description: Im Jahr 2024 waren und sind so viele Augen wie nie zuvor auf die Integrität und Resilienz von demokratischen Wahlen gerichtet. Die Sorge vor Desinformationskampagnen war im Superwahljahr hoch – und bleibt es mit Blick auf die US-Wahlen im November. Weltweit haben die Aufmerksamkeit und die Untersuchung von Desinformationskampagnen, das heißt der absichtlichen und manipulativen Verbreitung von Falschinformationen, enorm zugenommen: Im November 2023 deklarierte die New York Times die Wahlen in Argentinien zur ersten KI-Wahl und prognostizierte eine Welle an KI-generierten Falschinformationen. Zahlreiche Analysen zu Taiwan (Januar), Indonesien (Februar), Südafrika (Mai), Mexiko (Juni) und den Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament (Juni) folgten. Der rote Faden: Desinformationskampagnen von staatsnahen Akteur:innen (Russland, China) werden lanciert, Bots und „Fake-Accounts“ versuchen, auf sozialen Medien Stimmung zu machen, und KI-generierte Inhalte kommen in allen Ländern zum Einsatz. Inwieweit solche Kampagnen verfangen, Wähler:innenverhalten beeinflussen und digitale Diskurse nachhaltig manipulieren, ist eine entscheidende Frage. Diese gilt es nicht zuletzt deshalb zu beantworten, weil weitere richtungsweisende Wahlen bevorstehen – neben den US-Präsidentschaftswahlen in diesem Jahr auch die deutsche Bundestagswahl im kommenden Jahr.

Vor diesem Hintergrund wollten wir ein tiefgreifendes Verständnis dafür entwickeln, wie gut unsere Gesellschaften auf die Herausforderungen durch Desinformation vorbereitet sind und welche Maßnahmen aus Perspektive der Bevölkerung ergriffen werden sollten.

REDUCTION OF THE TOTAL ACID NUMBER OF SUDANESE HEAVY CRUDE OIL
Creators: name: Ibrahim Mahmoud1,∗ Ahmed Mahjub2, Babiker Karama Abdalla3, Gurashi Gasmel seed4
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: Sudanese heavy crude oils often exhibit high acidity, primarily due to significant concentrations of naphthenic acids (NAs), which are quantified by the Total Acid Number (TAN). Elevated TAN levels result in severe corrosion of refining and production equipment, storage tanks, and transport facilities, thereby increasing operational risks and lowering marketability due to reduced crude oil prices. This study investigates a method to reduce NAs in high-TAN crude oil using sodium hydroxide (NaOH) combined with a demulsifier under applied voltage. Experimental results demonstrate a significant reduction in TAN through this approach.

description: Since 2007, many chemical industrial companies in the Russian Federation have been actively involved in the Responsible Care® international voluntary program. To implement this program, vast bodies of data on environmental impact assessments needs to be collected. This allows us to analyse the environment-oriented trends in economic and social activities, and to record the achievements and problems in this field. The collected large bodies of data are in many cases heterogeneous, since the report has been a voluntary initiative. To analyse the existing trends in business processes, authors applied the methodology for system analysis of large bodies of data and used their own heuristic approximation algorithm for the treatment of accumulated data. This algorithm gives us the unique possibility of evaluating the performance of both individual chemical companies in the framework of the Responsible Care® program and the Russian chemical industry as a whole.

description: The ready-made garment (RMG) industries in Bangladesh have become very competitive to cope with the competitors. The performance of this sector has attracted many countries to invest their money safely here and also earns foreign currency by exporting different materials like jute yarn. Jute yarn is a spun material which is prepared to use for weaving, knitting, sewing threads, carpets, carrying bags etc. In fiscal year 2015-16, according to data from Bangladesh’s Export Promotion Bureau (EPB), Bangladesh has earned $559 million by exporting jute yarn and twine. To meet the growing demand of jute yarn worldwide, Bangladesh still has lots of possibilities to earn huge amount of foreign currency by improving the quality. It’s a persistent need for Bangladeshi local jute yarn manufacturers to come forward, seek possibilities for improving quality, and fulfill the worldwide demand. The paper focuses on the application of AHP based QFD approach on a manufacturing company to improve its quality of product and improving the level of customer satisfaction. The paper shows how customer requirements can be identified and used them to prioritize the design requirements for improving quality of jute yarn. Here, AHP is integrated into house of quality (HOQ) that can be guide for overcoming the pitfalls of traditional QFD.

Im Zentrum stehen dabei Fragen nach Beginn und Dynamik der Besiedlung sowie zur Motivation der prähistorischen Menschen, solche inneralpinen Lebensräume aufzusuchen. Vor dem Hintergrund der reichen Kupfer- und Eisenerzlagerstätten am Bartholomäberg wird untersucht, inwieweit diese mit dem Beginn der Besiedlung in Zusammenhang stehen und ausgebeutet wurden. Bisher wurden drei Siedlungsplätze am Bartholomäberg entdeckt, prospektiert und durch Ausgrabungen frei gelegt, deren topografische Lage und bronzezeitliche sowie eisenzeitliche Siedlungsphasen ein enges räumliches und zeitliches Verhältnis vermuten lassen.

description: The strategy is a macro and strategic plan, and will only be implemented when it is defined in the form of various projects. In order to exploit the benefits of lean six sigma projects, these projects should be in line with the strategic goals of the organization. Organizations should select projects which are compatible with the organization overall goals and fulfill the strategic requirements of the organization. The purpose of this study is to identify the strategic process among the bank facility processes to use it in lean six sigma methodology in order to improve process performance and efficiency using a combination of cross-efficiency and extended balanced scorecard methods. In the first step, the criteria for selecting the strategic process were identified using the six measures of the balanced scorecard method. In the second step, after collecting information using the cross-efficiency model based on satisfaction level, the bank facility processes are ranked based on the efficiency score. The results show that the ranking of the processes under consideration is carried out without any interference, and one of the processes (process 3) is considered as the strategic process to use in the six sigma methodology.

description: The decades of economic crisis and political uncertainties in Zimbabwe since independence in 1980 have culminated in exponential increases in the central government’s indebtedness. This paper, therefore, seeks to examine the evolution of government debt, both domestic and foreign, in Zimbabwe from 1980 to 2015. At the centre of the discussions are the public-debt structural reforms and frameworks, debt trends and the associated debt-management challenges over the review period. The paper identified four distinctive phases of public-debt evolution in Zimbabwe between 1980 and 2015: (1) 1980 to 1989, in which government debt was still small, but increasing gradually; (2) 1990 to 1997, in which public sector indebtedness was increasing exponentially – mostly due to substantial economic structural adjustment reforms, maturity of previous debts and severe economic crises; (3) 1998 to 2008, in which economic recession and subsequent revenue constraints led to the massive accumulation of public debt arrears; and (4) 2009 to 2015, in which the country experienced an economic rebound leading to some paltry payments on foreign public debt arrears. Among the recommended government debt management principles in Zimbabwe is the need to devise market-friendly trade and investment policies that would enable the government to expand its revenue base, thus effectively reduce the state’s reliance on debt financing and also avoid the future accumulation of any arrears.

 formation under socialism: evidence from Yugoslavia

Subjects: subject: H Social Sciences

description: Yugoslavia provides a fascinating historical setting to analyse the consequences of socialism – the greatest socio-economic experiment of the 20th century. Yugoslavia was one of fastest growing countries in the world until the late 1970s. During this period, it followed a different institutional trajectory compared to other socialist economies. But, during the 1980s, economic growth came to a standstill, and the country eventually descended into civil war.
 This doctoral dissertation is motivated by the aforementioned observations. It seeks to analyse them. The core of the thesis is composed of three closely related, but self-standing, papers. The unifying theme of the three papers is economic development in socialist Yugoslavia. The first paper revisits aggregate economic growth in Yugoslavia. I find that distorted labour incentives caused the slowdown of the Yugoslav economy. I argue that labour-managed firms hindered the ability of Yugoslavs to work. Since Yugoslavia was extremely heterogeneous, the second paper moves below the aggregate level in order to reconstruct the regional development trajectories. I find that regional income divergence was caused by the failure of the poorer regions to converge towards the employment rates and efficiency levels of the richer regions. I argue that this failure was caused by labour-managed firms as well, whereby they had a spatially uneven economic impact.
 In Yugoslavia, regional economic tensions were reinforcing, and were reinforced by, ethnic tensions. In the third paper, I explore ethnic relations by analysing the formation of Yugoslav national sentiment and its economic effects. I find that ethnically diverse municipalities were conducive towards the formation of Yugoslav sentiment because they stimulated ethnic intermarriage. In addition, I find that municipalities that contained a larger amount of self-declared Yugoslavs experienced a lower population fraction of deaths during the Bosnian War of 1992-1995.
Changing Student Summer Behavior:   Purdue Summer Stay Scholars

description: Recent efforts by many colleges and universities to increase the on-campus component of summer enrollment is driven by a variety of motives, including better use of campus infrastructure, the benefits of smaller class sizes, targeted interventions for at-risk students, and increased opportunities for high-impact experiences such as on-campus internships and research with faculty. Purdue University is placing a high priority on increasing on-campus undergraduate summer enrollment as part of a presidential strategy. In 2016, Purdue piloted “Summer Stay Scholars,” a new initiative during the 12-week summer session that was designed to influence student behavior and attitudes related to on-campus opportunities during the summer. Summer Stay Scholars is a scholarship program that incentivizes 100–150 undergraduate students who decided not to enroll in their first summer at Purdue to remain on campus in a subsequent summer and take courses. In its first year, Summer Stay Scholars offered full coverage of tuition and fees for two or three on-campus summer courses. In addition, scholarship recipients were required to complete 140 hours in an oncampus internship or research project, designed to help students get ahead with degree completion and gain meaningful experiences that could aid them in their future careers. We hypothesized that Summer Stay Scholars would be more likely to return to campus in future summers, and that other students and faculty would become more aware of campus-based summer opportunities as a result of hearing about the experiences of Summer Stay Scholars.

Towards Robust Optimization of Arbitrary Superconducting Qubits

Superconducting qubits

description: Superconducting qubits are one of the leading platforms for quantum computing. While simple "single-mode" qubits such as the transmon or fluxonium are dominant in most large-scale applications, qubits with more degrees of freedom show great promise in achieving higher coherence times. However, it remains difficult to understand generic design principles for complicated circuits. Numerical optimization is a tempting approach, but faces many nuanced challenges. In this thesis, we present a general framework to perform such optimization robustly. In particular, we propose a well-supported method for truncating the infinite-dimensional circuit Hamiltonian which allows for faster optimization. We also offer heuristics on identifying gate charge sweet spots for generic circuits, supported by numerics. Finally, we show results from an optimization implementation using particle swarm, and demonstrate that it is able to effectively improve our desired metrics by orders of magnitude. Together, this provides start-to-end optimization which can easily be extended to new circuits and new design goals.

description: In this thesis, we explore the possibility of optimizing general superconducting circuits via autodifferentiation. Following a summary of the essential components of superconducting circuits leading to a generalized expression for their Hamiltonian, we use an analytical solution for the gradient of the eigenvalues and eigenvectors to fill in a missing gradient step and form a general computational graph for arbitrary smooth loss functions that depend on circuit parameter values and its eigenvalues or eigenvectors.

After verifying numerically that the resultant gradients predicted match a first-order approximation to high precision, we leverage knowledge of the gradient to perform optimization over key metrics including the fundamental resonant frequency of the circuit, its anharmonicity, charge and flux sensitivities, and both its longitudinal and dephasing coherence times. We demonstrate by comparison of these key metrics before and after that the minimization of our objective loss functions corresponds to the intended improvement in circuit characteristics. We demonstrate concurrent optimization of each of these objectives in the flux-tunable transmon and fluxonium circuit topologies, then show that randomly sampling parameter values within some fixed range can lead to optimization on-par with SOTA experimental devices.

Finally, we assess how to address the problem of allocating truncation numbers for fixed computational resources, to maximize the convergence of the circuit eigenspectrum. Using this means of truncation number allocation, we undertake a preliminary investigation of a circuit with N = 3 inductive (Josephson junction) elements, showing that its overall performance for a small set of random samples can outperform that of both kinds of circuits with only N = 2 single-loop inductive elements. We conclude with an outlook on further applications of the tools and methodologies developed here, particularly with regards to designing better qubits for design and experimentation in-lab.

description: Household food waste is a crucial problem in developed countries. Food waste behaviour is the result of complex interactions among economic factors, deeply rooted habits, and social norms. It can thus be considered a measure of the social capital characterizing a community. We test this hypothesis using a national-level dataset on household food-related behaviours and opinions in Italy gathered in 2016. This country is an ideal test bed for a comparative analysis on social capital. We find household food waste measures to be negatively related with the local level of social capital. This relationship is mediated by family income, as it becomes weaker for better-off families. Furthermore, we find that behaviours and opinions eliciting status concerns with respect to food, as well as lack of organisational abilities, generate increased food waste. In turn, these behaviours and opinions are more prevalent in areas with low social capital. Our results, captured by a simple model where food waste decisions are considered in the context of a modified public good game, allow to derive several policy implications for the reduction of food waste.

description: In this poster we will show the method we have used to check the correctness of a controlled selection of citations from the top five journals in political science (2009 and 2019). We initially downloaded all references from each year, using Web of Science. From these we randomly selected 50 references from each journal. These 50 were then checked by the research team, expanding the dataset when a reference was cited more than once in the document. The research team consists of 3 research librarians (LEB, MRJ and SS) and a professor of political science (JM). The work is still ongoing, but the method is established. Currently, we have completed work on the dataset from 2019 and we look forward to presenting our preliminary results. The poster will illustrate the workflow from choosing the references to be controlled, downloading the references from Web of Science and comparing the contents of the article under scrutiny (the “document”) with the contents of the citation being checked (the “reference”). When the citation from the document has been checked, we code the reference in our spreadsheet (Fully substantiated, partially substantiated, unsubstantiated and impossible to substantiate). In addition we also code other relevant attributes such as string citation (yes/no), reference type (book/ conference/article/other), pagination (yes/no), reference location in document (page number), location in reference (page number), negative/positive citation. Our work draws heavily on Smith & Cumberledge (2020) and their work checking citations in general science journals. Their results from studying quotation errors suggest that these errors are more widespread than is commonly assumed. Our preliminary results show that political science also have some skeletons in the closet. This work is part of an ongoing process where the library seeks to work closely with researchers, seeking to utilize the strength of all involved. We have previously published a study on the state of political science using bibliometric methods (Jensen & Moses 2021). Once analysis is completed, we plan on publishing our findings in a journal article and publish our dataset in a data repository so that our work can be replicated.

description: Any technological process including metallurgical processes is supported by the control system operation, accompanied by large information flows to be formed. However, the most part of this information is not used by specialists due to restricted capabilities of a human being that is, in fact, incapable of processing such information flows. It has been demonstrated that process control is significantly influenced by the human factor. This paper contains a methodology to process production information that permits the process personnel to use its potential in a more rational way to control the process. An approach has been reviewed to studying metallurgical processes using the analysis of indirect indicators of process management, namely the spectral density and auto-correlation function of main process parameters. A method to separate useful signals from noise has been studied. A method has been given to check the ACS management efficiency using primary material flows. The adopted methodology for processing experimental data permits interpreting the obtained results for their further practical application to develop new algorithms for process control and improve the existing control system.

description: The objective of study is to analyze the significance of various Technology Push (TP) strategies affecting sustainable development in Indian manufacturing organizations. An extensive survey of 92 companies has been executed for the present context. The study examines the use of Multiple-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) and Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method for evaluation of substantial TP strategies. For the purpose, a comparative analysis of various TP strategies using Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and VlseKriterijuska Optimizacija I Komoromisno Resenje (VIKOR) technique has been executed in the study. The outcomes of empirical calculations signify that the proposed techniques are appropriate to analyze the significance of TP strategies. The comparison of results exhibit that ranking of TP strategies evaluated using VIKOR technique is similar to the ranks obtained by TOPSIS. The focus of the paper is on the distinguishable contributions made by TP strategies like, innovative capability, research and development, corporate strategy and export orientation, for realization of sustainable development in manufacturing industries. It has been acknowledged in the investigation that manufacturing enterprises need to work more actively on managing certain TP strategies.

description: The purpose of this study is to examine the link between strategy formulation process and innovation performance indicators in microfinance banks in Nigeria (MFBs). 100 employees of leading microfinance banks were randomly selected for this study. 80 questionnaires were returned but only 76 were found usable for the analysis. Regression analysis technique was used in examining the nature of the relationships of the variables and for hypotheses testing. The authors used exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach’s alpha to test for the validity and reliability of the questionnaires. The results show that strategy formulation process has a positive effect on process innovation performance, product innovation performance and marketing innovation performance. Thus, all the three hypotheses tested were supported. The authors, therefore, concludes that a systematic strategy formulation process is necessary for firms to achieve and sustain process innovation performance, product innovation performance and marketing innovation performance. This study proposed suggestion for further studies.

description: The main aim of this research was to study the relationship between perceived quality (PQ) and satisfaction in Higher education, and especially to identify if these variables could differ between groups of students exposed to different teaching methods. A quantitative study was conducted at a Portuguese Faculty of Health Sciences, through a survey applied to a final sample of 359 students. Data analysis was performed through a structural equation model, using, for this purpose, the PLS method. Results confirm that PQ is positively related to students’ satisfaction in the Higher Education Institutions (HEI) context, and that PQ and satisfaction are significantly different when students are exposed to different teaching approaches. Although there is a substantial body of evidence regarding teaching methods in HEI, to our knowledge there is no reliable prior study that explicitly approached the influence of alternative teaching methods on students’ satisfaction and their perception of service quality.

description: Abstract

This work proposes a novel approach to improve the classification of COVID-19 CT images using a combination of Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM), Colour Co-occurrence Vector (CCV), and Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) features. Moreover, a Genetic Algorithm (GA) is employed to enhance the classification efficacy even more. Using these state-of-the-art approaches, the proposed strategy aims to improve the COVID-19 CT scan categorization's accuracy and durability. The aim of this work is to improve a genetic algorithm for the classification of COVID-19 CT scan images by including a discrete wavelet transform (DWT), colour consistency vector (CCV), and GLCM removal approach at high grayscale levels. This combination aims to increase the discriminatory power of certain criteria and thus increase the accuracy of the machine learning model. Specifically, Linear Support Vector Machine (L-SVM), Fisher-KNN (F-KNN) and Fisher visual decision tree (F-Tree) were used to model the classification. Genetic methods have been employed to create specific options aimed at improving the accuracy of models in identifying COVID-19 patterns on CT images. The results of this study provide insight into ongoing efforts to improve COVID-19 diagnostics through the integration of architecture, genetic algorithms, and machine learning models. Among the proposed methods, the fuzzy tree classifier achieved 93.55% accuracy, whereas some other classifiers (Naive Bayes, L-SVM and F-KNN) achieved 92.6%, 92.12%, and 92.33% accuracy, respectively.
