Abstract

Urban farming is carried out to overcome limited land and increase family food security. Cultivating vegetable crops and raising fish are solutions for urban agriculture. The method for implementing International Community Service (PkMI) was implemented in Medan and Penang, Malaysia in June 2024 at the Griya Nusa Tiga Complex Blok B-29 Medan through: a). Socialization and Focus Group Discussion (FGD) regarding urban farming education in residential environments ; b). Hydroponic and Aquaponic training and practice (budikdamber); c). Entrepreneurship training and practice for partners; d). Mentoring and monitoring. PkMI results show ed an increase in the knowledge and skills of partners (20 residents of the Griya Nusa Tiga Complex) in understanding the definition, benefits and implementation of Urban Farming; the growth of the entrepreneurial spirit of residents for independent and sustainable aquaponic cultivation; and able to meet dual protein needs (vegetables and fish); processing budikdamber products appropriately.

Abstract

Characterization of the main characters is an essential element in establishing an emotional connection between the reader and the storyline in a novel. Me Before You by Jojo Moyes presents profound characterization through its two main characters, Louisa Clark and Will Traynor, who have contrasting backgrounds and motivations. This study aims to analyze how the characterization of these two characters contributes to the structure and quality of the novel’s plot. The research employs a qualitative approach with text analysis, encompassing character identification, psychological analysis of characters, and exploration of narrative structure. Data were collected through in-depth reading and note-taking of key elements related to character development and their interaction with the plot. The findings reveal that the characterization of Louisa and Will plays a crucial role in shaping the story’s dynamics. Louisa evolves from an insecure individual into a more independent and courageous person, while Will experiences deep internal conflict regarding control over his life. Will's firm adherence to his decision creates intense emotional tension in the plot, reinforcing the central themes of freedom of choice, sacrifice, and the meaning of life. Additionally, validation through literature review and discussions with academics supports the idea that characterization in this novel aligns with concepts in contemporary literature. The study concludes that complex and realistic characterization not only drives the plot but also adds depth to the themes and messages conveyed. Through strong character depiction, Me Before You successfully engages readers emotionally and offers a profound reflection on life choices and their consequences in human existence.

Abstract

Smart city is a city built to create efficient, sustainable, fair and livable cities. Increasing the percentage of population survival in standard and emergency times or emergency medical services (EMS) is one of the main pillars of a smart city. This study develops previous research. The weakness of this model is that it needs to consider the dynamic travel time factor. The model only considers the fixed travel time between two locations, which may not represent the actual conditions on the highway. It is less flexible because it only finds one threshold value α for all λi. Researchers succeeded in developing a model to overcome the model weaknesses in (4) by adding new constraints that consider ambulance capacity and overcome the shortcomings of the model (5) by adding tighter limits on the value of α to minimize the difference between the values of λi and αλi. In addition, constraints can also be added to ensure that α is a realistic value and meets business requirements.

Abstract

Modern e-supply chains are characterized by increasing complexity and a critical need for enhanced sustainability, transparency, and traceability. Blockchain technology emerges as a significant enabler, offering decentralized, immutable ledgers and smart contracts that can support more secure, verifiable, and environmentally responsible operations through trustworthy data. Despite blockchain's potential, a notable gap exists in the availability of quantitative, data-driven optimization models that rigorously assess the operational and sustainability impacts of its integration into e-supply chains, particularly for complex, non-linear system interactions. This study aims to address this gap by presenting an in-depth analysis of a specific Mixed-Integer Non-Linear Programming (MINLP) optimization model. The goal is to clarify its structure, evaluate its application for an e-supply chain incorporating blockchain features (like transaction costs and conceptual smart contract enforcement for compliance) and sustainability objectives (such as carbon emission reduction), and derive practical insights. The methodology involves a detailed exposition of the MINLP model, followed by its application to a defined e-supply chain scenario. The analytical approach includes computational experiments focusing on a base case analysis to demonstrate model functionality. The broader evaluative framework for this study encompasses benchmarking the model’s performance against a conventional system and conducting sensitivity analyses on key parameters to understand performance trade-offs. The initial base case analysis demonstrates the model's capability to optimize supplier selection and operational plans while adhering to sustainability constraints, such as maintaining carbon emissions at or below 300 kg CO₂ per period, and accounting for blockchain-specific costs like a per-supplier usage fee of 500. The structure of the model and preliminary insights suggest its potential to achieve improved environmental impact compared to conventional systems, balanced against associated blockchain implementation costs. This research provides a detailed examination of a complex MINLP structure, offering a data-driven analytical approach for assessing blockchain's role in sustainable e-supply chains. It furnishes a foundational framework and insights that can guide managerial decisions and strategic planning for industries transitioning towards greener, more transparent, and digitally advanced supply chain operations.

Abstract

This study presents a data-driven, Mixed Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) framework for optimizing the multi-period production scheduling of perishable products with integrated workforce planning. Its primary novelty is the holistic integration of a continuous exponential decay function for product deterioration with dynamic workforce planning, creating a unified model that optimizes production, inventory, and labor simultaneously. This approach addresses key challenges in perishable inventory systems by treating labor as a controllable resource rather than a fixed constraint. Mathematically, the model includes nonlinear inventory balance equations with decay terms and resource-dependent capacity constraints. The objective is to minimize total operational cost, comprising production, holding, and spoilage costs. Computational experiments, based on a realistic case study, demonstrate that the proposed model reduces total system cost by 6.2% and spoilage costs by 43.2% compared to a standard heuristic benchmark. The resulting production and labor schedules align closely with demand fluctuations, supporting both economic and operational efficiency. This unified framework advances the mathematical modeling of sustainable production planning and offers a practical tool for real-world industries such as food processing and pharmaceuticals.
