Influencing factors and reduction of domestic solid waste at university dormitory in Shanghai, China

Increasing domestic solid waste (DSW) is becoming one of the most serious challenges for city and regional environment. As an epitome of the society, the investigation on the influencing factors and reduction of DSW of university students can not only provide policy suggestions for the waste management in the university campus, but also can achieve demonstration effect to other communities due to its high social status and wide impacts. This research combined direct weighing, questionnaire surveys, and regression analysis to quantify the influencing factors of DSW at East China Normal University’s dormitory in Shanghai. Direct weighting and questionnaire survey were conducted in 112 randomly selected dormitory rooms. Totally 523 valid questionnaires were collected. It is found that the average waste generation was 0.275 kg/day/cap, in which residual waste accounted for 64% of total, followed by household food waste (29%), and recyclable waste (7%). Regressions based on ordinary least square method suggested that students’ attitude towards waste played the most important role in affecting the waste reduction with its elasticity − 0.195. Lower educational level and better financial condition would lead to more waste generation, whose elasticity was 0.148 and 0.098 respectively. The influences of gender and major varied from waste types. Policies implications for university administration departments for sustainable waste and resource management include developing personalized and humanized waste management policies, enhancing environmental awareness through diverse educational activities, and expanding the publicity role of campus cultural activities on waste reduction.

Economic Assessment of Power Grid Development Using Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm

The electricity system is generally rapidly developing for covering various power demands with requiring a reliable and safe supply where the substructures are expanding further in generation systems, transmission systems, and distribution systems. However, the system must be run economically to access energy at a cost-effective level related to existing energy enterprises and energy consumption in the load which is represented periodically in the total costs of operations for all operating units. As a basis for its determination, the transmission of economic power within the technical limits applicable is taken into consideration. Environmental factors, on the other hand, are also an impediment to technical limitations. As a result, the operation's economic measure is expressed in the process of providing and selling energy to customers. These works use the Artificial Bees Colony algorithm to determine the scheduling of generating units using the basic principle of optimization to describe its relationship as an economic function. The IEEE-30 bus system is used as a basic model for system development. The analysis' findings show that the weighting factor scheme has an impact on the minimum total cost and that the combination of the electricity distribution process and environmental factors has implications for the operational financial condition and electricity production. The power output, in particular, is proportional to the cost of each generating unit.

Rasio Profitabilitas: Mengukur Performance dan Tingkat Kesehatan Perbankan yang Terdaftar di BEI Tahun 2020

The Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia is still ongoing to this day causing the performance and health level of banking profitability to decline and the financial condition of the country disrupted. Banking profitability can be seen in the value of Return On Asset (ROA) to see the effectiveness of banking in making profits by utilizing total assets. The study aims to analyze the effect of financial ratios consisting of Capital Adequacy Ratio (CAR), Non-Performing Loan (NPL), Loan to Deposit Ratio (LDR), Operating Expenditures to Operating Income (BOPO), and Net Interest Margin (NIM) on Return On Asset (ROA) on banking going public listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) during 2020 during the Covid-19 pandemic. The population in this study was 40 banks with 160 data. Data analysis methods use descriptive statistical tests, classical assumption tests, multiple linear regression tests, t-tests, f-tests, and determination coefficient tests. The results of the study proved that partially the variables CAR, LDR, and BOPO had a negative and significant effect on ROA. NIM has a positive and significant influence on ROA. While NPL has no influence and is not significant to ROA in banks registered with IDX in 2020. Simultaneously car, NPL, LDR, BOPO, and NIM variables have a significant effect on ROA. The implications of the results of the study prove that in the time of the Covid-19 pandemic, the condition of banks registered with the IDX is still healthy and meeting the minimum CAR ratio below 8%, meaning that banks still earn profits from the results of credit capital management to customers. The level of insecurity of the number of bad loans is still low and can still overcome. The value of the operating expense ratio of banking operating.
