description: Mitsprache in der Digitalisierung und systematischer, praxisnaher Einbezug von Nutzenden in die Entwicklung gesundheitsrelevanter Technologien ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit. Dieser Beitrag zeigt auf, dass der Einbezug von Nutzenden in die Entwicklungsprozesse komplex ist. Diese Komplexibilität beginnt schon bei der Definition der Nutzenden. Entsprechend ihrer Charakteristiken gestaltet sich ihr Einbezug unterschiedlich aufwendig. Denn Nutzende können einerseits Gesundheitsfachpersonen aber andererseits auch Personen mit Erkrankung, Beeinträchtigung und Behinderung sowie ihre Angehörigen sein. Ohne eine sorgfältige Analyse der Situation, in der sich die Nutzenden befinden und mit welchen krankheits- oder beeinträchtigungsbedingten Herausforderungen sie konfrontiert sind, kann kein umfassender Einbezug erfolgen. Dies verlangt von den Personen, welche gesundheitsrelevante Technologien gemeinsam mit den Nutzenden entwickeln, einerseits hohe fachliche Kompetenzen und andererseits Kompetenzen in den Bereichen Kommunikation, Moderations- und Gruppentechniken sowie Kenntnisse über die Situation, in der sich die Nutzenden befinden. Ohne interdisziplinäre Vernetzung und Zusammenarbeit scheinen diese Anforderungen kaum erfüllbar. Der Beitrag führt in die Thematik ein, zeigt die Herausforderungen aber auch die Notwendigkeit der klaren Charakterisierung der Nutzenden auf und beschreibt, wie ein systematischer Einbezug von Nutzenden gesundheitsrelevanter Technologien gelingen kann. Zudem werden Lücken im erfolgreichen Einbezug von Nutzern beschrieben und Anregungen für zukünftige Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeit aufgezeigt.

description: Transportation is a major sector of energy consumption in most, if not in all, European countries. Besides the energy used for traction, energy is also consumed for ventilation, heating, and cooling inside the vehicles to assure traveler comfort. This issue gains increasing importance as the demand for public transport increases in the future. There is a need for retrofit to improve the thermal resistance of the envelope of existing vehicles to reduce the heat loss to the environment during the cold period of the year, especially in the Alpine region. A major concern in adding insulation material to the envelope is the possibility of convective moisture transfer due to air circulation in the vehicle, which would cause condensation accumulation on the cold surfaces. The present investigation addresses this topic by measuring surface and air temperature, air moisture, air flow, and heat flow at several critical locations of a vehicle during its travel in the Swiss Alpine region over several months during the cold period of the year. Temperature measurements showed the potential of reducing the heat losses in some parts of the vehicle. The level and duration of the moisture exposure did not suggest a relevant formation of condensation in the cross-section of the vehicle wall. The observed increase in relative humidity when driving through tunnels is too short to cause relevant condensation in the vehicle shell. The measured low air flow justifies the assumption that no forced convection occurs in the envelope cavities.

description: Faba bean and hemp protein blends offer potential for the formulation of plant-based products due to their complementary amino acid compositions. This study evaluated the chemical composition, particle size, protein solubility and foaming properties of four commercial protein concentrates (two faba bean-based: FBC1 and FBC2, and two hemp-based: HPC1 and HPC2) and their blends at different faba bean/hemp protein ratios. The concentrates consisted mainly of albumins and globulins, some of which could have suffered alterations during processing, especially in HPC2 and FBC2. Both FBCs and HPCs made proportional contributions to the protein solubility observed in the blends. However, FBC1:HPC2 blends consistently demonstrated smaller particle sizes across all investigated ratios than those predicted by linear interpolation. Foaming properties of the four concentrates were comparable, except for HPC2, which did not foam. FBC1:HPC2 blends formed stable foams, whereas FBC2:HPC2 blends resulted in unstable foams. These results suggested that foam-destabilising factors were dominant in HPC2, which were counteracted by foam-stabilising factors in FBC1 and/or dilution effects. FBC1:HPC2 blends exhibited early indications of synergistic interactions, enhancing foam properties. This study demonstrates the potential of faba bean and hemp protein blends for foam-based food applications and the importance of considering their extraction processing history.

Beyond the gallery: The art museum shop and the visitor experience
Creators: name: Brower, Laura M.
Publisher: name: American University

description: As art museums become increasingly reliant on museum shops for earned income, the impact of retail on the visitor experience demands consideration. This paper argues that the store is an active and positive site of exchange between the visitor and the museum. I analyze results from a small visitor survey undertaken at two Washington, DC museums, the Phillips Collection and the National Museum of Women for the Arts. I discuss these findings in light of relevant scholarship in museum learning and cultural consumption. I then place these conclusions within current debates about the value of art museum stores. This thesis' hypothesis is that the museum store provides visitors with a means of extending their art experience in ways that reflect its importance to their sense of self. Museum shops enable visitors to bring their aesthetic experience home and integrate it in a meaningful fashion into their daily lives.
Variable stiffness structures via mechanics modification and antagonistic actuation in soft robotic materials

Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2020
Subjects: Robots--Materials

description: The soft robotics approach seeks to provide the efficiency and autonomy of robots while using soft materials that are safe for interaction with humans and delicate objects. The inherent weakness of flexible materials renders ordinary usage of soft materials inadequate for robots that need to exert large forces. In this paper, two classes of mechanisms for variable stiffness structures are explored: intrinsic variable stiffness and dual antagonistic actuation. This work proposes designs and modeling strategies for variable stiffness structures that incorporate smart materials (to enable modification of intrinsic mechanical properties), geometric patterning of low melting point materials (to enable directional stiffness control), and pneumatic/shape memory alloy antagonistic actuation (to enable independent control of stiffness and bending). Whereas other researchers have focused on controlling the magnitude of stiffness in soft materials, this paper also explores soft robotic structures with directional stiffness control. The mechanical properties of the materials are tested via tension, compression, and 3-point bend tests. Kinematic modeling of the patterned structure relies on the product of exponentials method for serial link robots, then incorporates tendon forces and selectable axes for the kinetic relationships. A finite element model is constructed in MATLAB to predict the configuration of the pneumatic/shape memory alloy actuator based on measured material properties. Each of the proposed designs are fabricated and tested to demonstrate their variable stiffness capabilities and compare with modeling results.

Dual credit programs and their impacts on students and community colleges in the state of Washington

description: Partnerships between secondary and post-secondary institutions that allow high school students to earn college credit have become an important aspect of the American education system. These dual credit programs may help reduce the cost of college and the time it takes to complete a college degree. In the state of Washington, the enactment of ESSHB 1546 solidified dual credit programs as a legitimate piece of the state's education system. Policymakers advocate for dual credit programs as a means of introducing historically non-dominant populations to college (Taylor, 2015; Tobolowsky, 2016). For many post-secondary institutions, especially community colleges, this is enough reason to establish and offer dual credit programs. From a student success perspective, there are few demographic comparisons on who is utilizing these programs. From an institutional success perspective, there is limited information about whether students are using these programs as a stepping-stone to a 4-year university without completing a degree at the community college. This study is a quantitative evaluation of the impacts of dual credit programs on Washington community colleges and its students. The purpose is to assess relationships that may exist between dual credit programs and community college completion rates. The findings suggest that overall, dual credit programs have positive outcomes for both students and institutions. However, outcomes are not equitable among different demographics. These findings may lead to the consideration of additional or revised questions and further research, which may examine if anything were missing from current legislation.
Signal processing for detection and classification

Subjects: Signal Processing

description: With the rise of the internet and digital information technology, various signals are flooding our world. As a result, detection and classification of signals have become very important. Traditionally, fixed features were been used to detect and classify signals. However, complexity and quantity of signals are extremely increased in recent years; as a result, analysis through artificial intelligence is inevitable. In the thesis, a new signal processing design for detecting seizure from Electroencephalogram (EEG) recorded from healthy people and epileptic patients has been introduced. Discrete wavelet transform (DWT) and neural network are used to analyze EEG signal. Five groups of EEG signal samples, in which three groups from patients and two groups from healthy subjects, have been tested in the study. With information from both time domain provided by DWT and a high-performance neural network model, the detection system shows a high accuracy on detecting ictal seizures signal, which was approximately 95%. Furthermore, five specific clinical questions have been addressed, and the model for each question has been trained independently. Results for these questions have been judged by calculating F1 score for binary classification or micro- macro- F1 score for multi-class classification. The results showed that the size of samples is a key point toward training a high-performance neural network model.

Representations of homelessness in contemporary American literature and popular culture

Year: 2020
Subjects: Homelessness in literature
Homelessness in mass media

description: This thesis explores representations of homelessness using Kristra Ratcliffe's feminist-rhetorical methodology of Rhetorical Eavesdropping to render audible the cultural logics of neoliberalization and racism that both cause and exacerbate houselessness. Dominant narratives that portray houselessness as a result of personal failure serve to disguise increased privatization, cuts to social services including public housing and healthcare, and environmental deregulation that are principally responsible for the displacement, exploitation, and disposability of human beings for the purpose of capital accumulation. John Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath and Cherrie Moraga's Heroes and Saints are analyzed dialectically for their depictions of colonialism and accumulation through displacement. Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man, Sonia Nazario's Enrique's Journey, and Annamarie Tailfeathers' narrative in Desiree Hellegers' No Room of Her Own are explored as counter narratives that centralize the voices of houseless people, complicate stigmatization, and render audible the material realities of houselessness. Hubert Selby Jr.'s Last Exit to Brooklyn, Mary Harron's American Psycho, and indie-rock band alt-J's hit song, "Fitzpleasure," are interrogated for their underlying themes of gendered and racialized violence in accordance with capitalist ideology. This project therefore attempts to outline common threads for understanding the complex and varied realities of houselessness and concludes by identifying the prevalence of these themes in programs intended to aid the fight for housing justice.

This is a very problematic genus, including species that evidently do not agree with the characters of the type species of the genus. According to Nascimento et al. (2020): “Accordingly, any description or redescription must provide a good character or characters separating Anisopodus from Hyperplatys. While a complete and detailed revision of these two genera is not made, we believe that the following character set can be used to separate them:— Anisopodus: metafemora distinctly surpassing elytral apex in male (rarely not so); metafemoral club not strongly enlarged; metatarsomere I longer than II–V together;— Hyperplatys: metafemora not or slightly surpassing elytral apex in male; metafemoral club strongly enlarged; metatarsomere I not longer than II–V together.” Number of species currently included: 44.

Determining the optimal preparation temperature and particle size for fresh, pulse-based spaghetti
Creators: name: Price, Chelsea Ann
Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Cooking (Legumes)

description: Pulses, such as yellow split peas, have grown in popularity in the food sector as a fortified functional ingredient. Pulses are known for a variety of nutritional benefits, such as high dietary fiber, high protein content, as well as having complementary essential amino acids to cereal grains. With a new global fascination with pulses, pulse research in the food sector is rapidly evolving. The research covered throughout this thesis was designed to optimize milling conditions and define optimal mill stream mixtures for the creation of straight grade flour for applications into bread and batter-based bake systems as well as determine the efficacy of pulse flour utilization for pasta production. For the milling study, results showed efficient milling of yellow split pea on a roller mill in producing a small particle size. In comparison to wheat, yellow split peas exhibited physical and chemical uniformity with limited differences among the mill streams. The largest, observed difference between yellow split peas and wheat is the substantially higher flour recovery observed with peas of ~99%. For the fresh pasta study, the quality of three different pulses, garbanzo beans (chickpeas), yellow split pea, and red lentils, were compared to a fresh semolina pasta as a quality standard. The effects of extrusion temperature and particle size on fresh pasta quality were examined. It was concluded that: (1) higher extrusion temperature and finer particle size generated the highest quality pasta in terms of cooking qualities and cooked texture; and (2) the best quality fresh pulse-based pasta was hot extruded garbanzo bean pasta made from medium particle-size flour. Future work is needed to determine how the application of pulses into traditional cereal-based products affects sensory properties and overall acceptability. Once completed quality standards for pulses and pulse flours can be determined.

description: This study presents a descriptive analysis of training methods currently being used by professional trainers in U.S.-based pre-departure intercultural training programs for professional, adult sojourners. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews and a web-based survey, which was distributed to 84 professional pre-departure intercultural trainers. Related background information is presented, including key issues and theories, the origins of the methods, and the growth of key intercultural training organizations. Current organizations conducting pre-departure training, profiles of the organizations included in the interviews, and an analysis of the organizations responding to the survey are presented. The results describe the history, process, origins, and current frequency of use of seventeen pre-departure intercultural training methods. The methods used in four select organizations are discussed in detail. The study concludes with a discussion of the findings as related to the key issues and theories and a discussion of current trends and changes in pre-departure intercultural training.

title: Impacts and effectiveness of a bilingual, organic farm incubator program

Subjects: New agricultural enterprises

description: Farm incubator programs aim to support new entry farmers by reducing barriers to entry including access to land, infrastructure, equipment, markets, capital and education. Although over 130 farm incubator programs now exist across the country, little research exists on the effectiveness of these programs. To address this gap, I performed an in-depth case study of the bilingual, organic farm incubator program at Viva Farms in western Washington. The goal of this project was to determine whether incubator programs similar to the one at Viva Farms offer an effective and inclusive educational method to establish new entry farmers as skilled natural resource managers and contributors to sustainable community food systems. This research was conducted in 2016 through interviews with current and past participants and participant observation. Research findings indicated that 82 percent of all Viva Farms participants since the program’s founding in 2010 were still farming in 2016 and 92 percent of all participants plan to continue farming as a business. Additionally, data showed expanded access to farming for underrepresented groups in comparison with national farmer demographics with participant demographics consisting of 52 percent minority farmers, 46 percent with less than high school education, 26 percent under age 35 and 41 percent female farmers. Findings revealed that the educational approaches utilized by the incubator were highly effective in supporting participant implementation of agroecological production practices. Additionally, participant responses indicated increases in social capital and cross-cultural capacity in community food systems as a result of program participation. My results suggest that the farm incubator educational model can increase access to farming for diverse participants and can be an effective educational tool for the future success of beginning organic farmers. Continued research is needed to monitor farmer transition from the incubator to independent farming and the sustained application of agroecological practices. If the results hold over time and this model can be replicated in multiple locations, it appears the farm incubator model could form part of the solution to solving the national aging farmer crisis and assist in the transformation towards more sustainable regional agriculture and food systems.
„Ich übe meinen Beruf einfach gerne aus und wir haben es gut“ - Motivation von Pflegefachpersonen ab 50 Jahren im Beruf zu verbleiben

description: Der Mangel an Pflegefachkräften im Gesundheitswesen ist ein europaweites Problem. Allein in der Schweiz haben 56% der Pflegefachpersonen ab 50 Jahren den Pflegeberuf verlassen. Aufgrund des Fachkräftemangels und der enormen persönlichen und fachlichen Ressourcen, die durch den Berufsausstieg dieser Mitarbeitenden für die Gesundheitsversorgung verloren gehen, ist es unabdingbar, dass dem Personalerhalt erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit geschenkt wird. Deshalb war das Ziel dieser Studie Faktoren zu beschreiben, die Pflegefachpersonen ab 50 Jahren dazu motivieren bis zur ordentlichen Pensionierung in der direkten Pflege im Akutspital tätig zu sein. Im Rahmen einer qualitativen deskriptiven Studie wurden drei Fokusgruppeninterviews mit 12 Pflegefachpersonen ab 50 Jahren an einer privaten Spitalgruppe in der Schweiz geführt. Die Datenanalyse folgte der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring. Die Teilnehmenden erleben besonders die Freude und Verbundenheit zum Pflegeberuf, die gute Zusammenarbeit im Pflegeteam, die erfahrene Anerkennung und Wertschätzung und die Möglichkeit bei der Verrichtung der täglichen Arbeit selbstbestimmt (eigenständig, selbstständig) handeln zu können als bedeutende Einflussfaktoren, um dauerhaft und gerne im Pflegeberuf zu verbleiben.
description: The shortage of nurses in the healthcare sector is a problem throughout Europe. In Switzerland alone, 56% of registered nurses aged 50 and over have left the nursing profession. Due to the shortage of healthcare sector professionals and the enormous personal and professional resources that are lost within the health care system when these workers leave the profession, it is important to pay more attention to the retention of staff. The aim of this study was, therefore, to describe the factors that motivate registered nurses aged 50 and older, to work in direct care in the acute hospital setting until retirement. Using a qualitative descriptive study, three focus group interviews with 12 registered nurses aged 50 and over. They took place in a group of private hospitals in Switzerland. The data was analyzed according to the content analysis framework of Mayring. The participants experience the following parts of their work as significant influencing factors to permanently remain in the profession: Enjoyment of the connection with the nursing profession, the good cooperation in the nursing team, the recognition and appreciation, and the possibility of being able to act independently in carrying out their daily work.
