This paper empirically examines the relationship between one of the major corporate governance attributes; family ownership and the audit committee activity across a sample of 430 publicly traded firms on the Saudi Stock Exchange (Tadawul) for the period 2012-2019. Using the Pooled OLS regression, this study finds that family ownership is negatively associated with audit committee activity. This study reported that family ownership is negatively associated with audit committee activity, giving support to the convergence-of-interest hypothesis. Therefore, the existence of family ownership as a monitoring corporate governance mechanism substitutes the audit committee activity as another monitoring mechanism. This study provides empirical evidence on the associations of two internal corporate governance mechanisms, namely; family ownership and audit committee activity in the Saudi context where there is a paucity of research in this area. The findings of this study provide a new understanding regarding the extent to which family ownership impacts the activity of audit committees in manufacturing companies. Similarly, the companies' management, external auditors, bankers, and companies would also benefit from understanding the influential factors of the audit committee activities.

Objectives: To review policy contents which can have a direct impact on health-enhancing physical activity(PA) prevalence in Korea. Methods: The web-search and a literature was undertaken to identify reports and documents related to policy contents of PA. The web-search mainly focused on the web site of the departments and organizations relevant to PA policy and was supplemented by the literature searching. Results: The results of this study are as follows: First, the goal of PA does not match the established number of the Health Plan(HP). Second, the recommended levels of PA is not the same as levels of the year of establishment of the HP. Third, the questions of monitoring tool were inconsistent across years. Conclusions: Therefore, policy contents of physical activity should be improved to ensure accurate PA prevalence in Korea.

In this paper, we suggest an activity and health monitoring system to observe the status of the dogs in real time. We also propose a k-days algorithm which helps monitoring pet health status using classified activity data from a machine learning approach. One of the best machine learning algorithm is used for the classification activity of dogs. Dog health status is acquired by comparing current activity calculation with passed k-days activities average. It is considered as a good, warning and bad health status for differences between current and k-days summarized moving average (SMA) > 30, SMA between 30 and 50, and SMA < 50, respectively.

The scope of the problems that could be solved by monitoring and the improvement of the recognition time is directly correlated to the performance of the management function of the business process. However, the current monitoring process of business activities decides whether to apply warnings or not by assuming a fixed environment and showing expressions based on the design rules. Also, warnings are applied by carrying out the measuring process when the event attribute values are inserted at every point. Therefore, there is a limit for distinguishing the range of occurrence and the level of severity in regard to the new external problems occurring in a complicated environment. Such problems cannot be ed. Also, since it is difficult to expand the range of problems which can be possibly evaluated, it is impossible to evaluate any unexpected situation which could occur in the execution period. In this paper, a process-evaluating model based on the goal scenario is suggested to provide constant services through the current monitoring process in regard to the service demands of the new scenario which occurs outside. The new demands based on the outside situation are analyzed according to the goal scenario for the process activities. Also, by using the meta-heuristic algorithm, a similar process model is found and identified by combining similarity and interrelationship. The process can be stopped in advance or adjusted to the wanted direction.

In order to evaluate the influences of Myo-monitoring on masticatory muscles, Myo-monitoring on 31 normal persons and 30 persons with one more temporomandibular dysfunction symptoms during 45 minutes or above. The author observed velocities of mandibular opening and closing movement, variabilities of mandibular rest position and EMG activities of temporal and masseter muscles. The obtained results were as follows : 1. There were no significant differences on velocities of mandibular opening and closing movement between before and after Myo-monitoring. 2. There were significant differences on vertical dimension and total dimension form mandibular rest position to centric occlusion between before and after Myo-monitoring but no significant differences on anteroposterior and lateral dimension. 3. Activities of temporal and masseter muscles were decreased in Myo-Monitoring. 4. There were disappeared significant differences on EMG activity values between normal and symptom groups after myo-monitoring.

In the present study, the real-time monitoring system is developed based on the wireless sensor network (WSN) and power line communication (PLC) employed in the 3,000-ton-class training ship. The WSN consists of sensor nodes, router, gateway and middleware. The PLC is composed of power lines, modems, Ethernet gateway and phase-coupler. The basic tests show that the ship has rather good environments for the wired and wireless communications. The developed real-time monitoring system is applied to recognize the thermal environments of main-engine room and one cabin in the ship. The main-engine room has lots of heat sources and needs careful monitoring to satisfy safe operation condition or detect any human errors beforehand. The monitoring is performed in two regions near the turbocharger and cascade tank, considered as heat sources. The cabin on the second deck is selected to monitor the thermal environments because it is close to the heat source of main engine. The monitoring results of the cabin show the thermal environment is varied by the human activity. The real-time monitoring for the thermal environment would be useful for the planning of the ventilation strategy based on the traces of the human activity against inconvenient thermal environments as well as the recognizing the temperature itself in each cabin.

Recently, many companies and organizations are interested in predictive process monitoring for the efficient operation of business process models. Traditional process monitoring focused on the elapsed execution state of a particular process instance. On the other hand, predictive process monitoring focuses on predicting the future execution status of a particular process instance. In this paper, we implement the function of the business process remaining time prediction, which is one of the predictive process monitoring functions. In order to effectively model the remaining time, normalization by activity is proposed and applied to the predictive model by taking into account the difference in the distribution of time feature values according to the properties of each activity. In order to demonstrate the superiority of the predictive performance of the proposed model in this paper, it is compared with previous studies through event log data of actual companies provided by 4TU.Centre for Research Data.

Environmental Impact Assessment(EIA) was first formally established in the Korea in 1981. Subsequently there has been a rapid growth in EIA activity, and over one hundred fifty environmental impact statements are now published in Korea each year. Although EIA now has almost 20 years of history in the Korea, elsewhere the development of roles and practice is more recent. Development is moving apace in many countries, including the Japan and the EU Member States. Such progress has not been without its problems, and a number of the current issues in EIA-scope of the assessment, the relative roles, the quality of assessment and monitoring and auditing after decision, and so on- are highlighted. So the purpose of this article is to reform the EIA roles and process, in extending the scope of activity, and assessing effectiveness. This article suggested improving the effectiveness of project assessment, widening the scope: stretegic environmental assessment, and extending EIA to project design process, environmental monitoring and feedback system.

Ammoniac nitrogen excretion is not able to be removed in ocean fish farm. It is the reason for fish being dead in large quantities or declining feeding activity that ammoniac nitrogen is not removed efficiently in ocean fish farm. Because of declining with feeding activity, it is true that feed is wasted for the present. To solve this problem, NH3, one of environment factors in ocean fish farm, monitoring system is suggested to be formed in this paper.
