@article{60990, abstract = {{Large Language Models (LLMs) have demonstrated remarkable performance across a wide range of natural language processing tasks. However, their effectiveness in low-resource languages remains underexplored, particularly in complex tasks such as end-to-end Entity Linking (EL), which requires both mention detection and disambiguation against a knowledge base (KB). In earlier work, we introduced IndEL — the first end-to-end EL benchmark dataset for the Indonesian language — covering both a general domain (news) and a specific domain (religious text from the Indonesian translation of the Quran), and evaluated four traditional end-to-end EL systems on this dataset. In this study, we propose ELEVATE-ID, a comprehensive evaluation framework for assessing LLM performance on end-to-end EL in Indonesian. The framework evaluates LLMs under both zero-shot and fine-tuned conditions, using multilingual and Indonesian monolingual models, with Wikidata as the target KB. Our experiments include performance benchmarking, generalization analysis across domains, and systematic error analysis. Results show that GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 achieve the highest accuracy in zero-shot and fine-tuned settings, respectively. However, even fine-tuned GPT-3.5 underperforms compared to DBpedia Spotlight — the weakest of the traditional model baselines — in the general domain. Interestingly, GPT-3.5 outperforms Babelfy in the specific domain. Generalization analysis indicates that fine-tuned GPT-3.5 adapts more effectively to cross-domain and mixed-domain scenarios. Error analysis uncovers persistent challenges that hinder LLM performance: difficulties with non-complete mentions, acronym disambiguation, and full-name recognition in formal contexts. These issues point to limitations in mention boundary detection and contextual grounding. Indonesian-pretrained LLMs, Komodo and Merak, reveal core weaknesses: template leakage and entity hallucination, respectively—underscoring architectural and training limitations in low-resource end-to-end EL.11Code and dataset are available at https://github.com/dice-group/ELEVATE-ID.}}, author = {{Gusmita, Ria Hari and Firmansyah, Asep Fajar and Zahera, Hamada Mohamed Abdelsamee and Ngonga Ngomo, Axel-Cyrille}}, issn = {{0169-023X}}, journal = {{Data & Knowledge Engineering}}, keywords = {{LLMs, Evaluation, End-to-end EL, Indonesian}}, pages = {{102504}}, title = {{{ELEVATE-ID: Extending Large Language Models for End-to-End Entity Linking Evaluation in Indonesian}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.datak.2025.102504}}, volume = {{161}}, year = {{2026}}, } @article{59511, abstract = {{AbstractTo minimize or avoid the use of antibiotics, antimicrobial polymers have emerged as a promising option to fight biomaterial‐associated infections, e.g., on titanium‐based implants. However, the challenge is to develop active polymers that exhibit an antimicrobial effect and are compatible with human cells. Different studies aiming for biocidal polymers active in soluble mode, focused on the ratio of cationic to hydrophobic groups, while only marginal knowledge is available for immobilized components. Here a strong hydrophilic electrolyte 4‐vinylbenzyltrimethylammonium chloride (TMA) is chosen as the cationic component. The block composition of the polycationic segment is modified with styrene (Sty) regarding the amphiphilic balance. To adsorb such polymers onto titanium surfaces they are equipped with a polyphosphonic acid anchor block by sequential reversible‐addition‐fragmentation chain‐transfer polymerization (RAFT) polymerization. The polymer composition affected the wetting behavior of adsorbed coatings with water contact angles ranging from 17° to 72°, while zetapotential measurements confirmed high extent of positive charges for all adsorbed polymer coatings. The fundamentally modified block composition resulted in significantly improved cytocompatibility. Antimicrobial efficacy in early bacterial adhesion is still retained from slightly antiadhesive coatings to combined antiadhesive/biocidal activity depending on Sty/TMA ratio in random polymers while a block copolymer revealed lowest antimicrobial effect.}}, author = {{Wolf‐Brandstetter, Cornelia and Methling, Rafael and Kuckling, Dirk}}, issn = {{1438-7492}}, journal = {{Macromolecular Materials and Engineering}}, keywords = {{antiadhesive surfaces, antimicrobial polymers, grafting to, polymerbrushes}}, publisher = {{Wiley}}, title = {{{Adsorbable and Antimicrobial Amphiphilic Block Copolymers with Enhanced Biocompatibility}}}, doi = {{10.1002/mame.202500078}}, year = {{2025}}, } @misc{51133, abstract = {{In order to standardize spray flame synthesis (SFS) studies, intensive work has been done in recent years on the design of burner types. Thus, in 2019, the so-called SpraySyn1 burner was introduced (SS1), which was subsequently characterized in numerical and experimental studies. Based on this research, a modification of the nozzle design was proposed, which has now been considered in the successor model, SpraySyn2 (SS2). As little is known about the effect of the nozzle adaptation on the particle formation, we operated both burners under identical operating conditions to produce maghemite. The final powder comparison showed that SS2 yielded considerable higher specific surface areas (associated with smaller primary particle sizes), lower polydispersity, and higher phase purity. To obtain further information on the size distributions of aggregates and agglomerates generated by SS2, aerosol samples were extracted by hole in a tube (HIAT) sampling and characterized by scanning mobility particle sizing (SMPS). Samples were extracted along the centerline at different heights above the burner (HAB) above the visible flame tip (>7 cm), and quenching experiments were performed to extract the aerosol samples at different dilution rates. Thereby, it was demonstrated that performing detailed quenching experiments is crucial for obtaining representative HIAT-SMPS data. In particular, agglomerates/aggregate sizes were overestimated by up to ~70 % if samples were not sufficiently diluted. If sufficient dilution was applied, distribution widths and mean particle mobility diameters were determined with high accuracy (sample standard derivation <5 %). Our data suggested the evolution of primary particle sizes was mostly completed <7 cm HAB and it was shown aggregates/agglomerates present above the visible flame were compact in structure (non- fractal). The mean diameter of the particle ensemble grew along the centerline from 6.9 nm (7 cm) to 11.4 nm (15 cm), while distribution widths grew from 1.42 to 1.52.}}, booktitle = {{Applications in Energy and Combustion Science}}, editor = {{Tischendorf, Ricardo and Massopo, Orlando and Schmid, Hans-Joachim and Pyrmak, Olek and Dupont, Sophie and Fröde, Fabian and Pitsch, Heinz and Kneer, Reinhold}}, keywords = {{Flame Spray Pyrolysis, SpraySyn2, Spray flame synthesis, Maghemite nanoparticles, Gas to particle-conversion, Hole in a tube sampling}}, publisher = {{Elsevier}}, title = {{{Maghemite nanoparticles synthesis via spray flame synthesis and particle characterization by hole in a tube sampling and scanning mobility particle sizing (HIAT-SMPS)}}}, doi = {{https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jaecs.2023.100235}}, year = {{2024}}, } @article{53200, abstract = {{Customer misbehavior poses a major risk in the sharing economy.

Therefore, this study investigated the effects of host–guest interaction modes (face-to-face, online-only) and frequency on guests’ misbehavior concealment intentions. Social identification and irritation emerged as bright- and dark side mediators, respectively. Guests who interacted face-to-face (vs. online-only) with hosts exhibited weaker intentions to conceal their misbehavior due to increased social identification. Platforms can elicit social identification by engaging guests in virtual communities.

Our results indicate that, in tendency, the factor allocation is more severely distorted by FA when the profit shifting possibilities were rather low under SA. In contrast to former studies, we highlight the importance of analyzing the status quo under the recently applied system (SA) in order to be able to assess the consequences of a switch from SA to FA.
