Summary: This paper distinguishes between industry lifecycle (ILC) and product lifecycle (PLC) models, highlighting implications for learning and innovation in digital manufacturing. The study identifies different types of learning associated with each phase of the ILC and explores how they influence PLC in digital innovation. Learning-by-feedback is crucial for co-creation, co-production, and open innovation, while learning-by-doing and learning-by-memory are essential for production and usage stages.

Summary: It is important for luxury fashion brands to address the environmental impact of their products and establish a common language to avoid confusion. Tools such as Life Cycle Assessment and Eco-Design help assess and reduce negative effects, but more work is needed. The concept of durability is often misunderstood, and terms like resilience are confused with durability. There is a lack of clear definitions for both terms, and most studies focus on only one dimension or lifecycle stage. A systematic analysis framework is needed to evaluate the environmental impact of luxury fashion products at each stage of their lifecycle.

Summary: A transition towards circular manufacturing systems (CMS) brings awareness of economic and environmental benefits. This research proposes a multi-method model architecture for modelling and simulating CMS from a complex adaptive systems perspective. The applicability of the proposed approach is illustrated through a case study of a white goods manufacturing company. The analysis of simulation results shows the impact of decisions regarding business models, product design, and supply chain on the CMS performance.

Summary: In this study, the nanomechanical properties of human breast cancer cell-derived sEVs were quantitatively investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM). It was found that the stiffness and osmotic pressure of sEVs increase with malignancy and decrease with size, while the bending modulus decreases with malignancy and is lower in smaller sEVs. This research establishes a relationship between the nanomechanical signature of sEVs and tumor malignancy, contributing to a better understanding of cancer mechanobiology.

Summary: This paper provides an overview of the diverse development of digital twin (DT) technology in the electromechanical product lifecycle. It proposes six key technology foci distributed across three lifecycle phases, including product digital modeling and service interconnection in the concept & design phase, DT-enabled processes and DT-oriented resources in the manufacturing phase, and DT-based control and prognostics and health management (PHM) in the operation & maintenance phase.

Summary: Mining activities can result in significant environmental costs, rendering them economically unviable. To accurately assess the economic feasibility of a mine, it is important to consider the environmental costs in feasibility studies. However, quantifying these costs per ton of extracted ore poses a significant challenge. This study proposes a framework-based methodology that takes into account various factors to calculate the environmental costs, and applying it to the Songun copper mine dataset revealed the differing costs for open-pit and block-caving sections.

Summary: This study aimed to understand the importance of criteria describing methods according to decision makers for each decision point in the medical product lifecycle (MPLC) and to determine the suitability of different preference elicitation methods at each decision point. An online survey was conducted on MPLC decision makers, who ranked and weighted 19 methods criteria. Swing weighting and probabilistic threshold technique received higher suitability scores across decision points. Other methods should be considered to address the needs of decision makers.

Summary: With increasing human life expectancy, the global medical burden of chronic diseases is growing. Chronic diseases often involve malfunctioning of multiple organs, and understanding the interorgan crosstalk is crucial to understanding the etiology of chronic diseases. Researchers have proposed the locked-state model (LoSM) and cutting-edge systems biology and artificial intelligence strategies to decipher chronic multiorgan locked states. The findings have important clinical implications for improving treatments for chronic diseases.
