  abstract  = {Gamification is an ever more popular method to increase motivation and user experience in real-world settings. It is widely used in the areas of marketing, health and education. However, in production environments, it is a new concept. To be accepted in the industrial domain, it has to be seamlessly integrated in the regular work processes. In this work we make the following contributions to the field of gamification in production: (1) we analyze the state of the art and introduce domain-specific requirements; (2) we present two implementations gamifying production based on alternative design approaches; (3) these are evaluated in a sheltered work organization. The comparative study focuses acceptance, motivation and perceived happiness. The results reveal that a pyramid design showing each work process as a step on the way towards a cup at the top is strongly preferred to a more abstract approach where the processes are represented by a single circle and two bars.},

  abstract  = {In this work we provide an overview of gamification, i.e. the application of methods from game design to enrich non-gaming processes. The contribution is divided into five subsections: an introduction focusing on the progression of gamification through the hype cycle in the recent years (1), a brief introduction to gamification mechanics (1) and an overview of the state of the art in established areas (3). The focus is a discussion of more recent attempts of gamification in service and production (4). We also discuss the ethical implications (5) and the future perspectives (6) of gamified business processes. Gamification has been successfully applied in the domains education (serious games) and health (exergames) and is spreading to other areas. In recent years there have been various attempts to "gamify" business processes. While the first efforts date back as far as the collection of miles in frequent flyer programs, we will portray some of the more recent and comprehensive software-based approaches in the service industry, e.g. the gamification of processes in sales and marketing. We discuss their accomplishments as well as their social and ethical implicatio. Finally a very recent approach is presented: the application of gamification in the domain of industrial production. We discuss the special requirements in this domain and the effects on the business level and on the users. We conclude with a prognosis on the future development of gamification.},

  abstract  = {Mit zunehmender Digitalisierung ist zu erwarten, dass die Informationsflut, hinsichtlich der t{\"a}glich auf die Rezipienten einprasselnden Werbebotschaften, immer weiter zunimmt. Dies mag f{\"u}r Werbetreibende mit hohen Budgets und vorhandener Reichweite keine Herausforderung darstellen, dennoch gibt es einen großen Teil der Unternehmen in Deutschland, welche von eben jene bereits bestehenden Voraussetzungen nicht profitieren k{\"o}nnen. Im Bereich der klein- und mittelst{\"a}ndischen Unternehmen, zu denen auch ein Großteil der Handwerksunternehmen z{\"a}hlen, ist ein {\"u}berm{\"a}ßig großes Werbebudget meist nicht vorhanden. Um das eigene Unternehmen von Mitbewerbern und Konkurrenz abzuheben, finden immer innovativere Werbeformen den Einsatz in der Unternehmenskommunikation. Hierbei l{\"a}sst sich eine Tendenz weg von der klassischen Push-Kommunikation hin zu einer wohlbedachten Pull-Kommunikation entdecken. In diesem Bereich ist das Buzzwort Content-Marketing in aller Munde und fungiert als {\"u}bergeordnete Instanz des Storytellings. Ferner bietet die Entwicklung von rein informativen Werbebotschaften hin zum ,Geschichten erz{\"a}hlen' eine Vielzahl von Vorteilen. Neben einer gr{\"o}ßeren Viralkraft, bleiben Geschichten durch bessere Verkn{\"u}pfung im ,neuronalen Netz' des Gehirns l{\"a}nger und nachdr{\"u}cklicher im Ged{\"a}chtnis der Zielgruppe. Dar{\"u}ber hinaus bietet Storytelling, online wie offline, hervorragende M{\"o}glichkeiten hinsichtlich der Distribution. Die vorliegende Bachelorarbeit bietet einen Implementierungsleitfaden f{\"u}r Storytelling-Maßnahmen f{\"u}r die Bereich Print und Screen, sowie eine Bewertung der Plattformen hinsichtlich der Distribution. Zu den Vor{\"u}berlegungen einer Implementierung von Storytelling in die Unternehmenskommunikation, wurden in den Unterthemen außerdem die strategischen Aspekte der Integrationsstufen und der Distributionskan{\"a}le vorgenommen. Durch eine Befragung potenzieller Kunden von Handwerksunternehmen, k{\"o}nnen R{\"u}ckschl{\"u}sse auf die beliebtesten Inhalte einer Storytelling-Kampagne von Handwerksunternehmen gewonnen werden. Somit kann die Kundenansprache durch Storytelling effektiver und gewinnbringender betrieben werden.},

  abstract  = {Do you know that for each banana bunch the complete plant must be cut as well? Only in Brazil 440 million trees are planted annually. With an average weight of 30 kg per banana plant you can estimate about 13,5 million tons of banana residues per year. Although there exist some projects to use these residues for the production of valuable products (e.g fibers for textile and paper production) most of this organic waste material is unused and left for composting on the farmland. The basic idea of this project is to evaluate this organic waste material for converting it to a renewable and CO2 neutral fuel. Therefore, the different parts of the banana plant (heart, leaves and pseudo stem) were analyzed regarding their biogas potential (specific biogas yield and biogas production kinetics). In further studies the effect of mechanical and enzymatic pretreatments of the different parts of the plants was investigated. This examination could then be the basis for an energetic usage of this organic residue. The biogas batch experiments were performed according to the german guideline VDI 4630 in 2-L-Batch reactors at 37°C. As biogas substrates, the heart, the leaves and the pseudo stem of the banana plant residue with and without enzymatic/mechanical pretreatment were used. The different parts of the banana plants result in a specific biogas production yield in the range of 260-470 norm liters per kg organic dry mass. To determine the influence of the mechanical pretreatment (particle size 1-15 mm) on the biogas production kinetics, the kinetic constants were defined and calculated. The reduction of the particle size leads to an improved biogas production kinetics. Therefore experiments will demonstrate, if the results from the batch experiments can be converted in the continuous fed biogas reactor. The experiments of the enzymatic pretreatment are still under investigation.},
