“…It is important to point out that the data treated in this paper comprise a population subset, the result of an intentional non-probabilistic sampling (Martins and Theóphilo, 2009), being strictly sufficient for the intended simulation. This ensures the anonymity of members belonging to the studied population and avoids any affront to the protection guaranteed by the General Law for the Protection of Personal Data.…”

This paper aims to investigate the impact on the actuarial result of the survivor’s pension system in the Brazilian Armed Forces, as well as on the benefit itself, resulting from the modification of its costing plan with the use of the NDC system. To achieve this, a simulation was conducted using the R software, based on a model of notional accounts, and utilizing data from 3,942 military personnel who joined the Armed Forces in 2020. From both the perspective of public spending and the amount received by the beneficiary, the results indicate a significant reduction, mitigating the deficit in the Social Protection System of the Armed Forces at the expense of the degradation of the survivor’s pensions to be granted. In addition to the uncertainty about the replacement rate, depending on the variation in the parameters adopted for calculating the benefit, the pure NDC system would create differences that currently do not exist, such as the existence of distinct and greater benefits for men, and pensions of different values left by military personnel with identical careers. The originality of the article encompasses the theme “notional accounts” applied to the Brazilian Armed Forces, the perspective to be developed, with application to the survivor’s pension benefit, since, as a rule, the focus is on the old-age pension, and empirical research on a social protection system little explored in the literature. Keywords: NDC System; Survivor’s Pension; Armed Forces; Social Protection; Military Survivor’s Pension.

Purpose This paper aim to propose a methodological mapping approach for the evaluation of dissertations and theses of graduate programs in the area of environmental sciences in Brazil in relation to the UN sustainable development goals (SDGs). Design/methodology/approach The research is characterized as exploratory with qualitative/quantitative approach. The proposed model was developed as a computational algorithm with a pilot being adopted as a professional master in national network for teaching in environmental sciences (ProfCiAmb) comprising associated courses from nine Brazilian public universities. 230 dissertations completed between 2018 and 2020 were analyzed. Findings A total of 266 correlations were identified between the texts and descriptors of each SDG. Correlation values between 0.100 (minimum value – Vmin) and 0.464 (maximum value – Vmax) were observed. SDG 4 – Quality Education (Vmax = 0.399) and SDG 6 – Drinking Water and Sanitation (Vmax = 0.464) were those with the highest correlation values, followed by SDG 3 – Health and Well-Being (Vmax = 0.299) and SDG 17 – Partnerships and Means of Implementation (Vmax = 0.249). Practical implications The construction of the computational algorithm provided consistent quantitative analyses with potential to contribute to the improvement of the multidimensional evaluation of graduate studies, as well as to support public policies related to teaching and research and strategic planning of the programs. Originality/value The relevance of this study lies in the creation of a model that involves the creation of metrics and tools regarding the impact of graduate studies on society.

“…Representan un paso delante de las RD, pues corresponden a un fenómeno adaptativo por parte de editoriales depredadoras, con mayor nivel de sofisticación. Aparecieron en 2012, caracterizándose por ser multidisciplinares, anunciar factor de impacto, aceptar manuscritos de diferentes áreas, trabajar en idioma original no inglés 24 .…”

La revistas depredadoras (RD), constituyen una gran amenaza para la publicación contemporánea, ya que ofrecen una publicación rápida de acceso abierto a cambio de tarifas sin procedimientos de revisión por pares para científicos jóvenes o inexpertos.Son compañías que priorizan el interés propio a expensas de la academia, caracterizándose por entregar información falsa o engañosa, distorsión de las mejores prácticas editoriales y de publicación, falta de transparencia y uso de tácticas de solicitud de manuscritos indiscriminadas y agresivas.El objetivo de este manuscrito fue generar un documento de estudio sobre las RD y secuestradas, así como de las conferencias depredadoras en cirugía.
