description: In position papers, the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy (CCPE) addresses issues that are currently of concern to society, science and business. As CCPE researchers, we want to take a stand and contribute our opinion to current debates. At the same time, we want to show whether and how we can contribute to solving these challenges with science-based data and facts. Our position papers are developed jointly by the employees of the Fraunhofer Cluster of Excellence Circular Plastics Economy CCPE - each position paper is the result of an opinion-forming process involving several institutes. Fraunhofer CCPE combines the competences of six institutes of the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft and cooperates closely with further Fraunhofer Institutes and industry partners. Together, we work on systemic, technical, and social innovations, focusing on the entire life cycle of plastic products. Under the leadership of the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT, the following research institutes have joined forces: the Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research IAP, the Fraunhofer Institute for Chemical Technology ICT, the Fraunhofer Institute for Material Flow and Logistics IML, the Fraunhofer Institute for Process Engineering and Packaging IVV and the Fraunhofer Institute for Structural Durability and System Reliability LBF. The position paper "Challenges and requirements in comparative life cycle assessment of plastics recycling" was prepared by the Fraunhofer Institutes UMSICHT, IML and ICT.

description: In today's continually expanding and global marketplace, organizations are increasingly relying on teams. The tasks that are performed by these teams are requiring greater interdependency among members as technology becomes more complex. Therefore, there is a need for a valid measure to study the task interdependence among team members. This study developed a measure of task interdependence and provided evidence for the construct validity of the measure using LISREL (Joreskog & Sorbom, 1993). In particular, the task interdependence measure was shown to be distinct from teamwork measures developed in previous research (Rosenstein, 1994). A structural model of relationships among teamwork and task interdependence measures was also assessed. Most of the proposed structural coefficients were found to be statistically significant, and goodness-of-fit indices indicated that the model fit the data well. Suggestions concerning future research and practical implications are also discussed.

description: Conversational User Interfaces (CUI) are widely used, with about 1.8 billion users worldwide in 2020. For designing and building CUI, dialogue designers have to decide on how the CUI communicates with users and what dialogue strategies to pursue (e.g. reactive vs. proactive). Dialogue strategies can be evaluated in user tests by comparing user perceptions and reactions to different dialogue strategies. Simulating CUI and running them online, for example on crowdsourcing websites, is an attractive avenue to collecting user perceptions and reactions, as they can be gathered time- and cost-effectively. However, developing and deploying a CUI on a crowd sourcing platform can be laborious and requires technical proficiency from researchers. We present Chatbot Language (CBL) as a framework to quickly develop and deploy CUI on crowd sourcing platforms, without requiring a technical background. CBL is a library with specialized CUI functionality, which is based on the high-level language JavaScript. In addition, CBL provides scripts that use the API of the crowd sourcing platform Mechanical Turk (MT) in order to (a) create MT Human Intelligence Tasks (HITs) and (b) retrieve the results of those HITs. We used CBL to run experiments on MT and present a sample workflow as well as an example experiment. CBL is freely available and we discuss how CBL can be used now and may be further developed in the future.

description: This thesis will focus on two facets of Bayesian estimation. First, we propose methods that can improve parameter estimation in particle filtering when making use of a distributed computing environment by allowing for periodic communication between compute nodes. The periodic communication can improve the embarrassingly parallel version of our particle filter without dramatically increasing the computational costs. Our method is intended for use on data with large N or in streaming settings where latent parameters are changing over time. Secondly, we propose a method for estimating heterogeneous treatment effects in observational studies using transformed response variables via a modification to Bayesian additive regression trees that incorporates a mixture model in the regression error terms.

description: We consider graph modeling for a knowledge graph for vehicle development, with a focus on crash safety. An organized schema that incorporates information from various structured and unstructured data sources is provided, which includes relevant concepts within the domain. In particular, we propose semantics for crash computer aided engineering (CAE) data, which enables searchability, filtering, recommendation, and prediction for crash CAE data during the development process. This graph modeling considers the CAE data in the context of the R&D development process and vehicle safety. Consequently, we connect CAE data to the protocols that are used to assess vehicle safety performances. The R&D process includes CAD engineering and safety attributes, with a focus on multidisciplinary problem-solving. We describe previous efforts in graph modeling in comparison to our proposal, discuss its strengths and limitations, and identify areas for future work.

description: Populations inhabiting the periphery of species distribution ranges may experience suboptimal environmental conditions and higher vulnerability to anthropogenic pressures. Disentangling the role of natural and human-related factors and the relationships among them in these marginal areas is thus key to understand and prevent species declines and range reductions. We analysed Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) occurrence patterns in relation to anthropogenic pressures and natural environmental gradients in Morocco, an area constituting the arid limit of the species’ global range. The probability of otter occurrence was higher as terrain ruggedness increased and at intermediate elevations, and lower in catchments exposed to higher anthropogenic pressures. Otters tended to be rare at higher elevations and in areas with less annual precipitation, probably as a result of trophic resource limitations and large water flow fluctuations, respectively. A combination of natural and anthropogenic factors, both at drainage area and local scales, was needed to understand the current occurrence of the species. Our study highlights a need for urgent action to conserve the Eurasian otter in northern Africa, where freshwater ecosystems and their associated biodiversity are threatened by rapid human development in areas of marginal climatic conditions.

description: How will we live and work in the future? Which traditions will continue to be important to us and which values will be added? And how will the new requirements affect the services, rooms, and products in hotels and other tourist destinations? The »FutureHotel – Cospaces and Communities in a Post Corona Hotel Era« whitepaper presents current societal changes, particularly the forms of cohabitation and their impact on the hotel industry. Due to increasing individualization, living situations are changing, single households are gaining in importance, and on the other hand, the need for communities outside of a core family is growing. Especially in urban areas, measures are needed to counteract loneliness and restlessness. In addition, the younger generations in particular are subject to extreme dynamics: Erasmus semesters, internships abroad or binational relationships, the global generation define a new type of travel generation with completely new demands on hotels and destinations. Instead of classic hotel rooms, in the future there will be a need for coliving areas, diverse room situations for traveling with friends, longer stays and the combination of traveling and working or learning. This whitepaper describes potentials for shaping the hotel of the future developed on the basis of changes in society as a whole. Among others, the following topics are addressed: • Community building in an infinite life cycle (urban tribes) • The rise of new housing forms (e. g. coliving) • Hotels as public space and neighbourhood meeting points • Multifunctional spaces in hotels • Flexible and temporary spaces with pop-up effects • Community spaces and events for all The whitepaper »FutureHotel - Cospaces and Communities in a Post Corona Hotel Era« is the third part of a short series on trends in the Post Corona Hotel Era and was published as part of the FutureHotel Innovation Network.

description: Understanding the motivations underlying scholarly citations is critical for evaluating research impact and fostering transparent scholarly communication. This study introduces CiteFusion, an ensemble framework designed to address the multiclass Citation Intent Classification (CIC) task on benchmark datasets, SciCite and ACL-ARC. The framework decomposes the task into binary classification subtasks, utilizing complementary pairs of SciBERT and XLNet models fine-tuned independently for each citation intent. These base models are aggregated through a feedforward neural network meta-classifier, ensuring robust performance in imbalanced and data-scarce scenarios. To enhance interpretability, SHAP (SHapley Additive exPlanations) is employed to analyze token-level contributions and interactions among base models, providing transparency into classification dynamics. We further investigate the semantic role of structural context by incorporating section titles into input sentences, demonstrating their significant impact on classification accuracy and model reliability. Experimental results show that CiteFusion achieves state-of-the-art performance, with Macro-F1 scores of 89.60% on SciCite and 76.24% on ACL-ARC. The original intents from both datasets are mapped to Citation Typing Ontology (CiTO) object properties to ensure interoperability and reusability. This mapping highlights overlaps between the two datasets labels, enhancing their understandability and reusability. Finally, we release a web-based application that classifies citation intents leveraging CiteFusion models developed on SciCite.

Protocol for identification of Cronartium ribicola x Cronartium comandrae hybrids in populations of Pinus monticola
Creators: name: Chalmers, Eric
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: Cronartium ribicola is a rust fungi affecting soft pines throughout British Columbia. It is believed that C. ribicola is capable hybridizing with C. comandrae and is doing so in areas where the two rusts are in close proximity with each other. Establishing a means of identifying hybrid individuals is an important step in studying the hybrid individuals. Through the use of digestion enzymes and gel electrophoresis, hybrid aeciospores DNA can be differentiated from non-hybrid spore DNA. The restriction endonuclease BtsCI selectively cleaves C. ribicola DNA segments between the ITS1f and ITS4 binding sites while leaving C. comandrae segments intact. The result of the selectivity of this enzyme in the presence of C. comandrae, C. ribicola, and hybrid DNA is one, two, and three bands, respectively, when observed through gel electrophoresis. This relatively easy and cost effective means of identifying these hybrids will facilitate further study of these and other inter-specific hybrids, as well as the relationships of other hybrid fungi.

description: The increasing level of automation within an open context and use of artificial intelligence in cognitive cyber-physical Systems (CPS) is leading to emergent complexity and subsequently to uncertainties within the system assurance process. For example, in automated driving this is particularly true for the class of risks associated with the safety of the intended functionality (SOTIF) as described by the standard ISO 21448. In this report, we provide a definition of how complexity and uncertainty impacts the safety assurance of cognitive CPS. Based on this structured understanding of the problem, we propose an approach to managing the safety and regulating the deployment and operation of such systems in order to maintain an acceptable level of residual risk despite of, and with the intent of reducing, residual uncertainties. The approach includes criteria to guide decisions regarding the deployment and continuous assurance of the systems. The model used to structure these proposals includes a causal analysis of the factors impacting the complexity and resulting uncertainty (and, by extension, risk) that span the three layers of technical & human factors, management & operations and governance and regulation. These principles are generally applicable to a broad class of cognitive cyber-physical systems. However, in this report we focus on their application to automated driving systems.

description: Die Menschheit sieht sich aktuell mit einer Vielzahl von Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die sie bewältigen muss, um unmittelbar, aber auch langfristig für das Wohlergehen von möglichst vielen Menschen und der Natur zu sorgen. Etablierte Denkweisen und Ansätze erweisen sich dabei immer häufiger als nicht erfolgreich. Vielmehr verlangen die heutigen Herausforderungen nach flexiblen, kreativen Lösungen. Innopreneurship ist ein erfolgversprechender Weg, um neue, zielgerichtete und zielgruppenorientierte Lösungen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Indem sie neue Problemlösungen finden und diese als Geschäftsideen umsetzen, versuchen Innopreneure_innen ökonomischen, sozialen und/oder ökologischen Wert zu schaffen. Dafür benötigen sie sowohl entrepreneuriale als auch kreative Kompetenzen. Michèle Kuschel befasst sich mit der Frage, wie diese Kompetenzen im Rahmen eines Studiengangs vermittelt werden können. Auf der Basis von Erkenntnissen der Kreativitätsforschung entwickelt sie ein wissenschaftlich fundiertes Rahmenmodell als theoretische Grundlage für das Curriculum eines Masterstudiengangs in Innopreneurship.

Evaluating nest box addition as a population augmentation strategy for tree swallows, Hirondelle bicolore, in interior British Columbia, Canada
Creators: name: Pokorny, Stanley
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Tree swallow populations across North America are exhibiting negative annual trends. An exception to the broader trend is interior BC, Canada where tree swallow populations are growing. Augmentation of successful populations by the addition of nest boxes to cavity poor landscapes may be an appropriate strategy to mitigate or reverse the national decline. This was evaluated through an analytical comparison of the reproductive performance (clutch size and hatchlings) of tree swallow breeding pairs nesting in natural cavities and nest boxes in the William’s Lake region of BC, Canada. For the 2001-2003 breeding seasons mean clutch size (means ± SE, nest boxes: 5.94 ± 0.199 eggs (n=83), cavities: 4.2 ± 0.204 eggs (n=74)) and number of living hatchlings (means ± SE, nest boxes: 4.51 ± 0.265 chicks(n=83), cavities: 2.51 ± 0.27 chicks(n=74)) detected were significantly higher (clutch size: p-value=0.0001, hatchlings: p-value 0.0001, alpha=0.05) for pairs using nest boxes. Nest boxes provide tree swallow breeding pairs with additional nesting territories and result in higher reproductive rates. Nest box addition has the potential to be a long term population augmentation mechanism but further studies on long term impacts at the community level are necessary before it can be implemented as a management plan.

description: Seit mindestens 20 Jahren entwickeln sich „Smart Cities“ und „Smart Regions“ als Teil eines Digitalisierungstrends, der auf Datenvernetzung in Städten und Regionen aufsetzt. Smart Cities und Smart Regions bezeichnen Siedlungsräume, in denen die regelmäßige Nutzung (ökologischer, ökonomischer und sozial) nachhaltiger Produkte, Dienstleistungen, Technologien, Prozesse und Infrastrukturen durch eine hochintegrierte Vernetzung mittels Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien systematisch ermöglicht und unterstützt wird. Der nächste Schritt hin zu vernetzten, datenzentrierten Verwaltungen von Städten und Regionen ist daher von enormer Bedeutung. Auf der einen Seite wird der Einsatz datenbasierter Systeme die öffentlichen Dienstleistungen und die hoheitlichenAufgaben erweitern und verbessern. Auf der anderen Seite werden immer mehr öffentliche und private Akteure entlang (digitaler) Wertschöpfungsketten beteiligt. Unterstrichen wird dies durch den immer stärker hervortretenden Bedarf, nachhaltigere und resilientere Wege der Stadt- und Regionalentwicklung zu gehen und dazu digitale Werkzeuge und Lösungen zu nutzen. Hierdurch kann die notwendigen Transformationen des Energie-, Verkehrs- und Infrastrukturwesens beschleunigt werden. In diesem Dokument sollen die Konzepte von datenzentrierter Verwaltung sowie die dafür notwendigen organisatorischen und technischen Voraussetzungen erläutert und beschrieben werden. Abschnitt 1 bietet eine allgemeine Einführung in die datenzentrierte Verwaltung und adressiert die administrativen Herausforderungen sowie den rechtlichen Rahmen. Abschnitt 2 stellt die Gaia-X-Initiative vor, zunächst allgemein, dann als Werkzeug zur Verknüpfung von Daten und zur Erleichterung der digitalen Transformation in Kommunalverwaltungen. Abschnitt 3 beschreibt die technischen Aspekte der digitalen Transformation in der Verwaltung: von der aktuellen Datennutzung bis hin zu den verfügbaren technologischen und prozeduralen Werkzeugen. Am Ende des Dokuments finden sich einige Anwendungsfälle, in denen der Nutzen der Digitalisierung und Datenorientierung für Verwaltungen konkret dargestellt wird.

Pathway to sustainable forest industry in Indonesia
Creators: name: Limantono, Arnold
Publisher: name: The University of British Columbia
Year: 2016

description: Indonesia is a country with abundance of forest cover. The forests are high in biodiversity and rich in resources. In addition, the country has been dependent on its forests resources and been exploiting the forests for more than 30 years. The wood industry has experienced a rapid growth in production and capacity in the last 30 year period. Unfortunately, a sustainable forest management has not yet been well developed in the country. As a result, the country is currently experiencing a massive deforestation and forest degradation. Moreover, scarcity of wood supply is now becoming a problem for the industry. Deforestation and forest degradation has a negative impact to the environment and also to the socioeconomic aspects of human’s life. The main concern is that deforestation and forest degradation accelerates the rate of climate change due to its carbon emissions. This issue has brought the international world to agree on taking actions to fight deforestation and forest degradation. Thus, the Reducing Deforestation and Forest Degradation (REDD) programme was proposed and is now being developed. Currently, Indonesia is one of many countries that are in the REDD priority list due to its large forest area and high rate of deforestation. REDD is a potential solution to the Indonesia’s unsustainable forest practices. By having international commitment and aid, it is expected that Indonesia’s forest loss will be reduced and its carbon stock will be enhanced. The REDD programme, however, also need full cooperation and supports from the local inhabitants. Unfortunately, there are still many challenges and issues in Indonesia that need to be solved for REDD to be successful. Multiple stakeholders in Indonesia have to respond positively to ensure the effectiveness of REDD. Human resource is the key to the success of implementation of REDD in Indonesia. From government to business owners, from university students to local indigenous population, every Indonesians has to able to understand, promote, and practice sustainability. Only this way, a better and sustainable Indonesia can be achieved.

description: Das Whitepaper beschreibt die Bedeutung und Herausforderungen von Zertifizierung und Absicherung der künstlichen Intelligenz (KI). Der Einsatz von KI-basierten Systemen bietet großes Potenzial zur Verbesserung von Effizienz und Qualität, birgt aber auch Risiken wie algorithmische Fehler, Haftungsrisiken und Datenschutzverletzungen. Um den verantwortungsvollen Einsatz von KI zu gewährleisten, sind einheitliche Regelungen, Normen und Zertifizierungsverfahren notwendig. Der EU AI Act und die KI-Normungsroadmap in Deutschland sind wichtige Schritte in diese Richtung. Das Whitepaper hilft Unternehmen diese Vorgaben einzuordnen und geeignete Zertifizierungsmaßnahmen zu wählen. In Interviews mit Experten wurden klare Anforderungen an die Umsetzung von Absicherungs- und Zertifizierungsprozessen identifiziert. Unternehmen benötigen verschiedene Unterstützungsangebote, um sich auf Zertifizierungsprozesse vorzubereiten und sichere KI-Systeme zu entwickeln. Das Whitepaper bietet eine Orientierungshilfe und legt dabei Wert auf hohe ethische und technische Standards sowie die Förderung von Innovation und Wettbewerbsfähigkeit.
Fair Overlap Number of Balls (Fair-ONB): A Data-Morphology-based Undersampling Method for Bias Reduction

description: One of the key issues regarding classification problems in Trustworthy Artificial Intelligence is ensuring Fairness in the prediction of different classes when protected (sensitive) features are present. Data quality is critical in these cases, as biases in training data can be reflected in machine learning, impacting human lives and failing to comply with current regulations. One strategy to improve data quality and avoid these problems is preprocessing the dataset. Instance selection via undersampling can foster balanced learning of classes and protected feature values. Performing undersampling in class overlap areas close to the decision boundary should bolster the impact on the classifier. This work proposes Fair Overlap Number of Balls (Fair-ONB), an undersampling method that harnesses the data morphology of the different data groups (obtained from the combination of classes and protected feature values) to perform guided undersampling in overlap areas. It employs attributes of the ball coverage of the groups, such as the radius, number of covered instances and density, to select the most suitable areas for undersampling and reduce bias. Results show that the Fair-ONB method improves model Fairness with low impact on the classifier's predictive performance.

description: A Worldwide History Spanning Genocide for the Sake of Corporate Profit is the title of a thesis consisting of four stories. Crosky’s Knife is presented first for the sake of allowing potential readers to embrace a sense of amiable audience engagement and is based on a true story of a veteran of one of the many global conflicts currently raged on behalf of freedom. The three pieces following this feint are reworked versions of stories written from the heart and delivered to machines. As it presents numerous aspects of reality that the average person may not wish to consider, doing so with shockingly casual acceptance of such horror and/or banality, the conscious reception of the duty of engagement and possible appreciation of the text is not advised. Knives, rabid dogs, severed tongues, and a downpour of malnourished Iraqi babies are components intrinsic to the direction of this thesis.

description: The concept of the digital twin as the representation of a physical object is currently under development and is delivering promising first results. At the same time, the goals and the definition of digital twins differ, sometimes significantly, depending on the area of application and use case. Therefore, the descriptions and concepts of digital twins in a specific application cannot simply be transferred to new fields of application. Meanwhile, battery cell manufacturing is a key of the energy and mobility transition that is still characterized by high costs as well as scrap rates and will benefit enormously from the use of digital twins. To provide a basis for the development of digital twins in battery cell manufacturing, this white paper presents a unified definition for the digital twin in battery cell manufacturing, based on existing work. For this purpose, three forms of the digital twin are described: the building twin, the machine twin, and the product twin. Each of these forms must be examined in detail so that components of the respective forms can be identified, exemplary use cases can be shown, and concrete goals as well as challenges can be defined. Based on the concepts described in this white paper, the digital twin will be used in battery cell production to track, optimize, and control products and processes in the future. In perspective, this can significantly improve energy, raw material, and cost efficiency.
MONSANTO'S VENTURE INTO SOCIAL MEDIA: A NOVEL DISCOVERY
Creators: name: Emily Grace, Williams
Publisher: name: continental journal
Year: 2024
Subjects: Information Technology, Social Movements, Digitalization, Capitalism, Resistance Strategies

description: This study delves into the profound impact of information and communications technologies within the context of sociohistorical conditions, echoing Karl Marx's recognition of their dual nature as tools of both capital and labor. As Marx anticipated, these technologies have evolved to possess subversive potential, capable of either reinforcing capital's dominance over labor or being harnessed by labor for challenging power structures and political redistribution. Drawing from Dyer-Witheford's contemporary perspective, the research highlights the inherent vulnerabilities within capitalist social relations and their potential to catalyze a more equitable future.

Dyer-Witheford's framework positions the information revolution as a lens through which to analyze social conflicts rather than viewing progress through a deterministic lens. Digitalization, a cornerstone of capital's expansion, paradoxically provides the channels for disparate sectors of social labor to converge and form strategic alliances. This study explores the concept of "the other globalization," acknowledging the ability of global counter-movements to co-opt communication channels to reconstruct themselves and bolster resistance efforts. The Constituent Imagination anthology further underscores the pivotal role of information and communications technologies in empowering social movements within their ongoing struggles.
