description: Introduction Studies with focus on effects of manual therapy techniques on postural control and muscle activity in patients with chronic ankle instability (are lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of a planned cross-over study to assess efficacy of manual therapy techniques applications in patients with chronic ankle instability. Methods This feasibility study used a randomized controlled, blinded assessor cross-over design. Criteria of success under evaluation were adherence and attrition rates and adverse events. while preliminary treatment effects of manual therapy techniques on muscular activity (measured by surface electromyography) and on dynamic balance (measured by time to stabilization test) were secondary aims. Results Thirteen participants (mean age: 24.4 ± 3.8 years) with chronic ankle instability volunteered in this feasibility study. Success criteria showed a high adherence (98.7%) and low attrition (0%). No missing data were reported but four out of 26 data sets could not be used for statistical analysis because of non-readability of the recorded data. Preliminary treatment effect showed divergent results for surface electromyography and time to stabilization. One significant result (p = 0.03, ES = 1.48) in peroneus longus muscle activity after jump landing between 30 and 60 ms could be determined. Conclusions This study showed that the study protocol is feasible but should be modified by offering participants the opportunity to familiarize to the jumps and to the test repetitions. This study generates better understanding of manual therapy techniques for patients with chronic ankle instability

description: Im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie wurde ersichtlich, dass das Konzept der „Green Logistics“ an Bedeutung gewinnen wird, weil im E-Commerce Just-in-time-Bestellungen anhaltend bedeutend sein werden. Die Forderung nach Nachhaltigkeit setzt die Wirtschaft generell aber speziell die Logistikbranche vor die Herausforderung, ressourceneffizient zu produzieren oder Dienstleistungen zu erbringen. Kann mit dem Einsatz von digitalen Technologien die erforderliche Ressourceneffizienz verbessert werden? Der Beitrag geht am Beispiel der Transport- und Lagerungslogistik dem Zusammenhang von digitaler Transformation und Nachhaltigkeit nach und zeigt mit einer empirischen Untersuchung in der Schweizer Logistik auf, wie man den Effekt messen kann. Erste Erhebungen weisen auf Branchenebene darauf hin, dass es einen positiven Effekt vom Einsatz digitaler Technologien auf die die ökologische und ökonomische Nachhaltigkeit gibt.

description: Declining land productivity remains a challenge for agriculture-based livelihoods and for achieving food security. Yet identifying how land users perceive land degradation and their capacity to manage land in an environmentally sustainable manner can influence the measures initiated to address it. Using the case of Niger State, Nigeria, this study examines land users’ perceptions of land degradation and land management measures to address it in the Nigerian Guinea Savannah. We used the Moderate-resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer derived Normalized Difference Vegetation Index as a proxy for degradation status, selecting 30 communities based on the extent of degraded areas. We adapted the World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies, Sustainable Land Management questionnaires to capture perceptions and administered 225 questionnaires to land users. Through key informant interviews, we collected narrative insights and data on perspectives and motivations of land users to understand land degradation situations and to interpret the questionnaire surveys. We analysed data through descriptive statistics, Principal Component Analysis and qualitative analysis. Our analysis identified four perceptions dimensions of land degradation characteristics, two perceptions dimensions of land degradation drivers, and six perceptions dimensions of sustainable land management. The results also confirmed that degradation in Niger State is both due to widespread unsustainable human activities within Niger state and those by migrant farmers and pastoralism from adjoining Sudan Sahelian states that push people further south, a leakage of ongoing land degradation and conflicts in other areas. To deal with local land degradation in Niger State, improved land tenure, alternative livelihood strategies, poverty eradication and awareness, nature-based sustainable land management practices such as tree-based initiatives, environmentally friendly agriculture such as Farmer Managed Natural Regeneration supported by the necessary political will and institutions are critical.

description: Der Handlungsrahmen von Digital Business hängt wesentlich von den Haltungen der politischen Entscheidungsträger ab. Im Vorfeld der Schweizer Wahlen 2019 wurden sämtliche Kandidierende zu ihrer Einstellung gegenüber verschiedensten Aspekten der Digitalisierung befragt. Der Beitrag wertet gezielt digitalpolitische Fragen mit Wirtschaftsbezug aus. Auf diese Weise wird ein Bild des in der Schweizer Politik vorherrschenden Bewusstseins und der Einstellungen gegenüber den Herausforderungen der Digitalisierung in der Wirtschaft gezeichnet. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass bei Themen wie der Verstärkung von Umschulungsangeboten oder der Verankerung internationaler Leitlinien für den Einsatz von künstlicher Intelligenz unter den Parteien breiter Konsens besteht. Hingegen herrschen bei Fragen des Arbeitnehmerschutzes oder bei sozialpolitischen Forderungen wie derjenigen eines bedingungslosen Grundeinkommens Konfliktmuster vor, die aus der Alltagspolitik bekannt sind. Für eine politisch erfolgreiche Bewältigung der digitalen Transformation wird es letztlich entscheidend sein, dass die Sensibilisierung für das Thema in Politik und Öffentlichkeit weiter vorangetrieben wird.

description: Verwaltungstätigkeiten sind künftig noch effizienter, qualitativ hochwertiger und kundennäher zu gestalten. Hierfür ist die effiziente Organisation der Informatik in der öffentlichen Verwaltung ein zentraler Faktor. Die zunehmende IT-Komplexität auch ausgehend von EGovernment und der Vernetzung legt die Frage nahe, ob IT-Services selbst erbracht oder ausgelagert werden sollen. Der vorliegende Beitrag zeigt den Stand der Ausprägungen des ITSourcings anhand von Berner Kommunen. Als Entscheidungsgrundlage, ob IT-Services auszulagern sind, empfiehlt es sich, eine entsprechende Methode zur Beurteilung auszuwählen. Im vorliegenden Fall ist dies der Ansatz der Transaktionskostentheorie. Dieser zeigt auf, unter welchen Bedingungen die Eigenerstellung oder eine Fremdvergabe (Make or Buy) von ITServices denkbar ist. Daraus lassen sich sogenannte transaktionstheoretische Normstrategien ableiten. Die Entscheidungskriterien lauten wie folgt: Spezifität der Leistung, strategische Bedeutung, Unsicherheit und Häufigkeit der Aufgabenerfüllung. Für diese Kriterien wird eine Bewertung in „hoch“ und „niedrig“ vorgenommen, danach können die Normstrategien abgeleitet werden. Ausgehend davon kann entweder Eigenerstellung oder Outsourcing empfohlen werden. Aus Analyse und Auswertung geht hervor, dass zwei auf Basis der Transaktionskostentheorie aufgestellte Hypothesen nicht bestätigt werden können. Im Kanton Bern gibt es Gemeinden, welche ihre IT-Services aufgrund der niedrigen strategischen Bedeutung und/oder der niedrigen Spezifität auslagern. Es ist kein durchgängiges Muster für die untersuchten Gemeinden ersichtlich. Viele IT-Services werden in den Gemeinden trotz niedrig bewerteten Einflussgrößen selbst erbracht. Ausgehend davon lautet eine Empfehlung: Eine Ist-Analyse bestehender Leistungen durchzuführen und diese in einem weiteren Schritt zu strukturieren, um auslagerbare IT-Services zu identifizieren, etwa basierend auf einem Servicekatalog. Danach kann strukturiert über mögliche Eigenerstellung oder Auslagerung von IT-Services entschieden werden.

Subjects: Wood-based materials Compact façade element Feasibility study Wood fiber board Structural response sandwich panel

description: Common compact façade elements are usually not self-supporting over a span of more than 5 m. For hall buildings self-supporting façade systems are essential to avoid an additional secondary load-bearing structure. PUR sandwich panels, fiber cement boards or aerated concrete elements are widely used. Façade systems made out of timber components or wooden materials are often used for residential or office buildings in Switzerland or other European countries. A wood-based compact façade system however does not exist. The innovative approach is to combine weather-resisting particleboards as inner and outer layer with a core made of soft wood fiber or cork board. The resistance of the core insulation and the composite behavior were investigated in order to fulfill the physical and static requirements of three different scenarios (production halls, warehouses and sports halls).

description: Aufgrund der Globalisierung, der Auswirkungen einer VUCA-Welt sowie der hiermit verbundenen Anforderungen an resiliente Organisationen und Mitarbeitende stoßen klassische Führungsansätze vermeintlich an ihre Grenzen. So sind neue Ansätze gefragt, um das Bestehen und die Weiterentwicklung von Unternehmen sicherzustellen. Dem Konzept der agilen Führung kommt dabei eine besondere Bedeutung zu. Agile Führung ist keine klar umschriebene Führungstheorie mit einer einheitlichen Definition, sondern eher ein neues, sich im Wandel befindendes Konzept. Dabei wird agile Führung als Abkehr von klassischen Top-down-Führungskonzepten empfunden. Mitarbeitende übernehmen in agiler Führung mehr Verantwortung, und die Rolle der Führungskraft ändert sich. Das vorliegende Kapitel untersucht die Voraussetzungen, Ansätze und Ausprägungen agiler Führung sowie die Auswirkungen auf die Mitarbeitenden aus Praxissicht in Form einer qualitativen Untersuchung.

description: Background: Cryptocurrencies have gained popularity as businesses and individuals use them for practical and opportunistic reasons. However, the underlying incentives that lead individuals to trade cryptocurrencies remain unclear.Method: A survey was conducted among 284 individuals in Singapore to investigate the motives for cryptocurrency transactions. This survey was conducted to understand the motives for cryptocurrency transactions. Data were analyzed using fuzzy Set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA), which identifies combinations of variables associated with the likelihood of cryptocurrency transactions.Results: This study identifies six configurations that describe the multifaceted factors influencing cryptocurrency transactions. These configurations include functional affordance, social influence, government regulation, perceived gain, perceived risk, and perceived financial literacy. Each configuration represents a unique profile of cryptocurrency users, including pragmatic strategists, socially guided optimists, risk-cautious contrarians, socially driven trailblazers, bold opportunists, and prudent solo players. These typologies provide a comprehensive overview of the complex cryptocurrency market dynamics.Conclusion: This study sheds light on the incentives and characteristics of the individuals involved in cryptocurrency transactions. The categorizations created may be helpful to policymakers, practitioners, and other stakeholders seeking to understand the cryptocurrency industry and its impact on society. By fully understanding the underlying dynamics driving cryptocurrency transactions, stakeholders can apply a preemptive approach to anticipate outcomes and design tactical plans to maximize the benefits and minimize the drawbacks of cryptocurrencies.

description: Context: Clear and comprehensible communication is essential in the hospital setting and is crucial for the well-being of patients. However, maintaining cost-effective health care systems while ensuring efficient communication, is particularly challenging for healthcare staff. This is a relevant issue, especially when migrant patients are involved. Language barriers constrain medical treatment, can endanger patients’ safety and are a notable challenge to hospital staff, especially to nurses. To provide appropriate treatment, staff must often rely on communication aids. Aim: The aim of this project was to research which criteria were most important in the development of digital communication aids, to improve the care of paediatric patients in the hospital setting. Research question: What requirements do nurses have regarding communication aids in the care of migrant paediatric patients and their relatives? Methods: This paper is the subsequent part of a previously-conducted (Kaufmann et al. 2020). The initial study was conducted by the same interdisciplinary team consisting of design and nursing researchers. It utilized Thematic Analysis qualitative research methodology. The following steps of data collection were undertaken: (1) literature research on two topics corresponding to the research questions, (2) a focus group interview with paediatric hospital nurses, (3) observation of the communication between paediatric nurses and children/parents through shadowing, (4) individual interviews with paediatric nurses and (5) a focus group interview with experts. Findings: The initial study revealed that a variety of communicative challenges influenced the care of migrant paediatric patients (Kaufmann et al. 2020). The results also highlighted which requirements communication aids should fulfil, in order to increase their acceptability by nurses, paediatric patients and their relatives. Using case examples, this paper focuses on these requirements, for the design of sustainable communication aids.

description: Increased global demand for food and energy implies higher competition for agricultural land. Photovoltaic installations contribute to more sustainable solutions to satisfying energy requirements, however, they also require land. To address this dilemma, agrivoltaics has been proposed, combining energy and agricultural production on the same area. Our objectives were to review and synthesise the current agronomic knowledge on agrivoltaics and its future development possibilities. A systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science on 17 December 2022, resulting in 54 articles that met the inclusion criteria and concentrated primarily on food production. Most studies focused on combining electricity generation with crop production. Vegetables, especially lettuce and tomato, were the focus of many papers. The success of a crop under an agrivoltaic system depends on many factors, yet mainly on location and season. Additionally, even light-demanding crops such as maize could be grown under certain conditions. Therefore, we propose to define an optimal daily light integral for each species, rather than a shade level. Given climate change, agrivoltaics may reduce inter-annual yield fluctuation by buffering the negative effects of both frost and high temperatures on crops, as well as reducing water consumption. Future research should focus mainly on berries and on plants whose production can be affected by high temperatures. Experiments on larger areas, over several years, and with solar panels allowing a separation of the light spectrum are needed to promote development of agrivoltaics without affecting crop yields.

description: Abstract

This paper compares Western scientific epistemology with Islamic epistemology in the context of mental health. Qualitative methods are employed through philosophical analysis, literature review, and interviews with relevant practitioners. Findings indicate that Western epistemology, grounded in dualism, materialism, and secular humanism, tends to offer limited solutions to mental health issues, often neglecting the spiritual dimension and denying the existence of God. Conversely, Islamic epistemology, rooted in the concept of tawhid, presents a holistic approach acknowledging the spiritual dimension, resulting in more sustainable and integrated solutions. The significance of monotheism in shaping Muslim identity and supporting a holistic understanding of mental health in the era of secularization is underscored. This conclusion highlights the urgency of integrating the spiritual dimension into mental health practices and advocating for Islam as a relevant framework to understand and address mental health challenges in modern society. In this context, Islamic thought offers a rich and profound approach, providing a more comprehensive and sustainable perspective on human mental health, reinforcing the idea of considering the spiritual dimension in addressing mental health issues in society.

description: Reliable mild photocoagulation and selective retina therapy (SRT) selectively damaging the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) while sparing the neuroretina, the photoreceptors as well as the choroid are highly demanded. However, due to the inter- and intraindividual variability of RPE and choroidal absorption, optical microsurgery requires reliable real-time laser dosing to prevent unwanted overexposure and extended damage of the neuroretina. In this experiment optical coherence tomography (OCT) was implemented to detect minimal damage, and a laser feedback control algorithm was used for real-time dosing. For the first time in-vivo experiments on rabbits were performed with microsecond laser pulses of varying duration. Pigment rabbit eyes (n=6) were exposed to laser pulses of 4, 8, 12, and 20 μs in duration (wavelength, 532 nm; ramp-mode, maximum 15 pulses; repetition rate, 100 Hz). Therefore, a system with a scanning laser ophthalmoscope and spectral-domain OCT (Heidelberg Engineering) extended with a prototype laser (Meridian Medical) was used. For each laser lesion, the increasing ramp’s end energy was individually controlled in real-time using OCT dosimetry (central wavelength, 870 nm; scan rate, 80 kHz). Within 1 hour after irradiation, retinal changes were assessed with fluorescein angiography (FA), indocyanine green angiography (ICGA), color fundus photography (CFP) and OCT. OCT dosimetry utilizing the control algorithm can interrupt the ramp-mode in real-time for each lesion individually. The preconditioned algorithm enabled treatment with a clearly visible breakdown of the blood-retinal barrier (BRB) according to FA and ICGA imaging and barely visible treatment lesions according to CFP. OCT B-scans through the treated areas provided a first indication of the morphological tissue impact. Preliminary evaluation shows that the algorithm stopped the laser at 4 μs at a ramp end energy of 53 μJ (corresponds to 13/15 pulses), at 8 μs at 68 μJ (5/15 pulses), at 12 μs at 74 μJ (7/15 pulses), and at 20 μs at 100 μJ (1/15 pulses). The novel system with OCT based laser dosing proved to induce minimal visible damage and BRB breakdown in a wide range of pulse durations. The new irradiation scheme and algorithm are being optimized and tested in multiple subjects to further limit unwanted damage and enable pure RPE selective laser microsurgery in real-time. This abstract was presented at the 2022 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in Denver, CO, May 1-4, 2022, and virtually.

Subjects: mineral binder geopolymer plywood formaldehyde emission lay-up time veneerroughness veneer layouts compression ratio press temperature

description: Geopolymers show great potential for use as binders in developing and manufacturingmultifunctional wood products. The objective of this study was to improve the bonding qualityof a geopolymer binder, with wood veneers, using different manufacturing parameters. To thisend, we produced five layered plywood panels treated with various lay-up times (1, 5, 10, 15 min),panel compressibility values during hot pressing (5%, 10%, 15%, and 30% compression), veneerroughness values (low, medium, and high roughness), press temperatures (120, 140, and 160◦C),and veneer layouts via changing the middle layer position of plywood relative to the surface layers.The results show that the shear strength and thickness swelling were negatively influenced byincreasing the lay-up time of resinated veneers and panel compressibility. Increasing the veneerroughness significantly increased the panels’ properties. Furthermore, the panels produced witha pressing temperature of 140◦C showed the best performances. The veneer layouts also significantlychanged the physical and mechanical properties of the plywood panels. Generally speaking, the resultsobtained in this study show that improving the bonding quality of geopolymer binders with woodcan be done through the manipulation of plywood manufacturing parameters.

description: The growing interest in the application of phase change materials (PCMs) and their benefit of storing or releasing thermal energy, attracted material scientists to investigate the suitability of PCM in bituminous road paving materials and to study the rheology of PCM-modified bitumen in particular. The use of PCM in road paving materials can contribute to minimize the distresses from seasonal extreme temperature variations in asphalt mixtures. In order to avoid or delay freezing and extreme low temperatures in asphalt pavements, the application of low temperature PCMs can be of great importance. Therefore, bitumens (160/220, 70/100 and 10/20) modified with microencapsulated PCM (µPCM) at low melting temperature were investigated. The dynamic shear rheometer (DSR) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) were used to evaluate the mechanical and thermal properties respectively. Based on the results, modification with 3% µPCM by mass of bitumen has no adverse effects on bitumen rheology but the advantage of minimizing/regulating temperature variations. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the protection of phase change materials as in this case using a polymeric shell is very important for its use in bitumen without reducing its rheological performance.
