description: Context: Field-based, portable motion-capture systems can be used to help identify individuals at greater risk of lower extremity injury. Microsoft Kinect-based markerless motion-capture systems meet these requirements; however, until recently, these systems were generally not automated, required substantial data postprocessing, and were not commercially available. Objective: To validate the kinematic measures of a commercially available markerless motion-capture system. Design: Descriptive laboratory study. Setting: Laboratory. Patients or Other Participants: A total of 20 healthy, physically active university students (10 males, 10 females; age ¼ 20.50 6 2.78 years, height ¼ 170.36 6 9.82 cm, mass ¼ 68.38 6 10.07 kg, body mass index ¼ 23.50 6 2.40 kg/m2). Intervention(s): Participants completed 5 jump-landing trials. Kinematic data were simultaneously recorded using Kinect-based markerless and stereophotogrammetric motion-capture systems. Main Outcome Measure(s): Sagittal- and frontal-plane trunk, hip-joint, and knee-joint angles were identified at initial ground contact of the jump landing (IC), for the maximum joint angle during the landing phase of the initial landing (MAX), and for the joint-angle displacement from IC to MAX (DSP). Outliers were removed, and data were averaged across trials. We used intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs [2,1]) to assess intersystem reliability and the paired-samples t test to examine mean differences (a < .05). Results: Agreement existed between the systems (ICC range ¼1.52 to 0.96; ICC average ¼ 0.58), with 75.00% (n ¼ 24/ 32) of the measures being validated (P < .05). Agreement was better for sagittal- (ICC average ¼ 0.84) than frontal- (ICC average ¼ 0.35) plane measures. Agreement was best for MAX (ICC average ¼ 0.77) compared with IC (ICC average ¼ 0.56) and DSP (ICC average ¼ 0.41) measures. Pairwise comparisons identified differences for 18.75% (6/32) of the measures. Fewer differences were observed for sagittal- (0.00%; 0/15) than for frontal- (35.29%; 6/17) plane measures. Between-systems differences were equivalent for MAX (18.18%; 2/11), DSP (18.18%; 2/11), and IC (20.00%; 2/10) measures. The markerless system underestimated sagittal-plane measures (86.67%; 13/15) and overestimated frontal-plane measures (76.47%; 13/ 17). No trends were observed for overestimating or underestimating IC, MAX, or DSP measures. Conclusions: Moderate agreement existed between markerless and stereophotogrammetric motion-capture systems. Better agreement existed for larger (eg, sagittal-plane, MAX) than for smaller (eg, frontal-plane, IC) joint angles. The DSP angles had the worst agreement. Markerless motion-capture systems may help clinicians identify individuals at greater risk of lower extremity injury.

description: Timely disclosure and identification of concussion symptoms are essential to proper care. Perceived social norms are a potential driving factor in many health-related decisions. The study purpose was to describe concussion disclosure behaviours and identify the association between perceived social norms and these disclosure behaviours. First-year student-athletes (n = 391) at two NCAA institutions completed a cross-sectional survey about concussion disclosure and disclosure determinants. Log-binomial regression models identified factors associated with concussion disclosure behaviour prevalence for: higher intention to disclose symptoms, disclosed all at time of injury, eventually disclosed all, and never participated with concussion symptoms. More favourable perceived social norms were associated with higher prevalence of intention to disclose (PR = 1.34; 95%CI: 1.18, 1.53) and higher prevalence of never participating in sports with concussion symptoms (PR = 1.50; 95%CI: 1.07, 2.10). Clinicians, coaches, sports administrators, and healthcare practitioners should be mindful of the need to create supportive social environments to improve concussion symptom disclosure.

description: Background: Sport specialization in youth athletes is associated with increased risk for musculoskeletal injury; however, little is known about whether sport specialization is associated with lower extremity movement quality. The purpose of this study was to examine differences in lower extremity movement quality by level of sport specialization in US Service Academy cadets. Hypothesis: Cadets who report an increased level of sport specialization would have a lower level of movement quality than those who are less specialized. Study Design: Cross-sectional analysis from an ongoing prospective cohort study. Level of Evidence: Level 3. Methods: Cadets completed the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) and a baseline questionnaire evaluating level of sport specialization during high school. Data were analyzed using separate 1-way analysis of variance models. Results: Among all participants (n = 1950), 1045 (53.6%) reported low sport specialization, 600 (30.8%) reported moderate sport specialization, and 305 (15.6%) reported high sport specialization at the time of data collection during the first week. Ages ranged from 17 to 23 years. Men (1491) and women (459) reported comparable specialization levels (P = 0.45). There were no statistically significant differences in lower extremity movement quality by level of specialization for all subjects combined (P = 0.15) or when only men were included in the analyses (P = 0.69). However, there were statistically significant differences in movement quality by level of specialization in women (P = 0.02). Moderately specialized women had the best movement quality (mean, 4.63; SD, 2.21) followed by those with high specialization (mean, 4.90; SD, 2.08) and those with low levels of specialization (mean, 5.23; SD, 2.07). Conclusion: Women reporting moderate sport specialization had improved movement quality and significantly better LESS scores compared to those with high/low specialization. Clinical Relevance: Athletes, especially women, should be encouraged to avoid early sport specialization to optimize movement quality, which may affect injury risk.

description: The Professional Master in Education Primary (PMEP) is a two-year blended education programme that prepares students to become primary school teachers. The online asynchronous components of the programme are delivered using the Moodle Learning Management system (LMS). The programme attracts a large number of students per cohort, making it imperative to have robust measures in place to ensure that students who are struggling are identified early and given the support they need. The first module students complete as part of the PMEP programme is Foundations of Education, a large module focusing on the psychology, philosophy, history and sociology of education. The assessment for the module draws on all four strands and requires students to have engaged diligently and consistently from the start of the programme in order to perform well. A significant aspect of the work for the module involves completing weekly tasks and activities in the Moodle learning management system (LMS). Tasks include watching presentations and videos, discussing questions on the forum, answering quiz questions, writing reflections and participating in live webinars. The programme team was interested in monitoring students’ participation in these activities with a view to identifying students who were not engaging to the required level and might require additional supports. We put in place procedures outlining how engagement data should be used and the followup steps that we should take to communicate informally with students regarding their engagement levels. High engagers would receive an e-mail congratulating them on their work and encouraging them to maintain their efforts, while low engagers would receive an e-mail informing them that they were not engaging at the required level, advising them that they needed to play a more active role in their studies and offering support in the event that they were experiencing difficulties. We were aware that Moodle has some built-in tools that makes it possible to see of record of what students were interacting with, which would allow us to compare individual students with the class in general. So we wanted to use that data to identify students who were not engaging as required.

description: Routines play a major role in educational change in schools. But what happens if the routines performed by school staff fail to deal successfully with current challenges? What strategies aid adaptation of the routines in a specific situation? Up to now, there exists no comprehensive concept for understanding why and at what points the adapting of routines in schools in a specific situation takes a favorable or unfavorable direction. To address this gap, we propose extending theories on routines by considering theories on self-regulated and collectively regulated learning. We consider these theories to be a beneficial complement because of their broad theoretical, methodological, and empirical research base. We argue that these theories enhance the understanding of adapting routines to specific challenging situations in schools. We present a newly developed theoretical framework for dealing with specific challenging situations in schools as an interplay between routines and regulation processes. Finally, important research questions regarding the suggested approach are discussed.

description: This paper identifies factors that explain why microfinance institutions are reaching more clients in some countries than in others. To that end, the paper applies a cross-country analysis on a unique dataset covering 115 countries. Results indicate that the microfinance sector is more present in the richer countries of the developing world. It also reaches more clients in countries that receive more international support. Population density plays a positive role, which could in part explain why the sector is still underdeveloped in rural areas. The level of industrialisation and inflation do not seem to influence microfinance outreach, while regional dummies do.

description: Die vorliegende Thesis untersucht den organisationalen Einarbeitungsprozess (Onboarding) der Namics über verschiedene Senioritätsstufen. Durch halbstandardisierte Interviewbefragungen des Mittelmanagements sowie der neuen Mitarbeitenden wurden spezifische Elemente des Onboardings evaluiert. Die Erhebung wurde mit der Beobachtung einer Einführungsveranstaltung erweitert und durch eine Expertengruppe validiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die Namics einen flexiblen Einarbeitungsprozess mit einzelnen, fixen Programmpunkten betreibt. Herausfordernd sind dabei teilweise unklare Verantwortlichkeiten sowie die starke Auslastung der Vorgesetzten. Dies kann sich auf die Rollenklarheit, die Selbstwirksamkeit sowie das Commitment der neuen Mitarbeitenden auswirken. Hinsichtlich einer Optimierung des organisationalen Einarbeitungsprozess wurden Gestaltungsvorschläge ausgearbeitet, wobei der Fokus auf Unterstützung durch den Coach sowie der individualisierten Planung der ersten Wochen lag. Breiter abgestützte Forschung müsste insbesondere hinsichtlich der Einflüsse von Digitalisierung sowie sich stark verändernden Organisationsformen betrieben werden.

description: In diesem Beitrag wird argumentiert, dass gutes schulinternes Qualitätsmanagement seinen Geltungsbereich klärt und sich darin behauptet, und darüber hinaus markiert, wo sein Geltungsanspruch endet: an den Grenzen des Koproduktionsprozesses „Unterricht“. Für diesen sind vor allem die Lehrerinnen und Lehrer, in gegenseitiger Abstimmung und im Team, verantwortlich und kompetent. Leitgedanke ist, dass die Selbstbegrenzung von schulischem Qualitätsmanagement wichtige Voraussetzung für guten Unterricht ist. Zunächst werden die beiden Begriffe „Qualitätsmanagement“ und „Unterricht“ erläutert. Danach wird begründet, weshalb das Qualitätsmanagement die Grenzen zum Koproduktionsprozess „Unterricht“ respektieren soll. Es wird ein fachliches Referenzsystem zu Merkmalen guten Unterrichts skizziert; schliesslich wird begründet, dass Qualitätsmanagement zur Rahmung und Unterstützung von Unterricht notwendig und sinnvoll ist, wobei zwischen dem Setzen von Muss-Standards und Soll-Standards zu unterscheiden ist. Abschliessend werden Thesen zu einem unterrichtsförderlichen Qualitätsmanagement formuliert.

description: There is a lack of physiologically relevant in vitro human kidney models for disease modelling and detecting drug-induced effects given the limited choice of cells and difficulty implementing quasi-physiological culture conditions. We investigated the influence of fluid shear stress on primary human renal proximal tubule epithelial cells (RPTECs) cultured in the micro-physiological Vitrofluid device. This system houses cells seeded on semipermeable membranes and can be connected to a regulable pump that enables controlled, unidirectional flow. After 7 days in culture, RPTECs maintained physiological characteristics such as barrier integrity, protein uptake ability, and expression of specific transporters (e.g., aquaporin-1). Exposure to constant apical side flow did not cause cytotoxicity, cell detachment, or intracellular reactive oxygen species accumulation. However, unidirectional flow profoundly affected cell morphology and led to primary cilia lengthening and alignment in the flow direction. The dynamic conditions also reduced cell proliferation, altered plasma membrane leakiness, increased cytokine secretion, and repressed histone deacetylase 6 and kidney injury molecule 1 expression. Cells under flow also remained susceptible to colistin-induced toxicity. Collectively, the results suggest that dynamic culture conditions in the Vitrofluid system promote a more differentiated phenotype in primary human RPTECs and represent an improved in vitro kidney model.

description: Edge computing combined with Artificial Intelligence allows for a powerful new paradigm called Edge Intelligence, pushing the execution of AI-based applications towards the edge of the network. However, the heterogeneous infrastructure of edge computing poses challenges to performance and privacy of these applications, such as Video Analysis Pipelines (VAPs).VAPs utilize state-of-the-art machine learning models to analyze video streams, but their execution is limited at the edge, due to the insufficient performance characteristics of edge devices. Furthermore, they process data potentially containing personally identifiable information. Collaborative Inference (Co-Inference) poses a novel technique to alleviate both performance and privacy concerns, by distributing the computational workload of inference. Concretely, machine learning models are split at a partition point, resulting in a head and tail model, which are then deployed on different compute nodes. After performing inference with the head model on one device, resulting intermediate features are transmitted to another device, which finishes inference with the tail model. This collaborative approach can accelerate execution of the analysis, and improve data protection aspects, as intermediate features are transmitted and processed instead of raw (video) data. Determining an optimal partition point for Co-Inference is of paramount importance in order to maximize performance and privacy aspects of a VAP. This thesis analyzes the impact different partition points have on the performance and privacy of Co-Inference systems. To evaluate the impact on performance as close to real life scenarios as possible, a prototypical Co-Inference VAP for object detection was implemented on a heterogeneous hardware test environment typical for edge computing. Additionally, an image reconstruction attack was performed on the different partition points, to evaluate the reconstructability of original images from intermediate features and related privacy concerns. The performance benchmarks have shown how the different partition points, nine in total, of the implemented Co-Inference VAP impact throughput, resource utilization, and required bandwidth for the various devices of the testbed. Images exposing personally identifiable information were generated when applying the image reconstruction attack to six partition points. The generated images for the remaining three partition points did not expose such information, therefore protecting the Co-Inference VAP against the applied image reconstruction attack.

Creators: name: Riley, P
Publisher: name: Liverpool John Moores University
Year: 2023

description: This thesis proposes a package of machine learning tools to assist in the classification process of cancers through medical imaging. Enhancing the interpretability of a given machine learning method is a key focus of the work. Firstly, a “patient like me” methodology using the Fisher Information Network is created to show a robust structure of clinical data from a neural network leading to new patient cases being classified in a visual way. Next this thesis studies the partial responses of a neural network to understand how changes in values of important variables affect the contribution towards the final prediction of the classifier. This attempts to reflect clinical thinking, where changes in variables would change the clinical outcome of a decision-making process. Finally, the thesis looks at multimodality data fusion to utilise as much of the abundance of available clinical data as possible. This work looks at the effectiveness of information with an approach that includes a feature selector. The three aspects of work have been assessed with publicly available clinical datasets to allow for clinical meaning to be ascertained. The thesis looks at potential clinical impact throughout and how the application of machine learning can be useful in a clinical setting, rather than only providing a classification output.

description: Learning analytics (LA) is a multidisciplinary field with an overall aim of analysing data to better understand, and so improve, the learning experience for each student. “Learning analytics is about collecting traces that learners leave behind and using those traces to improve learning” Erik Duval (http://www.laceproject.eu/faqs/learning-analytics). This data can include demographic information, previous academic history, assignment and exam performance, interactions with library systems, interactions with student support, attendance data, activity on Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs) and use of ICT (Information Communication Technology) resources. However, analysis of historical data alone will not improve learning; data analysis must also inform and evaluate subsequent changes to the learning journey. This can encompass any of the components that combine to influence a learning journey, including campus facilities and services, educators & support staff, and the student.The following sections look at this data from a number of perspectives, identifying relevant questions and possible areas of research. This is not an exhaustive list of questions, but may serve as a useful resource in brainstorming possible learning analytics initiatives.

description: Background: Participation in sports is associated with many benefits to all aspects of health; however, it also comes with the risk of injury, particularly concussions. Self-disclosure and care seeking following a concussion are especially important because of the lack of outwardly visible signs and/or symptoms. Although recent research has explored factors affecting concussion disclosure, use of isolated methodologies limits the ability to contextualize how disclosure or nondisclosure occurs. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to describe the factors and expectations of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) athletes that may influence concussion disclosure. Methods: This mixed-methods convergent parallel research study included 25 NCAA Division I athletes representing 13 sports, all of whom completed a concussion-education session with pre-/post-test surveys and a semistructured interview. Eligible athletes were at least 18 years old and on an NCAA roster. The surveys focused on previous concussion-related disclosure behaviors, knowledge, attitudes, beliefs, norms, and intentions about disclosing concussion. Interviews focused on the athletes’ experiences related to concussion disclosure. Survey data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and Mann-Whitney U tests. Interviews were analyzed using a Consensual Qualitative Research tradition. Results: Participants had good concussion knowledge (median = 46.0), positive attitudes (median = 38.0), strong beliefs (median = 13.0), and strong intentions to disclose concussion symptoms (median = 7.0). None of the constructs differed by participants’ gender. Although quantitative findings were mostly positive, interview data highlighted factors that may explain why some participants are successful in disclosing concussions and why others may find disclosure difficult. Educational efforts, sport culture, and medical professional presence were the primary facilitators discussed by participants. Stigma, pressure, and a lack of team support were perceived as disclosure barriers. Conclusion: The context in which concussion disclosure occurs or does not occur is vital to the success of educational interventions. Interventions must prioritize stakeholder- and team-based perspectives on concussion to establish a network supportive to disclosure.

description: We report on hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy used to improve postinjury outcomes in eight acutely concussed high school student-athletes (5 males, 3 females, mean age = 16.0 ± 1.2 years). Patients were randomly assigned into one of three intervention groups: (a) HBO2 therapy; (b) hyperbaric therapy with compressed medical-grade air (HBA); or (c) normobaric 100% O2 therapy. All patients completed five 1-hr treatments within the first 10 days following his or her concussion. Main outcome measures included mental status examination, symptom burden, and the number of days from injury until the physician permitted the student-athlete to return to activity. Patients receiving HBO2 treatment experienced the greatest absolute symptom reduction over the five treatment sessions. No meaningful differences were found in mental status examination. All participants returned to activity in a similar timeframe. HBO2 therapy may be an effective option for the acute treatment of postconcussion symptoms, particularly in young athletes presenting with a high symptom burden.

description: Background: Injury incidence for physically active populations with a high volume of physical load can exceed 79%. There is little existing research focused on timing of injury and how that timing differs based on certain risk factors. Purpose/Hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to report both the incidence and timing of lower extremity injuries during cadet basic training. We hypothesized that women, those with a history of injury, and those in underweight and obese body mass index (BMI) categories would sustain lower extremity musculoskeletal injury earlier in the training period than men, those without injury history, and those in the normal-weight BMI category. Study Design: Cohort study; Level of evidence, 2. Methods: Cadets from the class of 2022, arriving in 2018, served as the study population. Baseline information on sex and injury history was collected via questionnaire, and BMI was calculated from height and weight taken during week 1 at the United States Military Academy. Categories were underweight (BMI <20), middleweight (20-29.99), and obese (≥30). Injury surveillance was performed over the first 60 days of training via electronic medical record review and monitoring. Kaplan-Meier survival curves were used to estimate group differences in time to the first musculoskeletal injury. Cox proportional hazard regression was used to estimate hazard ratios (HRs). Results: A total of 595 cadets participated. The cohort was 76.8% male, with 29.9% reporting previous injury history and 93.3% having a BMI between 20 and 30. Overall, 16.3% of cadets (12.3% of male cadets and 29.7% of female cadets) experienced an injury during the follow-up period. Women experienced significantly greater incident injury than did men (P <.001). Separation of survival curves comparing the sexes and injury history occurred at weeks 3 and 4, respectively. Hazards for first musculoskeletal injury were significantly greater for women versus men (HR, 2.63; 95% CI, 1.76-3.94) and for those who reported a history of injury versus no injury history (HR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.18-2.64). No differences were observed between BMI categories. Conclusion: Female cadets and those reporting previous musculoskeletal injury demonstrated a greater hazard of musculoskeletal injury during cadet basic training. This study did not observe an association between BMI and injury.

description: Institutions that are underway with analytics-driven interventions often report that they see a change in many students’ academic behaviours just through the dissemination of automated interventions (eg emails or alerts in the VLE). This can be a very efficient means of communicating with students as it is possible to reach many at the same time without requiring considerable man-hours. This leaves more time that can be dedicated to assisting students in need of more in-depth support. However, while they can be effective as an initial point of contact, automated communications are not a substitute for person-to-person contact.
Numerical modelling of permafrost dynamics under climate change and evolving ground surface conditions: application to an instrumented permafrost mound at Umiujaq, Nunavik (Québec), Canada

description: Numerical simulations were carried out based on a conceptual cryohydrogeological model of a permafrost mound near Umiujaq, Nunavik (Québec), Canada, to assess the impacts of climate warming and changes in surface conditions on permafrost degradation. The 2D model includes groundwater flow, advective-conductive heat transport, phase change and latent heat. Changes in surface conditions which are characteristic of the site were represented empirically in the model by applying spatially- and temporally-variable ground surface temperatures derived from linear regressions between monitored surface and air temperatures. After reaching a transient steady-state condition close to present-day conditions, the simulations were then extended to 2100 under hypothetical climate warming scenarios and using imposed changes in surface conditions consistent with observed on-site evolution. The simulations show that the development of a thermokarst pond and shrubification respectively induce ground warming of up to 0.5°C and 1.5°C, upward migration of the permafrost base by up to 2 and 4 m, and a decrease in the lateral permafrost extent of 1 and 7 m, relative to a reference case without changes in surface conditions. Feedback from permafrost degradation which drives changes in ground surface conditions should be included in future numerical modelling of permafrost dynamics.

description: Sport specialization is becoming increasingly common among youth and adolescent athletes in the United States and many have raised concern about this trend. Although research on sport specialization has grown significantly, numerous pressing questions remain pertaining to short- and long-term effects of specialization on the health and well-being of youth, including the increased risk of overuse injury and burnout. Many current elite athletes did not specialize at an early age. Methodological and study design limitations impact the quality of current literature, and researchers need to prioritize pressing research questions to promote safe and healthy youth sport participation. The American Medical Society for Sports Medicine hosted a Youth Early Sport Specialization Summit in April 2019 with the goal of synthesizing and reviewing current scientific knowledge and developing a research agenda to guide future research in the field based on the identified gaps in knowledge. This statement provides a broad summary of the existing literature, gaps and limitations in current evidence, and identifies key research priorities to help guide researchers conducting research on youth sport specialization. Our goals are to help improve the quality and relevance of research on youth sport specialization and to ultimately assure that opportunities for healthy and safe sport participation continue for all youth.

description: Objective: To determine the association between selected biomechanical variables and risk of patellofemoral pain (PFP) in males and females. Design: Prospective cohort. Setting: US Service Academies. Participants: Four thousand five hundred forty-three cadets (1727 females and 2816 males).Assessment of risk factors: Three-dimensional biomechanics during a jump-landing task, lower-extremity strength, Q-angle, and navicular drop. Main outcome measures: Cadets were monitored for diagnosis of PFP during their enrollment in a service academy. Three-dimensional hip and knee kinematic data were determined at initial contact (IC) and at 50% of the stance phase of the jump-landing task. Logistic regression analyses were performed for each risk factor variable in males and females (P < 0.05). Results: Less than 10 degrees of hip abduction at IC [odds ratio (OR) = 1.86, P = 0.03] and greater than 10 degrees of knee internal rotation at 50% of the stance phase (OR = 1.71, P = 0.02) increased the risk of PFP in females. Greater than 20 degrees of knee flexion at IC (OR = 0.47, P < 0.01) and between 0 and 5 degrees of hip external rotation at 50% of the stance phase (OR = 0.52, P = 0.04) decreased the risk of PFP in males. No other variables were associated with risk of developing PFP (P > 0.05). Conclusions: The results suggest males and females have differing kinematic risk factor profiles for the development of PFP. Clinical relevance: To most effectively reduce the risk of developing PFP, the risk factor variables specific to males (decreased knee flexion and increased hip external rotation) and females (decreased hip abduction and increased knee internal rotation) should be addressed in injury prevention programs.

description: Objectives: This study sought to determine if there were significant trends in lower extremity movement quality, as assessed by the Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores and plane-specific LESS subscales, across in 12 recent cohorts of incoming USMA cadets. Design: prospective cohort study. Setting: United States Military Academy. Participants: 7,591. Main outcome measures: Landing Error Scoring System (LESS) scores, adjusted for sex and ACL injury history. Results: Statistically significant inverse trends were found between total LESS score and year (p < 0.01) and sagittal plane subscale and year (p < 0.01). A statistically significant direct trend was found for the frontal/transverse plane subscale and year (p < 0.01). However, each of these trends had a small associated effect size, and none were considered clinically meaningful. Conclusions: There were no meaningful changes in lower extremity movement quality in incoming US Military Academy cadets between 2005 and 2017.

description: Die BIM Methode befindet sich schweizweit auf dem Vormarsch. Eine aktuell noch von dieser Thematik relativ unberührte Insel stellen die Behörden dar, welche zum momentanen Zeitpunkt den Umgang mit Modellen und den damit einhergehenden Möglichkeiten noch nicht tatsächlich nutzen. Dies soll sich jedoch in Zukunft ändern, sodass die digitalen Gebäudemodelle auch bei den Behörden Anklang finden und somit eine Optimierung der festgefahrenen Prozesse erfolgen kann.
