It thereby criticizes global welfare egalitarians that promote the abolition of national sovereignty over resources in the name of increased equality. The paper discusses two ways in which land and resource rights contribute to decolonization and the eradication of the associated inequality. First, it proposes that land and resource rights have acquired a status-conferring function for (formerly) colonized peoples so that possession of full personhood and relational equality is partially expressed through the possession of land and resource rights. Second, it suggests that successful internal decolonization depends on access to and control over land and resources, especially for indigenous peoples.}, language = {en} } @article{Carstens2021, author = {Carstens, Nora}, title = {Digitalisation Labs}, series = {German Politics}, volume = {30}, journal = {German Politics}, number = {1}, publisher = {Taylor and Francis}, address = {London}, issn = {1743-8993}, doi = {10.1080/09644008.2021.1887851}, pages = {18}, year = {2021}, abstract = {The federal system has long been seen as one of the biggest obstacles to the digital transformation of the German state. With the enactment of the Online Access Act (OZG), a law that obliges all federal levels to offer their administrative services digitally in a joint portal network by the end of 2022, a new arena for multilevel collaboration has developed in Germany; the so-called digitalisation labs. The labs are intended to bring together representatives of all federal levels, external actors and citizens to promote problem-oriented policy design and the development of innovative policy solutions. Following a neo-institutionalist perspective and using the analytical concepts of multilevel governance and problem-solving, this paper investigates how the institutional settings, internal dynamics and actors' composition influence policy design processes in the labs. The empirical analysis is built on a qualitative case study of two digitalisation labs in the policy field 'Immigration and Emigration', and based on ten expert interviews as well as an extensive document analysis. The paper concludes that, by promoting problem-solving, the institutional settings as well as the organisational design and actors' constellations have influenced the policy design process in several ways.}, language = {en} } @article{PenningMueller2021, author = {Penning, Isabelle and M{\"u}ller, Heike}, title = {Consumer education}, series = {SchoolEducationGateway}, journal = {SchoolEducationGateway}, editor = {SchoolEducationGateway.

However, creative processes constitute highly flexible process elements, as new and unforeseeable outcome is developed. This presents a challenge for modeling languages. Current methods representing creative-intensive work are rather less able to capture creative specifics which are relevant to successfully run and manage these processes. We outline the concept of creative-intensive processes and present an example from a game design process in order to derive critical process aspects relevant for its modeling. Six aspects are detected, with first and foremost: process flexibility, as well as temporal uncertainty, experience, types of creative problems, phases of the creative process and individual criteria. By first analyzing what aspects of creative work modeling notations already cover, we further discuss which modeling extensions need to be developed to better represent creativity within business processes. We argue that a proper representation of creative work would not just improve the management of those processes, but can further enable process actors to more efficiently run these creative processes and adjust them to better fit to the creative needs.}, language = {en} } @incollection{RiedererFritschSeewann2021, author = {Riederer, Bernhard Edwin and Fritsch, Nina-Sophie and Seewann, Lena}, title = {Singles in the city}, series = {Vienna Yearbook of Population Research}, volume = {19}, booktitle = {Vienna Yearbook of Population Research}, number = {1}, publisher = {Austrian Academy of Sciences Press}, address = {Vienna}, issn = {1728-5305}, doi = {10.1553/populationyearbook2021.res3.2}, pages = {319 -- 353}, year = {2021}, abstract = {More people than ever are living in cities, and in these cities, more and more people are living alone. Using the example of Vienna, this paper investigates the subjective well-being of single households in the city. Previous research has identified positive and negative aspects of living alone (e.g., increased freedom vs. missing social embeddedness). We compare single households with other household types using data from the Viennese Quality of Life Survey (1995-2018). In our analysis, we consider overall life satisfaction as well as selected dimensions of subjective wellbeing (i.e., housing, financial situation, main activity, family, social contacts, leisure time). Our findings show that the subjective well-being of single households in Vienna is high and quite stable over time. While single households are found to have lower life satisfaction than two-adult households, this result is mainly explained by singles reporting lower satisfaction with family life. Compared to households with children, singles are more satisfied with their financial situation, leisure time and housing, which helps to offset the negative consequences of missing family ties (in particular with regard to single parents).}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{RuedianHaasePinkwart2021, author = {R{\"u}dian, Sylvio Leo and Haase, Jennifer and Pinkwart, Niels}, title = {The relation of convergent thinking and trace data in an online course}, series = {Die 19.

This is an under-utilized attribute that could be used for adapting online courses according to the creativity level to enhance the motivation of learners. Therefore, we used the logfile data of a 60 minutes Moodle course with N=128 learners, combined with the Remote Associates Test (RAT). We explored the trace data and found a weak correlation between interactive tasks and the RAT score, which was the highest considering the overall dataset. We trained a Random Forest Regressor to predict convergent thinking based on the trace data and analyzed the feature importance. The result has shown that the interactive tasks have the highest importance in prediction, but the accuracy is very low. We discuss the potential for personalizing online courses and address further steps to improve the applicability.}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{Brinkmann2021, author = {Brinkmann, Maik}, title = {Relevance of public administrations}, series = {Proceedings of the 54th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 2021}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 54th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences 2021}, publisher = {University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa}, address = {Honolulu, HI}, isbn = {978-0-9981331-4-0}, doi = {10.24251/HICSS.2021.285}, pages = {10}, year = {2021}, abstract = {Power relations within the area of blockchain governance are complex by definition and a comprehensive analysis that links technological and institutional elements is missing to date. The research that is presented with this article focuses on the visualization of the shifting power relations with the introduction of blockchain. For this purpose, the analysis leverages an adjusted version of the multi-stakeholder influence mapping tool. The analysis considers the various stakeholders within the multi-layered blockchain technology stack and compares three fundamental blockchain scenarios, including public and private blockchain settings. The findings show that public administrations face indeed less power with the introduction of blockchain, while new stakeholders come into play who wield influence rather uncontrolled. Nonetheless, public administrations are not powerless overall and remain influential stakeholders. This paper concludes that blockchain governance is not as democratic as blockchain enthusiasts tend to argue and derives corresponding opportunities for further research.}, language = {en} }
