Duplikaterkennung, -suche und -konsolidierung für Kunden- und Geschäftspartnerdaten, sog. „Identity Resolution“, ist die Voraussetzung für erfolgreiches Customer Relationship Management und Customer Experience Management, aber auch für das Risikomanagement zur Minimierung von Betrugsrisiken und Einhaltung regulatorischer Vorschriften und viele weitere Anwendungsfälle. Diese Systeme sind jedoch hochkomplex und müssen individuell an die kundenspezifischen Anforderungen angepasst werden. Der Einsatz lernbasierter Verfahren bietet großes Potenzial zur automatisierten Anpassung. In diesem Beitrag präsentieren wir für ein KMU praxisfähige, lernbasierte Verfahren zur automatischen Konfiguration von Business-Regeln in Duplikaterkennungssystemen. Dabei wurden für Fachanwender Möglichkeiten entwickelt, um beispielgetrieben das Match-System an individuelle Business-Regeln (u.a. Umzugserkennung, Sperrlistenabgleich) anzupassen und zu konfigurieren. Die entwickelten Verfahren wurden evaluiert und in einer prototypischen Lösung integriert. Wir konnten zeigen, dass unser Machine-Learning-Verfahren, die von einem Domainexperten erstellten Business-Regeln für das Duplikaterkennungssystem „identity“ verbessern konnte. Zudem konnte der hierzu erforderliche Zeitaufwand verkürzt werden.

Andreas Klasen analyses measures taken by European export-import banks (Exim-Banks) and export credit agencies (ECAs) aimed at exporters‘ pressing finance constraints.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of producing a robot component, particularly a gripper, the method being capable of being applied multi-functionally and shortening a mounting time to a robot. SOLUTION: A method of producing a robot component, particularly a finger 5, applied to robotics by a three-dimensional printing method of this invention comes not to require other production processes such as attachment of a cover, etc. with a separate sensor or a material (soft, in many cases), etc., by simultaneously printing at least one sensor 7 by multi-material printing while printing the robot component.

This article combines two important areas of practical theology: Monastic rules and leadership in a cloistral organisation, using the Rule of Saint Francis as a prominent example. The aim of this research is to examine how living Christian tradition in a monastic order affects leadership today, discovering how the Rule and Franciscan spirituality impact managing a convent. The research question is answered within this inductive research applying the methodology of the ‘theology in four voices.’ Based on the results, it is possible to build a coherent leadership system based on Biblical and Franciscan sources.

With economic weight shifting toward net zero, now is the time for ECAs, Exim-Banks, and PRIs to lead. Despite previous success, aligning global economic governance to climate goals requires additional activities across export finance and investment insurance institutions. The new research project initiated by Oxford University, ClimateWorks Foundation, and Mission 2020 including other practitioners and academics from institutions such as Atradius DSB, Columbia University, EDC, FMO and Offenburg University focuses on reshaping future trade and investment governance in light of climate action. The idea of a ‘Berne Union Net Zero Club’ is an important item in a potential package of reforms. This can include realigning mandates and corporate strategies, principles of intervention, as well as ECA, Exim-Bank and PRI operating models in order to accelerate net zero transformation. Full transparency regarding Berne Union members’ activities would be an excellent starting point. We invite all interested parties in the sector to come together to chart our own path to net zero
