Load-Dependent Vehicle Routing Problem: A Heuristic Approach
Authors: Nguyen Thuy Trang , Pham Duc Tai , Buddhakulsomsiri Jirachai , Parthanadee Parthana
Published: August 2023

In this paper, a vehicle routing problem for the delivery of frozen and chilled products is explored. The problem is formulated as a mixed integer programming model to minimize the total load-dependent distance instead of the total distance. The model is an adaptation from the energy-minimizing vehicle routing problem. In addition to the problem formulation, a Cluster-First-Route-Second-based heuristic approach is developed as an alternative solution. The performance of both the mathematical model solved by a commercial solver and the heuristic algorithm is experimented on several standard problem instances. The results show that although the heuristic algorithm outperforms the mathematical model in terms of computation time, the quality of its solutions fall short of expectations. This implies an opportunity for further improvement.
Nurse Rostering via Mixed-Integer Programming
Authors: Ouda Eman , Sleptchenko Andrei , Simsekler Mecit Can Emre
Published: August 2023

Nurse scheduling is a topic widely studied due to its overall effect on patient care and hospital performance. This research focuses on formulating a Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) workforce scheduling model as a nurse rostering problem. The model incorporates multiple objectives of individual nurse preference and qualification. This is approached by categorizing nurses into different hierarchical levels based on their qualifications and positions; Head Nurse, Senior Nurse, Nurse, and Assistant Nurse. Moreover, each nurse’s holiday preferences are accounted for in the model. The proposed MIP model is solved to generate a schedule to meet hospital demand and individual nurse preferences. A MIP solver using Python 3 was used to find the optimal solution by cutting planes. The sensitivity analysis and computational results reflect different scenarios and scheduling to fit all hospital environments and demands.

Authors: Fürst Rudolf
Published: August 2023

This book review follows Issabela Weber in her exploration of China's economic transformation, focusing on the influence of Central and Eastern European (CEE) experts. Weber challenges conventional Western beliefs by highlighting the historical politics of inflation in shaping China's market reform debate. She examines the interactions between Chinese academics, liberal-minded party leaders, and CEE experts who acted as intermediaries for new ideas of economic transition. By unraveling the transnational history of CEE's intellectual impact on China's economic reforms in the context of emerging neoliberal globalization, Weber offers unique insights into China's economic development within the global landscape, among other aspects.
The Impact of the Covid-19 Pandemic on the Hungarian Penitentiary System and Its Transformation Processes
Authors: Czenczer Orsolya
Published: August 2023

The Covid-19 epidemic has put significant pressure on national penitentiary services all over the world to control the impacts that the pandemic has on closed prison environments. The prison services of the member states of the Council of Europe have responded with incredible speed and effectiveness with preventive and administrative measures to prevent the spread of the virus. The objective of the Council of Europe, EuroPris and other international organisations, was to support the member states’ responses to the situation in prisons by facilitating the exchange of information and best practices. The present study examines the statements and recommendations of the most important bodies and committees of the Council of Europe, in parallel with measures and solutions implemented in Hungary, in the light of international recommendations. The paper is based on a descriptive analysis of the Council of Europe expectations and recommendations and their applicability in the Hungarian prison system. Hungary has successfully processed and incorporated mostly all of the expectation of the international parties, in fact, he took further steps to make the pandemic’s outreached contacts of prisoners and relatives more colourful and active. Prevention and control measures adopted in timely manner were effective also in Hungary, as well in other Council of Europe member state. This study highlights the critical importance of fast and reasonable actions of international control bodies and the open and cooperative response of the national prison services.

Specific Criminal Profiling and Interrogation Techniques as Forensic Psychology Methods in Hungarian Law Enforcement
Authors: Erdélyi Ákos
Published: August 2023

One of the applied areas of criminal psychology, the forensic psychology presents how the knowledge of psychology can be applied in the most optimal way in order to effectively detect individual crimes. A trend has appeared in law enforcement agencies for psychologists to carry out special activities in the criminal field. One specific activity is criminal profiling and the other is the development of the most effective interrogation techniques. Now I attempt to present these two specific criminal tasks of psychology. I present a literature review on how forensic psychology can be used during profiling and the planning of special interrogations. Despite the fact that offender profiling is not new for law enforcement agencies, its clinical trend has begun to appear and spread independently in recent years. The application of psychology in the planning of individual interrogations is a much more researched field and used during weekday work.
Trends in Juvenile Delinquency from a Criminal Psychology and Criminology Perspective
Authors: Baráth Noémi Emőke
Published: August 2023

Juvenile crime has been showing a downward trend for years both in Hungary and internationally. Despite this, many young people are still caught by the authorities. In the study, we use the analysis of Hungarian and international statistical data to see what structural changes have occurred in the structure of crime in the past period. We assume that the – temporarily – punishable deviant behaviour of the child and juvenile population, in the absence of a suitable treatment system, turns from episodic perpetration into a series of acts. We will examine how the social, economic, demographic and legislative background influences juvenile delinquency and which psychological explanations help to understand and manage the path leading to the development of the situation. It is also important to keep technological changes in mind, since there are an increasing number of juveniles among the perpetrators of cybercrimes. Data quality and statistical diversity also present challenges to researchers, we also try to synthesise these data in the article, which can provide an explanation for why other data can be found in some databases that are not in line with each other. The study partially covers the explanation of the criminological and criminal psychological reasons behind the commission of crime. The performed analysis can contribute to the more efficient functioning of the investigative authority and the welfare system dealing with juveniles, by providing a prismatic overview of the changing trends in this paper.

From "Language Loss" to "Bilingualism" — Discussing the Cultural Dimension in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language
Authors: Li Ze
Published: August 2023

The term "culture" originates from "The Book of Changes". Western culture is derived from the Latin word "Culture," originally referring to practices such as farming, dwelling, and training, among others. British cultural scholar E. Tylor defined "culture" in "Primitive Culture" as a complex group of abilities and habits acquired by any member that includes knowledge, beliefs, morals, and customs. In the context of teaching Chinese as a foreign language, "culture" can be extended to the understanding of "culture" in "Primitive Culture." The culture of teaching Chinese as a foreign language encompasses the knowledge, beliefs, and morals of both parties. This article discusses "cultural language loss" and "bilingualism," exploring strategies for the development of teaching Chinese as a foreign language.
Manusia dan Kebebasan dalam Pandangan Taqi Misbah Yazdi: Studi Kritis Terhadap Jean Paul Sartre
Authors: Firmansyah Beta , Triandi Dikdik , Hamdani Basrir , Fahmi Zulkifli Reza
Published: August 2023

Riset ini mengeksplorasi pandangan Taqi Misbah Yazdi dalam mengkritik teori kebebasan manusia menurut Jean Paul Sarte. Diskursus tentang kebebasan manusia, memang telah banyak dibicarakan terutama di era modern khususnya pada bidang filsafat. Bahkan di Barat, kebebasan menjadi topik sentral yang dibicarakan. Munculnya eksistensialisme membuktikan isu kebebasan menjadi salah satu yang menjadi polemik di kalangan filsuf-filsuf eksistensialis, seperti Soren Kierkegaard, Martin Haidegger, Karl Jasper dan lainnya. Peneliti akan fokus pada konsep Eksistensialisme Sartre tentang kebebasan manusia yang diulas melalui pandangan Taqi Mizbah Yazdi mengenai kebebasan. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif, karena penelitian ini bersifat dekriptif dan cenderung menggunakan analisis. Proses dan makna (perspektif subjek) lebih ditonjolkan dalam penelitian kualitatif. Landasan teori dimanfaatkan sebagai pemandu agar fokus penelitian sesuai dengan fakta di lapangan. Penelitian ini menemukan bahwa secara eksistensi nilai, konsep kebebasan menurut Sartre terdapat kelemahan, yakni berujung pada kecemasan, sedangkan secara esensi, kebebasan Sartre diawali dari kesadaran manunsia dari “ada”, kemudian bertindak dalam “menidak” secara sadar. Dalam kajian Yazdi, kesadaran dalam menidak ini, akan menjadikan manusia terlepas dari kehendak ilahi secara nilai dan spiritual, artinya pehamahan tentang wujud mutlak yang sadar dengan wujud yang sementara seperti manusia, menjadi tidak bisa di pahami dan dikaji, karena rasa dari menidak tersebut, menghitamkan dan mengkosongkan diri menjadi apapun yang pada akhirnya, seorang manusia tidak akan pernah menemukan esensi dirinya.

Published: August 2023

The aggravation of the global problems of humanity’s existence has led to a rapid and radical change in value orientations and strategic priorities for the further development of world economies. The concepts of socio-ecological and economic justice, equality, and access to financial benefits have replaced and supplemented the dominant commercial business management concepts. The idea of inclusive development has become one of the main ones among such concepts. Its principles aim to overcome gaps and inequalities in the population’s quality of life. The agricultural sector plays a decisive role in this. The article investigates the inclusive agricultural business’s key priorities, characteristics, and principles. A review of literary sources was carried out devoted to the issue of inclusiveness in the development of agriculture and rural areas. The author’s variation supplemented the fundamental principles of inclusive agrarian business. The landscape of the main tasks of using the resource potential of agribusiness under the conditions of an inclusive rural economy is determined. An analysis of the state, volumes, and value of the resource potential of agribusiness of Ukraine under pre-war conditions was carried out. The research results showed significant problems in the formation of the resource potential of the agricultural sector in terms of human resources, fixed assets, and intangible assets. Despite this, the results demonstrated the agrarian sector’s investment attractiveness and agribusiness’s high profitability. The thesis confirmed a significant potential for ensuring the future economic growth of the agricultural industry based on inclusive development. The critical strategic principle of managing the resource potential of inclusive farm businesses should be a compromise and an optimal combination of commercial business initiatives with a high level of social responsibility for agricultural producers. The final cessation of the military conflict on the territory of Ukraine should become a mandatory prerequisite for realizing this goal. The prospects for further scientific research in this context are the assessment of the dependence of the effectiveness of the use of the resource potential of agricultural business entities depending on the degree of implementation of the inclusive principles of its development in practical activities.

Published: August 2023

The article systematizes and expands the main methodological provisions of the internal control system of an enterprise, including a methodical approach to the formation of an internal financial control system as a mechanism for adapting an enterprise to the dynamic conditions of the external environment, namely: the stages of formation of an internal financial control system (from identifying the need to adapt an economic entity to changing market conditions before the development of its specific resistance); the expediency of transforming the sequence of logically interconnected actions within the framework of the functioning of the internal financial control system in order to achieve cross-tolerance to the effects of external market conditions is proved. The conditions for the development of the internal financial control system are substantiated based on the application of inertial and crisis scenarios for its adaptation to the permanently dynamic conditions of the external and internal conjuncture, in particular: general and particular algorithmic models for implementing the scenario approach to the development of the internal proactive financial control system are developed, which allow balancing profitability and liquidity of an economic entity; the necessity of differentiation of the calculated individual values of the standards of such indicators as the current liquidity ratio, the financial independence ratio and the net working capital for economic entities of various types is argued, which will allow taking into account the specifics of the activity of a particular economic entity when making financial decisions in a situation of uncertainty. Тhe essence of the study involves the development of methodological provisions for the formation of a system and substantiation of directions for its practical implementation in a dynamic economic reality. The practical significance is realized through the use of its results in the process of building a system of internal proactive financial control in a particular economic entity and creating within it, based on the scenario approach, an adaptation mechanism to ensure the financial stability of the activities of this economic entity in a volatile market environment.
ECONOMIC JUSTIFICATION OF ECOSYSTEM ASSETS OF CITY PARKS BASED ON ANALYSIS OF MAPPING OF THE SEASIDE CITY OF ODESSA
Authors:   State Organization ", Vernihorova Nataliia ,   Institute of Market and Economic&Ecological Researches of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine"
Published: August 2023

The article examines the level of provision of recreational green areas in the Black Sea city of Odessa and analyzes their level of accessibility for citizens within walking distance. During the war, Odesa, among other Black Sea regions, preserved its recreational potential the most in the context of infrastructural support. Therefore, it becomes urgent to support and develop the natural recreational potential of the seaside towns of Odesa. During the research, the economic value of the ecosystem assets of city parks as an investment resource was substantiated. A certain correlation was determined between the provision of green spaces in the city's districts and the average cost of housing in the districts of the city of Odesa. At the same time, the key factor in price formation is the location relative to marine recreational resources and the historical center of the city. That is, the presence of green spaces in the immediate vicinity has its influence, but is not decisive. Increasing the economic value of green zones in shaping the attractiveness of territories and forming housing prices is of strategic importance for increasing the economic potential of city districts. With the help of intelligent design of parks, it is possible to increase the investment attractiveness of the district, and therefore influence the development of its infrastructure, recreational and cultural potential. Recommendations are provided regarding increasing the economic efficiency of green zones in the context of their recreational value for the Black Sea region, which will also satisfy the increased demand for recreation in the coming years. The analysis of mapping results shows the need to create additional green zones, which requires improvement of city target programs and additional funding. It is also determined that the city's target programs for the improvement of territories should contain strategies for each of the districts of the city, as well as specific planned measures for the development of green areas. To date, the reports of Odesa district administrations indicate different levels of implementation of the target program.

Authors:   State Institution ", Tiutiunnyk Hanna ,   Institute of Market and Economic&Ecological Research National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine"
Published: August 2023

The article delves into the comprehensive perspective of multifunctional aquaculture facilities, going beyond their traditional role and shedding light on their diverse functions. These facilities are not just mere fish farms; they are envisioned as versatile establishments that serve as scientific and educational centers, eye-catching decorative attractions, and self-sustaining circular production sites. By embracing this multifaceted approach, aquaculture facilities can become innovative and recreational hubs, playing a pivotal role in economic development, knowledge dissemination, and the production of locally sourced goods. A key focal point of the article is the pressing need to explore new directions for aquaculture development within the broader context of marine strategies and Sustainable Development Goals. This exploration aims to tackle the detrimental effects of water pollution, which often stem from military activities. To address these challenges, the establishment of marine gardens is proposed as an inclusive solution that not only mitigates pollution but also generates sustainable income for vulnerable local communities. Moreover, the article highlights the positive impact of marine horticulture on local markets, underscoring its potential to enhance market functionality. Specifically, the concept of designated land plots with small local markets emerges as an additional source of revenue for the local budget through plot rentals and market equipment. By introducing marine gardens, a harmonious balance can be struck between economic development and the improvement of the local population's quality of life. The research presented in the article offers scientific novelty through the author's proposal of a conceptual vision for multifunctional aquaculture facilities. This vision goes beyond conventional perspectives, emphasizing the facilities' potential as innovative and recreational centers that create employment opportunities and foster local economic growth. By considering socio-ecological and economic motivational mechanisms and effects, the author explores uncharted territory, shedding new light on previously unexplored aspects of aquaculture's multifunctionality.

The article is devoted to the problem of the quality of expert research during criminal proceedings and the development of the paradigm of evidence interpretation in accordance with the tasks of the expertise. The relevance of the study is determined by the need for evidence validity at the stages of pre-trial investigation, courts and the role of an expert in these processes. The research methodology included theoretical and traditional legal methods using empirical research data. The article analyzed the factors that affect changing the paradigm of using the evidence base: the process of collecting evidence, their consideration by a forensic economic expert, the method presentation in expert opinions, their evaluation and interpretation in the context of the case in court. Three factors that determine the quality criteria of the forensic economic expertise methodology were investigated. These include the admissibility of an expert opinion, the reliability of expert testimony, and the relationship between the expert and the persons responsible for criminal proceedings. The study showed the direction of development of forensic economic expertise by changing its paradigm. The basis of such changes is proposed to include a criterion-referenced assessment of the methodology of conducting a forensic economic expertise and an expert opinion. Three main criteria for assessing the quality of the expertise at the stage of methodological substantiation of evidence and use of expert opinion in the court process are proposed. The practical significance of the research results lies in the recommendations to prepare an evidence base using a documentary basis for the evaluation of evidence, objective measurements and calculations, the use of databases representing the relevant population, the use of statistical models where possible, testing the validity and reliability of the forensic economic system comparison taking into account the conditions of the case under consideration. Recommendations for improving the methodical aspect of assessing the quality of work of forensic economic expertise are proposed.

The article analyzes the application of fractal analysis and neural networks in internet technologies for diagnosing the state of a studied object and forecasting time series. These methods will expand the possibilities of using predictions for the future behavior of the researched object in the fields of finance, investment, economics, sociology, and other industries where obtaining prospective knowledge is required. The authors provide an overview of predictive analysis theories and modern econometric and mathematical methods for modeling time series. The justification for choosing fractal analysis as an effective method for diagnosing business decision-making processes is given. A methodology for using internet technology to automate time series forecasting is proposed. A web application has been developed as a software product to solve the research tasks. The process of developing the web application is examined, which would forecast the financial indicators of Ukrainian banks based on available time series. The main stages of development and architecture of the web application for diagnosing and forecasting business processes are described. A generalized structure of software modules is presented. Time series of net profit for Ukrainian banks have been selected as the base model for analysis and forecasting. The developed web application is a complex of programs that use a neural network for time series forecasting. Fractal analysis is used in the stage of forming input data for the neural network. The application also provides the ability to conduct R/S analysis of time series to determine the Hurst exponent. The software product also allows training the neural network using backpropagation. With the machine learning algorithms used in the web application, it is possible to analyze large volumes of data and discover complex dependencies and patterns in time series that may be difficult to notice manually. This leads to more accurate and faster results and enables making more objective forecasts based on the available data. The developed web application can also be used for predicting crises in financial and investment activities.

Published: August 2023

The article is devoted to the analysis of the integral influence of migrants of Ukrainian origin on the intellectual capital of EU countries. The analysis is based on the selection of such components in the structure of intellectual capital as human capital, structural capital, social capital, relationship capital. The migration flow of Ukrainian citizens carrying out cross-border movement is segmented into two categories: voluntary and forced migrants. Dominant motivational factors for each group are highlighted. The study is built on the basis of the "generalized portrait of the Ukrainian migrant" and the definition of the trends of its transformation. Determinants of the quality of the intellectual capital of Ukrainian citizens, as well as the reasons for choosing deskilling tactics with an emphasis on youth migration, are determined. The reasons for the underutilization of the potential of intellectual capital of Ukrainian origin were identified based on the institutional features of the host countries, which are the main points of attraction for migrants from Ukraine, including Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Germany. The role of the elements of the acquired individual human capital in the regional section, as well as in the aspect of motivational mechanisms and the nature of the inclusion of migrants in economic processes, is analyzed. The knowledge economy index was used as a comprehensive indicator to assess the potential degree of influence of migration from Ukraine on the intellectual capital of EU countries, taking into account the difference in structural and qualitative parameters of the countries' ability to create, accept and disseminate knowledge. The vector of the influence of migration processes on the social capital of immigration centers is outlined, depending on the system of factors at the global, national, and local levels. The capital of relations is considered as a prerequisite and result of migration processes. The role of the country's image in gaining a place in the structure of migration processes is shown. The impact of refugees from Ukraine on "conditionally dynamic" sociological and institutional factors due to the change in social and psychological attitudes in society, the complication of social and political integration, and the deterioration of economic security indicators is analyzed.

Published: August 2023

The article systematizes the conceptual-categorical apparatus of the international economy in terms of clarifying the definition of “international economic activity” based on the study of the works of domestic scientists. It has been proven that in the context of national interests, international economic activity should be aimed at ensuring the country's economic security, an innovative model of economic development, strengthening its scientific and technical potential, and developing equal and mutually beneficial relations with other countries of the world. The study of the views of domestic scientists made it possible to establish the relationship between the terms “international microeconomics”, “international macroeconomics” and “international economic activity”. It was established that domestic scientists interpret the concept of “international economic activity” in different ways. A critical analysis of the researched interpretations of the concept of “international economic activity” made it possible to single out the scope of application of this concept and the subject component. A refined definition of “international economic activity” is given. The advantage of the specified term is the determination of the direction of the actions of the subjects (formation, development and implementation of the advantages of international cooperation, international specialization and cooperation), the specification of the purpose of these actions taking into account the realities of today (ensuring the international competitiveness of countries, increasing their economic potential). The authors have systematized the existing interpretations of the term "foreign economic activity" in regulatory and legal acts and scientific literature. The common and distinctive features of the concepts of "foreign economic activity" and "international economic activity" have been determined. It was established that the second concept is a broader concept, because it includes a greater number of forms of economic interaction of subjects in the system of global economic relations and has goals that are more global.

Authors:   Ukrainian State University of Chemistry and Technology, Konashchuk Vadym
Published: August 2023

The article examines the organizational and economic aspect of the formation of a strategy for the recovery of the Ukrainian electric power industry. Taking into account the potential danger of sabotage and terrorist acts by the Russian state even after the end of the war is the main prerequisite for the formation of this strategy. The main principles of the recovery of the country's electric power industry have been determined: ensuring physical safety for personnel and valuable equipment, ensuring the reliability of the power system, balanced generation, optimization and rationalization of energy consumption, energy decarbonization and efforts to achieve climate neutrality. It is proposed to develop a national innovation and investment project for the restoration, modernization and development of the electric power industry on the basis of the ecological and economic concept of the modernization of the electric power industry developed by the author. The structure of the mentioned national project should be made up of local projects for restoration, modernization and development of generation and energy distribution infrastructure, as well as energy saving and rationalization of energy consumption projects. The participants of the energy system are offered to develop a national project in cooperation with regulators and state institutions. In the process of developing a national project, it is proposed to use the author's approach of balancing the costs of subcontractor resources and time resources based on a realistic assessment of available and available resources. To solve the problem of financing the national project, it is proposed to create a patronage investor of the project – the National Energy Restoration Fund. At the expense of the fund, projects of restoration of energy facilities on an innovative basis, as well as projects of greening of energy production and more, should be financed. The only criterion for the success of the Fund's functioning should be the implementation of the national project for the restoration, modernization and development of the electric power industry in accordance with the planned terms, volumes and budgets.

The article discusses the importance and role of educational institutions in the development and management of social responsibility. The view of the activities of educational institutions in two directions is formed: the first, when an educational institution prepares socially responsible students, the second - as an institution is socially responsible to stakeholders. The definitions of a socially responsible higher education institution and a socially responsible university are considered. The issue of reaching all students at different levels on the issue of social responsibility within the framework of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals is raised. Attention is focused on the management of personnel of educational institutions within the framework of social responsibility, in particular personal responsibility, and promising areas of work are outlined. It is found that the implementation of European norms and standards in the educational services market by Ukrainian educational institutions will contribute to the enhancement of "European cultural identity and integration into the European intellectual, educational, scientific and technical space".

У статті розглянуто різні підходи до визначення диджиталізації та їх вплив на організаційний процес. Проведений аналіз методологічного підходу, який підкреслює комплексний характер диджиталізації та його вплив на культуру, організаційні зміни та стратегічне планування. Також проаналізовано технологічний підхід, який акцентує увагу на використанні цифрових технологій для поліпшення бізнес-процесів та робочих потоків. В статті розглянуто організаційний підхід, який розглядає важливість культурної трансформації, організаційних змін та стратегічного планування як складових процесу диджиталізації. На основі аналізу останніх досліджень та публікацій зроблено висновок про необхідність поєднання цих трьох підходів для успішної диджиталізації. У статті зроблено акцент на значенні глибокого розуміння цих підходів та їх взаємодії, а також відкритості до змін і інновацій у всіх аспектах організації.

У публікації висвітлено проблеми розвитку молодіжногопідприємництва. Однією з форм підтримки майбутніх молодих підприємців позиціоновано консультування. Сприяння молодіжному підприємництву має потенціали соціального розвитку, оскільки це дає змогу здобувачампрофесійної освіти і випускникам закладів П(ПТ)О підвищити свій рівень захисту від безробіття та забезпечення самозайнятості, створення робочих місць для інших, таким чином підвищуючи власний рівень життя та стандарти найближчого оточення, одночасно зменшуючи бідність і утворюючи стійкі засоби повноцінного буття. За результатами дослідженьзроблено висновок, що надто мала роль молоді у підприємницькій діяльності, ймовірно, й надалі викликатиме занепокоєння серед заінтересованих сторін, якщо в процесі оволодіння основами підприємницької діяльності і фінансової грамотності не буде запроваджено ефективне консультування для вирішення означених у публікації проблем.

Rising fuel prices and global warming are two major issues that concern people today. In this paper, the effect that the integration of the hybrid photovoltaic (PV)/wind-turbine generation can have on conservation of energy and reduction of greenhouse gases (GHGs) has been studied. Base-case energy demands were calculated using building energy simulation software and then the residential buildings were equipped with the PV/wind-turbine electricity generation devices. The results show that the integration of those equipments can reduce both cost of fuel and GHG emissions to a fair amount.
