The important role of goods and human transport modes that connect from one place to another is public transportation, because public transport plays an important role in the world economy of society. Public transportation must provide fast, safe, comfortable, efficient and inexpensive services because good service is very influential for users of transportation services. In addition, in the world of transportation and public transportation tariffs are a matter of considerable consideration, because the determination of tariffs for public transport is a very interesting matter to be studied extensively so as not to cause losses between providers and users of public transport services. Determination of dance transport requires special treatment to react to it, therefore the determination of tariffs by analyzing based on Vehicle Operating Costs with primary and secondary data obtained directly from the field and companies from service providers, namely from Royal Safari Otomotif Company at a price of Rp. 1,350,000,000, - / bus. From analyzing based on Vehicle Operating Costs, it is expected to be able to provide benefits to providers and service users. The results of this data analysis Bus at a price of Rp. 1.350.000.000, - / bus shows that the public transport tariff based on Vehicle Operating Costs obtained is Rp.942,471,848.57, - per year or Rp.148.19, - per km-seat. Using the assumption of a 70% load factor of Rp.211.69, - per km-seat or basic tariff of Rp.22,439.14, - per seat with a distance of 106 km (Terboyo Semarang - Tirtonadi Solo). Taking into account the 30% profit for entrepreneurs on the Semarang - Tirtonadi Solo Terboyo route, the tariffs from the current analysis of vehicle operational costs with bus vehicles (in 2017) are Rp. 30,000, - per seat with a distance of 106 km. Bus Vehicle Public Transport Business from Otomotif Company. The Royal Safari is feasible to run because PBP &lt;economic age of the bus, because by using the Payback Period method (PBP) time period (period) needed for the return of the initial capital of the business is for 4 years &lt;7 years old bus economy.</em></p><p><em> </em></p><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Transportasi merupakan suatu sistem prasara/sarana penunjang aktivitas masyarakat/penduduk untuk kegiatan perekonomian. Peran penting moda transportasi angkut barang dan manusia yang menghubungkan dari satu tempat ke tempat lain adalah angkutan umum, karena angkutan umum sangat berperan penting dalam dunia perekonomian masyarakat. Manusia dalam melakukan aktifitasnya dan pergerakan perlu interaksi satu dengan lain, yang memerlukan alat penghubung yaitu angkutan. Angkutan umum harus memberikan pelayanan cepat, aman, nyaman, efiesien dan murah karena pelayanan yang baik sangat berpengaruh terhadap pengguna jasa angkutan. Selain itu dalam dunia transportasi dan angkutan umum tariff menjadi hal sangat dipertimbangkan, karena penentuan tariff angkutan umum merupakan suatu hal yang sangat menarik untuk dikaji secara luas agar tidak menimbulkan kerugian antara penyedia dan pengguna jasa angkutan umum. Penentuan tariif angkutan umum memerlukan perlakuan istimewa untuk menyikapinya, maka dari itu penentuan tariff dengan cara menganalisis berdasarkan BOK ( Biaya Operasional Kendaraan ) dengan data primer dan skunder yang diperoleh langsung dari lapangan dan perusahaan dari penyedia jasa yaitu dari PO Royal Safari dengan harga Rp. 1.350.000.000,-/bus. Dari menganalisis berdasarkan BOK (Biaya Operasional Kendaraan) diharapkan dapat memeberikan keuntungan bagi penyedia dan pengguna jasa.

AbstractCOVID-19 has crippled the world’s healthcare systems, setting back the economy and taking the lives of several people. Although potential vaccines are being tested and supplied around the world, it will take a long time to reach every human being, more so with new variants of the virus emerging, enforcing a lockdown-like situation on parts of the world. Thus, there is a dire need for early and accurate detection of COVID-19 to prevent the spread of the disease, even more. The current gold-standard RT-PCR test is only 71% sensitive and is a laborious test to perform, leading to the incapability of conducting the population-wide screening. To this end, in this paper, we propose an automated COVID-19 detection system that uses CT-scan images of the lungs for classifying the same into COVID and Non-COVID cases. The proposed method applies an ensemble strategy that generates fuzzy ranks of the base classification models using the Gompertz function and fuses the decision scores of the base models adaptively to make the final predictions on the test cases. Three transfer learning-based convolutional neural network models are used, namely VGG-11, Wide ResNet-50-2, and Inception v3, to generate the decision scores to be fused by the proposed ensemble model. The framework has been evaluated on two publicly available chest CT scan datasets achieving state-of-the-art performance, justifying the reliability of the model.

The number of consumers with green awareness have grown these days and as a result they have turned to purchase eco-friendly products. For this reason, this study aims to propose a method for eco-design based on the anticipatory failure determination method to develop eco-design products. By using eco-design concepts adopted from the World Business Council for Sustainable Development, the process will limit the failures and issues related to environmental impact in product design. The proposed method for eco-design product in this study follows the following procedure. First, we analyze product failure. Second, we propose the determination of the non-green phenomenon of the failure. Thirdly, we integrate the intensified non-green phenomenon to generate non-green hypotheses and fourthly, we eliminate each non-green phenomenon hypothesis by introducing the contradiction matrix of TRIZ for obtaining solutions. Finally, we assess alternative eco-design solutions by evaluation. To verify the practicality of the new procedure, a washing machine is used as an example for illustration.
