This study aimed to analyze: (1) the priorities of main criteria and sub-criteria in service quality at Cinema XXI Plaza Andalas; (2) the priorities of main criteria and sub-criteria in service quality at CGV Raya Padang. The population in this study was all viewers who had watched movies at Cinema XXI Plaza Andalas and CGV Raya Padang. The number of respondents was 100 respondents who had used services at Cinema XXI Plaza Andalas and CGV Raya Padang. The sample in this study was selected using accidental sampling with the Cochran formula. The data analysis stage used the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Based on the results of data analysis using the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, the weights of each criterion could be found out. For Cinema XXI Plaza Andalas, among the 7 criteria examined in this study, there was one criterion that had the highest weight compared to the other criteria, namely the management and policy criterion with the weight of 0.23. For CGV Raya Padang, the one with the highest weight was the management and policy criterion with the weight of 0.18.

Character Segmentation of Handwritten Text Using Machine Learning
Dr Chetanpal Singh, Dr Rahul Thakkar
Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

Considering the importance of handwritten documents in everyday transaction technologies like optical character recognition will be a valuable addition to the new set of technologies. This technology allows the translation of different documents and images into editable, analyzable, and searchable information. Researchers have successfully integrated technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence to automatically analyze printed or handwritten documents for converting them into electronic formats. At the time of recognizing a text, one needs to process the input image, extraction functionality, and classification schemes. This is the training stage of the system for acknowledging specific text. In this phase, the system is trained to find out similarities and differences between handwritten sample documents. Technology makes use of images of hand transcription and then transforms these images into a digital copy. The primary aim of this research report is to understand and explain the procedure for the development of character recognition systems. It will give further direction to the technology for identifying research documents. The systematic literature review includes evaluated, collected, and synthesized articles on this technology. Most of these research articles were published between 2019 and 2021. For this research report, various electronic databases were evaluated to understand the predefined review protocol. Previously published articles were searched with the help of keywords. After a comprehensive selection process around 20 articles were shortlisted on this. This review report aims at presenting the current state of results and methodologies of OCR and also provides a new dimension in the research process. It also helps in addressing the literature gaps.

Abstract       pdf Full text PDF

The objective of this study is to identify the indicators of banking system vulnerability that most delay domestic investment in Sub-Saharan Africa between 2002 and 2016. To do so, we use secondary data. Specifically, data from the World Development Indicator (WDI 2017), the World wide Governance Indicator (WGI 2017) and the International Monetary Fund IMF. Using a dynamic panel, a generalized method of moments (GMM) estimation shows that indicators related to the stability of the banking system, notably the credit/deposit ratio and the credit-to-GDP gap, are the ones that slow down domestic investment the most in sub-Saharan Africa.
