Using STSD for understanding the implementation of automation in organisations
Authors: Landmark Andreas D , Kamsvaag Pål Furu , Andersen Thale K 
Published: May 2020

Workplace automation is a highly studied process. In contrast, the implementation phase – critical for innovation success – where conflicts and misalignments between new technology and various organisational levels and phenomena arise, is less described. In this study, we have followed the introduction of automated guided vehicles in a warehouse/distribution centre aimed at increasing efficiency of operations and thus productivity. Building on socio-technical systems design and the job-demands-resources-model, and theories on technology implementation related to the organisations' ability to handle interferences explained in the language of misalignments and alignments, the study describes using qualitative methodology how system-internal variation becomes “enemy” of the AGV introduction; the automation itself cannot succeed without rebalancing the control capacity of the tasks it is augmenting or replacing. The paper also proposes that existing theories used to explain the success or failure of technology implementation are inadequate as they don't take in the complexity of the complete context but address single level phenomena independently of other relevant levels and phenomena.
Dynamic capabilities: Their effect on performance mediated by product integration in the highly acquisitive software industry
Authors: Parker Pauline , Davis Kate 
Published: May 2020

Building on behavioural theory employing dynamic capabilities, this paper examines how firms create competitive advantage through innovation over time after multiple mergers and acquisitions. Mergers and acquisitions are a way to acquire gaps and prominently missing features and functions; the firm then has only to assimilate them into their portfolio. This research is focused on the acquirer’s ability towards obtaining performance from product integration and is set within the context of highly acquisitive software-houses; those organisations involved in the sales and manufacture of business software products. The ability to realign and innovate this will increase performance over the long term.
Facebook Goes to College; Recent Research on Educational Uses of Social Networks
Authors: Erdmann Susan 
Published: May 2020

The number of courses offered partially or entirely online continues to grow, offering students many different ways to access academic content. Educational institutions largely use course management systems to deliver academic content, collect assignments and conduct discussions. Traditional CMS systems, however, are often underutilized and almost always require login protocols tied to students’ institutional email accounts. The ubiquity of the social networking site Facebook, demonstrates that students are willing to use online environments to exchange information and, naturally, many academics have been eager to use the networking site in their classes. The following essay examines some of these attempts in order to gain a clearer picture of some of the advantages and pitfalls of using Facebook as a CMS.
Musikalske praksiser i sosiale mellomrom
Authors: Fagerheim Paal 
Published: May 2020

This article examines the concept of relational aesthetics, starting with Nicolas Bourriaud's discussion related to art theory. It discusses the concept in relation to music as experiencebased action, where familiar issues between high and low and between art and popular culture are affected. The article emphasizes the "music" as an active social space, characterized by ritualized practices that are active in human life, ways of being-in-the world, and alternative and experimental reality categories.
Celebrating 100 Years of Musical Outreach in Scandinavia
Authors: Valberg Tony 
Published: May 2020

This article outlines the significant, but less investigated historical development of musical outreach; the professional symphony orchestras effort to introduce classical music to new audiences, especially children and adolescents. Many Norwegian symphony orchestras have held public concerts for 100 years and throughout this period they have set up strategic objectives regarding outreach. Through a series of musical examples from various concerts targeting new audiences, the article draws a historical overview of the different concepts of concerts that have developed from the early 1900s till today. In order to better understand the uniqueness of these concerts, and enable us to appreciate the special experiences they offer, the article provides contributions to a terminology that can make us better able to assess and discuss these concerts on premises that is their own, and not rashly handed down from hegemonic notions of the classical concert experience. Keywords: Outreach, childrens concerts, school concerts, new audiences, 1B1, Kristiansand Symphony Orchestra.Affiliation: University of Agder, Faculty of Fine Arts

Published: May 2020

Abstract. The Southern Ocean may contribute a considerable amount to the
proposed global network of marine protected areas (MPAs) that should cover
about 10 % of the world's oceans in 2020. In the Antarctic, the Commission
for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) is
responsible for this task, and currently Germany leads a corresponding
scientific evaluation of the wider Weddell Sea region. Compared to other
marine regions within the Southern Ocean, the Weddell Sea is exceptionally
well investigated. A tremendous amount of data and information has been
produced over the last 4 decades. Here, we give a systematic overview of
all data sources collected in the context of the Weddell Sea MPA planning
process. The compilation of data sources is comprised of data produced by
scientists and institutions from more than 20 countries that were either
available within our institutes, downloaded via data portals or transcribed
from the literature. It is the first compilation for this area that includes
abiotic data, such as bathymetry and sea ice, and ecological data from
zooplankton, zoobenthos, fish, birds and marine mammals. All data layer
products based on this huge compilation of environmental and ecological data
are available from the data publisher PANGAEA via the six persistent
identifiers at https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.899595 (Pehlke and Teschke,
2019), https://doi.org/10.1594/PANGAEA.899667 (Teschke et al., 2019a),

Allelopathy a Tool for Sustainable Weed Management
Authors: Shirgapure K. H. , Ghosh Pritam 
Published: May 2020

Phytochemicals released by plant species into the environment inhibit the emergence and growth of surrounding plants by changing their metabolic activity or impacting on their soil community mutualists referred as allelopathy. Allelochemicals are the compounds produced from the secondary metabolism of higher plants and microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria and viruses and affect on many processes in ecosystems and agro-ecosystems. In complex agro-ecosystem both crop and weed shows allelophathic effect. Allelochemicals from crop plant affect on other crop and weed while allelochemicals from weed effect on other weed and crop, beside this both weed and crop also shows autoallelopathy. Hence scientific and proper estimation of allelopathic plant, their allelochemical and susceptible weed species is necessary through advance research. This is helps to increase agricultural production, reduction in cost of pesticides, environment hazard, and way for the sustainable weed management and sustainable development of agricultural production as well as ecological systems.

Published: April 2020

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a common malignancy with poor prognosis and high mortality. To identify key genes associated with HCC and the underlying mechanisms, we performed weighted correlation network analysis (WGCNA) of potential key genes of HCC. We identified 17 key genes closely related to HCC by yellow module combined with PPI analysis. Verification of the role of these genes revealed that SPC25 knockdown results in a significant decrease in proliferation and metastasis of HCC cells and increased protein levels of components of the p53 pathway in vitro. In summary, we identified that SPC25 is a potential tumor‐promoting factor in HCC and may act via the p53 pathway.

Published: April 2020

AbstractAn artificial basilar membrane (ABM) is an acoustic transducer that mimics the mechanical frequency selectivity of the real basilar membrane, which has the potential to revolutionize current cochlear implant technology. While such ABMs can be potentially realized using piezoelectric, triboelectric, and capacitive transduction methods, it remains notoriously difficult to achieve resistive ABM due to the poor frequency discrimination of resistive‐type materials. Here, a point crack technology on noncracking vertically aligned gold nanowire (V‐AuNW) films is reported, which allows for designing soft acoustic sensors with electric signals in good agreement with vibrometer output—a capability not achieved with corresponding bulk cracking system. The strategy can lead to soft microphones for music recognition comparable to the conventional microphone. Moreover, a soft resistive ABM is demonstrated by integrating eight nanowire‐based sensor strips on a soft trapezoid frame. The wearable ABM exhibits high‐frequency selectivity in the range of 319–1951 Hz and high sensitivity of 0.48–4.26 Pa−1. The simple yet efficient fabrication in conjunction with programmable crack design indicates the promise of the methodology for a wide range of applications in future wearable voice recognition devices, cochlea implants, and human–machine interfaces.

Published: April 2020

AbstractSurface passivation is an effective approach to eliminate defects and thus to achieve efficient perovskite solar cells, while the stability of the passivation effect is a new concern for device stability engineering. Herein, tribenzylphosphine oxide (TBPO) is introduced to stably passivate the perovskite surface. A high efficiency exceeding 22%, with steady‐state efficiency of 21.6%, is achieved, which is among the highest performances for TiO2 planar cells, and the hysteresis is significantly suppressed. Further density functional theory (DFT) calculation reveals that the surface molecule superstructure induced by TBPO intermolecular π–π conjugation, such as the periodic interconnected structure, results in a high stability of TBPO–perovskite coordination and passivation. The passivated cell exhibits significantly improved stability, with sustaining 92% of initial efficiency after 250 h maximum‐power‐point tracking. Therefore, the construction of a stabilized surface passivation in this work represents great progress in the stability engineering of perovskite solar cells.

AbstractAlthough several transparent conducting materials such as carbon nanotubes, graphene, and conducting polymers have been intensively explored as flexible electrodes in optoelectronic devices, their insufficient electrical conductivity, low work function, and complicated electrode fabrication processes have limited their practical use. Herein, a 2D titanium carbide (Ti3C2) MXene film with transparent conducting electrode (TCE) properties, including high electrical conductivity (≈11 670 S cm−1) and high work function (≈5.1 eV), which are achieved by combining a simple solution processing with modulation of surface composition, is described. A chemical neutralization strategy of a conducting‐polymer hole‐injection layer is used to prevent detrimental surface oxidation and resulting degradation of the electrode film. Use of the MXene electrode in an organic light‐emitting diode leads to a current efficiency of ≈102.0 cd A−1 and an external quantum efficiency of ≈28.5% ph/el, which agree well with the theoretical maximum values from optical simulations. The results demonstrate the strong potential of MXene as a solution‐processable electrode in optoelectronic devices and provide a guideline for use of MXenes as TCEs in low‐cost flexible optoelectronic devices.

Published: April 2020

AbstractSelf‐cleaning surface coatings is ubiquitous with variety of products today including glass and ceramic tiles, anti‐fogging mirrors, paints, mortars, and concrete. The phenomenon of self‐cleaning is attributed to superhydrophobic surface capable of cleaning itself without any human intervention. The development of superhydrophobic surfaces has been inspired by the desire to mimic the nature viz., water repellent property of lotus leaves and the process is termed as lotus effect. A variety of chemical and physical methods have been reported to fabricate of rough surfaces with low‐surface‐energy coating like, molecular assembly processes, chemical vapor deposition, sol–gel method, and breath‐figure technique (BFT) among others. Among them, BFT offers simple solution processability, robustness, and excellent tunability of surface architecture at different length scales. In this progress report, molecular architectonics of small functional molecules and its application in fabricating selfcleaning materials and surfaces through simple solution processing techniques is described. In these bioinspired approaches, self‐assembly properties of small functional molecules at the molecular level can be controlled by conjugating with basic biomolecules or biomimetic units as functional auxiliaries and adapting suitable experimental techniques. Overall, this progress report demonstrates the progress in molecular architectonics‐based approaches to develop superhydrophobic surfaces with self‐cleaning applications.
The Effect of Interfacial Charge Distribution on Chemical Compatibility and Stability of the High Voltage Electrodes (LiCoPO4, LiNiPO4)/Solid Electrolyte (LiPON) Interface

Published: April 2020

AbstractSolid electrolytes hold the promise of improved safety and superior electrochemical stability in energy storage systems. Among those, electrolytes with phosphate anions are expected to be more stable at high operating voltages, thereby providing even higher energy density. The key challenge is to control the boundary conditions at the cathode/electrolyte interface, which impact drastically the functionality of the energy storage devices. Here, the evolution of the chemical composition and electronic properties of the interface forms upon consequent deposition of solid electrolyte (lithium phosphorous oxynitride [LiPON]) onto the 5 V LiCoPO4 and LiNiPO4 carbon‐free thin film cathode materials is in situ studied by comprehensive electron spectroscopy experiments combined with the energy band diagram approach. It is demonstrated that the driving forces for interfacial reactivity are the band bending direction and the double layer potential drop at the electrode–electrolyte interface coupled to an unfavorable electrochemical potential shift of involved electronic states upon contact formation. The probability for interfacial chemical reactions is essentially increased at small energy differences in the ionization potentials of the cathode material and electrolyte, whereas a large energy difference ensures their chemical compatibility.

AbstractVast quantities of powder leave production lines each day, often with strict control measures. For quality checks to provide the most value, they must be capable of screening individual particles in 3D and at high throughput. Conceptually, X‐ray computed tomography (CT) is capable of this; however, achieving lab‐based reconstructions of individual particles has, until now, relied upon scan‐times on the order of tens of hours, or even days, and although synchrotron facilities are potentially capable of faster scanning times, availability is limited, making in‐line product analysis impractical. This work describes a preparation method and high‐throughput scanning procedure for the 3D characterization of powder samples in minutes using nano‐CT by full‐filed transmission X‐ray microscopy with zone‐plate focusing optics. This is demonstrated on various particle morphologies from two next‐generation lithium‐ion battery cathodes: LiNi0.8Mn0.1Co0.1O2 and LiNi0.6Mn0.2Co0.2O2; namely, NMC811 and NMC622. Internal voids are detected which limit energy density and promote degradation, potentially impacting commercial application such as the drivable range of an electric vehicle.

AbstractBackgroundJusticia adhatoda and Ocimum tenuiflorum, locally known as bashok and tulsi, are two ethnomedicinally important herbs that have been using as dietary supplements for several therapeutic applications. This study evaluated the combined effect of both the herbs as an antioxidative and antihyperlipidemic agent.MethodsAntihyperlipidemic effect was assessed in a high‐fat diet‐induced hyperlipidemic model in Wistar albino rats. The rats were treated orally with extracts of bashok (J adhatoda, 200 mg/kg bw), tulshi (O tenuiflorum, 200 mg/kg bw), and a combination of bashok and tulshi (50:50), as well as with a reference drug, atorvastatin (10 mg/kg/day), with or without high‐fat diet for 14 days. The antioxidative effect was studied using established in vitro models. The studies were supported by experimentally testing the effects of the extracts on membrane stabilization and inhibition of protein denaturation.ResultsThe results showed that the serum lipid profile was significantly decreased in the different treatment groups, with bashok having the greatest effect. Body weights, total serum protein, LDH, and relative liver and adipose tissue weights were markedly restored towards baseline values, the lowest atherogenic index being achieved with the combined extract. The combination treatment significantly enhanced total phenolic content and antioxidative capacity and greatly potentiated membrane stabilization, but inhibition of protein denaturation was not significantly affected.ConclusionThe data demonstrate that a combination of Justicia adhatoda and Ocimum tenuiflorum could be developed as a food supplement with antioxidative and antihyperlipidemic benefits.

Published: April 2020

AbstractA hybrid palladium catalyst assembled from a chiral phosphoric acid (CPA) and thioamide enables a highly efficient and enantioselective β‐C(sp3)−H functionalization of thioamides (up to 99 % yield, 97 % ee). A kinetic resolution of unsymmetrical thioamides by intermolecular C(sp3)−H arylation can be achieved with high s‐factors. Mechanistic investigations have revealed that stereocontrol is achieved by embedding the substrate in a robust chiral cavity defined by the bulky CPA and a neutral thioamide ligand.

Published: April 2020

AbstractRedox active metalloenzymes catalyse a range of biochemical processes essential for life. However, due to their complex reaction mechanisms, and often, their poor optical signals, detailed mechanistic understandings of them are limited. Here, we develop a cryoreduction approach coupled to electron paramagnetic resonance measurements to study electron transfer between the copper centers in the copper nitrite reductase (CuNiR) family of enzymes. Unlike alternative methods used to study electron transfer reactions, the cryoreduction approach presented here allows observation of the redox state of both metal centers, a direct read‐out of electron transfer, determines the presence of the substrate/product in the active site and shows the importance of protein motion in inter‐copper electron transfer catalyzed by CuNiRs. Cryoreduction‐EPR is broadly applicable for the study of electron transfer in other redox enzymes and paves the way to explore transient states in multiple redox‐center containing proteins (homo and hetero metal ions).

Published: April 2020

AbstractA novel strategy to prepare methanol from formic acid without an external reductant is presented. The overall process described herein consists of the disproportionation of silyl formates to methoxysilanes, catalyzed by ruthenium complexes, and the production of methanol by simple hydrolysis. Aqueous solutions of MeOH (>1 mL, >70 % yield) were prepared in this manner. The sustainability of the reaction has been established by recycling of the silicon‐containing by‐products with inexpensive, readily available, and environmentally benign reagents.
