Here is a revised problem statement for the Condominium Management System project:
Currently, condominium management in Malaysia relies heavily on manual processes. Administrators use paper-based methods to communicate information and announcements to residents, track maintenance requests, collect fees, and manage other day-to-day operations. This manual system is inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to errors. It also makes it difficult for residents to access important documents and submit service requests electronically.
A digital condominium management system is needed to streamline operations, improve communication and service, and reduce costs. The system would allow administrators to easily distribute notices, track maintenance tasks, and view payment records online. Residents could submit service requests, view documents

The success of the network may be due to complementing the traditional top-down knowledge sharing approach with a bottom-up induction approach. Future challenges include incorporating top-down knowledge and unlocking captured information for future use.
During week 6 we develop the theory and application of capital bud.docxjacksnathalie
During week 6 we develop the theory and application of capital budget analysis. The theory was robust, the calculations mathematically and logically defined, and many of the real-world problems, likely to be encountered, were addressed. As capital budgeting essentially re-invents the company through major long-term expenditures it is arguably one of the most critical functions that financial management performs. However, based on my personal experiences, extensive empirical data, and antidotal data - many firms routinely experience significant failures in their selection of capital projects.
The assignment for this topic consists if two parts:
1) For your first topic in this conference I would like for you to briefly review either your personal experiences and/or the financial literature to identify and present a description of one actual capital project/product failure and the reasons attributed to the failure. For those of you who do not have personal experiences the following are some illustrated examples of failed projects/products over the last 50 years you may want to look up and consider: -New Coke,- The Iridium Satellite Communication,- the Edsel automobile, Beta (vs. VHS), the Concord SST, and various Dot Coms. Feel free to research others.
In your response please provide financial information regarding the project (what is available): initial outlay, projected cash flows, final dollar losses.
Remember this is a one to two paragraph exercise - do not go overboard - a few hours research and summation is all that’s required. I am interested only in your short, concise description of the project and the major reasons you believe it failed.
2) Synthesize your one-paragraph position on what 3-5 specific factors you believe most likely to contribute to capital project analysis failure.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoringIJECEIAES
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.

Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.

REASONS FOR MAINTAINING AND
PROMOTING GOOD STANDARDS OF
HEALTH AND SAFETY
Unit IGC1: Element 1.2
Why Manage Health and Safety?
Legal (or social) reasons.
Moral (or human)reasons.
Financial (or Economic) reasons.
Moral: Employer owes a duty of reasonable care to their employees as human
life is precious and because of the humanitarian consideration. Society expects
employers to ensure the health and safety of their workforce. It is morally
unacceptable to place employees in situations where their health and safety is at
risk.
Legal: Employer has a social responsibility to the employee of giving safe place
& environment, safe tools, safe system of work, training & supervision. Failure of
these can lead to injury or death ,thereby resulting in legal implications like
enforcement actions and prosecution.
Enforcement actions can be by improvement notices or prohibition notices.
Prosecution can be fines/compensations or imprisonment by criminal case
To avoid these ,we require to keep good health & safety standards
Financial: To avoid the below said costs from accidents, we need safety
Direct – measurable costs arising directly from accidents. Eg: First-aid treatment,
sick pay, lost production time. Fines and compensation to court
Indirect – arise as a consequence of the event but may not directly involve money.
Often difficult to quantify. E.g.: Lost time for investigation. Lost morale and
damaged worker relationships. Cost of recruitment of replacement
staff & their training .Lost reputation & future works
