Evolution has enabled living organisms to respond to sensory input very fast in order to safeguard their chances of survival. This ability is largely based on the classification of perceptions into categories and their collective processing in associative structures. These associative structures, in turn, have a remarkable similarity to the biological neural networks which perform them. The author has chosen this natural way of thinking fast as a model for an innovative bionic approach to soft computing.
More and more routine tasks are being handled with the help of computer technologies. Science is not neglected; for example, computational linguistics programs greatly simplify the analysis of scientific literature, although not without shortcomings. In this paper, we discuss some of the common challenges that arise when conducting literature analysis in KH Coder, a free distributed software offering analysis of text documents in multiple languages. The proposed solutions, in our opinion, will help researchers obtain more reliable and qualitative results depending on the objectives of the text-mining of relevant scientific literature.
Recent changes in information and communication technologies (ICT) have considerably changed the lives of millions of people and the economy around the world. On the one hand, a better broadband infrastructure improved the life quality of households and simplified their everyday routines. On the other hand, companies have benefited from increased employees’ productivity and the emergence of new business models that do not depend any more to a large extent on the location of the company. The latter circumstance was expected to be an additional motivating factor for small and medium-sized firms, as with the development of high-speed Internet, they could possibly successfully compete with market leaders; such goals, for example, were voiced in the Digital Agenda 2010 for Europe (European Commission, 2010).
Nevertheless, the academic literature lacks evidence linking the improvements of ICTs with ntrepreneurship (firm entries) and mostly reveals the state of the art for the developed countries, predominantly for the United States. This dissertation attempts, on the one hand, to cover the existing research gap for Germany as previous studies are based on outdated data from the DSL era, or refer to the firm productivity or economic performance. On the other hand, we try to investigate the experience of less developed countries and hence include two specific cases: one is Palestine (where the recent introduction of 3G connectivity boosted the business activity) and the second is Lithuania (an underperforming EU member with a complex historical background).
The main conclusion from this dissertation is that broadband, as a rule, has a statistically positive relation to the number of firm entries, which stays in line with recent studies. Whether the effect of high-speed connections is amplified thanks to other externalities, such as the presence of a highly qualified workforce (skill complementarity) or entrepreneurial training, remains beyond the scope of this work due to statistical data imperfections and is expected to be researched by the author in the future.
The ongoing digitalization had a global impact on economic patterns. With better broadband infrastructure, new businesses rely more on digital tools and technologies, are able to grow faster, and reach customers in remote markets. However, despite the growing importance of high-speed internet, there is a lack of research linking broadband provision to firm entries. This paper fills this gap by examining the relationship between the improvements in mobile internet speed and the firm entries in Lithuania over the 5-year time period from 2014 to 2019, the active phase of implementation of the Digital Agenda for Europe. As a result, we observed a negative and significant at 10% level relationship between changes in internet speed and business creation, which contradicts the recent findings in the existing literature.
Autonomes Fahren stellt einen Meilenstein in der Mobilität, seit der Erfindung des Personenkraftwagens, dar. Der Fortschritt in der Entwicklung des automatisierten Fahrens steigt stetig und vollautomatisiertes Fahren wird in naher Zukunft möglich sein. (Strijbosch 2018, S. 28-29) Da Vertrauen die Voraussetzung für die Technologieakzeptanz der Nutzer darstellt (Davis 1989, S. 985; Wu et al. 2011, S. 573), ist das Ziel der Studie, das Vertrauen in die Sicherheit von automatisierten Fahrzeugen des Level 1, dem assistierten Fahren und Level 3, dem hochautomatisierten Fahren (Society of Automotive Engineers 2022) zu untersuchen.
Dazu werden die beiden Hypothesen H1: Es besteht ein positiver Zusammenhang zwischen Vertrauen und Sicherheit und H2: Die deutsche Bevölkerung vertraut darauf, dass automatisiertes Fahren für den Fahrenden und seine Umwelt sicher ist, untersucht. Anhand der zielgerichteten Anpassung des Technology Acceptance Modells nach Mayer et al. (1995, S. 715) und den Erweiterungen von Lee und Kolodge (2020, S. 273) sowie Lewis und Marsh (2022, S. 37), werden sieben latente Variablen Funktionalität (F), Zuverlässigkeit (Z), Kontrolle (K), Vertrauen (V), Risiko (R), Sicherheitsempfinden (SE) und Nutzungsabsicht (N) mittels Strukturgleichungsmodell analysiert.
Wesentliche Ergebnisse der durchgeführten Untersuchungen sind, dass das Vorhandensein von Fahrerassistenzsystemen einen positiven Einfluss auf alle latenten Variablen, außer (R) hat, dass das Vertrauen in automatisiertes Fahren Level 1 größer ist, als jenes in Level 3 und dass eine Abhängigkeit von (V) gegenüber (Z), (R) und (SE) besteht. Beide Hypothesen konnten im Rahmen dieser Untersuchung bestätigt werden.

The introduction of both mobile robots (MR) and AI-embedded mobile robots (AIMR) into the industry is very slow compared to other types of industrial robots (IR) and automation systems. Many scientific articles and studies are focused on the programming and design of MR. At the same time, integration issues, topical problems and related obstacles are almost entirely absent from the scientific literature. The authors of this paper acknowledge that the complete analysis of this area is a very challenging task. Therefore, for the purposes of this study, we focus on the local problem of analysing the introduction of MR and AIMR in small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The authors offer the analysis of the current challenges and trends in the introduction of mobile robots into SMEs. They also propose solutions to these problems based on their own as well as external experience in the design, programming and implementation of mobile robots.
Albeit augmented reality (AR) technologies first have been discovered in the third quarter of the 20th century, their widespread use began just two decades ago. Existing paper trails show that AR has a wide range of industrial application: it simplifies human-machine communication, improves human-machine interfaces (HMI) for quick information exchange in training (including feedback to study the workflow), correction of errors, machine maintenance, assembly assistance etc. However, broader industrial acceptance of AR, prior to all by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), recently faced considerable problems and the expansion of AR solutions does not match the high potential it has demonstrated. That results in a limited practical use, mainly for demonstration and advertising purposes. This short review is to present the state of the art of the industry, challenges that SMEs face in adopting AR technologies, and several practical examples of a (commercial) adoption of AR. Some prospects for further development of AR and its ongoing integration into industry are briefly discussed in the summary.
