To stimulate research on this promise and the limits thereof, in this article, we outline the challenges and opportunities of blockchain for business process management (BPM). We first reflect how blockchains could be used in the context of the established BPM lifecycle and second how they might become relevant beyond. We conclude our discourse with a summary of seven research directions for investigating the application of blockchain technology in the context of BPM.}, language = {en} } @article{BalderjahnPeyerSeegebarthetal.2018, author = {Balderjahn, Ingo and Peyer, Mathias and Seegebarth, Barbara and Wiedmann, Klaus-Peter and Weber, Anja}, title = {The many faces of sustainability-conscious consumers}, series = {Journal of Business Research}, volume = {91}, journal = {Journal of Business Research}, publisher = {Elsevier}, address = {New York}, issn = {0148-2963}, doi = {10.1016/j.jbusres.2018.05.022}, pages = {83 -- 93}, year = {2018}, abstract = {Responding to the global call for a "sustainable economy" requires meaningful insights into sustainability-conscious consumers and their actual buying behaviors. Sustainable consumption is not an all-or-nothing phenomenon because it encompasses several distinct behavioral patterns and consumption types. Therefore, companies are well advised to recognize multiple types of sustainability-conscious consumers with different expectations, attitudes, and values and to implement targeting strategies that do not rest on the assumption of homogeneity. Thus, the objective of this study is to provide a more fine-grained picture of (un)sustainable consumer segments and their differentiated effects in different product markets. Based on three large datasets, we create a robust six-segment typology of consumer consciousness regarding sustainable consumption. By using panel data on actual purchases, the results show not only that sustainability concerns significantly positively influence actual sustainable purchases, as expected, but also that sustainable buying can occur independently of sustainability concerns.}, language = {en} } @article{HeroldHoehleWalchetal.2008, author = {Herold, Birgit and H{\"o}hle, Barbara and Walch, Elisabeth and Weber, Tanja and Obladen, Michael}, title = {Impaired word stress pattern discrimination in very-low-birthweight infants during the first 6 months of life}, issn = {0012-1622}, doi = {10.1111/j.1469-8749.2008.03055.x}, year = {2008}, language = {en} } @article{EbertThomannWittetal.2016, author = {Ebert, Franziska and Thomann, Marlies and Witt, Barbara and M{\"u}ller, Sandra Marie and Meyer, S{\"o}ren and Weber, Till and Christmann, Markus and Schwerdtle, Tanja}, title = {Evaluating long-term cellular effects of the arsenic species thio-DMA(V): qPCR-based gene expression as screening tool}, series = {Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology}, volume = {37}, journal = {Journal of trace elements in medicine and biology}, publisher = {Yokohama Publishers}, address = {Jena}, issn = {0946-672X}, doi = {10.1016/j.jtemb.2016.06.004}, pages = {78 -- 84}, year = {2016}, abstract = {Thio-dimethylarsinic acid (thio-DMA(V)) is a human urinary metabolite of the class 1 human carcinogen inorganic arsenic as well as of arsenosugars. Thio-DMA(V) exerts strong cellular toxicity, whereas its toxic modes of action are not fully understood. For the first time, this study characterises the impact of a long-term (21 days) in vitro incubation of thio-DMA(V) on the expression of selected genes related to cell death, stress response, epigenetics and DNA repair. The observed upregulation of DNMT1 might be a cellular compensation to counterregulate the in a very recent study observed massive global DNA hypomethylation after chronic thio-DMAv incubation. Moreover, our data suggest that chronic exposure towards subcytotoxic, pico- to nanomolar concentrations of thio-DMA(V) causes a stress response in human urothelial cells. The upregulation of genes encoding for proteins of DNA repair (Apex1,Lig1, XRCC1,DDB2, XPG, ATR) as well as damage response (GADD45A, GADD45G, Trp53) indicate a potential genotoxic risk emanating from thio-DMA(V) after long-term incubation.

In a study complementary to these tomographic studies, we use array seismology and reflected waves to image a stagnant slab in the mantle transition zone. Using P and S (SH) waves we find a steeply dipping reflector centred at ca. 400 km depth and ca. 550 km west of the present Mariana subduction zone (at 20N, 140E). The discovery of this anomaly in tomography and independently in array seismology (this paper) helps in understanding the evolution of the Mariana margin. The reflector/stagnant slab may be the remains of the hypothetical North New Guinea Plate, which was theorized to have subducted ca. 50 Ma.}, language = {en} }
