Assessment of radius of curvature along the existing road networks
Authors: V. V. Pattabhiram Yegulla , Sravana P.
Published: April 2024

The safety of traffic on roads is greatly influenced by various geometric features such as the radius of curvature, lane width, median width, and sight distance. The radius of the curve is an important parameter, that influences sight distance, design speed, and other parameters like superelevation, etc. For smaller radius curves the sight distance available also will be less, which will increase accident risks. The lower the radius of the curve, the lesser will be the sight distance, and so higher the accident risk (Abebe, 2019). The objective of this paper is to develop a tool for assessing the radius of curvature along existing road networks. This will help in accident analysis to develop a correlation between the radius of the curvature and the number of accidents. Mapping of the radius of curvature along the existing road will be useful for evaluating the existing roads and for rating in terms of road safety based on the available sight distance and radius of curvature, for asset management systems where the radius of curvature is required to be fed into the system for identifying locations where accident risks are more (blackspots) etc. It is practically difficult to measure the radius at every curve all along the road and it takes a long time. The simplest way is to obtain the data from the “As-built” drawings. In the absence of the as-built information, it becomes extremely difficult to map the parameters of an existing network. The paper proposed a novel but simplified procedure for evaluating the radius of curvature of the existing roads. The researcher developed a VBA code that can automatically extract the radius of the curves along a path for the data obtained from Aerial LiDAR or GPS-enabled Car Dashboard Camera. The VBA code computes the existing radius along a path using coordinate geometry in the CAD environment. The paper also presents the data validation on a few roads whose geometric parameters are known from the design data.
Simple admission control procedure for QoS packet switched military networks
Authors: Duda Damian , Burakowski Wojciech
Published: April 2024

Providing quality of service (QoS) into the networks based on the packet switched technologies, as ATM and IP, is currently the challenge for the military communi cation system designers. The main element for achieving QoS capabilities is to implement effective admission control (AC) function, which regulates the volume of submitted traffic to the network. The traditional approach for the AC is that it is invoked by each call requesting QoS. As a consequence, the call set-up latency is increasing and, in addition, the signaling traffic in the network is growing. This paper proposes a simple AC method that is based on the online traffic load measurements and assumes that the AC is involved only when the load exceeds a predefined threshold. As a consequence, for most of the connections the AC is not necessary to be executed and this causes lower set-up phase duration and limits the volume of signaling traffic. The numerical results showing effectiveness of the approach are included and compared with traditional AC performing.
New model of identity checking in telecommunication digital channels
Authors: Gajewski Piotr Z. , Łopatka Jerzy , Piotrowski Zbigniew
Published: April 2024

We proposed an OFDM and watermarking based technology system for correspondent identity verification (CIVS) in military telecommunication digital channels. Correspondent personal identity signature (CPIS) is represented by digital watermark. The main idea of this system solution is to verify the end user who sends acoustic signal, e.g., speech, music, etc., via Internet, HF/UHF radio, modem, etc. OFDM modulation scheme is used to prepare secret digital signature. This signature is a single-use secret key used for correspondent verification, thus binary sequence of that key is changing for every session. We describe transmitter and receiver block scheme. The results of experiments for both ideal and degraded signals are described in details too. The results are summarized with comments and conclusion.
Distribution of the best nonzero differential and linear approximations of s-box functions
Authors: Chmiel Krzysztof
Published: April 2024

In the paper the differential and the linear approximations of two classes of s-box functions are considered. The classes are the permutations and arbitrary functions with n binary inputs and m binary outputs, where 1≤n=m≤10. For randomly chosen functions from each of the classes, the two-dimensional distributions of the best nonzero approximations are investigated. The obtained results indicate that starting from some value of n, the linear approximation of s-box functions becomes more effective than the differential approximation. This advantage of the linear approximation rises with the increase of n and for DES size s-boxes is not yet visible.

Multiple criteria and multiple periods performance analysis: the comparison of telecommunications sectors in the Maghreb countries
Authors: Colson Gerard , Sabri Karim , Mbangala Augustin Mapapa
Published: April 2024

In four Maghreb countries (Algeria, Morocco, Mauritania and Tunisia), a considerable improvement of the situation of the telecommunication operators has been noticed during the nineties. The evolution in these countries was very different depending on their economic policies, their effort of reorganization of their telecommunication sector and their technological change. Theses differences will be exhibited and analysed by comparing the operators’ performances over a decade (1992–2001). A first approach is based on the Malmquist DEA TFP index for measuring the total factors productivity change, decomposed into technical efficiency change and technological changes. Second, using the Promethee II method and the software ARGOS, a multiple criteria analysis is performed, taking into account a larger scope of analysis. A main issue is that the general performance ranking of sets of operators by country is almost the same according to the two methods, although the variables of inputs and output used for the index of Malmquist are different and narrower in the considered scope than the chosen families of criteria used in method Promethee and software ARGOS. Both methods of analysis provide however complementary useful detailed information, especially in discriminating the technological and management progresses for Malmquist and the two dimensions of performance for Promethee: that are the service to the community and the enterprises performances, often in conflict.
Designing WDM networks by a variable neighborhood search
Authors: Melián-Batista Belén , H ¨oller Holger , Voß Stefan
Published: April 2024

With the ever-rising data volume that is demanded by the market, network planning in order to minimize the necessary investment while meeting the demands is constantly an important task for the network providers. Synchronous digital hierarchy (SDH) and wavelength division multiplex (WDM) form the core of many current backbone networks. In order to solve the provisioning and routing problem in such WDM networks, we develop a variable neighborhood search (VNS) metaheuristic. VNS is a metaheuristic that combines series of random and improving local searches based on systematically changed neighborhoods. An integer flow formulation is modeled in AMPL and solved by CPLEX in order to obtain optimal solutions as a reference for the heuristic.

Design and Development of a UDP-Based Connection-Oriented Multi-Stream One-to-Many Communication Protocol
Authors: Stanciu Valentin , Andreica Mugurel Ionut¸ , Olaru Vlad , T¸ ˘apus Nicolae
Published: April 2024

A communication protocol is a set of rules defined formally that describes the format of digital messages and the rules for exchanging those messages in or between computing systems. The Internet Protocol Suite used for communications throughout the Internet uses encapsulation to provide a way of abstracting protocols and services. This abstraction is grouped into layers of general functionality. For protocols on the transmission layer, many choices exist. But while popular protocols such as TCP, UDP and SCTP do provide connection oriented communication offering reliability, ordering and data integrity, solutions that offer such connections from one point to multiple endpoints are still limited. TCP only supports point-to-point communication and SCTP offers multi-homing functionality, but the transmission is still limited to two logical endpoints. In this paper we use the simple, stateless, transmission model of UDP in order to provide TCP-like services for one-to-many communication that is not limited to just multi-homing or other particular solutions. The protocol supports reliable communication from one endpoint to multiple endpoints in different transmission modes. In order to make it easier for developers to customize the protocol to their needs and possibly extend/modify it in order to create new variants from it, the protocol is developed in user space. Because of this design restriction performance wasn’t the main objective of our work, but rather the ease of customization and experimentation with new protocol variants. The protocol was implemented in the C++ programming language using classes with virtual members. New variants of components, such as packet retransmission, can easily be implemented without changing the whole code base.
Secure-Sim-G: Security-Aware Grid Simulator – Basic Concept and Structure
Authors: Gębczyński Grzegorz , Kołodziej Joanna , Khan Samee Ullah
Published: April 2024

Task scheduling and resource allocation are the key issues for computational grids. Distributed resources usually work at different autonomous domains with their ownaccess and security policies that impact successful job executions across the domain boundaries. In this paper we present a security-aware grid simulator Secure-Sim-G, which facilitates the evaluation of the different scheduling heuristics under various scheduling criteria in several grid scenarios defined by the security conditions, grid size and system dynamics. The simulator allows the flexible activation or inactivation of all of the scheduling criteria and modules, which makes the application well adapted to the proper illustration of the different realistic scenarios and avoids the possible restriction to the specific scheduling resolution methods. The simulation results and traces may be graphically represented and stored at the server and can retrieved in different formats such as spreadsheets or pdf files.
Hierarchical Multiobjective Routing Model in MPLS Networks with Two Service Classes – A Comparison Case Study
Authors: Gir ˜ao-Silva Rita , Craveirinha Jos´e , Cl´ımaco Jo ˜ao
Published: April 2024

A two-level hierarchical multicriteria routing model for multiprotocol label switching networks with two service classes (QoS, i.e., with quality of service requirements, and best effort services) and alternative routing is reviewed in this paper. A heuristic resolution approach, where nondominated solutions are obtained throughout the heuristic run and kept in an archive for further analysis is also reviewed. In this paper, an extensive analysis of the application of this procedure to two reference test networks for various traffic matrices is presented. Also a comparison of the results of our method with a lexicographic optimization approach based on a multicommodity flow formulation using virtual networks is carried out. Finally, results of a stochastic discrete event simulation model developed for these networks will be shown to illustrate the effectiveness of the resolution approach and to assess the inaccuracies of the analytic results.
Effective Design of the Simulated Annealing Algorithm for the Flowshop Problem with Minimum Makespan Criterion
Authors: Hurkała Jarosław , Hurkała Adam
Published: April 2024

In this paper we address the n-job, m-machine flowshop scheduling problem with minimum completion time (makespan) as the performance criterion. We describe an efficient design of the Simulated Annealing algorithm for solving approximately this NP-hard problem. The main difficulty in implementing the algorithm is no apparent analogy for the temperature as a parameter in the flowshop combinatorial problem. Moreover, the quality of solutions is dependent on the choice of cooling scheme, initial temperature, number of iterations, and the temperature decrease rate at each step as the annealing proceeds. We propose how to choose the values of all the aforementioned parameters, as well as the Boltzmann factor for the Metropolis scheme. Three perturbation techniques are tested and their impact on the solutions quality is analyzed. We also compare a heuristic and randomly generated solutions as initial seeds to the annealing optimization process. Computational experiments indicate that the proposed design provides very good results – the quality of solutions of the Simulated Annealing algorithm is favorably compared with two different heuristics.
On the Influence of Network Impairments on YouTube Video Streaming
Authors: Biernacki Arkadiusz , Metzger Florian , Tutschku Kurt
Published: April 2024

Video sharing services like YouTube have become very popular which consequently results in a drastic shift of the Internet traffic statistic. When transmitting video content over packet based networks, stringent quality of service (QoS) constraints must be met in order to provide the comparable level of quality to a traditional broadcast television. However, the packet transmission is influenced by delays and losses of data packets which can have devastating influence on the perceived quality of the video. Therefore, we conducted an experimental evaluation of HTTP based video transmission focusing on how they react to packet delay and loss. Through this analysis we investigated how long video playback is stalled and how often re-buffering events take place. Our analysis revealed threshold levels for the packet delay, packet losses and network throughput which should not be exceeded in order to preserve smooth video transmission.

These concepts and methods are illustrated by examples.
Educating on Wireless Solutions for Environmental Monitoring
Authors: Radicella Sandro , Strużak Ryszard , Zennaro Marco
Published: April 2024

Environmental monitoring is of growing interest around the globe and there is a clear need for better education in this area. However, the progress is incredibly fast here and wireless sensor networking is a relatively new area of research, so no standard curricula are available yet. In 2012, the International School “Sustainable Wireless ICT Solutions for Environmental Monitoring” was organized by the International Center for Theoretical Physics (ICTP) in collaboration with a few other entities. The school aimed at exposing young scientists from around the world to the newest wireless solutions for environmental monitoring. The school was followed by an awareness conference, which aimed at identifying issues that would benefit from a wider scientific collaboration. This paper begins with general information about the ICTP educational activities related to wireless technologies and applications. Then it focuses on the program of the school and conference. It shows what topics were included (and what were disregard) and what approaches were applied in order to achieve the best results with the (very) limited resources available. Details are omitted here as the complete materials of the both events are available at the Internet (http://wireless.ictp.it) under the Creative Commons.

Fading Duration in Line-of-sight Radio Links at 6 GHz
Authors: Bogucki Jan , Wielowieyska Ewa
Published: April 2024

Broadband fixed wireless access, local multipoint distribution service networks are promising wireless solutions to connect fixed users to the backbone network instead of wired copper or fiber optic networks, via point-to-multipoint cellular networks. Channel capacity is of primary importance in broadband fixed wireless access networks due to increasing demand for multimedia services and possibility of providing wireless internet. Modern radio transmission systems are specifically designed for meeting two main objectives: to provide a solution for long distance networks with high transmission capacity, and to guarantee the highest link quality. Availability of a radio-relay system is very important and dependent on many factors, particularly propagation conditions in the troposphere. The article describes wave propagation that determines the performance of a radio-relay path at 6 GHz. Attenuation of received signal level measured in this frequency range depends on propagation condition on terrestrial path. Examples of measured fading duration of are presented.

Shifting Architectures: A Response to Severe Weather on the Tutukākā Coast
Authors:   , Heswall Zoe
Published: April 2024

Many of Aotearoa’s coastal communities become isolated during severe weather events. Predictions state that severe weather events across Aotearoa will increase in intensity and frequency due to changing climates, leaving coastal communities and environments vulnerable to temperature changes, storm surges and rising sea levels. This proposal investigates how coastal architecture could aid in building resilience in communities and environments along the Tutukākā Coast in response to intensifying weather events. Research through design is the methodology of this proposal, where interpretive, quantitative, and qualitative data collected is translated into architectural outcomes through design exploration and reflection. The research led to three design outcomes (Shelter, Adapt, and Retreat) which explored how resilience building through different scales and periods. Long-term architectural strategies that sustainably address the sociological and ecological context holistically are the most effective response to intensifying weather events.
Exploring Young People’s Understandings of Health and Healthy Lifestyles: A Qualitative Investigation
Authors:   , Cam Grace
Published: April 2024

Mainstream understandings of health in New Zealand have primarily revolved around Westernised white, middle-class viewpoints, emphasising individuality and personal accountability for health outcomes. This thesis explores how young people understand and talk about health and healthy lifestyles in a healthist society. The study holds importance given the limited research conducted on the health experiences of young people in New Zealand, highlighting the need for a more comprehensive understanding to enhance healthcare and overall well-being. This research utilises critical realism as its theoretical framework to recognise the dynamic relationship between empirical reality, social structures, and the fundamental mechanisms that shape social reality. Thematic analysis (TA) is employed as the analytical method. Data is drawn from one section of a large qualitative research project and consists of semi-structured interviews with 25 young Aucklanders between the ages of 16 and 20 as participants. Key findings suggest that young people understand health as a matter of dietary habits, exercise routines, and sleep practices, which are also closely tied to physical attractiveness and thinness. The study also highlights the contradictory ways participants talked about where responsibility for health lies: individual autonomy, on the one hand, and the significance of social assistance, on the other. The study delves into the intricate relationship between choices regarding health, societal standards, and different facets of overall wellness in the early stages of adulthood. Overall, the results point to the continuing power of healthism and suggest an ongoing need to eliminate obstacles, question societal conventions, and address socioeconomic disparities to support health behaviours and healthy lifestyles and to enable young adults to take charge of their health and lead more balanced lives.
Environmentální krize a konec filosofie
Authors: Korda Tomáš
Published: April 2024

Prostřednictvím Hegelovy filosofie ducha předkládaná studie usiluje ospravedlnit Descartovo „umrtvení“ přírody na res extensa jakožto výlučnou podmínku možnosti řešení environmentální krize. Odhaluje, že moderní vykořisťující vztah člověka k přírodě není základem environmentální krize, nýbrž základem jejího řešení. Toto odhalení odvrací naši pozornost od (teoretického) soustředění se na základ a nutí vyjít vstříc (praktickému) každodennímu životu. Toto „překonání zprostředkování“ ústí ve stanovisko „reflektované naivity“, které ví, že nemá „přehodnocovat“ kapitalismem institucionalizovaný instrumentální vztah člověka k přírodě, nýbrž ho konsekventně naplňovat, aby lidstvo vymáhalo energii z přírody ještě efektivnějším způsobem a tím vytlačilo z trhu způsob méně účinný. Příslibem je, že ještě efektivnější vymáhání energie z přírody dovolí ponechat přírodu zasaženou méně účinným vymáháním nedotčenou ve smyslu Heideggerova konceptu Gelassenheit.

Kebutuhan primer manusia salah satunya adalah membangun dan memiliki tempat tinggal. Rumah memiliki peran penting dalam kehidupan. Rumah juga menjadi sebuah awal peradaban dimana dari rumah kita dapat belajar banyak hal. Sehingga, tanpa adanya tempat tinggal manusia akan mengalami kesulitan melakukan kegiatan dan bertahan hidup. Sebuah tempat tinggal juga harus memenuhi kriteria layak huni agar penghuni dapat merasa aman dan nyaman saat didalam rumah tersebut. Namun faktanya tidak semua rumah masuk kedalam kategori layak huni, salah satu faktor utamanya diakibatkan oleh kemiskinan ekstrim. Di Indonesia, kemiskinan ekstrim mampu diakibatkan oleh banyak faktor, salah satunya adalah masyarakat yang memiliki penghasilan yang rendah. Kemiskinan ekstrim ini juga dapat berpengaruh besar terhadap kondisi tempat tinggal. Salah satu provinsi termiskin di Indonesia adalah Provinsi Nusa Tenggara Timur dengan persentase kemiskinan perkotaan dan perdesaan dengan jumlah sebesar 20.50%. hasil ini diperoleh oleh Badan Pusat Statistik (BPS) pada bulan Maret 2022.

„Kto by obraz Pana Jezusa z cerkwi czemerowskiej ukradł?”O losach obrazu Chrystusa Czemerowsko‑Buchowickiego
Authors: Barysenka Volha
Published: April 2024

In the Polish‑Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as later in those lands belonging to the Russian Empire, miraculous images had supra‑confessional cult. One of them was a miraculous image of Our Lord of Chamiary‑Bukhavichy, which cult dates back to the second half of the 18th century, when the image was in a private possession. After a dream vision, the image was placed into an Uniate church in Chamiary, when it was quickly acknowledged to be wonder‑working. Once at night the image was stolen from the church and later appeared in the Dominican cloister in Bukhavichy. The investigation showed that it was taken from the church by initial owner. After the partition of the Russian Empire, when the Uniate church in Bukhavichy was turned to Orthodoxy, the Orthodox priest claimed the image to have Orthodox origin and had been stolen by the Dominicans. The image, however, remained in Catholic possession and was brought to Kobryn catholic church when the Dominican cloister was closed and turned to an Orthodox church.
TEZKİRELERDE MEV’İZE: LATÎFÎ TEZKİRESİ ÖRNEĞİ
Authors: Çelik Recep

Tezkireler, önde gelen şahsiyetlerin hayatları ve eserleri hakkında bilgi veren eserlerdir. Toplumun ahlaki değerlerini yüceltmek ve bunları insanlara telkinde bulunmak yani öğütlemek amacıyla yazılan eserler değildir. Ancak dolaylı yollardan insanların etik değerleri anlamalarına ve olumlu örneklerle ilham almalarına salık verebilmektedir. Doğrudan bu amaçla yazılmayan tezkireler, biyografik bilgilerin yanı sıra bu bakış açısıyla değerlendirildiğinde ahlaki öğüt ve tavsiyeleri içeren eserlerden sayılabilir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda bu türün nasıl kullanıldığını incelemek, Osmanlı kültürünün izlerini taşıyan klasik Türk edebiyatının derinliklerine dair önemli bir bakış açısı sunacaktır. Nitekim tezkirelerde ele alınan şahsiyetlerin farklı ve de özel vasıflarıyla toplumda örnek sayılabilecek ve dönemin insanlarına rol model olarak gösterilebilecek kısaca ahlaki erdemi yücelten şahsiyetlerden bazılarıdır, denebilir. Bu bağlamda erdemli insanların hayatlarından kesitler sunan tezkirelere dair toplum için örnek davranışların yer aldığı bir seçki demek mümkündür. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda bu makalede Latîfî Tezkiresi’nin ahlaki bir perspektiften nasıl değerlendirilebileceği ve okuyucuların karakter gelişimine nasıl katkı sağlayabileceği incelenecektir.
Rāmāyaṇa ve Mahābhārata Destanlarındaki Kadın Karakterler Üzerine Bir Değerlendirme
Authors: Yoğurt Canan
Published: April 2024

Destanlar, kültürel kimliğin bir parçası olmakla birlikte değerlerin, ahlaki ilkelerin, toplumsal ve dini öğretilerin nesilden nesile aktarılmasında, kültürel birlikteliğin sağlanmasında ve tarihi olayların kavranmasında önemli bir kaynaktır. Bu açıdan Hint destanları, Hint mitolojisinin ve kültürünün önemli bir parçasını oluşturur. Bu destanlardan hem Rāmāyaṇa’da hem de Mahābhārata’da, karmaşık karakterler, ahlaki dersler, mitolojik ögeler ve dramatik olaylar yer almaktadır. Bu çalışmada; Hindistan’ın ilk destanı olduğu düşünülen Rāmāyaṇa ve en uzun destanı olan Mahābhārata’da geçen kadın karakterlerin toplumsal normlar çerçevesinde derinlemesine analizi yapılmıştır. Antik dönem Hint edebiyatı ve mitolojisi genel olarak Vedik ve Epik dönem olarak ele alınabilir. Vedik dönem Veda metinlerinin yazıldığı dönemi, Epik dönem ise destanlar dönemini kapsar. Epik dönem kendinden önceki Vedik dönemden izler taşıdığından bu iki dönemi birbirinden bağımsız ele almak bu çalışma açısından değerlendirildiğinde yeterli olmayacaktır. Literatürdeki diğer Veda dönemi kadın çalışmalarından farklı olarak, Vedalar sonrası dönemde yazılmış olan bu destanlarda hayat bulmuş kadın figürlerinin karşılaştırılmalı olarak tasnifi ve tahlili yapılarak yorumlanması sağlanmıştır. Destanlarda adları geçen kadın karakterler ve temsil ettikleri kimlikler bakımından değerlendirildiklerinde; bedenî özellikleri bakımından kadınlar, ifrit kadınlar, insanların ve tanrıların dostu olan mitolojik kadınlar ve ifritler, ermiş kadınlar, tanrıça bedenlenmesindeki kadınlar ve tanrıçalar olduğu görülmüştür. Rāmāyaṇa ve Mahābhārata destanlarındaki kadın figürler oluşturulan bu kategoriye göre daha yakından incelendiğinde bazı kadın karakterlerin çoklu kimliklerinin bulunduğu saptanmıştır.

La energía geotérmica se alza como una fuente renovable y sostenible con un inmenso potencial para diversificar la matriz energética de Colombia. El país ha dado pasos importantes al implementar normativas que regulan el uso de esta forma de energía, llevando a cabo programas piloto destacados, como la central de energía geotérmica impulsada por el Ministerio de Minas y Energía (MinEnergía) junto con la Universidad Nacional de Colombia. Dado que estas regulaciones son recientes, se plantea la necesidad de realizar un análisis comparativo entre leyes, decretos y resoluciones publicados recientemente por el MinEnergía con las normativas de países más avanzados en el uso de esta energía no convencional, como Indonesia, México, Estados Unidos, entre otros. Esto se realiza mediante tablas que permitan la comparación de incentivos tributarios y requisitos técnicos con fines de generación de energía eléctrica a través de la geotermia, y así determinar cómo se encuentra la normativa actual de Colombia y qué se podría implementar o mejorar en ella. También se realizaron 18 diagramas de flujo que facilitan la comprensión de las normativas actualmente publicadas por el MinEnergía (Ley 1715 de 2014, Ley 2099 de 2021, Decreto 1318 de 2022 y Resolución 40302 de 2022) y que, además, brindan una orientación de los procedimientos que se deben seguir a la hora de realizar un proyecto de exploración o explotación de energía geotérmica. Finalmente, se darán recomendaciones sobre aspectos que pueden implementarse en la normativa actual de Colombia entre los resultados y conclusiones, destacando la importancia de un marco normativo sólido para el avance de la energía geotérmica en el país. La comprensión de estas regulaciones es esencial para maximizar el potencial de esta fuente de energía renovable y contribuir a un futuro energético más limpio y diversificado.

The digital world has inevitably entered various fields of human life in carrying out their duties as world leaders. Technology is an important tool to ease the human workload, including in this discourse is human resource management. This study aims to reveal the perceptions of Taxable Entrepreneurs (PKP) and the Tax Service Office (KPP) on the implementation of e-invoicing and the impact of e-invoicing on taxpayer compliance. The focus of this research is to reveal PKP's perception of the implementation of e-invoicing from the aspects of inputting, data processing, and output. KPP perceptions from the aspects of tax administration and tax evidence, and taxpayer compliance assessed from the aspects of calculation, deposit and reporting. This research is qualitative research with a case study approach. Data analysis is carried out interactively starting from data collection, data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. According to PKP, the advantages of e-invoicing are more efficient processing time, more accurate tax calculation results, easier and safer storage because it has a QR code, but the weaknesses of e-invoicing are repetitive work in inputting input tax values, the system is not yet able to read invoice codes and the application is vulnerable to viruses. According to KPP, the application of e-invoicing is very helpful for the tax office in fully controlling in real time all tax invoices uploaded and reported by PKP. From the research results, there is not enough evidence that e-invoicing has an impact on improving taxpayer compliance, especially in tax calculations. According to the Tax Office, the application of e-invoicing can improve taxpayer administrative compliance in terms of calculating, depositing and reporting so that tax revenue will be increased.

Start-up adalah teknologi inkubasi yang didirikan oleh beberapa orang atau lebih untuk mendapatkan keuntungan. Perkembangan start-up di Indonesia berkembang dengan pesat. Perkembangan start-up juga memasuki ranah Pondok Pesantren Begitu pula yang terjadi pada Pondok Pesantren Alam Sayang Ibu (PAMSI), Dasan Geriya, Lingsar Lombok Barat. PAMSI memiliki visi menjadi salah satu pesantren yang islami, professional, unggul, berwawasan lingkungan dengan kultur riset kewirausahaan secara menyeluruh dan berkelanjutan. Hal ini terbukti dengan adanya lebih dari 23 (dua puluh tiga) jenis barang dan jasa yang telah diwujudkan oleh para santri PAMSI. Jenis usaha santri yang mencakup barang dan jasa terbagi lagi menjadi beberapa kategori yaitu usaha makanan, minuman dan kreasi santri. Salah satu contohnya adalah Kopi dari Kacang hijau, Masker Kefir, Yoghurt dari bunga Telang, Abon ares (pelepah pisang), Kaktus hampers, Kotak mewarnai dan masih banyak produk yang dihasilkan serta dapat berdaya saing nasional maupun internasional. Berdasarkan hal tersebut diatas, diperlukan sebuah sistem berbasis website untuk dapat memfasilitasi santri untuk dapat berjualan dan memulai start-up berbasis pesantren. Website dipilih karena penggunaannya yang mudah, cepat dan terintegrasi dengan platform yang lain. Pembangunan sistem start-up menggunakan metode extreme programming (XP). XP juga memudahkan komunikasi antara user dengan pembuat sistem sehingga didapatkan user requirement yang memadai. Hasil pengujian menghasilkan kepuasan pengguna dalam menggunakan sistem start-up PAMSI.
