THE INFLUENCE OF SOCIAL ACCESS AND ACCESS TO PUBLIC FACILITIES CHANGES IN CONSUMPTION PATTERNS

The vast territory of Indonesia makes Indonesia rich in various foods. However, the irony is that the distribution of staple foods such as rice does not fully reach remote areas in Indonesia. This resulted in rice prices soaring and difficult to obtain. People don't care and try to switch to rice substitute foods such as bread, noodles, corn and other foods. This study aims to determine what factors influence the change in food habits from rice to non-rice. The research was conducted in Tanjung Pasir Village, Sei Merah Village, Lubuk Kertang Village, which is in Pangkalan Susu District, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra. The research model used is a descriptive quantitative research model. The data analysis used was Stuctural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis assisted by AMOS 20.0 software. The data collection instrument used was a questionnaire instrument. The results of this study indicate that the factors of social access and public facilities influence changes in people's consumption patterns towards non-rice foods. The conclusion is that people in this area are experiencing diversification, changing consumption patterns to non-rice foods. The community prefers to look for food, especially for breakfast, to the stalls to look for non-rice foods such as bread, instant noodles, some corn and cassava. The reasons are: 1) The education factor can change people's food habits because it has an impact on the difficulty of getting a decent job, the quality of life is below standard, one of which is the difficulty to get rice; 2) The location of the market which is far away and difficult to access has resulted in soaring rice prices and this is one of the problems with public facilities; 3) The natural condition of the coast which lacks the availability of clean water and also poor sanitation makes it difficult for housewives to cook food at home.

The utilization of pumpkin as a substitution ingredient for making steam cake to improve organoleptic quality and food acceptance

This finding is expected to provide information regarding the use of pumpkin as a food product, so it can increasing people's consumption of nutritious food.

Loan Default Prediction Based on Convolutional Neural Network and LightGBM

With the change of people's consumption mode, credit consumption has gradually become a new consumption trend. Frequent loan defaults give default prediction more and more attention. This paper proposes a new comprehensive prediction method of loan default. This method combines convolutional neural network and LightGBM algorithm to establish a prediction model. Firstly, the excellent feature extraction ability of convolutional neural network is used to extract features from the original loan data and generate a new feature matrix. Secondly, the new feature matrix is used as input data, and the parameters of LightGBM algorithm are adjusted through grid search so as to build the LightGBM model. Finally, the LightGBM model is trained based on the new feature matrix, and the CNN-LightGBM loan default prediction model is obtained. To verify the effectiveness and superiority of our model, a series of experiments were conducted to compare the proposed prediction model with four classical models. The results show that CNN-LightGBM model is superior to other models in all evaluation indexes.

Internet Development, Consumption Upgrading and Carbon Emissions-An Empirical Study from China.

Internet development has changed Chinese people's consumption behavior, gradually expanding from survival consumption (SC) to development and enjoyment consumption (DEC) trends. Consumption is the new engine driving China's economic growth and the terminal of carbon emissions. Simultaneously, China is undergoing a profound change toward the "double carbon" goal, the space for carbon emission reduction in traditional fields is gradually compressed. Therefore, it is necessary to explore carbon emissions from the perspective of consumption terminals. Based on provincial panel data, we use the fixed effects model and mediating effects model to explore the relationship between Internet development, consumption upgrading, and carbon emissions in a unified research framework. The findings show that: (1) Internet development leads to an increase in carbon emissions. A finding remains significant after using instrumental variables to mitigate endogeneity; (2) Internet development promotes consumption upgrading, reflected in development and enjoyment consumption expenditure; (3) Internet development contributes to increasing carbon emissions through consumption upgrading. Heterogeneity analysis shows that Internet development in eastern China significantly contributes to carbon emissions through consumption upgrading, while it is insignificant in central and western regions. The Internet development leading region contributes to an increase in carbon emissions through consumption upgrading. In comparison, the lagging region is insignificant. This study can provide a reference for policymakers in China or other countries to formulate energy-saving and emission-reduction policies in the Internet industry and provide a scientific basis for advocating people's low-carbon consumption behavior and achieving carbon emission reduction at the consumption terminal.

An improved midpoint rasterization algorithm implemented in FPGA

With the continuous progress of technology and the improvement of people's consumption level, requirements for picture quality are constantly increasing, which has raised the requirements for graphic processing units(GPU) and promoted their development. Among functional modules of GPU, the rasterization module is an important part of GPU. In this paper, we first review the development of rasterization algorithms and analyze their advantages and disadvantages. After that, we improve classical midpoint traversal by adding the idea of tile scanning and improving the parallelism of the algorithm and propose a tile-based multi-parallel midpoint traversal. Then, we implement and verify the proposed algorithm on software and hardware and compare the performance of the proposed algorithm with other algorithms to verify the superiority of the proposed algorithm. Finally, we deploy the improved algorithm in FPGA to verify the feasibility of the hardware.

Food Consumption Pattern in Rural Areas of Bangladesh

The study was conducted to assess the food habit and dietary patterns of rural people in the Bogura district. A total of 37 households were considered as respondents for the study. A specially designed questionnaire was used as a tool for collecting data. The study revealed the rural people's family background, occupation, consumption patterns and average food intake of carbohydrates, protein, oil, fruits and other food items, factors affecting their food selection, and their satisfaction level regarding food under the specific objectives. The interviewees' mean household size was 5.19, whereas most respondents belonged to agricultural households (35.14%). It was found that rice essentially dominated the average daily food intake per person at 422.60 grams making up 52.37% of total food consumption and also constituted the most share of carbohydrate consumption. The respondent also consumes vegetables (185.10g/capita/day) and leafy vegetables (56.67g/capita/day) in moderate amounts but a lesser amount of fruits(35.45g/capita/day). Nutrition and price were the first and second determinants of food choice (16 and 15 of 37 households), and 54.06% of respondents were satisfied with their present food intake. Most households took protein four days a week, with the highest fish consumption (42.05g/capita/day) as of first preference. By conducting more awareness programmes on the importance of balanced food consumption, nutrition, quality food, and homestead gardening by the governmental agencies and non-governmental organizations working in the study area, the present scenario of quality food consumption can be improved.

Analisa Penerapan Integral pada Fungsi Konsumsi dalam Perekonomian di Indonesia

In this study, the author took the title " Analysis of Integral Application of the Consumption Function in the Indonesian Economy". Economics is a science that discusses how a group of people or individuals make choices. An economic science that is often related to everyday life is consumption. One of the important components for assessing the development of the level of economic well-being of the population is the pattern of people's consumption expenditure. In Indonesia, consumption also has a very dominant role in the economy where the contribution of consumption to the Indonesian economy is very large and dominant, which is between 57.7% and 73.9% of Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Keynes' theory of consumption explains the relationship between current income (disposable income) and current consumption. This research is prepared based on the method of literature or literature study through reference books related to the preparation of the research discussed, as well as scientific articles such as journals or conference proceedings related to research problems and objectives. The consumption function in the integral is integral to its marginal consumption and conversely consumption is the first derivative of the consumption function with its integral form. In this case, the integral of the consumption function can be used as a calculation to find out the cost of consumption if there is a marginal desire as well as its income.

Analysis of The Trend of Spotify

With the change in people's music consumption patterns, music streaming media enterprises have attracted more and more attention. Spotify is one of the largest music streaming media enterprises at present, and its rapid development has been attracting attention. As the market becomes increasingly competitive, Spotify's single business model is increasingly limited. Through the combination of qualitative and quantitative research, this paper concludes that the main problems of Spotify's current business model are as follows: firstly, it cannot produce content, and acquiring music playing rights only by buying the copyright of record companies not only consumes a lot of money but also has uncertainties. Second, only relying on a single advertising and subscription fees revenue model has been unable to meet the needs of enterprise management costs. Third, as the competition among music-streaming services intensifies, Spotify must be able to provide users with music that is more satisfying to their tastes. Therefore, to solve these problems in the future, Spotify can focus on creating its own record company, upgrading its algorithm, and developing its own hardware products to enrich its business model.

Study of the Frequency of Paying Wages to Employees in Developing Countries

Wages have long been a central issue of contention between parties in labor relations, but the periodicity of wage payment has not received sufficient attention as a key issue in the wage payment process. The length of the wage payment cycle has a significant impact on both the worker and the employer. It is generally believed that a shorter wage payment cycle can better protect workers' right to be paid for their work, and at the same time, a shorter wage payment cycle can change people's consumption patterns, especially those of low-income earners, and thus improve their quality of life. In developing countries, in addition to finding the delicate balance between free markets and government regulation, the economy needs the efforts of social entrepreneurs.

Who is most at risk of losing out from low-carbon transition in the food and transport sectors in Sweden? Equity considerations from a consumption perspective

The low-carbon transition requires policies and behaviour changes that affect people's consumption habits. However, the impacts of the transition are likely to be experienced unevenly by consumers. Failing to account for these differences puts at risk the prospects of a just transition. This paper investigates the demand-side aspects of a just low-carbon transition, with a focus on the transport and food sectors in Sweden. It combines footprint analysis and sociodemographic and geographic analysis with an assessment of the distributional impacts of low-carbon transition policies from the perspectives of wealth, access, and health. The study finds variations in carbon footprint categories between those with higher or lower income and living in higher or lower density areas. It also finds varying degrees of ability to cope with the required shifts in the food and transport sectors. About 40 % of the Swedish population appears to be at higher risk from the adverse impacts on wealth and access related to policies aiming at low-carbon transition, because this cohort depends heavily on cars and is less able to cope with the increased price of carbon-intensive goods that these policies are expected to entail. The study also finds that, collectively, those most at risk of losing are responsible for 41 % of consumption-based emissions. The paper goes on to discuss implications for low-carbon transition policy measures and transitional assistance policy. Overall, it highlights the need for targeted, well-planned policies for emissions reductions and transitional assistance to support a fair low-carbon transition for all.

"Some are healthy and others not": Characterization of vended food products by Accra-based food retailers.

Increasing the availability of healthy foods within food retail outlets can improve consumers' food environments. Such actions or inactions by food retailers may affect people's food purchasing and consumption behavior. This study explored Accra-based food retailers' perceptions and appreciation of "healthiness of food" as a concept. It also documented measures that food retailers adopt to encourage healthy food choices. In-person semi-structured interviews were conducted with owners and managers of Accra-based supermarkets (n = 7) and corner stores (n = 13) in March 2021. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, coded, and analyzed thematically. The retailers' understanding of healthy food, or lack thereof, is exemplified by such expressions as "health, absence of disease, longevity, balanced diet, diversity, sanitation, and certification." A handful of retailers described what they sell as "products that meet consumer needs," "harmless," or "generally good." Very few retailers described the food they sell as "junk," high in sugar, fat, and salt, or energy-dense but nutrient poor foods, or as food that could pose some health risk to consumers. However, some retailers indicated that they advise their customers against the overconsumption of some foods. Overall, Accra-based retailers have a fair understanding of what constitutes healthy food - exhibiting limited knowledge of the connection between very salty, very sugary, and very fatty foods and health outcomes. Retailers in Accra require interventions that improve their food, health, and nutrition literacy. Improving retailers' food and nutrition literacy may improve the availability of healthier options in food retail outlets in Accra.
