This paper aims to contribute to the urgent reflection as a society about environmental protection, in the ultimate challenge that is the sustainable use of energy resources. Since Portugal is at an early stage of market development internally, governmental and local stimulation policies play a central role and are a key element in the successful diffusion of Electric Mobility. The study will focus on the transition of a company car fleet, which currently consists of combustion vehicles, to electric vehicles. With this change it becomes necessary to understand how the electrical installation will be affected due to the installation of charging stations, allowing the company to have some autonomy from the public grid. The various changes resulting from the installation consumption profile will be studied and compared. The state of the art, the level of maturity and where the development of electric mobility in Portugal is heading will also be appreciated.

As the world becomes increasingly interlinked through the Internet, cyberspace frauds are also on the rise. This is a case study on a company, Pyramid Cyber Security (P) Ltd., which specializes in digital crime, fraud and forensic solutions and services in India. Over the years, the company has established several digital forensics laboratories and security projects for agencies in law enforcement, the public sector and corporate organizations. With the scalability, flexibility and economic advantage offered by cloud computing, more and more organizations are moving towards cloud for their applications. With all the benefits of cloud computing, it also opens up a company to the danger of digital crime and security breaches on the cloud platform. This has thrown open new vistas for Pyramid, putting it in a dilemma of whether to focus on the existing business or explore new opportunities in cloud forensics investigation thrown by the wide acceptance of cloud computing. It also poses the question whether a company should go in for pre-incident or post-incident digital network security architecture. It is a teaching case.

This paper investigates the impact of electric vehicles battery charging on the distribution system load if electric vehicles (EVs) are widespread used on roads. Stochastic approach based on a Monte Carlo method is developed in this study to simulate EVs charging load in two cases: 1) normal charge service at home, and 2) quick charge service at public charging stations. To demonstrate the model, a 22-kV distribution system of Pattaya City operated by Provincial Electricity Authority of Thailand (PEA) is employed in the case study. The results indicate the capability of the proposed model to exhibit the impact of EVs charging load on the local distribution system.

Every company must have change the obstacle into an opportunity by applying marketing communication in all situations. Good Marketing Communications be measured from how a company delivers its message to the user. So, the user can well understand and drive the user’s behavior according to the company’s goals. Situations today are a new normal era which an opportunity for restructuration the company by arranging the marketing communications to increase back the traffic of the user after the company has decreased earlier. Other than that, travel trends now is a staycation. This research focuses on Traveloka’s marketing communications when it runs their program “Traveloka Livestyle Hotel Flash Sale” for engage the user to staycation in a new normal era. The theory used is the model and marketing communications mix from the public relations aspect. The research approach used in this research is a  qualitative approach with case study methods. The researcher collects the data techniques by interviews, observation, and literature study. The result of this study indicates that Traveloka’s Engagement by many marketing communication’s ways goes well. So, this program generates enthusiasm and positive feedback from the user shown from their decision making for a staycation in the new normal era.Setiap perusahaan harus dapat mengubah obstacle menjadi sebuah peluang dengan mengaplikasikan komunikasi pemasaran yang tepat sasaran di segala situasinya. Komunikasi pemasaran yang baik dinilai dari bagaimana sebuah perusahaan mengkomunikasikan pesan kepada konsumennya sehingga dapat dipahami dan mengubah perilakunya konsumennya sesuai dengan tujuan perusahaan.

Since the stochasticity of the charging of electric vehicles (EVs) may bring impact to the grid, there is a high possibility that the demand charge will be applied to charging stations. Therefore, a load-forecasting-based demand contracting strategy is proposed for charge stations in this paper. A stochastic optimization model is established by regarding the maximal demand as a stochastic parameter, and the object of the model is to minimize the expectation of demand charge, and the analytic solution is derived. To obtain the distribution of actual maximal demand, a Monte-Carlo-based charge load forecasting method is proposed. It gives the distribution of the daily maximal demand, based on which the distribution of monthly maximal demand is also derived. The case study illustrates the feasibility and the validity of the proposed strategy.

Electric vehicles (EVs), which have become a fundamental part of the automotive industry, were developed as part of concerted worldwide efforts to reduce dependency on fossil fuels due to their devastating effects on the environment. The aim of this study was to analyse a complete trip using an EV from Toronto to Ottawa (Canada) along Ontario’s Highway 401, considering that use of conventional vehicles powered by petrol or diesel allow one to make this trip without stops; using EVs, it is necessary to recharge the vehicle. For this purpose, an algorithm was developed for optimizing recharging stops during a complete trip. In particular, the simulations analysed the number of stops and specifically where it is possible to recharge taking into account the actual charging stations (CSs) located along the trip and the time of recharge during the stops as a function of the state of charge (SoC) of the vehicle. Using this approach, it was possible to evaluate the suitable coverage of the CSs on the stretch considered as well as to assess the main parameters that influence performance on the route.

The need for deploying fast-charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) is becoming essential in recent years. This need is justified by the increasing charging demand and supported by new charging technologies making EV chargers more efficient. In this paper, we provide a survey on EV fast-charging models and introduce a data-driven approach with an optimization model for deploying EV fast-chargers for both electric vehicles and heavy trucks traveling through a network of suburban highways. This deployment aims at satisfying EV charging demands while respecting the limits imposed by the electric grid. We also consider the availability of local photovoltaic (PV) farm and integrate its produced power to the proposed charging network. Finally, through a case study on Paris-Saclay area, we provide locations for EV charging stations and analyze the benefits of integrating PV power at different prices, production costs and charging capacities. The obtained results also suggest potential enhancements to the charging network in order to accommodate the increasing charging demand for EVs in the future.

The success of a company depends on its branding managed human resources. Therefore it is important for the company to pay attention to the image or image attached to the company. This article seeks to find out how employer branding is implemented at the e-commerce company Shopee Indonesia. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach and a case study research method. Data collected from interviews with key informants throughout 2018. The results stated that the application of employer branding in Shopee Indonesia is carried out through a program that refers to the company's vision and mission, personality, and core value. Employer branding program refers to the Employee Value Proposition (EVP) strategy of internal marketing and external marketing. Shopee packages the program through #LifeAtShopee which is run by several departments within Shopee. Employer branding programs at Shopee are not only to attract potential employees and keep employees as company assets, but also to influence Shopee's image in the eyes of the public externally and internally.
