A bibliometric analysis of research in design for additive manufacturing

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand how Design for Additive manufacturing Knowledge has been developing and its significance to both academia and industry. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors use a bibliometric approach to analyse publications from January 2010 to December 2020 to explore the subject areas, publication outlets, most active authors, geographical distribution of scholarly outputs, collaboration and co-citations at both institutional and geographical levels and outcomes from keywords analysis. Findings The findings reveal that most knowledge has been developed in DfAM methods, rules and guidelines. This may suggest that designers are trying to learn new ways of harnessing the freedom offered by AM. Furthermore, more knowledge is needed to understand how to tackle the inherent limitations of AM processes. Moreover, DfAM knowledge has thus far been developed mostly by authors in a small number of institutional and geographical clusters, potentially limiting diverse perspectives and synergies from international collaboration which are essential for global knowledge development, for improvement of the quality of DfAM research and for its wider dissemination. Originality/value A concise structure of DfAM knowledge areas upon which the bibliometric analysis was conducted has been developed. Furthermore, areas where research is concentrated and those that require further knowledge development are revealed.

EXPRESS: How Marketer Actions Influence Persuasion Knowledge: Meta-Analytic Evidence of a Non-Linear Relationship

Persuasion knowledge development leads to better coping with marketplace persuasion, better consumer decision-making, and adds to consumer well-being. While significant knowledge exists on the impact that individual factors (e.g., age) and cues (e.g., sponsorship disclosure messages) have on consumers’ persuasion knowledge development, little is known about the influence of marketer actions, such as advertising spending. This is surprising, as marketer activities provide a major source of information for consumers’ persuasion knowledge learning and practice and can theoretically either support or hinder persuasion knowledge development. We develop several explanations for various types of relationships between advertising spending and persuasion knowledge and test these relationships by means of a meta-analysis of the persuasion knowledge literature based on 140 papers with 162 distinctive datasets that address persuasion knowledge measurements. We find that increasing advertising spending also increases consumers’ persuasion knowledge. The relationship follows an inverted-U curve, and, at a certain level of advertising spending, persuasion knowledge begins to decrease. The findings have theoretical and societal implications and, depending on the level of advertising investment, policy implications with the ultimate aim of ensuring consumer well-being and protecting consumer groups with low levels of persuasion knowledge.

Epistemology in Engineering Education: An Overview

Epistemology is a branch of philosophy, a study of how a person knows and knowing. Engineering epistemology is one of the new disciplines in engineering education research. Unfortunately, little research has been done on engineering education. In this paper, epistemology is discussed in the general context then, specifically for the engineering education context. Furthermore, the engineering epistemology framework and instrument to investigate engineering epistemology among engineering educators and students have been presented. Theory for knowledge development has been discussed in general and how that developmental model is important for higher education. Finally, epistemology in teaching and learning has been introduced in the context of engineering educators and engineering students. In summary, engineering educators’ epistemology will shape future engineers based on their class design. Therefore, developing engineering students from dualists to commitments of the relativist is very important. Finally, suggestions for engineering faculty management in developing engineering educators and engineering students for a better teaching and learning experience are provided.

A Systematic Approach to Supporting Faculty Knowledge Development in Nursing and Health Informatics

Using a systematic communication strategy the knowledge of nursing/health informatics amongst Faculty members has been developed resulting in the inclusion of informatics across the curriculum as part of the essential role of nurses and other healthcare practitioners in all areas of practice.

Interpretation of the scientific picture of the world in the context of knowledge development

The scientific picture of the world enters into constant interaction with cognitive experience. And changes in the structure of informational space change behavioral patterns and criteria of influence of environment on individuals are determined. The purpose of this work is to review individual branches of scientific knowledge as a component of the scientific picture of the world and to identify characteristic figures of scientific research of the XV-XVI centuries as an epoch of "flight" of thought. The descriptive method of the investigated phenomenon is used in the work. The purpose of the research is to form a reliable and verified knowledge of the scientific picture of the world of the stated period, to identify the value potential of the representatives of different branches of knowledge, because it is impossible to relieve the phenomenon of current science and set the prospects for its further development without analysis and interpretation of the sources from the previous centuries. The scientific picture of the mentioned period shows the discordance of ideas and the scale of their theoretical and practical implementation (from philosophy to art). The author highlights the most characteristic features of the scientific picture, which contributed to the appearance of new lines of research, a new necklace base on which the scientific thinking of the next centuries was built.

ISM AL- MA’RIFAH (NOMINA DEFINIT) BERKASUS GENETIF DALAM KITAB KHULASHOH NURUL YAQIN JUZ 2 KARYA UMAR ABDUL JABBAR (ANALISIS SINTAKSIS)

The discussion of nahcw science is very large, one of which is about Ism Al- Ma’rifah (Definite Noun) Genitive Case. The researcher chose the book Khulashoh Nurul Yaqin chapter 2 since there are many kinds of ism al- ma’rifah genitive case so that they can be analyzed to improve the readers‟ understanding of this book and is expected to be useful for increasing knowledge development. This is a qualitative study with library research design. Data in the form of ism al ma’rifah (definite noun) genitive case are sourced from the book Khulashoh Nurul Yaqin chapter 2. The instrument used in this study was a data card. The data collection technique used the documentation method. The data analysis technique used the distributional method. The result of this study showed that there are about 430 data on ism al- ma’rifah (definite noun) genitive case found in the book Khulasoh Nurul Yaqin chapter 2. The researcher took 100 data samples with purposive sampling technique (1) type ism al- ma’rifah (definite noun) genitive case consisting of 26 data types ism ‘alam, 15 data types ism dhamir, 1 data types ism isyarah, 1 data types ism maushul, 41 data types ism al-mu’arraf bi al, 16 data types ism al-mudhafu ilal ma’rifah. (2) Functions of ism al- ma’rifah (definite noun) genitive case consist of 43 data as majrur which changes into jarr with harf jar, 41 data as majrur which changes into jarr with idhafah, 16 data that function as majrur which changes into jarr with attawabi’ (9 data as na’at and 7 data as athaf (ma’thuf)).
