Passengers' satisfaction of urban road transportation services has been widely researched over the past few decades. However, no study has been conducted to analyze the relationship of the passengers' satisfaction of regular taxi and bus transport services with an external psychological factor. To this end, 100 passengers were randomly recruited to participate in this study. The participants were required to complete three questionnaires to assess their level of belonging and their satisfaction of regular taxi and bus transport services as two prominent urban road transport services. The questionnaire of sense of belonging had 12 items rated on a 5-point Likert Scale. The responses also were rated from “strongly disagree” to “strongly agree”. The respondents were requested to grade 1 to 10 an 18-travel-attribute survey to assess their satisfaction of urban road transport services. The results indicated that passengers were not satisfied with urban road transport services; however, their satisfaction with regular taxi was higher in comparison with bus transport services. The findings also revealed that there was a significant correlation between the passengers' level of belonging and their satisfaction of public transport services.

The subject of the article is the relationship between the parameters of the regional socio-economic system and the transport complex. Transport is a: 1) independent branch of the economy, 2) element of the regional infrastructure, providing conditions for functioning of the other branches of material production and the social sphere. The purpose of this article is to present methodological approaches to the study of needs of the regional socio-economic system in the transport services and to conduct experimental needs assessment on the example of the Khabarovsk territory. Methodology is presented as a set of sequential stages, including the analysis of features of the regional economy and transport, study of the relationship of their parameters. The structure of the economy and key indicators of the transport complex of the Khabarovsk territory are considered. Experimental assessment of the demand for freight transportation from the socio-economic system of the region using methods of econometric analysis was carried out. Models of simple linear regression vector and auto-regression vector are tested. The data on the volume of cargo transportation and cargo turnover for the period 1995–2019, as well as the index of industrial production and gross regional product were used. It is determined that linear regression does not allow obtaining meaningful and correct estimates. The vector auto-regression model shows a significant relationship between the indicators of the economy and the volume of rail transport, the general indicator of transportation, as well as cargo turnover by road (with a lag of one period), no significant connection with the road transport was found. The results obtained can become the basis for assessing the future needs for transport services, based on the future parameters of the economic development of the region. This will allow for timely and adequate development of transport infrastructure without turning it into a limitation of economic growth. In the future, it is necessary to detail the analysis by studying the relationship of need for transport services with the parameters of the functioning of individual sectors of the socio-economic system of the region.

ABSTRAK Pengembangan pariwisata sebagai salah satu pemanfaatan ruang wilayah di Kabupaten Pasuruan menjadi salah satu sektor prioritas dalam menumbuhkan ekonomi baru. Pariwisata sebagai kegiatan yang sifatnya diskrit telah membentuk pergerakan wisatawan yang dinamis, sehingga  adanya permintaan sarana transportasi yang fleksibel dan adanya kepastian dari aspek waktu dan biaya. Berkembangnya layanan angkutan jalan online menjadi  salah satu alternatif sarana angkutan jalan bagi wisatawan untuk perjalanannya selain layanan angkutan non daring.  Hal ini menunjukkan bahwa permintaan angkutan jalan untuk kegiatan pariwisata sangat tinggi, sehingga perlunya penelitian guna mengetahui kecenderungan pemilihan layanan angkutan jalan daring dan non daring untuk kegiatan pariwisata di Kabupaten Pasuruan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui preferensi wisatawan terhadap layanan angkutan jalan daring dan non daring untuk perjalanan wisata di Kabupaten Pasuruan. Metode penelitian menggunakan pendekatan stated preference dengan pengambilan data secara accidental sampling dan menganalisis data melalui analisis regresi dan perhitungan binomial logit. Hasil analisis dan perhitungan secara logit binomial menunjukkan besar nilai probabilitas pada pemilihan layanan angkutan jalan daring moda minibus terhadap layanan angkutan jalan non daring dengan moda mobil pribadi, angkutan shuttle dan angkutan travel sebesar 0,63 ;0,83 ;dan 0,90. Hal ini menjelaskan bahwa  kecenderungan wisatawan memilih layanan angkutan jalan daring sebagai angkutan pariwisata lebih besar daripada layanan angkutan jalan non daring. Hasil penelitian ini sejalan dengan langkah pemerintah daerah setempat yang mulai menyediakan layanan angkutan pariwisata yang berbasis aplikasi. Merujuk dari hasil penelitian ini nantinya dapat mengadopsi dari layanan angkutan pariwsata yang sudah ada dengan melakukan pembaharuan pada aplikasi tersebut. Namun, ketersediaan layanan angkutan pariwisata tersebut perlu untuk disosialisasikan kepada masyarakat sebagai pengguna nantinya, sehingga layanan tersebut dapat bekerja optimal.   Kata kunci : Layanan angkutan jalan, pariwisata, daring, non daring, preferensi. ABSTRACT Tourism development as one of the utilization of regional space in Pasuruan Regency is one of the priority sectors in growing a new economy. Tourism as a discrete activity has formed a dynamic tourist movement, resulting in the demand for flexible transportation facilities and certainty in terms of time and cost. the development of online road transportation services is an alternative means of road transportation for tourists to travel in addition to non-online transportation services. This shows that the demand for road transport for tourism activities is very high, so that research is needed to determine the trends in choosing online and non-online road transport services for tourism activities in Pasuruan Regency. This study aims to determine tourist preferences for online and non-online road transportation services for tourist trips in Pasuruan Regency. The research method uses a stated preference approach by taking data by accidental sampling and analyzing data through regression analysis and binomial logit calculations This study used a stated preference approach method with accidental sampling data collection and analyzed the data through regression analysis and binomial logit calculation. The result of regression analysis and binomial logit calculation shows the probability value in choosing online road transport services for minibus mode of non-online road transport services by private car, shuttle and travel transportation are 0.63; 0.83; and 0.90. This explains that the tendency of tourists to choose online road transportation services as tourism transportation is greater than non-online road transportation services. The results of this study are in line with the steps of the local government which began to provide application-based tourism transportation services. Referring to the results of this research, later it can be adopted from existing tourism transportation services by updating the application. However, the availability of tourism transportation services needs to be socialized to the community as users later, so that these services can work optimally. Keywords: road transport services, tourism,  preferences.

Lactate is a product of anaerobic glycolysis, used in animal research as an indicator of muscle fatigue. Therefore, it has been used as an indicator of cattle response to long distance transportation. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of L-lactate concentrations measured using a Lactate Scout+ analyzer and a traditional lactate assay colorimetric kit. Blood samples were collected by venipuncture from 96 steers (Black or Red Angus × Hereford/Simmental and Black or Red Angus × Charolais; 247 ± 38.2 kg BW) prior to loading (LO1) and after 36 h of transport, and prior to reloading and after an additional 4 h of road transportation, and on d 1, 2, 3, 5, 14, and 28 after transport. The Lactate Scout+ analyzer strip was dipped in blood at the time of sampling, while blood samples were collected into sodium fluoride tubes for use in the colorimetric analysis. Pearson correlations were calculated to assess the strength of the relationship between the experimental methods for the quantification of L-lactate concentrations. The magnitude and direction of the correlation, and the level of statistical significance varied over the observed time points, ranging from r = −0.03 (p = 0.75; LO1) to r = 0.75 (p < 0.0001; d 3). The correlation for the pooled data was weak but statistically significant (r = 0.33, p < 0.0001). Based on the low magnitude of the correlation due to variability across sampling time points in this study, the Lactate Scout+ analyzer is not a suitable alternative to a lab-based assay (considered the gold standard) for measuring L-lactate in transported cattle.

Abstract Blood metabolites are used to assess a variety of animal conditions for veterinary diagnosis and research. Concentration of metabolites in blood can be measured using a commercially-available lab-based assay or in real-time using a handheld device developed to be more time- and cost-effective than the lab-based method. Lactate is a product of anaerobic glycolysis, used in animal research as an indicator of muscle fatigue. Therefore, it has been used as an indicator of cattle response to long distance transportation. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship of L-lactate concentrations measured using a Lactate Scout+ analyzer (Lactate Scout, EFK Diagnostics, Barleben, Germany) and a lactate assay colorimetric kit (Lactate Assay Kit, Cell Biolabs Inc., San Diego, CA). Blood samples were collected by venipuncture from 96 steers (245 ± 35.7 kg BW) prior to (L1) and after 36 h, and prior to and after an additional 4 h of road transportation, and on d 1, 2, 3, 5, 14, and 28 after transport. The Lactate Scout+ analyzer strip was dipped in blood at the time of sampling, while blood samples were collected into sodium fluoride tubes for use in colorimetric analysis. Pearson correlations were calculated to determine the relationship between the experimental methods for the quantification of L-lactate concentrations. The strengths and levels of statistical significance of the correlation varied over the observed time points, r = -0.03, P = 0.75 (L1) to r = 0.75, P = &lt; 0.0001 (d 3). The correlation for the pooled data was weak but statistically significant (r = 0.33, P &lt; 0.001). Based on the experimental results, the Lactate Scout+ analyzer is not a suitable alternative to a lab-based assay for measuring L-lactate in transported cattle, due to variability across sampling time points and weak correlation with the traditional enzymatic method.

In the study, the authors have identified the dominant trends in the development of the international road transport services market. These include monopolization and protectionism, structural imbalances, namely, predominance of European transport companies in the international motor transport market, prevailing of private transport companies. Hence, the researchers determined the general vector of improvement of the motor transport services market in the modern stage of internationalization of global economic relations. The current trends in the development of the international road transport services market in Ukraine are substantiated. The authors propose a competitiveness assessment methodology for transport enterprises. It is proposed to quantify the following elements as part of the competitiveness coefficient of a transport enterprise: 1) the range of offered transportation services; 2) pricing policy; 3) advertising; 4) public relations; 5) sales system; 6) employee incentive system; 7) innovative activity of the enterprise. Using the proposed methodological approach will help making reasonable management decisions to improve the efficiency of transport enterprises, to expand the information base of economic research, and to improve the quality of analysis in the context of accelerated development of the international logistics infrastructure.

The rapid urbanisation and economic growth has led to unprecedented increase in CO2 emissions, which led to a vital global issue due partly to the rise in demand from the transport sector. In the years ahead, the transport services demand is likely to increase further, which lead to intensification in CO2 emissions as well. The transportation sector in Malaysia contributes for about 28% of total CO2 emissions, of which 85% of it goes to road transportation mode. This has led to a great interest in how the CO2 emissions in this sector can effectively be reduced. Using a multiple regression model and datasets from 1990 to 2015, this study aimed to examine factors that influence the CO2 emissions in Malaysia. Key factors of CO2 emissions, i.e., fuel consumption (FC), distance travel (DT), fuel efficiency (FE), and fuel price (FP) were investigated for the road transport sector. The findings demonstrated that the impact of factors on CO2 emissions were varies in each technology vehicles. These findings not only contributes to enhancing the current literature, but also provide insights for policy maker in Malaysia to design policy instruments for road transport sector.

Purpose: This paper investigates the relationship between penalty magnitude, attitude towards VAT compliance, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control on VAT compliance intention among SMEs in Nigeria. Methodology: Data was gathered through administration of 30 questionnaires. The respondents are SMEs in Kano, Nigeria. 23 indicator items were measured on 5-point Likert Scale from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). IBM SPSS Statistics 23 was employed as the primary statistical analysis tool for the study. Findings: The result indicates positive relationship of penalty magnitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control on VAT compliance intention, while attitude towards VAT compliance has negative relationship with VAT compliance intention. Implications: This study recommends a blend of economic and socio-psychological factors in tackling VAT compliance among SMEs, as that will encourage the SMEs to remit the VAT collections and also assist the policy makers to map-out policies that would ensure an effective management of VAT revenue and compliance among SMEs in Nigeria and other developing countries. Further studies on a larger number of respondents should be conducted to test the consistency of the results.
