  abstract     = {{Bioactive peptides from plant proteins offer significant benefits. In this study, the structural and bioactive properties of sunflower protein isolate and its enzymatic hydrolysates were systematically investigated. The hydrolysates were fractionated using low-pressure preparative gradient chromatography (LP-PGC), and their antioxidant capacity, along with angiotensin-converting enzyme and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitory activities relevant to metabolic health, were assessed. Structural analyses via sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and scanning electron microscopy revealed significant alterations in molecular weight distribution and surface morphology after hydrolysis and fractionation, confirming the generation of low-molecular-weight peptides linked to improved bioactivity. The results demonstrated a clear fraction-dependent bioactivity profile. MTT-based cell viability analysis of HepG2 and Caco-2 cells indicates that the non-toxicity of the hydrolysates depends on both their concentration and the cell type. Molecular docking studies were performed with the three highest-scoring peptides from each hydrolysate according to PeptideRanker. LP-PGC effectively reveals in vitro/in silico bioactivity of sunflower protein hydrolysates for multifunctional food use.}},

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>In order to mitigate the negative effects of heavy rainfall events, natural water retention measures (NWRM)—such as hedges, erosion control strips, vegetated drainage channels, wooded strips, retention basins and ditch pockets—have gained renewed attention as an effective climate adaptation strategy. To identify potential areas for NWRM, this study applied and methodologically expanded an existing approach for identifying dominant runoff processes (DRPs) to an agricultural sub-catchment in the Weserbergland region of Germany. The DRP were determined using a Geographic Information System (GIS) and validated through field surveys. Potential areas for water retention within the same runoff process classes were identified for three defined objectives: improving infiltration, extending flow paths, and redirecting runoff to surrounding areas. Spatial differentiation was achieved using accumulated catchment area and overland flow distance. The watershed is predominantly characterized by surface runoff (Hortonian Overland Flow). Field validation confirmed the DRP classification for around two-thirds of the study area, with deviations occurring predominantly on arable land. Supplementing the DRP approach with a topographic analysis allowed for further differentiation, focusing on small, topographically defined sub-watersheds. The identified areas offer significant potential for interventions. Combined with supplementary data, analyses of the water network and the involvement of local stakeholders, the resulting potential map provides a solid basis for planning smaller-scale water retention measures.</jats:p>}},

  abstract     = {{As automation is progressively more present in buildings, it is important to understand its impact on people’s experience of urban environments. This case study investigated how one automated shading system with motorized venetian blinds affects sound perception of the acoustic environment in the immediate outdoor surroundings of a university campus building in Detmold, Germany. Procedures of ISO 12913 series for soundscape research were followed to conduct acoustic measurements and derive psychoacoustic indicators. Additionally, soundwalks involving 41 participants and a laboratory study using immersive virtual reality (VR) with 34 participants were conducted to assess how individuals perceive the acoustic environment. The results show that the operation of automated blinds increases sound levels above reference thresholds at short distances, and has a consistent effect on the soundscape, shifting it from pleasant and calm to annoying and chaotic. These trends are notable in both on-site and laboratory data. Additionally, when participants evaluated the soundscape in direct visual connection with the operating façade shading system, they perceived the sounds to be less chaotic than when they were not seeing the façade. These findings highlight that automated buildings and façades are active sound sources capable of influencing environmental quality through acoustic and non-acoustic effects; therefore, their influence on the soundscape should be considered within performance assessments, smart/automation policy, and sustainability frameworks.}},

  abstract     = {{Deploying digital twins across the broader building stock is constrained by a key bottleneck: high-quality 3D content from LiDAR or photogrammetry remains labor-intensive and difficult to scale. We introduce Generative Twins (GT), a workflow that shifts digital twin creation from explicit geometric reconstruction toward probabilistic 3D synthesis. The pipeline takes a
single street-level façade photograph, corrects perspective distortion and removes occlusions, uses an instruction-conditioned multimodal image model to synthesise an isometric view of the building, and passes that view to an image-to-3D reconstruction model that leverages learned shape priors to produce a textured mesh without manual modelling. Three image to-3D platforms (Hitem3D, Hyper3D and Hunyuan3D 3.1) are compared on identical isometric inputs and assessed on architectural boundary clarity. We demonstrate GT through two applied cases: (i) reconstruction of ordinary residential streets in Detmold as stimuli for a virtual-reality study of multi sensory urban perception, and (ii) Green Editor, a design-exploration tool in which façade greenery is added or removed at the image layer before mesh generation.
Together these cases position Generative Twins as a scalable pathway for the digitization of ordinary building stock, with emphasis on controllability, editability, and iterative design workflows.}},

  abstract     = {{Gamification, defined as the use of game design elements in non-playful contexts, has been applied in several professional environments for over a decade. Yet, gamification remains rare in manufacturing, with research reporting ambivalent effects on both worker well-being and productivity. Despite growing evidence that gamification affects individuals differently, experimental studies examining these effects often rely on relatively small sample sizes. To address this research gap, this work presents first results from an ongoing laboratory study investigating the effects of gamification in a production-related task (currently N = 229). Thereby, participants completed an assembly task with an assistance system providing step-by-step instructions. The aim of the study is to (I) evaluate whether varying the game design elements (points, leaderboard and avatar) affect key performance indicators (task speed and error rate) differently as well as (II) to assess whether the effects on these performance indicators are moderated by factors such as individual characteristics or demographics. So far, the results indicate that points may reduce the task completion time, while not increasing the number of errors. By incorporating individual characteristics into the analysis, the study aims to provide first insights into heterogeneous responses to gamification and to identify which employees benefit most from specific game design elements in production settings.}},
