In this paper is presented an algorithm for the power management of a smart home with electric vehicle and photovoltaic panels. The case study is performed considering the power demand of the household appliances, the charging/discharging of the electric vehicle, and the power supplied by the photovoltaic panels. The photovoltaic panels have a small installed power and benefit from the support scheme from the government for these types of generation sources, so it is a prosumer. The simulation is performed for a day. Additionally, the cost of power supplied to the consumer is also analyzed.

One of the most important issues in various energy issues is to decrease fossil fuel energy usage and promote renewable energies in developing countries. Iran as a developing country began exploiting renewable resources from the early 1990s. This paper investigates the financial viability of renewable energy technologies in Kerman, which is located in the hot and dry parts of Iran and has a high potential of solar and wind energy. First the potential for solar and wind energy sources are studied and afterwards through two quantitative methods, the cost of this implementation is compared to the benefits gained. The results prove that without a massive financial support by the government, renewable energies would not be economically feasible to be implemented into private households.

In Malaysian Eleventh Plan 2016-2020, tourism is one of the service sectors given priority by the government. It is claimed that the increase in tourist arrivals help to support the deficit reduction in service sector by contributing to the growth of the nation. Furthermore, the quick growth of tourism in Southeast Asia, as a result of amongst others attractive sandy beaches and nature, beach resorts have been on the receiving end of attention and focus by the tourists. However, prior studies claimed that these resorts were not properly managed and further actions need to be taken to ensure its sustainability. Thus, this case study aims to examine performance management of a beach resort in ensuring its sustainability. Specifically, this study explores the cost saving strategies adopted by this resort through its 25 years of operation. This resort is located on an island in Terengganu. The resort owner and employees were interviewed. The interview results appear to indicate that various strategies were implemented by the resort to manage their performance and ensure its sustainability in the business. Family members hold important positions in the resort to ensure the smooth running of the operation. Cost saving activities and smart business arrangements were made with suppliers to reduce its outflows.

Naara-Aaba is an indigenous wine innovated by a woman who could predict a beautiful end to her vision of brewing wine from the sacred but exotic fruit kiwi. The brand was launched in 2017 at Hong village of Ziro, Arunachal Pradesh by Tage Rita Takhe; an engineer turned entrepreneur through her venture M/s Lambu Subu Food & Beverages. The brand was named after her late father-in-law lovingly known as ‘Naara’ and ‘Aaba’ meaning father. The motto of the company is to fight a social problem that wreaks havoc across the region, namely the suicides of thousands of farmers who cannot pay back their debt due to drought, poor harvest, and sometimes exacerbated by climate. Rita started her winery facing these hurdles and a field abundant in kiwi fruits. Despite facing many challenges such as lack of efficient production infrastructure, market connectivity, and minimum support from the government machinery, she has created a niche market in the wine industry. This case aims to establish the applicability of the Blue Ocean strategy by applying the tools to create an uncontested market space for Naara-Aaba, the first organic kiwi wine from the north-eastern states of India and second in the world after New Zealand. Research question: How to apply Blue Ocean strategy for the brand Naara-Aaba so that the competition becomes irrelevant? Theory: Blue Ocean theory Type of the case: Applied problem solving Basis of the case: Phenomenon-creating uncontested space in the market Protagonist: Present Findings: The findings revealed that implementing a Blue Ocean strategy will open up new uncontested market spaces for the brand to grow profitably. This case study shows how to apply Blue Ocean strategy for a wine brand. Discussion: Blue Ocean strategy advocates that by eliminating unnecessary attributes, reducing all features that pushes up the cost, raising utility, and creating higher value, a brand can redefine its market where competition is non-existent.

Ghana has had a long-standing problem of illegal gold mining that has led to the destruction of the environment. The government of Ghana is taking steps to not only curb illegal mining but also to restore destroyed lands that resulted from illegal mining. The government intends to spend financially in the area of ecological restoration to returned disturbed lands to their natural states possible, but the question remains whether restoring those disturbed lands will be beneficial to the country. The study was undertaken in Bekwai Municipal Area in the Ashanti region of Ghana where most locals are farmers. The research studies whether the benefits of ecological restoration outweigh the cost of ecological restoration? The research deployed a quantitative data collection. The data collected was analyzed using benefit-Cost ratio. The result shows that the benefit of ecological restoration outweighs the cost incurred as dependent on the land use as a carbon sequestration project. In conclusion, investment in ecological restoration is a step in the right direction for a country endowed with gold resources. This will spur growth and at the same time improve and protect the country’s natural resources and environment.

In the last two decades the pollution problems and the increase of the cost of fossil energy (oil, gas) have become planetary problems. The automobile manufacturers started to react to the urban pollution problems in the nineties by commercializing the electric vehicle. But the battery weight and cost problems were not solved. The batteries must provide energy and peak power during the transient states. These conditions are severe for the batteries. To decrease these severe conditions, the supercapacitors and batteries associated with a good power management present a promising solution. Supercapacitors are storage devices that enable to supply the peaks of power to hybrid vehicles during the transient states. During the steady states, batteries will provide the energy requested. This methodology enables the decrease of the weight and increase of the lifespan of the batteries. Hybridization using batteries and supercapacitors for transport applications is needed when energy and power management are requested during the transient states and steady states.

The cardinal objective of this study is to examine the impact of Land Title Document on credit access and business growth.  A case study was applied on Nasarawa state, Nigeria to better understand the phenomenon been researched. Information was gathered from the field through face-to-face interviews and through the administering of questionnaire among business operators in some selected towns. The research revealed that a large proportion of respondents do not have Land Title Document to their business premises and that they have never made a request for it from government agency before. 60.00% of respondents’ responded that the duration of the processing of the document takes months/years.  44.52% of respondents reported that never have banks made request for  the document before granting loan facilities while  30.24%  of respondents’ indicated ‘yes, often’. From the responses, 40.47% of respondents were of the view that possession of ‘C of O’ document will not enhance their capital based and business expansion. The views of the respondents suggest that delay is a major problem in the processing of Land Title Document. Among the reasons cited for the delays are problems with documentation and legal issues. A reasonable percentage of respondents (31.43%) were of the view that the cost of obtaining ‘C of C’ is high and difficult in the State. A suggested solution is that the government agency handling this document should be reorganize and the steps required to obtain this document should be reduced and made uniform within the State.
