This scoping review aims to map evidence on how lived diversity experience is conceptualized and operationalized as an individual resource among care workers. Methods: An interdisciplinary approach across social anthropology, health sciences, and labor economics will be adopted. The databases to be searched include MEDLINE/PubMed, PsycINFO, Scopus and Web of Science and sources of grey literature. A two-stage screening process will be followed by systematic data extraction, with findings synthesized through descriptive numerical summaries and qualitative thematic analysis. Results: This scoping review is expected to shift the focus from organisational-level diversity research to research on how diversity contributes as an individual resource in care work contexts. It will map how diversity-as-resource is theoretically operationalized across disciplines, identifying existing measurement approaches and potentially revealing critical gaps in current assessment methods. Conclusion: By synthesizing evidence on how care workers’ lived diversity experiences are deployed as valuable competencies in care delivery, this review will provide foundational knowledge to inform workforce transformational strategies}, author = {Lorke, Mariya and Carstensen, Vivian}, issn = {2296-2565}, journal = {Frontiers in Public Health}, publisher = {Frontiers Media SA}, title = {{Diversity as an individual resource in care work of the future: a scoping review protocol}}, doi = {10.3389/fpubh.2026.1892688}, volume = {14}, year = {2026}, } @inproceedings{7175, abstract = {Deep reinforcement learning (RL) policies for robotic control are typically trained for a single hardware configuration.

We train a single RL agent to control a Franka Emika Panda manipulator across different sets of active joints, from a restricted 4-degree-of-freedom (DOF) mode to the fully redundant 7-DOF configuration. Instead of fixed-length state vectors, the method processes the active joints as a variable-length sequence, enriching each joint’s representation with its relative spatial offset and geometric Jacobian influence. The proposed kinematics-informed attention architecture reaches a success rate of 82.1% across trained configurations and 66.6% on unseen configurations, outperforming multilayer perceptron and generic attention baselines while remaining nearly collision-free.

Implicit motives represent nonconsciously operating, affect-based enduring needs to seek particular classes of incentives (e.g., influence, mastery, closeness) and avoid corresponding classes of disincentives (e.g., powerlessness, failure, isolation). Implicit Motives follows the intellectual tradition of David McClelland and John Atkinson in its emphasis on thematic apperceptive measurement of motivational needs. It features some updated chapters and many new ones, reflecting the exciting and diverse new developments in motive research since the first edition was published in 2010. It aims to provide an authoritative, international reference work that will offer researchers and advanced students a comprehensive and balanced overview of current scholarship across the expanding field of implicit motive research. Like the first edition, the volume features overview chapters of motivational dispositions for achievement, power, and affiliation; the current perspective on their measurement; reviews of their neuropsychological, cognitive, and behavioral aspects; and portrayals of motives in applied contexts. It also features a new section on the theoretical underpinnings of motivational processes that examines implicit motives from the perspectives of incentive motivation, Pavlovian learning, and research design and offers new chapters on, among others, sexual motivation, autonomy motivation, motives and emotion, life-long development, and AI-based motive assessment. Written by internationally renowned scholars of motivation, the second edition of Implicit Motives will serve as an authoritative reference work for researchers, students, and others interested in this topic. }, author = {Steinmann, Barbara}, booktitle = {Implicit Motives.

Grounded in constructivist and collaborative learning principles, DEERs require teams to negotiate meaning, coordinate actions, and apply prior knowledge under time pressure, conditions that promote deeper cognitive engagement and knowledge consolidation. The game environment provides intrinsic motivation through narrative immersion and immediate feedback, while cooperative mechanics cultivate communication and shared responsibility. Systematic reviews confirm that DEERs foster teamwork, communication, and critical thinking, yet adoption remains limited because creating pedagogically sound DEERs demands both instructional design expertise and substantial technical skill. Existing authoring tools either sacrifice expressiveness for usability or require programming knowledge, leaving a significant gap for non-technical educators seeking to design rich, interactive learning experiences aligned with curricular goals. This work in progress paper presents the DEER-Wizard, a low-code authoring approach that guides educators through a multi-step configuration covering puzzle structure, narrative flow, and learning objectives. Each step is grounded in established DEER design principles, including narrative framing, interdependent puzzles, adaptive hint strategies, and structured debriefing, ensuring that pedagogical alignment is built into the authoring process rather than treated as an afterthought. A connected DEER-Generator converts the completed configuration into a playable game. The Wizard builds on the DEER-Toolkit embedded in a 2D multiplayer dungeon crawler with cooperative play and xAPI-based learning analytics that support formative assessment. Together, Wizard and Toolkit enable non-technical educators to design pedagogically aligned DEERs without programming expertise, directly addressing the power-usability dilemma identified in authoring tool research. The DEER-Wizard is a conceptual design with a prototype implementation in progress. A planned mixed-methods evaluation will examine usability for educators and learning outcomes for students in authentic higher education settings. The Wizard, the Toolkit, and the generated Escape Room Games are and will continue to be released as open-source software and open educational resources. }, author = {Matutat, André and Franke, Benjamin and Schumann, Niklas and Rüffer, Hannes and George, Birgit Christina and Gips, Carsten}, isbn = { 978-1-917204-96-5}, issn = {2049-100X}, journal = {European Conference on Games Based Learning}, location = {Darmstadt}, number = {2}, publisher = {Academic Conferences and Publishing International Ltd}, title = {{Building Digital Educational Escape Rooms: A Modular Toolkit with Low-Code Authoring Approach}}, doi = {10.34190/ecgbl.20.2.5434}, volume = {20}, year = {2026}, } @inproceedings{7176, author = {Jamebozorgi, Vahid and Quisbrok, Robin and Nasari, Amirbahador and Schröder, Christian}, keywords = {Atomistic simulation, EBSD, Mesh generation, Finite element methods, Image processing, Digital-twin, Multiscale modeling, IR, XRD, TEM, Virtual characterization}, location = {Bochum}, title = {{Bridging experiment and simulation across scales}}, year = {2026}, }
