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.

„He, du frecher Wurm, das ist mein Blatt! Mein liebster Landeplatz.“ „Quatsch! Das Blatt kommt in meine Höhle. Ich werde es mampfen.“
Obwohl sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten, entwickelt sich zwischen Lilly-Libelle und Willy-Regenwurm eine dicke Freundschaft voller gemeinsamer Abenteuer … Diese ungewöhnliche Freundschaftsgeschichte ist mit viel Humor erzählt und mit fantasievollen dreidimensionalen Collagen der Künstlerin Anna Adam gestaltet. Das Buch macht zugleich neugierig auf aufregende Vorgänge in der Natur. Kann ein Regenwurm wirklich beides sein, weiblich und männlich? Und wie verwandelt sich eine im Wasser lebende Larve in eine fliegende Libelle?
Mathematical modelling and statistical inference provide a framework to evaluate different non-pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical interventions for the control of epidemics that has been widely used during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this paper, lessons learned from this and previous epidemics are used to highlight the challenges for future pandemic control. We consider the availability and use of data, as well as the need for correct parameterisation and calibration for different model frameworks. We discuss challenges that arise in describing and distinguishing between different interventions, within different modelling structures, and allowing both within and between host dynamics. We also highlight challenges in modelling the health economic and political aspects of interventions. Given the diversity of these challenges, a broad variety of interdisciplinary expertise is needed to address them, combining mathematical knowledge with biological and social insights, and including health economics and communication skills. Addressing these challenges for the future requires strong cross disciplinary collaboration together with close communication between scientists and policy makers.
Geodetic studies of crustal deformation using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS, earlier commonly referred to as Global Positioning System, GPS) measurements at CSIR-NGRI started in 1995 with the installation of a permanent GNSS station at CSIR-NGRI Hyderabad which later became an International GNSS Service (IGS) site. The CSIR-NGRI started expanding its GNSS networks after 2003 with more focussed studies through installation in the NE India, Himalayan arc, Andaman subduction zone, stable and failed rift regions of India plate. In each instance, these measurements helped in unravelling the geodynamics of the region and seismic hazard assessment, e.g., the discovery of a plate boundary fault in the Indo-Burmese wedge, rate and mode of strain accumulation and its spatial variation in the Garhwal-Kumaun and Kashmir region of the Himalayan arc, the influence of non-tectonic deformation on tectonic deformation in the Himalayan arc, nature of crustal deformation through earthquake cycle in the Andaman Sumatra subduction zone, and localised deformation in the intraplate region and across the paleo rift regions. Besides these, GNSS measurements initiated in the Antarctica region have helped in understanding the plate motion and influence of seasonal variations on deformation. Another important by-product of the GNSS observations is the capabilities of these observations in understanding the ionospheric variations due to earthquake processes and also due to solar eclipse. We summarize these outcomes in this article.

Off-road adventures

This article focuses on the visual qualities of Alexander von Humboldt’s statistical tables in his Political Essay on the Kingdom of New Spain (1808–1811, 2nd ed. 1825–1827) with special attention to how such composites of numbers, alphabetical script, and semiotic elements relate to narrative writing. I argue that Humboldt’s tables/tableaus open up spaces inside his narrative that fragment the reading process, inviting new conversations, connections, and ideas.
Die deutsch-kubanische Forschungs- und Digitalisierungsinitiative „Proyecto Humboldt Digital“ (ProHD) hat während ihrer Projektlaufzeit (2019–2023) wichtige Quellen zum Thema „Humboldt und Kuba“ erstmals digital erschlossen. Als Kooperation zwischen der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Oficina del Historiador de la Ciudad de La Habana hat ProHD damit wichtige Akzente für die Archivdigitalisierung, die digitale Editionsphilologie und die digitale Wissenschaftskommunikation in Kuba gesetzt. Das Korpus der erschlossenen Bestände wird hier in fünf Schlaglichtern vorgestellt: 1) Quellen zur Humboldt’schen Forschungsreise, 2) Juan Luis de la Cuesta, 3) Materialien zu Kuba aus dem Humboldt-Nachlass, 4) Zensur und Beschlagnahme des Essai politique sur l’île de Cuba, 5) Francisco de Arango y Parreño.
La traduction en langue chinoise du premier volume du monumental ouvrage scientifique d'Alexander von Humboldt, intitulé «Cosmos», a vu le jour en 2023 sous l՚égide de la prestigieuse maison d՚édition de l՚Université de Pékin. Dans sa postface éclairée, la traductrice émérite, Gao Hong, éclaire la lanterne des lecteurs chinois sur la fresque cosmique esquissée par Humboldt, révélant ainsi les intrications entre les phénomènes naturels et leur pertinence à l՚échelle de l'univers tout entier. Gao Hong narre son propre périple aux côtés de Humboldt, tout en distillant ses réflexions personnelles sur cette fresque cosmique. «Cosmos» d՚Humboldt, œuvre scientifique par excellence, transcende également les sphères esthétiques et artistiques, exprimant invariablement une profonde vénération pour l՚univers. Restituer en chinois la «beauté géométrique» de la langue allemande, empreinte d՚une rigueur structurelle, constitue un défi singulier, le chinois se caractérisant par sa fluidité, sa souplesse et sa poésie imagée, en totale antithèse avec l՚allemand. En qualité de traducteur, il importe de naviguer librement entre ces deux mondes linguistiques distincts.
Entrepreneurship education research has a strong “output” focus on impact studies but pays much less attention to the “inside” or process perspective of the way entrepreneurship education occurs. In particular, the scattered previous entrepreneurship curriculum research has not managed to provide a current and comprehensive overview of the curricular elements that constitute entrepreneurship education. To overcome this shortcoming, we aim to identify the teaching objectives, teaching contents, teaching methods, and assessment methods discussed in entrepreneurship curriculum research. To this end, we conducted a systematic literature review on the four entrepreneurship curriculum dimensions and collected all mentioned curriculum items. We used a two-stage coding procedure to find the genuinely entrepreneurship-specific items. Among numerous items (also from business management and other subjects), we found 26 objectives, 34 contents, 11 teaching methods, and 7 assessment methods that were entrepreneurship-specific. Most of these items were addressed by only a few scholarly papers.
