Abstract:
This paper examined whether a two-year change in fitness, body mass index (BMI) or the additive effect of change in fitness and BMI were associated with change in cardiometabolic risk factors among youth. Cardiometabolic risk factors, BMI group (normal weight, overweight or obese) were obtained from participants at the start of 6th grade and end of 8th grade. Shuttle run laps were assessed and categorized in quintiles at both time points. Regression models were used to examine whether changes in obesity, fitness or the additive effect of change in BMI and fitness were associated with change in risk factors. There was strong evidence (p < .001) that change in BMI was associated with change in cardiometabolic risk factors. There was weaker evidence of a fitness effect, with some evidence that change in fitness was associated with change in total cholesterol, HDL-C, LDL-C and clustered risk score among boys, as well as HDL-C among girls. Male HDL-C was the only model for which there was some evidence of a BMI, fitness and additive BMI*fitness effect. Changing body mass is central to the reduction of youth cardiometabolic risk. Fitness effects were negligible once change in body mass had been taken into account.

Abstract:
Abstract Background: Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias affect one in ten Americans age 65y and older. Considering the rapid growth of the aging population, identifying modifiable risk factors for cognitive decline is a public health priority. Although weight change later in life is common, its impact on cognition is unclear. The objective of this study was to examine the relationship between change in body mass index (BMI) and cognition among older adults. Methods: The Health, Aging, and Body Composition Study was a prospective study of community-dwelling adults ages 70-79y at baseline (n=3,075; 49% males, 42% African-American). Using baseline and year 10 visit data, we evaluated change in BMI and change in cognition measured by the Modified Mini-Mental Status Exam (3MS) using a linear mixed model. Change in 3MS scores were regressed on changes in time-varying BMI after controlling for blood pressure, glucose, cholesterol, race, education, biological sex, and APOE genotype. Results: At baseline, average BMI was 27.4 (n=3075) and average 3MS was 90.1 (n=3061). At year 10, average BMI was 27.1 (n=1600) and average 3MS was 88.6 (n=1598). Higher BMI was associated with less cognitive decline (ceteris paribus). This finding suggests that weight gain is associated with cognitive maintenance. The effect of an increase in BMI was largest for those underweight at baseline. Conclusion: Among underweight older adults, an increase in BMI may be desirable for maintaining cognition. Although more research is needed, these findings suggest the need for interventions to prevent unintentional weight loss among older adults.

Abstract:
(1) Background: people who migrate from low-to high-income countries are at an increased risk of weight gain, and excess weight is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Few studies have quantified the changes in body mass index (BMI) pre- and post-migration among African immigrants. We assessed changes in BMI pre- and post-migration from Africa to the United States (US) and its associated risk factors. (2) Methods: we performed a cross-sectional analysis of the African Immigrant Health Study, which included African immigrants in the Baltimore-Washington District of the Columbia metropolitan area. BMI category change was the outcome of interest, categorized as healthy BMI change or maintenance, unhealthy BMI maintenance, and unhealthy BMI change. We explored the following potential factors of BMI change: sex, age at migration, percentage of life in the US, perceived stress, and reasons for migration. We performed multinomial logistic regression adjusting for employment, education, income, and marital status. (3) Results: we included 300 participants with a mean (±SD) current age of 47 (±11.4) years, and 56% were female. Overall, 14% of the participants had a healthy BMI change or maintenance, 22% had an unhealthy BMI maintenance, and 64% had an unhealthy BMI change. Each year of age at immigration was associated with a 7% higher relative risk of maintaining an unhealthy BMI (relative risk ratio [RRR]: 1.07; 95% CI 1.01, 1.14), and compared to men, females had two times the relative risk of unhealthy BMI maintenance (RRR: 2.67; 95% CI 1.02, 7.02). Spending 25% or more of life in the US was associated with a 3-fold higher risk of unhealthy BMI change (RRR: 2.78; 95% CI 1.1, 6.97). (4) Conclusions: the age at immigration, the reason for migration, and length of residence in the US could inform health promotion interventions that are targeted at preventing unhealthy weight gain among African immigrants.

Abstract:
We evaluated the effects of baseline body mass index (BMI) and its changes over 4 years on all-cause mortality in Korean population. We analyzed 351 735 participants whose BMI was measured in both 2002/2003 and 2006/2007. Mortality was assessed until 2013. Multivariate hazard ratios for all-cause mortality were estimated. Underweight and severe obesity with BMI >30 kg/m2 were significantly associated with higher mortality. Similarly, >5% decrease or >10% increase of BMI for 4 years was associated with the increased risk of death. Comparing the results between baseline BMI and BMI change, the BMI change showed more stable associations with mortality than the baseline BMI in subgroup analysis such as nonsmokers and healthy participants. This study suggests that BMI change could be a useful health indicator along with obesity level by BMI. In addition, maintaining a healthy weight is needed for longevity, but rapid weight change should be carefully monitored.

Abstract:
Introduction. Aerobic Gymnastics is one type of exercise that increases fatty acid oxidation so that can lose weight. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of aerobic exercise on body mass index (BMI) changes in person with obesity. Methods. This study was a quasi-experimental study using a pre-post test design. Individuals with obesity / overweight do aerobic exercise for 3 times a week for 6 weeks. Before aerobic exercise, the body mass index (BMI) measured and then after aerobic exercise done reassess the Body Mass Index (BMI). The number of sample studied were 30 women aged between 17-22 years old.Results.The results showed that BMI scores before aerobic exercise intervention is average of 27.54 and the average BMI of the respondents after attending aerobics for 6 weeks was 26.65 with a probability value (p = 0.000) smaller than (p = 0.05), which means that there is effect of aerobic exercise with BMI change. Discussion. BMI levels have changed significantly after aerobic exercise for 6 weeks.Keywords: BMI, aerobic, obesity

Abstract:
Purpose: The aims of this study were to examine the bone areal density of the head and how it varied in relation to the density of the rest of the skeleton, and with age, and body mass index (BMI). Our intention was to study the feasibility of excluding the head from the rest of the body, a method which might improve the fracture prediction power of bone mineral measurements. Material and Methods: Bone mineral per area (BMA) and bone mineral content (BMC) (g) were determined in 100 consecutive female volunteers, aged 17 to 78 years, with total and partial body measurements. Results: BMC of the head was found to be 20.2±2.2% of that for the total body. The BMA of the head was 2.38±0.21 times higher than that of the rest of the body. The correlation between the BMA of the head and the rest of the body was significant (r=0.73). The average change in z-score (referred to the same age group in our material) was 0.20 when the head was excluded from total body BMA. The BMA of a) total body, b) total body, head excluded, and c) head decreased with age. The BMA of the head was correlated to BMI in the older age groups (p<0.01). The relative statistical uncertainty for repeated measurement of head BMA was 1.8%. Conclusion: The change of the bone density of the head with age and BMI, in comparison to that of the rest of the skeleton, suggests that when the head is excluded from total body BMA better predictive value for fracture risk is obtained.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate BMI changes following a temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) diagnosis. The Korean National Health Insurance Service-Health Screening Cohort from 2002 to 2015 was used. In Study I, 1808 patients with TMJD (TMJD I) were matched with 7232 participants in comparison group I. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD I and comparison I groups for 1 year. In study II, 1621 patients with TMJD (TMJD II) were matched with 6484 participants in comparison group II participants. The change in BMI was compared between the TMJD II and comparison II groups for 2 years. In Study I, the BMI change was not associated with TMJD. In Study II, the BMI change was associated with TMJD in the interaction of the linear mixed model (p = 0.003). The estimated value (EV) of the linear mixed model was −0.082. The interaction was significant in women < 60 years old, women ≥ 60 years old, and the obese I category. TMJD was not associated with BMI changes after 1–2 years in the overall population. In women and obese patients, TMJD was associated with a decrease in BMI after 2 years.

Abstract:
AbstractPubertal BMI change is an independent risk marker of cardiovascular mortality/morbidity. Previous studies demonstrated a secular trend of increased childhood BMI but it is unknown if there is a concomitant secular trend regarding pubertal BMI change. The aim of this study was to describe the trend in pubertal BMI change. We collected heights and weights before and after puberty from school health records and military conscript records for boys born every five years during 1946–1991 (n = 3650, total cohort) and calculated pubertal BMI change (young adult BMI at 20 years of age minus childhood BMI at 8 years of age) for all study participants. A secular trend of increasing pubertal BMI change during the study period was observed. The increase in pubertal BMI change (0.27 kg/m2 per decade [0.22; 0.32]) explained 54% of the secular trend of increasing young adult BMI (0.50 kg/m2 per decade [0.43; 0.57]). We made the novel observation that there is a secular trend of increasing pubertal BMI change. We propose that the secular trend of increasing pubertal BMI change might contribute more than the secular trend of increasing childhood BMI to the adverse cardiovascular health consequences associated with the ongoing obesity epidemic.

Abstract:
This study describes changes in body mass index z score (BMI z) and percent of 95th percentile (P95) between referral to pediatric weight management (PWM) and initial PWM visit. We conducted a prospective cohort analysis among subjects (n = 77) aged 5 to 11 years referred to PWM and compared height and weight at time of referral versus initial PWM visit. Mean BMI z decreased by 0.05, and P95 decreased by 1.48 across all age groups (both P < .01) from time of referral to initial visit. Children 5 to 8 years old experienced a greater BMI z change than older children (−0.07 vs −0.02; P < .05). Interval BMI z change was greater for non-Hispanic White and Hispanic children compared with non-Hispanic Blacks (−0.10 vs −0.01; P < .001). There were no subgroup differences in P95. Interval BMI changes between referral and treatment approach half the effect reported by some PWM programs. Referral to PWM may motivate pretreatment lifestyle changes in some patients.

Abstract:
Objective: To examine whether weight history and weight transitions over adult lifespan contribute to physical impairment among postmenopausal women. Design: BMI categories were calculated among postmenopausal women who reported their weight and height at age 18 years. Multiple-variable logistic regression was used to determine the association between BMI at age 18 years and BMI transitions over adulthood on severe physical impairment (SPI), defined as scoring <60 on the Physical Functioning subscale of the Rand thirty-six-item Short-Form Health Survey. Setting: Participants were part of the Women's Health Initiative Observational Study (WHI OS), where participants' health was followed over time via questionnaires and clinical assessments. Subjects: Postmenopausal women (n 76 016; mean age 635 (sd 73) years). Results: Women with overweight (BMI=250-299 kg/m(2)) or obesity (BMI = 300 kg/m(2)) at 18 years had greater odds (OR (95 % CI)) of SPI (151 (135, 169) and 214 (172, 265), respectively) than normal-weight (BMI=185-249 kg/m(2)) counterparts. Transitions from normal weight to overweight/obese or to underweight (BMI<185 kg/m(2)) were associated with greater odds of SPI (197 (184, 211) and 135 (106, 171), respectively) compared with weight stability. Shifting from underweight to overweight/obese also had increased odds of SPI (152 (111, 209)). Overweight/obese to normal BMI transitions resulted in a reduced SPI odds (052 (039, 071)). Conclusions: Higher weight history and transitions into higher weight classes were associated with higher likelihood of SPI, while transitioning into lower weight classes for those with overweight/obesity was protective among postmenopausal women.

Abstract:
This thesis examined body dissatisfaction and body change behaviors among adolescent girls and boys from a biopsychosocial framework. The contribution of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors were examined in relation to body dissatisfaction, weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors among early adolescent girls and boys. In particular, pubertal maturation, body mass index (BMI), perception of body shape and size and psychological factors, such as depression, anxiety, ineffectiveness, self-esteem and perfectionism, were examined as possible factors that may precipitate or maintain body dissatisfaction and engagement in body change strategies. The sociocultural factors evaluated were the quality of family and peer relationships, as well as the influence of family and peers in predicting the adoption of specific body change strategies. The specific mechanisms by which these influences were transmitted were also examined. These included perceived discussion, encouragement and modelling of various body change strategies, as well as perceived teasing about body shape and size. A number of separate cross-sectional and longitudinal studies were conducted to examine the above relationships and identify the factors that contribute to weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors in adolescents. Study 1 examined the psychometric properties and principal components structure of the Bulimia Test Revised (BULIT-R; Thelen, Farmer, Wonderlich, & Smith, 1991) to assess its applicability to adolescent samples. Study 2 investigated the nature of body dissatisfaction and weight loss behaviors among 603 adolescents (306 girls and 297 boys) using a standardised questionnaire. This preliminary study was conducted to ascertain whether variables previously found to be relevant to adolescent girls, could also be related to the development of body dissatisfaction and weight loss behaviors among adolescent boys. Studies 3 and 4 described the development and validation of a body modification scale that measured weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors. Studies 5 and 6 were designed to modify an Excessive Exercise Scale developed by Long, Smith, Midgley, and Cassidy (1993) into a shorter form, and validate this scale with an adolescent sample. Study 7 investigated the factors that contribute to weight loss, weight gain and increased muscle among adolescent girls and boys both cross-sectionally and longitudinally (over one year). Structural equation modelling was used to examine associations among self-reported body dissatisfaction, body change strategies and a range of biological, psychological and sociocultural variables both cross-sectionally and longitudinally. Overall, the results suggested that both girls and boys experience body dissatisfaction and engage in a number of different body change strategies in order to achieve an ideal size. A number of gender similarities and differences were identified in the expression of body dissatisfaction and the adoption of body change strategies for both girls and boys. Girls were more likely than boys to report body dissatisfaction and engage in weight loss behaviors, while boys were more likely than girls to engage in weight gain and increased muscle tone behaviors. Generally, the same factors were found to contribute to weight loss, and more specifically, bulimic symptomatology, ad weight gain in both adolescent girls and boys. While a combination of biological, psychological and sociocultural factors contributed to bulimic symptomatology, only biological and psychological factors were found to contribute to weight gain in adolescents. The most notable gender differences were found in the model of increased muscle tone. Sociocultural and biological factors contributed to increased muscle tone behaviors in girls, while sociocultural and psychological factors were implicated in these behaviors in adolescent boys. With the exception of the model of increased muscle tone for boys, body dissatisfaction was a consistent factor in the adoption of body change behaviors. Consistent with previous investigations, the present thesis provides empirical support for the need to examine the etiology and maintenance of such concerns and behaviors from a multifaceted perspective.

Abstract:
Syftet med den här studien är att skapa förståelse hur gamification ur ett teoretiskt perspektiv kan bidra till realisering av aktivitetssystem som i detta arbete likställs definitionen av affärsmodell. Detta genom att gamification bidrar till den transformation som krävs för att aktivitetssystemet ska realiseras. Målet med studien var att bidra med kunskap till praktiker som planerar att genomföra affärsmodellinnovation samt hur dessa kan använda gamification på de externa aktörerna i aktivitetssystemet. Fenomenet affärsmodellinnovation (BMI) har på senare år vuxit fram som ett område som företagsledningar behöver beakta. I dagens samhälle måste företagsledning hantera snabba förändringar och fatta beslut löpande om framtida beteenden bland aktörerna i aktivitetssystemet och därefter anpassa aktivitetssystemet för att det ska vara livskraftig. Forskning har däremot visat ett gap kring exekvering av välformulerade strategier och aktiviteter, varpå denna studie framhäver gamification som mekanism för exekvering/realisering av aktivitetssystem. Resultatet är en guide som fungerar som vägledning för praktiker. Metodvalet föll på en systematisk litteraturstudie med induktiv analys och diskussion för att på transparant och systematiskt sätt eftersöka det som redan är känt inom olika fält för att lära från det andra redan studerat. Utöver en induktiv ansats har ett inslag av deduktiv ansats använts för det empiriska inlägget i studien. Det empiriska inlägget är i form av ett exempel som utgör en enklare validering av det teoretiska resultatet. De slutsatser som dragits är restriktiva i relation till antalet granskade litterära verk i förhållande till tillgänglig forskning inom respektive område. Begräsningar av studien diskuteras men lämnar utrymme för ytterligare begränsningar. Ur ett teoretiskt granskande perspektiv finns potential för företag att använda gamification som mekanism för att realisera ett aktivitetssystem, avseende att främja motivation till beteende (aktiviteter) hos de externa aktörerna som ingår i aktivitetssystemet och som inte kan styras med interna beslutshierarkier. Denna studie påvisar vikten av samverkan mellan designprocessen för gamification respektive designprocessen för aktivitetssystemet samt att det krävs ett ledningsfokus som beaktar viktiga aspekter för en lyckad realisering av aktivitetssystemet.

Abstract:
Longer-term immigrants residing in the United States exhibit physical health decline related to higher body mass index (BMI). Theories on immigrant acculturation have been used to examine health patterns by length of stay in the United States. The purpose of this cross-sectional study, guided by the Schwartz model of acculturation, was to examine the effect of acculturation and length of stay in the United States on BMI in a sample of Haitian immigrants living in the Northeast Metropolitan area. The research question was used to examine the effects of acculturation and length of stay on BMI in the convenience sample of 116 Haitian men and women, aged 18 years and older, who had relocated to the United States for 3 years or more. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and medical records from a participating health clinic and then analyzed by conducting a multiple linear regression. According to study results, acculturation, length of stay, age, gender, and physical activity were not significant predictors of BMI change. An ancillary analysis using the subscales of acculturation revealed similar results. This study may provide positive social change by enabling health providers to understand the beliefs, values, and practices of Haitian immigrant groups and the acculturation pattern of individuals when providing care for this population.

Abstract:
The transition to college has been identified as a critical period for weight gain; however, only a limited number of studies have examined this phenomenon. The college setting may promote weight gain, thus the purpose of the present study was to quantify changes in BMI in first year students during their first semester of college and to understand factors associated with weight gain, such as eating behaviors, physical activity, and body shape ideals. Significant changes in weight were detected between Time 1 and 2 with a mean weight gain of 1.24 kg. The majority of participants (73.1 %) gained weight and the percentage of participants categorized as overweight increased from 23.1 % to 3 1.4%. Regression models did not reveal significant predictors of weight gain. Paired t-tests revealed significant decreases in disinhibition, binge eating, and number of days of physical activity over the semester. Participants who gained weight had greater body image dissatisfaction than those who did not gain weight. These findings underscore the need for more studies on factors related to weight gain and prevention efforts in the college population.

Abstract:
AbstractWe are confronted with increasingly pressing questions about economic and social transition. Things have to change, but how? We believe that this change is concerned with three closely related challenges, which we call the triple transition—climate, energy, and circularity. These challenges combined result in a call for radical and major changes in the configuration of our economies and for the reconsideration and redesign of our systems. The fact remains that we live in organized societies and economies in which together we need to shape these transitions. Central to this book stands the premise that transition requires new forms of value creation materialized in the new generation of sustainable and circular business models. To make this possible the Business Model Template (BMT) was developed. The purpose of this chapter is to introduce you to the structure and style of this book and how the BMT is presented in the various chapters.

Abstract:
Research has shown that business model innovation (BMI) can create competitive advantages and enhance firm performance. However, many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) fail to supreme their performance. BMI can create unexpected consequences for businesses and their ecosystem. Therefore, knowing how and under what circumstances BMI affects a firm’s performance is a primary concern for managers/owners of SMEs. Using data from 460 European SMEs, this paper aims to examine three paths through which ICT-driven BMI can impact firm’s performance. Introducing organisational capabilities as a mediator, this study has extended prior literature on BMI by showing that organisational capabilities are as strong as other existing mediators of revenue and efficiency growth regarding improving the firm’s performance. The findings provide guidelines for practitioners to execute informed-decisions about the implementation of BMI based on their firm’s strategies and the available capabilities while considering contingent factors of firm size and age.

Abstract:
Context: The literature on interstitial microtriplications at the 16p11.2 locus is scarce and unclear. We bring a rare case of microtriplications in the 16p11.2 locus associated with Syndromic Autistic Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Intellectual Disability (ID) to stimulate discussion about this rare and complex condition. Case report: A.M.C., female, 10 years old, with history of agitation and aggression. Referred to neuropediatrician at 6 years old for behavioral change, socialization difficulties, agitation, heteroaggressiveness, developmental delay and school difficulty. She is not literate, has motor stereotypes when agitated, preferably plays with younger children, has tactile (water), taste (food) and sound sensory dysfunction, a low frustration threshold, difficulty in accepting routine changes and BMI of 14. Genetic evaluation showed interstitial triplication of 610Kb in the short arm of chromosome 16, raising diagnostic hypotheses of ASD and ID. Conclusions: Changes in microduplication in this locus are predisposing genetic factors for neurodevelopmental delays, ASD and ID. Changes in the number of 16p11.2 copies are believed to promote BMI index body change and brain changes in a dose-dependent manner on the phenotype. Brain changes include areas associated with reward, language and cognition. We bring this case to bring attention and discussion about to this rare condition.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper aims at developing a robust gain-scheduled proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control design method for a linear-parameter-varying (LPV) system. It is recognized in the literature that robust fixed-order controller design can be formulated as a feasibility problem of a bilinear matrix inequality (BMI) constraint. Unfortunately, the search for a feasible solution of a BMI constraint is a NP hard problem in general. A common way to solve this dilemma is to apply a linearization method, such as variable change method or congruence transformation, to transform the BMI into LMI. The applicability of the linearization method depends on the specific structure of the problem at hand and cannot be generalized. This paper formulates the gain-scheduled PID controller design as a feasibility problem of a quadratic matrix inequality (QMI) constraint, which covers the BMI constraint as a special case. An augmentation of the newly developed sequential LMI optimization method is proposed to search for a feasible solution of a QMI constraint iteratively. In the application part, a vehicle lateral control problem is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed algorithm to a real-world output feedback control design.

Full text
Abstract:
This study deals with the robust design in designing passive suspension system of half railway vehicles via feedback control theory. This design with robustness performance is examined in the change of body weight corresponding to full and empty load of vehicle. These two states of system can be described by two sets of equations of motion that can be extended as one control object, and the controller designed by feedback control theory will control this extended model. By applying feedback control theory, parameter selection and optimization of a huge class of passive suspension system becomes a structural control problem. Since minimizing ℋ∞ norm of the system implies suppressing the peak of the magnitude of frequency response of the extended system, parameters selection of passive suspension systems becomes an ℋ∞ static output feedback problem, which turns into Bilinear Matrix Inequality (BMI) problem. One of simple methods to solve BMI problem is alternative algorithm which is derived from iterative schemes of alternation between analysis and synthesis via Linear Matrix Inequalities (LMIs). The effectiveness of vibration reduction is simulated by MATLAB software.

Full text
Abstract:
During the last decade, several defects due to primary water stress corrosion cracking (PWSCC) have been reported at bottom-mounted instrumentation (BMI) and control rod drive mechanism nozzles. The exact locations were dissimilar metal weld parts which are greatly important because the cracking could lead to leakage of primary coolant. The PWSCC of BMI mock-up’s penetration with dissimilar metal welds was examined by using doped steam test method by Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. In this work, numerical analyses are performed for the same environment condition with the doped steam test. With respect to the numerical analyses, heat transfer analyses are carried out based on thermal conduction. The welding paths are simulated by using lumped path method for conservative evaluation and model change (remove/rebirth) method. Then residual stress analyses are conducted using the heat transfer analysis results, in which annealing effect of welding process simulation is considered for resetting the plastic deformation. However, the plastic behaviour of steels during phase transformations is not considered with experimental data. In addition, the consequence of weld residual stress that is known as the cause of PWSCC is being investigated.

Full text
Abstract:
The main goal of this study was to improve the performance of cold in-place recycling (CIR) mixtures by using a balanced mix design (BMD) approach. This study involved preparing and testing CIR mixtures in the lab at varying contents of bituminous additives and constant content of 1% ce-ment and 3% water. Eight combinations of CIR mixtures were produced for this study using two binders (emulsion and foamed asphalt), compaction efforts (30 and 70 gyrations), and curing processes (72 hours at 140°F and 50°F). Results showed that asphalt pavement analyzer, semicircular bend, and indirect tensile strength tests presented the highest correlation with the change of binder contents. The study successfully used the developed BMD for designing CIR mixtures and selecting their optimum binder contents. It then used three balanced CIR mixtures to construct full-scale pavement sections to validate the BMD approach in the field. A heavy vehicle simulator was used to apply different accelerated loadings on each section. Results showed that the CIR section with 2% binder presented the best rutting performance under truck loading and the highest rutting susceptibility under aircraft loading. Conversely, the CIR section with 3% binder presented the highest cracking resistance under both truck and aircraft loading.

Full text
Abstract:
Objectives: (1) Preparing panel data sets for both the United States and Israel that contain a rich set of farm attributes, such as size, specialization, and output composition, and farmers’ characteristics such as off-farm employment status, education, and family composition. (2) Developing an empirical framework for the joint analysis of all the endogenous variables of interest in a dynamic setting. (3) Estimating simultaneous equations of the endogenous variables using the panel data sets from both countries. (4) Analyzing, using the empirical results, the possible effects of economic policies and institutional changes on the dynamics of the farm sector. An added objective is analyzing structural changes in farm sectors in additional countries. Background: Farm sectors in developed countries, including the U.S. and Israel, have experienced a sharp decline in their size and importance during the second half of the 20th century. The overall trend is towards fewer and larger farms that rely less on family labor. These structural changes have been a reaction to changes in technology, in government policies, and in market conditions: decreasing terms of trade, increasing alternative opportunities, and urbanization pressures. As these factors continue to change, so does the structure of the agricultural sector. Conclusions: We have shown that all major dimensions of structural changes in agriculture are closely interlinked. These include farm efficiency, farm scale, farm scope (diversification), and off-farm labor. We have also shown that these conclusions hold and perhaps even become stronger whenever dynamic aspects of structural adjustments are explicitly modeled using longitudinal data. While the results vary somewhat in the different applications, several common features are observed for both the U.S. and Israel. First, the trend towards the concentration of farm production in a smaller number of larger farm enterprises is likely to continue. Second, at the micro level, increased farm size is negatively associated with increased off-farm labor, with the causality going both ways. Third, the increase in farm size is mostly achieved by diversifying farm production into additional activities (crops or livestock). All these imply that the farm sector converges towards a bi-modal farm distribution, with some farms becoming commercial while the remaining farm households either exit farming altogether or continue producing but rely heavily on off-farm income. Implications: The primary scientific implication of this project is that one should not analyze a specific farm attribute in isolation. We have shown that controlling for the joint determination of the various farm and household attributes is crucial for obtaining meaningful empirical results. The policy implications are to some extent general but could be different in the two countries. The general implication is that farm policy is an important determinant of structural changes in the farm sector. For the U.S., we have shown the different effects of coupled and decoupled (direct) farm payments on the various farm attributes, and also shown that it is important to take into account the joint farm-household decisions in order to conduct a meaningful policy analysis. Only this kind of analysis explains the indirect effect of direct farm payments on farm production decisions. For Israel, we concluded that farm policy (or lack of farm policy) has contributed to the fast structural changes we observed over the last 25 years. The sharp change of direction in farm policy that started in the early 1980s has accelerated structural changes that could have been smoother otherwise. These accelerated structural changes most likely lead to welfare losses in rural areas.

Abstract:
Das Projekt iENG (Intelligente Energienutzung in der Gebäudewirtschaft) thematisiert die umwelt- und gesellschaftsverträgliche Umsetzung der Energiewende im Gebäudebereich. Es geht der Frage nach, warum insbesondere im Bestand das Umsetzungstempo weit hinter den Erwartungen zurückbleibt und vertieft dabei die Fragestellungen der Informations-vermittlung (Energieberater), der rechtlichen und ökonomischen Rahmenbedingungen (EnEV und Förder-Verfahren) sowie die bislang weitgehend ignorierten Chancen von architektonischer Gestaltung und gebäudekybernetischen Ansätzen. In diesem Beitrag wird versucht, die Sicht der Gebäudenutzer, also insbesondere der Mieter und selbstnutzenden Eigentümer von Wohnungen zu ergründen. Dazu ist es sinnvoll, an der öffentlichen Diskussion der Thematik Gebäudeenergiewende anzuknüpfen, die meistens bei der aktuellen technischen Standardlösung zum Einsparen von Energie im Gebäudebereich anknüpft: den Wärmedämmverbundsystemen. Sie sind sowohl durch große Werbemaßnahmen (Ulrich Wickert: Dämmen lohnt sich) als auch durch die Kriterien für die Vergabe vergünstigter Modernisierungskredite oder Zuschüsse nahezu vorgegeben, um im Wohnungsbestand und bei Neubauten über eine Reduzierung der erforderlichen Heizleistung zu einer Energieeinsparung und zur CO2-Reduzierung beizutragen. Im folgenden Bericht werden ausgehend von der methodischen Anlage des Teilprojektes die Ergebnisse der empirischen Arbeiten dargestellt. Im Verlauf des Projektes haben sich insbesondere bei der Rekrutierung von Teilnehmern für die Fokusgruppen Probleme ergeben, die dargestellt und diskutiert werden sollen (Kap. 2). Aufgrund der Zugangsprobleme zum Feld ist die empirische Basis der nachfolgenden Überlegungen nicht sehr robust und nur begrenzt belastbar (Kap. 3).

Full text
Abstract:
In recent years, mission-oriented approaches have received growing interest in science, technology and innovation (STI) policies against the background of two developments. First, while so-called “horizontal” or “generic” approaches to research, technology and innovation policies have largely been successful in improving the general innovation performance or the rate of innovation, there are perceived limitations in terms of insufficiently addressing the direction of technological change and innovation. Second, “grand societal challenges” emerged on policy agendas, such as climate change, security, food and energy supply or ageing populations, which call for thematic orientation and the targeting of research and innovation efforts. In addition, the apparent success of some mission-oriented initiatives in countries like China, South Korea, and the United States in boosting technological development for purposes of strengthening competitiveness contributed to boosting the interest in targeted and directional government interventions in STI. Against the backdrop of this renewed interest in mission-oriented STI policy, the OECD has addressed the growing importance of this topic and launched a project looking into current experiences with Mission-Oriented Innovation Policy (MOIP). The present study on MOIP in Austria was commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Climate Action, Energy, Mobility, Environment, Innovation and Technologiy (BMK) and comprises the Austrian contributions to this OECD project. The study aims at contributing Austrian experiences to the international debate and to stimulate a national debate on MOIP.
