Bats, in particular, pose a methodological challenge due to their nocturnal and aerial behavior, and many species are difficult to detect using ground-based surveys alone. In this study, we evaluated the potential of multicopter-based acoustic transects as a complementary method to traditional ground-based bat surveys. We compared species group composition and activity levels acoustically recorded along identical transects at ground level and at 104 m height with a multicopter across three habitat types (forest, meadow, and waterbody). Our results showed that elevated airspace appears to represent a largely distinct foraging habitat that is only partly linked to ground-level habitat structure and is primarily used by Nyctaloid and Pipistrelloid echolocation groups. Our findings are in line with what is already known about the spatial behaviour of Myotis bats, as these were recorded almost entirely near the ground. We also tested whether the two multicopter types influenced acoustic detection rates and found no significant differences when recording devices were properly distanced and oriented away from the multicopter. Thus, this paper contributes by suggesting how multicopters can serve as a new mobile measurement method to extend the vertical reach of acoustic bat surveys. This further helps to identify species-specific habitat use in hard-to-reach regions, such as the risk area around the nacelle of a wind turbine. This information can then be used to inform bat conservation and mitigation efforts.

Abstract: This study examines the impact of two multicopters, differing in size and weight (ConVecDro hexacopter, DJI Mavic 2 Pro quadcopter), on the activity of bats assigned to three distinct echolocation groups. The objective was to define thresholds (in decibels) below which bat echolocation groups show weak or no impact on activity. Using the known noise profile of the multicopter and a model of sound attenuation in air, these thresholds were then used to determine optimal microphone placement distances by estimating frequency-specific sound levels at increasing recording distances. Directional properties of the recording device were also considered.

Demographic shifts increasingly challenge treatment centers: Whereas affected individuals were historically younger male trauma patients without comorbidities, most patients today are older than 60 years and frequently multimorbid. The proportion of incomplete SCIs is also rising. Rehabilitation aims to achieve the highest possible level of independence, with restoration of walking ability becoming a central goal in individuals with incomplete SCI. Long term outcomes depend on neurological recovery, medical and therapeutic interventions, and social participation, highlighting the importance of gait rehabilitation for autonomy and quality of life. Therapeutic approaches for gait recovery, however, are highly heterogeneous, and no standardized protocol exists. This variability limits comparability and underscores the need for a structured overview of current interventions. A scoping review can systematically map available evidence and identify key concepts, methodological limitations, and existing knowledge gaps to support evidence based practice in this evolving field.

It documents which studies were retained for further analysis and the criteria used to exclude unsuitable studies. Empirical studies published in English or German were included if they assessed the sensory satisfaction of healthy children aged 4 to 6 years with meals. The identified studies were evaluated using eight different criteria. Two reviewers screened the studies identified in the two databases PubMed and ScienceDirect independently and in parallel. Of the initial 4,775 publications, 32 studies were considered for further analysis. Wed, 11 Feb 2026 10:31:03 GMT https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12738/18572 2026-02-11T10:31:03Z
