Das neu implementierte Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem für den Indischen Ozean GITEWS nimmt heute seinen Betrieb auf und geht nun in seine Optimierungsphase.
Neue wissenschaftliche Verfahren und neuartige Technologien unterscheiden dieses System von den bisherigen Tsunami-Warnsystemen. Aufgrund der speziellen geologischen Situation in Indonesien ergab sich, dass die bisher benutzten Systeme, wie etwa das Pazifische Tsunami-Warnsystem, für Indonesien nicht optimal sind. Die Erdbeben im Indischen Ozean vor Indonesien entstehen entlang einer Subduktionszone, dem Sundagraben, der sich bogenförmig von der Nordwestspitze Sumatras bis Flores im Osten Indonesiens erstreckt. Entsteht hier ein Tsunami, laufen die Wellen im Extremfall innerhalb von 20 Minuten an der Küste auf, so dass nur sehr wenig Zeit für eine Frühwarnung bleibt. Diese Randbedingung lag daher der Konzeption des gesamten Systems zugrunde.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Dennis Ritchie, a computer scientist, was able to identify the gaps and tap out the best features from both B and BCPL languages to invent a new hybrid.
Hence, C was born in 1972 at Bell Laboratories. A remarkably simple and highly readable programming language resulted in groundbreaking advancements in the IT industry.
✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

✅What is C++ Programming?
C++ is an enhanced and extended version of C programming language, developed by Bjarne Stroustrup in 1979 as part of his Ph.D. project. Bjarne developed what he called ‘C with Classes’ (later renamed C++) because he felt limited by the existing programming languages that were not ideal for large scale projects. He used C to build what he wanted because C was already a general-purpose language that was efficient and fast in its operations.
✅C++ Career Prospects:
With just C++ programming expertise, you will have excellent job opportunities, salaries, and career prospects. However, for a career based on programming languages such as Java and Python (which are in more demand than C++) or for careers based on front-end, back-end, and full-stack
1. GERMAN INDONESIAN TSUNAMI EARLY WARNING SYSTEM
Presse-Information Sperrfrist: 11.11.2008, 10:00 MEZ
Neuartiges Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem geht in Betrieb
Wissenschaftliches Neuland und neuartige Technologien für das Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem
im Indischen Ozean GITEWS (German Indonesian Tsunami Early Warning System)
Jakarta/Potsdam, 11.11.2008 - Das neu implementierte Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem für den
Indischen Ozean GITEWS nimmt heute seinen Betrieb auf und geht nun in seine
Optimierungsphase. Wie vorgesehen, wurde es pünktlich vier Jahre nach der Katastrophe
von 2004 offiziell vom Staatspräsidenten Indonesiens, Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono, in der
indonesischen Hauptstadt Jakarta dem BMKG (Meteorologischer, Klimatologischer und
Geophysikalischer Dienst Indonesien) übergeben. „Wir freuen uns, genau nach Zeitplan
heute das Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem in Funktion zu setzen“, erklärt Professor Reinhard
Hüttl, Vorstandsvorsitzender des federführenden Deutschen GeoForschungsZentrums GFZ.
„Alle Partner haben dieses mit einer enormen Kraftanstrengung erreicht. Dafür möchte ich
allen, die daran mitgearbeitet haben, von Herzen danken.“
Neue wissenschaftliche Verfahren und neuartige Technologien unterscheiden dieses
System von den bisherigen Tsunami-Warnsystemen. Aufgrund der speziellen geologischen
Situation in Indonesien ergab sich, dass die bisher benutzten Systeme, wie etwa das
Pazifische Tsunami-Warnsystem, für Indonesien nicht optimal sind. Die Erdbeben im
Indischen Ozean vor Indonesien entstehen entlang einer Subduktionszone, dem
Sundagraben, der sich bogenförmig von der Nordwestspitze Sumatras bis Flores im Osten
Indonesiens erstreckt. Entsteht hier ein Tsunami, laufen die Wellen im Extremfall innerhalb
von 20 Minuten an der Küste auf, so dass nur sehr wenig Zeit für eine Frühwarnung bleibt.
Diese Randbedingung lag daher der Konzeption des gesamten Systems zugrunde.
So werden in dem Frühwarn-System neue Verfahren der schnellen und sicheren
Bestimmung von starken Erdbeben, der Tsunami-Modellierung und der Lagebeurteilung
eingesetzt. Insbesondere die direkte Einbeziehung einer Vielzahl von unterschiedlichen
Sensorsystemen zur sicheren Erfassung eines Tsunami stellt eine enorme Herausforderung
dar.
Fortschritte in der wissenschaftlichen Seismologie
Mehr als 90% aller Tsunamis entstehen durch starke Erdbeben. Die Katastrophe vom
Dezember 2004 war mit einer Magnitude von 9,3 das zweitstärkste je gemessene Beben.
Eine Viertelstunde nach dem Beben erreichte der Tsunami die Provinz Banda Aceh und riss
allein hier mehr als 140.000 Menschen in den Tod. Insgesamt starben ungefähr eine
Viertelmillion Menschen.
Eine zügige und exakte Bestimmung der Erdbebenparameter (Ort, Bebenstärke, Herdtiefe)
ist daher essentiel für ein schnelles Tsunami-Frühwarnsystem. Ein dichtes Messnetz
verkürzt einerseits die Laufzeit der Erdbeben-Welle zum Messgerät. Andererseits aber ist
es äußerst schwierig, die Signale von starken Beben im Nahfeld aufzuzeichnen und
auszuwerten. Für GITEWS wurden deshalb neuartige Mess- und Auswertungsverfahren
entwickelt. SeisComP3 nennt sich das von Wissenschaftlern des GFZ entwickelte
Softwareprogramm, das aus den aufgezeichneten Signalen in Minutenschnelle die Lage und
Stärke eines Bebens ermittelt. So konnten bereits mehrere starke Erdbeben innerhalb von
gut zwei Minuten erfasst und ihre Parameter bestimmt werden. Das gesamte
seismologische Netz in Indonesien verfügt derzeitig über 120 Stationen.
Diese Auswertesoftware setzt weltweit neue Maßstäbe. SeisComp3 wird mittlerweile auch
von anderen Anrainerstaaten des Indischen Ozeans verwendet, beispielsweise beim
Indischen Frühwarnsystem. Aber auch auf den Malediven, in Pakistan, Thailand und
2. 2
Südafrika wird diese Software bereits eingesetzt, weitere Länder werden in nächster Zeit
folgen.
Pegelmessung und Deformation
Tsunamis breiten sich in tiefem Wasser mit der Geschwindigkeit von Düsenflugzeugen aus.
Erst im flachen Wasser werden sie langsam, türmen sich allerdings an den Küsten zu
Wellenhöhen von bis zu 30 Metern auf. Deshalb ist es wichtig, an geeigneten Standorten,
z.B. auf vorgelagerten Inseln, einen Tsunami mit einem Küstenpegel bereits zu erfassen,
bevor die Welle auf das Festland aufläuft. Im Indischen Ozean wurden durch das GITEWS-
Projekt im Rahmen eines von der Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) der
UNESCO koordinierten Netzwerkes bereits neun Pegelstationen aufgebaut. Damit stehen
nicht nur an der Küste Indonesiens, sondern auch in den Anrainerstaaten des Indischen
Ozeans verlässliche Pegeldaten zur Verfügung. Die Daten liegen in frei zugänglichen
Datenbanken bereit.
Während des Katastrophenbebens von 2004 ließ sich ein horizontaler und vertikaler
Bodenversatz von mehreren Dezimetern bis Metern noch in einer Entfernung von einigen
hundert Kilometern vom Beben nachweisen. Die Richtung dieser beben-bedingten
Verschiebung gibt Hinweise auf den Mechanismus des Erdbebenbruchs und damit auf das
mögliche Tsunamipotential und die zu erwartende Gefährdung. Um den vertikalen und
horizontalen Versatz umgehend bestimmen zu können, wurden alle Pegelstationen im
GITEWS zusätzlich mit GPS-Antennen ausgerüstet - auch dieses eine völlig neue
Komponente eines Tsunami-Warnsystems.
GPS-Boje: Ein neues Messinstrument für Tsunamis
Nicht jedes Erdbeben erzeugt einen Tsunami. Daher muss auf dem Meer gemessen
werden, ob ein Erdbeben die tödliche Welle auf den Weg geschickt hat. Üblicherweise
werden dazu Unterwassermesseinheiten verwendet, die mithilfe eines Druckmessgerätes
einen Tsunami erfassen. Läuft ein Tsunami über die Drucksonde hinweg, werden die Daten
zu einer Boje an der Meeresoberfläche gesendet und von dort aus ans zentrale
Warnzentrum weitergeleitet.
Liegen die Unterwassereinheiten zu nahe am Bebenherd, kann das Messgerät nicht
zwischen der Beben- und einer Tsunamiwelle unterscheiden und löst möglicherweise einen
Fehlalarm aus. Es lag also nahe, die Bojen nicht nur als Relaisstation, sondern als
eigenständiges Messgerät zur Tsunami-Erfassung zu entwickeln. GFZ-Wissenschaftler
nutzten bereits GPS-Antennen auf Bojen zur Bestimmung von Seegang und Meereshöhen.
Im GITEWS findet dieses neuartige Verfahren nun auch Anwendung zur Erkennung von
Tsunami-Wellen, die im freien Ozean bei Laufgeschwindigkeiten von 800 km/h und
Wellenlängen von 200 Kilometern allerdings noch recht flach sind. Innovative Mess- und
Filterverfahren erlauben, den normalen Seegang auszublenden. Übrig bleibt eine
zentimetergenaue Erfassung des Meeresspiegelanstiegs und damit auch die frühzeitige
Erkennung eines Tsunami.
Von den geplanten 10 Bojensystemen sind derzeit 2 ausgebracht. Weitere 4 Bojen liegen
bereit zur Installation im Hafen von Jakarta.
Simulationen
Da das Sensornetz Daten jeweils nur an einigen wenigen Punkten liefert, werden
Simulationen benötigt, um ein ganzheitliches Lagebild zu synthetisieren. So können mit
Hilfe von Computermodellen zur Ermittlung von Ankunftszeiten und Wellenhöhen sowie
Informationen über die Besiedelungs- und Infrastruktur schnell Risikoabschätzungen
getroffen werden, welche die Warnentscheidung unterstützen.
Aufgrund der extrem kurzen Vorwarnzeit werden die Computersimulationen mit Hilfe der
neuartigen, auf unstrukturierten Dreiecksgittern basierenden Software TsunAWI
vorausberechnet. Diese am Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung
entwickelte Modellierung stellt die Wellenausbreitung und die Überflutung an Land in
bislang einmaliger Weise detailliert und präzise dar. Eine Vielzahl von Szenarien deckt die
möglichen Tsunami-Ereignisse ab, so dass im Ernstfall immer ein vorberechnetes Szenario
3. 3
derart exakt mit den Messdaten übereinstimmt, dass es als Beschreibung der realen Lage
dienen kann.
Die Datenbank, in der die eingehenden verschiedenartigen Messdaten mit mathematischen
Methoden bewertet und mit den Szenarien in Beziehung gesetzt werden (das sogenannte
Matching), stellt eine weltweite Innovation dar. Da sich Daten aus den verschiedenen
Messystemen ergänzen, kann innerhalb von Sekunden ein präzises Matching
vorgenommen und eine genaue Lagebeschreibung ermittelt werden. Die im Verlaufe eines
Tsunami-Ereignisses immer vollständigere und bessere Datenlage stabilisiert und
verfeinert die Lagebeschreibung kontinuierlich.
Warnzentrum und Entscheidungsunterstützung
Alle verfügbaten Daten, Informationen und Modellierungen fließen letztlich in einem
Entscheidungs-Unterstützungssystem (DSS= Decision Support System) zusammen. Das
Deutsche Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt DLR hat dieses System entwickelt, mit dessen
Hilfe entschieden wird, ob ein Tsunami-Alarm ausgelöst wird oder nicht.
Im DSS laufen alle Sensordaten zusammen, von hier aus werden alle Instrumente
kontrolliert und gesteuert und hier erfolgt die Synthese aller Daten mit den vorberechneten
Simulationen sowie die Erstellung der Warnmeldung. Der diensthabende Verantwortliche
kann sich auf der Basis der vorliegenden Informationen sehr schnell einen Überblick über
die Situation verschaffen und Entscheidungsvorschläge generieren. Das Lagebild wird
zusammen mit den Handlungsempfehlungen auf mehreren Monitoren angezeigt.
Das DSS ist auf den Einsatz im Krisenfall zugeschnitten und so gestaltet, dass auch unter
hohem Zeitdruck und Stress schnell und zuverlässig Entscheidungen getroffen werden
können. Umfangreiche Datenbanken halten neben allgemeinen Geodaten insbesondere
vorprozessierte Risikoinformationen und Gefährdungskarten bereit. Das hier aufgebaute
System ist konzeptionell und von der Komplexität mit keinem anderen System weltweit
vergleichbar.
GITEWS ist von Beginn als integrierendes System entwickelt worden, in das nicht nur die
Daten der deutschen Sensorsysteme, sondern auch die Sensordaten aus Indonesien und
den anderen Geberländer einlaufen. Daher basieren alle Schnittstellen zu den Sensor- und
Disseminationssystemen auf internationalen Standards, um ein vernetztes und gleichzeitig
offenes System zu gewährleisten.
Capacity Building
Für den technischen Betrieb, die Wartung des Instrumentariums und die
Weiterentwicklung des Systems müssen Wissenschaftler und technisches Personal aus-
und weitergebildet werden. Dieses geschieht bereits parallel zum Aufbau des Systems
durch Ausbildung von indonesischen Wissenschaftlern und Ingenieuren in Deutschland,
sowie durch vielfältige Trainingsprogramme in Indonesien zu verschiedenen
Teilkomponenten des Frühwarnsystems.
GITEWS arbeitet eng mit den für die Frühwarnung verantwortlichen Behörden
zusammen, um die Warnmeldungen in klare Entscheidungsgrundlagen,
Entscheidungshilfen und Handlungsanweisungen umzusetzen und diese bis an die
Bevölkerung in schnellstmöglicher Zeit weiter zu geben (Warn- und Reaktionskette).
Diese Schnittstelle ist entscheidend für ein Frühwarnsystems und stellt eine enorme
Herausforderung insbesondere für die Lokalregierungen auf Distriktebene dar, da die
Verantwortung hierfür in ihren Händen liegt. Im Rahmen der nationalen Zuständigkeiten
im Falle von Naturkatastrophen wurde in Indonesien begonnen, einen passenden
gesetzlichen Rahmen zu schaffen.
Die Einführung einer Tsunami-Frühwarnung auf der lokalen Ebene erfordert die
Entwicklung von Vorbereitungsplänen. Deren Entwicklung, insbesondere für
Ballungsgebiete wie Padang oder Süd-Bali, müssen auf wissenschaftlich fundierten
Risikoanalysen, aber auch auf politischen Abstimmungsprozessen basieren. Dazu gehören
auch Aktivitäten des Katastrophenschutzes und präventive Maßnahmen wie Baunormen
oder die Erstellung von Flächennutzungsplänen.
4. 4
Der wohl wichtigste Aspekt der Frühwarnung betrifft die eigentliche Zielgruppe der
Frühwarnung, nämlich die Bevölkerung in den gefährdeten Regionen. Damit bei den
extrem kurzen Frühwarnzeiten überhaupt wirksame Maßnahmen ergriffen werden
können, muss das Bewusstsein über die latente Gefährdung und mögliche präventive
Schutzmaßnahmen bei der Bevölkerung geweckt und gestärkt werden (Awareness),
und es muss dafür gesorgt werden, dass im Alarmfall die Bevölkerung die richtige
Reaktion zeigt (Preparedness). Dies wird durch regelmäßige Evakuierungsübungen und
Informationsveranstaltungen sowie durch die ständige Vermittlung des Sachverhalts im
Schulunterricht erreicht.
Internationales Konsortium
Für den Aufbau des Frühwarnsystems in Indonesien wurden verschiedene Kooperationen
zu anderen Geberländern, wie Japan, China, Frankreich und die USA, eingegangen, um
nicht nur die Daten der deutschen und indonesischen Komponenten zu integrieren,
sondern alle verfügbaren Sensoren. Zwar haben sich die deutschen Aktivitäten im
Wesentlichen auf Indonesien konzentriert, aber auch in den Anrainerstaaten Sri Lanka, den
Malediven, Jemen, Iran, Kenia, Tansania und Südafrika wurden bereits Komponenten und
Sensortechnik aufgebaut und Software installiert.
Die Integration des deutsch-indonesischen Beitrags und der Beiträge weiterer
Anrainerstaaten zu einem Gesamtsystem für den Indischen Ozean erfolgt unter der
Koordination der Zwischenstaatlichen Ozeanografischen Kommission (IOC) der UNESCO.
Zusätzlich gibt es Bestrebungen zum Aufbau eines globalen Frühwarnsystems an dem nicht
nur Arbeitsgruppen des Indischen Ozeans, sondern auch des NO-Atlantiks, des
Mittelmeeres, der Karibik und des Pazifischen Ozeans mitwirken.
Aufgaben in der jetzt beginnenden zweijährigen Optimierungsphase
Der Aufbau und Einsatz des komplexen GITEWS in einem tektonisch komplizierten Gebiet
war und ist wissenschaftlich, technisch und organisatorisch eine große Herausforderung. In
der nun folgenden zweijährigen Projektphase erfolgt der wichtige Schritt der
Systemoptimierung. „Alle Komponenten sind aufgebaut, auch wenn das Sensornetzwerk
noch weiter verdichtet werden muss“, sagt Reinhard Hüttl. „Erst im täglichen Betrieb zeigt
sich dann oft im Zusammenspiel der verschiedenen Komponenten, wo und wie noch etwas
justiert werden muss.“
Wie bei einem Schiffsneubau nach dem Stapellauf muss nun das Zusammenspiel der
Komponenten optimiert, das Betriebspersonal geschult und trainiert und auftretende
Probleme im Alltagsbetrieb behoben werden. Bislang sind Einzelkonponenten (so z.B. das
Erdbebenmodul) im vorläufigen Warnzentrum des BMG in Jakarta im Einsatz gewesen. Mit
der Fertigstellung eines Neubaus, dem erfolgten Einbau der notwendigen Kommunikations-
und Rechnerhardware und der Installation aller Softwarekomponenten in den letzten
Wochen, steht das System nun erstmals in seiner geplanten Form zur Verfügung.
Direkt nach der Katastrophe vom 26. Dezember 2004 erteilte die Bundesregierung der
Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft, verteten durch das Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam - Deutsches
GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ, den Auftrag zur Entwicklung und Implementierung eines
Frühwarnsystems für Tsunamis im Indischen Ozean. Die Mittel in Höhe von 45 Millionen
Euro stammen aus dem Beitrag der Bundesregierung im Rahmen der Flutopferhilfe.
Ein Naturereignis wie der Tsunami von 2004 kann nicht verhindert werden und solche
Katastrophen werden auch bei einem perfekt arbeitenden Alarmsystem weiterhin ihre
Opfer fordern. Aber die Auswirkungen einer solchen Naturkatastrophe können mit einem
Frühwarnsystem minimiert werden. Das ist das Ziel von GITEWS.
