Healthy and good sleep is a prerequisite for a rested mind and body. Both form the basis for physical and mental health. Healthy sleep is hindered by sleep disorders, the medically diagnosed frequency of which increases sharply from the age of 40. This chapter describes the formal specification of an on-course practical implementation for a non-invasive system based on biomedical signal processing to support the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related diseases. The system aims to continuously monitor vital data during sleep in a patient’s home environment over long periods by using non-invasive technologies. At the center of the development is the MORPHEUS Box (MoBo), which consists of five main conceptualizations: the MoBo core, the MoBo-HW, the MoBo algorithm, the MoBo API, and the MoBo app. These synergistic elements aim to support the diagnosis and treatment of sleep-related diseases. Although there are related developments in individual aspects concerning the system, no comparative approach is known that gives a similar scope of functionality, deployment flexibility, extensibility, or the possibility to use multiple user groups. With the specification provided in this chapter, the MORPHEUS project sets a good platform, data model, and transmission strategies to bring an innovative proposal to measure sleep quality and detect sleep diseases from non-invasive sensors.
Die energetische Sanierung von Gebäuden ist von großer Relevanz, um die gesetzlichen Klimaziele zu erreichen. Die Methode des seriellen Sanierens spielt hierbei eine wichtige Rolle. Sie gilt als ganzheitliche Maßnahme zur energetischen Aufwertung von Bestandsgebäuden, durch die nicht nur die Gebäudehülle und die Anlagentechnik, wie etwa das Heizungssystem, effektiv verbessert werden, sondern auch eine Integration von Anlagen zur Strom- und Warmwasseraufbereitung erfolgt. Bei der seriellen Sanierung wird, in Anlehnung an die Industrie und an die modulare Bauweise, eine Vorfertigung der Fassaden-
und Dachelemente durchgeführt. Im Nachgang werden die einzelnen Bauelemente und Anlagen montiert bzw. installiert. Durch die Auslagerung der Produktion und durch die Vorfertigung der Elemente besteht das Potenzial, die Montagezeit und die damit verbundenen Einschränkungen vor Ort für die Bewohner deutlich zu reduzieren.
Purpose
In order to combat climate change and safeguard a liveable future we need fundamental and rapid social change. Climate communication can play an important role to nurture the public engagement needed for this change, and higher education for sustainability can learn from climate communication.
Approach
The scientific evidence base on climate communication for effective public engagement is summarised into ten key principles, including ‘basing communication on people’s values’, ‘conscious use of framing’, and ‘turning concern into action’. Based on the author’s perspective and experience in the university context, implications are explored for sustainability in higher education.
Findings
The article provides suggestions for teaching (e.g. complement information with consistent behaviour by the lecturer, integrate local stories, and provide students with basic skills to communicate climate effectively), for research (e.g. make teaching for effective engagement the subject of applied research), for universities’ third mission to contribute to sustainable development
in the society (e.g. provide climate communication trainings to empower local stakeholders), andgreening the campus (develop a proper engagement infrastructure, e.g. by a university storytelling exchange on climate action).
Originality
The article provides an up-to-date overview of climate communication research, which is in itself original. This evidence base holds interesting learnings for institutions of higher education, and the link between climate communication and universities has so far not been explored comprehensively.
This study aims to adapt CEFR in developing an integrative approach-based teaching material model for a pre-basic BISOL class. The method used in this research is the development research design by Borg and Gall. This study was development research. The stages are identification of the problem, formulation of a hypothetical draft model; feasibility testing by experts; product revision; and test product effectiveness. The data were collected through survey techniques, interviews, and documentation. The needs identification results revealed data encompassing 10 themes, 5 tasks per theme, and diverse evaluations comprising theory, in-class practice, and real-world field assignments, both on an individual and group basis. These identified needs require alignment with CEFR A1 for the development of BISOL learning. These findings were subsequently incorporated into the design of the teaching material model, and the results indicated that tailoring CEFR to BISOL as an integrative language teaching material model was feasible for application in the classroom, as assessed by experts. The implications suggest that integrating CEFR into BISOL is highly feasible for the development of teaching materials, and teachers can leverage this instructional model to enhance students' proficiency in the Indonesian language.
Infrastructure-making in interwar India was a dynamic, multilayered process involving roads and vehicles in urban and rural sites. One of their strongest playgrounds was Bombay Presidency and the Central Provinces in central and western India. Focusing on this region in the interwar period, this paper analyzes the varied relationship between peasant households and town-centred modernizing agents in the making of road transport infrastructures. The central argument of this paper is about the persistence of bullock carts over motor cars in the region. This persistence was grounded in the specific regional environment, the effects of the 1930s economic depression, and the priorities of social classes. Pinpointing these connections, the paper highlights that “modernization” of infrastructure was not a simple, linear process of progressivist change, nor did it mean the survival of apparently “old” technologies in the modern era. Instead, the paper pays attention to conflicting social complexities, implications, and meanings of the connection between infrastructure and modernity that modernization assumptions often overlook. Here, the paper shows how technological change occurred as a result of real, material class interests pulling infrastructural technology in different directions. This was where and why arguments of road-motor lobbyists and cart advocates eventually clashed, and Gandhian social workers resisted motor transport in defense of peasant interests.
"KI first" braucht Verlierer
(2023)
Aktuell vergeht kaum eine Woche, in der nicht ein Unternehmen den Kampf um die Vorherrschaft im Bereich der Künstlichen Intelligenz (KI) aufnimmt. Tech-Konzerne versprechen sich auch von KI-gesteuerten Bildgeneratoren satte Gewinne. Diese ahmen mit synthetischen Mischbildern stilprägende Künstler/innen nach. Dabei wird auf die Rechtslage verwiesen, die eine zustimmungs- und vergütungsfreie Vervielfältigung ihrer Kunstwerke für Trainingszwecke angeblich zulässt. Doch Widerstand von Künstlern/innen hiergegen ist gesellschaftlich dringend geboten und wäre im Übrigen auch rechtlich gedeckt.
Die jüngeren Entscheidungen des EuGH sowie des BAG zur Arbeitszeiterfassung haben trotz ihrer eigentlich klaren Aussagen in der betrieblichen Praxis zu teils erheblichen Verunsicherungen geführt: Müssen nun wirklich die Arbeitszeiten der Beschäftigten erfasst werden und wie wirkt sich das auf die in vielen Unternehmen gelebte „Vertrauensarbeitszeit“ aus?
