Subjects: competences, PhD, academic, generic, assessment

description: At Hasselt University, junior researchers are encouraged and supported to take their professional and personal development into their own hands, in order for them to be broadly employable, both within and outside the university walls. An important part of preparing for any further professional step is becoming (more) aware of the competences you have developed and/or want to develop further. This awareness increases opportunities on the labour market in several ways: it broadens your horizon, enhances your self-knowledge, helps you to get a better view on the match between yourself and a potential new position/employer, and supports you in ‘selling’ yourself in an authentic way. The 'competency overview for PhD holders' is a list of 50 competences, potentially mastered by PhD holders, categorized into five clusters: academic research competences, intellectual competences, personal effectiveness, task-orientedness, interpersonal competences. The (non-exhaustive) list thus contains a mixture of academic and generic competences that may be (further) developed during the course of a PhD / research project. Its main goal is to broaden junior researchers’ field of vision and to help them find the right words during their career development process. One single person is not expected to master all of these competences perfectly. The list is rather meant to be a source of inspiration. Junior researchers can use the overview already during their PhD or postdoc period ... to identify their strengths to determine which competences they value most (and/or will need in order to reach a certain goal), to determine their potential for growth, ... with an eye to thoughtfully considering various career options, based on individual strengths and preferences. Each competence has been given a definition referring to the specific behaviours through which the competence can be shown. What makes this overview unique is that it looks at competences from both a non-academic and an academic perspective, in a language that is understandable for people from all disciplines. Additionally included are: a self-assessment tool which junior researchers can use to evaluate themselves and track their competency development throughout time, a 360 degrees assessment tool, which can be used for collecting feedback from others.

description: This article will show the role of communication and its development for English language development.In our fast-paced, interconnected world, effective communication is essential for fostering relationships, enhancing collaboration, and navigating daily interactions. Among the myriad of skills that contribute to successful communication, listening stands out as a fundamental yet often overlooked component. “Developing Listening Skills for Everyday Communication” emphasizes the importance of honing this skill to improve not only personal interactions but also professional engagements.Listening is more than merely hearing words; it involves actively engaging with the speaker, understanding their message, and responding thoughtfully. In everyday situations—whether at home, in the workplace, or within social settings—effective listening can lead to clearer understanding and stronger connections. It allows individuals to grasp not just the content of what is being said but also the emotions and intentions behind those words.

description: The global logistics industry is currently facing a number of challenges, including labor shortages and inefficiencies due to a lack of logistics facilities and resources, as well as increasing disruptions. Under these circumstances, Physical Internet (PI) is attracting attention as an innovative logistics system that can realize a sustainable society by sharing warehouses, trucks, and other means of transportation, improving utilization rates, and reducing fuel consumption. One of the important research themes in PI implementation is how to determine the location of logistics hubs and associated transport routes. In this research, we propose a reinforcement learning-based hybrid algorithm that combines NeuroEvolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT) and Lin-Kernighan Heuristic (LKH-3) to solve the location and route optimization problem. To evaluate the proposed hybrid algorithm, we applied real data from Japan to simulations and evaluated the performance of NEAT. The simulation results suggest that the proposed model could quantify the reduction of CO2 emissions in different scenarios, thus identifying the optimal scenario.

Mannophryne herminae

description: Mannophryne herminae (Boettger 1893) *
Syntypes: SMF. Presumably SMF 7286 is a Lectotype by designation, fide Edwards, 1974.
Type locality: “Puerto Cabello in Venezuela.”
Distribution: Region 2. Central Cordillera de la Costa (to be better determined).
Remarks: The name herminae has long been associated with the abundant populations found in the Cordillera de la Costa. Unpublished genetic data (by J.C. Santos) indicates some of these populations belong to an undescribed species. Mannophryne herminae sensu stricto apparently is found only in San Esteban (Carabobo state) and surrounding areas, near Puerto Cabello. The identity of other populations from Cordillera de la Costa traditionally determined as M. herminae need confirmation. Rojas-Runjaic et al.

description: Bin-backing problem is a combinatorial optimization problem of loading smaller items into larger bins that have to satisfy geometric constraints. It is categorized into three dimensions: One-Dimensional (1D), Two-Dimensional (2D), and Three-Dimensional (3D). In the field of logistics, the 3D bin-packing problem is also commonly referred to as the Container Loading Problem (CLP). With the establishment of Physical Internet (PI), goods are packaged in smart containers of modular dimensions that are reusable or recyclable, i.e., PI(Π) containers. It standardizes containers and promotes the research on weakly hetergeneous 3D loading problems. Monitoring through PI identifiers facilitates tracking and tracing, akin to internet dataq packets, thereby digitizing the physical bin packing process. The emergence of Cyber Physical Internet (CPI) provides real-time information to the network layer, propelling the transition from 3D spatial packing problems to four-dimensional spatiotemporal packing problems. In contrast to PI, CPI further demands rapid alignment between freight demand and logistics resourcesw, necessitating real-time decision-making within large-scale PI network. Rather than planning for the future, decision are made at the moment of data acquisition. However, when dealing with extensive datasets, executing pre-forecasted packing scenarios according to a predetermined plan becomes challening, leading to resource wastage and reduced network efficiency.

description: The concept and practice of PI are global and require worldwide cooperation to achieve more efficient, sustainable and intelligent logistics and supply chain networks, relying heavily on advanced information and communication technologies (ICT). Cyber-physical systems (CPS), with powerful computing, communication and control capabilities, is one of the key technologies to support dynamic decision-making based on real-time information. CPS shows great potential for implementing PI. Despite current studies have made preliminary exploration of empowering PI with digitalization capacity from CPS, it is still challenging to conduct a seamless combination of CPS with PI due to their unclear integration boundary.

description: This study investigates how well English as a Foreign Language (EFL) learners report understanding (i.e. comprehensibility) and actually understand (i.e. intelligibility) native and non-native accents of English, and how EFL learners’ self-reported ease of understanding and actual understanding of these accents are aligned. Thirty-three Dutch-speaking EFL learners performed a comprehensibility and accentedness judgement task, followed by an orthographic transcription task. The judgement task elicited listeners’ scalar ratings of authentic speech from eight speakers with traditional Inner, Outer and Expanding Circle accents. The strength of a speaker’s accent significantly affected listeners’ comprehensibility ratings. Most speakers were highly intelligible, with transcription accuracy ranging between 79% and 95%. The study foregrounds the effect of native and non-native accents on comprehensibility and intelligibility, and highlights the importance of multidialectal listening skills.

     Key words:Different accents,comprehensibility,listener’s scalar, intelligibility,multidialectal listenings skills, special attention,methodological relevance,based on speech,the flexibility of non-native phonological representations.

description: Modular integrated construction (MiC) is a game-changing disruptively-innovative approach, which improves quality, simplifies management and reduces construction time due to its off-site production and on-site installation characteristics. However, as one of the most sophisticated processes of MiC, on-site assembly still faces: 1).insufficient interoperability; 2). low-efficient module alignment; 3). highly susceptible safety incidents. To address these challenges, our contributions are: A digital twin (DT)-based real-time module tracking framework for real-time monitoring and control of MiC assembly to fulfill sufficient interoperability. A transformer-enabled (DT-PosFormer) network for real-time spatial-temporal module data analysis to automatic pose estimation. A trajectory prediction of MiC assembly alignment to prevent potential structural collision and misaligned stacking.

description: Eurasian rail freight transport has made significant progress in recent years, demonstrating its potential as a critical player in the global supply chain. However, this intercontinental rail transport involves a wide range of stakeholders, including shippers, logistics service providers, rail undertakings, infrastructure and terminal operators, railway operators, and other equipment operators. Multiple interfaces across totally different rail systems complicate information exchange. Due to a lack of information integration, intercontinental rail freight planning has a long history of manual rail planning, relying heavily on planner experience and knowledge. This work extracts relevant information from the supply chain and rail freight system to create a time-space formulated Intercontinental-Scheduled Service Network Design (SSND) that is specifically designed for Eurasian rail system. This model aims to incorporate heterogeneous service requirements from the global supply chain into intercontinental rail planning. It calculates potential delays, determines the length of stay for each order at each terminal, and synchronises order schedules at border crossing terminals. The initial application of this model in Eurasian rail freight transport has produced promising results, demonstrating its potential for wider implementation in intercontinental rail freight transport.

description: This paper compares the effect of network configuration on the dynamics of freight delivery. A comparison is made between Physical Internet (PI) and traditional distribution for the line, tree, square, circle, and cluster topologies. A mixed-integer linear program (MILP) model is presented to optimize the trade-off between dispatching and inventory costs. Quicker dispatch reduces inventory costs but increases the cost of transportation. This model is then applied for both the PI and traditional distribution contexts for each topology to understand the conditions favorable to PI. The key factors affecting the performance of the two methods are the distance ratio and the capacity of vehicles relative to dispatch flows. In terms of topology, the line configuration is always beneficial to PI but in the case of the other topologies, PI is good when the distance ratios and the flow quantity in relation to vehicle capacity increase.

description: The primary objective of this study is to investigate the influence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the evolution of the Physical Internet (PI), a transformative vision for logistics systems, through a thorough analysis of pertinent literature. This research aims to bridge the gap in scientific knowledge regarding AI's integration into the PI by identifying AI methods to enhance both theory and implementation. Specifically, the study focuses on three aspects: (1) the most prevalent AI methods in PI, (2) the potential theme-specific AI enhancements of PI, and (3) the potential AI methods for employment in PI. The study proposes a novel AI-in-PI framework which will help academicians and practitioners in identifying current research patterns of AI in PI. Furthermore, the study identifies literature gaps requiring further investigation and offers valuable insights into the intersection of AI and PI.
