Theorisation has delved into the types of leadership and, more recently, the activities performed by leaders. However, comparative research on leadership and detection of any changes over time is scant. Our paper attends to these tasks by looking at the activities of two German-speaking far-right leaders. For many years, Christian Worch was one of the most active and influential neo-Nazi leaders in Germany, communicating much of his activity and strategy in the mid-2000s through a regular circular (Rundbriefe). Similarly, Martin Sellner, both as leader of the Identitarian movement and independent activist, today exercises an outsized role in the German-speaking far-right scene, including through his regular publications in the magazines Compact and Sezession. Our paper uses data of Worch's and Sellner's writings, scraped from webpages and gathered from archives, in a mixed-methods comparative design to identify the tasks performed by these leaders, and how frequently. Quantitative text analysis techniques guide the qualitative evaluation of leaders' activities and reveal shifts - and continuities - in far-right movement leadership. The paper thereby contributes to scholarship on an important aspect of contemporary far-right movements as well as broader social movement literature on the topic of leadership.}, subject = {Rechtsradikalismus}, language = {en} } @techreport{GreilSchwarzStein2018, author = {Greil, Stefan and Schwarz, Christian and Stein, Stefan}, title = {Fairness and the Arm's Length Principle in a Digital Economy}, number = {42}, address = {D{\"u}sseldorf}, issn = {2365-3361}, doi = {10.20385/2365-3361/2018.42}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-12029}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The OECD Base Erosion Profit Shifting (BEPS) Initiative as well as the current fairness oriented public discussion regarding the taxation of digital business models highlight the importance and complexity of the arm's length principle. In a theoretical model of an internationally fragmented digital good's production process, we show that fairness considerations of tax authorities (namely inequity aversion) can result in a falling apart between a perceived "fair" and arm's length distribution of profits across tax jurisdictions. Our model predicts that a multinational firm follows the fundamental paradigm of international taxation, i.e. the arm's length principle, to properly incentivize internal agents involved in the production of a digital good. However, with inequity averse tax authorities, we find that tax authorities "prefer" a more equal distribution of profits compared to the arm's length allocation. From a multinational firm's perspective, inequity aversion among tax authorities dampens the strategic effect to - in accordance with arm's length principle - shift profits to low tax countries.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MarinosGeiger2014, author = {Marinos, Dionysios and Geiger, Christian}, title = {Facilitating the creation of natural interactions for live audiovisual performances}, series = {Proceedings of the 9th Audio Mostly on A Conference on Interaction With Sound - AM '14, Aalborg, 01.10.2014 - 03.10.2014}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 9th Audio Mostly on A Conference on Interaction With Sound - AM '14, Aalborg, 01.10.2014 - 03.10.2014}, editor = {Grimshaw, Mark and Walther-Hansen, Mads}, publisher = {ACM Press}, address = {New York}, isbn = {9781450330329}, doi = {10.1145/2636879.2636893}, pages = {1 -- 6}, year = {2014}, language = {en} } @article{KampaFinkeStalderetal.2022, author = {Kampa, Miriam and Finke, Johannes and Stalder, Tobias and Bucher, Leandra and Klapperich, Holger and Mertl, Fabian and Zimmer, Christian and Geiger, Christian and Hassenzahl, Marc and Klucken, Tim}, title = {Facilitating relaxation and stress reduction in healthy participants through a virtual reality intervention: study protocol for a non-inferiority randomized controlled trial}, series = {Trials}, volume = {23}, journal = {Trials}, publisher = {BMC}, issn = {1745-6215}, doi = {10.1186/s13063-022-06307-8}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-40118}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ScherpFranzSaathoffetal.2009, author = {Scherp, Ansgar and Franz, Thomas and Saathoff, Carsten and Staab, Steffen}, title = {F--a model of events based on the foundational ontology dolce+DnS ultralight}, series = {Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2009), September 1-4, 2009, Redondo Beach, California, USA}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Knowledge Capture (K-CAP 2009), September 1-4, 2009, Redondo Beach, California, USA}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {Redondo Beach}, doi = {10.1145/1597735.1597760}, pages = {137 -- 144}, year = {2009}, language = {en} } @incollection{NiemannFusseneckerSchloesser2019, author = {Niemann, J{\"o}rg and Fussenecker, Claudia and Schl{\"o}sser, Martin}, title = {Eye Tracking for Quality Control in Automotive Manufacturing}, series = {Systems, Software and Services Process Improvement}, booktitle = {Systems, Software and Services Process Improvement}, editor = {Walker, Alastair and O'Connor, Rory V. and Messnarz, Richard}, publisher = {Springer International Publishing}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-28004-8}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-28005-5_22}, pages = {289 -- 298}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{JakobsBoeldtSelbachetal.2019, author = {Jakobs, Christoph and B{\"o}ldt, Sebastian and Selbach, Dustin and Steffens, Jochen}, title = {Extreme response style in listening tests}, series = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics: integrating 4th EAA Euroregio 2019 : 9-13 September 2019 in Aachen, Germany}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 23rd International Congress on Acoustics: integrating 4th EAA Euroregio 2019 : 9-13 September 2019 in Aachen, Germany}, address = {Aachen}, isbn = {978-3-939296-15-7}, doi = {10.18154/RWTH-CONV-239966}, year = {2019}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{MayaKrieterWolfetal.2022, author = {Maya, Fatima and Krieter, Philipp and Wolf, Karsten D. and Breiter, Andreas}, title = {Extracting Production Style Features of Educational Videos with Deep Learning}, series = {Proceedings of DELFI Workshops 2022 Karlsruhe, 12.

This has a strong benefit of covering multiple topics with different design styles and facilitating the learning experience. Consequently, research interest in video-based learning has increased remarkably, with many studies focusing on examining the diverse visual properties of videos and their impact on learner engagement and knowledge gain. However, manually analysing educational videos to collect metadata and to classify videos for quality assessment is a time-consuming activity. In this paper, we address the problem of automatic video feature extraction related to video production design. To this end, we introduce a novel use case for object detection models to recognize the human embodiment and the type of teaching media used in the video. The results obtained on a small-scale custom dataset show the potential of deep learning models for visual video analysis.

Here we present the comprehensive dataset for which 105 participants reported temporally (rather) stable trait variables such as noise sensitivity, trait affect, and quality of life. They rated 6.594 situations regarding the soundscape standard dimensions, perceived loudness, and the saliency of its sound components and evaluated situational variables such as state affect, perceived control, activity, and location. To complement these subject-centered data, we additionally crowdsourced object-centered data by having participants make binaural measurements of each indoor soundscape at their homes using a low-(self-)noise recorder. These recordings were used to compute (psycho-)acoustical indices such as the energetically averaged loudness level, the A-weighted energetically averaged equivalent continuous sound pressure level, and the A-weighted five-percent exceedance level. This complex hierarchical data can be used to investigate time-varying non-auditory influences on sound perception and to develop soundscape indicators based on the binaural recordings to predict soundscape evaluations.}, subject = {soundscape}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{YamazakiHerder2000, author = {Yamazaki, Yasuhiro and Herder, Jens}, title = {Exploring Spatial Audio Conferencing Functionality in Multiuser Virtual Environments}, series = {The Third International Conference on Collaborative Virtual Environments}, booktitle = {The Third International Conference on Collaborative Virtual Environments}, publisher = {ACM}, address = {San Francisco}, pages = {207 -- 208}, year = {2000}, abstract = {A chatspace was developed that allows conversation with 3D sound using networked streaming in a shared virtual environment.

Most of the research is numerical and may differ from real-world practical use. The number of experimental studies is also relatively small. To facilitate commercialization, further investigation with practical and feasible dimensions is required. This comprehensive review paper aims to provide an in-depth analysis of experimental approaches and advancements in the field of SCPPs. The paper begins with an introduction, highlighting the background, significance, and objectives of the review. It provides an overview of the plants, discussing their principles and operation as innovative renewable energy systems. The historical development and evolution of solar chimneys are explored, shedding light on their progression over time. Case studies of operational hybrid SCPPs are examined to showcase real-world applications and performance. The paper also addresses environmental impacts and sustainability considerations associated with SCPPs. Furthermore, recommendations for future research and development in this field are provided to guide researchers and industry professionals.

The most promising concepts are Organic Rankine Cycles (ORC) and Steam Rankine Cycles (SRC). In previous work of the Center of Innovative Energy Systems, D{\"u}sseldorf (Germany), the technical and economic feasibility of a low pressure SRC has been investigated and the advantages in comparison to organic Rankine cycles are highlighted. A distinctive feature of the cycle is the use of the ICE coolant heat for evaporation, which limits the cycles maximum steam pressure to values below atmospheric pressure. This work presents first results of a test rig with data reconciliation according to DIN 2048 to validate the simulation results and design calculations. As a basis for the experimental investigations, a gas fired CHP plant was selected. The design of the test rig is optimized for the operation in the laboratory, where the coolant heat is emulated by a tempering device and the exhaust heat of the CHP plant is emulated by a gas burner. With the designed test rig, it is possible to control the volume flow and the temperatures of the coolant and exhaust gas, so that different load conditions of the gas fired CHP plant can be investigated. For initial tests, the turbine in the SRC is replaced by a throttle to achieve the pressure drop of the turbine. The experimental results show, that the exhaust and coolant heat of a 36 kWel CHP plant can be emulated and the performance expectations of the cycle can be met in stable steady-state conditions. Based on the measurement results and the turbine design calculations an electric power output of the cycle of 3.8 kW will be possible, which results in a cycle efficiency of about 6.5 \% and an increase of the electrical power output of the CHP plant of about 10 \%. The results show that the plant concept is technically feasible and, with further optimization, also represents an alternative to ORC plants in terms of increasing the efficiency of a cogeneration plant.}, language = {en} }
