People counting with stereo cameras

People counting is a challenging task with many applications. We propose a method with a fixed stereo camera that is based on projecting a template onto the depth image. The method was tested on a challenging outdoor dataset with good results and runs in real time.

Organizing for sustainability

This upper-level Open Access textbook aims to educate students and professionals on how to develop business models that have a positive impact on people, society, and the social and ecological environment. It explores a different view of how to organize value creation, from a focus on an almost exclusively monetary value creation to one that creates positive impact through multiple values.The book offers students and entrepreneurs a structured approach based through the Business Model Template (BMT). It consists of three stages and ten building blocks to facilitate the development of a business model. Users, be they students or practitioners, need to choose from one of the three offered business model archetypes, namely the platform, community, or circular business models. Each archetype offers a dedicated logic for vale creation. The book can be used to develop a business model from scratch (turning an idea into a working prototype) or to transform an existing business model into one of the three archetypes. Throughout the book extra sources, links to relevant online video clips, assignments and literature are offered to facilitate the development process.This book will be of interest to students studying the development of business models, sustainable management, innovation, and value creation.

An original template solution for FAIR scientific text mining

This method paper presents a template solution for text mining of scientific literature using the R tm package. Literature to be analyzed can be collected manually or automatically using the code provided with this paper. Once the literature is collected, the three steps for conducting text mining can be performed as outlined below:• loading and cleaning of text from articles,• processing, statistical analysis, and clustering, and• presentation of results using generalized and tailor-made visualizations.The text mining steps can be applied to a single, multiple, or time series groups of documents.References are provided to three published peer reviewed articles that use the presented text mining methodology. The main advantages of our method are: (1) Its suitability for both research and educational purposes, (2) Compliance with the Findable Accessible Interoperable and Reproducible (FAIR) principles, and (3) code and example data are made available on GitHub under the open-source Apache V2 license.

An integrated business model perspective for optimalization of food hub practices in the local food supply chain

The Dutch food and agricultural market has been focusing on producing efficiently and effectively with the aim of cost minimization and profit maximizing. In addition to positive developments (higher efficiency and more effective production), this market system has created negative impact for nature, the environment and local economies. Collaboration is therefore necessary to set up local food supply chains that are sustainable economically, socially and environmentally.This research seeks optimization of business models in which trade and cooperation between food hubs and health care institutions, such as hospitals and residential care homes, thrive. This optimized business model can serve as a business model template and can contribute to strengthening the market position of local food hubs and affiliated farmers. Furthermore, hospitals can provide patients healthier, more regional and attractive diets. In order to develop and optimize the current business practices of food hubs the research aims to investigate business models and see if modifications of these business models would benefit current practices.
