  abstract     = {{Purpose: The purpose of this study is to identify, analyze, and explain the implications that could
arise for service settings if AI systems develop, or are perceived to develop, consciousness – the
ability to acknowledge their own existence and the capacity for positive or negative experiences.

Design/methodology/approach: This study proposes and explores four hypothetical scenarios in
which conscious AI in service could manifest. We contextualize our resulting typology in the
health service context and integrate extant literature on technology-enabled service, AI
consciousness, and AI ethics into the narrative.

Findings: This study provides a unique theoretical contribution to service research in the form of
a Type IV theory. It enables future service researchers to apprehend, explain, and predict how
functionally conscious AI in service might unfold.

Originality: An increasingly prolific public discourse acknowledges that conscious AI systems
may emerge. Against this backdrop, this study aims to systematically explore a question that is
perhaps the most critical and timely, but also inherently speculative, in relation to AI in service
research by introducing much-needed theory and terminology.

Practical implications: The ethical use of conscious AI in service could emerge as a distinct
competitive advantage in the future. Achieving this outcome involves speculative yet actionable
recommendations that include training, guiding, and controlling how humans engage with such
systems, developing appropriate wellbeing protocols for functionally conscious AI systems, and
establishing AI rights and governance frameworks.}},

A notable example of a mechatronic system is the headlamp at the front of a vehicle, which emits adaptive headlights, such as the well-known adaptive cornering lights or glare-free high beam. The rise of these and other Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) has led to a proliferation of sensor data. However, the full potential of ADAS sensor data for increasing energy efficiency has not yet been exploited in the past. This study demonstrates that utilizing the data to dynamically adapt headlights to the upcoming driving scenario leads to a substantial reduction in power consumption.

We introduce a paradigm shift using a many‐body plasmonic architecture inspired by statistical mechanics. By moving toward the continuum limit, local geometric variations are statistically averaged out, effectively decoupling optical performance from microscopic disorder. We implement this concept via a lithography‐ and etching‐free, multi‐step dewetting strategy, creating wafer‐scale nanoclusters. This process strategically forms a robust many‐body system by introducing numerous small satellite nanoparticles between larger particles. Crucially, this design achieves a high collective enhancement that surpasses even optimized few‐body systems, despite having larger individual gaps. Under optimized conditions, these substrates exhibit a surface‐enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factor approaching 4 × 10^8 with unprecedented reproducibility (RSD of ∼10%). This scalable, low‐cost concept establishes a practical route toward reproducible wafer‐scale nanophotonic platforms for sensing, spectroscopy, and quantum technologies.}},

Here, we demonstrate a hybrid nonlinear optoelectronic device that enhances the detection efficiency of a (001)-oriented GaAs PIN photodiode under telecommunication-wavelength illumination, where absorption is intrinsically limited to two-photon absorption (2PA). Our approach relies on the integration of a transferred, nanopatterned 385 nm-thick (111)-oriented GaAs nanofilm acting as an on-chip nonlinear frequency-conversion layer. Elliptical GaAs nanoresonators are employed to enhance second-harmonic generation (SHG) resonantly, converting incident 1550 nm radiation into above-bandgap photons efficiently absorbed by the underlying diode. Spatially resolved current–voltage measurements reveal a pronounced enhancement of the detector response in regions covered by the nanoantennas. The device exhibits a low dark current, while the metasurface-covered regions show the largest current response under 1560 nm excitation compared to the bare GaAs(100) diode and the unstructured GaAs(111) film. These results establish a direct functional link between dielectric metasurface–based nonlinear frequency conversion and electrical photodetection, providing a viable route toward integrated sub-bandgap detection schemes.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Investigating crack growth in sheet metal originating from clinched joints is a major part of predicting the service life of mechanically joined structures. Clinching allows different materials to be joined together. A key task in this context is to perform crack growth simulations in the vicinity of clinched joints considering different load and environmental conditions. This requires formulaic descriptions of the fatigue crack growth rate curves for the materials used. For this purpose, fatigue crack growth rate curves for different R-ratios and temperatures are determined experimentally. Generally, these fatigue crack growth rate curves can be described very well using a novel two-part exponential approach for the formulaic description of fatigue crack growth rate curves developed at Applied Mechanics of Paderborn University (FAM). In this case, three parameters are sufficient to describe the fatigue crack growth rate curves. For the material HCT590X, which is frequently used in clinched joints, it is shown as an example how the parameters vary with the R-ratio and the temperature. In addition, at high crack growth rates, a significant rise in the fatigue crack growth rate curve sometimes occurs at both low and high temperatures. To account for this feature, the two-part exponential approach can be expanded to include a third part.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{Manufacturing companies increasingly integrate the strive towards sustainability into product engineering to reduce resource consumption and environmental impacts. A substantial share of a product’s environmental performance is determined during engineering. Early assessments rely on generic data, which is gradually replaced by more concrete simulation and primary data as product maturity increases. The effective use of engineering simulation models for Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) therefore remains a central challenge under heterogeneous, distributed and rapidly evolving data. This article presents a systematic review of product engineering approaches for integrating simulation models into LCA. A seven-step research approach is applied to identify, categorize and evaluate existing approaches across CAx tools. Relevant simulation parameters for sustainability assessment, including material properties, process descriptors, consumables and waste streams, are identified and analyzed. Based on identified data characteristics, the potential of Data Science and Artificial Intelligence methods for LCA data preparation is assessed. A conceptual knowledge-graph-based decision support approach is derived to enable structured integration, traceability and reuse of simulation data for sustainability assessment. The approach is evaluated using criteria from literature. Structured integration of simulation data improves early-stage data quality and supports decision-making in sustainable product engineering.}},

  abstract     = {{Due to their devastating consequences, so-called century floods attract significant public attention and are therefore covered in nationwide media. In journalistic reporting, numerous conceptual metaphors are used to conceptualise such extreme weather events. This linguistic study investigates how the century flood that occurred in southern Germany in late May and early June 2024 was metaphorically conceptualised in nationwide online journalism by identifying patterns of metaphorical conceptualisation. The analysis draws on the foundations of Conceptual Metaphor Theory as proposed by Lakoff and Johnson (1980), refined through the graded distinction of schematicity levels in conceptual structure proposed in Kövecses (2017, 2020, 2022) Extended Conceptual Metaphor Theory. Accordingly, metaphors are understood as schematically distinguishable mappings of conceptual aspects from source to target areas, through which particular actions are constituted. Adopting a mixed-methods approach that integrates manual with (semi-)automatic analytical procedures, the study reveals that the century flood is predominantly conceptualised through the highly schematic metaphor ZEIT IST SUBSTANZ (›time is substance‹), the less schematic metaphor NATURKATASTROPHEN SIND PERSONEN (›natural disasters are persons‹), and a set of least schematic, elaborating metaphors, namely HOCHWASSER IST GEGNER (›flood is an opponent‹), HOCHWASSER IST ZERSTÖRER (›flood is a destroyer‹) and HOCHWASSER IST MÖRDER (›flood is a murderer‹). From an ecolinguistic perspective, the study critically reflects on how these metaphorical conceptualisations obscure human co-responsibility for the intensity of extreme flood events.}},

These interconnected tendencies are rooted in essentialist conceptions of culture, the depoliticisation of educational practice, and the instrumental reduction of intercultural competence to a measurable skill. Drawing on critical pedagogy and decolonial scholarship, as well as empirical studies on monolingualism, assimilationism, and institutionalised hierarchies, the article demonstrates how well-intentioned initiatives often reproduce structural power asymmetries, symbolic violence, and epistemic marginalisation. It thus advocates an intercultural education grounded in critical reflexivity, political responsibility, and a sustained commitment to epistemic and social justice. Moving beyond reductive frameworks, the article advances dialogic, participatory, and decolonising approaches that interrogate dominant norms, recognise the pluriform and situated character of knowledge, and foreground the relational dynamics of interculturality. Intercultural learning is thus reframed as an ongoing, power-conscious process of negotiating difference within structurally unequal conditions rather than as the transmission of predefined competencies.}},

Therefore, their durability is significantly shortened by the need to refinish the surface to reinstate suitable surface parameters for rolling and casting thin aluminium or other metal strips. To extend the lifetime of the rollers, a solution to repair the surface has to be found. Due to the constraints in the TRC process, most surface repair processes are not suitable, too complex (multistage heat treatment) or too expensive. Hence, high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) is a viable solution for applying a repair surface onto worn-down rollers, as this process is well-known and understood, already established in the industry, and potentially possible to integrate into the TRC process environment without disassembling the roller from the machine.</jats:p>}},
