Non-urban areas account for over 50\% of the total night-time light observed by satellites, with contributions from sources such as transportation networks and resource extraction. Artificial light can disturb the migratory and reproductive behaviours of animals even at the low illuminances from diffuse skyglow. Additionally, lighting (indoor and outdoor) accounts for 20\% of global electricity consumption and 6\% of CO2 emissions, leading to indirect environmental impacts and a financial cost. However, existing monitoring techniques can only perform a limited number of measurements throughout the night and lack spectral and spatial resolution.

This alters the optical conditions of a river at night and potentially interferes with natural polarisation signals from, for example, moonlight. Therefore, this type of light pollution could detrimentally change the behaviour of organisms sensitive to polarised light, a navigational cue and signal known to be used e.g. by flying water-seeking insects to detect suitable aquatic habitats to reproduce and lay eggs. So far, polarised light pollution from artificial light at night is understudied. Here, we quantify polarised light pollution at the water's surface near seven illuminated bridges crossing the river Spree in Berlin. Our measurements show for the first time, that nocturnal bridge illumination induces polarised light pollution towards potential flying paths of polarotactic aquatic insects. On average, around 9\% of the water surfaces at the investigated bridges were highly polluted by polarised light, with values ranging between 3 and 12 \% for each bridge. Thus, polarised light pollution from artificial light at night is an emergent pollutant for aquatic systems. Future work on this topic should include more comprehensive measurements, further ecological studies on its impacts and the development of sustainable lighting solutions that can contribute to the protection of riverine nightscapes.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{VeldyaevaFitzScheeg2024, author = {Veldyaeva, Ekaterina and Fitz, Lukas R.

A peculiarity of this system is that the continuous and the discontinuous phases consist of the same material.

One of these challenges is the growing number of photovoltaic systems (PV systems), which, due to their high feed-in power, already pose a risk to the security of the electricity distribution grid during long periods of sunny weather. To counteract this, active research is being carried out in the field of PV power forecasting. This research is primarily aimed at providing the grid operator with a predicted power output, which enables a longer planning horizon and thus increases the operational grid security. However, the considerable annual electricity consumption of private households and the increasing spread of PV systems for self-consumption show that the energy behavior of households, especially self-consumption, also influences grid security. Additionally, households have an incentive to boost their self-consumption because the cost of drawing each kilowatt-hour from the grid is substantially higher than the compensation received for injecting an equivalent amount of energy back into the grid. However, as of now, there is no software available that easily enables households to tailor the usage patterns of their electrical appliances according to a photovoltaic (PV) forecast. The project described here aims to close this gap by creating such software. Various PV forecasting models are used and tested for their suitability for this purpose. A self-generated optimization process is implemented in this project to optimize the consumer configuration based on the PV forecasts. The here-developed tool enables the user to enter parameters for his PV system and the specific load profiles of his electrical appliances. Based on this data, the optimization algorithm determines a consumption plan with a forecast horizon until the end of the next day that maximizes the user's self-consumption. To validate the tool, the optimization process is carried out over a period of 60 days using a predefined scenario and the results are compared with a scenario in which the electrical appliances are intuitively operated at midday. The analysis of these results ultimately shows the potential impact of such a tool on the economic efficiency of private households and the supply stability.}, language = {en} } @article{CatalanoNaselloGuterding2024, author = {Catalano, Francesco and Nasello, Laura and Guterding, Daniel}, title = {Quantum Computing Approach to Realistic ESG-Friendly Stock Portfolios}, series = {Risks}, volume = {12}, journal = {Risks}, number = {4}, publisher = {MDPI}, issn = {2227-9091}, doi = {10.3390/risks12040066}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2024}, abstract = {Finding an optimal balance between risk and returns in investment portfolios is a central challenge in quantitative finance, often addressed through Markowitz portfolio theory (MPT). While traditional portfolio optimization is carried out in a continuous fashion, as if stocks could be bought in fractional increments, practical implementations often resort to approximations, as fractional stocks are typically not tradeable. While these approximations are effective for large investment budgets, they deteriorate as budgets decrease. To alleviate this issue, a discrete Markowitz portfolio theory (DMPT) with finite budgets and integer stock weights can be formulated, but results in a non-polynomial (NP)-hard problem. Recent progress in quantum processing units (QPUs), including quantum annealers, makes solving DMPT problems feasible. Our study explores portfolio optimization on quantum annealers, establishing a mapping between continuous and discrete Markowitz portfolio theories. We find that correctly normalized discrete portfolios converge to continuous solutions as budgets increase. Our DMPT implementation provides efficient frontier solutions, outperforming traditional rounding methods, even for moderate budgets. Responding to the demand for environmentally and socially responsible investments, we enhance our discrete portfolio optimization with ESG (environmental, social, governance) ratings for EURO STOXX 50 index stocks.

Our findings indicate significant disturbances in photosynthetic processes in Acropora eurystoma, as evidenced by shifts in δ13C values under ALAN, pointing to alterations in carbon distribution or utilization. In Pocillopora damicornis, similar trends were observed, with changes in δ13C and δ15N values suggesting a disruption in its nitrogen cycle and feeding strategies. The study also uncovers species-specific variations in heterotrophic feeding, a crucial factor in coral resilience under environmental stress, contributing to the corals' fixed carbon budget. Light measurements across the Gulf demonstrated a gradient of light pollution which possess the potential of affecting marine biology in the region.

However, these systems typically have high energy consumption, data overload, and large equipment sizes, which makes them difficult to install in constrained spaces. Therefore, three challenges remain unresolved: efficient energy use, accurate data measurement, and compact installation. To address these limitations, this study proposes a two-to-one threshold sampling approach, where the CO2 measurement is activated when the specified T and RH change thresholds are exceeded. This event-driven method avoids redundant data collection, minimizes power consumption, and is suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems. The proposed approach was implemented on a low-power, small-form and self-made multivariate sensor based on the PIC16LF19156 microcontroller. In contrast, a commercial monitoring system and sensor modules based on the Arduino Uno were used for comparison. As a result, by activating only key points in the T and RH signals, the number of CO2 measurements was significantly reduced without loss of essential signal characteristics. Signal reconstruction from the reduced points demonstrated high accuracy, with a mean absolute error (MAE) of 0.0089 and root mean squared error (RMSE) of 0.0117. Despite reducing the number of CO2 measurements by approximately 41.9\%, the essential characteristics of the signal were saved, highlighting the efficiency of the proposed approach. Despite its effectiveness in controlled conditions (in buildings, indoors), environmental factors such as the presence of people, ventilation systems, and room layout can significantly alter the dynamics of CO2 concentrations, which may limit the implementation of this approach. Future studies will focus on the study of adaptive threshold mechanisms and context-dependent models that can adjust to changing conditions. This approach will expand the scope of application of the proposed two-to-one sampling technique in various practical situations.}, language = {en} } @article{SteinPilgermannSedlmayr2025, author = {Stein, Stefan and Pilgermann, Michael and Sedlmayr, Martin}, title = {Systematic Evaluation of Manufacturer Disclosure Statements for Medical Device Security (MDS2) to Strengthen Hospital OT Security Measures - Lessons Learned}, series = {Studies in health technology and informatics}, volume = {331}, journal = {Studies in health technology and informatics}, doi = {10.3233/SHTI251404}, pages = {256 -- 264}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The growing number of connected medical devices in hospitals poses serious operational technology (OT) security challenges. Effective countermeasures require a structured analysis of the communication interfaces and security configurations of individual devices. State of the art: Although Manufacturer Disclosure Statements for Medical Device Security (MDS2, Version 2019) offer relevant information, they are rarely integrated into cybersecurity workflows. Existing studies are limited in scope and lack scalable methodologies for systematic evaluation. Concept: This study analyzed 209 MDS2 documents and 161 security white papers to extract structured information on ports, protocols, and protective measures. Over 52,000 question-answer pairs were converted into a machine-readable format using customized parsing and validation routines. The aim was to establish whether this dataset could inform risk assessments and future applications involving Large Language Models (LLMs). Implementation: The analysis revealed 367 distinct ports, including common protocols such as HTTPS (443), DICOM (104), and RDP (3389), as well as vendor-specific proprietary ports. Approximately 40\% of the devices used over 20 ports, indicating a broad attack surface. OCR errors and inconsistent formatting required manual corrections. A consolidated dataset was developed to support clustering, comparison across vendors and versions, and preparation for downstream LLM use, particularly via structured SBOM and configuration data. Lessons learned: Although no model training was conducted, the structured dataset can support AI-based OT security workflows. The findings highlight the critical need for up-to-date, machine-readable manufacturer data in standardized formats and schemas. Such information could greatly enhance the automation, comparability, and scalability of hospital cybersecurity measures.}, language = {en} } @article{VegaJechowJamesAetal.2023, author = {Vega, Catherine Perez and Jechow, Andreas and James A., Campbell and Zielinska-Dabkowska, Karolina M. and Hoelker, Franz}, title = {Light pollution from illuminated bridges as a potential barrier for migrating fish-Linking measurements with a proposal for a conceptual model}, series = {Basic and Applied Ecology}, volume = {74}, journal = {Basic and Applied Ecology}, publisher = {Elsevier}, issn = {1618-0089}, doi = {10.1016/j.baae.2023.11.001}, pages = {1 -- 12}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Illuminated bridges have become important assets to navigable aquatic systems.

Night-time light measurements on the river Spree in Berlin were performed continuously along a transect and in detail at seven illuminated bridges. Photometric data of the pilot study showed rapidly increased and decreased light levels at several illuminated bridges from which we derived several model illumination scenarios. These illumination scenarios and their potential effect on migrating Atlantic salmon smolts (Salmo salar) and European silver eel (Anguilla anguilla) are presented as a conceptual model, considering illuminated bridges as behavioural barriers to fish migration. ALAN's adverse effects on freshwater habitats must be better researched, understood, managed, and properly communicated to develop future sustainable lighting practices and policies that preserve riverscapes and their biodiversity.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{BertramJankeFlassigetal.2025, author = {Bertram, Hamun and Janke, Christian and Flassig, Robert and Flassig, Peter}, title = {Efficient ML-Based Prediction of Turbomachinery Blade Performance With B-Spline Surface Representation}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo 2025: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition, Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 2025}, booktitle = {ASME Turbo Expo 2025: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition, Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 2025}, publisher = {ASME}, isbn = {978-0-7918-8886-5}, doi = {10.1115/GT2025-152689}, pages = {13}, year = {2025}, abstract = {In turbomachinery blade design, rapid and accurate performance prediction is essential to accelerate optimization and reduce reliance on costly high-fidelity simulations. Traditional data-driven approaches often use dense surface point-cloud representations as input features, requiring extensive training datasets and computational resources. This work presents a more efficient methodology leveraging a compact B-Spline-based surface representation, where control points serve as input features, significantly reducing geometric dimensionality and computational overhead. A systematic Design of Experiments (DoE) is performed to generate a diverse set of blade geometries for NASA Rotor 67. Each design is evaluated via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations in ANSYS CFX, providing key aerodynamic performance metrics such as isentropic efficiency. We train and compare Graph Convolutional Neural Networks (GCNN) and Random Forest Regression (RFR) models to predict blade performance directly from the reduced control-point parameterization. Incorporating first- and second-order geometric derivatives (gradients and Laplacians) into the feature set significantly enhances predictive accuracy and stability, capturing essential curvature-related flow physics. Results demonstrate that this B-Spline-based, CAD-centric methodology can achieve competitive accuracy in predictions with as few as 150-200 training simulations—comparable to other GCNN-based approaches. Consequently, the proposed framework reduces training overhead from days to minutes, enabling faster, more cost-effective turbomachinery design workflows and guiding optimization toward high-performing blade geometries.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HenkelBestleFlassigetal.2025, author = {Henkel, Clara and Bestle, Dieter and Flassig, Peter and Janke, Christian and Slaby, Michal}, title = {Consideration of Balancing within the Fan-Blisk Design Process}, series = {Proceedings of Global Power and Propulsion Society, Shanghai, 2025}, booktitle = {Proceedings of Global Power and Propulsion Society, Shanghai, 2025}, publisher = {GPPS}, issn = {2504-4400}, doi = {10.33737/gpps25-tc-017}, pages = {1 -- 9}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The design of fan-blisks is a multi-criterion optimisation challenge primarily involving the aerodynamic shape optimisation of blade profiles and subsequent blade balancing, i.e., shifting profiles in axial and circumferential directions to avoid stress hotspots. Although it is already known that blade balancing affects aerodynamic properties, this correlation is often not taken into account, which is why it is usually performed as an independent step after solving the aerodynamic design problem. However, this assumption is questionable because such shifts should be used to control both secondary flow effects and resulting stress. Therefore, the paper proposes problem formulations combining both aspects. Since optimisation requires costly numerical evaluations, machine learning methods are investigated to predict aerodynamic performance and stress constraints more efficiently. This enables a global optimisation process by reducing computational costs. Various different surrogate types are investigated, where stress constraints are formulated either as regression task predicting stress maxima, or as classification problem directly assessing design feasibility.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MuellerMarkgrafVogeletal.2025, author = {M{\"u}ller, Katja and Markgraf, Klaus and Vogel, Andreas and Flassig, Peter and Flassig, Robert}, title = {Numerical Study of Ice Accretion on Fan Blades: Implications for the Design of Blade Geometries}, series = {ASME Turbo Expo 2025: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition, Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 2025}, booktitle = {ASME Turbo Expo 2025: Turbomachinery Technical Conference and Exposition, Memphis, Tennessee, USA, 2025}, publisher = {ASME}, isbn = {978-0-7918-8887-2}, doi = {10.1115/GT2025-152704}, pages = {12}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Ice formation on aircraft components due to the impact of supercooled droplets poses a severe safety risk.

This study investigates how variations in blade geometry affect ice accretion in a low-pressure compressor using a numerical approach. A Design of Experiments (DoE) is conducted on the NASA Rotor67, focusing on the sensitivity of ice formation to geometric modifications. The workflow includes geometry generation (ParaBlade), flow simulation (ANSYS CFX), and ice accretion modeling (ANSYS FENSAP-ICE) under rime ice conditions. The results reveal a strong correlation between the inlet metal angle and both accreted ice mass and maximum ice thickness. Furthermore, designs with good aerodynamic performance tend to exhibit higher ice accumulation. These findings enhance the understanding of icing behavior in low-pressure compressors and offer valuable insights for optimizing blade design in adverse environmental conditions.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{HelmichBraubachSchulzetal.2025, author = {Helmich, Roland and Braubach, Lars and Schulz, Theresa and Jander, Kai}, title = {Securing End-to-End Encrypted File Sharing Services with the Messaging Layer Security Protocol}, series = {Intelligent Distributed Computing XVII, 2024}, booktitle = {Intelligent Distributed Computing XVII, 2024}, number = {1203}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-031-87639-4_7}, pages = {107 -- 122}, year = {2025}, abstract = {To protect data on the servers of cloud service providers, file-sharing services rely on End-to-End Encryption (E2EE).

However, contrary to common assumptions, broad-spectrum 'warm' light can be nearly as impactful as broad-spectrum 'cool' light lacking ultraviolet radiation, despite the predominant influence of short wavelengths on physiological processes. The impact of ALAN is not consistently dose-dependent, as even low light levels (\< 5 lx) can cause substantial biological disruptions.

In Georgia, cervical cancer ranks as the fifth most common cancer among women, with approximately 330 new cases and 200 deaths reported annually. Despite the availability of effective HPV vaccines, national vaccination coverage remains low. This study aimed to evaluate HPV vaccination coverage, analyze cervical cancer incidence trends, and model the potential impact of increased vaccination uptake on cancer prevention outcomes in Georgia. Study design A retrospective observational study was conducted using national health registry data and modeling projections to assess the burden of cervical cancer and estimate the effect of scaled vaccination coverage. Methods National health databases were used to analyze HPV vaccination rates and cervical cancer incidence. Descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and linear regression were applied to identify trends and disparities. Additionally, a dynamic transmission model was developed to simulate the 10-year impact of increasing HPV vaccination coverage on cervical cancer incidence. Results The crude cervical cancer incidence rate was 15.7 per 100,000 women, with an age-standardized rate of 10.6 per 100,000. In 2022, only 38 \% of eligible girls aged 13-18 received the first HPV vaccine dose, and 26 \% completed the second dose. Regional disparities in vaccination and screening were noted, and overall screening coverage declined to 13,890 women screened in 2022. Modeling showed that increasing vaccine coverage to 60 \% could reduce cervical cancer incidence by 50 \% (preventing ∼163 cases); coverage of 80 \% and 90 \% could reduce incidence by 70 \% and 85 \%, preventing 228 and 276 cases, respectively. Conclusion Low HPV vaccination uptake in Georgia (38 \% first dose and 26 \% dull coverage) and declining screening limit cervical cancer prevention. Modeling shows that increasing vaccination coverage to 60-90 \% could prevent 163-276 cases over the next decade. Strengthening vaccination and screening strategies is essential to move forward elimination.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Blasek2025, author = {Blasek, Katrin}, title = {Umbruch in der Scorewelt - Zur Transparenz-Initiative der Schufa}, series = {Digitalregulierung in der Bew{\"a}hrung : was bringt das neue Recht? : Tagungsband DSRI-Herbstakademie 2025}, volume = {2025}, booktitle = {Digitalregulierung in der Bew{\"a}hrung : was bringt das neue Recht? : Tagungsband DSRI-Herbstakademie 2025}, editor = {Bernzen, Anna and Heinze, Christian and Steinr{\"o}tter, Bj{\"o}rn}, publisher = {Beck}, isbn = {978-3-406-84186-6}, pages = {491 -- 510}, year = {2025}, language = {de} } @book{BurgerMenzel2025, author = {Burger-Menzel, Bettina}, title = {Multiperspektivische {\"O}konomik: Menschenbilder - Systemans{\"a}tze - Steuerungsideen}, edition = {1}, publisher = {Springer}, isbn = {978-3-658-48617-4}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-658-48617-4}, pages = {XIX, 460}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Wie gelingt Zukunftsf{\"a}higkeit in einer komplexen Welt?

Methods To achieve this, we used multiple computational approaches, including MAGMA, a tool for gene analysis of GWAS data, and its derivatives E-MAGMA and H-MAGMA, to improve gene mapping accuracy by utilizing tissue-specific expression and chromatin interaction data. Furthermore, we developed ME-MAGMA to incorporate methylation quantitative trait loci data, providing insights into epigenetic factors. Results We identified a total of 897 false discovery rate-corrected (<.05) candidates. These include voltage-gated calcium channels, voltage-gated potassium channels, and other genes such as NPRL2, CACNB2, and KCNT1 associated with epilepsy pathogenesis that act as key players in neuronal communication and signaling in the brain. Significance In this study, we propose new candidate genes to expand the dataset of potential epilepsy-causing genes. Further research on these genes may enhance our understanding of the complex regulatory mechanisms underlying GGE and other types of epilepsy, potentially revealing targets for therapeutic intervention.}, language = {en} } @article{RizunRevinaEdelmann2025, author = {Rizun, Nina and Revina, Aleksandra and Edelmann, Noella}, title = {Text analytics for co-creation in public sector organizations: a literature review-based research framework}, series = {Artificial Intelligence Review}, journal = {Artificial Intelligence Review}, doi = {10.1007/s10462-025-11112-1}, pages = {1 -- 45}, year = {2025}, abstract = {The public sector faces considerable challenges that stem from increasing external and internal demands, the need for diverse and complex services, and citizens' lack of satisfaction and trust in public sector organisations (PSOs). An alternative to traditional public service delivery is the co-creation of public services. Data analytics has been fueled by the availability of immense amounts of data, including textual data, and techniques to analyze data, so it has immense potential to foster data-driven solutions for the public sector. In the paper, we systematically review the existing literature on the application of Text Analytics (TA) techniques on textual data that can support public service co-creation. In this review, we identify the TA techniques, the public services and the co-creation phase they support, as well as envisioned public values for the stakeholder groups. On the basis of the analysis, we develop a Research Framework that helps to structure the TA-enabled co-creation process in PSOs, increases awareness among public sector organizations and stakeholders on the significant potential of TA in creating value, and provides scholars with some avenues for further research.}, language = {en} } @article{PilgermannVielhauerPetrovetal.2025, author = {Pilgermann, Michael and Vielhauer, Claus and Petrov, Denis and Dittmann, Jana and Kr{\"a}tzer, Christian}, title = {Attribution im IT-Grundschutz des BSI: Ausweitung der Detektion von Cyberangriffen im IT-Sicherheitsprozess}, series = {Datenschutz und Datensicherheit (DuD)}, volume = {49}, journal = {Datenschutz und Datensicherheit (DuD)}, number = {11}, publisher = {Springer}, doi = {10.1007/s11623-025-2173-5}, pages = {731 -- 736}, year = {2025}, abstract = {Inzwischen hat sich die Einsicht durchgesetzt, dass Cyberangriffe nicht komplett verhindert werden k{\"o}nnen.

This study presents an attack strategy that reveals smartphone PIN entries using computer vision and pattern recognition techniques. By leveraging modern segmentation and hand skeleton tracking, our method accurately identifies and analyzes finger movement patterns, even when partially obscured. We can reliably infer the entered PIN by combining these movement patterns with the smartphone's position and the on-screen keypad layout. This approach significantly enhances shoulder-surfing attacks, requiring only a video recording of the entry process. Our attack requires much less specialized expertise, making it more accessible. We conclude by analyzing the method's potential impact and its implications for public safety.}, language = {en} }
