“…At the organizational level, better LPI performance is associated with improved organizational performance and financial outcomes (Ayantoyinbo & Gbadegesin, 2021;Fugate et al, 2010). At the national level, LPI is generally linked to economic growth, competitiveness, disaster resilience, and sustainability (Çelebi̇ & Civelek, 2019;Furkan FahriAltıntaş, 2021;Khan et al, 2017;Mahlet Demere Tadesse et al, 2022;Santos et al, 2020). Second, limited impacts of LPI subdimensions were explored in specific sectors like retail (Green et al, 2008) and healthcare (Cagliano et al, 2022).…”

Logistics plays a vital role in ensuring the competitiveness of countries in the international arena. The Logistics Performance Index, which reflects countries' international competitiveness, shows a country's efficiency in trade. However, the Logistics Performance Index determines the countries' on-the-ground efficiency of trade supply chains or logistics services from the view of worldwide logistics firms' managers. As a result, the robustness of the underlying data is related to individual logistics firms' factors; moreover, in the common literature, the effects of the Logistics Performance Index on countries' individual logistics firms' logistics performance have yet to be researched. This paper aims to analyze the effects of Logistics Performance Index and its subdimensions on the logistics firms' logistics performance. The data is gathered from the World Bank database between 2007-2018 and the International Association of Forwarding and Logistics Service Providers sectoral databank. Variance-based structural equation modeling with regression analyses is used for measurements. Contrary to the joint logistics and supply chain literature, the results show that infrastructure and tracking sub-dimensions of Logistics Performance Index negatively relate to firms' logistics performance in Turkey.

“…The management of organizational operations demands constant attention from the managers involved, who need to optimize their service flows, giving agility to the processes to avoid waste (Santos et al 2020). Specifically, when it comes to the Brazilian context, companies are faced with limitations inherent to the operational capacity of the logistics sector, such as: failure in information management, dependence on road transport, lack of quality of port services, constant change in prices of fuels, lack of development of reverse logistics and the high cost of air transport.…”

This thesis had as main objective to propose and validate a script to enhance the insertion of social sustainability practices in logistic systems considering the context of companies operating in Brazil. To achieve this goal, four phases were conducted. In the first phase, we sought to understand the sustainable transport methods that have been used, their type, benefits and difficulties, based on a systematic literature review. At this stage, it was possible to see the main actions and methods that have been developed to promote more sustainable transport activities. In the second phase, the sustainable practices that have been developed in logistics systems by Brazilian companies were identified through the content analysis of 30 sustainability reports. In this phase, 22 different sustainable practices that have been developed by Brazilian companies were identified. In the third phase, the importance attributed by Brazilian professionals in the field of logistics about performance indicators for the assessment of sustainable logistics systems was identified, considering environmental, economic and social aspects. To this end, a survey was conducted with 50 professionals working in Brazil. The results of this phase show that professionals working in the logistics area in Brazil relegate social aspects to the background compared to environmental and economic aspects. Therefore, the fourth phase consisted of structuring and validating a roadmap to enhance the insertion of social sustainability practices in logistics systems through the development of a DELPHI with professionals in the field of logistics and sustainability working in Brazil. As the main results of this phase, it is highlighted that the validated script includes actions ranging from the service and adequacy of legal issues related to sustainability, through the initial diagnosis of the company, motivation and awareness of the importance of social sustainability, followed by the encouragement of the insertion of practices of social sustainability in logistic activities, and finally, the identification of improvement opportunities and establishment of execution plans within the organization. The validated script converges to restructuring and redefinition of the organizational culture oriented towards meeting sustainable guidelines and also contemplates the dynamics of seeking continuous improvement throughout all levels and sectors belonging to a given organization. Analyzing from a practical point of view, the results of this thesis can be used by professionals working in the logistics area who aim to enhance the insertion of social sustainability in activities and operations in which they are inserted, ensuring a better environmental, economic and social performance of their organizations. From a theoretical point of view, researchers can also use the results presented here as a starting point for future research, to validate the results in other contexts and realities, further promoting the expansion of debates in the area of sustainable logistic...

The superheater and re-heater piping components in supercritical thermal power units are prone to creep and fatigue failure fracture after extensive use due to the high pressure and temperature environment. Therefore, safety assessment for superheaters and re-heaters in such an environment is critical. However, the actual service operation data is frequently insufficient, resulting in low accuracy of the safety assessment. Based on such problems, in order to address the issues of susceptibility of superheater and re-heater piping components to creep, inaccurate fatigue failure fracture, and creep–fatigue coupling rupture in a safety assessment, their remaining life prediction and reliability, as well as the lack of actual service operation data, multisource heterogeneous data generated from actual service of power plants combined with deep learning technology was used in this paper. As such, three real-time operating conditions’ data (temperature, pressure, and stress amplitude) during equipment operation are predicted by training a deep learning architecture long short-term memory (LSTM) neural network suitable for processing time-series data and a backpropagation through time (BPTT) algorithm is used to optimize the model and compared with the actual physical model. Damage assessment and life prediction of final superheater tubes of power station boilers are carried out. The Weibull distribution model is used to obtain the trend of cumulative failure risk change and assess and predict the safety condition of the overall system of pressurized components of power station boilers.
