Title: Factors Influencing Innovation Capacity of Regional Innovation Hubs Authors: Sanvida Vishani Sawunda Hannadige & Dona Kithmini Chiranthini Weerasinghe Supervisor: Ehsanul Huda Chowdhury Examiner: Maria Fregidou-Malama Date: 28- Jan- 2021   Aim: This study aims to identify the factors influencing innovation capacity of innovation hubs and explore how innovation hubs influence regional innovation process.    Methodology: This is a qualitative study which follows the inductive approach and the strategy of multiple case study. Primary data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten respondents in the network of an innovation hub.   Findings: The findings of this study suggest five main factors which positively influence the innovation capacity of an innovation hub. Those are infrastructure, knowledge sharing, culture, marketing strategies and supporting network of the hub. Further through the findings we identified that innovation hub creates a well-balanced socio-economic impact on the region it operates.   Contribution: This study provides a comprehensive knowledge to the existing theories by discovering five theoretical areas which influence innovation capacity. Also it assists the stakeholders of innovation hubs to overcome their deficiencies in order to build a strong innovation capacity. Further, this study encourages innovators, entrepreneurs and investors to work in collaboration with innovation hubs.   Suggestions for Future Research: Qualitative or quantitative methods can be used to explore the outcomes in different perspectives. The newly identified features under marketing strategies can be further studied for their importance in other domains such as ecosystem and stakeholders. The revised framework can be tested in future researches.

As the world changes because of the globalization, the environment of the aviation changes as well. The airlines are forced to adapt to these changes and choose new strategies to operate successfully. The main objective of this thesis is to, according to the title, describe, identify and explain the processes which significantly affect current image of the world of aviation and focus on four Central European legacy carriers. The issues of globalization and its affect on behavior of economic actors, which airlines are, are discussed as first. The following part is dedicated to the characteristics of aviation and its components, the milieu and the behavior of the airlines as well as the newest strategic trends that are being chosen is described as well. The theoretical part is followed by the empirical one where the particular steps of examined airlines are analyzed and explained. The hypotheses concerning the probable behavior and adopted strategies of four analyzed carriers are expressed according to the discovered theoretical principles of the operations of current legacy (network) carriers. Whether the hypotheses are completely or partially confirmed, is discussed at the end of the empirical chapter. Key words: globalization, air transport, legacy carriers, airline alliances, hub and spoke, codeshare

Denna avhandling beskriver hur en smartphone-baserad larm-applikation som ger säkrare resor för cyklister och löpare kan konstrueras. Genom att övervaka och utvärdera GPS-data från telefonen över tid skickar den föreslagna applikations-prototypen, namngiven till Are You OK App (AYOKA), automatiskt SMS-meddelanden och initierar telefonsamtal till kontakter i en lista konfigurerad av användaren när densamme har råkat ut för ett fall.I detta projekt härleds fall utifrån GPS-inaktivitet (när användarens geografiska koordinater är oförändrade inom ett valt tidsintervall). Detektion av GPS-inaktivitet, i kombination med att användaren inte har svarat, sätter igång larmfunktionen i applikationen. Projektet exemplifierar också hur implementeringen av ett flöde som delar data i ett moln, vilket använder Microsoft Azure som plattform, kan förbättra applikationens datainsamling avsevärt. Genom att använda en IoT Hub, Stream Analytics och en Azure SQL-databas, visar prototypen hur insamlad data kan centraliseras och potentiellt användas i framtida forskning inom övervakning och analys. Den testade prototypen visar ett förbättrat nöd- / säkerhetssystem som kan fungera i många olika sammanhang. Metoden för detektion passar relativt bra med fokus på cyklister och löpare eftersom dessa aktiviteter innebär att utövaren förflyttar sig, vilket i sin tur gör GPS-spårning effektiv. Några nackdelar som diskuteras är den höga grad av interaktion från användaren som behövs för att urskilja ett fall från en vald paus. För att möjliggöra detektering av fall från fysisk aktivitet som sker på en och samma geografiska plats, skulle det vara nödvändigt att i detekteringen använda data från accelerometer och gyroskop. I avhandlingen föreslås att prototypen, inklusive delnings-flödet för molndata, kan tjäna som ett ramverk för framtida system för smarta telefoner där fall-detektering använder sig av strömmad sensordata från enheten. / This thesis describes how a smartphone-based alarm application can be constructed to provide safer trips for cyclists and runners. Through monitoring and evaluating GPS data via the mobile device over time, the proposed application prototype, coined Are You OK App (AYOKA), automatically sends SMS messages and initiates phone calls to contacts in a user-configured list when a fall is detected. In this project, falls are inferred on the basis of GPS-inactivity (in this context defined as when the user’s geolocation has not changed within a selected time interval). Detection of GPS-inactivity, combined with a lack of response from the user, will trigger the alarming features of the application. The project also exemplifies how the implementation of a cloud data sharing flow, which uses Microsoft Azure as a platform, can significantly enhance the data gathering capabilities of the application. By utilizing an IoT Hub, Stream Analytics and an Azure SQL database, the prototype demonstrates how the gathered data can be centralized, and in future research could potentially be utilized for monitoring and analytical purposes. The method of detection performed relatively well with the focus on cyclists and runners since these activities involve changing of geographical coordinates, thereby making GPS-tracking effective. By focusing on detecting GPS-inactivity, it is argued that the prototype could potentially be utilized in other emergency scenarios apart from falls, such as being hit by a car. A disadvantage discussed includes the high degree of reliance on user participation to discern a fall from a voluntary pause. To enable detection of falls from physical activity occurring in one location, it would be necessary to incorporate data from accelerometer and gyroscope sensors into the current fall detection functionality. This thesis suggests that the prototype, including the cloud data sharing flow, can serve as a framework for future smartphone-based fall detection systems that use streamed sensor data.

High-speed corridor is the future of travellibg. Many Eauropian states have begun with building it a few years ago and it works well. The Czech Republic still does not have this form of transport, but due to the location it will be necessary to build high quality railways even here for the future connection across Europe. This thesis deals with the construction of high-speed train stop (the HST) nearby the airport Brno Turany. The service follows the previous semestral work - Brno main railway station. The HST station building is drafted as a bridge over the rail and the platforms, it works not only as a check-in and waiting area but also like a pedestrian crossing over the corridor. The solid responds to the airport nearby and used bridge construction to smartly takes roof up. Public parts are at ground level, technical background and maintenance are located along the platforms below the ground level.

The project of Cultural hub for Jaroslavice village is based on the rich history of this small borderline area. It is aiming on improving the current state of the region by connecting it into the cultural net and coordinating creative project within the area. It focuses on attracting foreing artists and connecting them with local community as well as coworking with art schools. It provides workshops and courses for local people and targets children and young people for developing their relationship to culture and creativity, The most attractive part of the project is the „Laboratory of Light“. It is composed from 8 different light situations for artist to train their skills.
