Auflistung von regional Relevantem. Das Vorhandensein von Druckausgaben der Werke von Frane Petrić in deutschen Bibliotheken

Using bibliographical data from the major electronic German libraries’ catalogues for the editions of the works by Frane Petrić, and the copies of these works, it is possible to arrive at results which probably cannot be obtained using other means and instruments. There are strong indicators that the pre-20th century German reception of Petrić differs considerably from his reception elsewhere (especially in the U.K.). In this phase of reception the impact of the Discussiones peripateticae and the Militia romana is particularly conspicuous. The results for the impact of the 1953sqq editions of Petrić’s works are under many aspects different from the results obtained for the earlier editions of his works. This is a preliminary case study for Germany, using data from the U.K. and from the AHCI database for comparisons.L’utilisation des données des plus grands catalogues électroniques des bibliothčques allemandes concernant les éditions des ouvrages de Franjo Petrić et leurs exemplaires permet d’arriver ŕ des résultats qu’il serait probablement impossible d’obtenir par d’autres moyens et instruments. Il existe de fortes indications qui montrent que la réception allemande de Petrić antérieure au XXe siecle diffčre sensiblement de sa réception dans d’autres pays (et notamment en Grande-Bretagne). A ce stade-lŕ de réception, l’impact des ses Discussiones peripateticae et Militia romana est particuličrement évident. Les résultats concernant l’impact des éditions de 1952 et postérieures different ŕ maints égards de ceux obtenus pour les éditions antérieures. Cet article est une étude de cas préliminaire utilisant, ŕ des fins de comparaison, des données puisées dans des sources britanniques et dans la banque de données AHCI.Indem man den Katalogen der größten deutschen elektronischen Bibliotheken mit Ausgaben der Werke von Frane Petrić und einzelnen Exemplaren dieser Ausgaben bibliographische Daten entnimmt, lassen sich Ergebnisse vorlegen, die auf anderen Wegen oder mit Hilfe anderer Mittel kaum erfolgreich wären. Es bestehen ernsthafte Indizien dafür, dass sich die deutsche Petrić-Rezeption vor dem XX. Jahrhundert von anderweitigen Rezeptionen (namentlich in Großbritannien) wesentlich unterscheidet. In dieser Rezeptionsphase hebt sich besonders der Einfluss von Discussiones peripateticae und Militia romana hervor. Die Ergebnisse bezüglich des Einflusses der seit 1953 erschienenen Werkausgaben von Petrić unterscheiden sich in vielerlei Hinsicht von jenen, die sich aus den älteren Ausgaben seiner Werke ergeben. Dies ist eine vorläufige Fallstudie für Deutschland, die zum Vergleich Daten aus Großbritannien und der AHCI-Datenbank heranzieht

From bricks-and-mortar to bricks-and-clicks: logistics networks in omni-channel grocery retailing

Purpose: The advent of grocery sales through online channels necessitates that bricks-and-mortar retailers redefine their logistics networks if they want to compete online. Because the general understanding of such bricks-and-clicks logistics systems for grocery is still limited, the purpose of this paper is to analyze the internal logistics networks used to serve customers across channels by means of an exploratory study with retailers from different contexts. Design/methodology/approach: A total of twelve case companies from six European countries participated in this exploratory study. Face-to-face interviews with managers were the primary source for data collection. The heterogeneity of our sample enabled us to build a common understanding of logistics networks in grocery retailing on multiple channels and to understand the advantages of different warehousing, picking, internal transportation and last-mile delivery systems. Findings: Bricks-and-mortar grocery retailers are leveraging their existing logistics structures to fulfill online orders. Logistics networks are mostly determined by the question of where to split case packs into customer units. In non-food logistics channel integration is mostly seen as beneficial, but in grocery retailing this depends heavily on product, market and retailer specifics. The data from our heterogeneous sample reveals six distinct types for cross-channel order fulfillment. Practical implications: Our qualitative analysis of different design options can serve as decision support for retailers developing logistics networks to serve customers across channels. Originality/value: The paper shows the internal and external factors that drive the decisionmaking for omni-channel logistics networks for previously store-based grocery retailers. Thereby it makes a step towards building a contingency and configuration theory of retail networks design. It discusses in particular the differences between grocery and non-food omni-channel retailing, lastmile delivery systems and market characteristics in the decision-making of retail networks design

Integrated zone picking and vehicle routing operations with restricted intermediate storage

The competitiveness of a retailer is highly dependent on an efficient distribution system. This is especially true for the supply of stores from distribution centers. Stores ask for high flexibility when it comes to their supply. This means that fast order processing is essential. Order processing affects different subsystems at the distribution center: Orders are picked in multiple picking zones, transferred to intermediate storage, and delivered via dedicated tours. These processing steps are highly interdependent. The schedule for picking needs to be synchronized with the routing decisions to ensure availability of the delivery orders at the DC’s loading docks when their associated tours are scheduled. Concurrently, intermediate storage represents a bottleneck as capacities for order storage are limited. The simultaneous planning of picking and routing operations with restricted intermediate storage is therefore relevant for retail practice but has not so far been considered within an integrated planning approach. Our work addresses this task and discusses an integrated zone picking and vehicle routing problem with restricted intermediate storage. We present a comprehensive model formulation and introduce a general variable neighborhood search for simultaneous consideration of the given planning stages. We also present two alternative sequential approaches that are motivated by the prevailing planning situation in industry. Numerical experiments that we have conducted show the need for an integrated planning approach to obtain practicable results. Further, we identify the impact of the main problem characteristics on the overall planning problem and provide valuable insights for the application of this approach in industry

Prosody takes over : towards a prosodically guided dialog system

The domain of the speech recognition and dialog system EVAR is train time table inquiry. We observed that in real human-human dialogs when the officer transmits the information, the customer very often interrupts. Many of these interruptions are just repetitions of the time of day given by the officer. The functional role of these interruptions is often determined by prosodic cues only. An important result of experiments where naive persons used the EVAR system is that it is hard to follow the train connection given via speech synthesis. In this case it is even more important than in human-human dialogs that the user has the opportunity to interact during the answer phase. Therefore we extended the dialog module to allow the user to repeat the time of day and we added a prosody module guiding the continuation of the dialog by analyzing the intonation contour of this utterance.Der Diskursbereich des Spracherkennungs- und Dialogsystems EVAR ist Fahrplanauskunft für Züge. Wir beobachteten, dass in realen Mensch-Mensch Dialogen der Kunde sehr oft den Auskunftsbeamten unterbricht, wenn dieser die Information übermittelt. Viele dieser Unterbrechungen sind ausschließlich Wiederholungen der Uhrzeitangabe des Beamten. Die funktionale Rolle dieser Unterbrechungen wird häufig alleine durch prosodische Mittel bestimmt. Ein wichtiges Ergebnis von Dialog Experimenten mit naiven Personen ergab, dass es schwer ist, den Verbindungsauskünften von EVAR via Sprachsynthese zu folgen. In diesem Fall ist es sogar noch wichtiger als in Mensch-Mensch Dialogen, dass der Benutzer die Möglichkeit hat, während der Antwortphase zu interagieren. Deshalb haben wir das Dialogmodul erweitert, um dem Benutzer die Möglichkeit zu geben, die Uhrzeitangaben zu wiederholen, und wir fügten ein Prosodiemodul hinzu, das die Fortführung des Dialogs steuert, indem die Intonation dieser Äußerung analysiert wir
