Abstract: THINK is a quarterly research magazine published by the Marketing, Communications & Alumni Office at the University of Malta.2023-10-01T00:00:00ZAutomation/library/oar/handle/123456789/1338792025-04-03T10:07:22Z2023-10-01T00:00:00ZTitle: Automation
Abstract: Automation is an integral part of our lives in the digital
age. Your online shopping is automated, as is your
payroll, and your flight tickets. In a world where
information is currency, automation emerges not as a threat but
as an ally. Automation helps us navigate the dynamic landscape
of the digital age with clarity, efficiency, and integrity.

Abstract: While renewable energy is
beneficial for the environment,
it also brings new challenges to
properly control the energy flow in
modern electrical power networks.
In the past, consumers normally
experienced low voltages in their
homes, while nowadays, consumers
might also experience over-voltages
during certain times of the day!
Electrical power networks, including
the Maltese network, were designed
for a single centralised source
of energy (the power station).
Power is expected to flow from
the main energy source toward
consumers, with voltage drops
being experienced along the way.

Abstract: The tourism industry has long been
a cornerstone of the European
economy, attracting millions of visitors
to experience the continent’s rich
cultural heritage and breathtaking
landscapes. However, the travel
restrictions imposed by the Covid-19
pandemic drastically reduced the
number of tourists, creating severe
hardships in the sector that were
worsened by the subsequent increase
in energy prices. As the world struggles
with climate change and the current
energy crisis, the need for the tourism
sector to become more energy efficient
and lower its carbon emissions is more
urgent than ever. [excerpt]2023-10-01T00:00:00Z
