Losses experienced by the Indonesian government due to floods are predicted. It is because of the significance of population growth, closure of water catchment areas, and climate change in many regions in Indonesia. The government has tried to reduce the risk but faces insufficient funds. Therefore, new innovative funding sources are essential to overcome these limitations. One way to obtain it is through issuing Flood Catastrophe Bonds (FCB). Unfortunately, Indonesia has had no FCB price estimate until now. On the basis of this problem, this study aims to estimate the FCB price in Indonesia. The primary method used is the approximation method of the aggregate loss distribution. This method can compute the aggregate flood loss cumulative distribution function value faster. The FCB fair price estimation results are cheap because the risk of the instrument is significant. This significant risk is also proportional to the large return. Finally, further analysis shows that in Indonesia, the attachment point of the FCB has a relationship that is in line with the price, while the term of FCB does not. This research is expected to assist the Indonesian government in determining the fair price of FCB in Indonesia. This research can assist the investors in choosing FCB based on expected return, attachment point, and the term they want.

This study investigates how audit quality moderates the effect of financial performance indicators on the stock returns of Amman Stock Exchange-listed firms (ASE). The panel data analysis selected the data of 95 ASE-listed firms from 2013 through 2021. This analysis demonstrates a significant inverse relationship between a company's book value and its stock returns. A statistically negative relationship was observed between cash flow, dividends per share, and stock return. The empirical results of this study confirm the moderating influence of audit quality in the relationship between financial performance and stock return. Firstly, auditor's fees have a significant impact on the relationship between firm stock returns and EPS, BV, DPS, and cash flows (CFO). The size of the auditing firm moderates the relationship between company stock returns and EPS, DPS, and the CFO, but not with book value (BV). The auditor's opinion moderates the relationship between business stock returns and EPS, BV, and DPS but not the relationship between firm stock returns and cash flows (CFO). The study suggests that regulatory bodies like the Companies Control Department (CCD) and ASE should make sure that local audit firms in Jordan improve their audit quality to be on par with the Big 4 audit firms in order to improve their financial performance measures and stock returns.

COVID-19 detection through radiological examination is favoured since it is fast and produces more accurate results than the laboratory approach. However, when it has infected many people and put a strain on the healthcare system, the need for fast, automatic COVID-19 detection in patients has become critical. This study proposes to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray (CXR) images with a machine learning approach. The main contributions of this paper are to compare two powerful deep learning models, i.e., convolutional neural networks (CNN) and the combination of CNN and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM). In the combination model, CNN is recommended for feature extraction, and COVID-19 is classified using the features of LSTM. The dataset used in this study amounted to 4,095 CXR images, consisting of 1,400 images of normal conditions, 1,350 images of COVID-19, and 1,345 images of pneumonia. Both CNN and CNN-LSTM were executed in a similar experimental setup and evaluated using a confusion matrix. The experiment results provide evidence that the CNN-LTSM is better than the CNN deep learning model, with an overall accuracy of about 98.78%. Furthermore, it has a precision and recall of 99% and 98%, respectively. These findings will be valuable in the fast and accurate detection of COVID-19.

Due to the advances in wireless network environments, consumers/end-user behaviors continue to expand in cyberspace. Similarly, university students (i.e. universities’ consumers) can easily shift from one university to another. In recent years, decision-makers in educational organizations have faced multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in e-service adoption in order to improve quality standards and maintain students’ retention in highly competitive education environments. Generally, many required criteria in MCDM cannot be evaluated accurately since accurate data cannot be obtained from the decision makers’ assessments. Thus, this research aims to propose a decision-making model for identifying the factors that highly impact on e-service adoption in educational organizations. This new model combined the fuzzy Decision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) and fuzzy Techniques for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (fuzzy TOPSIS) to weight the interactions among the factors which were defined from a comprehensive review of literature and to determine the relative importance of these factors. The findings from our new proposed model: fuzzy DEMATEL-TOPSIS showed that environmental factors are the most important for effective e-service adoption among educational organizations in India. The proposed decision making model could guide educational organizations to improve their decisions related to technology adoption in their organizations. The conclusions and practical insights gleaned from this research could also hopefully be useful to school authorities in assisting with the adoption, acceptance, and usage of e-services.

All projects require a structure to meet project requirements and achieve established goals. This framework is called project management. Therefore, project management plays an important role in national development and economic growth. Project management includes various knowledge areas such as project integration management, project scope management, project schedule management, etc. The article focuses on the resource-constrained project scheduling known as problem so- called the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP). The RCPSP is a part of schedule management. The standard RCPSP has two important constraints, resource constraints and precedence relationships of activities during project scheduling. The objective of the problem is to optimize and minimize the project duration, subject to the above constraints. In this paper, we develop a convolutional neural network approach to solve the standard single mode RCPSP. The advantage of this algorithm over conventional methods such as metaheuristics is that it does not need to generate many solutions or populations. In this paper, the serial schedule generation scheme (SSGS) is used to schedule the project activities using an evolved convolutional neural network (CNN) as a tool to select an appropriate priority rule to filter out a candidate activity. The evolved CNN learns according to the eight project parameters, namely network complexity, resource factor, resource strength, average work per activity, etc. The above parameters are the inputs of the network and are recalculated at each step of the project planning. Moreover, the developed network has priority rules which are the outputs of the developed neural network. Therefore, after the learning process, the network can automatically select an appropriate priority rule to filter an activity from the eligible activities. In this way, the algorithm is able to schedule all project activities according to the given project constraints. Finally, the performance of the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach is investigated using standard benchmark problems from PSPLIB in comparison to the MLFNN approach and standard metaheuristics.

Today, improving machine availability is vital for industries to compete in the global market. Spare parts play an essential role in the maintenance and repair of equipment, but planning an extensive network in strategic industries with various spare parts can be very challenging due to the existence of different decision factors. The spare parts supply chain deals with inventory management issues, which necessitates considering the related decisions such as determining the stock level and order quantity. Moreover, demand uncertainty and long supply time make decision-making more complex. This paper presents a repair and supply planning model for repairable spare parts while considering a modified formulation of demand uncertainty to minimize costs. The model determines the optimal stock level, lateral transshipment, assignment of spare part orders to suppliers, equipment to repair centers, and the number of intervals over the planning horizon used in demand estimation. This research contributes to the literature by integrating recent decisions, using demand approximation by piecewise linearization, and considering backorder in warehouses evaluated by queuing models. A hybrid approach, including heuristic and genetic algorithms, is used to optimize the model using data from an oil company. The results show that using piecewise linearization and integrated repair and supply planning decisions optimizes costs and improves performance. Also, the availability is affected by the demand estimation, which necessitates precision prediction.
