3D Modeling Technology Based On Computer Aided Environment Design

Voltage violation of the distribution network greatly affects the power supply quality and the use’s power consumption experience. To better improve the voltage quality of the power grid, real-time analysis of voltage violation can helps power grid personnel to handle voltage violation instantly and efficiently though analyzing the attribute indicators on dis-tribution network lines. However, many studies are concerned only with the single voltage violation cause, and ignore the more complicated phenomenon of voltage violations. In this paper, we proposed a joint attributes based neural network multi-classification (JANN) model that take mutual influence between attributes from different nodes in the distribution network into account when voltage violations are detected. Concretely, we construct the set of joint attributes from each node in the distribution network though real-time monitoring of the power grid. Then the joint attribute based neural network model is constructed to analyze the voltage violation phenomenon, and determine the cause multi-classification of voltage violations. Experimental results show that the proposed (JANN) method can reach 95.79% F1-score rate on multi-classification of voltage violation causes.

Empirical Investigation on the Characteristics and Perceived Value of Patients in Medical Treatment Seeking: In-Depth Research in Zhejiang Province of China

Background. Patient Perceived Value (PPV) provides a valuable perspective to explain why the government reforms on health system in terms of functional medical treatment performance improvement did not decrease the crowded waiting line or increased patient satisfaction in China. Methods. Questionnaires comprising seven constructs were sent to patients from seven highly recognized hospitals in Zhejiang Province of China. It was collected via face-by-face in a twelve-month period (2019), and 2586 valid data were collected for SPSS statistic accordingly. Results. Besides the significance of the functional medical treatment values (such as the treatment effectiveness, accurate price, standardization, and normalization), the emotional values (reasonable waiting time, convenient accessibility, communication with doctors/nurses) were significant in patients’ consciousness. Patient medical treatment seeking preferences were affected by patients’ background characteristics and perceived value, which consequently produced differentiated patients’ satisfaction. Patients’ characteristics, which related to the age, gender, illness conditions, educational, and income level, would have different demanding in medical treatment seeking. These young female patients in outpatient or in mild illness conditions with higher educational and income levels tend to be relatively high in timing and convenience demanding. Conclusion. This result would change the policy maker and hospitals to considerate the patients’ emotional value as well as functional value in providing medical treatment. Classified patients’ time arrangement tactics consistent with distinguished characteristics, equipped up with convenient accessibility and interconnected medical treatment environment design, can create valuable patients’ satisfaction in China.

Urban Environment Design: New Methodological Approaches Based on the Biosphere Compatibility Paradigm (Part 2)

Постановка задачи. Новые вызовы современности существенным образом влияют на методологию градостроительства. Актуальной научной задачей, требующей выявления закономерностей функционирования городских элементов планировочных структур (жилых районов), следует считать разработку новых принципов жизнедеятельности города, регламентирующих биосферную совместимость городов и развитие человеческого капитала. Результаты. В работе получили развитие методологические основы градостроительного планирования, проектирования и оценки вариантов проектных решений жилых планировочных единиц города (квартала, микрорайона, жилого района) на принципах парадигмы биосферной совместимости городов и поселений, развивающих человека. Предложена концептуальная модель функционально-планировочной организации территории - иерархия функций города. Разработан алгоритм оценки вариантов проектов планировки жилых районов на основе индекса обеспеченности городскими функциями. Для каждой из функций города определен необходимый и достаточный состав индикаторов оценки проектных решений. Обсуждается перспектива количественной оценки социального благополучия населения жилых районов биосферосовместимого города как безальтернативного условия формирования комфортной городской среды. Вывод. Выполненная численная оценка проектного решения и сравнительный анализ уровня благоприятности жилого микрорайона с использованием принципов парадигмы биосферной совместимости показывают, какие изменения требуются в составе градостроительных решений не только для достижений качества материальной среды жизнедеятельности, но и для развития человека во всех отношениях. Statement of the problem. New challenges of our time significantly affect the methodology of urban planning. The development of new principles of city life, regulating the biosphere compatibility of cities and the development of human capital, should be considered an urgent scientific task that requires identifying the patterns of functioning of urban elements of planning structures (residential areas). Results. The paper develops the methodological foundations of urban planning, design and evaluation of design options for residential planning units of the city (quarter, neighborhood, residential area) on the principles of the paradigm of biosphere compatibility of cities and man-made settlements.. A conceptual model of the functional and planning organization of the territory-the hierarchy of city functions is set forth. An algorithm for evaluating variants of residential area planning projects based on the index of urban function provision has been developed. For each of the functions of the city, the necessary and sufficient composition of indicators for evaluating design decisions is identified. The article discusses the prospect of quantifying the social well-being of the population of residential areas of a biosphere-compatible city as an alternative condition for the formation of a comfortable urban environment. Conclusion. The numerical evaluation of the design solution and a comparative analysis of the level of favorability of a residential neighborhood using the principles of the biosphere compatibility paradigm show what changes are required in the composition of urban planning solutions not only to achieve the quality of the material environment of life, but also for human development in all respects.

Reconnecting Children with Nature: Biophilic Junior Level Learning Environment Design

<p>More than half of all humanity now live in urban centres. In westerns counties generally at least 80% of people’s time is spent indoors. This means that people are spending less time outside and in places that can be considered ‘nature’. This is problematic because quantitative and qualitative research shows that isolation from the natural world negatively affects human well-being, suggesting that it is essential that nature is a constant part of humans’ lives. This ‘nature deficit’ also impacts the development of personal bonds with nature which relates to learning to value and protect nature, and particularly affects young children. As children grow up in environments increasingly removed from nature, how will children form personal bonds with the living world if they spend their key developmental years removed from it? To address this issue, this design-led research asks: how can we reconnect children with nature using biophilic design in junior level learning environments? This question was explored through design-led research methodologies, primarily using an iterative design process, a ‘triangulation’ approach to research, and two sets of user-based interrogative research. This included a workshop with children aged 5-7 and a New Zealand primary school teachers’ survey. These were conducted to gain insight into user opinions and preferences. Observations, discussions and results were combined and compared with related literature and initial design testing, and then refined into a set of key design elements (see chapter 8.0). These elements were found to be critical in creating well-functioning learning environments that offer biophilic potentials to improve learning, and directly appeal to the users. These elements were tested, developed, and refined through the design of a block of junior level classrooms, in Wellington, New Zealand. Design explorations resulted in a proposed spatial solution that encourages children to interact with and experience nature on a regular basis, with the intention of stimulating the development of a personal bond with and value for the natural world.</p>
