The paper is devoted to solving a problem of the development of the website of Russian municipal policlinics and provides a selection of a set of elements which should be posted on a website. Such elements are necessary to provide citizens with correct and ergonomic e-services. The insufficient development of an infrastructure of institutions of public and municipal administration (particularly, healthcare institutions) in Russia made it necessary to analyze webresources used in different countries at different levels of providing medical services. The information resources of medical treatment facilities of the United Kingdom, of the United Statesrnof America and of the Federal Republic of Germany were researched separately for three existing economic models of healthcare. A set of criteria for the assessment of medical webresources was developed.
Öffentliche elektronische Beschaffung (eProcurement), bzw. strategischer elektronischer Einkauf (eSourcing), sind mit hoher Wahrscheinlichkeit Thema sobald eGovernment Experten aufeinander treffen. So ist es nicht überraschend, dass eProcurement im aktuellen Aktionsplan der EU als "high-impact service" eingestuft wurde. Dies lässt sich zum Großteil durch den großen Einfluss vom öffentlichen Einkauf auf die Staatskasse erklären. So macht eProcurement in der Regel bis zu 20% des BIP aus und beherbergt somit ein enormes Einsparpotenzial. Dieses Potenzial liegt zum Teil im gemeinsamen Europäischen Wirtschaftsraum, da effizientes länderübergreifendes eSourcing neue Möglichkeiten für Einkäufer sowie Lieferanten eröffnen kann. Um diese Möglichkeiten ausschöpfen zu können, müssen Prozesse und Tools in der Lage sein, miteinander zu kommunizieren, sich aufeinander abzustimmen oder transferierbar sein. In einem Wort, sie müssen interoperabel sein. In vielen wichtigen Bereichen ist Interoperabilität sehr weit fortgeschritten, in anderen hingegen muss noch viel verändert werden. Daher ist es von wesentlicher Bedeutung Interoperabilitätsanforderungen zu definieren, sowie den aktuellen Forschungs- und Entwicklungsstand zu evaluieren.
The first group that was revised within my study is Ochralea Clark, 1865 (Hazmi & Wagner 2010a). I have checked the type specimen of most species that were originally described in Ochralea and there is no doubt that this genus is clearly distinct from Monolepta. Weise (1924) has synonymised Galeruca nigripes (Olivier, 1808) with O. nigricornis Clark, 1865 and the valid name of the species is O. nigripes (Olivier, 1808). Out of ten species originally described in this genus, only this species remain valid and O. pectoralis is a new synonym of O. nigripes. Additionally, Monolepta wangkliana Mohamedsaid, 2000 is very closely related to O. nigripes and need to be transferred to Ochralea. The second genus where the revision is still published is Arcastes Baly, 1865 (Hazmi & Wagner 2010b). I have checked the genitalic characters of A. biplagiata, and most of the type species of other Arcastes. Arcastes biplagiata possesses a peculiar shape of the median lobe and asymmetrically arranged endophallic structures. These peculiar characters are very useful to delimit this genus from the others. Therefore, only three valid species remain in Arcastes, while two new synonyms are found and fourrnother species need to be transferred to other genera. While checking the genitalic characteristics of type species of Arcastes sanguinea, thernmedian lobe as well as the spermatheca of this species possesses strong differences to A. biplagiata. The species was redescribed and transferred in a monotypic new genus Rubrarcastes Hazmi & Wagner, 2010c. The fourth genus that was already revised is Neolepta Jacoby, 1884. It was originally described on base of only two species by that time, N. biplagiata and N. fulvipennis. Jacoby has not designated a type species of the genus, and Maulik (1936) did it later, with the designation of N. biplagiata. Jacoby in his original description has only commented that Neolepta is very close and similar to Monolepta Chevrolat, 1837 and Candezea Chapuis, 1879. Subsequent authors have described further eight species, and transferred one species from Luperodes to it, summing up the total number of eleven described species in Neolepta. I have checked the genitalic characters of the type, N. biplagiata and have found out that the median lobe is not incised apically and stronger sclerotised ventral carinae with an apical hook close to the apex occur. Out of all described species, only two are closely related to the genero-type, N. sumatrensis (Jacoby, 1884) new combination and N. quadriplagiata Jacoby, 1886 that will remain in this group after the revision. All other species need to be transferred to other genera, including the newly described Paraneolepta and Orthoneolepta. The last distinct paper of this thesis presented the results on Monolepta Chevrolat, 1837. The massive number of Monolepta from the entire Oriental Region, with about 260 described species names is a more long-life project and not practicable within a PhD-study. Thus I have focused on the species of Monolepta known from the Sundaland area in this work. A comprehensive revision including the study of the primary types of the described species, has never been done for Monolepta from this sub-region, while new species have also been described in the last decade (e. g. Mohamedsaid 1993, 1997, 1998, 1999, 2000a,b, 2001, 2002, 2005).
On base of the most current species lists of Mohamedsaid (2001, 2004, 2005) and Kimoto (1990), the number of valid species described from this region is about 72. After my revision, only thirteen valid species can remain in Monolepta in the sense of the generotype M. bioculata (Wagner 2007), while seven species have been found as new synonyms, three have been already transferred to other genera and further 49 species need to be transferred to other genera.
Five personality traits commonly known as the “Big Five” have been widely acknowledged as universal. But most available psychological instruments are not necessarily transferable to other cultures. They are referred to as “W.E.I.R.D.” (western, educated, industrial, rich, democratic) and lack the combined emic-etic approach that is necessary for a transcultural perspective. This intercontinental congress brings experts from Kenya and Germany together – thinking out of the box and collecting ideas for a scientific based partnership of East Africa and Europe. Main topics are psychological constructs that prove relevant for Human Resources Management. The Five-Factor Model, core self-evaluations, coping processes and acculturation as well as globalization effects and gender issues are discussed.

Statistical Shape Models (SSMs) are one of the most successful tools in 3Dimage analysis and especially medical image segmentation. By modeling the variability of a population of training shapes, the statistical information inherent in such data are used for automatic interpretation of new images. However, building a high-quality SSM requires manually generated ground truth data from clinical experts. Unfortunately, the acquisition of such data is a time-consuming, error-prone and subjective process. Due to this effort, the majority of SSMs is often based on a limited set of this ground truth training data, which makes the models less statistically meaningful. On the other hand, image data itself is abundant in clinics from daily routine. In this work, methods for automatically constructing a reliable SSM without the need of manual image interpretation from experts are proposed. Thus, the training data is assumed to be the result of any segmentation algorithm or may originate from other sources, e.g. non-expert manual delineations. Depending on the algorithm, the output segmentations will contain errors to a higher or lower degree. In order to account for these errors, areas of low probability of being a boundary should be excluded from the training of the SSM. Therefore, the probabilities are estimated with the help of image-based approaches. By including many shape variations, the corrupted parts can be statistically reconstructed. Two approaches for reconstruction are proposed - an Imputation method and Weighted Robust Principal Component Analysis (WRPCA). This allows the inclusion of many data sets from clinical routine, covering a lot more variations of shape examples. To assess the quality of the models, which are robust against erroneous training shapes, an evaluation compares the generalization and specificity ability to a model build from ground truth data. The results show, that especially WRPCA is a powerful tool to handle corrupted parts and yields to reasonable models, which have a higher quality than the initial segmentations.
The increasing, anthropogenic demand for chemicals has created large environmental problems with repercussions for the health of the environment, especially aquatic ecosystems. As a result, the awareness of the public and decision makers on the risks from chemical pollution has increased over the past half-century, prompting a large number of studies in the field of ecological toxicology (ecotoxicology). However, the majority of ecotoxicological studies are laboratory based, and the few studies extrapolating toxicological effects in the field are limited to local and regional levels. Chemical risk assessment on large spatial scales remains largely unexplored, and therefore, the potential large-scale effects of chemicals may be overlooked.
To answer ecotoxicological questions, multidisciplinary approaches that transcend classical chemical and toxicological concepts are required. For instance, the current models for toxicity predictions - which are mainly based on the prediction of toxicity for a single compound and species - can be expanded to simultaneously predict the toxicity for different species and compounds. This can be done by integrating chemical concepts such as the physicochemical properties of the compounds with evolutionary concepts such as the similarity of species. This thesis introduces new, multidisciplinary tools for chemical risk assessments, and presents for the first time a chemical risk assessment on the continental scale.
After a brief introduction of the main concepts and objectives of the studies, this thesis starts by presenting a new method for assessing the physiological sensitivity of macroinvertebrate species to heavy metals (Chapter 2). To compare the sensitivity of species to different heavy metals, toxicity data were standardized to account for the different laboratory conditions. These rankings were not significantly different for different heavy metals, allowing the aggregation of physiological sensitivity into a single ranking.
Furthermore, the toxicological data for macroinvertebrates were used as input data to develop and validate prediction models for heavy metal toxicity, which are currently lacking for a wide array of species (Chapter 3). Apart from the toxicity data, the phylogenetic information of species (evolutionary relationships among species) and the physicochemical parameters for heavy metals were used. The constructed models had a good explanatory power for the acute sensitivity of species to heavy metals with the majority of the explained variance attributed to phylogeny. Therefore, the integration of evolutionary concepts (relatedness and similarity of species) with the chemical parameters used in ecotoxicology improved prediction models for species lacking experimental toxicity data. The ultimate goal of the prediction models developed in this thesis is to provide accurate predictions of toxicity for a wide range of species and chemicals, which is a crucial prerequisite for conducting chemical risk assessment.
The latter was conducted for the first time on the continental scale (Chapter 4), by making use of a dataset of 4,000 sites distributed throughout 27 European countries and 91 respective river basins. Organic chemicals were likely to exert acute risks for one in seven sites analyzed, while chronic risk was prominent for almost half of the sites. The calculated risks are potentially underestimated by the limited number of chemicals that are routinely analyzed in monitoring programmes, and a series of other uncertainties related with the limit of quantification, the presence of mixtures, or the potential for sublethal effects not covered by direct toxicity.
Furthermore, chemical risk was related to agricultural and urban areas in the upstream catchments. The analysis of ecological data indicated chemical impacts on the ecological status of the river systems; however, it is difficult to discriminate the effects of chemical pollution from other stressors that river systems are exposed to. To test the hypothesis of multiple stressors, and investigate the relative importance of organic toxicants, a dataset for German streams is used in chapter 5. In that study, the risk from abiotic (habitat degradation, organic chemicals, and nutrients enrichment) and biotic stressors (invasive species) was investigated. The results indicated that more than one stressor influenced almost all sites. Stream size and ecoregions influenced the distribution of risks, e.g., the risks for habitat degradation, organic chemicals and invasive species increased with the stream size; whereas organic chemicals and nutrients were more likely to influence lowland streams. In order to successfully mitigate the effects of pollutants in river systems, co-occurrence of stressors has to be considered. Overall, to successfully apply integrated water management strategies, a framework involving multiple environmental stressors on large spatial scales is necessary. Furthermore, to properly address the current research needs in ecotoxicology, a multidisciplinary approach is necessary which integrates fields such as, toxicology, ecology, chemistry and evolutionary biology.
Das Internet der Dinge (IoT) ist ein Konzept, bestehend aus vernetzten physischen Objekten, welche in die virtuelle Welt integriert werden um aktive Teilnehmer von Geschäfts- und Alltagsprozessen zu werden (Uckelmann, Harrison and Michahelles, 2011; Shrouf, Ordieres and Miragliotta, 2014). Es wird erwartet, dass dieses Konzept einen großen Einfluss auf Unternehmen haben wird (Council, Nic and Intelligence, 2008). Geschäftsmodelle kleiner und mittelständischer Unternehmen (KMU) sind bedroht, sollten sie den sich abzeichnenden Trend nutzen (Sommer, 2015). Daher ist das Ziel dieser Arbeit, eine exemplarische Implementierung von vernetzten Geräten in einem kleinen Unternehmen um seine Vorteile darzustellen.

Der Hauptbeitrag dieser Arbeit ist die beispielhafte Anwendung und Nutzung von IoT in einem kleinen Unternehmen.
Although most plastic pollution originates on land, current research largely remains focused on aquatic ecosystems. Studies pioneering terrestrial microplastic research have adapted analytical methods from aquatic research without acknowledging the complex nature of soil. Meanwhile, novel methods have been developed and further refined. However, methodical inconsistencies still challenge a comprehensive understanding of microplastic occurrence and fate in and on soil. This review aims to disentangle the variety of state-of-the-art sample preparation techniques for heterogeneous solid matrices to identify and discuss best-practice methods for soil-focused microplastic analyses. We show that soil sampling, homogenization, and aggregate dispersion are often neglected or incompletely documented. Microplastic preconcentration is typically performed by separating inorganic soil constituents with high-density salt solutions. Not yet standardized but currently most used separation setups involve overflowing beakers to retrieve supernatant plastics, although closed-design separation funnels probably reduce the risk of contamination. Fenton reagent may be particularly useful to digest soil organic matter if suspected to interfere with subsequent microplastic quantification. A promising new approach is extraction of target polymers with organic solvents. However, insufficiently characterized soils still impede an informed decision on optimal sample preparation. Further research and method development thus requires thorough validation and quality control with well-characterized matrices to enable robust routine analyses for terrestrial microplastics.
Binnengewässer spielen eine aktive Rolle im globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf. Sie nehmen Kohlenstoff von stromaufwärts gelegenen Landmassen auf und transportieren ihn stromabwärts, bis er schließlich den Ozean erreicht. Auf diesem Weg sind vielfältige Prozesse zu beobachten, die zu einer (dauerhaften) Rückhaltung des Kohlenstoffs durch Einlagerung in Sedimenten sowie zu direkter Emission in die Atmosphäre führen. Es ist dringend notwendig diese Kohlenstoffflüsse und ihre anthropogene Veränderung zu quantifizieren. In diesem Zusammenhang muss die Aufmerksamkeit auf ein weit verbreitetes Merkmal von Gewässern gerichtet werden: ihre teilweise Austrocknung. Dies führt dazu, dass ehemals überschwemmte Sedimente in direkten Kontakt mit der Atmosphäre gelangen, genannt „dry inland waters“. Ein Merkmal der „dry inland waters“ sind überproportional hohe Kohlendioxid (CO2)-Emissionen. Diese Erkenntnis beruhte jedoch bisher auf lokalen Fallstudien, und es fehlt an Wissen über die globale Verbreitung und die grundlegenden Mechanismen dieser Emissionen. Vor diesem Hintergrund zielt diese Arbeit darauf ab, das Ausmaß und die Mechanismen der Kohlenstoffemissionen der „dry inland waters“ auf globaler und lokaler Ebene besser zu verstehen und die Auswirkungen von „dry inland waters“ auf den globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf zu bewerten. Die spezifischen Forschungsfragen dieser Arbeit lauteten: (1) Wie fügen sich gasförmige Kohlenstoffemissionen von „dry inland waters“ in den globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf und in die globalen Treibhausgasbudgets ein? (2) Welche Auswirkungen haben saisonale und langfristige Austrocknung auf den Kohlenstoffkreislauf von Gewässern? Diese Arbeit hat gezeigt, dass „dry inland waters“im globalen Maßstab unverhältnismäßig große Mengen an CO2 emittieren und dass diese Emissionen in allen Ökosystemen vergleichbaren Mechanismen folgen. Die Quantifizierung der globalen Wasserstandsschwankungen in Stauseen und die globale Berechnung der Kohlenstoffflüsse legen nahe, dass Stauseen mehr Kohlenstoff freisetzen als sie in den Sedimenten einlagern, was das derzeitige Verständnis von Stauseen als Nettokohlenstoffsenken in Frage stellt. Auf lokaler Ebene hat diese Arbeit gezeigt, dass sowohl die heterogenen Emissionsmuster verschiedener typischer Uferbereiche als auch die saisonalen Schwankungen der Kohlenstoffemissionen aus der „drawdown area“ berücksichtigt werden müssen. Darüber hinaus hat diese Arbeit gezeigt, dass die Remobilisierung von Kohlenstoff aus den Sedimenten bei dauerhafter Austrocknung von Gewässern die beobachteten Emissionsraten erklären kann, was die Hypothese einer positiven Rückkopplung zwischen Klimawandel und der Austrocknung von Gewässern unterstützt. Insgesamt unterstreicht die vorliegende Arbeit die Bedeutung der Emissionen aus trockenen Gewässerbereichen für den globalen Kohlenstoffkreislauf von Gewässern.
Confidentiality, integrity, and availability are often listed as the three major requirements for achieving data security and are collectively referred to as the C-I-A triad. Confidentiality of data restricts the data access to authorized parties only, integrity means that the data can only be modified by authorized parties, and availability states that the data must always be accessible when requested. Although these requirements are relevant for any computer system, they are especially important in open and distributed networks. Such networks are able to store large amounts of data without having a single entity in control of ensuring the data's security. The Semantic Web applies to these characteristics as well as it aims at creating a global and decentralized network of machine-readable data. Ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of this data is therefore also important and must be achieved by corresponding security mechanisms. However, the current reference architecture of the Semantic Web does not define any particular security mechanism yet which implements these requirements. Instead, it only contains a rather abstract representation of security.
This thesis fills this gap by introducing three different security mechanisms for each of the identified security requirements confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Semantic Web data. The mechanisms are not restricted to the very basics of implementing each of the requirements and provide additional features as well. Confidentiality is usually achieved with data encryption. This thesis not only provides an approach for encrypting Semantic Web data, it also allows to search in the resulting ciphertext data without decrypting it first. Integrity of data is typically implemented with digital signatures. Instead of defining a single signature algorithm, this thesis defines a formal framework for signing arbitrary Semantic Web graphs which can be configured with various algorithms to achieve different features. Availability is generally supported by redundant data storage. This thesis expands the classical definition of availability to compliant availability which means that data must only be available as long as the access request complies with a set of predefined policies. This requirement is implemented with a modular and extensible policy language for regulating information flow control. This thesis presents each of these three security mechanisms in detail, evaluates them against a set of requirements, and compares them with the state of the art and related work.
Distanzvektor-Routing-Protokolle sind Interior-Gateway-Protokolle, bei denen jeder Router anhand der Informationen, die er von seinen Nachbarn erhält, eine Routingtabelle mit den kürzesten Wegen und dazugehörigen Kosten zu allen anderen Routern des Netzwerks aufbaut. Distanzvektor-Routing-Protokolle sehen jedoch nur unzureichende Mechanismen vor, um die Sicherheit ihrer Operationen zu gewährleisten. Es wird vielmehr einfach davon ausgegangen, dass die Umgebung vertrauenswürdig ist. Router können sich aber aus verschiedenen Gründen böswillig verhalten und falsche Routingupdates einschleusen um das Routing zu manipulieren. Authentizität und Integrität der übermittelten Routinginformationen müssen daher sichergestellt werden; dabei soll eine Balance zwischen Nutzen und Performance gefunden werden.
Diese Arbeit untersucht verschiedene Lösungsansätze, die sich die Erfüllung dieser Anforderungen zum Ziel gesetzt haben, und stellt deren Vor- und Nachteile einander gegenüber.
This paper describes the development of security requirements for non-political Internet voting. The practical background is our experience with the Internet voting within the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI - Informatics Society) 2004 and 2005. The theoretical background is the international state-of-the-art of requirements about electronic voting, especially in the US and in Europe. A focus of this paper is on the user community driven standardization of security requirements by means of a Protection Profile of the international Common Criteria standard.
This paper presents a method for the evolution of SHI ABoxes which is based on a compilation technique of the knowledge base. For this the ABox is regarded as an interpretation of the TBox which is close to a model. It is shown, that the ABox can be used for a semantically guided transformation resulting in an equisatisfiable knowledge base. We use the result of this transformation to effciently delete assertions from the ABox. Furthermore, insertion of assertions as well as repair of inconsistent ABoxes is addressed. For the computation of the necessary actions for deletion, insertion and repair, the E-KRHyper theorem prover is used.
Semantische Daten zusammen mit General-Purpose-Programmiersprachen zu verwenden stellt nicht die einheitlichen Eigenschaften bereit, die man für eine solche Verwendung haben möchte. Die statische Fehlererkennung ist mangelhaft, insbesondere der statischen Typisierung anbetreffend. Basierend auf vorangegangener Arbeit an λ-DL, welches semantische Queries und Konzepte als Datentypen in ein typisiertes λ-Kalkül integriert, bringt dieses Werk dessen Ideen einen Schritt weiter, um es in eine Echtwelt-Programmiersprache zu integrieren. Diese Arbeit untersucht, wie λ-DLs Features erweitert und mit einer existierende Sprache vereinigt werden können, erforscht einen passenden Erweiterungsmechanismus und produziert Semantics4J, eine JastAdd-basierte Java-Sprachintegration für semantische Daten für typsichere OWL-Programmierung, zusammen mit Beispielen für ihre Verwendung.
In scientific data visualization huge amounts of data are generated, which implies the task of analyzing these in an efficient way. This includes the reliable detection of important parts and a low expenditure of time and effort. This is especially important for the big-sized seismic volume datasets, that are required for the exploration of oil and gas deposits. Since the generated data is complex and a manual analysis is very time-intensive, a semi-automatic approach could on one hand reduce the time required for the analysis and on the other hand offer more flexibility, than a fully automatic approach.
This master's thesis introduces an algorithm, which is capable of locating regions of interest in seismic volume data automatically by detecting anomalies in local histograms. Furthermore the results are visualized and a variety of tools for the exploration and interpretation of the detected regions are developed. The approach is evaluated by experiments with synthetic data and in interviews with domain experts on the basis of real-world data. Conclusively further improvements to integrate the algorithm into the seismic interpretation workflow are suggested.
