Dariush Movahedian untersucht in „Dröhnendes Schweigen - Deutsche Politik und Medien zu Massenverbrechen im Tigray-Konflikt" Deutschlands Rolle in Bezug auf die Massengräuel in Äthiopien. Sheila Riek beleuchtet in "German Colonialism in Namibia and the Continuity of Structural lnjustice: Analysing the Parliament's Engagement with the Herero and Nama Genocide" die Erinnerungspolitik Deutschlands, was die Kolonialverbrechen des Deutschen Reiches in Namibia angeht. Dabei betreten die Beiträge oft auch theoretisches Neuland. Schließlich ist „Schweigen" bislang nicht prominent in den Internationalen Beziehungen bearbeitet worden. Während Dariush Movahedian mit der Diskursgebundenen Identitätstheorie Schweigen in der Politik, nicht aber in den Medien entdecken kann, arbeitet Eva Hörmann mit dem Spiralmodell des Transnationalen Konstruktivismus, um Schweigen gegenüber Massenverbrechen analytisch zu fassen. Sheila Riek bevorzugt dahingegen eine kritische Perspektive, indem sie Ansätze von Structural Injustice und die kritische Diskursanalyse nutzt, um Schweigen zur Herrschaftssicherung aufzudecken. Mit diesen Studien wird die Bandbreite und der Reichtum von IB-Perspektiven deutlich - und wir verstehen wieder ein kleines bisschen besser, wann, wie und warum wir schweigen.

N2 - In 1979, the Jewish philosopher Hans Jonas published “The Imperative of Responsibility: In Search of Ethics for the Technological Age”, one of the most widely read moral philosophy books of the post-war period. It is his reaction to the fact that the promise of modern technology has turned into a threat or has become inextricably linked with it. The article examines the central theses and the lasting significance of this concept from a distance of three decades.

Gleichzeitig bestehen beim Thema Partizipation aber Forschungslücken, insbesondere mit Blick auf digitale Formen der Partizipation. Letztere stehen erst am Beginn ihres Einsatzes, während die digitalen Medien sowohl die Alltagswelt der Menschen als auch die Planungsverfahren immer stärker berühren. Diese Arbeit befasst sich deshalb mit Partizipationsprozessen zur Beteiligung von Bürgerinnen, Bürgern und anderen Akteuren/Interessensgruppen in kommunalen Projekten und damit, wie diese Partizipationsprozesse im Lichte von aktuellen, modernen Möglichkeiten digitaler Partizipation anwendungsorientiert gestaltet und sowohl in städtischen als auch ländlichen Räumen akteurs- und ergebnisorientiert analog und/oder digital umgesetzt werden können. Das methodische Vorgehen basiert auf einem vor allem qualitativ- und interaktiv-sozialwissenschaftlichen Methodenmix und erfolgt in drei Zyklen: (1) einer initialen Datensammlung mit Fokus auf einem kommunalen Partizipationsprojekt, (2) einer Datensammlung 2 mit einem Fokus auf minimalen Kontrast und Ähnlichkeiten weiterhin im Rahmen des Partizipationsprojekts sowie (3) einer Datensammlung 3 mit einem Fokus auf stärkeren Kontrast und Unterschiede hinsichtlich Aktivität, Alter oder Kultur der Akteure bzw. hinsichtlich des (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kontextes. Die verwendeten Erhebungsinstrumente (vor allem narrative und problemzentrierte Interviews, Befragungen, teilnehmende Beobachtungen, ein Schulprojekt und die Erhebung digitaler Partizipations- und Forschungsdaten) zeigen die Bedeutung der drei Aspekte Milieu, Akteure und Programm in der Planung, Gestaltung und Durchführung von Partizipationsprozessen. Anhand dieser drei Gesichtspunkte ergibt sich zudem die Antwort auf die zentrale Forschungsfrage dieser Arbeit, wie Partizipationsprozesse in kommunalen Projekten gestaltet werden können, um digitale Formate sowie lokal-regionale Kontexte zu berücksichtigen, und welche Aspekte dabei relevant sind: (1) das analoge Milieu der konkreten (eher) ländlichen bzw. städtischen Kommune sowie das in diesem sozialen und emotionalen Betroffenheits-Raum vorhandene oder von den Verantwortlichen anreichernd eingesetzte digitale Partizipations-Milieu bilden insgesamt den Raum und beeinflussen die Atmosphäre des Raums, innerhalb dem sich der Partizipationsprozess und die einzelnen -formate je nach Projektphase an ggf. unterschiedlichen Veranstaltungsorten als mikrogeographische Milieus in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise realisieren; (2) die sich in verschiedener Weise in den Partizipationsprozess einbringenden Akteure/Interessensgruppen und deren (je nach Ausmaß der tatsächlichen oder emotionalen Betroffenheit ausgeprägte) individuelle Motivation, beeinflussen die Erfordernisse an eine analoge und/oder digitale informative, dialogische und/oder diskursive Kommunikation sowie an eine auf Bildung, Begegnung, Kooperation und Verantwortung bauende analoge und/oder digitale Interaktion im konkreten Partizipationsprozess; (3) mit dem konkreten Programm des Partizipationsprozesses und den einzelnen analogen und/oder digitalen -formaten gestaltet sich ein (Partizipations-)Projekt in unterschiedlicher Ausprägung milieuorientiert (mit der Definition und Analyse des Partizipations-Raums als Kern der Milieuorientierung und der Standortsuche als zusätzlicher Aspekt bei standortbezogenen Projekten), akteursorientiert (auf den Umfang und den Grad der Einflussnahme-Möglichkeit der Akteure/Interessensgruppen von Nicht-Partizipation über Information und Mitsprache bis hin zu Zusammenarbeit und Mitbestimmung sowie Selbstbestimmung der Akteure blickend) sowie ergebnisorientiert (wirtschaftlich hinsichtlich Planung, Umsetzung, Entscheidung, Nachhaltung und Nachhaltigkeit). Die Bedeutung dieser Arbeit besteht zum einen darin, dass sie das theoretische und praktische Verständnis von Partizipationsprozessen erweitert, indem sie die Fokussierung auf gesellschaftliche Interaktionen in städtisch- und ländlich-digitalen Kontexten einführt, den es so bisher nicht gab, und damit auch die Action-Setting-Theorie von Peter Weichhart um digitale und regionale Anwendungsfelder erweitert. Die anwendungsorientierten Handlungsempfehlungen tragen zudem zur milieu-, akteurs- und programmsensiblen Umsetzung moderner Möglichkeiten analoger und/oder digitaler Partizipation bei. Schließlich eröffnet diese Arbeit Anknüpfungspunkte für künftige Forschungen – etwa in der Motivationspsychologie, der Kommunikations- und Politikwissenschaft, der Volkswirtschafts- oder der Betriebswirtschaftslehre sowie mit Blick auf andere räumliche Maßstäbe bis hin zu landes-, bundes- und europa-politischen (Partizipations-)Projekten. N2 - Great importance and great potential are ascribed to social inclusion and participation, for example by the European Commission and national authorities in funding programs, by the United Nations, in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda, or by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research in the High-Tech Strategy 2025. At the same time, however, there are research gaps on the subject of participation, particularly with regard to digital forms of participation. The latter are only just beginning to be used, while digital media are increasingly affecting both people's everyday lives and planning processes. This work therefore deals with processes for the participation of citizens and other actors/interest groups in municipal projects and how these participation processes can be designed in the light of current, modern possibilities of digital participation analogously and/or digitally and in an application-, actor- and result-oriented manner in both urban and rural areas. The methodological approach is based on a primarily qualitative and interactive social science method mix and takes place in three cycles: (1) an initial data collection with a focus on a municipal participation project, (2) a data collection 2 with a focus on minimal contrast and similarities, which continues in the participation project and (3) a data collection 3 with a focus on stronger contrast and differences in terms of activity, age or culture of the actors or in terms of the (rather) rural or urban context. The survey instruments used (mainly narrative and problem-centered interviews, surveys, participatory observations, a school project and the collection of digital participation- and research data) show the importance of the three aspects milieu, actors and program in the planning, design and implementation of participation processes. These three points of view also provide the answer to the central research question of this work, how participation processes in municipal projects can be designed to take digital formats and local-regional contexts into account, and which aspects are relevant: (1) the analogue milieu of the concrete (rather) rural or urban municipality as well as the digital participation milieu, that is present in this social and emotional area of concern or that is used to enrich it by those responsible, form the area as a whole and influence the atmosphere of the area, within which the participation process and the individual formats are realized in different ways at possibly different venues as microgeographical milieus depending on the project phase; (2) the actors/interest groups involved in the participation process in various ways and their individual motivation (depending on the extent of the actual or emotional impact) influence the requirements for analogue and/or digital informative, dialogical and/or discursive communication as well to an analogue and/or digital interaction based on education, encounter, cooperation and responsibility in the concrete process of participation; (3) with the specific program of the participation process and the individual analogue and/or digital formats, a (participation) project is formed milieu-oriented (with the definition and analysis of the participation space as the core of the milieu orientation and the search for a location as an additional aspect in site-related projects), actor-oriented (looking at the scope and degree of the actors/interest groups' ability to exert influence, from non-participation to information and participation to cooperation and co-determination as well as self-determination of the actors) and result-oriented (economically in terms of planning, implementation , decision, follow-up and sustainability) in various forms. The importance of this work is, on the one hand, that it expands the theoretical and practical understanding of participatory processes by introducing a focus on social interactions in urban- and rural-digital contexts that did not exist before. This also expands the Action-Setting-Theory by Peter Weichhart by including digital and regional fields of application. The application-oriented recommendations for action also contribute to the milieu-, actor- and program-sensitive implementation of modern opportunities for analogue and/or digital participation. Finally, this work opens up starting points for future research – for example in motivational psychology, communication and political science, economics or business administration, as well as with a view to other spatial scales, including state, federal and European political (participation) projects.

They can even outperform human decision-making in many task domains (Meehl, 1954; Dawes et al., 1989). The prominent defeat of Garry Kasparov, the world champion in chess, in 1997 is a milestone for the potentials of algorithms, increasing the value of IBM’s stock increased by $18 billion (Norvig and Russell, 2010). More recently, universal chatbots such as ChatGPT and the Bing Chatbot Sydney can influence millions of users and provide them answers to a broad range of tasks. To gain a competitive edge, companies invest heavily in algorithmic systems (Kappelman et al., 2021), which are considered as one of the most important drivers of today’s economy (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2011; Hogharth and Makridakis, 1981; Önkal et al., 2019). Particularly in management accounting, an algorithmic data analysis offers the potential to support a high decision quality, making their usage a key factor for success. However, algorithms can not only support, but also manipulate human decision-making (Roose et al., 2023). Algorithmic advice can lead to overtrust, i.e. to the heuristic replacement of vigilant information seeking and processing in favor of the advice provided (Mosier et al., 2001). The implementation of algorithmic decision support systems is thus no panacea to improve human decision-making. In contrast, they can entail new risks, such as the uncritical use of these algorithms (Boden, 2016). Yet, this ‘dark side’ of algorithms is not sufficiently investigated in the field of management accounting. With advances in machine learning, algorithmic support can become even more of a black box, blurring the reference points for evaluating its advice quality and thus increasing the risk of overtrust. Stephen Hawking even warns that AI will be “either the best, or the worst thing, ever to happen to humanity” (Alex Hern in: The Guardian: Stephen Hawking: AI will be 'either best or worst thing' for humanity, 19th October 2016). Interacting with such algorithmic systems therefore requires data literacy skills for an appropriate use. They seem to be a crucial prerequisite in today’s data-driven world to reap of the benefits of algorithmic systems. If no reflective and critical interaction between human and algorithm can be ensured, the trend towards a digitalized world will be a race against the algorithm (Brynjolfsson and McAfee, 2011). This dissertation takes this understudied critical perspective on the increasing implementation of algorithmic systems and sheds light on different aspects of human-algorithm interaction, ranging from the ability to use data visualization tools to trust calibrations and critical evaluations of algorithmic advices. Study I investigates an adequate information representation of subjective multiple criteria decision problems, an important task in management accounting, to support human decision-making. Study II distinguishes different designs of the human-algorithm interaction investigated in the trust in automation literature and compiles factors influencing the calibration of trust and behavior toward the true capabilities of the algorithm. Study III examines the role of performance feedback on trust and advice usage in a forecasting task for a better understanding of the recently observed phenomenon ‘algorithm aversion’. Finally, Study IV focusses on the risk of overtrust in advice in repeated interactions with a forecasting advisor and investigates the calibration of advice usage. Each study thereby represents an independent contribution and contains all information relevant to the respective research questions asked in the study.

To master these challenges, suppliers need excellent commercial capabilities. This thesis considers these challenges and opportunities in sales, contracting, and pricing of complex B2B solutions in three essays: Essay 1 addresses the increased complexity for solution salespeople, who represent an essential strategic asset in solution selling. In-depth interviews with solution sales managers in study 1 and survey data from matched sales manager-salesperson dyads in study 2, reveal nine specific equifinal configurations of key personal and procedural competencies that qualify individual salespeople in their role and thus determine their solution sales success. The focus of essay 2 lies on B2B export relationships for complex product-service combinations in an international context. A regression analysis based on a survey study with 198 responses shows several direct and indirect effects of contractual and cultural constructs. The results give insights under which cultural framework conditions contract specificity serves as a safeguarding mechanism against uncertainty and opportunism. Essay 3 examines how the bidirectional agency relationship between suppliers and customers and the performance uncertainty of a solution influence B2B customers’ acceptance of performance-based pricing (PBP). Drawing on a cross-industry survey with 196 managers of B2B firms, this study contributes to extend PBP literature by showing how bidirectional agency relationships shape customers’ acceptance of PBP. In sum, this thesis contributes to a better understanding on how to optimize commercial capabilities in the context of national and international solution selling. It thereby focuses on addressing recently identified causes that hinder B2B firms from increasing their margins through solution selling by (1) optimizing the sales force through a better understanding of important resources and capabilities for solution selling, (2) optimizing their contractual set-up through a better understanding of cultural factors and the interplay with contract specificity, and 3) optimizing price policy through a better understanding of framework conditions, which have an impact on customers’ acceptance of PBP.

As a result of climate change and other, direct forms of anthropogenic interference, the magnitude and frequency of such floodings is predicted to continuously increase in the near future. Therefore, it is important to understand the vulnerability of affected people to implement appropriate measures. This research presents a case study on coastal flooding and its impact on livelihoods in the Volta Region of Ghana. The paper utilizes a vulnerability framework that focuses on exposure, susceptibility, as well as the capacities to anticipate, cope with, and recover from the effects of natural hazards. Based on a qualitative approach, the study focusses on those households who were directly affected of a severe tidal flood in November 2021, leading to a total destruction of their property. The research was conducted in March, July and August 2022. It revealed that the studied group had low capacity to anticipate and had no contingency plans in case of relocation. Further, we discovered different strategies that people applied to deal with the situation eight months after the flood event. Most households applied (short term) coping strategies to reestablish their former marine-based livelihood systems. Adaption in terms of long-term adjustment of their livelihoods played only a minor role and could be found in form of out-migration in a limited number of households.

This research addresses how the distributed generation location and capacity impact the operation of the circuit breaker in terms of the response time of the circuit breakers. The relative electrical distances of the faults and distributed generation to the circuit breakers are considered. The impact of distributed generation capacity considering the fault location is characterized using a new index called the heterogeneity index. The electrical distance between distributed generations and circuit breakers and the electrical distance between fault and circuit breaker is considered by a second new index called the electrical distance ratio. Data analysis on simulation results shows that these indices capture the phenomena of protection blinding caused by distributed generation. Results show that a higher distributed generation penetration and faults that are electri cally further away from a circuit breaker show severe cases of protection blinding captured by the indices. Furthermore, it is demonstrated how these indices can identify the worst impacted locations in the distribution grid. A key result is that protection blinding does not necessarily occur solely due to the presence of distributed generation between a circuit breaker and a fault, but is dependent on factors such as distributed generation location in the distribution grid, fault level, fault level distribution across the generation units and fault location.

Exhibition Audiences in Indonesia and Processes of Selection, Reception, and Appropriation Using the Example of the Exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting" N2 - In der Dissertation «Ausstellungen und ihr Erfolg: (Kunst-)Geschichten befragen» wird ein Teilbereich der Bildungsforschung untersucht, nämlich die informelle Bildung im internationalen Kontext. Die Arbeit kombiniert eine ausführliche Analyse einer Ausstellung und deren Publikum und fokussiert sich dabei auf die Perspektive der Besucher*innen. Als Fallbeispiel dient die empirische Forschung zur kunsthistorischen Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei», die 2012 in der Nationalgalerie von Jakarta stattfand. Organisiert als kulturpolitisches Instrument vom Goethe-Institut Indonesien, stellte die Ausstellung eine bedeutende historische Persönlichkeit Indonesiens, Raden Saleh, in den Mittelpunkt. Besonders bemerkenswert war, dass seine Werke erstmals retrospektiv mit Originalgemälden in seiner Heimat gezeigt wurden. Die Ausstellung führte neue Narrative, neu Ausstellungs- und Vermittlungskonzepte ein und weckte großes Interesse beim Publikum, was zu einem außerordentlichen Erfolg führte. Basierend auf Konzepten der kritischen Museologie, (Kunst-)Soziologie und qualitativen Medienforschung untersucht die Arbeit die Ursachen und kurz- sowie langfristigen Effekte des Ausstellungserfolgs. Durch die Erforschung der bisher wenig beachteten Sphäre der Kunstdistribution und informellen Bildung in Indonesien leistet die Arbeit einen wichtigen Beitrag zur Grundlagenforschung der Südostasienwissenschaften. Gleichzeitig adressiert sie verschiedene Desiderate in der Publikumsforschung und liefert Erkenntnisse für eine kritische Ausstellungspraxis auf internationaler Bühne. Unter der Berücksichtigung von vielfältigen Kontexten der Ausstellungsbesucher (Sozio-kulturell, physisch, persönlich) arbeitet die qualitative sowie quantitative Analyse die massgeblichen Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung heraus. Die Besucherforschung zeigte, dass vor allem die urbane Mittelklasse die Ausstellung aufsuchte. Besucher_innen kamen in die Ausstellung mit Vorwissen zu Raden Saleh in Form von Legenden. Dieses Vorwissen verhandelten sie in der Ausstellung neu und passten es an ihre persönlichen Bedürfnisse an. Gleichzeitig generierte sich das Interesse aus bis dato fehlenden Ganzkörpererfahrungen mit historischen Zeitzeugnissen zu Raden Saleh. Der Ausstellungserfolg war nicht nur auf den richtigen Ort, sondern auf den gut gewählten Zeitpunkt zurückführen. Die stattfindenden Feierlichkeiten zu Raden Salehs Geburtstag im Rahmen einer Erinnerungspolitik und diverse stattfindende Diskurse der Kunstwelt fanden in der Ausstellung die richtige Plattform, um Narrative zu Kunst und Geschichte zu verhandeln. Die Analyse der Selektions- und Rezeptionspraktiken der Besuchwer_innen machten die wichtigsten Erfolgsfaktoren der Ausstellung deutlich: ihre Fähigkeit an die oben genannten Kontexte der Besucher_innen anzuknüpfen oder diese für sich zu nutzen. Die Arbeit schließt mit Ergebnissen aus der Aneignungs- und Wirkungsforschung und deren Bewertung ab. Diese zeigen deutlich, dass die Wahrnehmung von Raden Saleh heute maßgeblich durch die Ausstellung «Raden Saleh und der Beginn der modernen indonesischen Malerei» beeinflusst wurde und verdeutlicht damit die Bedeutung und Verantwortung der informellen Lernorte wie Ausstellungen – insbesondere in postkolonialen Kontexten. N2 - In the dissertation "Exhibitions and Their Success: Examining (Art) Narratives", a specific area of educational research is investigated, namely informal education in an international context. The study combines a comprehensive analysis of an exhibition and its audience, focusing on the perspective of the visitors. The empirical research centers on the art-historical exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting," which took place in 2012 at the National Gallery of Jakarta. Organized as a cultural-political instrument by the Goethe-Institut Indonesia, the exhibition highlighted Raden Saleh, a significant historical figure in Indonesia. Notably, this was the first retrospective showcasing his original paintings in his homeland. The exhibition introduced new narratives, as well as innovative exhibition and educational concepts, which garnered substantial public interest, leading to its extraordinary success. Based on concepts from critical museology, (art) sociology, and qualitative media research, the dissertation examines the causes and both the short- and long-term effects of the exhibition's success. By exploring the hitherto under-researched sphere of art distribution and informal education in Indonesia, this work makes a significant contribution to foundational research in Southeast Asian studies. Simultaneously, it addresses various desiderata in audience research and provides insights for a critical exhibition practice on the international stage. Considering the diverse contexts of exhibition visitors (e.g. socio-cultural, physical, personal), the qualitative and quantitative analyses identify the key success factors of the exhibition. Visitor research indicated that the urban middle class predominantly attended the exhibition. Visitors approached the exhibition with pre-existing knowledge of Raden Saleh in the form of legends, which they reinterpreted and adapted to their personal needs. At the same time, their interest was generated by the previously unavailable holistic experiences with historical artifacts related to Raden Saleh. The success of the exhibition was attributed not only to the appropriate location but also to the well-chosen timing. The concurrent celebrations of Raden Saleh's birthday within the framework of commemorative politics and various ongoing art world discourses provided a suitable platform for negotiating narratives of art and history. The analysis of the selection and reception practices of the visitors highlighted the most critical success factors of the exhibition; for example, its ability to connect with or utilize the aforementioned contexts of the visitors. The dissertation concludes with findings from appropriation and impact research and their evaluation. These clearly demonstrate that the perception of Raden Saleh today has been significantly influenced by the exhibition "Raden Saleh and the Beginning of Modern Indonesian Painting", highlighting the importance and responsibility of informal learning sites like exhibitions – especially in postcolonial contexts.

In particular, the ability to drive automatically or even fully autonomously, update control software, and remain connected to the environment allows attackers to infiltrate highly critical vehicle systems and take control without adequate protection. Once not only individual vehicles but entire fleets are dominated by software, cyberattacks could disrupt a significant portion of the infrastructure and expose passengers to substantial risks. This work follows a holistic approach to protecting highly automated software-defined vehicles from cyberattacks by designing and implementing security concepts in the main phases of a vehicle's lifecycle. We use SAE level 4 prototype vehicles to evaluate our proposed techniques. We start with a systematic security requirement analysis using the ISA-62443 standard series, demonstrating how threats can be identified in a collaborative, hierarchical process and how the resulting security risks impact the software and hardware architecture of a self-driving vehicle. We show how this analysis process results in concrete requirements whose consideration reduces the overall security risk to a tolerable level. Subsequently, we develop technical solutions for selected requirements. We begin by securing the CAN and FlexRay legacy protocols, which we foresee being used in specific areas of SDV in a transitional period despite technological changes. To enable vehicle-wide security management, we address the management and distribution of cryptographic keys within such networks, mainly focusing on resource-constrained devices. We propose using lightweight implicit certificates for deriving cryptographic group keys that can be used in CAN networks. Additionally, we demonstrate how the slot-based frame structure of the FlexRay protocol allows for efficient "multi-slot" authentication, for which we calculate cryptographic keys using hash-based key chains. SDV use Ethernet-based communication protocols and custom middleware stacks to transmit large amounts of data in real-time. We develop a three-stage security process for the novel ASOA, which enables the development and central orchestration of system-agnostic functional software components on embedded systems and HPC platforms. After the central specification of the security architecture at the data flow level, security tokens are automatically calculated and distributed for runtime protection of the service-oriented, DDS-based data transmission. Our process ensures the strict separation of function and system knowledge, allowing for cost-effective and adaptable security architecture management. The evaluation in four self-driving, software-defined vehicles demonstrates an average runtime overhead of approximately 5.71%. As the initial risk analysis and actual cyberattacks have shown, protective measures against the compromise of control units must be taken alongside communication security. To address this, we develop a method for verifying and validating the software integrity of control units. A governmental third party confirms a measurement through a digital certificate, proving the examined vehicle's trustworthiness and suitability for participation in automated traffic. In the final step of this work, we present an assessment scheme that allows software-defined vehicles to evaluate security incidents during operation in terms of their maximum expected damage and initiate appropriate countermeasures. We follow the ISO/SAE 21434 standard and model attack paths using a graph representing dependencies among internal vehicle assets to account for the propagation effects of cyberattacks. The assessment of a security incident considers not only the probability of individual attack paths but also the vehicle context. Our practical evaluation demonstrates that we can detect, report, and assess security incidents below the human reaction time in the earlier mentioned prototype vehicles.

Organizations interact with internal and external stakeholder groups which not necessarily have the same legitimacy expectations. Due to several reasons, such as the adoption of new laws or the invention of new technologies, stakeholders’ expectations of legitimate actions can change in the course of time. Thus, to respond to changing stakeholder’s expectations, as integral part of a changing environment, is complex. The main objective of this dissertation is to answer the research question: “How do organizations respond to changing stakeholder’s expectations in context of sustainable development?”. Building on two empirical settings with four essays, this dissertation provides insights into organizations’ responses as reaction to changing stakeholder expectations with regard to sustainable development. In particular, it takes a closer look on the interplay between internal stakeholders, such as employees, and external stakeholders, such as politics or customers. The first essay summarizes the organizational factors for the implementation of a research data management (RDM) system within higher education institutes (HEI) and how they interact with each other. Based on Leavitt’s (1965) classical model of organizational change, the essay provides an overview about the interrelation between the individual components that make up an RDM system. The second essay investigates how early career researchers within HEI make use of different respond strategies to the state, market, professional, and community logic in context of RDM. It provides insights how employees deal with changing environmental conditions and the organization’s response to them. The third essay analyses the shift from voluntary to mandatory sustainability reporting and demonstrates different strategies organizations adopt to respond to it. The fourth essay incorporates the findings of the third essay and investigates which factors influence the organization’s strategy to respond. It focuses on the interface between the top management team and the chief executive officer. This dissertation makes at least two overall contributions to management and organization studies research. First, it emphasizes the role of different stakeholder groups and their impact on the organizations’ activities. Second, this dissertation shows the value of connecting different theoretical approaches such as institutional logics, upper echelon theory, and organizational transparency research in context of organizational legitimacy and demonstrates that a nuanced view is necessary to understand the concept of organizational legitimacy. This cumulative dissertation is structured as follows. Part A is an introduction to the study organizational legitimacy. Part B contains the four essays.

Die katholischen Synoden im frühneuzeitlichen Polen-Litauen bildeten hiervon keine Ausnahme: Obwohl Versammlungen des Klerus, waren sie stark ins politische System eingebunden, das sich zu einer Wahlmonarchie mit starkem Adel und parlamentarischen Elementen entwickelte. Diese Arbeit untersucht systematisch die politischen Aspekte der Provinzial- und Primatialsynoden in Polen-Litauen von 1447 bis 1643 aus der Perspektive der Kulturgeschichte des Politischen. Zunächst wurde eine bereinigte Liste aller Synoden erstellt, um Frequenz und Verteilung zu analysieren und diese mit der Aktivität des Reichstags zu vergleichen. Die Arbeit untersucht in der Folge die institutionelle Ausformung der Synoden, ihre Vor- und Nachbereitung sowie die Abläufe und Beratungen. Zudem beleuchtet sie die Funktionen, die diese Klerus-Versammlungen im politischen System erfüllten, und den Beziehungen, die sie zu anderen politischen Akteuren ‒ insbesondere dem König, dem Adel und dem Reichstag ‒ unterhielten. Da sich im Untersuchungszeitraum von zweihundert Jahren erhebliche Veränderungen in Häufigkeit, Funktionen und politischen Beziehungen zeigten, wurde dieser in vier Abschnitte zu je rund fünfzig Jahren gegliedert: Die erste Phase deckt sich weitestgehend mit der Regentschaft Kazimierzs IV (1447-1492), in der sich die parlamentarischen Elemente im politischen System Polen-Litauens herausbildeten. In der zweiten Phase (1493-1561) traf das nun voll entwickelte System auf eine rege Synodaltätigkeit. Der dritte Abschnitt beleuchtet die Phase nach dem abrupten Einbruch der Synodaltätigkeit (1561-1600). Der vierte Abschnitt (1600-1643) untersucht das moderate Wiederaufleben der Synoden in jener Epoche, in der sich das politische System durch ein Erstarken des Klientelwesens veränderte. Innerhalb jedes Abschnitts werden die vier Hauptfragen nach Frequenz, institutioneller Ausformung, Funktionen und Beziehungen zu politischen Akteuren behandelt. N2 - In the Early Modern period, church and secular politics were closely intertwined. The Catholic synods in early modern Poland-Lithuania were no exception: although they were assemblies of the clergy, they were deeply embedded in the political system, which evolved into an elective monarchy with a powerful nobility and parliamentary elements. This study systematically examines the political aspects of the provincial and primatial synods in Poland-Lithuania from 1447 to 1643 from the perspective of the cultural history of politics. First, a cleaned list of all synods was compiled to analyze their frequency and distribution and to compare them with the activity of the Sejm (parliament). The study then examines the institutional structure of the synods, their preparation and follow-up, as well as the proceedings and deliberations. It also highlights the functions these clerical assemblies fulfilled within the political system and their relationships with other political actors—particularly the king, the nobility, and the Sejm. Given the significant changes in frequency, functions, and political relationships over the two-hundred-year period, the study is divided into four sections of approximately fifty years each: The first phase largely coincides with the reign of Kazimierz IV (1447-1492), during which the parliamentary elements of the political system in Poland-Lithuania emerged. In the second phase (1493-1561), this now fully developed system coincided with active synodal activity. The third section examines the phase following the abrupt decline in synodal activity (1561-1600). The fourth section (1600-1643) explores the moderate revival of the synods during the period when the political system was transformed by a strong increase of clientelism. Within each section, the four main questions regarding the frequency, institutional structure, functions, and relationships of the synods with political actors are addressed.

Als Studiendesign wurde eine Kombination von quantitativen und qualitativen Methoden gewählt. An den verschiedenen Fakultäten der Universität Passau wurde zu Beginn eine quantitative Befragung unter Studierenden zu deren Nutzung von Lehrmaterialien und Medienangeboten durchgeführt. Danach folgten qualitative Lehrenden- und Experteninterviews zum Medieneinsatz in der Lehre. Zum Abschluss wurden in einer zweiten quantitativen Befragung Studierender die Zusammenhänge von Lernmotivation, Lernstrategien und Prüfungsangst genauer untersucht. In den Ergebnissen zeigte sich, dass die Studierenden die E-Learning-Angebote nur dann annehmen, wenn sie daraus einen unmittelbaren Nutzen ziehen. Den Lehrenden stehen die entsprechenden Ressourcen zum Einsatz digitaler Medien häufig nicht zur Verfügung. Kurz zusammengefasst bedeutet E-Learning an Universitäten vor allem Folgendes: Hochladen und Verwalten von Lernmaterialien auf Lernplattformen, zusätzlich die Bereitstellung von Videoaufzeichnungen bei Veranstaltungen mit hoher Teilnehmerzahl. Vereinzelt werden noch elektronische Klausuren oder Live Votings angeboten. Des Weiteren konnte nachgewiesen werden, dass die weiblichen Studierenden, unabhängig vom Fachsemester, über eine höhere Lernmotivation als die männlichen Studierenden verfügen. Wenn Studierende sich mehr Lernstrategien zu eigen machen, ist sowohl deren Prüfungsangst als auch die Anzahl der Arbeitsstörungen geringer. Künftig sollten die digitalen Medien verstärkt dazu eingesetzt werden, die Studierenden zur aktiven Mitarbeit anzuregen. Die Lehrenden sollten Zugriff auf spezielle technische Ausrüstungen sowie auf didaktische Qualifizierung und Beratung haben, damit sie auch anspruchsvolle Medienangebote wie Webbasiertes Lernen oder Apps umsetzen können.

First, they are confronted with surging rates of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), and second, climate change will take its toll and is predicted to cause catastrophic health impairments and exacerbate chronic health conditions further. Both will pose a disproportionate health and economic burden on low- and middle-income countries, which are also the countries least able to cope with them. By threatening individual health and socioeconomic improvements, and by putting an immense burden on already constrained health care systems, they impede the progress in poverty reduction and widen health inequities between the rich and the poor. Against this background, this thesis investigates the potential of NCD prevention and treatment measures in the context of Southeast Asia, with case studies in Indonesia. Specifically, it seeks to understand what kind of health interventions have the potential to be (cost-)effective considering the cultural background, lifestyle, health literacy and health system capacities in the region. Further, this thesis analyzes the interplay between NCDs and climate change and assesses the financial burden that both might pose in the decades to come. Hence, this thesis contributes to a better understanding of how the two health challenges of the 21st century, NCDs and climate change, can be addressed in the context of Southeast Asia and offers insights into what type of health policies and interventions can play a supportive role.

Recently, different cutting edge technologies have been addressed in the Financial Technology (FinTech) domain, including numeracy understanding, opinion mining and financial ocument processing. In this thesis, we are interested in analyzing the arguments of financial experts with the goal of supporting investment decisions. Although various business studies confirm the crucial role of argumentation in financial communications, no work has addressed this problem as a computational argumentation task. In other words, the automatic analysis of arguments. In this regard, this thesis presents contributions in the three essential axes of theory, data, and evaluation to fill the gap between argument mining and financial text. First, we propose a method for determining the structure of the arguments stated by company representatives during the public announcement of their quarterly results and future estimations through earnings conference calls. The proposed scheme is derived from argumentation theory at the micro-structure level of discourse. We further conducted the corresponding annotation study and published the first financial dataset annotated with arguments: FinArg. Moreover, we investigate the question of evaluating the quality of arguments in this financial genre of text. To tackle this challenge, we suggest using two levels of quality metrics, considering both the Natural Language Processing (NLP) literature of argument quality assessment and the financial era peculiarities. Hence, we have also enriched the FinArg data with our quality dimensions to produce the FinArgQuality dataset. In terms of evaluation, we validate the principle of ensemble learning on the argument identification and argument unit classification tasks. We show that combining a traditional machine learning model along with a deep learning one, via an integration model (stacking), improves the overall performance, especially in small dataset settings. In addition, despite the fact that argument mining is mainly a domain dependent task, to this date, the number of studies that tackle the generalization of argument mining models is still relatively small. Therefore, using our stacking approach and in comparison to the transfer learning model of DistilBert, we address and analyze three real-world scenarios concerning the model robustness over completely unseen domains and unseen topics. Furthermore, with the aim of the automatic assessment of argument strength, we have investigated and compared different (refined) versions of Bert-based models that incorporate external knowledge in the decision layer. Consequently, our method outperforms the baseline model by 13 ± 2% in terms of F1-score through integrating Bert with encoded categorical features. Beyond our theoretical and methodological proposals, our model of argument quality assessment, annotated corpora, and evaluation approaches are publicly available, and can serve as strong baselines for future work in both FinNLP and computational argumentation domains. Hence, directly exploiting this thesis, we proposed to the community, a new task/challenge related to the analysis of financial arguments: FinArg-1, within the framework of the NTCIR-17 conference. We also used our proposals to react to the Touché challenge at the CLEF 2021 conference. Our contribution was selected among the «Best of Labs».

To ensure the sustainable handling of research data, the European Commission as well as scientific commissions have recently highlighted the importance of implementing a research data management system (RDMS) in higher education institutes (HEI) which combines technical as well as organizational solutions. A deep understanding of the requirements of research data management (RDM), as well as an overview of the different stakeholders, is a key prerequisite for the implementation of an RDMS. Based on a scientific literature review, the aim of this study is to answer the following research questions: “What organizational factors need to be considered when implementing an RDMS? How do these organizational factors interact with each other and how do they constrain or facilitate the implementation of an RDMS?” The structure of the analysis is built on the four components of Leavitt’s classical model of organizational change: task, structure, technology, and people. The findings reveal that the implementation of RDMS is strongly impacted by the organizational structure, infrastructure, labor culture as well as strategic considerations. Overall, this literature review summarizes different approaches for the implementation of an RDMS. It also identifies areas for future research.

Increased media literacy in the population is one way to counter these issues and their implications. This especially applies to the sub‐concept of journalism literacy, focusing on the ability to consume news critically and reflectively, thus enabling democratic participation. For media companies, promoting journalism literacy seems logical for economic and altruistic reasons. However, research on German initiatives is scarce. This article presents an explorative qualitative survey of experts from seven media companies offering journalistic media education projects in German schools, focusing on the initiatives’ content, structure, and motivation. Results show that initiatives primarily aim at students and teachers, offering mostly education on journalism (e.g., teaching material) and via journalism (e.g., journalistic co‐production with students). While these projects mainly provide information on the respective medium and journalistic practices, dealing with disinformation is also a central goal. Most initiatives are motivated both extrinsically (e.g., reaching new audiences) and intrinsically (e.g., democratic responsibility). Despite sometimes insufficient resources and reluctant teachers, media companies see many opportunities in their initiatives: Gaining trust and creating resilience against disinformation are just two examples within the larger goal of enabling young people to be informed and opinionated members of a democratic society.

The persistent male dominance in this domain has created an urgent need for more heterogeneous groups in software engineering. This lack of diversity not only hinders underrepresented groups from entering the field but also prevents them from gaining initial programming experiences, which are a core component of software engineering and essential for developing computational thinking. To address this crisis and its implications, early interventions are key in shaping positive perceptions, building confidence, and sparking initial interest in programming among underrepresented groups before societal stereotypes of programming as a nerdy field manifests. This means starting with basic programming courses for children and continuing through to first-year university students in order to foster technical skills and computational thinking, alongside creativity and collaboration. However, there is limited understanding of how introductory programming course designs impact diversity-dependent characteristics to create welcoming and learning-friendly environments. This understanding is particularly important for underrepresented groups, especially girls, to benefit from their first programming experiences as they are often hindered by the initial perception of programming as (1) abstract and unappealing, and (2) non-social to novices. Engaging, creative, and relatable topics in programming courses might demystify complex programming concepts, making them more accessible, less intimidating, and appealing. However, understanding programming is not just about the content---it is also about the context in which it is learned. Introducing programming as social activity is important, particularly for young learners. By emphasizing team work, we might encourage collaboration and peer support, counteracting the lone-wolf programmer stereotype. Therefore, this doctoral thesis investigates the effects of both key aspects in programming courses---(1) topic choices and (2) group constellations---on young programming novices. The aim is to provide a holistic understanding of how different course designs can support diverse learners and promote gender equality in programming education. While this research primarily addresses gender diversity due to the persistent gender gap in software engineering, it also examines additional diversity dimensions, including age, ethnicity, prior programming experience, disabilities, and educational background. A total of 13 studies were conducted within this thesis, examining the current state of educational settings and utilizing various introductory programming courses designed for children aged 8 to 18, as well as first-year university students. These studies employed different programming environments, such as Scratch and Sonic Pi, and incorporated a variety of topics and group constellations to observe their effects on student outcomes. By using a mixed-methods design, data were gathered through surveys, observations, and both data-driven and manual code analysis. Key findings reveal that it is particularly noteworthy how children utilize the programming environment to engage with and creatively express topics aligned with their interests which also align mostly with gender-stereotypes, including elements from internet and popular culture as well as socio-cultural narratives. However, gender-sensitive and neutral topic choices enhance engagement, self-efficacy, contribution, code quality and creative output, while also contributing to reduce stereotypical beliefs about programming, particularly among girls. In line with the findings for the course topic, group constellations also influence programming experiences. In particular, introducing pair programming in courses shows a promising approach for young learners, but attention must be paid to mitigate socially learned gender-stereotypical behaviours. Another finding indicates that, unlike professional software teams, mixed-diverse student teams often encounter substantial challenges, thus benefit from clear communication guidelines and supportive environments to promote better collaboration. This doctoral thesis concludes with guidelines for designing more effective and inclusive introductory programming courses. These recommendations include using gender-sensitive course materials, allowing for creative freedom through topic choices while encouraging the use of advanced programming concepts, promoting collaboration through pair programming while fostering enhanced communication, boosting self-efficacy with quick positive feedback for girls in particular, and providing emotional support for underrepresented groups. By following these guidelines, educators can create more engaging, inclusive, and effective programming courses. This may ultimately promote a more equitable and diverse future generation of professional software developers while also fostering computational thinking, encouraging a broader interest in programming among all young learners.

N2 - This dissertation provides scientific support for the two-year pilot project „BegIN - promoting giftedness in Lower Bavaria". In the course of the implementation project, criteria for a seal of potential and giftedness are being developed, with which the nine participating pilot project schools are to be certified for three years. In order to support teachers in the development of their lessons, teacher training courses are being organised. All headteachers of the participating pilot project schools and a representative of the school authorities will be interviewed at two survey periods to obtain their views on their understanding of the term, their expectations, challenges and the necessary framework conditions. In addition, the teachers of the participating pilot project schools will also be quantitatively surveyed at two points in time, one year apart, about their subjective assessments regarding the implementation of inclusive gifted education.

Letzterer widmet sich der theoretischen Erfassung von Möglichkeitsräumen in der Außenpolitik. In theoriegeleiteten Fallstudien analysiert die Arbeit den Zusammenhang zwischen Identitäten, Diskursen und Verhaltensweisen mit dem Ziel, außenpolitische Möglichkeitsräume in unterschiedlichen Handlungskontexten zu ermitteln. Das im Mantelteil neu generierte Modell zur Erforschung dieser Möglichkeitsräume überspannt die verschiedenen Theorien der Einzelbeiträge und zeigt so den Mehrwert einer konstitutiven sozialkonstruktivistischen Außenpolitiktheorie auf. Im Modell werden die folgenden drei Analysefelder herausgearbeitet: 1) Historische Vorstudie, 2) Fallspezifische Diskursanalyse und 3) Konstitutive Wirkungen. Anhand der Fallstudien wird dargelegt, wie der außenpolitische Rechtfertigungsdiskurs die Identität und damit den Möglichkeitsraum des Akteurs entweder reproduziert, erweitert oder durchbricht und welche konkreten Implikationen dies für den aktuellen und zukünftigen Handlungsspielraum in der Außenpolitik hat. Im Ergebnis können unter Anwendung des Modells die langfristigen Wirkungen von politischen Reaktionen auf Krisenereignisse differenziert bewertet werden. Dies führt zu einem besseren Verständnis von Nachhaltigkeit in der Außenpolitik und legt dar, dass sozialkonstruktivistische Außenpolitikforschung in der Lage ist, über die Gegenwart hinaus Aussagen über das zu erwartende Verhalten von Staaten in einem bestimmten Handlungskontext abzugeben.

In Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems, no concrete assumptions are made about the behavior of faulty replicas. With the advancement of distributed ledger technologies (DLT), planetary-scale BFT SMR ist becoming practical and necessary as it can serve as a consensus primitive to keep the ledger consistent. In our view, the alignment of BFT SMR to DLT brings new challenges, for instance the scalability aspect, where recent research works less frequently address latency improvements than throughput improvements. Further challenges include the geographic dispersion of replicas within a planetary-scale system and the need of a BFT SMR protocol to react to environmental changes during runtime. This thesis has the objective to improve BFT SMR for planetary-scale systems by lowering the protocol latency observed by clients and by making the BFT SMR system adaptive, i.e., enabling replicas to react to perceived changes such as changing network characteristics or faulty replicas. As a first contribution of this thesis, we discover that fast, consensus-free (read-only) operations is a flawed optimization in seminal BFT SMR frameworks, such as PBFT and BFT-SMaRt. We explain how the read-only optimization can violate the protocol's liveness by showing an attack and then present a solution that makes the overall, optimized protocol both live and linearizable. The second contribution is Adaptive Wide-Area Replication (AWARE), which enables a geo-replicated system to adapt to its environment, thus improving the geographical scalability of consensus if replicas are dispersed across the world. Essentially, AWARE is an automated and dynamic voting-weight tuning and leader positioning scheme, which supports the emergence of fast consensus quorums in the system and builds upon previous work, the WHEAT protocol. AWARE combines reliable self-monitoring with a consensus latency prediction model, thus striving to minimize the system’s consensus latency at runtime, which subsequently results in latency improvements observed by clients scattered across the globe, which we validate through experiments. The third contribution presents FlashConsensus, a protocol derived from AWARE, that also adjusts the resilience threshold. The core idea is the tentative use of a lower resilience threshold which leads to smaller consensus quorums and thus consensus acceleration in common-case scenarios where we expect only few faulty replicas. FlashConsensus achieves threat-level awareness through the incorporation of two modes of operation and BFT forensic support and guarantees liveness and linearizability under optimal resilience. Moreover, FlashConsensus allows for client-side speculation by using incremental consistency guarantees to further lower request latency. Additionally, we investigate on the question whether we can reason about the performance of large-scale systems utilizing simulations. We discover, that we can faithfully forecast the performance of BFT protocols by plugging real protocol implementations into a high-performance network simulator. For instance, simulation results reveal that, using 51 replicas scattered across the planet, FlashConsensus can finalize operations in less than 0.4 s, which is half of the time required for a PBFT-like protocol in the same network, and matching the latency of this protocol running on the best possible internet links (transmitting at 67% of the speed of light). N2 - Die Zustandsmaschinenreplikation (ZMR) ist ein klassischer Ansatz für zuverlässige verteilte Systeme. In Byzantinischen fehlertoleranten (BFT) Systemen werden keine konkreten Annahmen über das Verhalten von fehlerhaften Replikaten gemacht. Mit dem Voranschreiten der sog. „Distributed Ledger Technologien“ (DLT) wird planetare BFT ZMR praktikabel und notwendig, da sie als Konsensusprimitiv dienen kann, um die Konsistenz einer Blockchain aufrechtzuerhalten. Unserer Ansicht nach bringt die Ausrichtung von BFT ZMR an DLT neue Herausforderungen mit sich, z.B. den Skalierbarkeitsaspekt, bei dem jüngste Forschungsarbeiten seltener Latenzverbesserungen als Durchsatzverbesserungen untersuchen. Weitere Herausforderungen umfassen die geografische Verteilung von Replikaten innerhalb eines planetaren Systems sowie die Notwendigkeit eines BFT ZMR Protokolls während der Laufzeit auf Veränderungen zu reagieren. Diese Dissertation verfolgt das Ziel, die BFT ZMR für planetare Systeme durch Senkung der von Clients beobachteten Protokolllatenz zu verbessern und die BFT ZMR-Systeme anpassungsfähig zu machen, indem Replikate auf wahrgenommene Änderungen wie sich ändernde Netzwerkcharakteristiken oder fehlerhafte Replikate reagieren können. Als erster Beitrag dieser Dissertation zeigen wir, dass schnelle, konsensusfreie (nur-lesende) Operationen in grundlegenden BFT ZMR Protokollen, wie PBFT und BFT-SMaRt, eine fehlerhafte Optimierung sind. Wir erklären, wie die nur-lesende Optimierung die Liveness (Verfügbarkeit von Operationen) des Protokolls verletzen kann, indem wir einen Angriff präsentieren und dann eine Lösung vorschlagen, die das insgesamt optimierte Protokoll sowohl live (verfügbar) als auch linearisierbar („linearizable“ -- streng konsistent) macht. Der zweite Beitrag ist Adaptive Wide-Area Replication (AWARE), mit der ein geo-repliziertes System sich an seine Umgebung anpassen kann und damit die geografische Skalierbarkeit des Konsensus verbessert, wenn Replikate auf der ganzen Welt verteilt sind. Im Wesentlichen ist AWARE ein automatisches und dynamisches Stimmgewichtseinstellungs- und Anführerpositionierungs-schema, das die Entstehung schneller Konsensusquoren im System unterstützt und auf früheren Arbeiten, wie dem WHEAT-Protokoll, aufbaut. AWARE kombiniert zuverlässige Selbstüberwachung mit einem Konsensuslatenzvorhersagemodell und strebt danach, die Konsensuslatenz des Systems zur Laufzeit zu minimieren, was letztendlich zu Latenzgewinnen führt, die von Clients auf der ganzen Welt beobachtbar sind, was wir durch Experimente bestätigen. Der dritte Beitrag stellt FlashConsensus vor, ein Protokoll, das aus AWARE abgeleitet ist und auch die Resilienzschwelle anpasst. Die Kernidee ist die vorübergehende Verwendung einer niedrigeren Resilienzschwelle, die zu kleineren Konsensusquoren und damit zu einer Beschleunigung des Konsensus in häufigen Fällen führt, in denen nur wenige fehlerhafte Replikate erwartet werden. FlashConsensus erkennt und reagiert auf Bedrohungen durch die Einbeziehung von zwei Betriebsarten und BFT-Forensikunterstützung und garantiert Liveness sowie Konsistenz unter optimaler Resilienz. Darüber hinaus ermöglicht es die Spekulation auf Clientseite durch die Verwendung inkrementeller Konsistenzgarantien, um die Clientlatenz weiter zu senken. Zusätzlich werden wir uns mit der Frage beschäftigen, ob wir die Performanz von groß-skalierten Systemen mittels Simulationen beurteilen können. Wir stellen fest, dass wir die Performanz von BFT Protokollen durch das Einstöpseln von echten Protokollimplementierungen in einen hochleistungsfähigen Netzwerksimulator zuverlässig vorhersagen können. Beispielsweise zeigen Simulationen, dass FlashConsensus mit 51 Replikaten, die auf der ganzen Welt verteilt sind, Operationen in weniger als 0,4 s linearisierbar verarbeiten kann, was die Hälfte der Zeit ist, die für ein PBFT-ähnliches Protokoll im gleichen Netzwerk erforderlich ist und ähnlich schnell ist wie dieses Protokoll mit bestmöglichen Internetverbindungen (Übertragung mit 67% der Lichtgeschwindigkeit).

One key technology that becomes part of this digital transformation is cloud computing. It allows users to have a running system as a virtual machine (VM) on the cloud without owning a physical server. Unfortunately, adversaries can also use those systems to conduct criminal activities. Therefore, developing a method to extract evidence from those systems is also necessary. One way is through digital forensics, and one method to do digital forensics of a VM is using virtual machine introspection (VMI). However, VMI has yet to be made available by any public cloud provider. This thesis addresses this issue by introducing methods for deploying VMI on public cloud providers. Four main challenges have to be solved. Firstly, VMI requires access to the hypervisor, which practically can access all VMs running on the same server. This leads to security and privacy issues where customers can introspect each other VMs. To solve this problem, this thesis introduces KVMIveggur, a versatile access control of VMI. It comes with different options that every customer can choose from based on their needs. Secondly, VMI introduces overhead to the running VM. This is because most of the introspection mechanisms perform data access to the monitored VM. Performing data access on a running VM can cause data inconsistency. Hence, pausing the VM before executing the data access is better. However, when the VM pausing frequency is high, it will affect the performance of the monitored VM. The current state-of-the-art techniques use caching to reduce the VM pausing frequency. However, it faces a problem: the cached data may be outdated compared to the actual data. Therefore, this thesis introduces VMIFresh, a better caching mechanism. We leverage both active and passive tracing mechanisms to ensure high performance and consistency of the data (freshness). Thirdly, many state-of-the-art VMI libraries and applications run perfectly only on Intel processors because Intel CPUs provide the best hardware support for VMI. However, AMD and ARM processors are getting more popular in cloud computing. Thus, it is necessary to retrofit VMI capabilities to support AMD and ARM processors. This thesis describes the requirements to employ VMI on AMD and ARM processors. We also provide the implementation of those requirements. Finally, to do introspection using VMI, it is crucial to have proper symbol information (layout and location of data structures) of the introspected operating system (OS) and user applications. While many existing VMI approaches concentrate primarily on analyzing OS data structures, analyzing user application data often receives no attention. In our approach, we address this gap by focussing on application-level introspection. We have identified several use cases that require this kind of introspection. We focus on cryptographic key extraction for two specific instances: secure shell (SSH) and transport layer security (TLS) by leveraging the power of machine learning techniques to locate those keys in the main memory effectively and efficiently. After we had solved those challenges, we combined a couple of our approaches and introduced two VMI applications: Sarracenia and VMIGuard. Sarracenia is a deception technology that tracks activities done on an SSH session. The main goal of Sarracenia is to attract adversaries away from the production system and learn about their behavior. On the other hand, VMIGuard also monitors the SSH traffic. But, it specifically monitors the activity of any git-related activities. The main goal of VMIGuard is to ensure the integrity of the hosted data from any internal malicious actor.

However, in many contexts, individuals disclose their data primarily for the benefit of others and society, thereby showing a form of prosocial behavior. This dissertation conceptualizes these types of data disclosure as prosocial data disclosures and argues that existing privacy research frameworks, such as the privacy calculus, have not been sufficiently applied in privacy research and need to be reevaluated to fully capture the complexities of prosocial data disclosures. Despite the growing relevance of understanding individuals’ willingness for prosocial data disclosures, existing research in this field is limited. This dissertation consists of four essays that seek to deepen the understanding of the underlying decision-making processes of individuals by exploring the antecedents and investigating strategies that promote prosocial data disclosure. By employing different research methods, including systematic literature reviews, qualitative and quantitative surveys, interviews, workshops, and conjoint analysis, this dissertation contributes to the identification of the multifaceted antecedents of prosocial data disclosure which can be classified into different drivers and barriers. Furthermore, by integrating insights from different disciplines such as behavioral economics, social psychology, and information systems research, this dissertation provides empirical evidence for the use of message framing and the deliberate emphasis on impact uncertainty as two promising strategies in promoting prosocial data disclosure. The findings derived from all four essays inform privacy research and prosocial behavior research about the need for sophisticated theories that are capable of better capturing the complexities of prosocial data disclosure. Additionally, the findings offer practical implications for designing ethically responsible data disclosure practices while respecting individual privacy rights.

Chapter 1 reviews the existing experimental evidence on microfinance. We use this deep literature to highlight challenges in generalizing from empirical research. Chapter 2 and 3 provide empirical insights on the energy access-poverty nexus. We study the long-term adoption of grid electrification and evaluate whether productive use can foster adoption and impact. Chapter 4 addresses data quality, an essential yet often overlooked element in research and policymaking.

Es wird angenommen, dass durch de-fragmentierende Lehr-Lernarrangements die Studierenden dabei unterstützt werden können, ein dynamisches mentales Modell von Fachunterricht aufzubauen, das trägem Wissen vorbeugt und synergetisches Lernen, kohärentes Wissen sowie eine erhöhte Reflexionsfähigkeit fördert. Empirisch ungeklärt ist aber bisher, was konkret Gelingensbedingungen kognitiver Vernetzung in der Lehrerbildung sind und wie sich der Erfolg vernetzter Lehre messen lässt. Am Beispiel der Vernetzung von Literaturdidaktik und Literaturwissenschaft in der Deutschlehrerbildung konnte in vorliegender Studie gezeigt werden, dass durch ein Treatment, in welchem systematisch vernetzte Hinweisreize (sog. de-fragmentierende Prompts) eingesetzt wurden, eine komplexe, vernetzte Problemstellung (Aufgabenkonstruktion) besser gelöst werden konnte als in der Kontrollgruppe. Mit der fachlichen Spezifizierung auf das Themenfeld Textverstehen und Aufgabenkonstruktion wurden zwei für zukünftige Deutschlehrkräfte zentrale Professionsfacetten adressiert, die beide bezüglich ihrer Binnenstrukturierung und der diesbezüglichen Kompetenzerwerbsforschung noch Desiderate aufweisen. Hinsichtlich des Bereichs Textverstehen konnte ein aus fachspezifischer Perspektive vielversprechendes Modell literarischer Kompetenz auf semiotischer Grundlage (Schilcher & Pissarek, 2015) in diesem Kontext erstmals im hochschulischen Vermittlungsprozess empirisch untersucht werden. Hier konnten insbesondere hinsichtlich der Kategorien Raum, Figur und Handlung positive Effekte auf die Textverstehensleistung Studierender festgestellt werden. Eine grundsätzliche Überlegenheit des literatursemiotischen Modells konnte aber nicht bestätigt werden. Die Befunde weisen darauf hin, dass das literatursemiotische Modell hinsichtlich einiger zentraler Teilkompetenzen im Textverstehen förderlich sein kann, dass die Studierenden aber im Professionalisierungsprozess in diesem Bereich womöglich noch gezielterer Förderung bedürfen, um hier Expertise aufzubauen. Die Daten bestärken hinsichtlich der Erforschung vernetzter Lehrerbildung die Annahme, dass de-fragmentierende Prompts Wirkungsfaktoren bei der Vernetzung professionellen Wissens darstellen können.

Über Zivilgesellschaft, Befähigungsarbeit und den Auftrag der Kirchen JF - Ethik und Gesellschaft N2 - Öffentliche Debatten stehen immer in der Gefahr betroffene Gruppen auszuschließen. Die Regeln des demokratisch orientierten, kommunikativen Zusammen- und Auseinandersetzens schließen jedoch die Anforderung einer kommunikativen Inklusion und Achtung gegenüber allen Betroffenen ein. Um diese erfüllen zu können, braucht es eine vorgängige Praxis, die für die Offenheit der Öffentlichkeit aktiv ist und zum Handeln und Diskurs ermächtigt. Die Handlungsermächtigung hat eine strukturelle und eine personale Dimension. Erst wenn die Beteiligungsmöglichkeiten für alle Kommunikationsfähigen und die Vertreter der Nicht-Kommunikationsfähigen faktisch existieren, kann die Auseinandersetzung zu einer öffentlichen, kann die öffentliche Auseinandersetzung tatsächlich eine demokratische werden. Kirche ist in Wahrnehmung der »kommunikativen Diakonie« als Befähigungsakteur gefordert. Sie kommt dabei nicht umhin, auch ihre innere Öffentlichkeit zu entfalten. N2 - Public debates always run the risk of excluding affected groups. However, the rules of democratically orientated, communicative interaction and debate include the requirement of communicative inclusion and respect for all those affected. In order to be able to fulfil this, a prior practice is required that is active for the openness of the public and empowers action and discourse. Authorisation to act has a structural and a personal dimension. Only when opportunities for participation exist for all those capable of communicating and the representatives of those who are not capable of communicating can the debate become a public one, can the public debate actually become a democratic one. The church is called upon to fulfil the role of “communicative diakonia” as an enabling actor. In doing so, it cannot avoid developing its inner public sphere.

The SCRATCH programming environment is particularly popular, with more than 90 million registered users at the time of this writing. While the block-based nature of S CRATCH helps learners by preventing syntactical mistakes, there nevertheless remains a need to provide feedback and support in order to implement desired functionality. To support individual learning and classroom settings, this feedback and support should ideally be provided in an automated fashion, which requires tests to enable dynamic program analysis. In prior work we introduced W HISKER , a framework that enables automated testing of S CRATCH programs. However, creating these automated tests for S CRATCH programs is challenging. In this paper, we therefore investigate how to automatically generate W HISKER tests. Generating tests for S CRATCH raises important challenges: First, game-like programs are typically randomised, leading to flaky tests. Second, S CRATCH programs usually consist of animations and interactions with long delays, inhibiting the application of classical test generation approaches. Thus, the new application domain raises the question of which test generation technique is best suited to produce high coverage tests capable of detecting faulty behaviour. We investigate these questions using an extension of the W HISKER test framework for automated test generation. Evaluation on common programming exercises, a random sample of 1000 S CRATCH user programs, and the 1000 most popular S CRATCH programs demonstrates that our approach enables W HISKER to reliably accelerate test executions, and even though many SCRATCH programs are small and easy to cover, there are many unique challenges for which advanced search-based test generation using many-objective algorithms is needed in order to achieve high coverage.

Institutional quality has been examined using broad indices of rule of law, the rate of murder, the share of the shadow economy and provision of public goods. Nonetheless, we need to locate the specific institutional conditions under which the curse manifests since some “rule of law” countries like Nigeria and Angola are generally classified as resource cursed. In this review, I argue that managing and distributing natural resource wealth through a centralised planning strategy and lack of a binding long-term national development plan are institutional conditions that encourage government unaccountability as they do not restrict policy makers against discretionary distribution of natural resource windfall, rent seeking, clientelism and corruption which contribute to poor economic development and growth. Also, inadequate regulations on how to address the potential or actual impacts of natural resource extraction on the livelihood of local people and the environment tend to precipitate grievance-induced resource conflict.

By reviewing both the evolution of those distinctions over the previous decades and the ways in which they have been used in quantitative empirical research, we argue that the CED's evolution has been a partial success story, whereas discourse around the NPD has not seen substantial development. Despite lingering inconsistencies, researchers drawing on the CED have been successful in addressing different lines of critique and in using the CED as a heuristic for investigating notions of nationhood as expressed in public perceptions. In contrast, there has been only limited dialogue between theoretical and empirical approaches to the NPD. The article illustrates how research drawing on the NPD could profit from the CED's evolution. We close by providing a conceptual roadmap to guide the path towards more terminological clarity and to construct more theoretically robust measures for nationalism and patriotism. We specifically suggest that nationalism and patriotism should be consistently understood as ideal types that citizens can simultaneously hold to varying degrees.

Closure systems in algebraic lattices are studied as subspaces. Connections between order theoretic properties of a closure system and topological properties of the subspace are explored. A closure system is algebraic if and only if it is a patch closed subset of the ambient algebraic lattice. Every subset X in an algebraic lattice P generates a closure system〈X〉P . The closure system〈Y 〉P generated by the patch closure Y of X is the patch closure of〈X〉P. If X is contained in the set of nontrivial prime elements of P then〈X〉P is a frame and is a coherent algebraic frame if X is patch closed in P. Conversely, if the algebraic lattice P is coherent then its set of nontrivial prime elements is patch closed.

A related problem is to find representations for multiple input graphs that coin- cide on subgraphs shared by the input graphs. A common restriction is the sunflower case where the shared graph is the same for each pair of input graphs. These problems translate to the setting of comparability graphs where the representations correspond to transitive orientations of their edges. We use modular decompositions to improve the runtime for the orientation extension problem and the sunflower orientation problem to linear time. We apply these results to improve the runtime for the partial represen- tation problem and the sunflower case of the simultaneous representation problem for permutation graphs to linear time. We also give the first efficient algorithms for these problems on circular permutation graphs.

An investigation into relative warning density and external software quality on the example of Apache open source projects JF - Empirical Software Engineering N2 - Automated Static Analysis Tools (ASATs) are part of software development best practices. ASATs are able to warn developers about potential problems in the code. On the one hand, ASATs are based on best practices so there should be a noticeable effect on software quality. On the other hand, ASATs suffer from false positive warnings, which developers have to inspect and then ignore or mark as invalid. In this article, we ask whether ASATs have a measurable impact on external software quality, using the example of PMD for Java. We investigate the relationship between ASAT warnings emitted by PMD on defects per change and per file. Our case study includes data for the history of each file as well as the differences between changed files and the project in which they are contained. We investigate whether files that induce a defect have more static analysis warnings than the rest of the project. Moreover, we investigate the impact of two different sets of ASAT rules. We find that, bug inducing files contain less static analysis warnings than other files of the project at that point in time. However, this can be explained by the overall decreasing warning density. When compared with all other changes, we find a statistically significant difference in one metric for all rules and two metrics for a subset of rules. However, the effect size is negligible in all cases, showing that the actual difference in warning density between bug inducing changes and other changes is small at best.

We prove a central limit theorem for this ratio, which then allows us to reverse the inequality up to a multiplicative constant with high probability. The models of randomness include the uniform distribution on 𝓁𝑛𝑝 balls and spheres. We also provide a Berry–Esseen–type result and prove a large and a moderate deviation principle for the suitably normalized Hölder ratio.

The material traces of writing were understood to outlive their creators and promise to resurrect the authorial body through the magic of the relic. This article reconstructs how authorial script gradually transformed into a collectible object pursued as a memento and a commodity. Letters, drafts, and fair copies by major modern writers found their way into the collections of British aristocrats and American industrialists at the same time that hunting for literary autographs diversified into a middle-class pursuit. Surveying recent scholarship on nineteenth-century collecting and material culture, the essay offers a condensed cultural history of the literary manuscript as a collectible and draws attention to how collectors and collecting feature in fictional texts of the period. It focuses on the artefactual mobility and custodial afterlives of Romantic papers in Victorian literature and culture, exploring a form of collecting which crossed boundaries between periods and national literary traditions.
