The number of people with cognitive impairments increases together with the aging population. Thus, social robots are being researched to aid relieve the nursing
sector as well as to combat cognitive impairments. However, it raises concerns regarding how a social robot should relate to members of this group and what might
be appropriate. In this thesis, research about the current state of social robots has been conducted and focus groups with people from the nursing and medical field were held. To verify the credibility of the results and the scenario developed, final
user tests were conducted with representatives of the target group. When using a
social robot in an interaction with persons who have cognitive disabilities, the robot
should speak and behave more human-like and make use of its facial expressions,
stressing empathy and responding to the person accordingly. Though the situation
of interacting with a social robot may be more significant in future generations.
The idea is quite obvious. Anyone studying “Media
Creation & Management” as part of an international
minor program should not just learn about international
management topics and international media
markets in theory, but also engage in their own media
project as part of an international team of students
– in this particular case, writing and editing as well as
layout and production of a magazine on the topic of
international media management.
This is exactly what 50 students of the International
Media Management class did during the summer term
2022. And the result is the magazine you are now
holding in your hands. The students looked at topics
related to international media management from
various perspectives, analyzed markets and dealt with
international digital and media companies – sometimes
using management tools, sometimes in a more
scientifi c and sometimes in an entertaining way. The
result is a magazine that is directed at students as well
as lecturers and those responsible for international
exchange programs at universities.
