Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Management Control Processes
No full textDigital transformation has developed significantly in the 21st century, and special attention has been paid to it in business and society. It is becoming more relevant and presents the private and public sectors with new challenges. Computer and mobile devices, information, and communication technologies are actively used in social, economic, industrial, engineering, and other fields, to create and implement their respective new-generation software applications. New paradigms based on the software industry including the development, and creation of new methods and methodologies or perfecting the existing ones are receiving a lot of attention worldwide, on which artificial intelligence (AI) had a significant impact. Regarding the ongoing digital transformation of organizations and business models companies have been facing the challenge for years of digitalizing the processes in management control. These processes have been undergoing fundamental changes, driven by the rapid development of AI in recent years. In this context, one of the most innovative and significant technological breakthroughs was the development of generative AI. AI tool ChatGPT plays an important role in advancing scientific progress by promoting the use of artificial intelligence, improving user interaction and accelerating innovation in various industries. This paper explores how AI can increase the effectiveness and efficiency of decision-making and management control. Effectiveness is achieved through strategic decisions and efficiency through operational decisions. By integrating AI technologies, organizations can automate repetitive tasks, streamline data processes, and improve financial reporting and forecasting accuracy. AI-based analytics provide managers with deeper insights that enable more informed decisions about resources, processes, products and services. In addition, the paper examines how AI has shifted organizational focus from operational efficiency to strategic priorities. This change has contributed to a more flexible and responsive management control framework that allows organizations to adapt quickly their control system to changing market conditions and maintain a competitive advantage. In addition, one of the most prominent fields today is nanomanufacturing and the optimization of production processes. Through AI-driven optimization, it becomes possible to refine the synthesis and assembly of nanostructures, significantly improving precision and efficiency in production
Christian Schicha: Kommunikationsethik
No full textChristian Schicha, Professor an der Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg, zählt zu den ausgewiesenen Experten für Medienethik. Sein 2025 erschienener Band Kommunikationsethik empfiehlt sich für Studierende, Lehrende und Praktiker und ergänzt das gemeinsam mit Carsten Brosda herausgegebene Handbuch Medienethik (2010) sowie seinen Band Medienethik (2019). Während das nach wie vor zentrale Handbuch vielfältige theoretische Ansätze und Perspektiven bündelt, führt Schicha nun als Alleinautor durch Grundlagen, Kontroversen, Debattenräume und Lösungsansätze
Bio-Based Epoxy Resins from Estragole: Achieving High Glass Transition Temperatures Comparable to DGEBA and Simultaneously Low Viscosities
No full textThis study covers the synthesis and characterization of two new bio-based epoxy monomers, diglycidyl-4-allylphenol (DG-4A) and triglycidyl-diallylphenol (TG-DA). Both are derived from estragole, a naturally occurring allylbenzene and a major component of the essential oils in basil. The resulting epoxy monomers, with high bio-contents of 92% (DG-4A), respectively 72% (TG-DA), were cured using two different amine hardeners: isophorone diamine (IPDA) and 4,4´-diaminodiphenyl sulfone (DDS). The curing agents were selected for their distinct properties: IPDA for its bio-based availability, and DDS for its ability to impart high thermal stability and rigidity. Dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) showed that DG-4A/DDS had a high glass transition temperature (Tg) of 236°C, which can compete with the petrochemical-based reference system DGEBA/DDS (Tg = 238°C). For the TG-DA networks, the resulting Tgs were 235°C (IPDA) and 300°C (DDS), both were higher than those of the DGEBA reference systems, due to higher crosslinking density. The dynamic viscosities of DG-4A and TG-DA were 80 and 15 times lower than those of the reference DGEBA at room temperature. These results suggest that DG-4A and TG-DA are sustainable alternatives to DGEBA, as they offer comparable or higher glass transition temperatures while maintaining lower viscosities, making them promising candidates for applications requiring high thermal performance, such as in the aerospace and automotive sectors
Künstliche Intelligenz als Produktionscontrolling-Tool
No full textDie Nutzung Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) im Controlling der industriellen Fertigung eröffnet neue Möglichkeiten zur Effizienzsteigerung, Prozessautomatisierung und datengetriebener Entscheidungsfindung. Sie ermöglicht innovative Lösungsansätze zur Optimierung komplexer Produktionsabläufe und zur Verbesserung der betriebswirtschaftlichen Steuerung auch in klein- und mittelständischen Unternehmen. Der Beitrag widmet sich einer empirischen Untersuchung, die einen Fahrplan zur Implementierung einer konkreten KI-Technologie ausgearbeitet hat. Dazu wurden der Selektionsprozess, die Initialisierung und nachfolgende Projektphasen der Anwendung bei einem Mittelständler über einen Zeitraum von 6 Monaten begleitet und evaluiert

Applied Antifragility in Technical Systems
No full textThe book purpose is to build a foundational knowledge base by applying antifragile system design, analysis, and development in technical systems, with a focus on traffic engineering, robotics, and control engineering. The authors are interested in formalizing principles and an apparatus that turns the basic concept of antifragility into a tool for designing and building closed-loop technical systems that behave beyond robust in the face of uncertainty.
As coined in the book of Nassim Taleb, antifragility is a property of a system to gain from uncertainty, randomness, and volatility, opposite to what fragility would incur. An antifragile system’s response to external perturbations is beyond robust, such that small stressors can strengthen the future response of the system by adding a strong anticipation component. The work of the Applied Antifragility Group in traffic control and robotics, led by the authors, provides a good overview on the current research status
Aeroacoustic Effects of Fans and Blowers: A Pragmatic Guide for Designers and Engineers
No full textA significant percentage of electrical energy consumption is attributable to fans and ventilators of various kinds. They are inextricably linked to our industrial and domestic environment. Low-noise design and development is therefore a key aspect for future systems and machines in urban areas and is a top priority alongside aerodynamic efficiency and mechanical strength. Low noise emissions are required on the one hand to comply with legal guidelines, but on the other hand also to save costs with regard to sound insulation measures on the transmission path (silencers, insulating materials, etc.). This tutorial provides an overview of the sound mechanisms relevant to fans and ventilators and the associated fluid mechanical effects. Practical industrial examples and best practice options as well as their opportunities and obstacles are presented
