A Modeling Approach for Cargo Transportation Considering Energy Saving

This study presents a cargo transportation system management model that enables users to carry out the cargo process efficiently and economically. Cargo transportation is an important part of the transportation systems network. The advantages of cargo transportation are to ensure the safe delivery of products, save time and reduce costs. This study addresses the solution to the problems of high carbon dioxide emissions, and late and expensive deliveries caused by large distribution networks, by taking into account the density and logistics strategies of the cargo companies. The proposed cargo management system focuses on delivering cargo to destinations along the route that users are currently traveling on. This system is built around three main components: optimized route planning by an A* algorithm, a system model controllable through mobile and web interfaces, and nodes designated as drop-off and pick-up points for cargo. The A* algorithm runs with a reward matrix that also takes direction into account to calculate the optimal route. Users carry out the cargo management and tracking processes on mobile and web interfaces. Automatic nodes, which are the model prototype of the study, represent the cargo vending machines where users deliver/receive their cargo. Through this work, users can view and select cargo to carry while traveling between destinations and earn profits by acting as cargo carriers/drivers.

Truthful mechanisms to maximize the social welfare in real-time ride-sharing

Ride-sharing contributes significantly to lowering trip expenses, easing traffic congestion and decreasing air pollution. However, current order pairing approaches in ride-sharing usually focus on minimizing total trip distances or maximizing platform profits, overlooking the drivers’ desire for increased earnings. As a result, drivers might provide dishonest information to gain higher profits, leading to inefficient order pairing for the ride-sharing platform and potential losses for both the platform and drivers. In this paper, we address this challenging issue by developing efficient order pairing mechanisms that maximize the social welfare of the platform and drivers. Specifically, we introduce two truthful auction-based order pairing mechanisms, SWMOM-VCG and SWMOM-GM, where drivers bid on platform-published orders to complete them and earn profits. We provide theoretical proof that both mechanisms fulfill the criteria of individual rationality, profitability, truthfulness and so on. Using real taxi order data from New York City, we assess the performance of both mechanisms and show that they achieve greater social welfare compared to existing methods. Additionally, we find that SWMOM-GM requires less computation time than SWMOM-VCG for order pairing, with only a minor reduction in social welfare.

ResNLS: An improved model for stock price forecasting

AbstractStock prices forecasting has always been a challenging task. Although many research projects adopt machine learning and deep learning algorithms to address the problem, few of them pay attention to the varying degrees of dependencies between stock prices. In this paper we introduce a hybrid model that improves stock price prediction by emphasizing the dependencies between adjacent stock prices. The proposed model, ResNLS, is mainly composed of two neural architectures, ResNet and LSTM. ResNet serves as a feature extractor to identify dependencies between stock prices across time windows, while LSTM analyses the initial time‐series data with the combination of dependencies which considered as residuals. In predicting the SSE Composite Index, our experiment reveals that when the closing price data for the previous five consecutive trading days is used as the input, the performance of the model (ResNLS‐5) is optimal compared to those with other inputs. Furthermore, ResNLS‐5 outperforms vanilla CNN, RNN, LSTM, and BiLSTM models in terms of prediction accuracy. It also demonstrates at least a 20% improvement over the current state‐of‐the‐art baselines. To verify whether ResNLS‐5 can help clients effectively avoid risks and earn profits in the stock market, we construct a quantitative trading framework for back testing. The experimental results show that the trading strategy based on predictions from ResNLS‐5 can successfully mitigate losses during declining stock prices and generate profits in the periods of rising stock prices.

Monetising User Participation, Content and Expertise: Sources of Income for Indonesia’s Digital News Media

The global news media industry is still looking for a sustainable business model. The digitalisation of the media has forced the global press industry to seek compensation for lost revenue traditionally derived from advertising. A similar phenomenon is also occurring in a Global South country, Indonesia. With many social media users and thousands of startups, the opportunity to benefit comes from two channels: monetising user participation and content. What is the current position of conglomerate and digitally native news media on the two options? How are websites and social media used by both media to support these two sources of income? The research applied two methods, website content analysis and social media analysis, to see revenue channels, web functions, user participation on the web, and social media functions. In addition, we interviewed eight informants from eight media. This research finds that digital news media conglomerates and Indonesian startups earn profits through similar channels, such as monetising user participation and content and their expertise. However, slightly different from established digital media, digital native media companies expand their revenue stream by monetising their expertise, for example, by offering market research and data analysis. Digital news media with a niche market of readers will most likely offer their expertise. Keywords: Media business model, digital news media, paywall, user participation, user-generated content.

Operation management of rural banks of local government in the emerging market: An assessment of agency conflict or social responsibility

Rural banks with local government ownership as majority shareholders aimed to increase public welfare and earn profits. state-owned banks (also state-owned enterprises (SOEs)) also have agency conflict, which may increase due to increased political content. Post-merger and acquisition (Post-M&A) due to the COVID-19 pandemic increases rural bank risk in lending. The research objective is to determine the impact of increased risk on rural bank lending. Data were collected from 32 annual reports of rural banks in Indonesia. Documentation was used to collect the data. Loan deposit ratio (LDR) is the dependent variable, the risk is the independent variable, and capital adequacy ratio (CAR), net profit margin (NPM), and return on equity (ROE) as the control variables. The technique of analyzing data is an analysis of covariance. The result show banks with below average risk have a greater difference (0.0393) than above average risk (0.0347). Another result indicates that LDR is not determined by the bank’s health or the business risk of the debtor. Government demands through financing in local government, and it ignores risks and produces risk-taking behavior of managers. The government, as the majority shareholder, has a more effective monitoring role. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) oriented to society demand has been produced from rural banks owned by the government.

A novel strategy for process optimization of a natural gas liquid recovery unit by replacing Joule–Thomson valve with supersonic separator

The natural gas liquid recovery is an important process in a gas plant to correct hydrocarbon dew point and earn profit. In this study, a natural gas liquid recovery unit operated based on the Joule–Thomson process was investigated and its performance was optimized. To improve the system performance, the plant configuration and intermediate pressure ratio were defined as the variables and maximization of the natural gas liquid recovery rate and maximization of exergy efficiency were defined as the objective functions. To improve the plant performance, the amount of natural gas liquid recovery rate should be increased. To achieve this goal, several scenarios for the intermediate pressure ratio and three new configurations were proposed for the investigated gas plant. In the proposed configurations, the supersonic separators with optimized structures were used instead of the Joule–Thomson process. It was observed that all three proposed configurations improved the natural gas liquid recovery rate compared to the existing configuration. For example, by installing two supersonic separators instead of second and third stage Joule–Thomson valve + low temperature separator, at the optimal operating condition, the natural gas liquid recovery rate increased about 390%. The influence of the intermediate pressure ratio on the phase envelope diagram, exergy efficiency, dew point depression and natural gas liquid recovery rate was also investigated. By comparing the influence of intermediate pressure ratio and modifying the plant configuration on the objective functions, it was observed that the system performance can be further improved by modifying the plant configuration.

Comparative analysis of recycling modes of power batteries based on extended producer-responsibility principle

To improve the effectiveness of recycling, echelon utilization, and recovery mechanism of waste power batteries (WPBs), 12 recycling modes were proposed based on extended producer-responsibility principle. By employing profit and sensitivity analyses, we found that resource-recovery companies (Rs) are the key for recycling, echelon utilization, and recovery mechanism. For R, the high resale price of waste LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 batteries was not conducive to recovering waste batteries. However, the recycling behavior of R was beneficial for resisting the risk of high resale price of waste LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 batteries. This condition increased the profits by saving on the buying cost and reselling of WPBs to echelon-utilization companies. Following the decrease in the number of recyclers in the recycling system, the profits of R also increased. However, when the proportion of recycled waste LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 batteries was 100%, the profits of R faced risks due to the high resale price of waste LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 batteries. For other recyclers, only the power-battery manufacturers (Ms) were willing to reduce the resale price of waste LiNixMnyCo1−x−yO2 batteries to let R earn profit because R supplied regenerated materials to M at a lower price than the material companies. This condition created a cycle for WPB recovery and reduced the use of raw materials. Thus, Mode M–R was considered as the optimal recycling mode.

Governance Strategies for Informal Settlements in China: The Case of Guangzhou

Informal settlements in developing countries have attracted widespread attention, and existing research is mainly concerned with the causes and evolution of informal settlements. However, few studies have focused on investigating the spatial governance strategies of informal settlements in order to understand the evolution of informal settlements in the context of institutional arrangements. The aim of this research is to develop a framework for the spatial governance of informal settlements to explain their causes. The research finds that informal settlements in China are influenced by an urban–rural dual land system in which the collective land ownership system means that villagers are ambiguous in their approach to land development. During rapid urbanization, villagers have adopted diverse land development strategies based on land rent incentives to attract capital investment and earn profits, which has led to the rapid spread of informal settlements.

Downstream competition and profits under different input price bargaining structures

In a vertically related duopoly with input price bargaining, this paper re-examines the downstream firms’ profitability under different market competition degrees. It is shown the rather counterintuitive result that downstream firms earn highest profits with semi-collusion, whose level depends on the upstream bargaining structures, the relative parties’ bargaining power, and the parameters measuring the degree of product differentiation in the downstream market. Concerning social welfare, the key result is that policymakers can tolerate some degree of collusion with decentralized bargaining structures; centralized structures advise for a more procompetitive policy.
