TY - JOUR A1 - Kablau, Arne A1 - Berg, Stefan A1 - Rutschmann, Benjamin A1 - Scheiner, Ricarda T1 - Short-term hyperthermia at larval age reduces sucrose responsiveness of adult honeybees and can increase life span JF - Apidologie N2 - Honeybees are very sensitive to their breeding temperature. Even slightly lower temperatures during larval development can significantly affect adult behavior. Several devices which are employed for killing the honeybee ectoparasite Varroa destructor rely on short-term hyperthermia in the honeybee hive. The device used here applies 43.7 °C for 2 h, which is highly effective in killing the mites. We study how short-term hyperthermia affects worker brood and behavior of emerging adult bees. Sucrose responsiveness was strongly reduced after treatment of larvae early or late of larval development. Hyperthermia significantly enhanced life span, particularly in bees receiving treated early in larval development. To ask whether increased life span correlated with foraging performance, we used radio frequency identification (RFID). Onset and offset of foraging behavior as well as foraging trip duration and lifetime foraging effort were unaffected by hyperthermia treatment as prepupa.

Our work contributes to this by investigating important aspects that have so far received little attention in scientific literature. We therefore perform three studies about three important aspects of managing RFID implementations. We evaluate in our first study customer acceptance of pervasive retail systems using privacy calculus theory. The results of our study reveal the most important aspects a retailer has to consider when implementing pervasive retail systems. In our second study we analyze RFID-enabled robotic inventory taking with the help of a simulation model. The results show that retailers should implement robotic inventory taking if the accuracy rates of the robots are as high as the robots’ manufacturers claim. In our third and last study we evaluate the potentials of RFID data for supporting managerial decision making. We propose three novel methods in order to extract useful information from RFID data and propose a generic information extraction process. Our work is geared towards practitioners who want to improve their RFID-enabled processes and towards scientists conducting RFID-based research. N2 - Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem Management von RFID Implementierungen im Einzelhandel. Dabei leistet die Arbeit einen Beitrag, indem wichtige aber bisher in der wissenschaftlichen Fachliteratur nur wenig beachtete Aspekte beleuchtet werden. Hierfür werden drei Studien zu drei relevanten Managementaspekten durchgeführt. Zunächst wird die Kundenakzeptanz im Bezug auf pervasive Retail Applikationen betrachtet und mithilfe der Privacy Calculus Theorie ermittelt, welche Aspekte für die Kundenakzeptanz pervasiver Systeme besonders relevant sind. In Studie zwei wird eine RFID-gestützte Roboterinvnetur anhand einer Simulationsstudie evaluiert. Die Studie zeigt, dass eine durch Roboter durchgeführte Inventur für einen Einzelhändler zu empfehlen ist, falls die Roboter tatsächlich mit den von den Herstellern beworbenen Erkennungsraten arbeiten. In der dritten und letzten Studie werden die Potenziale von RFID-Daten zur Entscheidungsunterstützung des Managements evaluiert. Es werden drei Methoden vorgestellt um aus RFID-Daten nützliche Informationen zu gewinnen. Abschließend wird ein generisches Vorgehensmodell zur Informationsextraktion entwickelt. Die Arbeit ist sowohl an Praktiker gerichtet, die ihre RFID-basierten Prozesse verbessern möchten, als auch an Wissenschaftler die RFID-basierte Forschung betreiben.

With the growth of RFID implementations in size and scope comes a shift away from infrastructural aspects to the question of how to draw value from the large amounts of collected data. However, the necessary procedures for the handling of massive RFID data sets are still an under-researched issue. Against this background, the study presents results from a real-world trial conducted by a large apparel retailer. The objective of the trial was to explore the opportunities for generating novel performance indicators and reports on the reality of store processes and customer behavior on the sales floor. We give an overview of the algorithms used for RFID data processing and the interpretation of the resulting insights from a practitioner’s point of view. The case example thus provides an overview of the potential of RFID as a powerful tool for assortment optimization, customer research, store layout design, and other management tasks in retail.

The investigation was motivated by previous experiments that suggested the existence of an unspecific defense mechanism causing a generalized change of flight behavior after the onset of different diseases. This mechanism is thought to impede the ability of flight bees to return to their respective colonies thereby removing the disease from the colony over time. During the last years, the existence of such a “suicidal behavior” was supported by further studies. Thus, an unnoticed, potentially highly effective defense mechanism of social insects was revealed whose spectrum of activity and physiological basics require further investigation. Suggesting that the reaction by the bees is unspecific to different diseases as well as to other potential stress factors, this study was designed to investigate the influence of pathogens, insecticides, and different brood rearing temperatures on different parameters like lifespan, foraging activity, and foraging trip duration of worker bees. N2 - Im Rahmen dieser Studie wurden Untersuchungen bezüglich der Auswirkungen von unterschiedlichen Belastungsfaktoren auf die Honigbiene Apis mellifera durchgeführt. Hintergrund waren Vermutungen, die nahe legten, dass Bienen auf Parasiten und Pathogene durch eine generalisierte Verhaltensänderung reagieren, die die Rückkehr der Bienen in das Volk behindert und damit Krankheit nach und nach aus dem Volk entfernt. Die Existenz eines solchen „suizidalen Verhaltens“ wurde zwischenzeitlich durch weitere Untersuchungen unterstützt. Hiermit wurde ein bislang unbeachteter und potentiell hochwirksamer Abwehrmechanismus sozialer Insekten gegen Pathogene und Parasiten aufgedeckt, dessen Wirkspektrum und physiologische Grundlagen noch erheblichen Aufklärungsbedarf haben. Es lag nun nahe, eine allgemeine und unspezifische Reaktion auf Stressfaktoren zu vermuten. In dieser Studie sollte daher der Einfluss von Pathogenen, Insektiziden sowie unterschiedlichen Brutaufzuchtbedingungen auf die Aktivität, das Flugverhalten und das Sammelverhalten messbar gemacht und untersucht werden.
