description: This paper sets out to identify developments and trends around industrial transformation stemming from digital technology adoption and environmental aspirations, and how these transformations impact on the future of work until 2035. Thereby our guiding question is: How do recent digital and environmental developments shape industrial firm and work practices, thereby changing the nature of jobs and the demand for skills? The method applied is a systematic literature survey following the PRISMA method. We started with broad search terms around “digital” and “green” in Sciencedirect as well as the Web of Science in February 2024. This literature study is part of a wider European research project on industrial transformation. It will eventually serve the development of explorative scenarios of future developments relating to new jobs and emerging skill needs.
Guidelines for a BIM-aided pre-deconstruction audit

description: The BIM-aided pre-deconstruction audit process is mainly a process of collecting and digitalizing data of precast concrete elements in a donor building, from which they will be deconstructed. The digital information is stored in a database that architects and structural designers can use when designing a new building with reused precast concrete elements.

The ReCreate project tests the process of harvesting and reuse of precast concrete elements in four real-life projects in Europe. The goal is to gather knowledge in a wide range of topics directly connected to the reuse of precast concrete elements in structures of new buildings. By reusing these elements, they get a second life and the environmental impact of construction a new building is significantly reduced.

The insights gained in the pilot projects contribute to a kind of ‘roadmap’ for collection information on donor buildings and their precast concrete elements in what we call a ‘pre-deconstruction audit’ (as opposed to the more familiar ‘pre-demolition audit’). The audit process contains all the steps necessary to start an efficient and (structurally) safe deconstruction process of a donor building.

The audit process starts by collecting data from various archives and the internet, such as Google Maps and Street View. The data is entered into a visual database, a 3D BIM model. This 3D BIM model offers great advantages in managing and validating the collected data. To validate the data, determine its reliability and complete missing data, a visual inspection is performed. Additional testing supports the data and the reliability of the data. The information obtained is incorporated into the 3D BIM model in order to create a final, complete and reliable 3D BIM database containing all the necessary information of the precast concrete elements.

The roadmap for collecting the data, creating a 3D BIM model (database), verifying and managing the data of the donor building and precast elements is laid down in this document as a recommendation.

description: Background: Arteriosclerosis and emphysema develop in individuals with Schimke immuno-osseous dysplasia (SIOD), a multisystem disorder caused by biallelic mutations in SMARCAL1 (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a-like 1). However, the mechanism by which the vascular and pulmonary disease arises in SIOD remains unknown. Methods: We reviewed the records of 65 patients with SMARCAL1 mutations. Molecular and immunohistochemical analyses were conducted on autopsy tissue from 4 SIOD patients. Results: Thirty-two of 63 patients had signs of arteriosclerosis and 3 of 51 had signs of emphysema. The arteriosclerosis was characterized by intimal and medial hyperplasia, smooth muscle cell hyperplasia and fragmented and disorganized elastin fibers, and the pulmonary disease was characterized by panlobular enlargement of air spaces. Consistent with a cell autonomous disorder, SMARCAL1 was expressed in arterial and lung tissue, and both the aorta and lung of SIOD patients had reduced expression of elastin and alterations in the expression of regulators of elastin gene expression. Conclusions: This first comprehensive study of the vascular and pulmonary complications of SIOD shows that these commonly cause morbidity and mortality and might arise from impaired elastogenesis. Additionally, the effect of SMARCAL1 deficiency on elastin expression provides a model for understanding other features of SIOD.

Brunei Darussalam: Asia's next leading location for regional treasury centres?
Creators: name: Roslan, Rady Roswanddy
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This study investigates the location criteria (LC) considered when establishing regional treasury centres (RTCs) across three countries Brunei, Singapore and Hong Kong. LC are the important factors that are compulsory for Multinational Companies (MNCs) to examine before setting up RTCs in another region other than where their headquarters are. Comparing Brunei to Asia’s leading international financial centres and locations for RTCs i.e. Singapore and Hong Kong, would assist in identifying whether Brunei is able to host RTCs. The study contributes to the understanding of LC assessment before establishing a RTC in any location. A similar investigation method was conducted, previously applied to European countries, is duplicated and applied to the three Asian countries. The results found that in comparison to Singapore and Hong Kong, Brunei is lacking in terms of the examined LC. Brunei needs to improve these LC to reach the same level of success in Treasury activities as Singapore and Hong Kong.

description: A process for ensuring the properties of deconstructed precast concrete elements is essential for safe reuse. The properties are important for structural designers when designing a new building with reused elements and evaluating their structural capacity and service-life.

The ReCreate project researches the process of reusing precast concrete elements through four real-life deconstruction and reuse pilots in Europe. The aim is to study different aspects of the whole process, including quality assurance.

To reuse precast concrete elements safely, it is essential to ensure their material properties. Especially when reusing load-bearing structures, certain properties, such as compressive strength, reinforcement details and cover depth of reinforcement, are required for evaluating structural capacity. However, the requirements for testing depend on the requirements of the new application, as the durability requirements may be different in different applications.

This document describes the tests done in each of ReCreate’s four real-life pilots in the different countries (Finland, Sweden, the Netherlands, and Germany).

Abstract

Two studies of two-dimensional models of flows influenced by stratification and stratification/rotation are carried out in order to investigate whether a two-dimensional model can reproduce a downscale energy cascade with an associated k −5/3 wavenumber spectrum. Firstly, a series of highly resolved numerical simulations of the classical shallow water model is carried out. A forward energy cascade is observed but the dynamics is dominated by shocks, with an associated k −2 spectrum. A theory for shallow water wave turbulence is formulated and compared to the results from the simulations. Secondly, a series of simulations of a new two-dimensional toy model is carried out, showing that the model is not generating shocks and can reproduce a downscale energy cascade with an associated k −5/3 spectrum. The energy transfer is studied in detail in Fourier space and is compared with results from a general circulation model. An experimental study of strongly stratified turbulence at the Coriolis platform in Grenoble is carried out, with the aim of testing novel theories of stratified turbulence. Turbulence is generated by traversing an array of cylinders through a tank containing stratified salt water. Velocity is measured by Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) and density is measured by conductivity probes. In particular, the author has developed the software system analysing the PIV images. Preliminary results from the experiment are presented. To realise the research objectives, a set of open-source software packages are developed in Python, under the umbrella of the FluidDyn project. The packages enable execution of simulations, experiments and processing of data. The codes are well documented, tested and designed to promote development and reuse.
Business model canvases for precast concrete element reuse

Subjects: precast concrete

description: This report presents business model canvases (BMCs) for precast concrete element reuse developed in the ReCreate project. The BMCs are a result of structured analyses of ReCreate’s pilot projects’ business models and value creation mechanisms. Their purpose is to provide profound understanding on how concrete reuse businesses are construed on system, company, and process levels. These insights can help companies and value chains to improve their business models, e.g., by identifying increased value creation potential and by understanding of potential cost-efficiency pitfalls to address.

The ReCreate project (funded by European Union’s Horizon 2020 under grant agreement no 958 200) studies the construction industry’s possibilities to transition from virgin concrete production and aggregate recycling into reuse of precast elements. This could potentially reduce the product phase carbon footprint by more than 90%. However, the reuse of precast concrete elements is still only rarely seen as economically viable. This is due to, among other things, the perceived difficulty of deconstructing elements as intact, and it is also impacted by the high cost-effectiveness of business-as-usual virgin production processes. Therefore, one of ReCreate’s main objectives is to demonstrate the value and profitability potential of the reuse model, as well as to develop scalable business models. The investigation is facilitated by the ReCreate consortium’s four pilot projects in Finland, Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Each of the pilots involve a leading company partner which carries out the practical implementation.

The current deliverable’s objective is to provide business-relevant understanding for companies aspiring to engage in the reuse of precast concrete elements. The knowledge is structured in the levels of the whole value chain (system), individual company roles, and process stages, and it is presented in the form of BMCs. The analysis concludes that although element reuse entails multiple new high-value processes and thus creates attractive business for involved companies, labour costs from time-intensive deconstruction and component handling remain a major profitability barrier. To scale up reuse in the industry, the creation of new marketplaces for reuse elements by either existing or new value chain actors could play a key role. Lastly, companies can divide responsibilities in the reuse value chain in various ways, and vertical integration of different process stages from deconstruction to reuse has the potential to bring about business benefits regarding cost-efficiency and market creation.

description: AbstractTitle: Eco-Energizing the Coast: Green Energy Strategies for Enhancing Hotel Performance in Mombasa, Kwale, and KilifiObjective: This study aimed to assess the impact of green energy practices on the performance of hotels in Mombasa, Kilifi, and Kwale Counties. It focused on understanding how green energy adoption affects energy consumption, cost savings, and operational efficiency, and to identify barriers and facilitators to successful implementation.Methods: The study employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection. A total of 110 hotels were surveyed, with data analyzed using ANOVA, multiple regression, and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Qualitative data were analyzed thematically to identify common challenges and benefits reported by respondents.Results: The findings revealed that hotels with high levels of green energy adoption significantly reduced their energy consumption, achieved greater cost savings, and improved their operational efficiency compared to those with lower levels of adoption. ANOVA results showed significant differences in performance metrics across different adoption levels. Multiple regression and SEM analyses confirmed positive relationships between green energy adoption and improved performance indicators. Qualitative analysis highlighted significant benefits such as reduced operational costs and enhanced corporate image, while also identifying challenges including high initial costs and technical difficulties.Conclusions: Green energy practices have a substantial positive impact on hotel performance in the study region. However, challenges related to initial costs and technical support need to be addressed to facilitate broader adoption. Government incentives and technical training are crucial for overcoming these barriers and enhancing the sustainability of green energy practices in the hospitality sector.Recommendations: The study recommends the provision of financial incentives, development of technical support programs, and promotion of best practices to support green energy adoption in hotels. Monitoring and evaluation frameworks should be established to track progress and measure the impact of green energy practices.Keywords: Green Energy, Hotel Performance, Energy Consumption, Cost Savings, Operational Efficiency, Mombasa, Kilifi, Kwale, Kenya

description: The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding on the actor ecosystems and critical actors in the reuse of concrete elements.

To enable the reuse of precast concrete elements, many different actors must collaborate. They include key value chain actors within the construction industry, their subcontractors, and supporting actors, such as authorities. As the reuse of concrete elements provides new challenges and opportunities for the construction industry, it is important to understand the actor ecosystem: the variety of actors, their roles and tasks. Compared to conventional construction projects, the reuse of precast concrete elements requires new skills and new ways of thinking. Therefore, the actors involved have to expand their conventional roles or even take on new roles within the concrete element reuse ecosystem.

The current report provides new understanding on the roles and tasks needed to enable concrete element reuse, and how these tasks can be distributed between the value chain partners. The findings are based on data collected through interviews, ethnographic follow-up and from secondary sources. Related results of the ecosystem mapping have also been published in a journal article and a conference article.
Optical Characterization of the Keck Array Polarimeter at the South Pole

Year: 2014

description: The Keck Array (SPUD) is a set of microwave polarimeters that observes from the South Pole at degree angular scales in search of a signature of Ination imprinted as B-mode polarization in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB). The first three Keck Array receivers were deployed during the 2010-2011 Austral summer, followed by two new receivers in the 2011-2012 summer season, completing the full five-receiver array. All five receivers are currently observing at 150 GHz. The Keck Array employs the field-proven BICEP/BICEP2 strategy of using small, cold, on-axis refractive optics, providing excellent control of systematics while maintaining a large field of view. This design allows for full characterization of far-field optical performance using microwave sources on the ground. We describe our efforts to characterize the main beam shape and beam shape mismatch between co-located orthogonally-polarized detector pairs, and discuss the implications of measured differential beam parameters on temperature to polarization leakage in CMB analysis. 2012 SPIE.

The impact of internal and external monitoring measures on firm's dividend payout: evidence from selected Malaysian public listed companies
Creators: name: Leng, Chang Aik
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This paper examines the impact on dividend payouts of internal and external monitoring measures instituted by companies to improve their corporate governance structures. The study involves 120 selected Malaysian listed companies over a four-year period from 1996 to 1999. This period encompassed the 1997/98 Asian financial crisis which affected most countries in the Southeast Asian region including Malaysia. Due to the combination of cross-sectional and time-series data, panel data regression techniques were used to analyse performance of the firms using both fixed effects and random effects models. Using dividend payout as the dependent variable, it was established that the size of firm, gearing ratio (borrowing) and the proportion of non-executive directors on a company board significantly influenced the dividend payout of firms. The impact of size on dividend payout of firms followed a quadratic fashion with payout increasing with the size of the firm up to the optimal size of around 11,321 million ringgit, in terms of turnover. Beyond that, firm's dividend payout declined with increasing size. The study also found that company borrowing had a negative effect on dividend payout. Finally, increasing the proportion of non-executive directors in a firm could lead to a decrease in dividend payout.

Taiwan: Rückblick auf das Jahr der Schlange (1989)
Creators: name: Nieh, Yu-Hsi
Publisher: name: China aktuell
Year: 2019

description: Politisch gesehen befand sich die Republik China auf Taiwan im vergangenen Jahr noch immer in einer Übergangsphase zwischen der traditionellen chinesisch-patriarchalischen Herrschaftsstruktur und einer neuen demokratischen Regierungsform westlicher Prägung. Im Vergleich zu 1988, dem Jahr des Drachens, traten Veränderungen im Jahr der Schlange zwar nicht schlagartig ein; der Kurs zur Liberalisierung und Demokratisierung ist inzwischen ziemlich fest verwurzelt, jedoch waren und sind weiterhin dornen- und kurvenreiche Strecken zu überwinden.

Gesetzgebung und Rechtspraxis im nachmaoistischen China

description: Das Öffentliche Recht ist nicht zuletzt deshalb so besonders interessant, weil dort jene vielen "kleinen" Normen auftauchen, die für das Leben des Durchschnittsbürgers wesentlich bedeutsamer sind als die mit so viel Aufhebens bekanntgemachten Gesetze vom Zuschnitt eines Patentgesetzes oder einer Zivilprozeßordnung, und weil es hier überdies um Regelungen geht, die trotz ihrer Bedeutung für den Alltag zumeist in noch keine westliche Sprache übersetzt worden sind, so daß sie bei Abhandlungen westlicher Beobachter häufig ganz außer Betracht bleiben.

description: Single-cell genomics provides unprecedented potential for research on plant development and environmental responses. Here, we introduce a generic procedure for plant nucleus isolation combined with nanowell-based library preparation. Our method enables the transcriptome analysis of thousands of individual plant nuclei. It serves as an alternative to the use of protoplast isolation, which is currently a standard methodology for plant single-cell genomics, although it can be challenging for some plant tissues. We show the applicability of our nucleus isolation method by using different plant materials from different species. The potential of our single-nucleus RNA sequencing method is shown through the characterization of transcriptomes of seedlings and developing flowers from Arabidopsis thaliana. We evaluated the transcriptome dynamics during the early stages of anther development, identified stage-specific activities of transcription factors regulating this process, and predicted potential target genes of these transcription factors. Our nucleus isolation procedure can be applied in different plant species and tissues, thus expanding the toolkit for plant single-cell genomics experiments.

description: 3. Notylia amazonica Linden (1882: 83), non valid. publ.
 Type:— BRAZIL. Amazonas [“Amazone”]: s. loc., 1865, J. Linden s.n. (not found).
 Notes: — Linden (1882) published N. amazonica without description, diagnosis or nomenclatural type, and it was considered to be a species known only by name (Cogniaux 1904). Due to the lack of a description, it is not possible to correlate the name to a biological entity. Therefore, no type designation is possible or required (Turland et al. 2018: Art. 6.3).

The mentor and the entrepreneur: a study of mentors and mentoring through the lens of entrepreneurs
Creators: name: Tye, Marian
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: It has been estimated that in excess of 1,000 publications on the topic of mentoring have been produced in the last 25years (Baugh & Fagenson-Eland, 2007) with the concentration of that work being in the three primary areas of youth, student-faculty, and workplace mentoring, and with the greatest proportion of that literature having its origins in the United States of America (Allen & Eby, 2007). However, despite the popularity of the topic and the use of the terms ‘mentor’ and ‘mentoring’ being increasingly transposed to the world of the entrepreneur, particularly with regard to support provided to entrepreneurs through programs aimed at business development, little research has examined the concept from the entrepreneurs’ standpoint. This thesis reports an exploratory study into the nature of mentors and mentoring, viewed through the lens of the entrepreneur. The research approach involved in-depth interviews supported by an embedded survey, with 32 founder owner-managers of small or medium sized enterprises based in the US, Canada, UK, or Australia. The interviews, being the stories of the entrepreneurs, were fully transcribed and NVivo7 software utilised to organise and interrogate the data. Analysis of the stories identified the sources of assistance for the entrepreneurs and, from those sources, who or what was designated a mentor and the nature of the mentoring provided. The findings revealed that the term ‘mentor’ was not freely used or lightly applied by the entrepreneurs in this study. Of particular note was the finding that only three of the eight Australian entrepreneurs elected to designate a mentor, suggesting the need for further research into cultural meaning of the term. Five clusters of mentoring contributions made by the mentors were identified and named confirming, corporeal, experiential, attributional, and affinial. Whilst there were similarities with descriptions of mentoring in the literature, there were also subtle differences; in particular, the attributional and affinial clusters emerged to be points of difference as was the transactional nature of the activity. Two particular characteristics of the entrepreneurs also emerged, namely reciprocity and the ability to communicate and ask for help. When these findings were combined with the survey data, the nature of mentoring received from mentors and other sources of assistance could be identified for each entrepreneur.
Weather effects of stalk necrosis in Vitis

description: A 5-step physiological explanation is offered for correlations found by THEILER and MÜLLER (1986) between aspects of the weather at flowering and the incidence of stalk necrosis in grape. Four of the steps are well supported in the literature and are discussed briefly. The other step proposes that the development of xylem in the peduncle is stimulated by floral evapotranspiration. This postulate is tested with measurements of xylem cross-sectional area in clusters taken from vineyards located in diverse regions of New Zealand for which meteorological data were available. Statistical analysis indicates a clear distinction between material from the climatic extremes and a significant (P = 0.05) correlation between calculated values of evapotranspiration during flowering and peduncular xylem area. The beginning of a physiological explanation for the seasonal effects on the incidence of stalk necrosis in grape has stimulated studies which may allow the selection of non-sensitive varieties.

Climatic resistance in some interspecific wine grape hybrid families
Creators: name: Hajdu, Edit
Publisher: name: VITIS - Journal of Grapevine Research
Year: 2015

description: In the lowland wine regions, which comprise almost half of the total wine production area in Hungary, meteorological observations indicate that severe winter frosts and deficiencies in precipitation occur in every 3rd year. Under these conditions, stable production requires varieties which can tolerate -23 to -25 °C and can be grown at a low yearly precipitation of 350-400 mm. A part of our breeding programme includes breeding of wine grape varieties with climatic resistance. In our crosses interspecific and Eurasian hybrids are used as gene sources. In the progenies of hybrid families some individuals with excellent winterhardiness have segregated. Their distribution and characters are presented.

description: 4. Notylia amesii Smith & Harris (1937: 40).
 Type:— GUYANA. Upper Demerara-Berbice between Demerara and Berbice Rivers, 15–19 July 1922, J. S. de la Cruz Rodríguez 1674 (holotype: GH 76304!, GH 7316 microscope slide; isotypes: NY barcode 02361554!, US 1190173!).
 Notes: —In the protologue, Smith & Harris (1937) indicated the collections GH and NY for the respective deposit of the holotype and isotype of N. amesii, as well as the collection of the AMES herbarium for the paratype. The holotype is conserved as an exsiccate and as a microscope slide, thus in two forms (Turland et al. 2018: Art. 8.3). Another isotype was also located in the US collection that was not indicated in the protologue. The paratype derived from the Klug 999 sample was located preserved in the NY collection, differently from what was reported by the author in the protologue in AMES.
 Additional material examined:— PERU. Loreto: Maynas, Mishuyachu, February–March 1930, G. Klug 999 (paratype: AMES not found, US 1190173!).
