Marketing Concepts of New Housing Projects in Surabaya during Pandemic based on Property Agent Perspective

The increasing demand and needs of consumers in property transactions makes the need for property agents even greater. In a pandemic condition that limits direct interaction, many housing developers have difficulty selling their housing products due to limited interaction with potential consumers and the lack of up-to-date information on housing products that consumers are interested in during this pandemic. The purpose of this study was to analyze the factors and sequence of criteria that became the basis for selecting new housing during the pandemic based on the perspective of a property agent.This study uses qualitative and quantitative research using interview data and processed into numerical data using product, price, promotion, place, and person variables. The method used is the Delphi method, AHP and Content Analysis, with the Delphi method useful for determining criteria and indicators that are validated from experts and AHP functioning as a weight for the validated criteria. While Content Analysis is used to formulate concepts.The results of this study obtained a sequence of variables that affect Product, (2) Place, (3) Price, (4) Promotion, (5) People.

Kriteria Prioritas Pemilihan Teknologi Pengolahan Limbah Cair Industri Tempe

The location of tempe processing adjacent to the settlement causes 
 problems. The resulting liquid waste makes people uncomfortable. This 
 is presumably because the liquid waste has not been managed properly, 
 because it is only dumped into the drainage channel. The majority of 
 tempe industrial entrepreneurs are home industries who are not aware of creating a healthy environment by paying attention to liquid waste 
 processing. There are many studies on technology for the tempe 
 industrial wastewater problem, but each technology has advantages and 
 disadvantages. It is necessary to have a system to choose the technology 
 that suits the waste conditions. This research takes a case study in 
 Karanganyar Regency. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method 
 is a method of determining priority scale that can accommodate all 
 aspects. Furthermore, a sequence of criteria can be arranged as needed. 
 The results of the analysis with AHP are: technology criteria 31.09%; 
 environment 28.65%; economic 21.74% and social 18.53%. 
 Environmental sub-criteria showed the results of the removal of 
 ammonia 40.56%; treated water quality 30.74%; the amount of mud is 
 18.91% and the emission level is 9.80%. Technology sub-criteria are 
 ease of operation 28.67%; land area requirement 28.56%; service life of 
 28.05% and the potential of technology in the midification of 14.72%.
 Economic sub-criteria with the results of operating costs 34.21%; 
 installation cost 33.28%; maintenance costs 23.78% and HR costs 
 8.73%. Social sub-criteria with the results of the need for employment of 49.10%; readiness of human resources 19.33%; implementation of 
 construction 16.74% and aesthetics 14.82%. The results of the AHP can 
 be used as input for tempe entrepreneurs, the government and the 
 community to improve the environmental quality of the tempe industrial wastewater. It is hoped that entrepreneurs will find it easier to determine the appropriate technology to treat the tempe industrial liquid waste.

Determining the priority of new road development according to the West Sumatera provincial government perception

The West Sumatra provincial government has prioritized the development of ten provincial road in order to improve community welfare. With budget constraints, an analysis is needed to determine development priorities for the road, so that the budget can be used appropriately. This study aims to determine the criteria, the sequence of criteria and the priority sequence of roads for the development of new roads in West Sumatera province. The criteria were obtained from a preliminary study. While the sequence of criteria were obtained by using the Priority Criterion method, and the priority sequence of road were obtained by using the Prioritization Matrix method. From this study, there were twelve criteria that influence the development of new roads in West Sumatera Province, with the main criteria “Roads built will support access to local production and trade”, and the final criteria “Roads built will facilitate access to social/cultural communities”. From the twelve criteria, it was concluded that the main priority road was the Pasar Baru - AlahanPanjang road. The results of this study can be a reference for decision-makers in determining the priority of road development in the PUPR Department of West Sumatera Province.

The Development and Promotion of the Inland Areas of the Metropolitan City of Reggio Calabria through the Enhancement and Restoration of the Calabro-lucane Railway Line – The Greenway Project, Train-hotel and Valorization of Former Railway Stations

The idea of recovery of a railroad section of the Calabro-Lucane railways is based on trying to reuse neglected and now useless structure, with the intent to promote a railroad which is the identity of the local communities. The main objective is the re-appropriation by the community of its cultural heritage in order to support sustainable processes of endogenous growth and improve the quality of life in rural areas. The paper, using a multidisciplinary approach, hypothesizes the possibility of the railway enhancement. Choosing among alternatives by proceeding lexicographically through a sequence of criteria is a common description of practical decision-making.

La influencia de la voluntad popular sobre la interpretación constitucional judicial en Venezuela: ¿Abuso de los conceptos jurídicos indeterminados?

La asunción de un nuevo concepto en los procesos interpretativos asumidos desde 1999 por el Tribunal Supremo de Justicia en su Sala Constitucional, han construido en Venezuela una secuencia de criterios sobre los cuales, todos los jueces constitucionales, deben atender el llamado de la voluntad popular como norte hermenéutico en todas las áreas de los saberes jurídicos. Esta interpretación popular constitucional, ha cincelado un discurso judicial alternativo que confronta con la lógica y la tradición jurídica occidental, permeando categorías y definiciones que poco o nada se configuran dentro del vocabulario o la teoría del Derecho. En 2007, con la fallida reforma constitucional, se trató de imponer como directriz interpretativa la supremacía popular. Sin embargo, en los 48 decretos-leyes presidenciales de 2008, se impuso el concepto de “interés público” como anclaje hermenéutico dirigido al juez constitucional, y por ende, mixtificando la esencia misma de la técnica de los “conceptos jurídicos indeterminados”.

Rational agents are the quickest

Suppose an agent chooses by proceeding through a sequence of criteria: for any pair of alternatives the first criterion that ranks the pair determines the agent's choice. Given any constraint on the capacity of the criteria to discriminate, choices that maximize complete and transitive preferences are always the outcome of a ‘quick’ sequence that uses the minimum number of criteria. For any irrational preference on the other hand there is always a discrimination constraint such that the preference is not the outcome of a quick sequence. When an agent uses attributes to form criteria and each attribute is rationally ordered, a quick sequence that leads to rational preferences necessarily arises.

Effect of HFACS and Non-HFACS-Related Factors on Fatalities in General Aviation Accidents Using Neural Networks

This study applied a backpropagation artificial neural network approach to investigate both the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System (HFACS)-related unsafe act tiers of factors and other non-HFACS factors in an attempt to recognize patterns for general aviation accident fatalities. Data were obtained from the HFACS database and extracted from the National Transportation Safety Board database from 1990 to 2002. Multiple neural network models were created and the best fit model was selected based on a sequence of criteria. A sensitivity analysis was performed on the validated model to rank the factors that lead to general aviation fatalities. Results are discussed and practical implications are given.

A Rate-Compatible Puncturing Scheme for Finite-Length LDPC Codes

In this paper, we propose a rate-compatible puncturing scheme for finite-length low-density parity-check (LDPC) codes over the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. The proposed method is applicable to any LDPC mother code, both regular and irregular, and constructs punctured codes which perform well in both the waterfall and the error floor regions for a wide range of code rates. The scheme selects code bits to be punctured one at a time and based on a sequence of criteria. An important selection criterion is the number of short cycles with low approximate cycle extrinsic message degree (ACE) in which a candidate bit node participates. Simulation results demonstrate that the ACE measure, which is most often the determining criterion in the final selection of the puncturing candidates, plays an important role in improving the performance of the codes in both the waterfall and the error-floor regions. These results also demonstrate that the proposed scheme is superior to the existing puncturing methods, particularly when a wide range of code rates is desirable.

Analyzing Students’ Cognitive Load to Prioritize English Public Speaking Training

This paper applies the Hierarchy Grey Relational Analysis (HGRA) for data analysis obtained from the EFL students’ cognitive load in English public speaking. Thirty-one EFL students in a class of English Presentation Training participated in the experiment and the teacher familiarized them with nine criteria of abilities in public speaking training. The participants were then asked to reflect on their own confidences in the same criteria. A framework employing HGRA was developed to analyze the data. The results show that from the easiest to the most difficult, the cognitive confidence in sequence of the participants is S(21)→S(27)→S(25)→S(16)→S(12),…,→S(2), and in sequenc eof criteria is C(1) Posture→C(5) Preparing effective visual aids→C(2) Eye contact→C(3) Gestures→C(6) Explaining visual aids→C(4) Voice variation→C(9) Closing the speech→C(7) Opening the speech→C(8) Organizing & outlining the speech body. Based on the findings, in order to tailor to students’ cognitive load for best training results, the teacher should start from easier, more concrete techniques such as motor skills and preparing effective visual aids, and finally proceed to the abstract, logical organization of the main points. Additionally, the teacher can even offer differentiated practices to those whose cognitive load level in speech skills are different.

The Lexicographic Method in Preference Theory

Choosing among alternatives by proceeding lexicographically through a sequence of criteria is a common description of practical decision-making. This paper uses these sequences as a theoretical tool. First, we show that there are sequences of criteria that form reasonable decision-making procedures but that lead to preferences whose utility representations are monotone injections from ℝⁿ into ℝ and that enjoy a fractal or self-similarity property. Second, sequences of binary criteria provide a uniform measure of how concisely a preference can be represented. This measure leads to plausible conclusions about which preferences are easy to represent that differ from the longstanding tradition of simply checking if a preference has a utility representation. Finally, we generalize the classical result that preferences with a countable order-dense subset have utility representations and provide simple proofs of the extension theorems that show that strict partial orders can be extended to complete or linear orders.

Rational Agents are the Quickest

Suppose an agent chooses by proceeding through a sequence of criteria: for any pair of alternatives the first criterion that ranks the pair determines the agent's choice. Given any constraint on the capacity of the criteria to discriminate, choices that maximize complete and transitive preferences are always the outcome of a 'quick' sequence that uses the minimum number of criteria. For any irrational preference on the other hand there is always a discrimination constraint such that the preference is not the outcome of a quick sequence. When an agent uses attributes to form criteria and each attribute is rationally ordered, a quick sequence that leads to rational preferences necessarily arises.

Evaluation of operational failures in clinical decision making.

Medical decision analysts are interested in the changes in health benefits from inappropriate ordering of tests, imperfect information from tests, and imperfect results of treatments. Operational failures in the decision-making sequence, caused by human and system factors, may also alter health benefits. An evaluation of operational failures in follow-up of positive urine cultures in pediatric patients is reported. Branching criteria were developed by physician representatives from each of eight pediatric group practices to evaluate the care of patients aged 6 months to 16 years, inclusive. Of 858 cases evaluated, 52 percent failed at one or more nodes in the criteria sequence. Rates of failure at individual nodes among cases reaching these nodes varied from 2 percent to 48 percent. Like those of other researchers, our findings suggest that decision analyses that do not take operational failures into consideration may inaccurately predict the yield of health benefits achieved in actual practice.

A dendrogram of plant viruses

To facilitate the recognition of plant viruses with similar characteristics a dendrogram of characterized viruses was constructed. The sequence of criteria included: type of nucleic acid; single or double stranded; presence or absence of lipid envelope; helical or nonhelical symmetry; and divided or single genome. Nonhelical RNA viruses with divided genomes were further divided into viruses with one or more than one capsid size. Those with one capsid size were subdivided into viruses with one or more than one sedimenting component. Nonhelical RNA viruses with a single genome were divided according to their RNA size, and their sensitivity to sodium dodecyl sulfate and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid.
