... Trade agreements often facilitate the access of conventional agricultural products to foreign markets by removing barriers such as tariffs and quotas (Cardwell and Biden, 2023). For largescale agricultural producers in countries such as the United States, Brazil, or Australia, this can mean expanded sales opportunities in places where there is high demand but insufficient local supply (Garlet et al., 2023). ...

... Furthermore, the problem is considered an open-dimensional problem in which a Cartesian coordinate system is used as a reference for the cutting plane of rectangular items, also called the rectangular twodimensional strip packing problem (2D-SPP). The main objective is to minimize the height (or length) or maximize the area used to pack all small items (rectangles) in the strip (sheet metal), without overlapping [3][4][5][6]. A packing layout can be found manually, using algorithms based on heuristics [7][8][9][10][11] to obtain good quality alternative solutions or exact methods [12][13][14] to find the optimal solution with optimality proved. ...

... Additionally, solar energy is utilized using two important technologies: photovoltaic and thermal solar [6]. Photovoltaic technology directly converts solar radiation into electricity through semiconductor cells [7]. For solar thermal technology, solar energy is collected by a solar concentrator and transformed into useful energy that allows vapor generation [8]. ...

... Patents can not only provide a competitive advantage; they are also a measure of technological progress. The collection of patents in a particular field of technology is part of the accumulated knowledge of that discipline of science and technology [58]. As a tool for the assessment of innovation potential in the shipping industry, patent analysis has been discussed in the literature, although its use for this purpose is rare, perhaps due to the prevailing view of the shipping industry as technically conservative [59]. ...

... A total of 23 articles (69.7%) were published from 2000 onwards as a consequence of the internet bubble burst, which caused an increase in investor concerns about the risks involved in financing startups (Ljungqvist and Wilhelm 2003;Min et al. 2008;Bouwman et al. 2012;Silva Júnior et al. 2022b). ...

... It happens that the characterizations of population nature manages to obtain as results information on the structure and large number of identity attributes of various groups of people with evolutionary continuity in time, which according to their differences configure particular ways of being and being in a territory, in this research was taken to the department of La Guajira in the country of Colombia, Because this area is a territory very rich in natural resources, which makes it a potential in the implementation of renewable energy sources, however despite this natural disposition, this area of that country is one where its inhabitants suffer from a poor quality of life (Moreno Rocha et al., 2022). These studies characterizing a population vs. its energy potentials also make it possible to focus attention on guaranteeing or re-establishing the effective enjoyment of rights of population groups, the recognition of their diversity and multiculturalism as a social wealth, the particularities and inequalities that hinder or enable their access to the dynamics and benefits of social and territorial development (Thomasi et al., 2022). The importance of correctly directing the appropriate forms of population characterization exercises lies in the fact that they allow to base the design, adjustment and implementation of public policies with a view to transforming situations considered as problematic, and offering goods and services that respond satisfactorily to the needs and interests of population groups (Zhu et al., 2022). ...

... However, during periods of economic contraction, when business is more challenging, top management is likely to be less focused on strategic planning, as they look to conserve resources and weather the downturn. This cyclical nature of the banking sector means that strategic planning is likely to be more important in some years than in others (Michelin et al., 2022).). ...

... The power category involves EB characteristics related to the influence the entrepreneur has on others, such as: (a) networking and persuasion (the entrepreneur uses strategies to influence or persuade others and has key collaborators to assist him in achieving his goals; and (b) independence and self-confidence (he seeks autonomy from the norms and controls of others, and has confidence in his own ability to perform complex activities and tasks or overcome challenges (Cooley, 1990;McClelland, 1987;Michelin et al., 2022;Mourão & Locatelli, 2020). ...

... In this analysis, a useful life of 25 years, an annual degradation rate of 0.8%, and a maintenance cost of 10% of the initial investment considering the replacement of the inverter occurring every ten years were considered. In addition, the study considered the difference between the average energy tariff adjustments of the local energy concessionaire during the last ten years and the expected values of the Special System for Settlement and Custody (Selic) rate as a discount rate Duaik et al., 2022;Rediske et al., 2022). ...

... As well as [16] who mention Energy Cloud as an energy platform, other authors also state that the energy platform can offer a solution for integrating distributed renewable energy systems with new technologies because it includes all the technical, commercial, environmental, and regulatory changes required to transition from a conventional electricity market to a clean energy distribution grid [22,23,26]. Thus, in this cloud-based power management environment, the consumer has increased autonomy to manage their power through cloud solutions, which provide less environmental impact, stability of power lines, transmission, and gathering of different forms of renewable energy [25]. ...
