Telecommunication network planning based on micro-geographical market data : The case of a German city-carrier
Authors: Rauh Jürgen
Published: February 2020

Angeregt durch die Liberalisierung und das Auftreten neuer Akteure in der Telekommunikation ist der Bedarf an insbesondere auch ràumlich differenzierten Analysen der Nachfrage nach Diensten und der Nutzung der Telekommunikation hoch. Zielsetzung ist dabei eine am Bedarf orientierte Netzplanung. Am Beispiel eines deutschen City-Carriers wird ausgehend von einem sozialgeographischen Ansatz eine kleinràumige Analyse der Nachfrage und des Potentials des Marktes durchgefuhrt. Mit multivariaten Methoden wird auf der Basis verfügbarev Statistiken und Umfragen fur verschiedene Kundensegmente der Bedarf ermittelt und ràumlich differenziert dargestellt. Die Ergebnisse fliefien als Sachdaten in eine GIS-Applikation ein, mit deren Hilfe Vorschlage fur eine Netzplanung entwickelt werden konnen. Es wird somit ein Bogen gespannt von einem sozialgeographisch motivierten Ansatz über empirische Untersuchungen nicht nur zur Adaption, sondern auch zum in seinen Quell-Ziel-Beziehungen differen¬ zierten Telekommunikationsverkehr, um zu Aussagen über Marktvolumen und -potentiale zu kommen, welche die Grundlagen einer Te lekommunikations -Netzplanung auf lokaler Ebene bilden.
Reasoning about lifestyle, action, space and time in knowledge-based (tele-) communicative societies

Humanism and fear ! How professional women in the ICT business sector perceive the new technology
Authors: Jerndal Randi
Published: February 2020

This article starts off with the hype around information and communication technology (ICT) in Sweden. ICT is seen as the nucleus for economic development globally, nationally and locally. The Swedish IT -commission sees the new technology as a tool for increasing democracy and enhancing the social well-being of its citizens, and actively pushes the technology and its use. But can a technology which is viewed as gendered by feminists be used uncritically ? What will the outcome be for different groups in society ? This paper focuses on personal interviews with five executive professional business women and how they perceive ICT. The empirical material is discussed within a feminist theoretical framework. The women's views on ICT and its use is discussed thoroughly. The conclusion is that the women lack humanism in the visions and implementations which are emanating around ICT. And they fear a scenario where growing inequalities and a tougher social climate will become a reality in the near future.
Le développement des réseaux électroniques en Afrique : l’exemple du Réseau Intertropical d’Ordinateurs
Authors: Bernard Eric
Published: February 2020

La place des réseaux de recherche scientifique dans le développement des réseaux électroniques a été prépondérante aux États-Unis comme en Europe. En Afrique certains organismes de recherche ont également joué un rôle important, souvent oublié, pour mettre en place ce qui deviendrait plus tard l'internet. C’est le cas du Réseau Intertropical d’Ordinateurs, programme soutenu par l 'Orstom (Institut français de recherche scientifique pour le développement en coopération). Cet article aborde deux aspects de ce programme : son rôle dans la mise en place des réseaux électroniques dans certains pays d’Afrique francophone subsaharienne et le trafic électronique qu’il a permis d’assurer entre ces pays et le reste du monde.
Overview of opportunities offered by Information Society Technologies (IST) for European peripheral areas
Authors: Grimes Seamus
Published: February 2020

While well-informed policy intervention can have a significant impact on the prospects arising from 1ST for peripheral areas, it is essential to realise that the underlying logic of 1ST is profitability, competitiveness and productivity. Although there is no doubt that 1ST is bringing about a revolutionary change in the geography of economic activity, with huge implications for less favoured regions, the benefits and opportunities for such regions arising from 1ST can only he exploited by consistent and forward-looking investment in capacity-building, infrastructure and skills. With 25 years of such investment in 1ST skills and infrastructure, Ireland presents an interesting and rather successful case study for other European peripheral areas. A significant part of Ireland’s impressive employment creation has been based on IST-related EDI in sectors such as software and internationally traded services. Much of this growth has been recent and around 80% of IST-related employment creation is concentrated in the eastern urban region around Dublin. Regional provincial centres are beginning to show signs of benefiting from 1ST activity, but the challenge for rural areas remains daunting.
Linked human beings in linked spaces
Authors: Koch Andreas
Published: February 2020

The paper is dedicated to the relationships of human being(s), space(s), and information and communication technologies concerning the multiple possibilities of their linkage(s). First we will take a glance at the specific meanings of both the spatial and social and technological types of linkages separately. To bring all three networks into contact with each other — to overlap them interdependently — again, enables to emphasise of what will happen topologically. This relational background creates the basis for the main target : To demonstrate how, and how strong current approaches of both the spatial theories and the technological architecture at the one hand and the social sciences at the other hand, are enforced to give up the distinction of human being(s) and space(s) by linking them via different kinds of communications networks. The focus here is on the overcoming distinctions of structure, function and order. The emerging and developing continuous 'Space-Time-Attribute states will be exemplified by using the triangle of core notions of ' smart buildings', telepresence' and ‘acting’ (in different spheres respectively).

E-shopping and Off-line Delivery Systems in Korea : Real Space still Matters
Authors: Huh Woo-Kung , Song Yena
Published: February 2020

It is sometimes believed that the “real world" makes no difference in Internet shopping. This paper examines how off-line distribution systems of merchandise affect the spatial extent of Internet-based shopping in Korea. This case study investigated a leading e-shop, which employs a number of delivery systems to distribute merchandise to its patrons. The analysis revealed that the distribution of convenience shops and transit network did limit the spatial extent of the market hinterland of the case e-shop, and that there is also a strong preponderance of buyers within and nearby the district where the e-shop headquarters and distribution center are located.

Optimising geological mapping of glacial deposits using high-resolution electromagnetic induction data
Authors: Klint Knud Erik S. , Møller Ingelise , Maurya Pradip K. , Christiansen Anders V.
Published: February 2020

There is a growing demand in modern society for detailed, localised geological maps and 3D models in connection with e.g. planning of major construction works, study of subsurface drainage systems, infiltration of storm water or risk assessment of contaminated waste dumps and pollution plumes. This demand is difficult to meet in Denmark as the surficial glacial deposits that cover most of the country are notoriously very heterogeneous. Standard geological maps are based on regional data collection, and their resolution is far from sufficient to identify structural elements on the 10–20 m scale needed in the above-mentioned applications. Geophysical mapping for geological characterisation of the upper c. 5 m of the subsurface can be carried out using for instance direct-current geoelectrical methods (e.g. Loke et al. 2013), induced polarisation (e.g. Revil et al. 2012) set up with 1–2 m electrode spacing, electromagnetic induction (EMI; e.g. Christiansen et al. 2016; Doolittle & Brevik 2014), ground penetrating radar (GPR; e.g. Neal 2004) or seismic refraction tomography using a multicomponent landstreamer (e.g. Brodic et al. 2015). The resulting geophysical maps show the distribution of the measured parameter, for instance electric resistivity or seismic velocity. To construct geological maps using geophysical methods, the data must be verified and calibrated with geological field observations. GPR imaging of geological structures require laborious interpretation before a geological map can be constructed, and the method is limited to low-loss materials such as sandy sediments (Neal 2004). A new approach, using a combination of shallow, highresolution EMI surveying and traditional spear-auger soil sampling along the same transects, was tested in an area of c. 2 km2 around the contaminated, former landfill site at Pillemark on Samsø (Fig. 1). The resistivity recorded using the EMI method is strongly related to the clay content, and this parameter is therefore well suited for geological mapping. The EMI method is also robust, data acquisition is 5–50 times faster than with other geophysical methods and the processing and inversion scheme is well defined (Christiansen et al. 2016).
Karst sinkhole mapping using GIS and digital terrain models
Authors: Brøgger Sørensen Peter , Lykke-Andersen Holger , Gravesen Peter , Nilsson Bertel
Published: February 2020

Danish glacial landscape elements such as basal till plains, hummocky moraine areas and outwash plains contain a variety of small and large depressions. They were probably formed in glacial, late-glacial or Holocene time and may represent dead-ice holes or degraded pingos, or sinkholes formed by interaction between pre-Quaternary chalk or limestone bedrock and the thin glacial co ver. The aim of this study is to map terrain depressions that might potentially be karst sinkholes by analysing digital terrain models in the geographic information system (GIS). The incentive to apply the technique for mapping of sinkholes came from an accidental acquaintance with a farmer, Jens Kirk, whose farmland is located near Thisted. Jens Kirk told us that the front end of his tractor had suddenly sunk into the ground during routine farming work, and this incident was our inspiration to start the project described here.

Foi adotada uma abordagem qualitativa, realizada através de um questionário aberto online na plataforma Google Forms, por meio da técnica metodológica snowball. Os sujeitos que compuseram a pesquisa foram 21 adultos, na faixa etária dos 25 aos 38 anos. A análise dos dados pautou-se na modalidade de análise hermenêutica-dialética. Foram identificados 3 núcleos de sentidos que possibilitaram compreender a concepção do lazer para os adultos: compreensão de lazer: “tempo e atitude”, a idade e atividades consideradas como lazer, e “produtos” de lazer. Os resultados mostraram a associação entre lazer e satisfação pessoal/descanso, e o paradoxo entre lazer e trabalho, com mudanças na percepção dos sujeitos mais notórias nas faixas etárias dos 25 aos 29 anos e dos 30 aos 38 anos.
O Debate da Qualidade de Vida como Instrumento de Democratização do Lazer no Espaço Urbano
Authors: Versiani Isabela Veloso Lopes
Published: February 2020

Embora se verifique uma constante associação do lazer com a temática da qualidade de vida e questões urbanas, um aprofundamento direto dessas relações ainda é escasso. Assim, o presente artigo, de escopo teórico, propõe reflexões na direção de uma maior aproximação dessas duas áreas, buscando contribuir para uma inserção/legitimação do lazer nas discussões urbanas a partir de sua compreensão vinculada ao paradigma da qualidade de vida urbana em construção, sobretudo no sentido de colaborar para o direcionamento de ações de planejamento urbano e políticas públicas específicas para sua maior democratização. Dentre os resultados, verifica-se que uma maior aproximação do campo do lazer a esse novo paradigma reafirma a importância dos espaços públicos como meio para se ampliar o acesso às vivências de lazer nas cidades, essenciais na composição do direito à cidade e à qualidade de vida em sua totalidade.

Cylinder bore deformation plays an important role between piston and cylinder bore. The cylinder bore deformation may happen due to manufacturing process tolerances, assembly loading, thermal loading and dynamic gas loading. It has significant impact on the friction, fuel economy, lubricant oil consumption, reduction in power, increase in emissions, uneven power generation in different cylinders etc. This work proposes FEA analysis procedure that could be used to evaluate the cylinder bore distortion due to assembly (clamping) load of cylinder head bolts. Cylinder bore deformation due to head bolt clamp loading is predicted using FEA analysis package MSC NASTRAN for 3 cylinder inline Diesel engine. The effect of various parameters like effect of increase in pretension force on amount of bore deformation are studied. The predicted results are compared with previous experimental results and fair agreement have been observed.

Support vector machine (SVM) is a commonly known efficient supervised learning algorithm for classification problems. However, the classification accuracy of the SVM classifier depends on its training parameters and the training data set as well. The main objective of this paper is to optimize its parameters and feature weighting in order to improve the strength of the SVM simultaneously. In this paper, the Imperialist Competitive Algorithm based Support Vector Machine (ICA-SVM) classifier is proposed to classify the efficient weed detection. This enhanced ICA-SVM classifier is able to select the appropriate input features and to optimize the parameters of SVM and is improving the classification accuracy. Experimental results show that the ICA-SVM classification algorithm reduces the computational complexity tremendously and improves classification Accuracy.

In recent years, wearable antenna design has grossed research interest amongst academicians and researchers due to its versatile application in body area networks for transmitting/receiving signals in sufficiently large areassuch as ICU, trauma centers in hospitals for biomedical applications at ISM (2.45 GHz) frequency range. A wearable antenna is highly flexible in nature making it popular and demanding. What makes it even more suitable for biomedical applications is its simple design methodology and ease of integrationonpatient's dress/clothes for antenna placement in wireless communication. This paper presents a thorough investigation of various antennadesign methodologies to design a flexible wearable antenna that can be mounted on textile material for body-centric wireless communication. The traditional antenna design uses non-flexible substrate materials (such as FR-4, RT duriod, foam, etc..) having medium to high dielectric constant. This results in generation of surface wave losses which reduces antenna transmission capabilities. Flexible wearable antennas, on the contrary, uses ordinary textile materials used as a substrate whose dielectric constant is very low thereby providingreduced surface wave losses. As wearable antennas are mounted on textile fabrics it is possible to use these antennas to implant them on patients’ bodies(inside/outside on the clothes) for transmitting the patients’ body parameters (such as body temperate, heart rate, etc..) measured using various sensors/transducers. In this paper,a thorough review of different types of substrate materialsused for designing flexible wearable antennas is done.

This work is on the seismic behaviour of regular and irregular RC buildings with and without infill frames. It's below stood that buildings that are regular in plan (regular building) perform far better than those which have irregularity in plan (irregular building) under seismic loading. Irregularities don't seem to be avoidable in construction of buildings. This method of analysis is projected in terms of equivalant statics, responce spectrum and pushover analysis consistant with IS 1893:2002(part 1) code. Results of those analyses are mentioned in terms of the bottom construction drift and storey stiffness. From these results it's finished that laterel displacement and construction drift are going to be a lot of in vacant frame compare with the infill frames, whereas the bottom shear are going to be less in normal frame compare with the infill frames. It is also observed that lateral displacement and story drifts are more in irreguler buildings than reguler buildings.

The development in technology has hardly any interaction with different agencies working in the hi-tech areas such as nano-particles, atomic energy, rocket science, space, electronics and militia. Countries are too much concerned with the superstructures for cutting edge technological development. They remained sometimes project oriented or at times vertical without the knowledge of others working in the similar areas. For the country to be flexible in seeking political and security choices, there is a need to adopt a holistic approach to the technology development process. The need of the hour is to pay more attention in making our industrial base strong and sustainable. And equipping and raising the level of our scientist community, technologists and technicians. This will make us independent in all respects leading to self reliance.

MIMO usage the multiple elements for transmitting and receiving the signals, and it will able to increase the performance of the channels. The significant performance of MIMO antennas is using number of antennas at each end of the antennas.Recent days, in mobile communication facing the issues of integrating the numbers of uncorrelated individual antenna elements. The Multiple Element antennas (MEA) is improving the system performance by varying the parameters like gain diversity, correlation and capacity. The gain diversity describes the signal combination methods, correlation explains the statistical characteristics, and the capacity indicates the performance of the communication. Usage of these parameters designs the MEA antennas.

The article substantiates the priority of intellectualization in the formation of the paradigm of civilizational development of world economies. The object of the study is the processes of development of the world economic system. The subject of the study is a set of theoretical, methodological and practical provisions on the process of intellectualization of the economy, taking into account the information volume of innovative and creative components. The purpose of the article is to substantiate the processes of economic development of the world system, taking into account all changes and realities of modern globalization processes. The article deals with the phase coordinates of the economic system: innovative and creative, which are growing functions. The coefficient of intellectualization of the economy of the country is introduced and innovative thinking is represented by the operator who is applied to the volume of innovative knowledge. The development of an economic system is defined as the solution of the Sturm - Liouville problem, as the Cauchy problem for a system of first order ordinary differential equations. A differential equation is described, which describes the exponential law of self-growth of one's own array of innovative information in the process of innovative thinking. It is shown that for the present stage of development of economies of the world system is characterized by the coming of an era of intellectually-innovative paradigm, taking into account the actualization of formation of fundamentally new trends based on the priority of creation and use of intellectual resources acquired in the process of constant cognition. The graphical interpretation of the process of development of economies in which the array of innovative information is changed only due to innovative thinking is presented. The graph for developing economies in which the array of innovative information is changed only due to innovative thinking is given. It is proved that under the same initial conditions, but with different innovation levels, the economies of developing countries in the phase plane move on divergent trajectories. It is proved that the modern innovation economy is caused by a hierarchical structure, which is built on the level of innovative development, which is adequate to the size of its own array of innovative information with a creative group at the top.

Every year, more than 1 million people undergo limb amputations, and nearly one in six of the world’s population suffer from neurological disorders. Most of the afflicted are unable to perform basic day to day tasks. Until few years ago prosthetic arms served no actual utility to the one wearing it apart from giving an illusion of the limb, but now with the development of technology, prosthetic arms can be given utility to emulate the real functions of limbs. Using brain implants to read the brain signals, one can control prosthetic robotic arms which are fitted in place of the limbs. However, this procedure is invasive, risky and very expensive. Hence, not many people can afford this technology. Our paper attempts to shed light on a non-evasive cheaper approach to mind wave-controlled prosthetics without the use of brain implants. We have used an EEG headset to read the brainwaves allowing the user to move the robotic arm without having any implants. EEG headset is also a cheaper alternative to the expensive brain implants and it can be easily worn on the head and removed whenever needed. This allows us to help a wider demographic by proposing an affordable mind controlled prosthetic arm.

This paper fulfils the purpose by studying the effect of corporate board structure i.e., board size and independent director on firm financial performance for selected focused and diversified Indian companies. This study analyses the corporate governance structure of 76 Indian companies (60 focused and 16 diversified companies) listed on the BSE-Sensex for ten years from the year 2007-2016 using panel data analysis. The empirical findings showed a positive relationship of board size with firm performance and significant negative association of independent director with the corporate performance of focused Indian firms, while in the diversified Indian firm, board size found to be positively related to financial performance and independent director found to be negatively related to corporate performance. The result has shown that board structure has seemed to be significant in listed focused firm with firm performance while board structure of diversified firm seems to be insignificant with firm performance, it might be because of small sample size and dynamics of an emerging economy in India which is different from the developed economies of the world. This study implied that in emerging or developing economy like India, lower independent director usually boost company value, and adequate board size will significantly impact on firm performance both in case of focused and diversified firms. This research paper contribute and fill existing gap in literature on corporate governance by examining and establishing relation between firm performance and board structure with focused and diversified Indian firms.

In the modern scenario of technological growth, the life style of an individual varies with the economic status. The world population is prone towards chronic deadly diseases due to the variety of food habits. The usages of electronic equipments have raised the population to waste their quality time towards exercise. The lack of physical activity has symptoms towards bad quality of life. With this background information, this paper concentrates on predicting the type of heart disease by applying target transformation using various machine learning regression models. This paper uses the Heart disease data set extracted from UCI Machine Learning Repository. The anaconda Navigator IDE along with Spyder is used for implementing the Python code. Our contribution is folded is folded in three ways. First, the data segregation is done and it is preprocessed to extract the relationship and dependency of each parameters. Second, the dataset is subjected to process to identify the target distribution of classes in the dependent variable. Third, the dataset is fitted to the Ridge regressor, Huber regressor, SGD regressor and PerceptronCV regressor by applying with and without target transformation. Fourth, dataset is feature scaled and then fitted to the Ridge regressor, Huber regressor, SGD regressor and PerceptronCV regressor by applying with and without target transformation. Fifth, the performance analysis is done by analyzing the Mean Absolute Error and R2 Score. Experimental results show that, the Perceptron regressor CV has the effectiveness with the mean absolute error of 1.00 and R2 score of 0.04 for the heart disease prediction.
