text: The development of automotive components with reduced greenhouse gas
(GHG) emissions is needed to reduce overall vehicle emissions. Life Cycle Engineering
(LCE) based on Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) supports this by providing holistic
information and improvement potentials regarding eco-efficient products. Key factors
influencing LCAs of automotive components, such as material production, will change
in the future. First approaches for integrating future scenarios for these key
factors into LCE already exist, but they only consider a limited number of parameters
and scenarios. This work aims to develop a method that can be practically applied
in the industry for integrating prospective LCAs (pLCA) into the LCE of automotive
components, considering relevant parameters and consistent scenarios. Therefore,
pLCA methods are further developed to investigate the influence of future scenarios
on the GHG emissions of automotive components. The practical application is demonstrated
for a vehicle component with different design options. This paper shows that different
development paths of the foreground and background system can shift the ecological
optimum of design alternatives. Therefore, future pathways of relevant parameters
must be considered comprehensively to reduce GHG emissions of future vehicles.
This work contributes to the methodological and practical integration of pLCA
into automotive development processes and provides quantitative results.

text: Since her debut on Instagram in 2016, Lil Miquela has amassed over 3 million
followers. She was the first of many virtual influencers; avatars with a hyper-realistic
humanoid appearance who operate on social media. This article investigates how
the fashioning of virtual influencers informs the relationship between virtual
and human bodies. A visual and textual analysis of virtual influencers on Instagram
has revealed that they are emblematic of a coalescence between the virtual and
the actual. Virtual influencers often evoke discussions about human nature because
their cyberpunk narratives and uncanny appearance position them as autonomous
posthuman subjects. Virtual influencers are positioned as Bodies without Organs,
as their bodies can be manipulated into any form. Yet, they adhere to normative
ideals of youth, slimness and beauty, encouraging their audiences to follow suit.
Their fashion reflects the streetwear aesthetic but is often designed by luxury
brands. This strategy positions virtual influencers as authentic, while generating
visibility within the attention economy. Further, the Deleuzian concept of the
fold serves as a metaphor to understand fashion as an interface between surface
and depth. It is fashion in its folded form that hominizes virtual influencers,
although they are merely a fashionable surface.
