Although many Deleuzian studies refer to the paradigm of ?control society?, there is a more important concept in Deleuze philosophy that one could analyze post panoptic surveillance. This concept is ?reterritorialization? and Deleuze&Guattari used this paradigm to explain a rhizomatic power relations occurred in post-capitalist societies. Unlike the limits of the indications belonging control society, reterritorialization may help us to investigate the surveillance on both individualistic and social bases. This article aims to handle the post panoptic surveillance techniques with the concept of reterritorialization which refers to a liquid power passing through the bodies, desires and social at the same time.

Green infrastructures play an important role in ecological services and biodiversity preservation, improving significantly the quality of life of residents and visitors. The social dimension of gardens and parks at local (e.g. urban district) scale and green infrastructures at larger spatial scales is also addressed, fostering the relationship between local communities and urban landscapes. With economic crisis, urban parks are increasingly considered a primary component of integrated strategies for urban regeneration with a bottom-up approach, addressing the demand for "natural landscape" in peri-urban areas. By recovering public spaces with social purposes and providing a comprehensive strategy for aesthetic improvement of common goods, the analyzed case studies give examples of specific measures for promoting environment-friendly urban regeneration strategies under place-specific social contexts.

Measuring and evaluating healthcare system performance is both a theoretical as well as a practical problem with specific characteristics; it is not easy to measure the outputs of the healthcare systems and is not easy to express the outputs in monetary values and the causality between health inputs and outputs is not always certain. This paper defines the possible approaches which are used for measuring and evaluating healthcare systems, discusses the usability of these approaches, and points to some indicators of healthcare performance at the level of international comparison. The paper partially critically reflects selected approaches and highlights the limitations associated with these approaches to measuring and evaluating performance in healthcare systems and it also presents selected aspects of sustainable healthcare in the Czech Republic.

Mood Abstract: We apply a Pattern Analysis to evaluate the ?lasting aesthetic effect? of Kamran Khavarani?s paintings on viewers? mood. Our sample encompasses 252 subjects. All subjects visited three galleries, one of which was Khavarani?s, albeit in different orders. The data include the subjects? moods before and after visits, the order of their visits and their genders and age brackets. Almost every subject in the group who visited Khavarani?s gallery first, experienced an increase in their ?mood? that eventually declined after leaving that gallery. We have considered 64 combinations of patterns emerging from our data and conducted all respective regressions. The Chi Squares (?2) in all cases lead to accepting the null hypothesis for independence of the variables, with high P values. We confirm that Khavarani?s painting style has a ?lasting? effect on viewer?s mood.

The ad garnered international coverage from outlets such as CNN and the Guardian, with some local publications calling for legal action. The present study examines the legitimacy of this proposed legal initiative to outlaw ?discriminatory advertising,? drawing attention to the complex of intolerance and aggression that surrounds this topic. A content analysis of Thai media coverage of the Seoul Secret case was conducted. The sample of content included both print and online publications, including social media posts that mentioned the story. Results indicated that the value of free speech appears to be absent from the discourse about discriminatory advertising in Thailand.

This research interrogates how social players work in an interlocked way in public art project further to redefine the public art administration. From the perspective of stakeholder analysis, it evaluates the public policy making efforts of social players to map the path to realize their interests and expectations in the changing social life against the context of urbanization. A stakeholder-based public policy process is therefore presented, emphasizing the nourishment of power by education and value creation so as to redistribute decision-making power in co-building interactions, in which the quality of stakeholder involvement is improved by stakeholder development. Moreover, the study instigates more solid qualitative research on this specific engagement with empirical evidences collected from survey in Hefei city, China.
