Kindergarten education is a significant project which is closely related to the future development of the nation and its people's livelihood. With the development of our economy and the improvement of people’s living standard, the demand for high-quality pre-school education is increasing sharply among parents. Unfortunately, present development of kindergartens in our country is far behind the increasing demand of pre-school education which results in the phenomenon of “kindergarten enrollment difficulty” in numerous cities. In the investigation, it is found that planning and layout of kindergartens, shortcomings of their own development and related policies are the factors that interact with each other thus leading to the problem. To deal with those factors, we put up with a set of theoretical models from the angle of planning in the hope that these models can serve as reference for relieving the problem of “kindergarten enrollment difficulty”.

Abstract This chapter presents the social tourism programmes for seniors in Slovenia by focusing on three aspects: (i) What programmes, identifiable within the framework of social tourism, exist in Slovenia? (ii) What adjustments do they include to enable seniors to take part? And (iii) what are the benefits of such programmes? The programmes were analysed in two ways: (i) through the analysis of secondary sources, i.e. review of programme webpages and various data provided by programme organizers in the form of reports; and (ii) through a qualitative survey of key stakeholders in the field of social tourism for seniors. The chapter concludes by presenting perspectives for the future development of social tourism for seniors in Slovenia.

Abstract This chapter presents a case study concerning the practices of social tourism in Finland, with a focus on the challenges and opportunities for development. Representatives of four social tourism associations and the Funding Centre for Social Welfare and Health Organisations (STEA) were interviewed, and their perceptions of the major challenges and opportunities for the future development investigated. Also, the interviewees' opinions of the stimulus model/host-related social tourism, as well as some alternative forms of social tourism implementation that have not been adopted in the Finnish system, were surveyed. The understanding gained can create a basis for, for instance, academic and sociopolitical discussions, further social tourism analysis, and future development and cooperation inside the operational field.

Jupyter notebooks are recently emerging as a valuable pedagogical resource in academy, being adopted in educational institutions worldwide. This is mainly due to their ability to combine the expressiveness of traditional explanations from textbooks, with the interaction capabilities of software applications, which provides numerous benefits for both students and lecturers of different fields. One of the areas that could benefit from their adoption is such of mobile robotics, whose recent popularity has resulted in an increasing demand of trained practitioners with a solid theoretical and practical background. Therefore, there is a need of high quality learning materials adapted to modern tools and methodologies. With that in mind, this work explores how the introduction of Jupyter notebooks in undergraduate mobile robotic courses contributes to improve both teaching and learning experiences. For that, we first present a series of (publicly available) educational notebooks encompassing a variety of topics relevant for robotics, with a particular emphasis in the study of mobile robots and commonly used sensors. Those documents have been built from the ground up to take advantage of the Jupyter Notebook framework, bridging the typical gap between theoretical frame and interactive code. We also present a case study describing the notebooks usage in undergraduate courses at University of Málaga, including a discussion on the promising results and findings obtained.

The issue of onscreen authenticity has become a controversial topic among the public, especially in the Information Era. The reality television phenomenon is global; therefore, it is worth studying the topic of authenticity in reality television in a particular context. We analysed authenticity in reality television through the programme ‘Sing! China’, focusing on which authenticity issues were present and how these issues were depicted. The chosen methodology combined relevant literature and a case study, and the discussion about authenticity in the programme was studied through online audience discourse such as their communications and interactions. The research showed that authenticity in reality television was a type of mediated authenticity by directors. It mainly manifested in two ways: performing authenticity and fabricated authenticity, from the perspective of the performance of participants and the production of programmes respectively. The findings indicated that authenticity in reality television does not fully reflect the truth. This study can not only help us explore manifestations of the truth on the screen, but can also aid in the future development of reality television programmes.

The University is one of the most important pillars of a State. Therefore, the university should be able to produce high-quality human resources and can contribute greatly to the progress of a country in various sectors. High-quality human resources will be able to change the culture of a region, a city and even a country toward a better future, not only in certain sectors but almost all sectors. The main problem in the university, the lecturer is not placed in the right position and still lack of experience possessed by the lecturer, in terms of experience with the subjects taught. This will be answered by using the concept held by Disneyland and this concept developed into a formula L = D3.B. The formula, we created will help in the development of human resources at the university level, with the focus being lecturers and students. furthermore, this formula will greatly assist the university to be able to accept lecturers who have the competence and guide the students to achieve the maximum in themselves, all these things will be able to improve the living standard of the people's economy, with high-quality human resources, it will be able to there is a significant change in the life process, in the future.
