Im vorliegenden Aufsatz werden im Rahmen einer explorativen Analyse Quellen zu den Anforderungen in den Berufen des Marketings sowie IT, Medien und Kommunikation im Allgemeinen evaluiert. Dabei wird offenkundig, dass es eine Vielzahl von empirisch-basierten Methoden zur Erfassung von Arbeitgeberanforderungen an solche Berufsbilder gibt. Gleichzeitig existieren nur sehr wenige solche Untersuchungen für Berufsbilder des Marketings im deutschsprachigen Raum. Als Ergebnis der Analyse wird ein breites Forschungsdesiderat formuliert, das auch gesellschaftliche Aspekte von erwähnten Arbeitgeberanforderungen thematisiert.
Der Beitrag stellt am Beispiel von studentischen Projekt- und Praxisarbeiten aus den bibliothekswissenschaftlichen Studiengängen der TH Köln Möglichkeiten der Erstellung von E-Learning-Angeboten vor, die sich in kurzer Zeit und ohne finanzielles Budget realisieren lassen. Der Fokus liegt dabei auf unkonventionellen Darstellungsformen wie bspw. Comic-artigen Animationsfilmen oder der Präsentation bibliothekarischer Inhalte nach dem Modell von „Sommers Weltliteratur“. Der Beitrag möchte Bibliotheken dazu anregen, im Kontext des E-Learning mit neuen Formaten zu experimentieren, die dazu beitragen können, die Attraktivität der bibliothekarischen Angebote zu erhöhen und die sich gleichzeitig mit geringem zeitlichem und finanziellem Aufwand realisieren lassen.
Through constant technical progress, multi-user virtual reality is transforming towards a social activity that is no longer only used by remote users, but also in large-scale location-based experiences. We evaluate the usage of realtime-tracked avatars in co-located business-oriented applications in a "guide-user-scenario" in comparison to audio only instructions. The present study examined the effect of an avatar-guide on the user-related factors of Spatial Presence, Social Presence, User Experience and Task Load in order to propose design guidelines for co-located collaborative immersive virtual environments. Therefore, an application was developed and a user study with 40 participants was conducted in order to compare both guiding techniques of a realtime-tracked avatar guide and a non-visualised guide with otherwise constant conditions. Results reveal that the avatar-guide enhanced and stimulated communicative processes while facilitating interaction possibilities and creating a higher sense of mental immersion for users. Furthermore, the avatar-guide appeared to make the storyline more engaging and exciting while helping users adapt to the medium of virtual reality. Even though no assertion could be made concerning the Task Load factor, the avatar-guide achieved a higher subjective value on User Experience. Due to the results, avatars can be considered valuable social elements in the design of future co-located collaborative virtual environments.
Computational investigation of hemodynamics in hardshell venous reservoirs: A comparative study
(2019)
Extracorporeal circulation using heart‐lung‐machines is associated with a profound activation of corpuscular and plasmatic components of circulating blood, which can also lead to deleterious events such as systemic inflammatory response and hemolysis. Individual components used to install the extracorporeal circulation have an impact on the level of activation, most predominantly membrane oxygenators and hardshell venous reservoirs as used in extracorporeal systems. The blood flows in two different hardshell reservoirs are computationally investigated. A special emphasis is placed on the prediction of an onset of transition and turbulence generation. Reynolds‐averaged numerical simulations (RANS) based on a transitional turbulence model, as well as large eddy simulations (LES) are applied to achieve an accurate prediction. In the LES analysis, the non‐Newtonian behavior of the blood is considered via the Carreau model. Blood damage potential is quantified applying the Modified Index of Hemolysis (MIH) based on the predicted flow fields. The results indicate that the flows in both reservoirs remain predominantly laminar. For one of the reservoirs, considerable turbulence generation is observed near the exit site, caused by the specific design for the connection with the drainage tube. This difference causes the MIH of this reservoir to be nearly twice as large as compared to the alternative design. However, a substantial improvement of these performance criteria can be expected by a local geometry modification.
