Modular Smart Production Lab
No full textComplex and fast changing production processes represent a major challenge for universities, since appropriate didactic concepts for authentic reaching methods are necessary. Especially digitalization and the interaction of interdependent disciplines are difficult to comprehend. The modular smart production lab has been developed precisely for the education of the industrial engineers of tomorrow. The modular production system of Festo is used within a new competence-oriented didactic concept. A learn repository forms basis for individual teaching paths for different competence levels. The resulting MSPL enables quasi on-site interdisciplinary training for industrial engineers. A great advantage of the MPSL is its flexibility towards changing process requirements. Furthermore, it serves as R&D infrastructure for the development of new I4.0 case studies. Hence, this development allows qualifying students for their future jobs.Barbara Mayer, Birgit Rabel, Sabrina Romina SorkoVersion of recor

No full textMirror Landing - As Remembered by Birgit Hult
No full textNotes - This account, Memories Mirror Landing by Birgit Hult, was compiled by Birgit's daughter, Jean Elvira Male, it documents the Hult family's experiences in Mirror Landing from 1912 - 1916. The Hults, who were originally from Sweden, arrived in Mirror Landing with two young children, a third child was born during their stay in Mirror Landing. Upon arriving in the area, the Hults made friends with the Gauthier family. The wives became good friends and would swap piano lessons for English lessons. Details of the log home where the family lived and the surrounding landscape were recalled. A memory about a large forest fire that occurred near the family home and dances that were attended in the town are discussed. Jean recalls her mother's memories regarding the animosity towards the North West Mounted Police that was felt by the people of Mirror Landing. The Hult family retained a strong connection to the Swedish heritage and practised many Swedish traditions, such as flying the Swedish flag and eating hot cross buns stuffed with Swedish Marzipan soaked in warm milk. Photos and a postcard written in 1915 are included in this article (10 pages
Knowing Through Popular Music in the Western Pacific Island World
No full textPacific Indigenous scholars have long emphasized the role of relationality for Pacific Islanders’ epistemologies. In this article, the author rethinks music in terms of the procedural knowledge inherent in and specific to popular music-making by exploring the latter as knowledge practices in Micronesia. This approach opens new vistas on the relationality at the heart of Western Pacific music-making. The author calls the musical manifestation of that relational capacity sound ties, suggesting that if, following Epeli Hau‘ofa, Oceania is “humanity rising from the depths of brine”, then it is not least the sound ties of knowing in and through music that mould that very humanity of people who are at home with the sea into aquapelagic assemblages that are, after all, so much more than water and land
Entrepreneurship and ageing: Exploring an economic geography perspective
No full textThe traditional understanding of entrepreneurship is biased towards certain
population groups and specific locations. Yet the literature points to a much more
diverse perspective on entrepreneurship and regional development. In this paper, we
argue that regional characteristics such as the extent to which a region faces
demographic change (population growth or decline, population ageing, emigration of
youth, etc.) may exert a strong influence both on the individual propensity to start a
business and the aggregate numbers of entrepreneurial activities. In addition,
demographic change also influences the types of businesses or business models found
in different regional contexts. With this idea in mind, we argue that the opportunities
and challenges that are associated with old age entrepreneurship depend strongly on
the regional context. We place old age entrepreneurship into a regional context and
illustrate the ways in which opportunities and constraints arise from such a context
and, in particular, from demographic change occurring in different regional types
