Fast jeden Tag wird in Nordrhein-Westfalen eine Frau getötet, nur weil sie eine Frau ist - Nordstadtblogger
Das Landeskriminalamt Nordrhein-Westfalen (LKA) hat im Auftrag des Innenministeriums erstmals eine umfassende Untersuchung zu Tötungsdelikten an Frauen durchgeführt. Die Studie basiert auf einer Sonderauswertung der Polizeilichen Kriminalstatistik (PKS) für die Jahre 2014 bis 2023 und …

Investigating LLM Variability in Personalized Conversational Information Retrieval
Personalized Conversational Information Retrieval (CIR) has seen rapid progress in recent years, driven by the development of Large Language Models (LLMs). Personalized CIR aims to enhance document retrieval by leveraging user-specific information, such as preferences, knowledge, or constraints, to tailor responses to individual needs. A key resource for this task is the TREC iKAT 2023 dataset, designed to evaluate personalization in CIR pipelines. Building on this resource, Mo et al. explored …

Unternehmen aus Deutschland finanzieren den israelischen Gaza Krieg. Durch Waffenkäufe und Kredite.
"Kaum Beachtung findet auch, dass die Bundeswehr ein bedeutender Käufer israelischer Rüstungsgüter ist"
"EU-Staaten kauften fast die Hälfte aller Ausfuhren."
"Zur Finanzierung des Gaza­kriegs gab Israel zwischen dem 2023-10-07 und Anfang 2025 Staatsanleihen im Wert von 19,4 Milliarden $ aus. Große Banken wie die Deutsche Bank griffen zu, ebenso der Al…

Ein Gedanke zur politischen Geografie
Friedrich Merz sprach davon, dass die Union eine "Alternative für Deutschland mit Substanz" sei - ein weiterer Schritt auf dem Weg von CDU und CSU zurück nach rechts; die Ablösung des Generalsekretärs durch einen Hardliner und die Erklärung, dass Grüne der Hauptgegner seien, gehören ebenfalls zu die

The Path to Aperiodic Monotiles
This article, written for undergraduate mathematics students, provides an accessible introduction to a few key problems in tiling theory: Heesch's problem, the isohedral number problem, and the existence of an aperiodic monotile. I contributed to the solution of the last of these problems in 2023, but many related questions remain open and worthy of study. My goal is to get more students excited about studying tiling theory.

High School Science Profile Predicts Adults' Views on the Future of AI and STS
This study investigates the long term influence of high school science education on adults' engagement with artificial intelligence (AI) and their views on science-technology-society (STS) issues. Drawing on longitudinal data from the Korea Employment Education Panel (KEEP) II (n = 2,348), which tracked general high school students from 2016 to 2023, we applied structural equation modeling (SEM) to examine how science interest and achievement in adolescence predict AI use and perceptions in adu…

Web Crawler Restrictions, AI Training Datasets \& Political Biases
Large language models rely on web-scraped text for training; concurrently, content creators are increasingly blocking AI crawlers to retain control over their data. We analyze crawler restrictions across the top one million most-visited websites since 2023 and examine their potential downstream effects on training data composition. Our analysis reveals growing restrictions, with blocking patterns varying by website popularity and content type. A quarter of the top thousand websites restrict AI …

LAOStrain response of carbon black-polymer hydrogels: insights from rheo-TRUSAXS and rheo-electric experiment
Colloid-polymer hydrogels are encountered in various applications, from flow batteries to drug delivery. Here, we investigate hydrogels composed of hydrophobic colloidal soot particles -carbon black (CB)- and carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), a food-grade polymer functionalized with hydrophobic groups binding physically to CB. As described in [Legrand et al., Macromolecules 56, 2298-2308 (2023)], CB-CMC hydrogels exist in two flavors: either electrically conductive when featuring a percolated netwo…
