The study focuses on two main areas: the weakening of the media and the emergence of "smart dictatorship." The paper examines the ways in which AI can be used to supervise, manipulate, and frustrate the media, thereby weakening its role as a check on government and corporate power. The study also explores how AI technology can be used to create an "omnidirectional monitoring" society, where individuals are constantly monitored and controlled through the use of "panopticon" techniques and "social bots". This can lead to the emergence of a "postdemocratic" society, characterized by growing inequality, dehumanization, and the manipulation of information on online media platforms. The research methodology adopted in the study is qualitative, using expert interviews with three experts who discussed the overall use of AI and its disruptive effects on democracy, such as the creation of fake news, filter bubbles, and algorithm bias. In conclusion, this research highlights the need for increased awareness and regulation of AI technology to ensure its responsible use and to protect democratic values.}, subject = {K{\"u}nstliche Intelligenz}, language = {en} } @article{Kraska2022, author = {Kraska, Martin}, title = {Meclib: Dynamic and Interactive Figures in STACK Questions Made Easy}, series = {International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)}, volume = {17}, journal = {International Journal of Emerging Technologies in Learning (iJET)}, number = {23}, publisher = {International Association of Online Engineering}, issn = {1863-0383}, doi = {10.3991/ijet.v17i23.36501}, pages = {15 -- 27}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Making and interpretation of drawings and schematics is an important skill to be developed in engineering education.

The Meclib concept mitigates this complexity and allows for efficient bulk production of material with consistent appearance and user experience.

Electrical characteristics (dielectric permittivity, tunability and losses) of as-prepared and annealed in oxygen medium samples were investigated at microwaves. According to structural analysis, the synthesized samples are a mixture of KFeSi glass, ferroelectric BaTiO3, and dielectric barium polytitanates; the ratio of the latter determines the electrical properties of the composites. Depending on the content of barium titanate, the studied composite samples show a permittivity from 50 to 270 with a dielectric loss level of 0,1-0,02 in frequency range from 3 to 10 GHz. Annealing of composite samples in an oxygen-containing environment leads to an increase in their dielectric permittivity and tunability by 10-25\% and a twofold decrease in dielectric loss.}, language = {en} } @article{KombeLang'atNjoguetal.2022, author = {Kombe, Emmanuel Yeri and Lang'at, Nickson and Njogu, Paul and Malessa, Reiner and Weber, Christian-Toralf and Njoka, Francis and Krause, Ulrich}, title = {Process modeling and evaluation of optimal operating conditions for production of hydrogen-rich syngas from air gasification of rice husks using aspen plus and response surface methodology}, series = {Bioresource Technology}, volume = {361}, journal = {Bioresource Technology}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {0960-8524}, pages = {1 -- 11}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Biomass gasification is recognized as a viable avenue to accelerate the sustainable production of hydrogen.

The influence of temperature and equivalence ratio on the syngas composition, H2 yield, LHVSyngas, H2/CO ratio, CGE, and PCG was studied. Furthermore, the synchronized effects of temperature and ER are studied using RSM to determine the operational point of maximizing H2 yield and PCG. The RSM analysis results show optimum performance at temperatures between 820 °C and 1090 °C and ER in the range of 0.06-0.10.

A total of 32 female recreational athletes (18 - 50 years old) were assigned to a hand massage, massage chair, or lying down the group. They were measured for muscle biomechanical properties (MyotonPro), PPT (Wagner Instruments) and subjectively perceived fatigue (VAS scale) before and after fatigue tests and treatment. The recovery procedure and subjective satisfaction with treatment were rated on a Likert scale. Changes in the median value of m. rectus femoris and m. gastrocnemius stiffness with treatment showed that hand massage could be more effective in reducing stiffness, as compared to chair massage.

According to many model systems, myosin motor-induced local contractions of initially isotropic actomyosin cortices are nucleation points for generating cortical flows. However, the positive feedback mechanisms by which spontaneous contractions can be amplified towards large-scale directed flows remain mostly speculative. To investigate such a process on spherical surfaces, we reconstituted and confined initially isotropic minimal actomyosin cortices to the interfaces of emulsion droplets. The presence of ATP leads to myosin-induced local contractions that self-organize and amplify into directed large-scale actomyosin flows. By combining our experiments with theory, we found that the feedback mechanism leading to a coordinated directional motion of actomyosin clusters can be described as asymmetric cluster vibrations, caused by intrinsic non-isotropic ATP consumption with spatial confinement. We identified fingerprints of vibrational states as the basis of directed motions by tracking individual actomyosin clusters. These vibrations may represent a generic key driver of directed actomyosin flows under spatial confinement in vitro and in living systems.}, language = {en} } @article{GoschinVogelFlassig2022, author = {Goschin, Tobias and Vogel, Mathias and Flassig, Robert}, title = {Energy Technologies For Decarbonizing The Steel Processing Industry - A Numerical Study}, series = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, volume = {55}, journal = {IFAC-PapersOnLine}, number = {9}, publisher = {Elsevier}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1016/j.ifacol.2022.07.001}, pages = {1 -- 5}, year = {2022}, abstract = {This study analyzes approaches to decarbonize the energy supply of the secondary steel processing industry.
