Patient:innen, die in der Notaufnahme liegen, stehen vor dem Problem, eine ungewohnte Umgebung aus einer veränderten Perspektive zu erleben. Die Umgebung der Notaufnahme ist für diese Patientengruppe nicht immer freundlich und zumeist wenig gestaltet. Liegende Patient:innen können sich in den verschiedenen Bereichen ängstlich und unbehaglich fühlen. Die Deckengestaltung von drei Bereichen wurde aufgrund von Patientenabläufen für die Analyse gewählt: der Flur, der Überwachungsbereich und der Untersuchungsraum. Daraus ergibt sich die Forschungsfrage, welche Deckengestaltungen die negativen Gefühle liegender Patient:innen in den drei Bereichen der Notaufnahme mildern würden. Um die Kriterien für die Analyse der Deckengestaltung festzulegen, werden aus der Literatur Faktoren ermittelt, die sich positiv auf Patient:innen auswirken. Dabei werden die drei Grundkriterien Licht, Farbe und Grafik ermittelt. Anhand von Beispielen aus der Praxis wird gezeigt, dass die drei Gestaltungsprinzipien in verschiedenen Bereichen unterschiedlich Anwendung finden. Die Ergebnisse zeigen die Verwendung von einzelnen Farbtönen und natürlichem Licht im Flur. Im Überwachungsbereich kann der aktive Einsatz von Farben und Grafik festgestellt werden. Die geeignete Anordnung von künstlicher Beleuchtung und die Auswahl geeigneter Grafik im Untersuchungsraum wird gezeigt.

Das 1911–1914 errichtete Neue Königliche Polizeipräsidium am Hohenzollernplatz wurde 1944 teilweise zerstört, wiederaufgebaut und über die fast 110-jährige Lebensdauer immer wieder verändert. Im Zuge der geplanten Revitalisierung des heutigen Kulturdenkmals sind unter anderem Eingriffe in die bestehende Tragkonstruktion vorgesehen, welche zu Änderungen der statischen Systeme sowie des Lastabtrags und der Lastweitergabe führen. In diesem Beitrag werden die Aspekte der systematischen Strukturanalyse am Objekt für eine experimentelle Tragwerksbeurteilung erläutert. Durch Voruntersuchungen mithilfe verschiedener Prüfverfahren wurden Deckentypen, deren Spannrichtungen, Aufbauten und deren Verteilung innerhalb des Gebäudes festgestellt. Anschließend wurden, unter Betrachtung der Schnittgrößenänderung aus den geplanten Eingriffen in die bestehende Deckensysteme, experimentelle Tragsicherheitsbewertungen durchgeführt.

<p>Past theory and research have documented several stereotypes that explain why biases against Asian Americans (AAs) in U.S. organizations can occur, such as the Model Minority Stereotype (MMS) and Perpetual Foreigner Syndrome (PFS). The current project expands on past work by proposing a new perspective of stereotypes driving (mis)treatment of AAs: Mechanistic dehumanization. Specifically, I argue that AAs are seen as more robot-like compared to other racial groups in the U.S., which may explain some of the negative workplace treatments they face. To test this phenomenon, I conducted a set of five pre-registered studies to examine the extent to which AAs tend to be more mechanistically dehumanized than other racial groups in the U.S., and its workplace implications. In a pilot study (N = 1,003), the results revealed that East, South, and Southeast AAs tended to be mechanistically dehumanized and internalized this dehumanization more than other groups. In Study 1 (Study 1a, N= 255; Study 1b, N = 427), a survey and experimental study provided support that AA coworkers are more mechanistically dehumanized than White American coworkers, and this mediated the relationship between coworker race and negative work outcomes (e.g., less perceived leadership potential, more exploitative treatment, and less workplace friendship). In another survey study, Study 2 (N = 473) found that mechanistic dehumanization exhibited incremental validity in predicting negative work outcomes for AAs, above and beyond MMS and PFS. Finally, in Study 3 (N = 477), an all-Asian sample found that AAs’ internalization of mechanistic dehumanization predicted more negative work outcomes (e.g., increased burnout, less workplace friendship), above and beyond MMS and PFS. Altogether, the current work supports a mechanistic dehumanization account of bias against AAs, reveals racial subgroup differences, and provides a novel explanation for why AAs experience certain workplace inequities. </p>

Life in today’s world is characterized by complexity and rapid change. Twenty-first century skills and especially mathematical understanding are supposed to crucially contribute to meeting the demands of our world since mathematics offers strategies to structure or simplify complex problems. An open question is which teaching practices are appropriate to provide all students with such skills and to broaden the participation of underprivileged students. The present article explores these aspects by focusing on complex tasks, a practice that can be considered highly accepted in the context of mathematics education all over the world. We will concentrate on the perspective of the German mathematics education community as the foundation of our considerations. Based on an analytical investigation of mathematical literacy and twenty-first century skills (such as creativity, critical thinking, or problem-solving), we will address central ideas and characteristics of complex mathematical tasks. To complement the analytical approach, we will illustrate their characteristics as well as possible intersections with twenty-first century skills by presenting an elementary school teaching experiment. Finally, we will critically discuss the potentials and pitfalls of complex mathematical tasks from an abstract perspective and conclude by debating practical consequences for organizing mathematical learning-teaching-processes.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of female senior managers in technology organizations and understand how they feel about themselves, their roles and their technology organizations. The study highlights the issues faced by women working in a gendered role, a masculine industry and a non-western, strong patriarchal society. Methodology/Design: A qualitative research methodology was adopted for this study. Eleven semi-structured interviews were used to collect empirical data from women senior managers in Nigerian technology organizations, which was thematically analyzed. Findings: The findings from this study indicate that women in technology are no longer reluctant to progress in this gendered career. Women technology leaders are ambitious and driven to scale the semantic barriers to top management roles. They experience workplace discrimination, insecurities and work-family conflicts, but do not punish themselves for sometimes dropping the ball. Rather, they show up to take on daunting assignments that prove their competence and choose to lead assertively in order to align their core values with the expectations of their role. Research Implications: This thesis makes a contribution to the wider literature on women leaders in technology by providing new insights on the role of patriarchal institutions in technology leadership, from a developing country in Africa. Practical Implications: Practical contributions are to support aspiring women in technology to fine-tune their leadership strategies in order to succeed in this gendered career and become beneficiaries of the vast opportunities in this dynamic industry. For technology organizations, to understand the issues faced by women leaders so that they can support women’s career aspirations by implementing and managing policies that support skilled and high-potential women employees to fulfill their career aspirations, and become change agents at the top management level. These efforts will disrupt stereotypes, change the narrative of inequalities in this industry and improve firm performance. Originality: This study is the first of its kind to focus on the role of patriarchal structures on women leaders’ careers in the technology industry within the context of an African society, which is rare in the literature on women leaders in technology.

Betondecken sind materialintensive Biegetragwerke, wenn sie, wie derzeit üblich, eben und aus einer Betonsorte hergestellt werden. Die Materialien sind dadurch nur an wenigen Stellen maximal und effizient ausgenutzt. Die vorliegende Dissertation greift ein daraus resultierendes Optimierungspotential auf. Eine verbesserte Ausnutzung der Baustoffe Beton und Stahl gelingt durch einen dreischichtigen Querschnittsaufbau. Dabei nehmen die beiden äußeren Betonschichten mit der eingebrachten Stahlbewehrung vor allem die Beanspruchungen aus Biegung und die Kernschicht aus Schub auf. Als Kernschichtmaterial kommen dabei Leichtbetone zur Anwendung. Der Fokus liegt auf der Untersuchung von schlaff bewehrten, einachsig gespannten, einfeldrigen Flachdecken des gewöhnlichen Wohnungs- und Bürobaus. In der Arbeit wird ein Überblick über den aktuellen Entwicklungsstand und die bereits vorliegenden Forschungsarbeiten zu geschichteten, sandwichartigen Betondecken gegeben. Sie geht auf die Eigenschaften von Beton, Stahl und Stahlbeton und ausführlich auf den Verbund zwischen Betonschichten ein, der die Tragfähigkeit geschichteter Betondecken besonders beeinflusst. Anschließend werden verschiedene Bauteilzustände erläutert und die Versagensarten, die bei geschichteten Elementen auftreten können, vorgestellt. Dazu gehören maßgeblich das Biegezug- und Biegedruckversagen sowie das Biegeschub- und Fugenversagen. Es werden sowohl Formeln zur Berechnung von Durchbiegungen im Gebrauchszustand als auch von Bruchlasten in Abhängigkeit der Versagensart bereitgestellt. Auch sind Rechenansätze zur Beurteilung des Bauteilzustandes infolge des unterschiedlichen Schwindens der Betone aufgeführt.

[EN] The fundamental social and economic transformation of the XIX century "Revival" allowed for a truly astonishing number of hundreds of reconstructed or newly-built churches throughout Macedonia. Based on their architectural typology, they comprise a specific architectural "school", established and developed in the XIX century. Extracting its basic forms and patterns from the layers of the Byzantine millennial tradition, paired with stylistic elements from the renaissance, baroque, rococo, Levantine baroque and classicist movement acquired through the intensified contacts of the Macedonian master-builders with the contemporary Western and Central European architecture, this unique "Revival" architecture created its own recognizable vocabulary equally legible in the case of the monumental urban cathedrals as well as the modest village churches built with far less available means. Several basic broad categories emerged within this architectural school: single-nave, three-nave and five-nave basilicas, domed single-nave basilicas and combined typological solutions, predominant in different regions of Macedonia, characteristic for its urban centers as opposed to the monastic communities or rural settlements. Furthermore, these basic manifestations of the basilica encompassed a rich variety of specific sub-typologies derived from their upper construction: a variety of multiple diverse combinations of architrave and coffered ceilings, barrel, groined and boat vaults, blind domes and fully manifested domes elevated upon drums, protruding through the monumental gabled roof covering the entire naos, with the rare exception of the basilica with a central nave clerestory. In addition to their similar architectural composition, the Revival churches also regularly incorporate a meticulous decorative repertoire: stone reliefs, especially within the context of the entrance portals; an exceptionally abundant interior decoration - a tall two or three-tier wood carved iconostasis, adorned with multiple icons and intricate church furnishing set against a background of fresco-painted surfaces, all derived from the diverse contemporary currents within the canonic ancient Byzantine and post-Byzantine artistic traditions. / [ES] La profunda transformación social y económica del movimiento conocido como "Renacimiento del siglo XIX" permitió la construcción o renovación de un número verdaderamente asombroso de cientos de iglesias en toda Macedonia. Basándose en su tipología arquitectónica, éstas conforman una "escuela" arquitectónica específica que se estableció y desarrolló en el siglo XIX. Extrayendo sus formas y patrones básicos de la tradición milenaria bizantina, combinados con elementos estilísticos del movimiento renacentista, barroco, rococó, barroco levantino y clasicista adquiridos a través de la intensificación del contacto de los maestros constructores macedonios con la arquitectura contemporánea de Europa Central y Occidental, esta arquitectura única creó su propio vocabulario reconocible, igualmente legible en el caso de las catedrales urbanas monumentales, así como en las modestas iglesias de aldea construidas con medios mucho menos disponibles. Varias categorías generales básicas surgieron dentro de esta escuela de arquitectura: basílicas de una, tres y cinco naves, basílicas con cúpula y soluciones tipológicas combinadas, predominantes en diferentes regiones de Macedonia, características de sus centros urbanos en contraposición a las comunidades monásticas o asentamientos rurales. Además, estas manifestaciones de la basílica abarcaron una diversa variedad de sub-tipologías específicas derivadas de su construcción superior: múltiples combinaciones de techos artesonados, bóvedas de cañón, de arista y de barco, cúpulas ciegas o elevadas sobre tambores que sobresalen a través de las predominantes cubiertas a dos aguas. Además de su similar composición arquitectónica, las iglesias "renacentistas" del siglo XIX también incorporan regularmente un meticuloso repertorio decorativo: relieves de piedra, especialmente en el contexto de los portales de entrada; una decoración interior excepcionalmente abundante: iconostasios altos de dos o tres niveles tallados en madera, adornados con múltiples íconos y mobiliarios intrincados sobre un fondo de superficies pintadas al fresco, todo derivado de las diversas corrientes contemporáneas dentro de la antigua canónica tradición artística bizantina y post-bizantina. / [CAT] La profunda transformació social i econòmica del moviment conegut com a "Renaixement del segle XIX" va permetre la construcció o renovació d'un nombre veritablement sorprenent de centenars d'esglésies a tota Macedònia.

A més de la seua similar composició arquitectònica, les esglésies "renaixentistes" també incorporen regularment un meticulós repertori decoratiu: relleus de pedra, especialment en el context dels portals d'entrada; decoració interior excepcionalment abundant: iconòstasis alts de dos o tres nivells tallats en fusta, adornats amb múltiples icones i mobiliaris intricats sobre un fons de superfícies pintades a la fresca, tot derivat de les diversos corrents contemporanis dins de l'antiga canònica tradició artística bizantina i postbizantina. / Apostolova Chalovska, E.

Architecture in its primitive form enacted a relationship of making between intentions and outcome. Post- industrialized modernization has created a multiplication of complexities, resulting in a profession that has disengaged theory and practice through the specialization of the architect and the craftsman. Design-build has the ability to be an educational process that re-engages a direct dialog and collaboration of the roles of designer and maker, reinforcing the resilience of culture and place through joining intentions and built reality. Design-build projects have the ability to be an integral part of design education because of their ability to engage in physical manifestation that is fundamentally different than formal education of designing through drawing or design at a distance. Exploring the Washington Alexandria Architecture Center's Design-Build ethos as a primary case study, I intend to support this claim by providing evidence of how a Design-Build process can engage the designer, tools, methods, and materials, with the cultural, social, and environmental context that is sensible to place. By utilizing creativity and ingenuity of available resources as an opportunity for adaptation, an organic sense of place is perceptible, the place is created. Representation beyond drawing encourages one to be proactive in connecting the qualities and characteristics of existing space; this leads to a sustainable practice of continued investment in object, materiality, time, and place. Hybrid approaches to design, or the assembly of both design and building as an academic practice, are no longer insular, but are encouraged as a way to interrelate and connect the built environment with its unbuilt opportunities and impressions. / Master of Architecture / Architecture in its primitive form enacted a relationship of making between intentions and outcome.
