Background: Emotions play a central role in mental disorder and especially in depression. They are sensed in the body, and it has recently been shown in healthy participants that these sensations can be differentiated between emotions. The aim of the current study was to assess bodily sensations for basic emotions induced by emotion eliciting pictures in depression.
Methods: 30 healthy controls (HC), 30 individuals suffering from Major depressive disorder (MDD) without medication use (MDDnm) and 30 individuals with MDD with medication use (MDDm) were shown emotional and neutral pictures and were asked to paint areas in an empty body silhouette where they felt an increase or decrease in activation. Body sensation maps were then calculated and statistical pattern recognition applied.
Results Results indicated statistically separable activation patterns for all three groups. MDDnm showed less overall activation than HCs, especially in sadness and fear, while MDDm showed stronger deactivation for all emotions than the other two groups.
Conclusions: We could show that emotion experience was associated with bodily sensations that are weaker in depression than in healthy controls and that antidepressant medication was correlated with an increased feeling of bodily deactivation.
Results give insights into the relevance for clinicians to acknowledge bodily sensations in the treatment of depression.
Background: Priority during the SARS-CoV2 pandemic is that employees need to be protected from infection risks and business activities need to be ensured. New virus variants with increased infection risks require an evolved risk strategy.
Material and methods: Several standard measures such as testing, isolation and quarantine are com-bined to a novel risk strategy. Epidemiological model calculations and scientific knowledge about the course of SARS-CoV2 infectivity are used to optimize this strategy. The procedure is implemented in an easy-to-use calculator based on Excel.
Layout in practice and results: Alternative combinations of measures and practical aspects are dis-cussed. Example calculations are used to demonstrate the effect of the discussed measures.
Conclusion: That quarantine calculator derived from these principles enables even non-specialists to perform a differentiated risk analysis and to introduce optimized measures. Targeted testing routines and alternative measures ensure staff availability.
Recommendations for the Development of a Robotic Drinking and Eating Aid - An Ethnographic Study
(2021)
Being able to live independently and self-determined in one’s own home is a crucial factor or human dignity and preservation of self-worth. For people with severe physical impairments who cannot use their limbs for every day tasks, living in their own home is only possible with assistance from others. The inability to move arms and hands makes it hard to take care of oneself, e.g. drinking and eating independently. In this paper, we investigate how 15 participants with disabilities consume food and drinks. We report on interviews, participatory observations, and analyzed the aids they currently use. Based on our findings, we derive a set of recommendations that supports researchers and practitioners in designing future robotic drinking and eating aids for people with disabilities.
Nowadays, robots are found in a growing number of areas where they collaborate closely with humans. Enabled by lightweight materials and safety sensors, these cobots are gaining increasing popularity in domestic care, where they support people with physical impairments in their everyday lives. However, when cobots perform actions autonomously, it remains challenging for human collaborators to understand and predict their behavior, which is crucial for achieving trust and user acceptance. One significant aspect of predicting cobot behavior is understanding their perception and comprehending how they “see” the world. To tackle this challenge, we compared three different visualization techniques for Spatial Augmented Reality. All of these communicate cobot perception by visually indicating which objects in the cobot’s surrounding have been identified by their sensors. We compared the well-established visualizations Wedge and Halo against our proposed visualization Line in a remote user experiment with participants suffering from physical impairments. In a second remote experiment, we validated these findings with a broader non-specific user base. Our findings show that Line, a lower complexity visualization, results in significantly faster reaction times compared to Halo, and lower task load compared to both Wedge and Halo. Overall, users prefer Line as a more straightforward visualization. In Spatial Augmented Reality, with its known disadvantage of limited projection area size, established off-screen visualizations are not effective in communicating cobot perception and Line presents an easy-to-understand alternative.
IT-Schutzmaßnahmen sind kein Selbstzweck. Mit Hilfe von IT-Schutzmaßnahmen kann das Risiko bei der Nutzung von IT-System reduziert werden. In diesem Artikel werden die Kosten der IT-Schutzmaßnahmen aus unterschiedlichen Blickwinkeln betrachtet. Da eine IT-Schutzmaßnahme eine Investition für die Zukunft ist, sollten die Kosten-Nutzen-Aspekte schon bei der Planung besonders berücksichtigt werden.

In der wissenschaftlichen Literatur gibt es kaum Studien, die sich mit der konkreten Alltagstauglichkeit von Smartwatches beschäftigen, um zu verstehen, warum die Klasse von wearables eher ein Nischendasein führt. In diesem Beitrag wird daher die Verwendung einer Smartwatch am Beispiel Kochen untersucht. Hierzu wurde eine Koch-App mit Rezeptinformationen für eine Smartwatch entwickelt, welche über Hand- und Armbewegungen in Form von Gesten bedient werden kann. In einer Feldstudie mit acht Probanden wurde ermittelt, inwieweit diese Interaktionsform den Kochprozess verändert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass die unmittelbare Verfügbarkeit der Uhr sowohl Effizienz- als auch Effektivitätsvorteile gegenüber klassischen Kochhilfen bietet. Die Steuerung via Freihandgesten erlaubte zudem die Nutzung in einem Szenario, in welchem die Hände oft belegt oder verschmutzt sind und somit eine Bedienung per Finger problematisch sein kann. Die Uhr wurde von den Probanden dabei als nützliches Werkzeug erachtet, obwohl diese bislang keinerlei Erfahrung mit einem solchen Gerät hatten.
This video shows a model computed from 320 images taken at the Tjex 2015 of the trade project (www.tradr-project.eu). The images were acquired with a falcan 8 drone (AscTec) and reconstruct the structure with VisualSfm software. The flight was in 150 m. The Tower is about 95 meter high.
This paper presents a novel approach to build consistent 3D maps for multi robot cooperation in USAR environments. The sensor streams from unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and ground robots (UGV) are fused in one consistent map. The UAV camera data are used to generate 3D point clouds that are fused with the 3D point clouds generated by a rolling 2D laser scanner at the UGV. The registration method is based on the matching of corresponding planar segments that are extracted from the point clouds. Based on the registration, an approach for a globally optimized localization is presented. Apart from the structural information of the point clouds, it is important to mention that no further information is required for the localization. Two examples show the performance of the overall registration.
360° UAV Flight in a collapse test setup at the German Resuce Robotik Center
This technical report is about the architecture and integration of commercial UAVs in Search and Rescue missions. We describe a framework that consists of heterogeneous UAVs, a UAV task planner, a bridge to the UAVs, an intelligent image hub, and a 3D point cloud generator. A first version of the framework was developed and tested in several training missions in the EU project TRADR.

The management of media brands faces challenges. In order to be able to point out possible solutions, this article first explains the concept and the nature of “media brands.” Subsequently, various theoretical approaches to the explanation of media brands and their management are presented. Regardless of theoretical preferences, it is important to keep in mind the brand-strategic complexity of media management that is subsequently described. Due to their specificity, special attention is paid to the basic strategic positioning options and to the communication management of media brands. In this way, the special features of media brand management become clear in comparison with other products and services.
