Among new photodetector types are photosensitive structures based on cascade concentrators, whose operational principle involves the absorption of optical radiation followed by its reemission at a longer wavelength and radiation concentration onto a highly efficient small-area photodetector. The absorption and re-emission spectra of each cascade layer depend on the characteristics of the material used. Сolloidal quantum dots are among the most promising materials for cascade layers due to their manufacturing technology, which provides for accurate control over the photoluminescence maximum position. It seems highly relevant to develop and to study photosensitive structures with cascade concentrators of various shapes based on CdS, CdSe/ZnS, and PbS colloidal quantum dots. Aim . To develop photosensitive structures with a wide-range sensitivity spectrum based on concentrators containing arrays of metal chalcogenide CQDs and to study their characteristics. Materials and methods . Cascade photosensitive structures were manufactured based on layers made of polymethyl methacrylate and layers of colloidal quantum dots embedded in a polystyrene matrix. Results . Three-layer concentrators were manufactured with different colloidal quantum dots in each concentrator layers. A 22 \% increase in the output power was observed for a three-layer cascade structure based on different cascade layer materials compared to a similar structure using a single layer concentrator. Conclusion . The conducted studies showed an increase in the efficiency of photosensitive structures with a cascade concentrator based on colloidal quantum dots of various types (CdS, CdSe/ZnS, and PbS) in the cascade layers.}, language = {ru} } @article{Vollmer2023, author = {Vollmer, Michael}, title = {So weit das Auge tr{\"a}gt}, series = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, volume = {54}, journal = {Physik in unserer Zeit}, number = {5}, publisher = {Wiley}, issn = {1521-3943}, doi = {10.1002/piuz.202301675}, pages = {222 -- 230}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Sichtweiten in der Atmosph{\"a}re reichen von wenigen Metern im Nebel bis zu einigen hundert Kilometern bei extrem guten Fernsichtbedingungen.

This PoC work combines the open data from Reddit and the part of the state-of-the-art BERT model. Using the PRAW Python library, the project fetches comments and posts of users. Then these texts are converted into a feature vector - representation of all user posts and comments. The main idea here is to create a comparable user's pair similarity score based on their comments and posts. For example, if we fix one user and calculate scores of all mutual pairs with other users, we will produce a total order on the set of all mutual pairs with that user. This total order can be described as a degree of written similarity with this chosen user. A set of "similar" users for one particular user can be used to recommend to the user interesting for him people. The similarity score also has a "transitive property": if \$user_1\$ is "similar" to \$user_2\$ and \$user_2\$ is similar to \$user_3\$ then inner properties of our model guarantees that \$user_1\$ and \$user_3\$ are pretty "similar" too. In this way, this score can be used to cluster a set of users into sets of "similar" users. It could be used in some recommendation algorithms or tune already existing algorithms to consider a cluster's peculiarities. Also, we can extend our model and calculate feature vectors for subreddits. In that way, we can find similar to the user's subreddits and recommend them to him.}, language = {en} } @article{SkylarSchwarzCreutzburg2023, author = {Skylar, Artem and Schwarz, Klaus and Creutzburg, Reiner}, title = {Practical OSINT investigation in Twitter utilizing AI-based aggressiveness analysis}, series = {Electronic Imaging}, volume = {35}, journal = {Electronic Imaging}, number = {3}, publisher = {Society for Imaging Science and Technology (IS\&T)}, doi = {10.2352/EI.2023.35.3.MOBMU-355}, pages = {355-1 -- 355-15}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Open-source intelligence is gaining popularity due to the rapid development of social networks.

Being divided into several domains (for instance, text steganography, digital media steganography, and network steganography), it is crucial to provide a unified terminology as well as a taxonomy that is not limited to some specific applications or areas. A prime attempt towards a unified understanding of terms was conducted in 2015 with the introduction of a pattern-based taxonomy for network steganography. Six years later, in 2021, the first work towards a pattern-based taxonomy for steganography was proposed. However, this initial attempt still faced several shortcomings, e.g., the lack of patterns for several steganography domains (the work mainly focused on network steganography and covert channels), various terminology issues, and the need of providing a tutorial on how the taxonomy can be used during engineering and scientific tasks, including the paper-writing process.

As the consortium who published this initial 2021-study on steganography patterns, in this paper we present the first comprehensive pattern-based taxonomy tailored to fit all known domains of steganography, including smaller and emerging areas, such as filesystem steganography and cyber-physical systems steganography.

While the use of technology influences users' behavior in a pace that is affected by the technology introduction to the market, legal activities can be driven by the society as the results of such interactions. This scenario analysis- based research focuses on a classic but fictional food recommender system and the ethical issues that might occur from its usage. The recommender system is taken here as an example of machine learning-based systems (MLS) that can often be found in the individual, business and administrative applications. The research compares the existing legal solutions, with the focus on the GDPR legislation, and the discovered ethical issues. The ethical analysis is led along the ALTAI principles suggested by the European Commission, the common good approach as well as the general principles constituted in human rights. While the GDPR-based analysis showed that this data- and privacy-based legislation addressed most of the identified ethical issues, questions related to the common good approach in the context of environment and mobility that arise due to the wide spectrum of the MLS usage require further legal discussion. The application of the two approaches shows that conducting the ethical and legal analysis is beneficial for both the designers of such MLS as well as the legal actors. The findings can enhance the design and functions of a user-facing MLS as well as influence or validate legal activities.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Levina2023, author = {Levina, Olga}, title = {Operationalizing Ethics for Information Systems Design - A Tool for Ethical Software}, series = {Konferenz: Twenty-ninth Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Panama, 2023}, booktitle = {Konferenz: Twenty-ninth Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS), Panama, 2023}, pages = {4}, year = {2023}, abstract = {Propagation of information technology in the increasingly diverse domains, raises question concerning moral implications.

One significant source of potential vulnerabilities is medical cyber-physical systems (MCPS). Detecting intrusions in this environment faces challenges different from other domains, mainly due to the heterogeneity of devices, the diversity of connectivity types, and the variety of terminology. To summarize existing results, we conducted a structured literature review (SLR) following the guidelines of Kitchenham et al. for SLRs in software engineering. We developed six research questions regarding detection approach, detection location, included features, adversarial focus, utilized datasets, and intrusion prevention. We identified that most researchers focused on an anomaly-based detection approach at the network layer. The primary focus was on the detection of malicious insiders. While several researchers used publicly available datasets for training and testing their algorithms, the lack of suitable datasets resulted in the development of testbeds consisting of various medical devices. Based on the results, we formulated five future research topics. First, the special conditions of hospital networks, the MCPS deployed within them, and the contrasts to other IT and OT environments should be examined. Thereupon, MCPS-specific datasets should be created that allow researchers to address the health domain's unique requirements and possibilities. At the same time, endeavors aimed at standardization in this area should be supported and expanded. Moreover, the use of medical context for attack detection should be further explored. Last but not least, efforts for MCPS-tailored intrusion prevention should be intensified.

However, if artificial light at night (ALAN) from illuminated bridges reaches aquatic habitats, such as rivers, it can threaten the river's natural heterogeneity and alter the behavioural responses of migratory fish. Here, via a pilot study, we quantified levels of ALAN at illuminated bridges that cross a river and, propose a conceptual model to estimate its potential implications on two migrating fish species with contrasting life histories. 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} } @article{Blasek2023, author = {Blasek, Katrin}, title = {EU-ID-Wallet - eine elektronische Brieftasche f{\"u}r die Europ{\"a}ische Union}, series = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r das Recht der digitalen Wirtschaft}, volume = {2023}, journal = {Zeitschrift f{\"u}r das Recht der digitalen Wirtschaft}, number = {4}, publisher = {Wolters Kluwer}, issn = {2702-4040}, pages = {125 -- 130}, year = {2023}, language = {de} } @article{Blasek2023, author = {Blasek, Katrin}, title = {KI im Herbst 2023: G7 und Bletchley Park oder von der Notwendigkeit der Einheit in Vielfalt}, series = {ZD-Aktuell}, volume = {2023}, journal = {ZD-Aktuell}, number = {20}, publisher = {Beck}, pages = {01434}, year = {2023}, language = {de} }
