Wir untersuchen Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede partizipativer Projekte auf Gemeindeebene in der Bodenseeregion. Ziel dabei ist es, einerseits Chancen und Stolpersteine von partizipativen Projekten für Gemeinden zu identifizieren. Andererseits entwickeln wir den Resilienzbegriff aus Psychologie und BWL weiter für Gemeinden und fragen uns, wie Partizipation die Resilienz einer Gemeinde beeinflusst.
Die vorliegende Masterarbeit untersucht die Rolle des Controllings für innovative Startups in Österreich, insbesondere in der Anfangsphase. Experteninterviews wurden durchgeführt, um Einsichten in die Herausforderungen, Chancen und Best Practices des Startup-Controllings zu gewinnen. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse wurden analysiert und in Kategorien zusammengefasst, um einen umfassenden Überblick über die wichtigsten Ergebnisse zu liefern. Die Arbeit betont die Bedeutung einer effektiven Controlling-Funktion für Startups, um fundierte Entscheidungen zu treffen, die finanzielle Leistungsfähigkeit zu verbessern und das langfristige Wachstum zu unterstützen.
Integration of an industrial robot manipulator in ROS to enhance its spatial perception capabilities
(2020)
Robots without any external sensors are not capable of sensing their environment, often leading to damaging collisions. These collisions could potentially be avoided if the robot had a way to sense its environment in the first place. This thesis attempts to tackle this problem by equipping such a robot with extra sensor hardware for perceiving environmental objects. The robot used within this thesis is a KUKA LBR iiwa 7 R800. The goal is a robot capable of moving in an unseen environment without colliding with obstacles nearby.
The research covers different sensor options, robots in cramped areas as well as algorithms and simulation topics. Software platforms and libraries used for the implementation are briefly introduced.
Multiple infrared sensors are directly installed onto the robot manipulator. The extra sensors and the robot are integrated into the ROS middleware to create an application capable of sensing the robots’ environment and plan collision-free paths accordingly.
The experiments show, that the low amount of available sensor data can not map the robots’ environment with enough detail. Additional problems, such as sensor noise corrupting parts of the generated map or the robot recognizing itself as an obstacle, lead to a negative result in total. In future work, the choice of sensors shall be reconsidered and tested upfront via simulation software.
This paper gives an insight into how cybersecurity is built inside and outside banks in Austria. The research was conducted based on information received from bank representatives in Austria as well as on literature, participation in various kinds of online conferences, and so on. The main objective of this paper was to investigate the cybersecurity execution scheme and to consider the possible impact of the cultural factor on cybersecurity execution. Due to a force majeure situation like coronavirus, the author was able to obtain little information from participants, but even this helped to draw satisfactory conclusions and make recommendations to banks. Thanks to the vast amount of literature and research, confirmation of the factor under study was found, confirming the relevance of the work and the potential for further research.
Einkauf 4.0
(2020)
Traditionelle Einkaufsprozesse haben viele Fehlerquellen und ungenütztes Potential. Viele Konzepte, die meist im Zusammenhang mit Digitalisierung und Industrie 4.0 stehen, versprechen Optimierungen. Diese Vielfalt führt jedoch in der Praxis zu Unklarheiten, da fraglich ist, was tatsächlich hinter den Konzepten steckt. Insbesondere der sogenannte „Einkauf 4.0“, der mehr als eine Digitalisierung der Beschaffungsprozesse verspricht, wirft viele Fragen auf.
Das Ziel der vorliegenden Forschungsarbeit ist es festzulegen, welche Merkmale dem „Einkauf 4.0“ zugeschrieben werden können und ob sich diese in Praxis wiederfinden. Dazu werden folgende Forschungsfragen gestellt:
1. Welche Merkmale können eindeutig dem Begriff „Einkauf 4.0“ zugeordnet werden, um eine aktuell gültige Umfangsdefinition zu erstellen?
2. Werden die gefundenen Merkmale des Einkauf 4.0 in der Praxis als relevant erachtet und umgesetzt? Falls ja, welche?
Um die erste Forschungsfrage zu beantworten wurden eine qualitative und eine quantitative Inhaltsanalyse durchgeführt. Die Merkmale des Begriff Einkauf 4.0 konnten dadurch eindeutig festlegt und abgrenzt werden. Die zweite Forschungsfrage wurde beantwortet in dem ein Vergleich der gefundenen Merkmale mit der Studie „BME-Barometer Elektronische Beschaffung 2020“ des BME e. V. erfolgte.
Die Auswertung der Inhaltsanalysen zeigt, dass sich Merkmale für den Einkauf 4.0 finden lassen, diese jedoch kritisch zu hinterfragen sind. Der Vergleich der Merkmale mit der Studie des BME e.V., ergibt, dass einige Merkmale in der Praxis wiederzufinden sind; Sie sind jedoch von unterschiedlicher Relevanz. Weiterführende Forschung ausgehend von der hier formulierten Definition würden tiefere Einblicke in das Konzept des Einkauf 4.0 ermöglichen.
Scrum has been a prominent project management framework for managing software development projects. The scrum team embodies values such as commitment, focus, respect, courage, and openness to develop trust, which serves as the foundation of the scrum framework. However, in recent years, scrum teams are shifting towards a work-from-home environment which is relatively new to most of them and known to present various challenges. Looking at the benefits of adhering to scrum values, this study aims to investigate the challenges scrum teams experience in adhering to scrum values while operating virtually, as well as to explore practical strategies to overcome the identified challenges, particularly during the storming stage of team development. This research employed a qualitative methodology using semi-structured interviews with scrum team members who have experience working in a virtual environment. Through qualitative content analysis of semi-structured interviews, this research identifies significant challenges within five main categories: communication, collaboration, interpersonal dynamics, the virtual work environment, and personal workspace issues. However, beyond the challenges, the study reveals practical strategies as well for successful team dynamics and higher efficiency. The strategies derived from team members' experiences are categorized into six categories: enhanced meeting management, leveraging in-person engagements, optimizing tools & technology, effective communication strategies, team-building, and nurturing a positive work culture.
Purpose: The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to explore the of self-initiated expatriates prior to and during acculturation to life in a smaller periphery region such as Vorarlberg, Austria. By providing insights into their lived experience this research aims to fill in the gaps of missing information on motivators, success factors to adjustment, issues, and stressors, and more that SIEs experience when adjusting. Specifically, what items promote adjustment and what items hinder adjustment.
Findings: Developed a better understanding of how and what motivational factors lead to expatriation. Furthermore, that opportunities arise by chance. During acculturation, language factors (dialect), cultural differences act as stressors. While social support, and organizational support, learning of the language act as promoters of acculturation.
Further Research could be done including ethnicities, SIEs moving from developed to developing countries, adjustment in regions with dialect vs no dialect.
Key words: self-initiated expatriates, expatriation, acculturation, adjustment, promoting acculturation, hindering acculturation.
Compression of ultrashort laser pulses via gated multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scans
(2014)
The paper deals with the optimization of 2x2 optical switch for photonic integrated circuits based on two 2x2 MMI splitters and two phase-modulators. The optical switch was modelled in the RSoftCAD with the simulation tool BeamPROP. The optimization was done to minimise the insertion losses and broaden the spectral band at 1550 nm by using linear tapers in a 2x2 MMI splitter topology. The 2x2 optical switch is a common element for creating more complex 1xN or NxN optical switches in all-optical signal processing.
