Academic literature on the topic 'Dresden AIBM'

In Zeiten schnellen Wandels sind fachlicher Erfahrungsaustausch und stetige Fortbildung für die Personalentwicklung in Bibliotheken von essentieller Bedeutung. Als zentrales Forum im Bibliothekswesen dient der jährliche stattfindende Deutsche Bibliothekartag mit Vorträgen, Podiumsdiskussionen und Firmenausstellungen (siehe S. 104). Anforderungen spezieller Bibliothekstypen werden zudem im Rahmen kleinerer Fachtagungen aufgegriffen, die in der Regel durch entsprechende Berufsverbände oder Arbeitsgemeinschaften organisiert werden. Sie existieren zum Beispiel für Kunst- und Museumsbibliotheken, medizinische Einrichtungen oder Gefangenenbüchereien.

Wie in BIS 2/2009 bereits angekündigt, fand im vergangenen September die Jahrestagung 2009 der AIBM-Gruppe Deutschland in Dresden statt. Die in Paris gegründete Association Internationale des Bibliothèques Musicaux vereinigt alle Arten von Musikbibliotheken, -archiven und -dokumentationszentren wie z.B. Musikhochschulbibliotheken, kommunale Musikbibliotheken, Orchesterbibliotheken oder Rundfunkarchive. Die Vereinigung ist in 22 Ländergruppen weltweit organisiert, wodurch die Jahrestagung der deutschen Sektion neben dem im Vordergrund stehenden nationalen, stets auch dem internationalen Austausch der Kollegen aus musikbezogenen Spezialbibliotheken dient.

Who were the participants in the ‘Cosmic Round’ that made Schwabing a magical place around 1900? And what can the ‘Cosmics’ still tell us today? The contributions in this conference volume address these questions. Their aim is to revive research on the mystical tendencies of Munich's literary topography at the turn of the century. The topics of inquiry include Karl Wolfskehl‘s poems and Stefan George’s social circle, Ludwig Derleth's secret writing system, Ludwig Klages’ themes and the reflections on group dispositives of the Munich bohemian world. The contexts of the mystical Schwabing, where the Kosmik was born, where Stefan George met the god Maximin, Albert von Schrenck-Notzing carried out his séance experiments and the Countess von Reventlow received her guests, are invocations of a literarily and artistically intertwined occultism. This anthology sets out to reevaluate this field, not least to encourage further academic interest. With contributions by Alina Boy, Marco Castellari, Gloria Colombo, Peter Czoik, Nastasja Dresler, Richard Faber, Jonas Meurer, Heinz-Peter Preußer, Gabriele von Bassermann, Viktoria Walter and Kay Wolfinger

Uptake of possible beneficial assistive technology is presently hampered by ethical concerns. It is important to examine the ethical issues raised by distinct types of existing technologies in more detail than has been done previously to obtain a nuanced judgment as to whether public health authorities and healthcare personnel should inform patients and interested stakeholders about them, offer patients and their informal caregivers more choice concerning the use of available assistive technologies, or even actively recommend some of them. The present chapter will focus on four examples of assistive technologies that, despite having been available for some time and being relatively simple to use, are not widely implemented: memory aid technology, “smart dresser” devices designed to help dementia patients with getting dressed, GPS tracking devices, and sensors to monitor patients in their private homes such as an intelligent wireless sensor system for the rapid detection of health issues. The first two technologies are chosen as examples for “aid” technology where the risk of harm is very low compared to significant benefits for patients, caregivers, and society. The second two are chosen because of their ethically relevant characteristics of control: their aim is patient surveillance and monitoring. The ethical issues related to these technologies will be discussed and conclusions drawn on how to appropriately balance beneficence and respect for patient autonomy.

The research project "COVID 19 LL Lessons Learned", funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF), aims to identify successful solutions and measures that emerged in three different German regions through a systematic analysis during the pandemic. The regions under consideration are Bavaria (TU Munich), North Rhine-Westphalia (RWTH Aachen) and Saxony (TU Dresden). The aim of the project is to identify the problems that companies and organisations are facing and what they have learned from the change process so far. In this way, it is to be determined whether innovative and digital forms of work that have emerged as a result of the pandemic can provide positive impulses that can prove their worth in the working world in the medium and long term. One of the issues under consideration is the change in competence requirements due to the pandemic-related change in work organisation. The following human-technology-organisation process model was used for the project work.

Predatory publishers and journals aim to make as much money as possible from researchers using the author-pays publishing model. Though most claim to manage a proper peer review, the practice of rejecting papers for publication is contrary to their business model of maximizing revenue through author fees. Accordingly, predatory publishers frequently accept and publish articles presenting pseudo-science dressed up as legitimate research. This chapter analyzes the increasing occurrence of pseudo-science being published in predatory open-access journals.

The aim of this chapter is to identify whether frontline employees perceived themselves as having feelings of sexism, ageism, and appearance discrimination against customers in retail services. This investigation is a quantitative research, a conclusive description (Gil, 2002), and ex post facto study, which utilises a survey to collect the data and sampling by convenience. Three protocols are used (1) to format the questionnaire, (2) to produce 12 different standards combining age, gender, and appearance, and (3) to create social classification (Rattam, 1998). In a previous study (Palmeira, Palmeira, & Santos, 2012), customers of different ages and genders perceived some degree of prejudice and discrimination in face-to-face retail services. Now, on the other side of the coin, frontline employees who work in Fashion and Food retailing recognise that there is prejudiced behaviour against customers, depending on their age, gender, and appearance, when providing them with face-to-face retail services. More than 95% of female and more than 64% of male attendants believe that well-dressed, young female customers are given priority when being served. Almost 80% of female and only 58% of male frontline workers believe that badly-dressed middle-aged men (not younger men) are the last to be served when there is no clear queuing process in the retail spatial area. This context strongly suggests the growing importance of an interpersonal skills training process for an organisations' staff as a way of avoiding behaviour that makes the customers think that there are prejudice and discrimination in the service process, as well as ASL development (T&D against Ageism, Sexism, and Lookism) being part of the strategic statements.

About 30 million people suffer from a rare disease in Europe. Those affected face a variety of problems. These include the lack of information and difficult access to scientific knowledge for physicians. For a higher visibility of rare diseases and high-quality research, effective documentation and use of data are essential. The aim of this work is to optimize the processing, use and accessibility of data on rare diseases and thus increase the added value from existing information. While dashboards are already being used to visualize clinical data, it is unclear what requirements are prevalent for rare diseases and how these can be implemented with available development tools so that a highly accepted dashboard can be designed. For this purpose, based on an analysis of the current situation and a requirements analysis, a prototype dashboard for the visualization of up-to-date key figures on rare diseases was developed at the University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus in Dresden. The development was based on the user-centered design process in order to achieve a high-level user-friendliness. The requirements analysis identified parameters that stakeholders wanted to see, focusing primarily on statistical analyses. The dashboard handles the automated calculation of statistics as well as their preparation and provision. The evaluations showed the prototypical dashboard would be considered valuable and used by potential users. This work demonstrates that stakeholders are interested in access to prepared information and exemplifies a way to implement it. The dashboard can increase the usage of existing information in terms of a higher accessibility and thus improve the knowledge about rare diseases.

Multi-scale evaluation of microscopic grit protrusion topography on dressed wheel surface was conducted with reference to diamond grit protrusion height, its distribution coefficient, active grit protrusion number, grit pull-out number and protrusion fractal dimension. The aim is to evaluate dressing performance of diamond grinding wheel by the use of grit protrusion topography. First, dressing experiments of metal-bonded #40, #80 and #120 diamond grinding wheels were conducted with reference to different dressing parameters such as the depth of cut and moving speed. Second, grit protrusion height was measured and its distribution coefficient was analyzed. Then, the microscopic observation of grit protrusion feature was conducted to evaluate dressing results. Finally, fractal dimension was employed to analyze cutting edge integrality of diamond grit protrusion. The experimental results and theoretical analyses showed that average protrusion height is about 1/3 of diamond grit size and mainly depends on the depth of cut. The distribution coefficient of protrusion height can be used to evaluate the trimness of grit protrusion heights and active grit number. In addition, the fractal dimension of grit protrusion shape can display grit cutting edge integrity and its crack feature, namely the less fractal dimension, the better grit protrusion integrity and the better dressing result.

World-wide activities focus on the remediation of radioactively contaminated sites. One common aim is to deliver a more profound chemical base for risk assessment, namely all those physico-chemical phenomena governing the contamination plume development in time and space. Coupled transport codes able to tackle this challenge have to simplify the resulting very complex reaction pattern. To do so in an adequate way requires extending the knowledge about retardation and mobilisation phenomena and the underlying basic processes and interactions (e.g. physisorption, chemisorption, surface precipitation). Interactions at the solid-liquid interface can be described by complementary approaches, the empirical Kd concept and the mechanistic Surface Complexation Models (SCM). Kd’s are used by most reactive transport and risk assessment codes due to the straightforward numerics involved. In addition, the Kd concept is often the only feasible option for complex solid phases. However, the Kd concept is a rather simplistic approach. Many very different basic physico-chemical phenomena are subsumed in just one conditional parameter. Therefore, extrapolating Kd values may yield very large uncertainties. SCM account adsorption of ions on surface sites as complexation reaction comparable to complexation in solution. The electrical charge at the surface is determined by the chemical reactions of the mineral functional groups, including acid-base reactions and formation of ion pairs and coordinative complexes. The required parameters are site-independent and applicable despite large variations in geochemical conditions. This presents a high potential to increase confidence in safety analysis and risk assessment studies (performance assessment). The mechanistic description of sorption processes with SCM allows a thermodynamically consistent calculation of the species distribution between liquid and solid phase combined with more reliable inter- and extrapolations. However, this requires that all mineral constituents of the solid phase are characterized. Another issue is the large number of required parameters combined with time-consuming iterations. Addressing both approaches, we present two sorption databases, developed mainly by or under participation of the Forschungszentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (FZD). Both databases are implemented as relational databases, assist identification of critical data gaps and the evaluation of existing parameter sets, provide web based data search and analyses and permit the comparison of SCM predictions with Kd values. RES3T (Rossendorf Expert System for Surface and Sorption Thermodynamics) is a digitized thermodynamic sorption database (see www.fzd.de/db/RES3T.login) and free of charge. It is mineral-specific and can therefore also be used for additive models of more complex solid phases. ISDA (Integrated Sorption Database System) connects SCM with the Kd concept but focuses on conventional Kd. The integrated datasets are accessible through a unified user interface. An application case, Kd values in Performance Assessment, is given.
