In recent times, waste management has engaged the attention of governments, policy makers, and academics as it has ramifications for the health and well-being of citizens, the environment, and the economy. In this regard, waste management firms and policy makers are employing strategic approaches to waste management efforts by empowering relations among various stakeholders to innovate. Thus, customer and stakeholder value co-creation is one such strategic approach waste management firms can adopt to create value and to brand. Previous studies of co-creation in waste management are largely broad in perspective. The purpose of this study is, therefore, to assess the relationship among customer operant resources, online value co-creation and digital branding through electronic word-of-mouth in the Ghanaian waste collection industry. Using the positivist research paradigm approach, a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from customers through social media platforms. Hierarchical multiple regression was used to test the hypotheses. The relationships among customer operant resources, co-creation and electronic word-of-mouth were all significant. Customer value co-creation positively mediates between customer operant resources and electronic word-of-mouth. Firm web-based platforms also positively moderate the effects of customer operant resources on customer online value co-creation. The results of the study can guide management of the firms to design appropriate strategic and educational programs for the customers. This study has advanced knowledge on the importance of customer operant resources in waste management value co-creation by demonstrating the degree of impact of each of these customer resources.

Relative evaluation of probabilistic methods for spatio-temporal wind forecasting
Lars odegaard Bentsen, Narada Dilp Warakagoda, Roy Stenbro, Paal Engelstad
Summary: This study investigates uncertainty modeling in wind power forecasting using different parametric and non-parametric methods. Johnson's SU distribution is found to outperform Gaussian distributions in predicting wind power. This research contributes to the literature by introducing Johnson's SU distribution as a candidate for probabilistic wind forecasting.

Comparison of ethane recovery processes for lean gas based on a coupled model
Xing Liu, Qiuchen Wang, Yunhao Wen, Long Li, Xinfang Zhang, Yi Wang
Summary: This study analyzes the characteristics of process parameters in three lean gas ethane recovery processes and establishes a prediction and multiobjective optimization model for ethane recovery and system energy consumption. A new method for comparing ethane recovery processes for lean gas is proposed, and the addition of extra coolers improves the ethane recovery. The support vector regression model based on grey wolf optimization demonstrates the highest prediction accuracy, and the multiobjective multiverse optimization algorithm shows the best optimization performance and diversity in the solutions.

A novel deep-learning framework for short-term prediction of cooling load in public buildings
Cairong Song, Haidong Yang, Xian-Bing Meng, Pan Yang, Jianyang Cai, Hao Bao, Kangkang Xu
Summary: The paper proposes a novel deep learning-based prediction framework, aTCN-LSTM, for accurate cooling load predictions. The framework utilizes a gate-controlled multi-head temporal convolutional network and a sparse probabilistic self-attention mechanism with a bidirectional long short-term memory network to capture both temporal and long-term dependencies in the cooling load sequences. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed method, which can serve as an effective guide for HVAC chiller scheduling and demand management initiatives.

The impact of social interaction and information acquisition on the adoption of soil and water conservation technology by farmers: Evidence from the Loess Plateau, China
Zhe Chen, Xiaojing Li, Xianli Xia, Jizhou Zhang
Summary: This study uses survey data from the Loess Plateau in China to evaluate the impact of social interaction on the adoption of soil and water conservation (SWC) technology by farmers. The study finds that social interaction increases the likelihood of farmers adopting SWC, and internet use moderates this effect. The positive impact of social interaction on SWC adoption is more pronounced for farmers in larger villages and those who join cooperative societies.
