To enhance preparedness of citizens, a critical theme is how to utilise the benefit of information Communication Technology (ICT) in the scheme of ICT-based learning programmes to raise citizens' perceptions of disaster risk and how to enable citizens to be ready for the future disasters. And in so doing, collaboration with the public sector, local disaster management NPOs and other stakeholders would be important topic. However, for such training programmes to be meaningful is important that they are based on citizens' sense of urgency about all aspects of disasters and a clear understanding by policy makers of what elements should be prioritised in the programme. This study first recognises the existence of a gap between citizens' perceptions of the real and the virtual scape of natural disasters, and then, based on data from a survey of citizens' attitudes in X city in Japan, quantitatively captures the factors and elements of disasters that influence citizens' perceptions of city resilient, and suggests implications for policy makers and relevant stakeholders. The results will be presented to policy makers and stakeholders. This is expected to provide models and scales of analysis for ICT implementation in disaster prevention and mitigation, i.e. coping with natural disasters brought about by climate change.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"304 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115377990","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}

Tall building performance is increasingly being a topic of considerable interest and research as the built environment becomes more concerned about sustainability. However, contemporary architecture is characterized by irregular shapes whose complexity is related to the fulfilment of several requirements architecturally and structurally, which compounds the challenges of effective collaboration between architects and engineers during early stage where design decisions heavily impact the overall performance of the building and its sustainability index. This paper presents an overview of the related previous studies to explore the key factors influencing the design outcome of complex tall buildings. Consequently, this research provides the groundwork for Multidisciplinary Computational Optimization (MCO) through proposing a methodological interactive design approach in which structure is integrated into the development of tall building forms. The method creates a synergy between generative and analytical tools, allowing for the parallel interaction of architectural and structural design consideration for a sustainable-effective design during conceptual stage.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"349 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115895133","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}

Modified Marshall method was practiced for determining Optimum Binder Content (OBC). Superpave Gyratory Compactor was utilized for preparation of specimens for performance testing. Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) test and Hamburg Wheel Tracker (HWT) test were conducted on both types of asphalt mixtures at 25°C and 40 °C. Results declared that both aggregate skeleton and temperature affect the tensile strength and permanent deformation of asphalt concrete. Bailey gradation bituminous mixtures disclosed more defiant behavior to tensile and permanent deformation compared to Conventional gradation bituminous mixtures. Moreover, for both gradation bituminous mixtures, better performance of asphalt concrete in terms of tensile strength and permanent deformation was observed at low temperature compared to high temperature.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130397676","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}

Company X is one of many private steel casting companies whose profits have been severely damaged during the economic reform process due to limited production and a large number of unemployed workers. This action research project aimed to find out the reasons of high employee turnover rate in Company X and carry out the corresponding intervention. In particular, this paper studied the employees job satisfaction of Company X by combining field interview and questionnaire survey. The impact of job satisfaction on turnover intention was measured, and the differences on job satisfaction based on staff socio-demographic characteristics were examined. The results of this study showed that low job satisfaction was mainly reflected in five aspects: work, pay, interpersonal relationship, leader behavior and personal growth. Moreover, employees displayed stronger turnover intention when their job satisfaction was low. Therefore, it is concluded that high job satisfaction contributes in ensuring the sustainable operations of the company under challenging business environment, improving the competitiveness of a company, and promoting a company's long term development. Last but not least, intervention strategies have been formulated and implemented in order to improve turnover rate in the company.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"80 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131096763","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 Sri Lanka, CKD is one of the severe health problems because of the rapid development of CKD of unknown etiology (CKDu) in agricultural zones. Agrochemical and toxic metal contaminations of soil and water, quality of the drinking water, and fluoride level of soil are etiologies for the increase CKDu patients within the farming areas. Early detection of the disease form of the CKD (including CKDu) is critical to prevent and manage the disease and its etiologies. Therefore, this paper introduces an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model to determine the CKD form based on the physicochemical parameters of the soil in farming areas. The results of the Multi-layer Perceptron (MLP) ANN model have been compared with the Decision Tree and Support Vector Machine (SVM) based on the model accuracy, precision, recall, Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), and Mean Absolute Error (MAE). According to findings, the ANN model presents the best classification and prediction performance for determining the form of the disease.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"222 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124409322","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}

It is established that there has been a 64% decrease in CO2 emissions compared to the base year 1990. At the same time, it has been noted that the reason of a decrease in emissions is mainly a decrease in industrial production, while the climate policy of the country at the moment remains ineffective. Thus, to ensure a stable future climate, it is necessary to intensively implement technologies with negative carbon emissions. Together with the natural biological cycle of CO2 absorption, technologies for capturing and storing carbon dioxide, as well as chemical fixation of CO2, are effective. Methods of CO2 injection into geological formations to increase oil and gas production can be promising in the conditions of Ukraine. Methane replacement with carbon dioxide in gas hydrates located at the bottom of the Black Sea solves two global problems: natural gas extraction and, at the same time, CO2 disposal. Also, a conversion of carbon dioxide into fuel is an attractive solution to many energy and environmental problems. Technologies with negative carbon emissions are a new direction in Ukrainian climate policy and currently are at the initial stage of development.","PeriodicalId":389608,"journal":{"name":"2021 Third International Sustainability and Resilience Conference: Climate Change","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131856097","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}
