No full textShooting methods for fractional Dirichlet-type boundary value problems of order α ∈ (1, 2) with Caputo derivatives
Full text linkFor the numerical solution of Dirichlet-type boundary value problems associated to nonlinear fractional differential equations of order ∈ (1, 2) that use Caputo derivatives, we suggest to employ shooting methods. In particular, we demonstrate that the so-called proportional secting technique for selecting the required initial values leads to numerical schemes that converge to high accuracy in a very small number of shooting iterations, and we provide an explanation of the analytical background for this favourable numerical behaviour
No More Binge Learning - Using Gamification Elements to Support Distributed Practice in Engineering Education
No full textAn effective technique to support sustainable learning is distributed practice, a method shown to enhance long-term knowledge retention. As part of our research agenda, we aim to investigate suitable design strategies for eLearning courses that support distributed practice through intrinsic motivation. Our most recent strategy followed the idea of linking the acquisition of badges gained by completing a set of quizzes with a small extrinsic reward, a small bonus in the exam grade. We built a course with quizzes and timed badges with staged deadlines for the badges to ensure students do the quizzes during the semester and not shortly before the exam. An initial evaluation of this course design yielded encouraging results. The assessment showed that students learned a great deal from the quizzes and were highly motivated by the quizzes and by receiving the badges. Qualitative feedback highlighted increased motivation, increased engagement, and lower levels of perceived stress among students, who attributed these changes to the platform's ability to make learning more enjoyable and less monotonous. This paper argues that the strategic use of gamification in engineering education can significantly support distributed practice by creating an interactive, motivating, and supportive learning environment
Seasonal and Long-Term Water Regime Trends of Cheremsky Wetland: Analysis Based on Sentinel-2 Spectral Indices and Composite Indicator Development
No full textWetlands are critically important ecosystems, but their dynamics, especially in complex regions such as the Ukrainian Polissya, remain poorly understood. This study focuses on the Cheremsky Nature Reserve, an internationally important wetland, to assess long-term (2017–2024) seasonal (spring-summer) trends in water surface conditions. Using Sentinel-2 data and the Google Earth Engine platform, 14 spectral water indices were calculated. Their temporal trends were analyzed using Sen’s method, mutual correlations, and principal component analysis (PCA) to identify the main patterns of variability. Based on the normalized trends and weights obtained from the first two principal components, an integral composite index (CI) for spring and summer seasons was developed. The results revealed seasonal differences in the behavior of the indices and their contribution to the principal components, as well as spatial differentiation of water regime trends within the reserve. The proposed CI allows for an integrated assessment of the long-term dynamics of the wetlands, which is important for the development of conservation and management strategies
AI in Customer Contexts
No full textThe authors develop an analysis framework for use in higher education and consulting to evaluate and compare AI-solutions in the global marketplace. In this paper the importance of the cultural background and trust for the responsible use and acceptance of AI by users is highlighted. With focus on consumers, the drivers of AI acceptance are discussed. By focusing on trust and responsibility as main drivers for acceptance, there is a first framework developed to analyze and compare to what extent trust can potentially unfold and how responsibility can be perceived

No full textDie Bedeutung der Wertschöpfung aus der Perspektive deutscher nicht-kapitalmarktorientierter Unternehmen
No full textDer Begriff ‚Wertschöpfung’ besitzt eine zentrale Bedeutung für die Corporate Governance in Deutschland, wie auch der Deutsche Corporate Governance Kodex (DCGK) hervorhebt. Dieser benennt die ‚nachhaltige Wertschöpfung’ als Handlungsmaxime für eine verantwortungsvolle Unternehmensführung und -kontrolle. Trotz dieser hervorgehobenen Stellung bleibt der Wertschöpfungsbegriff im DCGK undefiniert. Auch in der Betriebswirtschaftslehre existiert bislang kein einheitliches Verständnis dieses Begriffs. Vor diesem Hintergrund untersucht die vorliegende Studie das Begriffsverständnis von
Wertschöpfung in der Unternehmenspraxis. Im Mittelpunkt der Auswertung stehen dabei nicht-kapitalmarktorientierte deutsche Unternehmen, die im Gegensatz zu kapitalmarktorientierten Unternehmen nicht zur Einhaltung des DCGK verpflichtet sind. Dies macht eine Analyse besonders interessant, wie diese Unternehmen den Begriff ‚Wertschöpfung’ verstehen und umsetzen. Die Studie basiert auf einer standardisierten Online-Befragung von Unternehmen im deutschsprachigen Raum. Dabei wurden verschiedene Aspekte der Wertschöpfung untersucht, darunter die Relevanz des Begriffs, dessen Verständnis sowie die praktische Anwendung
