Published: June 2023

Nowadays business environment is influenced by continuous discontinuities and change. That leads to the need for a methodology that can be used to manage innovation activities in the longer run. For ensuring competitiveness in business, it is important to have more than one innovation project in funnel on various innovation phase running on it. Utilizing innovation funnels makes it easier to understand operations and allocate expertise to the right projects and manage the partnerships. Through systems thinking and conceptual progression model it is possible to manage several development projects interactively at the same time. The goal of this article has been to create a system model for continuous management of the outcomes of ideation and innovation activities. This article introduces strategic innovation methodology using innovation funnels executed by cohesion building opportunities in teamwork. A reference framework has been developed and used in implementation of innovation phases. This makes it possible to manage strategic innovation activities much better. Successful strategy- based innovation management by innovation funnels needs value- based approach and clear common innovation strategy, goal setting practice and innovation environment. Human centric aspect to teamwork and its workflow is essential in success. The article introduces as case study a proof-of-concept of the growth- based start-up business idea “Training of Working Dog's Handler” which was created in group- based free ideation. The digital twin and the gamified environment illustrate and present the training progression model, considering the needs of dog-specific training.

Published: June 2023

The silver economy is heavily reliant on technical advancements and Information and Communication Technology (ICT) due to the changing demographics and increases in the older population. There have been quite a lot of initiatives by several public and private bodies to tackle the challenges of the silver economy by involving technological innovations and digital frameworks. One such initiative is the Digital Silver Hub (DSH) by the Interreg Baltic Sea Region (BSR) OSIRIS Project, which serves as an ecosystem to develop and accelerate the adoption of innovative solutions to the challenges encountered by the ageing population so they may lead an active and independent life. It involves transnational functionalities that enable collaboration, co-creation and knowledge diffusion amongst the BSR. The DSH connects companies and research institutes to develop new innovative solutions to the challenges of ageing while promoting end-user engagement. However, it is imperative to ensure that the DSH functionalities are effective and useful and also sufficient for the users to develop innovative solutions. In this paper, the DSH is evaluated based on its usability and the effectiveness of its functionalities as well as ease of use and user perception to validate that the platform requirements match with the derived results. We use dimensions of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM2); “Perceived Usefulness”, “Perceived Ease of Use”, and “Attitude Towards Using” the technology along with dimensions of generic Collective Intelligence (CI) framework; staffing, processes, goals and motivation to evaluate the DSH. The outcomes of the research are aimed to help develop and evaluate similar platforms meant for the silver economy.

The effects of Virtual Reality from different visual perspectives on empathy.
Authors: Huang Dinghau , Pan Yuling
Published: June 2023

Virtual Reality (VR), as a modern technology, can embody perspective-taking, making people see the world through the eyes of others. Many research has found that VR can be an effective medium to facilitate empathy; besides, some studies have investigated the underlying mechanism of empathy facilitation through VR devices. The current research examines whether the difference in visual perspective, which are represented as the first or third-person point of view, would affect the empathy facilitation of VR users.We invited forty people, separated into two groups as the first-person perspective group (1PP) and the third-person perspective group (3PP). The subjects were asked to watch the video through VR devices with same contents but from different points of view. The results indicated that there was no significant difference in empathy facilitation between the two groups. However, after dividing empathy into two dimensions, affective and cognitive empathy, the former showed a significant difference. Experiencing from the third-person perspective, the subjects aroused more emotions, such as guilty and compassion, thereby cultivating empathy toward the character of the video. Furthermore, for the feelings of the VR experience, the subjects of 1PP and 3PP displayed great disparity as well. Most of the subjects of 3PP subjectively considered the experience good, while the others felt neutral.
Exploring the Application of Virtual Digital Human in the Transmission of Food Culture
Authors: Qiu Shuwen , Huang Zixuan , Long Ren
Published: June 2023

Food culture is an important branch of traditional Chinese culture, and it is an important medium for carrying civilization, memory and emotion. With the development of the Internet era, traditional food culture is gradually facing various challenges. First of all, the spread of traditional food culture is breaking down, impacting the information content of the public's exposure to food culture. Secondly, due to the rapidly accelerating pace of life, young people gradually lack initiative in acquiring food culture content, focusing more on the taste and preparation of food, making it more difficult to access the deeper food culture heritage. Thirdly , the input of multiple cultures has brought impact to traditional culture, and the living space of traditional food culture has been compressed.Currently, virtual digital humans are widely used in the meta-universe ecology, in which they take on the important role of producing and disseminating information, so virtual digital humans play an irreplaceable role in the inheritance of food culture. Through market research and other methods, this study finds that the existing culture transmission class platforms lack certain fun and initiative; through literature analysis method, experimental method, interview method and questionnaire method, it aims to prove that virtual digital human can play the role of connecting culture and life, and it can transmit the traditional Chinese food culture in a more amiable way.
Perceptions on Digital, Virtual Environments and the Metaverse. An Exploratory Study with Younger Users
Authors: Zallio Matteo , Korn Oliver
Published: June 2023

Digital, virtual environments and the metaverse are rapidly taking shape and will generate disruptive changes in the areas of ethics, privacy, safety, and how the relationships between human beings will be developed. To uncover some of some of the implications that will impact those areas, this study investigates the perceptions of 101 younger people from the generations Y and Z. We present a first exploratory analysis of the findings, focusing on knowledge and self-perception. Results show that these young generations are seriously doubting their knowledge on the metaverse and virtual worlds – regarding both the definition and the usage. It is interesting to see only a medium confidence level, considering that the participants are young and from an academic environment, which should increase their interest in and the affinity towards virtual worlds. Males from both generations perceive themselves as significantly more knowledgeable than females. Regarding a fitting definition, almost 40% agreed on the metaverse as a “universal and immersive virtual world that is made accessible using virtual reality and augmented reality technologies”. Regarding the topic in general, several participants (almost 40%) considered themselves sceptics or “just” users (38%). Interestingly, generation Y participants were more likely than the younger generation Z participants to identify themselves as early adopters or innovators. In result, the considerable amount of “mixed feelings” regarding digital, virtual environments and the metaverse shows that in-depth studies on the perception of the metaverse as well as its ethical and integrity implications are required to create more accessible, inclusive, safe, and inclusive digital, virtual environments.
DesignDAO - Concept of a Decentralized Autonomous Organization for managing Human-Centered Design
Authors: Glomann Leonhard
Published: June 2023

The DesignDAO is a concept of planning, conducting and auditing Human-Centered Design (HCD) through a Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO). Human-Centered Design is commonly executed by multidisciplinary teams of skilled experts in the fields of psychology, design and IT amongst others. The activities of HCD – process planning, context analysis, requirements engineering, prototyping and evaluation – result in several defined work packages for each project. Each work package requires a certain mix of skills, found in different individuals. A DAO distributes decision-making, management, and entity ownership amongst the organization’s community. The concept of the DesignDAO describes how HCD work packages can get organized, managed and controlled in a decentralized, autonomous fashion.
The Metaverse as an AI-mediated Tool of Targeted Persuasion
Authors: Rosenberg Louis
Published: June 2023

Over the next five to ten years, the metaverse will transform our digital lives from flat media viewed in the third person to immersive media experienced in the first person. While the core technologies of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are not inherently dangerous to consumers, many advocacy groups and policymakers have raised concerns about the expansive surveillance capabilities that large platforms could deploy across populations. What is often overlooked, however, is how surveillance-related risks could be significantly amplified if metaverse platforms are also allowed to simultaneously deploy targeted promotional content as real-time immersive experiences. When considered in the context of Control Theory (CT), the pairing of real-time surveillance with real-time influence raises serious new concerns, for it could enable interactive platforms to become extremely efficient instruments for targeted deception, manipulation, and persuasion. These risks are further increased by the growing likelihood that AI-controlled avatars (i.e., Virtual Spokespeople) that look, speak, and behave like authentic human users will be used as a primary tool of targeted influence within immersive environments. For these reasons, policymakers must consider limiting the ability of metaverse platforms to deploy real-time immersive influence campaigns, especially when conversational AI technologies are utilized. As described herein, conversational AI paired with real-time behavioral and emotional monitoring could enable profoundly dangerous tools for deploying targeted influence campaigns that compromise the epistemic agency of populations at scale.

Current Trends and Controversies on Female Genitourinary Fistula: A Review Article
Authors: Fehintola Akintunde O , Ajiboye Akinyosoye D , Foyeke Abdur-Raheem Z , Oluwole Ayegbusi E
Published: June 2023

Female genitourinary fistula (FGF) is an atypical connection between the female genitourinary system and the urinary tract. The abovementioned issue presents a dire public health concern and significantly affects the affected individuals’ quality of life. The classification of fistulae arising from the genitourinary tract encompasses a range of types, including vesicovaginal (VVF), rectovaginal (RVF), uterovesical (UVF), and urinary fistula, with the particular manifestation dependent upon the site of perforation.

The development of consistent guidelines for FGF care poses a challenge due to the variability of clinical conditions. The selection of an appropriate treatment protocol is contingent upon the surgeon conducting the treatment and the resources at their disposal. In the medical field, it is advisable for surgeons to contemplate implementing conservative treatment methods, particularly in patients thoroughly assessed and deemed suitable for this approach.

Delayed repair of FGF results in superior outcomes compared to early repair. The transvaginal repair approach is favored due to its advantageous features. Anticholinergic pharmacotherapeutics may be employed during the postoperative phase to enhance the therapeutic course of the bladder.

Healthcare providers can refer their patients to a tertiary care facility with advanced resources and specialized expertise, provided the necessary facilities are available. Surgeons undergoing training and adapting to emerging trends are advised to enhance their proficiency in repairing vesicovaginal fistula (VVF).

The performance of a Kalina-based multigeneration cycle for power, water, and hydrogen production is investigated from thermo-environmental, sustainability, and thermo-economic perspectives. The plant comprises a gas turbine (GT), Kalina cycle (KC), and vapor absorption system (VAS) as the bottoming cycle and an integrated domestic water heater and proton-electron membrane (PEM) electrolyzer for hydrogen production. The system's models were simulated with Engineering Equation Solver (EES) codes. The results indicate a net energy efficiency of 53.48% and exergy efficiencies of 50.05 %, with an additional 30,178 kW of products from the bottoming cycles. The GT contributed approximately 85.81 % of the overall exergy destruction. The system's exergo-thermal index (ETI) stood at 1.713, with the GT only having an ETI of 2.106. Similarly, the exergetic sustainability index (ESI) of the multigeneration plant was not greater than 2.04. The exergoeconomic analysis shows a low average energy cost from the GT, estimated at 0.836 $/GJ, compared to the Kalina subsystem, which stood at 6.53 $/GJ. The thermodynamic and cost evaluation of the system demonstrates substantial benefits from the plant, which kept the hydrogen production rate at 0.1524 kg/hr.

Participativno raziskovanje pridobiva pozornost. V babištvu in zdravstveni negi je poudarek pogosto dan klinični praksi, potrebe raziskovalcev pa so zanemarjene. Primerjalna anketna raziskava je bila izvedena z uporabo kvantitativnih deskriptivnih raziskovalnih metod empiričnega raziskovanja. Podatki so bili zbrani z vprašalniki, vzorec pa je obsegal 228 babic in medicinskih sester. Analiza podatkov je vključevala osnovne opisne statistike z izračuni frekvenc in odstotkov. Statistično pomembne razlike so bile določene z χ2-testom. Več kot polovica anketirancev ni imela izkušenj z raziskavami v lastni delovni praksi. Večina jih je izrazila zanimanje za stopnjo načrtovanja vsebin, najmanj želena stopnja pa je bilo poročanje o ugotovitvah študije. Največje ovire so bile pomanjkanje izobraževanja na področju raziskovanja in pomanjkanje znanja o raziskovalnih metodologijah. Rezultati poudarjajo pomen ustanovitve raziskovalnih skupin, ki bi zaposlenim pomagale pridobiti raziskovalne izkušnje. Naše ugotovitve povečujejo ozaveščenost glede ovir za participativno raziskovanje med babicami in medicinskimi sestrami. Skrb za identifikacijo ovir pri uvajanju praks, ki temeljijo na dokazih, je prisotna predvsem zato, ker babice in medicinske sestre vztrajajo pri neuvajanju na dokazih temelječih praks.

Published: June 2023

Neizvedena zdravstvena nega je koncept, ki obsega zavedno ali nezavedno popolno opustitev izvedbe določenih aktivnosti zdravstvene nege, časovno preložitev izvedbe ali le delno izvedbo določene aktivnosti. Z raziskavo smo želeli ugotoviti, katere so najpogostejše aktivnosti zdravstvene nege, ki jih medicinske sestre in tehniki zdravstvene nege v zdravstvenih in socialnovarstvenih zavodih ne izvedejo, ter kateri so najpogostejši vzroki za to. Presečna raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativnem raziskovalnem pristopu. Za zbiranje podatkov smo uporabili vprašalnik »The MISSCARE Survey«, podatke pa smo zbrali s spletno anketo 1KA. Anketo je v celoti izpolnilo 180 izvajalcev zdravstvene nege, ki imajo v povprečju več kot 10 let delovnih izkušenj. Ugotovili smo, da medicinske sestre najpogosteje ne izvedejo dokumentiranja vseh zahtevanih podatkov (M = 1,86, SD = 1,21), prav tako ne tudi tehniki zdravstvene nege (M = 1,69, SD = 1,29). Sodelujoči v raziskavi so kot najpomembnejši vzrok za neizvedeno zdravstveno nego navedli neustrezno število kadra (M = 1,59, SD = 0,96). Neizvedena zdravstvena nega lahko negativno vpliva na izide pacientovega zdravljenja, lahko povzroči neželene dogodke in zaplete.

Published: June 2023

The aging-related factors of population, environment, physical inactivity and unhealthy diet have emerged as significant contributors to the onset of vascular aging, which poses a crucial risk for various diseases including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart failure and stroke. The structural, phenotypic, and functional changes in vasculature resulting from aging are critical in the pathogenesis of vascular aging-related diseases. Numerous molecular and cellular phenomena, including oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, vascular inflammation, cellular senescence, and epigenetic alterations, are closely linked to the pathophysiology of vascular aging. Given the escalating hospitalization rates attributed to vascular aging-related illness, the need for efficacious interventions to counteract the decline in vascular function is becoming increasingly pressing. This review provides an overview of recent developments in vascular aging-related disorders, encompassing cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, chronic kidney diseases, and sarcopenia. Furthermore, a comprehensive examination of the pathogenesis of aging is conducted, and the implementation of intervention strategies (including drug and lifestyle interventions) can effectively mitigate the onset and progression of aging-related ailments, thereby facilitating the achievement of healthy aging and longevity.

Practices and Challenges of Government Public Accountability During the COVID-19 Pandemic: The Response of the British Government
Authors: Li Jianannan
Published: June 2023

Since the COVID-19 pandemic, government response and accountability have been widely discussed by researchers. This research explores and evaluates the government’s response to the crisis and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on accountability. This is achieved by discussing the concept of accountability from the perspective of institutional theory. This study uses unstructured literature review methods and a single case study designed with qualitative research methods. The data comes from secondary data (such as British public sector social media, websites, and published reports). It analyses the dynamics of public accountability in the UK during the pandemic. This research shows that during the COVID-19 pandemic, the traditional public accountability system will be challenged, and the government has made some failed responses. At the same time, national audit institutions and researchers should consider exploring a new accountability system to improve accountability efficiency, which will help increase public participation and government transparency, and combat corruption in prolonged crises. Through the reflection on the crisis period, this study strengthens the understanding of accountability in the crisis period, and puts forward some suggestions to improve accountability, which can enlighten decision-makers on how to arrange public accountability in the future.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SIMULTANEOUS IMPUTATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF TIME SERIES INCOMPLETE DATA
Authors:   Le Quy Don Technical University, Nguyen Chi Cong
Published: June 2023

Classification with time series data has many practical applications in finance, medicine, manufacturing, energy, transportation, and agriculture. However, time series data is often plagued by missing values, which not only decreases the accuracy but also increases the complexity of classification models. A common approach to address classification with missing data is to use imputation methods to estimate the missing values before constructing classification models. Recurrent neural network models have been shown to be effective in estimating missing values for time series data. On the other hand, convolutional neural network models have demonstrated their effectiveness in building classification models for time series data. However, there has been no research that specifically addresses how to combine these two types of models to simultaneously address the problem of time series classification with incomplete data. Therefore, in this paper, a model combining recurrent neural networks and convolutional neural networks is proposed to build a model that can simultaneously estimate missing values and classify time series data. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed model performs better than the existing methods for time series classification with incomplete data.

La pédagogie de la musique – du processus de création de l’œuvre, en passant par son interprétation, jusqu’à son analyse – est mise au défi par la nature éminemment changeante, évolutive, de la musique. Toute musique suppose le recours à la mise en œuvre de techniques et technologies, que ce soit pour la composition – « calcul secret » (Risset, 1977) qui se nourrit de l’« artifice d’écriture » (Dufourt, 1981) – ou pour la construction de ses instruments. Mais l’utilisation de l’informatique en musique rend encore plus patente la nécessité de pédagogies assumant pleinement la responsabilité de donner à comprendre les enjeux conceptuels qui la sous-tendent et conditionnent les pratiques qui en découlent, et par voie de conséquence, la nécessité d’outils et méthodes appropriés et innovants. D’où l’importance d’un projet comme celui de cette publication, qui, si elle ne peut prétendre faire l’inventaire de manière exhaustive de ce domaine protéiforme, pose néanmoins des jalons et fait date de manière ambitieuse. Les enjeux sont effectivement considérables, si l’on veut notamment éviter un nivellement de l’enseignement autour des seuls outils commerciaux, considérés aujourd’hui comme standards de facto, tel Ableton Live, enseigné de manière dominante (d’après ce que j’ai pu moi-même constater) aussi bien dans les écoles de musique aux États-Unis qu’en Europe. Quels que soient en effet les mérites d’un outil particulier, ne pas savoir par qui, comment et pour quel usage musical il

La hiperplasia prostática benigna es una tumoración benigna tiene repercusiones en la calidad de vida de los pacientes. Se presenta con mayor frecuencia en hombres a medida que envejecen. No se ha establecido con exactitud la etiología de esta patología, sin embargo, se relaciona con la edad, procesos infecciosos, inflamatorios, antecedentes familiares, cambios en los valores de testosterona y cambios en la dieta. A nivel de la práctica clínica es primordial implantar métodos para la evaluación de los pacientes con síntomas urinarios a causa de la HPB. Por ende, para esclarecer un adecuado diagnóstico se debe realizar una evaluación inicial, incluyendo el puntaje IPSS, tacto rectal al examen físico, datos de laboratorios (PSA sérico, EGO y una PFR), estudios de imagen como la ecografía. Dentro de las estrategias de manejo inicial se incluyó: para los casos leves y moderados tratamiento farmacológico con alfa bloqueadores o inhibidores de la enzima 5 alfa reductasa, y para los casos moderados a severos la sinergia de ambos medicamentos. Se determinó que en caso de que la sintomatología no responda al tratamiento con estos fármacos se puede tomar en cuenta el tratamiento quirúrgico como la prostatectomía abierta, resección transuretral, además de procedimientos mínimamente invasivo como la termoterapia transuretral con microondas y la ablación prostática transuretral con aguja y resección transuretral monopolar de la próstata. Para concluir la HPB es una patología con una muy alta prevalencia a nivel mundial por lo que su tratamiento debe ser individualizado y establecido previo a la aparición de complicaciones.
Perception in implementing English as a medium of instruction: A phenomenological study in Upper Secondary Levels S. Y. 2022-2023
Authors: Aron-Salvacion Jezelle
Published: June 2023

This study focuses on the perception of Senior High School learners in implementing English as a medium of instruction. The goal is to assess how the students appreciate the use of English as a medium of instruction and how willing they are to have the instruction in full English. The researcher examines the students using an interview to gather data on how the learners are ready in having a full English class in specific subjects. The study promotes the importance of the English language in developing the learner's academic and personal growth. This targeted the informants that have experiences in limited use of a second language in class discussion and how it impacts their progress in mastering the English language. The problem of this study is how mixed languages developed a gap in the learning process of the learners that also hinders them to practice the second language. Based on the conducted study, the students prefer to have a second language as a medium of instruction despite the challenges they encounter such as in communicating with other people, constructing sentences, conceptualizing ideas, and the like. The reason behind the willingness of the students was they believed that for them to learn the language, practicing it should be the best option. This study is conducted to address the phenomenon that concerns the vocabulary and communication of the learners in using English and effectively encourage its benefit that they can take advantage of in the future.

Die Rolle des I./SS-Gendarmerie-Bataillons (mot.) bei der Vernichtung der europäischen Jüdinnen und Juden, der Massengewalt gegen die polnische Bevölkerung sowie bei der Widerstandsbekämpfung im besetzten Polen wurde bislang kaum aufgearbeitet. Dabei erreichten die Verbrechen dieser 1942 aufgestellten NS-Sondereinheit eine vergleichbare Dimension wie die mörderische Gewalt, die von bereits intensiver erforschten Polizei- und SS-Truppen ausging. Marius Seydel schließt diese Forschungslücke. Er analysiert Taten, Einsatzräume und -strukturen sowie das Personal des Gendarmerie-Bataillons. Verbunden ist damit eine erstmalige Untersuchung der Polizeisparte der Gendarmerie selbst und des Institutionengeflechts im ›Generalgouvernement‹. Darauf aufbauend entwickelt die Studie einen neuen intermediären Ansatz der NS-Täterforschung, der struktur-, personen- und situationenbezogene Erklärungen für Tathandeln nicht länger dichotomisch gegenüberstellt, sondern sie vermittelt. Die Voraussetzungen für die mehrjährige Mitwirkung der Bataillonsangehörigen an Massenmorden werden auf diese Weise als Ermöglichungsverhältnisse in den Blick genommen.
Sexkauf
Authors: Mack Elke , Rommelfanger Ulrich
Published: June 2023

In this work, the current German prostitution legislation (ProstG i.V.m. ProstSchG) is subjected to a legal-ethical and constitutional examination by experts in the field.
In this respect, the legislative assumption of the voluntariness of sex purchase is questioned, as is the right to sexual self-determination of prostitutes with regard to their dignity examined.
For this purpose, in a first step, the legalisation of prostitution will be reviewed in the context of international and European law.
Finally, the question of compliance with human dignity in prostitution is answered with regard to legal ethics.
In a second step, the existing legislation is examined for its constitutionality on the basis of fundamental rights.

In contrast to upward information the topic of information duties of a parent company towards its subsidiaries has received next to no attention. This is hardly surprising since efficient information systems are part of a good corporate group governance and since the subsidiaries’ boards might not want to press those who are calling the shots in the supervisory board. The question of whether, when and to what extent a controlling company must provide information in response to questions or even clarify matters on its own initiative nev-ertheless deserves more attention. It not only matters in a crisis, but is relevant every day as a component of group related governance.
