Este artigo apresenta um estudo paramétrico que analisa como as características do poço e as propriedades da rocha-reservatório influenciam a produção, com foco no desempenho produtivo e no suporte a estratégias operacionais mais eficientes. Problemas representativos de campos de petróleo brasileiros foram estudados, enfatizando o refinamento e a graduação de malhas de elementos finitos para modelagem do fluxo em poços canhoneados. O estudo parte de uma análise prévia de refinamento de malha, que demonstrou a importância de equilibrar precisão e custo computacional. A investigação inicial utilizou uma configuração de carga de 6 spf para validar o modelo numérico e foi ampliada para incluir seis configurações de carga, variando de 1 spf a 6 spf. A partir da configuração de 4 spf, foram definidas distribuições de elementos em diferentes direções para adaptar o modelo a diversas densidades de carga. Além disso, o impacto da anisotropia da rocha-reservatório, definida como a relação entre as permeabilidades vertical e horizontal, foi avaliado para cargas de 1 a 6 spf. Os resultados mostram como a orientação e a variação espacial da permeabilidade influenciam a razão de produtividade, oferecendo insights sobre a influência da anisotropia no desempenho de poços canhoneados.

This study aimed to the scientific production on the environmental impacts of photovoltaic energy from 2012 to 2022. It employed a qualitative and exploratory approach, utilizing bibliographic, systematic, and bibliometric research methods. The analysis focused on articles available in Capes journals that included the keywords "photovoltaic" and "environmental impacts" in their content, as well as those with full-text availability on the platform. A total of 22 articles were individually evaluated, and information was cross-referenced between them. Manual analysis of the full texts revealed that while environmental impacts were not the central theme of the research, they were present in other areas, particularly in analyses of financial viability or studies on the efficiency of photovoltaic systems. This study contributed to the understanding of the main central themes researched in relation to photovoltaic energy and how the environmental impacts caused by it are addressed in studies on solar energy, but mainly it identified the need for studies that centrally address these impacts.

Parkinson's Disease (PD), a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by dopaminergic neuron degeneration, leads to motor and non-motor symptoms that significantly impair quality of life. Conventional treatments, such as levodopa, provide symptom relief but are associated with long-term complications and do not halt disease progression. This review systematically evaluates the efficacy and safety of gene therapy targeting the aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (AADC) enzyme in treating PD and AADC deficiency, focusing on sustained dopamine production and motor function improvement. A systematic literature review was conducted using databases like PubMed, Scopus, and Embase, covering studies published over the past 32 years. Out of 52 articles identified, 25 met inclusion criteria, providing data on motor outcomes, dopamine production, and safety profiles. Findings suggest that AADC gene therapy may offer a durable therapeutic approach, reducing reliance on conventional dopamine replacement therapies and mitigating related complications. This review highlights gene therapy's potential in clinical practice, emphasizing a shift towards targeted treatment strategies for dopamine-deficient neurodegenerative disorders. Further research should address long-term efficacy and safety across diverse patient groups. Limitations include potential selection bias and language restrictions.

A Study on the Development of Smart Urban Logistics Complex through Analysis of Logistics Facility Development Trends
Authors:   Korea Real Estate Policy Association, Lim Hyun-chul , Go Jae-young , Park Tae-Won
Published: December 2024

In order to investigate the supply trend of logistics facilities according to the increase in demand for urban living logistics, this study derived characteristics and implications through the analysis of the trend of construction permits(new construction) for logistics facilities by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport over the past 10 years. As a result, the total floor area of logistics facilities nationwide has steadily increased to 18.44% per year, but the number of buildings tends to decrease to 1.77% per year. This is the result of a trend in logistics facilities in which the shape of logistics facility buildings is increased from a small low-rise eyepiece type to a high-rise eyepiece type using a ramp to increase logistics efficiency and competitiveness, and it was analyzed that logistics facilities were led by Gyeonggi-do among 17 metropolitan and provincial governments. In order to find a way to solve the negative perceptions and external diseconomy problems of current logistics facilities and to develop them into future urban logistics complexes, a logistics expert FGI was conducted to set the direction to be applied to the development of future urban logistics complexes. In this study, it was suggested that since smart urban logistics complexes are fused and integrated with ICT(Information and Communication Technology) to seek logistics efficiency and competitiveness by reducing logistics time and distance through digitalization, automation, and intelligence, they should be developed as planned locations not far from consumption to reduce external diseconomy and seek harmony with urban environments, and develop an urban spatial hierarchy, which is an economic size that can prevent duplication of logistics services inside and outside the city and provide benefits to urban residents, at the district level. It is expected that the smart logistics complex will be newly established as a sustainable new growth complex closely related to the daily lives of urban residents.

The Parallels of Self-Reflective Writing: A Comparative Analysis of Herta Müller’s Novel The Land of Green Plums and Essay How Perception Invents Itself
Authors: Ujeniuc Alina
Published: December 2024

Following her emigration to Germany in the late 1980s, Herta Müller’s essays began to focus on the writing process and the interplay between memory, creative thought, and the written text. This thematic concern also appeared in her early fictional works. Self-reflective approaches to writing first surfaced in her essay collection Der Teufel sitzt im Spiegel. Wie Wahrnehmung sich erfindet (1991) and continued in later collections such as Der König verneigt sich und tötet and Immer derselbe Schnee und immer derselbe Onkel (2011). This article aims to examine how Müller stages the act of writing in a self-reflexive manner in her 1990s essays, and how this is mirrored in her fictional works. The article addresses this question in detail.

Overstappen naar het hbo: een onderzoek naar hbo-vaardigheden bij mbo-studenten
Authors: Peters Martijn , Jenniskens Tessa , De Lange Marloes , Leest Bianca , Wolbers Maarten
Published: December 2024

De laatste jaren is er steeds meer aandacht voor de groeiende kansenongelijkheid in het onderwijs in Nederland (Onderwijsinspectie, 2019). Deze kansenongelijkheid manifesteert zich met name bij  overgangsmomenten, zoals van mbo naar hbo. De overgang van mbo naar hbo heeft in het Nederlandse onderwijssysteem een sterk emancipatoire functie met het oog op kansengelijkheid.
Leerlingen ervaren echter veel drempels bij de overgang van mbo naar hbo. Zo wordt er in het hbo meer van studenten gevraagd op het gebied van studievaardigheden, zoals zelfstandig werken, plannen en het verwerken van grote hoeveelheden informatie. Ook het kiezen van een passende vervolgopleiding in het hbo kan moeilijk zijn. Loopbaancompetenties kunnen studenten helpen in dit keuzeproces.
Studievaardigheden en loopbaancompetenties zijn dus nodig voor een succesvolle overstap naar het hbo en worden daarom in dit onderzoek samen benoemd als hbo-vaardigheden. De HAN en KBA ontwikkelden een instrument om deze hbo-vaardigheden te meten. In dit artikel wordt de ontwikkeling en validering van dit instrument besproken. Door het ontwikkelen van een valide instrument kan de voorspellende waarde van studievaardigheden en loopbaancompetenties voor studenten met een mbo-achtergrond op studiesucces in het hbo worden onderzocht. Met de uitkomsten van het onderzoek kan de begeleiding van mbo-studenten die willen overstappen naar het hbo worden verbeterd.
Het ontwikkelde instrument lijkt een valide aanzet om hbo-vaardigheden in kaart te brengen. Het lijkt er op dat de met name de studievaardigheden, en dan met name het onderdeel plannen, een (beperkte) voorspellende waarde hebben voor studiesucces. De voorspellende waarde van de loopbaancompetenties is gering.
Koersen op een complex ideaal: de kansketen als middel voor evenwichtiger schoolbeleid voor gelijke onderwijskansen
Authors: Burgers Floris , Denessen Eddie
Published: December 2024

Kansengelijkheid wordt verschillend gedefinieerd en is daardoor een complex ideaal voor scholen om beleidsmatig op te koersen. Werken aan een ideaal dat verschillend wordt gedefinieerd brengt uitdagingen met zich mee die de effectiviteit van maatregelen gericht op gelijke onderwijskansen kunnen ondermijnen. Dit paper heeft als doel scholen te ondersteuning bij het ontwikkelen van kansenbeleid in die complexe context. Om verschillende perspectieven op kansengelijkheid hanteerbaar te maken voor de onderwijspraktijk beginnen we met het maken van een onderscheid tussen twee kansengelijkheidsperspectieven: gelijke loopbaankansen en gelijke ontwikkelkansen. Vervolgens bespreken we hoe het naast elkaar bestaan van deze twee perspectieven op scholen kan leiden tot ambigue redeneerlijden in het gelijke-kansenbeleid en tot spanningen en weerstanden bij de implementatie van beleid. We eindigen het paper met het introduceren van de kansenketen als middel voor scholen om deze beleidsproblemen te voorkomen en te werken aan evenwichtiger en effectiever kansenbeleid.

YARGI KARARLARINDA KULLANILAN SİNKAFLI SÖZLERLE HAKARET İBARESİNİN HAKARET SUÇU BAĞLAMINDA DEĞERLENDİRİLMESİ
Authors: Canoğlu Veysel Candan
Published: December 2024

Bu makale, ceza muhakemesinde ifade alma, sorgu ve arama gibi birtakım işlemler kapsamında elde edilen ve belirli sözleri içeren beyanın veya belgenin tutanağa “sinkaf” ibaresi kullanılarak geçirilmesini konu almaktadır. Arapça s ve k harflerinin okunuşuyla oluşturulan sinkaf kelimesi, kaba konuşmada erkeğin cinsel organını karşılamaktadır. Bu ve bundan türetilen veya ilişkilendirilen kelimelerin kullanılması, ahlaka aykırı olarak görülebildiğinden örneğin bir ifade alma işleminde tanığın söylemiş olduğu sözler, sinkaflı sözler olarak tutanağa değiştirilmiş bir şekilde geçirilebilmektedir. Öyle ki ceza muhakemesinin başında yapılan ilk işlemlerden birisi olan ifade alma işleminden Yargıtayın temyiz incelemesi sonucu verdiği karara kadar yapılan birçok işlemde sinkaflı sözlerle hakaret gibi ibarelerin kullanıldığı görülebilmektedir. Bu kullanım, uygulamada genel olarak kabul görmüş olsa da kanımızca birtakım ilke ve kurumlar açısından olumsuz sonuçlara yol açabilmektedir. Örneğin beyanın değer yargısı katılarak tutanağa geçirilmesi, özellikle hâkimin tarafsızlığını gölgeye düşürebileceği gibi delilin hukuka aykırı olmasına ve şüpheli veya sanık açısından masumiyet karinesinin ihlal edilmesine neden olabilmektedir. Maddi hukuk açısından failin cezai sorumluluğu belirlenirken bu sözlerin suçun fiil unsurunu oluşturduğu durumlarda hatalı tespitlerde bulunabilmektedir. Nitekim failin cezai sorumluluğu belirlenirken öncelikle ele alınacak suç tipi belirlenmektedir. Akabinde bu suçun unsurlarının oluşup oluşmadığı incelenmektedir. Ancak faile ait olan sözlerin sinkaflı ibarelerle değiştirilmesi suç tipinin belirlenmesinin yanı sıra, bu suçun tipiklik ve hukuka aykırılık unsurlarına dair değerlendirmeyi de zorlaşabilmektedir. Suçun oluştuğuna karar verilmesi durumunda cezanın belirlenmesi sürecine geçilmektedir. Benzer şekilde fiilin ne olduğu net bir şekilde belirli değilse cezanın belirlenmesinde sorunlar yaşanabilmektedir. Bu sonuçlar esasen sinkaflı ibaresinin kullanım şeklinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Bu kullanım, cinsel taciz ve tehdit başta olmak üzere birçok suça dair yürütülen yargılamada görülebilmektedir. Çalışmanın kapsamının daraltılarak sorunun daha net bir şekilde anlaşılabilmesi amacıyla biz, yargı mercileri tarafından verilen kararlarda sinkaflı sözlerle hakaret gibi muhtelif şekillerde kullanılan bu ibareleri, hakaret suçu bağlamında ele alarak ceza ve ceza muhakemesine hâkim birtakım ilke ve kurumlar açısından değerlendirmekteyiz.
Late Cretaceous turbidite systems of southern Belgrade outskirts: Constraints on the Santonian convergence onset, evidence from the Sava Suture Zone (Guberevac-Babe, northern Šumadija, Serbia)
Authors: Spahić Darko , Simić Dragan , Barjaktarović Miljan , Kurešević Lidja
Published: December 2024

As ancient depositional systems associated with active continental margins, turbidites may provide crucial information on orogenic evolution. This paper offers new stratigraphic and structural data on one of the late Alpine turbidite systems of the Late Cretaceous age (Guberevac-Babe-Ropočevo area; Serbia). The two opposite yet juxtaposed tectonic systems were initially deposited within the Sava Suture Zone and East Vardar Zone, whereby the former experienced Upper Cretaceous contractional- and extensional-type deformations. The new biostratigraphic dating constrains the age of mapped compressional structures, which indicates their Santonian age. This deformed segment of the newly dated Santonian clastic-carbonate turbidite sequence near the Guberevac site exposes new important compressional structures. The folds, reverse faults, and tectonic stylolites are allocated several kilometers from the primary deformation (Bela Reka thrust fault), positioned within the crustal footwall of the overriding East Vardar Zone.
The complexity of the geological processes in the Guberevac-Babe-Ropočevo area is further revealed by the previously mapped layering of Upper Cretaceous strata, exposed within the wider investigated area. Our combined field study provides a new statistical analysis of structural elements such as faults, folds, and bedding planes, adding to the depth of the understanding of the Sava Suture Zone. The observed contractional structures, mesoscopic folds, thrust faults, two-generation cleavage planes, as well as the produced statistical structures, are mostly imprinted into the out-of-deformation front or within the mixed clastic-carbonate turbidites of the Sava Suture Zone (Guberevac-Babe area). The composite study shows that the investigated footwall segment, represented by the deformed Sava Suture Zone turbidites, underwent tectonic shortening during Santonian (convergence onset). After the main crustal thickening event ceased, the Guberevac-Babe-Ropočevo suture segment was reactivated several times (post-orogenic extension). The investigated segment of the Neotethyan Vardar paleosuture experienced a total of four deformation stages spanning Late Cretaceous to Miocene times. These include the Late Oligocene reactivation and emplacement of the Glavčina-Parlozi Late Oligocene subvolcanic body and the slightly younger Stenička bara Miocene igneous system.

One of the key tasks in ensuring national security is the ability of the state and society to recognise and effectively assess the conditions for disasters, and to prevent them from threatening the sustainable development of the country. The Kyrgyz Republic is highly vulnerable to the influence of climate change, which in turn affects the frequency and intensity of disasters. The Kyrgyz Republic is exposed to almost all types of geological and man-made hazards, including earthquakes, landslides, debris flows, flash floods, outbursts of mountain lakes, dam failures, avalanches, droughts, extreme temperature, epidemics and releases of hazardous substances. Analysis of information on existing risks and their control systems used to reduce their negative impact makes it possible to assess the degree of probability, the expected consequences of threats, determine the degree of risk, the adaptive potential of communities and select appropriate protective measures. Therefore, this study is conducted to assess the hazard, vulnerability and exposure of Suzak district (Jalal-Abad oblast) in order to quantify the risk of the study area using multi-parameter holistic assessment with field collecting of primary data and utilizing Index-based Risk Assessment approach based on applying INFORM Risk model. Collected data was used to downscale subnational INFORM Risk model for municipal and district level using a multi-layered structure. A risk score is calculated by combining 72 indicators that measure three main dimensions: hazard & exposure, vulnerability, and lack of coping capacity. These findings provide an opportunity to develop a more effective disaster risk management at the local and national levels, by prioritizing relevant actions and investments for municipalities – districts which are demonstrated relatively highest risk scores. Also, the possibility of applying localized risk assessment procedures provides an opportunity to obtain more accurate sub-national (district/oblast based) and national levels with effective assessing dynamics of risk.
The Fire History of Old-Growth Forest in the Barro Colorado Nature Monument, Panama
Authors: McMichael C. N. H. , Bush M.B.
Published: December 2024

Fire originates from human ignition in rainforests and causes major shifts in species composition. Given the long lifespans of tropical trees, disturbance and recovery processes occur over periods of centuries and are not fully captured in modern ecological surveys. We assessed the fire and vegetation history of the Gigante forest plot in the Barro Colorado Nature Monument using a series of 42 soil cores. We quantified macroscopic charcoal fragments in 10-cm depth intervals for the cores and obtained 14C accelerator mass spectrometry dates on all 14 charcoal fragments of sufficient size. One charcoal fragment indicated that modern fire (ca. AD 1976) was found in the central regions of the plot. Eight of 14 fragments contained evidence of fires occurring between 900 and 600 years ago, and these cores were located in the central and southern regions of the plot. Our results are very similar to the ages of fire events and archaeological evidence found at Barro Colorado Island, which is 5 km away. These data indicate widespread and recurrent fire events across this part of the landscape of Panama 900 to 600 years ago but almost no evidence of fire in the last few centuries.
Insights Into Focal Seed-Dispersal Systems on Barro Colorado Island
Authors: Howe Henry F.
Published: December 2024

Mckey (1975) hypothesized that animal-dispersed tropical plants produce either relatively few seeds with rich fruit rewards that attract specialist consumers or relatively many seeds with inexpensive rewards sought by generalist opportunists. These ideas have been investigated on Barro Colorado Island in studies of focal seed-dispersal systems, defined as a tree species and the assemblage of animals that consume fruits and disperse or fail to disperse seeds. Virola sebifera and V. surinamensis produce small crops of protein- and fat-rich fruits that attract a few obligate fruit-eaters. Most trees are depleted of ripe fruits daily. Guarea guidonia and Protium stevensonii (syn. Tetragastris panamensis) produce superabundant fruits of low nutritional content that attract opportunistic vertebrates consistent with the generalist paradigm. Studies of seedling recruitment show that dispersal away from parents is of critical importance in Virola surinamensis but not in Protium stevensonii. These studies illustrate the strategies and rewards of seed dispersal among tree species.
Life History Trade-Offs Between Growth and Anti-Herbivore Defenses
Authors: Coley Phyllis
Published: December 2024

Plants have evolved a battery of defenses that have proven effective at reducing loss of leaf tissue to herbivores. Yet, even though defenses reduce herbivory, species differ dramatically in their investment. In 1976, Feeny proposed apparency theory suggesting that species that were long-lived (“apparent”) would be easily found by both specialist and generalist herbivores and would invest in broadly effective defenses. In contrast, ephemeral species (“unapparent”) could escape discovery by specialists and would only need to invest in defenses effective against non-adapted generalists. Coley’s dissertation, which led to the resource availability hypothesis, was a test of this, measuring defenses and herbivory on saplings of 41 gap specialists (“unapparent”) and shade tolerant species (“apparent”). The results did not support apparency theory. Instead, the resource availability hypothesis posits that the inherent growth rates of species are adapted to the typical availability of resources in their preferred habitat and that slow growth selects for high investment in defense.
Spatial Patterns of Species Distribution Across the Barro Colorado Island 50-ha Forest Dynamics Plot
Authors: Detto Matteo
Published: December 2024

Ecologists have a long history of observing and studying species spatial distribution over a broad range of scales. The establishment of large-scale mapped forest plots in tropical forests, starting with the Barro Colorado Island 50-ha plot, made it possible to study spatial processes that occur at the scales of an individual plant’s neighborhood for thousands of trees and hundreds of species cooccurring in a relatively small area. This unprecedented spatially explicit dataset has stimulated a large body of literature to understand what spatial patterns can tell us about the interactions among species and their environment, and ultimately elucidate the mechanisms that promote high diversity in tropical forests. Here I review some of this large literature, mainly focusing on the connection between patterns and processes.
Herbivores, Plant Defenses, and Tree Diversity
Authors: Coley Phyllis D.
Published: December 2024

The interactions between plants and herbivores shape the high species diversity of tropical forests as well as the evolution of both groups. We examine this interaction in the tree genus Inga, which is speciose and locally diverse and abundant. At the local scale, the growth and survival of Inga is reduced if it grows near conspecifics, and this negative-density dependence is not due to competition for resources but rather is due to sharing herbivores. Herbivores typically consume young leaves, with 75% of the lifetime damage occurring during the short window of leaf expansion. Inga have evolved multiple lines of defense, including secondary metabolites, hairs, extrafloral nectaries, rapid leaf expansion, and the timing and synchrony of leaf flushing. These six classes of defense have little or no phylogenetic signal, suggesting strong selection for divergence in defenses among close relatives. There is no congruence between the host and herbivore phylogenies, suggesting a lack of tight coevolution. Instead, related herbivores feed on plants with similar defenses.
The Facilitation of Online Learning for Middle-aged Employees
Authors: Nurani Gita Aulia , Lee Ya-Hui
Published: December 2024

In recent decades, online learning has dominated all industries, while middle-aged employees might find it challenging to switch offline to online work environments. The study explored (1) the characteristics of effective online learning programs for middle-aged people, and (2) the benefits of online learning related to the work-life capacities of middle-aged people. This study used qualitative phenomenology and data were collected using semi-structured interviews. The participants included twenty human resources (HR) or learning development managers, nine females and eleven males. All managers from national or multinational companies used online learning during the last three years. The study revealed that online learning for middle-aged has specific characteristics: focus on practical or strategic skills, combining online tools and offline activities, clear time-limit, including multigeneration, small numbers of participants, and applying a personal approach. The study also indicated that online learning for middle-aged needs to be integrated and combine more than one activity. Lastly, the study showed that the benefits of online learning for middle-aged people are the refreshment of knowledge, work-skill renewal, and growth mindset awareness. To conclude, a monitoring program should be implemented to ensure output quality and achieve the learning goals. The researchers suggested further research to explore learners' barriers and how they cope with online situations.

O presente artigo visa apresentar o direito à moradia e a regularização fundiária no ordenamento jurídico para investigar a implementação de processos e projetos estruturais pelo Poder Judiciário brasileiro. O objetivo é analisar a necessidade de decisões e procedimentos estruturais para modificar o estado de coisas inconstitucional consolidado pela precariedade habitacional no Brasil. O método científico utilizado é o dedutivo, alicerçado nas técnicas de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. Em conclusão, com fundamento na ADPF 828/DF e no Programa Moradia Legal do Tribunal de Justiça do Paraná, prova-se que a resolução de demandas complexas envolvendo o direito à moradia deve ser constituída por processos e projetos estruturais que possibilitem a efetivação da cidadania, da dignidade da pessoa humana e a proteção de vulneráveis.
O paradoxo jurídico das mães de Haia
Authors: Rocha Leonel Severo , Pereira Magda Helena Fernandes Medina
Published: December 2024

O artigo trata da subtração internacional de crianças e adolescentes por parte de suas genitoras – vítimas de violência doméstica no exterior. O objetivo do trabalho é analisar as singularidades jurídicas, nas perspectivas do Direito Reflexivo de Teubner e de um movimento democrático inclusivo, que permeiam o paradoxo de mães de Haia brasileiras, bem como a possibilidade do surgimento de um direito intercultural. Adota-se perspectiva pragmático-sistêmica e como principal referencial teórico o Direito Reflexivo de Gunther Teubner. Concernente às conclusões, verificou-se que, à luz do Direito Reflexivo teuberiano e com vistas a um movimento democrático inclusivo, há a possibilidade de surgir um direito intercultural com capacidade para equacionar lacunas jurídicas hipercomplexas, bem como para atender reivindicações democráticas inclusivas, a exemplo do paradoxo das mães de Haia.

Tumor del cuerpo carotídeo: la importancia de la embolización preoperatoria
Authors: Marín Juan , Zuñiga Paulo , Zamboni Gian , Marín Claudia
Published: December 2024

Los tumores del cuerpo carotídeo (paragangliomas) son neoplasias muy vascularizadas,
muy poco frecuentes y, en general, benignas, originadas en los quimiorreceptores del
cuerpo carotídeo. Se presenta el caso clínico de una paciente de 65 años, remitida por
aumento de volumen cervical derecho asintomático, con un estudio preoperatorio
realizado con eco Doppler cervical y angiotomografía, cuadro compatible con un
tumor del cuerpo carotídeo. Se resolvió quirúrgicamente tras la embolización del
tumor, mediante una resección completa con mínimo sangrado y preservación de los
nervios craneales vecinos. La biopsia informó un paraganglioma del cuerpo carotídeo.

Published: December 2024

This paper investigates the impact of electrical load management on reducing exhaust gas emissions in Landing Platform Dock (LPD) class vessels. The study focuses on the implementation of Integrated Fully Electric Propulsion (IFEP) systems and Variable Speed Drives (VSD) to enhance energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The conventional Diesel Engine Propulsion system in LPD vessels often results in high fuel consumption and significant emissions, particularly under non-optimal operating conditions. By transitioning to an IFEP system and optimizing electrical load management using VSD, the study demonstrates a substantial reduction in carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitrogen oxides (NOₓ), and sulfur oxides (SOₓ) emissions. The results indicate a potential emission reduction of up to 40%, alongside a 20% improvement in overall energy efficiency. Additionally, the operational benefits of these technologies include increased flexibility, reduced maintenance costs, and extended equipment lifespan. The findings underscore the importance of adopting advanced propulsion and load management technologies in naval vessels to meet stricter environmental regulations and support sustainable maritime operations. This study provides a framework for future research and practical applications in expanding these technologies across different ship types and operational scenarios.
