Transdisciplinarity in Japanese business communication
Authors: Fujio Misa 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Transdisciplinary collaboration has become one of the most important agendas in the field of Applied Linguistics and professional communication. Investigation into transdisciplinary collaboration has been conducted at the interface of both fields through knowledge transformation and multimethod action research. In Japan, however, investigation into transdisciplinary collaboration or transdisciplinarity still holds great potential for development. As the first step to investigate transdisciplinary collaboration, the author conducted in-depth interviews with eight Japanese business professionals who are also engaged in academic collaboration. The purpose of this study is to understand the challenges and opportunities they are currently facing in transdisciplinary collaboration and to identify shared goals that both applied linguists (academics) and business professionals can explore by focusing on shared language and knowledge transformation in business practice. The whole interview data were analysed using the Modified Grounded Theory Approach (M-GTA) (Kinoshita, 2003), in which nine basic concepts were obtained in the Open Coding Stage. These were then categorised into four larger groups in the Selective Coding Stage: (1) the current barriers for transdisciplinarity, (2) integration of theory and practice, (3) sensitivity to common ground, and (4) contribution to Japanese society. After presenting these concepts, the construction of shared language as a theme of collaboration is highlighted in the Discussion section.
An invisible operational mortar
Authors: McKenna Christopher J. 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The contribution seeks to apply the principles of J. L. Austin’s speech-act theories to the study of local business segregation in the Jim Crow South. In particular, it borrows the notions of illocutionary and perlocutionary force when examining the seemingly bland and prosaic statements that are often used to normalise segregation within the business of commercial entertainment. For purposes of expanding the complexity of typical Manichaean (i.e., Black vs White) ethnic studies, this analysis was developed within the context of tri-racial segregation as applied to rural moviegoing within Robeson County, North Carolina during the first half of the twentieth century. Notably, the development of Robeson’s historical cinema-exhibition spaces eventually resulted in a highly unusual venue – i.e., the three-entrance theatre – whose physical architecture reflected tensions between local ethnic demographics and desired social hierarchies. Yet even in the face of these unusual physical constructs, this study contends that seemingly everyday objective/descriptive and non-demonising language remained an essential component in enforcing segregation.
Language workers and the challenge of digitalisation
Authors: Breunig Steven 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The increasing digitalisation of communication has not gone unnoticed by the US military. The teaching of communication takes place at the Defense Information School (DINFOS), providing professional instruction to US military members, civilian personnel and allies from around the world. With the emergence of social media and the increasing significance of user-generated content, the teaching of communication, even more so than previously, prioritises the collaboration of academic researchers, practitioners and industry leaders in digitalised media for professional development. Viewing the collaboration as an example of transdisciplinary practice (McGregor, 2014), this paper seeks to gain insight into their thoughts on social media messaging and management for developing themes (Perrin & Kramsch, 2018) for research and practice, as well as for teaching language learners to be language workers (Koller, 2018) in a digitalised mediated world. The analysis of the social media workshop from 2017 is inspired by content analysis (Krippendorff, 2004). Through the analysis, the themes of “Community”, “Content” and “Conduct” are created based on a series of 23 lectures for practitioners by senior officers, academic researchers and persons from social media companies like Twitter and Instagram. The analysis shows, among other things, that the technological dimension of social media may constrain and enable language use in unpredictable ways. For research, practice and learning, the themes may function as a “shared language” for more effective language use towards the increasing digitalisation of communication. The paper concludes by reflecting on two concerns within transdisciplinarity, specifically transdisciplinary identity (Augsburg, 2014) and the link between process and impact (Hansson & Polk, 2018).
No to Plastic in Eco-Sensitive Valley through Art
Authors: Barnwal Monika , Kumar Vijay 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The Spiti Valley, India, has been suffering from solid waste littering at an alarming rate, which is disrupting its environment. The cry to adopt sustainable and responsible travelling has brought social media influencers, an artist and a non-governmental organization (NGO) together to come up with a unique idea to motivate people not to discard plastic in Spiti Valley through visual art. This collaboration led to the launching of a plastic-free campaign in 2017 which brought together inspiration from related stakeholders who aim to offer or practise responsible travel and tourism.

Development of a Novel DEMO divertor target: spiral plate module
Authors: Schwartz N R , Nicholas J R , Jackson Z J , Ireland P T 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
In DEMO, the divertor must endure steady state loads of 10 MW m−2 and transient thermal cycling up to 20 MW m−2. A novel divertor target, termed the Spiral Plate Module (SPM) and designed to meet these loads, was initially optimized by a one-dimensional, steady-state model. The best design was a trade-off between the wall overheat (τ

s
)—a figure of merit for cooling performanceand the pumping ratio (η

P
)—a comparison of the pressure drop and the incident heat flux on a target surface. A three-dimensional, steady-state, conjugate heat transfer study showed significant correlation to the one-dimensional model. Compared to other divertor target concepts, the SPM achieved the lowest wall overheat of any target design. The hydraulic performance was also on par with comparable designs, demonstrating a very low pumping ratio. This novel, modular divertor target could be used in future fusion power plants to effectively cool the plasma facing components with low pressure drop.

Abstract
The objective was to determine the reduction of sound pressure through acoustic barriers, knowing the factors that affect the propagation of its acoustic emission, the methodology was the quantitative design, explanatory level, pre-experimental type, pre and post-test, based on studies of behaviors of other barriers such as noise mitigating measures; Two sound level meters were used to measure noise, one of which served as a reference since the sound spectrum due to traffic has a varied behavior. The results obtained in the tests carried out in the field and office work, allowed us to corroborate the Equivalent Continuous Sound Pressure Level (LAeqT). We conclude that Calle Lima 1ra. block and 1st. block Av. Grau, exceeds the standard limits established in the S.D.N ° 085-2003-PCM Words.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
The discovery of an areally limited outcrop of blueschists in Huai Sak, near Ban Huai Lao, SE Nan Province in the early 1980s has not been followed up until now. This is despite these blueschists being used in many regional tectonic compilations as unequivocal evidence for the presence of a former subduction zone along the trend of the Nan river. We report additional structural information and mineral analyses for the Huai Sak blueschists and the discovery nearby, in Huai Phi Rong, of structurally similar schists containing the Na-Ca amphibole barroisite. In addition, we report the discovery in Huai Phi Rong of float samples, believed to be derived from a thrust sheet of serpentinite matrix melange, consisting of coarse schists and gneisses that contain a variety of blue amphiboles associated with garnet. EPMA analysis confirms these blue amphiboles to be variously riebeckite, glaucophane, winchite and barroisite.

Abstract
Renewable energy is emphasized globally due to its potential to contribute to economy and energy sustainable development, as well as mitigate the climate change. Developed and developing countries have set their sights on renewable energy as increasing exhaustion of the fossil energy and deterioration of environmental problem. This article focuses on concise summary and statistic of renewable energy resources potentials, including solar energy, wind energy, bioenergy, geothermal energy, and hydropower. Meanwhile, it provides the renewable energy development status of G8(US, UK, France, Germany, Italy, Canada, Japan, Russia) and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) countries. The result indicates that renewable energy resources are abundant, especially in China, the US and Russia. Each country has its own resources advantage. China has abundant renewable energy resources but still needs to accelerate renewable energy technology innovation. At last, suggestions are proposed for policy makers on renewable energy penetration.
Modularity Measurement as a Crucial Design Element
Authors: Modrak V , Soltysova Z 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This paper aims to explore the problem of measurement of assembly process modularity, and to offer a new approach to quantify the relative modularity of different assembly process models. Specifically, it seeks to resolve the problem of the relation between relative modularity measures and optimal modularity measures. This relation brings us more close to find an effective measure for determining whether the process network is optimally modular. In our approach, process modularity expresses the extent to which processes can be decomposed into modules to be executed in parallel, and/or in series. Moreover, it also considers important feature of modular systems - that the great majority of interactions occur within modules and only a few interactions occur between modules. Consequently, the effect of a change in a given module is confined to that module only. This advantage of modular design clearly corresponds with Axiomatic Design theory, especially with its first axiom.
Artificial Intelligence Tools for Better Use of Axiomatic Design
Authors: Akay Haluk , Kim Sang-Gook 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Axiomatic Design (AD) provides a powerful thinking framework for solving complex engineering problems through the concept of design domains and diligent mapping and decomposition between functional and physical domains. Despite this utility, AD is yet to be implemented for widespread use by design practitioners solving real world problems in industry and exists primarily in the realm of academia. This is due, in part, to a high level of design expertise and familiarity with its methodology required to apply the AD approach effectively. It is difficult to correctly identify, extract, and abstract top-level functional requirements (FRs) based on early-stage design research. Furthermore, guiding early-stage design by striving to maintain functional independence, the first Axiom, is difficult at a systems level without explicit methods of quantifying the relationship between high-level FRs and design parameters (DPs). To address these challenges, Artificial Intelligence (AI) methods, specifically in deep learning (DL) assisted Natural Language Processing (NLP), have been applied to represent design knowledge for machines to understand, and, following AD principles, support the practice of human designers. NLP-based question-answering is demonstrated to automate early-stage identification of FRs and to assist design decomposition by recursively mapping and traversing down along the FR-DP hierarchical structure. Functional coupling analysis could then be conducted with vectorized FRs and DPs from NLP-based language embeddings. This paper presents a framework for how AI can be applied to design based on the principles of AD, which will enable a virtual design assistant system based on both human and machine intelligence.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
There are different types of bushings used in mechanical equipment and they can be used for different purposes. In the case of bronze bushings used to ensure rotation conditions of shaft-type parts, there are some difficulties in addressing the problem of their manufacture. In essence, in order to meet the machining accuracy requirements specific to the outer and inner revolution surfaces, appropriate manufacturing technologies must be established. Some distinct technological paths can be considered for machining and checking the outer and inner cylindrical surfaces of bushings. In solving certain problems specific to the development of bushing manufacturing technologies, the principles of axiomatic design were used. Thus, the axiom of the independence of the functional requirements was used preferentially in establishing the machining operations to be applied to the workpieceto obtain a bushing. The second axiom was applied to identify the best solutions for the machining of the inner revolution surface. In this way, more convenient manufacturing technology for bronze bushings was identified.

Abstract
With the introduction of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (also known as Industry 4.0 or I4.0) the use of worker assistance systems gets more and more important. These assistance systems should support the worker to reduce both mental as well as physical stress and at the same time increase ergonomics. Besides the before mentioned positive aspects of assistance systems they can also support the inclusion of workers with limitations in the daily industrial production environment. In this paper, we apply Axiomatic design (AD) to systematically design a future operator’s workplace for older workers and workers with disabilities. Therefore, we conducted interviews with employers and physical and mental disabled people to identify the customer needs (CNs) and set constraints (Cs). In a next step, we defined the first level functional requirements (FRs) and the deduced corresponding design parameters (DPs). Following, the decomposition and mapping process and considering the independence and information axiom we designed a workplace equipped with worker assistance systems for better integrating elderly people and people with disabilities in manufacturing.
Robust Privacy Assessment in Transnational Healthcare Systems

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Recent developments in Information and Communication Technology have paved the foundations for new forms of collaboration between health systems in different countries. These collaborations allow, on the one hand, to monitor recurrent health emergencies on territories, and on the other hand, they allow national health systems to share information about foreign citizens in transit on their territory. European legislation regarding the processing of personal data places strict constraints on the cross-border transfer of personal data. In this case, companies or organizations, operating on information interchange, must adopt robust mechanisms to verify the adequacy requirements, in order to allow monitoring of security levels, identification of possible intervention actions and preparation of updated security plans for inspection visits required by European standards. In this context, Axiomatic Design allows not only to design medical systems and equipment in compliance with current regulations, but also to provide representations of the design artifact already prepared to implant privacy risk assessment mechanisms. This makes it possible to identify the activities/components to be assessed up to a level of elementary granularity such as to allow risk assessment for the single module. At the same time, the axiomatic approach enables the overall recomposition of privacy violation risks on the basis of a modular representation of the whole system according to the well-known V model scheme. This recomposition allows to build the so-called risk privacy coverage matrix, in order to trace the risk level of the elementary modules, associating them with more and more complex components. In this way, the foundations to build a dynamic monitoring system of the privacy risk level of the system can be defined.

Published: September 2021

Abstract
Additive manufacturing through Fused Filament Fabrication is one of the most spread methods for obtaining functional prototypes and components, mainly for single parts demands or small manufacturing lots. This direction of use presumes the use of engineering polymers in the manufacturing process, materials that require precise control of the environment regarding printing temperature and moisture. A Do-It-Yourself enclosure mock-up for engineering polymers processing was obtained using the Axiomatic Design principles. The enclosure is compatible with low-cost Fused Filament Fabrication desktop 3D printers and satisfies the functional requirements regarding manufacturing and secure usage of engineering-grade polymers. In addition, the presented design solved the requirements regarding surveillance and remote control during the manufacturing process.
Visual representation aid in engineering design process: From axiomatic design towards knowledge intelligence
Authors: Papachristopoulou M , Provatidis C , Markopoulos AP , Spitas V 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
The notion of function has been a key element in most of the design methodologies. Its definition has been controversial within the research community, with issues arising when methodologies rely solely on one universal strict definition. Axiomatic design relies on functional decomposition, which has as a perquisite the correct definition of the main function and subfunctions of a design problem. The inability of design methodologies to be incorporated into CAD and the absence of a systematic way to store precious knowledge occurring during the design process itself becomes a hurdle for true automation and intelligence in design. This paper proposes a visual representation process of the design problem, which verifies itself through relational graph representations and the physical laws governing the structure, where they are given valuable semantics. Knowledge can be inferred, stored and analysed with the scope of making engineering design more intelligent and potentially more automated.
Biphasic epoxy-ionic liquid structural electrolytes: minimising feature size through cure cycle and multifunctional block-copolymer addition
Authors: Wendong Quan , Dent John , Arrighi Valeria , Cavalcanti Leide , Shaffer Milo S P , Shirshova Natasha 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
Structural electrolytes provide mechanical properties approaching structural resin combined with a high degree of ionic conductivity. Here, structural electrolytes based on bisphenol A diglycidyl ether and the ionic liquid 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl) imide (EMIM-TFSI) were synthesised through reaction induced phase separation (RIPS) using isophorone diamine (iPDA) as a curing agent. The microstructure and properties of the resulting materials were controlled through both the initial formulations and the curing temperature. Curing at room temperature generated a bi-continuous structure and improved both mechanical performance and ionic conductivity of the resulting structural electrolytes. The balance between properties can be systematically adjusted; for example, a promising Young’s modulus of 800 MPa was obtained simultaneously with an ionic conductivity of 0.28 mS cm−1, for a formulation containing 35 vol% EMIM-TFSI. The lengthscale of the structural features was reduced by an order of magnitude by introducing multifunctional block-copolymers (MF-bcP) based on glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) and quaternised (2-dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA). Small angle neutron scattering (SANS), obtained during curing, identified at least two structural phases of different length scale, for the formulations containing MF-bcP, in agreement with microstructures observed using scanning electron microscopy. Such structural electrolytes may be required when using structural electrodes that also have finer characteristic lengthscales. The addition of the MF-bcP to formulations containing 35 vol% EMIM-TFSI produced structural electrolytes with a Young’s modulus of 530 MPa and an ionic conductivity of 0.64 mS cm−1.
We Are Stardust: In the Nonworld of Criticism Today
Authors: Davis Theo 
Published: September 2021

Abstract
This review essay discusses Rita Felski’s Hooked, John Brenkman’s Mood and Trope, and Sianne Ngai’s Theory of the Gimmick. It argues that contemporary criticism is marked by a form of wordlessness in which criticism is uncertain if it counts as a meaningful activity. This leads to a hunger for forms of reality in which criticism might ground itself, but also a haunting doubt about the validity or purchase of thinking and scholarship that can be traced to the specific institutional dissolutions of fields and disciplines. The review suggests that although we can see this era as one of innate, inevitable critical loss and crisis, there is a demystifying and a grounding orientation in focusing on the analysis of specific works rather than reifying our general sense of wordlessness.
