Das Ziel dieser Bachelorarbeit ist es, ein einfach verständliches Simulationsmodell zur Darstellung der Wirkung von Kabelschirmen bei Betrachtung verschiedener Schirmauflageverfahren zu entwickeln. Die erarbeiteten Ergebnisse decken sich mit der allgemein vertretenen Meinung, dass die beste Schirmwirkung durch eine beidseitige und flächige Schirmauflage erzielt wird. Zuerst werden Grundlagen erklärt, wobei sich auf relevante Literatur bezogen wird. Daraus wird das Simulationsmodell hergeleitet, dessen Ergebnisse anhand von theoretischen Überlegungen und praktischen Messungen überprüft werden. Die vorliegende Arbeit ist interessant für Ingenieurinnen und Ingenieure der Automatisierungstechnik in der Prozess- und Fertigungsindustrie, die ein grundlegendes Verständnis für relevante Effekte der Kabelschirmung bilden wollen.
Zur Verbesserung der IT-Sicherheit im klassischen Büroumfeld wird bereits eine neue Firewall-Technologie, die sogenannte Next Generation Firewall verwendet. Um diese Technologie im Produktionsbereich einzusetzen, muss sie vorher getestet werden, da sich die Priorisierung der Schutzziele im Produktionsbereich und im Büroumfeld unterscheidet. In dieser Arbeit werden das Einsatzgebiet und die Wirkungsweise von Firewalls in industriellen Automatisierungssystemen im Allgemeinen und spezifisch für Next Generation Firewalls untersucht. Die Untersuchung geht auf die Aufgaben der einzelnen Firewalls in einem Produktionsunternehmen ein und prüft, welche Firewall durch eine Next Generation Firewall ergänzt werden kann. Dazu werden die konventionellen Firewall-Technologien mit der neuen Firewall-Technologie verglichen und bewertet. Der Nutzen der Next Generation Firewall in der Produktionsumgebung wird am Beispiel eines ausgewählten Angriffsszenarios erklärt. Abschließend werden Empfehlungen für dessen Einsatz in industriellen Automatisierungssystemen gegeben.
This feasibility study investigates the flexural properties of biocomposites containing woven flax textiles (plain, twill, satin) and woven twill patterned hybrid textiles containing flax-/glass or flax-/carbon mixture for lightweight applications. Synthetic fibers are integrated as weft and flax fibers are integrated as warp yarns using a double-rapier weaving machine with a Jacquard attachment. The corresponding biocomposites are manufactured via vacuum infusion process using a biobased epoxy resin as a matrix. The manufactured biocomposites are analyzed with regard to their density and flexural properties. The results show that the use of hybrid textiles offers a promising solution for the manufacture of biocomposites with a higher biobased content and significantly improved flexural properties. Furthermore, the introduction of high-performance synthetic fibers in textiles enables the manufacture of biocomposites with an isotropic mechanical performance.

Background
Maternal postpartum depression has an impact on mother-infant interaction. Mothers with depression display less positive affect and sensitivity in interaction with their infants compared to non-depressed mothers. Depressed women also show more signs of distress and difficulties adjusting to their role as mothers than non-depressed women. In addition, depressive mothers are reported to be affectively more negative with their sons than with daughters.
Methods
A non-clinical sample of 106 mother-infant dyads at psychosocial risk (poverty, alcohol or drug abuse, lack of social support, teenage mothers and maternal psychic disorder) was investigated with EPDS (maternal postpartum depressive symptoms), the CARE-Index (maternal sensitivity in a dyadic context) and PSI-SF (maternal distress). The baseline data were collected when the babies had reached 19 weeks of age.
Results
A hierarchical regression analysis yielded a highly significant relation between the PSI-SF subscale "parental distress" and the EPDS total score, accounting for 55% of the variance in the EPDS. The other variables did not significantly predict the severity of depressive symptoms. A two-way ANOVA with "infant gender" and "maternal postpartum depressive symptoms" showed no interaction effect on maternal sensitivity.
Conclusions
Depressive symptoms and maternal sensitivity were not linked. It is likely that we could not find any relation between both variables due to different measuring methods (self-reporting and observation). Maternal distress was strongly related to maternal depressive symptoms, probably due to the generally increased burden in the sample, and contributed to 55% of the variance of postpartum depressive symptoms.
Background:
This study examined the extent to which regulatory problems in infants at 4 and 6 months influence childhood development at 12 months. The second aim of the study was to examine the influence maternal distress has on 4-month-old children’s subsequent development as well as gender differences with regard to regulatory problems and development.
Methods:
153 mother-child dyads enrolled in the family support research project “Nobody slips through the net” constituted the comparison group. These families faced psychosocial risks (e.g. poverty, excessive demands on the mother, and mental health disorders of the mother, measured with the risk screening instrument Heidelberger Belastungsskala - HBS) and maternal stress, determined with the Parental Stress Index (PSI-SF). The children’s developmental levels and possible early regulatory problems were evaluated by means of the Ages and Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) and a German questionnaire assessing problems of excessive crying along with sleeping and feeding difficulties (SFS).
Results:
A statistically significant but only low, inverse association between excessive crying, whining and sleep problems at 4 and 6 months and the social development of one-year-olds (accounting for 5% and 8% of the variance respectively) was found. Feeding problems had no effect on development. Although regulatory problems in infants were accompanied by increased maternal stress level, these did not serve as a predictor of the child’s social development at 12 months. One-year-old girls reached a higher level of development in social and fine motor skills. No gender differences were found with regard to regulatory problems, nor any moderating effect of gender on the relation between regulatory problems and level of development.
Conclusions:
Our results reinforce existing knowledge pertaining to the transactional association between regulatory problems in infants, maternal distress and dysfunctionality of mother-child interactions. They also provide evidence of a slight but distinct negative influence of crying and sleeping problems on children’s subsequent social development. Easily accessible support services provided by family health visitors (particularly to the so-called “at-risk families”) are strongly recommended to help prevent the broadening of children’s early regulatory problems into other areas of behavior.
Dieses Research Paper befasst sich mit dem Thema der Hochverfügbarkeit von Automatisierungsnetzwerken am Beispiel von PROFINET. Anhand von verschiedenen PROFINET-Topologien soll verdeutlicht werden, durch welche Maßnahmen eine hohe Verfügbarkeit erzielt werden kann. Zuvor wird mithilfe von grundliegenden Berechnungsbeispielen gezeigt, wie sich die Verfügbarkeit eines technischen Systems ermitteln lässt. Anschließend erfolgt für die Betrachtung der Gesamtverfügbarkeit einer PROFINET-Anlage eine genaue Bestimmung der jeweiligen Verfügbarkeitswerte für die einzelnen PROFINET-Geräte. Ein besonderes Augenmerk richtet sich hierbei speziell auf die Verwendung von IO Devices mit redundanten bzw. nicht-redundanten Interfacemodulen. Für das Erzielen einer hohen Verfügbarkeit sind nicht nur PROFINET-Geräte von entscheidender Bedeutung, sondern auch die Stuktur des PROFINET-Netzwerks. Im Zusammenspiel mit den bereits existierenden Redundanzprotokollen, die für die Verwaltung des Datenverkehrs zuständig sind, werden in diesem Bericht mehrere Topologien anhand verschiedener Eigenschaften und Voraussetzungen auf ihre Vor- und Nachteile untersucht und entsprechend ihrer Gesamtverfügbarkeitswerte bewertet.
Dieses Research Paper basiert im Wesentlichen auf der Bachelorarbeit von Herrn Sebastian Stelljes an der Hochschule Hannover. Im Nachgang zur Arbeit wurden noch weitere Aspekte untersucht und mit den Inhalten der Bachelorarbeit zu diesem Research Paper zusammengeführt.
Background: Oral cancers (OC) are malignant lesions occurring in the oral cavity that include squamous cell carcinomas (SCC), salivary gland and odontogenic neoplasms. Even though it is the eighth most common malignancy globally but in Pakistan it is the second commonest type of cancer. Lack of awareness about ill-effects of preventable risk factors of oral cancer increases the burden of disease due to the associated high cost of treatment, permanent impairment and high mortality. Hence, awareness can be very helpful in prevention, control and early diagnosis of oral cancer.
Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among university students from Karachi, Pakistan during April to May 2018. Three hundred students were approached to participate in the study of which 277 agreed to participate. Pretested questionnaire was distributed and collected data was analysed using IBM SPSS version 23.
Results: There were 125 (45%) males and 152 (55%) females in the study and response rate was 94%. Sixty one percent (154/250) respondents correctly identified smoking, and tobacco chewing as possible causes of oral cancer. Almost one third (74%; 184/250) respondents correctly responded that oral cancer does not spread from person to person through touch or speaking. Sixty six percent (164/250) respondents believed that oral cancer is curable. Mean score of knowledge was higher in females (61%) than males (53%). Significantly higher number of females compared to male participants answered correctly to questions regarding cause of oral cancer, spread of disease and occurrence of oral cancer in AIDS patients.
Conclusions: Participants showed poor knowledge about oral cancer. Female participants showed better knowledge compared to male counterparts. Details about oral cancer should be incorporated in the university curriculum and periodic awareness programs should be organized for students.
Background:
In order to prevent child abuse, instruments measuring child abuse potential (CAP) need to be appropriate, reliable and valid.
Objective:
This study aimed to confirm the 6-factor structure of the Brief Child Abuse Potential Inventory (BCAPI) in a German sample of mothers and fathers, and to examine longitudinal predictors of CAP.
Participants and setting:
Two waves of data were collected from 197 mothers and 191 fathers of children aged 10–21 months for the “Kinder in Deutschland–KiD 0–3” in-depth study. Families were stratified based on prior self-report data for screening purposes.
Methods:
138 fathers and 147 mothers were included in the analysis (invalid: 25% mothers, 30% fathers). First, validity of reporting was examined. Second, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to assess factor structure. Third, internal reliability and criterion validity were examined. Finally, multivariate poisson regressions investigated longitudinal predictors of CAP in mothers.
Results:
A previously established six-factor structure was confirmed for mothers but not fathers. CFA failed for fathers due to large numbers of variables with zero variance. For mothers, internal consistency and criterion validity were good. BCAPI score at follow-up was associated with baseline BCAPI score (β= 00.08), stress (β= 0.06), education (β=-0.19) and alcohol use(β= .58).
Conclusions:
Findings confirm the six-factor structure of the BCAPI among German mothers. The clinical use of the BCAPI in fathers is not recommended as it might produce data that are hard to interpret. Further research with fathers is needed to establish if this is due to limitations with this dataset or with the questionnaire.
Background: Patient satisfaction is considered as an indicator of the healthcare quality. Information on patient satisfaction based on medical expertise of the physician, interpersonal skills, physician-patient interaction time, perception and needs of the patient allow policymakers to identify areas for improvement. Primary care services and healthcare structure differ between the countries. The present study was done to determine and analyze the determinants associated with patient satisfaction in India, Pakistan, Spain and USA.
Methods: This descriptive study was performed in January to August 2019 among students from Mumbai University, India, Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, Pakistan, University CEU Cardenal Herrera, Valencia, Spain, Texas State University, Texas, USA. On the basis of the eligibility criterion (those who gave a written informed consent and were registered students of respective university) 890 (India: 369, Pakistan: 128, Spain: 195, USA: 99) students were selected for the present study.
Results: India had almost similar male (49%) to female (51%) ratio of participants. For other 3 countries (PK, ES, US), female participant percentage was nearly 20% or even more as compared to male participants. Overall participant’s satisfaction score about medial expertise of the doctor were highest in India (71%) and were lowest in Spain (43%). Overall satisfaction score about time spent with doctor were highest for India (64%) and were lowest for Spain (41%). Overall satisfaction score about communication with doctor were highest for US (60%) and were lowest for PK (53%). Overall satisfaction score for medical care given by the doctor was lowest in PK (43%) and was highest in US (64%). Overall satisfaction about doctor, highest number of US (83%) and lowest number of PK (32%) participants were satisfied about medical interaction with doctors.
Conclusions: These multi-country findings can provide information for health policy making in India, Pakistan, Spain and USA. Although the average satisfaction per country, except Pakistan is more than 60%, the results suggest that there is ample room for improvement.
