We explore an alternative approach to the design of robots that deviates from the common envisionment of having one unified agent. What if robots are depicted as an agentic ensemble where agency is distributed over different components? In the project presented here, we investigate the potential contributions…
Der vorliegende Beitrag betrachtet die wettbewerbs- und medienökonomischen Eigenschaften und Effekte von algorithmischen Such- und Empfehlungssystemen und ihrer Regulierung. Dabei werden nach einer einführenden Klarstellung des Sinns und der Notwendigkeit solcher Systeme in der digitalen Welt (Abschnitt…
Um angehende Lehrkräfte auf die Anforderungen und die Gestaltung einer inklusiven Schule vorzubereiten, muss Inklusion als Querschnittsthema systematisch in allen lehrer:innenbildenden Fachgebieten verankert werden. In der inklusionsbezogenen Professionalisierung angehender Lehrkräfte müssen ihre inklusionsspezifischen…
Wikipedia’s influence in shaping public perceptions of science underscores the significance of scientists being recognized on the platform, as it can impact their careers. Although Wikipedia offers guidelines for determining when a scientist qualifies for their own article, it currently lacks guidance…
A characteristic property of monolayered transition metal dichalcogenides is their strong nonlinear response. While they display a high conversion efficiency per atomic layer, due to their low thickness, the absolute value of their nonlinear response remains low. Here enhancement of the second harmonic…
The influence of gut microbiota on physiological processes is rapidly gaining attention globally. Despite being under-studied, there are available data demonstrating a gut microbiota-gonadal cross-talk, and the importance of this axis in reproduction. This study reviews the impacts of gut microbiota…
Polymeric nanoparticles (PNPs) are frequently researched and used in drug delivery. The degradation of PNPs is highly dependent on various properties, such as polymer chemical structure, size, crystallinity, and melting temperature. Hence, a precise understanding of PNP degradation behavior is essential…
Identifying bacterial strains is essential in microbiology for various practical applications, such as disease diagnosis and quality monitoring of food and water. Classical machine learning algorithms have been utilized to identify bacteria based on their Raman spectra. However, convolutional neural…
Numerous digital media repositories have been set up during recent decades, each containing plenty of data about historic cityscapes. In contrast, digital 3D reconstructions of no longer extant cityscapes have so far almost solely been performed for specific cases and via manual modelling techniques.…
