The Osnabrueck University of Applied Sciences has initiated a project to investigate whether and how dual study programs or even elements of it can be integrated into South African university study programs. The present part of the investigation presents the expert assessments of the demands and requirements for dual study programs and, based on a company survey, the existing level of information.
The significance of dual study programs in South Africa is still low, only a few company specific approaches exist, mostly in internationally operating companies. Nevertheless, closer cooperation and more company orientated learning is required. The willingness to participate in dual study programs was confirmed from all surveyed companies. Dual courses seems to be particularly suitable for technical disciplines, but are also suitable for some business courses.
In idea creation and assessment processes the accruement and the description of an idea are mostly allocated to a fixed point in time, defined as the end of the generating process and the start of the idea assessment. This static approach does not fit the reality in industrial idea processes. A dynamic approach for idea assessment is therefore introduced. An idea is not seen as a static but as a dynamic state, characterized by different degrees of maturity. Maturity is understood as a measure of the assessability of the individual evaluation characteristics.
Based on Crosby’s maturity model and on classical Capability Maturity Models, a new Idea Maturity Model (IMM) has been developed and is introduced for the first time. The five Idea Maturity Levels (IML) are named Initial, Awareness, Appraisability, Valuation, and Realisability and harmonize well with other maturity models. The levels are described by general characteristics, although the development of the maturity model focussed on new product or service development. The compatibility of the IMM with idea assessment processes and conditions in organisations and companies has been checked.
Der nachfolgende Projektbericht, welcher im Rahmen des Masterprojektes und des Moduls „Bildgebende Sensortechnik“ erarbeitet wurde, ist wie folgt den beiden Fächern zuzuordnen.
Die Kapitel, welche sich mit der Inbetriebnahme und den Umgang des SICK RMS320 Radarsensors beschäftigen, sind Teil des Masterprojektes. Dies betrifft die Kapitel 2.2, 4.1, 4.3 und in Teilen das Kapitel 4.5.
Dem Modul „Bildgebende Sensortechnik“ sind hingegen die Messung des Einflusses von Kleidung auf die Erkennungsfähigkeit eines Menschen sowie die Radarmessungen der verschiedene Prüfkörper zuzuordnen. Dies wird in den Kapiteln 2.3, 3, 4.2, 4.4 und 4.5 behandelt.
Die „Grundlagen der Radartechnik“ sind für beide Teile gleichbedeutend wichtig.
In September 2022, the interprofessional European Summer School on the topic “Information in Healthcare – From Data to Knowledge” was held at the University of Porto. This Summer School included the topics Interoperability, Data Protection and Security and Data Analytics and consisted of an online preparation phase and an attendance phase in Porto. The didactic concept involved problem-based learning using a case study. A variety of course materials were developed and used to achieve the learning objectives. There are plans to continue the Summer School concept at participating institutions in the future, starting with a Spring School 2023 in Osnabrück.
Interoperability, Data Protection and Security and Data Analytics are of high relevance for the future of eHealth and interprofessional care. Three online courses were therefore designed and delivered for these topics, all of which followed the same structure. A variety of materials were developed and different tools for knowledge transfer, communication and collaboration were used.
Objectives: Evaluation of multislice-CT (MSCT) during diagnosis and therapeutic decision-making in patients with suspected non-occlusive mesenteric ischemia (NOMI).
Methods: Retrospective, institutional review board-approved study of 30 patients (20 men, 10 women, mean age 64.6±14.2 years, range 24-87 years) undergoing biphasic abdominal MSCT followed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) due to suspected NOMI. MSCT and DSA were qualitatively and quantitatively evaluated independently by two radiologists with respect to the possible diagnosis of NOMI. MSCT analysis included quantitative measurements, qualitative evaluation of contrast enhancement and assessment of secondary findings (bowel wall thickening, hypo-enhancement, intestinal pneumatosis). MSCT diagnosis and secondary findings were compared against DSA diagnosis.
Results: NOMI was diagnosed in a total of n = 28 patients. No differences were found when comparing the R1-rated MSCT diagnosis (p = 0.09) to the "gold standard", while MSCT diagnosis was slightly inferior with R2 (p = 0.02). With R1, vessel-associated parameters revealed the best correlation, i.e. qualitative vessel width (r = -0.39;p = 0.03) and vessel contrast (r = 0.45;p = 0.01). Moderate correlations were found for quantitative vessel diameters in the middle segments (r = -0.48,p = 0.01), increasing to almost high correlations in the distal (r = -0.66;p<0.00001) superior mesenteric artery (SMA) segments. No significant correlation was apparent from secondary findings.
Conclusions: MSCT is an appropriate non-invasive method for diagnosing NOMI and leads to adequate and immediate therapeutic stratificatio
The University of Eastern Finland was the responsible partner of IO1: European eHealth Education: Policy and Practice Review. The aim of this intellectual output was to customize and validate the already existing international health informatics recom-mendations. Based on that the aim was also to describe the priorities of core compe-tencies and learning outcomes particularly in the fields addressed by this project. The methods used were a scoping review and focus group interviews. The aim of the scoping review was to explore how education in health informatics (HI) has been taught by evaluating the existing international frameworks and reported ed-ucations in HI. The scoping review was conducted based on the instructions of Joanna Briggs Institute to find English language publications published between 2016 and 2020. All publications found in the bibliographical database MEDLINE via PubMed, Scopus and Web of Sciences were included. The results indicated that education in HI is essential to everyone, and everyone needs skills and knowledge in both technical and non-technical skills in HI. Education in HI should be introduced already in the first year of the education and with time increase the knowledge to a more advanced level. The teaching methods can vary between lectures in class to a more hybrid method. The aim of the online focus group interview was to investigate the needs of HI compe-tencies in health care. To achieve the answers, two main questions were used as a base of the interview. The first question focused on how knowledge and competencies in health informatics could contribute to improving health care. The second question focused on which HI competencies are seen as important to learn and how to achieve them. Online focus group interviews were conducted in each of the three countries. The interviews were done the own languages (German, Portuguese, and Finnish) and later summarized and translated to English. The focus group interviews concluded that there are challenges and possibilities in health informatics. It also highlighted the com-petencies seen as important to have in daily working life. For example, skills in appli-cations in patient care, knowledge in IT-background and IT related management are considered important.
Kugelstrahlen ist ein im Maschinenbau eingesetztes Verfahren zur Steigerung der Ermüdungsfestigkeit. Es wird z. B. bei hochbelasteten Komponenten in der Luft- und Raumfahrt, der Fahrzeugtechnik, im Turbomaschinenbau und weiteren Industriezweigen angewandt. Die Einstellung der Betriebsparameter der Kugelstrahlanalage findet üblicherweise mit kostenintensiven empirischen Versuchen statt, mit dem Ziel, die vorgegebene Druckeigenspannung zu erreichen. In [1, 2] wird auf der Basis einer dort beschriebenen neuartigen Elementarzelle vorgeschlagen, die Almenstreifenaufbiegung als Mittel zur Spezifikation der Verfestigung heranzuziehen. Dazu ist deren Simulation notwendig, welche sich mit der entwickelten Elementarzelle wirtschaftlich bewerkstelligen lässt. In der hier vorliegenden Veröffentlichung werden die der Elementarzelle zugrundeliegenden Finite-Elemente-Netze (FE-Netze) mithilfe von Einzelbe-schussversuchen validiert. Weiterhin wird eine ähnlichkeitsmechanische Betrachtung des Kugelstrahlprozesses zur vereinfachten Parametereinstellung vorgestellt.
Reibermüdung ist ein Phänomen, welches an den Kontakträndern von in Berührung ste-henden, kraftübertragenden Bauteilen beobachtet werden kann. Typische Maschinenele-mente, die in diesem Mode versagen können, sind z. B. die Schwalbenschwanzverbindung sowie ihre Ableger, die mehrzahnigen Tannenbaumfixierungen. In der Literatur beschrie-bene Untersuchungen weisen für Flachproben mit Reibbrücken ein Lebensdauerverhalten mit einem lokalen Minimum über der Anpresskraft der Reibbrücken aus. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht mithilfe des Sines-Ermüdungskriteriums, kombiniert mit Grenzwerten gemäß FKM-Richtlinie, ob ein solches Verhalten auch für die Schwalbenschwanzverbin-dung zutrifft. Im Gegensatz zur Reibbrückenanordnung mit separater Einleitung von kon-stanter Pressung und Längslastamplitude fluktuieren bei der Schwalbenschwanzverbin-dung die Anpresskraft und Zugkraft mit der einzigen am Hals eingeleiteten Last.
