A Multi-Criteria Utility Approach to Bridge Maintenance Prioritization
Authors: Gokasar Ilgin , Okur Isik
Published: February 2025

Maintaining bridges optimally presents a challenge for the decision-makers because of the complexity of the objectives. Bridges should have a maintenance planning system for a better organization and controlling mechanism. These systems allow the decision-making process to be performed simpler and the limited public fund to be spent better. In this study, the multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) is applied as a practical multi-objective decision-making method to prioritize 20 bridge networks in Western Turkey. The objective of this study is to use MAUT to a bridge maintenance problem in Turkey and providing improvements to the existing Turkish bridge management system (BMS) decision-making method in the literature. The criteria list given in the Turkish BMS is reexamined, and one more criterion is added. The current prioritization method is replaced with the MAUT approach to explain the uncertainty situation by taking the risk preferences of the decision-makers. Additionally, the additive utility independence assumption of MAUT is inquired to avoid a suboptimal solution for bridge maintenance planning. The results show that how calculating risk preferences, interrogating more decision-makers with different expertise, and adding a new objective criterion might change the priority order for the same dataset.

Published: February 2025

This research investigates an alternative management strategy involving different nipping dates in chickpea cultivation to reduce the reliance on chemical pesticides for food legumes. The current study conducted during the 2022-23 that utilized a randomized complete block design (RCBD). A total of six treatments, consisting of both nipping and non-nipping methods, were implemented starting December 1, 2022, with subsequent treatments applied at 15-day intervals (December 1, December 15, December 30, January 15, and January 30, 2023). A control group was maintained without nipping, allowing for natural growth, to assess the impact of pod borer infestation. The findings indicate that nipping at earlier dates significantly diminished pest infestations and improved grain yields compared to both later nipping and the control group. However, the study's findings may have limitations due to their dependence on specific environmental conditions and the focus on a single growing season, which could affect broader applicability. This research underscores the advantages of early nipping in enhancing yields and minimizing pesticide usage, contributing to sustainable pest management practices in arid regions. The results advocate for the implementation of early nipping within integrated pest management strategies in similar agro-climatic environments.

Confucianism and the Political Economy of Papua New Guinea
Authors: Betty Wakia
Published: February 2025

Through an examination of the enormous impact that Confucianism has had on the political economy of PNG, this research delves into the dynamic relationship that exists between cultural values and the consequences that these values have for economic growth and governance. This study provides insight into the cultural forces that are creating PNG's socioeconomic landscape by exploring the deep linkages that exist between Confucian ideals and PNG's circumstances. The study's findings indicate that the impact of Confucianism is limited and indirect. Despite some similarities in moral principles and respect for authority, PNG's historical, cultural, and geographical circumstances significantly differ from those of Confucian-inspired cultures. Indigenous cultures, the history of colonialism, and democratic values all play a role in shaping the economic growth of PNG. There are many different elements that contribute to the creation of distinctive approaches to economic governance and development. These aspects include global markets, resources, investments, and traditions. The cultural and historical settings of PNG act as a mediator between the Confucian principles and their indirect effect. The foundation of democracy, markets, and pluralism distinguishes the economic institutions of PNG from models inspired by Confucianism. It is essential to acknowledge PNG's unique political economy in order to develop specialised measures that address issues and capitalise on strengths. The purpose of this study is to provide useful insights into the transformational potential of cultural influences on the political economy of PNG by conducting a complete examination of Confucian doctrines and their possible relevance in the country. Once again, policymakers must use cultural factors to align tactics with PNG's specific requirements and goals
Patronage Politics as a Failure of Governance in Papua New Guinea
Authors: Betty Wakia
Published: February 2025

Papua New Guineans use the word "kaikaimanism" to characterize a political system whereby goods or services are exchanged for political backing, perhaps including an either explicit or implicit quid pro quo. It often involves behaviors driven by self-interest or the anticipation of return. The purpose of this article is to investigate the variables that contribute to the kaikaimanist approach to politics, which has such a negative influence on PNG's political and economic performance. The most likely explanation for the rise and persistence of patron-client politics is that voters are ignorant about the potential outcomes of their votes and the range of political options available to them. A further aspect that contributes to the perpetuation of this impression is the ongoing decline of institutions, such as those in charge of peace and order, which has led to the idea that better political choices are not accessible

Authors: Meet Prajapati , Alka Parmar , Vidani Jignesh
Published: February 2025

This study explores consumer satisfaction regarding electric vehicles (EVs) and petrol vehicles in Ahmedabad, India, focusing on key factors such as performance, fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, environmental concerns, and infrastructure availability. Using a survey of vehicle owners, the research compares attitudes towards EVs and petrol vehicles across various demographic groups. The findings reveal that while age has a weak influence on satisfaction levels, other factors like cost-effectiveness, convenience, and infrastructure availability play a more significant role in shaping consumer preferences. Despite increasing awareness of environmental issues, consumers in Ahmedabad show relatively low concern about the environmental impact of petrol vehicles. Moreover, while technological features and environmental friendliness influence satisfaction, infrastructure-related issues, particularly the accessibility of charging stations, remain a primary concern for EV owners. The study also identifies that both economic factors (such as maintenance and fuel costs) and government policies, including incentives for EV adoption, are critical drivers of satisfaction. The weak association between age and satisfaction suggests that strategies for promoting EVs should not be solely age-dependent but should focus on broader demographic groups and practical aspects such as cost, convenience, and long-term savings. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers, automakers, and urban planners in shaping the future of electric mobility in India and other emerging.

China's Economic Transformation Strategy: A Model for Papua New Guinea Development
Authors: Wakia Betty
Published: February 2025

Before 1978, China was indisputably among the most destitute countries globally and was on the brink of total macroeconomic failure. Therefore, in 1978, the nation implemented a market-oriented economic reform and has since emerged as the world's fastest-expanding economy. When adjusted for buying power parity, China's GDP has surpassed that of any other country in the world and it ranks second in nominal GDP, behind only the US. In spite of its vast natural resource endowment, achieving development in PNG has proven to be elusive. Although PNG specializes in crude oil production in the Pacific region and ranks 42nd globally, it is now one of the world's poorest nations. This report analysed China's economic reform effort and its potential applicability as a model for growth in PNG. Among other things, the nation's present economic woes have turned it into a crippled giant, and this research suggested that corruption and leadership failure are to blame. This study used the documentary approach, and the data produced were subjected to qualitative analysis. The analytical discussion revealed that robust economic plans or policies, along with exceptional or visionary leadership, laid the foundation for China's economic feats. Thus, the study proposes that the present underdeveloped state of PNG's economy may be improved by putting in place efficient government, excellent leadership, more funding for education and the development of human capital, and the organization of subsistence farming into cooperative societies. Therefore, the elimination of poverty, which is linked to inadequate governance, would be eradicated, and the typical mindset of the political elite in PNG of transforming the nation into a means of accumulating money would be abandoned

As AI continues to reshape industries and job markets, understanding how the younger workforce views its implications is essential for preparing them for the evolving labor landscape. Data were collected through surveys examining various factors such as familiarity with AI, concerns about job displacement, willingness to upskill, and perceptions of AI’s role in future job creation. The study finds that Gen-Z is generally familiar with AI and views it with a mix of optimism and concern. While there is significant worry about job displacement due to automation, respondents also believe that AI can create new job opportunities. Additionally, the research highlights that educational institutions may not be adequately preparing students for an AI-integrated workforce, pointing to a need for curriculum reform. The study further reveals that Gen-Z is willing to upskill to stay relevant in an AI-driven job market, though there is little consensus on how to best achieve this. The findings have practical implications for policymakers, educators, and businesses, urging them to focus on AI literacy, upskilling programs, and the integration of AI-related content in education. Future research should explore generational differences in perceptions of AI, sector-specific impacts, and the development of effective workforce training strategies.

This research paper presents a comparative analysis of the Apple iPhone 16 Pro Max and Samsung S24 Ultra, focusing on the preferences and purchasing behavior of Generation Z consumers in Ahmedabad City. The study aims to examine how various smartphone features such as display quality, camera specifications, design, build quality, and innovative functionalities influence smartphone choices among this demographic. A survey was conducted among 164 Generation Z participants, exploring the significance of these features and the role of gender in decision-making. The results suggest that there is no significant association between gender and the importance of specific smartphone features, such as display quality, camera features, or design. Furthermore, the perception of innovative features like the S-Pen or One UI did not significantly affect preferences between the two brands. The study highlights the importance of other factors, such as overall user experience, brand loyalty, and social influences, which seem to play a more substantial role in shaping smartphone choices. Based on these findings, the paper discusses the theoretical and practical implications for smartphone brands targeting Generation Z, including the need for a shift toward emphasizing value, brand identity, and user experience rather than focusing solely on individual product features. Future research directions are suggested, such as exploring price sensitivity, social media influence, and long-term consumer behavior trends among Generation Z
