Smart Parking

Parking lots are needed by the general public, especially for those who bring vehicles. The problem is the large numbers of vehicles can cause limitation of the parking lots especially in malls or other public places. Usually people driving around the whole parking lots to find the available ones. when the parking lots are all full, driver must search for other places to park their vehicle immediately. Designing the Smart Parking Finder has the purpose of making it easier for users to get available parking spaces and showing the location of the existing parking lot. On the other hand, it also facilitates the search for parking lots, but can reduce the search time for parking lots, and can also save fuel. For now, the application is still for some parking lots at the mall that have collaborated.

Parking is a problem in many cities. Usually, it is not possible to build new parking lots due to insufficient available areas. This paper focuses on the parking situation in Slovak city Žilina. The authors carried out an extensive traffic survey in private and city-owned parking lots. Not only were occupancy data collected, but also the opinions of the drivers who parked there. The second half of the paper is based on results from the survey. It includes a proposal of the new intelligent parking system which can improve the efficiency of parking. This system is proposed in flowcharts and also described. The intelligent parking system with guidance to a free parking space can improve the traffic situation in cities. Drivers find a free parking space faster, which reduces congestion and various other negative externalities. On the other hand, the system has high acquisition costs and other problems. These issues of smart parking solutions are also discussed in the paper.

AbstractThe Government of Pakistan introduced smoking ordinance about health warning in 2009. This ordinance exhibits, prohibit smoking in public places, put restrictions on advertisements, and prohibits sale of cigarettes to minors. This study is to find out the impact of smoking expenditures on food, health, educational, recreational, and electronic expenditures using HIES dataset for 2010–11 and 2015–16. The findings show that share of food and health expenditure increase by 91 and 92% respectively. On the other hand, education and recreation expenditure decrease by 6 and 98% respectively. This is further verified using SUEST test to compare two datasets regressions. The result reveals that food, health, and recreational coefficient are statistically different while education and electronics expenditure remain similar.

Retinal Structure

The retinas of seven galaxiid species collected from different habitats in Tasmania were investigated by light microscopy. There are remarkable differences between Galaxias and Paragalaxias species. The retinas of Galaxias species are characterised by a less dense retinal epithelial pigment (REP), large numbers of short and long rods, the presence of a tapetum, and stable (non-responsive) single cones in dark-adapted specimens. On the other hand, the common retinal features in Paragalaxias species include few large rods and many cones, the presence of a tapetum, lower summation and a pattern of retinomotor responses not unlike that of most other teleosts. There is no striking retinal feature that could be related to differences in their clear or turbid habitats. In spite of its probably being nocturnal, the retinal structure of P. dissimilis is basically similar to that of other diurnal Paragalaxias species. Some of the ecological constraints placed upon these species are also discussed.

Introduction: Due to increasing the population of cities and the physical-spatial expansion of the cities, vehicles are being used progressively, which has caused many problems for the cities including traffic increase, chaos in finding urban parking lots, increase of environmental pollution, decrease of citizens’ satisfaction, and so on. Among the many urban problems, parking lot is one of the issues that has been heavily debated in recent years. The lack of sufficient number of parking lots, on the one hand, and the related disorder and management problems, on the other hand, have led to a range of managerial and environmental problems. Meanwhile, one of the paradigms that has focused on this issue in recent years is smart city paradigm, which has offered the smart parking. This paradigm believes that parking, as a part of the city’s space, can be smart and can help urban management.   Materials and methods: This is an applied research in terms of purpose and a descriptive-analytical research in terms of nature. The required data were collected using documentary and field studies and SWOT method was used to analyze the data.   Results: This study was conducted to evaluate and investigate the role of smart parking in increasing the efficiency of urban management and its im-pact on reducing air pollution.   Conclusion: Finally, the conclusion of the research have led to key strategies for achieving the research goal.

Increasing Demand

The parking systems in the modern age are under tremendous stress as the number of vehicles on the roads are increasing every year. Due to this increase, the current parking lots do not suffice which leads to people driving for parking spaces thus wasting valuable time and adding to the greenhouse emissions. Therefore, new efficient and innovative solutions need to be developed which meets the ever- increasing demand for parking spaces and be as environmentally friendly as possible. The solution devised in this project is an enhancement of the current parking system with an integrated mobile application which allow drivers to remotely monitor parking lots, make reservation for a spot prior to visiting the parking lot and make in app payments for the parking services. This reduces the time spent in looking for parking spots as well as reduces the unnecessary carbon emissions while offering a practical and seamless parking experience to the users.

The observation of variable stars is one of the most important and the most fruitful areas of stellar astronomy. The contribution of large numbers of visual observations is a determining factor in drawing up light-curves, the latter being the key to the interpretation of the process of variability within these stars.It is not easy for a professional astronomer to obtain access to modern telescopes, especially to those of large aperture, and it may even be difficult, given the large number of projects put forward. In any case, these large instruments are often unsuitable for the observation of variable stars. Amateurs, on the other hand, have instruments that have a lower degree of precision, but their greater number and the good organization that exists for the reduction of data obtained, represent trump cards in preparing light-curves.

The technical advances described in this chapter could markedly aid the struggle to prevent healthcare-associated infection. They range from nanomedicine to oral doses of probiotics and IBM’s Watson computer as diagnostician. The adaptive possibilities include further empowerment of the patient on the one hand and new approaches to bring hard-pressed clinicians emotional relief and improve their interactions with patients on the other hand. Studies have shown that large numbers of physicians have suffered burnout. Many doctors and nurses are not fully attentive in their encounters with patients. Growing numbers of clinicians have begun practicing mindfulness, and a model designed to show how a mindful focus can help clinicians in implementing infection prevention initiatives is presented.

It is claimed that there is an association between the occurrence of depersonalization and obsessional personality (Mayer-Gross, Slater and Roth, 1960). The above authors in their textbook quote Shorvon (1946), who found that in his sixty-six cases of depersonalization (forty-six female, twenty male, with an age of onset distribution of twenty under 20 years, thirty between 20 and 30 years, sixteen between 30 and 40 years), no less than 88 per cent. showed obsessional traits in their personalities. Shorvon excluded involutional depression and severe psychotics from his case material. Mayer-Gross commenting on the above paper stated, “While obsessional personalities are preponderant among his cases, he apparently only included a few cases of cyclothymic temperament. In the latter this symptom is frequent, in fact one-third of my own patients were of this type.” He (1935) had in fact drawn attention to the relatively large numbers of extraverted hypomanic characters, who were subject to depersonalization (one-third of his twenty-six cases), but he also found seven out of twenty-six with obsessional personality. (Mayer-Gross found a striking uniformity of age at the beginning of the syndrome, average 26.6 years, distribution two under 20, eighteen between 20 and 30, six between 30 and 40 and a preponderance of women, twenty out of twenty-six.) On the other hand Anderson (1936) found an incidence of 30 per cent. of depersonalization in a series of fifty cases of depression of later life, drawing attention to the often-remarked upon association between depersonalization and depression.

Structured Questionnaire

This study aimed to inventory, identify, characterize and valorize the various edible non wood forest products (NWFPs) sold in Uíge Province. Data for this study were collected between October 2016 and February 2020. A total of 156 edible NWFPs sellers were individually interviewed using semi-structured questionnaire at the 30 sales sites. 93.5% of edible NWFP sellers were female and 6.5% male. The main edible NWFPs sold in Uíge Province are animal products with 47 species, of which 48.9% are Mammals, 21.3% Insects, 12.8% Actinopterygii, 6.4% Birds, 8.5% Reptiles, and 2.1% Sarcopterygii. Plants represent 38.5% (35 species) of the edible NWFPs sold in the study area, of which 78.8% are Dicotyledones, 21.2% Monocotyledones, 2.9% Gnetophytes and 2.9% Pteridophytes. Besides, Mushrooms account for barely 9.9% of the edible NWFPs sold in this region. On the other hand, edible NWFPs are sold on formal and informal markets, in the bus parking lots, taxi runk, roadsides, restaurants and at the seller’ homes. For the sale of edible forest products, the vendors use non-standardized measuring units. The income generated by the sale of NWFPs is used to solve socio-economic problems in the household, including the purchase of basic necessities, health care, clothing, cosmetics, school materials, well-being, etc.

Advancement in medical technology has helped man kind in several ways and no one can deny the contribution of medical technology in the field of medicine. On the other hand technology has also given rise to some ethical issues. The issue of confidentiality is one of those issues. Patients keeping their trust on physician reveals all concerned confidential information to their physician with surety that physician will not reveal it to other person and will keep it confidential. It has been common in practice that, physicians unintentionally breach their patient’s confidentiality by discussing cases and history of their patients in public places, hospital elevators, and with their students. In a busy hospital setting it can be difficult to maintain confidentiality for patients. Increasing workloads lead to discussions of patients in public areas which is not an acceptable excuse. The very next person present there listening the discussion could be a patient's friend, relative, or media member that is not entitled to this privileged information. In all these cases permission must be received from the patient prior to any disclosure.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bioethics.v2i3.10259Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics 2011;2(3):16-18
