan menyiapkan langkah strategis, transformative, dan inovatif untuk menghadapi masalah dan tantangan pembangunan ketenagakerjaan melalui 9 lompatan besar. Salah satu upaya yang dilakukan yaitu membentuk layanan satu atap ketenagakerjaan yang terintegrasi dan dapat menjangkau seluruh stakeholder yang terlibat (Anjungan SIAPkerja).

Kementerian Ketenagakerjaan telah melakukan berbagai upaya pengelolaan ekosistem pelayanan ketenagakerjaan, tetapi masih belum memenuhi harapan masyarakat karena sulitnya jangkauan akses pelayanan dan belum terintegrasinya data angkatan kerja dan pemberi kerja. Anjungan SIAPkerja adalah model baru pelayanan ketenagakerjaan yang diharapkan dapat meningkatkan kualitas pelayanan dan mengintegrasikan platform digital SIAPkerja. Dalam upaya peningkatan kualitas pelayanan ketenagakerjaan ini, maka perlu dilakukan kajian mengenai Pilot Project Anjungan SIAPkerja. Anjungan SIAPkerja telah diimplementasikan di lima kawasan industri dan zona ekonomi di Indonesia, dan akan diterapkan secara bertahap di 104 kawasan industri dan zona strategis lainnya. Saat ini Anjungan SIAPkerja berfokus pada pelayanan ketenagakerjaan yang informatif, seperti informasi pasar kerja, pusat karir, dan penggunaan aplikasi SIAPkerja. Keberhasilan Anjungan SIAPkerja bergantung pada kompetensi petugas layanannya dan koordinasi antara pemerintah pusat dan daerah. Anjungan SIAPkerja mengalami tantangan seperti akses terbatas, adopsi aplikasi yang belum lengkap, dan kurangnya kompetensi petugas layanan. Model yang efektif memerlukan infrastruktur fisik, fasilitas, dan dukungan sosial. Rekomendasi meliputi kerja sama konkret antar lembaga, pelatihan, koordinasi, optimalisasi aplikasi, dan sosialisasi Anjungan SIAPkerja. Diperlukan studi untuk merumuskan kolaborasi antara pemangku kepentingan dalam mendukung pengembangan yang berkelanjutan dari proyek Anjungan SIAPkerja

Published: September 2023

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between green procurement and the performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Methodology: An explanatory research design was employed in the study. All 172 of Kenya's registered food and manufacturing businesses were considered using the census approach. Using questionnaires, primary data was gathered. This study employed 172 questionnaires. Version 25 of the SPSS statistical program was used to analyze the data. The primary data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques. Descriptive statistics gives the profile of the respondents, that is, the frequencies and their percentages; whereas inferential statistics adopts a hierarchical, moderated, multiple regression analysis model in order to determine the effect of the explanatory variable.

Findings: The study found that there is a correlation of 0.701 between green procurement and the success of Kenyan food and beverage manufacturing companies. Green procurement accounted for 48.7% of the variation in the performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya.

Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Strategic Choice theory was adopted and validated. By incorporating stakeholders, assessing policy choices, making educated judgments, aligning with capacities, adjusting to changes, minimizing risks, and encouraging cooperation for sustainable procurement practises, Strategic Choice Theory could assist Kenya in developing a complete green procurement policy. The study found that implementing green procurement would; conserve the environment, reduce unnecessary costs to a firm, improve customer satisfaction, improve firm reputation, increase product acceptance, and increase the sales volume.

Uma homenagem a Maria: pensando mutualidade do ser e fazer família nas relações de campo etnográfico
Authors: Omisilê Justino André
Published: September 2023

Em 2013, Marshall Sahlins publicou a obra curta, porém intensa, What kinship is – and is not, em que analisa o parentesco sob a ótica da mutualidade do ser. Para o autor, a mutualidade consiste em um compartilhamento intenso de existências. Comer, morar e viver junto, compartilhando a mesma terra não apenas seriam elementos que unem as pessoas em poderosos laços de proximidade, mas podem representar também modos pelos quais as pessoas ficam tão imbricadas, que o que acontece a uma, pode afetar diretamente a outra. Por intermédio da mutualidade do ser, as vidas implicam-se umas nas outras, tecendo uma rede de afetos intensa que acaba por formar a própria base do parentesco. Ser mutuamente é construir parentesco. A partir desta perspectiva, não consigo deixar de refletir também sobre minha experiência de campo tendo Maria como minha anfitriã e minha principal interlocutora adulta. O fazer etnográfico é, por definição, a construção de uma proximidade com o outro, nossos sujeitos de pesquisa em um alto grau de intensidade. Se pensarmos em Malinowski (1976), que estruturou o método que utilizamos e revisamos em nossa disciplina ao longo das décadas, a aventura começa com o deslocamento (material, geográfico, simbólico, metafísico, virtual) daquele que pesquisa e se propõe a integrar uma rede de relações que está posta antes de sua existência e na qual quem pesquisa precisa ser incorporada para construir seus dados etnográficos.
O Lovolo em Mudança no Distrito de Funhalouro. A Possível Resiliência de formas Tradicionais de Pagamento Matrimonial
Authors: Farré Albert , Armando Ilídio
Published: September 2023

Este capítulo retrata a instituição de lovolo e o entendimento que se tem dela na perspectiva dos tsua-dzivi de Funhalouro (Moçambique), um dos vários subgrupos tsongas no qual esta instituição funciona. Na sua génese a pesquisa da qual resultou este artigo não estava especificamente orientada para o estudo da instituição do lovolo, mas sim para o tema sobre a “Relação entre as Actividades Económicas e a Reprodução Social no Espaço Rural em Funhalouro”. Sendo o lovolo uma das instituições relevantes na reprodução social no espaço rural de Funhalouro, houve necessidade de se considerar como uma das categorias da pesquisa.
Projetos ‘Desenvolvimentistas’ e apontamentos sobre a noção de desenvolvimento entre escalas global e local em Moçambique
Authors: de Regina Cassalho João , Milisse Chambe Zacarias
Published: September 2023

Este ensaio busca estabelecer paralelos entre dois trabalhos de campo de perfis etnográficos realizados em períodos próximos, mas em localidades geograficamente diferentes em Moçambique. Nas pesquisas deram origem a este texto, foi necessário analisar narrativas e interpretações locais sobre projetos desenvolvimentistas, seus efeitos, promessas e fracassos. Uma das pesquisas foi realizada na comunidade Namanhumbir, Distrito de Montepuez, Província de Cabo Delgado, região norte de Moçambique, onde existe um projeto um de extração de rubis dirigido pela Empresa Montepuez Ruby Mining Lda., originária de um joint-venture entre a GEMFIELDS Lda., de capitais britânicos e a Mwirit Lda., de capitais moçambicanos. Outra pesquisa foi feita no Povoado de Inhassune, Distrito de Panda, província de Inhambane, sul de Moçambique. A planície que se situa a povoação foi alvo de importantes projetos de desenvolvimento agropecuário tanto no período tardo-colonial, quanto nos anos socialistas de Moçambique. Interpretando as duas situações de campo, buscamos evidenciar, que ‘desenvolvimento’ também pode ser compreendido como uma categoria “nativa” com forte conteúdo polissêmico, por vezes paradoxal. Não suficiente, argumentamos que os projetos desenvolvimentistas convivem com um campo de mediação entre o local, o nacional e o global, que envolvem a agência de sujeitos locais com particular capacidade de agenciar pessoas e saberes locais, lidando e contornando forças exógenas. Em contextos híbridos, onde os projetos desenvolvimentistas são aplicados, as diferentes expectativas e interpretações sobre desenvolvimento participam de um conjunto de práticas, conhecimentos e linguagens que constroem noções de pertencimento, de autoctonia e estrangeirismos que nos obrigam incluir na análise a compreensão de uma gramática política local.

Published: September 2023

The objective of this experiment was to study the effect of Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) on jackfruit by-products using filamentous fungi. Rags from a ripen jackfruit were fermented for 5, 10 and 15 days by Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus oryzae at 30 °C. Then the bioactive compounds were extracted using methanol. Total phenolic content, total flavonoid content, antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic activity of each liquid extract were estimated. The results showed significant increase and improvement in the samples in which SSF was applied. The highest total phenolic contents were found in fermented products with A. niger and R. oryzae with an average of 14.16 mg GAE/g D.S which was almost 3 times over the concentration found in unfermented products (4.83 mg GAE/g D.S). The same fermented products showed a significant increase in total flavonoid content which was 2 times higher than unfermented products with an average of 31.79 mg QuE/g D.S for fermented products and 15.08 for unfermented. The antioxidant activity was correlated to the total phenolic and flavonoid contents with the highest activity of around 76 % found in fermented products against 55 % for the unfermented ones. Finally, hypoglycemic activity was also found to be higher in fermented products than the unfermented with the best activity obtained in 5-days fermented product with A. oryzae (35.62 %) which was 8 times higher than non-fermented products (4.52 %). The present study showed that Solid-State Fermentation has a great potentiality to improve and enhance antioxidant and hypoglycemic activities of plant by-products.

GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
On Mathematics Anxiety and Achievement of BSHRM Students in Surigao City, Philippines
Authors: Jonathan C. Macabodbod
Published: September 2023

Mathematics anxiety is an intense feeling of uneasiness about one’s ability to do mathematics, interfering achievement in the subject. The study aimed to describe the relationship between mathematics anxiety and mathematics achievement, and the respondents’ profile characteristics, including the extent of student-teacher rapport. The sample comprised of 109 BSHRM students (32 males and 77 females) selected through stratified sampling. Mathematics anxiety was measured using the internally reliable Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale-Philippines, the student-teacher rapport using the Instrument for Teacher-Student Rapport, and mathematics achievement using the respondents’ performance in College Algebra. A descriptive-correlational design was used, where Pearson product-moment correlation, analysis of variance, and linear regression modelling were the means to analyze the data. The results revealed that mathematics anxiety has a significant negative correlation with mathematics achievement. In addition, it was found that the respondents significantly differed among each other when grouped based on the extent of student-teacher rapport, but no differences when they were grouped based on gender, age, and type of high school they graduated. There is a cubic polynomial function model that describes the relationship between math achievement and anxiety. These findings suggest that student-teacher rapport is an important factor to mathematics anxiety and achievement. Also, a student support program relevant to enhancing self-efficacy, classroom atmosphere, class participation, and study skills may be designed to facilitate mathematics education of students with anxiety in the subject

Challenges for the Corrosion Science, Engineering, and Technology Community as a Consequence of Growing Demand and Consumption of Materials: A Sustainability Issue
Authors: Milošev Ingrid , Scully John R.
Published: September 2023

This perspective is intended to bring awareness to the corrosion community that the growing demand for engineering metallic materials required for our increasingly technological society is unsustainable. Current strategies important for materials science and especially the corrosion community are presented. First, the consumption of metals is reviewed, and the global supplies and demands of metals are discussed given different scenarios, including models of global societal development. It is pointed out that expected future consumption rates place pressure on the availability of specific elements used regularly throughout the world, with nearly every element in the periodic table now utilized in production of new technological devices. The consumption pushes the mining and production of metals to levels that should be counterbalanced with novel engineering and technological methods that incorporate strategies for metal sustainability. Standard approaches such as “make-use-dispose” must gradually be transformed into a circular economy paradigm embracing the “reduce-reuse-recycle” approach. Although recycling can bolster the engineered material supply, the growing demands require additional actions to significantly preserve natural resources and prolong metal sustainability. Our views on the abilities of the corrosion community to contribute to the concept of a circular sustainable economy are introduced. Maintenance strategies and corrosion management control may not be sufficient and need to be complemented with existing or emerging new technologies such as additive manufacturing, inverse engineering design, and solvometallurgy in combination with integrative design, modeling, and machine learning approaches. The corrosion community can impact the end-of-life of components and infrastructure at different levels, starting from mining through design, production, use, reuse, and recycling. Each process step is discussed, seeking possible solutions to preserve the metal resources by, for example, achieving more efficient and high-yield mining, designing and modeling new materials, increasing production efficiency, introducing light-weighting and smart materials, as well as developing more efficient recovery, recycling, and separation.

Este artigo teve como objetivo averiguar se a adoção e uso da Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) são percebidos de maneira distinta a partir da introdução de versões simplificadas de seus símbolos, adaptadas a um contexto de formação de líderes de processos em uma organização. Para isso, fez-se uso de um quasi-experimento envolvendo 41 empregados da área de suprimento de uma empresa do setor elétrico brasileiro, participantes de um treinamento para líderes de processos. Os indivíduos empreenderam duas rodadas de execução de tarefas, onde ao término de cada uma delas responderam ao questionário da pesquisa. Como suporte teórico lançou-se mão do modelo UTAUT, apresentando suas variáveis e constructos no instrumento de coleta de dados. O principal resultado aponta que a manipulação da notação BPMN findou em diferenças estatisticamente significativas para 13 das 15 variáveis dependentes mensuradas entre os grupos experimentais e o grupo controle, atendendo ao objetivo inicial do estudo. A partir disso são sugeridas hipóteses e uma agenda de estudos futuros.
