Abstract:
This paper explores the ambiguous nature of organizational routines in regard to generating innovation or innovation routine. Considering the dual character of routine, we conceptualize that routines have inherently a potential to drive changes, therefore, organizational routines should be considered as a trigger of innovation. In order to exploit organizational routines as a vehicle for innovation, managers should be aware that micro and macro level factors influence the dynamics ofroutines. Hence, to design proper organizational settings managers should learn about the mechanisms activating learning processes as essential for new knowledge generation as well as for novelty generation through organization built on a routine system.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this two-part paper is to develop a process model of unlearning established organizational routines. The model traces the interactions among three unlearning sub-processes: ostensive aspects of initial destabilization of an established routine; performative aspects of ongoing discarding-from-use of old behaviors and experimenting with new ones; and ostensive aspects of eventual release of prior understandings and development of new ones. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on evidence from psychology and cognitive science to explain the mechanisms underlying organizational processes of unlearning embedded routines. Findings The proposed model contributes to enriching current understanding of unlearning organizational routines without contradicting it. Consistent with prior understanding, destabilizing an old routine may lead to discarding it, and further discarding-from-use is likely required for continued destabilization of embedded routines. Again, consistent with prior understanding, experimenting with new behaviors may be a desired outcome of unlearning an old routine, and ongoing experimentation is likely required to sustain unlearning embedded routines. Originality/value The organizational unlearning literature provides many examples of organizational members relinquishing old routines to then make new learning possible and also provides little insight into the processes by which this occurs. The paper addresses this gap by modeling the mutually reinforcing nature of three unlearning sub-processes.

Abstract:
Purpose The terms rituals and routines are often conflated in everyday speech about teams, which betrays a common ontology. Yet these concepts have long been researched in two segregated currents of thought: one stemming from sociology and anthropology, focused on the quality of togetherness and the other from evolutionary economics, focused on market performance. The common ontology is nevertheless present in the processual nature of rituals and routines, the underlying shared reference to the “structure-action-artifact” triad and the statement that both are sources of change as well as stability. This paper aims to assess the pertinence of a joint approach. Design/methodology/approach The paper presents a historical and contrasted view on the two concepts. A comprehensive field observation of two teams in mid-term organizational change contexts, focused on collective “doings”, is reported. The tentative “binocular lens” was made of two chosen sets of variables, drawn from the theoretical fields of rituals and organizational routines. Findings The distinction between rituals and routines in people’s perception, though largely confused, nonetheless reveals the tension between variable and opposing demands for both change and stability from the team side and from the organization side. Their joint action is effective in enhancing the team’s feelings of confidence and control over its own performance and its future within the organization. Research limitations/implications This paper is supported by a comparison of only two teams, leaving room for further empirical research about the effects of endogenous rituality and localized routines on autonomy, efficiency and pride. Originality/value This paper offers a new theoretical joint view on the two concepts and explores an endogenous potential for organizational change feeding on emotional and symbolic aspects of team work.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discourse the essence and utility of (re)emergence theory as the starting point of understanding and interpreting organizational routines dynamics as well as to propose a conceptual framework reflecting both epistemological and methodological value as the keystone of analysing the rationale of organizational routines and the process of their emergence. Design/methodology/approach The paper is based on extensive literature studies. Findings Referring to the research problem concerning the reconciliation organizational routines and the emergence phenomenon, the findings complement the insights of the dominant theoretical perspectives in organizational routine theory, providing a more comprehensive understanding of organizational dynamics by directly addressing the heretofore intractable phenomenon of emergence. In addition, it is going to be a well-justified epistemological base to operationalize routines – not only per se, but also with regard to the mechanisms enacted. Originality/value Routines change over time and the current studies results are not sufficient to understand these changes yet. Interpreting organizational routines from the emergence theory perspective reveals their soft, indeterministic, and unpredictable nature and ought to render the scholars dealing with that phenomenon interpretatively and methodologically cautious. Emergence is a priori embedded in organizational routines’ context. The considerations included in the paper are salient regarding ontological and epistemological issues as they emphasize specific thought and research directions in the field of organization study eventually. Emergence ideas may play a part in discussions of spontaneous order, particularly by implementing it to routines construct. A major issue is the role of these ideas and processes within organizational evolution.

Abstract:This paper offers an alternative to the view of the routines literature provided by T. Felin and N. J. Foss, ‘The Endogenous Origins of Experience, Routines and Organizational Capabilities: The Poverty of Stimulus’, published by theJournal of Institutional Economics. The emphasis here is on practice-based theories of organizational routines that are grounded in close, ethnographic observation of real routines. While this literature may be unfamiliar to some readers, it is relevant here because it specifically contradicts the core assertions made by Felin and Foss. Further, this literature provides a clear theoretical foundation for subsequent research on problems such as stability and change in routines, the nature of capabilities and dynamic capabilities, and complex ecologies of routines.

Abstract:
Purpose Sustainable operations management is characterized by environmental, social and operational goals. The implementation of routines to protect and direct the effective use of human capital is proposed to potentially improve all three dimensions. However, functional managers with overlapping responsibilities at the plant-level might implement human capital routines based on their individual functional schemas. The purpose of this paper is to investigate whether functional managers have conflicting perceptions of human capital routines, due to narrow perceptions benefiting their own functional domain, and thus generate trade-offs. Design/methodology/approach A combination of matched survey and archival data from 198 manufacturing plants is used to explore the degree to which functional managers have conflicting perceptions of human capital routines and the effects of these perceptions on sustainability outcomes. Findings The results indicate that on average functional managers have conflicting perceptions that generate trade-offs between sustainability dimensions. However, when functional managers had a shared perception better outcomes on all sustainability dimensions are shown. Thus, human capital routines can be a powerful tool for sustainability only if senior management can promote a shared schema across functional managers. Originality/value Differently than most previous studies assuming shared sustainability goals within an organization, this study considers a multiplicity of functional actors with potentially varying perceptions about sustainability goals and links these to organizational routine implementation and outcomes. Additionally, the dynamic and subjective nature of organizational routines, such as human capital routines, is proposed to explain contradictory impacts in a multi-objective setting such as sustainable operations management.

Abstract:
General management research has increasingly recognised the significance of routines in organisational performance. Among organisational tasks, megaprojects depend more on routines selected and created within the project than standard, small-scale projects do, owing largely to their size, duration, and uniqueness. Within this context, the present paper investigates how project routines were established and developed during the early design phase of an inter-organisational megaproject. A case study of a large public infrastructure project was conducted, in which data were collected during observations, semi-structured interviews, and project document studies over the course of three years. Results of analysis revealed that the client exerted the greatest impact on choice of routines and that the temporary nature of tasks limited efforts to fine-tune routines. Changes in routines were primarily reactive to new knowledge concerning project needs. The findings suggest that meta-routines to consciously review routines should be used to a greater extent and designed to capture supplier experiences as well.

Abstract:
The growth of urban population and subsequent expansion of the cities impose difficulties of gather a reliable water supply systems that attend the fluctuations of demand throughout the day, and their operation with appropriate hydraulic and operational parameters. The search of better routines for water pumping stations with both starting and stopping of pumps or use of variable speed devices has become increasingly common, and the motivation of this search is found in the need for energy saving. But the task is arduous and becomes fertile field for the application of modern techniques and robust optimization. Noteworthy are currently those that seek their inspiration in nature systems, such as Particle Swarm Optimization, which is based on intelligence of groups, such as schools of fish or swarms of bee. By this way, the present work aims to contribute to the topic, developing a hybrid algorithm (simulator-optimizer) for determination of optimized routines for pumping station i.e., routines that seek the best operational routine for an extended period of 24 hours.

Full text
Abstract:
There are increased ‘calls to reconnect humanity with the biosphere’ to respond to the current environmental crisis. The formative potential of nature experiences for individual’s development of connectedness with nature therefore requires attention. Specifically, connecting children with nature through nature experiences could be a leverage point for sustainable development. This thesis explores the temporal dimension of nature experiences, i.e. nature routines, for young children from a socialecological systems perspective. The views of experienced pedagogues in Swedish outdoors preschools are addressed. The results show that affective connectedness with nature develops in four general phases: being comfortable in nature, enjoy being in nature, caring for nature and oneness with nature, while experiential and cognitive connectedness with nature develop gradually. There is a progression in the pedagogically designed nature routines during the time at the preschool, as pedagogues facilitate relevant learning situations in nature to support the on-going development of children’s connectedness with nature. Nature routines are understood as generating enculturation on how to be and behave in nature. Furthermore, pedagogues’ functional classification of nature places highlights the pedagogical values of varying natural environments and biotopes near the preschool. Implications for urban planning could therefore be investigated further. Future research could also address the relevance of nature routines and the phases of affective connectedness with nature for other age groups.

"Nature Routines of Children as Leverage Point for Sustainable Social-Ecological Urbanism : Connecting childhood and biosphere to design sustainable civilizations in the human habitat." Licentiate thesis, Stockholms universitet, Stockholm Resilience Centre, 2016. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:su:diva-134601.

Abstract:
Strong sustainability requires enhanced knowledge and understanding of complex social-ecological interactions, but it also implies a ‘novel’ conceptualization of the relationship between humans and nature, one in which individuals perceive themselves as embedded members of the Biosphere. The aim of this Licentiate thesis is to investigate the validity of a strategy that is centered on designing the urban green infrastructure to nurture such human-nature relationship in children’s attitudes. The research is framed by spatial cognition, conservation psychology, and social-ecological sustainability and it focuses on the validity of this strategy. Hence, the Licentiate analyzes how reoccurring experiences of nature that are situated in the everyday habitat (i.e. nature routines) affect personal human-nature attitudes and how these can be implemented as leverage points to change social-ecological systems using sustainable urbanism. Paper 1 tests the assumed link between the nature routines in Stockholm and preschool children’s development of cognitive and emotional affinity to nature. The results show that nature-rich routines over a period of four years are significantly correlated with the strength of preschooler’s affinity with nature. Paper 2 uses a mixed methods approach to evaluate changes in Connection To Nature (CTN) in 10 years olds who partake in a project of nature conservation. The results of Paper 2 show that there is an evaluative gap between theory and practice in connecting children with nature that impedes the evaluation of how children’s CTN changes over short periods of time and that impedes the creation of an evaluative framework for nature experiences. Paper 3 considers these empirical results in theorizing an approach to sustainable urban design based on social-ecological sustainability that includes CTN. In order to overcome existing limitations Paper 3 presents the concept of cognitive affordances as a theoretical tool to embed cognitive and emotional attitudes towards nature into the design of urban spaces. All combined these papers provide valid evidence that nature routines in cities, especially for children, can be a significant leverage point to enable future sustainable civilizations.

Abstract:
In the thesis of “Mohammed Aijaz Mohiuddin”, Engineering Nature-Inspired Heuristics for the Open Shortest Path First Weight Setting Problem, nature inspired heuristics were developed. Besides the existing two objectives, namely maximum utilization and the number of congested links, a third objective namely the number of unused links was used to formulate the fuzzy based objective function for the OSPFWS problem. The idea was to make use unused network links if any. Furthermore, a hybrid fuzzy based evolutionary Particle Swarm Optimization (FEPSO) algorithm was designed that harnessed evolutionary intelligence along with swarm intelligence. The proposed FEPSO algorithm was tested on different size test cases and its performance was mutually compared with other algorithms namely Simulated Annealing, Simulated Evolution, Particle Swarm Optimization, Weighted Aggregation Particle Swarm Optimization, Pareto-dominance Particle Swarm Optimization and Non-dominating Sorting Genetic Algorithm. Obtained results suggested the better performance of FEPSO among other algorithms over majority of test cases.

Full text
Abstract:
Statistical classification techniques for natural-language call routing systems have matured to the point where it is possible to distinguish between several hundreds of semantic categories with an accuracy that is sufficient for commercial deployments. For category sets of this size, the problem of maintaining consistency among manually tagged utterances becomes limiting, as lack of consistency in the training data will degrade performance of the classifier. It is thus essential that the set of categories be structured in a way that alleviates this problem, and enables consistency to be preserved as the domain keeps changing. In this paper, we describe our experiences of using a two-level multi-slot semantics as a way of meeting this problem. Furthermore, we explore the ramifications of the approach with respect to classification, evaluation and dialogue design for call routing systems.

Full text
Abstract:
L'automobilisme et ses risques constituent un vaste système historiquement, socialement, culturellement et économiquement sédimenté. Ce processus de légitimation est analysé ici jusque dans ses expressions les plus contemporaines afin de mieux comprendre pourquoi le risque routier persiste à engendrer une très forte morbidité et mortalité en France. La démarche socio-anthropologique mise en œuvre dans cette thèse consiste à interpréter les accidents de la circulation routière dans leur interrelation avec les caractéristiques de l'époque dans laquelle ils se réalisent. Différentes tendances sociétales observées permettent en effet de formuler l'hypothèse selon laquelle la prégnance des technosciences et du libéralisme économique engendre une radicalisation des formes de violence en général et de violence routière en particulier. Autrement dit, la nature des comportements routiers et les accidents résulterait d'une adhésion toujours plus grande aux valeurs portées par le projet moderne. Les thèmes de la vitesse, de la prise de risque par les jeunes, ou encore du déni de responsabilité individuelle et collective seront plus particulièrement développés. Ce travail mobilise les théories classiques de la sociologie et de l'anthropologie, des travaux récents en matière de risques et d'insécurité routière, mais également, à des degrés divers, l'Histoire, la géographie, la philosophie, l'économie ou encore la psychanalyse. Il s'appuie en outre sur des travaux de terrain variés, réalisés principalement au moyen de méthodes qualitatives.

Abstract:
Des 2672 ponts à portées multiples de la province de Québec, plus de 60 % sont de type poutre longitudinale en béton armé ou en acier. De par leur âge avancé et le manque de dispositions de dimensionnement parasismique, ces ponts peuvent être vulnérables aux futurs événements sismiques. Dans le but de réduire le risque sismique et de prévenir l'in-terruption du réseau des transports, ce qui engendrerait de graves conséquences pour la province de Québec, cette étude propose le remplacement des appareils d'appui conven-tionnels habituellement utilisés au Québec par des isolateurs sismiques en caoutchouc naturel. La vulnérabilité de classes typiques de ponts réhabilités avec les dispositifs d'iso-lation sismique est évaluée à partir du développement de courbes de fragilité. Des analyses non linéaires temporelles avec des modèles analytiques détaillés ont été conduites autant pour les configurations typiques des ponts continus (MSC) que pour des ponts simplement appuyés (MSSS) à portées multiples. La comparaison entre la fragilité des ponts tels que construits et des ponts isolés a aussi été menée. Les courbes de fragilité pour les ponts réhabilités constituent un outil puissant pour l'évaluation de l'impact d'une méthode de réhabilitation sur la performance des différentes classes des ponts et soutiennent la décision de priorisation pour la réhabilitation des structures déficientes. En utilisant les principes de l'analyse statistique des essais, une étude analytique de sensibilité a révélé que les para-mètres qui influencent le plus la réponse des composantes critiques des ponts du type MSC et MSSS sont : la rigidité effective des isolateurs sismiques, la rigidité des culées et l'écart entre le tablier et les culées, et aussi des variations dé la géométrie des différentes classes de ponts et la variabilité du contenu fréquentiel des tremblements de terre. Cette étude de sensibilité semble indiquer que la variation des propriétés de certains paramètres tels que l'amortissement structural, la masse du pont et l'angle de biais peut avoir un impact sur la réponse des ponts considérés et ces paramètres doivent être examinés attentivement lors de l'évaluation de la vulnérabilité sismique des portfolios de ponts de types MSC et MSSS. Une étude comparative pour évaluer l'impact de l'isolation sismique dans la réponse des composantes critiques des ponts en béton armé de types MSC et MSSS a été réalisée en utilisant une série de tremblements de terre artificiels compatibles avec un aléa sismique de risque uniforme avec une probabilité de dépassement de 2 % en 50 ans. L'utilisation d'isolateurs sismiques s'est montrée efficace pour la réduction de la demande en courbure dans les colonnes, mais elle a un impact négatif sur la demande en déformation au niveau des murs des culées, considérant qu'aucun dispositif spécial n'est mis en place pour tenir compte des écarts minimaux pour les ponts isolés. Des résultats d'essais réalisés sur des isolateurs sismiques carrés de différents facteurs de forme et tailles ont été utilisés pour tenir compte de l'incertitude dans leurs propriétés mécaniques. Des essais de stabilité ont été réalisés sur des isolateurs sismiques moyennement élancés et un modèle par éléments finis, calibré sur les résultats expérimentaux, a permis la détermination des états limites de capacité des isolateurs sismiques en caoutchouc naturel. La comparaison de la fragilité des composantes clés du système a été effectuée et les résultats révèlent que, grâce à l'isolation sismique, une diminution significative de la probabilité de dommage pour les colonnes et les fondations a été observée. Cependant, à cause du manque d'écart suffisant entre les tabliers et les murs en aile des culées, la probabilité de dommage de cette composante a été augmentée et elle contrôle la fragilité du système pour toutes les classes de ponts évaluées. Généralement, les ponts en béton armé sont plus vulnérables que les ponts en acier. Ceci est dû à la plus grande masse de la superstructure impliquée dans la réponse sismique. Les résultats de cette recherche peuvent être utilisés pour établir des cartes de risque régionales, comme aide à la priorisation pour la réhabilitation, et ils constituent la base des analyses des coûts et bénéfices pour la réhabilitation.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to examine how different county boards in Sweden work with ecological compensation in case of intrusion in wetland habitats. The study also aimed to see if their work differ from each other or if they use similar processing routines. The study was performed by using a questionnaire which was sent out to three county boards in Sweden (Västerbotten, Gävleborg and Skåne). The questionnaire contained questions about wetland presence and exploitation of wetlands in the county, if/ how the county boards applied ecological compensation in case of intrusion in wetland habitats and lastly the county board’s own perception of ecological compensation as a tool. The results showed that the use of ecological compensation was very limited, Skåne was the only one that has demanded ecological compensation in matters regarding intrusion in wetland habitats. This was due to several factors, including an overall low interest from businesses to exploit wetlands, the high value of wetlands which often led to rejections of the applications and also some difficulty to demand ecological compensation with the support by the law that was being used. However, all three county boards thought of ecological compensation as a good tool to use at intrusion in wetland habitats. In the future we might see a better use of ecological compensation due to the new legislative changes that are being discussed today and that would make it easier to demand compensation.

AbstractThe increasing implementation of digital technologies in organizations such as social media platforms is fundamentally transforming the nature of services encounters [1, 2], not least in the hospitality industry. This causes new ways of working for hotel employees, causing disruption in service routines and work tasks. There are few qualitative studies that are focusing on the hospitality industry and technostress. The present study focus on technostress among employees in an international hotel chain. Data have been collected in eight European countries over a period of seven years. The Person-Technology fit model is used in order to identify and analyze stressors and strains deriving from social media use. The results indicate that techno stressors such as work overload, work-life conflict, and changing algorithms creates negative stressors. The study makes a theoretical contribution to technostress research in the Information Systems research as well as the hospitality research field by uncovering negative stressors and strains created over time.

Abstract:
Most fixed automations in traditional manufacturing systems are not equipped to manage product variations efficiently. This paper presents a design and configuration for a machine-vision-equipped robotic packing cell that is capable of managing a wide range of product sizes. Product size information is gathered at an earlier stage in the manufacturing process and then transferred electronically to the robot cell. Different controllers are needed to manage robot cell functions related to incoming product, machine vision, robot control, robot manipulator, and multiple layers of safety control information. Each controller, due to the nature of its function, has different advantages in processing different data types. In order to achieve the highest possible robot manipulator utilization rate, the assignment of information processing among controllers needs to be thoughtfully planned, especially for the critical mathematical routines. Coordination and calibration between charged-coupled device (CCD) cameras and robots in existing manufacturing facilities are configured with considerations for building vibrations, lighting conditions, and signal processing assignments among the available devices. System efficiency is improved when the vision signal, robot logical signal, and robot manipulator signal processing units are running cohesively in parallel. The capability of the machine-vision-assisted robot end effector automatic path adjustment, to pick up and pack different sizes of products dynamically, allows a higher level of flexibility and efficiency. This paper describes a feasible design and configuration for an integrated machine vision robotic cell in a manufacturing system.

Abstract:
NASA’s future space exploration systems will include a highly complex Integrated Systems Health Management (ISHM) capability, which can detect, predict, isolate and respond to system and component failures in order to improve safety and maintainability. An ISHM system, as a whole, consists of several subsystems that monitor different components of a space mission. Due to the complex and multidisciplinary nature of designing ISHM, there seems to be a lack of formal methodologies to design an optimal (or near-optimal) ISHM for a given system of systems. In this research, we propose a new methodology to design and optimize ISHM as a distributed system with multiple interacting disciplines as well as multiple conflicting design objectives (i.e. Figures Of Merit or FOMs). This specialized multidisciplinary design approach can be used to optimize the effectiveness of ISHM systems for future NASA missions. We assume a hierarchical design protocol, where each subsystem communicates with other subsystems only in a top-down tree structure. At the top level, the overall performance of the mission consists of system-level variables, parameters, objectives, and constraints that are shared throughout the system and by all subsystems. Each subsystem will then comprise of these shared values in addition to those values that are specific to subsystems. As a specific case study, we take the example of designing an ISHM capability for X-34 reusable launch vehicle in two levels. The proposed approach, referred to as ISHM Multidisciplinary and Multiobjective System Analysis & Optimization (or ISHM MMSA&O), has a hierarchical structure to pass up or down shared values between the two levels with system-level and subsystem-level optimization routines.

Abstract:
Nanofluids are engineered colloids made of a base fluid and nanoparticles (1–100 nm). The presence of nanoparticles causes a dramatic enhancement of thermal conductivity, an increase of convective heat transfer coefficient as well as of viscosity. These features make nanofluids suitable for the most common industrial cooling and heat transportation applications, for example in the heat exchanger whose performances can be dramatically improved. In the nanofluid literature it is not really evident the mechanism inside the unusual heat transport properties. Several studies concerning nanofluids were carried out to provide experimental data for different configurations and to find models suitable with these experiments. Unfortunately measurements available in literature seem to be affected by a significant dispersion so that some experimental data are not coherent with the others. The issue is that the properties of nanofluid are influenced by many factors such as the nature of the components, the nanoparticle size, shape and concentration, the temperature, the pH of the solution, the presence of surfactants (used to stabilize suspensions), and the charge state of the particle in suspension. Not all of these quantities are usually measured in an experimental campaign and then sometimes it is not possible to make a comparison between different experimental data available in literature. For this reason, several models proposed to validate experimental measurement work well only within a small range of validity, in terms of temperature or concentration interval or nanoparticle type. In this paper we consider always the nanofluid as a single phase and we compared different models presented in literature for the following properties: density, specific heat, viscosity and thermal conductivity. (All this properties depend, at least, on the nanoparticles concentration in the base fluid). The water-Al2O3 nanofluid is considered since several models and experimental data are available for this kind of fluid. The numerical simulations have been made by using the CFD code Fluent (release 6.3), where the models have been implemented by using external routines. The natural convection in a horizontal tube heat exchanger has been simulated in a wide region of conditions for which experimental data are available. Different models proposed in literature for viscosity and thermal conductivity have been considered, and compared to empirical models obtained by means a regression from experimental data. Aim of this work is to set suitable models which allows reproducing nanofluid behavior with a good accuracy in a wide region of different conditions.

Full text
Abstract:
Lean, premixed combustion has been aggressively pursued in recent years because it offers a practical approach for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from gas turbines. However, lean premixed flames pose a greater risk of blowout. Studies on swirl and dump stabilized flames have shown that as a flame approaches blowout, distinctive precursors occur, such as pockets of localized extinctions and brief flame shape transitions to a thin ‘tornado’ configuration. For this study, both precursor types are detected using separate, dedicated optical sensors. Observations indicate that the tornado mode is part of the blowout process in a 127 mm long combustor and that a localized extinction precursor immediately precedes the tornado mode transition. Despite the causality, the statistics of tornado bursts and localized extinctions suggest a ‘memoryless’ Poisson process, where the occurrence of one event type does not influence the time until the next event of the same type. Localized extinctions have been used previously for blowout margin estimation, and are well suited for the purpose because the occurrence frequency increases with diminishing margin. However, the signals commonly used to detect localized extinction events are noisy due to the nature of the flame; thus, detection is prone to false alarms. Detecting tornado bursts, by comparison, is less ambiguous but such events occur too rarely for blowout mitigation applications. The shortcomings of both precursor detection methods can be addressed by combining observations of both precursor types in a meaningful manner. The presence of tornado bursts indicates that the flame is near blowout; this fact can be used to calibrate margin estimation routines based upon localized extinction. However, this approach would require two sensors since any one optical sensor cannot directly differentiate both precursor types. A single sensor approach can be developed whereby the causal relationship between the two precursor types is exploited. Local extinctions with longer duration times can potentially perturb the flame into an alternate flow configuration. The presence of these tornado ‘triggers’ manifest as an increase in the low frequency content of the chemiluminescence signal. A low pass filter with the appropriate cutoff frequency can differentiate between the tornado-triggering and benign, inconsequential localized extinctions. Therefore, the same signal that detects localized extinctions can be filtered to capably predict tornado mode shifts. This scheme will enable robust margin detection and minimize sensitivity to noise.

Abstract:
Using data from the latest edition of the Italian Time Use Survey (ITUS, 2013–2014), we analyse 31,309 childcare episodes to investigate the relationship betweenmultitasking (i.e., the combination of childcare with housework tasks) and parents’enjoyment of the time they spent on childcare, with a gender perspective. To this end,we rely on information from the episode enjoyment scores the respondents used toevaluate the degree of (un)pleasantness associated with the different activities theyrecorded in a daily diary. These episode enjoyment scores are a novelty in the ITUS,and provide a unique measure of the respondents’ momentary assessments of theirsubjective well-being. Our results highlight the existence of a negative relationshipbetween multitasking and parental well-being when spending time on childcare forboth mothers and fathers, regardless of the nature of the childcare activity theywere performing (i.e., routine or recreational childcare). Our findings add to priorresearch by shedding new light on the role of multitasking as a relevant contextualcharacteristic of care that affects the well-being of fathers, as well as of mothers.

Full text
Abstract:
The main recommendations of the panel report can be summarised under four key headings:  High quality, high impact research: the importance of archaeological science is reflected in work that explores issues connected to important contemporary topics, including: the demography of, the nature of movement of, and contact between peoples; societal resilience; living on the Atlantic edge of Europe; and coping with environmental and climatic change. A series of large-scale and integrated archaeological science projects are required to stimulate research into these important topics. To engage fully with Science in Scottish Archaeology iv these questions data of sufficient richness is required that is accessible, both within Scotland and internationally. The RCAHMS’ database Canmore provides a model for digital dissemination that should be built on.  Integration: Archaeological science should be involved early in the process of archaeological investigation and as a matter of routine. Resultant data needs to be securely stored, made accessible and the research results widely disseminated. Sources of advice and its communication must be developed and promoted to support work in the commercial, academic, research, governmental and 3rd sectors.  Knowledge exchange and transfer: knowledge, data and skills need to be routinely transferred and embedded across the archaeological sector. This will enable the archaeological science community to better work together, establishing routes of communication and improving infrastructure. Improvements should be made to communication between different groups including peers, press and the wider public. Mechanisms exist to enable the wider community to engage with, and to feed into, the development of the archaeological and scientific database and to engage with current debates. Projects involving the wider community in data generation should be encouraged and opportunities for public engagement should be pursued through, for example, National Science Week and Scottish Archaeology Month.  Networks and forums: A network of specialists should be promoted to aid collaboration, provide access to the best advice, and raise awareness of current work. This would be complemented by creating a series inter-disciplinary working groups, to discuss and articulate archaeological science issues. An online service to match people (i.e. specialist or student) to material (whether e.g. environmental sample, artefactual assemblage, or skeletal assemblage) is also recommended. An annual meeting should also be held at which researchers would be able to promote current and future work, and draw attention to materials available for analysis, and to specialists/students looking to work on particular assemblages or projects. Such meetings could be rolled into a suitable public outreach event.

Outcome Measure Harmonization and Data Infrastructure for Patient-Centered Outcomes Research in Depression: Report on Registry Configuration. Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), November 2020. http://dx.doi.org/10.23970/ahrqepcregistryoutcome.

Full text
Abstract:
Background: Major depressive disorder is a common mental disorder. Many pressing questions regarding depression treatment and outcomes exist, and new, efficient research approaches are necessary to address them. The primary objective of this project is to demonstrate the feasibility and value of capturing the harmonized depression outcome measures in the clinical workflow and submitting these data to different registries. Secondary objectives include demonstrating the feasibility of using these data for patient-centered outcomes research and developing a toolkit to support registries interested in sharing data with external researchers. Methods: The harmonized outcome measures for depression were developed through a multi-stakeholder, consensus-based process supported by AHRQ. For this implementation effort, the PRIME Registry, sponsored by the American Board of Family Medicine, and PsychPRO, sponsored by the American Psychiatric Association, each recruited 10 pilot sites from existing registry sites, added the harmonized measures to the registry platform, and submitted the project for institutional review board review Results: The process of preparing each registry to calculate the harmonized measures produced three major findings. First, some clarifications were necessary to make the harmonized definitions operational. Second, some data necessary for the measures are not routinely captured in structured form (e.g., PHQ-9 item 9, adverse events, suicide ideation and behavior, and mortality data). Finally, capture of the PHQ-9 requires operational and technical modifications. The next phase of this project will focus collection of the baseline and follow-up PHQ-9s, as well as other supporting clinical documentation. In parallel to the data collection process, the project team will examine the feasibility of using natural language processing to extract information on PHQ-9 scores, adverse events, and suicidal behaviors from unstructured data. Conclusion: This pilot project represents the first practical implementation of the harmonized outcome measures for depression. Initial results indicate that it is feasible to calculate the measures within the two patient registries, although some challenges were encountered related to the harmonized definition specifications, the availability of the necessary data, and the clinical workflow for collecting the PHQ-9. The ongoing data collection period, combined with an evaluation of the utility of natural language processing for these measures, will produce more information about the practical challenges, value, and burden of using the harmonized measures in the primary care and mental health setting. These findings will be useful to inform future implementations of the harmonized depression outcome measures.
