The Creation

In his official speech at the defence of Svend Bjerg’s theological dissertation “Den Kristne Grundfortælling” (The Fundamental Christian Story), Peter Kemp agrees to the idea of a narrative theology, but he argues that this theology should not – as Bjerg does – try to escape modern criticism of ideologies, illusions and perversities in story telling, because theological reply to criticism of religion or Christianity has no effect on the modern man if the critique is not taken seriously by the theologian and the stories are not evaluated from an ethical point of view. Kemp also considers that narrative theology is not necessarily opposed to existential philosophy, since philosophical analysis can demonstrate narrative quality of experience as a condition for the creation of stories and dramas. Finally, Kemp discusses Bjerg’s opposition to Paul Ricoeur’s and Kemp’s own concepts of symbol and metaphor. He argues that metaphor without symbol is a language without reference to transcendence.

Quality Video

In legacy television services, user centric metrics have been used for more than twenty years to evaluate video quality. These subjective assessment metrics are usually obtained using a panel of human evaluators in standard defined methods to measure the impairments caused by a diversity of factors of the Human Visual System (HVS), constituting what is also called Quality of Experience (QoE) metrics. As video services move to IP networks, the supporting distribution platforms and the type of receiving terminals is getting more heterogeneous, when compared with classical video distributions. The flexibility introduced by these new architectures is, at the same time, enabling an increment of the transmitted video quality to higher definitions and is supporting the transmission of video to lower capability terminals, like mobile terminals. In IP Networks, while Quality of Service (QoS) metrics have been consistently used for evaluating the quality of a transmission and provide an objective way to measure the reliability of communication networks for various purposes, QoE metrics are emerging as a solution to address the limitations of conventional QoS measuring when evaluating quality from the service and user point of view. In terms of media, compressed video usually constitutes a very interdependent structure degrading in a non-graceful manner when exposed to Binary Erasure Channels (BEC), like the Internet or wireless networks. Accordingly, not only the type of encoder and its major encoding parameters (e.g. transmission rate, image definition or frame rate) contribute to the quality of a received video, but also QoS parameters are usually a cause for different types of decoding artifacts. As a result of this, several worldwide standard entities have been evaluating new metrics for the subjective assessment of video transmission over IP networks. In this chapter we are especially interested in explaining some of the best practices available to monitor, evaluate and assure good levels of QoE in packet oriented networks for rich media applications like high quality video streaming. For such applications, service requirements are relatively loose or difficult to quantify and therefore specific techniques have to be clearly understood and evaluated. By the mid of the chapter the reader should have understood why even networks with excellent QoS parameters might have QoE issues, as QoE is a systemic approach that does not relate solely to QoS but to the ensemble of components composing the communication system.

Positive Motivation

A teacher who knows the type of motivation can create the conditions to reinforce the appropriate positive motivation. If this is a motivation related to the outcome of the training, the conditions for its support, promotion, demonstration of the usefulness of the acquired knowledge for the future can be the creation of a positive public opinion. If this motivation is the motivation related to the purpose of learning, then the conditions for its support can be the information about the results obtained, the emergence and formation of cognitive interests, the problematic methodology. To support the motivation associated with the learning process, there is a need for a lively and entertaining structure of the learning process, student’s activity and independence, research methodology and the creation of conditions for the manifestation of their skills. The article puts forward ideas about the main features of the modern lesson, which contributes to the socialization of the student's personality, and explains in detail the forms of organization of the modern lesson. In addition, the stages of the modern lesson and the organization of students’ activity in these stages were noted. The main focus is on the problem of directing the socialization of the student's personality. It addresses the issues of meeting the needs of students in the organization of pedagogical work in the modern classroom, as well as the creation of a system of interaction in the student body. The need for individual application of programs aimed at promoting the personal position of the student stems from the fact that in this context, a fertile socio-pedagogical basis for the individual integration of knowledge of each student is formed. It should be noted that such an approach to pedagogical work leads to sustainable prospects in education. The purpose of the article is also to link the content elements of education and the individual stages of the lesson structure on a pedagogical-psychological basis from a socio-logical point of view. The article also provides extensive scientific approaches and practical examples of the ways aimed at the improving the quality of education.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to propose a destination-level framework incorporating subjective and overall assessments of residents’ quality of life (QOL) and visitors’ quality of experience (QOE) as a means for managing optimum levels of visitor volume at destinations. Design The proposed framework is empirically tested and applied using a large-scale survey of residents and visitors across a four-year time span in Macao, a Special Administrative Region of China that counts among the smallest and densest city-states in the world and which has borne the full force of extraordinary rapid tourism growth in recent years. Findings The study’s findings suggest that subjective assessments of residents’ QOL and visitors’ QOE interact and must be considered together when assessing sustainable levels of tourism at the level of a destination. Originality The study’s value lies in its use of a large-scale survey across a four-year time span to empirically validate theorized maximal values of QOL assessments from the point of view of residents as well as quality of visiting experience from the point of view of visitors. This finding lays future groundwork for more robust management of tourism growth in destinations.

The emergent interdisciplinary area Service Science Management & Engineering (SSME) considers the study of people, technology, and shared information as prime components in service systems. Frequently, the area regarding people is the one that draws less attention. The author analyzes how the knowledge and application of discoveries on how the human mind perceives and stores concepts and events has important implications regarding service design in the experience economy. Specifically, they analyzed the creation of meaning and the quality of experience assessment. The paradox of service industrialization arises when defining a continuum between maximum industrialization of the service on one end and complete personalization on the other. Under certain circumstances, industrialization, which on the one hand creates value, can also destroy it. The contribution of this work lies in pointing out research lines for Service Science (SSME).

There is a significant difference between what a network application experiences as quality at network level, and what the user perceives as quality at application level. From the network point of view, applications require certain delay, bandwidth and packet loss bounds to be met – ideally zero delay and zero loss. However, users should not be directly concerned with network conditions, and furthermore they are usually neither able to measure nor predict them. Users only expect good application performance, i.e., a fast and reliable file transfer, high quality for voice or video transmission, and so on, depending on the application being used. This is true both in wired as well as wireless networks. In order to understand network application behavior, as well as the interaction between the application and the network, one must perform a delicate task – the one of correlating the Quality of Service (QoS), i.e., the degradation induced at network level (as a measure of what the application experiences), with the Quality of Experience (QoE), i.e., the degradation perceived by the user at application level (as a measure of the user-perceived quality) (Ivanovici, 2006). This is done by simultaneously measuring the QoS degradation and the application QoE on an end-to-end basis. These measures must be then correlated by taking into account their temporal relationship. Assessing the correlation between QoE and QoS makes it possible to predict application performance given a known QoS degradation level, and to determine the QoS bounds that are required in order to attain a desired QoE level.

The article is devoted to the study of factors that inhibit the creation of knowledge and technologies, as well as usage and diffusion in the Russian economy and that pose the threats to the technological development of the country. The study is based on the system economic theory methodology, which involve system analysis methods studying the economy and society as an integrated socio-economic system in its unity and mutual dependence of key subsystems. This approach is aimed to receive evaluation reflecting the real static and dynamic picture of all sectors that contribute to the creation of innovation: production, monetary systems, institutional environment, science, education and society. The risk zones are depicted in the diagram of the strategic planning and governance inherent Russian practice. From a systemic point of view, the conclusions are that the objective system evaluation should be in the basis of the strategy. Inadequate quality of planning, ignoring system linkages and interactions in decision-making, use of incorrect data as well as other defective governance actions pose a significant threat to the development of the Russian Federation. The directions for further research in order to reduce the risks of technological development strategy are proposed in the paper. The proposals concern improvement in both evaluation methods and the metrics of the socio-economic system characteristics, which can give the truth picture of the system, and the concept of strategizing changes in non-stationary economy.The author declare no conflict of interest.

Abstract This paper examines the urban challenges, urban policies, sustainable urbanism, and opportunities of sustainable urbanism. Sustainable urbanism is a new term that prevails in urban planning and planning. This paper tries to put forth the need for sustainable urban development in Indian cities such as Delhi and Rajkot. Urbanization in India has led to an unsustainable situation. It offers the proven benefits of economic growth and development, but it also offers brings with it social and ecological challenges. Various challenges related to sustainability, spatial planning, Governance, shortcomings, and execution were discussed in this paper. Specific research questions are: what is sustainable urbanism, what are the challenges to cities such as Delhi and Rajkot, and what are the opportunities of sustainable urbanism in Delhi and Rajkot? People face many challenges that threaten the well-being of the environment, society, and quality of life. All of these challenges are complex and closely related, so one approach can have positive consequences for others. In the case of Delhi, the population growth is an extremely sensitive issue from a social and ethical point of view, has generally become a threat to the entire planet and especially to the metropolitan area, while in the case of Rajkot, increasing industrial, commercial and commercial activities has become threatening to the environment. In this study, I have also explored solutions and other issues that are important elements to discuss.

Abstract The presented study focuses on the role of applied ethics(cist) in managing the quality of life in the post-risk society. Given that, from an ethical point of view, it is appropriate to reflect the quality of life also through other than quantitative, i.e. objective and therefore also measurable indicator, it is important to be also focused on the action of a person that leads to increasing his/her satisfaction, the feeling of happiness as a subjective indicator. The aim of this study is to point out the importance of ethical parameterization of the quality of life as well as the search for suitable concepts in its fulfilment.

Perceptual Factors

Over the past 20 years, research on quality of experience (QoE) has been actively expanded even to cover aesthetic, emotional and psychological experiences. QoE has been an important research topic in determining the perceptual factors that are essential to users in keeping with the emergence of new display technologies. In this paper, we provide in-depth reviews of recent assessment studies in this field. Compared to previous reviews, our research examines the human factors observed over various recent displays and their associated assessment methods. In this study, we first provide a comprehensive QoE analysis on 2D display including image/video quality assessment (I/VQA), visual preference, and human visual system-related studies. Second, we analyze stereoscopic 3D (S3D) QoE research on the topics of I/VQA and visual discomfort from the human perception point of view on S3D display. Third, we investigate QoE in a head-mounted display-based virtual reality (VR) environment, and deal with VR sickness and 360 I/VQA with their individual approach. All of our reviews are analyzed through comparison of benchmark models. Furthermore, we layout QoE works on future display and modern deep-learning applications.
