Ride-Hailing Assignment Problem under Waiting Time Uncertainty using Interval-Valued Fuzzy Quadratic
Get PDFRide-hailing is a creative idea created by transportation supported by science and technology. Ride-hailing services can help daily community activities. The issue with ride-hailing is that traffic conditions are unpredictable, implying that waiting times are uncertain. The time passengers spend waiting from when they book a ride service until the driver arrives at the pick-up location is called waiting time. This study suggests a quadratic programming technique for minimizing waiting time while accounting for the unpredictability of pick-up travel time. The interval-valued fuzzy quadratic programming method handles the uncertainty and imprecision of the anticipated journey time. When allocating drivers to pick up passengers, interval-valued fuzzy numbers can provide a more realistic representation of waiting time uncertainty. As a result, the interval-valued fuzzy quadratic programming model can handle the uncertainty in waiting time for ride-hailing assignment problems. The model\u27s performance is evaluated using waiting time and the number of people served. The model\u27s performance is demonstrated numerically using the simulation-based case study. This study shows how to utilize a mathematical method to solve real-world problems with uncertainty and improve user welfare

Examining the Effect of Bank Health Level towards Stock Return of Commercial Banks in Three-Selected ASEAN Countries
Get PDFToday, various main factors, including the banking sector, support a country\u27s economy. The growth and performance of banks in a country are factors in measuring the country\u27s economic growth. The increasing number of banking stocks traded in ASEAN countries proves banking development. However, since middle-to-low-income countries dominate ASEAN, it opens up a greater risk to the volatility of bank stock returns because of economic turmoil. Non-performing loans (NPL), Good Corporate Governance (GCG), Return on Assets (ROA), and Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR) are found to influence bank stock return in some studies, but other similar studies show the opposite. Therefore, this study uses 28 banks in ASEAN countries as a sample, consisting of 10 Indonesian banks, 8 Malaysian banks, and 10 Thailand banks. Data analysis uses regression analysis with moderated regression analysis (MRA) and discrimination tests. The result shows NPL and GCG have no significant effect on bank stock return, ROA has a positive and significant effect, and CAR has a negative and significant effect. Price to Book Value (PBV) has a positive and significant effect on bank stock return but can only moderate ROA on stock return. The discrimination test shows that ASEAN countries\u27 NPL, GCG, ROA, and CAR differ significantly. Therefore, banks in ASEAN ought to maintain their health through these factors to maximize their stock return

The Effect of Education and Health on Poverty Reduction in Aceh Province, Indonesia: Moderating Role of Special Autonomy Fund
Get PDFAceh is the highest poverty rate among other provinces on Sumatra Island, and this condition has been going on for 20 years (2002-2021). Poverty that lasts a long time can result in the inheritance of poverty to the next generation so that it can give rise to groups of people who are always poor, which bring various problems. To overcome the problem, the central government grants special autonomy funds expected to reduce poverty in Aceh Province by strengthening the education and health sectors. Many previous studies have examined education and health as determinants of poverty. However, there was still limited research using special autonomy funds as a moderating variable. Therefore, the authors are motivated to fill the gap in research related to special autonomy funds as a moderating variable on the effect of education and health on poverty in Aceh Province. This study aims to investigate the role of special autonomy funds in moderating education and health on poverty using panel data for 2010-2021 in 23 districts/cities in Aceh Province, Indonesia. Analysis using MRA concluded that education had no significant effect, while health negatively affected the poverty rate. Furthermore, special autonomy funds are significant in moderating education and health on poverty. So, to reduce poverty, special autonomy funds can focus more on the education and health sectors. It is recommended that the government still utilize special autonomy funds that focus on supporting both programs, increasing public education and health, since special autonomy funds are proven to strengthen the effect of those two sectors in poverty reductio
