    -> Electromagnetic fields have already been considered a potential health risk with previous generations of mobile radio communication. In 2011, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) classified mobile phone radiation as “possibly carcinogenic”. To this day, experts continue to discuss this topic with much controversy.-> 5G, the latest generation of mobile phone networks, promises to transmit larger amounts of data with lower latency. Industry 4.0, augmented reality games or the Internet of things rely on such higher performance.-> The assessment of risks and gaps of knowledge enables precautionary regulation and a prudent approach to 5

    A Blueprint to Integrate and Exploit the Benefits of E-Government and BIM in the Urban Heat Planning Process. GI_Forum|GI_Forum 2019, Volume 2|

    Against the background of the climate protection plan, the transition of cities towards a renewable heat supply is a particular challenge, involving planning and participation at various levels. In addition simply to the implementation of measures to reduce the heat demand of a building, the question arises as to the specific role that an individual building can play in strategic energy planning. Strategic energy planning enables a spatial framework for interaction. Communications between the building and the planning process have to be established. This paper outlines processes and communications between building information modelling (BIM) and e-government standards in Germany (XBau, XFall, XPlanung), and the need for further research and development. The combination and modification of existing standards and procedures can create something new in the long term: an indispensable data basis for municipal heat planning

    Medical care in correctional facilities and penitentiaries has always been of particular importance, for various reasons: Maintaining the health of the inmates was not only an act of kindness, but also necessary to prevent epidemics and disease. After all, this was a precondition for the utilization of their labour. However, there were several complaints about shortcomings in medical care, particularly during the 18th century. Especially the sickroom equipment was in dire need of improvement and there were no notable positive developments in this area until the middle of the 19th century, due to the extremely limited space in all of the institutions in Graz. However, the care provided by medical staff was significantly better. Although it occurred that doctors and surgeons were apathetic and negligent, the inmates regularly received relatively good treatment. The Styrian rural population as well as the urban lower class of the (Early) Modern Period had few if any possibilities to be inspected by professionals, and therefore often turned to so-called quack doctors. Medical advice was expensive, just like the cost of medication. Although it was generally claimed that only low-cost remedies were used for convicts and other inmates in the 18th century, the expenditures for individuals sometimes exceeded what they were able to earn in an entire year. These aspects illustrate that inmates were not „second-class patients“, but even enjoyed advantages they would not have had as members of the lower rural or urban lower class outside of the institution. On the other hand the inmates had an increased risk of becoming ill because of the poor living conditions in the penal institutions
