Examples of Proposal Arguments

Writing an essay on transportation problems is a generally easy and simple task. When writing your essay, it is very important to be clear about what your transportation problem is and what suggestions and/or solutions that you may have. Providing a good example of your transportation problem is also a must, as it will help your reader understand your frustrations. An essay that has clarity and examples makes a convincing read.

Writing an Essay on Transportation Problems

Construct and develop your thesis for your essay on transportation problems. You can place the thesis in the beginning of your opening paragraph, in the middle or use it as your last sentence. Your thesis should be the main emphasis of your essay and reflect its main idea. For instance, if your essay is dealing with transportation problems at a busy intersection, your thesis could be that the busy intersection is dangerous and that a traffic light needs to be installed for safety concerns. Your thesis can really be anything you want it to be, as long as it is relevant to your transportation problems essay.

Write the body paragraphs of your transportation essay using pertinent examples regarding your transportation problems. There is no better way to help convince your reader of your point than by providing relevant examples, especially regarding transportation problems. Most drivers have been annoyed by transportation issues, whether they were construction delays, dangerous intersections, heavy traffic or bad drivers. It is important to provide good examples in your essay so you can illustrate your perspective. You might want to support your thesis with information from your local, state or federal transportation departments.

Write the conclusion of your essay using your suggestions for improving the transportation problems highlighted in your essay. The conclusion is important, as you want to leave the reader with a good impression. By incorporating your ideas into the conclusion, the reader will be impressed with your proposed transportation improvements, which will help make your essay stand out. The conclusion will, ideally, be supportive of your thesis and help tie the essay together.

Solving Commuting Challenges with RTS Bus Rapid Transit (RTS-BRT) Rochester, NY

Lelise Tesfaye Bekele Follow

The public transport service in Rochester, NY, is inefficient in terms of reliability, safety, comfort, security, waiting, transfer, and longer commute hours. The public transportation system needs significant transformation to overcome this alleviating issue and relieve the burden on low-income residents, pedestrians, and non-motorized vehicle users. The research objective of this thesis is to advance and discover a connection pattern between transportation, urban sprawl, poverty, and unemployment in Rochester, NY. It targets the low-income resident’s detachment from diverse uses, residential settlement, locations of jobs, and transportation options. The research analyses how-: people commute to work, how long the commute takes, the rate of car ownership, and the financial burdens of owning a car. Furthermore, the research goes deeper into the energy demands and emission reduction caused by the transport sector. The data collection method used for the analysis is metanalysis, gathering data from local authority websites, organizations, research papers, and media. Sustainable transport can be a catalyst for urban development that prioritizes equity, accessibility, and time savings for the low-income commuter while reducing emissions and increasing traffic safety. Thus, all benefactors are a modal shift to lower-carbon transport systems such as walking, cycling, public transport, alternative fuel vehicles, modifying roads, and minimizing travel time. The scope of this study is to assess the environmental, social, and economic impacts caused by car dependency in Rochester, NY. As a result, the research probes the opportunities and challenges of leveraging Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) while introducing a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system.

In this study, the researcher focussed mainly the transport system, financial investment to by the own vehicle and its infrastructure. It is estimated that more than half of Ethiopia's produce is transported by pack animals, reflecting the inadequacy of the country's road network and the rugged terrain. About 75% of Ethiopian farms are more than a one-day walk to the nearest road. The road system in 2002 comprised an estimated 24,145 km (15, 00 3 mi), of which 3,290 km (2,040 mi) was paved. The number of passenger cars in use in 2000 was 36,700, and the number of commercial vehicles 87,700. As of 2000, there was only one vehicle registered for every 1,795.4 inhabitants, fewer vehicles per capita than any other African nation. Bus services link provincial centers to the capital. Railways consist of a line from Djibouti to Addis Ababa that is 880 km (547 mi) long, of which 681 km (423 mi) are in Ethiopia, and is owned jointly by Djibouti and Ethiopia. Ethiopia's merchant fleet of 9 ships had a gross weight of 81,933 tons as of 2002. Neighboring Djibouti also serves as a depot for Ethiopian trade. Only one river, the Baro, is used for transport. There were 86 airports in 2001, only 14 of which had paved runways. The Addis Ababa airport handles international jet transportation. Before the civil war, the national carrier, Ethiopian Airlines, flew to numerous African, Asian, and European cities, and had sole rights on domestic air traffic. In 2001, 1,027,500 passengers were carried on domestic and international flights. Bajaj Auto Limited is the world's fourth largest two-and three-wheeler manufacturer and the Bajaj brand is well-known across several countries in Latin America, Africa, Middle East, South and South East Asia. Bajaj Auto Limited is the flagship company of the Bajaj group which is amongst the top 10 business houses in India. Its footprint stretches over a wide range of industries, spanning automobiles (two-wheelers and three-wheelers), home appliances, lighting, iron and steel, insurance, travel and finance. To know more about the illustrious history of the group as well as the present, have a look at the different sections. In 1960, when bicycle was still the primary means of transport in India, Bajaj Auto Limited was one of the first companies to introduce two wheelers in India; Forward to the 1980s and again Bajaj becomes one of the first companies to introduce motorcycles in India; Fast forward to 2012 and Bajaj is a two wheelers giant with presence in more than 40 countries and boasting revolutionary technologies like DTSi, exhaustec, SNS with unmatched industry performance. To know more about the different technologies, glance through the different sections. The Bajaj is the method of choice for getting around in Ethiopia's cities. Whether you're in Bahir Dar, Gondar, Harar, or Hawassa odds are you'll make use of the 3-wheeled machine.

Rural household food security interventions can be effectively formulated or implemented through in-depth analysis of food security status and its determinants. Therefore, this study was conducted to measure the status and identify determinants of household food security in rural Konso woreda. Total of 252 households were selected by random sampling from five kebeles. Survey Questionnaire, Focus Group Discussion and Key Informant Interview were data collection methods employed. In addition, review of government reports and academic papers was made. The data is presented using mean, percentages, frequencies, etc. T-test, Chi-square, ANOVA and Bi-variate analysis were used to describe the characteristics of food-secure and food-insecure households. Multiple regressions model was used to identify important determinants of rural household food security. Results show that 66.3% of the households were food-insecure. Besides, the average and squared food insecurity gap among the food-insecure households were found to be 23.3% and 10.9%, respectively. Further analysis of food insecurity showed that 12.3% of the sampled households were marginally food-insecure, while 13.9% and 40.1% were moderately and severely food-insecure, respectively. The multiple regressions model has resulted in six significant variables among fifteen variables. These were farmland, sex, irrigation, annual income, dependency ratio and household size. Education, draught oxen, credit and extension services, agricultural inputs, livestock and age have showed non-significant positive contribution to rural household food security. Poor household health showed negative influence while availability of off-farm and/or non-farm activities showed negligible influence on rural household food security. In addition, erratic rainfall distribution and natural resource degradation are also among factors listed by Focus Group Discussion participants and Key informants as determinants of household food security. Finally, the recommendation is that the government and non-governmental organizations should consider statistically-significant variables and variables with positive contribution to the household food security as the most important areas of intervention.

Domestic tourism is the largest form of tourism in the world, both in terms of tourist flow and revenue. Nevertheless, relatively it is overlooked by governments and scholars of most developing countries. Consequently, this article has tried to contribute to domestic tourism scholarship by exploring domestic tourism in Ethiopia, intending to uncover the trends, prospects, promotional marketing, and challenges. The research was descriptive in its design and has utilized primary and secondary data collected through questionnaires, interviews, and reviewed archives. The primary data were gathered from 386 domestic tourists and 37 tourism experts at four different destinations. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, content, and text analysis using SPSS and Excel software programs. The result revealed that tourism in Ethiopia, in general, has been rising, but the absence of domestic tourism data at the national level weakens the generalization and was evidence to the level of attention given to the sector. Domestic tourism was found to be misconceived by most tourism experts and businesses. The result further indicated the culture of tourism in Ethiopia, domestic tourism development potentials, and its challenges. Conclusions and recommendations vital for policymakers and practitioners are also provided.

Khat is the second largest export item with great economic value in Ethiopia, but the ongoing increased number of chewers in the country indirectly affects economic productivity by decreasing work-hours, household's economic production, diversion of money to buy khat, absenteeism from work and unemployment. The study aimed at analyzing the status of khat consumption and identifying the determinants of consumption level of khat in Wolkite town of Ethiopia. Primary and secondary data sources were used to obtain relevant data required for this study. A total of 110 sample respondents were used to collect primary data. Double hurdle model was employed to identify the determinants of khat consumption. The Probit part of the model result revealed that age of respondents, religion, educational level, peer-influence and perceived benefit of khat determine consumption decision as expected. Results from truncated part of Double hurdle showed employment status, perceived benefit, education level, khat price and work environment susceptibility determine the level of khat consumption in the study area. It is to recommended to strengthen the provision of formal education, encourage youths' knowledge through different training and experience sharing, facilitate a program to provide especial education on socioeconomic and health consequences of khat chewing to primary, secondary, preparatory and university students, reduce unemployment through providing option job opportunities, strengthen the provision of a choice of sport station and facilities to the society, and enhance safe working environment for khat chewing to be done by required stakeholders.

The present study was conducted to study the marketing of animals (cattle, goat and sheep) and meat (beef, chevon and mutton) at vicinity of Hawassa city, Southern, Ethiopian. The marketing price of cattle, goat and sheep (livestock) was collected from observations at three different livestock markets places and the data from price of meat was collected from individual restaurants, butchers and hotels. The results indicated that the price of the livestock fluctuated between seasons and also depended on the various attributes such as coat color, sex, age, body condition, holiday etc. The price of the livestock were significantly higher just prior to the festivals and also during the holiday season. The study also indicated that the price of the roasted chevon and beef are higher than the raw ones this may also be attributed to the cost involved in the roasting process and the profit made by the restaurant owners themselves.

This study analyzes the role and factors of Bajaj taxi transport in Hawassa city administration. Results were shown the Bajaj taxi transport role in terms of drivers and passengers’ side. Bajaj taxi as any other intermediate public transport system is playing an important role by giving door to door short distance journeys of majorities of the city inhabitants particularly low-income groups of society. It also improves the life of large number of young people by making use of as employment opportunities. It also helps as a substitute for another type of urban public transport. On the drivers’ side as they satisfy different parameters of the qualities of their life they have some compliant on traffic flow control system and tariff fixing mechanisms, and they are also dissatisfied with their own expense and saving behavior. On the passengers’ side, as they have higher satisfaction most of the public transport system measuring parameters, they have also some kind of inconvenience on crime and theft control mechanisms, and safety and security.

The study was conducted on homegardens of Hawassa city, Southern Ethiopia with the aim of documenting useful plant species; identifying the internal and external household factors related to useful plant species diversity in and around home gardens and examining its contribution to household food security and income generation. A random sample of 120 homegardens from eight sub-cities of Hawassa city was used to collect useful plant species data. Techniques used were focus group discussion, semi-structured interviews, home garden tour, market survey, free listing, priority ranking, and preference ranking. A total of 258 useful plant species were documented, of which 47.29% were ornamental plants, 29.75% food plants, and 15.89% medicinal plants. Fabaceae was the dominant family represented by 9 genera and 20 species, followed by Euphorbiaceae and Asteraceae with 17 and 16 species each respectively. Homegarden size of the study area ranged from 220 to 1235 m 2 with a mean size of 571 m 2. The age of homegarden is ranged from 15 years old to 55 years old with a mean aged of 28. The number of species in the homegarden ranges from 10 to 45 with the mean of 23. The study indicates that home gardens are contributing to food security, income generation and livelihoods in Hawassa city through production of ornamental, food plants, fodder, medicinal, timber and construction. The study recommended that the management of useful plant species in homegardens will be scaled up and further expanded and assisted by agricultural extensions in urban areas in Ethiopia.

ON BI-/HOPF ALGEBRAS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS TO RENORMALIZATION PROBLEMS AND OPERADIC ALGEBRAS

In this thesis, we develop an algebraic framework for colored, colored connected, semi-grouplike-flavored, and pathlike co-/bi-/Hopf algebras, which are essential in combinatorics, topology, number theory, and physics. Moreover, we introduce and explore simply colored comonoid, which generalises the notion of colored conilpotent coalgebra. The simply colored structure captures the essence of being connected and give unified treatment of all connected co-/bi-algebras.

As a consequence, we establish precise conditions for the invertibility of characters essential for renormalization in the Connes-Kreimer formulation, supported by examples from these fields. In order to construct antipodes, we discuss formal localization constructions and quantum deformations. These allow to define and explain the appearance of Brown style coactions. We also investigate the relation between pointed coalgebras and color conilpotent coalgebras.

Using these results, we interpret all relevant coalgebras through categorical constructions, linking the bialgebra structures to Feynman categories and applying our developed theory in this context. This comprehensive framework provides a robust foundation for future research in mathematical physics and algebra.

Boeing Angers Safety Officials With Disclosures on 737 Max Incident

The National Transportation Safety Board said Boeing had improperly released information about the blowout of a panel on an Alaska Airlines flight.

The back half of an Alaska Airlines plane parked at a maintenance hanger.

By Niraj Chokshi and Mark Walker

Niraj Chokshi reported from Renton, Wash., and Mark Walker from Washington.

Boeing drew fresh criticism from a federal regulator on Thursday over disclosures about the continuing investigation into a harrowing January flight during which one of the company’s 737 Max planes lost a panel , exposing passengers to howling winds at an altitude of about 16,000 feet.

Addressing reporters at a company factory in Renton, Wash., Elizabeth Lund, a Boeing executive, provided new details on Tuesday about how the plane involved in the incident left the plant apparently without four critical bolts that secured the panel, known as a door plug, in place.

Boeing said the information was not for release until Thursday morning, under a common kind of agreement that allowed the attending reporters time to process the detailed briefing.

But the National Transportation Safety Board became aware of the remarks at the briefing and rebuked the company hours before articles on the remarks were published. It said that Boeing improperly shared investigative information and speculated about the cause of the incident, adding that the company had “blatantly violated” the agency’s rules surrounding active investigations. The agency said it would provide details about that violation to the Justice Department, which is investigating the January flight.

“As a party to many N.T.S.B. investigations over the past decades, few entities know the rules better than Boeing,” the agency said in a statement.

The N.T.S.B. also said that it would revoke Boeing’s access to investigative information and that the company would not be allowed to ask questions of other participants at a hearing in August, for which it plans to subpoena Boeing witnesses. The agency said it confirmed the company’s violation after obtaining a transcript of the press briefing from Boeing. The agency’s rebuke of the company was earlier reported by The Air Current , an aviation publication.

Airbus may have benefited from Boeing's struggles, but it isn't smooth sailing for the rival aviation giant

  • Airbus stock fell 11% after cutting 2023 delivery targets due to supply chain issues.
  • It spells problems for airlines as Boeing has also reduced production.
  • Airbus' A320neo family outsells the 737 Max but further plans for growth may have been too ambitious.

Insider Today

Airbus stock dropped as much as 11% on Tuesday after it reduced delivery targets, citing supply chain issues.

The European planemaker announced Monday that it intends to deliver around 770 commercial jets this year, down from 800.

It also curbed plans to increase production of the A320neo family. Airbus had aimed to increase output from 50 to 75 a month by 2026, but the target has now been pushed back a year.

The A320neo family has outsold the rival Boeing 737 Max since 2019, when the latter model was grounded following two crashes in which 346 people died.

Further problems at Boeing arose in January, when a door plug came off an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in midair.

In the wake of that incident, Boeing's biggest customer, United Airlines, spoke of plans to switch some orders to Airbus jets .

Related stories

However, Airbus has seemingly struggled to meet the increased demand.

Overall, it marks further problems for airline customers, because Boeing has also reduced its output amid its ongoing crisis.

The Federal Aviation Administration has capped production of 737 Max jets as a result of the Alaska Airlines blowout. Boeing has also slowed production of other models as it works to focus on quality control — sparking a backlash from airline bosses .

In a press release, Airbus said its commercial aircraft division is "facing persistent specific supply chain issues mainly in engines, aerostructures, and cabin equipment."

"We are facing headwinds right now; we have to bite the bullet," CEO Guillaume Faury told analysts on a call, per Reuters .

Reuters reported that Faury said engine supplies for the A320neo family had deteriorated "significantly" in recent months.

One of the two engine options is made by Pratt & Whitney , which last year announced it had discovered a manufacturing defect that would result in hundreds of planes being grounded for inspections.

According to Reuters, Faury also pointed to uncertainty around supplier Spirit Aerosystems . It's expected to be carved up with parts sold to both Boeing and Airbus.

Airbus' problems also extend to its space division, where it announced charges of 900 million euros ($965 million). Its guidance update said it would "evaluate all strategic options" including potential restructuring and M&A options.
