The new Internet of Things/Everything (IoT/IoE) paradigm and architecture allows one to rethink the way Smart City infrastructures are designed and managed, but on the other hand, a number of problems have to be solved. In terms of mobility the cities that embrace the sensoring era can take advantage of this disruptive technology to improve the quality of life of their citizens, also thanks to the rationalization in the use of their resources. In Sii-Mobility, a national smart city project on mobility and transportation, a flexible platform has been designed and here, in this paper, is presented. It permits one to set up heterogeneous and complex scenarios that integrate sensors/actuators as IoT/IoE in an overall Big Data, Machine Learning and Data Analytics scenario. A detailed and complex case-study has been presented to validate the solution in the context of a system that dynamically reverse the traveling direction of a road segment, with all the safety conditions in place. This case study composes several building blocks of the IoT platform, which demonstrate that a flexible and dynamic set-up is possible, supporting security, safety, local, cloud and mixed solutions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the formulation and psychological treatment of a complex case whereby a combination of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) has resulted in violent and aggressive behaviour. Design/methodology/approach This paper provides a brief summary of literature in relation to ASD, OCD and risk-offending behaviour followed by a case study of a man (referred to as “John”) with a diagnosis of ASD and OCD who has an extensive history of institutional violence and aggressive behaviour. Findings This paper highlights the complexity of a case that may support research suggesting that impaired theory of mind, poor emotional regulation and problems with moral reasoning increase the risk of an individual with ASD engaging in violence, in addition to a comorbidity of ASD and OCD resulting in a more severe and treatment-resistant form of OCD. Originality/value This paper highlights the challenges faced when working with a patient with Asperger’s syndrome and OCD with entrenched beliefs that lead to the use of violence as a compulsion to temporarily overcome unpleasant thoughts related to low self-esteem.

As populations increase, so do the challenges in feeding the world. Rural Advisory Services (RAS) contribute positively to food security by ensuring rural populations have access to vital knowledge increasing yields and rural incomes. For historical reasons however, national RAS have often developed into complex networks of stakeholders which can confuse, and even in some cases provide conflicting advice. In order to improve internal and external knowledge of an advisory service, this article investigates the benefits and limitations of an approach that combines qualitative and quantitative stakeholder perception activities at a local and national level. Local and national workshops were held using focus group and open fora techniques in order to portray and visualise a crop health advisory system in Pakistan, a dynamic and complex case study. The approach manages to expose key differences between local and national perceptions of a crop health RAS: whilst both local and national workshop participants decidedly agree on the importance of local (provincial and district level) extension departments, local perceptions clearly identified the strength and value of private sector and community level interactions. At the national workshop, interpretations of ground level activities were vague, yet their mentions of microcredit initiatives, large scale Non-Government Organisation activities and semi-autonomous institutions demonstrate knowledge at a different scale. This approach demonstrates the value of an accessible methodology to measure and understand RAS. Whilst this approach is a key component in assessing the system’s dynamism prior to any future development initiative, it needs to refine its integration of gendered perceptions.

Artificial mechanical heart valve (MHV) replacement is the common cardiovascular surgical procedure, yet its effect is far from satisfaction. Most important reasons lie in the model design and choice of the materials in the fabrication of the prosthetic heart valves. Based on systematic design methodology of TRIZ theory (Russian acronym for Theory of Solving Inventive Problem), the device structure is analyzed by comparing the past successful designs generated during the evolution of MHV. This paper represents a modeling technique integrating the well-established TRIZ with the conflict and contradiction modeling, substance-field and product functional analysis tools and provides some important trends in evolutionary development of production systems in MHV design. By analyzing the structural behavior and material performance, a complex case study from the research of different structural patterns and characteristics of current tri-leaflet modeling shows the validity of TRIZ theory to guide MHV design.

Energy for water abstraction limits the viability of some irrigable areas. Increasing efficiency and introducing renewable energy can reduce energy cost. Solar pumping is a widely recognized renewable energy solution. These pumping systems suffer special wear out due to sudden changes and for having working conditions far from the nominal points. Thus, monitoring systems are becoming more frequent for maintenance issues. A new decision support system, named AS-Solar, was developed to perform predictive maintenance. This model permits detecting if the source of the anomaly in the pump performance is the pump, the electrical components (motor, variable frequency drive (VFD) or cables) or the pumping pipe. It demands real-time data from the monitoring system and an accurate simulation model, together with an optimization process that helps in the decision making in predictive maintenance. To validate the developed model, it was applied to a complex case study of a solar pumping system of 40 kWp that abstracts groundwater from nearly 200 m deep. This pumping system has a VFD, two lines of cables up to the pump and aggressive water with slimes, which causes different problems in the pumping system. In this case study, the AS-Solar model shows an acceptable accuracy, with a relative error (RE) of the 2.9% in simulated power and 7.9% in simulated discharge.
