In case of medical emergency situations, a Volunteer Notification System aims to alarm potential helpers who can arrive at the victim fast enough to provide cardiopulmonary resuscitation until the professional EMS arrive on scene. A simplistic solution for selecting the corresponding volunteers is described by a so called notification radius, i.e., alarming any volunteer with a geographic location that is within a maximum distance from the victim. Whilst the actual geographical distance is an important parameter to be considered, this work will illustrate that various additional decision parameters are of importance, and elaborate an AI-driven volunteer selection system to increase the reliability and efficiency of occurring notifications.

Cyber-physical systems are the next step in realizing the centuries old ubiquitous computing idea by focusing on open real-time systems design and device connectivity. Mobile ad hoc networks offer the flexible, local connectivity that cyber-physical systems require, if the connectivity can be realized dependably. One aspect of the dependability is the prediction of connectivity in the mobile ad hoc network. The presented research contributes to the connectivity prediction in mobile ad hoc networks with moving network participants in two ways: It systematically analyses the influence of scenario parameters on a set of connectivity metrics and it proposes and evaluates three classes of prediction models for these metrics.
Kleine und mittlere Speditionen des Straßengüterverkehrs sind immer stärker darauf angewiesen, die Synergieeffekte speditionsübergreifender horizontaler Kooperationen zu nutzen und mit konkurrierenden Unternehmen zusammenzuarbeiten. Hierbei wird vermehrt auf Angebote in Form von Frachtenbörsen oder Logistiknetzwerken zurückgegriffen. Im Stückgut- und Komplettladungsbereich konnten solche Lösungen bereits erheblich zur Steigerung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit kleiner und mittlerer Speditionen beitragen. Der Transport sogenannter Teilladungen stellt kleine und mittlere Speditionen allerdings bis heute noch vor erhebliche Herausforderungen. Um am Markt mit den „Big Playern“ auch im Teil...
In the mountain of books that have been written about the Third Reich, surprisingly little has been said about the role played by the German nobility in the Nazis' rise to power. While often confidently referred to, the 'fateful' role played by the German nobility is rarely, if ever, investigated in any real detail. Nazis and Nobles now fills this gap, providing the first systematic investigation of the role played by the nobility in German political life between Germany's defeat in the First World War in 1918 and the consolidation of Nazi power in the 1930s. As Stephan Malinowski shows, the German nobility was too weak to prevent the German Revolution of 1918 but strong enough to take an ac...
Societies across Europe and Central Asia are aging, but people are not necessarily living longer. This demographic trend-caused by a decrease in fertility rather than improved longevity-presents both challenges and opportunities for governments, the private sector, and individuals alike. Some of the challenges are well known. Output per capita becomes smaller if it is shared with an increasingly larger group of dependent older people. At a certain point, there may not be sufficient resources to maintain the living standards of this older group, especially if rising expenditures on health care, long-term care, and pensions must be financed through the contributions and taxes paid by ever-smal...
Uzbekistan has achieved sustained growth through its gradual transition to a market-based economy through cautious economic policy reforms. Despite its gradual approach to development challenges, the country experienced the smallest output decline among former Soviet economies and enjoyed high rates of economic growth from 2004 to 2015, largely driven by the high prices of its major export commodities. However, the drop in the global prices of many key commodities in recent years have severely impacted Uzbekistan's economy. Under these circumstances, the new government introduced major reforms. The pace of reform is unprecedented. The government has formulated its long-term economic strategy...
