Henderson, Isaac Levi, Mark Avis, Wai Hong Kan Tsui, Thanh Ngo, and Andrew Gilbey. "Compound Brands and the Multi-Creation of Brand Associations: Evidence from Airports and Shopping Malls." Sustainability 15, no. 2 (January 12, 2023): 1450. http://dx.doi.org/10.3390/su15021450.
Full textAbstract:
The authors identify a new type of brand concept, which they term as a compound brand. Compound brands have their brand associations multi-created such that the focal brand entity, their tenants, and ancillary entities all act as sources of primary brand associations. To test the possibility of compound brands, two potential compound brands are studied, airports and shopping malls. This was completed by undertaking 480 semi-structured interviews (240 for each entity) to identify the underlying brand association structure and which associations are important for consumer brand choice. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the qualitative data. Participant responses support that compound brand association structures are created by the focal branded entity (e.g., an airport), its tenants (e.g., shops and restaurants), as well as ancillary entities (e.g., location and customers). The contributions of tenants and ancillary entities towards the brand association structures of airports and shopping malls were also statistically significant with large effect sizes. A continuum exists as to how much of the compound brand’s association structure is created by its tenants, with statistically significant differences between airports and shopping malls in terms of how much tenants contribute to overall brand association structures for the compound brand.

Security system is a protection has a structured cycle, meaning that it has been systemized according to its application in the environment according to its field. Security system is formed is because of threats, crimes and others. A security system is needed at certain events and in special places such as malls and airports to maintain the continuity of the event and security can be well maintained. Everyone who comes to the location must have their luggage checked to minimize the presence of sharp objects that endanger or threaten security at the location. Inspection of passenger objects at the airport is one way to protect the safety and security of airplane passengers. The procedure for checking objects carried by passengers is still carried out manually by airport security officers. The goal is to check whether you find sharp objects or illegal drugs in the passenger's bag. The results of this study are the authors know the working principle and operation of x-ray machines, as well as the number and types of x-ray machines used by Husein Sastranegara International Airport.

Trolley is the device used for carrying load or to transport the material from one point to another. For different types of application various types of trollies are available in the market. Depending upon the specific use the one will select the trolley, but it is limited to do a specific work. To overcome this problem, a new trolley was designed which could be used for multi-purpose. There are many types of trolley available in the market for various fields like airport, shopping malls, industries, hospitals etc. to carry the heavy or light loads. This paper contains the development of trolley, which includes design on the basis of creativity skills and fabrication, which can be used for more than one type of task. The trolley designed is the integration of airport trolley and shopping mall trolley. One more advantageous feature added to the design was a motorized wheel which reduces the human effort for carrying of load and also it can be operated manually if required.

For months we have been locked out of Junkspace. So, who’s complaining? Confined to domestic spaces, #stayhome has given many of us a forced opportunity to rethink the type of spaces that are not only functional and useful, but that make us feel comfortable. Our own residential arena may have felt restrictive and even – for some – oppressive at times, but who would say that they truly missed their daily passage through the endlessly stale air of check-in desks, departure gates, and duty frees at the airport; the epic journeys through low ceiling corridors and passageways of railway terminals and subway stations; and the blinding hallucinatory proliferation of brands and franchises in malls…?

Analysis and detection of unusual events in public and private surveillance system is a complex task. Detecting unusual events in surveillance video requires the appropriate definition of similarity between events. The key goal of the proposed system is to detect behaviours or actions that can be considered as anomalies. Since suspicious events differ from domain to domain, it remains a challenge to detect those events in major domains such as airport, super malls, educational institutions etc. The proposed Mean Feature Point Matching (MFPM) algorithm is used for detecting unusual events. The Speeded-Up Robust Features (SURF) method is used for feature extraction. The MFPM algorithm compares the feature points of the input image with the mean feature points of trained dataset. The experimental result shows that the proposed system is efficient and accurate for wide variety of surveillance videos.

In this research, we designed and implemented an advanced metal detector based on the Atmega328p microprocessor; it is used in the security field to prevent the entry of dangerous metal tools or explosives to places that require a high degree of safety such as schools, airports, universities and commercial malls. Where the mechanism of the electronic scheme of the detector was understood, including what it contains of active and passive electronic components, the microprocessor used how to program it and its technical specifications were identified. After that, we converted the electronic diagram into a printed circuit board (PCB) via easyada.com, And then print this circuit on special paper so that we can transfer it on the copper board, and a special solution was used to remove the copper residues from the board, after that holes were created and the electronic elements were soldered, Moving on to the software part, the Arduino Uno chip was used to act as an ISP programmer, through which the Atmaga328p controller was programmed using AVRDUDESS software, tested with a small coil with a diameter of 1.5cm. The detector gave excellent performance in detecting metal pieces such as copper, aluminum, iron and silver, as well as electrical wires in the walls, where the device screen shows the signal strength of the captured metal as well as the numerical symbol of the metal. It also discovered the presence of a sharp tool hidden in the mouth, shoes or inside the clothes, and the device achieved high performance In discovering metal parts and determining their properties, with an accuracy of 80%.

Our aim is to provide a comprehensive summary of the evolution of indoor navigation technologies. Indoor navigation is a system that is used to locate the exact locations inside a campus. To provide a technological aspect of indoor positioning systems, there are a wide range of technologies and approaches. This system does not use the GPS (Global Positioning System) and any other Internet technologies. The aim is to create an app that would show the users a navigation route in the real world via mobile device’s screen. This can be beneficial to citizens in their day to day life as it allows the user to precisely navigate to a specific location in an architecture they have never been to before, such as an airport terminal, a classroom or the library in a campus, malls/retail store to navigate the customers to the items they would like to purchase etc. The created framework ought to give, progressively, valuable route data that empowers a user to settle on reasonable and convenient choices on which course to continue in an indoor space.

Abstract: The conventional floor cleaning machines is most widely used in airport platforms, railway platforms, hospitals, bus stands, malls and in many other commercial places. These devices need an electrical energy for its operation and not user friendly. In India, especially in summer, there is power crisis and most of the floor cleaning machine is not used effectively due to this problem, particularly in bus stands. Hence it is a need to develop low cost, user friendly floor cleaning machine. In this project, an effort has been made to develop a solar powered mobile operated floor cleaning machine so that it can be an alternative for conventional floor cleaning machines. In this work, modelling and analysis of the floor cleaning machine was done using suitable commercially available software. The conventionally used materials were considered for the components of floor cleaning machine. From the finite element analysis, we observe that the stress level in the mobile operated floor cleaning machine is within the safe limit. Keywords: Floor cleaning, Floor dryer , Arduino Uno, Bluetooth Communication, LCD display etc.

Technology has revolutionized human world over the past centuries. The world has started to move towards the autonomous world. However, in terms of security and safety of humans from antisocial threat person, technology has not achieved its peak in providing autonomous system. Places such as airport, railways stations, and malls are well secured either by metal detectors or by manual scrutiny. Moreover, the current scenario demands a very high security in common places such as hospital, schools, and community halls where manual security checks might not be possible. In this work an autonomous system is developed to detect and track concealed weapons with potential to stop the threat person before causing any harm or danger. The system achieves its task by carrying out three main functions in a sequential order. A microwave sensor and metal detector together detects the concealed weapon by means of the Doppler shift in the radiation and eddy currents induced in the metal respectively. Secondly, the output voltage from the microwave senor is processed by a microcontroller. Lastly, a DC motor attached with a laser pointer, receives input from microcontroller such that rotates in a direction pointing the concealed weapon.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of the e-commerce based on the development of ICT technology has grown more explosively due to the aftermath of social distancing caused by the spread of COVID-19. Because of the rapid increase of global express cargo since 2020, Global express service problems are detected from the major ports and airports in all countries. This phenomenon is expected to continue for the time being due to the proliferation of non-face-to-face transactions and an increase in diverse consumer demand. Global express service is the industry most affected by the delay of global logistics services, and various problems such as delay in delivery as well as sales of counterfeit goods, product damage, and tariffs are being pointed out. In particular, as the purchasing agency of overseas products spreads in domestic online shopping malls, not only consumers but also various entities that provide express services are faced with various problems. Accordingly, the Korean government is seeking various solutions, but there is a limitation in that it cannot take into account the characteristics of various entities participating in global express services. In this study, we define gobal express service as a standard process from the perspective of the global supply chain, and identify possible risk factors in 9 stages from the stage of ordering overseas products to receiving the goods after arriving at Incheon International Airport, the possible risk factors were identified in 9 stages to determine their relative importance. In addition, based on the survey results of those who have experienced direct purchases overseas and those involved in global express service, risk factors with high priority were compared and analyzed from the perspective of the participants. Based on this, the damage of the top 10 risk factors is divided into 4 categories : Reliability/Trust, Lead Time, Cost, and Quality/Safety. Countermeasures in terms of policy, system, and service operation were presented for each risk factor.

Abstract: The last two decades have witnessed hectic real estate activity especially the proliferation of residential townships. Not only the metropolitans but even the mid-sized cities have adopted the apartment or commonly called the flat system of housing. The twenty-first-century house buyer wants to be in the vicinity of Malls, entertainment places, shopping areas, and gyms. Almost every middle-class household owns a car and many of them have more than one, yet want near to the workplace, education institutions, and hospitals as also a striking distance from Airport, etc. Real estate works in micro markets and the cost of apartments normally is talked about in cost/sqft. The house buyer has a set of requirements to be met in a given budget but he gets to hear and talked about huge claims, jargons, and fuzzy cost calculations. Thus, one is neither clear about the overall amenities, nor the square feet and not even the total cost quoted by different builders at the decision-making time. This paper presents enlistment of quality-of-life parameters as identified from the literature survey and the survey. Further, a Value Approach is presented that could be used for rating real estate products based on the parameters that directly impinge on the QOL (Quality of Life) of the homebuyer and the value he or she places on them

Abstract: Since the infectious coronavirus disease (COVID-19) was first reported, it has become a public health problem in and even around the world. This pandemic is having devastating effects on societies and economies around the world. Healthcare officials from the World Health Organization and local authorities are propelling people to wear face masks as it is one of the comprehensive strategies to overcome the transmission. However, wearing a face mask that prevents the transmission of droplets in the air and maintaining an appropriate physical distance between people, and reducing close contact with each other can still be beneficial in combating this pandemic. Therefore, we focus on implementing a face mask detection model as a vision system. People violating social distancing or not wearing masks were detected using this model. It has been trained with the dataset that contains around 4000 images and compiled for differentiating accuracy to choose the best for this type of model. This solution tracks the people with or without masks in a scenario and this can be used with the existing embedded infrastructure to enable these analytics which can be applied to various verticals, as well as in an office building or at airport terminals/gates Mask has been a comprehensive strategy to overcome the transmission. So, the face mask detection model detects the face of individuals and concludes whether they are wearing masks or not at that particular moment when they are captured in the image. Existing system uses manpower. It indicates whether a person is wearing a face mask or not manually by means of manpower. Due to COVID pandemic masks are essential in public places such as airports, railways, schools, offices, shopping malls etc... So, manual checking is a hectic process. Face Mask Detection model is an application to detect people if they are wearing a mask or not. This system is capable of training the dataset of both persons wearing masks and without wearing masks. It uses python and machine learning. After training the model the system can predict whether the person is wearing the mask or not.

Introduction:Ramón y Cajal Hospital is the reference medical centre for Madrid-Barajas airport. Passengers arriving at the airport who need medical assistance are brought to this hospital. A percentage of these passengers require psychiatric evaluation and frequently need to be admitted into the ward for a certain length of time.Objective:Perform a descriptive analysis of the socio-demographic and clinical variables of inward psychiatric patients referred from Madrid-Barajas airport.Methods:Revise retrospectively clinical histories of inward psychiatric patients referred from Madrid-Barajas airport in the last 5 years.Data is analyzed using the SPSS software 15.0 version.Results:We collected 99 patients, 54 of them (54.5%) are males. The 38.4% of the sample is in the age range between 25 and 34 years, and the 26.3% are between 35 and 44 years old. The most frequent countries of origin are European countries (57.6% of the sample). 28 patients of that group (49.1%) are Spanish citizens. Other 26% percent of the patients are from Centre or South-America. The most common syndromic diagnosis at discharge is psychotic disorder (62.6%) followed by affective disorder (22.2%).Conclusion:We can deduce from these data that the usual patient referred from Madrid-Barajas airport to the emergencies department for psychiatric attention is a male, between 25 and 34 years of age, from a European country, with a psychotic disorder that usually ends up in an admission into the psychiatric hospitalization unit.

SummaryIt was the objective of this study to confirm the hypothesis that women experience an increased risk of pulmonary embolism (PE) and/or thromboembolic events after long-distance air travel. We systematically reviewed the records of all patients with confirmed pulmonary embolism after arrival at Roissy-Charles-de-Gaulle (CDG) Airport (Paris, France) during a 13-year period.The incidence of PE was calculated as a function of distance travelled and gender using Bayesian conditional probabilities obtained in part from a control population of long-distance travellers arriving in French Polynesia (Tahiti). A total of 287.6 million passengers landed at CDG airport during the study period. The proportion of male to female long-distance travellers was estimated to be 50.5% to 49.5%. Overall, 116 patients experienced PE after landing [90 females (78%), 26 males (22%)]. The estimated incidence of PE was 0.61 (0.61–0.61) cases per million passengers in females and 0.2 (0.20–0.20) in males, and reached 7.24 (7.17–7.31) and 2.35 (2.33–2.38) cases, respectively, in passengers travelling over 10,000 km. Our study strongly suggests that there is a relationship between risk of PE after air travel and gender.This relationship needs to be confirmed in order to develop the best strategy for prophylaxis.

Full textAbstract:
Abandoned object/luggage is a major threat in all public scenes like hospitals, railway stations, airports and shopping malls. Abandoned luggage may contain explosive, biological warfare or smuggled goods. Abandoned object detection is the process to identify the unattended strange object within a specific time. It is also crucial to identify the person who has abandoned the luggage in the scene. Video surveillance is one of the essential techniques for automatic video analysis to extract crucial information or relevant scenes. The main objectives of this work is the automatic detection of abandoned objects and related persons in public areas like airports, railway stations, shopping malls etc. Video enhancement techniques like residual dense networks are adopted to improve the quality of the image before applying it to detect the abandoned objects and related humans. The scenario of abandoned objects and related humans are identified through distance differencing methods. Once the scene is identified, the method is capable of producing alert messages or alarms in real-time through automated means. A fuzzy rule based threat assessment module is also incorporated in this work which reduces the false alarm rate. The related person is identified through reconstruction of the face through super-resolution techniques. Experiments are found to be appreciable in terms of the metrics in video enhancement, detection, fuzzification and face super-resolution.

The main scope of this trial was to investigate the efficacy of sterile insect technique (SIT) on wild population egg hatch rate in Greece using mass-produced sterile male mosquitoes from another country (Italy). The study was conducted in Vravrona area, close to Athens International Airport (Attica Region). The number of eggs laid in ovitraps was similar in all intervention and control plots. However, a significant reduction in egg hatch rate was recorded in the SIT plot in comparison with both control plots starting two weeks after the first release. This trial validates the logistics (transportation, releases handling and monitoring) as a major step towards implementing efficient, environmentally safe control approaches as an additional tool against the invasive Aedes species in Greece and more widely in Europe.

Human Anomaly Detection can be used in order to identify thefts, terrorist attacks, fighting, and fires in susceptible areas including banks, parking areas, hospitals, shopping malls, universities, colleges, schools, borders, airports, bus and railway stations, etc. Video surveillance can be used in crowded areas to identify anomalies and analyse human behaviour to detect theft and vandalism. It will also help to prevent inappropriate behaviour such as fighting among humans by monitoring the perimeter of the location, for the safety of people. It can be used to monitor the suspicious activity of humans in crowded places.

AbstractEvery year around 1000 Nepali migrant workers die abroad. Every one in three females and one in ten males commit suicide, reflecting a high mental health risk among Nepali migrant workers. This study aims to identify triggers of mental ill-health among Nepali migrant workers and their perceptions on the need of mental health components in the pre-departure orientation programme. We conducted five focus group discussions (FGD) and seven in-depth interviews with Nepali migrant workers and eight semi-structured interviews with stakeholders working for migrants. Participants were invited at Kathmandu’s international airport on return from abroad, at hotels or bus stations near the airport, through organisations working for migrants, and participants’ network. All FGD and interviews were conducted in Kathmandu and audio recorded, transcribed and translated into English. Data were analyzed thematically. High expectations from families back home, an unfair treatment at work, poor arrangements of accommodation, loneliness and poor social life abroad were frequently reported factors for poor mental health. Access to mental health services abroad by Nepali migrant was also poor. We found little on mental health in the pre-departure orientation. We need to improve our knowledge of mental health risks to provide better, more focused and more up-to-date pre-departure training to new migrant workers leaving Nepal.

The tourism industry strongly contributes to the gross domestic product of many countries. An important aspect of the tourism industry is the security of tourists and its connection to the overall tourism security of a country or tourist location. It is essential to identify vulnerable areas and require security improvements within the tourism industry. This study aims to identify security gaps in the Mediterranean city of Antalya from a tourist perspective. Tourists have been classified in this study as leisure tourists, business tourists, and special event tourists. The research identified expectations and perceptions gaps in the transportation sector, accommodation sector, airports, and public places of Antalya. Data was collected from a sample size of 551 tourists residing in 34 different countries in Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East. Findings show gaps exist specifically in the levels of security of buses, hotels, airports, shopping malls, restaurants, tourist sites, and beaches of Antalya. The research also assessed the influence of tourists’ purpose of travel and country of residence on their expectations and perceptions of security in Antalya. The study ultimately identified gaps concerning the security of tourists visiting Antalya, and future studies can explore the issues related to these tourism industry’s components in which gaps exist.

Dimension stones have been used in many different environments, like airports, shopping malls, commercial buildings and houses, due to their beauty and quality. However, the choice of the ideal material for application in a given environment is a challenging decision. Esthetic patterns determine the choice in most of the cases, instead of the physical and mechanical properties, which can cause damages and even accidents. Thus, this research aims to propose a quality index using technological characterization lab tests established by international and national regulations. This index can be used to help practitioners in the choice of the proper dimension stone for a given environment, minimizing pathologies. An extensive database encompassing many lab tests for technological characterization of dimension stones was used in this research.

It is used for rapid screening of human body temperature in crowded places at the entrance and exit of airports, docks, shopping malls, stations and schools. But when the outdoor temperature approaches or exceeds the body temperature in summer, can this method of measuring body surface temperature by infrared thermal imager be used as a standard for screening fever? Under the condition of high temperature in summer, the field experiment of measuring body temperature by infrared thermal imager is carried out, the experimental results are analyzed. We recommend the use of relative temperature difference for screening patients with fever.

Abstract: The advanced footstep power generation system using RFID for charging is a sustainable and innovative system designed to generate electricity from the footsteps of individuals using RFID technology. This system consists of a footstep power generator, an RFID reader, and a charging unit. The footstep power generator converts kinetic energy from footsteps into electrical energy, which is then stored in a battery. The RFID reader identifies the individual and sends a signal to the charging unit to provide power to the individual's electronic device.This system can be implemented in public places such as airports, shopping malls, and parks to provide a convenient and sustainable source of energy for charging electronic devices. The use of RFID technology ensures that only authorized individuals can access the charging unit, and it prevents unauthorized access.

Full textAbstract:
Automated parking systems play an important role in improving the utilization of parking facilities, particularly in busy public areas that receive many visitors, such as airports, government buildings, and shopping malls. The current parking facilities of airports in Saudi Arabia use barrier gates and ticket-issuing machines. Such parking facilities increase the waiting time at every circulation point, especially at the entry and exit terminals, and when a large number of vehicles are waiting in the queue. In this study, we address this problem by applying an automated technology at the entry/exit terminals of the current parking facilities. In particular, we introduce a parking system that uses radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology for the entry and exit terminals. The basic components of the current entry/exit system and the proposed one (i.e., using RFID technology) are described in detail. Subsequently, a simulation model for the entry/exit system using Arena 14.7 is developed to evaluate the current and proposed entry/exit systems. The evaluation is based on two performance metrics: average waiting time and average number of waiting vehicles. The developed simulation model is validated using actual data through a systematic procedure. The outcome of this study shows that the proposed RFID-based entry/exit system significantly outperforms the current system. Similarly, the validated results confirm the robustness of the simulation model. Thus, it can be concluded that an RFID-based parking system will provide an effective solution for parking facilities.

Aspects of the anatomy and morphology of crowned plovers (Vanellus coronatus) collected over a period of one year at the J.B.M. Hertzog (Bloemfontein) and B.J. Vorster (Kimberley) airports were investigated. The renewal of plumage in both sexes apparently takes place mainly during the summer months. Except for some bill dimensions, all standard body measurements of adult and immature males are significantly larger than those of females. No clear seasonal pattern could be distinguished in the body and liver mass of the birds. Seasonal variations in the visible fat content of adult crowned plovers of both sexes are probably related to breeding activities and the availability of food.

Indoor Positioning system (IPS) is the technology that is used to locate smart phones, people or other objects inside a building where Global Positioning System (GPS) doesn’t work or lack precision such as airports, underground locations, parking, multi-storey buildings etc…There is no fixed standard for implementing IPS rather it could be customized according to the location chosen. IPS in turn uses a number of technologies such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Beacons, magnetic positioning, dead reckoning etc…Among the various technologies available studies prove that Magnetic localization provides a most efficient solution for Indoor positioning. Our paper focuses on building an indoor navigation mobile application for a retail store that allows users to search for a product and navigate them to the particular aisle in which the product is located. There by enabling the application to be location sensitive and context aware. In order to collect magnetic fingerprints and convert the obtained data into latitude and longitude values we make use of an API called IndoorAtlas, which helps in locating smart phones inside a building using the accelerometer, gyroscope, magnetometer and Bluetooth in a mobile. Magnetic localization is the concept where deflections of magnetic field from the steel structures inside the building will be captured by the magnetometer and other sensors within a mobile and that will be used to locate a smart phone inside a building. The same application could be utilized for various use cases such as Supermarkets & Hypermarkets, museums & galleries, Libraries, Hospitals, Airports & stations, Shopping malls, Exhibition and Conferences.

New generations of disinfection robots could be developed to navigate in high-risk, high-touch areas. Public spaces, such as airports, schools, malls, hospitals, workplaces and factories could benefit from robotic disinfection in terms of task accuracy, cost, and execution time. The aim of this work is to integrate and analyse the performance of Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) algorithm, as global path planner, coupled with Dynamic Window Approach (DWA) for reactive collision avoidance using a ROS-based software prototyping tool. This paper introduces our solution – a SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) and optimal path planning-based approach for performing autonomous indoor disinfection work. This ROS-based solution could be easily transferred to different hardware platforms to substitute human to conduct disinfection work in different real contaminated environments.

CCTV-based video monitoring technology is one of the fastest growing security technologies markets. The existing video monitoring systems are, however, still not in a position to be used to prevent crime. For public safety purposes, large networks of cameras are increasingly deployed in public places like Residential Buildings, College Campus, offices, airports, railway stations, and shopping malls. Such systems are primarily dependent on human observers and are therefore limited over long periods by factors such as exhaustion and monitoring. In order to overcome this constraint, "intelligent" systems are required, which can highlight the critical data and remove normal conditions that are not a safety hazard. We propose a model utilizing machine learning techniques in order to build these smart systems. This research aims to create an application in real time, which is necessary for labs, places of work or homes where human detection and Recognition will be done for human safety

With the increasing demand for location-based services such as railway stations, airports, and shopping malls, indoor positioning technology has become one of the most attractive research areas. Due to the effects of multipath propagation, wireless-based indoor localization methods such as WiFi, bluetooth, and pseudolite have difficulty achieving high precision position. In this work, we present an image-based localization approach which can get the position just by taking a picture of the surrounding environment. This paper proposes a novel approach which classifies different scenes based on deep belief networks and solves the camera position with several spatial reference points extracted from depth images by the perspective- n -point algorithm. To evaluate the performance, experiments are conducted on public data and real scenes; the result demonstrates that our approach can achieve submeter positioning accuracy. Compared with other methods, image-based indoor localization methods do not require infrastructure and have a wide range of applications that include self-driving, robot navigation, and augmented reality.

SynopsisJenkinset al.(1981) published data on rates of admission to three psychiatric hospitals for 12 large samples of people living near London's Heathrow Airport. The percentages of people who were classified as being affluent, living alone, males having moved within last five years, unemployed, and immigrants, as well as the levels of aircraft noise to which they were exposed, were given for each of the samples. Multiple-correlation analyses revealed the following: (1) movement of males in the previous five years was not generally associated with hospital admission rates; (2) immigrant status, living alone, and affluence were negatively, and generally statistically significantly, associated with admission rates; and (3) unemployment and level of exposure to aircraft noise were positively, and generally statistically significantly, associated with admission rates. Unlike the conclusion reached by Jenkinset al., it is concluded from the present analysis of their data that there are statistically significant associations between psychiatric hospital admission rates and level of exposure to aircraft noise. This difference in findings appears to be due to a more comprehensive assessment of the interrelations of all the tested socioeconomic and aircraft noise variables by the multiple-correlation procedure used in the present analysis, in comparison with the graphic modelling assessment applied by Jenkinset al.to a limited portion of the socioeconomic data. Together, the five socioeconomic and aircraft noise variables correlate at about 0·98 with hospitalization rates for most population groups.

Full textAbstract:
A salvage translocation of western brush wallabies (Notamacropus irma (Jourdan, 1837)) was a condition of approval to build a new runway at Jandakot Airport, Western Australia. Since little is known about this endemic Western Australian species, the translocation presented a valuable opportunity to gain information on the species after release into Harry Waring Marsupial Reserve, a 260-ha reserve where these animals had been recorded previously. We aimed to gain information on the biology and ecology of the species and follow the movement of individuals tracked with Global Positioning System (GPS) collars over six months to determine their short-term survival, home-range establishment, overlap in home range between individuals, and habitat utilisation in the reserve. Weekly mean home-range estimates did not differ between males (10.0±9.7 (s.d.) ha, 95% KDE, n=6) and females (12.1±6.1 (s.d.) ha, 95% KDE, n=5) (P=0.473). Some males had 67–70% overlap in home ranges with some females, but substantial distances maintained between individuals (from 123±110m to 292±303m) confirmed the solitary nature of the species. Western brush wallabies preferred Banksia spp. woodlands, possibly due to the availability of canopy cover, and some specific understorey associations, such as Hibbertia hypericoides, that form part of their diet. Our study highlighted the importance of understanding the home-range establishment and vegetation preferences of translocated animals that will inform the planning of future translocations.

Full textAbstract:
Video surveillance systems are deployed at many places such as airports, train stations, and malls for security and monitoring purposes. However, it is laborious to search for and retrieve persons in multicamera surveillance systems, especially with cluttered backgrounds and appearance variations among multiple cameras. To solve these problems, this paper proposes a person retrieval method that extracts the attributes of a masked image using an instance segmentation module for each object of interest. It uses attributes such as color and type of clothes to describe a person. The proposed person retrieval system involves four steps: (1) using the YOLACT++ model to perform pixelwise person segmentation, (2) conducting appearance-based attribute feature extraction using a multiple convolutional neural network classifier, (3) employing a search engine with a fundamental attribute matching approach, and (4) implementing a video summarization technique to produce a temporal abstraction of retrieved objects. Experimental results show that the proposed retrieval system can achieve effective retrieval performance and provide a quick overview of retrieved content for multicamera surveillance systems.

- This paper aims to combine communication and urban issues, moving from the concepts of identity and culture. The becoming of the city is the key of this work; in particular, city is seen as shifting from something finished and defined to something immaterial, whose borders are continuously changing. The Fordist city and its industrial production concentrated around industry are just a memory. The places which once hosted machines and workers has become locations for culture and loisir. Several consequences are implied in such trend: the emerging of the spatial concept of "periurban", and of some places as change symbols of the social morphology of the city: airports, highways, shopping malls. In the past, geographers and urban planners felt the urge to individuate borders and limits to the city; today, flexibility seems the prominent characteristic of such "new" places; in other words, flexibility is one of the most requested elements of periurban areas, which are trying to escape as much as possible from a regulated urban planning.Key words: sprawl, unfinished city, CID (Common Interest Developments), periurban.
