On the other hand, child is one of the groups whose existence is least taken into consideration when making urban arrangements. Many children living in today's cities are not able to spend time in the open space during their childhood due to their parents' busy work tempo, urban open and green deficiencies and lack of activity types. Studies reveal that children who are exposed to the stress of the city and who grow up in cities that cannot spend enough time with their families in outdoor areas may have feelings of anger and even hostility towards their parents.In this study, a questionnaire was applied to measure the contribution of families participating in activities in urban open spaces of Duzce to the participation of urban open space activities in good parenting and physical and psychological development of their children. Within the scope of the study, 100 families were interviewed and the survey results were analyzed in SPSS 22.0 Program. Frequency and percentage, average and one-way analysis of variance were applied. It was found that the families of the children who participated in urban outdoor activities more frequently, spend more time in the playgrounds with their children and participated in the after-work games were defined as children with higher self-esteem, self-distraction, and easily happy.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129472497","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Therefore, the introduction of reverse logistics management in the waste liquid recycling industry is an important issue. Domestic companies face many management problems when they enter the waste recycling industry. It is important to choose key factors for efficient management. This study first explores and establishes the management factors related to the waste solution recycling industry through literature review and expert opinions and experience, and then constructs and establishes the management factors of the waste solution recycling industry through DEMATEL-based ANP (DANP). Research results show that the criteria of \"momentum in dealing liquid waste\", \"environmental policies and regulations \", \"amount of waste\", \"equipment cost\" and \"secondary pollution \" are revealed to be the signifi-cant criteria of management in the wastewater treatment industry.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131842573","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Cities have also proposed relevant policies and measures, and hope to create a livable place. However, the composition of the city is wide and complex, and the future city is not only able to consider only one aspect. The planning of the future city should incorporate the concept of smartness, suatainability and inclusiveness. With the application of novel technologies in the future, the effective use and management of urban resources can be achieved, and the social network of citizens tends to be fair and harmonious, which enables the city to move towards sustainable urban development. Based on the planning criteria of smart cities, sustainable cities, and inclusive cities, this study will construct an assessment framework that is consistent with future cities. Through the Fuzzy Delphi Method (FDM) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP), the future urban development evaluation model is constructed considering the priority of its evaluation criteria. Finally, an empirical analysis of the future urban assessment model for Taichung City, Taiwan will be conducted to verify the suitability of the model and propose further planning strategies.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"208 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115902405","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As well as the expected enhancement of academic reputation and the generation of income, these activities are triggered by governmental policies and strategies, namely the expectations towards a substantial rise in the ratio of international students at Hungarian institutions of higher education. Internationalisation is supported by the expansion of scholarship programmes available for foreign students, for example the Stipendium Hungaricum Programme, which was brought to life by a government decree in 2013 and amended in 2015. The aim of the study reported in the paper is to explore the motivations of Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders studying at the University of Győr (Széchenyi István University), Hungary as well as the challenges they face in an academic environment more often than not quite different from that in their home countries. The paper first briefly introduces the programme and overviews the results of Hungarian nationwide surveys on foreign students in general and Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship holders in particular. Then it moves on to discuss the findings of structured interviews carried out among master- and bachelor-level full-time Stipendium Hungaricum scholarship students at the University of Győr. The discussion focuses on three topics: (1) What motivated these students to apply for a relatively young rural university rather than more established rural universities or those located in the capital? (2) What aspects of instruction do they consider different from those in their home institutions? (3) What are their plans after graduation? The findings are believed to contribute to the better understanding of cross-cultural differences as well as to the creation of more effective international promotional campaigns.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128522167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, few studies related to STAI have considered the network structure of the brain, despite the importance of analyzing how information is propagated through brain networks. In this study, we define an anxiety propagation network structure from cerebral blood flow, and propose an STAI score for a state anxiety estimation method based on the network. In the proposed method, we assume that anxiety is propagated via an anxiety propagation network, and that cerebral blood flow in the prefrontal area is affected by this propagation. We construct a dynamic Bayesian anxiety propagation network based on blood flow measured by multi-channel NIRS in the prefrontal area. In the constructed network, anxiety is propagated between nodes, and dependence relationships between nodes are represented by edges. The degree of dependence between nodes is expressed as the probability. To decrease the effect of the distance between nodes, probabilities are weighted according to Euclidian distance, and features are calculated by summing the weighted probabilities for each node. Finally, the STAI score for state anxiety is estimated by applying the features to a multiple regression analysis as the explanatory variables. We conducted the validation experiment with 24 male and 24 female subjects. All subjects were scored by the STAI test. After scoring, the subjects set the wearable topography with ten channels to the prefrontal area. Each subject was asked to rest for 120 seconds to measure blood flow. The dynamic Bayesian network was created for all 48 data points, and its features were calculated. To evaluate effect to the blood flow due to gender and hormone difference, we compared four cases of the gender gap combination of the training data and test data for the multiple regression analysis. In all cases, the accuracy of the proposed method was evaluated by the correlation coefficient. In the training data for males, the correlation coefficients for male and female test data were 0.66 138 https://www.iises.net/proceedings/iises-international-academic-conference-dubrovnik/front-page 27 August 2019, IISES International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik ISBN 978-80-87927-76-2, IISES and 0.63, respectively.

However, sleep deprivation has become a serious social problem. In this study, in order to clarify the relationship between core temperature and bedroom environment / daily activities during sleep, we propose an estimation model of core temperature from the data of body surface temperature, bedroom temperature, bed temperature, bedroom humidity, bedroom carbon dioxide number, heart rate etc. using neural network model. Also, we use sleeping time data (waking time, shallow sleeping time, REM sleeping time, deep sleeping time) as output information, using bedroom environment data like bedroom temperature, humidity, carbon dioxide number etc. and physical activity information every day as input information, and evaluate daily sleep quality by data envelopment analysis (DEA model).

From a cohort of all women in Denmark who gave birth to their first and second singleton infant in 1982-1987, a review was made of a selected sample of 1662 medical records. Regarding registration of pregnancy complications, there was good agreement (kappa above 0.6) between medical records and the registers, and between the registers. However, there was a tendency toward understatement evidenced by low sensitivity of three of four pregnancy complications. The level of agreement (43%) for length of gestation was disappointing. The number of systematic and nonsystematic errors indicate that there was about 52% more singleton preterm deliveries in Denmark in 1982 than previously reported (6.9% instead of 4.5%). It is concluded that the validity of the Danish birth registers should be improved by explicit definitions, increased use of raw data, and data collection by motivated professionals at birth.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126512654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

International and national regulations require the use of sustainable production methods. This means that the attention focused on the current recommendations shifts from a set of minimum requirements to recognize environmental effects throughout the life cycle of products. Farming and food production are also expected to comply with the second pillar of sustainability which is related to the economic aspects of production. Important operational dimension of sustainability assessment is a concept of eco-efficiency, which is defined as creating more value or generating less cost with less environmental impact. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Life Cycle Costing (LCC) are appropriate methodologies to investigate the eco-efficiency of production systems within the life cycle. The aim of the study was to perform the comparative analysis of cash crop production in different farming types by applying the LCA and LCC methods. Carbon Footprint (CF) was applied as a single most important measure of environmental impact of production. The study was conducted in 69 farms, located in the Wielkopolska and Lubelskie regions (Poland) during the period 2017-2018. The analysed farms represented key agricultural activities, according to the classification of the EU: a) milk production, b) pig production, c) field crops, d) mixed livestock production (pig and milk). The chosen types of production are represented by the largest number of farms in Poland. The selection of the study group, according to the set criteria, were based on the information of Wielkopolski and Lubelski Agricultural Advisory Centres. The LCA and LCC analysis were carried out in similar phases corresponding to LCA standard: goal and scope definition, environmental life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment and interpretation. In winter rape production average value of CF was equal to 1003 kg CO2 eq per 1 tonne of grain (functional unit). The highest value of CF was observed in milk farming in Wielkopolska region of 1254 kg CO2 eq. Average aggregated cost of production related to the functional unit was 1084 PLN, with the highest value of 1222 PLN found in the pig farming in Lubelski region. Preproduction phases linked with the direct inputs levels contributed mostly to a high overall cost of rape production in pig farming and to the CF value of winter rape in farms specialised in milk production. *This work is a part of a research project No. 2016/21/B/HS4/01963 financed by the National Science Centre, Poland.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"37 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131443297","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular, we present a new bioinformatics method in which the biological sequences are represented by 3D-dynamic graphs [1]. For comparison of such objects we apply values analogous to these used in the classical dynamics. This method is a generalization of the 2D method [2]. Similarity is relative: it depends on the properties being considered. Examples of similarity maps for different properties (factors) in social science [3,4], in bioinformatics [1], and unpublished results in the health sciences are shown.
