Building a Digital Manufacturing as a Service Ecosystem for Catena-X.

Manufacturing as a Service (MaaS) enables a paradigm shift in the current manufacturing landscape, from integrated production and inflexible, fragile supply chains to open production and flexible, robust supply chains. As part of this evolution, new scaling effects for production capacities and customer segments are possible. This article describes how to accomplish this paradigm shift for the automotive industry by building a digital MaaS ecosystem for the large-scale automotive innovation project Catena-X, which aims at a standardized global data exchange based on European values.

Supporting Children on the Autism Spectrum as They Experience the Challenges of COVID-19.

The response to the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified stress and social isolation for many children, but those children living with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) have been disproportionately affected.

Assessing a Student With a Rare Disease.

An assessment tool, "Assessing a Student with a Rare Disease," was developed by the Specialized Health Needs Interagency Collaboration program and introduced at NASN's 51st annual conference in Denver, Colorado. The goal of the tool is to support the school nurse as the medical expert in the educational setting by using a comprehensive prompt to gather information about the student's health condition and the possible impact on student's medical, cognitive, and behavioral needs at school.

Hidden Devices in the School Setting: What the School Nurse Needs to Know About Vagus Nerve Stimulation.

The Specialized Health Needs Interagency Collaboration (SHNIC) program at the Kennedy Krieger Institute is a community-based program that provides on-site training and technical assistance to safely manage the integration of children with special health needs into educational and community settings. SHNIC frequently receives seizure education requests throughout the school year, specifically regarding vagus nerve stimulation. Vagus nerve stimulation involves an implanted medical device used to deliver electrical pulses to the vagus nerve for additional seizure management.
