It is fundamentally different from regular services. Novadays people are busier than ever and therefore prefer on-demand services for their daily activities and tasks. In addition, they expect an extremely fast response to their service requests and delivery of products/services. For this reason, on-demand service apps have gained increasing appeal among people since the last decade. The aim of the study is to describe the most characteristic features of on-demand services. Research tasks: (1) provide a general description of on-demand services; (2) describe the on-demand service business model; (3) provide on-demand service application characteristics.","PeriodicalId":472464,"journal":{"name":"Cilvēks.

The concept of zero-energy building and energy-efficient building is becoming the goal of building design. Sustainable construction, which includes proper methods, materials, technologies, can ensure environmentally friendly use of natural resources and mitigation of global warming. Construction is an industry that does not stand still and almost all the time we see the construction of new buildings, the renovation of existing buildings, etc., but do these buildings meet modern standards? The authors will perform the necessary calculations to find out to what extent a real construction object meets modern requirements and how the energy efficiency of this object could be further improved.","PeriodicalId":472464,"journal":{"name":"Cilvēks.

The algorithm was modified to use the distance between points as a unit of time to limit the flight path length depending on the drone's maximum flight time. As a result of the work, an algorithm was created which, upon receiving an array of points, finds the shortest distance between the points, but when it reaches the limit of the flight duration, it returns to the drone station to charge, and resumes flight once it’s done charging.","PeriodicalId":472464,"journal":{"name":"Cilvēks.

The dataset contained 1273 photographs of pear trees with image sizes 640x640px. We had trained the neural network model YOLOv5m five times and achieved the best result equal to mAP@0.5 0.8 and mAP@0.5:0.95 0.43.

The stationary (analytical) solution of the obtained (1D) stationary boundary problem is also obtained. The numerical solutions of the 1D boundary problem are obtained using the Matlab package \"pdepe\" and the C++ programming language.
