However, to rely on information and decisions derived from model predictions, it is essential to establish model credibility for the specific context of use. Limited regulatory requirements and lack of consensus on the level of verification and validation activities required result in rare use of CMS as a source of evidence in the medical device approval process. The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) developed a risk-informed framework to establish appropriate credibility requirements of a computational model: the ASME V\&V 40?2018 standard. This paper aims to outline the concepts of this standard and to demonstrate its application using an example from the orthotics field. The necessary steps to establish model credibility for a custom?made 3D printed wrist hand orthosis (WHO) are presented. It is shown that the credibility requirements of each verification and validation activity depend on model risk by applying two different contexts of use to the same computational model.}, language = {en} } @article{KlemmBeckerTocklothetal.2023, author = {Klemm, Christian and Becker, Gregor and Tockloth, Jan N. and Budde, Janik and Vennemann, Peter}, title = {The Spreadsheet Energy System Model Generator (SESMG): A tool for the optimization of urban energy systems}, series = {Journal of Open Source Software}, volume = {8}, journal = {Journal of Open Source Software}, number = {89}, issn = {2475-9066}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17084}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-170845}, pages = {5519}, year = {2023}, abstract = {The Spreadsheet Energy System Model Generator (SESMG) is a tool for modeling and optimizing energy systems with a focus on urban systems.

Design/methodology/approach A quantitative research design was adopted for this study. The paper formulates hypotheses from the literature review. These hypotheses are tested using structural equation modeling with data collected from 231 SMEs in Uganda. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 23 and AMOS. Findings The findings of this study showed technology orientation has a positive and significant relationship with the performance of Ugandan SMEs and that supply chain agility moderates technology orientation and export performance. Research limitations/implications The study discusses the findings, advances limitations and managerial implications. It also suggests future research avenues. It proposes some recommendations to help Ugandan SMEs to form flexible supply chains, use the latest technology and create strong relationship ties with their partners in the supply chain. Practical implications The study suggests that managers of Ugandan SMEs should use the latest technology in production, marketing, logistics and supply chain management which will enable them to respond quickly to customer tastes and preferences leading to higher levels of export performance. Originality/value This study contributes to the literature on strategic management showing the reliability of scales used and the confirmatory of the factor structure. This study shows that in strategic management technology, orientation is critical in increasing export performance.

This paper mainly focuses on analyzing this potential. Field tests were conducted to investigate the irrigation behavior and the storage effect of a storm water tree pit system using Perl hoses as irrigation elements over a period of two years. The rainfall, storage volumes, and soil moisture within the employed planting pit were measured. With the help of system modeling, the retention ability of the storm water tree pit system was analyzed. The available storage volume was sufficient to irrigate trees for several days. During the measurement period, about 15\% of the inflowing rainwater was fed to the root zone of the tree. With practical storage volumes of 200 to 300 m3/ha, a remarkable amount of water from heavy rainfall could be completely stored, thus significantly reducing the risk of flooding. The retention effect and irrigation behavior largely depend on the soil conditions and the technical possibilities of the equipment supplying the root area (in this case, Perl hoses). Further investigations are required to determine the influence on the growth conditions of trees and optimize of the system for discharge into the root zone.}, language = {en} } @incollection{Duetthorn2023, author = {D{\"u}tthorn, Nadin}, title = {Serious Games im Schlaglicht pflegedidaktischer Anspr{\"u}che}, series = {Pflegedidaktik im {\"U}berblick - Zwischen Transformation und Diffussion}, booktitle = {Pflegedidaktik im {\"U}berblick - Zwischen Transformation und Diffussion}, editor = {Von Gahlen-Hoops, Wolfgang and Grenz, Katharina}, publisher = {Transcript}, isbn = {78-3-8376-6455-3}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16457}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-164573}, publisher = {FH M{\"u}nster - University of Applied Sciences}, pages = {49 -- 68}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @article{FisherBonaccioConnelly2023, author = {Fisher, Sandra and Bonaccio, Silvia and Connelly, Catherine}, title = {Reactions of Applicants with Disabilities to Technology-Enabled Recruitment and Selection: A Research Agenda}, series = {International Journal of Selection and Assessment}, journal = {International Journal of Selection and Assessment}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-17710}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-177102}, year = {2023}, language = {en} } @article{Mueller2023, author = {M{\"u}ller, Carsten}, title = {Personality Traits and Physical Activity: Insights from German University Students}, series = {European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education}, volume = {13}, journal = {European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education}, number = {8}, doi = {10.25974/fhms-16872}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-168729}, pages = {1423 -- 1440}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This study explores the intriguing relationship between personality traits, self-rated fitness (SRF), and physical activity (PA) variables among German university students (N = 4244) and sheds light on the impact of personality on adherence to PA guidelines. Employing an online cross-sectional study, the short-form of the Big Five Inventory-2 assessed five domains of personality traits (Extraversion, Negative Emotionality, Agreeableness, conscientiousness, and Open-Mindedness). PA, including sitting time, was assessed using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire (short-form). SRF and muscle-strengthening activities (MSA) were assessed with one item each. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses examined associations of individual personality trait domains and all domains combined with SFR, PA variables, and adherence to PA guidelines, controlling for sociodemographic, behavioral, and (mental) health covariates. Most reliably, Extraversion and Conscientiousness revealed positive associations with PA variables, while Negative Emotionality yielded inverse relationships with PA variables. For instance, each unit increase in Extraversion corresponded to an additional 17 min of weekly MSA. On the contrary, daily sitting time was unrelated to personality. Of note, high Open-Mindedness was associated with lower odds for adhering to current PA guidelines. The findings have implications for developing targeted interventions that promote a physically active lifestyle and support students' well-being and academic success.}, language = {en} } @article{Sommer2023, author = {Sommer, Philipp}, title = {Open-Power System Modelling - A Review of Existing Methods and Models}, series = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, journal = {Educational Journal of Renewable Energy Short Reviews}, doi = {10.25974/ren_rev_2023_04}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:836-opus-172636}, pages = {21 -- 26}, year = {2023}, abstract = {This review paper presents a short overview of current power system modelling tools especially used for analysing energy and electricity systems for the supply and demand sector.

It is important to examine the impact of wind turbines on the environment to see if they provide a net benefit and to identify potential for improving. Therefore life cycle assessments (LCA) of different wind turbine types are compared in this short review. The results are then shown side by side in tables for comparison. Overall the LCAs show that wind turbines compensate the required energy and emitted pollutants after approx. 6-16 months. The energy payback period (EPP) for 2 MW onshore wind turbines remained roughly the same since 2009 with approximately 7 months. Onshore wind turbines have a higher impact due to emissions but a shorter EPP than offshore wind turbines. The estimated service life of 20 years should be maximized to ensure a high energy yield ratio. The biggest impact on the environment results from the processes to provide the building material e.g. steel and cement. That impact could be reduced by 20 \% if recycled steel would be used. It is shown that wind power is one of the cleanest energy sources. But further investigations in material processing and recycling are important to improve the eco-balance of wind turbines.}, language = {en} }
