ZusammenfassungDie digitale Transformation ist unausweichlich, unumkehrbar, unglaublich schnell und unsicher in der Ausführung. Dabei bahnt sie sich ihren Weg durch verschiedenste Branchen und Unternehmen jeder Größe. Die Auswirkungen können aber ganz unterschiedlich sein. Der einfache Zugang zu innovativen Technologien hat zu einer Disruption vieler etablierter Geschäftsmodelle geführt. Für eine erfolgreiche digitale Transformation gibt es aber kein Geheimrezept. Etablierte Unternehmen müssen daher darauf achten, nicht von neuen Marktteilnehmern verdrängt zu werden und auch interne Prozesse wettbewerbsfähig zu gestalten. Dafür müssen sie aktiv neue Technologien evaluieren und zur kontinuierlichen Erneuerung des eigenen Geschäftsmodells nutzen. Wichtig sind eine strikte Kundenorientierung, die Freude und Bereitschaft am Experimentieren mit neuen Technologien sowie die entscheidende Rolle der Verbesserung bestehender und Knüpfung neuer Partnerschaften in immer komplexeren Ökosystemen. Die Beispiele in diesem Buch zeigen, dass eine digitale Transformation nicht kurzfristig abgeschlossen werden kann. Vielmehr sollte sie als ein kontinuierlicher Prozess betrachtet werden, der Unternehmen immer wieder vor Herausforderungen, aber auch neue Möglichkeiten stellt.

Published: July 2022

ZusammenfassungDie digitale Transformation von Wirtschaft und Gesellschaft ist eines der beherrschenden Themen in der praxisorientierten Managementliteratur. Vier Eigenschaften sind charakteristisch für digitale Transformationsprozesse: Unausweichlichkeit, Unumkehrbarkeit, Schnelligkeit und Unsicherheit. Für Unternehmen sollte nicht die Frage im Vordergrund stehen, wie sie sich von den auf sie zukommenden Veränderungen entkoppeln können, sondern, wie sie den Transformationsprozess aktiv mitgestalten können (Dieser Beitrag basiert auf einem Interview mit Prof. Dr. Helmut Krcmar, erschienen in: IM+io Fachzeitschrift für Innovation, Organisation und Management, Ausgabe 04/2014).

Published: July 2022

AbstractThe design of reliable wearable systems for real-time and long-term monitoring presents major challenges, although they are poised as the next frontier of innovation in the context of Internet-of-Things (IoT) to provide personalized healthcare. This new generation of biomedical sensors targets to be interconnected in ways that improve our lives and transform the medical industry. Therefore, they offer an excellent opportunity to integrate the next generation of artificial intelligence (AI) based techniques in medical devices. However, several key challenges remain in achieving this potential due to the inherent resource-constrained nature of wearable systems for Big Data medical applications, which need to detect pathologies in real time. Concretely, in this chapter, we discuss the opportunities for edge computing and edge AI in next-generation intelligent biomedical sensors in the IoT era and the key challenges in wearable systems design for pathology detection and health/activity monitoring in the context of IoT technologies. First, we introduce the notion of self-awareness toward the conception of the next-generation intelligent edge biomedical sensors to trade-off machine-learning performance versus system lifetime, according to the application requirements of the medical monitoring systems. Subsequently, we present the implications of personalization and multi-parametric sensing in the context of the system-level architecture of intelligent edge biomedical sensors. Thus, they can adapt to the real world, as living organisms do, to operate efficiently according to the target application requirements and available energy at any moment in time. Then, we discuss the impacts of self-awareness and low-power requirements at the circuit level for sampling through a paradigm shift to react to the input signal itself. Finally, we conclude by highlighting that the techniques discussed in this chapter may be applied jointly to design the next-generation intelligent biomedical sensors and systems in the IoT era.
Innovative Memory Architectures Using Functionality Enhanced Devices

AbstractSince the introduction of the transistor, the semiconductor industry has always been able to propose an increasingly higher level of circuit performance while keeping cost constant by scaling the transistor’s area. This scaling process (named Moore’s law) has been followed since the 80s. However, it has been facing new constraints and challenges since 2012. Standard sub-30nm bulk CMOS technologies cannot provide sufficient performance while remaining industrially profitable. Thereby, various solutions, such as FinFETs (Auth et al. 2012) or Fully Depleted Silicon On Insulator (FDSOI) (Faynot et al. 2010) transistors have therefore been proposed. All these solutions enabled Moore’s law scaling to continue. However, when approaching sub-10nm technology nodes, the story starts again. Again, process costs and electrical issues reduce the profitability of such solutions, and new technologies such as Gate-All-Around (GAA) (Sacchetto et al. 2009) transistors are seen as future FinFET replacement candidates.
Leading in Changing Times

Published: July 2022

AbstractThis chapter reflects on the challenges and opportunities of leading educational change in today’s digitally connected world. It offers personal insights and critical reflections on learning leadership framed by a wide-angle, multifocal lens that helps zoom in and out to visualize preferred futures. Before outlining a collection of leadership touchstones and critical questions for guiding institutional transformation and then reporting their application in the practice of digital education, the chapter begins by illustrating how the new learning ecology is complex and entangled in competing images of the future. Efforts by educational leaders to build agile and sustainable transformative organizational cultures need to be guided by a clear sense of direction and anchored in a living institutional mission. The role of the National Institute for Digital Learning (NIDL) hosted at Dublin City University (DCU) in Ireland is central to this story, as harnessing the transformative potential of new digital technology is at the heart of its change agenda. After briefly introducing DCU, the chapter reports how the NIDL’s commitment to leadership development and active engagement in global networks are helping to reshape the higher education landscape with a critical digital edge. However, forging a future-focused mission based on multifocal criticality and transformative leadership is not something for the faint-hearted; it requires agency, relational capital, and strategic foresight to move from digital in part to digital at the heart of your organizational culture.
Proportions and Deformations in the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba

Published: July 2022

AbstractThis research presents a dimensional analysis of the arcades of one of the most emblematic spaces of the Mosque-Cathedral of Cordoba: its central nave, located besides the mihrab in the ambitious extension carried out by Al-Hakam II. In order to accomplish this survey, a digital model was created from the point cloud obtained with a 3D laser scanner. Subsequently, earlier theories of architectural proportions related to this monument have been reviewed. The comparison of these earlier drawings with the corresponding digital models allows the precision of their different hypotheses to be assessed. Architectonic deformations not considered by the scientific literature are also quantified here. Finally, this research indicates certain partial order relations close to the proportion 1.3, though it should be noted that not all the arcades share the same dimensions and thus no general theory applies to their proportions.
Resolving sets tolerant to failures in three-dimensional grids

Published: July 2022

AbstractAn ordered set S of vertices of a graph G is a resolving set for G if every vertex is uniquely determined by its vector of distances to the vertices in S. The metric dimension of G is the minimum cardinality of a resolving set. In this paper we study resolving sets tolerant to several failures in three-dimensional grids. Concretely, we seek for minimum cardinality sets that are resolving after removing any k vertices from the set. This is equivalent to finding $$(k+1)$$

Published: July 2022

Abstract
Purpose
We hypothesized that during the 2020 pandemic there has been a significant change along the year, depending on the SARS-CoV-2 impact on the population and varying difficulties implied in the norms that were adopted to embank the pandemic. Our objectives were to verify how the phenomenon of domestic violence has evolved and changed along 2020, and to clarify if these changes were correlated to the evolution of the pandemic.

Methods
Though the analysis of the number of daily calls from women to the national anti-violence number and the parameters related to COVID-19 pandemic (daily cases, deaths, hospitalizations, and admissions in ICU), a positive correlation was found between daily deaths due to COVID-19 and the number of calls to the anti-violence number, while daily hospitalizations and admissions in ICU negatively correlated with calls of women reporting at the national anti-violence number.

Results
The number of daily calls from women reporting at the national anti-violence number positively correlated with the number of quarantined people shifted of 30 days from the beginning of isolation at home, as well. We also analyzed temporal trends of daily calls from women to the national anti-violence number from 25th of February 2020 to 31st of December 2020.

Conclusions
These findings demonstrate the importance of an active anti-violence telephone service and may help in developing a strategy to improve anti-violence facilities, especially during crises, such as specific sources of psychological support for women who have survived violence episodes.
Pet ownership, loneliness, and social isolation: a systematic review
Authors: Kretzler Benedikt , König Hans-Helmut , Hajek André 
Published: July 2022

Abstract
Purpose
Several publications explored a relationship between pet ownership and lower levels of loneliness and social isolation. However, to the best of our knowledge, no systematic review has yet synthesized the evidence on these associations. Thus, this systematic review aims to evaluate the findings regarding the relations between pet ownership, loneliness, and social isolation.

Methods
PubMed, CINAHL, and PsycInfo were searched in January 2022. Observational studies relying on appropriate instruments to assess the exposure and the outcome variables were included. Two reviewers independently executed study selection, data extraction, and quality assessment.

Results
n = 24 studies were included. Among adult samples, the studies examining the relationship between pet ownership and social isolation found that owning a pet was associated with lower levels of social isolation. Concerning loneliness, studies that were conducted after the outbreak of COVID-19 mostly showed that pet ownership can contribute to lower levels of loneliness, but did not reveal an overall significant association until then. In turn, the studies that examined child and adolescent samples suggest that pet ownership was related to reduced loneliness before COVID-19. Furthermore, most of the studies did not reveal any differences between dogs, cats, and other kinds of pets regarding their relationship to loneliness and social isolation.

Conclusion
All in all, only a part of the studies detected a significant association between pet ownership, loneliness and social isolation. However, the COVID-19 pandemic seemed to strengthen this relationship, so that future research is required to assess the longevity of this potential effect.
