A Fresh Perspective on Permanent and Retrieved Borrowing Programs Competitiveness: A Journey of Operation Research

Based on the application of businesses research methodology to the finance industry, this study offers a novel method for evaluating the projected To determine the optimal refinancing rate of returns that is likely to increase the bank's expected total revenues, the estimated worth of all revenues for variable and adjustable home loans is calculated. The investigation considers the impact of commonplace, deposits, bankruptcies, and financing rates on bank profitability and emphasizes balancing between potential gains and losses while selecting the lending rate. To ascertain the loan amount lowest reduces the banking institutions expected whole right away. We therefore used mathematics approaches to analysis in addition to fixed-rate or benchmark mortgages models incorporating mortgage rates as the deciding parameter. Findings suggested that although cancelation produced a detrimental effect on earnings of banks, increases in popularity, interest rates, and loan amounts had an advantageous impact. The study emphasizes how crucial it is to thoroughly consider all of the variables that affect income in order to choose the best loan rate that will maximize profitability. With ramifications for cost-benefit studies, fixed-rate and index mortgages, lending rates, fails to repay, and optimum earnings, the findings offer insightful information about the ideal home loan payment as well as the elements that impact a bank's revenue and profitability. This investigation adds to the body of knowledge already available on housing products. It suggests maximizing housing financing costs for greatest shareholder return by taking consideration of the loan rate, demand, and expiration impacts. It also offers banks useful suggestions on handling their home loan programs effectively in order to improve the way they operate.

Analysis of Quality Control Strategy Using The Statistical Process Control (SPC) Method In The Mass Product Housing Project at Java Residence Cluster

The advancement of industrial activities requires high-performance management to achieve desired outcomes, particularly in complex projects such as construction. This study aims to analyze the application of the Statistical Process Control (SPC) method to improve product quality in the construction project of the Java Residence Cluster in Sidoarjo. Managing cost, time, and quality remains a significant challenge in construction projects. This research focuses on identifying and addressing complaints or defects in housing units that affect the quality of the project, using SPC as a quality control method. Data were collected from primary sources, specifically from the staff of PT. Mitra Usaha Konstruksi, as well as secondary data from relevant literature. The analysis shows that the application of SPC successfully reduced the number of complaints or defects from 5.95 complaints per unit in Cluster 1 Phase 3 to 3.12 complaints per unit in Cluster 2 Phase 1, with an effectiveness rate of 52.47%. Pareto analysis identified that the majority of complaints were related to doors, windows, and wall paint, suggesting that these areas should be prioritized for improvement in future construction projects. The study recommends the continued use of SPC to improve product quality and identify the root causes of defects to ensure compliance with the developer's quality targets.

OPTIMASI PERSEDIAAN IKAN BANDENG TANPA DURI MENGGUNAKAN METODE STRATEGI EFISIENSI DALAM PRODUKSI

Haji Dinare's Thornless Milkfish Production House is a small industry or home industry in Tarakan City that buys, processes, and markets processed milkfish products abroad. The recording process is still manual, in this Milkfish Production House still uses book records so that the data generated is less accurate, effective, and efficient. In addition, this milkfish production house has weaknesses that need to be improved, namely purchase and inventory reporting whose accuracy, effectiveness, and efficiency have not been met. The home industry that we raise, for example, the Production House of Thornless Milkfish, will be very good if it has a good management system so as to produce a total inventory cost that is close to optimal. One method to manage inventory properly is the Economic Order Quanit (EOQ) method, JIT, data collection, inventory turnover (Inventory Turnover Ratio), average inventory (Avarage Inventory), annual holding cost (Annual Holding Cost), and total annual inventory cost (Total Annual Inventory Cost).

Political Branding of Prabowo Subianto in Instagram During the Presidential Campaign in 2024

The campaign period in the 2024 presidential election was crucial for the three presidential candidate pairs (Anies-Muhaimin, Prabowo-Gibran, and Ganjar-Mahfud) to develop and implement their political communication strategies. Branding was a key aspect of political communication that needed to be considered. One of the more interesting aspects was the branding of Prabowo as a candidate participating in the presidential election for the fourth time, now showcasing a different character. This research was conducted to analyze Prabowo's political branding through social media during the 2024 presidential election campaign. The focus of the research was to describe Prabowo's political branding by categorizing it into three parts: house brands, platform brands, and product brands, in accordance with the brand hierarchy theory from Cosgrove. The method used for the research was qualitative content analysis. Data and information were obtained through an analysis of the content on Prabowo's Instagram account and interviews with three sources related to the research topic. The results of the study showed that the house brand of Prabowo's political branding through social media during the 2024 presidential election campaign was "Prabowo Subianto 2024." Five brand platforms were identified: Humanism, Continuity, Bersama Indonesia Maju (Together with Onward Indonesia), Militarism, and Free Lunch. Furthermore, the product brand identified was Aksi Gemoy, which was part of Humanism.

MICROCRÉDITO HABITACIONAL DO BANCO COMUNITÁRIO DE DESENVOLVIMENTO BANCO BEM, VITÓRIA-ES

This paper presents the Banco Bem bank in Vitória-ES-Brazil, as an experience of the Community Development Bank (CDB) associated with financing the production and improvement of housing in low-income territories, whose population does not have formal access to credit and housing policies. The CBDs are solidarity finance initiatives, one of the main instruments of the Solidarity Economy, which offer, among other activities, credit services (for production, consumption and housing) to the populations in their territories. Despite the existence of a network of CBDs, not all work with housing credit. The Banco Bem bank can be considered one of the pioneers in offering housing credit, as well as technical assistance for self-construction. As an objective, we will analyze this experience based on its different stages in the provision of housing credit, highlighting the possibilities for replicating the experience in other territories. In order to understand its characteristics, we will detail the different stages of granting housing credit by drawing up flowcharts. The aim of this work is to present the community and self-managed financial processes associated with assisted self-construction of housing as a possibility for a powerful, massive and capillary instrument of housing policy for the production and improvement of low-income housing.

Supply and the Housing Crisis A Debate

ABSTRACT: After decades of relative stagnation, American housing policy is now several years into a period of radical change and experimentation. In California, where I am policy director for the state-level organization California YIMBY (Yes in My Backyard), city planners will often gripe (with, I have to admit, some justification) that state housing law is changing too quickly for them to keep up. Several other states—including Washington, Montana, Colorado, Arizona, Florida, and Rhode Island—have enacted their own ambitious housing reforms, with more following each year. Cities like Minneapolis, Sacramento, Austin, and Spokane have redrawn their zoning maps and removed non-zoning barriers to housing production such as minimum parking requirements; meanwhile, New York City is moving ahead with its prohousing “City of Yes” plan, though its ultimate fate remains uncertain.

Upzoning and gentrification: Heterogeneous impacts of neighbourhood-level upzoning in New York City

In light of the calls to relax restrictive density regulations, this paper examines how increasing residential development capacity, i.e. upzoning, may change the demographic, socio-economic and housing characteristics of the affected neighbourhoods. We examine the neighbourhood-level upzonings of New York City to answer this question. We find that upzoning is positively associated with signs of gentrification – upzoned neighbourhoods became whiter, more educated and more affluent in the long run. Upzoning is also associated with increases in housing production, but housing prices also increased. Most importantly, we find that these effects varied significantly by the intensity of upzoning and the pre-upzoning local contexts. Neighbourhoods affected by intense upzonings experienced gentrification more intensely, along with greater housing production, rent growth and housing price appreciation. Black-majority and low-income neighbourhoods experienced gentrification to the greatest extent, while neighbourhoods with high demand for housing saw the greatest increases in housing supply. We discuss different mechanisms of gentrification likely at play for the different types of neighbourhoods.

114 billboards in the City of Wyndham: selling the contemporary Australian suburban housing dream

The study examines the critical, but frequently overlooked, role of real estate intermediation in responding to demographic diversity within the organised production of Melbourne’s growth area suburbs. We examined 114 on-site billboards and 38 active residential development sites in the City of Wyndham, one of the most rapidly expanding suburban municipalities in Australia. Our findings underscore the ways real estate intermediation enchants an imagined suburban lifestyle through systematic marketing of community, amenity, and place. In-situ billboards serve as ‘technologies of enchantment’, promoting an Australian housing dream that is less closely associated with individual housing units, but obscures much of the poor social, environmental, and housing outcomes of suburbanisation. Instead, suburbs are presented as a blank canvas for new migrant homebuyers to exercise agency in consuming culture and building community. The study thus highlights the crucial role real estate intermediation plays in the production of future ethnoburbs in the urban fringes. We call for critical scrutiny of the specific use of visual resources that normalise suburban sprawl and substandard housing production by ingraining specific lifestyle imaginations in the Australian public psyche.

La manzana y la vivienda en la construcción del espacio urbano

The logic of production of residential fabric in intermediate cities, from private interventions in independent lots that make up the block, delimit the framework of research presented, in order to enhance the possibility of generating a quality urban space, in its programmatic, spatial and morphological aspects. It is proposed, from project research, a double approach to the problem, from rethinking the typology of the block and its relationship with semi-public and private public spaces, and to investigate the forms of collective housing production that are articulated with the construction logics of the urban form. It is an ordering system of general structures and parts, where the result of everything is more important than that of each part, respecting the subdivision of the existing land in each chosen city. The methodology enables theoretical elaboration and the study of cases, with the project as a generator of verification instances and as a tool for validating the working hypotheses. The study is given in relation to the existing city and based on case studies in different intermediate cities in the province of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Where Preservation Meets Land Use Regulation: Historic Districts in Los Angeles

Problem, research strategy, and findings Local historic districts function as a zoning overlay regulating the urban form, yet limited empirical analysis has considered how historic districts may interact with broader land use regulations. We conducted a comparative case study of the designation process in two Los Angeles (CA) neighborhoods, combining archival research and building permit data analysis. We examined land use regulations, development patterns, and the arguments of supporters and opponents to understand the intended purposes of the historic districts and the factors that contributed to either adoption or withdrawal. We found interactions between historic districts and other land use and zoning regulations substantially shaped the designation process and outcome. The designation process also has the potential to foster diverse community coalitions organized around a wide range of concerns, from anti-development to anti-displacement. Because our analysis focused on comparing two neighborhoods in Los Angeles, different factors could shape designation processes in other localized contexts. Still, we have identified lessons with transferability to planning in other cities. Takeaway for practice Planners should more explicitly attend to the potential conflicts between neighborhood-level historic district designation versus broader housing density and affordability goals. We recommend changes to the historic preservation plan-making process that would include explicit considerations of how the designation could affect housing production and rental affordability to more tightly link to the housing element of the general plan and relevant community plans. Incorporating these considerations into the historic district designation process would allow for better balancing of preservation and development goals.

Energy Analysis in the Production of Purple Sweet Potato Crackers

The production process of purple sweet potato (PSP) crackers involves several stages, including peeling, washing, boiling, kneading, grinding, cutting, frying, and packaging. This study aims to analyze the energy flow and production costs associated with each stage of processing sweet potatoes into crackers at the Azizah Crackers Production House in Padang City. The types of energy considered in this study included human labor, fuel gas, electricity, and raw materials (PSP, cooking oil, and supporting materials). Results showed that the total input energy for the production of PSP crackers was 784,629.95 kJ with average output energy of PSP crackers 803,880.00 kJ. The energy output of PSP crackers was 1.02 times the energy input. The cutting and frying activity required the largest input energy of 46.18% (362,310.15 kJ), while packaging activity required the smallest energy of 0.38% (2,992.33 kJ). Based on the energy type, raw materials contribute the largest energy, amounted to 85.83% (674,822.86 kJ), and the smallest type of energy was electrical energy, which was 0.74% (5,839.72 kJ). Keywords: Energy consumption. Energy flow, Production costs, Production process, PSP Crackers.

A Longitudinal Study on Campylobacter spp. in an Integrated Broiler Complex in the Southeast Region of the United States: Prevalence and Phylogenetic Analysis

Poultry meat products are considered the major contributors to Campylobacteriosis in humans. The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence status, critical entry points, and movement patterns of Campylobacter spp. along different stages of an integrated broiler complex. To isolate bacteria and perform phylogenetic analysis, a total of 790 environmental samples were collected from 38 production houses, a hatchery, 6 transport trucks, and a processing plant of a commercial broiler complex. Odds ratio and 95% confidence intervals were compared among different stages and sample types (α = 0.05). Altogether 17% (137/790) of samples and 61% (23/38) of production houses were positive for Campylobacter spp. Similarly, 34% (46/135) of samples were identified as Campylobacter jejuni (C. jejuni), and 61% (83/135) were identified as Campylobacter coli (C. coli). The odds of Campylobacter spp. detection in broiler farms’ surroundings were 4 times (1.88–8.26; 95% CLs) more likely as compared to parent pullets and breeder farms’ surroundings (p = 0.0004). Similarly, among different sample types, the odds of Campylobacter spp. detection in boot swabs and sponge-stick swabs were more likely as compared to fly paper samples (p ≤ 0.0024). In addition, the odds of Campylobacter spp. detection in postpick whole carcass rinses were 4 times (1.99–7.59; 95% CLs) more likely as compared to postchill carcass rinses (p = 0.0004). The phylogeny results of both C. jejuni and C. coli indicate multiple critical entry points of bacterial strains along the chain and suggest the possibility of transmission of Campylobacter spp. from broiler grow-out flocks through transport and to final raw products (29%) in the processing plant. The results indicate potential risks of foodborne infections in consumers from ingestion of contaminated raw or undercooked poultry meat. Therefore, a comprehensive control strategy may be essential to reduce or eliminate Campylobacter spp. or other zoonotic pathogens from the poultry food chain.

Formal processes and informal practices: how policy systems and corruption constrain the delivery of housing in Nigeria

ABSTRACT The delivery of housing is a recognised challenge in many Global South countries due to various institutional logjams within formal systems. This paper delves into formal processes and informal practices in Benin City to investigate how policy systems and corruption constrain the delivery of housing. As Benin City increasingly relies on informal mechanisms, bureaucratic bottlenecks impede progress, and corruption has emerged as a major global issue that hinders housing provision. A qualitative method was adopted, using interviews. The findings illustrate how corrupt practices typify housing delivery in Benin City, leading to inadequate and insufficient houses for residents. Among other recommendations, the paper advocates for adequate and effective supervision and monitoring of official processes geared towards housing production. It also suggests the need for increased transparency and accountability in allocating resources for housing projects. These measures would curb corruption and ensure that residents have access to decent and affordable housing.

Demand-driven wood/bamboo doors: Carbon storage potential and greenhouse gas footprint

Due to large number of doors used housing and construction products, the greenhouse gas (GHG) footprint related to door manufacturing is an interesting topic. Timber and bamboo products can reduce GHG emission due to their biogenic carbon storage via photosynthesis. The scientific evidence on the climate impact using wood-based door (WBD) and bamboo-based door (BBD) to replace steel-based door (SBD) is limited. In this study, life cycle assessments for WBD, BBD, SBD were conducted to evaluate the carbon impacts of raw materials, production, transport, and end-of-life stages. The GHG footprint of WBD, BBD, and SBD ranged from 270.42 to 363.24, 285.31–398.31, and 983.8–986.76 kg CO2 e/m3, respectively, indicating that the bio-based doors exhibited lower energy consumption and GHG emissions. The raw material stage (484.78–569.34 kg CO2 e/m3) was identified as a major source of GHG emissions throughout the product life cycle, while hot-pressing and coating processes were identified as emission hotspots in the production stage. Regarding biogenic carbon storage, the use of bio-based materials instead of steel-based materials for fire door manufacturing significantly reduced emissions. Considering disposal methods, recycling and incineration should be prioritized over landfills. Future research should focus on field survey in raw material stage, along with conducting a technical and economic analysis. The results provide valuable guidance for selecting doors in China in term of biogenic carbon storage and resource protection.
