In addition, benchmarking...

Improving access to higher education and enhancing citizens’ skills knowledge can play a crucial role in South Africa’s development. Twenty-five years ago, most of the population Africa did not have education. The situation has changed significantly, although there is room for improvement. This study explored educators’ awareness benefits impediments blended learning, online distance virtual exchange or engagement versus face-to-face teaching learning on campus at maritime training...

This paper reviews the most important cases of using Blockchain to support Big Data in maritime transport and supply chains make them secure integrated. Contemporary global markets trade produce a vast amount that is collected from various sources processed, structured, categorized order provide information users sector. Also, as new disruptive technology could benefits for handling, securing, efficient management within transportation chain. The presents some key platforms logistics...

The paper proposes a Radio Frequency IDentification (RFID) model for enhancing port workers’ safety with reference to the Port of Bar (Montenegro) as developing seaport operating in transitional environment. also highlights lack appropriate Information and Communication Technology (ICT) solutions some seaports, including safety-related ones. It emphasizes importance measures through prism reducing number accidents, gives review RFID harsh environments. main part deals worker’s proposed...

This paper presents and analyzes the examination of sample thirty students master doctoral studies from five different universities regarding their level satisfaction with available e-learning resources in blended environment at high educational institutions. They were also asked about kind system they would like to have future. For purpose quantitative assessment perception, two well-known structured approaches used: one based on Saaty's AHP method, other set up four-dimension Kano's model...

Abstract Coordination Of Maritime assets for Persistent And Systematic Surveillance (COMPASS2020) is an EU H2020 project, which has as overarching goal deployment of Unmanned Vehicles (UxV) - aerial, sea surface and underwater ones, in addition to manned offshore patrol vessels, enhance current maritime border surveillance operations regarding detection irregular migrants narcotics smugglers. This paper gives overview several research projects on autonomous marine vehicles, a key...

The purpose of the paper is to present a conceptual framework blockchain (BC) deployment in shipping and port management, which encompasses distributed relational database (DB) crypto-currency payment mechanism as main constructs. core model TradeLens platform. document workflow financial processes device connectivity are key scenarios proposed framework. stakeholders play role traditional intermediaries goods, accompanied data, documents flows, including overall supervision between...

The paper provides a chronology of blockchain and cryptoassets development. It describes the principles Bitcoin, including blocks transactions. Cryptocurrencies smart contracts are enabled thanks to technology, but this technology considerably increases energy consumption carbon footprint. Hence, indicates how much is consumed during past 2022 year by different platforms at world scale. article points as well some prospects larger deployment in future with aim enhancing economic inclusion

This paper deals with challenges of implementing blockchain (BC) technology in maritime at developing countries, a research focus on Montenegro and South Africa. Research design categories analyzed the are chosen due to search relevant secondary literature resources. Selected experts Information Technology (IT) from aforementioned countries were asked about their perception BC as disruptive technology, its implementation, implications other industries, through questionnaire, which contains...

The paper presents blockchain-based maritime supply chain system (BMSCS) and Blockshipping decentralized platform for containers' smart booking releasing as one of BMSCS applications. conceptual framework is discussed along with its actual benefits, frailties, key players. In addition, global shared container (GSCP) described at rather high level abstraction; including potentials to increase efficiency, reduce costs environmental impacts through enhancing intelligent turnover containers in...

The ports’ management is facing the challenge of sustainable port development, considering several aspects: economic, technological, logistical, environmental, and community involvement. Although numerous scientific concepts have been developed for explaining trends involvement into logistics chains, this research work presents an attempt to draw attention marketing aspect mission, being focused primarily on customers’ needs, whose preferences are key factor in selecting specific competitive...

This paper considers some of the barriers in implementing RFID (radio frequency identification) technology for identifying, locating, tracking and tracing goods supply chains, along with a model adopting cloud services that can mitigate these obstacles transitional environment. The analysis is based on assessments implementation impediments, given by experts field logistics: university professors, assistants entrepreneurs from three Western Balkan countries (Montenegro, Serbia, Bosnia...

The problem of estimating plutonium temperature by an iterative procedure based on the special trans functions theory has been studied in some detail. In theory, differential linear equation can be effectively reduced to a non-linear functional transcendental solvable theory. This approach is practically invariant under starting value. significant, because said does not depend password data cargo. Obtained numerical results and graphical simulations confirm applicability such approach.

The subject of the theoretical analysis presented in this paper is an analytical approach to temperature estimation, as inverse problem, for different thermistors – linear resistances structures: series and parallel ones, by STFT - Special Trans Functions Theory (S.M. Perovich). mathematical formulae genesis both cases given. Some numerical graphical simulations MATHEMATICA program have been realized. estimated intervals strongly determined values equivalent nonlinear structures are given, well.

This paper analyzes the perception of respondents in Montenegro, Serbia and Bosnia Herzegovina regarding level institutional rationality deficit basic selected factors that have a predominant impact on it.It uses explains conditional notion as specific form bounded economic rationality.It starts from hypothesis during long-lasting transition process there were four groups inhibitors to introduction development mentioned countries (rule law, institutions, civil society opportunistic...

The subject matter of this paper is the Special Trans Functions Theory (STFT) in finding exact analytical closed form solutions (the new special tran functions) certain Lambert transcendental equations. Note that these equations frequently appear applied physics and engineering domain. structure theoretical derivations, proofs, numerical results confirms validity basic principles STFT. Undoubtedly, proposed approach implies qualitative improvements conventional methods techniques.
