The concept of smart cities has been gaining attention globally for the past decade. A smart city is one that makes a conscious effort to use smart technologies (such as IoT and CPS) to improve the quality of life of its residents. The Internet of cities is a global network of smart cities. Such a network has hundreds of member cities around the world that could benefit, improve the health of local populations, and collaborate in order to improve cost and energy efficiency of city operation. This paper presents a brief introduction to the Internet of cities.

Sinonasal Disease

We conducted a survey to measure patient quality of life with the Rhinosinusitis Disability Index adapted for the Internet. Our target population was patients who were seeking information on sinonasal disease on the World Wide Web. Usable responses were obtained from 896 patients with self-diagnosed sinonasal disease. According to the survey responses, patients with chronic rhinosinusitis were significantly more bothered by their condition than were patients with allergic rhinitis. Also, women were significantly more impaired by recurrent acute sinusitis and chronic rhinosinusitis than were men. Our findings are consistent with the results of previous surveys conducted by means other than the Internet. This project represents the first quality-of-life survey of an unsolicited group of individuals with sinonasal disease. We believe that use of the Internet will allow researchers to obtain larger patient populations than is now typical with traditional means of survey dissemination.

All around the world, taking stock of buildings older than 1970, when the first energy efficiency arose, is an important one. Today, all urban agglomerations confront themselves with environmental problems generated by air pollution, cars, and buildings, vie for the first place as the highest polluters. In the future, cities will become increasingly populated, and as a result these problems will more and more affect the quality of life. A way to prevent this scenario is a gradual transition to smart cities. In this approach, smart houses will become indispensable. In order to maintain unaltered cities' specificity, the only acceptable solution is to retrofit old buildings, especially of those classified as historical monuments or as iconic buildings. By retrofitting these buildings, they could be prepared for integration in future cities.

The Internet has no doubt added a great deal to the quality of human life today.  It has knitted the world together as a global village.  Many difficulties which hampered international and even national commercial transactions in the past have now been consigned to the dust-bin of history. The emergence of electronic commerce is as a result of the creation of the internet, through which commercial transactions are conducted between parties from different parts of the world and who may never see themselves in their lifetimes. However, the emergence of electronic commerce has also brought with it a number of legal and socio-economic problems, especially in the developing nations such as Nigeria – problems which pose significance challenges to the legal regime of electronic commerce in those countries. This paper examines these legal issues within the context of the current legal and regulatory framework for electronic commerce in Nigeria.

Smart cities have been proposed as information technology strategies to generate solutions for the benefit of large cities to improve their quality of life, through phenomena identification tools that use artificial intelligence. Some work has been aimed at developing the infrastructure for monitoring events and the Internet of things, others merely on data analytics without an application system context. This work cites various investigations on data science processes of the smart cities and reports some of its works whose main topics are planning for the start of a smart city, the framework for the analysis of smart cities, and smart cities big data algorithms for sensors location. In these cases, the experiences in these cases are described as well as the trend towards a new process with the form of monitoring-analysis-evaluation-found pattern-driving object-decision-making and the future of smart cities is finally discussed.

Migration Flows

The world socio-economic space is characterized by an increase in migration flows coupled with an increase in the population as a whole. Over the past decades, the main reason for population migration has been economic. In an effort to improve the quality of life for their own and their families, migrants move to territories other than their usual place of residence, carrying with them their own culture, their worldview, their views on life and society. In this regard, it is important to define the key theoretical understanding of migration flows, revealing the scientific and practical significance for modern estimates of migration.

Globalization and new technology have changed customer expectations radically and information services must change in order to meet new needs while maintaining quality of service. The author identifies fourteen new skills and aptitudes required by information managers if their services are to maintain their relevance in the world of mobile communications and the Internet. These include the ability to share their vision of how a service will operate in the future, to build an organization that embraces change, and to put the customer at the centre of service development. Only by learning and implementing these skills can managers ensure that information services make the most of the unprecedented opportunities for innovation and enrichment of the quality of life that technology provides.
