Full textAbstract:
A software prototyping environment called TransObj (TRANSaction and OBJect) is used for designing real-time Transaction-based Concurrent Software Systems (TCSS). In a TCSS design process, a software designer should perform both functional design and performance design. The designer should change his design view from a transaction-based paradigm to an object-based paradigm during the TCSS design process. Recognition of re-entrant functional objects and serially reusable functional objects in the TCSS should be required. TransObj includes the Stepwise Prototyping Method (SPM), and two SPM-based tools: Prolog-based TransObj (P-TransObj) and GPSS-based TransObj (G-TransObj). SPM enables the designer to advance both functional design and performance design for the TCSS prototype as controling the change of design view paradigms. P-TransObj mainly checks the prototype in a microscopic view on a personal computer. G-TransObj mainly checks the same prototype with a longer time span on a large-scale computer.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, autonomous robots play an important role in many aspects. Autonomous robots help improve efficiency and productivity, further reduce errors, and risk rates. Employee safety in high-risk work environments is also becoming one of the benefits of autonomous robots. When designing an autonomous robot, two paradigms can be implemented, i.e., planning and reactive paradigm. A distinct feature of the reactive paradigm is that all activities are carried out through behavior. The benefits of the reactive paradigm include can be applied in limited inexpensive hardware resources, low complexity, goal convergence, easy adaptation to changing situations, and a completely unfamiliar environment with unpredictable mobile obstacles. In this paper, the behavior-based reactive system of an autonomous mobile robot is designed to collect stuff objects. Negotiators have been proposed to combine several behaviors into a system that can be implemented in a variety of situations and cases. The results show that a negotiator can be implemented to realize a fully autonomous mobile robot based on the behavior of the reactive system.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the development of culturological studies methodological model of the socio-cultural phenomenon basedon the theory of systems principles. The analysisis based on a conceptual paradigm: Sociocultural object is a system consisting of separate parts, interconnected by certain relationships; the system is in continuous development and interaction with the external environment. The algorithm of system analysis contains: understanding the basic purpose and functions of the system; the choice of most optimal variant for partitioning system on components (subsystem, elements); introducing of the hierarchy of parts in the structure of the system; detection оf function of each subsystem and linkages between them; definition ofthe system connections with the environment (or other systems); study of the nature of the variability of the system, of its ability to development and adaptation to the environment. The classification of the sociocultural systems depends on the selected criteria, for example: on the nature of the items, their origin, the variability of propertie, the degree of difficulty, the attitude to the environment, etc. The article reveals the features of system analysis in cultural studies, as well as the potential of the theory of systems in the field of culturology for solving theoretical and practical problems. In the view of the synergetic model, the algorithm of the process of self-organization of the sociocultural system and the mechanisms governing this process are analyzed. The article shows that the self-organization of a sociocultural system is a nonlinear process that is a sequence of phase transitions from an equilibrium state through a nonequilibrium phase and dissipation to bifurcation and relaxation of the system. The process of intercultural interaction is considered through the prism of system analysis. The article shows that the openness of the socio-cultural system is a necessary and indispensable condition for intercultural interaction.

The shift in the Eco-Theocratic thinking in resolving oil pollution disputes at sea by tankers is intended as a new paradigm reconstruction that is more oriented to deep ecology with an ecoliteracy perspective towards a new ecodesign environment as an equal subject to human beings resisting anthropocentrism toward society sustainable sociaty and sustainable environmental development. This concept was built through an analysis of the shift in the perspective of philosophical figures from the organic paradigm of nature to the mechanistic paradigm of new nature and paradigms in looking at nature systemically, holistically and ecologically. This new ecoliteracy paradigm is analyzed through a system of democracy, ecocracy and theocracy with a measure of theology and paradigm of the Pancasila.

We discuss a computational system following the paradigm of distributed computing, which will allow us to simulate the epidemic propagation in random networks with large number of nodes up to one million. This paradigm consists of a server that delivers tasks to be carried out by client computers. When the task is finished, the client sends the obtained results to the server to be stored until all tasks are finished and then ready to be analysed. Finally, we show that this technique allows us to disclose the emergence of seasonal patterns in the respiratory syncytial virus transmission dynamics which do not appear neither in smaller systems nor in continuous systems.

Multirobot system architecture: environment representation and protocolsAn approach to the problem of interoperability in open and heterogeneous multirobot system is presented. It is based on the paradigm of Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and a generic representation of the environment. A robot, and generally a cognitive and intelligent device, is seen as a collection of its capabilities exposed as services. Several experimental protocols (for publishing, discovering, arranging, and executing the composite services) are proposed in order to assure the interoperability in the system. The environment representation, the description language for tasks and service interfaces definition, as well as the protocols constitute together the proposed information technology for automatic task accomplishment in an open heterogeneous multirobot system.

While biological scientists justify their research into human genetic engineering on the grounds of its 'therapeutic' potential, art - particularly the genre of science fiction (whose origins can be traced to Mary Shelly's famous tale, Frankenstein) - has acted on the social through culture to alert us to the perilous repercussions of usurping the role of the 'Creator of Life.' Now, at the dawn of the new millennium, the scientific project of mapping human DNA seemingly complete, the plight of the genetically-engineered human has become an intense focus of cultural critique. This doctoral project can be differentiated by its focus on aesthetic inquiry into the implications for expressions and representations of corporeality in relation to contemporary biomedical engineering. It has incorporated stem cell research that entails the manipulation and redirection of adult stem cell fates. The project takes the form of practical and theoretical investigations into cellular responses, and is framed within the matrices of both an innovative collaborative art/science research model and the evolving process of practice-led arts research. The exploratory research is discursively located within the system/environment paradigm. This allows for boundaries between the philosophic and scientific disciplines of: 1. epistemology, 2. ethics and aesthetics and 3. biology and technology to become nodes in a relational network associated with: 1. living and non-living, 2. sentience and consciousness and 3. conceptions of humanness. The cycle of practice-led research culminates in a body of work that began with a project entitled apoptosis, and developed into a three part quasi-scientific vital force series of installations. Each of these installations references nineteenth century scientific experimental processes employed in a search for the essential components of the human being itself. The series of interactive installations is discussed and the processual, pioneering research model, whereby the artist becomes the 'human guinea pig' is theoretically and visually articulated. In addition, time-lapse videomicrograph image data, collected through laboratory experiments is interpreted and recontextualised by the artist-researcher for representation in the vital force series of immersive installations. In these installations the implications of the issues raised by biomedical engineering processes are expressed as a very physical, tactile encounter. The aim is that these encounters engender a multi-sensory experience for the individual viewer, who, when immersed in the aesthetic, corporeal, interactive installations as a participant who completes the work through their engagement. Thus, the significance of the study lies in its re-privileging of the aesthetic experience of corporeality in the discourses surrounding genetic manipulation. This exegesis, like the doctoral project itself, is cyclical; following the inseparable processes of theory and practice through which the implications of the core research issues for a hybrid art/science practice are explored. It echoes the qualitative, post-positivist research methodology used throughout the project, which aimed to overcome the third person perspective through such strategies as interactivity and hybridity.

Charles, Kathryn L. "Towards the specification of a computer system to facilitate the learning of the partitive quotient fraction construct." Thesis, Queensland University of Technology, 1998. https://eprints.qut.edu.au/36571/1/36571_Digitised%20Thesis.pdf.
Full textAbstract:
A "Specification Document" was developed for the design of a constructivist, hypermedia learning environment (CHLE) to facilitate the knowledge construction of fractions. Specifications for the design of the CHLE were created from an investigation into children's knowledge construction of fractions. This entailed a review of the mathematical structure of fractions to build fraction tasks which were then used to investigate children's understandings of fractions.
The investigation was couched in the constructivist paradigm. Guba and Lincoln's (1989) methodology of constructivist inquiry incorporating the Hermeneutic Dialectic Circle was adopted. Clinical interviews, talk-aloud protocols and non-participant observations operated within the Hermeneutic Dialectic Circle. Findings from the investigation addressed: (i) teaching interventions, (ii) children's strategies for solving the fraction tasks, and (iii) the goodness of the analog objects used in the tasks.
Teaching interventions involved task sequencing and teaching episodes to assist children over impasses or gaps in their knowledge. Task sequencing moved from circular region models to rectangular region models and length models. One to six analog objects (representative of these three models) were shared between two, three, four, five and six people. Task sequencing was unique for each child and contingent upon each child's knowledge constructions of fractions. Findings indicated that children who did not possess sound knowledge of the partitive quotient fraction construct relied heavily upon their knowledge of the part-whole fraction construct to quantify each person's share. In most cases, this knowledge was fractured and incomplete, therefore most teaching episodes focused on partwhole notions.
Children employed four categories of strategies to solve the tasks. These strategies were categorised according to their ability to: (i) generate fair shares, (ii) facilitate the accurate quantification of each of the shares, and (iii) facilitate a conceptual mapping between the concrete activity and the partitive quotient fraction construct. Category 1 strategies met all three criteria. Category 2 strategies met only the first two criteria. Category 3 strategies met only the first criteria and Category 4 strategies met none of the criteria.
The goodness of the analog objects was judged according to three criteria: (i) ecological validity, (ii) abstract ability, and (iii) ease of partitioning. Findings revealed that the icecream bar (rectangular region model) and the licorice strap (length model) were easier to partition than the pizza and apple pie (circular region models) but lacked ecological validity. The pizza and apple pie had ecological validity but were difficult to partition. The cake ("wide" rectangular region model) did not have ease of partitioning because it supported both vertical and horizontal partitioning. The circular region models of the pikelet and the pancake did not satisfy any of the criteria and were not considered suitable analogs for inclusion in the design of the CHLE.
The findings from the teaching interventions and strategies were translated into "Content" specifications, and the findings from the goodness of the analog objects were translated into "Context" specifications. These two sets of specifications informed the Specification Document for the design of the CHLE. Specifications were presented as: (i) scenarios which correlated instructional objectives of the CHLE with "WHAT" the children should do to meet these instructional objectives and "HOW" the system should address the "WHAT", (ii) interface design as it applies to Object Orientated User Interfaces (OOUI's), and (iii) vignettes which are supported with accompanying screens to indicate screen layout, typography, language, graphics, illustrations, and the look, feel and operation of the system. The CHLE was designed to embody realistic contexts in which children construct their own knowledge as a consequence of their experiences with the fraction tasks.

Full textAbstract:
Transportation is a key component of the urban realm due to its high fossil fuel consumption, GHG emissions and pollution generation (among other negative externalities) that have been aggravated by an individual motor vehicle-driven society. In order to achieve a balanced urban growth for the future, the transportation paradigm requires a complete shift that will depend upon a change on people’s behaviors and perceptions about mobility. Being the biggest, most populous city of Brazil and the western hemisphere, as well as the financial motor behind the country’s economy, São Paulo currently faces a very serious transportation problem: an extremely high car per capita ratio in conjunction with a deficient public transport network. Furthermore, socioeconomic disparities exert an additional pressure to this dilemma, limiting the access to mobility and deeply embedding the car from a cultural standpoint. Given its prominence, São Paulo is the ideal city to evaluate how specific cultural and socio- spatial niches can steer a cultural paradigm shift that could ultimately trigger a socio-technical transition towards sustainability. In this case study, the role of policies, technology, and infrastructure as policymaking instruments are analyzed in the context of urban spaces in emergent nations, where political and economic structures are strong social determinants. Moreover, this study has shown how these instruments could not only produce a new set of mobility practices (or a new transportation culture) but also the creation of an equitable and thriving urban environment.

Le but principal de la thèse de doctorat, c'est d'élaborer diverses méthodologies quantitatives et qualitatives, méthodes et outils de travail pour améliorer le processus de mise en oeuvre, l'intégration et le fonctionnement qui définissent le système de gestion de l'environnement au niveau de l'organisation. Pour atteindre l'objectif visé par la thèse, on a démarré une recherche, basée sur la méthode du questionnaire, sur un échantillon de plus de 70 organisations, principalement des organisations industrielles du secteur NE de la Roumanie, au niveau de 178 responsables. Les contributions théoriques et pratiques les plus importantes apportées sont les suivantes: (1) la clarification et la synthèse des facteurs potentiels les plus importants qui ont un caractère général et applicable pour toute organisation, des facteurs qui peuvent agir comme des " obstacles " dans le processus de mise en oeuvre du système de gestion environnementale (2) le développement et la proposition d'un modèle théorique SME - conformément à la norme ISO 14001, comme processus complexe, cette approche scientifique est unique et originale au niveau de la littérature spécialisée consultée; (3) le développement d'un cadre conceptuel et des méthodologies de recherche cohérentes qui permettent l'étude quantitative et qualitative de la relation entre l'orientation de l'organisation en matière de gestion de l'environnement et la qualité de la mise en oeuvre du SME, (4) le développement d'un modèle systématique pour améliorer le processus de prise de décision environnementale, (5) le développement d'une méthodologie d'enquête sur l'importance du système de connaissance de l'environnement, en raison de son influence sur la qualité de la prise de décision environnementale et d'une méthode simple pour quantifier le degré d'importance de ce système; (6) le développement de modèle montrant: (a) l'architecture de l'ensemble des influences entre les variables qui décrivent la mise en oeuvre du SME et de la qualité de l'intégration sous certaines conditions, (b) l'estimation des corrélations entre les facteurs spécifiques à l'orientation de l'organisation en ce qui concerne la gestion de l'environnement et la variabilité synthétique / globale qui définit la qualité de mise en oeuvre / intégration du EMS; (7) la proposition et le développement de solutions pratiques pour améliorer la qualité de la mise en oeuvre du SME et d'intégration au niveau des organisations du NE de la Roumanie; (8) le développement d'un cadre conceptuel et une méthodologie cohérente de recherche, qui donnent la possibilité d'évaluer l'amélioration de la mise en oeuvre du SME et la qualité de l'opération par la transformation de son architecture basée sur la paradigme de la philosophie fractale<br>Although the literature presents many works that analyze the Environmetal management system (EMS) at the organization level, very few focus on the quality of integration of this system (all integrated environmental practices), quality analyzed through the factors that influence it and also characterizes the organization's orientation to environmental issues. The main purpose of the doctoral theses it's to elaborate various quantitative and qualitative methodologies, methods and work tools to improve implementation, integration ans functioning process that define the Environmental Management System at the organizational level. In order to achieve the intended purpose of theses, it was conducted a research, based on questionnaire method, with a sample of over 70 organizations mainly industrial organization from N-E of Romania, at the level of 178 managers. Most important practical and theoretical contributions made, are: (1) clarification and the synthesis of the most important potential factors tant have a general character unaniously valid for any organization, factors that may act as a " barriers " in the implementing process of an Enviromental managmenent system; (2) development and proposal of EMS theoretical model - in accordance with ISO 14001, as a complex process; this scientific approach is unique and original in the specialized littrature level consulted; (3) development of a conceptual framework ans a coherent research methodologies that allow quantitative and qualitative study of the relationship between the organization orientation in environmental management issues and EMS implementation quality; (4) Development of a systematic model to improve environmental decision making process; (5) development of an investigation methodology of the environmental knowledge system importance due to its influence on the quality of the environmental decision and of a simple method to quantify the importance level of this system; (6) development of models showing: (a) architecture of all influences between variables that describe the organization's orientation regarding environmental management and variables that describe EMS implementation and integration quality under certain conditions; (b) estimation of correlations between organization's orientation synthetic variable/ global that defines EMS implementation/ integration quality; (7) proposal and development of practical solutions to improve the quality of EMS implementation and integration at N-E Romania organizations level; (8) development of a conceptual framework and a coherent research methodology, that allow possibility to evaluate improvement of EMS implementation and operation quality by transforming and adapting its architecture based on fractal philosophy paradigm

Full textAbstract:
This study is centred on transformation towards sustainable living. It investigated how global education prepares learners to live a sustainable lifestyle. To explore this area, the concept of sustainability, global education and transformative learning were critically examined, with a view to finding their relationships. Literature on sustainability, transformative learning and global education were reviewed to find out how their relationships impact on international students learning about sustainable living. The focus of the thesis is on environmental sustainability, especially through management of anthropogenic factors. The mixed methods research, involving the collection of quantitative and qualitative data was employed for the study. Quantitative data collection was done using survey instruments while qualitative data collection was through face-to-face interview of research participants. Each set of data was collected and analysed separately. The outcomes of the analysis of the two sets of data were integrated at the stage of discussion of findings. The aim of the study was to find out whether global education transforms learners towards sustainable living. Findings from the study showed that global education field transforms students towards sustainable living. Evidence from the study suggests that global education help students to acquire the skills and knowledge required for living sustainably. Also, the actions and behaviours of international students were found to be influenced more towards sustainable lifestyle than those from the host country. The degree of transformation students experience was measured by attitude change, intention to change and actions of students toward the environment. This study contributed to the conceptual understanding of the relationship between global education and transformation of learners towards sustainable living. It made both theoretical and practical contribution to knowledge. The findings from the study will be of benefit to different impact groups. These groups include business organisations, policy makers in government, educational institutions, and individuals.

Este trabalho descreve o desenvolvimento de um ambiente integrado para modelagem, simulação e implementação de sistemas de tempo real distribuídos (STRD), especialmente aqueles voltados para automação industrial. O ambiente proposto faz use do paradigma de orientação a objetos, sendo baseado no ambiente SIMOO, desenvolvido no Âmbito de uma tese de doutorado no CPGCC. A motivação para a realizado deste trabalho surgiu através de alguns estudos de caso, que constataram que as ferramentas CASE existentes não incorporavam todas as propriedades desejadas em termos de suporte para modelagem e implementação dos STRD. Dentre estas propriedades, destacam-se a capacidade para especificação de restrições temporais, o suporte a simulação do modelo desenvolvido e a capacidade de geração automática de código para a aplicação final. O ambiente proposto tem por objetivo suprir as carências observadas, adicionando ao ambiente SIMOO original facilidades para a descrição de restrições temporais e facilidades para descried° de comportamento do modelo desenvolvido. Além disso, é incorporada ao ambiente a capacidade de geração automática de código em uma linguagem que suporte as restrições temporais descritas no modelo. Este trabalho foi desenvolvido no contexto do projeto ADOORATA (A Distributed Object-Oriented Architecture for Real-Time Automation), como parte do Programa de Cooperação entre Brasil e Alemanha, financiado pelas agencias CNPq e DLR.<br>This work describes the development of an integrated object-oriented environment for modeling, simulation and implementation of distributed real-time systems (DRTS), especially those conceived for industrial automation. This work extends the SIMOO environment, conceived as part of a Ph.D. thesis in the CPGCC at Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul. Its motivation began during some case studies, which concluded that existing CASE tools don't incorporate all the desired features for modeling and implementation of DRTS. Among these features, capacities to specify timing constraints, to simulate/animate the model and to automatically generate the final application code are highlighted. The proposed environment intends to overcome these lacks, adding to the original environment features for the specification of timing requirements and the application behavior, allowing the creation of an object-oriented simulation model. Additionally it automatically generates the application executable code, which makes use of the incorporated specifications to guarantee its correctness. This work has been developed within the context of the ADOORATA project (A Distributed Object-Oriented Architecture for Real-Time Automation), as part of the Brazilian-German Cooperation Program, sponsored by CNPq and DLR.

The book provides a new conceptual framework to explain the interaction of complex systems, specifically humans and their environment. It proposes that human physiology and the environment do not “connect” with each other in a direct, unidirectional manner, like a beaker pouring water into a cup. Rather, the authors propose the Biodynamic Interface Conjecture with the central axiom that complex systems cannot interact directly or exist in isolation due to temporally embedded functional interdependencies within and between systems. The authors propose that human physiology and the environment contribute to the formation of an interface, and by doing so they give rise to an intermediary that guides the interaction by letting some influences pass between the systems while restricting others. This proposition counters many structural approaches that assume that complex systems, such as the environment and humans, can transfer information directly between them while remaining discrete entities. Although developed for environmental health sciences, the conjecture has broader implications for the study of complex system interactions across various levels of organization, and the central role of time and temporal dynamics in system-to-system information exchange. This conjecture also argues against causal paradigms that (incorrectly) assume that systems are distinct entities interacting directly and ignore boundary conditions, and organizational levels, and complexity inherent in biological and environmental systems.

AbstractQuantum annealing aims to provide a faster method than classical computing for finding the minima of complicated functions, and it has created increasing interest in the relaxation dynamics of quantum spin systems. Moreover, problems in quantum annealing caused by first-order phase transitions can be reduced via appropriate temporal adjustment of control parameters, and in order to do this optimally, it is helpful to predict the evolution of the system at the level of macroscopic observables. Solving the dynamics of quantum ensembles is nontrivial, requiring modeling of both the quantum spin system and its interaction with the environment with which it exchanges energy. An alternative approach to the dynamics of quantum spin systems was proposed about a decade ago. It involves creating stochastic proxy dynamics via the Suzuki-Trotter mapping of the quantum ensemble to a classical one (the quantum Monte Carlo method), and deriving from this new dynamics closed macroscopic equations for macroscopic observables using the dynamical replica method. In this chapter, we give an introduction to this approach, focusing on the ideas and assumptions behind the derivations, and on its potential and limitations.

AbstractDespite a growing scholarly interest internationally in the notion of earth system governance (ESG), the state-of-the-art of how the notion interacts in and with Indonesian academia has not been reviewed. The ESG notion is a paradigm that warrants the broader context of the Anthropocene and human-induced transformations of the entire earth system. Considering that Indonesia is one of the most important scholarly and empirical sites of investigation in Asia-Pacific, understanding the existing development of environmental governance with ESG can inform the corpus theory of sustainable futures. What does the notion mean in Indonesian academia? Which fields, disciplines, and networks have engaged with the notion? What are the alternative practices and directions of ESG emerging from and within the Indonesian academia? The chapter aims to offer an initial investigation by conducting a literature review with the following objectives: (1) to trace and evaluate the intellectual progression of the field of ESG from and within Indonesian academia, (2) to contextualize the theory and framework of ESG in the context of Indonesian academia, and (3) to identify gaps and offer reflections for future research. The chapter will review academic literature from the international database of Scopus and the Indonesian recognized national database of Garuda of the conceptual debates and discussion of ESG in the context of Indonesia. The chapter ultimately provides a summary, synthesis, and critical evaluation of the current body of knowledge about the ESG, within the broader context of environmental governance, in Indonesian academia and suggests future research.

AbstractNutrient inputs play a critical role in raising crops and livestock for food security, human nutrition and other uses in the bioeconomy. Their production and management must change so as to nourish crops, reduce harmful environmental impacts caused by nutrient losses and contribute to the restoration of soil health more effectively. A new paradigm for plant nutrition follows a food system approach in which multiple socioeconomic, environmental and health objectives must be achieved. The coming 10–20 years will be most critical for making the transition to a global food system in which all stakeholders look at food and nutrients in a holistic manner, including in regard to their hidden environmental, health and socioeconomic costs. Consumers, as well as governments and other stakeholders, need to support such a transformation, because farmers and the industry supporting them will not be able to implement all of the required actions alone. The outcome of this transformation will be a new societal plant nutrition optimum, rather than a purely economic optimum. The new nutrient economy will become an integral component of a low-carbon emission, environment-friendly and circular economy, supporting the food and nutrition requirements of a rising global population and improving the income and livelihood of farmers worldwide.

AbstractIndustry 4.0 is affecting almost every area of the industry, and as a result of its effects, systems, technologies, and the way information is processed are being transformed. Its typical feature is transmission of information in the system environment provided by the Internet of Things. All information should be stored and shared through cloud computing. As a result, access to information should be unrestricted. This chapter is focused on Computational Intelligence (CI) in the context of Industry 4.0. Each subchapter provides fundamentals of some paradigms, followed by the use of CI in the concrete paradigm. The ending part of the chapter is focused on connecting theory and practice in a case study, which lists industrial parts recognition by convolutional neural networks for assisted assembly.

AbstractUrban environmental degradation and disasters are leading to a paradigm shift towards implementing regenerative and resilient concepts on all scales. The interrelationship between microscopic and macroscopic elements of the built environment must be considered from pre-design through to building handover to avoid future disasters and environmental degradation in urban areas. This paper aims to identify synergies between the resilient and regenerative design activities needed on all scales and dimensions. The developed conceptual framework represents the context in which the study is conducted. Cooperation strategies on different scales are required to mitigate the climate crisis by reflecting the dimension of increasing energy consumption requirements from materials to the urban built environment in cities. The methods used to answer the research questions are data analysis from literature and trend comparisons at local, regional and global levels. New approaches and interrelationships were found by testing hypotheses in different design traditions and socio-economic situations. Research findings clearly showed that a new concept has to be created as a cooperative system of discrete disconnected parts in scale-jumping design based on the synergies from regenerative and resilience design and practice. This paper concludes with new concept design principles that need to be implemented in daily life to support the creation of resilient and regenerative solutions for the built environment.

AbstractScience, technology and innovation (STI), targeted to solve both generic and location-specific challenges, are key drivers for transforming agri-food systems. These can transform the sustenance and low return livelihood to a profitable and respectable occupation for smallholder farmers, while motivating, attracting and empowering youth and women in agriculture. A paradigm shift is needed to: i) increase productivity, profitability, inclusiveness and efficiency of human engagement, ii) achieve complete nutrition security, iii) address the challenges of climate change, iv) adopt environment-friendly sustainable practices, and v) establish efficient farmer-market linkages. To achieve the desired goals, this chapter highlights effective pathways for: i) scaling innovations by combining ITK, conventional methods, and adopting NextGen cutting edge technologies evolved nationally or internationally, ii) enduring STI through a Gold Class education system, and iii) leveraging strong public-private partnership. The chapter also recommends increased investments in R&D, urgent need for enabling policy environment for scaling innovations and suggests clear transformative action points.

AbstractUsing TIMSS 2015 data and a person-centred approach, the chapter focuses on academically resilient students in Norway and Sweden in grade eight. The self-belief profiles of academically resilient students compared with the nonresilient groups (i.e., low SES/low achievement, high SES/low achievement and high SES/high achievement) are investigated. Further, we evaluated the characteristics of the classroom environment for each of the profiles. After accounting for student SES and achievement, personal characteristics, advantages and disadvantages in the classroom and the school environment, we identified distinctive student profiles that might be more prone to risk. In the context of the equality–inequality paradigm, recognition of these profiles can strengthen the possibility to reduce the gap in battling different aspects of inequality across social groups. Concurrently, although we distinguish the same student groups across Sweden and Norway, their distribution within the countries differs. The latter results contribute to the ongoing debate on the dissolution/unification of the Nordic model, especially regarding particular trends within the Swedish education system.

Full textAbstract:
A recognition paradigm is described here which has several characteristics thought to be important in the development of a general machine vision system. A general machine vision system is one which has capabilities similar to human vision. One of the principal features of the paradigm described here is that it learns to recognize objects by seeing them instead of requiring explicit models or rules which have been programmed into the computer. A vision system based upon this principle would be able to interpret visual scenes which fall within its realm of previous experience. Such is also the case in human vision. One can argue, in fact, that development of a general machine vision system will require that the visual memory be learned from its environment rather than programmed by a human. This point has recently been discussed by Haralick and Ulmann.1

This study reports a new simulation paradigm devised to simulate manufacturing systems in its real operational stage. The objective manufacturing system is supposed to be under ubiquitous environment; in other words, all machines and equipments constituting a real manufacturing system are all equipped with intelligent devices and are connected to an information network. In the framework of the proposed simulation method, the simulation model is not built on one computer as is done in the conventional simulation, but is built on the network by integrating the intelligent devices. Each devise with properly embedded simulation functions plays as a simulation agent representing a resource or an entity in the conventional simulation model. This paper discusses the simulation functions required to each device to form a discrete event simulation system. The time management of the simulation and the event processes in the new simulation paradigm are described.

Full textAbstract:
Controls systems are an increasingly important component of turbine-engine system technology. However, as engines become more capable, the control system itself becomes ever more constrained by the inherent environmental conditions of the engine; a relationship forced by the continued reliance on commercial electronics technology. A revolutionary change in the architecture of turbine-engine control systems will change this paradigm and result in fully distributed engine control systems. Initially, the revolution will begin with the physical decoupling of the control law processor from the hostile engine environment using a digital communications network and engine-mounted high temperature electronics requiring little or no thermal control. The vision for the evolution of distributed control capability from this initial implementation to fully distributed and embedded control is described in a roadmap and implementation plan. The development of this plan is the result of discussions with government and industry stakeholders.

The future of the national economy is based on the green economy because after the multitude of discussions it was concluded that this concept is essential in order to achieve the proposed objectives. The "Green economy" is meant to foster sustainable development, especially in the long run, by creating an enabling environment through research, innovation and a knowledge-driven concern. At the basis of the transition to a "green economy" is the practice of a typology of economy based exclusively on policies and investments, the latter linking economic development, health, biodiversity and last but not least climate change, both long-term and long-term medium. As at present the practiced economic system is in full collapse, it was decided that it is necessary to rethink it from all points of view. So, the transition to the green economy is considered as the main solution that aims to adapt the economy and with it its evolution and new challenges that arise globally, by increasingly integrating the environment into the paradigm that refers to lasting development.

Modelling artificial life has been an issue explored for several decades. However, science continues to surprise us with novel approaches to this problem. The aim of this paper is to innovative model a simplified living environment based on the agent paradigm and genetic algorithms. This paper also proposes a novel way of defining agent systems and artificial life embedded in a genetic approach. In the modelled and implemented environment there is one species of fauna and a simple species of flora that serves as food for the fauna. The fauna is implemented using agents inscribed in a genetic representation. The experimental part of the work includes calls to the simulator and the study of the dependencies resulting from the simulation mechanisms.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Virtual reality systems have been developed over the last few years to provide real time, immersive, three dimensional rendering. There have been efforts to utilize virtual reality and other similar approaches for design (Jones, 1996); however, limited information has been placed in the open literature describing the development of systems used specifically for the design of complex products, like naval vessels. As added motivation, features have been widely accepted as a useful paradigm for design purposes, but experience with feature based design in a virtual reality environment has also been limited. With these issues in mind, this paper was written to describe an ongoing research project that focuses on the demonstration of feature based design in a virtual reality environment for submarine design. To support this development, progress to date using the GROTTO, a CAVE like system, at the Naval Research Laboratory is reported. A “spin-off” of the research to web based collaboration is reported, an outline of projected system architecture is provided, and conclusions are drawn regarding the development of the virtual system.

This paper presents a comparative analysis of Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and Mobile Agent (MA) paradigm used to implement the information storage and retrieval system in a distributed computing environment. Simulation program was developed to measure the performance of MA and RMI using object oriented programming language (the following parameters: search time, fault tolerance and invocation cost. We used search time, fault tolerance and invocation cost as performance parameters in this research work. Experimental results showed that Mobile Agent paradigm offers a superior performance compared to RMI paradigm, offers fast computational speed; procure lower invocation cost by making local invocations instead of remote invocations over the network, thereby reducing network bandwidth. Finally MA has a better fault tolerance than the RMI. With a probability of failure pr = 0.1, mobile agent degrades gracefully.

Full textAbstract:
With the rapid advancement of computing technology, the paradigm of learning has been changed from the classroom environment to the web environment. The support software for e-learning is key to implementing such a web-based learning paradigm. In this paper, a general approach to construct an elearning software system is proposed and described. The approach is based on an analogy between e-learning and mass customization product design. In the case of mass customization product design, customers can participate in a product design and realization process regardless of temporal and spatial restrictions. In the case of e-learning, learners can access a virtual teaching center at any time and at any place. This analogy has further led us to exploit fruitful developments in computer software for mass customization, in particular, a so called web-based configuration design system through the constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) approach. This paper discusses both conceptual development and implementation. An illustration is given for implementation.

Abstract This paper presents a summary of research into the development and implementation of a domain independent, computer-based model for the conceptual design of complex mechanical systems (Ouellette, 1992). The creation of such a design model includes the integration of four major concepts: (1) The use of a graphical display for visualizing the conceptual design attributes; (2) The proper representation of the complex data and diverse knowledge required to design the system; (3) The integration of quality design methods into the conceptual design; and (4) The modeling of the conceptual design process as a mapping between functions and forms. Using the design of an automobile as a case study, a design environment was created which consisted of a distributed problem solving paradigm and a parametric graphical display. The requirements of the design problem with respect to data representation and design processing were evaluated and a process model was specified. The resulting vehicle design system consists of a tight integration between a blackboard system and a parametric design system. The completed system allows a designer to view graphical representations of the candidate conceptual designs that the blackboard system generates.

Under the current legal paradigm, the rights to privacy and data protection provide natural persons with subjective rights to protect their private interests, such as related to human dignity, individual autonomy and personal freedom. In principle, when data processing is based on non-personal or aggregated data or when such data pro- cesses have an impact on societal, rather than individual interests, citizens cannot rely on these rights. Although this legal paradigm has worked well for decades, it is increasingly put under pressure because Big Data processes are typically based indis- criminate rather than targeted data collection, because the high volumes of data are processed on an aggregated rather than a personal level and because the policies and decisions based on the statistical correlations found through algorithmic analytics are mostly addressed at large groups or society as a whole rather than specific individuals. This means that large parts of the data-driven environment are currently left unregu- lated and that individuals are often unable to rely on their fundamental rights when addressing the more systemic effects of Big Data processes. This article will discuss how this tension might be relieved by turning to the notion ‘quality of life’, which has the potential of becoming the new standard for the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) when dealing with privacy related cases.

Designing a mobile-oriented environment for professional and practical training requires determining the stable (fundamental) and mobile (technological) components of its content and determining the appropriate model for specialist training. In order to determine the ratio of fundamental and technological in the content of software engineers’ training, a retrospective analysis of the first model of training software engineers developed in the early 1970s was carried out and its compliance with the current state of software engineering development as a field of knowledge and a new the standard of higher education in Ukraine, specialty 121 “Software Engineering”. It is determined that the consistency and scalability inherent in the historically first training program are largely consistent with the ideas of evolutionary software design. An analysis of its content also provided an opportunity to identify the links between the training for software engineers and training for computer science, computer engineering, cybersecurity, information systems and technologies. It has been established that the fundamental core of software engineers’ training should ensure that students achieve such leading learning outcomes: to know and put into practice the fundamental concepts, paradigms and basic principles of the functioning of language, instrumental and computational tools for software engineering; know and apply the appropriate mathematical concepts, domain methods, system and object-oriented analysis and mathematical modeling for software development; put into practice the software tools for domain analysis, design, testing, visualization, measurement and documentation of software. It is shown that the formation of the relevant competencies of future software engineers must be carried out in the training of all disciplines of professional and practical training.

The Prediction of Daily Intake in Grazing Cattle Using Methodologies, Models and Experiments that Integrate Pasture Structure and Ingestive Behavior. United States Department of Agriculture, July 1994. http://dx.doi.org/10.32747/1994.7568789.bard.
Full textAbstract:
This project addressed the prediction of daily intake in grazing cattle using methodologies, models and experiments that integrate pasture structure and ingestive behavior. The broad objective was to develop concepts of optimal foraging that predicted ingestive behavior and instantaneous intake rate in single and multi-patch environments and extend them to the greater scales of time and space required to predict daily intake. Specific objectives included: to determine how sward structure affects the shape of patch depletion curves, to determine if the basic components of ingestive behavior of animals in groups differs from animals alone, and to evaluate and modify our existing models of foraging behavior and heterogeneity to incorporate larger scales of time and space. Patch depletion was found to be predominantly by horizon, with a significant decline in bite weight during horizon depletion. This decline derives from bite overlap, and is more pronounced on taller swards. These results were successfully predicted by a simple bite placement simulator. At greater spatial scales, patch selection was aimed at maximizing daily digestible intake, with the between patch search pattern being non-random. The processes of selecting a feeding station and foraging at a feeding station are fundamentally different. The marginal value theorem may not be the most appropriate paradigm for predicting residence time at a feeding station. Basic components of ingestive behavior were unaffected by the presence of other animals. Our results contribute to animal production systems by improving our understanding of the foraging process, by identifying the key sward parameters that determine intake rate and by improving existing conceptual and quantitative models of foraging behavior across spatial and temporal scales.
