Abstract Industrial tourism and technical facilities are a fast-growing branch of tourism that contains areas of great growth potential. The article deals with one of them. The tourist potential of water and sewage infrastructure in selected Polish cities was analysed and assessed. The study covered 11 cities of diverse socioeconomic potentials around the country. For each city, data were collected that had various levels of detail with regard to visitor numbers, tourist types, facilities made available, events and other special celebrations. For supplementary data, unstructured interviews were also conducted with relevant employees identified in businesses. The analysis showed the studied form of tourism to have very high tourism potential. The work focuses on factors and features accounting for its currently low level of development. It is also emphasised that, based on current tourism trends, it should be expected to continue to grow rapidly in the coming years, and thus warrants further research.

Medical science not only affects our lives in terms of health and disease but also transforms our more vital experiences. Nowadays, this statement has acquired special significance, given the adoption of information and communication technologies (ICT) by medical practice, the so-called eHealth. The great growth in the use of smartphone applications for managing mental distress has been coined as ‘pocket psychiatry’. Within this digital scape, many disease-specific apps such as ClinTouch, aimed at the self-management of psychosis, have been launched in the market. By using the analytical concept of ‘script’, the article aims to show how the psychiatric world-view embedded in ClinTouch defines a particular framework of action for ‘schizophrenic’ users to contest ‘external-identifications’. It is suggested that if the main endeavour is to promote mental health in the community, it is needed to go beyond the biomedical model to maximize the social participation of people with mental suffering in the use of ICT.

<p>Rabbit production has great growth potential in a country where animal production is very important. However, there is little data about this industry in Southern and Southeast Brazil. The aim of this study was to describe Brazilian rabbit farms that provide meat, pets and animals for learning or research. Three pet farms, four meat farms and five research rabbit farms were visited, and the production and farm characteristics data were collected between June 2018 and March 2019. A total of 1170 rabbits and 617 cages were evaluated. Most farms had 21 to 60 (58.3%) does. Considering all farms, the farmers reported an average rate of conception of 71.8%, prolificacy rate of 6.7 kits per parturition, average interval between parturitions of 65 d and 6.3 parturitions/doe yr. The mean mortality rate for breeding rabbits was 10.4%, compared to 1.7% for growing rabbits (rabbits post-weaning until slaughter or sale). The average area of a cage was 0.43±0.1 m², with an average stocking density for growing rabbits of 3 rabbits/m². The most common cage system used by farmers was a flat-deck (66.7% of farms) system with a wire cage (91.7%). Metal (41.7%) and clay (33.3%) feeders were the most common types of feeders, and automatic nipple drinkers were present in 75% of the farms. Dirt accumulation was observed in 11.2% of the cages and 5.7% of the drinkers, but not in feeders. A total of 4.1% of the cages were considered unsafe, and 0.8% had problems with the drinkers. The farms studied ranged from small to medium in size, used an extensive reproductive rhythm and followed basic production techniques. Animal health and management aspects need to be reviewed by the farmer if the rabbit production conditions are to improve.</p>

Industry 4.0 significantly improves productivity by collecting and analyzing data in real time. This, combined with remote access functions, and cloud processing that allows Internet of Things IoT, provides information that optimizes processes and decision support. Also involves a great growth of new networks and systems with special features, which mean that they are vulnerable to different attacks. So new security requirements are emerging in the IoT network. To improve the security of an IoT system for a transparent way, it is proposed the development of a prototype intrusion detection system IDS, which detects anomalies in IoT environments using the MQTT protocol (Message Queuing Telemetry Transport), widely used in IoT systems. For this purpose, it is generated a dataset of an IoT system in which perform different attacks on the MQTT protocol. This dataset is used to train a machine learning model, which is implemented in the IDS that captures the network frames in real time from the system to classify and detect the different attacks. Keywords: IoT, industry 4.0, cybersecurity, IDS, MQTT protocol, Machine Learning.

This paper is an attempt to forecast the potential application of Digital Twin in an industrial environment by adopting scenario analysis as part of technology monitoring. In recent years Digital Twin has become one of the most emerging topics in both the tech industry and academia. This field is the latest addition to industry 4.0. It has paved a great growth opportunity in the fields of Healthcare, manufacturing, and smart city areas. The Digital twin can be defined as mirroring the physical entities into a virtual environment where the status, health, and control of these entities can be monitored and controlled. It is a field where Artificial intelligence and the Internet of Things play a major role in the handshake between the two environments. In this paper we have done a thorough analysis to find out the possible future outcome of this technology in the manufacturing industry from the perspective of our fictious company. These scenarios expose various challenges and opportunities our organization may face in our future endeavour.

Abstract There has been great growth in women's participation in the US academic doctoral workforce, but underrepresentation remains in all science and engineering fields, especially at high academic ranks. We obtained estimates of the numbers of professorial women and men in fields likely to seek funding from the National Science Foundation and aligned those numbers with each of six research directorates to investigate temporal trends in submission patterns. We found that women are as likely to be funded as men, but the percentage of women submitting proposals was less than expected in every field but engineering. Women are as likely as men to be employed at the most research active institutions, but women are less likely than men to self-report research as their primary work activity in almost all fields but engineering. This work imbalance ultimately limits the diversity of basic science research ideas in science and engineering.

Due to the great growth of data on the web, mining to extract the most informative data as a conceptual brief would be beneficial for certain users. Therefore, there is great enthusiasm concerning the developing automatic text summary approaches. In this chapter, the authors highlight using the swarm intelligence (SI) optimization techniques for the first time in solving the problem of text summary. In addition, a convincing justification of why nature-heuristic algorithms, especially ant colony optimization (ACO), are the best algorithms for solving complicated optimization tasks is introduced. Moreover, it has been perceived that the problem of text summary had not been formalized as a multi-objective optimization (MOO) task before, despite there are many contradictory objectives in needing to be achieved. The SI has not been employed before to support the real-time tasks. Therefore, a novel framework of short text summary has been proposed to fulfill this issue. Ultimately, this chapter will enthuse researchers for further consideration for SI algorithms in solving summary tasks.

A technological model that has had great growth is the linking of people through virtual groups created in digital media, also called social networks. This article presents an analysis of a collaborative social network whose design is based on the organizational structure of a university. By means of implementing a computer system that promotes a service of car sharing, and thus improve the transport conditions of its community, it is possible to find symmetrical and asymmetric relationships that they come of common user association rules in the university. Based on this study, the behavior of the network can be predicted thanks to the observed behavior patterns of users. These predictions are of great help in the planning of future activities where the network is expected to have certain collaborative behavior among its individuals when it comes to performing actions with a common benefit and achieve goals planned in the future.
