description: Um die Frage zu klären, wann nach einer Verletzung wieder in den Sport zurückgekehrt werden darf, werden vermehrt funktionelle Assessmenttests verwendet. Ein solches Assessment entwickelten die Physiotherapeuten Matthias Keller und Oliver Schmidtlein zusammen mit dem Sportwissenschaftler Eduard Kurz, den Return to Activity Algorithmus.

Das Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit ist, drei der insgesamt acht Tests des Algorithmus auf die Gütekriterien Reliabilität und Validität zu überprüfen. Dies betrifft den Front Hop, Side Hop und Square Hop Test.

Mittels systematischer Literaturrecherche wurde in den Datenbanken PubMed, CINAHL Complete, MEDLINE und AMED nach relevanter Literatur gesucht. Dabei wurden vorgängig definierte Ein- und Ausschlusskriterien beachtet. Die ausgewählten vier Studien wurden mithilfe des AICA-Formulars ausgewertet und beurteilt.

Der Intraklassen-Korrelations-Koeffizient von gesunden, jungen und sportlichen Personen, zeigt für alle Hop Tests eine akzeptable bis sehr gute Test-Retest-Reliabilität. Zur Validität liegen vereinzelte Ergebnisse vor, welche eine Beantwortung der hier relevanten Fragestellung nicht zulassen.

Den Ergebnissen nach sind die untersuchten Tests zuverlässige Messinstrumente. Die Resultate können mehrheitlich nur auf eine gesunde und sportliche Population übertragen werden.
Die Validität müsste mit einer klaren, auf diese Arbeit abgestimmten, Hypothese eruiert werden.

description: We introduce a family of random measures $M_{H,T} (d t)$, namely log S-fBM, such that, for $H>0$, $M_{H,T}(d t) = e^{ω_{H,T}(t)} d t$ where $ω_{H,T}(t)$ is a Gaussian process that can be considered as a stationary version of an $H$-fractional Brownian motion. Moreover, when $H \to 0$, one has $M_{H,T}(d t) \rightarrow {\widetilde M}_{T}(d t)$ (in the weak sense) where ${\widetilde M}_{T}(d t)$ is the celebrated log-normal multifractal random measure (MRM). Thus, this model allows us to consider, within the same framework, the two popular classes of multifractal ($H = 0$) and rough volatility ($0

description: We discuss an impact of various (path-wise) reflection-from-the barrier scenarios upon confining properties of a paradigmatic family of symmetric $α$-stable Lévy processes, whose permanent residence in a finite interval on a line is secured by a two-sided reflection. Depending on the specific reflection "mechanism", the inferred jump-type processes differ in their spectral and statistical characteristics, like e.g. relaxation properties, and functional shapes of invariant (equilibrium, or asymptotic near-equilibrium) probability density functions in the interval. The analysis is carried out in conjunction with attempts to give meaning to the notion of a reflecting Lévy process, in terms of the domain of its motion generator, to which an invariant pdf (actually an eigenfunction) does belong.

description: The spin-orbit interaction is a key tool for manipulating and functionalizing spin-dependent electron transport. However, the precise value of the spin-orbit coupling constant is hard to determine and control. Here we propose a measurement of the geometric (Aharonov-Casher) phase of the electron wavefunction generated by the spin-orbit coupling as a means to deduce the spin-orbit coupling strength in weak links. Unlike other proposed measurements of geometric phases, which rely on interference, we show that the anisotropy of the magnetoconductance, measured at different directions of an external magnetic field,is determined by the geometric phase. Specifically we consider weak links in which the Rashba interaction is caused by an external electric field, but our method is expected to apply also for other forms of the spin-orbit coupling. Measuring this magnetoconductance anisotropy thus allows calibrating Rashba spintronic devices by an external electric field that tunes the spin-orbit interaction.

description: The Swiss Federal Office of Public Health (SFOPH) commissioned a Health Technology Assessment (HTA) regarding iron therapy in symptomatic patients with iron deficiency without anemia (iron deficiency no anemia, IDNA)  to the Basel Institute for Clinical Epidemiology and Biostatistics (CEB) and the Winterthur Institute of Health Economics (WIG). The scope, which describes the background of the HTA and elucidates the general approach, has been published on the SFOPH homepage.
This HTA followed a step-wise approach. The aim of the first step was to assess the clinical effectiveness of iron therapy in symptomatic patients with IDNA, and to identify symptomatic populations that benefit from the therapy. In this first step, the clinical effectiveness of iron therapy was assessed in comparison to any other non-iron treatment or placebo, irrespective of the route of iron administration. This step was conducted by CEB, and the results are summarized in chapter 2 of this document.
In the second step, which will be conducted by WIG, the economic evaluation shall compare parenteral versus oral iron therapy for those populations, for which a significant treatment effect of iron therapy (parenteral or oral) versus control could be identified during the first step. Based on the effectiveness results, the scope of the economic evaluation is outlined in chapter 4. Section 4.1 defines the objective of the economic evaluation. Section 4.2 defines the population, the intervention, the comparator, and the outcome (PICO) which will be evaluated. A screening of health economic literature and publicly available HTAs for economic studies comparing parenteral with oral iron therapy is presented in section 4.3, and section 4.4 concludes with the outline of the research methodology of the economic evaluation.

description: A natural model of read-once linear branching programs is a branching program where queries are $\mathbb{F}_2$ linear forms, and along each path, the queries are linearly independent. We consider two restrictions of this model, which we call weakly and strongly read-once, both generalizing standard read-once branching programs and parity decision trees. Our main results are as follows. - Average-case complexity. We define a pseudo-random class of functions which we call directional affine extractors, and show that these functions are hard on average for the strongly read-once model. We then present an explicit construction of such function with good parameters. This strengthens the result of Cohen and Shinkar (ITCS'16) who gave such average-case hardness for parity decision trees. Directional affine extractors are stronger than the more familiar class of affine extractors. Given the significance of these functions, we expect that our new class of functions might be of independent interest. - Proof complexity. We also consider the proof system $\text{Res}[\oplus]$ which is an extension of resolution with linear queries. A refutation of a CNF in this proof system naturally defines a linear branching program solving the corresponding search problem. Conversely, we show that a weakly read-once linear BP solving the search problem can be converted to a $\text{Res}[\oplus]$ refutation with constant blow up.

description: Ziel: Diese Arbeit hat zum Ziel eine Übersicht zu subjektiven und praktikablen Assessments zu geben, welche valide und reliabel die Partizipation bei Menschen mit Beeinträchtigung messen.
Methode: Mittels einer Literaturrecherche wurde die Auswahl für folgende Assessments getroffen: COPM, OCAIRS, OSA, RC, OGQ, OPHI-II. Eine zweite systematische Recherche fand in themenrelevanten Datenbanken im Hinblick auf Studien zu den Gütekriterien statt. Die Studien wurden anhand ihrer Abstracts kritisch nach Informationen zur Güte der Assessments untersucht.

Ergebnisse: Das COPM, OCAIRS, OSA, RC, OGQ und OPHI-II sind valide und reliable Assessments zur Erhebung der Partizpiation. Sie weisen jedoch unterschiedlich starke Evidenzlagen auf. Zudem sind subjektive Assessments, insbesondere Interviews, aufgrund ihres Zwecks, die Wahrnehmung der Klienten zu evaluieren, von Natur aus weniger valide und reliabel, als standardisierte Beobachtungsinstrumente. Die Durchführung der RC, des OSA und des OGQ dauert länger als die des COPM, OCAIRS und OPHI-II.
Schlussfolgerung:
Für den Einsatz subjektiver Assessments ist ein Bewusstsein für deren mögliche Fehlerquote essenziell, da die Ergebnisse auf der sich verändernden Wahrnehmung der Klienten beruht. Sie sind nicht geeignet im Akutsetting oder für Menschen mit kognitiven Einschränkungen. Die Dauer der Assessments ist abhängig von den Anwendungskenntnissen.

description: Schweizweit stehen 70 % aller Amphibienarten auf der Roten Liste. Eine der stark gefährdeten Amphibienarten der Schweiz ist der Teichmolch Lissotriton vulgaris, der in den letzten 25 Jahren einen Bestandesrückgang von rund 50 % erlitt. Auf der Roten Liste der gefährdeten Amphibien der Schweiz ist der Teichmolch unter dem Status EN (endangered = stark gefährdet) zu finden.
Am Sihlsee im Kanton Schwyz bieten Moorlandschaften und Uferabschnitte geeignete Habitate für Amphibien. Die einzigen gesicherten Teichmolch-Nachweise (Einzelfunde) stammten aus den 90er Jahren. 2018 wurde am südlichen Seeufer in der Ahornweid-Nätschweid eine erste herpetologische Untersuchung durchgeführt, in deren Rahmen eine spektakuläre Megapopulation entdeckt werden konnte. Angesichts dieser Entdeckung ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit herauszufinden, welche Populationsgrössen in anderen Teilgebieten nachgewiesen werden können, welche Laichhabitate der Teichmolche bevorzugt, welche Massnahmen für die Erhaltung wichtig sind, wie die Landlebensräume in der Ahornweid-Nätschweid bewohnt werden und welche Populationsstärken andere Amphibienarten zeigen.
Mittels Amphibienfangzäunen, Reusen und Nachtbegehungen wurde versucht, in definierten Teilgebieten Teichmolche und weitere Amphibienarten nachzuweisen. Insgesamt wurden zehn Zaunstrecken in den Gebieten Roblosen, Langrüti, Birchbüel, Schönbächli, Ängi und Breukholz aufgestellt. Mit den eingesetzten Reusen und mit den Nachtbegehungen wurde versucht, Teichmolche in ihren Laich- und Aufenthaltsgewässern nachzuweisen. Hangaufwärts in der Ahornweid-Nätschweid wurden künstliche Verstecke aus Brettern und Blechen ausgelegt, um die Landlebensräume der im Jahr 2018 entdeckten Lokalpopulation ausfindig zu machen.
Insgesamt konnten im Rahmen der Untersuchung 523 Teichmolche rund um den Sihlsee nachgewiesen werden. Rund 96 % der dokumentierten Teichmolche wurde in neun von zehn Amphibienfangzäunen registriert. Mit Hilfe der Amphibienzäune wurden insgesamt 5520 Amphibien dokumentiert, darunter Bergmolche und Erdkröten.

description: A key challenge for robotic systems is to figure out the behavior of another agent. The capability to draw correct inferences is crucial to derive human behavior from examples. Processing correct inferences is especially challenging when (confounding) factors are not controlled experimentally (observational evidence). For this reason, robots that rely on inferences that are correlational risk a biased interpretation of the evidence. We propose equipping robots with the necessary tools to conduct observational studies on people. Specifically, we propose and explore the feasibility of structural causal models with non-parametric estimators to derive empirical estimates on hand behavior in the context of object manipulation in a virtual kitchen scenario. In particular, we focus on inferences under (the weaker) conditions of partial confounding (the model covering only some factors) and confront estimators with hundreds of samples instead of the typical order of thousands. Studying these conditions explores the boundaries of the approach and its viability. Despite the challenging conditions, the estimates inferred from the validation data are correct. Moreover, these estimates are stable against three refutation strategies where four estimators are in agreement. Furthermore, the causal quantity for two individuals reveals the sensibility of the approach to detect positive and negative effects. The validity, stability and explainability of the approach are encouraging and serve as the foundation for further research.

description: Anyons have been extensively investigated as information carriers in topological quantum computation. However, how to characterize the information flow in quantum networks composed of anyons is less understood, which motivates us to study quantum communication protocols in anyonic systems. Here we propose a general topologically protected protocol for quantum teleportation based on the Ising anyon model and prove that with our protocol an unknown anyonic state of any number of Ising anyons can be teleported from Alice to Bob. Our protocol naturally generalizes quantum state teleportation from systems of locally distinguishable particles to systems of Ising anyons, which may promote our understandings of anyonic quantum entanglement as a quantum resource. In addition, our protocol is expected to be realized with the Majorana zero modes, one of the possible physical realizations for the Ising anyon in experiments.

description: Since 3D printing has developed into a highly available method throughout industry and research, numerous methods and techniques have emerged in life sciences. Especially in tissue engineering, several attempts of preparing scaffolds for regenerative medicine have been made so far. The requirements for scaffolds in tissue engineering, such as high porosity, appropriate pore sizes and a suitable range of mechanical properties have not yet met with 3D printing technique. Nanofiber based scaffolds have attracted a lot of attention because they can be tuned and tailor-made for the respective application.
Nanofiber based aerogels are extending the benefits of nanofiber scaffolds into the 3rd dimension They are prepared by freeze-casting methods and shown excellent properties regarding density, porosity and Young's modulus. Unfortunately, those structures always require a mold for shaping of the aerogel. We herein present a novel method for the layer-by-layer fabrication of nanofiber structured aerogels.
Starting from a commercially available 3D printer, a completely new hardware for the controlled deposition of nanofiber suspensions was developed. 3D printing of those suspensions was finally facilitated by including a magnetic stirring system within the printing head as well as providing a cold print bed which is capable of keeping the surface temperature at -50 °C.

description: Purpose. Agribusiness offers huge employment potential considering its wide labour absorptive capacity and the youth have a role to play. The study aimed at assessing the relationship between access to financial services and youth involvement in agricultural value chains. Methodology / approach. The study was conducted in Kakamega County, Kenya. Stratified and simple random sampling was adopted to select 240 respondents. Interviews were conducted using a stratified questionnaire. The collected data were analyzed to generate frequencies, percentages and correlation. Results. The results revealed that youth involvement across the agricultural value chain is low. Further, there was a strong correlation between access to finance and youth involvement in agricultural value chains. Inadequate access to financial services is a key constrain to agricultural productivity in Kakamega county as it affects all aspects of the value chain except consumption. Originality / scientific novelty. The study considers the entire agricultural value chain from production to consumption and assesses the relationship between financial resource access and youth involvement at each segment of the value chain. This is significant since the Kenyan population is youthful. Practical value / implications. The study reveals that there is a strong relationship between access to financial service and youth involvement in the agricultural value chain towards securing their livelihoods. This knowledge is useful to County and national government policymakers and Donor agencies to formulate policies that will enhance youth access to financial resources and consequently their involvement in the Agricultural Value Chain to grow their incomes and improvement of their wellbeing. This will be achieved by knowing what segments of the value chain offer best opportunities for them to thrive in business to guide development of intervention strategies.

description: Physics-Informed Neural Networks (PINNs) have gained much attention in various fields of engineering thanks to their capability of incorporating physical laws into the models. However, the assessment of PINNs in industrial applications involving coupling between mechanical and thermal fields is still an active research topic. In this work, we present an application of PINNs to a non-Newtonian fluid thermo-mechanical problem which is often considered in the rubber calendering process. We demonstrate the effectiveness of PINNs when dealing with inverse and ill-posed problems, which are impractical to be solved by classical numerical discretization methods. We study the impact of the placement of the sensors and the distribution of unsupervised points on the performance of PINNs in a problem of inferring hidden physical fields from some partial data. We also investigate the capability of PINNs to identify unknown physical parameters from the measurements captured by sensors. The effect of noisy measurements is also considered throughout this work. The results of this paper demonstrate that in the problem of identification, PINNs can successfully estimate the unknown parameters using only the measurements on the sensors. In ill-posed problems where boundary conditions are not completely defined, even though the placement of the sensors and the distribution of unsupervised points have a great impact on PINNs performance, we show that the algorithm is able to infer the hidden physics from local measurements.

Επίσης επιχειρείται μέσα από μια σειρά παρεμβάσεων, οι οποίες έχουν ως σκοπό την παρακολούθηση και την μείωση της παιδικής παχυσαρκίας, να παρουσιαστούν και να γίνει αξιολόγηση της αποτελεσματικότητάς τους. Μεθοδολογία: Πραγματοποιήθηκε βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση, τόσο των τελευταίων ετών όσο και παλαιότερων, προκειμένου να αναζητηθούν ερευνητικές μελέτες και άρθρα με σκοπό να γίνουν εμφανείς και ξεκάθαρες όχι μόνο οι αιτίες και οι επιπτώσεις της παιδικής παχυσαρκίας αλλά και να διερευνηθεί ο ρόλος των σχολικών παρεμβάσεων στην υιοθέτηση υγιεινών συνηθειών ζωής και στην προώθηση της ψυχοκοινωνικής ευημερίας των παιδιών. Αποτελέσματα: Οι σχολικές παρεμβάσεις για την πρόληψη και την αντιμετώπιση της παιδικής παχυσαρκίας είναι, σε μεγάλο βαθμό, αποτελεσματικές όταν περιλαμβάνουν προγράμματα φυσικής άσκησης και διατροφής. Τα παιδιά έχουν τη δυνατότητα να ασκηθούν και να μάθουν υγιεινές διατροφικές συνήθειες. Σημαντικός διαφαίνεται ο ρόλος της οικογένειας σε συνεργασία με την σχολική κοινότητα. Η εισαγωγή εκπαιδευτικών προγραμμάτων στο σχολικό περιβάλλον αυξάνει την ευαισθητοποίηση των μαθητών σε θέματα ενός υγιούς τρόπου διαβίωσης. Συμπεράσματα: Η παιδική παχυσαρκία αποτελεί μία από τις πιο σημαντικές αιτίες νοσηρότητας στην παιδική ηλικία. Η οικογένεια και η σχολική κοινότητα διαφαίνεται ότι διαδραματίζουν σημαντικό ρόλο στην πρόληψη και την αντιμετώπιση της παιδικής παχυσαρκίας με την πραγματοποίηση σχολικών παρεμβάσεων, που επικεντρώνονται στην εκπαίδευση των παιδιών δε έναν πιο υγιεινό τρόπο ζωής και στην υιοθέτηση υγιεινών διατροφικών συνηθειών.

description: In modern classification tasks, the number of labels is getting larger and larger, as is the size of the datasets encountered in practice. As the number of classes increases, class ambiguity and class imbalance become more and more problematic to achieve high top-1 accuracy. Meanwhile, Top-K metrics (metrics allowing K guesses) have become popular, especially for performance reporting. Yet, proposing top-K losses tailored for deep learning remains a challenge, both theoretically and practically. In this paper we introduce a stochastic top-K hinge loss inspired by recent developments on top-K calibrated losses. Our proposal is based on the smoothing of the top-K operator building on the flexible "perturbed optimizer" framework. We show that our loss function performs very well in the case of balanced datasets, while benefiting from a significantly lower computational time than the state-of-the-art top-K loss function. In addition, we propose a simple variant of our loss for the imbalanced case. Experiments on a heavy-tailed dataset show that our loss function significantly outperforms other baseline loss functions.

description: The DNS is one of the most crucial parts of the Internet. Since the original DNS specifications defined UDP and TCP as the underlying transport protocols, DNS queries are inherently unencrypted, making them vulnerable to eavesdropping and on-path manipulations. Consequently, concerns about DNS privacy have gained attention in recent years, which resulted in the introduction of the encrypted protocols DNS over TLS (DoT) and DNS over HTTPS (DoH). Although these protocols address the key issues of adding privacy to the DNS, they are inherently restrained by their underlying transport protocols, which are at strife with, e.g., IP fragmentation or multi-RTT handshakes - challenges which are addressed by QUIC. As such, the recent addition of DNS over QUIC (DoQ) promises to improve upon the established DNS protocols. However, no studies focusing on DoQ, its adoption, or its response times exist to this date - a gap we close with our study. Our active measurements show a slowly but steadily increasing adoption of DoQ and reveal a high week-over-week fluctuation, which reflects the ongoing development process: As DoQ is still in standardization, implementations and services undergo rapid changes. Analyzing the response times of DoQ, we find that roughly 40% of measurements show considerably higher handshake times than expected, which traces back to the enforcement of the traffic amplification limit despite successful validation of the client's address. However, DoQ already outperforms DoT as well as DoH, which makes it the best choice for encrypted DNS to date.

description: Η παρούσα διπλωματική εργασία αποσκοπεί στη μελέτη διαφόρων κύκλων αεριοστροβίλου καθώς και στον υπολογισμό των επιδόσεων βιομηχανικού αεριοστροβίλου μέσω μοντελοποίησης στο προγραμματιστικό πακέτο Matlab. Έτσι, γίνεται αρχικά μία σύντομη εισαγωγή στα γενικά χαρακτηριστικά και στον τρόπο λειτουργίας ενός αεριοστροβίλου και στη συνέχεια, πραγματοποιείται θερμοδυναμική ανάλυση για διάφορες περιπτώσεις κύκλων αεριοστροβίλου. Στην ανάλυση αυτή, κύριος σκοπός αποτελεί η περιγραφή και δημιουργία του τρόπου επίλυσης του κάθε συστήματος ώστε να βρεθεί η αντίστοιχη θερμική απόδοση καθώς και η ειδική κατανάλωση καυσίμου. Οι διάφορες αυτές περιπτώσεις αναφέρονται σε αεριοστρόβιλο απλής ατράκτου, διδύμων ατράκτων, με χρήση ανακομιστή θερμότητας, με ψύξη πτερυγίων στροβίλου, αεριοστρόβιλο με ψεκασμό με νερό στην είσοδο του συμπιεστή καθώς και συνδυασμό όλων αυτών. Ύστερα από την ανάλυση αυτών των θερμοδυναμικών κύκλων, πραγματοποιείται περιγραφή για τον προσδιορισμό του μεγέθους της ειδικής θερμοχωρητικότητας υπό σταθερή πίεση, μέγεθος το οποίο χρησιμοποιείται για την εύρεση των τιμών των χαρακτηριστικών κάθε κύκλου αεριοστροβίλου. Στη συνέχεια, περιγράφεται και κατασκευάζεται η διαδικασία υπολογισμού των επιδόσεων για αεριοστρόβιλο απλής ατράκτου για λειτουργία σε μερικά φορτία, με χρήση βιοκαυσίμου, καθώς και για συνδυασμένο κύκλο αεριοστροβίλου-ατμοστροβίλου (κύκλος Brayton-Rankine). Για τον τελευταίο μάλιστα, γίνεται ανάλυση του Pinch Point καθώς και της επιφάνειας μεταφοράς θερμότητας της γεννήτριας ανάκτησης θερμότητας και παραγωγής ατμού (HRSG) της εγκατάστασης. Εφόσον ολοκληρωθούν οι παραπάνω ενέργειες, γίνεται η μοντελοποίηση με βάση τις διαδικασίες υπολογισμού για κάθε περίπτωση κύκλου αεριοστροβίλου μέσω χρήσης κώδικα στο Matlab, όπου τα δεδομένα προκύπτουν από πραγματικό βιομηχανικό αεριοστρόβιλο. Έτσι, προσομοιώνεται η λειτουργία του συγκεκριμένου αεριοστροβίλου μέσω του συνολικού μοντέλου που κατασκευάζεται στο Matlab για τις διάφορες περιπτώσεις κύκλων και εξάγονται τα αντίστοιχα αποτελέσματα σε μορφή διαγραμμάτων και πινάκων. Με αυτόν τον τρόπο, αναλύεται η συσχέτιση των διαφόρων χαρακτηριστικών του αεριοστροβίλου μεταξύ τους και εξάγονται τελικά τα αντίστοιχα συμπεράσματα για τη λειτουργία του συστήματος.

description: Federated Learning (FL) has emerged as a promising technique for edge devices to collaboratively learn a shared machine learning model while keeping training data locally on the device, thereby removing the need to store and access the full data in the cloud. However, FL is difficult to implement, test and deploy in practice considering heterogeneity in common edge device settings, making it fundamentally hard for researchers to efficiently prototype and test their optimization algorithms. In this work, our aim is to alleviate this problem by introducing FL_PyTorch : a suite of open-source software written in python that builds on top of one the most popular research Deep Learning (DL) framework PyTorch. We built FL_PyTorch as a research simulator for FL to enable fast development, prototyping and experimenting with new and existing FL optimization algorithms. Our system supports abstractions that provide researchers with a sufficient level of flexibility to experiment with existing and novel approaches to advance the state-of-the-art. Furthermore, FL_PyTorch is a simple to use console system, allows to run several clients simultaneously using local CPUs or GPU(s), and even remote compute devices without the need for any distributed implementation provided by the user. FL_PyTorch also offers a Graphical User Interface. For new methods, researchers only provide the centralized implementation of their algorithm. To showcase the possibilities and usefulness of our system, we experiment with several well-known state-of-the-art FL algorithms and a few of the most common FL datasets.

description: In Anbetracht des stetigen Nutzungsdruckes im Siedlungsraum wird es zunehmend wichtiger, Grünflächen möglichst biodivers und somit ökologisch wertvoll zu gestalten. Deshalb wird am Institut für Umwelt und Natürliche Ressourcen der ZHAW ein neues Konzept namens Ecosystem Aided Design (EAD) entwickelt. Es dient als Instrument um biodiversitätsfördernde Projekte im urbanen Raum zu realisieren. Das EAD basiert auf dem bereits bestehenden Animal Aided Design (AAD), welches den Fokus auf die Förderung einzelner Tierarten legt. Mit dem erweiterten ganzheitlichen Ansatz des EAD sollen nun ergänzend dazu die Lebensräume in die Planung integriert werden. Die ausführliche Auseinandersetzung mit Flora und Fauna Inventaren ermöglicht zudem die Berücksichtigung der Vernetzung der Arten. Somit kann die räumliche Dimension des AAD erweitern werden, was einen noch grösseren positiven Effekt für die Biodiversität mit sich bringt und das nachhaltige Bestehen von biodiversitätsfördernden Projekten sichert.
description: High utilization pressure in settlement areas increases the importance of creating green spaces as biodiverse and thus ecologically valuable as possible. In the light of those requirements, the Institute of Natural Resource Science at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Wädenswil is currently developing a new concept titled Ecosystem Aided Design (EAD). It aims to serve as an instrument that supports the realization of projects which enhance biodiversity in urban areas. The EAD is based upon the already existing Animal Aided Design (AAD) which focuses on fostering distinct animal species. However, the holistic approach of the EAD also includes biospheres in the planning process. Thereby, a comprehensive analysis of flora and fauna inventories enables to consider connections between species. The increased scope of the EAD in comparison to the AAD results in a superior impact on biodiversity and increases the sustainability of projects fostering biodiversity.

description: Microglial cells are the primary immune cells in the central nervous system. In the mature brain, microglia perform functions that include eliminating pathogens and clearing dead/dying cells and cellular debris through phagocytosis. In the immature brain, microglia perform functions that include synapse development and the regulation of cell production through extensive contact with and phagocytosis of neural progenitor cells (NPCs). However, the functional role of microglia in the proliferation and differentiation of NPCs under hypoxic-ischemic (HI) injury is not clear. Here, we tested the hypothesis that microglia enhance NPCs proliferation following HI insult. Primary NPCs cultures were divided into four treatment groups: 1) normoxic NPCs (NN); 2) normoxic NPCs cocultured with microglia (NN+M); 3) hypoxic NPCs (HN); and 4) hypoxic NPCs cocultured with microglia (HN+M). Hypoxic-ischemic injury was induced by pretreatment of the cell cultures with 100 µM deferoxamine mesylate (DFO). NPCs treated with 100 µM DFO (HN groups) for 24 hours had significantly increased expression of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α), a marker of hypoxic cells. Cell number, protein expression, mitosis, and cell cycle phase were examined, and the data were compared between the four groups. We found that the number of cells expressing the NPCs marker Sox2 increased significantly in the HN+M group and that the number of PH3-positive cells increased in the HN+M group; flow cytometry analysis showed a significant increase in the percentage of cells in the G2/M phase in the HN+M group. In summary, these results support the concept that microglia enhance the survival of NPCs under HI injury by increasing NPCs proliferation, survival, and differentiation. These results further suggest that microglia may induce neuroprotective effects after hypoxic injury that can be explored to develop novel therapeutic strategies for the treatment of HI injury in the immature brain.
