    With the increased threat of ransomware and the substantial growth of the Internet of Things (IoT) market, there is significant motivation for attackers to carry out IoT-based ransomware campaigns. In this thesis, the viability of such malware is tested. As part of this work, various techniques that could be used by ransomware developers to attack commercial IoT devices were explored. First, methods that attackers could use to communicate with the victim were examined, such that a ransom note was able to be reliably sent to a victim. Next, the viability of using "bricking" as a method of ransom was evaluated, such that devices could be remotely disabled unless the victim makes a payment to the attacker. Research was then performed to ascertain whether it was possible to remotely gain persistence on IoT devices, which would improve the efficacy of existing ransomware methods, and provide opportunities for more advanced ransomware to be created. Finally, after successfully identifying a number of persistence techniques, the viability of privacy-invasion based ransomware was analysed. For each assessed technique, proofs of concept were developed. A range of devices -- with various intended purposes, such as routers, cameras and phones -- were used to test the viability of these proofs of concept. To test communication hijacking, devices' "channels of communication" -- such as web services and embedded screens -- were identified, then hijacked to display custom ransom notes. During the analysis of bricking-based ransomware, a working proof of concept was created, which was then able to remotely brick five IoT devices. After analysing the storage design of an assortment of IoT devices, six different persistence techniques were identified, which were then successfully tested on four devices, such that malicious filesystem modifications would be retained after the device was rebooted. When researching privacy-invasion based ransomware, several methods were created to extract information from data sources that can be commonly found on IoT devices, such as nearby WiFi signals, images from cameras, or audio from microphones. These were successfully implemented in a test environment such that ransomable data could be extracted, processed, and stored for later use to blackmail the victim. Overall, IoT-based ransomware has not only been shown to be viable but also highly damaging to both IoT devices and their users. While the use of IoT-ransomware is still very uncommon "in the wild", the techniques demonstrated within this work highlight an urgent need to improve the security of IoT devices to avoid the risk of IoT-based ransomware causing havoc in our society. Finally, during the development of these proofs of concept, a number of potential countermeasures were identified, which can be used to limit the effectiveness of the attacking techniques discovered in this PhD research

    One Small Step for Generative AI, One Giant Leap for AGI: A Complete Survey on ChatGPT in AIGC Era

    Full text link
    OpenAI has recently released GPT-4 (a.k.a. ChatGPT plus), which is demonstrated to be one small step for generative AI (GAI), but one giant leap for artificial general intelligence (AGI). Since its official release in November 2022, ChatGPT has quickly attracted numerous users with extensive media coverage. Such unprecedented attention has also motivated numerous researchers to investigate ChatGPT from various aspects. According to Google scholar, there are more than 500 articles with ChatGPT in their titles or mentioning it in their abstracts. Considering this, a review is urgently needed, and our work fills this gap. Overall, this work is the first to survey ChatGPT with a comprehensive review of its underlying technology, applications, and challenges. Moreover, we present an outlook on how ChatGPT might evolve to realize general-purpose AIGC (a.k.a. AI-generated content), which will be a significant milestone for the development of AGI.Comment: A Survey on ChatGPT and GPT-4, 29 pages. Feedback is appreciated ([email protected]

    Technical Dimensions of Programming Systems

    Programming requires much more than just writing code in a programming language. It is usually done in the context of a stateful environment, by interacting with a system through a graphical user interface. Yet, this wide space of possibilities lacks a common structure for navigation. Work on programming systems fails to form a coherent body of research, making it hard to improve on past work and advance the state of the art. In computer science, much has been said and done to allow comparison of programming languages, yet no similar theory exists for programming systems; we believe that programming systems deserve a theory too. We present a framework of technical dimensions which capture the underlying characteristics of programming systems and provide a means for conceptualizing and comparing them. We identify technical dimensions by examining past influential programming systems and reviewing their design principles, technical capabilities, and styles of user interaction. Technical dimensions capture characteristics that may be studied, compared and advanced independently. This makes it possible to talk about programming systems in a way that can be shared and constructively debated rather than relying solely on personal impressions. Our framework is derived using a qualitative analysis of past programming systems. We outline two concrete ways of using our framework. First, we show how it can analyze a recently developed novel programming system. Then, we use it to identify an interesting unexplored point in the design space of programming systems. Much research effort focuses on building programming systems that are easier to use, accessible to non-experts, moldable and/or powerful, but such efforts are disconnected. They are informal, guided by the personal vision of their authors and thus are only evaluable and comparable on the basis of individual experience using them. By providing foundations for more systematic research, we can help programming systems researchers to stand, at last, on the shoulders of giants

    Purpose: Making wiser decisions about employees to improve performance at the individual and/or organizational levels is the process of HR analytics. HR analytics is a method for determining the correlation between HR practices and organizational performance outcomes such as sales volume or customer satisfaction. Human Resource Analytics was established in 1978 by Jac Fitz-Enz, the pioneer of human capital strategic analysis and performance benchmarking. In this paper, the researcher wants to discuss the concept of HR analytics, its application, impact on talent management, branding, and challenges in its application.Design/methodology/approach: The researcher examines secondary data and conducts a thorough literature review to understand the concept and its application across industries and nations, as well as to identify any challenges encountered during deployment and any benefits perceived by various industry professionals. Findings: The study's findings indicate that using HR analytics can help businesses build their brand and gain a competitive edge in today's fiercely competitive business environment while also enhancing workforce and employee productivity.Originality/value: This study has significant implications for both literature and HR analytics. Researchers will know more about the factors that contribute to and the mechanisms by which HR analytics improve organisational performance. The author's second claim is that having access to HR technology both facilitates and precedes HR analytics. Finally, concrete data from the literature demonstrates its influence on branding and organisational success. Keywords: Human resource (HR) analytics, People analytics, Branding, Talent Management, Organizational performance. Paper type: Research paper JEL Code: M12, M15 & M51 DOI: 10.7176/EJBM/15-8-06 Publication date: April 30th 202

    A Design Science Research Approach to Smart and Collaborative Urban Supply Networks

    Get PDF
    Urban supply networks are facing increasing demands and challenges and thus constitute a relevant field for research and practical development. Supply chain management holds enormous potential and relevance for society and everyday life as the flow of goods and information are important economic functions. Being a heterogeneous field, the literature base of supply chain management research is difficult to manage and navigate. Disruptive digital technologies and the implementation of cross-network information analysis and sharing drive the need for new organisational and technological approaches. Practical issues are manifold and include mega trends such as digital transformation, urbanisation, and environmental awareness. A promising approach to solving these problems is the realisation of smart and collaborative supply networks. The growth of artificial intelligence applications in recent years has led to a wide range of applications in a variety of domains. However, the potential of artificial intelligence utilisation in supply chain management has not yet been fully exploited. Similarly, value creation increasingly takes place in networked value creation cycles that have become continuously more collaborative, complex, and dynamic as interactions in business processes involving information technologies have become more intense. Following a design science research approach this cumulative thesis comprises the development and discussion of four artefacts for the analysis and advancement of smart and collaborative urban supply networks. This thesis aims to highlight the potential of artificial intelligence-based supply networks, to advance data-driven inter-organisational collaboration, and to improve last mile supply network sustainability. Based on thorough machine learning and systematic literature reviews, reference and system dynamics modelling, simulation, and qualitative empirical research, the artefacts provide a valuable contribution to research and practice

    Corporate Social Responsibility: the institutionalization of ESG

    Get PDF
    Understanding the impact of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) on firm performance as it relates to industries reliant on technological innovation is a complex and perpetually evolving challenge. To thoroughly investigate this topic, this dissertation will adopt an economics-based structure to address three primary hypotheses. This structure allows for each hypothesis to essentially be a standalone empirical paper, unified by an overall analysis of the nature of impact that ESG has on firm performance. The first hypothesis explores the evolution of CSR to the modern quantified iteration of ESG has led to the institutionalization and standardization of the CSR concept. The second hypothesis fills gaps in existing literature testing the relationship between firm performance and ESG by finding that the relationship is significantly positive in long-term, strategic metrics (ROA and ROIC) and that there is no correlation in short-term metrics (ROE and ROS). Finally, the third hypothesis states that if a firm has a long-term strategic ESG plan, as proxied by the publication of CSR reports, then it is more resilience to damage from controversies. This is supported by the finding that pro-ESG firms consistently fared better than their counterparts in both financial and ESG performance, even in the event of a controversy. However, firms with consistent reporting are also held to a higher standard than their nonreporting peers, suggesting a higher risk and higher reward dynamic. These findings support the theory of good management, in that long-term strategic planning is both immediately economically beneficial and serves as a means of risk management and social impact mitigation. Overall, this contributes to the literature by fillings gaps in the nature of impact that ESG has on firm performance, particularly from a management perspective

    Background: Severe aortic valve calcification (AVC) has generally been recognized as a key factor in the occurrence of adverse events after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). To date, however, a consensus on a standardized calcium detection threshold for aortic valve calcium quantification in contrast-enhanced computed tomography angiography (CTA) is still lacking. The present thesis aimed at comparing two different approaches for quantifying AVC in CTA scans based on their predictive power for adverse events and survival after a TAVI procedure.   Methods: The extensive dataset of this study included 198 characteristics for each of the 965 prospectively included patients who had undergone TAVI between November 2012 and December 2019 at the German Heart Center Berlin (DHZB). AVC quantification in CTA scans was performed at a fixed Hounsfield Unit (HU) threshold of 850 HU (HU 850 approach) and at a patient-specific threshold, where the HU threshold was set by multiplying the mean luminal attenuation of the ascending aorta by 2 (+100 % HUAorta approach). The primary endpoint of this study consisted of a combination of post-TAVI outcomes (paravalvular leak ≥ mild, implant-related conduction disturbances, 30-day mortality, post-procedural stroke, annulus rupture, and device migration). The Akaike information criterion was used to select variables for the multivariable regression model. Multivariable analysis was carried out to determine the predictive power of the investigated approaches.   Results: Multivariable analyses showed that a fixed threshold of 850 HU (calcium volume cut-off 146 mm3) was unable to predict the composite clinical endpoint post-TAVI (OR=1.13, 95 % CI 0.87 to 1.48, p=0.35). In contrast, the +100 % HUAorta approach (calcium volume cut-off 1421 mm3) enabled independent prediction of the composite clinical endpoint post-TAVI (OR=2, 95 % CI 1.52 to 2.64, p=9.2x10-7). No significant difference in the Kaplan-Meier survival analysis was observed for either of the approaches.   Conclusions: The patient-specific calcium detection threshold +100 % HUAorta is more predictive of post-TAVI adverse events included in the combined clinical endpoint than the fixed HU 850 approach. For the +100 % HUAorta approach, a calcium volume cut-off of 1421 mm3 of the aortic valve had the highest predictive value.Hintergrund: Ein wichtiger Auslöser von Komplikationen nach einer Transkatheter-Aortenklappen-Implantation (TAVI) sind ausgeprägte Kalkablagerung an der Aortenklappe. Dennoch erfolgte bisher keine Einigung auf ein standardisiertes Messverfahren zur Quantifizierung der Kalklast der Aortenklappe in einer kontrastverstärkten dynamischen computertomographischen Angiographie (CTA). Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht, inwieweit die Wahl des Analyseverfahrens zur Quantifizierung von Kalkablagerungen in der Aortenklappe die Prognose von Komplikationen und der Überlebensdauer nach einer TAVI beeinflusst.   Methodik: Der Untersuchung liegt ein umfangreicher Datensatz von 965 Patienten mit 198 Merkmalen pro Patienten zugrunde, welche sich zwischen 2012 und 2019 am Deutschen Herzzentrum Berlin einer TAVI unterzogen haben. Die Quantifizierung der Kalkablagerung an der Aortenklappe mittels CTA wurde einerseits mit einem starren Grenzwert von 850 Hounsfield Einheiten (HU) (HU 850 Verfahren) und andererseits anhand eines individuellen Grenzwertes bemessen. Letzterer ergibt sich aus der HU-Dämpfung in dem Lumen der Aorta ascendens multipliziert mit 2 (+100 % HUAorta Verfahren). Der primäre klinische Endpunkt dieser Dissertation besteht aus einem aus sechs Variablen zusammengesetzten klinischen Endpunkt, welcher ungewünschte Ereignisse nach einer TAVI abbildet (paravalvuläre Leckage ≥mild, Herzrhythmusstörungen nach einer TAVI, Tod innerhalb von 30 Tagen, post-TAVI Schlaganfall, Ruptur des Annulus und Prothesendislokation). Mögliche Störfaktoren, die auf das Eintreten der Komplikationen nach TAVI Einfluss haben, wurden durch den Einsatz des Akaike Informationskriterium ermittelt. Um die Vorhersagekraft von Komplikationen nach einer TAVI durch beide Verfahren zu ermitteln, wurde eine multivariate Regressionsanalyse durchgeführt.   Ergebnisse: Die multivariaten logistischen Regressionen zeigen, dass die Messung der Kalkablagerungen anhand der HU 850 Messung (Kalklast Grenzwert von 146 mm3) die Komplikationen und die Überlebensdauer nicht vorhersagen konnten (OR=1.13, 95 % CI 0.87 bis 1.48, p=0.35). Die nach dem +100 % HUAorta Verfahren (Kalklast Grenzwert von 1421 mm3) individualisierte Kalkmessung erwies sich hingegen als sehr aussagekräftig, da hiermit Komplikationen nach einer TAVI signifikant vorhergesagt werden konnten (OR=2, 95 % CI 1.52 bis 2.64, p=9.2x10-7). In Hinblick auf die postoperative Kaplan-Meier Überlebenszeitanalyse kann auch mit dem +100 % HUAorta Verfahren keine Vorhersage getroffen werden.   Fazit: Aus der Dissertation ergibt sich die Empfehlung, die Messung von Kalkablagerungen nach dem +100 % HUAorta Verfahren vorzunehmen, da Komplikationen wesentlich besser und zuverlässiger als nach der gängigen HU 850 Messmethode vorhergesagt werden können. Für das +100 % HUAorta Verfahren lag der optimale Kalklast Grenzwert bei 1421 mm3

    Ziel: Die Untersuchung der Fertigungsrichtigkeit von konventionell (IM), subtraktiv (MIL) und additiv (SLA) hergestellten Prothesenbasen. Zusätzlich sollte der Einfluss von hydrothermaler Alterung und Mikrowellenbestrahlung auf die Formbeständigkeit untersucht werden. Die Nullhypothese besagt, dass es keinen Unterschied der Fertigungsrichtigkeit zwischen den Herstellungsverfahren gibt, und dass hydrothermale Alterung und Mikrowellenbestrahlung keinen Einfluss auf die Formstabilität haben. Material und Methodik: Als Ausgangsmodell für die Prothesenherstellung diente ein zahnloses Oberkiefermodell. Von diesem wurden 16 Duplikate aus Gips hergestellt und mit einem Laborscanner digitalisiert. Auf Grundlage der Modelle erfolgte die Herstellung der Prothesen mittels konventioneller, subtraktiver und additiver Fertigungsmethode. Die additiv gefertigten Prothesenbasen wurden mit Hilfe eines SLA-Druckers, die subtraktiven mittels einer CNC-Fräsmaschine gefertigt. Die konventionellen Prothesenbasen wurden im Spritzgussverfahren hergestellt. Nach Fertigung wurden die Innenseiten der Proben eingescannt. Anschließend wurden die 16 Proben in zwei Gruppen aufgeteilt. Die erste Gruppe wurde hydrothermaler Alterung (5–55 °C, N = 5.000) unterzogen. Die zweite Gruppe wurde sechs Zyklen für 6 min bei 640 W Mikrowellenbestrahlung ausgesetzt. Abschließend wurden die Prothesen erneut eingescannt. Zur Messung der Fertigungsrichtigkeit wurden die Scans mittels einer Vermessungssoftware vermessen. Die Protheseninnenseite wurde dabei in drei Bereiche unterteilt: Gaumen, Alveolarkamm und Randbereich. Die deskriptive Analyse umfasste die positiven und negativen Mittelwerte sowie die Wurzel der mittleren Fehlerquadratsummen (RMSE). Die Normalverteilung wurde durch Shapiro-Wilk-Tests bestimmt und die Richtigkeitsanalyse wurde mit Hilfe der RSME-Werte und mehreren einfaktoriellen Varianzanalysen durchgeführt. Im Falle von Signifikanzen wurden Post-hoc-Tukey-HSD-Tests durchgeführt (α = 0.05). Ergebnisse: Nach Fertigung zeigte MIL die geringsten Abweichungen (54 ± 16 µm; p ≤ ,006) gefolgt von IM (72 ± 11 µm; p ≤ ,006) und SLA (96 ± 17 µm; p = ,001). Die hydrothermale Alterung hatte keinen Einfluss auf MIL und IM (p = ,816). Für SLA wurde eine signifikante Verschlechterung der Abweichung (p = ,001) deutlich. Nach Mikrowellenbestrahlung zeigten sich bei IM und MIL Abweichungen in der Richtigkeit (p = ,153), wohingegen die Prothesenbasen der additiven Herstellung formstabil blieben (p = ,001). Schlussfolgerung: Die höchste Fertigungsrichtigkeit zeigte MIL, gefolgt von IM und SLA. Hydrothermale Alterung hatte lediglich Einfluss auf SLA. Mikrowellenbestrahlung hatte einzig auf SLA keinen Einfluss. Hierdurch könnte eine vereinfachte Desinfektionsmöglichkeit der Prothesen für Patienten*innen geschaffen werden. Zur abschließenden Beurteilung der klinischen Relevanz von Fertigungsabweichungen additiv hergestellter Prothesenbasen sind weitere Studien notwendig.Objectives: To investigate the trueness of injection molded (IM), milled (MIL) and additively (SLA) manufactured denture bases after manufacturing. In addition, the influence of hydrothermal ageing and microwave irradiation on the dimensional stability should be evaluated. The null hypothesis states that there is no difference in trueness between the different manufacturing methods as well as that hydrothermal ageing and microwave irradiation have no influence on the dimensional stability of the denture bases. Material and methods: An edentulous maxillary model was used for the fabrication of the denture bases. 16 plaster duplicates were made and digitized with a laboratory scanner. Based on the models, the dentures bases were fabricated using injection molding, subtractive and additive manufacturing methods. The additively manufactured denture bases were produced using a SLA printer, the subtractive ones with a CNC-milling machine. After fabrication, the samples were scanned. The 16 denture bases were then divided into two groups. The first group was subjected to hydrothermal ageing (5-55 °C, N = 5,000). The second group was exposed to 640 W microwave irradiation for six cycles for 6 min each. Subsequently, the samples were re-digitized. To evaluate the trueness, the scans were measured using an inspection software. The total intaglio surface of the scanned denture bases was divided into three areas: palatal, alveolar ridge and border seal. Descriptive analysis included the positive and negative mean deviations and root mean square error (RMSE). Normal distribution was evaluated with Shapiro-Wilk tests and trueness analysis was performed using the RSME values and multiple one- Way ANOVAs. In case of significance, post-hoc-Tukey-HSD-tests were performed (α = 0.05). Results: After fabrication, MIL showed the lowest deviations (54 ± 16 µm; P ≤ .006) followed by IM (72 ± 11 µm; P ≤ .006) and SLA (96 ± 17 µm; P = .001). Hydrothermal ageing had no effect on MIL and IM (P = .816). SLA showed a significant deterioration of deviation (P = .001) after hydrothermal ageing. Microwave irradiation caused a deviation in trueness within group MIL and IM (P = .153), whereas the denture bases of SLA remained dimensionally stable (P = .001). Conclusion: MIL showed the highest trueness, followed by IM and SLA. Hydrothermal ageing only had an influence on SLA. Microwave irradiation, which could present a simplified method for patients to disinfect their dentures, had no effect on SLA. Nevertheless further studies are necessary to evaluate the clinical relevance of manufacturing deviations of additively manufactured dentures
