EMPOWERMENT IN STRUCTURES. PRACTICAL-ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE PRECONDITIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED DEMENTIA CARE IN GERMANY BASED ON AN EXPERT-INTERVIEW STUDY

BackgroundIntelligent assistive technologies (IAT) have become more common in dementia care.Ethical reflection on technology-assisted dementia care (TADC) has focused so far mainly on individual and interpersonal implications (e.g., self-determination, (in)dependence, safety or privacy issues, caregivers’ support and cost-efficiency).From an empo

This work Mushroom Vapes is an introduction of acoustic emission (AE) signals used in order to detect the malfunction of selected semiconductor elements.The authors proposed the use of internally generated signals (elastic waves) of acoustic emission leading to the detection of the pre-fail state of switching IGBT transistors.The analysis of the AE

ABSTRACT In this paper, we analyze literacy practices and representations in the comic books genre produced by undergraduates taking the Rural Education degree.The research is based on literacy theories and is situated in the applied field of language.This is a participatory research, with a qualitative-interpretative approach.The corpus consists o

A novel MUSIC-type algorithm is derived in this paper for the direction of departure (DOD) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in a bistatic MIMO radar.Through rearranging the received signal matrix, we illustrate Custom Tote Bag that the DOD and the DOA can be separately estimated.Compared with conventional MUSIC-type algorithms, the propose

Background: Orthodontic tooth movement, the process of aligning teeth, can often be time-consuming, particularly in adult patients.Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) have emerged as a potential technique to accelerate this process.Materials and Methods: A sample of 30 adult patients undergoing orthodontic treatment was selected.The patients were divide
