    The Internet has played an essential role in human life with its convenience, and it has been attached to people’s lives for several decades. Many people daily use the Internet on their own electronic devices for various purposes. In fact, through human habits and behavior that use electronic devices to access the Internet daily, user experience design has been created to enhance the Interaction of humans with the application and websites in their own devices. The thesis idea was based on Bumi Asian Kitchen & Café, an Asian restaurant in Helsinki. Bumi is also no exception with the traditional business, which has served its regular food menu on the street corner since 2016. By combining technology and human behaviors, the thesis aims to research customer behavior and expectations and develop a website design for a restaurant to bring a convenient user experience and exemplary user interface to its customers. That website design helps the business attract customers, raise the reputation, and enhance customer connection in the smooth method. In the thesis, the essential design knowledge will clarify the basis of user experience and user interface. The author then keeps researching the website’s basic knowledge to describe the importance of website design and website usability. The author uses the qualitative method and ex-plains the UX design methodology with persona, customer journey, heuristic evaluation, user inter-view, and usability testing before choosing a suitable methodology for the practical process of web-site development for Bumi Asian Kitchen & Cafe. After evaluation based on data collection, author can point out the advantages of website development that bring to a restaurant business

    PAS leert ons dat we strijdige belangen niet kunnen ‘wegpolderen’

    Tien jaar geleden besloot de Tweede Kamer dat de stikstofuitstoot mocht stijgen als gelijktijdig natuurmaatregelen werden getroffen die later tot minder uitstoot zouden leiden. Diederik Samsom en Ger Koopmans hadden hiertoe een amendement ingediend. Met deze theoretische beleidswerkelijkheid namen ze onbedoeld een hypotheek op de toekomst, betoogt hoogleraar Gebiedsontwikkeling Co Verdaas. Als onderliggende belangen en waarden worden ‘weggepolderd’, betekent dit nog niet dat de strijd gestreden is. De keuzes waar ‘we’ voor staan, moeten alsnog gemaakt worden.Practice Chair Urban Area Developmen

    The emerging legal framework for private sector development in Viet Nam's transitional economy

    No full text
    A major objective of Viet Nam's transition to a market economy has been to reactivate the private sector in a mixed economy. Several new laws have been introduced in the past five years to implement this policy and to create an enabling environment for the private sector. The author reviews some of the more important laws and regulations that affect Viet Nam's private sector activities, including laws on real property, intellectual property, companies, domestic investment, foreign investment, bankruptcy, contracts, and dispute resolution. Anti-monopoly law has not yet been introduced in Viet Nam. The issue of competition is addressed in the context of trade law, the relative roles of the state and private sector, and restrictions in company law. These areas all establish the foundation of a legal framework for a market economy. The author concludes that Viet Nam's legal framework, like China's, is still influenced by ideology, which causes problems in such areas as private ownership of real property and with such fundamental legal concepts as"due process of law."It is noted that the private sector is constrained by the lack of an independent judiciary, the absence of private land ownership, other uncertainties in property law that limit the develpoment of financial markets, and the inherent bias of the system in favor of the state sector (and collective ownership). Also noted is a law-abiding attitude, equally important to development has been slow to develop. The author goes on to point out that the foreign investment process is too complicated, and its company law too restrictive. A first priority should be to strreamline regulations, as well as liberalize trade policy and increase efforts in privatization of state enterprises. In this respect the author notes that export processing zones may be a useful interim instrument to attract foreign investment but should be phased out over time. More important in the long term is a good investment climate resting on a strong legal foundation.Legal Products,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Municipal Financial Management,Environmental Economics&Policies,Banks&Banking Reform,Municipal Housing and Land,Legal Products,Municipal Financial Management

    Smart phones are owned by nearly half of the world population, with which the access to social media on daily basis follows. With the rapid growth of technology, the popularity of social media skyrocketed as well, with almost everyone owning a smart phones using it. Due to the rise of this communication platform, the concern of how social media affects the connectedness between people arises. For this matter, the author sought to understand how social media affects its users’ connection. A sample size of 70 participants completed a quantitative survey regarding social media use, users’ well-being of emotion and connection including a mixing of multiple-choice and Likert-scale questions. The survey was distributed to the students of Oulu University of Applied Sciences via email and gathered the responses for two week. The result revealed the participants had aware of how to use social media beneficially for their connection and although the increase in time of using social media comes with the decrease in quality of time spending with friends and families, social media is still believed to support users’ connection

    Micro-organismen zijn in staat om organische verbindingen om te zetten in minder schadelijke stoffen en spelen daarom een belangrijke rol bij het opruimen van milieuvervuiling. Voor beleidsmakers, landgebruikers en landeigenaren is het belangrijk dat er bij milieuverontreiniging goed toezicht wordt gehouden op de biologische afbraakprocessen en dat deze goed worden beheerst. Aangezien microbiële activiteit in het milieu wordt beïnvloed door diverse fysische, geochemische en biologische factoren, is nauwkeurige kennis van het afbraakproces hierbij noodzakelijk. In dit promotieonderzoek wordt de relatie tussen geochemische condities en de biologische afbraakcapaciteit van micro-organismen in het milieu beschreven, inclusief methoden om de activiteit en metabole functies van deze micro-organismen in het milieu te mete

    Rules of origin in services : a case study of five ASEAN countries

    No full text
    An important question in the design of bilateral and regional free trade agreements (FTAs) covering services is to what extent nonmembers benefit from the trade preferences that are negotiated among members. This question is resolved through services rules of origin. The restrictiveness of rules of origin determines the degree of preferences entailed in market opening commitments, shaping the bargaining incentives of FTAs and their eventual economic effects. Even though the number of FTAs in services has increased rapidly in recent years, hardly any research is available that can guide policymakers on the economic implications of different rules of origin. After outlining the key economic tradeoffs and options for rules of origin in services, the paper summarizes the main findings of a research project that has assessed the rules of origin question for five countries in the ASEAN region. For selected service subsectors and a number of criteria for rules or origin, simulation exercises evaluated which service providers would or would not be eligible for preferences negotiated under a FTA. Among other findings, the simulation results point to the binding nature of a domestic ownership or control requirement and, for the specific case of financial services, a requirement of incorporation.Free Trade,Trade Law,Trade and Services,Economic Theory&Research,Trade Policy

    COVER: Een programma dat dekkingspatronen van radioplaatsbepalingssystemen tekent

    Er is door mij een software pakket ontwikkeld, dat dekkingspatronen van radioplaatsbepalingssystemen tekent. Deze patronen zijn in feite lijnen waarop met gelijke standaardafwijking de positie bepaald kan worden. Een logische eis hierbij is, dat de zenders ontvangen moeten kunnen worden. De dekkingspatronen zijn dan ook een combinatie van lijnen van gelijke precisie en lijnen, die de maximale reikwijdte van de zenders markeren.Civil Engineering and Geoscience
