Multi-method study

description: Smart home assistants (SHAs) have gained a foothold in many households. Although SHAs have many beneficial capabilities, they also have characteristics that are colloquially described as creepy – a fact that may deter potential users from adopting and utilizing them. Previous research has examined SHAs neither from the perspective of resistance nor the perspective of creepiness. The present research addresses this gap and adopts a multi-method research design with four sequential studies. Study 1 serves as a pre-study and provides initial exploratory insights into the concept of creepiness in the context of SHAs. Study 2 focuses on developing a measurement instrument to assess perceived creepiness. Study 3 uses an online experiment to test the nomological validity of the construct of creepiness in a larger conceptual model. Study 4 further elucidates the underlying behavioral dynamics using focus group analysis. The findings contribute to the literature on the dark side of smart technology by analyzing the triggers and mechanisms underlying perceived creepiness as a novel inhibitor to SHAs. In addition, this study provides actionable design recommendations that allow practitioners to mitigate end users’ potential perceptions of creepiness associated with SHAs and similar smart technologies.

description: Similarity of caspase-X paralogs and immunoblot analysis of A. millepora caspase-X constructs. (A) Alignment of the caspase-X paralogs from A. millepora. The red underlined section is a typical caspase domain, with the catalytic residues (H and C) highlighted. The blue underlined section is an additional caspase-like domain, but lacking the catalytic residues (highlight indicates positions where the catalytic residues should be, based on the alignment). Numbering at left refers to residue position in the caspase-X sequence; note that, in the region shown, the caspase-X sequence (derived from cDNA clone D038-A5, GenBank:KR351289) differs at only one position (V266I) from the genomic prediction AmCaspase Xa. (B) Immunoblot analysis of FLAG/CaspX and its truncated form. Plasmids encoding intact or truncated forms of caspase-X with a FLAG-tag were transiently cotransfected into HEK293T cells together with the pCAG-p35 plasmid. After culture for 2 days, transgene products were analyzed with control cell extracts by immunoblotting with appropriate antibodies. The asterisk indicates a non-specific reaction. Abbreviation: MWM, molecular weight marker. (C) The assignments of α-helix and β-sheet secondary structure elements are based on a previous study [52]. Residues predicted to form H bonds between the two domains are indicated by asterisks. (PDF 1084 kb)

description: Trichinellosis is a potentially deadly parasitic zoonosis that is contracted by consuming undercooked infected meat. Reliable detection of infectious Trichinella spp. larvae in meat is therefore pivotal to ensure consumer's safety. The recently authorised PrioCHECK™ Trichinella Alternative Artificial Digestion (AAD) test kit appears promising when used with the standard magnetic stirrer method, but evaluation with other apparatus types is lacking. In this study, the performance of the AAD kit in an adapted Trichomatic-35 (TM5) instrument was evaluated, first, at the Swiss National Reference Laboratory for trichinellosis (NRL); second, in a ring trial involving four Swiss official laboratories. Proficiency pork samples spiked with larvae of Trichinella spiralis, T. britovi, or T. pseudospiralis were tested with the AAD kit and with the reference pepsin-HCl digestion method in TM35 instruments. At the NRL, both methods yielded identical qualitative and similar quantitative results independently of the Trichinella species. In the ring trial, satisfactory results were obtained for 47/50 (94.0%) (AAD) and 62/67 (92.5%) (reference method) of the analysed samples. Technical problems impairing analysis were more frequently observed with the AAD kit (n = 22) than with the reference method (n = 5) and were mainly (16/22) reported by one of the external labs. When no technical issues were recorded, the performance of both methods was comparable, in agreement with the observations at the NRL; however, these results suggest a need for further training with the kit and standardisation of the adapted TM35 instruments.

Designer of the Canon: A Case Study of Swiss Graphic Design Historiography and Tastemaking
Creators: name: Lzicar, Robert
name: Unger, Amanda
Year: 2014

description: Switzerland has a notable impact on the development of the historiography of graphic design and design criticism in the second half of the 20th century. This reputation rests on two facts: that it has been the place of publication of some important articles and books and, that a number of Swiss graphic designers were equally prolific as editors and authors. Therefore, publications served as the predominant format for the presentation of approaches to graphic design, through the selection and arrangement of artefacts, which resulted in historical narratives. The success of the Swiss Style and its widespread successor, the International Typographic Style, fostered an international interest in the historiographical activities by its key representatives such as Karl Gerstner and Josef Müller-Brockmann. Some writers argue that they created narrative structures by “singling out individual designers and works” (Scotford 1991). These narratives are said to serve as a conceptual model for a number of subsequent design histories and lay the foundation for graphic design history as a field of research (Drucker 2009). Against this backdrop, this paper reconstructs the trajectory of two posters designed by renowned Swiss graphic designer, author and teacher Josef Müller-Brockmann, within selected publications created in Switzerland between 1958 and today. By critically examining the visual and textual narratives accompanying “Schützt das Kind!” (1953) and “Weniger Lärm” (1960), it presents their introduction in and their continuously gaining significance within the canons of the Swiss Style and the International Typographic Style. Furthermore, it traces the impact of Müller-Brockmann’s multiple roles as a designer, editor, critic and historian, as well as a tastemaker.

description: Binder remnants in historical mortars represent a record of the connection between the raw materials entering the kiln, the process parameters and the end product of the calcination. Raman microspectroscopy combines high structural sensitivity with micrometre to sub-micrometre spatial resolution and compatibility with conventional thin-sectional samples in an almost unique fashion, making it an interesting complementary extension of the existing methodological arsenal for mortar analysis. As vibrational fingerprints of crystalline and amorphous compounds, Raman spectra contain marker bands specific for minerals and their polymorphic forms. Relative intensities of bands related to the same crystalline species change according to crystal orientations, and band shifts can be caused by the implementation of foreign ions into crystal lattices as well as stoichiometric changes within solid solution series. Finally, variations in crystallinity affect band widths. These effects are demonstrated based on the analysis of three historical mortar samples: micrometric distribution maps of phases and polymorphs, crystal orientations and compositional variations of solid solution series of unreacted clinker grains in the Portland cement mortars of two 19th century castings, and the crystallinities of thermal anhydrite clusters in a high-fired medieval gypsum mortar as a measure for the applied burning temperature were successfully acquired.

description: We report a five-nations project in comparative child protection to provide recommendations on policy and practice to inform the redevelopment of the Swiss child protection system. The Swiss Federal Government and the Optimus and Oak Foundations commissioned the project—collective title: Association Programme National pour la Protection de l’Enfant. We identify the historical developmental trajectories of child protection systems together with common drivers: the evidential basis for the prevalence and effects of child abuse, the co-joining of social and economic policies and practices to promote early investment in children, the influence of children’s rights and comparative international league tables on child well-being. We describe the cross-national project methodology and analysis of results. Three key indicators for the performance of national child protection systems are indicated: creating a culturally sensitive child protection governance framework, building a relational heart and using evidence to inform policy and practice. These encapsulate the recommendations made with respect to the Swiss child protection system. The results provide a prototype model with potential utility in similar cross-national studies, and add weight to the argument that cross-cultural learning in the context of a globalised society is not only possible, but desirable.
Institutional theory-based research on Corporate Social Responsibility: Bringing values back in

Year: 2022

description: Research applying institutional theory to corporate social responsibility (CSR) has experienced remarkable momentum. Institutional theory-based CSR research illustrates the role of values in guiding both agentic choices for CSR and the influence of institutional structures on CSR agency. Although values have been explored in this literature, systematic studies of values that seek to gain insights into the mutual relationship between agentic choices and structures are lacking. Such insights are crucial for exploring whether and how CSR is enabled or constrained. We thus ask two interrelated questions: (1) What is the role of values in institutional theory-based CSR research? (2) How and along which avenues should future institutional theory-based CSR research that focuses on values be mobilised? Based on our analysis of this line of literature from 1989 until 2021, first, we take stock of established institutional theory perspectives on CSR and disentangle what role values have played in this literature. Second, we outline how to mobilise values in future institutional CSR research based on four promising but under-investigated areas. From our literature analysis, two central functions emerge (which we label ‘bridging’ and ‘referencing’) that values can perform in the institutional analysis of CSR. Based on these two functions, our values-focused framework will help scholars examine the moral foundations that inform business–society interactions as well as understand how companies can responsibly manage those interactions with societal stakeholders.

Emissions of Passenger Cars in Special Driving Situations
Creators: name: Engelmann, Danilo
Year: 2021

description: Testing of real driving emissions (RDE), as an element of a type approval of passenger cars (since September 2017), offers the opportunity to collect the data about the emissions in special driving, or non-driving situations. These situations are: cold start, warm-up of the engine, stop & go and idling. In the present work of the Laboratory for Exhaust Emissions Control (AFHB) of the Berne University of Applied Sciences (BFH), the definitions of the special driving situations were proposed and the emissions of 7 passenger cars (gasoline & Diesel) were extracted from the present RDE data. Furthermore, some special driving situations, particularly the stop & go operation with varying share of idling were reproduced on chassis dynamometer. As expected, the emissions of CO, NOx and PN are in the cold start and in the first part of the warm-up phase (c.a. 25s) considerably higher than in the rest of the investigated urban phase. The singular emitting situations like “stop & go” or idling occur frequently in the warm-up phase, i.e. in the city operation when the engine and the exhaust system are still not warm enough. The emissions in the investigated particular driving situations scatter considerably for the different vehicles due to varying efficiencies and warm-up of the exhaust aftertreatment systems.

description: It is the actions of entrepreneurs that give rise to new organizations. However, a comprehensive understanding of what entrepreneurs do and what actually leads to venture success is currently lacking. To summarize existing research, we conduct a structured literature review including 59 empirical articles linking entrepreneurs’ behavior to venture success. We define "actions" as discrete units of "doing" that can—potentially be observed by others and "success" as firm-level success measured by firm status (e.g., firm survival) or performance (e.g., sales). More than half of the included articles are based on data from the Panel Study of Entrepreneurial Dynamics (PSED), but there are also important "stand-alone" studies. We analyze the "what," the "how," the "how much," and the "when" of entrepreneurs' actions that lead to venture success. In addition, we integrate the view of entrepreneurship as an evolutionary process. The analysis reveals that studies typically analyze "what" entrepreneurs but less often "when" and "how much" and rarely "why," "how," and "what else" they do. Based on our findings, we develop a six-point research agenda. Specifically, we argue that future research should strive to understand the motives behind entrepreneurs’ actions, consider how entrepreneurs conduct activities, and what kind of business ideas they are working on. Also, applying alternative measurements and capturing a more complete picture of what entrepreneurs do when starting a business but also aside from their venturing efforts might contribute to a better understanding of the relationship to venture success.

description: Deforestation poses a significant threat to global biodiversity and ecosystem services. This study focuses on estimating the deforestation within Protected Areas (PAs) in Madagascar over a 21-year period from 2001 to 2022. A novel methodology utilizing remote sensing data and specific thresholds of tree canopy density is employed to estimate annual deforestation rates and identify trends and patterns within PAs. The analysis reveals significant deforestation in the PA network over the last decade, particularly in 2014, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Notably, the lowest annual deforestation rates were estimated during the Covid-19 years of 2020 (0.66%), 2021 (0.62%), and the subsequent year in 2022 (0.67%) when considering the entire network of 103 PAs with natural forests from 2013 to 2022.

description: Im vorliegenden Bericht werden die Einflüsse der heutigen Leistungssteigerungsmöglichkeiten auf die Emissionen von landwirtschaftlichen Fahrzeugen dargestellt. Hierzu wurde ein Traktor mit zwei handelsüblichen Tuning-Sets ausgestattet. Leistungs- und Emissionsverhalten des Traktors wurden in einem ersten Schritt im Originalzustand, mit den beiden Tuning Sets sowie mit einer Abschaltvorrichtung für das SCR-System stationär an der Zapfwellenbremse vermessen. Anschließend wurde der Traktor im Originalzustand sowie mit den beiden Tuning-Varianten für Transport- und Feldarbeiten eingesetzt, dabei wurden die Emissionen mittels PEMS gemessen, um einen allfälligen Effekt auf die Emissionen nachzuweisen. Die Tuning-Sets führten zu Mehrleistungen von rund 20%. Ebenfalls wurde das Fahrzeug mit abgeschalteter SCR Vorrichtung, ohne weitere Probleme (z.B. Aktivierung des Notlaufprogramms) in Betrieb genommen. Emissionen, insbesondere die NOx Werte lagen auf vergleichbaren Niveau gegenüber der Variante ohne Tuning. Vergleichbar fiel das Verhalten des Kraftstoffverbrauches aus, bis auf eine Messung konnte keine wesentliche Steigerung gegenüber dem Serienstand festgestellt werden.

Discrimination between the enantiomers of carvone and terpinen-4-ol in normal rats and those with olfactory bulb lesions
Creators: name: McBride, Kathleen Marie
Publisher: name: American University
Year: 2023

description: We assessed (1) whether the enantiomers of terpinen-4-ol, odorants that activate nearly identical areas of the olfactory bulb, are more difficult to discriminate than those of carvone, odorants that activate different areas of the olfactory bulb, and (2) whether olfactory bulb lesions that disrupt the pattern of bulbar activation produced by these enantiomers degraded the ability of rats to discriminate between them. In psychophysical tests, normal rats discriminated between the enantiomers of terpinen-4-ol and of carvone equally well. Surgical lesions that removed the majority of bulbar glomeruli activated by these odorants (As demonstrated in prior olfactory bulb studies using optical imaging and 2-deoxyglucose [2-DG]) resulted in increased detection thresholds but few or no deficits in discriminating between supra threshold concentrations of enantiomers. These results fail to confirm prior predictions based on 2-DG maps of bulbar activity that enantiomers of terpinen-4-ol should be more difficult to discriminate than those of carvone and that the ability to discriminate between enantiomers of an odorant are based on differences in patterns of bulbar activation revealed in such maps.

description: Lower extremity dysfunction is often associated with hip muscle strength deficiencies. Detailed knowledge of the muscle forces generated in the hip under specific external loading conditions enables specific structures to be trained. The aim of this study was to find the most effective movement type and loading direction to enable the training of specific parts of the hip muscles using a standing posture and a pulley system. In a novel approach to release the predictive power of musculoskeletal modelling techniques based on inverse dynamics, flexion/extension and ab-/adduction movements were virtually created. To demonstrate the effectiveness of this approach, three hip orientations and an external loading force that was systematically rotated around the body were simulated using a state-of-the art OpenSim model in order to establish ideal designs for training of the anterior and posterior parts of the; M. gluteus medius (GM). The external force direction as well as the hip orientation greatly influenced the muscle forces in the different parts of the GM. No setting was found for simultaneous training of the anterior and posterior parts with a muscle force higher than 50% of the maximum. Importantly, this study has demonstrated the use of musculoskeletal models as an approach to predict muscle force variations for different strength and rehabilitation exercise variations.

description: Background: Steam explosion pretreatment has been examined in many studies for enhancing the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass and is currently the most common pretreatment method in commercial biorefineries. It is however not effective for overcoming the extremely high recalcitrance of softwood to biochemical conversion. Recent fundamental research in small-scale liquid hot water pretreatment has shown, though, that the addition of a carbocation scavenger like 2-naphthol can prevent lignin repolymerization and thus enhance the enzymatic digestibility of softwood cellulose. This work studies the technical application potential of this approach in a larger steam explosion pilot plant for surmounting softwood recalcitrance. Results: The addition of 35.36 g 2-naphthol to the steam explosion pretreatment of 1.5 kg spruce wood chips allowed to considerably enhance the enzymatic cellulose digestibility. Different ways of adding the solid 2-naphthol to steam pretreatment were tested. Mixing with the biomass before pretreatment could enhance digestibility by up to 55% compared to control experiments. Impregnation of the biomass with 2-naphthol was yet more effective. Acetone and ethanol were tested to dissolve 2-naphthol and impregnate the biomass. The solvents were then removed again by evaporation before the pretreatment. The impregnation allowed to enhance digestibility by up to 179 and 192%, respectively. A comparison to prevalent acid-catalyzed steam explosion pretreatments for softwood revealed that the scavenger approach allows for obtaining exceptionally high yields in enzymatic hydrolysis. The biomass impregnation with 2-naphthol even renders a complete enzymatic cellulose conversion possible, which is remarkable for a softwood pretreatment not removing lignin. Steam pretreatment experiments without explosive decompression revealed that the enhancing effects of the explosion and the scavenger complement each other well. The explosion enhances the accessibility of the cellulose while the use of the scavenger reduces particularly the deactivation of enzymes. Conclusions: This is the first study to show that a carbocation scavenger in steam pretreatment can enhance the enzymatic digestibility of lignocellulosic biomass. The approach opens up a novel possibility for overcoming the high softwood recalcitrance in a process that does not require an acid catalyst or the removal of lignin from the biomass.
Foodwaste within Swiss households: A segmentation of the population and suggestions for preventive measures

description: The aim of this study was to better understand the attitudes, perceptions and behaviours of the Swiss towards the food waste generated within their households and to provide suggestions of targeted measures to tackle the problem effectively. Data were collected through a postal survey sent out to a randomly selected sample of 3834 German- and French-speaking Swiss residents, yielding a final sample size of N = 681. A cluster analysis resulted in the identification of six distinct consumer groups: the conservative (23.9%), the self-indulgent (7.5%), the short-termist (20.9%), the indifferent (27.4%), the consumerist (14.1%) and the eco-responsible (6.2%). If an appropriate combination of measures is implemented, the household food waste issue could be addressed among all population segments and a slow but evolving behaviour change would be expected. A comprehensive action plan was developed, which comprises several generic and segment-specific measures and requires close collaboration between the authorities and further stakeholders, which are the retailer, the industry, the civil society, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the cultural partners. The success of the program lies in this collaboration, which offers a broad range of intervention possibilities and communication means, while enhancing the visibility of the campaign. The specificities of the Swiss context—a population known for its tenacious wasteful habits and a particularly low share of the budget allocated to food—emphasise the need for coordinated and strong action.

Publisher: name: Shaker Verlag
Year: 2015

description: High performing, such as highly loaded, and large span timber beams are often used for sports and industry halls, public buildings or bridges, and provide an aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly structural solution. Reinforcement of beams may be required to extend the life of the structure due to deterioration or damage to the material or due to a change of use. The main aim of this chapter is to summarise the current and emerging methods that are available to repair or enhance the structural performance of timber beams. An overview of the main materials, cross sections and geometries used for timber beam structures is presented. Furthermore, their general failure modes are described and typical reinforcement methods and corresponding retrofitting techniques are given. For each of the failure modes, the methods and their advantages are summarized. The reinforcement methods include wood to wood replacements, use of mechanical fasteners such as screws and rods, and methods which add additional strengthening materials.
