In addition, uncertainties in knowledge must be named transparently; irrational fears and rumours must be refuted. Success factors for risk communication are the participation of citizens as well as the continuous recording of risk perception and risk competence in population groups. The current COVID-19 (corona virus disease 2019) pandemic poses specific challenges for risk communication. The state of knowledge on many important aspects concerning COVID-19 was and is often uncertain or preliminary, e.g. on transmission, symptoms, long-term effects and immunity. Communication is characterised by scientific language and an array of figures and statistics, which can render the content difficult to understand. Alongside the official announcements and statements by experts, COVID-19 is widely communicated on social media, spreading misinformation and speculation; this "infodemic" can complicate risk communication. Various national and international scientific projects will help tailor risk communication on COVID-19 to target groups and thereby render it more effective. These projects include explorative studies on how people deal with COVID-19-related information; the COVID-19 Snapshot Monitoring (COSMO) project, a regularly conducted online survey on risk perception and protective behaviour; and an interdisciplinary qualitative study that compares the design, implementation and effectiveness of risk communication strategies in four countries.}, language = {de} } @article{PawellekZiegeldorfWulff2022, author = {Pawellek, Sabine and Ziegeldorf, Alexandra and Wulff, Hagen}, title = {Strategien und Effekte digitaler Interventionen bei der {\"U}bergewichts- und Adipositastherapie von Kindern und Jugendlichen}, series = {Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz}, volume = {65}, journal = {Bundesgesundheitsblatt, Gesundheitsforschung, Gesundheitsschutz}, number = {5}, publisher = {Springer}, address = {Berlin ; Heidelberg}, issn = {1436-9990}, doi = {10.1007/s00103-022-03512-3}, pages = {624 -- 634}, year = {2022}, abstract = {Background Rising obesity prevalence in childhood and adolescence are characterized by unhealthy lifestyles such as low physical activity due to high media use. Recent studies use the accessibility of this target group through digital media, whereby technologies represent new approaches in the intervention design of weight reduction. However, the question arises as to which digital combinations and methodological program concepts condition effective body mass index (BMI) changes. Aim To gain insights into effective program design and media use; digital intervention strategies for BMI reduction in overweight and obese children and adolescents will be analyzed and evaluated. Methods A systematic review was conducted in the databases MEDLINE via PubMed, Science Direct, and Web of Science to analyze studies from 2016 to 2021 on changes in BMI and BMI z-score of overweight and obese 6- to 18-year-olds. Methodological study quality was assessed according to the Cochrane Risk of Bias guidelines. Results From 3974 studies, seven articles describing the use of fitness wristbands, smartphones, and computer-based programs were identified. All media achieved BMI reductions, with smartphone interventions via calls and messages causing the most significant changes. Discussion Smartphones as providers of digital programs (e.g., apps) offer effective approaches to obesity reduction. Based on the data, the selection and combination of several media as well as the relevance of family involvement and the methodological foundation of the measures are confirmed. Due to the young age of the participants, media interventions must be made accessible to the target group.}, language = {de} } @article{Franzke2021, author = {Franzke, Jochen}, title = {Integrating Immigrants: Capacities and Challenges for Local Authorities in Europe}, series = {Local Integration of Migrants Policy}, journal = {Local Integration of Migrants Policy}, publisher = {Palgrave Macmillan}, address = {Cham}, isbn = {978-3-030-50978-1}, issn = {2523-8248}, doi = {10.1007/978-3-030-50979-8_17}, pages = {311 -- 333}, year = {2021}, abstract = {This chapter focuses on the relationship between public opinion on migration and its media coverage. Different explanatory models, including individual characteristics, cultural factors and the impact of media and politics, have been proposed to explain public attitudes towards migrants. Understanding the local context is important, as the shares of migrants living in each region and city vary considerably. Providing correct statistical information, stressing the diversity of current migration patterns in Europe and taking part in media and public discussions are ways in which to impact public attitudes at the local level.}, language = {en} } @article{KamprathMietzner2015, author = {Kamprath, Martin and Mietzner, Dana}, title = {The impact of sectoral changes on individual competences: A reflective scenario-based approach in the creative industries}, series = {Technological forecasting \& social change}, volume = {95}, journal = {Technological forecasting \& social change}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, issn = {0040-1625}, doi = {10.1016/j.techfore.2015.01.011}, pages = {252 -- 275}, year = {2015}, abstract = {Many foresight studies concentrate on technological foresight and its impact at the organizational level. However, often these studies overlook the soft factor of employee competences which is critical to adopting technological and organizational changes and to developing the necessary innovation capabilities. This study investigates the theoretical and methodological underdeveloped relationship between technological innovation and social initiated change and the impact on individual competences in a dynamic sector. The setting of our study is the turbulent creative industries as a whole, where creative and artistic expression merges with changing technological progress. In a scenario study we mainly conducted in 2010, we developed a scenario model for competences to combine individual competences with a scenario approach to investigate how competences are important to the sector shift or need to be enhanced in the future. We use primary qualitative data from expert interviews and workshops and secondary data from industry reports to identify thirty-seven influence factors. An influence matrix calculation and a cluster analysis are used to project three different scenarios presenting how future developments of the creative industries will influence the competences needed for creative occupations. Now, five years later, we reflect the accuracy of the developed scenarios via a comparison of today's situation with the situation in the scenarios. We discuss theoretical contributions for the foresight literature and practical implementations for the future of work in general, and in particular for the creative industries case.
