To do so, we introduce a new global dataset of geolocated Chinese grant- and loan-financed development projects from 2000 to 2014 and combine it with measures of spatial concentration based on remotely sensed data. We find that Chinese-financed transportation projects decentralize economic activity within regions, as measured by a spatial Gini coefficient, by 2.2 percentage points. The treatment effects are particularly strong in regions that are less developed, more urbanized, and located closer to cities.Wed Feb 05 11:14:18 CET 2025Education Sciences12Too Busy to Read, Too Important to Ignore: How Teachers Manage to Read Work-Related Literature in Their Day-to-Day Work142024development professional teacher Educational policy and research demand evidence-orientation from teachers in their professional activities. However, how teachers should integrate this requirement into their everyday work remains controversial. The resources available to teachers—above all time—play a central role. Teachers are a very heterogeneous professional group that differs at least in terms of the subjects they teach. Using teacher data from PISA 2022, this study explores: (1) whether mathematics teachers differ from others in reading work-related literature, (2) whether there are distinct types of mathematics teachers based on time investment during a regular workweek, (3) how these types differ in mental health, job satisfaction, collaboration, and training needs, including the respective role of reading work-related literature, and (4) what conclusions can be drawn for education policy and practice. Data from 2516 teachers in Germany were analyzed using K-means clustering, mean comparisons, and Chi2 tests to compare mathematics teachers with other subject teachers and examine time allocation with respect to the engagement in reading work-related literature. The results highlight the importance of categorizing teachers into specific subgroups and considering various factors affecting their teaching and commitment in professional development. For mathematics teachers, the findings offer initial insights into how their time investment impacts their ability to engage with work-related literature and the unique challenges they face. This has implications for their professional development and support.Tue Dec 17 11:38:12 CET 2024Unterrichtswissenschaft (Weinheim)161-85Die Entwicklung allgemeiner und berufsfachlicher Kompetenzen von Jugendlichen mit und ohne Migrationshintergrund im Übergangssystem unter den Bedingungen individueller Förderung.gedruckt; online2018Baden-Württemberg, Basic Individual Migrant Transition and background, competence development development, professional system Zusammenfassung In der vorliegenden Studie wurden Kompetenzentwicklungen in einem Experimental‑/Kontrollgruppendesign unter Einbezug der tradierten Schulformen des Übergangssystems (VAB, BEJ, 2BFS) und zwei neuen Schulversuchsformen (AVdual, BFPE) untersucht. Dabei sollte u. a. überprüft werden, inwieweit die Schulform, auch angesichts des speziellen Förderbedarfs der Jugendlichen mit Migrationshintergrund, Einfluss auf die Kompetenzentwicklung in den Basiskompetenzen (Lesen, Mathematik) und den berufsfachlichen Kompetenzen (Metall, Hauswirtschaft) hat. Die Ergebnisse zeigen im berufsfachlichen Bereich und in Mathematik, nicht zuletzt in den Versuchsschulen, Matthäuseffekte und im Vergleich mit der 2BFS Vorteile für die 2BFS. Im Globalvergleich der EG und KG ergeben sich keine signifikanten Unterschiede. Im Lesen ergeben sich überwiegend nur im unteren Terzil Leistungszuwächse, lediglich in der AVdual profitieren auch die Leistungsstarken. Jugendliche mit Migrationshintergrund münden in allen Fächern mit schwächeren Leistungen ein und entwickeln sich, abgesehen von Mathematik, unterdurchschnittlich.Mon Nov 25 11:38:19 CET 2024Developments in the Built Environment12100577Geometrical and Structural Design Development of an Active-Bending Structure from Natural Fibre Pultruded Profiles: The LightPRO Shell202024biomat guo geometrical dahy development Spyridonos natural 2024 active-bending gil profiles lightweight structure structural itke biocomposites pultruded architecture fibre The utilisation of bio-based materials has significantly increased in recent years, driven by a growing awareness of environmentally friendly alternatives in the construction industry. This study introduces innovative natural fibre pultruded profiles for load-bearing applications in structural systems. By employing pultrusion technology with flax fibres and customised plant-based matrix, linear and unidirectional biocomposite profiles were developed. These profiles were used in the creation of LightPRO Shell, an active-bending structure combining biocomposite profiles with a membrane outer skin, demonstrating their mechanical properties and suitability for such applications. The paper focuses on the geometrical and structural design development of the structure employing computational design tools for optimisation, ensuring design parameters and performance requirements were met. The final structure, a 10-m span doubly curved gridshell, features a continuous perimeter beam and consists of 44 profiles ranging from 6 to 12.5 m, showcasing the potential of natural fibre biocomposites as sustainable alternatives in construction.Mon Nov 25 11:38:18 CET 2024Developments in the Built Environment12100577Geometrical and Structural Design Development of an Active-Bending Structure from Natural Fibre Pultruded Profiles: The LightPRO Shell2020242024 Spyridonos active-bending architecture biocomposites biomat dahy development fibre geometrical gil guo itke lightweight natural profiles pultruded structural structure The utilisation of bio-based materials has significantly increased in recent years, driven by a growing awareness of environmentally friendly alternatives in the construction industry.

Despite being an indispensable resource for achieving a competitive advantage, managing customer knowledge is an enormous challenge that quickly becomes a complexity trap, unless targeted processes are available. From the literature, it is known that the target-oriented knowledge management systems are required to map knowledge structures, which help to improve the organizational knowledge lifecycle and advance organizational learning. In this article, we extend research on the intersection of knowledge management and customer integration by proposing a framework for the persistent representation of customer knowledge for product development. This allows companies to integrate customer knowledge into development processes, adding value, and also leading to organizational learning from the knowledge-based view. Knowledge management systems with respect to the customer knowledge are relatively unexplored, and the literature on knowledge management often lacks empirical data. Empirical data are collected through a case study of a leading commercial vehicle manufacturer to explore the link between customer integration and knowledge management. Practitioners are provided with a practice-oriented concept that offers guidance on how to structure a knowledge representation from the company’s point of view, aiming at achieving a competitive advantage.Mon May 27 08:58:38 CEST 2024StuttgartISBN: 3519024977 Series: Leitfäden der angewandten InformatikPrototyping komplexer {Softwaresysteme}: {Ansätze} zum {Prototyping} und {Vorschlag} einer {Vorgehensweise}Hochschulschrift1990Computer Development Prototyping.

This paper presents a comparison of two new timber building systems for multi-storey construction. The building systems, one solid and one hollow, are developed using an integrative approach that considers structural, fabrication and assembly requirements in the system design process.Wed Jan 25 14:57:05 CET 2023Journal of Building Engineering104972Structural development of a novel punctually supported timber building system for multi-storey construction582022chen development multi-storey wagner building knippers 2022 engineering amtsberg shah design krtschil structural itke from:petraheim construction timber menges orozco bechert connections Though capable of allowing multi-directional spans, timber products such as cross-laminated timber are primarily utilized uni-directionally using linear supports like walls or beam elements. Recent building designs increasingly show punctual supports but with narrow column grid layouts. Support beams and narrow grids limit the design space for multi-storey timber buildings. To overcome these design limits, an integrative design concept for punctually supported timber slabs is being developed that allows for large spans and irregular column layouts. Therefore, engineering methods are integrated in the architectural design of the building components, such as plates, columns, and their connections. The developed slab system combines hardwood and softwood materials in a sandwich construction. The plates have a tailored internal topology considering the force flow in the slab. A plate-to-plate connection design is evaluated through mechanical tests, which also serve as calibration for the global structural model. The research findings are validated through the design and construction of a large scale demonstrator: the ITECH Campus Lab.Tue Jan 17 12:47:48 CET 2023Journal of Building Engineering104972Structural development of a novel punctually supported timber building system for multi-storey construction5820222022 amtsberg bechert building chen connections construction design development engineering itke knippers krtschil menges multi-storey orozco shah structural timber wagner Though capable of allowing multi-directional spans, timber products such as cross-laminated timber are primarily utilized uni-directionally using linear supports like walls or beam elements.
