| Study on the Influence of Gender, Ecological Norms, and Habits on the Selection of Transportation Modes | ||||||
This research examines the correlation between women's modal choices and ecological norms, car usage habits, and their willingness to reduce car usage. A survey was conducted among the Jabodetabek (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) community, yielding 403 valid responses. The hypothesis under investigation posits that women's willingness to reduce car usage is influenced by their ecological behavior and car usage habits. Data were analyzed using the Spearman Correlation method in SPSS. The results indicated that women's modal choices are not significantly correlated with their ecological norms or car usage habits, nor is their commitment to reducing car usage correlated with gender.

| Detection of Three-Dimensional Center of Gravity for ship capsizing prevention requiring no knowledge of ship parameters or loading conditions | ||||||
Ships have become an indispensable transportation method in global logistics because of their capabilities for transporting huge cargoes at low cost. Maritime transportation safety issues are important research objectives for the support of sustainable logistics. Capsizing accidents often cause devastating losses to logistics and supply chain stakeholders, and severely damage marine environments. This article presents a new method able to prevent capsizing accidents without any ship information or parameters, or conditions under which the ship is loaded. This article presents a means of calculating wave height based only on the ship's motion, which can in turn affect the ship's motion, even causing a capsizing accident.

| The Importance of the Environmental Licensing Process for Wind Farms in the State of Ceará: Technical and Environmental Aspects According to COEMA Normative Instruction No. 01/2018 | ||||||
The environmental licensing of wind farms is a highly relevant topic in the context of the energy transition and the pursuit of renewable and sustainable alternatives. Wind energy, globally recognized as a clean and efficient source, has experienced exponential growth in Brazil, particularly in the state of Ceará, which stands out for its favorable natural conditions, such as steady, high-intensity winds. However, the installation and operation of these ventures require attention to technical and environmental aspects to minimize ecological and social impacts. In this regard, environmental licensing, governed by regulations such as COEMA Normative Instruction No. 01/2018, plays a fundamental role in balancing economic development with environmental preservation, making it an indispensable tool for promoting sustainable development......

| Geomechanical Analysis and Mud Weight Optimization for Wellbore Stability in Masa Field Niger Delta | ||||||
One of the challenges facing a well's life cycle is wellbore instability. Issues such as collapse of borehole, lost of circulation, stucking of pipe and production of sand results in non-productive time (NPT) which is a major off-shoot of wellbore instability. Well log suits [gamma ray, resistivity, sonic, density, neutron and Vsh logs] were used to deduce the rock mechanical characteristics for wellbore stability management. The depth of investigation ranges from 6000m-11000m of the stratigraphic unit of normal to abnormal pressured sandstone and shales. The volume of shale across the field ranges from 0.05 – 1.00m3, vertical stress magnitude from 11.09 – 94.99 MPa/km, maximum effective horizontal stress from 42 – 87.02 MPa/km, & minimum.....
