Basics of Project Management

Due to highly sophisticated, specialised models and data in production, digital twins, as defined as full digital representations, are neither computationally feasible nor useful. The complementary concept of digital shadows will provide cross-domain data access in real time by combining reduced engineering models and production data analytics.
A record of morbidity and medical request profiles in international humanitarian aid, taking the earthquake in BAM in Iran in 2003 as an example Objective: With the humanitarian work of the International Red Cross after the earthquake in BAM, Iran, it should be noted that international and national cooperation is possible according to recognised standards and concepts, and therefore morbidity records can be included uniformly in the context of day to day work even in post disaster situations. The data ascertained show changes in the disease spectrum. Basic health provision according to the primary health care concept has priority in the post disaster response (> 6 days) of the earthquake compared to more surgically oriented medical acute aid from abroad. Material and methodology: In the international consensus conference at the beginning of January 2004, uniform morbidity recording was fixed to simple standardised case definitions. The recording of traumatic, infectious and non-infectious diseases was carried out during the routine work in the out-patient facilities of the emergency response units of January 3 to 31, 2004 . Examination was according to the following indicators: Proportional morbidities, sum of the proportional morbidities. Results and discussion: 16677 new cases were included in the complete examination time period. The health facility rate only gradually increased. Temporal fluctuations in the numbers treated may be caused by secondary care of the injured, by a possible lack of accessibility (transport problems) or an increased acceptance of facilities. A written specification of the case definitions was not carried out in BAM, and so a comparison is not possible for recorded morbidities at the same time, and consistency cannot be reached for some of the data. Nine diagnoses/categories cover 98.68% of the consultations in the complete time period. Non-traumatic health problems predominate for the whole of the month. The category "others" is too high with 57.94%. Therefore, it may be assumed that certain diagnoses were overestimated, underestimated or not recognised. Vulnerable groups (children, women, the old), were not completely included. Conclusion: Standards and guidelines for health care in humanitarian aid exist, and are of help during planning, decision finding, execution and communication. Data acquisition instruments (registering books and patient files) should be developed and standardised by national and international humanitarian groups. The recording of morbidity is a simple instrument in the context of out-patient facilities with valuable information for further work during catastrophes.
Following the recent Internet of Things-induced
trends on digitization in general, industrial applications will further evolve as well. With a focus on the domains of manufacturing
and production, the Internet of Production pursues the vision of
a digitized, globally interconnected, yet secure environment by
establishing a distributed knowledge base.
Background. As part of our collaborative research of advancing
the scope of industrial applications through cybersecurity and
privacy, we identified a set of common challenges and pitfalls
that surface in such applied interdisciplinary collaborations.
Aim. Our goal with this paper is to support researchers in
the emerging field of cybersecurity in industrial settings by
formalizing our experiences as reference for other research
efforts, in industry and academia alike.
Method. Based on our experience, we derived a process cycle of
performing such interdisciplinary research, from the initial idea
to the eventual dissemination and paper writing. This presented
methodology strives to successfully bootstrap further research
and to encourage further work in this emerging area.
Results. Apart from our newly proposed process cycle, we report
on our experiences and conduct a case study applying this
methodology, raising awareness for challenges in cybersecurity
research for industrial applications. We further detail the interplay between our process cycle and the data lifecycle in
applied research data management. Finally, we augment our
discussion with an industrial as well as an academic view on
this research area and highlight that both areas still have
to overcome significant challenges to sustainably and securely
advance industrial applications.
Conclusions. With our proposed process cycle for interdisciplinary research in the intersection of cybersecurity and industrial application, we provide a foundation for further research.
We look forward to promising research initiatives, projects, and
directions that emerge based on our methodological work.
Study Programme Development

The PAQAF – the Pan-African Quality Assurance and Accreditation Framework – is an overarching framework for several action lines and instruments related to the convergence of the African Higher Education sector, and more specifically quality assurance and accreditation. It was adopted by the Specialized Technical Committee (STC) on Education, Science and Technology of the African Union Assembly in 2016. The implementation of some of the PAQAF’s action lines and the development of some of its instruments has been supported by the HAQAA initiative from 2015 to 2018 and is currently continued in the context of HAAQA2. Module 1 gives an overview of the PAQAF's deveopment and action lines.
