The German Corona Consensus (GECCO) established a uniform dataset in FHIR format for exchanging and sharing interoperable COVID-19 patient specific data between health information systems (HIS) for universities. For sharing the COVID-19 information with other locations that use openEHR, the data are to be converted in FHIR format. In this paper, we introduce our solution through a web-tool named “openEHR-to-FHIR” that converts compositions from an openEHR repository and stores in their respective GECCO FHIR profiles. The tool provides a REST web service for ad hoc conversion of openEHR compositions to FHIR profiles.
This research focuses on the fundamental ideas and underlying principles of E-Learning technology, as well as theoretical considerations for an optimal learning environment. This theoretical exploration was then used as a basis for the design and construction of a new, interactive Web-Based ESH-Training. The quality and effectiveness of this new course was then compared with that of the existing analog PDF-Training via a test with a diverse sample of employee learners. Learners were later surveyed to ascertain their views on both trainings in terms of the quality of the content, facilitator, resources, and length. Results clearly showed that regardless of demographic factors, most employee learners preferred the new, Web-Based ESH-Training to the analog PDF-Training.
Introduction
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a common inflammatory skin disease. Many patients are initiating a systemic therapy, if the disease is not adequately controlled with topical treatment only. Currently, there is little real-world evidence on the AD-related medical care situation in Germany. This study analyzed patient characteristics, treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization and costs associated with systemically treated AD for the German healthcare system.
Methods
In this descriptive, retrospective cohort study, aggregated anonymized German health claims data from the InGef research database were used. Within a representative sample of four million insured individuals, patients with AD and systemic drug therapy initiation (SDTI) in the index year 2017 were identified and included into the study cohort. Systemic drug therapy included dupilumab, systemic corticosteroids (SCS) and systemic immunosuppressants (SIS). Patients were observed for one year starting from the date of SDTI in 2017.
Results
9975 patients were included (57.8% female, mean age 39.6 years [SD 25.5]). In the one-year observation period, the most common systemic drug therapy was SCS (> 99.0%). Administrations of dupilumab (0.3%) or dispensations of SIS were rare (cyclosporine: 0.5%, azathioprine: 0.6%, methotrexate: 0.1%). Median treatment duration of SCS, cyclosporine and azathioprine was 27 days, 102 days, and 109 days, respectively. 2.8% of the patients received phototherapy; 41.6% used topical corticosteroids and/or topical calcineurin inhibitor. Average annual costs for medications amounted to € 1237 per patient. Outpatient services were used by 99.6% with associated mean annual costs of € 943; 25.4% had at least one hospitalization (mean annual costs: € 5836). 5.3% of adult patients received sickness benefits with associated mean annual costs of € 5026.
Conclusions
Despite unfavorable risk–benefit profile, this study demonstrated a common treatment with SCS, whereas other systemic drug therapy options were rarely used. Furthermore, the results suggest a substantial economic burden for patients with AD and SDTI.
Background and Objectives:
Drawing causal conclusions from real-world data (RWD) poses methodological challenges and risk of bias. We aimed to systematically assess the type and impact of potential biases that may occur when analyzing RWD using the case of progressive ovarian cancer.
Methods:
We retrospectively compared overall survival with and without second-line chemotherapy (LOT2) using electronic medical records. Potential biases were determined using directed acyclic graphs. We followed a stepwise analytic approach ranging from crude analysis and multivariable-adjusted Cox model up to a full causal analysis using a marginal structural Cox model with replicates emulating a reference randomized controlled trial (RCT). To assess biases, we compared effect estimates (hazard ratios [HRs]) of each approach to the
HR of the reference trial.
Results:
The reference trial showed an HR for second line vs. delayed therapy of 1.01 (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.82e1.25). The corresponding HRs from the RWD analysis ranged from 0.51 for simple baseline adjustments to 1.41 (95% CI: 1.22e1.64) accounting for immortal time bias with time-varying covariates. Causal trial emulation yielded an HR of 1.12 (95% CI: 0.96e1.28).
Conclusion:
Our study, using ovarian cancer as an example, shows the importance of a thorough causal design and analysis if one is expecting RWD to emulate clinical trial results.
Aim
Musculoskeletal disorders are a major public health problem in most developed countries. As a main cause of chronic pain, they have resulted in an increasing prescription of opioids worldwide. With regard to the situation in Germany, this study aimed at estimating the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases such as chronic low back pain (CLBP) and hip/knee osteoarthritis (OA) and at depicting the applied treatment patterns.
Subject and methods
German claims data from the InGef Research Database were analyzed over a 6-year period (2011–2016). The dataset contains over 4 million people, enrolled in German statutory health insurances. Inpatient and outpatient diagnoses were considered for case identification of hip/knee OA and CLBP. The World Health Organization (WHO) analgesic ladder was applied to categorize patients according to their pain management interventions. Information on demographics, comorbidities, and adjuvant medication was collected.
Results
In 2016, n = 2,693,481 individuals (50.5% female, 49.5% male) were assigned to the study population; 62.5% of them were aged 18–60 years. In 2016, n = 146,443 patients (5.4%) with CLBP and n = 307,256 patients (11.4%) with hip/knee OA were identified. Of those with pre-specified pain management interventions (CLBP: 66.3%; hip/knee OA: 65.1%), most patients received WHO I class drugs (CLBP: 73.6%; hip/knee OA: 68.7%) as the highest level.
Conclusion
This study provides indications that CLBP and hip/knee OA are common chronic pain conditions in Germany, which are often subjected to pharmacological pain management. Compared to non-opioid analgesic prescriptions of the WHO I class, the dispensation of WHO class II and III opioids was markedly lower, though present to a considerable extent.
Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit ist es Empfehlungen für eine Neukonzeption zur Förderung von Informationskompetenzen an Spezialbibliotheken mit der Hauptzielgruppe Wissenschaftler*innen am Beispiel der Forschungsbibliothek des Leibniz-Institut für Bildungsmedien | Georg-Eckert-Instituts (GEI) unter Berücksichtigung der Wissenskulturen zu formulieren.
Es wird festgestellt, dass die lebenslange Weiterbildung der Informationskompetenz bei Wissenschaftler*innen unabdingbar ist und im Einklang mit der Steigerung der Forschungsproduktivität steht. Trotz dieser Erkenntnisse gibt es in der Fachliteratur bisher kaum nennenswerte Konzepte zur Förderung der Informationskompetenz der Forschenden in Spezialbibliotheken. Mit Hilfe der wissenskulturellen Analyse, basierend auf den Ansätzen der KIBA-Gruppe zu Informationsdidaktik und der Wissenskulturen von Karin Knorr-Cetina, wird ein Interview-Leitfaden entwickelt, mit Hilfe dessen bei 10 Mitarbeitenden des GEI eine Analyse der Wissenskultur und der Bedürfnisse durchgeführt wird. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass für die Förderung von Informationskompetenz ein ganzheitliches Konzept benötigt wird, welches sich nicht nur ausschließlich auf reine Schulungen beschränkt. Es sind verschiedene Formate notwendig, um die individuellen Bedürfnisse der Forschenden abzudecken. Besonders virtuelle Angebote sollen integriert werden. Die Ergebnisse lassen sich allerdings nicht auf andere Spezialbibliotheken deckungsgleich übertragen. Die wissenskulturelle Analyse kann jedoch als Grundlage angewendet werden, um auch in anderen Spezialbibliotheken ein neues Konzept zur Förderung der Informationskompetenz bei Wissenschaftler*innen zu entwickeln.
FID Civil Engineering, Architecture and Urbanism digital - A platform for science (BAUdigital)
(2022)
University Library Braunschweig (UB Braunschweig), University and State Library Darmstadt (ULB Darmstadt), TIB – Leibniz Information Centre for Technology and Natural Sciences and the Fraunhofer Information Centre for Planning and Building (Fraunhofer IRB) are jointly establishing a specialised information service (FID, "Fachinformationsdienst") for the disciplines of civil engineering, architecture and urbanism. The FID BAUdigital, which is funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG, "Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft"), will provide researchers working on digital design, planning and production methods in construction engineering with a joint information, networking and data exchange platform and support them with innovative services for documentation, archiving and publication in their data-based research.
Wikidata and Wikibase as complementary research data management services for cultural heritage data
(2022)
The NFDI (German National Research Data Infrastructure) consortia are associations of various institutions within a specific research field, which work together to develop common data infrastructures, guidelines, best practices and tools that conform to the principles of FAIR data. Within the NFDI, a common question is: What is the potential of Wikidata to be used as an application for science and research? In this paper, we address this question by tracing current research usecases and applications for Wikidata, its relation to standalone Wikibase instances, and how the two can function as complementary services to meet a range of research needs. This paper builds on lessons learned through the development of open data projects and software services within the Open Science Lab at TIB, Hannover, in the context of NFDI4Culture – the consortium including participants across the broad spectrum of the digital libraries, archives, and museums field, and the digital humanities.
A new FOSS (free and open source software) toolchain and associated workflow is being developed in the context of NFDI4Culture, a German consortium of research- and cultural heritage institutions working towards a shared infrastructure for research data that meets the needs of 21st century data creators, maintainers and end users across the broad spectrum of the digital libraries and archives field, and the digital humanities. This short paper and demo present how the integrated toolchain connects: 1) OpenRefine - for data reconciliation and batch upload; 2) Wikibase - for linked open data (LOD) storage; and 3) Kompakkt - for rendering and annotating 3D models. The presentation is aimed at librarians, digital curators and data managers interested in learning how to manage research datasets containing 3D media, and how to make them available within an open data environment with 3D-rendering and collaborative annotation features.
A semiparametric approach for meta-analysis of diagnostic accuracy studies with multiple cut-offs
(2022)
The accuracy of a diagnostic test is often expressed using a pair of measures: sensitivity (proportion of test positives among all individuals with target condition) and specificity (proportion of test negatives among all individuals without targetcondition). If the outcome of a diagnostic test is binary, results from different studies can easily be summarized in a meta-analysis. However, if the diagnostic test is based on a discrete or continuous measure (e.g., a biomarker), several cut-offs within one study as well as among different studies are published. Instead of taking all information of the cut-offs into account in the meta-analysis, a single cut-off per study is often selected arbitrarily for the analysis, even though there are statistical methods for the incorporation of several cut-offs. For these methods, distributional assumptions have to be met and/or the models may not converge when specific data structures occur. We propose a semiparametric approach to overcome both problems. Our simulation study shows that the diagnostic accuracy is underestimated, although this underestimation in sensitivity and specificity is relatively small. The comparative approach of Steinhauser et al. is better in terms of coverage probability, but may lead to convergence problems. In addition to the simulation results, we illustrate the application of the semiparametric approach using a published meta-analysis for a diagnostic test differentiating between bacterial and viral meningitis in children.
Objective
Cyberknife robotic radiosurgery (RRS) provides single-session high-dose radiotherapy of brain tumors with a steep dose gradient and precise real-time image-guided motion correction. Although RRS appears to cause more radiation necrosis (RN), the radiometabolic changes after RRS have not been fully clarified. 18F-FET-PET/CT is used to differentiate recurrent tumor (RT) from RN after radiosurgery when MRI findings are indecisive. We explored the usefulness of dynamic parameters derived from 18F-FET PET in differentiating RT from RN after Cyberknife treatment in a single-center study population.
Methods
We retrospectively identified brain tumor patients with static and dynamic 18F-FET-PET/CT for suspected RN after Cyberknife. Static (tumor-to-background ratio) and dynamic PET parameters (time-activity curve, time-to-peak) were quantified. Analyses were performed for all lesions taken together (TOTAL) and for brain metastases only (METS). Diagnostic accuracy of PET parameters (using mean tumor-to-background ratio >1.95 and time-to-peak of 20 min for RT as cut-offs) and their respective improvement of diagnostic probability were analyzed.
Results
Fourteen patients with 28 brain tumors were included in quantitative analysis. Time-activity curves alone provided the highest sensitivities (TOTAL: 95%, METS: 100%) at the cost of specificity (TOTAL: 50%, METS: 57%). Combined mean tumor-to-background ratio and time-activity curve had the highest specificities (TOTAL: 63%, METS: 71%) and led to the highest increase in diagnosis probability of up to 16% p. – versus 5% p. when only static parameters were used.
Conclusions
This preliminary study shows that combined dynamic and static 18F-FET PET/CT parameters can be used in differentiating RT from RN after RRS.
Aim:
The most suitable method for assessment of response to peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) of neuroendocrine tumors (NET) is still under debate. In this study we aimed to compare size (RECIST 1.1), density (Choi), Standardized Uptake Value (SUV) and a newly defined ZP combined parameter derived from Somatostatin Receptor (SSR) PET/CT for prediction of both response to PRRT and overall survival (OS).
Material and Methods:
Thirty-four NET patients with progressive disease (F:M 23:11; mean age 61.2 y; SD ± 12) treated with PRRT using either Lu-177 DOTATOC or Lu-177 DOTATATE and imaged with Ga-68 SSR PET/CT approximately 10–12 weeks prior to and after each treatment cycle were retrospectively analyzed. Median duration of follow-up after the first cycle was 63.9 months (range 6.2–86.2). A total of 77 lesions (2–8 per patient) were analyzed. Response assessment was performed according to RECIST 1.1, Choi and modified EORTC (MORE) criteria. In addition, a new parameter named ZP, the product of Hounsfield unit (HU) and SUVmean (Standard Uptake Value) of a tumor lesion, was tested. Further, SUV values (max and mean) of the tumor were normalized to SUV of normal liver parenchyma. Tumor response was defined as CR, PR, or SD. Gold standard for comparison of baseline parameters for prediction of response of individual target lesions to PRRT was change in size of lesions according to RECIST 1.1. For prediction of overall survival, the response after the first and second PRRT were tested.
Results:
Based on RECIST 1.1, Choi, MORE, and ZP, 85.3%, 64.7%, 61.8%, and 70.6% achieved a response whereas 14.7%, 35.3%, 38.2%, and 29.4% demonstrated PD (progressive disease), respectively. Baseline ZP and ZPnormalized were found to be the only parameters predictive of lesion progression after three PRRT cycles (AUC ZP 0.753; 95% CI 0.6–0.9, p 0.037; AUC ZPnormalized 0.766; 95% CI 0.6–0.9; p 0.029). Based on a cut-off-value of 1201, ZP achieved a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 67%, while ZPnormalized reached a sensitivity of 86% and a specificity of 76% at a cut-off-value of 198. Median OS in the total cohort was not reached. In univariate analysis amongst all parameters, only patients having progressive disease according to MORE after the second cycle of PRRT were found to have significantly shorter overall survival (median OS in objective responders not reached, in PD 29.2 months; p 0.015). Patients progressive after two cycles of PRRT according to ZP had shorter OS compared to those responding (median OS for responders not reached, for PD 47.2 months, p 0.066).
Conclusions:
In this explorative study, we showed that Choi, RECIST 1.1, and SUVmax-based response evaluation varied significantly from each other. Only patients showing progressive disease after two PRRT cycles according to MORE criteria had a worse prognosis while baseline ZP and
ZPnormalized performed best in predicting lesion progression after three cycles of PRRT.
Background
Symptoms of depression are prevalent in people living with human immune deficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (PLWHA), and worsened by lack of physical activity/exercises, leading to restriction in social participation/functioning. This raises the question: what is the extent to which physical exercise training affected, symptoms of depression, physical activity level (PAL) and social participation in PLWHA compared to other forms of intervention, usual care, or no treatment controls?
Method
Eight databases were searched up to July 2020, according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) protocol. Only randomised controlled trials involving adults who were either on HAART/HAART-naïve and reported in the English language, were included. Two independent reviewers determined the eligibility of the studies, extracted data, assessed their quality, and risk of bias using the Physiotherapy Evidence Database (PEDro) tool. Standardised mean difference (SMD) was used as summary statistics for the mean primary outcome (symptoms of depression) and secondary outcomes (PAL and social participation) since different measuring tools/units were used across the included studies. Summary estimates of effects were determined using a random-effects model (I2).
Results
Thirteen studies met the inclusion criteria with 779 participants (n = 596 participants at study completion) randomised into the study groups, comprising 378 males, 310 females and 91 participants with undisclosed gender, and with an age range of 18–86 years. Across the studies, aerobic or aerobic plus resistance exercises were performed 2–3 times/week, at 40–60 min/session, and for between 6-24 weeks, and the risk of bias vary from high to low. Comparing the intervention to control groups showed significant difference in the symptoms of depression (SMD = − 0.74, 95% confidence interval (CI) − 1.01, − 0.48, p ≤ 0.0002; I2 = 47%; 5 studies; 205 participants) unlike PAL (SMD = 0.98, 95% CI − 0.25, 2.17, p = 0.11; I2 = 82%; 2 studies; 62 participants) and social participation (SMD = 0.04, 95% CI − 0.65, 0.73, p = 0.91; I2 = 90%; 6 studies; 373 participants).
Conclusion
Physical exercise training could have an antidepressant-like effect in PLWHA but did not affect PAL and social participation. However, the high heterogeneity in the included studies, implies that adequately powered randomised controlled trials with clinical/methodological similarity are required in future studies.
Der Beitrag beschreibt die aktuellen Überlegungen zur Weiterentwicklung der informationswissenschaftlichen Studiengänge der Hochschule Hannover vor dem Hintergrund des laufenden Prozesses der Reakkreditierung. Zentrale Aspekte bilden hierbei die inhaltliche und strukturelle Weiterentwicklung des Curriculums vor dem Hintergrund der sich verändernden Bedürfnisse der Bibliotheken. Ebenfalls berücksichtigt werden verschiedene Formen der Kooperation mit der Bibliothekspraxis, hochschuldidaktische Überlegungen sowie die Einbindung der Studiengänge in die informationswissenschaftliche Forschungslandschaft.
Background: One of the major challenges in pediatric intensive care is the detection of life-threatening health conditions under acute time constraints and performance pressure. This includes the assessment of pediatric organ dysfunction (OD) that demands extraordinary clinical expertise and the clinician’s ability to derive a decision based on multiple information and data sources. Clinical decision support systems (CDSS) offer a solution to support medical staff in stressful routine work. Simultaneously, detection of OD by using computerized decision support approaches has been scarcely investigated, especially not in pediatrics.
Objectives: The aim of the study is to enhance an existing, interoperable, and rulebased CDSS prototype for tracing the progression of sepsis in critically ill children by augmenting it with the capability to detect SIRS/sepsis-associated hematologic OD, and to determine its diagnostic accuracy.
Methods: We reproduced an interoperable CDSS approach previously introduced by our working group: (1) a knowledge model was designed by following the commonKADS methodology, (2) routine care data was semantically standardized and harmonized using openEHR as clinical information standard, (3) rules were formulated and implemented in a business rule management system. Data from a prospective diagnostic study, including 168 patients, was used to estimate the diagnostic accuracy of the rule-based CDSS using the clinicians’ diagnoses as reference
Background: Upsurge in cardiopulmonary dysfunctions in Enugu, Nigeria, involved mainly cement workers, automobile spray painters, woodworkers, and Cleaners and was worsened in the dry season, suggesting the need for an occupation-specific characterization of the disease features and seasonal evaluation of air quality for prevention and management.
Methods: We conducted a randomized cross-sectional study of eighty consenting participants (in Achara Layout, Enugu), comprising 20 cement workers (39.50 ± 14.95 years), 20 automobile spray painters (40.75 ± 9.85 years), 20 woodworkers (52.20 ± 9.77 years), and 20 cleaners (42.30 ± 9.06 years). The air quality, some haematological (fibrinogen-Fc, and C-reactive protein-CRP), and cardiopulmonary parameters were measured and analyzed using ANCOVA, at p < 0.05.
Results: The dry season particulate matter (PM) in ambient air exceeded the WHO standards in the New layout [PM10 = 541.17 ± 258.72 µg/m3; PM2.5 = 72.92 ± 25.81 µg/m3] and the University campus [PM10 = 244 ± 74.79 µg/m3; PM2.5 = 30.33 ± 16.10 µg/m3], but the former was twice higher. The PM differed significantly (p < 0.05) across the sites. Forced expiratory volume at the first second (FEV1) (F = 6.128; p = 0.001), and Peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR) (F = 5.523; p = 0.002), differed significantly across the groups. FEV1/FVC% was < 70% in cement workers (55.33%) and woodworkers (61.79%), unlike, automobile spray painters (72.22%) and cleaners (70.66%). FEV1 and work duration were significantly and negatively related in cement workers (r = -0.46; r2 = 0.2116; p = 0.041 one-tailed). CRP (normal range ≤ 3.0 mg/L) and Fc (normal range—1.5–3.0 g/L) varied in cement workers (3.32 ± 0.93 mg/L versus 3.01 ± 0.85 g/L), automobile spray painters (2.90 ± 1.19 mg/L versus 2.54 ± 0.99 mg/L), woodworkers (2.79 ± 1.10 mg/L versus 2.37 ± 0.92 g/L) and cleaners (3.06 ± 0.82 mg/L versus 2.54 ± 0.70 g/L).
Conclusion(s): Poor air quality was evident at the study sites, especially in the dry season. Cement workers and automobile spray painters showed significant risks of obstructive pulmonary diseases while woodworkers had restrictive lung diseases. Cement workers and cleaners recorded the highest risk of coronary heart disease (CRP ≥ 3.0 mg/L). The similarity in Fc and CRP trends suggests a role for the inflammation-sensitive proteins in the determination of cardiovascular risk in cement workers and cleaners. Therefore, there are occupation-specific disease endpoints of public health concern that likewise warrant specific preventive and management approaches among the workers.
Ausführlicher Bericht/Beitrag zum Forschungsprojekt Grundsätze der Konzeptionsentwicklung und -lehre im modernen Kommunikationsmanagement an der Hochschule Hannover 2021/22.
Ziel des Beitrages ist die Verortung und Systematisierung von planerischen Prozessen innerhalb der externen Unternehmenskommunikation - also der Public Relations sowie die Diskussion des Verhältnisses von klassischen linearen vs. rekursiven „agilen“ Konzeptionierungstechniken im Kommunikationsmanagement.
Die zeitgenössische Überformung des fachwissenschaftlichen Diskurses im Feld der Public Relations von ursprünglich sozial- und kommunikationswissenschaftlicher Grundlegung hin zu einem betriebswirtschaftlichem Paradigma führt nicht nur zu einer heterogenen und inkonsistenten Verwendung zentraler Begrifflichkeiten wie „Strategie“, „Taktik“, „Konzept“ und „Ziele“ sondern verändert auch die Art, wie im Fachdiskurs Konzeptionstechniken und -lehre uneinheitlich in den Prozessen des Kommunikationsmanagement verankert und diskutiert werden.
In der Analyse historischer und aktueller Fachliteratur zum Thema zeigt sich, dass mehr oder weniger deutlich differenziert und zumeist implizit auf verschiedenen Ebenen des Kommunikationsmanagements planerische Prozesse (Strategien, Konzepte etc.) notwendig sind und eingefordert werden. Als vier grundsätzliche und differenzierbare Ebenen der Konzeptionspraxis wurden identifiziert: 1. Die kommunikative Gesamtstrategie, 2. PR-Rahmenkonzept, 3. PR-Programmplanung, 4. PR-Maßnahmenplanung. Diese Ebenen korrespondieren mit verschiedenen grundlegenden sozialwissenschaftlichen Modellen (Top-Ebene, Makro-, Meso- und Mikroebene nach Esser) und fachwissenschaftlichen Modellen (DPRG-Bezugsrahmen, Tätigkeitsbereiche der Unternehmenskommunikation u.a.).
Übergreifend wird herausgearbeitet, dass auf allen Ebenen die jeweilige Konzeptionspraxis auf die Vier-Phasen „Analyse“, „Zielstellung und Strategie“, „Aktion“ (Umsetzung, Implementierung), „Evaluation“ aufbaut und jeweilig eine eigene Verschriftlichung erfordert.
„Agile“ Planungsmethoden, die hier als „rekursiv“ mit sozialwissenschaftlichem Terminus exakter beschrieben werden können, sind insbesondere auf den unteren Ebenen der PR-Programmplanung wie auch operativen Maßnahmenebene als neue, sinnvolle Vorgehensweisen in der Konzeption und zukunftsfähige Ansätze.
Image captions in scientific papers usually are complementary to the images. Consequently, the captions contain many terms that do not refer to concepts visible in the image. We conjecture that it is possible to distinguish between these two types of terms in an image caption by analysing the text only. To examine this, we evaluated different features. The dataset we used to compute tf.idf values, word embeddings and concreteness values contains over 700 000 scientific papers with over 4,6 million images. The evaluation was done with a manually annotated subset of 329 images. Additionally, we trained a support vector machine to predict whether a term is a likely visible or not. We show that concreteness of terms is a very important feature to identify terms in captions and context that refer to concepts visible in images.
Seit 2011 gerät das Thema Plagiarismus als Form des Wissenschaftsbetrugs durch die Plagiatsfälle prominenter Politiker*innen immer wieder in den Fokus der Öffentlichkeit. Dabei ist das Problem des Plagiarismus in wissenschaftlichen Arbeiten wie Dissertationen gewiss nicht neu. Die vermehrte Zugänglichkeit wissenschaftlicher Texte über das Internet erleichtert die Übernahme fremder Inhalte jedoch erheblich und ermöglicht gleichzeitig eine striktere Kontrolle durch den Einsatz von Plagiatssoftwares. Die Arbeit untersucht die Frage nach dem Umgang mit Plagiaten im eigenen Bestand, die sich in diesem Zusammenhang für wissenschaftliche Bibliotheken, insbesondere für Hochschulbilbiotheken, stellt. Die Handlungsmöglichkeiten von Hochschulbibliotheken im Umgang mit Dissertationen, die sich nachweislich als Plagiate herausgestellt haben, werden dabei vornehmlich unter ethischen Gesichtspunkten analysiert.
Barrierefreiheit spielt eine wichtige Rolle für die Inklusion und Teilhabe von Menschen mit Behinderungen an der Gesellschaft. Mit dem Beschluss des Barrierefreiheitsstärkungsgesetzes soll ihnen ein gleichberechtigter Zugang zu bestimmten digitalen Diensten ermöglicht werden. Diese Arbeit befasst sich speziell mit den Anforderungen an die Barrierefreiheit in mobilen Anwendungen. Auf Grundlage der Web Content Accessibility Guidelines wird in dieser theoretischen Arbeit erläutert, wie eine App konzipiert und gestaltet werden muss, um barrierefrei zu sein. Das Ziel ist darzulegen, wie die verschiedenen Barrieren, die die Zugänglichkeit und Nutzbarkeit von mobilen Anwendungen für Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Arten von Behinderungen einschränken, vermieden oder beseitigt werden können. Dafür wird anhand konkreter Beispiele aufgezeigt, welche Barrieren im Zusammenhang mit verschiedenen Behinderungen die größten Schwierigkeiten bei der Bedienung auslösen. Aus der Betrachtung der international anerkannten Zugänglichkeitsrichtlinien geht hervor, dass zur Behebung dieser Probleme die Wahrnehmbarkeit, Bedienbarkeit, Verständlichkeit und Robustheit gewährleistet sein müssen, welche auch in Apps die Grundlage für Barrierefreiheit darstellen. Auf Basis dieser vier Prinzipien werden die Besonderheiten von Barrierefreiheit in mobilen Anwendungen und ihre typischen Probleme beschrieben, woraufhin Maßnahmen und Lösungen für mehr Accessibility in Apps herausgearbeitet werden. Zudem wird erläutert, ob und wie Kontrollen durchgeführt werden können, damit in Zukunft die Barrierefreiheit garantiert werden kann.
