Student response systems allow learners to actively contribute to the in-class learning process, while the teacher gets a picture of students’ understanding of the topics at hand. However, not only the teacher is given an evaluation tool, but also the students are able to evaluate their own progress, which is an important aspect in person-centered learning. This paper analyzes the impact of the game-based student response system Kahoot! on a person-centered flipped university course on the introduction to programming and gives recommendations on using quizzes in class. The course was evaluated via anonymous questionnaires before and after introducing regular gamified quizzes. The students’ feedback was extraordinarily positive; the results showed a significant improvement in the satisfaction with the course structure, course design, and perceived suitability of the course material. Hence, evidence found in this research suggests that game-based student response systems provide additional value to flipped classrooms in engineering education.
Background ISO 9001 and ISO 15189 have been established as continuative models for quality systems beyond national laws, mandatory standards and guidelines of expert associations regarding analytical and organisational performance of medical laboratories and transfusion services. Although widely used, their impact on laboratory performance has not been investigated. Methods We retrospectively analysed the results of 167 laboratories in 59 distributions of the Austrian red cell immunohaematology external quality assessment (EQA) scheme in the years 1999-2017. The performance for each parameter and trends of individual participants were compared with respect to certification or accreditation status of participants' quality systems and to laboratory type. Results Considering more than 52,000 EQA results, the absence or presence of a laboratory quality management system showed different error rates. Laboratories with ISO 9001 or ISO 15189 certification/accreditation had 0.7% incorrect results, while this rate was doubled without such quality systems (1.4%, p=0.0002). Statistically significant error reductions were seen upon ISO 9001/ISO 15189 implementation (1.3% before vs. 0.7% after; p=0.0468). Transfusion services had fewer errors (0.9%) compared to hospital and independent laboratories (both 1.2%). Conclusions Implementation and maintenance of quality systems according to ISO 9001 or ISO 15189 as well as laboratory specialisation result in better analytical performance as can be seen in immunohaematology EQA results. The conclusion is that these results apply to other laboratory tests and perhaps to other areas of health care.

Industrial and institutional floor cleaning today relies on mechanical action combined with chemicals, which is costly and a burden to the environment. There are floor cleaning pads on the market which claim increased service time due to diamond particles contained in the nonwoven materials. In this study, it was investigated whether cleaning results can also be obtained with hard-particle-coated pads using only water. SiC, diamond and Al 2 O 3 were used with particle sizes between 5 and 125 µm. 5 g/m² of hard particles were applied to the pads in epoxy resin. Weight loss from abrasive cleaning in 500 cycles and gloss increase were measured. Diamond and silicon carbide particles were found to work with pure water, without the need for chemical cleaning agents.
Cloud solutions in the business are nowadays becoming more
and more popular. Many companies decide to deploy their applications
in the cloud or migrate them from their non-cloud based solutions. It
allows them to focus on functionalities and turn over the work connected
with setting up and managing an infrastructure (with its issues such as
scalability or availability) to the cloud providers.
This paper provides an in-depth analysis of cloud solutions in aspects
of distributed business services. It is supported by a web application that
is responsible for testing the provided services to supports the analysis.
Digitalisierung und Automatisierung in produzierender Industrie sind Schlagwörter heutiger Forschungsbarbeiten am Department Industrial Engineering der Fachhochschule Technikum Wien. Künstliche Intelligenz, vernetzte Sensorsysteme oder übergreifende Prozessplanung ermöglichen Optimierung hinsichtlich Produktionszeit oder Fertigung von individualisierten Produkten, was zur Losgröße 1 führt. In diesem Dokument werden Forschungstätigkeiten des Departments Industrial Engineering im Kontext Vernetzung, Servicerobotik sowie Industrierobotik zusammengefasst.

27-SY-1 Regenerative silk ligament: scale up and regulatory strategy of a textile engineered silk implant for tissue
regeneration of injured human ACL (anterior cruciate ligament)
Bernhard Küenburg,Andreas Teuschl
MorphoMed, Austria
In the USA around 370.000 annual ACL ruptures in the predominately young population (age 18-30) following sport injuries cause a lot of pain
and long term troubles for the affected patients. The well established standard procedure of autologous tissue transplantation stabilizes the
knee and allows sport activities after 9-12 months. However, harvest of autologous tissue such as patellar tendon or semitendinosus (the most
frequently used autograft) weakens other body areas and long term data show an increased rate of arthroses (up to 50% after 10 years)
associated with ACL reconstructions.
Based on numerous preclinical data and data from a 12-month sheep study the scale-up as well as regulatory approval process of a novel
textile engineered silk implant as ACL graft have been initiated. It is planned to enter a clinical trial and strive for regulatory approval as a
medical class 3 implant. The sheep data (1) have revealed an approximately 50% degradation of the purified medical silk, which acts as
scaffold for the regrowth of a new endogenous ligament. The formation of oriented collagenous tissue fibers including vascularization proves a
ligament tissue regeneration for the first time.
Scale-up and implementation of a commercial process require a defined set of specifications of commercial silkworm (Bombyx mori) silk, a
biological raw material sourced from the textile industry as well as adequate analytical methods to characterize the depletion of sericin in the
course of the production process.
Based on first full scale samples, the defined biocompatibility program has to be executed, in the EU following the ISO requirements of the
notified bodies, in the USA determined by the FDA. Upon submission of the full technical documentation as well as the biocompati-bility data,
approval of a clinical trial can be achieved in order to demonstrate the clinical efficacy of the silk based ACL graft compared to the gold
standard method in two different randomized groups. As primary endpoint the knee stability will be tested by an apparatus supported
Lachmann test. In this study, besides the clinical benefit the patient safety is an important goal. The results of this study will be used for
achievement of regulatory approval.
