EMPOWERMENT IN STRUCTURES. PRACTICAL-ETHICAL CONSIDERATIONS OF THE PRECONDITIONS FOR TECHNOLOGY-ASSISTED DEMENTIA CARE IN GERMANY BASED ON AN EXPERT-INTERVIEW STUDY

BackgroundIntelligent assistive technologies (IAT) have become more common in dementia care.Ethical reflection on technology-assisted dementia care (TADC) has focused so far mainly on individual and interpersonal implications (e.g., self-determination, (in)dependence, safety or privacy issues, caregivers’ support and cost-efficiency).From an empo

Abstract The spread of misinformation poses a threat to the social media ecosystem.Effective countermeasures to mitigate this threat require that social media platforms be able to accurately detect low-credibility accounts even before the content they share can be classified as misinformation.Here we present methods to infer account credibility fro

Realistically simulating the veuve ambal rose West African monsoon system still poses a substantial challenge to state-of-the-art weather and climate models.One particular issue is the representation of the extensive and persistent low-level clouds over southern West Africa (SWA) during boreal summer.These clouds are important in regulating the amo

Small Arctic catchments that are sensitive to climate change reinforced by Arctic amplification remain poorly studied.Since the end of the Little Ice Age (LIA) glaciers on Svalbard have been retreating, and thus, many catchments have transformed from glaciated or partly glaciated to ice-free conditions.Our study focuses on changes that have occurre
