This market research paper has been prepared under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Veit of TH Köln and Prof. Dr. Carol Scovotti of University of Wisconsin-Whitewater in the course of the inter-university cross-border collaboration student research project “Export Opportunity Surveys (EOS)”. This study explores organic canned tomatoes export opportunities to the German and US markets.
Der digitale Schwarzmarkt mit gestohlenen Daten floriert. Alleine im Jahr 2015 wurden über eine halbe Milliarde Datensätze aus Datenbanksystemen entwendet. Viele Unternehmen bemerken den Sicherheitsvorfall selbst nicht oder geben aus Angst vor einem Imageschaden den Vorfall nicht bekannt. Sind die Datenbestände nicht durch effektive Sicherheitsmechanismen vor Datendiebstahl geschützt, können Cyberkriminelle leicht aus den gestohlenen Daten Kapital schlagen. Die Softwarehersteller von Datenbanksystemen bieten für ihre Produkte unterschiedliche Schutzvorkehrungen an. Ziel dieser Ausarbeitung ist es, die Bedrohungen und die Sicherheitsrisiken von Datenbanksystemen aufzuzeigen und daraus die Aspekte der Datenbanksicherheit abzuleiten. Die ausgearbeiteten Sicherheitsaspekte bilden die Grundlage für den Vergleich der Datenbanksicherheit von relationalen Datenbanklösungen. Die anschließende Bewertung dient dem Nachweis und der Überprüfbarkeit der Datenbanksicherheit relationaler Datenbanksysteme.
Intelligent use of energy is one of the keys to success for an energy revolution. To meet this challenge, smart meters are suitable tools because INTELLIGENT use of energy means not only to use efficiency technology, but also to determine load shifting potentials and use them accordingly. Especially farms with high power consumption are becoming increasingly concerned about reducing energy costs due to rising energy prices and need a systematic analysis of their operational energy flow. To find solutions for farms, the NaRoTec e.V., the TH Köln, and the Machinery Ring Höxter-Warburg have joined forces with partners and launched the project "Intelligent Energy in Agriculture", which is funded by the state of NRW. The aim of the project is to be able to give individual advice recommendations for energy optimization of agricultural holdings. This will be achieved inter alia through an operational energy audit and current measurements in different operating ranges. To achieve this, smart meters were installed in selected energy-intensive dairy and pig farms. As part of the project, the installed smart meter information about the consumption of various plants and their components were analyzed, regularities and adaptability in loading history identified, and the energy efficiency of the equipment and systems used verified (especially pumps, ventilators, feeding systems). Then recommendations were formulated to shift electricity-intensive processes to times with low electricity costs and high intrinsic power production. The resulting findings will be used as the basis for intelligent energy management in the further course of the project. Overall, efficiency streamlining measures in the field of ventilation and lighting systems, flexible dry feeding systems by decoupling power purchase and consumption, as well as energy savings and related CO2 savings were determined.
M&A-Transaktionen werden selten so erfolgreich, wie sie geplant wurden. Dies wirft immer wieder die Frage auf, ob die Entscheidung für die Transaktion eine „gute“, d. h. rationale Entscheidung war und ob der Prozess auf optimale Weise geführt wurde. Im Rahmen der Studie wurden Experten aus 24 DAX-30-Unternehmen zum Thema „Rationalität und Irrationalität im M&A-Prozess“ befragt. Wunsch und Wirklichkeit fallen demnach deutlich auseinander und gerade Faktoren, die die Rationalität in einem Prozess erhöhen sollen, können diese in eine ungewollte Richtung treiben: Wachstumsstrategie, Anreizsysteme, Gremienentscheidungen, Bewertungsmodelle, auch Eigeninteressen der Akteure und Emotionen spielen eine große Rolle. Die Experten bestätigen insbesondere die hohe Relevanz verhaltenstheoretischer Phänomene wie den Planungsfehlschluss, den Herdeneffekt, oder die Selbstüberschätzung im M&A-Prozess.

The rising worldwide energy demand leads to the depletion of fossil fuels reserves and at the same time, it increases the environmental impact caused by emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG).
Utilization of fossil fuels causes not only climate change impacts such as global warming, but also many other environmental problems such as water and soil contamination that pose potential risks to human and animal health.
Furthermore, increasing population growth leads to increased food demand and consumption. This upward trend creates competition between food and bioenergy markets. Hence, the so‐called “food or fuel” discussion is back.
Challenges to counteract deciding between food and fuel that focus on the need to produce sustainable energy, while protecting environment, are the keys to replacing fossil fuels and lowering their greenhouse gas emissions. For this purpose, a completely new strategy with a proper sustainable system to supplying world’s energy demand must be found.
When it comes to web applications and their dynamic content, one seemingly common trouble area is that of layouts. Frequently, web designers resort to frameworks or JavaScript-based solutions to achieve various layouts where the capabilities of Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) fall short. Although the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) is attempting to address the demand for more robust and concise layout solutions to handle dynamic content with the recent and upcoming specifications, a generic approach to creating layouts using constraint syntax has been proposed and implementations have been created. Yet, the introduction of constraint syntax would change the CSS paradigm in a fundamental way, demanding further analysis to determine the viability of its inclusion in core web standards. This thesis focuses on one particular aspect of the introduction of constraint syntax: how intuitive constraint syntax will be for designers. To this end, an experiment is performed involving participants thinking aloud while reading code snippets. Also, cursor movements are recorded as a proxy for eye movement over the code snippets. The results indicate that, upon first-impression, constraint syntax within CSS is not intuitive for designers.
This thesis focuses on the identification of influential users, also known as key opinion leaders, within the social network Instagram. Instagram is a very popular platform to share images with the option to categorise the images by certain tags. It is possible to collect public data from Instagram via the open API of the platform.
This thesis presents a concept to create an automated crawler for this API and col- lect data into a database in order to apply algorithms from graph theory to identify opinion leaders afterwards. The sample topic for this thesis has been veganfood and all associated posts from Instagram have been crawled.
After the user data has been crawled a graph has been created to do further research with common social network analysis tools. The graph contained a total set of more than 26,000 nodes.
To identify opinion leaders from this graph, five di↵erent metrics have been applied, in particular PageRank, Betweenness centrality, Closeness Centrality, Degree and Eigen- vector centrality. After applying the di↵erent algorithms the results have been eval- uated and additionally an marketing expert with focus on social media analysed the results.
This project was able to figured out that it is possible to find opinion leaders by using the PageRank algorithm and that those opinion leaders have a very good value of en- gagement. This indicates that they show a high interaction with other users on their posts. In conclusion the additional research options are discussed to provide a future outlook.
