Scottish ferry policy
No full textThe purpose of this paper is to review the evolution of Scottish policy for the provision of ferry services 1999-2009, a period broadly coinciding with the life of the re-established Scottish parliament. We shall argue that, despite clear and consistent warnings by this author and others, the government failed to put in place measures and safeguards that were regarded as standard practice for such an industry providing essential services
Peak Car and Beyond: The Fourth Era of Travel
No full textThere is emerging evidence that personal daily travel, particularly by car, has ceased to grow in the developed economies. This can be attributed to saturation of demand, given high levels of access and choice now widely available, together with constraints on higher speeds. We are therefore at a time of transition from an era of growth of per capita travel to an era of stability, in which the future factors determining the growth of total travel demand are demographic — population growth, increasing longevity, and urbanisation. The peak car phenomenon, which marks this transition, is seen in successful cities that attract a growing population whose travel needs are increasingly met by investment in rail-based transport, the revival of which is a characteristic of the new era

Pengembangan Alat Peraga Papan Translasi Bandara (Paras Band) Pada Materi Geometri Transformasi Dengan Pendekatan Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) Di Kelas XI SMK
No full textThe development of science and technology has entered the world of Education. One impact is props with the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach. The purpose of this study was to develop teaching aids using the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) approach to transformation geometry material with sub translation material in class XI of SMK Muhammadiyah 3 Gemolong. After development, the teaching aids are tested for validity and eligibility by material experts, media experts, mathematics learning practitioners and students. This research uses the Research and Development (R&D) method. In this development there are 6 stages including the analysis phase, the planning stage, the development stage, the verification stage, the validation stage, and the final stage with the name Paras Band. It was concluded that the developed teaching aids are feasible to be used as a medium of mathematics learning in the Geometry material Transformation of sub translation material based on expert validation and student responses. The results of the validation by media experts showed that the developed media was very decent with an average score of 3.52. The results of the validation by the material experts showed that the media developed were very feasible with an average score of 3.20. The results of the validation by the mathematics learning practitioner showed that the media developed were feasible with an average score of 3.00. And the results of student responses indicate that the developed media is feasible with an average score of 3.65

A launch strategy to increase awareness and availability of MakaPads in rural Uganda
No full textGirls and women in Uganda lack Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) information, and proper tools and facilities to manage their periods. There are different methods that girls in rural areas use to manage their menstruation such as cloths or pads. This project focuses on menstrual pads as they are hygienic, absorbent, and comfortable. Therefore, pads enable girls to have a better experience during their period. Girls who live in rural areas of Uganda are the main users this project focuses on. Older women in rural areas are considered as the target consumers who purchase the pads.Currently, the women who live in rural areas of Uganda only have access to the commercial expensive pad brands. Therefore there is a need of affordable menstrual pads to be accessible in the villages. MakaPads produces affordable menstrual pads. However some years ago they lost their biggest client who was doing the distribution of the product and they were left to rethink their distribution strategy. Presently, MakaPads wants to change their strategy from B2B to B2C and therefore, distribute the pads directly to the end consumer in the rural areas of Uganda.Thus, the goal of the project is to design a launch strategy for MakaPads to increase the availability and accessibility of menstrual pads for women and girls in rural areas of Uganda. The project was scoped using the framework of the four A’s of marketing: Acceptability, Awareness, Availability and Affordability. Acceptability and Affordability were left out of the scope. Awareness and Availability were subdivided after desk research and context interviews were conducted. Awareness subdivisions were MHM communication and product communication, and Availability was subdivided into information distribution and product distribution.Interviews were conducted in Uganda and a workshop was performed with the MakaPads team to decide on the direction of the project. The project findings brought key partnerships with opinion leaders in the villages and added crucial consumer groups for the company. By adding these two stakeholders, MakaPads can increase their reach in the villages using less resources. The strategy created is designed for MakaPads to establish in new markets and replicate in rural villages of Uganda. Finally, communication directions were created to increase MHM and product knowledge in the communities of rural Uganda.Strategic Product Desig
Analysis of a Data Processing Pipeline for Generating Knowledge Graphs from Unstructured Data: Data Processing Pipeline for Knowledge Graphs
No full textWith the rapid growth of unstructured data across different mediums, it exposes new challenges for its analysis. To overcome this, data processing pipelines are designed with the help of different tools and technologies for the analysis of data at different stages. One of the applications which we find useful for our company is the creation of knowledge graphs for better representation and understanding of relations in the data. Knowledge graph is a structure of representing information where nodes represent the entities and edges define the relationships among them. The construction of a knowledge graph is a process of extracting meaningful information of entities and relations from unstructured textual data and storing it in a graph database. In this project, we are using Neo4j as a graph database for the efficient storage of data in the form of nodes and relations. To achieve this goal, our first research question proposes the architecture and implementation of a data processing pipeline for the construction of knowledge graphs using unstructured textual data. There are three major stages involved in our pipeline and each component is implemented in a microservice architecture. The first stage starts with the parsing of textual documents in two different formats which are PDF and PPT. In the second stage, we are applying natural language processing techniques for the extraction of meaningful information out of this raw text. In the final stage, key pieces of data are stored into a graph database(Neo4j) for the construction of knowledge graphs. We are running our pipeline on a local machine for evaluating the performance and results of each component. The core aspect of retrieving insights from this unstructured data is achieved with the use of natural language processing. In order to investigate more on this component, our second research question examines the cloud based natural language processing services from three renowned providers which are Amazon, Google and IBM. For choosing a suitable service among them, we evaluate their performance on a common data set of category Marketing from wikipedia. Based on our experimental analysis, IBM stands out among them from the perspective of the quality of output, execution time, features and cost. The adoption of a cloud based service not only leads to a faster development of business solutions but also reduces the engineering effort, its cost and maintenance of our custom implementation only with a little cost per our usage.EIT Digital Double Degree ProgrammeComputer Scienc
