description: Menstruating individuals experience various physiological and psychological changes throughout their reproductive lives and each menstrual cycle. Although numerous menstrual health tracking apps, exist, there is limited research on the impact of customization options and personalized visualizations of menstrual cycle data and associated symptoms on user experiences. Furthermore, evidence on the long-term effects of these features on menstrual health awareness and literacy is sparse. This demo contribution presents “CyMe” [siː][miː], a menstrual health tracking prototype designed to support the different needs of individuals while focusing on a simple yet effective reporting approach integrating smartphone and smartwatch data. CyMe focuses on customization options for seamless data reporting and personalized visualizations, enabling users to focus on their individual menstrual health challenges. CyMe also aims to enhance the user experience by giving the user agency over the look and feel of the application, allowing them to adjust self-reporting options, colors, and reminders and connect different sensor devices. This approach should support the wide range of needs of menstruating individuals to be seen and allow users to get actionable insights into their menstrual health.

description: Wasserwellen faszinieren Menschen seit den frühen Kulturen. Wir geben einen kurzen Abriss der mathematischen Theorie der Wasserwellen und ihrer Entstehung. Aus mathematischer Sicht sind Wasserwellen sogenannte “traveling waves”, welche auch für die Feststoffverbrennung und die Verbrennungssynthese von Bedeutung sind, auf deren Musterbildung wir kurz eingehen. Schließlich beschreiben wir Erweiterungen der traveling waves auf allgemeinere Konzepte wie pulsating waves und transition waves, die gegenwärtig in unserer Arbeitsgruppe untersucht werden.
description: Water waves have been intriguing humans since the early
civilizations. We briefly discuss the origins of the mathematical theory of water waves and its development in the 19th century, concluding our first section with research on “Stokes conjecture” as an example of recent research on water waves. Water waves are special examples of so-called travelling waves and fronts. In our second example we consider models of smouldering combustion and self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS). In experiments and simulation, the planar combustion front becomes unstable and fingers or screw-like fronts arise. In the regime of high activation energy, we point out a fascinating relation to a model of the freezing of super-cooled water. Similar models appear in the modelling of growing bacteria in a petri dish. In the last section we describe the mathematical framework of travelling waves, beginning with planar waves and extending definitions to pulsating waves and transition waves, and hinting at even more general waves, which are currently one of the research topics in our group.

Somit ist auch ihre voraussagende Berechnung wichtig. Eine fächerübergreifende Zusammenarbeit der Mathematiker*innen mit Ingenieur*innen kann die sogenannte Finite-Elemente-Methode auf den Bereich der Simulation von Eisoberflächen erweitern.
description: Because of their ability to reflect more than half of the incident solar radiation, Earth's ice surfaces play a very important role in climate models. The stress-based version of the finite element method in structure and solid mechanics has been very successful and can be extended by an interdisciplinary collaboration of mathematicians with engineers to the field of simulation of ice surfaces. The specific properties of ice must be taken into account, but the good approximation of the stresses and the forces caused by the stresses improve the numerical simulation of climate models.

description: Natural compounds constitute a rich resource of potential small molecule therapeutics. While experimental access to this resource is limited due to its vast diversity and difficulties in systematic purification, computational assessment of structural similarity with known therapeutic molecules offers a scalable approach. Here, we assessed functional similarity between natural compounds and approved drugs by combining multiple chemical similarity metrics and physicochemical properties using a machine-learning approach. We computed pairwise similarities between 1410 drugs for training classification models and used the drugs shared protein targets as class labels. The best performing models were random forest which gave an average area under the ROC of 0.9, Matthews correlation coefficient of 0.35, and F1 score of 0.33, suggesting that it captured the structure-activity relation well. The models were then used to predict protein targets of circa 11k natural compounds by comparing them with the drugs. This revealed therapeutic potential of several natural compounds, including those with support from previously published sources as well as those hitherto unexplored. We experimentally validated one of the predicted pair's activities, viz., Cox-1 inhibition by 5-methoxysalicylic acid, a molecule commonly found in tea, herbs and spices. In contrast, another natural compound, 4-isopropylbenzoic acid, with the highest similarity score when considering most weighted similarity metric but not picked by our models, did not inhibit Cox-1. Our results demonstrate the utility of a machine-learning approach combining multiple chemical features for uncovering protein binding potential of natural compounds.

description: If a superconductor is cooled down below a certain critical temperature, it loses its electrical resistivity. Based on this property, a superconductor can transfer an electric current without dissipation. Moreover, the second underlying property of superconductivity is the Meissner-Ochsenfeld effect: If a weak external magnetic field is applied to a superconductor below its critical temperature, the magnetic flux is completely expelled from the material. Nowadays, many modern technological applications rely on superconductors including Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI), magnetic confinement fusion technologies and magnetic levitation technologies. Thus, theoretical understanding of this topic is of high academic
interest. From a mathematical point of view, this phenomenon is described by Maxwell’s equations combined with a set of additional assumptions, which make the mathematical analysis very challenging and require deep knowledge in the field of computational electromagnetism. As a result, our research revolves around hyperbolic (quasi-)variational inequalities governed by
the evolutionary Maxwell’s equations. We use regularization techniques as well as finite element methods to present a rigorous analysis and applicable numerical results.

description: While Mixed Reality handheld displays (MR-HHDs) seem promising for collaborative Extended Reality, representing remote HHD users is challenging. Compared to head-mounted displays, a HHD's orientation is more likely to deviate from its user's view. As a first step towards enhanced MR-HHD user representations, we explore how accurately a HHD-ray originating from the device determines the position of a virtual object while a user is looking at it. Furthermore, the front camera's accessibility is evaluated through face detection. For this, we consider 11 object positions in 8 settings using a smartphone / tablet in landscape / portrait mode while standing / sitting. Our results show that the HHD-ray's accuracy was affected by device orientation, viewing direction, and distance. Furthermore, face detection combined with a visual warning performed very well. Considering these insights, we suggest replacing HHD-rays with adaptive spotlights and encourage using the front camera when designing future collaboration support features.

description: Background—People who use illicit drugs (PWUD) experience significant barriers to healthcare. However, little is known about levels of attachment to primary care (defined as having a regular family doctor or clinic they feel comfortable with) and its association with unmet healthcare needs in this population. In a Canadian setting that features novel publiclyfunded interdisciplinary primary care clinics, we sought to examine the prevalence and correlates (including attachment to primary care) of unmet healthcare needs among PWUD. Methods—Data were derived from two prospective cohort studies of PWUD in Vancouver, Canada between December 2017 and November 2018. Multivariable logistic regression was used to identify factors associated with self-reported unmet healthcare needs among participants reporting any health issues. Results—In total, 743 (83.6%) of 889 eligible participants reported attachment to primary care and 220 (24.7%) reported an unmet healthcare need. In multivariable analyses, attachment to primary care at an integrated care clinic (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 0.14; 95% Confidence Interval [CI]: 0.06–0.34) was negatively associated with an unmet healthcare need, while being treated poorly at a healthcare facility (AOR = 5.50; 95% CI: 3.59–8.60) and self-reported chronic pain (AOR = 2.00, 95% CI: 1.30–3.01) were positively associated with an unmet healthcare need. Conclusion—Despite the high level of attachment to primary care, a quarter of our sample reported an unmet healthcare need. Our findings suggest that multi-level interventions are required to address the unmet need, including pain management and integrated care, to support PWUD with complex health needs.

description: In this paper we describe a homotopy torsion theory in the category of small symmetric monoidal categories. Thanks to the use of natural isomorphisms as basis for the nullhomotopy structure, this homotopy torsion theory enjoys some interesting 2-dimensional properties which may be the starting point for a definition of "2-dimensional torsion theory". As torsion objects we take symmetric 2-groups, thus generalising a known pointed torsion theory in the category of commutative monoids where abelian groups play the part of torsion objects. In the last part of the paper we carry out an analogous generalisation for the classical torsion theory in the category of abelian groups given by torsion and torsion-free groups.

description: Das wachsende Interesse an Komplementärer und Alternativer Medizin (CAM) stellt zunehmende Herausforderungen für medizinisches Fachpersonal dar, bedingt durch die Fülle digital verfügbarer Gesundheitsinformationen. Um den professionellen Umgang mit CAM in der Patientenberatung zu verbessern, entwickeln wir im Projekt „Querschnitt 12 – Kompetenz Interfakultär! (Q12!)“ einen innovativen Blended-Learning-Kurs für Studierende medizinischer und angrenzender Fachbereiche. Der Kurs basiert auf der partizipativen Erstellung von vier Studierenden-Personas, die aus Zielgruppendaten und durch partizipative Workshops generiert wurden. Diese Personas ermöglichen eine präzise Anpassung der Kursinhalte und Lehrmethoden an die spezifischen Bedürfnisse der Studierenden. Diese Methodik spiegelt nicht nur die Diversität der Studierenden wider, sondern fördert auch die Entwicklung von Lehrinhalten, die auf echten Bedürfnissen basieren. Der Einsatz von partizipativ entwickelten Personas in der Kursgestaltung bietet einen vielversprechenden Weg zur Anpassung und Verbesserung der medizinischen Ausbildung in Bezug auf CAM.

description: Health empowerment is referred to as the ability to make decisions about one's own health through self-awareness, goal-setting, continual monitoring and feedback. Health information technologies, which play a crucial role in helping people overcome barriers to healthcare, such as accessing health information, setting goals, and managing. While considering health technologies, conversational agents emerge as an ideal solution for addressing diverse aspects of health-related improvements, healthcare provision, ensuring 24/7 accessibility and convenience, and serving as a knowledge source for specific health needs. In this paper, the concept of digital transformation drives our mapping of the human health empowerment elements into a format that can be analyzed and acted upon using the functionalities of a dedicated conversational agent, i.e., a chatbot. We provide a mapping of health empowerment elements that results in a combined set of measurable factors of health empowerment as an outcome. This mapping is going to allow the future implementation of health conversational agents for patient health empowerment. We performed a detailed literature review of the last five years of publications that are available on multiple databases (Embase, PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science) with selected sets of research keywords. The reviewed publications were related to personal health empowerment concepts, definitions and theories and their relation with digital intervention technologies such as health conversational agents or chatbot functionalities. The result of the identified set of health empowerment elements that can be broadly classified under the categories of understanding, deciding, and acting has been analyzed. Further analysis allowed us to translate the underlying details of these three elements into conversational agent functionalities such as health knowledge, education and support, encouragement, personalized recommendations for decision-making, and health goal management and monitoring. In the future, contributions should consider the opinions of all stakeholders, including healthcare experts and individuals with health needs, involved in co-creative and participatory processes. Additionally, criteria for assessing health empowerment should be directly connected to improved health outcomes.

description: Deliberations on risk raise a multitude of questions in all areas of philosophical inquiry. Within the philosophy of language, interesting questions arise concerning the definition of risk. Those questions, in turn, are closely related to argumentation theory. The assessment of risk specific arguments, in particular,
is pertinent to this area. There are important metaphysical issues regarding the nature and the existence of risks. Debates surrounding the objectivity and/or subjectivity of risks, as well as those regarding their human or non-human origins fall into the same category. Epistemology is concerned with the status of our
knowledge about risks. Questions about the scope and methodologyof our scientific investigations of risk are examined in the philosophy of science. Which risks are morally acceptable is a question that moral philosophy aims to answer. Technical devices to cope with risks are considered in the philosophy of technology.
The political dimensions of decisions under risk are part and parcel of political philosophy. In this article, the innovative potential of thinking about risk for the various areas of philosophy is substantiated.

description: Seit der Mitte des 12. Jahrhunderts kommt zunächst in den italienischen Seehandelsmetropolen und spater im gesamten okzidentalen Mittelmeerraum das neue Wort „Risiko” auf. Es indiziert eine Hinwendung zur Unsicherheit, die zunachst als ein zurechenbares und dann zunehmend auch als ein berechenbares Wagnis verstanden wird.
description: In the records of Mediterranean maritime trade since the middle of the 12th century appears the notion of risk, or to be precise: its medieval ancestor the neolatin word risicum or resicum. The new word, which spread throughout the Mediterranean and beyond ever since that time, indicates the formation of a new disposition in man’s dealings with contingency, a new orientation towards uncertainty. Since the middle of the 12th century merchants that were engaged in long distance sea trade in the Mediterranean began to distinguish between risk and danger, attributing damage and its financial consequences either to themselves and their decisions or to the natural, social or metaphysical environment of their business ventures. The differentiation between the sedentary merchant who acted as an investor and the travelling merchant in the commenda partnership had introduced a new element of contingency in maritime trade. For the sedentary merchant his travelling partners’ business decisions were as unforeseeable as future trends of prices and the safe arrival of a ship exposed to the dangers of the sea. This prompted new and complex questions of liability in case of an eventual failure of the joint business venture. With the emergence of maritime insurance since the middle of the 14th century merchants began to specify the risks they assumed more and more precisely: with respect to their spatial and temporal dimensions and – of course – their price. Insurance rates indicate how risks were calculated by those who were engaged in maritime trade and what kind of risks they perceived to be most likely to materialize. Future events thus became a commodity. Nevertheless, distinguishing between risk and danger and treating future events as commodities was not perceived as contradicting the idea of future events being the result of God’s unfathomable will, neither by the merchants themselves nor by the majority of medieval canonist and moral theologians.

description: Although the academic discourse on gamification repeatedly emphasizes the need to explore design elements beyond points, badges, and leaderboards, much of the research in recent years has continued to focus on popular gamification design elements. As an important contribution to expanding the research field, we consider the investigation of less visible or “hidden” game mechanics to be particularly relevant. In particular, we are interested in making the unknown or “magic source” - often invisible to (ordinary) players - more understandable to gamification designers and researchers. In this paper, we define Hidden Game Mechanics (HGMs), distinguish them from related concepts such as “Advanced Game Mechanics”, and situate them within existing gamification and game design terminology. Based on this, we propose a first iteration of a framework for understanding HGMs. This aims to improve the understanding of the effects and uses of HGMs. In addition, we present further steps for research and potential applications of HGMs in gamification design. Our work demonstrates the diverse potential of HGMs and highlights the significant research gap in this area.

description: This position paper proposes a novel graph-based model of consciousness with significant implications for Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and its implementation as a new kind of AI system: \emph{Semiotic models.} Drawing inspiration from European phenomenology, Peircean semiotics, and Searlean philosophy of mind, we posit that subjective experience emerges primarily from a system's unique perspective, forming the foundation for a hierarchical graph structure that represents conscious concepts. Semiotic models not only address the symbol grounding problem in AI but also open new avenues for designing more intuitive and responsive human-AI interfaces. We present a computational implementation of semiotic models, draft options for evaluating their performance in HCI-relevant tasks, and discuss their potential for user-centered AI design.

description: Fragestellungen im Rahmen des Klimawandels sind gekennzeichnet durch eine Vielzahl von Unsicherheiten. Insbesondere beinhaltet die Quantifizierung von Klimarisiken im Rahmen probabilistischer Aussagen hohe Unsicherheiten hinsichtlich der Wahrscheinlichkeiten zukünftiger Entwicklungen (Szenarien). Wir stellen Methoden der Entscheidungstheorie unter verschiedenen Stufen von Unsicherheit vor und skizzieren mögliche Anwendungen im Kontext der Klimapolitik.
description: Climate Change features a variety of uncertainties. Besides the physical implications, e.g. increased frequency and severity of storms, floods, draughts and extreme weather events, there are many economically relevant uncertainties in terms of political, social and
regulatory reactions. In particular, the quantification of climate risk in a probabilistic framework carries high uncertainties for probabilities of future developments (scenarios). As a consequence, quantitative approaches are highly controversial in the academic and in particular in the public discussion. So far a systematic approach to the various degrees of uncertainty (ambiguity) is missing.
In this article, we we use a decision-theoretic approach motivated from the asset pricing literature to provide a systematic classification of the various effects of uncertainty and apply it to questions arising in the context of climate policy. In particular, we find that it is necessary to use a separation of risk and time preferences (in the spirit of the approach of Epstein-Zin, 1989) as well as an
explicit inclusion of the aversion towards ambiguity. We illustrate our approach by discussing the social discount factor and a two-period (generation) stock pollutant model.

description: Materials are multifunctional resources that can serve as data, method, process, and outcomes of HCI projects. In this full-day in-person workshop, we invite participants to reflect on materials and tangible artefacts, how we use them in our practice, what they mean to us, what we dream of. Our goal is to support aesthetic expression and material sensitivity, and cement the importance of tangibility in our field. Together, we will co-create a Zine that will be published physically during the conference, and made available digitally after.
Il western americano nella critica

description: Il western, nelle sue varie forme (letteratura, cinema, pittura, fumetti, serie televisive, ecc.), ha avuto dagli inizi del Novecento agli anni Settanta una fortuna straordinaria. Tuttavia la critica, in particolare quella letteraria, ha esitato a considerare il western come un oggetto degno di analisi. Questo saggio passa in rassegna le opere critiche principali sull’argomento e indica alcuni percorsi per future ricerche.

description: Das Papier zeigt, wie die Unsicherheit seit der großen Rezession viel Einfluss auf die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung gewonnen hat. Auf der einen Seite gab es eine intellektuelle Rückbesinnung auf die Theorien von John Maynard Keynes und Hyman Minsky. Andererseits sind neue Forschungsstränge entstanden um mit der Ungewissheit umzugehen, wie die Agent Based Models (ABM).
description: The paper shows how uncertainty gained much influence in economic sciences since the Great Recession. On the one hand, there was an intellectual come-back of the theories of John Maynard Keynes and Hyman Minsky. On the other hand, new strands of research have emerged to deal with uncertainty. Among the most prominent are Agent Based Models (ABM). In this line of research, heterogeneous behavior of market agents creates complexity and with that uncertainty. People form their expectations about future economic events according to differing methods. They range from very complex forecasting processes to simple rules of thumb. The interaction between both mechanisms, present at the same time, creates
complex models that tend to show instabilities. In other words, with these models the occurrence of crises can be explained. Another new line of research reflects forecasting methods.
Many new ways to make forecasts have been explored. Variable selection follows the objective to improve forecasts rather than fulfilling restrictions from theory.

Food for Thought: The Relationship between Dietary Patterns, Cardio-metabolic Risk and Cognitive Performance in Middle Age and Older Adults
Creators: name: Gauci, Sarah
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: This thesis aimed to explore the relationship between diet, cardio-metabolic health and cognition in healthy middle-aged adults and older adults at risk of cognitive decline. This thesis provides empirical evidence that in middle age, adherence to the MIND (MedDiet–DASHIntervention for Neurodegenerative Delay) diet was associated with better cognitive performance. However, in older adults, only the interaction between diet and cardio-metabolic health was related to cognitive outcomes. Overall, the findings have implications for future research and intervention studies, suggesting that diet may be a modifiable risk factor to reduce cognitive decline.

description: Delivery tasks and environmental exploration commonly utilize multi-robot systems. However, programming robots still requires a high level of expertise and knowledge. Therefore, the application of Augmented Reality (AR) has shown promise in aiding robot programming, enabling the user to operate within the robot's space and view robot data and information. Most approaches focus on programming single-robot manipulators or mobile robots. To also offer the programming of multiple collaboratively working robots, we propose EURAPS*, an extension of the existing EURAPS framework. As a feature, we integrate a collision warning to assist the programmer in collision-free multi-robot programming. We conducted a user study to evaluate our system's effectiveness in detecting collisions among mobile robots. The results show that the collision warning assists the user in avoiding robot collisions. Further research is needed to focus on more reliable robot tracking for precise recognition and collision warning with other obstacles.

description: Den Anstoß für die jüngere philosophische Auseinandersetzung mit Risiko gab die Entwicklung neuer Technologien in der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Insbesondere in letzter Zeit sind neue Risiken wie der anthropogene Klimawandel oder Finanzkrisen in das Zentrum des Forschungsinteresses gerückt. Der Artikel argumentiert, dass letztere wesentlich sozialer Natur sind und sich daher in entscheidenden Hinsichten von technologischen Risiken unterscheiden.
description: In the wake of new technological developments, philosophers have been increasingly interested in issues surrounding risk over recent decades. The general philosophical perspective on risk has, thus, been shaped by the problems of the technological domain. While this perspective has advanced risk research significantly, it has also led to an overstretching attribution of a technical understanding of risk to such risks that are different in kind. Among these other risks we focus in our article on social risks and argue that framing a risk one way or the other has major repercussions for the choice between different risk prevention strategies. In the first section of this article, we provide a general account of risk and of the distinct nature of technical and social risks. After introducing this conceptual distinction, we put forward an argument establishing the claim that each type of risk is linked internally to specific forms of risk prevention, which differ considerably from each other. Throughout, we illustrate the rationale with the example of anthropogenic climate change and hold that it should indeed be understood as being primarily a social risk. In the last section, we delineate avenues of future research that come into perspective when using the concept of social risk.
