Do Social Capital Have Impact on Willingness to Pay for Waste Management? Evidence from Contingent Valuation Studies
Full text linkThis study looks at the connection between people’s willingness to pay (WTP) for waste management services anf their social capital. The research utilitizes a linier regression model to examine the relationship between social capital and people’ desire to interact, making use of contigent valiation, a technique useful for assessing financial prices and preferences for non-market environmental assets. With an average WTP of IDR 17,000 (USD 1,09), the result show that 58.2% of the community is willing to pay for garbage management. The study finds a positive correlation between social capital and WTP, suggesting that strong community bonds, high levels of trust, and external family connections enhance the likelihood of supporting sustainable waste management initiatives. In addition to sociodemographic traits, the WTP's ability to manage waste is also impacted. Legislators and waste management experts should take note of these findings, which emphasize the need of fostering social capital to boost public involvement and support for sustainable waste management projects. Building trust, promoting community involvement, and establishing shared environmental principles can all contribute to the development of an environment that is conducive to effective waste management techniques. This study contributes to the expanding body of information about the socioeconomic drivers of waste management practices by highlighting the crucial role that social capital plays in creating WTP for waste management solutions
Using the Capabilities of the AutoCAD Program to Solve Metric and Position Issues
Full text linkThe article proposes to “compare” the solution of metric and positional problems in engineering graphics, that is, to perform it in practice with the help of computer programs after doing it manually based on theoretical knowledge. Theoretical knowledge teaches how to read drawings, how to imagine objects spatially depending on their representation, what operations are necessary to solve the problem, and introduces the laws and rules. Computer graphic programs, on the other hand, ensure that the drawings are done quickly, cleanly and accurately
Analysis of Real-Time Video for the Detection of Fire Using OpenCV
Full text linkBecause of the wide range of colours and textures present in visual landscapes, fire detection is a challenging undertaking. To get over this issue, several fire image categorization methods have been suggested; nevertheless, the majority of these systems depend on rule-based methods or characteristics that are manually created. Develop and propose an innovative technique for fire picture detection using deep convolution neural networks. Adaptive piece-wise linear units are utilised in the network's hidden layers in place of conventional rectified linear units or tangent functions. In addition, we will generate a fresh, compact dataset of fire photos to use for model training and evaluation. Increasing the amount of training images available through the use of conventional data augmentation methods and generative adversarial networks helps alleviate the overfitting issue that arises from training the network on a small dataset. In this study, we compare and contrast two methods for measuring the geometrical features of wildland fires: one that uses image processing to identify colours, and the other that uses Mk2ethods. Presented here are two novel rules and two novel detection methods that make use of an intelligent combination of the rules; their respective performances are then evaluated. About 270 million non-fire pixels and 200 million fire pixels taken from 500 wild terrain photos taken under different imaging conditions are used to run the benchmark. Color and presence of fire are used to classify pixels as fire, whereas average intensity of the associated image is used to classify pixels as non-fire. Because of this, the future of Metrologic systems for detecting fires in unstructured environments looks bright thanks to this technology

The results suggest that integrating PBL into the curriculum can activate cognitive processes, enhance creative thinking, and promote teamwork. These implications highlight the potential of PBL as a transformative educational strategy in developing essential algorithmic skills in students
Using Time-Driven Activity-Based Costing (TDABC) to Rationalize Hotel Service Costs
Full text linkIn our world, the number of hotels that provide entertainment and tourism services is increasing, and most hotels are in fierce competition with each other. In order to prepare accurate data on the cost of the guest during his stay, a new method of cost accounting has been developed to keep pace with fierce competition and rapid technological progress. This method is represented by the method of cost accounting based on time-driven activities (TDABC). Its main objective is to test the impact of applying the cost system based on time-specific activities in rationalizing the costs of hotel services. The theoretical aspect showed the concept of this system, its advantages, criticisms and the components directed at it. The study adopted the case study method at the Agnar Tourist Hotel. It is a five-star hotel and the ability of the hotel employees to provide all the information necessary to develop the cost system used in the hotel. In order to prepare the research for the practical aspect, the researcher relied on the accounting data in the hotel records, the research sample and personal interviews with the hotel employees. The study was conducted in 2018. The study concluded that the hotel management can rely on the data issued by the time-driven activity-based costing (TDABC) system. The use of this system in the hotel distinguishes between practical energy and achievable energy. Because the cost of the guest is calculated in the system by estimating the practical energy of each of the activities carried out in the hotel

The Effect of E-Services Quality and Security on Customer Satisfaction and Loyalty in Small and Medium-Sized Hotels
Full text linkThe hotel industry is critical to Jordan's economy, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises that provide affordable and convenient lodging for visitors and business travellers Hotels often lack the financial capacity to invest in technology comparable to that of larger establishments, resulting in a disparity between client expectations and actual service provision. This disparity may result in customer unhappiness and a diminished probability of repeat patronage, endangering the long-term viability of these enterprises. Consequently, investigating the influence of e-service quality on fostering client loyalty via satisfaction in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMHs) is essential for comprehending how small organizations can effectively utilize constrained resources to fulfill and surpass consumer expectations. This study seeks to address significant research deficiencies in the SMH sector. This heightened satisfaction affects subsequent behaviors, including the likelihood of repurchase and total consumer allegiance. When performance fails to meet expectations, dissatisfaction emerges, often resulting in negative word-of-mouth or a decrease in repurchase intentions. Expectation-Confirmation Theory offers a robust paradigm for examining the correlation between e-service quality and client loyalty, mediated by customer satisfaction. The application of Jordanian SMHs offers a robust theoretical basis for examining the correlation between digital service quality and customer loyalty. This study aims to address a significant vacuum in the literature by applying ECT to this particular sector, providing valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners in the hotel industry. The results will furnish explicit recommendations for SMHs to enhance their digital services, elevate client pleasure, and ultimately foster greater customer loyalty in a fiercely competitive sector
