This thesis aims to research the platform YouTube and whether “being a YouTuber” qualifies as a profession or not and what leads to this. The author combines existing scientific data and information provided by YouTubers doing this as a job and uses the compilation method. The author merges that material and uses it to create a bachelor thesis that covers both the theoretical and practical approach. The aim was to find out if there is a success recipe that can be followed that leads to views and clicks which are essential for the profession as a YouTuber. To do this, the author created two channels to see how the factors mentioned in this thesis are applied and if the approach leads to success. The findings of this thesis showed, that although the profession of a YouTuber can be classified as a job, it needs to be viewed differently from commonly known and in society accepted careers. Becoming a YouTuber and making money from this business, therefore, cannot be guaranteed.
Workload Optimization Techniques for Password
Guessing Algorithms on Distributed Computing Platforms
(2019)
The following thesis covers several ways to optimize distributed computing platforms for cryptanalytic purposes. After an introduction on password storage, password guessing attacks and distributed computing in general, a set of inital benchmark results for a variety of different devices will be analyzed. The shown results are mainly based on utilization of the open source password recovery tool Hashcat. The second part of this work shows an algorithmic implementation for information retrieval and workload generation. This thesis can be used for the conception of a distributed computing system, inventory analysis of available hardware devices, runtime and cost estimations for specific jobs and finally strategic workload distribution.
In this thesis, the changes in economy and society and the resulting effects on the labor market are being outlined. Current studies show that the shrinking labor market and the increasing digitalization result in a lack of skilled tech talent and a transition from an employer market to a clear employee market. Derived from the findings of the scientific research on this topic and conducted expert interviews, practical recommendations for recruitment actions within the scope of employer branding will be defined in order to help corporations to gain the needed tech skill set and drive innovation.
This work concentrates on the frequently used marketing instrument brand personality. Its effect on the consumer and how it drives consumer behaviour through TV advertis-ing are the focus. Scientific material, utilising research results of the last 20 years, has been analysed to investigate this subject. Furthermore, the example of Southern Comfort provides an insight of brand personality being applied to the real world of marketing business.
This paper explores the origins of Maori images in New Zealand film history. Discussing the history of Maori and their society brings us closer to a, once almost extinct, race and its struggle for self-representation and self-governance. By taking an in-depth look at New Zealands film history we get to understand how Maori were the subject of the earliest films and at what time they started making their own films. Combining those elements gives us the opportunity to understand how early images of Maori were created by Pakeha directors. By looking at different films throughout film history shows how Maori images evolved in time, especially when Maori started depicting themselves. This paper not only answers questions about Maori images in film but also tries to make people realise what odds Maori had to overcome in their daily struggle for selfdetermination.
The following is a description and outline of the work done at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology developing Nation Feathers VR, a virtual reality game for learning about bird calls and songs. The goal was to develop a game which is intuitive, educational and entertaining. Furthermore, the software needed to be structured in a way that allows for feasible future expansion. This required careful data saving and retrieval. The game gives the player an opportunity to learn and apply that knowledge, all while maintaining a shorter runtime in order to reduce the total time spent in the virtual world. This is meant to prevent any discomfort to the player that may result from extended use of the VR headset.
The number of Internet of Things (IoT) devices is increasing rapidly. The Trustless Incentivized Remote Node Network, in short IN3 (Incubed), enables trustworthy and fast access to a blockchain for a large number of low-performance IoT devices. Although currently IN3 only supports the verification of Ethereum data, it is not limited to one blockchain due to modularity. This thesis describes the fundamentals, the concept and the implementation of the Bitcoin verification in IN3.

This study explores the opportunities and risks associated with user-generated content (UGC) in the communication strategies of marketing departments from a business perspective. With the rise of social media and online platforms, UGC has become a powerful tool for brands to engage with their audience, build trust, and enhance brand awareness. However, implementing UGC also comes with inherent risks, including the loss of control over brand messaging, potential negative user-generated content, and legal implications.
To investigate these dynamics, an empirical mixed-methods approach was employed, including expert interviews and a comprehensive literature review. The findings indicate that UGC offers significant opportunities for marketing departments, such as increased customer loyalty, enhanced authenticity, brand awareness, as well as a diverse set of possible content. However, the study also reveals the potential risks associated with UGC, highlighting the importance of managing these risks effectively.
In the following study the properties of the superabsorbent polymer Broadleaf P4 were investigated according to the aim to apply that polymer within constructed wetlands. The application of the polymer in constructed wetlands shall result in an improvement of the removal of pesticides. For that the polymer was given into lab-scale wetlands together with pumice and were compared to a control wetland, which was filled with gravel. The wetlands were running for several weeks in which the nutrient removal was recorded. The polymer was also tested according to its property to adsorb the pesticides before adding the pesticides to the wetland beds.
In this thesis, we implement, correct, and modify the compartmental model described in “Transmission Dynamics of Large Coronavirus Disease Outbreak in Homeless Shelter, Chicago, Illinois, USA, 2020”. Our objective is to engage in reading and understanding scientific literature, reproduce the results, and modify or generalize an existing mathematical model. We provide an overview of epidemiological models, focusing on simple compartmental SEIR models. We correct inaccuracies and misprints in the original implementation and use the limited-memory Broyden–Fletcher–Goldfarb–Shanno algorithm to fit the model’s parameters. Furthermore, we modify the model by introducing an additional compartment. The resulting model has a more intuitive interpretation and relies on fewer assumptions. We also perform the fitting process for this alternative model. Finally, we demonstrate the advantages of our modified implementations and discuss other possible approaches.
Tokenization projects are currently very present when it comes to new blockchain technologies. After explaining the fundamentals of cross-chain interaction, the bachelor thesis will focus on tokenizing technology for Bitcoin on Ethereum. To get a more practical context, implementing the currently most successful decentralized tokenization project is described.
In this work a new method for the prediction of the Xaa-proline (where Xaa is any amino acid) cis/trans isomerization was investigated. By extraction of twelve structural features (real secondary structure, inside/outside classification, properties of the environment around proline and proline itself) a support vector machine (SVM) based prediction approach was evolved. The Java software Xaa-PIPT for structural feature extraction was developed. Based on 4397 (2199 cis and 2198 trans) prolines extracted from non-redundant, globular proteins a classifier was trained using the radial basis function (RBF) kernel. In ten-fold cross-validation it achieved an accuracy of 70.0478 % and a Matthews correlation coefficient (MCC) of 0.4223, a sensitivity of 0.5433 and a specificity of 0.8576. Based on this classifier a lightweight and easy-to-use Java software tool, called m Xaa-PIPT, for the prediction of the Xaa-proline cis/trans isomerization was devel-oped. It was shown that there are correlations between the proline surrounding environment and the isomerization state. m Xaa-PIPT can be used for the evaluation of low-resolution protein structures and theoretical models to improve their quality by the prediction of the Xaa-proline isomerization.

This paper set out to determine what the effect of daily internet usage on a short attention span was and whether this had an effect on academic performance. As described briefly in the introduction this paper consisted of laying the groundwork through defining the relevant terminology, applying the methodology to the Hypotheses and making conclusive statements.
Two Hypotheses were presented to give the paper the aim. While Hypothesis 1 can be proven true through the two-step terminology applied, Hypothesis 2 does not stand up to the scrutiny. For lack of sufficient and specific evidence, the only conclusive statement that can be made regarding it is that it is untrue.
Approx. 80% of the population sample analysed were between the age of 19 – 30 which automatically reduces the analysis, extrapolations and scientific statements to a more specific age group. The other ages represented were almost all above, meaning that the findings could not accurately be applied to older age groups.
Nonetheless, the data collected was accurate and good be applied to prove Hypothesis 1, meaning that daily internet usage breeds and invites a short attention span. For lack of a fitting data collection method, physcial, social, mental factors along with motivation of an individual make up his academic performance. These were factors that could not be taken into consideration.
Conclusively, the author predicts that a present internet connection coupled with the growing popularity of digital technology attention spans will contin ue to stay as short as they are. Individuals will find ways to direct their short attention span where it is needed and apply it as necessary.
Where does the cocoa, which we consume on a regular basis, come from? Supply chains are not always transparent, much less easily comprehensible. The cocoa industry faces ongoing challenges. Whether it be the chocolate manufacturers’ promise to maintain a sustainable and ethical supply chain, the minimal impact on the environment or the maximum adherence to human rights in their production process. This paper revises important steps which lead to the compliance with UN standards and questions the role of consumers in the construct of ethical chocolate products.
This thesis proposes a solution to the practical problem of supervising relatively basic mechanic processes in robotics by means of computervision. Supervision happens by comparing the tracked movement with a known, ideal recording of the movement that acts as a model.
First, this thesis analyzes possible approaches to the problem regarding data structures and representation, ways of extracting the data from the recording and ways to compare the data sets of two recordings. Then, a specific solution is implemented in C++ and explained.
