Age-dependent aerobic capacity among young and middle-aged males

Ferenc Ihász József Bognár Balázs Fügedi Piroska Boros Peter Szabó Andras Oláh

Publication Name: Gazzetta Medica Italiana Archivio Per Le Scienze Mediche

Publication Date: 2016-03-01

Volume: 175

Issue: 3

Page Range: 68-75

Description:

BACKGROUND: Good aerobic capacity is one of the attributes of good cardiovascular function. Physical activity that is performed in steady state and the lower third zone of submaximal intensity seems appropriate for physiological adaptation in advancing age. There is a need to evaluate the effect of age on physiological variables contributing to aerobic capacity using submaximal intensities. The purpose of this study is to analyze the differences m oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse, and minute ventilation during exercise at steady state, ventilatory threshold, and maximal intensity zones among men of different ages. METHODS: Three hundred and twelve senior managers m three age groups (20-30, 30-40, and 40-50) completed an exercise protocol in six stages. RESULTS: Hie result demonstrated a series of differences among the age groups: height, weight, oxygen uptake, oxygen pulse and relative minute ventilation. Accordmg to these results the morphological physiological variables decline with age. CONCLUSIONS: These findings demonstrate the specificities of the morphological, ventilatory, metabolic, and cardiovascular changes throughout aging. When designing a physical activity program, it seems that similar principles can be followed in different age groups; however, maximal intensity maintenance is limited by physiological barriers m older adults.

Methodology development for through-plane thermal conductivity prediction of composites

A. Suplicz J. G. Kovacs H. Hargitai

Publication Name: International Journal of Thermal Sciences

Publication Date: 2016-02-01

Volume: 100

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 54-59

Description:

The prediction and tailoring of thermal conductivity of two-phase composites is essential. In this work a new semi-empirical model was developed, which was derived from the rule of mixtures. Furthermore, a new methodology was developed to determine the thermal conductivity of the fillers and the maximum achievable filler content. To validate the new model, polypropylene-based composites were prepared with different fillers, such as talc, boron-nitride and graphite, with 20, 40 and 60 vol% filler content. The results obtained from the proposed model are in good agreement with the experimental data. Various other theoretical models were also introduced and compared to the experiments, but in most cases those underestimate or overestimate the thermal conductivity of composites.

Influencing household location decision making: Potential in transportation management?

Bertalan Gaal

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 171-174

Description:

Housing location decision is basic information for transportation modeling. As the basis of trip generation its modelling is quite well-studied. These models are based on economic theories and assume the knowledge of a broad range of decisive information. At the same time people tend to make decision knowing far less information using heuristics. Utilizing this decision making process the question arises: providing more detailed, easily accessible information do people make more rational decision? And further considering: providing these information could we influence decision making to match with the objectives of regional development and transportation management?

Description:

Our research project has been triggered by recent research findings in the field of cognitive info-communications. Our interest has been intrigued specifically by views and definitions of cognitive infocommunications (CogInfoCom) as formulated, e.g. in (Baranyi and Csapo, 2014 and Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015). We have conducted empirical research to find out how the cognitive processes of the human mind co-evolve with infocommunications devices and interact with other cognitive systems. Our research suggests that smart systems (human and non-human cognizing entities alike) will be enabled in digital space to cooperate in efficient ways never experienced before, thus showing novel ways of information management. The central assumption of the paper draws on the claim about the irrevocable appearance of a new perception and conceptualization of information management and digital cognition. On the basis of an analysis of a representative sample of questionnaires of more than 1.700 respondents belonging to different generations of the staff of AUDI AG Germany and Audi Hungaria we put forward the characterization of a new phenomenon termed the Connected Cognitive Entity Generation (CCE Generation). The paper explains in what ways the concept of "generation CE" introduced in (Baranyi, Csapo and Sallai, eds, 2015) has been extended here. It is claimed that the perception of information management and the resulting behavior is not only faster involving greater complexities, but it also facilitates coping with virtualization in general, leading to efficiently shaping cultures taking into consideration augmented reality. The paper delineates the individual perspective on cognition and the socially embedded (connected) perspective of the cognitive personalities ("reasoning entities") on social cognition within a corporate environment. The paper makes an attempt to elaborate on the innovative drive which resides in interactive informational frameworks which consist of a multitude of connections of a cognitive personality to other cognitive entities, human and non-human alike. It is shown that management ought to be seen as the meta-level of organizational interactive behavior. The main objective of the paper is to show the possible impacts of digital culture on the nature of management and leadership in corporate settings. A particular focus of the paper is to throw light on the various aspects of identification for cognitive personalities in the context of corporate management.

Application of cognitive infocommunications in public transport journey planning: Relationship of passenger decisions and online passenger information systems

Agoston Winkler Balázs Horváth

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 95-98

Description:

Cognitive sciences play an important role in public transport journey planning. Passengers have to determine the possible ways to get from one place to another at a specified time and then choose the best one. Their decisions depend on many factors e.g. journey time, walking distances, transfers, waiting times, price of the journey as well as the preferences of the passengers. This paper presents an innovative journey planning system which is able to handle as well as collect data about preferences of different passenger layers. The experiences show that passenger preferences at the beginning of the journey differ from the ones at the middle of the journey which implies that infocommunication applications used for passenger information and journey planning should consider these differences.

Intelligent appraisal for sustainable urban mobility planning

Mattias Juhász

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 27-32

Description:

Rapid development of information and communications technology changed our world for the better in the last couple of years. It has also opened the door ahead of new possibilities in order to organize large social systems like urban transportation more efficiently. However, exploitation of these opportunities in this smarter world is still at a low level. A major reason for this could be that smarter planning of urban transport requires smarter appraisal tools to aid policy making. The objective of this paper is to give an overview on the limitations of current transport appraisal practices and on the way ahead in providing a more intelligent decision-making framework for Sustainable Urban Mobility Planning.

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 569-574

Description:

As demonstrated by the misidentification of Brandon Mayfield in the Madrid Train Bombing case, and a growing body of scientific research, it is clear that forensic examiners are prime candidates for cognitive biases. In this article, we overview latent fingerprint identification and methodology including the utilization of Automated Fingerprint Identification Systems. Then we consider recent empirical work on cognitive biases that can taint fingerprint examiners' conclusions. Finally we provide methods that would minimize such impacts in latent fingerprint identification.

Description:

This paper aims to explore and identify the trends and main streams of digitalization and cognitive info-communications in the field of communication management in Europe. The analysis based upon the database of European Communication Monitor (ECM)1 2007-2015 which is the largest study on strategic communication worldwide. The paper focuses on the development of communication channels, online communication and social media, furthermore tends to give an overall picture about the rapidly growing role of social media as a tool among European communication practitioners. This electronic document is a "live" template and already defines the components of your paper [title, text, heads, etc.] in its style sheet. In the frame of our paper we give an overview about the trends and long term features - such as digitalization, info-communication, and social media - on communication management. What we can follow as clear trends during the 2007-2015 periods are as bellow: • development of communication channels/instruments; • coping with the digital evolution and the social web become the most important (strategic) issues for • communication management; • overall trend the interactive communication and online communities, and • emerging interactive channels: social media, networks and online videos. There are phenomena which appear in a particular year and become a constant element of the tools by today, and there are new elements in every year. The importance of printed media is radically reduced, and replaced by online media. With their help will be the stakeholders, the media and the pubic available. Next to the online communication and online media, the forging ahead of social media (social networks, blogs, etc.) is the most important source of changes. The importance of to be present in social media is gradually becoming more and more obvious to companies. Social media means a real dialogue, and it requires substantial resources. As the World Wide Web becomes more and more influential, the global media become the most important tools of the global communication management on reaching the public.

Cognitive infocommunications in transport related decision making

Balázs Horváth

Publication Name: 6th IEEE Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications Coginfocom 2015 Proceedings

Publication Date: 2016-01-25

Volume: Unknown

Issue: Unknown

Page Range: 303-306

Description:

Cognitive sciences are widespread all across the sciences although transportation sciences did not discover it fully. The paper will give an overview on the possible usage and future of cognitive infocommunication in transportation. The scale is very wide due to the fact that transport is a collector or multidisciplinary science. It needs some technical knowledge some operational research some economy, issues from social sciences, statistical methods and the queue is long enough. In this paper I can highlight only few of the several aspects. It is more a paper to let start thinking on the more consciously usage of cognitive sciences in transport sciences.
