description: Supply chain networks today are complex networks with various actors spread across the globe. They operate in a volatile, uncertain, and disruption-prone environment which requires them to perceive, react, and respond proactively to effectively manage their operations and maintain customer satisfaction. In this paper, we introduce a signaling methodology to generate early warning signals for a time series upon deviation from the normal pattern, serving as complementary information to demand forecasts. The methodology can be used to detect deviations in the demand curves, which will be propagated through the network to enable the decision makers in taking prompt actions to minimize the effect of the deviation, and better position the supply chain in the wake of disruptions. Relying just on demand forecasts for decision-making can be detrimental as occasionally demand forecasts are unable to capture sudden discrete changes (step up or down) or a turning point (e.g., change from a decreasing time trend to an increasing trend) accurately and rapidly. In such situations, demand disruption signals with characteristics that complement the behavior of demand forecasts play an essential role in proactively assessing and preparing to navigate the disruptions. The developed demand disruption signals leverage bias-identification tracking signals on demand forecasts to proactively detect demand disruption potentiality. Through real-world industrial experiments, our model significantly outperforms typical disruption detection models and are able to capture changes in demand patterns.

description: Abstract

Aim/Purpose: - The aim of the descriptive research study was to investigate the mediating role of organizational culture in relationship between the leadership practices and the employee engagement. The various leadership practices for organizational effectiveness include: communication, employee empowerment, work-life balance of employees, performance feedback system, training and development practices which are implemented in the organization for employee wellbeing followed by the mediating factor include organizational culture which shapes the employee attitudes and behaviours within the workspace. The positive attitude which is very much essential for productive work environment. The culture explores a complex system of values, beliefs, norms, practices which are followed in the workplace which influence the overall work environment of the organization. The employee engagement explains the commitment and dedication of the employees towards their work in the organization. Therefore, the present research explores the mediating role of organizational culture in relationship between the leadership practices and employee engagement. Findings: - The outcome of the research witnessed that the organizational culture have shown significant (p<.000) with the engagement and the model witnessed that there is a full mediation as the antecedents of leadership practices have shown significant relationship the culture followed by engagement. Research methodology/Approach/Design: - It is a descriptive research design and collected 400 responses by developing a questionnaire on Likert Scale. Sampling Technique: - Applied simple random sampling technique to collect the opinion from various respondents. Statistical Technique: - Applied both descriptive and inferential statistics. It includes Mean, SD, Correlation, regression and Structural Equation Algorithm. All the values in the assessment like: GFI, AGFI, NFI, TLI, CFI are >.80 and RMSEA<.08 and the Chi-Square (p<.000).  Generalization: - The outcome of the research can be generalized under any phenomenon where need arises to assess the employee engagement with the help of organizational culture and antecedents of leadership practices in the organization.

Οι παραδοσιακές προσεγγίσεις Βαθιάς Μάθησης έχουν επιτύχει κορυφαίες επιδόσεις σε εργασίες HAR, αλλά συχνά στερούνται ερμηνευσιμότητας και δυσκολεύονται να συλλάβουν πολύπλοκες σημασιολογικές σχέσεις μεταξύ δραστηριοτήτων. Η νευρο-συμβολική τεχνητή νοημοσύνη (NeuroSymbolic AI), η οποία συνδυάζει τα πλεονεκτήματα της συμβολικής συλλογιστικής και της βαθιάς μάθησης, προσφέρει μια πολλά υποσχόμενη εναλλακτική λύση. Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία διερευνά την εφαρμογή της νευρο-συμβολικής τεχνητής νοημοσύνης σε αναγνώριση ανθρώπινης δραστηριότητας χρησιμοποιώντας το DeepProbLog, ένα δημοφιλές νευρο-συμβολικό framework που ενσωματώνει πιθανολογική μοντελοποίηση βασισμένη στη λογική με βαθιά μάθηση. Επικεντρωνόμαστε στο DeepProbLog, καθώς χρησιμοποιείται εκτενέστερα στον τομέα και έχει δείξει δυνατότητα να εφαρμοστεί σε διάφορα πεδία. Πρωταρχικός μας στόχος είναι να διερευνήσουμε πόσο καλά αποδίδει το DeepProbLog στην αναγνώριση ανθρώπινων δραστηριοτήτων και να συγκρίνουμε τα αποτελέσματά του λαμβάνουμε με παραδοσιακές προσεγγίσεις βαθιάς μάθησης. Αρχικά παρουσιάζουμε το DeepProbLog και συζητάμε τις βασικές αρχές του, συμπεριλαμβανομένης της ενσωμάτωσης της λογικής-πιθανοτικής μοντελοποίησης με τα νευρωνικά δίκτυα. Στη συνέχεια παρουσιάζουμε μια ολοκληρωμένη αξιολόγηση των επιδόσεων του DeepProbLog σε εργασίες HAR, επισημαίνοντας τα δυνατά σημεία και τους περιορισμούς του. Τα πειράματά μας καταδεικνύουν ότι το DeepProbLog υπερτερεί έναντι των παραδοσιακών μεθόδων βαθιάς μάθησης όσον αφορά την ακρίβεια και την ερμηνευσιμότητα, ιδίως όταν πρόκειται για συγκριτικά περίπλοκες εφαρμογές.

description: Charles Jencks famously stated that Modern architecture died in St Louis, Missouri on July 15, 1972. While his statement has been disputed, the historical ineptness of Modern architecture to solve the housing problems of the urban poor is generally accepted. This is supported by several unsuccessful high-profile modernist housing estates in the 20th and 21st centuries. Nevertheless, there has been a recent re-engagement with modernism in theory and practice, and notably in solutions to upgrade slums in Latin America. This has happened in the background of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically goal 11 - Sustainable Cities and Communities - that aims by 2030 to "ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services and upgrade slums". This paper analyses a recent modernist large-scale slum upgrading intervention in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The project relocated a vulnerable informal settlement of over 7000 people to a new housing estate. The paper draws on ethnographic methodologies to critically analyse the ex-ante rationale of the project and the ex-post situation of the community in terms of resident's perception of the new housing estate. We argue that the project is revised version of modernism: contextualized to the time, culture, geography, and users. Almost four years post-intervention residents praise comfort aspects of the project, report higher sentiments of safety, and endorse the project as a model for future slum upgrading in the country. These findings align with emerging re-evaluations indicating that modernist housing estates are not as problematic as the literature has suggested and can still solve the housing issues of the vulnerable urban poor.

description: Climate change related events affect informal settlements, or slums, disproportionally more than other areas in a city or country. This article investigates the role of slums in the nationally determined contributions (NDCs) for the Paris Agreement of a selected group of 28 highly urbanized developing countries. Content analysis and descriptive statistics were used to analyze first the general content in these NDCs and second the proposed role, or lack thereof, of slums in these documents. The results show that for most of the analyzed countries, context-based climate policies for slums are not part of the strategies presented in the NDCs. We argue that a lack of policies involving informal settlements might limit the capacity of developing countries to contribute to the main goals of the Paris Agreement, as these settlements are significant portions of their urban populations. One of the hopeful prospects of the NDCs is that they will be reviewed in 2020 for the 26th Conference of the Parties (COP26). With this paper, we aim to stimulate discussions about the crucial role that informal settlements should play in the NDCs of developing countries in the background of the synergies required between climate change actions and sustainable development.

description: This paper introduces the concept of hyperconnected transportation, drawing inspiration from the Physical Internet, as a sustainable approach to addressing economic, environmental, and social challenges in regional overland transport. It is characterized by three types of connectivities (i.e., shipper-to-network, intra-network, and network-to-carrier connectivity), and incorporates five logistics strategies (i.e., demand aggregation, freight containerization, an interconnected hub network, multimodal transportation, and relay-based transportation). Our study investigated a scenario where a hyperconnected transportation planning platform (HTPP) interfaces with a network of relay hubs to manage bulky goods shipping demands from shippers over time. Unlike conventional systems, the HTPP collaborates with multimodal relay carriers that offer both rail and truck services, optimizing the movement of goods from origins, through hubs, to destinations. We developed a novel Rolling-Horizon Hyperconnected Transportation Planning Framework and a Multimodal Relay Service Network Design optimization model for the HTPP to tactically plan deliveries, with goals to minimize lateness, reduce costs, and decrease emissions. A case study in the Southeastern US automotive delivery sector was conducted to validate the effectiveness of our methodology, considering varying shippers' preferences for delivery velocity, timeliness, and sustainability. We also examined the potential benefits of integrating rail services and clean-powered truck technologies to further improve efficiency, lower costs, and strive towards a zero-emission logistics network. Overall, this research promotes the advancement of a multimodal relay ecosystem by establishing foundational concepts, offering a relevant business model, and proposing a scalable decision-making model to enhance the sustainability and efficiency of regional overland transportation.

description: From 2016 to 2020, the “PraeRi” study, conducted by three German veterinary universities, was aimed at enhancing animal health and welfare in dairy farms. With 765 dairy farms visited and 101,307 animals examined, this study provided a basis for improving animal health and welfare. The study population comprised three different regions representing a broad variety of characteristics. To ensure representative estimates, a sample size of 250 farms was determined for each region, employing a stratified sampling plan based on farm size. According to the information provided by the farmers, the most commonly occurring disease in their herds was mastitis without general disorder (14.2% to 16.3% of the herd—depending on the region). For most disorders, prevalence data were lowest for the region South compared with the two remaining regions. Multivariable regression analyses were performed to identify risk factors for various target variables, and the results were communicated through individual reports and benchmarking flyers to participating farmers. The authors encountered challenges in management and communication due to the project’s size in terms of personnel, data, and farms examined. Harmonizing data management and hypothesis testing across all involved parties added complexity.

description: Campylobacteriosis cases in humans are of global concern, with high prevalence rates in the poultry reservoir considered the most important source of infection. Research findings show Campylobacters’ ability to enter a viable but non-culturable (VBNC) state, remaining “viable” but unable to grow on culture media. We explored the persistence of VBNC states in specific environments, particularly at broiler farms, as this state may lead to an underestimation of the present Campylobacter prevalence. For VBNC detection, a propidium monoazide PMA-dye viability qPCR (v-qPCR) was used in combination with cultivation methods. We examined samples collected from broiler farm barns and their surroundings, as well as chicken manure from experimental pens. In addition, the tenacity of culturable and VBNC-Campylobacter was studied in vitro in soil and water. In a total of three visits, Campylobacter was not detected either culturally or by v-qPCR (no Campylobacter DNA) in the environment of the broiler farms. In four visits, however, VBNC-Campylobacter were detected both inside and outside the barns. The overall prevalence in environmental samples was 15.9% for VBNC-Campylobacter, 62.2% for Campylobacter DNA, and 1.2% for culturable C. jejuni. In the experimental pens, no cultivable C. jejuni was detected in chicken manure after 24 h. Strikingly, “VBNC-Campylobacter” persisted even after 72 h. “VBNC-Campylobacter” were confirmed in barn surroundings and naturally contaminated chicken manure. Laboratory studies revealed that VBNC-Campylobacter can remain intact in soil for up to 28 days and in water for at least 63 days, depending on environmental conditions.

description: In recent years, the number of foodborne infections with non-O1 and non-O139 Vibrio cholerae (NOVC) has increased worldwide. These have ranged from sporadic infection cases to localized outbreaks. The majority of case reports describe self-limiting gastroenteritis. However, severe gastroenteritis and even cholera-like symptoms have also been described. All reported diarrheal cases can be traced back to the consumption of contaminated seafood. As climate change alters the habitats and distribution patterns of aquatic bacteria, there is a possibility that the number of infections and outbreaks caused by Vibrio spp. will further increase, especially in countries where raw or undercooked seafood is consumed or clean drinking water is lacking. Against this background, this review article focuses on a possible infection pathway and how NOVC can survive in the human host after oral ingestion, colonize intestinal epithelial cells, express virulence factors causing diarrhea, and is excreted by the human host to return to the environment.

description: The process of bundling items that need to be together in a container is known as kitting. In the context of Modular Construction (MC), kitting has the potential to streamline productivity since all the necessary parts to complete an assembly will be closed to each other. However, the kit generation process has associated challenges such as dealing with irregularly shaped objects and complex constraints. This paper explores the integration of Virtual Reality (VR) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) to overcome these challenges and develop optimal kitting strategies. Our value proposition involves a Human-VR-driven approach for efficient kit generation. Results indicate that our method not only has the potential to improve volume utilization rates compared to traditional optimization methods but also is capable to produce feasible solutions with less computational expense under specific scenarios. Lastly, this case opens new research opportunities to extend our findings to larger-scale applications.
FMDV RNA packaging and capsid assembly

Publisher: name: Imperial College London

description: Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV), of the Picornaviridae family, is a non-enveloped, single-stranded, positive-sense RNA virus. FMDV infects cloven-hooved animals and is an important pathogen for global agriculture due to the economic consequences of both endemic disease and epidemic outbreaks. In infected cells, production of new FMDV particles involves packaging the genome into an icosahedral capsid assembled from sixty protomeric subunits, but detailed mechanisms for these events are not known and are the subject of investigation in this thesis. Host-proteins, such as heat-shock proteins (HSPs), have been previously found to enable the proteolytic processing and multimerisation of capsid precursors during the early stages of assembly. An unbiased approach was utilised here to identify various host-proteins interacting with the capsid precursors during each major stage of assembly, and from this a more complete model for capsid assembly was generated where HSP70 binds to unprocessed capsid precursors to enable processing, HSP90 binds the protomer to refold it into a form suitable for multimerisation, and interactions between capsid proteins and host-proteins involved in the replication complex localise the capsid with newly synthesised RNA for encapsidation. A trans-encapsidation assay was also developed which made it possible to test the effects of mutations in the FMDV genome on RNA encapsidation. Using this assay, it was shown that previously identified putative packaging signals (PPS) dispersed across the genome were required for wt levels of encapsidation, and that mutating these regions impaired encapsidation. Deletion of the 5’-most PPS proved lethal to the virus, and it is demonstrated here that this PPS is an important packaging signal. These packaging signals are predicted to facilitate assembly of the capsid from pentamers recruited to the replication complex by providing a nucleus for pentamers to assemble around, effectively providing a scaffold for capsid assembly which also provides specificity for genome packaging.

description: Haptic feedback in Virtual Reality (VR) facilitates the transfer of virtual experiences into the physical world. In particular, haptic feedback in architectural design enables designers to feel the materiality of their creations, with the possibility to apply different materials, refine designs based on the haptic experience, and assess requirements at an early stage. In this paper, we assess an innovative end-effector based on an origami structure and a robotic gripper that can provide a real-time simulation of material elasticity and stiffness without requiring a prop change, offering a cost-effective and energy-efficient solution. The evaluation consisted of a perceptual study where participants used the origami end-effector and had to push a thin virtual wall in VR. We tested three types of stiffness rendering (Soft, Medium, and Stiff). Participants had to answer how stiff the rendering was and which type of material they could refer to when touching the virtual wall. Results showed that although the stiffness perception across conditions was not significant, participants reported different types of materials depending on the condition. We also discuss the potential of origami-based end-effectors for improving haptic interaction for architectural design in VR.

description: Parcel logistics hubs play a crucial role in aggregating and distributing packages, requiring significant capital and labor investments, primarily determined by conveyor infrastructure. Recently, the HyperHub concept has emerged, employing PI-Boxes and racks for parcel consolidation and transport. HyperHub functions as a cross-dock, transferring PI-Boxes between inbound and outbound trucks. However, challenges persist in developing a practical, cost-effective, and risk-free implementation methodology for HyperHub, despite advancements in its conceptualization, design, and execution system. To address this challenge, the authors present a comprehensive methodology for designing and developing a HyperHub based on the concept of digital twin (DT) in the early stages of the design process. A digital replica of the system is used in the early stages of design to create a physical layout and test the control system in a risk- and cost-effective environment. This is accomplished by integrating a modelbased system into the digital copy of the real system. Firstly, we propose a concept of a generic digital twin cellular logistic hub (DT-CLH) methodology for the HyperHub, inspired by the cellular manufacturing (CM) and cellular warehousing (CW) concepts. Secondly, we formulate and define a cellular logistic hub (CLH), considering the objective of minimizing total movement.
Enantiospecific SuFEx reactions of sulfonimidoyl fluorides towards sulfonimidamides and sulfoximines

description: A key goal in synthetic chemistry is to develop new methods to enable access to underexplored chemical space. The discovery of novel molecular entities is of great importance in medicinal, agricultural, and other chemical industries to more effectively and efficiently tackle the challenges of today’s world. Sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides, the chiral aza-analogues of sulfones and sulfonamides, offer an opportunity to modulate the properties of these ubiquitous S(VI) functional groups. However, until recently they have remained underexplored due to their lack of synthetic and commercial access, especially in enantioenriched forms. In this thesis, the development of new synthetic methods to access sulfoximines and sulfonimidamides are described. Firstly, the chiral analogues to sulfonyl fluorides, sulfonimidoyl fluorides, were generated from sulfinamide salts, sulfinate salt analogues, and used in a Sulfur Fluorine Exchange (SuFEx) reaction with amines. It was found that the degenerate nucleophilic attack of fluoride ions in solution resulted in inversion of the sulfonimidoyl fluoride and so fluoride ion trapping strategies were employed to prevent racemisation. The resulting enantiospecific reaction sequence was the first facile route to access enantioenriched sulfonimidoyl fluorides and sulfonimidamides. Secondly, the enantioenriched sulfonimidoyl fluoride intermediates were employed in an enantiospecific S–C bond formation reaction with organometallic reagents to furnish sulfoximines. As part of this study, new enantioenriched sulfinamide salts were generated and the effect of modifying the protecting group on the imide nitrogen was explored. This second SuFEx reaction of sulfonimidoyl fluorides was successful in generating enantioenriched sulfoximines in high yields and with very high ee. Finally, as part of an ongoing project, the SuFEx reaction of an isoquinoline sulfonimidoyl fluoride with amines is being explored as a route to generate a library of analogues of a sulfonamide-containing marketed drug, Fasudil. These sulfonimidamide-containing compounds are to be generated and their physicochemical properties tested to determine their value as functional groups in drug discovery programmes. The synthesis of the starting material required significant investigation and so this third section focusses on the development of a robust method to furnish this sulfonimidoyl fluoride. A summary of the conclusions and future work can be found in the penultimate section. All experimental details and data for the compounds synthesised during these studies can be found in the final section.

Resilience-optimized routing

description: Presented at the 10th International Physical Internet Conference (IPIC 2024) 29-31 May 2024, Savannah, GA USA
description: Hyperconnected networks are prone to potentially wide variety of disruptions on daily basis that may impact their performance considerably. In this paper, we devise two combinatorial algorithms: a basic and an adaptive resilience-optimized algorithm to route commodities in large-scale hyperconnected networks that are robust against such disruptions. The basic resilience-optimized algorithm decomposes the total commodity routing based on each origin-destination (O-D) pair and then distributes this O-D commodity demand into multiple edge-disjoint paths. Alternatively, the adaptive resilience-optimized algorithm combinedly routes the commodity demand through multiple edge-disjoint paths without decomposing it separately for each O-D pair. Finally, we assess the efficiency and resiliency of routes obtained through resilience-optimized algorithms and benchmark them with routes generated through only considering efficiency on a hyperconnected network designed for finished vehicle logistics in Southeast USA. Benchmarking reveals enhanced capability of sustaining disruptions by the routes computed through the proposed algorithms as opposed to those generated through only efficiency consideration. Moreover, the results highlight the trade-off between efficiency and resilience in the generated routes.

Type species: Aromobates nocturnus Myers, Paolillo and Daly, 1991 by original designation.
Remarks: Aromobates was known from a single species, A. nocturnus until Grant et al. (2006) moved species in the Colostethus alboguttatus group (sensu Rivero 1988) and Nephelobates (sensu La Marca 1994) to Aromobates, increasing the number to the current 18 species. The current authors recover A. inflexus from synonymy (see below in its own account). More species await description from the Venezuelan Andes and beyond. Barrio-Amorós and Santos (2012) provided a phylogeny and a list with current threats for all species of the genus (except A. inflexus).

description: This paper investigates a comprehensive exploration of a hyperconnected urban delivery system that synergizes public transportation options with containerization for efficient parcel logistics. The study focuses on optimizing the urban middle-mile segment of parcel delivery, emphasizing the integration of freight operations into existing public transport networks. This paper applies three means & ways concepts from the Hyperconnected City Logistic framework: open response planning, open resource deployment, and open capability enablement and adapts them. These three groups of decisions are interconnected, each influencing and complementing the others to enable the creation and efficient use of an urban logistics system using public transport and containerization.
