Recently internationalisation of universities is a key factor and, as evidence of the Szechenyi University?s strong commitment to internationalisation, from September 2019, twenty-four English-taught programmes at all academic levels are on offer.One of the courses is BA in International Relations. The undergraduate programme in International Relations is for individuals who are sensitive to global problems, open to other cultures, and are prepared to handle a broad range of evidence and analyse complex issues. It is a multidisciplinary programme which combines a wide range of courses in international relations, history, economics, political science, foreign languages, sociology and regional studies, among other disciplines. The programme trains the students to be well informed about generally accepted tendencies, characteristics and data on universal political, economic and cultural phenomena. They will thus have deeper insights into and understanding of relations of various nations and cultures.The purpose of this paper is (1) to describe the research conducted prior to the course development process, e.g. analysis of the new national requirements for the International Relations BA course, the curricula at international and national levels and the findings of a questionnaire-based research conducted among the former students at International Relations BA course. After presenting the preparatory process (2) the programme will be examined and discussed focusing on the aim and the content of the course, the structure of studies, the academic and language requirements.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"8 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":"126052073","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}

Accordingly, Thailand has established a framework for digital economy development alongside with the ?Thailand 4.0? policy to enhance the country competitiveness. As part of this initiative, healthcare services are profoundly promoted and aimed to be Asia?s capital of health and wellness, as well as a number of digital projects are initiated to drive forward this digitalization. Consequently, businesses in both ICT and healthcare sector should be beneficial from this policy, and should reveal in their financial performance. In corporate finance, firm?s dividend decision could provide useful information about firm performance, and might be taken into consideration when making their investment decision. This paper examines the relationship between dividend per share and financial performance using panel data from Thailand listed firms in ICT and healthcare sectors during the period 2009-2018. In order to investigate such relationship, return on asset (ROA) is a proxy for firm financial performance while firm size, asset tangibility and leverage are treated as controlled variables. Regression results confirms the differences of such relationship between the two sectors. In ICT sector, both firm size and dividend per share shows positive and significant relationship to the firm performance, which provide evidence in support of both Signaling and Bird-in-hand hypotheses of dividend policy theory. Contrary, there is no clear evidence from firms in the Healthcare sector, whose financial performance only depends significantly on asset tangibility but not on dividend.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"75 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":"127076059","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}

An eco-fund is an SRI-type investment trust that invests in environment-friendly companies, also known as “eco-excellent” companies. In many cases, the process of choosing the companies to be included in the trust is not transparent and, due to subjective decisions by fund managers, it is not clear how the investment rate is determined. In this study, we propose four eco-funds and evaluate their performance. Since the risk of the eco-fund should be distributed, the investment rate will be determined so that the percentage of the top brands is low. The portfolio should consist of brands with high efficiency in environmental investment. First, we evaluate a company’s environmental management capability and profitability using quantitative data such as the amount of sales, greenhouse gas emissions, and ROE (return on equity). We then determine a set of brands for the eco-funds to invest in. To determine the investment rate for each stock or portfolio, an environmental minimum variance frontier is calculated. The proposed eco-funds are (1) EEC fund, (2) Beta fund, (3) Expanded beta fund, and (4) Environmental index fund. (1) The EEC fund invests in brands that perform well both in terms of environmental management based on carbon productivity and profitability based on ROE. (2) The Beta fund invests in brands that perform well both in environmental management based on carbon productivity beta values and earnings efficiency based on ROE. (3) The Expanded beta fund invests in brands that perform well only in environmental management based on carbon productivity beta values; it includes more brands than the Beta fund. (4) The Environmental index fund invests in all the brands considered and is a benchmark to measure the performance of the other eco-funds.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"38 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":"124868583","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 clinical situations, caregivers use ultrasonic sensors for monitoring accumulated urinary volume in the bladder so that they can take older patients to the toilet before urinary incontinence. However, if the caregiver is delayed in checking the accumulated urinary volume, the patient may experience urinary incontinence. While making nursing schedules for excretion management, caregivers may find it useful if they could predict the accumulated urinary volume in the bladder immediately after urination. Hence, in this study, we propose a prediction method based on the urinary accumulation model and absorption spectrum of urine. The urinary accumulation model contains three parameters: the time when urine starts to accumulate after urination; the amount of urine that can be accumulated in the bladder; and the time constant of urine accumulation. Thus, if these parameters can be determined immediately after urination, the accumulated urinary volume can be predicted using this model. To determine the values of these three parameters, we used the absorption spectrum of urine, as an explanatory variable, in the ridge regression technique. The values of the three parameters (as objective variables in the ridge regression) were obtained from output signals of the ultrasonic sensor using the internal point method. To evaluate the proposed method, we performed a validity experiment with a male subject in his 20s. The ultrasonic sensor was attached to subjects to measure accumulated urinary volume in the bladder. The subject was asked to rest during measurement. Urine samples were collected ultrasonic sensor was 24.14%. This result indicates that the proposed method may be useful for predicting the accumulated urinary volume in the bladder.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"49 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":"124505208","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}

Thus, it is helpful to cooperate with other hospitals, perhaps in the neighbourhood as a network to exchange resources such as technical equipment or medi-cal staff such as qualified nurses who are in high demand. To solve this problem we can trans-fer some theoretical aspects from other similar situations such as network cooperation in con-nected industry-companies. This only works by using modern Information Technology based on internet technology and connected IT-Processes. In Germany, the government has implemented an extensive scientific and industrial project called ?Industry 4.0?.The idea behind \"Industry 4.0\" is that all industry processes use digital methods, which are connected but decentralized.Through the use of Smart technology (computer, smartphone or personal digital assistant - PDA), a Digital Twin representing a complete digital footprint of all units, products and re-sources which are not digital (i.e. human employees) can be created and all digital processes work together (cloud based) to solve problems in real time.This idea of \"Industry 4.0\" is useful for Hospital Networks, which often have similar structures. To develop Industry 4.0 for Hospital Networks, we need a special modelling method. An exten-sion of the value stream model (the IT-value stream model) can fulfil this task. In this publica-tion, we demonstrate how an extension of the value stream model can solve the resource prob-lems in Hospital Networks.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"142 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":"134012292","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}

This material is based on the coupling of magnetic nanoparticles and graphene oxide (MNPs@GO). Graphene oxide (GO) presents a high surface area to volume ratio, and high rate of diffusion in water. However it is tedious and difficult to separate GO from the aqueous solution. The coupling with magnetic nanoparticles provides an easy magnetic separation. Thus, MNPs@GO has demonstrated to be an excellent adsorbent material towards to organic compounds but not to ionic metals. For this reason, a chelating group is attached to the material surface: [1,5-bis(2-pyridyl)-3-methylene] thiocarbonohydrazide (DPTH) in order to increase the selectivity for metal ions. To establish which is the best route of synthesis, two different strategies were designed (method 1 and method 2). The two new materials obtained, called DPTH(1) and DPTH(2), were characterized and their properties as extractants were studied. Several analytical techniques were used to characterize them; TEM, XPS, CNHS elemental analysis and FT IR. To conclude, the DPTH(2) showed better properties as extractant, even at trace levels.","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":"130762306","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}

Previous studies have proposed appearance inspection method utilizing peripheral vision, and the effectiveness of the inspection method has been verified in the case of simple inspection surfaces. However, it is unclear whether the method can be applied for complex inspection surfaces. Although a previous study assumed the complexity of inspection of surfaces sensuously, a quantitative evaluation method of inspection surfaces is required. This study considers such an evaluation method and applies it on the actual products. Specifically, the evaluation method uses definitions with two indexes: color complexity and structure/shape complexity. The former uses information entropy, which is an index indicating the uncertainty of each item. It is defined by H = -∑ _(i = 1)^n〖p(i)*log p(i) 〗 and takes values from 0 to 8. The latter uses the fractal dimension, which is an index considering expansion of the phase dimension. It is defined by -D = ( log N(a) ⁄ log ⁡ a ) C and takes values from 0 to 2. Furthermore, the complexity of the inspection surface is evaluated using various pictures captured by manufacturers.","PeriodicalId":111232,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the 49th International Academic Conference, Dubrovnik","volume":"66 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":"131053628","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}
