Abstract: Our paper is among the first to measure the potential effect of increase in the price of petroleum vs increase in the sales of electric scooter. With the prices of petrol inching closer to Rs 100 per liter, the demand for battery operated scooters is on the rise as people want to save on fuel cost. As a result, the sale of e-scooters has increased considerably in the city. buyers of two-wheelers are also evincing interest in purchasing e-scooters and making enquiries about vehicles in the local showrooms Okinawa, a large scooter manufacturer in India, recently reported a 30% sales jump in the last quarter alone. The company attributes this largely to the rise in gasoline prices. Without being tied to a pump, electric motorcycle riders are insulated from fluctuating gasoline prices, and can instead “fill up” on much less expensive electricity from any wall outlet.

Many college students travel in public transports or walk a long distance to reach college. This is problematic because public transports can be slow and not available everywhere as they have a specific time of arrival in their stops and they have to halt at multiple places in the city which can make it quite time consuming for passengers to reach their destinations. The goal of our project is to reduce this problem by providing a ride sharing application for institutes. This will be mutually beneficial for the students providing a ride and the students wanting to reach their destination quickly and cheaply as those who bring their own vehicles anyhow have to go to their homes without anyone sharing the ride with them. This will help them to earn money to at least cover their transportation or fuel cost and in-turn help provide a cheap ride to the ones in need. In this paper, we survey the work that deals with various paradigms of ride sharing and coincides with our idea for the application.

Modernisation of apartment houses is a particularly relevant issue both in Lithuania and many other countries. To make it more efficient, the modernisation of apartment houses must be integrated–an entire block or residential area must be renovated and the principles of sustainable development must be followed. This article dwells on the issues related to retrofit planning in residential blocks/areas and analyses the condition of apartment houses and their environment. The article also proposes strategies for retrofit of residential areas with apartment houses. The strategies aim to improve the living standards and the quality of environment, to cut energy consumption and Co2 emissions, to maintain mixed social structure, to integrate new buildings into the existing environment in a sustainable manner, to develop an urban centre of a residential area as a functioning part of the city, to develop democratic planning and to seek close cooperation of modernisation partners. The scenarios based on relevant strategies must define the measures of retrofit, their priority and their potential effect. Santrauka Daugiabučių gyvenamųjų namų modernizavimas šiuo metu yra ypač aktuali problema ne tik Lietuvoje, betir daugelyje kitų šalių.

The issue of increasing the fuel cost effectiveness of passenger commercial vehicles is one of the most important, since the annual increase in the fuel cost leads to an increase in the fixed costs of not only transport companies, but also of small- and medium-sized businesses. Using a hybrid power train (HPT) can reduce fuel consumption in the urban cycle, which is important for commercial vehicles used to deliver goods and passengers within the city limits, especially when megacities are involved, where traffic is heavy and average speeds are not high. The cost of cars with a hybrid power train, such as Toyota Prius, Lexus RX 450h, Ford Fusion Hybrid and others, remains quite high and does not allow to pay back the car only due to fuel economy. On the other hand, the configuration of these vehicles does not allow them to be used as a commercial vehicle for transporting small loads and passengers, Therefore, it is proposed to consider the option of converting a car with a gasoline engine and calculate the possible fuel economy.

Rainfall is a common phenomenon in tropical forests influencing the behavior of many animals, however, little is known about its post-occurrence effect on behavior. We investigated the effect of diurnal rainfall on the nocturnal activity of the wandering spider species Phoneutria reidyi in nights without rainfall. Our study included two different areas and periods: a coconut plantation, located 108 km from the city of Manaus, containing an area of 80 m x 80 m with 105 palms, from July 2014 to July 2015; and an area of 80 m x 80 m in a rainforest fragment in Manaus, from December 2015 to March 2016. Each night, we counted active spiders (found outside refugees) searching carefully on the vegetation and on the ground using a headlamp between 19:00-00:00. Spiders were not captured to avoid the effect of disturbance, and were measured by approaching a caliper rule. We used an index to measure the diurnal rainfall effect (DRE) which was the percentage of change in the number of active spiders at night after a diurnal rainfall, considering 100 % the number of spiders active at the previous or following night, without previous rainfall during the day. This pairwise approach was used to avoid seasonal bias and included 15 pairs of nights in the plantation, and 15 pairs in the forest. A total of 2 243 active spiders were counted. The number of active spiders was always smaller in nights after diurnal rainfall, with a mean reduction of 53.4 %. The abundance of active spiders reduced significantly in both areas after a diurnal rainfall, and the effect was not different between areas. Larger spiders (mostly adults) reduced their activity (-62.8 %) more than smaller spiders (juveniles, -48.5 %). The amount of rainfall during the day had no effect on the nocturnal activity, i.e., the effect of strong diurnal rainfall is similar to the effect of a weak rainfall. The air temperature did not change significantly at night after diurnal rainfalls. The seasonality of rainfall apparently has a weak or absent effect on the abundance of P. reidyi, which was approximately constant through one year. We believe that the moisture, which may affect the chemical cues of prey, is the major cause to reduce the active spiders after rainfall, but we discuss other potential causes. Smaller individuals are probably more active under less favorable conditions due to the stronger need of food for growing. If this effect of rainfall on the behavior is common for wandering spiders in general, the rainfall events may have important consequences for the entire community of arthropods and small vertebrates. We suggest that studies based on relative abundance of spiders should take in account this potential effect in collection and analysis of data.

Background and Purpose— Evidence on the effects of coarse particulate matter (PM 10–2.5 ) on ischemic stroke is limited and inconsistent. We evaluated the acute effects of PM 10–2.5 exposure on hospital admissions for ischemic stroke in China. Methods— We conducted a national time-series analysis of associations between daily PM 10–2.5 concentrations and daily hospital admissions for ischemic stroke in China between January 2014 and December 2016. Hospital admissions for ischemic stroke were identified from the database of Urban Employee Basic Medical Insurance, which contains data from 0.28 billion beneficiaries. We applied a city-specific Poisson regression to examine the associations of PM 10–2.5 and daily ischemic stroke admissions. We combined the city-specific effect estimates with a random effects meta-analysis, and further evaluated the exposure-response relationship curve and potential effect modifiers. Results— We identified >2 million hospital admissions for ischemic stroke in 172 Chinese cities. A 10 μg/m 3 increase in PM 10–2.5 concentrations (lag day 0) was associated with a 0.91% (95% CI, 0.73–1.10) increase in hospital admissions for ischemic stroke. The association remained significant after adjusting for PM 2.5 (percentage change, 0.96%; 95% CI, 0.75–1.18). The exposure-response relationship was approximately linear, with a moderate response at lower levels (<200 μg/m 3 ) and a steeper response at higher levels. The association was stronger in cities with lower PM 10–2.5 concentrations, higher temperatures, or higher relative humidity. Conclusions— This nationwide study provides robust evidence of the short-term association between exposure to PM 10–2.5 and increased hospital admissions for ischemic stroke and supports the hypothesis that the association differs by city characteristics.

ABSTRACT Background. Obesity is regarded as the most common disease of affluence, gradually getting an epidemic status. Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the frequency of consumption of selected food products among the patients qualified for bariatric surgery, together with the analysis of the potential effect of the diet on the development of obesity in examined group of people. Material and Methods. The study involved 57 patients qualified for bariatric treatment of obesity. A standardized food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) was used and anthropometric measurements were performed. Results. In examined group of people, along with increasing BMI, the frequency of cheeses consumption decreased, whereas the frequency of consumption of vegetable and fruit - vegetable juices increased. In addition to that, it was observed that with higher frequency of consumption of animal fat (lard, bacon) and beer, the value of WHR increased, whereas the frequency of consumption of dairy products was in direct proportion to body weight of examined people. It was also noted that people living in the country consumed fruits and potatoes significantly more often than people living in the city, and that people with higher education significantly more often ate coarse grits, high quality meats and fatty fish, as compared to people with vocational training. Conclusions. Inappropriate selection of food products and numerous dietary mistakes made by the patients directly contributed to the development of extreme obesity. The patients prepared for bariatric surgery should receive a dietician support during the preparation for the procedure and afterwards, later in life, in order to maintain a reduced body weight after the surgery.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
