Wie gehe ich datenschutzsicher mit sensiblen Kund*innendaten um?
Economic comparison of FSC and SFI certified companies on Vancouver Island : Iisaak Forest Resources and TimberWest
Creators: name: Scott, Brian
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Sustainable Forest Initiative (SFI) forest certifications require forest products companies to perform responsible and sustainable forest management practices throughout the world. Iisaak Forest Resources Ltd., (Iisaak) a First Nations led company on Vancouver Island, has struggled with FSC certification and profitability, and has many issues surrounding its practices with harvesting, riparian management, and stakeholder involvement. TimberWest Forest Ltd. (TimberWest) is a forest products company with operations on Vancouver Island and is certified under SFI. The company follows more conventional harvesting practices than Iisaak and is able to remain competitive with other large forest products companies in the surrounding area. Iisaak appears to have a poor business model with its FSC certification, while TimberWest’s strategies under the SFI certification seem more favorable economically. Currently it is more sustainable financially for forest products companies to practice SFI rather than FSC certification on Vancouver Island, since there are fewer restrictions put on forest management.

description: Dataspaces enable secure, decentralized data exchange between organizations, ensuring trust and data privacy while enhancing collaboration and operational efficiency. They support interoperability and compliance through standardized protocols, fostering innovation and informed decision-making across various industries. However, implementing dataspaces is complex and costly, requiring significant investment in technology and compliance. Achieving seamless interoperability and maintaining data integrity across diverse systems remains a challenge, making this an ongoing research area. Fraunhofer FIT is a leading institution in dataspace technologies participating in a diverse range of projects and initiatives. Through this work, we have identified dataspaces‘ potential to accelerate and enrich analytical tools development by bringing together numerous partners willing to share data. We define "dataspace-enabled analytics" to include all analytical tools connected to dataspaces, from visualization to AI applications. While these tools benefit from dataspace architectures, they must be adapted to the unique settings of dataspaces, which can hinder their use.

Verb Morphology in Awadhi of Azamgarh
Creators: name: Shaikh, Maaz
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2021
Subjects: Morphology, finite verbs, derivation, inflection, theme formatives, valency, valency modification, Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Awadhic, Indo-Aryan.

description: This study is the very first detailed description of the (finite) verb morphology in
Azamgarhi, a unique Awadhic Indo-Aryan language spoken exclusively by a significant
number of Muslims of the Azamgarh region of Uttar Pradesh, India. It is a part of a
broader goal of holistic and comprehensive documentation of the Azamgarhi language,
filling a gap in the descriptive literature, beginning with a detailed discussion on the
social and linguistic background of the language in question and then moving to discuss
the morphology of verb stems and their uses. The data presented here is based on
analysis of elicited and textual materials from mainly the Southern dialect. Azamgarhi
verbal morphology constitutes derivation and inflection.
All the derivation in the language occurs at the verb root itself, which is optionally
followed by stem increment or, more appropriately, theme formation, in certain instances
before the suffixes encoding inflectional information attach to the derived stem.
This research is also the first-ever comprehensive structural and functional account of
the theme formation phenomenon in any Eastern Hindi language. Inflectional morphology
constitutes of portmanteau suffixes encoding information for TAM and PNG
subject agreement. Inflection markings in context give rise to a range of interpretations,
explored in this dissertation primarily through the theory-neutral basic linguistic
description.
In addition, this work illustrates Azamgarhi being typical of Eastern Hindi
languages—though having nominative-accusative alignment throughout, the transitive
verbal conjugations pattern differently from their intransitive counterpart in the perfective
constructions along with different perfective participles, thereby making the verbal
conjugation system much unpredictive and complex. Finally, it investigates the realis–
irrealis modal concepts in Azamgarhi.

description: Background: Science strives to provide high-quality evidence for all members of society, but there continues to be a considerable gender and diversity data gap, i.e., a systematic lack of data for traditionally underrepresented groups. Gender and other diversity domains are related to morbidity, mortality, and social and economic participation, yet measures as well as evidence regarding how these domains intersect are missing. We propose a brief, efficient Diversity Minimal Item Set (DiMIS) for routine data collection in empirical studies to contribute to closing the diversity and gender data gap. We focus on the example of health but consider the DiMIS applicable across scientific disciplines. Methods: To identify items for the DiMIS across diversity domains, we performed an extensive literature search and conducted semi-structured interviews with scientific experts and community stakeholders in nine diversity domains. Using this information, we created a minimal item set of self-report survey items for each domain. Findings: Items covering nine diversity domains as well as discrimination experiences were compiled from a variety of sources and modified as recommended by experts. The DiMIS focuses on an intersectional approach, i.e., studying gender, age, socioeconomic status, care responsibilities, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, disability, mental and physical health, and their intersections. It allows for data sets with comparable assessments of gender and diversity across multiple projects to be combined, creating samples large enough for meaningful analyses. Interpretation: In proposing the DiMIS, we hope to advance the conversation about closing the gender and diversity data gap in science.

description: Το θέμα της παρούσας Μεταπτυχιακής Διπλωματικής Εργασίας αφορά στην διερεύνηση των περιβαλλοντικών επιπτώσεων των αθλητικών εγκαταστάσεων και την ευαισθητοποίηση του κοινού. Η ενσωμάτωση φιλοπεριβαλλοντικών στοιχείων στα σχέδια νέων ή ανακαινισμένων αθλητικών χώρων αυξάνεται τα τελευταία χρόνια σε πολλές αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις του εξωτερικού καθώς και στη χώρα μας. Έχουν αρχίσει να υποστηρίζουν πρωτοβουλίες υπέρ του περιβάλλοντος σε μια προσπάθεια να προωθήσουν τη βιωσιμότητα και να ευαισθητοποιήσουν τη κοινωνία λόγω της υποβάθμισης του περιβάλλοντος. Σε αυτή την εργασία πραγματοποιείται μια βιβλιογραφική επισκόπηση όπου παρουσιάζεται ο σημαντικός ρόλος των αθλητικών εγκαταστάσεων και οι επιπτώσεις τους στο περιβάλλον. Αναλύονται οι έννοιες της βιωσιμότητας, οι πρακτικές διαχείρισης της ενέργειας, του νερού και των απορριμμάτων στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις καθώς και της περιβαλλοντικής εκπαίδευσης και πολιτικής στον αθλητισμό. Στη συνέχεια, ακολουθείται η μελέτη περίπτωσης μέσω ερωτηματολογίου που διανεμήθηκε σε χρήστες και διαχειριστές των αθλητικών εγκαταστάσεων προκειμένου να διαπιστωθεί η υφιστάμενη κατάσταση στην Ελλάδα και οι μελλοντικές προοπτικές. Ο σκοπός αυτής της μελέτης είναι: α) να διερευνήσει κατά πόσο ανακυκλώνονται τα απόβλητα στις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις και θα διακριβωθούν τα αίτια που οδηγούν στη μη εφαρμογή των πρακτικών ανακύκλωσης, β)να περιγράψει, ερμηνεύσει ως προς τι πολιτικές βιωσιμότητας εφαρμόζουν οι αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις (ή δεν) εφαρμόζουν, γ)τις απόψεις για την τρέχουσα εικόνα των εγκαταστάσεων στην Ελλάδα και τη θεσμική πίεση, δ) τη προσωπική γνώμη τους γνώμη και τις περιβαλλοντικές τους προσδοκίες. Τα ευρήματα αυτής της μελέτης έχουν πρακτικές συνέπειες για τον αθλητισμό και τους φορείς που εμπλέκονται με τις αθλητικές εγκαταστάσεις, κυρίως όμως για την ανάπτυξη και δημιουργία περιβαλλοντικών πρωτοβουλιών που θα πρέπει να δεσμευτούν και να αναλάβουν. Η ανάπτυξη ενός οράματος αειφορίας απαιτεί την υποστήριξη και τη συμμετοχή όλων μας για τη μετάβαση προς ένα βιώσιμο μέλλον.
Transferrability of Adversarial Attacks from Convolutional Neural Networks to ChatGPT4

Transferred Black Box Attack

description: This research evaluates the ability of adversarial attacks, primarily designed for CNN-based classifiers, to target the multimodal image captioning tasks executed by large multimodal models (LMMs), such as ChatGPT4. The study included several attacks, with a particular emphasis on the Projected Gradient Descent (PGD) attack, considering various parameters, surrogate models, and datasets. Initial but limited experiments support the hypothesis that PGD attacks are transferable to ChatGPT. Subsequently, results demonstrated that PGD attacks could be adaptively transferred to disrupt the normal functioning of ChatGPT. On the other hand, other adversarial attack strategies showed a limited ability to compromise ChatGPT. These findings provide insights into the security vulnerabilities of emerging neural network architectures used for generative AI. Moreover, they underscore the possibility of cost-effectively crafting adversarial examples against novel architectures, necessitating the development of robust defense mechanisms for LMMs in practical applications.

Potential future of major British Columbian park land forest tree species and the effects of climate change on park tree health
Creators: name: Beier, Clayton
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Parks and protected areas in British Columbia are responsible for the protection and maintenance of biological diversity, natural ecosystems, and species at risk while integrating these goals with outdoor recreation opportunities for the public. Parks have been criticized for not meeting stated goals of ecological integrity, and for taking little action to ensure the conservation of ecological integrity. Management plans are dated and incomplete and there are concerns that efficacy of park networks and management in meeting the stated ecological integrity goals will be degraded further under a changing climate. In recognition of these criticisms B.C. Parks have stated strategies which involve the use of scientific research and technologies in their decision making processes. Mortality of trees due to direct and indirect effects of changing climate will have an impact both on goals of ecological integrity and quality outdoor recreation opportunities for the public. An approach developed by Coops et al. (2011) that uses empirical and process based (3-PG) data for tree species range change in B.C. was applied to 14 widespread coniferous B.C. species. Future predicted ranged under the intergovernmental panel on climate change emission scenarios A2 and B1 were produced at 3 future timesteps. This predicted data was then used to produce maps of stressed area of each species current range within B.C. parks. These data were subdivided by B.C. ecoprovince ranges. Creation of stressed park range areas was highly variable between species (0%-73% of current protected park ranges) and ecoprovinces (2%-55% of current protected species ranges). Parks in the Southern Alaska Mountains and Northern Boreal mountains had the greatest stress proportions. Whitebark pine showed the most stress area under climate change, and amabilis fir the least. A2 scenario conditions had higher rates of stress range production than B1 for most species and ecoprovinces. The results show that resistance of parks to the effects of climate change is dependent on the species present. As parks increase their efforts to meet stated goals of ecological integrity studies such as this will be necessary if the decision making process is to remain relevant in a changing climate.

description: Οι πολιτικές στέγασης εντάσσονται στον ευρύτερο σχεδιασμό της κοινωνικής πολιτικής στα πλαίσια παροχής κοινωνικής προστασίας και αποσκοπούν στην δημιουργία στοχευμένων παρεμβάσεων που θα εξασφαλίζουν την ασφαλή και αξιοπρεπή διαβίωση αιτούντων άσυλο και αναγνωρισμένων προσφύγων. Μολονότι η στέγαση αποτελεί έναν βασικό παράγοντα που ενισχύει σημαντικά τις δράσεις της κοινωνικής ένταξης, εντούτοις πρόκειται για μια πολυσύνθετη έννοια που συνεχώς αναδιαμορφώνεται, κάνοντας αντιληπτό ότι μονάχα η παροχή στέγης δεν διασφαλίζει και δεν συνεπάγεται κοινωνική ένταξη. Η συγκεκριμένη μελέτη επικεντρώνεται στην ανάλυση και διερεύνηση των προγραμμάτων ESTIA και HELIOS τα οποία αποτελούν παρεμβάσεις για την εξασφάλιση και την παροχή στέγης σε κοινωνικά διαμερίσματα για αιτούντες άσυλο και αναγνωρισμένους πρόσφυγες αντίστοιχα. Η εξέταση των συγκεκριμένων στεγαστικών προγραμμάτων, γίνεται με βάση το θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο της φεμινιστικής προσέγγισης, η οποία μας βοηθά να κατανοήσουμε ιδιαίτερες πτυχές τόσο για την προσέγγιση και τον προσανατολισμό της κοινωνικής πολιτικής όσο και για τις διακρίσεις, τα ιδιαίτερα ζητήματα και τις προκλήσεις που αντιμετωπίζουν οι προσφύγισσες. Πιο συγκεκριμένα μέσα από την βιβλιογραφική ανασκόπηση και τα αποτελέσματα της ερευνητικής διαδικασίας, γίνεται αντιληπτό ότι η απουσία της έμφυλης διάστασης κατά των σχεδιασμό των στεγαστικών προγραμμάτων αλλά και η αποσπασματικότητα των στεγαστικών προγραμμάτων, συχνά επιφέρει τον εγκλωβισμό των προσφυγισσών σε μια κατάσταση επαναλαμβανόμενης θυματοποιήσης, αλλά και προνοιακής εξάρτησης. Η απουσία του κρατικού μηχανισμού στην σύσταση ενός ολοκληρωμένου κοινωνικού σχεδιασμού παροχής ασφαλούς διαβίωσης, σε συνδυασμό με την απουσία καταγραφής των αναγκών και των καταστάσεων που βιώνουν, θέτει τις προσφύγισσες σε επισφαλείς συνθήκες.

Development of a zinc-based fixative for DNA, RNA and protein molecular studies
Creators: name: Lykidis, Dimitrios Aristotle
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2022

description: Fixation is a chemical process by which tissue and cell components are ‘stabilised’ temporally and spatially, preserving morphology, nucleic acids, proteins and other cell constituents. There is a wide range of fixatives, based on their chemical function, but none of the compounds used is ideal, i.e. for preserving both morphology and integrity of DNA, RNA and protein. This thesis aimed to develop a reliable, cost-effective and non-toxic fixative to meet the needs of contemporary molecular pathobiology research, particularly in respect of RNA and DNA integrity. The effects of 30 different fixative recipes on the fixed quality of tissues from C57B16 mice colon, liver and spleen were investigated. Results from immunohistochemistry (IHC), polymerase chain reaction (PCR), Reverse transcription PCR, RNA Agilent Bioanalyser and Real-Time PCR showed that a novel zinc-based fixative (Z7) containing zinc trifluoroacetate, zinc chloride and calcium acetate was significantly better than the standard zinc based fixative (Z2) and neutral buffered formalin (NBF) for DNA, RNA and protein preservation. DNA sequences up to 2.4Kb in length and RNA fragments up to 361 bp in length were successfully amplified from Z7 fixed tissues, as demonstrated by PCR, RT-PCR and Real-Time PCR. Total protein analysis was achieved using 2-D gel electrophoresis. In addition, nucleic acids and proteins were very stable in fixed tissue blocks over a 12 month period. Fresh frozen samples were also included in this experimental model as controls for DNA and RNA integrity. Using Affymetrix exon microarrays it was shown that Z7-fixed samples had no statistical significant difference in the exon alternative splicing pattern compared to fresh-frozen samples, and could be used for further human cancer array genome studies. Mass Spectroscopy studies using synthetic peptides and their reaction with zinc trifluoroacetate showed that zinc is binding to at least one amino acid, either cysteine or histidine. Future work is required to elucidate the exact chemical mechanism of zinc fixation. In conclusion, this novel, non-toxic and economical tissue fixative could be applied for routine laboratory use to permit subsequent genomic/proteomic studies.

description: Every day, about 100 million barrels of hazardous oily wastewater from oil and gas exploitation industry, called “Produced Water”, are discharged into environment around the world (Igunnu & Chen, 2014). Over time, stricter and more advanced regulations for discharging produced water have being passed. Concurrently, the potential of using produced water as fresh water is gaining more attention and interest in water-stress oil-producing countries, therefore, efficient treatment methods are required (Bilstad & Espedal, 1996). Hence, membrane filtration emerges as a promising technology in this field. Nevertheless, studies about the fouling mechanisms are very limited, most of them focused on the effect of the membrane material and hydrophilicity (Faibish & Cohen, 2001; Koltuniewicz et al., 1995). In this study, the efficiency of UF and MF membranes in removing oil from synthetic nanoemulsions was investigated. A close attention has been paid to size-related fouling mechanisms.
Phase change materials and building applications : an introduction
Creators: name: Pacson, Theo
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Building insulation has been used for many years to prevent heat from escaping the building during cold days to reduce the cost of heating throughout a house or a building. However, since it’s a passive material, it still works during the hot summer days. Radiated heat from that enters through the windows and body heat from people inside the building is kept from escaping the building making it an unbearable work or living space. Typically one would turn on the air conditioning to cool the building and taking the cost of power usage for air conditioning as a fixed cost. Phase Change Materials (PCM) is an alternative way to reduce long term cost and reduce power consumption. It is a passive material like a regular building insulation but it also has the ability to keep the interior of the building at a constant temperature. The main concept is that the PCM stores excess heat during the day and expelling the stored heat during night time. By using PCM, the power consumption and the cost of temperature management is reduced during the day and during the night.

description: Combining clinical and omics data can improve both daily clinical routines and research to gain more insights into complex medical procedures. We present the results of our first phase in a multiyear collaboration with analysts and physicians aiming at improved inter-disciplinary biomarker identification. We also outline our usercentered approach along its challenges, describe the intermediate technical artifacts that serve as a basis for summative and formative evaluation for the second project phase. Finally, we sketch the road ahead and how we intend to combine visualization research with user-centered design through problem-based prioritization.
The Role of Roots in Slope Stability
Creators: name: Ip, Jerome
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia

description: The presence of roots is highly influential on slope stability. The strength properties of the roots and the extensiveness of the root network dictate the degree of mechanical stabilization. Research surrounding this topic has expanded significantly in the last thirty years due to the attention gathered from deforestation in mountainous areas leading to landslides and slope failures (Nilaweera & Nutalaya, 1999). Roots provide mechanical stabilization of slopes through its tensile strength, frictional properties and bending stiffness. An ideal slope contains both fine and coarse roots, as both offer different advantages. Fine roots have higher tensile strengths and are effective at stabilizing the upper soil layers while coarse roots extend into greater depths of the soil and aid in anchoring large volumes of soil. The growth of roots among other factors can create continuous macropores known as soil pipes. Soil pipes improve drainage, which help to dissipate pore water pressure and is especially important in slopes experiencing large volumes of rainfall. However, when soil pipes become eroded and the cavities become blocked, water can build up and cause a slope failure.

description: As an emerging trend in channel acquisition (CA), the concept of channel twinning (CT) has been proposed as a powerful enabler of ubiquitous connectivity in next-generation (xG) wireless systems. By fusing multimodal sensor data, CT advocates a high-fidelity and low-overhead CA paradigm, which is promising to provide accurate channel prediction in cross-domain and high-mobility scenarios of ubiquitous xG networks. However, existing literature lacks a universal CT architecture to address the challenges of heterogeneous scenarios, data, and resources in xG networks, which hinders the widespread deployment and applications of CT. This article discusses a new modularized CT architecture to bridge scene recognition, cooperative sensing, and decentralized training, comprising versatile model configuration, multimodal cooperative sensing, and lightweight twin modeling modules. Additionally, this article presents a detailed concept, technical features, and case studies of CT, outlines mainstream trends of realization methods, followed by potential applications of CT-empowered ubiquitous connectivity, and issues requiring future investigations.

subject: Human-computer interaction

description: This zine is a coursework submission as part of the Design Justice module offered in the MSc. Human Computer Interaction Design module at City St. Georges', University of London, 2024-2025.Abstract: "The 'Art' of Taking" explores the issue of creative ownership in AI-generated art, focusing on the exploitation of artists’ work without consent or compensation. This zine investigates the ethical, technical and legal shortcomings that led to the injustices faced by artists, whose livelihoods are threatened by AI's unregulated behaviour. By critically applying design justice and data feminism principles, this zine proposes a new set of values and solutions for a new world, in which artists claim credit, ownership and compensation while supporting the growing capabilities of AI art generation.

description: Microplastic contamination, like other global change factors, can induce effects on ecosystem functions and processes, affecting various soil biophysical properties. However, effects of such contaminants on nutrient cycles in agroecosystems are still poorly understood. We here performed two pot experiments to investigate the effect of polyester microplastic fibers (PMFs) on soil physical properties, nitrogen cycle, and plant performance in a maize-based agroecosystem. Moreover, we followed the N loss via leaching in soil contaminated or not with PMFs by simulating heavy rainfall events that mimic a future scenario of climate change. Our results show that soil contaminated with PMFs (at a concentration of 0.5% w/w) can jeopardize agroecosystem sustainability by affecting soil physical properties and in particular soil macro- and microporosity, the nitrogen cycle, and plant performance. In particular, we found that soil PMF contamination limited crop growth and N uptake by circa 30%, and consequently increased N loss via leaching. Overall, our findings show that soil contamination with PMFs may pose problems to future agricultural challenges like food security and environmental protection.

description: Mit dem Flagship-Projekt SmartHospital.NRW der Kompetenzplattform KI.NRW möchten wir als Konsortium die Potenziale von KI in der Medizin weiterentwickeln und diese für Krankenhäuser greifbarer machen. Dazu werden zum einen konkrete KI-Anwendungen aus den Technologiefeldern Textverarbeitung, Spracherkennung und Sensordatenanalyse exemplarisch für unterschiedliche Einsatzbereiche entwickelt, darunter vor allem Pflege und Diagnostik. Zum anderen beschäftigen wir uns mit KI-Reife sowie mit Kriterien der Zukunftsfähigkeit von Krankenhäusern: Welche Wege könnte bzw. müsste man hierzu beschreiten? Welche Voraussetzungen der technischen Infrastruktur müssen vorliegen? Welche Qualifizierungsmaßnahmen benötigt das Personal zur Anwendung von KI-basierten Systemen? Welche Innovationen sind nachhaltig integrierbar auf dem Weg zum Smart Hospital? Dazu haben wir als ersten Schritt einen »KI-Readiness- Check« als Selbsttest für Krankenhäuser entwickelt. Mit dem hier vorliegenden Whitepaper präsentieren wir den KI-Readiness-Check und stellen auf kompakte und leicht verständliche Weise dessen Inhalte und Anwendungspotenziale vor. Im ersten Abschnitt wird zunächst der aktuelle Stand der Digitalisierung im Gesundheitswesen erläutert und unsere Arbeiten werden in diesen spezifischen Kontext eingebettet. Denn obwohl die Pandemie bisher als eine Art Katalysator für die Digitalisierung in der Medizin wirkte, zeigt die Praxis, dass hier noch viel Verbesserungspotenzial besteht. Anschließend werden die Begrifflichkeit und unser Verständnis eines Smart Hospitals als Modell eines zukunftsfähigen Krankenhauses aufgezeigt. Im Hauptteil des Whitepapers folgen die Beschreibungen der Methodik sowie die Inhalte des KI-Readiness-Checks. Zusätzlich sind Ergebnisse erster Realerprobungen integriert, um die Anwendbarkeit und die erzielten Benefits zu unterstreichen. Abschließend erfolgt ein Ausblick auf das gesamte Vorgehensmodell, das im Rahmen des Projekts basierend auf dem KI-Readiness-Check entwickelt wird. Dies soll vor allem passgenaue und notwendige Schritte und Maßnahmen beinhalten, die ein Krankenhaus zur Entwicklung in Richtung eines Smart Hospitals konkret benötigt.

description: Paenibacillus larvae, the causative agent of the devastating honey-bee disease American Foulbrood, produces the cationic polyketide-peptide hybrid paenilamicin that displays antibacterial and antifungal activity. Its biosynthetic gene cluster contains a gene coding for the N-acetyltransferase PamZ. We show that PamZ acts as self-resistance factor in Paenibacillus larvae by deactivation of paenilamicin. Using tandem mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and synthetic diastereomers, we identified the N-terminal amino group of the agmatinamic acid as the N-acetylation site. These findings highlight the pharmacophore region of paenilamicin, which we very recently identified as a ribosome inhibitor. Here, we further determined the crystal structure of PamZ:acetyl-CoA complex at 1.34 Å resolution. An unusual tandem-domain architecture provides a well-defined substrate-binding groove decorated with negatively-charged residues to specifically attract the cationic paenilamicin. Our results will help to understand the mode of action of paenilamicin and its role in pathogenicity of Paenibacillus larvae to fight American Foulbrood.

description: Key techniques for demonstrating quality, safety, and security, from unique identification to open source: In today’s world, we encounter electronics increasingly as complex hardware/software systems, such as those in vehicles, machines, and communication devices. These systems are characterized by dramatic increases in functionality in areas like environment sensing, stages of autonomy, and the installation of future updates. Developing and manufacturing such electronic systems today requires global supply chains for materials, components, services, and tools. Analyses show there are various gateways for intended or accidental flaws along these chains. Yet for safety-relevant applications, creating and demonstrating a high degree of operating safety and data security is absolutely indispensable. So how can companies engender trust in complex electronic systems with regard to quality, safety, security, and integrity?
