The «Recommendations for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Behavioral and Psychological Symptoms of Dementia (BPSD)» were developed in parallel with the Swiss National Dementia Strategy 2014-2019 under the auspices of the Swiss Society for Geriatric Psychiatry and Psychotherapy (SGAP) and mark the beginning of a series of recommendations for geriatric psychiatric disorders. They depict the evidence-based state of knowledge about diagnostics and therapy, based on the clinical experience of the experts, and are designed for interprofessional and interdisciplinary use. The non-pharmacological intervention options and pharmacotherapy are discussed in detail. This paper is the revised version of the 2014 publication and compiles the development in this area for everyday clinical practice. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Until now no mandatory guidelines for the structural planning of the deconstruction of existing concrete structures are introduced by the authorities, which assist the planning engineers in the evaluation of these existing or damage structures. Often complex structural states of deconstructions have to be calculated, which depend on the knowledge of the actual structural condition. Therefore the only source of information is given by the existing documents, which often don't represent the actual state. To reduce the risks and to increase the planning and tender security, diagnostic investigations offer a big potential. Because not all information, as e. g. the knowledge about the possibility of a subsequent anchorage of cut prestressed tendons can be evaluated in advance of a deconstruction, further experimental investigations are necessary. As yet no technical or contractual rules are defined. The paper gives an overview of practical experiences and possible potentials of these experimental investigations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
