description: This thesis explores what constitutes a high-quality single expert report in family law proceedings (also known as child custody evaluations) using a mixed method approach. The findings are useful not only for research purposes, but also to guide and improve the quality and consistency of reports submitted to Courts, thereby helping psychologists to reduce complaints, lawyers to reach settlements, and judges to assist decision-making, all of which contribute to achieving the best interest of the child.In complex family law proceedings, Expert Psychologists (EPs) are frequently asked to prepare Child Custody Evaluations (CCEs). Recommendations made often lead to settlement or shape judicial decisions. Across four studies, this thesis explores what constitutes a high-quality CCE and how they can be improved. Study One surveyed psychologists, lawyers, and judges (N = 65) about the importance and quality of various components of CCEs. Inter-professional congruence on importance ratings allowed ‘key components’ to be derived. Discrepancies between importance and quality highlighted components that need improvement. By interviewing psychologists, lawyers, and judges (N=11), Study Two identified four major themes that relate to quality of CCEs. The first three themes explain what components make for a high-quality report: (1) Thoroughness, (2) Transparency and (3) a Pathway Forward. The fourth theme suggested that if these three components were done to a high standard, the overall CCE could be given more weight, and would be of greater (4) Assistance to the Court. To assess the quality of actual CCEs submitted to the Court (N=21), Study Three developed an empirically derived Quality Measure (QM) and found variable quality of reports. Comparisons of these findings to the previous survey data raised concern about the accuracy of psychologists’ self-report. Lastly, Study Four refined the measure of quality to develop the 31 item QM-CCE and found promising psychometric properties, suggesting it may be a useful instrument not only for vi research purposes, but also for evaluators to improve the quality of their work and for legal professionals to decide the weight accorded to the CCE. Together, these four studies provide an understanding not only about what constitutes a high-quality CCE but how to improve quality control to better serve the needs of the Court and the families they serve.

description: The aim of the study is to investigate effects of light on attention during the day. In particular, changes in spectral composition and prolonged exposure durations are analyzed. The study design was developed to explicitly refer to working days of fulltime daytime workers and therefore increase the transferability to real-life work situations. A combination of subjective scales and psychomotoric tasks is used to address different types of cognitive processes and get a holistic picture of the attentional state. In general, this study contributes to a more precise description of alerting effects of light that may lead to lighting designs that actively support employees at their workplace in the future.

description: To validate the spectral radiosity simulation program LUMOS, the software is tested against a set of test scenarios, described in the Technical Report 171 of the International Commission on Illumination. Although not all test scenarios are applicable to the LUMOS software, the overall simulation results correspond well to the experimental and analytical reference data, displaying an error of less than 6% for all but one reference scenarios. This confirms that LUMOS is a suitable tool with the capacity to deliver accurate photometric results.

description: Environmentally friendly lighting and traffic safety are two aspects of outdoor lighting that at first glance seem to contradict each other. The project `Species Protection through Environmentally Friendly Lighting` can take a closer look at the fact that this does not have to be the case. Through the participation of researchers from the IGB and the TU Berlin, interdisciplinary knowledge from the fields of biology, agriculture, ecology and lighting technology can flow together, so that in the end a scientifically supported decision-making aid for outdoor lighting is available. Therefore, the attraction of light to insects from luminous intensity distributions of ordinary luminaires, like the ones of the four project regions will be compared to the highly restricted luminous intensity distribution of the new developed luminaires. The physical limits of insect friendly luminaires will be examined and analyzed with LightTools.

description: In previous work, the suitability of LEDs as a radiation source for the gonioreflectometer was investigated. An LED-Sphere Radiator (LED-SR) was constructed and its essential properties were described [1]. Based on these investigations, the further development of the LED-SR is presented here. Significant improvements such as a specially developed high-power LED board and active temperature control have been made. Due to the great influence of the reflecting insert on the radiation characteristics of the sphere, its optical and mechanical properties have also been optimized. Investigations with respect to these modifications and their effects are explained. The achieved improvements and the performance of the LED-SR are evaluated in comparison to measurements with the typically used halogen sphere radiator (Halogen-SR). It can be shown that with the new radiator more accurate results can be obtained in the observed spectral range in a shorter measurement time.

description: Die Bevölkerung auf unserem Planeten wächst stetig, während die zur Verfügung stehenden Anbauflächen immer kleiner werden. Um den Anbau von Nutzpflanzen auf unseren schrumpfenden Anbauflächen zu optimieren, muss der Einfluss von Umgebungsparametern auf das Pflanzenwachstum untersucht werden, damit die Umgebung zugunsten einer ressourcenschonenden Pflanzenaufzucht angepasst werden kann. Ein häufig verwendeter objektiver Parameter für das Wachstum ist das Gewicht. Dieses ist bei Pflanzen in der Kultur bisher jedoch nur sehr aufwendig zu bestimmen, sodass die Bildung von Modellen zur kontaktlosen Erfassung dieses Parameters notwendig ist. Daher werden Zusammenhänge von verschiedenen Parametern, die das Pflanzenwachstum beschreiben können, untersucht. Hierbei wird das Gewicht der Pflanze als Referenz für das generelle Pflanzenwachstum verwendet sowie nicht destruktive, spektrale Messverfahren zur sekundären Ermittlung des Gewichtes durchgeführt und mit dem Pflanzengewicht verglichen. Mithilfe einer Kamera werden Pflanzenbilder aufgezeichnet und die Anzahl der zur Pflanze gehörigen Bildpunkte genutzt, um die sichtbare Blattfläche zu bestimmen. Außerdem werden Vegetationsindizes anhand von Messungen mit einem Spektrometer und einem Spektralsensor berechnet und auf Zusammenhänge mit dem Gewicht untersucht. Anhand dieser Zusammenhänge werden Modelle gebildet, mit denen es bedingt möglich ist, das Gewicht mittels nicht destruktiver spektraler Messungen zu bestimmen.

description: The usual approach to tropical geometry is via degeneration of amoebas of algebraic subvarieties of an algebraic torus $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$. An amoeba is logarithmic projection of the variety forgetting the angular part of coordinates, called the phase. Similar degeneration can be performed without ignoring the phase. The limit then is called phase tropical variety, and it is a powerful tool in numerous areas. In the article is described a non-commutative version of phase tropicalization in the simplest case of the matrix group $PSL_2(\mathbb{C})$, replacing here $(\mathbb{C}^*)^n$ in the classical approach.

description: High-resolution headlamps enable the generation of lane and symbol projections, offering additional information to the driver and other participants in traffic. While allowing the possibility of highlighting single pixels on the one hand, the light pattern without projections should give a smooth impression of the luminance distribution and should not show striking intensity differences between adjacent pixels. Which intensity differences lead to visible gaps in the light pattern is dependent on a set of numerous parameters. A model for predicting the visibility of such intensity gaps for human observers is proposed here, a task which is directly linked to contrast detection. Hence the deployed model implements sequentially applied sub models based on the contrast sensitivity function (CSF). In order to evaluate the model, it is tested with luminance distributions of a simulated pixelated light source as well as with a more complex scenario. First evaluations of the model show promising results. For each tested scenario the model behaves as expected. The validity of the model will have to be verified by a study in a next step.

title: Chromaticity of white light volume holographic cell arrays for divergent illumination with phosphor converted LEDs in automotive headlights
Creators: name: Hiller, Lukas

Publisher: name: TU Ilmenau

Subjects: subject: 621.3

description: Holographic optical elements (HOEs) offer the possibility to replace conventional optical elements like lenses, reflectors and apertures in illumination lighting systems such as vehicle headlights. In this context reflection-type volume holographic optical elements (vHOEs) represent a promising approach. Although illuminated by incoherent light emitting diodes (LEDs), they provide good beam-shaping quality due to their high wavelength and angular selectivity. However, to achieve high efficiency in operation the vHOE must utilize the full spectrum of the illumination systems light source. Therefore, when using phosphor converted LEDs, vHOEs with multiple recording wavelengths are required. In addition, the generated light distribution must comply with the chromaticity requirements of the ECE regulations for vehicle headlights. Therefore, a major goal in development of vHOEs as optical elements for vehicle lighting is to produce a white light distribution for vehicle headlights while achieving high efficiency. Previous work based on the Lippmann color process [1] attempted to record full-color holograms to produce highly realistic three-dimensional images by using multiple wavelengths in the recording process. Bjelkhagen and Mirlis [2] for example focused on undersampling in the wavelength domain and the resulting false coloration of the recorded objects. Similar problems occur, when a noncontinuous white light LED spectrum is used to illuminate vHOEs, which must produce a white light distribution. In this paper, simulations based on Kogelnik’s coupled-wave-theory (CWT) [3] are presented for selecting appropriate laser wavelengths for hologram recording and white light LED illumination. The holographic recording medium and the recording angles of the reference and object beams are first defined. Then, several commercially available laser wavelengths are chosen to calculate the spectral diffractive efficiency of each laser wavelength. The results are then convolved with the spectral power distribution of white light LEDs and the chromaticity coordinates are calculated accordingly. Various combinations of laser wavelengths and LED spectra are presented as the results. Suitable combinations of recording lasers and LEDs could be found to achieve the color locus required in the ECE regulations.

description: Many of the challenges in CAR-T cell manufacturing arise from labor intensive manual processes which struggle to account for the biological variability of the patient material. Limited automation options are available and currently the low digitization in the manufacturing process leads to little data available on the process and the final product. To improve data availability digitalization of the manufacturing process is a necessity. Digitization also is a typical enabler for automation, so the AIDPATH project demonstrates a new automation option for CAR-T cell manufacturing, focusing on integrated data acquisition (QC) and processing (artificial intelligence). Within AIDPATH several AI use cases are demonstrated to aid and improve the end-to-end manufacturing process.

description: For the development of new lighting functions of modern automotive headlamp systems suitable quality factors are needed to evaluate the driver’s visual performance. The Visibility Level (VL), which compares the contrast of an object with its threshold contrast, has proven to be one of these quality factors. While the perception of small VL values have been extensively investigated, high VL values have not been assessed. Results can help to determine how much light is actually needed to illuminate a situation sufficiently so that vehicles can drive without a loss of safety but at a reduced energy consumption. Here the results of a study in the light tunnel facility of the HELLA GmbH & Co. KGaA in Lippstadt are presented. After the generation of different light distributions, the object luminance is measured and the different VL values of the viewing target are estimated. In the first part of the study a praxis factor for this scenario is determined, which is used for the calculation of the actual VL. The praxis factor equals 10.27. In the second part of the study different light distributions, which create different VL values from 4 to 120, are then shown to and assessed by the study participants. The evaluation shows a saturating assessment of VLs higher than 90. Viewing targets with a VL above this value are all equally described as perfectly visible. A VL above 65 leads to a well visible target. These results are a starting point for upcoming work regarding the generation of new light distribution, such that light will be brought to the streets more adequately.

description: Seit Einführung der asymmetrischen Abblendlichtverteilung im Jahr 1957 hat sich die grundsätzliche Lichtverteilung von Kfz-Scheinwerfern kaum verändert. Da sich das Verkehrsbild und die relevanten Straßenparameter, wie die Straßengeometrie oder das Verkehrsaufkommen, seitdem stark verändert haben, eignen sich diese Lichtverteilungen nur bedingt für den Einsatz im heutigen nächtlichen Straßenverkehr. Aktuelle Zusatzfunktionen, wie Autobahn- und Stadtlicht, können bereits in unterschiedlichen Verkehrsräumen aktiviert werden, jedoch fehlen Informationen bezüglich des Verkehrsraumes, die eine vollkommen dynamische Steuerung dieser Lichtfunktionen ermöglichen könnte. Daher besteht eine Notwendigkeit darin, Kenntnis über die lichttechnischen und geometrischen Bedingungen des Verkehrsraumes zu gewinnen. Aus vorherigen und aktuell laufenden Untersuchungen ist der Schwellenkontrast für die sichere Detektion von Objekten im nächtlichen Straßenverkehr bekannt. Um jederzeit eine optimale Ausleuchtung der Fahrbahn und relevanter Objekte zu gewährleisten, ist eine Kenntnis des aktuellen Beleuchtungsniveaus und der Straßengeometrie essenziell. Diese Arbeit präsentiert erste Ergebnisse, benötigte Daten und Methoden zur Datenauswertung des deutschen Verkehrsraumes, um Lichtverteilungen von Kfz-Scheinwerfern zu optimieren.

Spiritualism

description: In 1948, young sisters Maggie and Katy Fox reported to their family that not only was there a spirit living in their house, but they’d learned how to communicate with it. Friends and neighbors around their house in upstate New York came to bear witness to the spirit’s “rappings,” the girls quickly became celebrity mediums, and the Spiritualist movement took off. Spiritualism coalesced around a belief that the dead live on in a “spirit world” separated from the world of the living by a thin veil. In this spirit world, individual identities and personal connections persist, and the dead can continue to grow and to spiritually mature. The movement’s central practices include seances, trance lectures, mediumship, healings, and other modes of communication with the spirit world. The commercial success of events like public seances and products like Ouija boards have blurred the line between Spiritualism-as-entertainment and Spiritualismas-religion from the tradition’s earliest days. Spiritualists also eschew central organization and have no formal markers of religious affiliation, so no precise figures exist for affiliation. However, scholars estimate that anywhere from 3 to 11 million Americans were participating in Spiritualism at the movement’s peak in the late 19th century. Drawing on previous religious traditions like Mesmerism, Swedenborgianism, and New Thought, Spiritualism followed in the iconoclastic footprints of other new religious movements that came out of the Burned-over District in the 19th century. Early Spiritualists denounced dogmatism and sectarianism of organized religion, and spoke out against the Calvinist notion that humankind is innately sinful. In turn, most Christian churches explicitly disavowed Spiritualism, warning congregants that it was a fraud – or worse, that it was witchcraft. Still, many Spiritualists have historically been practicing Christians, and some churches (especially Quaker, Universalist, and Unitarian churches) have either tacitly or even explicitly welcomed Spiritualism as an outgrowth of Christian practice. Some Spiritualists founded churches of their own, and several associations of Spiritualist Churches exist to this day. The movement also had strong ties to social reform movements, including abolition and women’s suffrage. Spiritualist practice was originally centered in the northern U.S., with another notable pocket of popularity around New Orleans. English-language periodicals, Spiritualist camps, and travelling mediums also connected American practitioners to a transnational network that grew to extend through Great Britain, parts of Canada. The movement was also briefly in vogue throughout continental Europe. Although Spiritualism experienced another surge of popularity in the wake of WWI, it has never regained its 19th century status in the religious and cultural mainstream.

description: Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to investigate the effect of Mulligan Mobilization with movement (MWM) and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization (IASTM) on pain, range of motion (ROM), hand grip strength, and upper limb disability in individuals diagnosed with chronic lateral epicondylitis (CLE).

Design: A randomized controlled study.

Settings: Outpatient clinic of AL-Qenayat Central Hospital between March 25, 2023, and June 30, 2023.

Participants: Sixty patients with chronic lateral epicondylitis were randomized into 3 equal groups.

Intervention: Group A recieved (MWM), Group B recieved (IASTM), and Group C recieved (conventional treatment). The interventions were administered three times weekly for four weeks, in addition to the standard treatment protocol.

Main Outcome Measures: Visual analogue scale (VAS) for measurement of pain intensity, Universal Goniometer for wrist ROM, Digital Hand-Held Dynamometer for hand grip strength, and the Quick DASH questionnaire for hand activities assessment were measured at baseline and following four weeks of intervention.

Results: There were statistically significant differences between the impact of MWM and IASTM post treatment in patients with CLE (P<0.05) in terms of pain intensity, ROM, hand grip strength, as well as hand function. 

Conclusion: The results of the study suggest that MWM may be more beneficial than IASTM in addressing pain, improving ROM, enhancing hand grip strength, and reducing upper limb extremity in individuals with chronic lateral epicondylitis. Further research is warranted to validate and generalize these results.

description: LED-Leuchtmittel, die durch ihre Bauform in die Fassungen von konventionellen Leuchtmitteln eingesetzt werden können und somit den Umstieg auf die moderne Lichtquellentechnologie erleichtern, werden Retrofit-LEDs genannt. Im Haushalt erfolgt dieser erleichterte Umstieg auf LEDs bereits seit einigen Jahren. Solch ein Umstieg wäre durch vorhandene Retrofit LEDs auch im Automobilbereich möglich. Aufgrund des hohen Anteils von Fahrzeugen mit Halogen-Scheinwerfern (ca. 56 %) wäre ein Umstieg auf die effizientere LED-Technologie vor allem von energetischem Vorteil. Mittlerweile gibt es in Deutschland Retrofit-LEDs, die für vereinzelte Fahrzeugmodelle zugelassen sind und mit einer Bauartgenehmigung verwendet werden können. Inwieweit diese zugelassenen Leuchtmittel die konventionellen Halogenglühlampen in den Scheinwerfern ersetzen können, wird in dieser Untersuchung betrachtet. Hierzu werden Lichtstärkeverteilungskurven des gleichen Scheinwerfers mit konventionellen H7-Halogenglühlampen und zugelassenen Retrofit-LEDs aufgenommen und verglichen. Die Auswirkungen der verschiedenen Leuchtmittel auf die Lichtverteilung auf der Fahrbahn wird simulativ über die Berechnung der Fahrbahnbeleuchtungsstärke untersucht.

description: Without polymer additives, polymers do not combine to form materials called plastics. Polymer additives are therefore of key importance when it comes to safe and sustainable plastics and plastic applications. Safety for people and the environment during plastic conversion, the production of plastic products, the use phase and the end-of-life phase is particularly important. Furthermore, besides economic advantages and product properties, the ecological impact should be integrated into the product development as a third optimization parameter by implementing a safe-and-sustainable-by-design approach from the very first molecule design phase. Flame retardants must offer both “passive” safety during production, product lifetime and end-of-life as well as “active” safety during very challenging conditions in the event of a fire. Safe and more sustainable flame retardants are still an important R&D topic. New developments in polymer science and plastic material sciences and their transfer to application lead to new opportunities for polymer additives. Vitrimers offer the potential to create a dynamic, covalent network of different types of molecules that is able to change its topology by thermally activated bond-exchange reactions. Polymer additives that only need to be active in a certain product life-cycle phase, e.g. processing additives during plastic conversion and flame retardants during a fire, can be integrated into the covalent network. The safety for humans and the environment during the product use phase increases due to reduced migration tendencies. Furthermore, the possibility of recovering the additives from the covalent network, subsequent to separation during the end-of-life and the recycling phase, makes this system extremely interesting from the perspective of a safe and sustainable circular plastic economy. The transformation toward a circular plastic economy requires completely new classes of polymer additives. For example, plastic recyclates and plastics containing natural materials often have an unpleasant odor and contain unhealthy, volatile substances. This is not only a problem during production – it also severely limits the application range of the plastics concerned. One possible solution is sandwich structures with an odor barrier layer containing special additives which can significantly reduce the release of odors and unhealthy, volatile substances. In this poster, we report our recent developments in the field of flame retardants and odor retardants.

description: The state-of-the-art image quality assessment methods designed for binary images are not highly correlated with subjective evaluation re-sults, therefore one of the efficient methods to improve their performance is the application of shallow neural networks. In such an approach each ele-mentary metric is used as the input of the network and the network is trained with subjective quality scores used as the goal function. The obtained corre-lation with subjective scores depends not only on the number of elementary metrics and their choice but also on the training algorithm and the network’s structure as presented in the paper.

description: This study investigates the extent of parents' involvement in enhancing the motor skills of learners with autism and examines the relationship between this involvement and the learners' motor skills development. Data collected from various indicators demonstrate that parents are highly involved in their children's motor skills programs. The learners exhibit proficient levels in both gross motor skills and fine motor skills. Statistical analysis reveals a significant, though weak, positive correlation between parental involvement and both gross and fine motor skills. These findings highlight the importance of active parental participation in the development of motor skills in learners with autism and suggest that increased parental engagement is associated with better motor skills outcomes. The study underscores the need for ongoing collaboration between parents and educators to support the motor skills development of learners with autism.

description: We investigated HI absorption toward a single pulsar, PSR J1644$-$4559, and its variability over timescales from days to years, using Murriyang, CSIRO's Parkes Radio Telescope. Our 19 epochs of spectral observations, spanning 1.2 years with intervals as short as 1 day, provide the most comprehensive cadence coverage for monitoring HI absorption to date. We identified two significant detections of tiny-scale atomic structure (TSAS) with spatial scales ranging from a lower limit of $\sim$11 au to an upper limit of 165 au, both exhibiting integrated signal-to-noise ratios exceeding 5.0. We find a relationship between linear size and optical depth variation in the cold neutral medium (CNM) component hosting the TSAS, described by a power-law relationship, $Δτ_{\rm int} = Δτ_0 (ΔL)^{(α-2)/2}$, with $α= 4.1 \pm 0.4$. This is the first observational evidence explicitly connecting TSAS to turbulence in CNM. This power-law index is significantly steeper than previously reported values for the CNM, where $α$ ranges from 2.3 to 2.9, but similar to those observed in the warm ionized gas. Additionally, we observe no significant variation in $α$ across the entire range of spatial scales traced in our study, indicating that turbulence may be cascading down and dissipating at smaller scales. While there is no precise proper motion measurement for this pulsar, our estimates for the turbulence dissipation in the CNM place the lower and upper limits at less than 0.03 au and 0.4 au, respectively.

The holy Anders of Slagelse
Creators: name: Clausen, Svend

description: The holy Anders of Slagelse was a Danish priest from the town of Slagelse. He became venerated as a saint in the area around Slagelse within Roskilde diocese in medieval Denmark after his death. Apparently he died in 1205. He was never officially canonized, but his cult remained popular amongst the people locally for centuries. This is pretty much all which is known about him. All other information preserved on him stems from his saint´s legend and in this case the word legend really seems more appropriate than describing it as a saint´s vita. Not much trustworthy information on his actual life is to be found in the text. Instead it takes on a highly legendary character full of fantastic tales clearly reflecting that this was stories told about him amongst the people orally and that they circulated like this for a very long time until they were finally written down. The preserved late medieval text does not even follow the normal structure of hagiography as there is e.g. no mention of posthumous miracles, nothing said about his childhood or youth and not even any translation description. The preserved text was transmitted to the present day because it was later copied by a chaplain called Jakob Mosle from a church in Slagelse sometime around 1500. Jakob Mosle is not the author of it, though, but instead states openly that he merely copied an older manuscript. How old exactly this older manuscript was is unknown, but it is clearly reflected in the text that it could not have been written until quite a long time after Anders had died. Only one piece of information slightly indicates the age of the written text. Jakob Mosle states the he copied the text from an old piece of paper. The use of paper in Denmark instead of parchment makes it unlikely that writing took place before c. the mid-14th century. Thus it seems that this text about the holy Anders must have been written down sometime after c. 1350, but well before Jakob Mosle copied it around 1500. The fact that these stories about him really did circulate orally already long before his preserved saint´s legend was written down is known for certain, though, as an early version of one of these stories appear already in a book from around 1260 written by the Dominican friar Thomas of Cantimpré (1201-1272). Thomas of Cantimpré had probably heard this story from some anonymous Danish friar of his order, most likely a friar stemming from one of the friaries within Roskilde diocese. This Dominican book must be a story for another time, though, as the present entry will be about the text transmitted by Jakob Mosle exclusively.

description: LED technologies, and in particular industrial LED luminaires, are increasingly entering the industry. Their application in industrial buildings in the food industry is the subject of this study. When reconstructing an industrial building, it is usually envisaged that the lighting will be built with LED luminaires. One of the problems that occur in this situation is the use of electronic starting-regulating devices (LED Drivers), which generate higher harmonics in the power supply network and thus degrade the network parameters. The report presents a long-term study of the harmonic pollution generated by an industrial LED lighting system in an industrial room for the food industry. The study was conducted for a period of 6 months, under different modes of operation of the lighting system and different temperature regimes in the room. The obtained data are summarized and systematized. The report presents the summarized results of the study in tabular and graphical form. It was found that the harmonic pollution resulting from the lighting system significantly exceeds the requirements of the electricity quality standard. Conclusions and some recommendations from the research are formulated.

description: Innerhalb der Bachelorarbeit an der HAWK Hildesheim haben wir ein Open Office Konzept erstellt, welches die Kompetenzfelder Innenarchitektur, Lighting Design und Farbdesign beinhaltet. Für ein internationales Unternehmen wurde exemplarisch eine Etage des neuen Hauptsitzes geplant. Um ein einheitliches Bürokonzept entstehen zu lassen, steht das harmonische Zusammenspiel der drei einzelnen Kompetenzen im Vordergrund. Die baulichen Gegebenheiten erleichtern die Gestaltung ohne raumtrennende Wände, da das Verschmelzen der Bereiche für Sichtbeziehungen und Transparenz im Raum sorgt. Um für die Mitarbeiter/innen eine angenehme Atmosphäre zu schaffen, welche nicht nur aus Arbeitsplätzen besteht, entstanden drei Zonen: Kommunikation, Regeneration und Konzentration. Insbesondere die Kommunikation sollte nie vernachlässigt werden, da durch den spontanen Austausch, wie in vielen Studien bewiesen, die Produktivität und Kreativität steigt. Ebenso sind Rückzugsorte, an denen bewusst nicht gearbeitet wird, ein wichtiger Bestandteil von New Work. In jeder der drei Zonen richtet sich die Gestaltung nach der Funktionalität, die somit abwechslungsreiche Arbeitswelten entstehen lässt.
description: During the bachelor thesis at the HAWK Hildesheim we created an open office concept, which includes the competence fields interior, lighting and color design. For an international company, one example floor was planned. To create a unified office concept, the interplay of the three individual competencies is the main focus. The structural conditions facilitate the design without room-dividing walls, since the merging of the areas provides for visual relationships and transparency in the room. To create a pleasant atmosphere for the employees, which does not only consist of workplaces, three zones were created: Communication, Regeneration and Concentration. Communication in particular should never be neglected, as spontaneous exchanges, as proven in many studies, increase productivity and creativity. Likewise, places of retreat, where work is deliberately not done, are an important component of New Work. These three zones, the design is based on functionality, which thus creates varied working environments.

description: When measuring gloss, beneath the amount of reflected light that is reflected on a surface, also the light distribution that decides about the image forming capability of a surface has to be considered. In this study, three gloss meters (micro-TRI-gloss from Byk Gardner, IQ-S from Rhopoint, RA-532H Surface Reflectance Analyzer from Canon) that measure different aspects of gloss such as the amount of specular reflected light as well as the light distribution are used. The principles of the different aspects of gloss are explained and it is shown how the instruments measure these. Finally, measurement results taken from four different metallic embellishments from the printing industry are shown and discussed.

description: This contribution presents a concept for early virtual evaluation of high-definition (HD) lighting functions for different beam patterns without requiring major manual changes to the headlight control algorithm. This is achieved by designing the headlight control algorithm to automatically adapt to the current beam pattern and realize various lighting functions of generalized targets. This paper delivers the general concept of the algorithm for the case of relative target utilization of the light sources and presents the modifications to the approach required to control the illumination of a spot using a low-resolution matrix-headlamp.
