Moralische Resilienz stärken
(2023)
Diese Arbeit beschreibt ein Referenzsystem,
welches die Trajektorie eines Modellfahrzeugs mithilfe einer
Deckenkamera ermittelt.
Hierbei wird die Position eines Fahrzeugs durch die Kombination
von mehreren Bildverarbeitungsverfahren bestimmt.
Anschließend erfolgt die Verbesserung der Messdaten sowie die
Schätzung von nicht direkt messbaren Größen mithilfe eines
Partikelfilters. Die abschließende Zuordnung der Referenzinformationen
zu den On-Board-Messwerten wird durch eine
Zeitsynchronisation zwischen Fahrzeug und Referenzsystem
ermöglicht.
Das entwickelte System stellt somit eine hochgenaue Vergleichsbasis
für die Validation und die Abschätzung der
Genauigkeit von Lokalisationsverfahren bereit und erleichtert
daher die Entwicklung autonomer Fahralgorithmen.

Für das autonome Fahren ist es notwendig, Verfahren zu entwickeln, die in der Lage sind, die Position und die Orientierung von Objekten zu ermitteln. Eine große Herausforderung ist die Zuordnung der durch Sensoren erfassten Messpunkten zu Objekten und die notwendige Validierung dieser Daten. In diesem Beitrag wird die Datenassoziation von Messpunkten zu einem Objekt mittels Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) untersucht. Hierbei wird ein Neuronales Netz verwendet, welches die Zuordnung der Messpunkte zu einem bestimmten Objekt übernimmt oder diese als Rauschen deklariert. Es wird untersucht wie sich die Performance von Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)-Layern gegenüber Dense-Layern für diesen Einsatz-Zweck verhält. Die verwendeten Daten werden mittels einer 2D-Simulation erzeugt. Der Output des Neuronalen Netzes wird verwendet, um die Trajektorien mehrerer Objekte zu erfassen und deren zukünftige Bewegung durch einen Kalman-Filter vorherzusagen.
Our current mobility paradigm increasingly faces economic, ecological, and social limits in urban areas. The aim of this paper is to analyse if a fleet of shared autonomous electric vehicles (AEVs) can meet these challenges while satisfying the current requirements of privately-owned internal combustion engine vehicles (ICEVs). Therefore, analytical models have been developed to simulate and investigate the impacts of mobility behaviour in Berlin and Stuttgart (Germany). The collected data were used to calculate the fleet size, the energy consumption, the emission of particulate matter, nitrogen oxides, and the carbon footprint of different shared AEVs in comparison with privately owned ICEVs. The approach shows that the system of a shared AEV fleet could lower externalities (accident avoidance, traffic jams, free spaces, parking costs and lifetime losses) in cities and generate cost benefits for customers.

Hintergrund
Die Prävalenz von Mangelernährung im Krankenhaus ist hoch und wird in der Praxis noch häufig unterschätzt. Im Rahmen eines vom BMBF finanzierten Projektes soll diesem Problem mithilfe von Praxiskonzepten mit präventiven und kurativen Maßnahmen für die Zielgruppe geriatrischer Patient*innen begegnet werden.
Methodik
Zur Bestimmung der Ausgangslage hinsichtlich des Ernährungsmanagements und Feststellung der aktuellen Prävalenz von Mangelernährung in zwei Stuttgarter Kliniken wurden im Rahmen des nutritionDays® spezifische Daten erhoben und mit dem Schwerpunkt auf die Zielgruppe ältere Patient*innen ausgewertet.
Ergebnisse
Von 99 eingeschlossenen Patient*innen weisen 39,4% (n=39) ein Risiko für eine Mangelernährung auf, 41 Patient*innen (41,1 %) berichten von einem ungewollten Gewichtsverlust. Der Gewichtsverlust beträgt im Mittel 6,1 kg (SD 3,8) oder 9,7% (SD 5,1) des Körpergewichtes. Nur 19,4% (n=7) der Mangelernährten erhalten eine ernährungsmedizinische Intervention. Es zeigt sich für die Gruppe mit einem hohen Mangelernährungsrisiko ein verlängerter Klinikaufenthalt von 2,1 Tagen (nicht signifikant), ein signifikant geringerer BMI (-4,3 kg/m²; p=0,001), größerer Gewichtsverlust (-12,5% vs. -3,7%; p=0,001) sowie Gewichtsveränderungen in den letzten 5 Jahren (-7,6% vs.+1,2%; p=0,004). Der ungewollte Gewichtsverlust korreliert signifikant mit der Anzahl unterschiedlicher Medikamente (rs=0,397; p=0,029) und einer verringerten Nahrungsaufnahme in der Woche vor Klinikeinweisung (rs=-0,533; p=0,003).
Schlussfolgerung
Die hohe Prävalenz von Mangelernährung unter den älteren Patient*innen bei gleichzeitig ausbleibender Identifikation der Betroffenen führt zu einer unzureichenden Behandlung der Mangelernährung. Diese Defizite lassen sich mithilfe von nutritionDay® Erhebungen deutlich aufzeigen.
Diese Arbeit befasst sich mit der Entwicklung einer kamerabasierten Verkehrszeichenerkennung für ein autonom fahrendes Fahrzeug.
Dabei wird das neuronale Netz SSD-MobileNet-V1 verwendet, dessen Training ausschließlich mit virtuellen Trainingsdaten erfolgt. Zur Validierung wird ein autonom fahrendes Modellfahrzeug verwendet. Um die Verkehrszeichenerkennung auf dem Modellfahrzeug integrieren zu können, wird sie in Form eines ROS-Nodes implementiert, welcher außerdem die notwendige Vorverarbeitung der Kamerabilder sowie die Plausibilisierung der erkannten Verkehrszeichen beinhaltet. Es folgt die Integration der Verkehrszeichenerkennung in das Modellfahrzeug, wo sie auf einem NVIDIA Jetson TX2-Board ausgeführt wird.
Die entwickelte Verkehrszeichenerkennung ist in der Lage, 15 der 17 trainierten Verkehrszeichen zuverlässig zu erkennen und kann auf dem NVIDIA Jetson TX2-Board mit ausreichender Performance ausgeführt werden.
Hot isostatic pressing can be utilized to reduce the anisotropic mechanical properties of Al–Si–Mg alloys fabricated by laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF). The implementation of post processing densification processes can open up new fields of application by meeting high quality requirements defined by aircraft and automotive industries. A gas pressure of 75 MPa during hot isostatic pressing lowers the critical cooling rate required to achieve a supersaturated solid solution. Direct aging uses this pressure related effect during heat treatment in modern hot isostatic presses, which offer advanced cooling capabilities, thereby avoiding the necessity of a separate solution annealing step for Al–Si–Mg cast alloys. Hot isostatic pressing, followed by rapid quenching, was applied to both sand cast as well as laser powder-bed fused Al–Si–Mg aluminum alloys. It was shown that the critical cooling rate required to achieve a supersaturated solid solution is significantly higher for additively manufactured, age-hardenable aluminum alloys than it is for comparable sand cast material. The application of hot isostatic pressing can be combined with heat treatment, consisting of solution annealing, quenching and direct aging, in order to achieve both a dense material with a small number of preferred locations for the initiation of fatigue cracks and a high material strength.

A matter of reality

Due to the increasing relevance of data, more and more data from various sources is accumulated for a variety of purposes. At the same time, however, there is a shortage of data in areas where it is urgently needed. Particularly in the field of machine learning, there is a lack of good and usable training data. Therefore, this research paper is concerned with the virtual data acquisition for the training of neural networks. For this purpose, first an application was developed that aims to generate virtual, automatically labeled data. Subsequently, a neural network was trained on the generated virtual data and tested on real data.
Laser powder-bed fusion (LPBF) has significantly gained in importance and has become one of the major fabrication techniques within metal additive manufacturing. The fast cooling rates achieved in LPBF due to a relatively small melt pool on a much larger component or substrate, acting as heat sink, result in fine-grained microstructures and high oversaturation of alloying elements in the α-aluminum. Al-Si-Mg alloys thus can be effectively precipitation hardened. Moreover, the solidified material undergoes an intrinsic heat treatment, whilst the layers above are irradiated and the elevated temperature in the built chamber starts the clustering process of alloying elements directly after a scan track is fabricated. These silicon-magnesium clusters were observed with atom probe tomography in as-built samples. Similar beneficial clustering behavior at higher temperatures is known from the direct-aging approach in cast samples, whereby the artificial aging is performed immediately after solution annealing and quenching. Transferring this approach to LPBF samples as a possible post-heat treatment revealed that even after direct aging, the outstanding hardness of the as-built condition could, at best, be met, but for most instances it was significantly lower. Our investigations showed that LPBF Al-Si-Mg exhibited a high dependency on the quenching rate, which is significantly more pronounced than in cast reference samples, requiring two to three times higher quenching rate after solution annealing to yield similar hardness results. This suggests that due to the finer microstructure and the shorter diffusion path in Al-Si-Mg fabricated by LPBF, it is more challenging to achieve a metastable oversaturation necessary for precipitation hardening. This may be especially problematic in larger components.
Laser powder bed fusion has become one of the major techniques within metal additive manufacturing, especially when delicate structures and high geometric accuracy are concerned. Lately, the awareness of the material-specific macroscopic anisotropy has risen and led to widespread investigations on the static mechanical strength. However, little is known about the fracture behavior of the layer-wise fabricated metal components and their affinity of crack propagation between consecutive layers, which is particularly important for aluminium–silicon alloys containing embrittled zones in double-irradiated areas. A recent study indicated that there is a significant drop in fracture toughness in case the crack growth direction is parallel to the layering. To investigate this matter further and to shed light on the fracture toughness behavior in the range of a 0°–45° angle offset between the crack growth direction relative to the layering, notched samples with varying polar angles were subjected to mode I fracture toughness testing. Our results indicate that the fracture toughness is an almost-stable characteristic up to a mismatch of about 20° between the crack propagation path and the layering, at which point the fracture toughness decreases by up to 10%.

A number of planetary boundaries, including climate change as a result of greenhouse gas emissions, has already been exceeded. This situation has deleterious consequences for public health. Paradoxically, 4.4% of these emissions are attributable to the healthcare sector. These problems have not been sufficiently acknowledged in health professions curricula. This paper addresses two main issues, humanistic learning and the application of knowledge acquisition to clinical practice. Humanistic learning principles can be used to emphasize learner-centered approaches, including knowledge acquisition and reflection to increase self-awareness. Applying humanistic principles in everyday life and clinical practice can encourage stewardship, assisting students to become agents for change. In terms of knowledge and skills application to clinical practice, an overview of varied and novel approaches of how sustainable education can be integrated at different stages of training across several health care professions is provided. The Health and Environment Adaptive Response Taskforce (HEART) platform as an example of creating empowered learners, the NurSusTOOLKIT, a multi-disciplinary collaboration offering free adaptable educational resources for educators and the Greener Anaesthesia and Sustainability Project (GASP), an example of bridging the transition to clinical practice, are described.
The aim of the current work was to illustrate the effect of the fibre area correction factor on the results of modelling natural fibre-reinforced composites. A mesoscopic approach is adopted to represent the stochastic heterogeneity of the composite, i.e. a meso-structural numerical model was prototyped using the finite element method including quasi-unidirectional discrete fibre elements embedded in a matrix. The model was verified by the experimental results from previous work on jute fibres but is extendable to every natural fibre with cross-sectional non-uniformity. A correction factor was suggested to fine-tune both the analytical and numerical models. Moreover, a model updating technique for considering the size-effect of fibres is introduced and its implementation was automated by means of FORTRAN subroutines and Python scripts. It was shown that correcting and updating the fibre strength is critical to obtain accurate macroscopic response of the composite when discrete modelling of fibres is intended. Based on the current study, it is found that consideration of the effect of flaws on the strength of natural fibres and inclusion of the fibre area correction factor are crucial to obtain realistic results.
Herein, the general constitutive equation of bi-phasic materials equipped with orientation tensor is presented in direct notation. The formulation is refined by some correction factors specific to natural fibre-reinforced composites; then, a planar case is derived. The necessity of local information is emphasised through the introduction of auxiliary maps, which included volume fraction and orientation data. A semi-analytical homogenisation method is introduced through finite element analysis. Auxiliary maps are shown to be a better alternative to the overall orientation of fibres. Global calculations are insensitive to local variations whilst appropriate auxiliary maps offer refined results. Considering the multidisciplinary application of orientation tensors, the proposed scheme can be used in all areas where local information cannot be disregarded.

Diese Arbeit beschreibt die Aufstellung einer Trajektorie für ein autonomes Fahrzeug. Als Basis dient eine Vorarbeit, bei der ein neuronales Netz das Bild einer Frontkamera eines Autos in Fahrspur und Nicht-Fahrspur segmentiert. Darauf aufbauend wird das Bild zunächst in die Vogelperspektive transformiert. Anschließend folgen eine Detektion der Fahrspurkanten sowie ein Clustering-Verfahren, um linke und rechte Kantenabschnitte zu separieren. Weiter wird die Trajektorie diskret in Form von Parametern des Kreisbogenmodells aufgenommen. Die Prädiktion dieser Parameter erfolgt mittels eines Extended Kalman-Filters. Die abschließende Validierung der Algorithmen erfolgt durch eine synthetisch generierte Fahrspur.

Slips and stumbles are main causes of falls and result in serious injuries. Balance training is widely applied for preventing falls across the lifespan. Subdivided into two main intervention types, biomechanical characteristics differ amongst balance interventions tailored to counteract falls: conventional balance training (CBT) referring to a balance task with a static ledger pivoting around the ankle joint versus reactive balance training (RBT) using externally applied perturbations to deteriorate body equilibrium. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of reactive, slip-simulating RBT compared to CBT in regard to fall prevention and to detect neuromuscular and kinematic dependencies. In a randomized controlled trial, 38 participants were randomly allocated either to CBT or RBT. To simulate stumbling scenarios, postural responses were assessed to posterior translations in gait and stance perturbation before and after 4 weeks of training. Surface electromyography during short- (SLR), medium- (MLR), and long-latency response of shank and thigh muscles as well as ankle, knee, and hip joint kinematics (amplitudes and velocities) were recorded. Both training modalities revealed reduced angular velocity in the ankle joint (P < 0.05) accompanied by increased shank muscle activity in SLR (P < 0.05) during marching in place perturbation. During stance perturbation and marching in place perturbation, hip angular velocity was decreased after RBT (P from TTEST, Pt < 0.05) accompanied by enhanced thigh muscle activity (SLR, MLR) after both trainings (P < 0.05). Effect sizes were larger for the RBT-group during stance perturbation. Thus, both interventions revealed modified stabilization strategies for reactive balance recovery after surface translations. Characterized by enhanced reflex activity in the leg muscles antagonizing the surface translations, balance training is associated with improved neuromuscular timing and accuracy being relevant for postural control. This may result in more efficient segmental stabilization during fall risk situations, independent of the intervention modality. More pronounced modulations and higher effect sizes after RBT in stance perturbation point toward specificity of training adaptations, with an emphasis on the proximal body segment for RBT. Outcomes underline the benefits of balance training with a clear distinction between RBT and CBT being relevant for training application over the lifespan.
