  text: Many African countries are home to extraordinary architecture that is virtually
    unknown. There are interpretations of Art Deco, International Style, Brutalism
    as well as of African vernacular architecture. Climate-responsive buildings with
    a fluidity of interior and exterior spaces play a large role. While many of these
    20th century architects were of European origin, they were deeply influenced by
    their surroundings and found original, site-specific expressions, often in collaboration
    with African architects. A focus of the construction activities were educational
    buildings which played an important role for these young nations that mostly gained
    their independence in the 1960s. While some of the documented buildings have been
    restored, others are still awaiting reconstruction.

  text: Prolonged life expectancy along with the increasing complexity of medicine
    and health services raises health costs worldwide dramatically. Advancements in
    ubiquitous computing applications in combination with the use of sophisticated
    intelligent sensor networks may provide a basis for help. Whilst the smart health
    concept has much potential to support the concept of the emerging P4-medicine
    (preventive, participatory, predictive, and personalized), such high-tech medicine
    produces large amounts of high-dimensional, weakly-structured data sets and massive
    amounts of unstructured information. All these technological approaches along
    with “big data” are turning the medical sciences into a data-intensive science.
    To keep pace with the growing amounts of complex data, smart hospital approaches
    are a commandment of the future, necessitating context aware computing along with
    advanced interaction paradigms in new physical-digital ecosystems. In such a system
    the medical doctors are supported by their smart mobile medical assistants on
    managing their floods of data semi-automatically by following the human-in-the-loop
    concept. At the same time patients are supported by their health assistants to
    facilitate a healthier life, wellness and wellbeing.

  text: "The use of mobile computing is expanding dramatically in recent years and
    trends indicate that “the future is mobile”. Nowadays, mobile computing plays
    an increasingly important role in the biomedical domain, and particularly in hospitals.
    The benefits of using mobile devices in hospitals are no longer disputed and many
    applications for medical care are already available. Many studies have proven
    that mobile technologies can bring various benefits for enhancing information
    management in the hospital. But is mobility a solution for every problem?\r\n\r\nIn
    this paper, we will demonstrate that mobility is not always an advantage. On the
    basis of a field study at the pediatric surgery of a large University Hospital,
    we have learned within a two-year long mobile computing project, that mobile devices
    have indeed many disadvantages, particularly in stressful and hectic situations
    and we conclude that mobile computing is not always advantageous."
