The final assemblagelike composition of perpendicular elements of wood and metal is completely ambiguous in terms of its actual size, weight, function, orientation and vintage, although it resembles one of Irving Penn's elegant, white-ground images.
The clinical picture resembles bvFTD, while cognitive deficits include anterograde memory dysfunction in an initial stage, later accompanied by progressive deterioration of visuospatial function, orientation and global memory.
The MMSE items cover the cognitive functions orientation, memory, attention and calculation, language and the ability to follow simple comments [ 18].
Regarding the ICF component Body Functions participants reported, apart from obvious aspects (e.g. sensations associated with hearing and vestibular functions), orientation, temperament and personality functions, confidence, motivation, emotion, sleep, appetite and exercise tolerance as relevant.

The ICF categories most frequently linked with LEP nursing interventions of all ICF components were Respiration functions (b440), Experience of self and time functions (b180), Orientation functions (b114) and Focusing attention (d160) (see Additional file 1).
The application of axiomatic design ensures a strong function-orientation which is required in mechatronic system development.
