Der Einfluss kinematischer Parameter auf den Energiebedarf eines Regalbediengerätes

Bisher wurde noch nicht erforscht wie sich die Variation kinematischer Parameter konkret auf den Energiebedarf von Regalbediengeräten auswirkt. Dieser Beitrag untersucht daher die energetischen Folgen bei unterschiedlichen Geschwindigkeiten und Beschleunigungen der Antriebe eines Regalbediengerätes. Veränderte Geschwindigkeiten und Beschleunigungen beeinflussen jedoch auch die Fahr- und Hubzeiten des Regalbediengerätes. Daher wird ebenfalls eine Berechnungsmethode vorgestellt, mit der der optimale Startpunkt des Hubwerkes und die optimale Fahrgeschwindigkeit auf Basis der eingestellten kinematischen Parameter berechnet werden können.

Dynamische Standsicherheit von Portalstaplern

Der Artikel beschreibt die Untersuchung der dynamischen Standsicherheit von Portalstaplern. Dazu wurde ein aktueller repräsentativer Portalstapler analysiert und in ein Mehrkörper-Simulationsmodell abgebildet. Die Validierung des Modells erfolgte auf Basis von Messfahrten am realen System. Aus den durchgeführten Simulationsstudien wurden technische Verbesserungsmaßnahmen abgeleitet, welche die dynamische Standsicherheit von Portalstaplern erhöhen.

Neue Generation von Aufzügen mit Faserseil

Energieeffiziente und leistungsfähige Zug- und Tragmittel aus hochmoduligen (HM) und hochfesten (HT) Fasern rücken seit einigen Jahren in den Fokus von Aufzugherstellern und Betreibern. Hauptgrund dafür ist, das die bisher eingesetzten Stahldrahtseile auf Grund ihrer vergleichsweise hohen Eigenmasse an technische Grenzen stoßen. Seile aus hochfesten Polymerfasern haben gegenüber Stahldrahtseilen eine vergleichbare oder sogar höhere Zugfestigkeit und ein vier- bis sechsfach geringeres Gewicht. Um das Potential dieser Fasern optimal auszunutzen, sind sowohl die Anordnung der Fasern als auch die Schmierstoffeinbringung zu untersuchen. Diesbezüglich wurden verschiedenen Seilkonstruktions- und Schmierstoffvarianten entwickelt und im Dauerbiegeversuch validiert.

Socio-Economic Perspectives on Shifting Cultivation Landscapes in Northern Laos

Despite the rapid agricultural transition that has occurred in the past decade, shifting cultivation remains a widespread agricultural practice in the northern uplands of Lao PDR. Little information is available on the basic socio-economic situation and respective possible patterns in shifting cultivation landscapes on a regional level. On the basis of a recent approximation of the extent of shifting cultivation landscapes for two time periods and disaggregated village level census data, this paper characterizes these landscapes in terms of key socioeconomic parameters for the whole of northern Laos. Results showed that over 550,000 people live in shifting cultivation regions. The poverty rate of this population of 46.5 % is considerably higher than the national rural rate. Most shifting cultivation landscapes are located in remote locations and a high share of the population comprises ethnic minorities, pointing to multi-dimensional marginality of these areas. We discuss whether economic growth and increased market accessibility are sufficient to lift these landscapes out of poverty.

Nerve Transfers for Persistent Traumatic Peroneal Nerve Palsy: The Inselspital Bern Experience

BACKGROUND Patients in whom conventional peroneal nerve repair surgery failed to reconstitute useful foot lift need to be evaluated for their suitability to undergo a concomitant tendon transfer procedure or nerve transfers. OBJECTIVE To report our first clinical experience with nerve transfers for persistent traumatic peroneal nerve palsy. METHODS Between 2007 and 2013, 8 patients were operated on for foot drop after unsuccessful nerve surgery. Six patients without fatty degeneration of the anterior tibial muscle and proximal lesion of the peroneal nerve were oriented for tibial to peroneal nerve transfer. In the other 2 cases where the anterior and lateral compartments were destructed, the anterior tibial muscle function was reconstructed with a neurotized lateral gastrocnemius transfer. For each patient, we graded postoperative results using the Bureau of Meteorology Research Centre scheme and the Ninkovic assessment scale. RESULTS Of the 6 patients who underwent nerve transfer of the anterior tibial muscle, 2 patients had excellent results, 1 patient had good results, 1 patient had fair results, and 2 patients had poor results. Of the 2 patients that underwent neurotized lateral gastrocnemius transfer, 1 patient achieved excellent results after tenolysis, whereas 1 patient achieved poor results. After the nerve transfer, 5 patients did not wear an ankle-foot orthosis. Four patients did not limp. Four patients were able to walk barefoot, navigate stairs, and participate in activities. CONCLUSION Early clinical results after tibial to peroneal nerve transfer and neurotized lateral gastrocnemius transfer appear mixed. The results of nerve transfer seem, on the whole, less reliable than the literature reports on tendon transfer. ABBREVIATIONS EMG, electromyographyNAP, nerve action potential.

Documenting sound change with smartphone apps

Crowdsourcing linguistic phenomena with smartphone applications is relatively new. Apps have been used to train acoustic models for automatic speech recognition (de Vries et al. 2014) and to archive endangered languages (Iwaidja Inyaman Team 2012). Leemann and Kolly (2013) developed a free app for iOS—Dialäkt Äpp (DÄ) (>78k downloads)—to document language change in Swiss German. Here, we present results of sound change based on DÄ data. DÄ predicts the users’ dialects: for 16 variables, users select their dialectal variant. DÄ then tells users which dialect they speak. Underlying this prediction are maps from the Linguistic Atlas of German-speaking Switzerland (SDS, 1962-2003), which documents the linguistic situation around 1950. If predicted wrongly, users indicate their actual dialect. With this information, the 16 variables can be assessed for language change. Results revealed robustness of phonetic variables; lexical and morphological variables were more prone to change. Phonetic variables like to lift (variants: /lupfə, lʏpfə, lipfə/) revealed SDS agreement scores of nearly 85%, i.e., little sound change. Not all phonetic variables are equally robust: ladle (variants: /xælə, xællə, xæuə, xæɫə, xæɫɫə/) exhibited significant sound change. We will illustrate the results using maps that show details of the sound changes at hand.

La intervención profesional de los/as trabajadores/as sociales en relación con la inclusión laboral de personas en situación de discapacidad en talleres protegidos de la provincia de Mendoza

La temática de las personas en situación de discapacidad ha motivado en los últimos años gran interés en distintos ámbitos tantos académicos como de ejecución de políticas sociales, pero el cambio en la mirada ha comenzado a correr el velo sobre la inserción laboral de las personas que durante años fueron asociadas al concepto de enfermedad. Ello se encuentra relacionado también con diversos modelos conceptuales sobre la discapacidad que conviven en la actualidad. Se hace el aporte desde el Modelo Social de la Discapacidad, que apunta a reconocer la diversidad como un elemento inherente a la condición humana. Se propone un estudio comparado de dos instituciones: la cooperativa de trabajo y taller protegido de producción La Rañatela y el centro de capacitación y rehabilitación laboral Milenio, y se muestran las representaciones sociales que subyacen en relación con la discapacidad e inclusión laboral que sustentan los profesionales del Trabajo Social.

Under the sign of consumption

The series of enunciations exposed in this work attempts to establish a conceptualization of consumption in relation to the communication and reception processes of symbolic goods. In addition, it will attempt to account for some possible derivations of the problem in question. The article explores different definitions penned by diverse authors seeking to set out the essential aspects concerning the object of study Thus, consumption becomes a space within which the appropriation of material and symbolic goods, social differentiation and symbolic class distinctions, integration, communication, amongst other things, take place. Despite the fact that none can sufficiently explain all the peculiarities related to consumption practices, all offer enriching insights that help us understand the concept we are dealing with. This is why the purpose of the present formulation is to reflect from another perspective, stressing the particularisms. And, in this way, to begin to lift the veil that conceals the forces of the social matrix
