On a 1D-electrostatic test problem for the PIC method
Authors: Chizhonkov Eugene V. 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
A test problem for the ‘particle-in-cell’ method is proposed which allows one to check individual errors on each stage of numerical implementation of the method. General testing usually controls only total (final) error. Using the test problem, we analyze errors of a difference method of MacCormack type and the CIC method being the most popular version of the ‘particle-in-cell’ method. It is shown that the CIC method having also the second formal order of accuracy is seriously inferior to the difference method under the same given error and same grid parameters. In particular, the results of the particle method lose their sense after approximately one calculation period, although the time interval of confidence in simulation data for the difference method is practically unlimited. The testing method proposed here is suitable for an arbitrary one-dimensional version of the ‘particle-in-cell’ method, and it allows one not only to compare numerical implementations of individual stages with each other, but also to verify available theoretical results.

Published: February 2024

Abstract
Advanced numerical climate models are known to exhibit biases in simulating some features of El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO), which is a key mode of interannual climate variability. In this study we analyze how two fundamental features of observed ENSO – asymmetry between hot and cold states and phase-locking to the annual cycle – are reflected in two different versions of the INMCM Earth system model (state-of-the-art Earth system model participating in the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project). We identify the above ENSO features using the conventional empirical orthogonal functions (EOF) analysis, which is applied to both observed and simulated upper ocean heat content (OHC) data in the tropical Pacific. We obtain that the observed tropical Pacific OHC variability is described well by two leading EOF-modes, which roughly reflect the fundamental recharge-discharge mechanism of ENSO. These modes exhibit strong seasonal cycles associated with ENSO phase locking while the revealed nonlinear dependencies between amplitudes of these cycles reflect ENSO asymmetry.We also assess and compare the predictability of observed and simulated ENSO based on linear inverse modelling. We find that the improved INMCM6 model has significant benefits in simulating described features of observed ENSO as compared with the previous INMCM5 model. The improvements of the INMCM6 model providing such benefits are discussed. We argue that proper cloud parameterization scheme is crucial for accurate simulation of ENSO dynamics with numerical climate models.

Abstract
Designing the strategy, configuration and coordination of international manufacturing networks is a complex task, influenced by a variety of internal and external factors. Therefore, there is no one-size-fits-all approach for the design and management of international manufacturing networks, especially with the rising volatility of the last years. For this purpose, four different industrial use cases are presented to show topics in international manufacturing that companies are currently dealing with and how they are addressing them.
Strategic Manufacturing Network Performance Assessment Tool
Authors: Louis Steier Gwen , Gleich Kevin , Lanza Gisela 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The long-term configuration of the production network includes the allocation of products and processes. Numerous, sometimes conflicting objectives are pursued, such as market access, economies of scale and risk mitigation. However, in order to systematically configure the network, it is necessary to strategically analyse the strengths and weaknesses of the sites. This article presents a fuzzy inference-based approach for the holistic evaluation of the production networks. The tool was applied in two practical case studies. The results and implications are also presented.

Company-Specific Plant Roles
Authors: Kaiser Jens , Friedli Thomas 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The interaction between a firm’s headquarters and its plants is crucial to ensuring that the manufacturing network generates a competitive advantage. The concept of plant roles, first introduced by Ferdows (1989), is a suitable tool to facilitate the headquarters-plant relationship. Although many articles deal with Ferdows’s plant roles, hardly any can be found that discusses how companies can design and deploy their own plant roles. Thus, this article proposes a step-by-step guide for network managers.

: Diabetes keto-acidosis is the most serious hyperglycemic emergency in patients with diabetes. DKA has long been considered a key clinical feature of T1D. In this study, we assessed biochemical disorders focused on lipid and renal parameters in KPD.: We carried out a case-controls study for one year, encompassing 200 participants in total. Patients were outpatients newly diagnosed diabetics attending for the first time hospitals, controls were no-ketosis participants. Blood samples were taken, after 10 to 12 hours of fasting from the day before, in different tubes for each intended analyses according to instructor’s recommendation. The increased mean value of fasting blood glucose together with HbA1c are corrolated with ketonuria. As regard to cardio-metabolic risk, ketosis-prone patients were at greater risk than no-ketosis controls The mean AIP value was higher in KPD women than in men, with no significant statistical correlation. Uremia and creatininemia, two kidney parameters commonly prescribed to explore glomerular filtration, were correlated with some social indicators. The mean values of these both parameters increased significantly with age in KPD group. Creatinine increased significantly with age in patients, in line with glomerular filtration rate (GFR). The older the participants, the higher the mean values of these parameters. : These biochemical parameters, high atherogenic index and lower glomerular filtration rate, documented in our study, must be sought out when inaugural ketosis is suspected for improving the clinical prognosis of patients in the initial step of management.

AbstractRainwater harvesting (RWH) is principally based on collecting, storing, and using rainfall which would otherwise be lost as surface runoff. Runoff threatens in several ways: accelerating erosion, intensifying flooding, and reducing groundwater recharge. Therefore, purposely retaining rainfall in the urban water cycle rather than draining has several positive impacts on designing sustainable cities. This work presents a proposal on how to avoid flooding in cities by systematically harvesting, storing rainwater, and using it for multiple purposes. The concept of RWH presented here has the potential to be a radical innovation to solve the social, economic, and environmental challenges associated with flash flooding. Each residence is regarded as a water production unit. Depending on the climatic conditions, people can meet their water needs on a local household basis, or alternatively use piped water as a complement. By infiltrating rainwater, groundwater is locally recharged and downstream wells are more productive. The implementation of this idea involves entrepreneurial agency that challenges existing structures, rather than adapting to them. Clearly, social entrepreneurship and social innovation are expected to catalyse the realization of this social innovation, also in rural areas. It is about mobilizing ideas, capacities, and resources to create a sustainable social transformation.
Clinical Decision Support System Used in Spinal Disorders: Scoping Review
Authors: Toh Zheng An , Berg Bjørnar , Han Qin Yun Claudia , Hey Hwee Weng Dennis , Pikkarainen Minna , Grotle Margreth , He Hong-Gu 
Published: February 2024

Background
Spinal disorders are highly prevalent worldwide with high socioeconomic costs. This cost is associated with the demand for treatment and productivity loss, prompting the exploration of technologies to improve patient outcomes. Clinical decision support systems (CDSSs) are computerized systems that are increasingly used to facilitate safe and efficient health care. Their applications range in depth and can be found across health care specialties.

Objective
This scoping review aims to explore the use of CDSSs in patients with spinal disorders.

Methods
We used the Joanna Briggs Institute methodological guidance for this scoping review and reported according to the PRISMA-ScR (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews) statement. Databases, including PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, ProQuest, and PsycINFO, were searched from inception until October 11, 2022. The included studies examined the use of digitalized CDSSs in patients with spinal disorders.

Results
A total of 4 major CDSS functions were identified from 31 studies: preventing unnecessary imaging (n=8, 26%), aiding diagnosis (n=6, 19%), aiding prognosis (n=11, 35%), and recommending treatment options (n=6, 20%). Most studies used the knowledge-based system. Logistic regression was the most commonly used method, followed by decision tree algorithms. The use of CDSSs to aid in the management of spinal disorders was generally accepted over the threat to physicians’ clinical decision-making autonomy.

Conclusions
Although the effectiveness was frequently evaluated by examining the agreement between the decisions made by the CDSSs and the health care providers, comparing the CDSS recommendations with actual clinical outcomes would be preferable. In addition, future studies on CDSS development should focus on system integration, considering end user’s needs and preferences, and external validation and impact studies to assess effectiveness and generalizability.

Digital technologies as a driver of resilience and institutional transformation: The case of Ukrainian agroholdings
Authors: Gagalyuk Taras , Kovalova Maryna 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The present paper explores how implementation of digital technologies (DTs) assists firms in transition economies in addressing weaknesses of the institutional environment surrounding them, in particular via establishment of collective governance systems. Based on case studies of three large-scale agroholdings operating in Ukraine, the paper aims to fill the research gaps with regard to the following: motivation of the firm to initiate DT-enabled collective governance systems; the rules these systems are based on; and the reasons behind the firm’s choice of a particular governance mode – closed, shared or open – for these systems. The findings generally support the institutional theory argument that complex technology enables coordination of exchange relationships not only within but also outside firm boundaries. At that, the choice of a governance mode between closed, shared or open institutional infrastructure is likely to depend on the firm’s ownership concentration, corporate transparency, availability of resources and social embeddedness.
Shaping a Modern Townscape in The City Centre Area: The Case of Vilnius
Authors: Panavaitė Lina 
Published: February 2024

Abstract
The development of a contemporary townscape within the historical urban structures is a phenomenon of this period that has been going on in Lithuania for about 20 years. This is an ongoing process with an uncertain outcome, as the rapidly changing urban design trends require quick responses to current needs. It is necessary to modify, revise, and supplement the concepts and existing legislation accordingly. This article examines the factors leading to the emergence and formation of the modern townscape in Vilnius, as well as the documents governing the city’s development after gaining independence. It presents an evaluation of the newly established urban structures in the central part of Vilnius and identifies the challenges and problems in shaping the contemporary townscape. The results of the study allow us to identify what actions must be taken in order to form a high-quality modern townscape, starting with self-evaluation of what has been done and ending with the creation of a dynamic urban model that would respond to constantly changing needs.
