Abstract This paper focuses on Floating Production Installations, which are assets designed based on site-specific environmental conditions to determine their design service life. The longevity of these assets depends on the fatigue aspects related to the structural elements and mooring systems. Among the challenges involving the continued services of ageing assets is the integrity of these elements. When an asset reaches its end of design service life, Operators often decide to undergo a life extension process for safe continued operations. Alife extension process generally includes three phases: investigation, determination and implementation. Following a baseline inspection to determine the present conditions of the structures, engineering assessments are to be carried out to evaluate the fatigue damage through the lifecycle of the installation and therefore determine the remaining fatigue life. Collecting information to execute these assessments is challenging and can be automated with the use of digital technology. Digital tools allow an accurate collection of data, providing a continuous evaluation of the remaining fatigue life and supporting an informed decision-making process. Observing the operation of several aging assets and their structural behaviour, the parameters to be measured during the installation's lifecycle have been identified along with other aspects that also contribute to the determination of its continued service. The recommended data acquisition for relevant measurements is summarized in this paper. The application of sensors and monitoring systems on the installations allows measuring these parameters on a continuous basis, and consequently, Operators are able to determine the degradation pattern that the structure is subject to. An estimation of the remaining fatigue life can be achieved by using predictive analysis, which, along with insights of the future expected corrosion, provides Operators the necessary basis to implement corrective measures and mitigations to avoid the occurrence of a failure. This paper offers an innovative, forward-looking technology that allies physics-based processes with digital technology, supported by predictive analytics and continuous structural evaluation, to assess the integrity of an offshore asset in support of safe continued services.

Abstract The Tensioned Riser Assessment for Continued Service (TRACS) JIP develops a structured life extension process for TTR systems including single casing, dual casing, buoyancy can supported and tensioner supported TTRs. The JIP bridges regulatory and API frameworks and achieves industry consensus on analysis, inspections, and documentation. The life extension process developed in this JIP consists of detailed roadmaps that guide the operator through the different assessment steps starting from initial data gathering through to the development of the forward-looking IMP. The JIP life extension process is based on a threat assessment philosophy which ensures identification and assessment of all possible threats to the integrity of the TTR in its extended life. The JIP process is validated against three real life TTR systems that are nearing the end of their design lives. Potential threats to the integrity of these TTRs during the projected continued service beyond the design life are identified and specific inspection and analysis recommendations to safely manage or mitigate these threats are made. The JIP also provides TTR life extension analysis guidance while considering the opportunities to reduce conservatism compared to new designs. Inspection of TTRs is challenging due to accessibility issues and the pipe in pipe construction. Several subsea NDE inspection tools are surveyed in this JIP and their applicability to TTRs is discussed.

This community service activity aims to equip children with various kinds of knowledge about further study, have a view on further study so that students are able to make decisions in choosing and planning their studies, according to their talents and interests. The method used in this service activity is counseling with lectures and open discussions in conveying material, this can facilitate the extension process and students are more flexible to ask questions about various matters related to further study. The target of this community service activity is the students of class XII SMA Negeri 1 Labuapi, West Lombok, totaling 30 students. The result of this service activity is that students are able to plan and make further study decisions they want after graduating from high school that is tailored to their talents and interests.

AbstractAim of the paper is to analyse specific factors of human-robot collaboration and adoption to Industry 4.0 technologies in relation to working in mixed teams and in virtual work environment. Based on literature review and current findings in unified theory of technology acceptance and use of technology (UTAUT) model and its extensions, new endogenous factors might be included/considered, in a UTAUT model, namely emotional attitude (trust towards technology, perceived threat) and new moderators such as a location of organization and type of workplace-based training in organization. Team identification and self-extension process are intended as drivers for development of positive attitudes in human-robot collaboration and prerequisites of sustainable human-robot interaction. Regarding the findings in human-robot collaboration, the authors suggest including the type of personality and the attitudes towards Human-Robot collaboration among the extended factors of technology adoption within Industry 4.0 strategy. Emotional attachment acts as a relevant factor of successful Human-Robot collaboration that can be maintained by a support of team identification and self-extension process. For the development of positive attitudes in human-robot collaboration, principles of personalized design can be applied, e. g. engaging the workers in designing specific features of the robot. It can be supposed that specific models of technology adoption - as UTAUT/UTAUT2 will require new extensions in a context of work analysis in a virtual work environment, e.g. health and psychological assumptionsIn the paper, subjective assessment of the increase in well-being of the workers after the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies is identified as one of the new Industry 4.0 outcomes within the human capital definition of Industry 4.0.

Presidential Regulation Number 20 of 2018 concerning the Use of Foreign Workers as a trimmer of bureaucracy so that Foreign Workers who will come to Indonesia have the licensing process not as complicated as before. However, the reality in the field still finds some systemic problems that occur in the ITAS extension process, including: Electronic ITAS notification sending that does not go to the sponsor's email and has to be resent and the network when taking Biometrics (taking photos and fingerprints) is slow and the Biometric Matching System (BMS) to the center used by all applications requiring biometric checks is also slow. This certainly hinders immigration officers from issuing ITAS. System problems that occur include: Electronic ITAS notification sending that does not go to the sponsor's email and has to be resent and the network when taking Biometrics (taking photos and fingerprints) is slow and Biometric Matching System (BMS) to the center used by all applications requires slow biometric checks too.

This text, by using a qualitative approach of theoretical and reflexive analysis, aims to promote peace education as a pedagogical axis in university extension and to generate a reflection on the importance of incorporating the cooperative games in the extension process at the Universidad Nacional. It is concluded that education and group processes can be articulated around the cooperative games as a fun­damental axis that allows building col­lective knowledge, promoting experienc­es, as well as the development of certain skills to strengthen group processes
