Ukrainian Vocal School of the 1950s–1970s in the Personal Memoir Writings: The Sociocultural and Artistic Aspects
Authors: Kabka Hennadii , Kazantseva-Kabka Oxana
Published: November 2023

The paper attempts to consider the personal writings of the figures of 1950s–1970s Ukrainian vocal art from the standpoint of contemporary art research. Personal writings of Borys Hmyria, Bohdan Hnyd, Lilia Lobanova, Yevhenia Miroshnychenko, Kostiantyn Ohnievoi, and Klavdia Radchenko reveal cultural and historical processes of the era. The inclusion of personal writings allows to avoid schematizing while portraying the iconic cultural figures, it facilitates the immersion into the spiritual, cultural, and historical contexts of their personal life stages, comprehension of their motivation for certain acts, clarifies the individual characteristics of the artists upon some time distance, as well astheir role on the context of the development of culture. The study of the personal texts of the artists from the same creative environment and institution—Kyiv Opera—enables one to draw a general perspective of the creative process within the leading opera company of the time, to observe the role of their creativity in the context of development of Ukrainian vocal art. By highlighting their life stages and creative development, the complex of their individual traits that at the same time is characteristic of their circle becomes evident. The lead singers of the Kyiv Opera of the 1950s–1970s in their writings pose a perplexing question to the researcher: whether the era shapes the artist orthe artists change their times with their professional performance. This existential and philosophic rhetoric of the personal writings by Borys Hmyria, Bohdan Hnyd, Lilia Lobanova, Yevhenia Miroshnychenko, Kostiantyn Ohnievoi, and Klavdia Radchenko became the basis for getting an insight into their creativity, studying the real fabric of the cultural era, and overall cultural history of Ukraine

Study Design: This study is a retrospective cohort study.Purpose: This study aims to determine whether preoperative neuroforaminal stenosis (FS) severity is associated with motor function patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF).Overview of Literature: Cervical FS can significantly contribute to patient symptoms. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been used to classify FS, there has been limited research into the impact of FS severity on patient outcomes.Methods: Patients undergoing primary, elective 1–3 level ACDF for radiculopathy at a single academic center between 2015 and 2021 were identified retrospectively. Cervical FS was evaluated using axial T2-weighted MRI images via a validated grading scale. The maximum degree of stenosis was used for multilevel disease. Motor symptoms were classified using encounters at their final preoperative and first postoperative visits, with examinations ≤3/5 indicating weakness. PROMs were obtained preoperatively and at 1-year follow-up. Bivariate analysis was used to compare outcomes based on stenosis severity, followed by multivariable analysis.Results: This study included 354 patients, 157 with moderate stenosis and 197 with severe stenosis. Overall, 58 patients (16.4%) presented with upper extremity weakness ≤3/5. A similar number of patients in both groups presented with baseline motor weakness (13.5% vs. 16.55, p =0.431). Postoperatively, 97.1% and 87.0% of patients with severe and moderate FS, respectively, experienced full motor recovery (p =0.134). At 1-year, patients with severe neuroforaminal stenosis presented with significantly worse 12-item Short Form Survey Physical Component Score (PCS-12) (33.3 vs. 37.3, p =0.049) but demonstrated a greater magnitude of improvement (Δ PCS-12: 5.43 vs. 0.87, p =0.048). Worse stenosis was independently associated with greater ΔPCS-12 at 1-year (β =5.59, p =0.022).Conclusions: Patients with severe FS presented with worse preoperative physical health. While ACDF improved outcomes and conferred similar motor recovery in all patients, those with severe FS reported much better improvement in physical function.
Preoperative Radiographic Simulation for Partial Uncinate Process Resection during Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion to Achieve Adequate Foraminal Decompression and Prevention of Vertebral Artery Injury
Authors: Yang Jae Jun , Kim Ho-Jun , Lee Jin Bog , Park Sehan
Published: November 2023

Study Design: Retrospective radiographic study.Purpose: This study aims to demonstrate the proper resection trajectory of a partial posterior uncinate process resection combined with anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and evaluate whether foraminal stenosis or uncinate process degeneration increases the risk of vertebral artery (VA) injury.Overview of Literature: Appropriate resection trajectory that could result in sufficient decompression and avoid vertebral artery injury is yet unknown.Methods: We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent cervical magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography angiography for preoperative ACDF evaluation. The segments were classified according to the presence of foraminal stenosis. The height, thickness, anteroposterior length, horizontal distance from the uncinate process to the VA, and vertical distance from the uncinate process baseline to the VA of the uncinate process were measured. The distance between the uncinate anterior margin and the resection trajectory (UAM-to-RT) was measured.Results: There were no VA injuries or root injuries among the 101 patients who underwent ACDF (163 segments, mean age of 56.3±12.2). Uncinate anteroposterior length was considerably longer in foramens with foraminal stenosis, whereas uncinate process height, thickness, and distance between the uncinate process and VA were not significantly associated with foraminal stenosis. There were no significant differences in radiographic parameters based on uncinate degeneration. The UAM-to-RT distances for adequate decompression were 1.6±1.4 mm (range, 0–4.8 mm), 3.4±1.7 mm (range, 0–7.1 mm), 4.0±1.7 mm (range, 0–9.0 mm), and 4.5±1.2 mm (range, 2.5–7.5 mm) for C3–C4, C4–C5, C5–C6, and C6–C7, respectively.Conclusions: More than half of the uncinate process in the anteroposterior plane should be removed for adequate neural foramen decompression. Foraminal stenosis or uncinate degeneration did not alter the relative anatomy of the uncinate process and the VA and did not impact VA injury risk.

Authors: Leyendecker Jannik , Prasse Tobias , Rahhal Ahmad Al , Hofstetter Christoph Paul , Wetsch Wolfgang , Eysel Peer , Bredow Jan
Published: November 2023

Study Design: This was a retrospective multivariate analysis of preoperative risk factors leading to intensive care unit (ICU) admissions in patients undergoing elective or acute dorsal spine surgery.Purpose: Numerous studies have predicted a substantial increase in spine surgeries within the next decades, potentially overwhelming hospitals’ resources, including ICU occupancy. Accurate estimates of whether patients need postsurgical ICU treatment are pivotal for both resource allocation and patient safety.Overview of Literature: Risk factors leading to ICU admissions after dorsal spine surgery have been extensively examined for lumbar elective surgery. Studies including other anatomical segments of the spine and nonelective surgery regarding postsurgical ICU treatment probability are lacking.Methods: This study was designed to be a single-center multivariate analysis of data retrospectively collected from a tertiary care university hospital. Patients undergoing dorsal spine surgery from 2009 to 2019 were included in this study. The patients’ demographic data were analyzed to determine potential preoperative risk factors for ICU admission after surgery using multiple logistic regression.Results: In our cohort, 962 patients with a mean age of 71.1±0.55 years were included. Surgeries involved 3.24±0.08 spinal levels on average. The incidence of ICU treatment after surgery was 30.4% (n=292). Multivariate logistic regression showed a markedly increased odds ratio (OR) for patients undergoing surgery of the cervicothoracic junction (OR, 8.86) and those undergoing surgery for spinal deformity treatment (OR, 7.7). Additionally, cervical procedures (OR, 3.29), American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) class 3–4 (OR, 2.74), spondylodiscitis (OR, 2.47), fusion of ≥3 levels (OR, 1.94), and age >75 years (OR, 1.33) were associated with an increased risk of postsurgical ICU admission.Conclusions: The findings highlight the relevance of anatomical location, preoperative diagnosis, ASA class, and length of surgery regarding the predictability of postoperative ICU admission. Our data allowed for more sophisticated estimates regarding the need for ICU treatment after dorsal spine surgery, guiding the surgeon through patient selection, communication, and ICU admission predictability.
Clinical and Radiological Outcomes after Reducing Adult Lytic High-Grade Spondylolisthesis Using a Hybrid Technique: Combination of Percutaneous Pedicle Screws with Midline Microscopic Transforaminal Decompression
Authors: Patel Bharat K. , Bapat Mihir R. , Gujral Amandeep
Published: November 2023

Study Design: Retrospective study.Purpose: To analyze the results and effectiveness of percutaneous screws (PS) with midline microscopic transforaminal decompression (MTFD) technique in reducing adult stiff lytic high-grade spondylolisthesis (HGSL) and compare it with the conventional technique.Overview of Literature: Pedicle screw cannulation and segmental kyphosis negotiation are surgical challenges in HGSL. Open reduction is the preferred approach. PS have the advantage of optimized trajectory and minimized soft tissue exposure. The role of minimally invasive surgery in HGSL remains unknown. We propose a hybrid technique combining PS with MTFD for lytic HGSL.Methods: This study included 25 patients with adult lytic HGSL (Meyerding grade III and IV) operated using a hybrid technique from 2012 to 2015. Data were compared with retrospective data on conventional open reduction (n=23) operated from 2000 to 2015. The minimum follow-up was 5 years. Clinical outcomes were assessed using the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score and modified Oswestry Disability Index (m-ODI). The spinopelvic and perioperative parameters were recorded. The inter-body fusion and adjacent segment degeneration (ASD) were assessed on radiographs at the final follow-up.Results: The average age in the MTFD and open groups was 45.84±12.70 years (nine males and 16 females) and 49.26±13.33 years (eight males and 15 females), respectively. Further, 22 and three patients in the MTFD group and 19 and four in the open group had grade III and IV listhesis, respectively. The MTFD group demonstrated less operative time, blood loss, and hospital stays than the open group. Significant improvements were observed in VAS and m-ODI in subsequent follow-ups in both groups. The MTFD group fared better at 3 months but outcomes were comparable at the final follow-up. Both techniques were equally effective in restoring spinopelvic parameters. The incidence of ASD is comparable.Conclusions: The technique was proven effective in reducing HGSL. The long-term clinical and radiological outcomes were favorable and comparable with the conventional approach.
“Do you Shower with your Hijab?”
Authors: Antunes Ana Carolina
Published: November 2023

In this article, I use data from a Critical Participatory Action Research (CPAR) conducted in a high school in Salt Lake City, Utah to understand how racialization influences the sense of belonging for Muslim girls who veil. Using data collected through high school students’ questionnaires, Muslim girls’ personal experiences, and interviews with administration and faculty, I investigate how non-Muslim peers and school staff perceive Muslim girls at Mount Top High, a suburban high school. These perceptions shape the way members of the school community interact with Muslim girls and have a great impact on students’ sense of belonging and academic achievement.
“#HANDSOFFMYHIJAB”
Authors: B.K. Athira , Balyan Nidhi
Published: November 2023

We examine the emerging meanings of hijab practice as feminist strategy, and as a symbol of visibility for young Muslim women and girls in India. Through digital ethnography based on Instagram pages of selected retailers of hijabs, we explore the possibility of hijab as a costume of insubordination, and Islamic fashion as a critical practice against the backdrop of the 2022 Karnataka hijab row. We employ an analysis of Instagram posts to mark the intersecting points of faith, fashion media, and market in framing aesthetics for clothing practices among young Indian Muslim women. We also explore new contours of feminist assertions in the Muslim community, and how the digitally mediated visibility of Muslim women and girls contests the notion of Islamic fashion as oxymoronic.
Young Hijabis in Kashmir
Authors: Malik Aatina Nasir
Published: November 2023

In this article, I look at the perceptions, practices, and politics of donning the hijab in the lives of young Muslim women and girls in Kashmir. I conducted narrative analysis on observations and unstructured interviews that asked for young women's descriptions about the happenings, relationships, emotions, actions, and choices related to the donning of hijab with a recognition of the historical, cultural, and social context shaping them. My analysis departs from the binaries of oppression vs. resistance and personal vs. political to underscore the spatiotemporal everyday lived realities of hijabi girls and young women in locating the practice at the confluence of religion, militarization, and digitalization, tracing both the disjunctions and convergence in participants’ hijab narratives, thereby reconceptualizing the notion of agency.
(In)visible Muslim Girls
Authors: Dhalla Sakina
Published: November 2023

There are days I feel invisible, and days I wish I were. As a Brown Shia woman in hijab, I often feel as though people fail to see me, or do not care to. My experiences as a hijabi woman had me feeling simultaneously visible and invisible as those around me tried to decide which version of the Muslim girl I was—the oppressed Muslim girl who needed to be saved, the radical, or for those within my community, the good Muslim girl. The reality is I am none of these. In re/telling my stories, I explore how misrepresentations in the media made me question aspects of my identity and created feelings of (in)visibility, had me striving to be the model minority, and finally, how the hijab became a source of pride and a tool of resistance.
Participación política de los pueblos indígenas en Paraguay
Authors: Villalba Portillo Sara Mabel
Published: November 2023

El reconocimiento de los derechos de los pueblos indígenas se ha consolidado en los últimos años a nivel internacional, con regimens jurídicos creados en la mayoría de los Estados latinoamericanos. En Paraguay aumentó el número de candidaturas de personas indígenas en elecciones generales y municipales, así como la representación indígena en el ámbito municipal. No obstante, persisten numerosas barreras para la participación electoral y para la representación política de los pueblos indígenas en los niveles nacional, regional o local. El libro incluye tres grandes secciones: “Registro civil y electoral de los pueblos indígenas, Paraguay en perspectiva latinoamericana”, “Participación política indígena en las Juntas Municipales en Paraguay” y “Participación política indígena en Paraguay en las elecciones generales 2023”. La investigación contribuye a ampliar el conocimiento de la participación y la representación política de los pueblos indígenas en Paraguay. Asimismo, los hallazgos plantean propuestas a los organismos estatales para que ofrezcan políticas públicas adecuadas que posibiliten el pleno ejercicio de derechos por parte de los pueblos indígenas. El reconocimiento de la diversidad implica para los Estados y las sociedades asumir esfuerzos adicionales para responder a los desafíos de la convivencia democrática con colectivos que poseen sus propias prácticas, instituciones y sistema de valores. En este sentido, la promoción de la participación inclusiva emerge como un componente esencial en la expansión de los derechos y el fortalecimiento de la democracia.

Relations between indigenous peoples of Latin America and left governments
Authors: Vorotnikova Tatiana
Published: November 2023

The article reviews key aspects of the “Indian question” in those Latin American countries, where politicians of the modern left wave have recently come to power. It concerns the main issues on the agenda raised by indigenous peoples today, as well as the states’ response to their demands. Historical struggle for ethnic rights constituted a part of the extensive left platform on the continent. However, significant transformation of both, the left and indigenous movements, determine the relevance of the current research question. On the case studies of Bolivia, Colombia and Chile three different scenarios of the interaction between governments and indigenous rights organizations are considered.

Authors: Diplomatov Andrey
Published: November 2023

The author explores the issue of coverage of the activities of the left movement of Argentina and Uruguay in the international communist press, in particular, in the magazine "World Marxist Review" and the newspaper "For Lasting Peace, for People's Democracy". The article shows the peculiarities of the reflection by the two leading publications of the international communist movement of the activities of the left movement of these two countries in the period from the end of World War II to the collapse of "real socialism". The differences in the coverage of the activities of the leftists of Argentina and Uruguay are highlighted. According to the author, only the occasional appearance of Argentine and Uruguayan stories in the analyzed two publications was caused by the peripheral role of these countries for the international communist movement.

This study aims to describe the reading interest of elementary school students 01 and the factors that influence the reading interest of elementary school 01. This research is a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The subjects of this study were elementary school students 01. Data collection was carried out using the methods of observation, interviews, and documentation. Interest in reading elementary school students is still low. Based on the results of the study concluded that: reading interest of elementary school students 01 is still low. Judging from the level of student visits to the library that are rarely done. Students prefer to be in class, tell stories with friends, compared to reading books to the library. The low reading interest of students is due to students lacking feelings, attention to books and the benefits of reading, as well as motivation from themselves and from others (the environment). The factors that influence students' mint reading are factors: internal factors (feelings, attention and motivation). The steps taken are by giving motivation, continuous attention to elementary school students 01 and attention to increase reading interest. Factors that influence reading interest from outside consist of the role of teacher, environment, family and facilities. A teacher should use the theory or component of learning strategies as a learning principle so that the learning process can be accepted by students well and more easily. The existence of a library in the school, where the library is a learning resource that is expected to foster interest in reading for students, then it should be managed well, for example a more attractive library design and provide many picture books that can improve the student's motor skills.

On periodic and compactly supported least energy solutions to semilinear elliptic equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearity
Authors: Giacomoni Jacques , Il’yasov Yavdat , Kumar Deepak
Published: November 2023

We discuss the existence and non-existence of periodic in one variable and compactly supported in the other variables least energy solutions for equations with non-Lipschitz nonlinearity of the form: − Δ u = λ u p − u q in R N + 1 , where 0 < q < p < 1 and λ ∈ R. The approach is based on the Nehari manifold method supplemented by a one-sided constraint given through the functional of the suitable Pohozaev identity. The limit value of the parameter λ, where the approach is applicable, corresponds to the existence of periodic in one variable and compactly supported in the other variables least energy solutions. This value is found through the extrem values of nonlinear generalized Rayleigh quotients and the so-called curve of the critical exponents of p, q. Important properties of the solutions are derived for suitable ranges of the parameters, such as that they are not trivial with respect to the periodic variable and do not coincide with compactly supported solutions on the entire space R N + 1 .
The Complex Reality of Modularization – Towards an Approach for a Business-Driven Modularization of Smart Products
Authors: Lennartsson Dan , Raudberget Dag , Sandkuhl Kurt , Seigerroth Ulf
Published: November 2023

The main objective of this article is to structure and clarify the transdisciplinary reality of modularization as a foundation for handling business-driven modularization of smart products. Lately, the complexity has increased in the industry due to global manufacturing, different customer requirements, legal requirements, digitalization, new business models, and the evolvement of smart products. The increasingly complex reality has been acknowledged on an enterprise engineering level where complexity is one part of different grand challenges for enterprises. This complexity needs to be handled both horizontally (in the whole value chain) and vertically (on all management levels). It is therefore essential to clarify the modularization landscape by bringing together the business domain, and the engineering domain to cater for the future of modularization. The main contribution of this paper is to suggest a conceptualization of the modularization domain through a meta-model that covers essential aspects of business-driven modularization of smart products.
A Method of Integrating Design Information in the Aircraft Preliminary Design Process
Authors: Skarka Wojciech
Published: November 2023

When designing light aircraft, the designer should take into account many different factors from various fields, such as aerodynamics, structural strength, flight mechanics, etc., from the conception stage. To perform advanced analyzes during development and optimisation work, it is usually necessary to quickly generate an aircraft model in the CAD environment. Such a primary geometric form is the input model for further analyses. The paper presents a method of quick generation of the CAD model including the conceptual form of the aircraft. The model is created on the basis of previously identified assumptions and construction rules used in the design of aircraft. The rules are based on integrated information from the fields of aircraft design, aerodynamics, and flight mechanics, as well as good engineering practises and aviation regulations. The structure of the information and the way of its integration into the CAD model were presented. Generative modelling is used to generate the CAD model. The model also includes strength verification algorithms, which are commonly used in conceptual design. The geometric model is based on a hierarchical structure adapted for reuse. The structure of the model is simplified for the purposes of preliminary model generation, but has the potential for further extensive development and refinement. This basic geometry can be used for further development and refinement. The paper also presents the verification of the method on the example of ready-made commercial aircraft and glider structures, starting from classic structures and ending with structures with the best performance used in air sports.
Apply Deep Learning to Build a Personalized Attraction Recommendation System in a Smart Product Service System
Authors: Tsai Cheng-Zhou , Huang Hau , Wei Chia-Jung , Chiu Ming-Chuan
Published: November 2023

Although most studies use data analysis models as a solution for SPSS, a single model cannot handle multiple tasks at the same time, and errors in model analysis can easily make the system unstable, resulting in unsatisfactory services provided to customers. In addition, most studies extract potential customer needs through textual data, while ignoring the information possessed by image data. In order to make up for the lack of research, this study proposes a method, which includes: (1) Constructing a suitable model to optimize the existing PSS, in which the customer preference is extracted from the image data through the Object Detection model. (2) Analyze customer feedback through Natural Language Processing (NLP) methods to optimize the system. (3) Integrate multiple deep learning models to build a recommendation system to provide customers with personalized services. The main purpose of this research is to integrate multiple models into an SPSS, and to provide a more stable system through the interactive operation of the models. Among them, it analyzes user preferences through image assistance, improves customer satisfaction, and establishes a feedback system to provide personalized services based on user comments. In this study, the customer journey map is used to verify the feasibility of this attraction recommendation system, and experiments show that this system can improve customer satisfaction.
Design of a Lithium-Ion Battery Pack for a Small Urban Electric Vehicle: Challenges and Lessons Learned by a Transdisciplinary Team
Authors: Werlich Samuel Henrique , Gotz Joelton Deonei , Corrêa Fernanda Cristina , Borsato Milton
Published: November 2023

Electric vehicles (EVs) are emerging as a feasible solution to combat emissions, reduce reliance on fossil fuels, and gradually replace internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. The primary purpose of the traction battery in EVs is to provide energy to power the electric motor. However, the design of these batteries is complex, which presents one of the significant challenges in reducing the cost of vehicle electrification. This article discusses the obstacles a transdisciplinary team faces in developing a lithium-ion battery with a battery management system (BMS) for a small urban vehicle under the “Rota 2030 Program. The case study focuses on the collaboration between researchers from Brazilian technology institutions and two subsidiaries of multinational automotive companies based in Brazil. The team encountered difficulties locating information regarding commercial electric vehicle systems, such as battery sizing details, cell configurations, the chemical composition used, and developing BMS hardware and software, which are constantly evolving. The initial results reveal the complexity and challenges involved in designing a battery that meets the requirements of an EV.
Transdisciplinary Setup Guide for Automated Maintenance Training Generation in Virtual Reality from Virtual Commissioning
Authors: Quast Sascha , Konkol Kathrin
Published: November 2023

In automated production industries, qualified maintenance is important. Planning and executing complex practical maintenance training scenarios on real machines can be expensive. To reduce cost, virtual training simulations in Virtual Reality (VR) are slowly being established in the virtual commissioning sector, but implementation times can be long and costly when each new training scenario needs to be implemented manually. This paper describes the outcome of a three-year research project, which addressed an automated generation of gamified maintenance training in VR based on existing virtual commissioning scenarios instead of manually configuring the machine logic on an example in the automotive industry. With the project partners from the automotive and gaming industry, a demonstrator was created. The result is a transdisciplinary setup guide for three different user types: the commissioner, the trainer, and the trainee. The users are supported with a combination of automated functions and included descriptions to utilize VR without being VR experts. The first user, the commissioner, can generate a VR scene from virtual commissioning and connects them so that the real machine behavior of the virtual Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) and Numerical Control (NC) can be used in VR over the virtual Human Machine Interfaces (HMI) like touchscreens, buttons, and other machine parts. The trainer can configure training in this virtual commissioning scene for the maintenance trainee to use for virtual machine training. The demonstrator received positive feedback from key users of the automotive industry and should be tested for their training in the next steps.

The topic of team composition, recomposition, and role selection in long-term educational programs that comprise of multiple smaller courses, such as coding bootcamps, has received limited attention in the literature, despite its importance. However, the rise of large-scale online learning environments such as MOOCs has highlighted the need for effective strategies to address the high drop-out rates and low quality graduates observed in these contexts. In this paper, we propose to build a theoretical framework by using a multiple-criteria technique that incorporates personalities, agile, and gamification to address this problem. This framework will be used to better understand the dynamics of team composition, recomposition, and role selection in virtual teams within such educational programs.

Published: November 2023

Sustainable development for cities and communities presents challenges planning for economic and environmental resiliency. Workshops can bring stakeholders’ local knowledge in combination with planning experts’ professional knowledge. This paper proposes a system model for workshops operating as transdisciplinary problem-solving systems of functions, processes, and roles. The identified mechanisms link to three steps: first, stakeholders define the relevant problems; second, stakeholders and planning experts contribute to exploring a range of possible decisions. Finally, decision methods illuminate and prioritize options for selecting concepts of desired solutions. An approach to examine and test the workshop system model for a site-specific example focuses on land-use at transit stations. The research aims to improve human capacity to address the growing complexity in cities increasing social equity with economic and environmental resilience.

Published: November 2023

The digital transition of manufacturing shop floors makes topical an empirical study of designing a cybernetic system to monitor and control the performance of smart manufacturing. This paper uses Transdisciplinary Design Science (TDS) to explore how a company producing large products designs and evaluates a cybernetic system providing the needed functionalities to monitor and control an unpaced manufacturing line. TDS involves an exploration of a solution, designing the cybernetic system, followed by an explanatory elaboration of theories. By studying the exploration and explanation through the lens of the means-end-analysis the paper shows that the means to enable a digital transition of the manufacturing shop floor have a transdisciplinary nature; the transfer of means across disciplinary boundaries is either to translate or transform.

Digital Twins (DTs) as a disruptive technology of digital transformation are emerging as a true game changer in several application fields. Through digital representations of physical entities, vertical and horizontal integration can take place. This is the basis for comprehensive interoperability and accessibility between human and machine. This paper elaborates an application scenario bringing together DT in a collaborative environment with manifold devices like computers, tablets, or Extended Reality (XR) devices. Therefore, a DT has been developed which can describe and adapt itself according to the user requirements. This is complemented by a cross-compatible application that visualizes the sensor data in almost real-time and allows the user to interact with or control the DT from any location. In a first proof of concept, a seminar room has been equipped with interior air quality measurement devices which encapsulate several sensors within a 3D printed surrounding. The resulting data was then made available via the corresponding DTs of the measurement devices to the user on a HoloLens 2, Varjo XR-3, computer, or mobile device. The bidirectional flow of data and information between the physical and digital space enables to influence the physical devices through their DTs. The DT, combined with XR, can be used transdisciplinary in teaching or industrial environments.
A Mathematical Model for 3D Bin Packing in Robotic Mobile Fulfillment Systems

Published: November 2023

Robotic mobile fulfillment systems have received increased attention in high throughput supply chain solutions. These systems are complex and require understanding of the single components and their interaction. Components include picking, replenishing, stock keeping unit allocation and task allocation. This paper focuses on the component of stock keeping unit allocation which is an NP-Hard combinatorial optimization problem and belongs to the cutting & packing problems. The problem is defined via a mathematical model which is the first bin packing model for pods with compartments in RMFS. The resulting mixed integer programming model is then solved for small instances via Gurobi, a state-of-the-art solver for mathematical programming. The model is verified with a small-scale example. To obtain a solution for larger instances, we develop a simulated annealing approach and compare it to the exact model. Different operators are compared and evaluated on heterogeneous toy-examples of different size. Finally, a packing case with stock keeping units and pods derived from an industrial case is explored, which demonstrated the application of our packing algorithm to large instances in the industrial environment.
Applying Deep Learning to Establish a Telemedicine Assistance System: A Case Study of the Stage Classification of Pressure Injuries

Published: November 2023

The current medical system still uses manual work for the assessment of pressure injuries. For medical staff, it consumes lots of time and energy, and is difficult to maintain a consistent judgment. In recent years, Covid-19 has worsened the shortage of medical resources and manpower, and has promoted telemedicine. However, limited by the inability to actually touch the affected part of the patient, the medical staff will also have deviations in the judgment of the wound, which will affect the treatment effect. At present, there are only a few studies on the stage identification of pressure injuries, and the accuracy is unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study aims to establish a telemedicine assistance system based on YOLOv7, which is a deep learning model with classification and real-time judgment ability. The front-end interface of this system includes iOS, Android, and Web pages to address the shortcomings of previous studies and provide more real-time pressure injuries wound information in the process of telemedicine. The contributions of this research include providing an available pressure injuries stage classification model with a classification F1 Score value of 0.9246, which can support medical staff to make quick and accurate decisions clinically, and carry out corresponding medical measures according to each stage of symptoms; and can help patients who are inconvenient to visit the hospital to obtain real-time and correct diagnostic information during telemedicine, and seek different medical assistance according to the severity of symptoms; furthermore, immediately remind the medical staff when tracking the improvement or deterioration of pressure injuries, and make corresponding adjustments in treatment techniques and medication.

Users’ perceptions of online museums’ virtual exhibitions still need vivid exploration, public museums are increasingly adopting technological innovations for online virtual exhibitions, but further studies are required to understand how audiences and users respond to them. This preliminary research study aimed to explore users’ perceptions of the museum’s online virtual exhibition from the user-centered usability perspective, which refers to the process of evaluating products and services based on their usability for users. In this study, we put forth a conceptual and theoretical framework to guide our investigation and employed descriptive statistics and factor analysis. The analysis identifies two key factors, F1 and F2, that influence users’ perceptions and reveal their relationship with the examined factors. Factor 1 (F1) reflects user experience (0.612), user ease (0.754), user satisfaction (0.580), and user expectation (0.551) from Scale 1. While displaying an inverse relationship with Scale 2-5 items, including impact on the user (-0.881), user attitude (-0.732), user satisfaction (-0.881), and usefulness of techs (-0.634). Factor 2 (F2) exhibits high loadings for user overall experience (0.930) and user experience of virtual tools (0.657) from Scale 1. These findings indicate the significant influence on how users perceive the experience of the museum’s online virtual exhibition. Thus, a comprehensive approach integrating user-centered usability perspectives, user perceptions, and technological innovations, is essential for creating an optimal public museum’s online virtual exhibition experience under the transdisciplinary engineering principles.
