The Effect of Gamification on Emotions - The Potential of Facial Recognition in Work Environmentsns
(2015)
Gamification means using video game elements to improve user experience and user engagement in non-game services and applications. This article describes the effects when gamification is used in work contexts. Here we focus on industrial production. We describe how facial recognition can be employed to measure and quantify the effect of gamification on the users’ emotions.
The quantitative results show that gamification significantly reduces both task completion time and error rate. However, the results concerning the effect on emotions are surprising. Without gamification there are not only more unhappy expressions (as to expect) but surprisingly also more happy expressions. Both findings are statistically highly significant.
We think that in redundant production work there are generally more (negative) emotions involved. When there is no gamification happy and unhappy balance each other. In contrast gamification seems to shift the spectrum of moods towards “relaxed”. Especially for work environments such a calm attitude is a desirable effect on the users. Thus our findings support the use of gamification.
Video game developers continuously increase the degree of details and realism in games to create more human-like characters. But increasing the human-likeness becomes a problem in regard to the Uncanny Valley phenomenon that predicts negative feelings of people towards artificial entities. We developed an avatar creation system to examine preferences towards parametrized faces and explore in regard to the Uncanny Valley phenomenon how people design faces that they like or reject. Based on the 3D model of the Caucasian average face, 420 participants generate 1341 faces of positively and negatively associated concepts of both gender. The results show that some characteristics associated with the Uncanny Valley are used to create villains or repulsive faces. Heroic faces get attractive features but are rarely and little stylized. A voluntarily designed face is very similar to the heroine. This indicates that there is a tendency of users to design feminine and attractive but still credible faces.

Kapitel 9 wurde entsprechend der neuen Anbieterstruktur überarbeitet und Kapitel 10 um die Adsorptionstechniken ergänzt. Die Kapitel 17-20 wurden vollständig überarbeitet und stellen den aktuellen Stand der globalen politischen Aspekte dar.
Recent advances in motion recognition allow the development of Context-Aware Assistive Systems (CAAS) for industrial workplaces that go far beyond the state of the art: they can capture a user's movement in real-time and provide adequate feedback. Thus, CAAS can address important questions, like Which part is assembled next? Where do I fasten it? Did an error occur? Did I process the part in time? These new CAAS can also make use of projectors to display the feedback within the corresponding area on the workspace (in-situ). Furthermore, the real-time analysis of work processes allows the implementation of motivating elements (gamification) into the repetitive work routines that are common in manual production. In this chapter, the authors first describe the relevant backgrounds from industry, computer science, and psychology. They then briefly introduce a precedent implementation of CAAS and its inherent problems. The authors then provide a generic model of CAAS and finally present a revised and improved implementation.
Zeitungsverlage haben jahrzehntelang in einem sehr stabilen Marktumfeld agiert, sodass die Kunst darin bestand, das Umfeld möglichst weiterhin konstant zu halten und die bestehenden Märkte und Produkte zu optimieren. Die neuen Medien- und Produktformen, die in dieser Zeit im Publikums- und Werbemarkt aufkamen, wurden bei den lokalen und regionalen Verlagen in das eigene Angebotsspektrum integriert, sodass am Ende im Regelfall ein oftmals kleiner, aber hochprofitabler Medienkonzern ins Internetzeitalter eintrat. Hier kommen nun zunehmend Anforderungen an digitale Geschäftsmodelle auf, die neue Geschäftsmodelle erfordern, die skalierbar sind.
With major intellectual properties there is a long tradition of cross-media value chains -- usually starting with books and comics, then transgressing to film and TV and finally reaching interactive media like video games. In recent years the situation has changed: (1) smaller productions start to establish cross media value chains; (2) there is a trend from sequential towards parallel content production. In this work we describe how the production of a historic documentary takes a cross media approach right from the start. We analyze how this impacts the content creation pipelines with respect to story, audience and realization. The focus of the case study is the impact on the production of a documentary game. In a second step we reflect on the experiences gained so far and derive recommendations for future small-scale cross media productions.

Alexander von Humboldt, a German scientist and explorer of the 19th century, viewed the natural world holistically and described the harmony of nature among the diversity of the physical world as a conjoining between all physical disciplines. He noted in his diary: “Everything is interconnectedness.”
The main feature of Humboldt’s pioneering work was later named “Humboldtian science”, meaning the accurate study of interconnected real phenomena in order to find a definite law and a dynamic cause.
Following Humboldt's idea of nature, an Internet edition of his works must preserve the author’s original intention, retain an awareness of all relevant works, and still adhere to the requirements of scholarly edition.
At the present time, however, the highly unconventional form of his publications has undermined the awareness and a comprehensive study of Humboldt’s works.
Digital libraries should supply dynamic links to sources, maps, images, graphs and relevant texts. New forms of interaction and synthesis between humanistic texts and scientific observation need to be created.
Information technology is the only way to do justice to the broad range of visions, descriptions and the idea of nature of Humboldt’s legacy. It finally leads to virtual research environments as an adequate concept to redesign our digital archives, not only for Humboldt’s documents, but for all interconnected data.
This article sets the focus on methods of information technology in the Humboldt Portal, which represents an ongoing research project to develop a virtual research environment on the Internet for the legacy of Alexander von Humboldt. Based on the experiences of developing and providing the Humboldt Digital Library (www.avhumboldt.net) for more than a decade, we defined a working plan to create an Internet portal for comprehensive access to Humboldt’s writings, no matter if documents are provided as PDF files, scan images or XML-TEI documents on external archives (Google Books, Internet Archive, Deutsches Textarchiv, Bibliotheque National de France). Going far beyond services of a digital library we will provide an information network with multimedia assets, which are containing objects like terms, paragraphs, data tables, scan images, or illustrations, together with correlated properties like thematic linkage to other objects, relevant keywords with optional synonyms and dynamic hyperlinks to related translations in different languages. So the Humboldt Portal can contribute to the key question, how to present interconnected data in an appropriate form using information technologies on the Web.
Autonomous humanoid robots require light weight, high torque and high speed actuators to be able to walk and run. For conventional gears with a fixed gear ratio the product of torque and velocity is constant. On the other hand desired motions require maximum torque and speed. In this paper it is shown that with a variable gear ratio it is possible to vary the relation between torque and velocity. This is achieved by introducing systems of rods and levers to move the joints of our humanoid robot ”Sweaty II”. On the basis of a variable gear ratio low speed and high torque can be achieved for those joint angles, which require this motion mode, whereas high speed and low torque can be realized for those joint angles, where it is favorable for the desired motion.
Security in IT systems, particularly in embedded devices like Cyber Physical Systems (CPSs), has become an important matter of concern as it is the prerequisite for ensuring privacy and safety. Among a multitude of existing security measures, the Transport Layer Security (TLS) protocol family offers mature and standardized means for establishing secure communication channels over insecure transport media. In the context of classical IT infrastructure, its security with regard to protocol and implementation attacks has been subject to extensive research. As TLS protocols find their way into embedded environments, we consider the security and robustness of implementations of these protocols specifically in the light of the peculiarities of embedded systems. We present an approach for systematically checking the security and robustness of such implementations using fuzzing techniques and differential testing. In spite of its origin in testing TLS implementations we expect our approach to likewise be applicable to implementations of other cryptographic protocols with moderate efforts.
Rechtliche Dimension des Journalismus: Redaktionelle Verantwortung und User Generated Content
(2015)
Journalismus wandelt sich durch die Einbeziehung von User Generated Content. Dies hat nicht nur publizistische Folgen, sondern führt auch zu Problemen im Bereich der medienrechtlichen Verantwortung für die so publizierten Inhalte. Vor allem urheber- und persönlichkeitsrechtlichen Fragen sind für neue digitale Produkte zu prüfen. Insgesamt zeigt sich auch aus rechtlicher Sicht, dass eine Kombination unter Einbeziehung klassischer journalistischer Strukturen hilfreich ist, während rein von anonymen Nutzern gestaltete Produkte erhebliche Risiken bergen.
Covert and Side-Channels have been known for a long time due to their versatile forms of appearance. For nearly every technical improvement or change in technology, such channels have been (re-)created or known methods have been adapted. For example the introduction of hyperthreading technology has introduced new possibilities for covert communication between malicious processes because they can now share the arithmetic logical unit (ALU) as well as the L1 and L2 cache which enables establishing multiple covert channels. Even virtualization which is known for its isolation of multiple machines is prone to covert and side-channel attacks due to the sharing of resources. Therefore itis not surprising that cloud computing is not immune to this kind of attacks. Even more, cloud computing with multiple, possibly competing users or customers using the same shared resources may elevate the risk of unwanted communication. In such a setting the ”air gap” between physical servers and networks disappears and only the means of isolation and virtual separation serve as a barrier between adversary and victim. In the work at hand we will provide a survey on weak spots an adversary trying to exfiltrate private data from target virtual machines could exploit in a cloud environment. We will evaluate the feasibility of example attacks and point out possible mitigation solutions if they exist.

EuGH "Videoüberwachung"

We propose secure multi-party computation techniques for the distributed computation of the average using a privacy-preserving extension of gossip algorithms. While recently there has been mainly research on the side of gossip algorithms (GA) for data aggregation itself, to the best of our knowledge, the aforementioned research line does not take into consideration the privacy of the entities involved. More concretely, it is our objective to not reveal a node's private input value to any other node in the network, while still computing the average in a fully-decentralized fashion. Not revealing in our setting means that an attacker gains only minor advantage when guessing a node's private input value. We precisely quantify an attacker's advantage when guessing - as a mean for the level of data privacy leakage of a node's contribution. Our results show that by perturbing the input values of each participating node with pseudo-random noise with appropriate statistical properties (i) only a minor and configurable leakage of private information is revealed, by at the same time (ii) providing a good average approximation at each node. Our approach can be applied to a decentralized prosumer market, in which participants act as energy consumers or producers or both, referred to as prosumers.
Eine Mitte November veröffentlichte EU-Richtlinie sieht vor, dass ab 2017 Unternehmen mit durchschnittlich mehr als 500 Mitarbeitern bestimmte Nachhaltigkeitsangaben im Lagebericht veröffentlichen müssen. Auf den ersten Blick scheint hier weiterer administrativer Ballast für die wenigen betroffenen Genossenschaftsbanken zu entstehen. Doch daraus ergeben sich für die Institute auch Chancen. Es lohnt sich zu prüfen, ob ein aktives Nachhaltigkeitsmanagement sinnvoll erscheint.

In online analytical processing (OLAP), filtering elements of a given dimensional attribute according to the value of a measure attribute is an essential operation, for example in top-k evaluation. Such filters can involve extremely large amounts of data to be processed, in particular when the filter condition includes “quantification” such as ANY or ALL, where large slices of an OLAP cube have to be computed and inspected. Due to the sparsity of OLAP cubes, the slices serving as input to the filter are usually sparse as well, presenting a challenge for GPU approaches which need to work with a limited amount of memory for holding intermediate results. Our CUDA solution involves a hashing scheme specifically designed for frequent and parallel updates, including several optimizations exploiting architectural features of Nvidia’s Fermi and Kepler GPUs.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established class I level A biventricular pacing therapy in chronic heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but not all patients improved clinically. Purpose of the study was to evaluate electrical interatrial conduction delay (IACD) to interventricular conduction delay (IVCD) ratio with focused transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography.
Methods: Thirty eight chronic heart failure patients (age 63.4±10.2 years; 3 females, 35 males) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional class 3.0±0.2 and 171.71±36.17ms QRS duration were analysed using posterior left atrial and left ventricular transesophageal electrocardiography with hemispherical electrodes before CRT. Electrical IACD was measured between onset of P-wave in the surface ECG and onset of left atrial signal. Electrical IVCD was measured between onset of QRS complex in the surface ECG and onset of left ventricular signal.
Results: Electrical IACD and IVCD could be evaluated by transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography in all heart failure patients with correlation to 1.18±0.92 IACD-IVCD-ratio (r=-0.57, P<0.001; r=0.66, P<0.001). There were 32 CRT responder with reduction of NYHA class from 3.0±0.22 to 1.97±0.31 (P<0.001) during 16.5±18.9 month CRT with 75.19±33.49ms IACD, 78.91±24.73ms IVCD, 1.04±0.66 IACD-IVCD-ratio and correlation between IACD and IACDIVCD- ratio (r=0.84, P<0.001). There were 6 CRT nonresponder with no reduction of NYHA class from 3.0±0.3 to 2.9±0.5 during 14.3±13.7 month biventricular pacing, 50.0±28.26ms IVCD (P=0.014), 1.92±1.65 IACD-IVCD-ratio (P=0,029) and correlation between 67.0±24.9ms IACD and IACD-IVCD-ratio (r=0.85, P=0.031).
Conclusions: Focused transesophageal left atrial and left ventricular electrocardiography can be utilized to analyse electrical IACD and IVCD in heart failure patients. IACDIVDC- ratio may be a useful parameter to evaluate electrical left cardiac desynchronization in heart failure patients.
Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an established biventricular pacing therapy in heart failure patients with left bundle branch block and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction, but not all patients improved clinically as CRT responder. Purpose of the study was to evaluate electrical left atrial conduction delay (LACD) with focused transesophageal electrocardiography in CRT responder and CRT non-responder.
Methods: Twenty heart failure patients (age 66.6±8.2 years; 2 females, 18 males) with New York Heart Association functional class 3.0±0.3 and 174.2±40.2ms QRS duration were analysed using posterior left atrial transesophageal electrocardiography with hemispherical electrodes. Electrical LACD was measured between onset and offset of transesophageal left atrial signal before implantation of CRT devices.
Results: Electrical LACD could be evaluated by bipolar transesophageal left atrial electrocardiography using TO Osypka electrode in all heart failure patients with negative correlation between 54.7±18.1ms LACD and 24.9±6.4% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.65, P=0.002). There were 16 CRT responders with reduction of New York Heart Association functional class from 3.0±0.29 to 2.1±0.2 (r=0.522, P=0.038) during 9.41±10.96 month biventricular pacing and negative correlation between 49.6±14.2ms LACD and 26.0±6.2% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.533, P=0.034). There were 4 CRT non-responders with no reduction of New York Heart Association functional class from 3.0±0.4 to 2.8±0.5 (r=0.816, P=0.184) during with 13.88±16.39 month biventricular pacing and no correlation between 75.25±19.17ms LACD and 20.75±6.4% left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.831, P=0.169).
Conclusions: Focused transesophageal left atrial electrocardiography can be utilized to analyse electrical LACD in heart failure patients. LACD correlated negative with left ventricular ejection fraction in CRT responders. LACD may be a useful parameter to evaluate electrical left atrial desynchronization in heart failure patients.

Die traditionellen Geschäftsmodelle der Zeitungsverlage beruhen auf der Werbevermarktung von Anzeigen und Beilagen und dem direkten Erlösmodell für journalistische Inhalte durch Abonnement, bzw. Einzelverkaufserlöse. Diese Geschäftsmodelle verändern sich zugunsten neuer nicht-journalistischer digitaler Geschäftsmodelle, deren Zukunftsfähigkeit jedoch in vielen Fällen noch nicht bewiesen ist.
Dieses Kapitel beschreibt den technologischen, politischen und wirtschaftlichen Hintergrund, vor dem die derzeitigen Veränderungen der deutschen Zeitungslandschaft zu bewerten sind. Das Phänomen der Konvergenz, d. h. unterschiedliche Entwicklungslinien bewegen sich aufeinander zu, können wir in ganz unterschiedlichen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen immer wieder feststellen. Positionen politischer Parteien konvergieren, Hochschulgattungen nähern sich einander an und ebenso die Mediengattungen in Form der „Medienkonvergenz“.

Im Projekt bwLehrpool wurde ein verteiltes System für die flexible Nutzung von Rechnerpools durch Desktop-Virtualisierung entwickelt. Auf Basis eines zentral gebooteten Linux- Grundsystems können beliebige virtualisierbare Betriebssysteme für Lehrund Prüfungszwecke zentral bereitgestellt und lokal auf den Maschinen aus-gewählt werden. Die verschiedenen Ar- beitsumgebungen müssen nicht mehr auf den PCs installiert werden und erlauben so eine multifunktionale Nutzung von PCs und Räumen für vielfältige Lehrund Lernszenarien sowie für elektronische Prüfungen. bwLehrpool abstrahiert von der PC-Hardware vor Ort und ermöglicht den Dozenten die eigene Gestaltung und Verwaltung ihrer Softwareumgebungen als Self-Service. Darüber hinaus fördert bwLehrpool den hochschulübergreifenden Austausch von Kursumgebungen.

Der hier vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt erste Untersuchungsergebnisse mit der Finite-Elemente-Methode (FEM) zur Entlastung der Kerbspannungen an Getriebewellen mit Durchdringungskerben. Es handelt sich bei den Kerben um eine Umlaufnut mit überlagerter Querbohrung und um einen Wellenabsatz mit überlagerter Querbohrung. Die neu entwickelte Entlastungskerbe erweitert die üblichen Möglichkeiten zur Entlastung von Durchdringungskerben und ermöglicht bedeutende Spannungsreduktionen bis etwa 48% bei Biegung oder Zug/Druck. Die Entlastung bei Torsionsbelastung beträgt maximal etwa 18%. Es wurden Spannungsdiagramme der variierten Entlastungsnutparameter erstellt und Formeln zur näherungsweisen Berechnung der zu erwartenden Spannungen in der Durchdringungskerbe und in der Entlastungsnut ermittelt, zudem werden Empfehlungen zur Gestaltung der Entlastungskerbe gegeben. Dieser Beitrag bietet eine Grundlage zur weiteren Untersuchung zum Thema „räumliche Durchdringungskerben“ und deren Entlastung.

6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) is gaining more and more attraction for the seamless connectivity of embedded devices for the Internet of Things (IoT). Whereas the lower layers (IEEE802.15.4 and 6LoWPAN) are already well defined and consolidated with regard to frame formats, header compression, routing protocols and commissioning procedures, there is still an abundant choice of possibilities on the application layer. Currently, various groups are working towards standardization of the application layer, i.e. the ETSI Technical Committee on M2M, the IP for Smart Objects (IPSO) Alliance, Lightweight M2M (LWM2M) protocol of the Open Mobile Alliance (OMA), and OneM2M. This multitude of approaches leaves the system developer with the agony of choice. This paper selects, presents and explains one of the promising solutions, discusses its strengths and weaknesses, and demonstrates its implementation.
6LoWPAN (IPv6 over Low Power Wireless Personal Area Networks) is gaining more and more attraction for the seamless connectivity of embedded devices for the Internet of Things. It can be observed that most of the available solutions are following an open source approach, which significantly leads to a fast development of technologies and of markets. Although the currently available implementations are in a pretty good shape, all of them come with some significant drawbacks. It was therefore decided to start the development of an own implementation, which takes the advantages from the existing solutions, but tries to avoid the drawbacks. This paper discussed the reasoning behind this decision, describes the implementation and its characteristics, as well as the testing results. The given implementation is available as open-source project under [15].
The application of leaky feeder (radiating) cables is a common solution for the implementation of reliable radio communication in huge industrial buildings, tunnels and mining environment. This paper explores the possibilities of leaky feeders for 1D and 2D localization in wireless systems based on time of flight chirp spread spectrum technologies. The main focus of this paper is to present and analyse the results of time of flight and received signal strength measurements with leaky feeders in indoor and outdoor conditions. The authors carried out experiments to compare ranging accuracy and radio coverage area for a point-like monopole antenna and for a leaky feeder acting as a distributed antenna. In all experiments RealTrac equipment based on nanoLOC radio standard was used. The estimation of the most probable path of a chirp signal going through a leaky feeder was calculated using the ray tracing approach. The typical non-line-of-sight errors profiles are presented. The results show the possibility to use radiating cables in real time location technologies based on time-of-flight method.
