      <title>German Light Verb Constructions in Business Process Models</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/17633</link>
      <description>We present a resource of German light verb constructions extracted from textual labels in graphical business process models. Those models depict the activities in processes in an organization in a semi-formal way. From a large range of sources, we compiled a repository of 2,301 business process models. Their textual labels (altogether 52,963 labels) were analyzed. This produced a list of 5,246 occurrences of 846 light verb constructions. We found that the light verb constructions that occur in business process models differ from light verb constructions that have been analyzed in other texts. Hence, we conclude that texts in graphical business process models represent a specific type of texts that is worth to be studied on its own. We think that our work is a step towards better automatic analysis of business process models because understanding the actual meaning of activity labels is a prerequisite for detecting certain types of modelling problems.</description>

      <title>Zukunfts- und Wertschöpfungslabor DataLab WestSax : Ein regionaler Katalysator für datenbasierte Wertschöpfungsprozesse</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/17529</link>
      <description>Neue Wertschöpfungsprozesse und Geschäftsmodelle, die durch umfangreiche Datennutzung und überbetriebliches Datenteilen geprägt sind, werden für Unternehmen immer wichtiger. Viele Barrieren und Hemmnisse verlangsamen jedoch vor allem für den Mittelstand den Weg zu einer datenbasierten Wertschöpfung. Den Unternehmen fehlt es an konkreten Datennutzungs- und Umsetzungsideen und/oder an Digitalisierungs- und Datenanalysekompetenzen. Dadurch bestehen ungenutzte Wertschöpfungspotenziale in Unternehmen – selbst wenn bereits Daten vorhanden sind. Mit diesem Beitrag werden durch die Beschreibung eines Reallabors mit Realexperimenten Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten für Unternehmen aufgezeigt, um den eigenen „Datenschatz“ zu identifizieren und zu heben.</description>

      <title>Meeting User Needs in Vehicle Automation</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/17453</link>
      <description>This paper gives an overview of the results of the German national project AutoAkzept. The objective of the project was to develop solutions for the design of automated vehicles that promote the development of trust and thus acceptance for connected, cooperative, and automated mobility by reducing or even preventing subjective uncertainties and associated negative experiences. To this end, AutoAkzept developed technological building blocks for the assessment of activities and states of users of automated vehicles, the creation and application of individual user profiles for the optimization of system adaptation to users as well as strategies for adapting the behavior of automated vehicles in terms of information transfer, interior set-up, routing, and driving style selection. In developing these solutions, the project focused on the essential needs of users of automated systems. These needs should be considered in the conception and design of automated vehicles as well as in their operational use.</description>

      <title>Endless Fibre-reinforced Composite-Metal-Impeller : Investigation and Comparison of the Damping Behaviour</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/17395</link>
      <description>The mode shapes and loss factors of a modular carbon fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) composite impeller were determined experimentally and virtually at the component and the impeller level from the validation pyramid. The results are compared with those of investigations on steel reference models and structures. Good correlations were found between the results of the simulation and the experiment of the metallic structures. The similarities were much less marked for the CFRP parts. The damping behaviour of the CFRP impeller is significantly larger compared to steel, mainly due to the modular design.</description>

      <title>Instruierende Texte für Kinder in Zeiten der Corona-Pandemie: Eine multimodale Diskursanalyse der Anleitungsvideos zu Corona-Tests der Augsburger Puppenkiste</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/17172</link>
      <description>During the COVID-19 pandemics, we have to deal with a large number of rules and standards published by the government, aiming at influencing the behavoiur of the citizens in order to slow the spread of a potential lethal virus and to keep infection rates low. While most of the information is addressed to adults, some texts are conceived with a special focus on children; this is the case for texts explaining the correct use of Corona tests which at a certain point in time became mandatory in schools. The present article aims at describing, based on a multimodal discourse analysis, the use of verbal strategies as well as the combination of verbal and non-verbal elements in two videos of the Augsburger Puppenkiste, with regards to the instructive function of the texts.</description>

      <title>Rehabilitation after Stroke: Practicable Functionalities and Benefiting Patients of Brain-computer Interfaces in Combination with Functional Electrical Stimulation – A Qualitative Interview Study</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16931</link>
      <description>Introduction: Brain-computer interfaces in combination with functional electrical stimulation (BCI-FES) is currently researched whether it is a viable approach for post-stroke rehabilitation, but it is important to know which patient groups can benefit from such systems and what features it should have to be accepted and used in a clinical context.&#13;
&#13;
Materials and Methods: A qualitative interview study with eight staff members from a regional hospital with a supraregional stroke unit was conducted. Categories where independently extracted from the answers.&#13;
&#13;
Results: The results indicate that such systems must be easy to operate, quick to setup, and should possibly be usable at home. The interviewees state that Phases A and B patients (acute rehabilitation and early rehabilitation) may not benefit from such systems as they usually do not have the cognitive abilities to understand and implement the instruction.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusion: BCI-FES system is currently not useful for inpatient rehabilitation routine of a stroke unit due to the lack of time&#13;
and complexity of such systems. Furthermore, it should be evaluated how Phases C and D patients (follow-up rehabilitation) can benefit from such systems.</description>

      <title>AI-based Improvement of Decision-makers' Knowledge in Production Planning and Control</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16879</link>
      <description>Production companies are required to implement efficient, flexible manufacturing processes to face the competitive global market. The ongoing digital transformation leads many companies to store production process data, which offers optimization potential using Artificial Intelligence (AI). However, production planning and control is often still performed manually with a significant amount of human expert knowledge. To enhance the decision-makers’ knowledge and hereby the decisions’ quality, the available database can be analyzed with AI methods. This paper aims at improving the human decision-making process by providing a methodology to evaluate and apply AI-generated knowledge w.r.t. its quality and long-term usefulness for decision-makers.</description>

      <title>Teleproctoring for Training in Structural Heart Interventions: Initial Real‐World Experience During the COVID‐19 Pandemic</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16878</link>
      <description>Background: Proctoring represents a cornerstone in the acquisition of state‐of‐the‐art cardiovascular interventions. Yet, travel restrictions and containment measures during the COVID‐19 pandemic limited on‐site proctoring for training and expert support in interventional cardiology.&#13;
&#13;
Methods and Results: We established a teleproctoring setup for training in a novel patent foramen ovale closure device system (NobleStitch EL, HeartStitch Inc, Fountain Valley, CA) at our institution using web‐based real‐time bidirectional audiovisual communication. A total of 6 patients with prior paradoxical embolic stroke and a right‐to‐left shunt of grade 2 or 3 were treated under remote proctorship after 3 cases were performed successfully under on‐site proctorship. No major device/procedure‐related adverse events occurred, and none of the patients had a residual right‐to‐left shunt of grade 1 or higher after the procedure. Additionally, we sought to provide an overview of current evidence available for teleproctoring in interventional cardiology. Literature review was performed identifying 6 previous reports on teleproctoring for cardiovascular interventions, most of which were related to the current COVID‐19 pandemic. In all reports, teleproctoring was carried out in similar settings with comparable setups; no major adverse events were reported.&#13;
&#13;
Conclusions: Teleproctoring may represent a feasible and safe tool for location‐independent and cost‐effective training in a novel patent foramen ovale closure device system. Future prospective trials comparing teleproctoring with traditional on‐site proctoring are warranted.</description>

      <title>Experimental Analysis of a Stochastic Backward Simulation Approach Under the Specifics of Semiconductor Manufacturing</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16870</link>
      <description>Manufacturing companies are experiencing many challenges with regard to customer-oriented and on-time production, especially in the context of an intensified global business and while advancing the digital transformation. Accordingly, the ongoing development and deployment of Industry 4.0 solutions for customisable products in small batch sizes, not only pose new problems for work preparation, but also for operative production planning in connection with high cost, time and quality pressure. Modern, complex and highly automated production systems (in this case from the semiconductor domain) must be operated close to an optimal operating state in order to be economically reasonable. Promised delivery dates and throughput times specified in contracted service agreements must be ensured and require a permanent and effective adjustment of production planning and control in daily execution. All other general conditions of an economic production remain unchanged. Today, the question of whether the production target is realistic and whether all promised delivery dates are met are today still answered with rather simple backward-oriented approaches, mostly without taking into account uncertainties, stochastic behaviour of the manufacturing system or alternatives that arise during operation. As shown in previous publications, these questions can be answered in more detail and more resilient using a backward-oriented discrete event-based simulation approach (SimBack). This article presents additional findings. The results show and deepen the impression, that the SimBack-approach can be successfully solve scheduling questions for customer-specific orders in a real-world environment.</description>

      <title>VR in Nursing Facilities - A randomized controlled multicenter pilot study analyzing the changes in the state of mind of seniors in nursing facilities through the viewing of 360° videos</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16594</link>
      <description>Context: VR as an application to enhance well-being is sparsely researched in the elderly population. The aim of the pilot study was to analyze the effect of 360° videos of different categories on the state of mind of seniors in nursing facilities. Furthermore, for the implementation in everyday life, the usability of the system and the experience for seniors should be evaluated.&#13;
&#13;
Methods: The VR experience was used as a supplement to existing care services in three facilities on eight subjects. Mood state was assessed using the Questionnaire for the Assessment of Happiness before and after the intervention. Demographic data and technology acceptance were collected beforehand. After the intervention, subjects were interviewed about confounding factors and side effects, and nursing home staff were interviewed about the usability of the system and the organizational concept of implementation.&#13;
 &#13;
Results: There was a positive effect on state of mind. Gender and spatial mobility turned out to be influencing factors. Categories containing people, animals and action achieved the highest increases in the state of mind. Interest in using technical devices correlated negatively with the change in mood state. None of the subjects found the VR goggles distracting or reported motion sickness. Very good usability was indicated by the employees.&#13;
 &#13;
Conclusion: A very high willingness to use this technology was found among nursing staff and residents. The tendencies of the positive effect of 360° videos on the state of mind, as well as differentiation based on the mentioned characteristics gender and spatial mobility, should be verified by a larger sample to empirically validate the use of this technology to increase the quality of life.</description>

      <title>A note on generalized invertibility and invariants of infinite matrices</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/14704</link>
      <description>The classes of band-dominated operators and the subclass of operators in the Wiener algebra W are known to be inverse closed. This paper studies and extends partially known results of that type for one-sided and generalized invertibility. Furthermore, for the operators in the Wiener algebra W invertibility, the Fredholm property and the Fredholm index are known to be independent of the underlying space lp, 1≤p≤∞. Here this is completed by the observation that even the kernel and a suitable direct complement of the range as well as generalized inverses of operators in W are invariant w.r.t. p.&#13;

      <title>A novel approach to consider triaxial tensile stresses within the framework of a failure criterion</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16574</link>
      <description>For use in micromechanical simulations of continuous fiber reinforced polymers, a more general form of the paraboloid failure criterion by Stassi‐D'Alia for matrix failure was developed with explicit consideration of the hydrostatic tension strength. Regarding polymers, limits for hydrostatic tensile strength based on isotropic linear elasticity could be derived. The comparison of the newly developed extended paraboloid criterion with experimental data for yielding as well as for material separation (fracture) shows good agreement.</description>

      <title>A Biased-Randomized Discrete-Event Algorithm for the Hybrid Flow Shop Problem with Time Dependencies and Priority Constraints</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16584</link>
      <description>Based on a real-world application in the semiconductor industry, this article models and discusses a hybrid flow shop problem with time dependencies and priority constraints. The analyzed problem considers a production where a large number of heterogeneous jobs are processed by a number of machines. The route that each job has to follow depends upon its type, and, in addition, some machines require that a number of jobs are combined in batches before starting their processing. The hybrid flow model is also subject to a global priority rule and a “same setup” rule. The primary goal of this study was to find a solution set (permutation of jobs) that minimizes the production makespan. While simulation models are frequently employed to model these time-dependent flow shop systems, an optimization component is needed in order to generate high-quality solution sets. In this study, a novel algorithm is proposed to deal with the complexity of the underlying system. Our algorithm combines biased-randomization techniques with a discrete-event heuristic, which allows us to model dependencies caused by batching and different paths of jobs efficiently in a near-natural way. As shown in a series of numerical experiments, the proposed simulation-optimization algorithm can find solutions that significantly outperform those provided by employing state-of-the-art simulation software.</description>

      <title>Material Selection Process for Acoustic and Vibration Applications Using the Example of a Plate Resonator</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16576</link>
      <description>In this work, a new method for selecting suitable materials is presented. This method has a high potential for a variety of engineering applications, such as the design of sound-absorbing and vibration-loaded structures, where a large number of different requirements have to be met. The method is based on the derivation of functional dependencies of selected material parameters. These dependencies can be used in parameter studies to consider parameter combinations that lie in the range of real existing and targeted material groups. This allows the parameter space to be reduced, the calculation to be accelerated, and suitable materials to be (pre-)selected for the respective application, which contributes to a more target-oriented design. The method is applied to the example of a plate resonator. For this purpose, a semi-analytical model is implemented to calculate the transmission loss as well as the reflected and dissipated sound power of plate silencers, taking into account the influence of flow velocity and fluid temperature on the performance of plate silencers.</description>

      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16577</link>
      <description>The aim of the present investigation was to determine the dependence of the material and process parameters of the bending process of thermoplastic films. In this context, parameter combinations leading to high resulting forming ratios were identified. To measure the relevant parameters within the hot bending process, a coupled evaluation of infrared thermography (IRT) and deformation measurement using digital image correlation (DIC) was performed. The coupled measurement enables the identification of the actual mechanically stressed bending area of the film as a result of the bending process. This allows for the specification of the local forming temperatures required for the desired forming ratios. Furthermore, the mechanical and thermal strain along the defined measuring sections and their deviation in individual tests as well as the effect of thermal strain on process control on a larger scale were determined. Based on the results, a process window was defined for the film materials investigated, which will serve as a starting point for future efforts to develop a continuous manufacturing process.</description>

      <title>Influence of Current Modulation on Melting Behavior during Wire Arc Spraying</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16568</link>
      <description>The atomizing gas dynamics and the applied process energy have a significant influence on the produced particles. The melting process of the two wires can be influenced by current modulation. As for arc welding processes, more and more electronic and software-controlled machines are being used for arc spraying and will have replaced conventional power sources in the future. Due to the highly dynamic, fast regulating computing technology in the latest energy source, technology arcs can be operated with different current forms and types. The modern machines allow process-stable, reproducible variation of the particles and heat input into the substrate. Constant and pulsed current can be used as current forms. Usable current types are direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC). The electrical parameters must be analyzed to evaluate the process behavior. The consumable used is a wire-shaped iron-based alloy with a diameter of 1.6 mm. Relevant process parameters such as basic current Iground, pulse current Ipulse, pulse duration tpulse, impulse frequency fpulse, and alternating current frequency, fAC, are varied and recorded using appropriate measurement technology. The aim is to change the process performance and thereby the particle formation in a broad band. High-speed images are used to observe the arc and the deposition process. In addition, particle sizes are determined.</description>

      <title>Nationwide Survey of German Outpatient Gynecologic Oncology Practices during the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Pandemic: Reactions to the First Wave and Future Perspectives</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16570</link>
      <description>Introduction: In the spring of 2020, coronavirus disease 2019 posed a substantial challenge for countries and their healthcare systems. In Germany, over 70% of all cancer patients are treated in an outpatient setting, so gynecologic oncology practices are the guarantors of optimal patient care. We developed a survey to evaluate the management of gynecologic oncology patients.&#13;
&#13;
Methods: The survey consisted of 38 questions and was sent to the members of the Berufsverband Niedergelassener Gynäkologischer Onkologen in Deutschland e.V. (BNGO), a professional association of gynecologic oncologists in the outpatient sector in Germany.&#13;
&#13;
Results: The survey was completed by 54 out of 133 (41%) gynecologic oncologists from 14 out of 15 (93%) federal states where the BNGO is represented. Facing the pandemic, popular measures were mask requirements (100%), restriction of access to practices (94%), increased number of disinfectant dispensers (85%), installment of panes of acrylic glass (76%), or spatial alterations (67%). For most patients the pandemic had no influence on prioritization of therapies (82%) or prescribed systemic treatments (87%). Despite an increase in perceived psychological burden among the staff (72%), 85% (45/54) of the practices were not offered any additional psychological support.&#13;
&#13;
Discussion and Conclusion: As most cancer patients in Germany are treated in an outpatient setting, a suitable reaction of oncology centers to the new circumstances was crucial to secure optimal treatment and patient care. Nevertheless, the low prioritization of mental health or distress of healthcare workers poses a serious threat to the maintenance of optimal medical care in further waves of the pandemic.</description>

      <title>Quantification of Bacterial DNA from Infected Human Root Canals Using qPCR and DAPI after Disinfection with Established and Novel Irrigation Protocols</title>
      <link>https://libdoc.whz.de/opus4/frontdoor/index/index/docId/16569</link>
      <description>The removal of bacterial infections within the root canal system is still a challenge. Therefore, the cleansing effect of established and new irrigation-protocols (IP) containing silver diamine fluoride (SDF) 3.8% on the whole root canal system was analyzed using quantitative PCR (qPCR) and 4′,6-diamidino-phenylindole-(DAPI)-staining. Extracted human premolars were instrumented up to F2 (ProTaper Gold) under NaCl 0.9% irrigation and incubated with Enterococcus faecalis for 42 days. Subsequently, different ultrasonically agitated IP were applied to the roots: control (no irrigation), 1. NaOCl 3%, EDTA 20%, CHX 2%, 2. NaOCl 3%, EDTA 20%, 3. NaOCl 3%, EDTA 20%, SDF 3.8%, 4. SDF 3.8%, and 5. NaCl 0.9%. One half of the root was investigated fluorescent-microscopically with DAPI. The other half was grinded in a cryogenic mill and the bacterial DNA was quantified with qPCR. The qPCR results showed a statistically significant reduction of bacteria after the application of IP 1, 2, and 3 compared to the control group. While IP 4 lead to a bacterial reduction which was not significant, IP 5 showed no reduction. These data corresponded with DAPI staining. With qPCR a new molecular-biological method for the investigation of the complete root canal system was implemented. The novel IP 3 had an equally good cleansing effect as the already established IP.</description>
