Investigating low data consistency in work planning processes – causes, measures, and opportunities
Authors: Dausch Valesko , Langner Christopher , Roth Daniel , Kreimeyer Matthias , Guertler Matthias R. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractDigital transformation increases the need for interdisciplinary collaboration along the product lifecycle. It is currently hindered by a low data consistency resulting from the use of heterogeneous systems and data models. Especially in work planning, where several data models are combined, this decreases efficiency. Systems Lifecycle management (SysLM) offers a solution to this remedy. However, a sudden switch to SysLM is not possible in brownfields. Thus, it is necessary to examine the challenges and opportunities to derive case-specific measures that enable its adoption in work planning.
Exploring the barriers to innovation adoption in the UK construction industry
Authors: White K-M , Clarkson P. John 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe UK construction industry is an important aspect of the UK economy; however, it is struggling to keep pace with wider economic growth and if it does not change it will not be able to keep up with demand. There is a gap between academia and practice, and little understanding of how to successfully innovate within the industry. Following a workshop with 25 construction industry professionals on the barriers to innovation in the construction industry, key themes were developed through thematic analysis including regulation, fragmentation and constant change.
Product changes from various viewpoints along the product lifecycle – an empirical study
Authors: Beibl Julia , Krause Dieter 
Published: May 2024

AbstractFrom an economic perspective, the appeal of a product diminishes over time. However, volatile markets and divergent technological advancements make it challenging to anticipate when and to what extent changes will be necessary. Therefore, it is important to be able to integrate changes after a product's launch. This paper provides an overview of different perspectives on the product lifecycle. In addition, the paper presents an empirical study on implementing changes at an automobile manufacturer.
AI-based analysis and linking of technical and organisational data using graph models as a basis for decision-making in systems engineering
Authors: Katzung Sebastian , Cinkaya Hüseyin , Kizgin Umut Volkan , Savinov Alexander , Baschin Julian , Vietor Thomas 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe increased complexity of development projects surpass the capabilities of existing methods. While Model Based Systems Engineering pursues technically holistic approaches to realize complex products, aspects of organization as well as risk management, are still considered separately. The identification and management of risks are crucial in order to take suitable measures to minimize adverse effects on the project or the organization. To counter this, a new graph-based method and tool using AI, tailored to the needs of complex development projects and organizations is introduced here.

Engineering design education at German universities: potential for a common basis to create personalized e-learning content
Authors: Kossack Frederike , Bender Beate 
Published: May 2024

AbstractE-learning materials require a high initial development effort but can then be used by a large number of students with little effort. It therefore seems reasonable to develop and use these across universities. Particularly in the field of Engineering Design Education, standardized principles through norms and guidelines lead to a high degree of transferability. For the development of such e-learning offers, however, the context of application must be identified. As a fundament for the development, this publication analyzes Engineering Design Education in Germany.

Authors: Sutton Meredith , Daniels Julia , Masoudi Nafiseh , Gorsich David , Turner Cameron 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper discusses approaches for tradespace analysis, exploration, and visualization to address multi-objective decision-making. Next, computational tools for early-stage tradespace analysis to enhance programmatic decision-making are introduced via a vehicle design example to demonstrate the effectiveness and capability of the method. Using a smaller sample of technologies in this problem a synthetic tradespace spans the space of potential and available solutions and provides an opportunity for design engineers to develop an insight into possible technologies and solutions within the tradespace.
Weak tie interactions in networking: five types of interaction structures
Authors: Nightingall Georgina , Baxter Weston 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWeak ties contribute to an individual's happiness, health and career, yet networking events supporting weak ties are often considered ineffective and unenjoyable. More support is needed to aid the design of these experiences. This inductive qualitative study explores how weak tie interactions occurred in a 3-day event for a professional networking community. Data was collected from multiple behavioural settings through direct observation, semi-structured interviews and archival data. Results highlight five structures underpinning weak tie interactions and associated implications for design.
Feedback thought at the intersection of systems and design science
Authors: de Oliveira Igor Czermainski , Guzzo Daniel , Pigosso Daniela C. A. 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis paper explores the interplay of feedback principles in design and systems science. From their roots in engineering, biology, and economics, it investigates intersections between design, cybernetics and servomechanisms. The synthesis emphasizes the need for considering feedback in anticipating unintended consequences and proposes an integrative view reconciling fundamental assumptions from the different fields through simulation. This holistic approach underscores the pivotal role of feedback in understanding and addressing complex phenomena, such as rebound effects, in design science.

Authors: Beibl Julia , Zumach Katharina , Wehrend Sven , Züfle Marc , Hein Eugen , Plaumann Benedikt , Krause Dieter 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWhen designing battery packs, opposing target-conflicts and design goals arise due to the different disciplines involved in the development process. Looking at the available technologies for battery pack design, different solutions can be found on the market. The development of a battery pack for use in various scenarios therefore presents an interesting use case to evaluate product modularisation approaches. Hence, this paper discusses the application of the Integrated PKT Approach based on a fictious use case of a modular battery pack to derive potential starting points for its improvement.
Learnings from developing a custom virtual assembly environment for mountability issues of cooling cabinets
Authors: Hackenberg Georg , Zehetner Christian 
Published: May 2024

AbstractVarious industries use computer simulation for verifying product properties in early phases of development. Traditionally, such properties include the stability of mechanical structures or the efficiency of aircraft turbines. More recently, research also focuses on the mountability of industrial products using virtual assembly. While research on virtual assembly already started in the mid-1990s, the applicability in different industries remains largely unclear today. To advance the state-of-the-art, in this paper we present learnings from developing a virtual assembly environment for cooling cabinets.
Enhancing the IFM framework based on a meta-analysis of other design methods
Authors: Krüger Merlin , Gericke Kilian , Zorn Stefan 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThe use of design methods across multiple design phases of the product development process often leads to inconsistency, the loss of transparency, and the rejection of design methods by practitioners. The authors of this work intend to develop a central modelling approach that supports consistency, based on the integrated function modelling (IFM) framework. Therefore, various design methods from the literature were examined for their techniques and content to identify indicators for supporting consistency. The results led to an enhancement of the IFM framework.

Authors: Bonde Julian Martinsson , Breimann Richard , Malmqvist Johan , Kirchner Eckhard , Isaksson Ola 
Published: May 2024

AbstractSoftware implementations of traditional engineering design methods can potentially enrich the original methods. A study was conducted to better understand how concept generation can be facilitated using software. Participants of the study were asked to generate concepts using either specialized software, or by using traditional means, for applying function-means modeling and morphological matrices. A concept concretization metric was used to evaluate the results, which indicated that there are both positive and negative aspects of performing concept generation using specialized software.

Decision making support for designers at the early design stage regarding narrowing down the range values of design variables
Authors: Shimada Yoshiyuki , Akutsu Daichi , Kodama Shinnosuke , Kondo Shuichi , Hiramatsu Shigeki , Fukui Seiji , Unesaki Hiroshi , Hatano Takashi , Aoyama Kazuhiro , Inoue Masato 
Published: May 2024

AbstractThis study presents a search method for a solution space that aligns with a designer's design intent. The proposed method uses multiobjective optimization to determine the size of the narrowed solution space and the weakness of the constraint relationships between the design variables. The suitability of the proposed method is tested by applying it to the design problem of an electric motor for an EV, aiming to provide designers with solution spaces that offer a high degree of freedom in the later design stages and that have weaker constraint relationships among the design variables.
Playing against the rules: a new perspective on the potential of games and play as convivial and critical tools for imagining futures
Authors: Meshcheryakova Anna O. , Hemmert Fabian 
Published: May 2024

AbstractIn recent years, we have observed an increased interest within the field of design research in both the concept of conviviality and playful approaches as a pathway to co-design and participation. While play is often associated with freedom of expression and creativity, the implication of rules and mechanics in games poses questions regarding the tension between player agency and designed gameplay. This paper aims to provide reflection on these topics through a lens of ‘critical play’ and presents a model to explore games’ potential as convivial tools for imagining collective futures.
Voicing or register in Jarai dialects? Implications for the reconstruction of Proto-Chamic and for registrogenesis
Authors: Brunelle Marc , Leb Ke , Tạ Thành Tấn , Đinh Lư Giang 
Published: May 2024

AbstractJarai is a Chamic language of Vietnam and Cambodia that is traditionally described as preserving the original Austronesian voicing contrast in onset obstruents. However, there is anecdotal evidence that it has developed a register contrast, i.e. a binary contrast based on a bundle of spectral properties like pitch, voice quality and vowel quality. We conducted production and perception experiments of the voicing/register contrast in two Jarai varieties spoken in Saom Kaning, Cambodia, and Ea Sup, Vietnam, to determine if they preserve voicing and/or have developed a register contrast. Results show that both dialects have a register contrast primarily based on vowel height modulations (F1) and that onset voicing has become at best an optional secondary property of register. F1 is also the primary cue used for register identification in both dialects. Implications for the diachronic development of the register contrast in Chamic languages and in Mainland Southeast Asia in general are discussed.
Perceiving welfare state sustainability: fiscal costs, group deservingness, or ideology?
Authors: Kumlin Staffan , Nemčok Miroslav 
Published: May 2024

AbstractWhat shapes citizens’ perceptions of long-term welfare state sustainability? Past work hints at three explanations: information about fiscal pressure, deservingness views of recipient groups, and left-right ideology. We consider all three in an experiment exposing people to information about fiscal costs and/or low deservingness in the labor market domain. Left-right ideology functions as a moderator. Unlike past work, which has concentrated on demographic pressures, information about fiscal costs does not generate worries about sustainability (separately or combined with deservingness cues). Rather, left-right ideology moderates reactions. People on the left seem to question and counterargue against fiscal pressure, such that when facing negative information, they develop more positive sustainability views. This counter-reaction coexists with statistically insignificant effects in the negative direction among people on the right. These ideological contingencies arise without partisan cues, suggesting that welfare state pressure itself is ideologically controversial in the labor market domain.
Shifting goalposts: widening discrepancies between girls’ actual and ideal bodies predict disordered eating from preadolescence to adulthood
Authors: Magel Chantelle A. , Lacroix Emilie , Wilson Sylia , Iacono William G. , von Ranson Kristin M. 
Published: May 2024

Abstract

Background:
Little is known regarding how disordered eating (DE) relates to perceived actual body size, ideal body size, and their discrepancy. This study examined changes in perceived actual body size, ideal body size, and actual-ideal discrepancies over time, and their relationship with subsequent DE.

Methods:
Participants were 759 female twins from the Minnesota Twin Family Study who reported on body image and DE every three to five years between approximately ages 11 to 29. We used multilevel modeling to examine developmental trajectories of body mass index (BMI) and Body Rating Scale Actual, Ideal, and Actual-Ideal discrepancy scores and compared the degree to which BMI, BRS body size perceptions, and body dissatisfaction predicted DE behaviors and attitudes over time. Participants were treated as singletons in analyses.

Results:
Perceived Actual body sizes and BMIs increased from age 10 to 33, whereas Ideal body sizes remained largely stable across time, resulting in growing Actual-Ideal discrepancies. Body size perceptions and Actual–Ideal discrepancies predicted subsequent DE behaviors and attitudes more strongly than did body dissatisfaction as measured by self-report questionnaires.

Conclusions:
This research advances understanding of how female body size perceptions and ideals change across development and highlights their relationship with subsequent DE.
Binary pattern retrieval with Kuramoto-type oscillators via a least orthogonal lift of three patterns
Authors: Zhao Xiaoxue , Li Zhuchun 
Published: May 2024

Abstract
Given a set of standard binary patterns and a defective pattern, the pattern retrieval task is to find the closest pattern to the defective one among these standard patterns. The Hebbian network of Kuramoto oscillators with second-order coupling provides a dynamical model for this task, and the mutual orthogonality in memorised patterns enables us to distinguish these memorised patterns from most others in terms of stability. For the sake of error-free retrieval for general problems lacking orthogonality, a unified approach was proposed which transforms the problem into a series of subproblems with orthogonality using the orthogonal lift for two patterns. In this work, we propose the least orthogonal lift for three patterns, which evidently reduces the time of solving subproblems and even the dimensions of subproblems. Furthermore, we provide an estimate for the critical strength for stability/instability of binary patterns, which is convenient in practical use. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

John Stuart Mill on the Suez Canal and the limits of self-defence
Authors: Beaumont Tim 
Published: May 2024

AbstractMichael Walzer's use of John Stuart Mill's A Few Words on Non-Intervention (1859) helped to inaugurate it as a canonical text of international theory. However, Walzer's use of the text was highly selective because he viewed the first half as a historically parochial discussion of British foreign policy, and his interest in the second was restricted to the passages in which Mill proposes principles of international morality to govern foreign military interventions to protect third parties. As a result, theorists tend to see those canonized passages as if through a glass darkly. Attention to the detail and context of Mill's first-half critique of Lord Palmerston's opposition to the Suez Canal project reveals that his discussion of purely protective intervention is embedded in a broader exploration of the limits of self-defence, including the moral permissibility of preventive military force and the use of protective interventions for defensive purposes. Moreover, reading the text holistically facilitates a refutation of some objections directed at it by Michael Doyle to the effect that Mill's conception of self-defence incorporates elements of aggression which makes it extremely dangerous when adapted for application to the contemporary world.
Integrated management of cheat (Bromus secalinus L.) and downy brome (Bromus tectorum L.) in Oklahoma grain-only winter wheat

Published: May 2024

Abstract
In Oklahoma, downy brome and cheat are difficult-to-control winter annual grasses. In the past, cheat infested most of the winter wheat hectares harvested in Oklahoma. Biotypes that are cross-resistant to acetolactate synthase–inhibiting herbicides have left growers with minimal management options for conventional and herbicide-tolerant systems. Field trials near Lahoma, Oklahoma, in 2019–2020 and 2020–2021 evaluated integrated management of cheat and downy brome using three strategies: planting date (optimal, delayed, and late), cultivar selection (high and low competitiveness), and herbicide choice (no herbicide, sulfosulfuron at 35.2 g ai ha−1 and pyroxsulam at 18.4 g ai ha−1). Visual control, weed species present, wheat biomass at heading, and grain yield data were collected. In 2019–2020, 8 to 9 wk after treatment, visual control increased by 15% with the delayed planting compared with the optimal planting date and 14% with the late planting date. In 2020–2021, similar control (∼99%) was recorded for delayed and late plantings with 23% greater control than the optimal timing. Due to a lack of weed coverage, weed biomass in 2019–2020 had no response to planting date, cultivar, or herbicide treatment. Downy brome biomass during 2020–2021 was approximately 90% lower with delayed to late planting dates than the optimal planting date. In the same year, downy brome and cheat biomass were low (≤0.4 and 0.2 g m−2) and 98% less after an herbicide application than a nontreated area. Wheat grain yield at the optimal planting date was greater than yields from delayed and late plantings in 2019–2020. A delay in planting from the optimal date to delayed or late timings decreased wheat yield by 14% and 21%, respectively. In 2020–2021, wheat yield from the late planting was reduced by 57% compared with the optimal planting yield. Delaying the planting date and the use of a common herbicide can suppress cheat and downy brome, but a decline in wheat yield may occur.

Authors: Wilke Jessica 
Published: May 2024

Zusammenfassung: Theoretischer Hintergrund: Die Bedeutung der Selbstregulation für die Entwicklung von Kindern wird intensiv diskutiert. Die Rolle der Selbstregulation für die Moral ist jedoch ungeklärt. Fragestellung: Ziel ist, der Frage nach Zusammenhängen zwischen verschiedenen Aspekten der Selbstregulation (temperamentsbezogene Selbstregulation, exekutive Funktionen und Emotionsregulation) und der Moral (moralisches Selbst und Urteil) bei Kindern in der mittleren Kindheit nachzugehen und zu analysieren, welche dieser Selbstregulationsaspekte in einem integrativen Modell den stärksten Zusammenhang mit der moralischen Entwicklung zeigen. Methode: 348 Kinder (5 – 11 Jahre) nahmen an der Querschnittsstudie teil. Verschiedene Selbstregulationsaspekte (exekutive Funktionen, Temperament, Emotionsregulation) wurden als Prädiktoren für Moral in einem Strukturgleichungsmodell analysiert. Ergebnisse: Emotionsregulation hatte den stärksten Effekt auf Moral, gefolgt von Impulsivität, dem Arbeitsgedächtnis und der Inhibitionskontrolle. Risikobereitschaft zeigte keine signifikanten Assoziationen mit der Moral. Diskussion und Schlussfolgerung: Selbstregulation zeigte Zusammenhänge mit der Moral von Kindern. Die Förderung der Selbstregulation für die Moralentwicklung sollte in Praxis und Forschung fokussiert werden.
