Territorial planning when selecting catchment areas is necessary for increase the availability of water resources. However, changes in land use sometimes occur without taking into account the characteristics of the territory, which can lead to an impact on the environment. Given the multipurpose use, large-scale projects with of private interests, the task becomes more urgent, and there is no related data, there is a mutual influence of infrastructure which necessary for the proper planning and design of hydraulic structures. Identifying suitable areas for certain methods of collecting and retaining water using advanced methods in Geomatics remains one of the important goals of this investigation and the author's dissertation research. This study focuses on the analysis of models and multi-criteria analysis methods used in making decisions about the localization of areas for dam construction that are based with geographic information systems. The author analyzes the paradigms of rationality proposed for making complex decisions, and sets the framework according to which theoretical developments of multi-criteria analysis can provide greater practical significance. The author critically analyzes various approaches and theoretical studies of the subject under consideration. Based on the study, it was concluded that the combination of "multi-criteria analysis method – geoinformation system" has the potential to provide a rational, objective and unbiased approach to decision-making when identifying potential areas when planning the construction of hydraulic structures, as well as the need for an integration component that will speed up decision-making when localizing potential areas, taking into account the main factors, including environmental and social ones.

This paper presents a research experiment that started in 2007 on the French “blue and green infrastructures”. At the prompting of a French local administration, this experiment takes into account ecological stakes and involves actors in territorial planning at a metropolitan scale. Founded on previous works, the goal of the approach builds a participative workshop based on GIS and MCA coupling in order to think collectively and better understand the initial foundation of the method, the problems and proposed solutions, and the theoretical and the practical prerequisites. The final goal suggests methodological solutions to facilitate its generalization and its diffusion. The objectives are: (1) to analyse as objectively as possible the initial approach, methodological and technical choices, constraints, limits, and potential improvements; (2) to take into account questioning about the participative workshop conception and functioning; (3) to test new methodological proposals.

Decision Making Criteria

Introduction. The article presents a method for developing decision-making criteria for fire safety management of large-scale mass events. The formalized decision-making procedure consists in choosing the category of large-scale mass events to ensure the necessary level of fire safety. The task of the research is to formalize the method of developing decision-making criteria that take into account the importance of choice parameters with a single scale of their formation. Methods. To solve the problem of making decisions on fire safety management of large-scale mass events, methods of multi-criteria analysis can be applied. Therefore, this article formalizes the method of developing decision-making criteria, which in the future can become the basis of multi-criteria analysis. This method consists of two main stages of performing calculations: the first is to select the initial data; the second stage is aimed directly at determining the parameters of the criterion. Results and discussion. A method for developing criteria is presented, which consists of performing two consecutive stages. The method allows us to take into account both the preference of criteria and their quantitative importance in the process of making managerial decisions, which allows us to judge its universality. Conclusions. The procedure under study is designed to help in making the most preferable decision when managing fire safety of large-scale mass events. In this case, there is also the task of categorizing such events and ranking them according to various parameters of potential danger, and then correlating each specific large-scale mass event with certain measures to achieve the required level of fire safety.

Threshold Setting

It is inevitable that machine parts will be worn down in production, causing other mechanical failures. With the appearance of wearing, the accuracy and efficiency of machinery gradually decline. The state between healthy and impaired is defined as sub-health. By recognizing the sub-health state of machinery, accuracy and efficiency can be effectively guaranteed, and the occurrence of mechanical failure can be prevented. Compared with simple fault detection, the identification of s sub-health state has more practical significance. For this reason, the sound characteristics of large-scale reciprocating machinery, combined with the concept of OOD (out-of-distribution) detection, are used, and a model for detecting machinery sub-health state is proposed. A planer sound dataset was collected and collated, and the recognition of mechanical sub-health state was realized by a model combining a VGG network and the threshold setting scheme of OOD detection. Finally, an auxiliary decision-making module was added, and Mahalanobis distance was used to represent spatial relationships among samples, further improving the recognition effect.

This paper mainly studies the application of intelligent lighting control system in different sports events in large sports competition venues. We take the Xiantao Stadium, a large­scale sports competition venue in Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province as an example, to study its intelligent lighting control system. In this paper, the PID (proportion – integral – derivative) incremental control model and the Karatsuba multiplication model are used, and the intelligent lighting control system is designed and implemented by multi­level fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model. Finally, the paper evaluates the actual effect of the intelligent lighting control system. The research shows that the intelligent lighting control system designed in this paper can accurately control the lighting of different sports in large stadiums. The research in this paper has important practical significance for the planning and design of large­scale sports competition venues.

UNSTRUCTURED The word blockchain elicits thoughts of cryptocurrency much of the time, which does disservice to this disruptive new technology. Agreed, bitcoin launched in 2011 was the first large scale implementation of blockchain technology. Also, Bitcoin’s success has triggered the establishment of nearly 1000 new cryptocurrencies. This again lead to the delusion that the only application of blockchain technology is for the creation of cryptocurrency. However, the blockchain technology is capable of a lot more than just cryptocurrency creation and may support such things as transactions that require personal identification, peer review, elections and other types of democratic decision-making and audit trails. Blockchain exists with real world implementations beyond cryptocurrencies and these solutions deliver powerful benefits to healthcare organizations, bankers, retailers and consumers among others. One of the areas where blockchain technology can be used effectively is healthcare industry. Proper application of this technology in healthcare will not only save billions of money but also will contribute to the growth in research. This review paper briefly defines blockchain and deals in detail the applications of blockchain in various areas particularly in healthcare industry.

The Face

During Ban Ki-moon’s tenure, the Security Council was shaken by P5 divisions over Kosovo, Georgia, Libya, Syria, and Ukraine. Yet it also continued to mandate and sustain large-scale peacekeeping operations in Africa, placing major burdens on the UN Secretariat. The chapter will argue that Ban initially took a cautious approach to controversies with the Council, and earned a reputation for excessive passivity in the face of crisis and deference to the United States. The second half of the chapter suggests that Ban shifted to a more activist pressure as his tenure went on, pressing the Council to act in cases including Côte d’Ivoire, Libya, and Syria. The chapter will argue that Ban had only a marginal impact on Council decision-making, even though he made a creditable effort to speak truth to power over cases such as the Central African Republic (CAR), challenging Council members to live up to their responsibilities.
