In today’s dynamic environments—shaped by digital transformation, evolving provider–user interactions, and shifting societal demands—these approaches face limitations in enabling continuous, context-sensitive innovation. Continuous Value Shaping emerges as a conceptual extension to service systems engineering, promoting more adaptive and co-evolutionary forms of service system development. This study examines how Continuous Value Shaping manifests through a multiple case study of three public sector projects. We identify distinct manifestations and constellations of the concept’s principles that complement classical SSE practices. As the first empirical exploration of Continuous Value Shaping, the study refines its conceptual foundation and enhances its accessibility for researchers and practitioners. We conclude with seven empirically derived propositions that inform future service systems engineering initiatives and demonstrate how Continuous Value Shaping supports the dynamic alignment of service systems with societal and systemic demands.}}, author = {{Schäfer, Jannika Marie and Rajko, Polina and Angelova, Daniela and Böhmann, Tilo}}, booktitle = {{Proceedings of the 59th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS 2026)}}, keywords = {{Continuous Value Shaping, Service Systems Engineering, Service Science, Public Sector, Service Innovation}}, location = {{Maui, Maui, Hawaii, USA}}, publisher = {{Association for Information Systems (AIS), IEEE Computer Society Press, University of Hawaii (Manoa)}}, title = {{{From Engineering to Shaping: A Multiple Case Study on Advancing Service Systems Engineering through Continuous Value Shaping}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @inproceedings{62885, author = {{Osnabrügge, Malin and Tenberge, Claudia and Fechner, Sabine}}, keywords = {{Artificial intelligence, primary education, science and technology education}}, location = {{Norrköping, Sweden}}, title = {{{Artificial Intelligence in primary science and technology education with a focus on implementation of AI in learning context – Results of a Scoping Review}}}, year = {{2026}}, } @techreport{65021, abstract = {{Several early music projects, such as the Stanford Josquin Project, have demonstrated the potential for attaining valuable new musicological insights using a corpus-based approach. However, the available musical corpora tend to be relatively small and exhibit considerable variation in encoding practices. Aspiring corpus researchers are confronted with a lack of suitable data, which needs to be addressed before they can embark on their proper research. The EarlyMuse Short Term Scientific Mission CORSICA has surveyed the current state of corpus creation and digital editing in early music. Based on this information, it has developed a vision for the future of corpus building in this field, which aims to speed up the production of digital encodings while respecting the autonomy of the encoders and acknowledging their efforts. This is important because much high-quality encoding is carried out outside the field of professional musicology, and engaging citizen scientists could help address the current shortage of research data. The CORSICA team‘s vision is informed not only by a study of the available data, standards and technologies, but also by Human-Computer Interaction, placing human goals and values before the creation of technology and work processes. The core of the vision is that successful corpus creation must be an inclusive endeavour in terms of both technology and human participation.

Systems theory offers powerful concepts to address challenges of growing system complexity and non-systemic design approaches in information systems. Despite its systemic origins, systems theory remains a peripheral topic in IS. The study addresses this gap by introducing a comprehensive framework of 52 systems-theoretical concepts to guide the design of complex IS artifacts. We synthesize scattered systems knowledge from diverse disciplines to provide a unified level of abstraction for complex information system design. We apply the framework to a use case of business reputation systems to show how the systems lens informs the design of a novel, complex information system. We make three key contributions to the literature. First, the framework provides a common ground for interdisciplinary research in information system design. Second, it offers a unified level of abstraction grounded in systems theory that serves as a coherent basis for artifact design. Third, it demonstrates the potential of systems theory as a foundational justificatory knowledge base. Furthermore, we provide guidance on applying the framework across multiple modes of reasoning, alongside further application guidelines.

There is a strong link between trust and reputation, as the positive reputation of a consultancy can act as a substitute for a new client’s missing individual experience with the provider, fostering trust in the service quali-ty. Thus, creating, maintaining, and demonstrating a good reputation is of signifi-cant importance for consultancies in a very competitive industry. To facilitate trustworthy signals, we design and implement a novel reputation mechanism that carries a monetary weight stored on a blockchain network as an immutable, decentralized, and transparent ledger. Based on an implementation in the Ethereum network and subsequent evaluation, we conclude that the reputation mechanism can contribute to leveling information asymmetry and reducing risk while increasing reputation and trust.

The aim of this study was twofold: First, we present a re-analysis of the data from Böer et al. (Psychological Research 88:523–524, 2024) using mixture effect modelling (Miller, Behavior Research Methods 38:92–106, 2006) explore if fake-production costs manifest continuously (uniform effect) in all participants or if some participants show fake-production costs occasionally but substantially (mixed effect). Second, we collected data of a control group which was analysed with the previous data of the practice group and fitted initiation times (ITs) to an ex-Gaussian distribution. The analysis of mixture effects revealed that most participants exhibited a uniform effect when they didn’t have time to mentally prepare the movement. This pattern was not changed by practice, suggesting fake-production costs can’t be overcome by practice alone without mental preparation time. The analysis of mean ITs revealed improvements in the practice group but not in the control group, independent of the type of pass performed. The distribution analyses complemented these findings as it showed that the improvement in participants’ performance with increasing practice can mainly be attributed to a reduction of the exponential part of the distribution (parameter tau).}}, author = {{Böer, Nils Tobias and Schütz, Christoph and Weigelt, Matthias and Güldenpenning, Iris}}, issn = {{0340-0727}}, journal = {{Psychological Research}}, keywords = {{Sport Psychology, Sport Science, Deception, Distribution Analysis}}, number = {{2}}, publisher = {{Springer Science and Business Media LLC}}, title = {{{How does practice modulate fake-production costs in a basketball task?

This anisotropy compromises the mechanical properties and complicates the loading state in the implant. Moreover, the minimum requirements as specified per designated standards such as ISO 5832-11 are not met. The remedy to this problem is performing a conventional heat treatment. As this route requires energy, infrastructure, labor, and expertise, which in turn mean time and money, many of the additive manufacturing benefits are negated. Thus, the goal of this work was to achieve better isotropy by applying only adapted additive manufacturing process parameters, specifically focusing on the build orientations. In this work, samples orientated in 90°, 45°, and 0° directions relative to the building platform were manufactured and tested. These tests included mechanical (tensile and fatigue tests) as well as microstructural analyses (SEM and EBSD). Subsequently, the results of these tests such as fractography were correlated with the acquired mechanical properties. These showed that 90°-aligned samples performed best under fatigue load and that all requirements specified by the standard regarding monotonic load were met.}}, author = {{Milaege, Dennis and Eschemann, Niklas and Hoyer, Kay-Peter and Schaper, Mirko}}, issn = {{2073-4352}}, journal = {{Crystals}}, keywords = {{Inorganic Chemistry, Condensed Matter Physics, General Materials Science, General Chemical Engineering}}, number = {{2}}, publisher = {{MDPI AG}}, title = {{{Anisotropic Mechanical and Microstructural Properties of a Ti-6Al-7Nb Alloy for Biomedical Applications Manufactured via Laser Powder Bed Fusion}}}, doi = {{10.3390/cryst14020117}}, volume = {{14}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{47099, author = {{Bartels, Lara and Kesternich, Martin and Löschel, Andreas}}, issn = {{1556-5068}}, journal = {{Land Economics }}, keywords = {{General Earth and Planetary Sciences, General Environmental Science}}, title = {{{The Demand for Voluntary Carbon Dioxide Removal – Experimental Evidence from an Afforestation Project in Germany}}}, doi = {{10.2139/ssrn.3979837}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{53417, abstract = {{Abstract Remote-controlled telescopes in education provide the opportunity to obtain high quality astronomy images for a broad variety of users.
