Current ethical debates on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare treat AI as a product technology three ways. First, by assessing risks and potential benefits currently developed AI-enabled products with checklists; second, proposing ex ante lists values seen relevant for design development assistive technology, third, promoting to moral reasoning part automation process. The dominance these perspectives discourse is demonstrated brief summary literature. Subsequently, we...
Abstract Background Despite the great benefits of intelligent assistive technology (IAT) for dementia care – example, enhanced safety and increased independence people with their caregivers its practical adoption is still limited. The social ethical issues pertaining to IAT in care, shaped by factors such as culture, may explain these limitations. However, most studies have focused on understanding within one cultural setting only. Therefore, aim this study was explore compare attitudes...
Intelligent assistive technologies (IAT) have become more common in dementia care. Ethical reflection on technology-assisted care (TADC) has focused so far mainly individual and interpersonal implications (e.g., self-determination, (in)dependence, safety or privacy issues, caregivers' support cost-efficiency). From an empowerment-sensitive perspective, however, the societal, political, economic technological preconditions for TADC should be deeply analyzed terms of their accelerating...
Numerous studies have shown that urban soils can contain elevated concentrations of heavy metals (HMs). Christchurch, New Zealand, is a relatively young city (150 years old) with population 390,000. Most in Christchurch are sub-urban, food production residential gardens popular activity. Earthquakes 2010 and 2011 resulted the re-zoning 630 ha suggestions some this land could be used for community gardens. We aimed to determine HM selection suburban as well identified being at risk...
Abstract Monitoring and assistive technologies (MATs) are being used more frequently in healthcare. A central ethical concern is the compatibility of these systems with moral preferences their users—an issue especially relevant to participatory approaches within ethics-by-design debate. However, users’ incapacity communicate or participate design processes, e.g., due dementia, presents a hurdle for approaches. In this paper, we explore question how value users field dementia care can be...
We present the temperature dependence of electrical resistivity, magnetic susceptibility, and specific heat a high-quality single crystal ${\mathrm{La}}_{3}{\mathrm{Co}}_{4}{\mathrm{Sn}}_{13}$. As opposed to earlier reports on this system, these bulk properties exhibit clear anomalies at phase transition ${T}^{*}=151(1)$ K, while data confirm second-order character transition. X-ray diffraction with synchrotron radiation is used solve fourfold superstructure in space group $I{2}_{1}3$ as it...
In the originally published paper, following introductory case-vignette was missing.Use Case: Mr. Alois, who diagnosed with dementia some time ago, lives in a nursing home.As part of pilot project, this home is using various AI-based monitoring and assistive technologies (MATs), e.g., caregiver technical notification systems, digital documentation communication shower robots.These systems are expected to increase autonomy privacy residents, improve working conditions caregivers, efficiency...
Abstract Suffosion ist ein hydromechanischer Prozess, welcher die Umlagerung und den Transport der feinen Partikel eines Bodens infolge einer Wasserströmung beschreibt. Um Auswirkungen des Materialverlustes auf das Materialverhalten zu verstehen, wurden Einfluss Ausgangsdichte Masse Materialverlusts, volumetrische Verformung Änderung Wasserdurchlässigkeit untersucht. Hierfür wurde Struktur (Kontakt‐ Kontaktkraftverteilung) suffosionsanfälligen qualitativ mithilfe von DEM‐Simulationen...
Theoretically, this paper builds on ideas of ecosystem services (ES) in landscapes, property theories plurality and marginality, the legal geography localized place. Methodologically, we will explore three divergent ways measuring ES a propertied landscape. Substantively, combining theory spatial methods way allow for future consideration arrangements that might be more optimal representative contextualized

Subsequently, we propose fourth approach AI, namely methodological tool assist reflection. We provide...
