Technology amongst the Fields: Mini Campuses as endogenous Growth Poles in lower Density Regions - a Case Study from the Nuremberg Metropolitan Region

[EN] The purpose of this paper is to report about the impact of Ansbach University of Applied Sciences’ specialized mini campuses on their surrounding rural lower density regions by considering theoretical regional innovation models, spatial planning concepts as well as Ansbach University’s mission(s). The approach we use is pragmatic due to the author’s scientific publications and the author’s professional experience. For that, newer scientific publication to the key words mentioned below are used for an interdisciplinary line of sight, and press releases and internal data provided are qualitatively evaluated for this study’s practical part. Our study reveals that Ansbach University’s pragmatic local strategy of appropriately placing specialized mini campuses in rural outskirts has remarkable impact on the innovation processes in the lower density region over time. Our mini campuses follow a clear local Triple Helix (TH) innovation strategy by University-Industry-Municipality cooperations, meanwhile tending to focus also quadruple and quintuple helix stakeholder groups. Besides showcasing local innovation processes triggered by our mini campuses the paper thematises rural-urban interaction scenarios due to the threat of shrinking peripheral areas in metropolitan regions. This case study supports policy makers and regional or local deciders by offering ingredients for the set up of local strategies. For universities in low-density areas the paper can be of value for counteracting a brain-drain to metropolitan centers, thus contributing spatially to equal life conditions by giving modern living, studying, researching and working as well as recreating an attractive local country-side accent.Kaiser, N.

Attitudes Toward Microchip Implant in Groups Pro and Con its Insertion for Healthcare Purposes

The perception of new technologies and medical interventions in the human body changes over time. Attitudes towards new technologies, health issues and approaches differ according to the gender, age, education, place of residence and background of the individual. Our research on the adoption of microchip implants for healthcare purposes has identified two main groups of people: those who would be willing to use microchip implants for healthcare purposes and those who reject this option without considering its use. This study examines the differences in the general opinion on microchip implants between respondents for and against their use for healthcare purposes. An online survey was conducted in four European countries. More than half of the respondents were inclined to use a microchip implant for healthcare purposes. Statistically significant differences in general attitudes towards microchip implants exist between the groups of respondents who are for and against the use of a microchip implant for healthcare purposes. The most significant difference is in perceived usefulness, which shows that respondents who are inclined to use microchip implants for healthcare purposes consider the technology more useful than those who are against it. All respondents disregarding their willingness to use microchip implants showed privacy concerns

Editorial

In recent years, we have observed spectacular advancements in the area of nano-circuits and systems at several levels, from the fabrication material and device levels to the system and application levels. New emerging materials provide us with a wealth of new devices such as (silicon) nanowires, graphene, and carbon nanotubes fabricated in various technologies. Applications of these devices are vast and include, but are not limited to, new computing and memory structures, super-capacitors, as well as nano-bio-sensors based on the molecular combination of molecular probes to electronic devices. This special issue of the Journal on Emerging and Selected Topics in Circuits and Systems (JETCAS) has the purpose to collect some selected contributions to the workshop as well as other works in this domain, all subject to peer review. In particular, this issue focuses on two specific topics: biomedical circuits and systems, and 3-D integrated circuits and systems. This choice is motivated by a synergy of the spontaneous contributions in these areas as well as by the importance of these fields. We will review these two areas at large before briefly summarizing the contributions
