    Abstract: The paper describes the current situation concerning career opportunities in the field of architecture in developed western countries. Several aspects that are almost universal mark this situation. Firstly, there are too many architects chasing traditional work in competition with other engineers. Secondly, the needs of the building industry have changed over the past years so that the skills that architects are able to offer are not necessarily those that are sought. Lastly, the constant specialisation of work has continued unabated. Architects, as generalists, have seen their areas of expertise be usurped from neighbouring fields. The situation is not lost, so long as architects are able to recognise what is desired from the point of view of the client and what is desired from the point of view of the architect. For educators, it must be clear that the real potential architects possess is their encompassing knowledge of the building information. Architectural Information Management is a necessary skill to be taught alongside the more traditional architectural skills. A brief outlook as to how this might come about is detailed in the paper. The authors propose didactic steps to achieve this. Primarily, the education of computer supported planning should not simply end with a series of lectures or seminars, but culminate in integrated Design Studios (which include Design-Build scenarios).

    Abstract: Liver damage associated with hepatitis C (HCV) may influence the likelihood of experiencing discontinuation due to toxicities or patient/physician choice (TOXPC) in patients taking combination antiretroviral therapy (cART). Little information to address this concern is available from clinical trials as patients with HCV are often excluded. Aims To compare incidence rates of discontinuation due to TOXPC associated with specific antiretrovial drugs in patients with or without HCV. Patients/methods A total of 4929 patients from EuroSIDA under follow-up from January 1999 on a specific nucleoside pair (zidovudine/lamivudine, didanosine/stavudine, stavudine/lamivudine, or other) with a third drug (abacavir, nelfinavir, indinavir, nevirapine, efavirenz, lopinavir/ ritonavir or other boosted-protease inhibitor (PI)-containing regimen) and with known HCV serostatus were studied for the incidence of discontinuation of any nucleoside pair or third drug due to TOXPC. Incidence rate ratios were derived from Poisson regression models. Results In total 1358 patients had HCV (27.5%). During 12 799 person-years of follow-up there were 2141 discontinuations due to TOXPC for nucleoside pairs and 2501 for third drugs. The incidence of discontinuation due to TOXPC was consistently higher in patients with HCV after stratification by nucleoside pair or third drug. After adjustment for CD4 + count, gender, exposure group, time on HAART, region and treatment regimen, there were few differences in the rate of discontinuation due to TOXPC in those with HCV compared with those without for any nucleoside pairs or third drugs. Similar results were seen when concentrating on discontinuation due to toxicities alone. Conclusions Although patients with HCV generally had higher rates of discontinuation due to TOXPC compared with patients without HCV, there was little evidence to suggest that this was associated with any specific nucleoside pair or third drug used as part of cART. Our results do not suggest that any specific component of cART is more poorly tolerated in patients with HCV or that the presence of HCV should influence the choice between antiretrovirals used as part of a cART regimen.

    Abstract: Research has shown that backward masking is a powerful tool for studying unconscious mental processes. Whereas studies have traditionally presented stimuli using cathode-ray tube (CRT) monitors or mechanical shutters together with slide projectors, recent studies (mainly in functional magnetic resonance imaging, fMRI) have begun to use methods based on liquid crystal displays (LCDs) and thin-film transistor (TFT) technology. However, because of differences in technology, all methods may not be equally suited for masking. When methods were compared for their accuracy in presenting pictures at short durations, LCD and TFT presentations had poor accuracy, but shutter and CRT presentations had better accuracy. Because CRTs interfere with the imaging process in fMRI, we recommend the use of mechanical shutters. However, our results may not generally apply to all displays, so we advise researchers to validate the presentation parameters of their displays. The procedure described here may be useful for that purpose.

    In: Group Analysis, SAGE Publications, Vol. 55, No. 3 ( 2022-09), p. 391-406
    Abstract: What perceptions do group participants have about silent observers, what transferences are involved, what function can the listeners have for the group? In an anonymous survey and evaluation based on content analysis, almost all participants reported positive, and two thirds also negative impressions and perceptions. Observers were perceived as being familiar or supportive and as threatening or constraining to an approximately equal extent. There was no outright demonization or perception of a divide between the group leader(s) and the observers, as described in the older literature. Group participants also appear to perceive observers as representatives of their own superego, which are ‘silenced’.

    Abstract: Fatigue crack growth is one of the most common damage mechanisms of structural components and can result in a sudden and unexpected abrupt fracture which can cause catastrophic failure. Thus, monitoring of crack propagation is an important topic of structural health monitoring. For that reason, this work aims at the detection of crack propagation by the application of a high-frequency vibration-based method, using the electromechanical admittance (EMA). It enables the local monitoring of the coupled dynamic behavior of the structure and the piezoelectric transducer which changes, for example, due to damage. It is the purpose of this study to develop a method from the recorded data reflecting fatigue crack growth in weld zones. As it is known that the data are affected by temperature, a temperature compensation strategy is considered. In this study, a presentation of the coupled EMA data has been found, which allows the isolation of the crack propagation effects. Within the scope of fatigue experiments, fatigue cracks were introduced into threaded bolts of rail support points, welded onto base plates. In practice, they are embedded in a layer of mortar and, therefore, have poor accessibility. Electromechanical impedance measurements were carried out at different states of fatigue crack growth. The fatigue crack growth was validated by strain gauge measurements executed during the fatigue experiment. The proposed feature was calculated from the recorded EMA data. The technique produces promising results detecting fatigue cracks and can also be transferred to similar types of welded joints or rods where fatigue crack growth occurs.

    Abstract: Abstract – The objective of this panel was to discuss issues related to the development and use of autonomous systems, with specific focus on the overriding themes of ethical considerations and potential liability for Human Factors and Ergonomics (HF/E) professionals who are involved in their development. Chris Brill provided opening remarks to frame the discussion and introduce the panelists. James Bliss discussed legal implications related to our collective penchant for developing conservative, false-alarm prone automation. Peter Hancock advocated for human-centered constraints on autonomous systems, as they may, one day, pose an existential threat to humanity. Dietrich Manzey discussed ethical considerations for autonomous systems, including how design can encourage ethical user behavior. Joachim Meyer argued that HF/E professionals have an obligation to help designers understand the ethical implications of poor design, particularly in the context of autonomous systems. Lastly, Alison Vredenburgh provided thoughts on potential liability for HF/E professionals, particularly in light of the relative newness of autonomous systems. The panel then turned to facilitated discussion with panelists and audience members. Specific themes included the boundaries of our responsibilities as HF/E professionals for ill-conceived or morally-objectionable systems, potential implications of manipulating user trust through design, cross-cultural perspectives on public acceptance and legal peril, and how concerns might differ by domain (e.g., medical vs. combat vs. manufacturing). The session concluded with panelists summarizing how ethics influence design and recommendations for how HF/E professionals can potentially protect themselves from legal liability for mishaps involving autonomous systems they helped develop.

    Abstract: Objective: This study explores the interactions among phases of team coordination, patient-related information, decision-making levels, and role holders in intensive care units (ICUs). Background: The effects of communication improvement initiatives on adverse patient events or improved outcomes have been difficult to establish. Conceptual inconsistencies and methodological shortcomings suggest insufficient understanding about clinical communication and care coordination. Method: Data were collected by shadowing a charge nurse, fellow, resident, and nurse in each of eight ICUs and recording each of their conversations during 12 hrs (32 role holders during 350 hrs). Results: Hierarchical log linear analyses show statistically significant three-way interactions between the patient information, phases of team coordination, and decision levels, χ 2 ( df = 75) = 212, p 〈 .0001; between roles, phases of team coordination, and decision levels, χ 2 ( df = 60) = 109, p 〈 .0001; and between roles, patient information, and decision levels, χ 2 ( df = 60) = 155, p 〈 .0001. Differences among levels of the variables were evaluated with the use of standardized parameter estimates and 95% confidence intervals. Conclusion: ICU communication and care coordination involve complex decision structures and role interactions across two information spaces. Different role holders mediate vertical and lateral process flows with goals and directions representing an important conceptual transition. However, lateral isolation within decision levels (charge nurses) and information overload (residents) are potential communication and care coordination vulnerabilities. Results are consistent with and extend the findings of previous studies. Application: The profile of ICU communication and care coordination provides a systemic framework that may inform future interventions and research.

    Connective Tissue Growth Factor Is Involved in Structural Retinal Vascular Changes in Long-Term Experimental Diabetes

    Abstract: Early retinal vascular changes in the development of diabetic retinopathy (DR) include capillary basal lamina (BL) thickening, pericyte loss and the development of acellular capillaries. Expression of the CCN (connective tissue growth factor/cysteine-rich 61/nephroblastoma overexpressed) family member CCN2 or connective tissue growth factor (CTGF), a potent inducer of the expression of BL components, is upregulated early in diabetes. Diabetic mice lacking one functional CTGF allele (CTGF +/− ) do not show this BL thickening. As early events in DR may be interrelated, we hypothesized that CTGF plays a role in the pathological changes of retinal capillaries other than BL thickening. We studied the effects of long-term (6-8 months) streptozotocin-induced diabetes on retinal capillary BL thickness, numbers of pericytes and the development of acellular capillaries in wild type and CTGF +/− mice. Our results show that an absence of BL thickening of retinal capillaries in long-term diabetic CTGF +/− mice is associated with reduced pericyte dropout and reduced formation of acellular capillaries. We conclude that CTGF is involved in structural retinal vascular changes in diabetic rodents. Inhibition of CTGF in the eye may therefore be protective against the development of DR.
