Disinformation poses a significant threat to national security, particularly when it targets military and law enforcement personnel who can inadvertently amplify false narratives. This study investigates the role of attention in mitigating susceptibility to disinformation, focusing on members of the Czech armed forces and law enforcement agencies. Using a quasi-experimental survey design, participants were exposed to simulated disinformation in conjunction with attention checks. The results reveal that while attentiveness can reduce the perceived credibility and likelihood of sharing more obvious disinformation, its impact on more subtle forms is limited. Analysis suggests that attention alone is insufficient to combat the spread of false information, pointing to the need for comprehensive approaches that incorporate digital literacy, cognitive resilience, and algorithmic interventions. The findings underscore the importance of understanding cognitive vulnerabilities within security sectors and call for further research into holistic strategies for disinformation resilience.

Intelligent battery cells follow the approach of having greater knowledge of the single cell state in a battery system by sensors on cell level. The further-reaching approach of reconfigurable battery systems pursues the principle of controlling each cell in a system independently by switches to maximize power and safety of the whole battery system. In the literature, different approaches for sensing, communication and battery management functionality are proposed. However, less attention has been paid to the power loss of such intelligent cells and the resulting thermal effects. Especially for large prismatic cells in an automotive application the temperature is important for power, safety and life-time. Therefore, in this work, an intelligent cell prototype is realized based on a prismatic 25 Ah Li-ion cell. In addition, a 3D thermal model of the intelligent cell is developed and validated experimentally. The model is used to investigate the thermal behavior of an intelligent cell under automotive conditions in detail. The results reveal that an useful application with an temperature increase in the jelly roll of 3 K is only possible with a reduced power loss of the electronics and a well thought-out design for an intelligent cell.
