Green transport solutions in a medium-sized courier company

This paper produces an analysis of the Latvia-based courier delivery company DPD Latvija to determine its possibilities and evaluate sustainable solutions that it has implemented already. The obtained results are used to select suitable green transport solutions using multi-criteria decision making and cost-benefit analysis methods and to develop appropriate recommendations that help to improve the sustainable solutions already used in the company or to introduce new ones.The main green transport solutions covered by the research are the most impactful ones and include switching to electric vehicles, usage of alternative fuels such as CNG, biodiesel and hydrogen cell, and an innovative model of crowdshipping. There are several more solutions covered in the research that can be used to increase a company's contribution to decarbonization.The resulting framework or action plan, can help the company make best investments in implementing green transportation solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and potentially attract new customers. The added value of the work is the opportunity for another Latvian medium-sized courier company to use the proposed framework as a basis for creating its own plan.

Credit risk management in the banking sector of Azerbaijan.

This thesis examines credit risk management (CRM) practices in the banking sector of Azerbaijan with a focus on the application and effectiveness of international and local standards in credit risk management. The study begins by defining credit risk and discussing its importance in maintaining financial stability in banks. Various theoretical models of credit risk measurement, including traditional and modern approaches, are reviewed and their applicability in the Azerbaijani context is assessed. An in-depth analysis of credit risk management in a commercial bank (Kapital Bank) is conducted and differences in risk exposure and management strategies are identified. The study also critically analyzes the adoption and implementation of the Basel Accords (Basel I, II and III) in Azerbaijani banks and compares these international standards with local practices. The findings reveal significant differences in Kapital Bank's CRM practices as well as divergence in the implementation of the Basel standards. The thesis concludes with recommendations aimed at improving the regulatory framework and CRM practices to enhance the sustainability and effectiveness of credit risk management at Kapital Bank.

ADVANCEMENTS IN TAILLESS AIRCRAFT TECHNOLOGY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS AND PROPOSAL FOR COMMERCIAL IMPLEMENTATION

The military has a problem in developing the most sophisticated flying wings due to the relevance of tailless aircraft in military applications and the ongoing advancements in the aviation sector. This study paper delves into the extensive history of tailless aircraft, covering everything from their inception to the most cutting-edge designs available today. To develop in control systems, especially fly-by-wire technology, tailless designs are now more practical for commercial use since they are more stable and easier to handle than they were in the past. The main goals of this research are to assess the current literature on important parts of tailless aircraft technology and provide a thorough plan for their commercial deployment.The improved splitter increases the velocity by 40 m/s, although the obtained maximum velocity distribution across the aircraft was 29.3 m/s at the rear end. As a result, the aircraft is designed with higher lift and reduced drag, allowing for smoother flight in a variety of applications.Around 53% of the lift force generated is enhanced by redesigned designs. Based on the results of the study, the aircraft with the improved design had a higher lift force and reduced drag by dividing the airflow.

Corporate Network Segmentation to Security Level Improving

The aim of the bachelor thesis is Corporate Network Segmentation to Security Level Improving. During the audit of the company's network, several problems were identified, such as a single network, weak nodes, no backup channel, a separate strand with Lithuanian servers, HQ branch without a backup channel. The most popular network security threats and attacks were reviewed, DiD strategies and measures were introduced, an audit of the existing computer network was performed, and the new network topology was drawn. Based on the Cisco PPDIOO model, a plan for gradual restructuring in a new network has been drawn up. A central device was installed in the DC of Latvia, an IPsec tunnel was agreed with the DC of Lithuania, tests were carried out. All branches were provided with backup channels, which made it possible to test a new network first through the backup channel and only when all the tests were performed and were positive, the main channel could easily be connected as well. The backup channel routers and branch routers are configured according to a single template to allow easy interchangeability. Configured access to branch switches and backup routers from both channels: primary channel and backup channel. The network has been tested and is working.
