This study aims to analyze the sharia ethical system of the buyer's rights in choosing shipping services in the Shopee marketplace and the sharia moral system to changes in the pricing of shipping services in the Shopee marketplace. This research is field research using a qualitative approach, with data collection techniques through interviews and documentation. Then data analysis is done by data reduction, presentation, and conclusion. The results show that the leveling option policy on the aspect of the right to vote for the delivery service buyer does not reflect the overall value of justice. After all, there is the right to choose the price and the right to select the delivery service quality that is not by the axioms of monotheism, balance, free will, and responsibility, but the right to choose estimates. Time has implemented these four axioms because they were by their designation at the beginning of the program and supported by changes in the features of the expedition service. The shift in pricing with a one-price system has not provided complete justice according to the four hypotheses because the existence of a one-price system triggers a gap between buyers who are geographically far from the city and shipping costs that exceed the limit. The value of the free shipping voucher was greatly affected by the failure. Get the best price, while buyers who are in geographical conditions near the city with shipping costs that do not exceed the value of the free shipping voucher are not affected because the free shipping voucher helps get the best price.

With the presence of a marketplace, internet users are able to shop by cellphones or laptops which ease them to process the transactions. This advantage is the key to the popularity of e-commerce and marketplaces in the 21st century. Considering that users prefer having e-commerce to going out and looking for products. Internet users are still hesitant in choosing a good and bad marketplace since there is a disappointing marketplace system and a deficient service.

The stage of selecting marketplace products is based on an opinion or public opinion who buys goods on the selected marketplace, the opinion is given into online opinions such as comments on the marketplace. The comments that are used as samples will be processed and grouped into data sets. In this case, the researcher processes the classification or grouping of data by applying the Support Vector Machine (SVM) method in accordance with the classification of processing data sets in the form of text. After being applied to the SVM method, the accuracy value is 75.92%, the SVM method produces a fairly good accuracy value on the dataset in the form of text classification in the marketplace review. From the results of testing the data, it can help readers in determining a good marketplace.

The aims to determine steps to increase the labor force absorption of the Micro and Small Enterprises (MSEs) sector. This research using the structural equation model partial least square (SEM-PLS) method with cross-section secondary data within provinces (34 provinces) from the 2016 Economic Census (2017 census). The analysis results showed that the labor force absorption of MSEs in Indonesia was directly and positively affected by the number of MSEs and the income of MSEs. The number of MSEs in Indonesia was positively affected by the education level of MSEs owners. Meanwhile, the income of MSEs was positively affected by the use of the internet (digital technology) of MSEs. The education level of MSE owners was the only factor that had an indirect positive effect on the labor force absorption of MSEs. Increasing the labor force absorption of MSEs in Indonesia can be promoted by strengthening the entrepreneurship curriculum to foster an entrepreneurial spirit in students, especially at the higher education level, to grow the startup businesses. In addition, digital marketing partnerships with various e-commerce platforms providing marketplaces and online courier service platforms to increase MSEs income are encouraged.

The article considers the role of the Internet as one of the channels for promoting products. The article is aimed at developing practical recommendations as to the organization of communication policy on the Internet through the creation of an online store, sales via marketplaces, also with the use of cashback. Modern trends of e-business are generalized, characterizations of online trading, its advantages for buyers and sellers are provided. It is proposed to organize interaction with customers in two sectors: marketplace and online store. The main features of the marketplace and the online store (from the point of view of sellers / suppliers) are systematized: the main goal, participants, interaction with buyers, the need to create a website, functionality, creating a profile, control, product range, price regulation, advertising costs, working conditions, earnings, the ability to develop systems of repeated sales, the number of sellers. The main disadvantages in operating a marketplace and an online store (either from the point of view of sellers or from the point of view of buyers) are considered. The article generalizes the procedure for organizing a communicative policy on the Internet (through the store’s website), which envisages: creating an online store, interacting with customers through the online store sales. The procedure for organizing a communicative policy on the Internet (through the marketplace) is described, including: entering the marketplace, selling products to buyers, paying a commission for the products sold and paying a standard monthly fee for using the platform. It is recommended to form a communication policy using the cashback service and the following technology: registration in the cashback service, carrying out the purchase of products through the cashback service catalog (by links), transferring data about the purchase of an online store or marketplace, payment of cashback service commission, payment of cashback to the buyer. The main shortcomings of cashback (from the point of view of sellers and from the point of view of cashback services) are considered, which include the taxation of cashback in the amount of 19.5% for individuals and VAT, provided that both participants of the bonus program are legal entities. The main disadvantages of cashback from the position of buyers are considered.

The article analyses the distribution of counterfeit products through marketplaces in Russia in the context of the rapid growth of e-commerce, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic. Based on the analysis of statistical data of reports and reports of companies and organizations specializing in research of the counterfeit market in Russia, the paper concludes that marketplaces are one of the channels for the distribution of counterfeit goods. The consequences of selling counterfeit goods online have a negative impact on the state, which does not receive tax revenues to the budget, rights holders who lose their profits and reputation, as well as on consumers in the form of harm to health and threat to life. The study of the work of one of the popular marketplaces Wildberries allows us to speak about the lack of interest of the marketplace as an online trading platform in monitoring sellers (suppliers) of goods for violation of intellectual property rights. The authors of the article made a number of proposals to improve measures to counter the appearance and spread of counterfeit goods through marketplaces. The paper determines that the fight against counterfeiting should be carried out in a complex and only with the interested participation of the state, copyright holders, buyers and marketplaces.

Globalization and increased volatility of global markets, as well as increased competition, lead to the need for the business community to create new sustainable business models that are less susceptible to the negative effects of globalization. The sustainability of business models is determined by the effective use of resources: natural, material, financial and intellectual. The result of the transformation is the transition to network interaction and the formation of ecosystems of suppliers, partners, consumers and competitors around the business sphere. The main conclusions of the research paper are reduced to the need to achieve a comprehensive development of the digital economy, taking into account the interrelationships of economic processes and structural transformations. In this regard, the analysis of the relationship and principles of structural shifts in economic processes against the background of digital transformation becomes particularly relevant.

Context: States have experimented with the income eligibility threshold between Medicaid coverage and access to subsidized Marketplace plans in an effort to increase coverage for low-income adults while meeting other state priorities, particularly a balanced budget. In 2014, Wisconsin opted against adopting an ACA Medicaid expansion, instead setting the Medicaid eligibility threshold at 100% of the poverty level—a state-funded partial expansion. Childless adults gained new eligibility, while parents and caregivers with incomes between 101–200% of poverty lost existing eligibility. Methods: We used Wisconsin's all-payer claims database to assess health insurance gains, losses, and transitions among low-income adults affected by this partial expansion. Findings: We found that less than one third of adults who lost Medicaid eligibility definitely took up commercial coverage, and many returned to Medicaid. Among those newly eligible for Medicaid, there was little evidence of crowd-out. Both groups experienced limited continuity of coverage. Overall, new Medicaid enrollment of childless adults was offset by coverage losses among parents and caregivers, rendering Wisconsin's overall coverage gains similar to nonexpansion states. Conclusions: Wisconsin's experience demonstrates the difficulty in relying on the Marketplace to cover the near poor and suggests that full Medicaid expansion more effectively increases coverage.

This study conducts postmarketing surveillance for the photosensitised oxidation of vegetable oils (VOs) stored in different conditions in the marketplace during commercialisation. Coconut oil, palm kernel oil, soybean oil and sunflower oil were exposed to direct sunlight and kept in the dark for six weeks. The results showed a significant (p < 0.05) increase in PV and a severe decrease in the iodine value, chlorophyll, β-carotene, colour content, and the fatty acid compositions (oleic and linoleic acids mainly) in the lightexposed VOs. The FTIR analysis also identified the formation of the hydroperoxides (3444 cm–1), secondary oxidation products (1743 – 1723 cm–1) and the loss of the cis-disubstituted olefins (723 cm–1) bands in the light-exposed VOs. This indicated that oils exposed to light for an extended period of time could undergo photosensitised oxidation due to photosensitisers like chlorophyll. In contrast, the unexposed VOs showed no significant change (p > 0.05) in their chemical compositions. The photosensitised oxidation increased in the order: coconut oil < palm kernel oil < soybean oil < sunflower oil. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Socially conscious fashion entrepreneurs in the twenty-first century built many of the first visibly queer- and trans-focused fashion brands. In this paper, we critically examine nine of these brands that produced and distributed undergarments or other objects worn near or against the skin, such as binders, packers, underwear, lingerie, and bras. We draw upon oral histories with the brand directors, objects from each company, news articles, and online content. The brands emerged during significant socio-cultural and political changes and simultaneously engaged in dismantling and queering the past oppressive notions of the fashion industry. Unlike mainstream representation that often has positioned fashionable queer people as thin, cisgender, and white, these brands embraced an intersectional and social-justice lens throughout their business processes. The history of these brands demonstrates the interconnected complexity of fashioning queer and trans identities, fashion commodities, and fashion activist philosophies in the twenty-first-century capitalist marketplace.

There are few studies in the northern region of Brazil regarding honey consumption. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate the perception of the population regarding the consumption of honey in the State of Roraima. An online questionnaire was prepared and applied in 2021 through the Survio website, containing 340 respondents in total. Regarding the socio-educational profile of the interviewees, 43% (145/340) belonged to the age group of 21 - 30 years, 65% (221/340) were female and incomplete higher education was the level of education with the highest percentage of respondents 39.4% (134/340). Regarding consumption, it was found that 45% (153/340) of respondents rarely consume honey and when asked about the reasons that would lead them to stop consuming honey, the price 35% (110/316) followed by health 34% (107/316) were the reasons with the highest number of respondents. For 77% (273/340) of the interviewees, honey has a food function. Regarding advertising, 75% (255/340) reported that they had never seen advertising encouraging the consumption of honey. The research showed that the consumption of honey in the State of Roraima has a low frequency when compared to other states in the country, such as the southern region. There is a need to increase improvements in marketing incentive actions, influencing the increase in honey consumption, as it is an important product of animal origin that should be more present on the consumer's table, always considering products of proven quality through the inspection services, reducing risks to consumer health.

Changing asset ownership models in the energy sector is spurring established companies and startups to implement customer-centric smart services. In this sense, startups are pioneers of innovative business models, and unbundle the energy value chain to provide various services to final customers. Although service business models have received large attention in the energy sector, the role of startups in service business model innovation (S-BMI) is not fully understood in the literature. To put this into perspective, the proposed work analyzes the six most practiced energy service categories, specifically, Comfort and Heating, Flexibility and Trading, Energy Efficiency and Management, Solar and Microgrid, Charging and Battery, and Energy Software Solutions are taken into account, accompanying service business model archetypes in the energy sector. Data from two different company databases are combined, and a list of 432 startups dealing with energy services are analyzed. The operating revenue, stakeholders, investors, and funding are considered as the main indicators to compare the service categories. The top two categories in terms of the number of startups are Solar and Microgrid (38.1%) alongside Energy Efficiency and Management (20.1%). The analysis suggests that X-as-a-service (XaaS) and platform-based business models are becoming the center-of-attention for investors and shareholders. Digital marketplaces are also evolving in the energy sector. In fact, the current study found that startups associated with XaaS, platforms, and marketplace activities are attracting the majority of investors and funding programs. From a theoretical point of view, the study has provided the main motivations and enablers behind the energy sector servitization. The findings could serve as an initial methodological framework to analyze services in the energy sector, putting service business models and startups into focus. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The article considers peculiarities of the activities of the main participants in the financial market, in particular banking in the context of digitalization and the introduction of artificial intelligence tools. At present, artificial intelligence (AI) technologies have a significant impact on human life, both in the process of instant transfers and in conversational interfaces. This affects the financial services sector, and its members are the most active in introducing disruptive AI innovations. Therefore, in order to increase the level of competitiveness, modern banks should act as locomotives in addressing issues of implementation, use of digital technologies and acceleration of methods of remote work. The COVID-19 pandemic has made its own adjustments to the concept of interaction of financial institutions with customers, for most of whom remote services have become an integral part of everyday life. The increasing demand for telecommuting services of financial institutions stimulates the creation of digital platforms that take into account both the processes of global digitalization and the changed demands of consumers in the context of a pandemic. This article provides an analytical overview of trends, obstacles and prospects for the integration of financial ecosystems and marketplaces in the Russian market. The necessity of using an integrated approach in developing the rules for the functioning of financial ecosystems in the formation of an adequate development strategy, which will ensure the creation of a fair competitive environment in the financial market, has been substantiated. The aim of the research is to identify the main trends and patterns in the financial services market, as well as to determine the vector for further development of financial ecosystems formed using artificial intelligence tools. To achieve this goal such general scientific methods as theoretical generalization, analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis, systems approach, etc. have been used.

This study analyses the factors that users of consumer-to-consumer (C2C) commerce value as direct influences in the intention to use and the acceptance of a marketplace. An empirical model is formulated, which integrates three variables that evaluate trust and, in turn, other variables that influence C2C intention and purchases, taking a sample of 686 surveys gathered using the Internet in Colombia. The results show that trust is a fundamental factor in this type of electronic commerce in Colombia, given that C2C users seek intermediation pages with third-party recognition (TPR) and high web quality; similarly, key variables in the adoption of this type of commercial platform include finding low prices and social influence. The perception of trust in this type of electronic commerce is a broader concept that requires the analysis of psychosocial factors. For companies that manage marketplaces, this study allows them to focus on key actions and tools in their websites. This study allows one to get to know the users of this transactional system, specifically for the Latin American region, highlighting the variables that they most consider when engaging in direct commerce between people. The results show that C2C requires marketplaces that guarantee the necessary conditions for a purchase/sale transaction with trust and quality.

Background: The corporate social responsibility (CSR) disclosure was made mandatory in Malaysia in 2007 with the introduction of the CSR Framework by Bursa Malaysia. Since then, the practice of CSR disclosure is growing, as Malaysia joins global efforts towards sustainable development. Despite increased research on CSR; limited studies are assessing the relationship of specific dimensions – environmental, community, workplace and marketplace, towards dividend payout, which is crucial to investment and corporate financial decision making. Method: The study involved 32 Malaysian public listed finance companies as of 2017. It deployed data from annual reports and databases. Additionally, the study used content analysis to measure the CSR disclosure score, and dividend payout was calculated from the database. Results: There was a significant correlation between community and workplace dimensions with dividend payout. Despite the absence of significant results, the regression analysis showed a positive relationship between community and workplace dimensions with dividend payout. Besides, there was an inverse relationship between the environmental and marketplace dimension with dividend payout. The results indicated that active involvement in the community dimension resulted from an immediate positive impact towards brand equity, attracting current and new customers, and therefore improving the earning levels and dividend payout. Additionally, greater participation in the workplace dimension solidifies employees' engagement and motivation, improves the productivity level, which can be translated into enhanced earning levels and dividend payout. Meanwhile, participation in environmental and marketplace dimensions requires a longer period to yield an impact, higher development expenditure, and involve sensitive information that might benefit competitors. Hence, companies tend to utilise internal funding instead of redistributing the wealth through dividend payout. Conclusion: The study contributes to the literature of CSR by explaining the relationship of specific dimensions of environmental, community, workplace, and marketplace towards dividend payout using the evidence from the emerging economy.

This paper analyzes how vendors and customers in Korean marketplaces use three distinct levels of addressee honorifics: the deferential ‑ style, the polite ‑yo style and the so-called panmal 'half speech' style. The frequencies of these forms to some extent pattern with the relative ages of the participants; for example, vendors are more likely to use panmal towards customers who are relatively younger. However, the majority of interactions feature dynamic variation between different styles, which cannot be adequately explained by relative age. Rather, we see that participants use ‑ style and ‑yo to index that they are speaking in their prescribed roles as "vendors" or "customers". Meanwhile, panmal was found to index two main forms of social meaning. It was used to mark stages of the interaction that were conversational, playful, or intimate, but also when speakers strategically indexed their authority or power as they tried to take the upper hand in price negotiations. This authoritative use of panmal was accompanied by non-verbal behaviors such as large body postures, high chin positions and the withholding of gaze and bodily orientation. The paper contributes towards a growing body of research adopting an indexical approach to the use of honorifics, and demonstrates the importance of including analysis of multimodal features alongside the honorific forms themselves.

A prevalent practice for retailers is to provide a marketplace for third‐party sellers (3P sellers) to sell products directly to consumers, charging the sellers a commission fee. This study investigates the downstream retailer's optimal strategy to introduce a 3P seller who sells a substitutable product. We develop a game‐theoretic model, through which our first result shows that the retailer introduces a 3P seller only when the marginal costs of the products are in a medium range. Second, the retailer's strategy of introducing a 3P seller may benefit the manufacturer, even though the introduction creates downstream competition that may reduce the sales of the manufacturer's product. This happens because the strategy of introducing a 3P seller can mitigate the double marginalization between the manufacturer and retailer. In contrast to the conventional wisdom that introducing a 3P seller always results in a "win–lose" outcome for the retailer and manufacturer, we derive evidence that introducing a 3P seller can lead to a "win‐win" outcome for the retailer and manufacturer and thus improve the channel performance. Lastly, we find that the retailer's 3P seller introduction strategy can also improve the consumer surplus because this strategy increases competition. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The UNESCO cultural heritage includes constructions that require maintenance actions as they are subject to natural degradation, neglect, vandalism, and fraudulent collecting. While re-evaluating the original function or identifying a new one, the restoration with materials/components that do not respect the historical-cultural and technical-constructive features must be avoided. Rather, it would be necessary to re-adopt the ancient practice of the spolium and favouring with methodological rigour the recovery, cataloguing and marketing of deconstructed materials, valuable for their characteristics and workmanship and therefore deserving to be relocated in works of equal value. Starting from the analysis of the web marketplaces dedicated to the recycling/reuse of "construction and demolition waste", we analysed potentialities and limits of a process able to transform valuable stone elements into resources, respecting the construction on which we intervene and the one from which components come, to guarantee the continuity of memory.

The virtual environment is getting closer to the person. From an information field designed for information exchange, it is transformed into a full-fledged business environment. A significant number of business processes today are conducted via the Internet, which necessitates an alternative approach to the organization of key aspects of management. The rapid development of technology leads to the emergence of novel forms of interaction between contractors, increases their range, involves not only manufacturers and buyers but also other companies, including logistics, banking, brokerage, into the processes, which leads to increased overall business activity. Intensification of business interaction leads to the emergence of new business models. In particular, the current stage is characterized by the transition from online stores to marketplaces, which are full-fledged trading platforms where there is supply and demand. The article examines the prerequisites for the emergence of marketplaces as one of the tools of digital marketing and provides a brief description of them. Thus, the analysis of the level of Internet penetration in the world and in Ukraine confirmed the course of digitalization of society. The study of analytical reports made it possible to confirm the rapid spread of access to the network and the involvement in the virtual environment of an increasing number of users in different age groups and from different regions. Such penetration allows to take into account globalization, eliminate barriers to access, and ensure greater involvement of counter-parties in market processes taking place in the network. The analysis of e-commerce indicators has confirmed the assumption that the intensity of use of e-commerce services correlates with the level of the Internet penetration. Joint analysis of the level of the Internet penetration and e-commerce data has revealed the key characteristics of the modern user of the network as a buyer. In particular, to outline his or her behavioral and consumer preferences, note the attitude to advertising, the desired level of service and the need to ensure data confidentiality. Drawing up a portrait of the consumer allows to understand his or her network activity and take it into account in the formation of communication, sales organization and product promotion. Tracking consumer activity also permits making a modeling impact on it, pushing the buyer to certain actions from information to purchase. Assessment of the current situation in Ukraine allows to predict a corresponding increase in activity in the field of electronic sales. The various business models used in e-commerce are considered, and their functionality is depicted. The key factors that led to the emergence of marketplaces are highlighted and the impact of each of them is considered separately. The classification of marketplaces according to different classification features is given and the advantages of use are outlined. The tendency to emergence of new formats of marketplaces and expansion of their functionality is revealed, which significantly increases the possibilities of users from the position of organization of work and ensuring circulation of information flows. The main drivers of formation of marketplaces in the world and Ukraine are singled out. The vector of their development is traced.

Ulasan produk di marketplace merupakan informasi yang berharga apabila diolah dengan baik. Penjual dapat melakukan analisis ulasan produk untuk mendapat informasi yang dapat digunakan dalam evaluasi produk dan layanan. Kegiatan analisis ulasan produk tidak cukup dengan melihat jumlah bintang, diperlukan melihat seluruh isi komentar ulasan untuk dapat mengetahui maksud dari ulasan. Apabila dalam jumlah sedikit dapat dilakukan secara manual, namun dalam jumlah banyak lebih efektif menggunakan sistem. Dibutuhkan sistem yang mampu menganalisis banyak ulasan dengan efektif agar memudahkan dalam memahami maksud ulasan. Penelitian ini menggunakan algoritma KNN dan TF-IDF dengan pendekatan NLP untuk mengklasifikasikan ulasan produk “hijab instan” ke dalam 2 kelas (positif dan negatif). Klasifikasi menggunakan pendekatan NLP mendapat akurasi sebesar 76,92%, presisi 80,00% dan recall 74,07%, sedangkan tanpa NLP hanya mendapat akurasi sebesar 69,23%, presisi 80,00% dan recall 64,52%. Kata yang sering muncul pada ulasan dapat menggambarkan penilaian pembeli secara umum pada produk. Pada ulasan positif menunjukkan pembeli puas terhadap kualitas, kecepatan pengiriman dan harga barang, sedangkan pada ulasan negatif pembeli kecewa pada warna, dan jumlah barang yang dikirim tidak sama dengan yang dipesan.

Competition in sports field leasing is quite fast these days, making sports field managers improve facilities and provide competitive prices to attract sports field tenants. However, this progress was not accompanied by advances in technology so that sports field managers still had to do the manual method for field operations and promotion. On the side of the tenants of the sports field also still have to go to the sports field to find out the availability of schedules, facilities, and prices offered. Then many tenants who have an interest in exercising more than one branch of sport, therefore researchers use the concept of a marketplace that can bring together the managers of sports fields with field tenants in one container. In the application development process, it is done by using the agile method application development method because in its development it can be possible to collaborate and correct each other among team members to increase the customer satisfaction ratio. The application implementation uses the Laravel framework, PHP for programming language, and the MySQL for Database Management System. The results of the study can be concluded that the use of the marketplace concept can bring together prospective field tenants with many field managers and the ease of finding a sports field following the wishes of tenants by selecting the category of field, price and closest location and the manager of the sports field can promote the sports field by registering the field.

Data on real-time marketing performance from micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) selling their products in marketplace e-commerce corporations (MECCs) is a big challenge for researchers studying the performance of MECCs capital structure. This article explores the use of Google Trends to determine the impact of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) on MECCs’ performance. The findings of the trend analysis are explained using the N-OLI framework. It is found that there was a sharp trend decrease in MECCs with partial FDI (Tokopedia and Bukalapak) and full domestic investment (Blibli).On the other hand, there was a sharp increase in MECCs full FDI (Shopee). Other MECCs with full FDI, namely Lazada, has experienced a decrease but it is not as consistent as that of partial FDI. An increase trend in Shopee has negative correlation with a decline trend in Bukalapak. However, after being grouped, partial FDI has a significantly higher mean score compared to full FDI, and MECCs without FDI has the lowest mean score.

The Affordable Care Act was a landmark political achievement in reforming the American health insurance system but has been subject to considerable political pressure. Administrative actions, such as eliminating federal advertising, have served as a replacement for failed legislative repeal efforts. We use a county-level fixed-effects model with data for thirty-four states for the 2015 to 2018 open enrollment periods to measure dose-response relationships between health insurance and health-care-related political advertising and Marketplace enrollment. State-sponsored advertising is related to greater Marketplace enrollment, but we find no association between federal advertising and enrollment. We are, however, unable to account for the endogeneity of advertising decisions across media markets and potential federal coordination with other sponsor types. These results have implications for understanding public roles within privatized policy implementation.

Vehicle-to-everything (V2X) communication is a powerful concept that not only ensures public safety (e.g., by avoiding road accidents) but also offers many economic benefits (e.g., by optimizing the macroscopic behavior of the traffic across an area). On the one hand, V2X communication brings new business opportunities for many stakeholders, such as vehicle manufacturers, retailers, Mobile Network Operators (MNOs), V2X service providers, and governments. On the other hand, the convergence of these stakeholders to a common platform possesses many technical and business challenges. In this article, we identify the issues and challenges faced by V2X communications, while focusing on the business models. We propose different solutions to potentially resolve the identified challenges in the framework of 5G networks and propose a high-level hierarchy of a potential business model for a 5G-based V2X ecosystem. Moreover, we provide a concise overview of the legislative status of V2X communications across different regions in the world.

There is considerable enthusiasm for the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve financial well-being. Despite this enthusiasm, it is important to underscore AI's potential adverse effects on consumers' financial decisions. We introduce the AI-IMPACT model, a unifying theoretical framework for how AI can influence consumers' financial decisions. The model details how AI impacts the marketplace, affecting psychological processes and consumer traits core to financial decision-making (e.g., pain of payment, financial literacy). We use the AI-IMPACT model to illustrate one way AI can reduce financial well-being as its influence on the marketplace (e.g., facilitating biometric payment methods) decreases consumers' pain of payment, increasing spending. Lastly, we use the AI-IMPACT model to identify areas for future research at the intersection of AI and financial decision-making., Competing Interests: Declaration of competing interest The authors declare that they have no known competing financial interests or personal relationships that could have appeared to influence the work reported in this paper., (Copyright © 2024 The Author(s).

Marketplaces are decreasing day by day due to the rise of shopping center culture, changing transportation habits and the spread of supermarket chains. The reasons for that, are the changing cultural and economic characteristics as well as the inability to determine the number and size of marketplaces effectively in the districts. Marketplaces that fail to be established in the right place, in the right number, and in the right size are inadequate in terms of service scope. Thus, accessibility to food is damaged and reduced. Planning mistakes made in the access of food products to the society through public spaces indirectly harm the consumption and production processes of food. There are gaps in the literature concerning analytical methods on determining the number and size of the market places. In this study, the relationship between the number of marketplaces and their sizes is identified. The marketplace area per capita and the number of people per marketplace are calculated. Settlements with below the average values are then determined for the mentioned values and developing marketplaces in these regions are proposed. With the mentioned paradigm, it is possible to identify the necessary number and size of marketplaces in case of a future diversion. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
