description: Background: The advent of direct-acting antiviral (DAA) medications has facilitated opportunities to treat hepatitis C virus (HCV) among people who inject drugs (PWID). However, there remains a need for data about how to optimally support PWID throughout DAA posttreatment trajectories, including with regard to re-infection prevention. The objective of this study is therefore to identify how PWID with lived experience of HCV describe their expectations and experiences related to health and social outcomes, contexts, and substance use practices following completion of DAA treatment. Methods: We thematically analyzed data from in-depth, semi-structured interviews, conducted between January and June 2018, in Vancouver, Canada, with a purposive sample (n=50) of PWID at various stages of DAA treatment (e.g., pre, peri, post). Results: Our analysis yielded three themes. First, while participants had hoped to experience holistic enhancements in wellbeing following HCV cure, discussions of actual post-treatment experiences tended to be located in physical health (e.g., increased energy). Second, participants often pointed to the ways in which HCV-related and other stigmas had restricted opportunities for health and healthcare access. Participants therefore identified stigma-reduction as a key motivator of HCV cure, and while reductions in internalized stigma were sometimes achieved, participants underscored that other forms of enacted stigma (e.g., related to: substance use, HIV, poverty) had continued to feature prominently in their posttreatment lives. Third, participants described considerable knowledge about how to prevent HCV re-infection following cure, but they also expressed apprehensiveness about how socio-structural barriers, including stigma and criminalization, could interfere with harm reduction and re-infection prevention efforts. Conclusions: DAAs are transforming the health and wellbeing of some PWID. Yet, HCV-related policy must extend beyond the scale-up of DAAs to include concerted public health investments, including anti-stigma efforts and improvements to the social welfare system, to meaningfully advance equity in PWID’s post-treatment trajectories and outcomes.

description: It has become increasingly possible to track and represent our emotions to get better understanding of them. However, whereas our emotions are ephemeral and fluctuate, common representations of emotions look true, permanent, and scientific. To explore how we can represent emotions in a way that is closer to how we feel and experience them, Emotion Bouquet was created. Emotion Bouquet consist of four pneumatic flowers that represent the four emotions of anger, sadness, calmness, and happiness through the shape, color, and movement of each flower. Pneumatics were used to created breathing patterns that replicate the our breathing during the respective emotions. For the color mappings, we relied on existing literature. Emotion Bouquet was deployed during a two-day exhibition. With this work, we aim to show the potential of soft robotic, physical data representations for the representation of emotions.

description: This short position paper explores the potential of Extended Reality technologies to serve as valid proxies for real-world settings, particularly in the field of Human-Robot Interaction. With advancements in devices like Microsoft's HoloLens 2, Extended Reality simulations may replicate real-world experiences closely enough to transform industrial and research workflows. This transformation could reduce costs and the need for physical experimental setups. The paper discusses the critical factors towards achieving this ideal. We therefore discuss convincing simulations, the importance of evaluating user responses, and our own current efforts within in that regard. By conducting comparative studies and leveraging the potential of Extended Reality technologies, we aim to understand better the conditions under which Extended Reality can effectively substitute for certain physical settings, providing valuable insights for future research.
Reassessing health crisis communication for a generation dealing with crisis fatigue
Creators: name: Palencia, Janine
Publisher: name: Capilano University

description: How does crisis fatigue affect a generation expressing declining trust towards public institutions? What would happen if another major health crisis broke out? How can public health cut through the noise in a media landscape saturated with misinformation? This paper seeks to understand how the Generation Z (Gen Z) experience of growing up with crisis media impacts interaction with health crisis and risk communications, and how to adapt existing frameworks to consider this emergent phenomenon. Building off research contextualized by the COVID-19 pandemic, the foundation of this study was developed around concepts of information overload and message fatigue. Analysis was conducted on existing health communication frameworks, social media campaigns from public health authorities in British Columbia, online discourse around crisis fatigue, and survey data on Gen Z’s mental health and media consumption habits. This study hopes to open inquiry into current health crisis and risk communication frameworks, with the goal of reassessing guidance to consider novel phenomenon experienced by younger generations.

description: In this article, we explore the value of political psychology in the interdisciplinary field of risk research with empirical examples from Germany. Starting from the definition of risk as a probability of the realization of a negative event, we argue that politics and policies are of crucial importance in the construction and perception of risks on different levels. First, politics – in interrelation with the media – directly affect how voters perceive the probabilities of an undesirable event happening. Second, exogenous shocks can lead to drastic shifts in public opinion, which can change the democratic majority for certain policies. Third, voters differ in their personal risk attitudes. The degree of personal risk aversion directly and indirectly affects the distribution of preferences for policies and policy makers. The perspective of political psychology in particular provides us with heuristics and determinants which explain individual risk assessments and risk attitudes. These include among others the degree of habituation to the risk source, its potential for catastrophic outcomes or the impression of the reversibility of its consequences. Furthermore, the characteristics of the risk situation itself influence how risks are perceived, for example the extent of personal control over the risk, the individual willingness to take the risk or the confidence in the political risk management to control or mitigate negative outcomes. Therefore, the processes of risk perception and
the formation of risk attitudes are seen as heterogeneous and context-dependent.

description: The rapid urbanisation and smartization of the world brings challenges of designing urban futures that contribute to a sustainable and inclusive city environment. Additional complexity arises from space and infrastructure constraints, the diverse user range and involvement of multiple stakeholders in the design process. While these technologies -- once created -- would shape the future of cities and human- and non-human-citizens in the long run, we identify a lack of experience and knowledge exchange in the respective community regarding the addressing of smart city challenges from more than purely technical or topic-specific perspectives. With this workshop, we aim to gather researchers and practitioners from the fields of Urban Informatics, Smart Urbanism, and Human-Computer Interaction to openly share experiences and to outline the design challenges that should be addressed first, with the values of sustainability and inclusion as objectives for smart urban futures.

description: Video meetings have become ubiquitous in our lives. While they provide multiple advantages such as saving travel time and costs, they can also bring negative effects. For instance, the self-view, a prominent design feature in video meeting systems, seems to induce cognitive load but also helps users to get control of the image they send to others. To overcome the downsides of the self-view, we propose an adaptive design of the self-view based on gaze data.

description: The perception of increasing risks and the growing contingency of biomedical decisions in modern societies demands for structural mechanisms in political systems that are able to absorb uncertainties. From the perspective of stem cell governance, it is thus important that political decision-makers identify responsive structures for potential paths of technology development in society as early as possible, in order to prevent later frictions and to promote a climate of acceptance by means of preventive strategies. Within our project MuRiStem-Pol, which is currently work in progress, we conduct an in-depth analysis of empirical risk communications on stem cell research and its applications in German society using methods of qualitative social research and evaluate them with a view to recommendations for political decision-making. To analyse the discursively contested futures of stem cell research we apply an innovative approach in the social study of technology (“vision assessment”). The assumptions of the study are: first that in the public discourses on stem cell research a shift from an ethical frame to dispositifs of risk has occurred, and second that positive as well as negative visions conveyed in these future-oriented discourses have an important influence on the way decisions are shaped in the present.

description: In this paper, we investigate how EEG data can be used to predict individual music preferences. Our study relies on machine learning and specially developed models such as EEGNet to analyze participants' brain activity while listening to music. Participants listened to music excerpts, rated them, and their EEG data were recorded. We extracted relevant features from the EEG data and used convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to classify music preferences. Our results show that our models are able to predict music preferences with an accuracy of up to 69%. This confirms the potential of EEG in personalized music recommendation and demonstrates the feasibility of integrating EEG into wearable devices to improve the user experience.

description: The demand for care and support for older adults is rising, compounded by a growing shortage of skilled workers in the care sector. As a result, informal and voluntary support services have become increasingly vital. Digital platforms are seen as promising tools to organize and coordinate these services effectively. The project 'Implementation and Engagement-Promoting Potentials of a Digital Solution for Assistance Matching for older adults' (IPot) aims to scientifically monitor the implementation of a digital solution in a municipally-supported neighborhood assistance program in southern Germany. This study investigates the factors for successful implementation, the role of participatory methods, and the platform's impact on engagement. Utilizing the Design Case Studies approach, which emphasizes socio-technical integration and user participation, the IPot project evaluates the implementation of the Hilver platform in "Kümmerei Gut leben", a neighborhood program of the municipality Sulzberg / Bavaria. The project adopts a focused ethnographic research design to provide detailed insights into the process. Findings suggest that effective implementation requires continuous adaptation and development of the technology, tailored to local needs through participatory elements. The creation of a Community of Practice within the program has fostered a collaborative learning environment, highlighting the necessity of involving users not just in development but also in the implementation phases to ensure sustainable integration and acceptance of new technologies.

description: Objective: For patients at risk for out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) after Emergency Medical Services (EMS) arrival, outcomes may be mitigated by identifying impending arrests and intervening before they occur. Tools such as the Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) have been developed to determine the risk of arrest, but involve relatively complicated algorithms that can be impractical to compute in the prehospital environment. A simple count of abnormal vital signs, the "EMS Modified Early Warning Score" (EMEWS), may represent a more practical alternative. We sought to compare to the ability of MEWS and EMEWS to identify patients at risk for EMS-witnessed OHCA. Methods: We conducted a retrospect analysis of the 2018 ESO Data Collaborative database of EMS encounters. Patients without cardiac arrest before EMS arrival were categorized into those who did or did not have an EMS-witnessed arrest. MEWS was evaluated without its temperature component (MEWS-T). The performance of MEWS-T and EMEWS in predicting EMS witnessed arrest was evaluated by comparing receiver-operating characteristic curves. Results: Of 369,064 included encounters, 4,651 were EMS witnessed arrests. MEWS-T demonstrated an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.79 (95% CI: 0.79 − 0.80), with 86.8% sensitivity and 51.0% specificity for MEWS-T ≥ 3. EMEWS demonstrated an AUC of 0.74 (95% CI: 0.73 − 0.75), with 81.3% sensitivity and 53.9% specificity for EMEWS ≥ 2. Conclusions: EMEWS showed a similar ability to predict EMS-witnessed cardiac arrest compared to MEWS-T, despite being significantly simpler to compute. Further study is needed to evaluate whether the implementation of EMEWS can aid EMS clinicians in anticipating and preventing OHCA.

description: Objectives: Environmental cleanliness of emergency ambulances may be associated with increased risk of healthcare acquired infection (HAI). Surface cleanliness, measured using adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing, has been demonstrated to correlate with potentially harmful levels of microbial pathogens. In most ambulance services, environmental cleanliness of ambulances and the equipment within them is the responsibility of paramedics. In 2016 NSW Ambulance introduced the Make Ready Model (MRM), in which ambulances are systematically cleaned by non-clinical support staff at the end of each shift. This prospective study aimed to 1) provide a baseline level of ambulance cleanliness; and 2) compare the MRM to a standard cleaning model (SCM). Methods: A prospective comparative study was conducted comparing cleanliness of ambulances in the SCM to those in the MRM. Adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) bioluminescence testing was performed in a pseudo-randomised sample of ambulances. Six ‘high touch’ areas within each ambulance were systematically sampled. Testing occurred without warning to operational staff. The primary outcome was ‘overall bioburden’ (OB)’ measured in radiant light units (‘RLU’). Non-parametric tests were used to assess differences in RLU values between each of the test points, while Poisson multivariate regression was used to compare median overall bioburden between the two groups, adjusting for the confounder variable of 14-day ambulance workload. Results: Sixty-eight ambulances were sampled, 32 from the SCM and 36 from the MRM. Median surface bioburden was significantly lower in the MRM for four of the six test points (preparation table, mobile data terminal, stretcher handles and steering wheel). For the primary outcome of overall bioburden, the unadjusted MRM OB was 35% lower than for the SCM group (RR 0.65 (0.64–0.66; p Conclusion: The innovative MRM cleaning system was associated with significantly improved cleanliness in frontline emergency ambulances. The magnitude of improvement in cleanliness suggests this cleaning model has the potential to make a major contribution to infection control strategies in paramedicine. Future research should focus on cost effectiveness of the MRM and its applicability to regional and remote ambulance service operations.

description: The risk-benefit relevance in total
joint replacement is multidimensional.
Beside the individual and
patient orientated focus, the topic
touches also on aspects of research
and development, health infrastructure
and economy. The framework
for legislators differs from country
to country. Longitudinal clinical
trials show that most implants
approved are qualified as safe in the
mid- and long-term. The patient’s
risk in total joint replacement is
complex and multi-causal. During
the last decade, economy-driven
interests significantly influenced
local departmental structures.
Based on economic burden, the
interactions of orthopedic departments
and corresponding medicalcare
institutions has led to an
industry-like division of labor and
its vulnerable interfaces. To calculate
the effects of this development to
the individual patient, risk should be an aim for further investigations.
Obligatory target criterions are hard
to define, with regard to failure or
not of a total joint replacement.
However, to date there is a tendency
that success of total joint replacement
is not only defined by patients’
satisfaction and/or by objective
medical criteria (profession), but
is more evaluated by local hospital
administrations, health insurance
companies, courts, industry, press
releases and others. Beside progress
in biomaterial research, informationbased
and decision focused concepts
may increase patient safety.

description: In research on the intergenerational
transmission of poverty, life paths
are often defined by what individuals
have learned in childhood. Little
research assumes the possibility of
permanent interaction processes,
which preserve experiences, but
also transform them, even in adulthood.
Accordingly, the focus of
poverty research is rarely directed
at intergenerational relations and
interactions. In this article, we refer
to preliminary empirical findings
from a study we are conducting to
argue how important and meaningful
such an intergenerational and
qualitative research perspective can
be. Biographical group discussions
with families, in which parents and
their adult children negotiate their
stories show that poverty is not an
early fixed and impenetrable heritage
as it is discussed by most poverty
researchers. The intergenerational
transmission of poverty is rather a
permanent negotiation by the family
members.

description: Industry 4.0 or the fourth industrial revolution is a paradigm shift in manufacture will influence the way in which products are made, which subsequently, will influence the future industrial designer. Industrial design, which is evolving, is intrinsically linked to manufacturing; however, what is required of industrial design to adapt to these new changes to be brought on by Industry 4.0 is yet unknown. A global questionnaire was formulated using the existing literature on industrial design to establish the present state of industrial design practice globally and to identify areas for improvement, as well as opportunities for growth within the discipline. This approach helped define and communicate the capabilities and value of industrial design for future manufacturing industries.

description: In the modern welfare state, the
structure and the perception of
social risks are changing. New social
risks require new forms of dealing
with them. This paper focuses
on the transition of young people
from school to vocational education, which represents a new social risk:
In modern societies, a sustainable
integration into the labor market
demands an increasing level of qualification
and, especially in Germany,
an officially recognised certificate of
training. Thus, approaches of preventive
social policy are intended to
prepare and to guide this transition
by addressing the needs and the situation
of young people early on and
by cross-linking the contributions of
schools and of youth welfare as well
as labor market institutions: Crosssectoral
collaboration is a key element
of preventive policy.
The paper presents a programme
of early intervention that addresses
all pupils from the age of 13 on in
order to strengthen their vocational
orientation. This type of early intervention
has the potential to prevent
problems but also to identify
pupils who need further help. As a
consequence, the paper argues that
early intervention does not replace
further measures aiming at special
target groups; preventive social
policy should rather connect general
approaches and special support for
those who need it. This support can
be coordinated by “Youth Employment
Agencies” which integrate the
activities of institutions from different
policy fields such as labour
market policy, youth welfare and
school. These agencies are being
established in an increasing number
of regions since 2012 in order to
create one-stop-shops for young
people. The initiation and sustainable
stabilisation of institutional
cooperation in terms of joint action
plans and a coordinated case management
implies a challenge for the
implementation of preventive social
policies.

description: Users generally exhibit complex behavioral patterns and diverse intentions in multiple business scenarios of super applications like Douyin, presenting great challenges to current industrial multi-domain recommenders. To mitigate the discrepancies across diverse domains, researches and industrial practices generally emphasize sophisticated network structures to accomodate diverse data distributions, while neglecting the inherent understanding of user behavioral sequence from the multi-domain perspective. In this paper, we present Adaptive Domain Scaling (ADS) model, which comprehensively enhances the personalization capability in target-aware sequence modeling across multiple domains. Specifically, ADS comprises of two major modules, including personalized sequence representation generation (PSRG) and personalized candidate representation generation (PCRG). The modules contribute to the tailored multi-domain learning by dynamically learning both the user behavioral sequence item representation and the candidate target item representation under different domains, facilitating adaptive user intention understanding. Experiments are performed on both a public dataset and two billion-scaled industrial datasets, and the extensive results verify the high effectiveness and compatibility of ADS. Besides, we conduct online experiments on two influential business scenarios including Douyin Advertisement Platform and Douyin E-commerce Service Platform, both of which show substantial business improvements. Currently, ADS has been fully deployed in many recommendation services at ByteDance, serving billions of users.

description: Background: Most potentially preventable deaths occur in the prehospital setting before reaching a military treatment facility with surgical capabilities. Thus, optimizing the care we deliver in the prehospital combat setting represents a ripe target for reducing mortality. We sought to analyze prehospital data within the Department of Defense Trauma Registry (DODTR). Materials and methods: We requested all encounters with any prehospital activity (e.g., interventions, transportation, vital signs) documented within the DODTR from January 2007 to March 2020 along with all hospital-based data that was available. We excluded from our search casualties that had no prehospital activity documented. Results: There were 28,950 encounters that met inclusion criteria. Of these, 25,897 (89.5%) were adults and 3053 were children (10.5%). There was a steady decline in the number of casualties encountered with the most notable decline occurring in 2014. U.S. military casualties comprised the largest proportion (n = 10,182) of subjects followed by host nation civilians (n = 9637). The median age was 24 years (interquartile range/IQR 21–29). Most were battle injuries (78.6%) and part of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (61.8%) and Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (24.4%). Most sustained injuries from explosives (52.1%) followed by firearms (28.1%), with serious injury to the extremities (24.9%) occurring most frequently. The median injury severity score was 9 (IQR 4–16) with most surviving to discharge (95.0%). A minority had a documented medic or combat lifesaver (27.9%) in their chain of care, nor did they pass through an aid station (3.0%). Air evacuation predominated (77.9%). Conclusions: Within our dataset, the deployed U.S. military medical system provided prehospital medical care to at least 28,950 combat casualties consisting mostly of U.S. military personnel and host nation civilian care. There was a rapid decline in combat casualty volumes since 2014, however, on a per-encounter basis there was no apparent drop in procedural volume.

description: Objective: We sought to identify current Emergency Medical Services (EMS) practitioner comfort levels and communication strategies when caring for the Deaf American Sign Language (ASL) user. Additionally, we created and evaluated the effect of an educational intervention and visual communication tool on EMS practitioner comfort levels and communication. Methods: This was a descriptive study assessing communication barriers at baseline and after the implementation of a novel educational intervention with cross-sectional surveys conducted at three time points (pre-, immediate-post, and three months post-intervention). Descriptive statistics characterized the study sample and we quantified responses from the baseline survey and both post-intervention surveys. Results: There were 148 EMS practitioners who responded to the baseline survey. The majority of participants (74%; 109/148) previously responded to a 9-1-1 call for a Deaf patient and 24% (35/148) reported previous training regarding the Deaf community. The majority felt that important details were lost during communication (83%; 90/109), reported that the Deaf patient appeared frustrated during an encounter (72%; 78/109), and felt that communication limited patient care (67%; 73/109). When interacting with a Deaf person, the most common communication strategies included written text (90%; 98/109), friend/family member (90%; 98/109), lip reading (55%; 60/109), and spoken English (50%; 55/109). Immediately after the training, most participants reported that the educational training expanded their knowledge of Deaf culture (93%; 126/135), communication strategies to use (93%; 125/135), and common pitfalls to avoid (96%; 129/135) when caring for Deaf patients. At 3 months, all participants (100%, 79/79) reported that the educational module was helpful. Some participants (19%, 15/79) also reported using the communication tool with other non-English speaking patients. Conclusions: The majority of EMS practitioners reported difficulty communicating with Deaf ASL users and acknowledged a sense of patient frustration. Nearly all participants felt the educational training was beneficial and clinically relevant; three months later, all participants found it to still be helpful. Additionally, the communication tool may be applicable to other populations that use English as a second language.

description: The institutionalization and individualization
of life courses has led to
the idea that individuals are responsible
for their fate. This view is
linked to meritocratic interpretations
of social inequality, according to
which poverty is to be regarded as a
just reward for lacking (educational)
efforts. Meritocratic discourse and
the individualization of life courses
hide the fact that individuals suffer
a collective fate, too, such as mass
unemployment.
The article focuses on migrants
who come from poor families in
the Global South and have reached
middle and upper class positions
in the Global North. Narrations of
these extremely exceptional biographies
confirm that individual emancipatory
aspirations can be found
even without their institutional precondition,
the national welfare state.
In contrast to Northern individualization
theories the findings also
show some cases in which individual
aspirations represent a collective’s
struggle to escape poverty. In that
case the migrants accepted existential
besides biographical risks in the
attempt to give their entire family
and neighborhood a biographical
perspective.

description: Der Beitrag spiegelt Fragestellungen und Befunde wider, die im Rahmen des DFG-Graduiertenkollegs an der Universität Duisburg-Essen „Risiko und Ostasien“ behandelt wurden. Es wird ausdrücklich auf breite Repräsentativität verzichtet (welche die Politikwissenschaften, Wirtschaftswissenschaften und Soziologie in Bezug auf Japan, China und Korea umfassen müsste).
description: The article elaborates on issues and
findings from research conducted
under the auspices of the postgraduate
research training group Risk and
East Asia at the University of Duisburg-
Essen, funded by the German
Research Foundation 2011–2019. We
cannot reflect the full scope of the
doctoral research that resulted from
this endeavour, which straddled
politics, economics and sociology
of Japan, China and Korea, and we
therefore limit our attention here to
three already completed dissertations
that provide different perspectives
on risk in Chinese developments in
the last few decades.
During the Chinese reforms since
1978, social change gave rise to new
interlocking risks and processes of
reflexive risk handling. The cases
analysed by Ting Huang, Alison
Lamont and Mei Yu represent,
respectively, the rise of rural pension
schemes in two different settings
(northwest China and a rural part of
Beijing), the restoration of normal
life following the 2008 Wenchuan
Earthquake (in Sichuan), as well as
the shifts between formal and informal
development institutions in a
coal-producing county in northwest
China.
