Remote sensing applied to litho-structural and regolith mapping of the SW of Angola (PLANAGEO Project)

ABSTRACT: IGEO (Geological Institute of Angola) has developed the sosubprograms was focused on the remote sensing survey of the country. The main objective of the study is the use of satellite Earth Observation data in order to support preliminary geological and regolith mapping. This allows us to obtain a first approximation to cartography 1:250.000. Litho-structural and regolith maps are elaborated over eight blocks, covering one-third of the country area and including different geological contexts.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Mapping municipal solid waste to boost circular valorization practices in Łódzkie

ABSTRACT: Geographic Information System (GIS) is a powerful instrument that can be used for the spatial representation of waste and by-product flows at various levels, allowing to improve municipal solid waste (MSW) management. The mapping obtained can be advantageously targeted to build a regional network of technological, economic, social and environmental linkages and to boost circular economy practices. In this work, the data on MSW produced in the Łódzkie region, Poland, during 2021 were used to generate a geolocalized database and an interactive web map, using ArcGIS software. The geodatabase and the map visualization were organized in three layers of information with increasing detail to foster a map-driven symbiosis between waste suppliers and waste recipients, paving the way for a more circular regional economy.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The Impact of Cognitive Fatigue on Airline Pilots Performance

Purpose: Air transport is a highly regulated branch of aviation, but it continues to show occurrences where human error is present. Fatigue is now recognized as a hazard which degrades human performance and can put flight safety at risk. In this regard, the general objective of this study is to assess the impact of cognitive fatigue on airline pilots and how it can contribute to the occurrence of accidents and incidents. Design/methodology: Three airline pilots participated in the case study. The participants’ cognitive fatigue was monitored according to four methods, being two of them of a subjective nature – the sleep diary (SD) and the Samn-Perelli 7-Point Fatigue Scale (SPS), and the other two of an objective nature – the Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) and the actigraphy (actiwatch ReadibandTM 5). During their flight duty periods (FDPs), the pilots’ performance was also assessed according to the score delivered by a fatigue management software (FAID®). Findings: The obtained results allowed to understand whether the pilots are aware of their alertness and to identify factors which affect their performance levels. Between the beginning and the end of each FDP, significant changes were observed concerning the assessment on the SPS scale, the reaction time (RT) and the fatigue score generated by the biomathematical models associated to the technique of the actigraphy and the software FAID®. Originality/value: The risk of accident or serious error was classified according to the four methodologies used. Thus, it is possible to verify if there is a correspondence between the different scales or if there are scales more conservative (with a higher associated risk) than others.Peer Reviewe

Dados abertos no geoPortal da Energia e Geologia : Enquadramento, tipologia e gestão

RESUMO: O Laboratório Nacional de Energia e Geologia (LNEG) produz e disponibiliza “dados abertos” nas áreas da Energia e Geologia. A disponibilização deste tipo de dados, no seu geoPortal, vai ao encontro da política de abertura de dados promovida pela instituição no âmbito da missão que lhe está atribuída. A infraestrutura de Dados Espaciais (IDE), que suporta a informação, é também a interface com outras plataformas nacionais e internacionais, e.g. Sistema Nacional de Informação Geográfica (SNIG) ou a Infraestrutura Europeia de Dados Geológicos (EGDI). Irá também permitir a comunicação com o Portal Nacional de Dados Abertos.N/
