TY - JOUR A1 - Marienfeldt, Justine A1 - Wehmeier, Liz Marla A1 - Kuhlmann, Sabine T1 - Top-down or bottom-up digital transformation? BT - a comparison of institutional changes and outcomes JF - Public money & management N2 - This article analyses incremental institutional change and subsequent organizational and performance outcomes of the digital transformation from a comparative perspective. Through 31 expert interviews, the authors compare two digitalized public services in Germany. Two digitalization approaches are identified. The voluntary, decentralized bottom-up approach involves layering of new rules, limited organizational restructuring, and performance deficits. Conversely, the compulsory, top-down approach with centralized control facilitates displacement of existing rules and far-reaching organizational change; in this study, it is also associated with improved performance.

Ein Empfehlungsbrief Alexander von Humboldts für Carl Ludwig JF - HiN : Alexander von Humboldt im Netz ; International Review for Humboldtian Studies N2 - In dem Aufsatz wird ein Brief erstmalig veröffentlicht, in dem Alexander von Humboldt im Jahr 1849 bei einem Minister der liberalen Regierung von Kurhessen die Verdienste eines an der Universität in Marburg lehrenden jungen Professors hervorhob. Die Rede ist hier von dem später durch bahnbrechende Entdeckungen berühmten Physiologen Carl Ludwig. Vermittelt wurde das Schreiben durch den Humboldt nahestehenden Mediziner und Physiologen Emil du Bois-Reymond. Der Empfehlungsbrief, mit dem Humboldt versuchte, Ludwigs finanzielle Situation zu verbessern, ist ein Beispiel für die Förderung junger Forscher wie auch freier wissenschaftlicher Institutionen durch Humboldt. N2 - A letter from Alexander von Humboldt to a minister in the liberal government of the Electorate of Hesse is published here for the first time. In this letter from 1849, Humboldt praised the achievements of a young professor at the University of Marburg: Carl Ludwig, now famous for his groundbreaking discoveries in physiology. Humboldt’s friend and colleague, Emil du Bois-Reymond, had facilitated the contact between Ludwig and Humboldt. The letter of recommendation, with which Humboldt sought to help improve Ludwig’s financial situation, is an example of how Humboldt promoted the work of young scientists and independent scientific institutions. N2 - En el ensayo se publica por primera vez una carta en la que Alexander von Humboldt, en 1849, enfatizaba los méritos de un joven profesor que enseñaba en la Universidad de Marburg a un ministro del gobierno liberal de Hesse. Estamos hablando del fisiólogo Carl Ludwig, que más tarde se hizo famoso por sus descubrimientos innovadores. La carta fue mediada por el médico y fisiólogo Emil du Bois-Reymond, cercano a Humboldt. La carta de recomendación con la que Humboldt intentó mejorar la situación financiera de Ludwig es un ejemplo del apoyo de Humboldt a los jóvenes investigadores y a las instituciones científicas independientes.

The behavioral aspect of the metaverse includes user engagement and deviant behaviors in the metaverse. Such technology has brought various dangers to individuals and society. There are growing cases reported of sexual abuse, racism, harassment, hate speech, and bullying because of online disinhibition make us feel more relaxed. This study responded to the literature call by investigating the effect of technical and social features through mediating roles of security and privacy on deviant behaviors in the metaverse. The data collected from virtual network users reached 1121 respondents. Partial Least Squares based structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) were used. PLS-SEM results revealed that social features such as user-to-user interaction, homophily, social ties, and social identity, and technical design such as immersive experience and invisibility significantly affect users’ deviant behavior in the metaverse. The fsQCA results provided insights into the multiple causal solutions and configurations. This study is exceptional because it provided decisive results by understanding the deviant behavior of users based on the symmetrical and asymmetrical approach to virtual networks.

A1 - Grum, Marcus A1 - Gronau, Norbert A1 - Kluge, Annette T1 - The roots of errors in adaptive performance BT - clustering behavioral patterns after the introduction of a change JF - Journal of workplace learning N2 - Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate work-related adaptive performance from a longitudinal process perspective. This paper clustered specific behavioral patterns following the introduction of a change and related them to retentivity as an individual cognitive ability. In addition, this paper investigated whether the occurrence of adaptation errors varied depending on the type of change content. Design/methodology/approach Data from 35 participants collected in the simulated manufacturing environment of a Research and Application Center Industry 4.0 (RACI) were analyzed. The participants were required to learn and train a manufacturing process in the RACI and through an online training program. At a second measurement point in the RACI, specific manufacturing steps were subject to change and participants had to adapt their task execution. Adaptive performance was evaluated by counting the adaptation errors. Findings The participants showed one of the following behavioral patterns: (1) no adaptation errors, (2) few adaptation errors, (3) repeated adaptation errors regarding the same actions, or (4) many adaptation errors distributed over many different actions. The latter ones had a very low retentivity compared to the other groups. Most of the adaptation errors were made when new actions were added to the manufacturing process. Originality/value Our study adds empirical research on adaptive performance and its underlying processes. It contributes to a detailed understanding of different behaviors in change situations and derives implications for organizational change management.

However, a portfolio of CDR options is necessary to reduce risks and potential negative side effects. Despite a large theoretical potential, ocean-based CDR such as ocean alkalinity enhancement (OAE) has been omitted in climate change mitigation scenarios so far. In this study, we provide a techno-economic assessment of large-scale OAE using hydrated lime ('ocean liming'). We address key uncertainties that determine the overall cost of ocean liming (OL) such as the CO2 uptake efficiency per unit of material, distribution strategies avoiding carbonate precipitation which would compromise efficiency, and technology availability (e.g., solar calciners). We find that at economic costs of 130–295 $/tCO2 net-removed, ocean liming could be a competitive CDR option which could make a significant contribution towards the Paris climate target. As the techno-economic assessment identified no showstoppers, we argue for more research on ecosystem impacts, governance, monitoring, reporting, and verification, and technology development and assessment to determine whether ocean liming and other OAE should be considered as part of a broader CDR portfolio.

BT - eine empirisch-vergleichende Analyse von Literaturpreisen im deutschsprachigen Raum BT - an empirical and comparative analysis of literary awards in German-speaking countries JF - Zeitschrift für Literaturwissenschaft und Linguistik N2 - Wir nehmen eine vergleichende Untersuchung der Nominierten und Preisträger:innen von sieben Buchpreisen im deutschsprachigen Raum vor, die mit einer vorab veröffentlichten Long- und/oder Shortlist arbeiten. Dazu vergleichen wir die Preise in Bezug auf soziodemographische Faktoren der Autor:innen (Geschlecht, Alter und Muttersprache), deren Bekanntheit zum Zeitpunkt der Nominierung (Aufrufe auf Wikipedia), die Anzahl vorheriger Nominierungen der Autor:innen für den gleichen Buchpreis, die ›Qualität‹ der ausgezeichneten Bücher (Anzahl der Rezensionen des nominierten Buches, positive bzw. negative Beurteilung in Rezensionen sowie die Einigkeit der Rezensent:innen darüber), das Ansehen der Verlage und die Geschlechterzusammensetzung der Jurys. Der Analysezeitraum umfasst 15 Jahre. Unser Datensatz beinhaltet Informationen zu 428 Autor:innen mit insgesamt 627 zwischen den Jahren 2005 und 2020 nominierten Büchern und 2.469 Rezensionen zu diesen Büchern. Der Datensatz wurde mittels mehrerer Methoden (z. B. Web-Scraping, Hand-Kodierung, Expert:innenbewertungen) aus verschiedenen Quellen (z. B. Web-Daten, Bibliothekskataloge, Expert:innenbewertungen) zusammengestellt. Auf diese Weise können wir unter anderem zeigen, dass für alle untersuchten Preise überwiegend deutsche Muttersprachler:innen mit gut rezensierten Büchern aus renommierten Verlagen nominiert werden und die Preise gewinnen. N2 - We undertake a comparative study of the nominees and winners of seven book awards in German-speaking countries that use a pre-published longlist and/or shortlist. To do this, we compare the awards in terms of the authors’ socio-demographic factors (gender, age, and native language), their prominence at the time of nomination (views on Wikipedia), the number of the authors’ previous nominations for the same book award, the ›quality‹ of the winning books (number of reviews of the nominated book, positive or negative assessment in reviews, and the reviewers’ unanimity about it), the reputation of the publishers, and the gender composition of the juries. The time period of analysis is 15 years. Our dataset includes information on 428 authors with a total of 627 nominated books and 2,469 reviews of these books. The dataset was compiled using several methods (e.g., web scraping, hand coding, expert reviews) from different sources (e.g., web data, library catalogs, expert reviews). This allows us to show, among other things, that for all the prizes studied, mostly German native speakers with well-reviewed books from reputable publishers are nominated and win the prizes.
