Integration of coordinate measuring machines into flexible production

Die Integration von Koordinatenmeßgeräten in die flexible Fertigung bezieht sich sowohl auf den Material- als auch auf den Informationsfluß. Bezüglich des Materialflusses bestehen aus der Sicht des FFS-Herstellers Anforderungen an die Meßgeräte, die sich vor allem auf die Konstruktion und das Betriebsverhalten beziehen. Der Informationsfluß bedingt ein Verbundsystem der Meßgerätesteuerung und der Systemsteuerung des FFS mit hoher Rechnerintelligenz, um Qualitätsregelkreise im selbstüberwachten Automatikbetrieb realisieren zu können

International study of definitions of English-language terms for suicidal behaviours: a survey exploring preferred terminology

Objectives Explore international consensus on nomenclatures of suicidal behaviours and analyse differences in terminology between high-income countries (HICs) and low/middle-income countries (LMICs).Design An online survey of members of the International Organisation for Suicide Prevention (IASP) used multiple-choice questions and vignettes to assess the four dimensions of the definition of suicidal behaviour: outcome, intent, knowledge and agency.Setting International.Participants Respondents included 126 individuals, 37 from 30 LMICs and 89 from 33 HICs. They included 40 IASP national representatives (65% response rate), IASP regular members (20% response rate) and six respondents from six additional countries identified by other organisations.Outcome measures Definitions of English-language terms for suicidal behaviours.Results The recommended definition of ‘suicide’ describes a fatal act initiated and carried out by the actors themselves. The definition of ‘suicide attempt’ was restricted to non-fatal acts with intent to die, whereas definition of ‘self-harm’ more broadly referred to acts with varying motives, including the wish to die. Almost all respondents agreed about the definitions of ‘suicidal ideation’, ‘death wishes’ and ‘suicide plan’. ‘Aborted suicide attempt’ and ‘interrupted suicide attempt’ were not considered components of ‘preparatory suicidal behaviour’. There were several differences between representatives from HICs and LMICs.Conclusion This international opinion survey provided the basis for developing a transcultural nomenclature of suicidal behaviour. Future developments of this nomenclature should be tested in larger samples of professionals, including LMICs may be a challenge
