- Vektoren,
- Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung und Statistik.
Jedes Kapitel führt in das Thema kurz ein, die verwendeten Begriffe werden definiert. Viele einfache Abbildungen tragen zur Veranschaulichung bei. Ausformulierte Lernziele, die jeweils mit "Ich kann ..." beginnen, helfen, sich die benötigte Mathematik zu erschließen. Das Arbeiten mit Kann-Listen macht den eigenen Lernerfolg für Studierende sichtbar: einfach Abhaken! Darüber hinaus verbindet es das zu Lernende mit der Meta-Ebene des Stoffs, was für nachhaltiges Erinnern entscheidend ist. Der innovative didaktische Ansatz hat sich in der Praxis bewährt.
Jedes Kapitel bietet zusätzlich eine Vielzahl an Aufgaben und schließlich ausführlichen Lösungen. Zu jeder Aufgabe gibt es eine Zeitangabe, die den Studierenden bei der Auswahl zum Anfang hilft. Die Aufgaben selbst sind unterschiedlich, teils auf Anwendung bezogen, teils zum Rechnen, teils zur Klärung der Begrifflichkeiten.
While the topic of artificial intelligence (AI) in multinational enterprises has been receiving attention for some time, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have recently begun to recognize the potential of this new technology. However, the focus of previous research and AI applications has therefore mostly been on large enterprises. This poses a particular issue, as the vastly different starting conditions of various company sizes, such as data availability, play a central role in the context of AI. For this reason, our systematic literature review, based on the PRISMA protocol, consolidates the state of the art of AI with an explicit focus on SMEs and highlights the perceived challenges regarding implementation in this company size. This allowed us to identify various business activities that have been scarcely considered. Simultaneously, it led to the discovery of a total of 27 different challenges perceived by SMEs in the adoption of AI. This enables SMEs to apply the identified challenges to their own AI projects in advance, preventing the oversight of any potential obstacles or risks. The lack of knowledge, costs, and inadequate infrastructure are perceived as the most common barriers to implementation, addressing social, economic, and technological aspects in particular. This illustrates the need for a wide range of support for SMEs regarding an AI introduction, which covers various subject areas, like funding and advice, and differentiates between company sizes.
Innovationen sind die stärksten Gestaltungsfaktoren für eine neue vielversprechende Zukunft, da sie die wichtigsten Treiber für Wachstum und Ertrag in unserer Wirtschaft sind. Die aktuelle Zeitenwende zeigt uns sehr deutlich, dass wir ohne Innovationen bzw. Veränderungen und Anpassungen kaum noch wettbewerbsfähig bleiben, sowohl als Nation bzw. als Gesellschaft und insbesondere als Unternehmen.
Die hohe Dynamik und Komplexität der wirtschaftlichen und sozialen Prozesse setzt neue Maßstäbe an die Innovationsstrategien von Institutionen und Unternehmen.
Neue Technologien, neue Märkte, neues Kundenverhalten und der stetige Wandel sowohl in der Arbeitswelt als auch in unserem gesellschaftlichen Umfeld, wie z.B. die Digitalisierung, zeigen uns, dass allein eine Produktinnovation als solche heute nicht mehr ausreicht. Unter den genannten Randbedingungen müssen Innovationen auch in der Gestaltung von Geschäftsprozessen und Realisierung der "Work-Life-Balance" neu erdacht bzw. überprüft werden.
Der Vorsprung innovativer Produkte im viralen Wettbewerb ist oft nur kurz. Ein ganzheitliches Innovationsmanagement hat alle Bereiche des Unternehmens einzubeziehen und führt zu neuen Geschäftsmodellen, die etablierte Geschäftspraktiken verdrängen, ebenso tauchen durch neue Technologien in immer stärkerem Maße neue Anbieter auf, die die Spielregeln in den Märkten verändern.
Der 1. Deutsche Innovations-Kongress will Impulse setzen, Best-Practice-Modelle als Vorbilder anbieten und im Austausch zwischen den Referent*innen und den Teilnehmer*innen neue Wege bzw. Perspektiven eröffnen.
Wir freuen uns auf alle Teilnehmer*innen und den Erfahrungsaustausch, um aktuelle und nachhaltige Innovations-Impulse zu setzen und neue Wege erfolgversprechende Wege zu beschreiben, womit die bereits fruchtbaren Kooperationen zwischen Wirtschaft und Wissenschaft im Großraum Osnabrück noch weiter belebt werden soll.
Aktuell tragen auch 8 Studierendengruppen des Masterstudiengangs "Entwicklung und Produktion" der Hochschule Osnabrück in der Fakultät I u. I im Rahmen des Moduls "Innovationsmanagement" in Kooperation mit Unternehmen aus der Region durch die Entwicklung neuer innovativer Produkte zum Erfolg des Kongresses bei. Die Zwischenergebnisse dazu werden in einer Poster-Ausstellung präsentiert. Die Innovationsprojekte werden unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Jens Schäfer durchgeführt.
While recent studies have demonstrated that events are fundamentally climate sensitive, this seems to not be fully considered in event research or corporate event practice. Thus, this study aims to identify the influencing factors that affect the acceptance of climate adaptation measures among decision-makers in the event industry. The analysis was divided into three main parts. First, the existing literature related to climate change in an events context was reviewed. Using 15 semi structured interviews, the findings from this review were then critically discussed with stakeholders in Germany involved in event planning. Finally, explicit climate adaptation measures were proposed and discussed. Based on all findings, there appears to be a low level of awareness of and interest in climate adaptation amongst German event industry players. There is an imminent need for further research on climate adaptation and for decision-makers to better prepare for climate change in order to counteract resulting negative impacts.
In der Schriftenreihe „Voneinander Lehren lernen“ publiziert das LearningCenter der Hochschule Osnabrück anwendungsbezogene Beiträge zur Qualitätsentwicklung in Studium und Lehre. Die Schriftenreihe ist an das Konzept des „Scholarship of Teaching and Learning“ (SoTL) angelehnt. Demnach soll sie insbesondere den Fachlehrenden verschiedener Studiengänge als Plattform dienen, um ihre eigenen Erfahrungen, Ideen und Konzepte zur Lehr- und Studiengangentwicklung systematisch zu reflektieren und entsprechende Erkenntnisse für andere nutzbar zu machen. Ziel ist es, den Diskurs über hochschuldidaktische Themen in die Fächer zu tragen und so die Qualität der Lehr-Lernprozesse in den Studiengängen zu fördern. In diesem fünften Band der Schriftenreihe werden Projekte der Hochschule Osnabrück beschrieben, deren Umsetzung durch verschiedene Förderlinien oder durch Studienqualitätsmittel unterstützt wurde. Die Textbeiträge sind sowohl inhaltlich als auch didaktisch-methodisch sehr vielschichtig. Eine Gemeinsamkeit liegt jedoch darin, dass sie jeweils eine konstruktive hochschuldidaktische Reaktion auf zukunftsbezogene Trends und daraus resultierende Kompetenz-Anforderungen an Hochschulabsolvent*innen widerspiegeln. Der Terminologie des Zukunftsinstituts folgend sind es primär die Megatrends „Konnektivität“, „New Work“, „Gesundheit“, „Wissenskultur“ und „Globalisierung“, die in den Beiträgen implizit oder explizit thematisiert werden.
Purpose
This study operationalizes risks in stakeholder dialog (SD). It conceptualizes SD as co-produced organizational discourse and examines the capacities of organizers' and stakeholders' practices to create a shared understanding of an organization’s risks to their mutual benefit. The meetings and online forum of a German public service media (PSM) organization were used as a case study.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors applied corpus-driven linguistic discourse analysis (topic modeling) to analyze citizens' (n = 2,452) forum posts (n = 14,744). Conversation analysis was used to examine video-recorded online meetings.
Findings
Organizers suspended actors' reciprocity in meetings. In the forums, topics emerged autonomously. Citizens' articulation of their identities was more diverse than the categories the organizer provided, and organizers did not respond to the autonomous emergence of contextualizations of citizens' perceptions of PSM performance in relation to their identities. The results suggest that risks arise from interactionally achieved occasions that prevent reasoned agreement and from actors' practices, which constituted autonomous discursive formations of topics and identities in the forums.
Originality/value
This study disentangles actors' practices, mutuality orientation and risk enactment during SD. It advances the methodological knowledge of strategic communication research on SD, utilizing social constructivist research methods to examine the contingencies of organization-stakeholder interaction in SD.
Compliance of agricultural AI systems : app-based legal verification throughout the development
(2024)
Significant advances in artificial intelligence (AI) have been achieved; however, practical implementation in agriculture remains limited. Compliance with emerging regulations, such as the EU AI Act and GDPR, is now vital, even for non-critical AI systems. Developers need tools to assess legal compliance, which is complex, often requiring full legal advice. To address this issue, we are developing a support app that simplifies the legal aspects of AI system development, covering the entire lifecycle, from conception to distribution. The current app, which covers the key legal area of copyright and will soon include GDPR and the AI Act, aims to bridge the gap between AI research and agriculture. An evaluation of our app by experts from both the legal and the IT domains shows that the app assists the developers so that they make legally correct statements. Consequently, it promotes legal compliance and awareness among developers, contributing to the seamless integration of AI into agriculture. The need for compliant AI systems in various industries, including agriculture, will only increase as regulations evolve.
Artificial intelligence (AI) promises transformative impacts on society, industry, and agriculture, while being heavily reliant on diverse, quality data. The resource-intensive "data
problem" has initialized a shift to synthetic data. One downside of synthetic data is known as the "reality gap", a lack of realism. Hybrid data, combining synthetic and real data, addresses this. The paper examines terminological inconsistencies and proposes a unified taxonomy for real, synthetic, augmented, and hybrid data. It aims to enhance AI training datasets in smart agriculture, addressing the challenges in the agricultural data landscape. Utilizing hybrid data in AI models offers improved prediction performance and adaptability.
Schlampige Reiteration
(2024)
The development of base metal electrodes that can act as active and stable oxygen generating electrodes in water electrolysis systems, especially at low pH levels, remains a challenge. The use of suspensions as electrolytes for water splitting has until recently been limited to photoelectrocatalytic approaches. A high current density (j=30 mA/cm2) for water electrolysis has been achieved at a very low oxygen evolution reaction (OER) potential (E=1.36 V vs. RHE) using a SnO2/H2SO4 suspension-based electrolyte in combination with a steel anode. More importantly, the high charge-to-oxygen conversion rate (Faraday efficiency of 88% for OER at j=10 mA/cm2 current density). Since cyclic voltammetry (CV) experiments show that oxygen evolution starts at a low, but not exceptionally low, potential, the reason for the low potential in chronoamperometry (CP) tests is an increase in the active electrode area, which has been confirmed by various experiments. For the first time, the addition of a relatively small amount of solids to a clear electrolyte has been shown to significantly reduce the overpotential of the OER in water electrolysis down to the 100 mV region, resulting in a remarkable reduction in anode wear while maintaining a high current density.
In Deutschland werden 80% der auf Pflege angewiesenen Menschen im häuslichen Umfeld versorgt, 56 % davon aufgrund sozialer Beziehungen ausschließlich von informell pflegenden Personen. Die Anzahl häuslicher Pflegearrangements steigt seit Jahren kontinuierlich bei bereits erreichter Kapazitätsgrenze existierender ambulanter Dienste. Um einen Beitrag zum wissenschaftlichen Verständnis pflegerischer Versorgung im häuslichen Setting zu leisten, wurden insgesamt 18 narrative Interviews zu Wunsch und Wirklichkeit häuslicher Pflege mit pflegebedürftigen und pflegenden Personen sowie zwei Expert*innen geführt und nach den Prinzipien der Grounded Theory ausgewertet. Die entwickelte Akzeptanztheorie bietet einen grundsätzlichen Erklärungsansatz informeller Pflege und verweist auf die dringliche und unabdingbar notwendige Weiterentwicklung ambulanter Versorgungsstrukturen, sollen Pflegearrangements in großer Anzahl weiterhin Bestand haben.
The 3GPP release 16 integrates TSN functionality into 5G and standardizes various options for TSN time synchronization over 5G such as transparent mode and bridge mode. The time domains for the TSN network and the 5G network are kept separate with an option to synchronize either of the networks to the other. The TSN time synchronization over 5G is possible either by using the IEEE 1588 generalized Precision Time Protocol (gPTP) based on UDP/IP multicast or via IEEE 802.1AS based on Ethernet PDUs. The INET and Simu5G simulation frameworks, which are both based on the OMNeT++ discrete event simulator, are widely used for simulating TSN and 5G networks. The INET framework comprises the 802.1AS based time synchronization mechanism, and Simu5G provides the 5G user plane carrying IP PDUs. We modified the 802.1AS-based synchronization model of INET so that it works over UDP/IP. With that, it is possible to synchronize TSN slaves (connected to 5G UEs), across a 5G network, with a TSN master clock, present within a TSN network, that is connected to the 5G core network. Our simulation results show that 500 microseconds of synchronization accuracy can be achieved with the corrected asymmetric propagation delay of uplink and downlink between the gNodeB (gNB) and the User Equipment (UE). Furthermore, the synchronization accuracy can be improved if the delay difference between uplink and downlink is known.
Recent real-time networking developments have enabled ultra reliability, very low latency and high data rates in wired networks. Wireless networking developments have also shown that they can achieve very high data rates with consistency, but they still lack in providing ultra reliability and extremely low latency. Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) developments have brought these capabilities in Industry automation and Automotive industry too. Although TSN is standardized for wired networks for a long time, for wireless networks it will be standardized within the IEEE 802.11be standard for Wi-Fi and 3GPP Release 17 for 5G in the near future. This paper provides an overview of TSN in wired and wireless networks with the aim of comparing different simulators and presenting their offered functionality and shortcomings. These tools can be used to make oneself familiar with TSN algorithms, standards, and for the development and testing of time sensitive networks. Afterwards, the paper discusses open research questions for using TSN over wireless networks.
Water retention properties of wood fiber based growing media and their impact on irrigation strategy
(2024)
Distribution of water and air in growing media during ebb-and-flow irrigation depends on water storage properties (water retention curve) and water transport properties (hydraulic conductivity) of the materials. Growing media with their high number of coarse pores are known to exhibit strong hysteresis, i.e., differences in the water retention properties during drying and wetting cycles. To account for potential ecological disadvantages of peat, wood fibers are commonly used as substitutes for peat in growing media. However, the wood fibers generally have higher air capacities and hydraulic conductivities and lower water capacities compared to peat which may results in necessary adaptions of the irrigation strategy. Tools to optimize irrigation systems are physically based water transport models, such as HYDRUS-1D, which is commonly used to describe water transport in soils, but not often for growing media. In this study, white peat and pure wood fibers were used to describe differences in their water retention behavior. Water retention curves (drying cycles) and hydraulic conductivities were measured with standard analytical procedures. Hysteresis of the water retention curves was analytically determined based on their capillary rise properties. The results were used with a modified HYDRUS-1D model to test model quality against measured water contents during ebb-and-flow irrigation cycles and to optimize the irrigation strategy for the different materials. The results showed that the model quality was sufficiently good only if the strong hysteresis of the water retention curves was considered during the simulation process. Different strategies were tested to modify ebb-and-flow irrigation (irrigation frequency, irrigation duration and irrigation height) in that way that the water suction in the root zone was similar to that of the peat material. Simulation results showed that significant improvements could only be reached by increasing the flooding depth in ebb-and-flow systems to ensure an optimum water supply of plants in the wood fiber based growing media.
Wood fibers can contribute to replacing peat in growing media and thus help to protect peatlands. As domestic, renewable raw materials, they represent a sustainable option for this purpose. To date, however, wood fibers are usually used as a peat substitute at a maxi-mum of 30% (v/v). A main reason for this limitation is the insufficient microbial stability of wood fibers, which favors nitrogen immobilization and can thus impair nitrogen supply of plants. To address this drawback, in this study wood fibers were subjected to different thermal or thermal-hydrolytic treatments. Seedling tests with napa cabbage were conducted to determine whether treated wood fibers were free of phytotoxic substances. Mixtures with 50% (v/v) wood fiber and white peat each were used. In addition, three wood fiber varieties were evaluated in the cultivation of petunia. Two wood fiber proportions (30 and 60% v/v) and two nitrogen fertilization rates (common and increased supply) were included in each case. In the seedling trial with napa cabbage, no phytotoxic effects were detectable in any of the wood fiber variants investigated. However, when cultivating petunias, both shoot mass growth and number of flowers decreased with increasing wood fiber content. In substrates with a wood fiber content of 60% (v/v), plant development was inhibited so severely that the petunias no longer achieved marketable quality. Increased nitrogen fertilization was able to compensate for this negative effect only in few cases. This suggests that other factors than nitrogen limited plant growth in wood fiber-rich substrates. Among others, physical proper-ties such as the lower water capacity of wood fibers may be a cause. More in-depth investigations are still required in this regard.
