Working Paper Nr. 18 des Fachbereichs 3: Wirtschaft und Recht
The possibilities of digital technologies for people with disabilities or the older population are wide-ranging, but in order for all people to be able to participate in an increasingly “digital world” it is important to quality professionals and organizations so that they are able to support, advise and help with potential risks. The article presents results of a survey among health and social care professionals in seven European countries with regard to qualification in this domain and introduces the European Union funded project DDSkills. The project aims to qualify health and social care professionals in areas such as digital Assistive Technologies, Smart Home, Robotics, Virtual and Augmented Reality and Brain-Computer-Interface, as well as their implementation and application, in order to support people with disabilities or functional decline to increase their independence and social participation.
Die Autorinnen haben zwischen 2006 und 2009 untersucht, welche Rolle die geschlechtstypische Verhandlungskompetenz von Frauen für ihren Aufstieg und das erzielte Gehalt spielt (Ruppert/Voigt 2009). 2017 überprüften sie in einer Follow-up-Studie mit dem gleichen methodischen Design, inwieweit die damals erzielten Ergebnisse noch aktuell sind.
Soziale Interventionen in Interaktionen zwischen Sozialarbeiter:innen und ihren Adressat:innen können nicht frei von Rahmenbedingungen betrachtet werden. Neben organisatorischen und institutionellen Kontexten sind gesellschaftliche Verhältnisse zu berücksichtigen, die (in migrationsbezogenen Kontexten) Zugehörigkeitsordnungen (re-)produzieren können. Mit einer Methodentriangulation werden Beratungssituationen im Handlungsfeld Migration empirisch rekonstruiert. Es zeigen sich Ambivalenzen zwischen professionellen Anspruch und der Praxis beratender Tätigkeiten Sozialer Arbeit.

Abstract
At the intersection of issues of water scarcity and rapid urbanisation is the need to investigate sustainable urban water management practices in today’s cities. This is especially important with the undeniable impact of climate change adding to its complexity. Johannesburg is a prime example of a city facing a myriad of challenges regarding water and is therefore the focus of the thesis. This research focuses on how the city of Johannesburg can pave its way into becoming a Water Sensitive City (WSC)- an aspirational vision of a city that integrates sustainable urban water management practices. To discover this, case study research on Johannesburg is undertaken by exploring the challenges and opportunities in relation to water demand and supply in the city. A few challenges include pollution of water and issues relating to the dependency on surface water. Additionally, an Urban Water Mass Balance (UWMB) analysis was undertaken to explore the potential of alternative water service options in a city that relies predominantly on surface water. It was found that rainwater harvesting had the highest potential to replace the existing centralized system. Based on the results of the case study research and the UWMB analysis a program was proposed to assist Johannesburg’s transition into a WSC. The proposal includes proactive recommendations relating to public participation and the protection of the environment.
Die Studie stellt Ergebnisse einer im Juli 2021 durchgeführten, deutschlandweiten Befragung mit Schwerpunkt auf der Personenmobilität vor und vergleicht diese mit einer knapp ein Jahr zuvor durchgeführten Befragung. Ein Teil der Befragten wurde dabei in beiden Wellen erfasst, was tiefergehende Analysen von möglichen Verhaltensänderungen erlaubt. Ein wichtiger Befund ist, dass mit der coronabedingt relativ hohen Bedeutung des Home-Office der ÖPNV im Modal Split weiter ins Hintertreffen gerät. Zum Zeitpunkt der Befragung war rund die Hälfte der Erwachsenen vollständig geimpft oder genesen. Nach den vorliegenden Daten scheint es aber nicht so zu sein, dass diese Personengruppe in nennenswerter Weise wieder verstärkt mit dem ÖPNV unterwegs ist. Ein Aspekt dabei könnte ein Tarifmodell sein, das sich nicht gut mit regelmäßigem Home-Office verträgt. Neben diesen Auswertungen werden noch aktuelle Befunde aus anderen Quellen zum Thema Mobilitätsentwicklung diskutiert.
Ausgehend von einigen Beobachtungen in Praxis und Ausbildung der Sozialen Arbeit wird die These aufgestellt, dass die Soziale Arbeit bislang nicht über das Stadium einer „Proto-Profession“ hinausgekommen ist. Dies hängt, so eine weitere These, damit zusammen, dass sich auch die Wissenschaft der Sozialen Arbeit bislang im Stadium einer „Proto-Wissenschaft“ befindet. Vor diesem Hintergrund wird der Interventionsforschung und damit zusammenhängend dem Aufbau eines systematischen (konsolidierten) professionellen Wissenskorpus eine überragende Bedeutung zugeschrieben. Forschung und Entwicklung als alternative Bezeichnung von Interventionsforschung bildet das zentrale dynamische Element, mit dem ein solcher Wissenskorpus aufzubauen wäre. Um dorthin zu gelangen, braucht es allerdings eine gemeinsame Anstrengung von Wissenschaft und Praxis der Sozialen Arbeit – oder mit anderen Worten: Es braucht eine „lernende Profession“.

Der vorliegende Beitrag diskutiert die Bedeutung sozialpolitischer Interventionen in der Angehörigenpflege aus einer Care-Perspektive. Dafür wird auf der Grundlage einer empirischen Studie herausgearbeitet, ob und inwiefern das Instrument des Pflegegelds und der Familienpflegezeit Handlungsspielräume von pflegenden Angehörigen verschließen oder erweitern. In der Analyse wird deutlich, auf welche Weise die sie vor allem den Angehörigen Handlungsspielräume eröffnen, die ohnehin über eine hohe ökonomische Ressourcenausstattung verfügen, während sie Vulnerabilitäten bei anderen erhöhen. Abschließend werden fallübergreifende
Wirkweisen sozialpolitischer Instrumente im Feld der Angehörigenpflege diskutiert.
Abstract English
The world is increasingly characterized by global and national disasters and crises. To cope with these, social cohesion is indispensable—and this in turn requires that young people are taught how to become responsible citizens. Strengthening students’ personal development and social commitment are therefore key responsibilities of universities. Service-learning is one possibility to integrate these into teaching and learning, however studies on the effectiveness of service-learning in Europe—and especially in Germany—are rare. This paper examines the effects of service-learning, whereby three different study groups are compared. The study includes n=132 bachelor and master students, and shows that the groups’ outcomes hardly differ from one another. It can tentatively be said that there are only minor differences between the formats and that service-learning is equal to more traditional teaching-learning formats, but again is not superior with regard to the variables investigated.
Abstract Deutsch
Die Welt ist zunehmend von globalen und nationalen Katastrophen und Krisen geprägt. Um diese zu bewältigen, ist sozialer Zusammenhalt unabdingbar - der wiederum setzt voraus, dass junge Menschen zu verantwortungsvollen Bürgern erzogen werden. Die Stärkung der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung und des gesellschaftlichen Engagements der Studierenden ist daher eine zentrale Aufgabe der Hochschulen. Service-Learning ist eine Möglichkeit, diese in die Lehre und das Lernen zu integrieren. Studien über die Wirksamkeit von Service-Learning in Europa - und insbesondere in Deutschland - sind jedoch rar. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht die Auswirkungen von Service-Learning, wobei drei verschiedene Studiengruppen verglichen werden. Die Studie umfasst n=132 Bachelor- und Master-studenten und zeigt, dass sich die Ergebnisse der Gruppen kaum voneinander unter-scheiden. Die Ergebnisse deuten darauf hin, dass es nur geringe Unterschiede zwischen den Formaten gibt und dass Service-Learning den traditionelleren Lehr-Lern-Formaten gleich-wertig, aber wiederum nicht überlegen ist, was die untersuchten Variablen betrifft.
Bezugnehmend auf aktuelle Forschungsprojekte zur Gender*Wissensbildung fokussiert der Beitrag auf die Forschenden, die versuchen partizipative Forschungsansprüche einer wechselseitigen Wissensproduktion an der Schnittstelle Hochschule und berufliche Praxis Sozialer Arbeit zu entwickeln. Rekonstruiert wird, wie Forschende ihre Forschungsansprüche in der Forschungssituation artikulieren und wechselseitige Gender*Wissensproduktionen erproben, dabei werden wirkmächtige Wissensordnungen als Fallstricke identifiziert.

Smart home technologies, such as Internet of Things devices have great potential to support older people to live for longer in their own homes. Yet individuals with communication, memory and dexterity problems often cannot use such technologies. Through a co-design, participatory approach the needs and problems experienced by older people and their supporters were explored to ascertain how they could be enabled to use Smart home technologies. The solution that was developed, IntraVox, is a virtual hub that enables connectivity from different resources and devices based on the sensor data that is being collected in the house. IntraVox sends various commands to a voice-enabled personal assistant which in return controls smart home devices. This approach can improve the usability of voice-enabled personal assistants by removing the necessity for the user to remember and pronounce specific commands whilst also reinforcing the syntax and the usefulness of those commands. This discussion describes the development process and user-feedback of the IntraVox solution.
In diesem Beitrag wird mit der Narrativen (Einzel- oder Familien-) Diagnose und mit dem Rekonstruktiven Fallverstehen ein Vorschlag unterbreitet, den Interaktionsprozess zwischen Fachkräften und Adressat*innen Sozialer Arbeit bereits als Bestandteil sozialer Interventionen anzuerkennen, methodisch zu gestalten und zu reflektieren – gewissermaßen soziale Interventionsforschung als eine fallbezogene forschende Praxis zu begreifen.
The advancing use of modern technology in nursing care, especially the development of technical assistance systems through robotics, digitization and Artificial Intelligence (Al), can open up new opportunities for those affected. At the same time, however, the use of these technologies also carries risks for this group of people, especially for their fundamental right to informational self-determination, due to the extensive processing of personal data. This article describes the risks for data subjects and explains the current legal framework regarding the protection of personal data in the European Union. The authors conclude, that applying data protection and data security to technical assistance systems, robots and Al from the beginning not only leads to legally compliant practices but also strengthens the trust of users and society as a whole in the use of these systems. The use of Al-based systems raises further (legal} questions that go beyond data protection and data security. The authors first address the various definitions of the term „Artificial Intelligence” in the academic literature. They then describe the European Union’s various regulatory approaches to the use of Al starting with the European Commission's “Strategy for Artificial Intelligence” published in 2018, followed by the “Al White Paper” published in 2020 and ending with the European Commission’s proposal for a Regulation laying down harmonized Rules on Artificial Intelligence- Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) published in April 2021. Here, in particular, aspects of „scope“, „transparency” and „impact on the healthcare sector” will be examined in more detail and the still necessary need for legal policy discussion will be highlighted.
Soziale Intervention findet meist als personenbezogene Dienstleistung in einem organisatorischen Rahmen statt. Da Intervention als eine Form von „Steuerung“ begriffen werden kann, stellt sich dabei das Problem der „doppelten Steuerung“, d.h. die (steuernde) Intervention wird ihrerseits innerhalb der Organisation gesteuert. Dabei treten regelmäßig Verwerfungen auf, die Gegenstand von Forschung sein müssen, soll „Intervention“ nicht eindimensional gefasst werden. Die Erforschung sozialer Interventionen steht zudem häufig vor dem Problem der Vermittlung zwischen Theorie und Praxis, das im Sinne „kritischer Theorie“ anzugehen ist.
Respect, equity, democratic spaces, are the most cited words by people when asked how they could explain Urban Dignity in simple words. However, segregation, violence, insecurity, pollution, housing deficit and sanitation are some of the most cited words that comes out from first year architecture and urban planning graduate students when they are asked about our city constraints. Those urban issues get intensified in subnormal cluster areas, and challenges the academy in the housing design process when addressing Urban Dignity to those students. This paper presents the results of a design thinking process exercise for an informal community with housing needs. It considered the emotional space concept as a method to find the common grounds where individuals find comfort, safety, and joy. A brainstorm meeting with the community and field visits were used as a strategy to capture some of the essence of locals. The challenge to understand and capture their individual and personal feelings regarding their own comfortable zones and address them into a common scenario remained the main struggle of this project. Most of those people had never had a house with steady structure and infrastructure to live in. Therefore, an intense inside discussion among the design responsible people involved in the project, focused on translating their own perception of local's feelings towards neighbors, of local’s belongings and behaviors to define the design program needs. As a result, the sense of place, open ungated buildings with three floors max, a common recreational central area, the use of construction materials familiar and available in the field, and reserved areas located on first floor were some of the main characteristics drawn to the area. This approach guaranteed to host locals’ activities and accommodate changes needed in their course of lives as some of the characteristics found essential to welcome the community of about 80 families in a place where they could call home.

Abstract
The global problem with drinking water supply has increased considerably in recent decades, mainly due to accelerated population growth and unsustainable use of non-renewable resources. Ciudad Juarez, located on the northern border between Mexico and the United States, has not been excluded from this problem. Its desert characteristics and low rainfall accentuate the need for a change in water management. This paper presents water-sensitive urban design measures to help combat climate change and water scarcity problems in Ciudad Juarez.
Objective: This best-practice example shows the positive effect on the behavior of a mentally disabled client with significant behavioral problems after the custom-made change in his built environment. Background: Healthcare organizations are often faced with the difficulty of creating a built environment that has a positive effect on the mental well-being of the users. Ipse de Bruggen is a healthcare organization that offers care and support for the mentally handicapped. They look after clients who need additional individual support due to their behavioral problems and have developed new care concepts for this over the years. With regard to the built environment, however, they found in individual cases that the living environment does not suit the client. The rooms are bare and devoid of atmosphere. It seems that in many cases this has led to even more aggression and destruction. A negative spiral. The organization saw the need to change this and in 2011 commissioned Andrea Möhn Architects, formerly Möhn + Bouman Architects, to examine the built environment and the needs of individual users with major behavioral problems. Methods: The findings are based on the architects’ many years of experience with regard to the target group, a precise observation of the behavior of the user in his personal space as well as interviews with the staff from November 2011 to April 2012. Results: Based on the observations the architects created a tailor-made environment that had a very positive effect on the behavior of the user and thus also on his family, the care staff and the organization. Conclusions: The best practice example shows that for clients with severe behavioral problems a personalized and humanized approach seemed to be the right approach, rather than a flexible spatial solution. The redesigned space gave the client a sense of control, pride, dignity and a sense of well-being. Inspired by this success, the organization started the project "Physical environment, a fixed value in our care” in 2020. Within four years, twelve rooms will be redesigned and their effects on users will be scientifically researched.

Abstract English
Artistic offerings at universities have a long tradition. Almost every university in Germany offers its students a variety of opportunities to engage in artistic and creative activities. This study investigated why students participate in these offerings. The results show that the need for community experience plays a very important role. At the same time, artistic engagement eases students' transition into college. The opportunity to try out new things in a protected setting, the experience of self-efficacy and a compensation to their studies are also important factors. It becomes clear that artistic activities at universities are not just a leisure activity, but also make an important contribution to students' personal development. For this reason, the authors suggest establishing an accompanying format at universities for reflective participation in these offerings.
Abstract Deutsch
Kulturelle Angebote an Hochschulen haben eine lange Tradition. Fast jede Hochschule in Deutschland bietet ihren Studierenden vielfältige Möglichkeiten, sich kulturell und kreativ zu engagieren. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde untersucht, warum Studierende an diesen Angeboten teilnehmen. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass das Bedürfnis nach Gemeinschaftserfahrung eine sehr große Rolle spielt. Gleichzeitig erleichtert das kulturelle Engagement den Studierenden den Übergang in die Hochschule. Die Möglichkeit, in einem geschützten Rahmen Neues ausprobieren zu können, die Erfahrung von Selbstwirksamkeit sowie der Ausgleich zum Studium sind ebenfalls wichtige Faktoren. Es wird deutlich, dass kulturelle Angebote an Hochschulen kein reines Freizeitvergnügen sind, sondern einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Persönlichkeitsentwicklung der Studierenden leisten. Aus diesem Grund schlagen die Autorinnen vor, an Hochschulen ein begleitendes Format für die reflektierte Teilnahme an diesen Angeboten zu etablieren.
Connected ambient assistance systems support elderly people - or people in need of care - for a self-determined, healthy and safe living in their familiar home until very old age. The systems typically communicate with nursing relatives or remote professional caregiving providers. The basic functions of stationary assistance systems include the detection of a) falls and b) deviant behavior indicating a health hazard. These kernel tasks of assistance have been amended in the course of time by a plenitude of more general assistant functions. Wearable devices, like programmable smartwatches, extend the reach of stationary assistance beyond the spatial boundaries of the familiar home. They extend the scope of wellbeing monitoring by analyzing the wearer’s heart rate in relation to the current physical activity and can also verify sufficient liquid ingestion, drinking, thus compensating the diminishing natural sensation of thirst at increasing age. Home robots also extend the scope of wellbeing monitoring within the home and relieve from the necessity of a comprehensive sensoric instrumentation of the home. So far, ambient assistant systems can primarily provide assistance only in the physiological dimension. Cognitive ambient assistance, which allows the participation in the social communication on an equal footing, today is beyond their abilities. The advances in artificial intelligence are about to change the picture. From an economic point of view, the dissemination and success of assistance systems has been slowed down within the last decade by lacking wide-spread interaction standards as well as the shortage of necessary multivalent utility of such systems. In contrast, the smart home concept offering increased comfort and sustainability has gained a lot of attractivity in the same time. Therefore, commercially successful assistance systems must provide their utility in all three dimensions: assistance, but also simultaneously in comfort/safety and sustainability.
