E-commerce growth has posed challenges for companies, especially regarding the last mile. Thus, solutions to meet consumer expectations are being adopted where dropshipping, which involves dispatching products sold directly from suppliers, and fulfillment, where e-commerce companies maintain a large quantity of inventory to delivery items to their clients, are the main ones. This study aims to compare these two models in an e-home furniture store, using the assessment of logistics and operations experts, in a multicriteria decision model using the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP). The analysis was conducted considering critical factors that influence the efficiency and viability of these models such as cost, product availability, physical structure, information technology (IT), loss management and delivery times. The results indicate a preference for dropshipping model for the online furniture company. However, it is necessary to consider that the choice between the two models also depends on the specific characteristics of each company.

Background: Cargo theft represents a persistent challenge to last-mile logistics in the peripheral regions of São Paulo, Brazil, compromising transportation security and increasing operational costs. These high-crime areas disrupt supply chain stability and hinder e-commerce growth. Traditional security methods often fail to address the complexity and uncertainty present in these environments, necessitating adaptive approaches. Methods: This study applies an Expert System based on Paraconsistent Annotated Evidential Logic Eτ to assess the effectiveness of security interventions. Logic Eτ is particularly suited for analyzing uncertain, incomplete, and contradictory data in complex logistics settings. A mixed-methods approach was employed, integrating evaluations from nine experts representing different hierarchical levels within a logistics company. Six key security measures, including GPS tracking, armed escorts, optimized delivery windows, and the hiring of local drivers, were analyzed using favorable degrees and unfavorable degrees for each parameter. Results: The results demonstrated that five measures were effective, contributing to a 58% reduction in security costs in Arujá and 75% in Cajamar, two major distribution hubs. Conclusions: This study highlights the potential of combining Expert Systems and Eτ Logic to enhance cargo transport security, offering a scalable decision support framework for companies operating in high-risk urban regions.

O presente trabalho busca refletir sobre a formação de professores e apresenta uma experiência pedagógica ocorrida após o período de aulas remotas, período em que as atividades escolares ocorrerão utilizando as tecnologias devido a necessidade do isolamento social provocado pela pandemia da Covid 19, a referida experiência, foi realizada com alunos de uma escola pública do município de Montes Claros / Minas Gerais. A experiência surgiu a partir da necessidade de recuperar os alunos com dificuldade de aprendizagem do 1º Ano do Ensino Fundamental, da referida escola. Esta pesquisa teve como objetivo acompanhar e buscar recuperar os alunos que estavam com dificuldades de aprendizagem, utilizando para isso o material disponibilizado no site do Ministério da Educação pelo aplicativo GraphoGame. Para a fundamentação teórica foi realizada uma revisão bibliográfica, com vários autores destacando: Mercado (1998), Sampaio e Leite (2001), Ribeiro (2001), Ichiba, Sousa, Musetti, Simões (2021) e ainda o material disponível no site do Ministério da Educação, em seguida foi realizada a aplicação do material disponibilizado em forma de uma sequência de jogos. Destacamos ser essa pesquisa de suma importância, para que os professores conheçam e saibam utilizar essa ferramenta, pois com a pesquisa podemos afirmar que o aplicativo pode proporcionar uma melhoria na aprendizagem, no entanto para utilizar o aplicativo como recurso didático, o professor deve conhecer muito bem o aplicativo, para que o mesmo, possa ser utilizado na perspectiva de suprir as necessidades dos alunos em questão.
