Tracking Logs with RGB Images within the Wood Supply Chain: A Preliminary Study on Image Acquisition
Authors: Charwat-Pessler J. , Schraml R. , Entacher K. , Petutschnigg A. 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
In addition to the fact that actions have been taken by the European Union and the World Bank to impede illegal logging worldwide, full traceability of logs would also be of benefit to the timber industry and market participants. Therefore, in this study, basic conditions for RGB image acquisition are derived for tracking roundwood by means of biometric features on log end faces within the wood supply chain from stump to sawmill. For this purpose, 24 logs were initially photographed in the forest after felling and photographed a second time 8 weeks later in the sawmill. Difficulties in image acquisition were analyzed qualitatively as well as quantitatively by comparing the images made in the forest with those made in the sawmill. The quantitative evaluation was carried out using different measures that are well established with respect to digital image processing. Tracking efforts solely by means of these measures turned out to be unsuitable. However, the shape measures performed best and are assumed to be supportive in combination with other methods. Therewith, conditions for a practical implementation in the future can be deduced.
Exploring the role of mindset in design thinking: Implications for capability development and practice
Authors: Howard Zaana , Senova Melis , Melles Gavin 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Design thinking continues to be an emergent field as it pertains to business. In building design thinking capability in organizations the current focus is on design skills and tools, rather than mindset. This imbalance toward design process, methods and tools is also present within design thinking and design research literature. Mindset is little acknowledged. The purpose of this article is to investigate and articulate the role of mindset within design thinking capability and practice. Mindset is the perspective that informs how a person approaches and interacts in the world (Nelson and Stolterman, 2013). Where mindset is acknowledged as a critical underpinning for design thinking in the literature, it is usually presented as a guiding principle for design doing. There is little insight into what the different mindsets are, how to develop or enact them or how mindset impacts on practice. Mindset remains underexplored in discussions of design competency and maturity.
By analysing qualitative data collected across three studies of a doctoral research project exploring the composition of design thinking in practice, two mindsets emerged. These were: design thinking as a way of work and design thinking as a way of life. Design thinking as a way of work is focused on the process of design thinking with the primary purpose of designing for outputs and innovation. Design thinking as a way of life is a holistic view of design thinking where the focus is on designing for transformation and creating positive change. These mindsets are scalable, applicable to an individual or organization. The two mindsets, when mapped against competencies in design knowledge, skills and tools, contribute a framework to explore maturity in design thinking. Understanding the maturity framework, and the role of mindset within it, has implications for how an individual and organization can build capability in design thinking and maximize outcomes in the environment in which they are designing.
Service design integration with business development: Six Finnish case studies of digital service development
Authors: Rytilahti Piia , Rontti Simo , Miettinen Satu 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
As a complex ecosystem, the global digital environment includes actors and stakeholders with diverse values and distinct mindsets. In this research, we examine the digital ecosystem in the Finnish context of a business-led research and development (R&D) consortia (Need for Speed [N4S]), focusing on the early phases of research. The aim is to propose an iterative action research and case study framework for developing the Finnish digital business ecosystem with the use of service design thinking and tools.
Service design is the methodology and process of enabling co-creation activities during all steps of the design process, concept generation and prototyping before the launch of a service. The theoretical framework utilized in this research is cultural-historical activity theory (CHAT), which suggests the starting point for a more practical strategic tool.
Theory-based data analysis is applied to data on design methods used in service design cases with six companies, including co-creation workshops, reflective interviews, observation, visual documentation and rough service prototyping. The company cases were conducted by the Service Innovation Corner (SINCO) laboratory at the University of Lapland in 2013 and 2014. Two case companies operate in the customer service field in tourism, two in manufacturing and two in the software industry.

Published: August 2015

<p>The aim of this study was to examine the attitudes level towards leisure activities of adolescents and to compare the participants' attitudes levels according to some variables. 610 (N<sub>male</sub>= 333; M<sub>age</sub>= 15.80, SD= 1.14 and N<sub>female</sub>= 277; M<sub>age</sub>= 15.66, SD= 1.01) adolescents enrolled in this study from different high schools in Turkey. The Leisure Attitude Scale (LAS) (Ragheb and Beard, 1982) was administered on the participants. Cognitive, affective and behavioral items (12 per type) were rated on a five-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistical methods and MANOVA were used to compare the differential scores of the three sub-scales of the T-LAS among the demographic variables. Correlation analysis was used to test the relationship between T-LAS sub-scales and age. The cognitive sub-scale scores were the highest toward leisure. MANOVA analysis indicated no significant mean differences in all three sub-scales with regard to gender. However, there were no significant main effect of participation in physical activity on “T-LAS” scores; a follow-up univariate analysis indicated significant main effects for participation in physical activity on the sub-scales of “Cognitive”, “Affective”, “Behavioral”. Participants groups had higher mean attitude scores than the non-participants in all sub-scales of T-LAS. Additionally, MANOVA indicated significant main effect of school type on “T-LAS” scores, in tests between subject effects by school type, results also revealed a significant differences in the “Cognitive”, “Affective”, “Behavioral” sub-scales. Private high schools’ students had higher scores than the others. Overall, the girl participants had lower attitudes toward leisure than the boys. While the highest leisure attitudes mean score in affective sub-scale, cognitive subscale is the lowest score.</p>
Religious History of the Gaṇḍī Beam: Testimonies of Texts, Images and Ritual Practices
Authors: Sobkovyak Ekaterina 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
The gaṇḍī beam is a monastic tool which was already known to have been used in Buddhist monasteries in ancient India for the purpose of calling the monks to gather for a joint activity. With the spread of Buddhism the instrument was transmitted to the Tibetan and later Mongolian Buddhist cultures. It has been in use in the Tibetan and Mongolian Buddhist monastic traditions till the present day. One of the most prominent cases of the gaṇḍī beam application in modern Mongolia relates to the poṣadha ritual. In this article I attempt to present the history of the gaṇḍī beam within the framework of material culture studies. The analysis aims at the investigation of the mutual relations between the artefact and the societies that have made use of it as well as of the ways in which these relations could have changed. In order to accomplish this task I study the testimonies of the original Sanskrit and Tibetan texts, religious images and accounts of ritual practices.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
Since the early 2000s the Mongolian Buddhist masked ritual dance, in the Khalkh-Mongolian language called Tsam, has been re-introduced to the Mongolian religious field. Nowadays a couple of Buddhist monasteries in Mongolia perform the Tsam once a year. This paper examines the Mongolian masked dance in its historical and contemporary aspects, with a special focus on the Khüree Tsam. It provides an overview of the Tibetan history of the masked ritual dance and its historical Mongolian developments, as well as an ethnographic study of the 2009 performance of the Khüree Tsam in Dashchoilin monastery of Ulaanbaatar. Whereas the historical part of this paper draws on Tibetan and Mongolian dance manuals and chronicles, the ethnographic part is methodologically based on participant observation, expert and semi-structured interviews. Finally, the paper discusses the changes and adaptations the Khüree Tsam underwent within and outside the monastic context in today’s Mongolia.

Published: August 2015

AbstractDC stray current has a great influence on the corrosion of buried pipelines. In this article, first, we deduce the equation of DC stray current interference on pipeline and determine the corresponding boundary conditions. Second, we discretize the mathematical model with boundary element method. Third, the numerical simulation software BEASY is applied to study the interference corrosion of cathodic protection system. Five types of cathodic protection (CP) interference are considered, namely, anodic, cathodic, combined, induced, and joint interference. Moreover, the effects of different parameters on the degree of the CP interference are investigated. The results show that the degree of interference will decrease with the increase of soil conductivity; smaller coating damage rate will make interference more concentrated; anode parameters have a significant impact on anodic interference but have almost no effect on cathodic interference; for combined, induced, and joint interference, the likelihood for corrosion occurrence will be high at the current outflow point on pipeline.

Authors: Bartholomäus Alexander , Del Campo Cristian , Ignatova Zoya 
Published: August 2015

Abstract
Ribosome profiling is a new emerging technology that uses massively parallel amplification of ribosome-protected fragments and next-generation sequencing to monitor translation in vivo with codon resolution. Studies using this approach provide insightful views on the regulation of translation on a global cell-wide level. In this review, we compare different experimental set-ups and current protocols for sequencing data analysis. Specifically, we review the pitfalls at some experimental steps and highlight the importance of standardized protocol for sample preparation and data processing pipeline, at least for mapping and normalization.

In the 44 years following the signing of the National Cancer Act of 1971, multiple genetic and environmental factors have been identified as initiators of the disease. Considerable progress has been made in the treatment and detection of many forms of cancer, but despite this progress, it remains as the most lethal group of diseases worldwide (Stewart BW, Wild CP.
Schmerzfrei Leben?
Authors: Klein Rebekka A. 
Published: August 2015

ZusammenfassungDie spätmoderne Gesellschaft der Gegenwart kultiviert die Einstellung, dass ein lebenswertes Leben frei von Leid, Schmerz und anderen unvorhersehbaren Widerfahrnissen zu sein hat. Der Artikel diskutiert verschiedene Einwände gegen diese Form der Kultivierung des Lebens, die auf das in der Bioethik entwickelte Konzept der Verletzlichkeit des Menschen zurückgehen. Die Rede von Verletzlichkeit macht darauf aufmerksam, dass menschliches Leben durch Widerfahrnisse von Leid, Schmerz und Gewalt zutiefst affiziert wird und diese Widerfahrnisse nicht durch ein souveränes Selbst unterdrückt oder überwunden werden können. Dies ermöglicht es jedoch, eine Haltung der Sensibilität für eigene und fremde Verletzungen zu entwickeln. Ausgehend von dieser Einsicht fragt der Artikel, inwiefern Religion als eine Praxis des sensiblen Umgangs mit Verletzlichkeit verstanden werden kann. In der Diskussion von neueren Konzeptionen einer Theologie des Lebens (Tillich, Höfner / Thomas et al.) zeigt sich, dass diese das Phänomen der Verletzlichkeit nicht adressieren können, da sie an der Überzeugung festhalten, dass Verletzlichkeit ein Phänomen der Endlichkeit des Lebens ist und durch den Geist des Lebens (Gott) transzendiert und überwunden werden kann.
Light alkane dehydrogenation to light olefin technologies: a comprehensive review
Authors: Nawaz Zeeshan 
Published: August 2015

AbstractThe dehydrogenation of light alkanes, especially propane and butane, is widely exploited for the large-scale production of corresponding olefins. The industrial application of the direct dehydrogenation of light alkanes is limited due to reaction and thermodynamic constraints. The dehydrogenation of light hydrocarbons involves the breaking of two carbon–hydrogen bonds with the simultaneous formation of a hydrogen and carbon-carbon double bond selectively. It may appear to be simple, but their endothermic nature and selectivity control at higher temperature is difficult. The same technologies with minor changes in process and catalyst were used for the production of both propane and isobutane dehydrogenation. The economic analysis of the available technologies based on the specific consumption of feedstock, operational ease, and capital investment indicates an internal rate of return ~25%. The attractiveness of light alkane dehydrogenation is largely dependent on the difference in feedstock and the price of olefins produced. The available technologies and how they manage reaction constraints at commercial scale have been compared. The possible solution for improvement is by focusing on catalyst improvements and the unique design of reactors.

Published: August 2015

Abstract
The paper demonstrates how the reliability methods can be utilised in order to evaluate safety in geotechnics. Special attention is paid to the so-called reliability based design that can play a useful and complementary role to Eurocode 7. In the first part, a brief review of first- and second-order reliability methods is given. Next, two examples of reliability-based design are demonstrated. The first one is focussed on bearing capacity calculation and is dedicated to comparison with EC7 requirements. The second one analyses a rigid pile subjected to lateral load and is oriented towards working stress design method. In the second part, applications of random field to safety evaluations in geotechnics are addressed. After a short review of the theory a Random Finite Element algorithm to reliability based design of shallow strip foundation is given. Finally, two illustrative examples for cohesive and cohesionless soils are demonstrated.

Published: August 2015

AbstractTurbine blades are one of the key components in a typical turbofan engine, which plays an important role in flight safety. In this paper, we establish a establishes a three-dimensional finite element model of the turbine blades, then analyses the strength of the blade in complicated conditions under the joint function of temperature load, centrifugal load, and aerodynamic load. Furthermore, contact analysis of blade tenon and dovetail slot is also carried out to study the stress based on the contact elements. Finally, the Von Mises stress-strain distributions are obtained to acquire the several dangerous points and maximum Von Mises stress, which provide the basis for life prediction of turbine blade.
Synthesis of CuInS2-ZnS Alloyed Nanorods and Hybrid Nanostructures
Authors: Li Jie , Parisi Jürgen , Kolny-Olesiak Joanna 
Published: August 2015

ABSTRACTAlloyed nanorods and hybrid nanostructures composed of CuInS2and ZnS were synthesized by heating-up and hot-injection procedures. The synthesis starts with the formation of copper sulfide seeds, which are subsequently converted to copper sulfide – copper indium zinc sulfide hybrid nanostructures, by incorporation of indium and zinc ions. The fraction of ZnS within the alloyed material could be controlled by the amount of the Zn precursor in the reaction solution. In reactions with higher zinc precursor concentrations, at longer reaction times L-shaped hybrid nanostructures are formed of CuInS2-ZnS alloy and ZnS. An additional injection of the Zn-precursor into the reaction solution results in the formation of U-shaped hybrid nanostructures.

Published: August 2015

Este artículo hace una revisión bibliográfica de los sistemas de gestión decontenidos (CMS) desde sus inicios, cuando se centraban en gestionar la información departamental, hasta abarcar toda la organización, donde se puede hablar de gestión de contenidos empresariales (ECM) enfocados en el aprendizaje organizacional y la gestión del conocimiento. Se presenta un modelo con cuatro dimensiones para un mejor entendimiento de las implicaciones de este tipo de proyectos, contrastando los problemas encontrados en cada dimensión con las mejores prácticas en la implementación de CMS propuestas por diversos autores. Finalmente, se enfatiza que es crítico tener en cuenta no solo la tecnología y el contenido, sino también los procesos y la empresa en la cual la solución es implantada, para tener una visión holística de las dimensiones y asegurar que no se escape ningún detalle para maximizar las probabilidades de éxito de dicho proyecto.

Эл. адрес: ivaniushina@hse.spb.ru Представлены результаты первого в России масштабного исследования адаптации детей из семей мигрантов в школах. На основании результатов анализа эмпирического материала обсуждаются вопросы этнической и социальной дифференциации школ, взаимодействия родителей со школой, отношения учителей к иноэтничным ученикам, межэтнического общения школьников.Установлено, что распределение детей по школам в большей степени определяется их социальным положением, чем этническим происхождением. Подтверждены данные американских социологов о том, что существует позитивный отбор мигрантов и что для мигрантов первого поколения характерен так называемый иммигрантский оптимизм. Предполагается, что в России этот эффект обусловлен недавним началом массовой миграции, в связи с чем может быть утрачен в следующем поколении.С использованием метода многоуровневой регрессии продемонстрировано влияние миграционного и этнического статуса на успеваемость. Показано, что дети-мигранты, принадлежащие к этническим меньшинствам, обладают высокой учебной мотивацией и их образовательные результаты не уступают достижениям их местных сверстников в этих же школах, а образовательные планы иноэтничных мигрантов не отличаются от таковых этнического большинства. Результаты анализа сетей общения в классах свидетельствуют об отсутствии в школах дискриминации представителей этнических меньшинств со стороны этнического большинства вопреки существующим в российском обществе националистическим настроениям.Определены перспективы продолжения исследования с точки зрения долгосрочных социальных прогнозов.
Семейный капитал как фактор образовательных возможностей российских школьников

Published: August 2015

Рощина Яна Михайловна — кандидат экономических наук, доцент, ведущий научный сотрудник Центра лонгитюдных исследований НИУ ВШЭ. Эл. адрес: yroshchina@mail.ru Оценивается влияние разных видов семейного капитала, индивидуальных характеристик молодых людей, а также типа школы на образовательные возможности учащихся 9-х классов, в том числе на их намерение получить высшее образование. Эмпирической основой исследования послужили данные первого этапа лонгитюдного проекта «Мониторинг образовательных и трудовых траекторий выпускников школ и вузов», начатого в 2010 г. в НИУ ВШЭ с целью исследования образовательных и профессиональных траекторий российских школьников на протяжении нескольких лет.Обнаружена взаимосвязь объема семейного капитала с типом школы, в которой обучается подросток. Наиболее высокий уровень семейного капитала выявлен в семьях учащихся специализированных школ и гимназий. Подчеркивается, что неравенство в ресурсах семей усугубляют территориальные различия в образовательных возможностях.Показано, что факторы семейного капитала в целом оказывают влияние на образовательные возможности школьников, однако сильнее оно проявляется в уже имеющихся достижениях и инвестициях в человеческий капитал. А образовательные намерения зависят в большей степени от типа школы, успеваемости, дополнительных занятий, а также характера ребенка и его собственных усилий, чем от объема семейного капитала.Отмечается, что отсутствие значимого влияния факторов семейного капитала на образовательные намерения детей противоречит ряду результатов, полученных в предыдущих исследованиях. Предполагается, что это связано с высоким уровнем неопределенности планов девятиклассников.
