The street space planning and design of artificial intelligence-assisted deep learning neural network in the Internet of Things

This study begins by discussing Internet of Things (IoT) technology and analyzing the classification of street space into four types, along with the Green Looking Ratio (GLR). Following this, the Fully Convolutional Network (FCN)-8s framework is employed to construct a street view image semantic segmentation model based on FCN principles. Subsequently, IoT technology is utilized to analyze the proportion of GLR and satisfaction in the street space within the historical urban area of T City. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation (significance level p < 0.05, R2 = 0.919) between the GLR satisfaction score of street view images and the average GLR of the area. Among the four types of street space—life leisure, historical streets, traffic areas, and landscape-style streets—the dissatisfaction rates with GLR are 35 %, 33 %, 20 %, and 18 %, respectively, correlating with varying GLR satisfaction levels. To enhance street space greening, planting ponds and boxes are proposed for "blind spots” and "dead corners,” thereby completing greenery in these areas. These initiatives aim to improve street greening policies, integrate street function zones, and advance the scientific greening of urban streets. The analysis of GLR and satisfaction in street spaces provides valuable insights for refining urban street space greening efforts.

The role of cross-cultural adaptation in the relationship between leisure constraints, motivation, and travel intention: a case study of Vietnamese migrant workers

ABSTRACT In recent years, the global phenomenon of international labor migration has become a pressing issue. This migration not only contributes significantly to host nations’ economies but also raises complex social and cultural questions, particularly when it comes to the leisure lives and constraints faced by migrant workers. Surprisingly, the experiences of migrant workers from Southeast Asian countries, such as Vietnam, remain understudied and undertheorized in the existing literature. This research aims to fill this gap by exploring the impact of cross-cultural adaptation on the intricate relationship between leisure constraints, travel motivation, and travel intention among Vietnamese migrant workers in Taiwan. A sample of 322 Vietnamese migrant workers in Taiwan was used to test the research framework. The relationships between leisure constraints, travel motivation, cross-cultural adaptation, and travel intention were investigated. Furthermore, the mediating role of cross-cultural adaptation is also identified in this study. By examining migrant workers through cross-cultural adaptation theory, these findings contribute to the body of knowledge in this field. Furthermore, the contribution to practical implications is to increase migrant workers’ travel intention, improve their general well-being, and facilitate their integration into their host countries.

대학생의 사용 어휘에 관한 연구

The purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of vocabulary used by college students by analyzing their writing using quantitative methods. The subject of analysis is 194 essays written by 101 college students. As a result of the analysis, there were 10,135 individual vocabularies and 80,732 total vocabularies. The top 100 high-frequency words among college students' vocabulary were largely the same as the results of the three surveys compared. As a result of classifying college student vocabulary according to three meaning groups, ‘first person’ vocabulary was used the most when it came to ‘person’-related vocabulary. ‘Indicative words and connecting words’ were used at 2.7% and 0.6%, respectively, and were considered to have contributed to increasing the cohesion of the writing. Vocabulary related to ‘leisure life’ was used at a rate of 2.4% of the total vocabulary, and it was confirmed that vocabulary reflecting the growth background of current generation students appeared with high frequency. The research results of this paper will help instructors understand their students. A limitation of this paper is that its analysis results do not apply to all college students. However, this limitation is seen as an inevitable limitation of vocabulary measurement research.

Leisure and Happiness of the Elderly: A Machine Learning Approach

Leisure activities play an important role in improving happiness levels for the elderly. The purpose of this study is to explore leisure-related factors that affect the happiness of the elderly using machine learning algorithms. For this research, the 2019 National Leisure Activity Survey released by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Republic of Korea, was used to analyze the data of 1769 elders over the age of 65 among 10,060 men and women aged 15 years and older in 17 cities and provinces nationwide, and it went through the process of data preprocessing, data segmentation, prediction model construction and evaluation, and model tuning. According to the findings of the study, the main factors predicting the happiness index of the elderly were leisure life satisfaction, leisure time, whether to use public leisure facilities, leisure policy satisfaction, and leisure activity companionship. The overall findings of this study imply that exploring sustainable policy towards the achievement of sustainable happiness for the elderly is important. Based on these results, policy measures to improve the happiness level of the elderly were discussed.

Physical fitness in children with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome: associations between cardiovascular parameters, systemic manifestations, fatigue, and pain

Children with Marfan (MFS) and Loeys-Dietz syndrome (LDS) report limitations in physical activities, sports, school, leisure, and work participation in daily life. This observational, cross-sectional, multicenter study explores associations between physical fitness and cardiovascular parameters, systemic manifestations, fatigue, and pain in children with MFS and LDS. Forty-two participants, aged 6–18 years (mean (SD) 11.5(3.7)), diagnosed with MFS (n = 36) or LDS (n = 6), were enrolled. Physical fitness was evaluated using the Fitkids Treadmill Test’s time to exhaustion (TTE) outcome measure. Cardiovascular parameters (e.g., echocardiographic parameters, aortic surgery, cardiovascular medication) and systemic manifestations (systemic score of the revised Ghent criteria) were collected. Pain was obtained by visual analog scale. Fatigue was evaluated by PROMIS® Fatigue-10a-Pediatric-v2.0-short-form and PROMIS® Fatigue-10a-Parent-Proxy-v2.0-short-form. Multivariate linear regression analyses explored associations between physical fitness (dependent variable) and independent variables that emerged from the univariate linear regression analyses (criterion p < .05). The total group (MFS and LDS) and the MFS subgroup scored below norms on physical fitness TTE Z-score (mean (SD) −3.1 (2.9); −3.0 (3.0), respectively). Univariate analyses showed associations between TTE Z-score aortic surgery, fatigue, and pain (criterion p < .05). Multivariate analyses showed an association between physical fitness and pediatric self-reported fatigue that explained 48%; 49%, respectively, of TTE Z-score variance (F (1,18) = 18.6, p ≤ .001, r2 = .48; F (1,15) = 16,3, p = .01, r2 = .49, respectively). Conclusions: Physical fitness is low in children with MFS or LDS and associated with self-reported fatigue. Our findings emphasize the potential of standardized and tailored exercise programs to improve physical fitness and reduce fatigue, ultimately enhancing the physical activity and sports, school, leisure, and work participation of children with MFS and LDS.What is Known:• Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome are heritable connective tissue disorders and share cardiovascular and systemic manifestations.• Children with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome report increased levels of disability, fatigue and pain, as well as reduced levels of physical activity, overall health and health-related quality of life.What is New:• Physical fitness is low in children with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome and associated with self-reported fatigue.• Our findings emphasize the potential of standardized and tailored exercise programs to improve physical fitness and reduce fatigue, ultimately enhancing the physical activity and sports, school, leisure, and work participation of children with Marfan and Loeys-Dietz syndrome.

Leisure, community, workforce participation and quality of life in primary and secondary caregivers of autistic children.

Parents of Autistic children often modify their participation in leisure, social, and employment activities to meet the caregiving needs of their child. However, few studies have examined the impact this has on caregiver quality of life (QoL). The aim in the current study was to examine the role of participation in a range of activities on QoL amongst primary and secondary caregivers of school-aged Autistic children. Eighty-eight primary (93% mothers) and 63 secondary (91% fathers) caregivers of Autistic children (aged 7- to 12-years) participated in this cross-sectional study, with time pressure, participation, social support, parenting stress, and QoL measured via an online questionnaire. Compared to secondary caregivers, primary caregivers reported fewer employment hours, increased time pressure, less participation in desired activities, and higher perceived responsibility of domestic and child-rearing tasks. Similar levels of leisure frequency, parenting stress, and QoL were identified by both caregivers. Hierarchical regression revealed caregiver participation as important for QoL in both primary and secondary caregivers. However, when measures of caregiver well-being were added to the model, the unique contribution of participation to QoL was reduced, particularly for secondary caregivers. Overall, the findings demonstrate that despite differences in caregiver roles and responsibilities, participation in meaningful activities was important for QoL in all caregivers.

Gender, Work, and Leisure in Old Age in China and India.

This paper examines how paid and unpaid work affects leisure differently for older women and men in China and India. We use data from the World Health Organization's Study on Global Aging and Health. We find that urban China, with higher levels of public welfare and gender equality, represents the best scenario for older adults' leisure life in developing countries. Although urban Chinese women are disadvantaged relative to urban Chinese men, they still enjoy longer hours of leisure and relaxing leisure than both men and women in rural China, urban India and rural India. Furthermore, the Blinder-Oaxaca decomposition results show gender disparities in unpaid housework to be the primary driver of gender inequalities in leisure in all societies, albeit to varying degrees. These findings highlight the role of public welfare, gender equality, and the gendered consequences of the family support model in shaping older adults' leisure life.

Successful Retirement for Library Managers

Library managers have acquired the skills to make better choices about deciding when to retire and in selecting options that lead to a successful retirement. The best situation is when the manager can voluntarily make the decision without any life factors that force the issue or efforts by the library to get the manager to retire. The reasons for retiring can include family obligations, time for other activities, and health concerns including work stress. Greater financial resources in retirement increase the manager’s options, but waiting a year or two before making major decisions, such as moving makes sense. Some retirees will start a new life of leisure. Others may wish to volunteer or find paid employment including consulting, part-time work, or opening a business. Some will wish to continue their professional involvement, but others will reduce their service activities to make these opportunities available to the next generation. Managerial skills, such as planning, project management, and budgeting should lead to a more successful retirement.

The Construction of Place Meaning of Historic Parks – A Case Study of People’s Park in Guangzhou, China

Historical parks carry the memories and emotions of local people, and have a historical status and research value that cannot be ignored. This paper introduces the concept of place significance, and based on systematically sorting out related literature, selects Guangzhou People’s Park as the case study, and empirically explores the construction of place significance of it by using the Q method. It is found that the value perception of the place meaning of the People’s Park includes five dimensions: historical display, cultural identity, landscape recreation, physical and mental health, and leisure experience. The study on the perceived value of users of historical parks can provide a reference and some suggestions for historical parks to highlight the city’s image and historical culture as well as to meet the needs of urban leisure life in the context of urban construction.

Професійно-прикладна фізична підготовка у формуванні фахових компетентностей майбутніх учителів навчального предмета «Захист України»

For the third year a full-scale war has been going on in our country. Ukraine is trying in every possible way to resist the imperial ambitions of its northern neighbor. In such conditions the formation of patriotic morals in general secondary education institutions relies on the professional competence of teachers of the «Defense of Ukraine» subject, who must teach the future generation to live in military conditions. During the slave era, in the countries of the Mediterranean region, the problem of the formation of patriotic views in educational institutions of that time was under the control of lawmaking bodies. At one time, the famous ancient politician and philosopher Cicero wrote in his treatise «About the State”: «…the motherland gave birth, or rather, raised us in order to expect some kind of support from us, and not to serve our conveniences and create a safe haven for us in of leisure life and a peaceful place to relax». Therefore, in this publication, based on the data of the relevant scientific and methodological literature, we singled out the methodological principle of harmonious, intellectual and physical development of the future teacher as the main factor in the formation of professional and applied physical training and didactic culture of future employees of general secondary education institutions. The scientific article presents the results of checking the practical block of professional physical training activities for students of the specialty section 014 «Secondary Education (Physical Culture. Defense of Ukraine)» of Sumy State Pedagogical University named after A. S. Makarenko, which confirmed the prognostic tasks of our research. The obtained data made it possible to once again prove the effectiveness of the innovative method using the «Bulgarian bag» in physical training of students of higher education institutions.

Philosophy at Leisure: How Is Festivity Possible?

The article explores the conditions enabling the celebration within the context of philosophical, enlightening, and educational activities. The authors contemplate the role of leisure in human life, referencing Plato’s view of leisure as a prerequisite for philosophical discussion, Aristotle’s concept of intellectual leisure for the free citizen, Josef Pieper’s understanding of leisure as a means for personal and spiritual development, and Sebastian de Grazia’s perspective on the interconnection between leisure and creativity, culture, individual freedom, and society. It is argued that leisure as an intellectual activity has not become customary in society since Aristotle’s time and, in the modern world, the definition of this concept is confined merely to the realm of entertainment. This limitation necessitates the search for new forms of intellectual leisure that are relevant in the context of contemporary mass culture. The authors analyze the philosophical ball as a form of intellectual leisure, particularly focusing on the years of experience in organizing annual festive events by the family philosophical club “School of Socrates” at the Central House of Artists in Moscow. The external, attributive form of the philosophical ball is linked with Mikhail Bakhtin’s concept of the carnivalization of culture: its spectacles, theatricality, the presence of masks and costumes, and the involvement of all participants in a unified action. The internal content of the philosophical ball is determined by philosophical concepts, historical figures, or artistic images relevant to the specific era and culture, facilitating the perception and discussion of the proposed philosophical ideas. The narrative is further enriched by a case study detailing the methodological orchestration of a philosophical ball themed around Russian Symbolism. The authors conclude that the philosophical ball, as a form of intellectual leisure, addresses epistemological tasks and serves enlightening and educational functions: it engenders an authentic milieu of philosophical festivity, nurturing the creative impetus of its participants and facilitating a profound and universally accessible experiential odyssey into the realms of worldview and cognition.

The Influence of Age and Income on Financial Planning: A Case Study on its Impact on Retirement Planning Decision

Retirement refers to a stage in life when an individual stops working and transitions into a life of leisure and relaxationwhere involvement in activities decreases and becomes more limited. Even after a person reaches retirement age, a good retirement life needs continued job and a source of regular income. Retirement planning includes financial planning and preparation to ensure a comfortable standard of living after the cessation of employment. Inadequate retirement planning will typically result in some dissatisfaction during retirement. Therefore, it is crucial to have a good retirement plan. The reasonto conduct this study is to examine the significance of demographic variables and its impact while preparing for retirementin India amongst young employees. The objectivehere is determining the importanceofvariables including age and incomewith regard to financial planning for retirement. The study is conducted in Indian context. Age and income are the demographic factors on which the study is conducted. The conclusions of this research will aidpeople of India in creating a sound retirement plan for their future.

A Deep Learning-Based Multidimensional Aesthetic Quality Assessment Method for Mobile Game Images

Mobile games have played an increasingly significant role in people's leisure lives in recent years, thanks to the fast expansion of the gaming industry and the widespread use of mobile devices. The aesthetic quality of game pictures is a very important factor that attracts users' interest. However, evaluating the aesthetic quality of mobile game pictures is difficult since the painting styles of games vary greatly and the evaluation criteria are also diversified. In this paper, we propose a multi-task deep learning based method, which is able to predict the aesthetic quality of mobile game images in multiple dimensions (MGQA). The proposed model consists of two modules, a feature extraction module and a quality regression module. We extract quality-aware features from intermediate layers of the deep convolution neural network (CNN) and then incorporate them into the final feature representation in the feature extraction module, allowing the model to fully use visual information from low to high levels. The quality regression module uses fully connected (FC) layers to map quality-aware features into quality scores across multiple dimensions. The multi-dimensional aesthetic quality scores are trained using a multi-task learning approach, in which quality-aware features are shared across multiple dimensional quality prediction tasks. Finally, several key factors which help the proposed model perform better are analyzed. The experimental results indicate that our proposed method not only achieves the greatest performance on mobile game images, but also is applicable to natural scene images.

Research Progress on the Species and Diversity of Ants and Their Three Tropisms.

Ants are one of the largest insect groups, with the most species and individuals in the world, and they have an important ecological function. Ants are not only an important part of the food chains but are also one of the main decomposers on the Earth; they can also improve soil fertility, etc. However, some species of ants are harmful to human beings, which leads to people's panic or worry about coming into contact with these insects during their daily home life or in their tourism or leisure activities. The presence of ants in indoor living facilities and in outdoor green spaces, parks, gardens, and tourist attractions seriously interferes with the leisure life and entertainment activities of all people (especially children). How can we control ants in these environments? Do we kill them by spraying insecticides, or do we adopt green prevention and control technology for the ecological management of ants? This topic is related to healthy life for the public and the protection of the ecological environment. In this paper, the species and diversity of ants are introduced, and research progress regarding ant tropism is introduced according to the three aspects of phototaxis, chromotaxis, and chemotaxis (i.e., "3-tropisms"). The research on repellent substances from plants and insects and the related ant attractants are also summarized, analyzed, and discussed, in order to help the research and application of green prevention and control technology for ant diversity protection and conservation.

The paradoxes and pragmatics of digital leisure in later life

ABSTRACT In previous studies, older adults (65+) are commonly regarded as a heterogeneous group of technology users who do not utilise digital technologies as frequently or comprehensively as younger age cohorts. There has, however, been less emphasis on how and why digital technologies are used by older adults, especially in terms of their critical attitudes towards digital leisure, which serves as a source of digital, and thereby social, inclusion in later life. In this study we ask (1) what kind of conflicting attitudes and activities, or paradoxes, are there associated with digital leisure in later life and (2) where these paradoxes stem from in the everyday lives of older adults. The qualitative analysis is based on 20 participant-induced elicitation interviews conducted among older Finnish adults in 2018. Drawing from the concept of digital repertoires and our thematic analysis, we conclude that there are discrepancies in how the interviewees viewed their personal involvement with digital leisure and how they engaged with it on daily basis. Our analysis suggests that these discrepancies associated with the use of digital technologies for leisure derive from a strong pragmatic emphasis older adults bestow upon digital leisure, highlighting an instrumental perspective on digital technologies.

Technology, innovation and leisure: Leisure engagement in new and unexpected ways

The interweaving of technology and leisure has become an integral part of leisure choice, access, engagement, management, and product development. This interweaving has resulted in new and innovative ways people can access leisure, created leisure opportunities for marginalized groups, and improved efficiencies and effectiveness in management. However, challenges have also resulted, such as the blurring of work/leisure time, raising quality of life issues. The intent of this special issue is to bring attention to ways in which technology and leisure influence each other. The articles in this issue explore various types of technology used to experience leisure, leisure constraints to technology, and aspects of identity related to technology, and leisure. This special issue can extend the body of knowledge of leisure and technology thus contributing to innovations in leisure and better quality of life.

Exploring Leisure and Quality of Life in Parents of Children with Intellectual Disability: An Analytical Review

Purpose: This analysis based on review aims to explore the correlation between leisure pursuits and the quality of life experienced by parents raising children with intellectual disabilities. The review aimed to synthesize existing literature to explore how engagement in leisure pursuits affects various aspects of parental well-being, including physical health, mental health, social connections, and overall quality of life. The methodological approach involved a systematic review of published studies, qualitative research papers, and theoretical perspectives on the topic. Design/Methodology/Approach:The study design employed a comprehensive literature search across various databases, including PubMed, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar, using relevant keywords related to leisure, quality of life, parents, and intellectual disability. Inclusion criteria encompassed studies published within the last decade, focusing on the experiences of parents with children diagnosed with intellectual disabilities and examining the impact of leisure activities on their well-being. A total of 40 articles were selected for the review, encompassing diverse study designs and participant demographics. Findings/Result: The results of the analysis, which was based on reviewing various studies, unveiled a noteworthy connection between engagement in leisure activities and the overall quality of life for parents of children with intellectual disabilities. Taking part in leisure pursuits had a favorable impact on the well-being of parents by offering chances to alleviate stress, engage in social interactions, and enhance physical health. Moreover, inclusive leisure activities that encompassed both parents and children with intellectual disabilities played a pivotal role in nurturing a sense of familial unity and enhancing the well-being of the entire family unit. However, the review also identified challenges related to limited access to leisure opportunities, financial constraints, and time constraints, which could adversely impact parental well-being. The examination highlighted the significance of integrating leisure-based interventions and support structures into the care strategies designed for families raising children with intellectual disabilities. Through the promotion of leisure activities that are both accessible and inclusive, professionals in the field, educators, and policymakers have the potential to elevate the quality of life for parents within this demographic. Moreover, the findings highlighted the need for further research to explore specific leisure needs and preferences of parents and children with intellectual disabilities, allowing for the development of tailored strategies to optimize parental well-being and overall family functioning. Originality/Value: By offering a thorough investigation into the correlation between leisure activities and the quality of life for parents of children with intellectual disabilities, this analysis conducted through review contributes a fresh perspective and valuable insights to the existing body of literature. By emphasizing the importance of leisure engagement in promoting parental well-being, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the unique experiences and challenges faced by parents in this specific context, ultimately guiding the development of effective support and intervention strategies.

Understanding the Connection Among Ikigai, Well-Being, and Home Robot Acceptance in Japanese Older Adults: Mixed Methods Study.

Ikigai (meaning or purpose in life) is a concept understood by most older adults in Japan. The term has also garnered international attention, with recent academic attempts to map it to concepts in the Western well-being literature. In addition, efforts to use social and home robots to increase well-being have grown; however, they have mostly focused on hedonic well-being (eg, increasing happiness and decreasing loneliness) rather than eudaimonic well-being (eg, fostering meaning or purpose in life). First, we explored how Japanese older adults experience ikigai and relate these to concepts in the Western well-being literature. Second, we investigated how a home robot meant to promote ikigai is perceived by older adults. We used a mixed methods research design-including 20 interviews with older adults, a survey of 50 older adults, and 10 interviews with family caregivers. For interviews, we asked questions about older adults' sources of ikigai, happiness, and social support, along with their perception of the robot (QT). For surveys, a number of well-being scales were used, including 2 ikigai scales-ikigai-9 and K-1-and 6 Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System scales, measuring meaning and purpose, positive affect, satisfaction with participation in social roles, satisfaction with participation in discretionary social activities, companionship, and emotional support. Questions related to the perception and desired adoption of the robot and older adults' health status were also included. Our results suggest that health is older adults' most common source of ikigai. Additionally, although self-rated health correlated moderately with ikigai and other well-being measures, reported physical limitation did not. As opposed to social roles (work and family), we found that ikigai is more strongly related to satisfaction with discretionary social activities (leisure, hobbies, and friends) for older adults. Moreover, we found that older adults' sources of ikigai included the eudaimonic aspects of vitality, positive relations with others, contribution, accomplishment, purpose, and personal growth, with the first 3 being most common, and the hedonic aspects of positive affect, life satisfaction, and lack of negative affect, with the first 2 being most common. However, the concept of ikigai was most related to eudaimonic well-being, specifically meaning in life, along the dimension of significance. Finally, we found that Japanese older adults have high expectations of a home robot for well-being, mentioning that it should support them in a multitude of ways before they would likely adopt it. However, we report that those with the highest levels of meaning, and satisfaction with their leisure life and friendships, may be most likely to adopt it. We outline several ways to improve the robot to increase its acceptance, such as improving its voice, adding functional features, and designing it to support multiple aspects of well-being.
