A systematic literature review of performance measurement systems and the integration of ESG factors
No full textThis Systematic Literature Review (SLR) investigates the integration of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors into corporate Performance Measurement Systems. Based on an analysis of 61 peer-reviewed articles from the Web of Science and Business Source Ultimate databases, the review addresses three central research questions: (1) What is the current state of the literature on Sustainable Performance Measurement? (2) Which ESG factors can be integrated into a Sustainable Performance Measurement System for companies to maximize information output while minimizing the number of required factors? (3) How can ESG factors be measured to contribute to improvements and long-term sustainability value creation for corporations?
The analysis reveals a marked and sustained rise in scholarly attention to Sustainable Performance Measurement between 2004 and 2024, with the number of publications more than doubling between the periods 2014–2017 and 2018–2021. While most studies consider all three ESG dimensions, environmental factors receive the most attention—frequently alongside governance and, to a lesser extent, social aspects such as working conditions, diversity, and stakeholder impact.
This review synthesizes major developments in the field, including the design of individual frameworks, decision support models, and composite indexes for ESG performance assessment. It identifies the most relevant ESG components for inclusion in PMSs and critically evaluates how these factors are currently measured, offering insights into their practical contribution to corporate performance improvement
Integrating Conjoint and Maximum Difference Scaling Data
No full textCustomer preferences for product features play an important role in designing successful goods and services. Preferences for features are typically obtained by utilizing a model of choice where the utility for all but one level of an attribute is estimable. That is, the traditional discrete choice model can provide information on the change in utility between attribute-levels, but cannot separately estimate the utility associated with all levels of an attribute. In this paper, we propose a model that integrates conjoint and Maximum Difference scaling data to identify part-worth utilities for all product features, using the outside good as a common reference level, instead of the usual practice of having a reference level for each product attribute. The preference data are also integrated with satisfaction data to identify market opportunities for new and existing products. We illustrate our model with data from a survey measuring customer satisfaction and preferences for large-screen TVs
Efficacy of cognitive behavioral therapies with a trauma focus for posttraumatic stress disorder : an individual participant data meta-analysis
No full textObjective: This individual participant data meta-analysis aimed to investigate the effectiveness of cognitive behavioral therapy with a trauma focus (CBT-TF) for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Furthermore, we examined the effect of moderators on PTSD symptom severity.
Method: This study included randomized controlled trials comparing CBT-TF to an inactive or active comparison group for adults with PTSD. The primary and secondary outcomes were PTSD symptom severity and remission, respectively. Moderators included sociodemographic and clinical variables.
Results: Twelve studies compared CBT-TF with inactive (n = 625) and 11 with active comparison conditions (n = 706). The one-stage individual participant data meta-analysis found that CBT-TF was more effective than inactive comparison conditions (β = -0.78; OR = 2.34) and not significantly different from active comparison conditions (β = 0.02; OR = 0.53) in reducing PTSD symptom severity and achieving PTSD remission, respectively. When comparing CBT-TF with inactive treatments, moderator analysis found that divorced participants had greater PTSD symptoms postintervention following CBT-TF than participants who were single, cohabitating, or married receiving CBT-TF, both in the completer (β = 0.93) and full-sample (β = 0.59) analyses. For the active treatment comparison, moderator analysis found that participants taking psychotropic medication had lower PTSD symptoms following CBT-TF than those not taking psychotropic medication in the completer analysis (β = -0.39).
Conclusion: Based on our moderator analyses, further research is needed to understand the effect of psychotropic medication on the CBT-TF intervention process. Moreover, divorced participants with PTSD receiving CBT-TF might benefit from enhanced support
A national evaluation of the implementation of guideline recommendations towards antibiotic prophylaxis prior to percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy and jejunostomy tube placement
No full textPsychiatric and psychological brief psychotherapy for chronic alcoholism
No full textBrief Psychiatric Psychotherapy (PKP) for alcohol dependence covers all the important evidence-based therapeutic strategies for treating alcoholism. It can be used in individual and group settings. The PKP manual is a safe guide that helps to master even difficult passages of treatment. The therapy consists of three pillars (modules) - symptom therapy, skills training and replacing the dysfunctional overriding rule with a new permission-giving rule of life as an elegant way of dealing with therapeutic resistance in addiction. The evaluation shows encouraging interim results
Psychiatric & psychological brief psychotherapy PKP for depression : an empirical outcome study
No full textThis paper reports on a field study comparing depression treatment with Psychiatric and Psychological Brief Psychotherapy (PKP) with a waiting list control group. The theoretical and research background of PKP is the assumption that psychological symptoms in general and depression in particular can be interpreted behaviourally as avoidance behaviour: In a very difficult interpersonal situation, people refrain from defensively asserting their own interests. In order for this avoidance to succeed, feelings such as anger, rage or sadness must be consistently suppressed. This is only possible with the help of symptom formation. The aim of therapy is therefore to make these feelings accessible again by carrying out emotion exposures. PKP is a modular psychotherapy in which the goal and approach are individually tailored to the personal problems of each patient. Work was carried out in 24 weekly sessions with consultation and therapy cards. The therapy culminated in 6 four-weekly maintenance therapy sessions. There were highly significant improvements with good to very good effect sizes. Only a few patients required conversion to long-term therapy. The catamnesis after a further 6 months showed stable therapeutic success
Playing Place – on digital games, spatiality, and hegemonic play
No full textPlaying Place entwickelt eine relationale Perspektive auf die Entstehung von Räumlichkeit im digitalen Spiel. An der Schnittstelle von amerikanischer Kulturwissenschaft und Game Studies angesiedelt, stellt es formalistische und statische Vorstellungen von Raum und Ort in Frage, indem es die prozessualen, affektbasierten, und verkörperten Aspekte von Spielpraktiken hervorhebt. Über die Metapher des "playing place" stellt das Projekt die relationalen, räumlich produktiven und heterogenetischen Qualitäten von Spiel-Ensembles in den Vordergrund. Seine gleichzeitige Kritik an der anthropozentrischen Subjektivität klassischer Spieltheorien einerseits und der Tendenz der Game Studies, das Spielen primär als fügsam oder instrumentell zu denken, andererseits zielt auf eine affirmative und zugleich kritische Perspektive auf Spielformen und Spielpartner.
Die daraus resultierende Annäherung an die Medialität des digitalen Spielens widmet sich der Erforschung und Hinterfragung dominanter Räumlichkeiten und hegemonialer Formen des Spielens in drei Fallstudien. Eine breite Auswahl aktueller Titel wird als diskursives kulturelles Terrain analysiert, in dem ant/agonistische, extraktivistische, und mentale Räumlichkeiten im digitalen Spiel hervorgebracht und verhandelt werden.
Die drei kapitelbasierten Fallstudien befassen sich mit den rassifizierten/rassistischen Konnotationen der Ghul-Figur in der Fallout Reihe, mit neoliberalen und kolonialen Extraktivismen in Farming-Spielpraktiken anhand von Animal Crossing: New Horizons und Conan Exiles, sowie mit gegenhegemonialen Praktiken aktueller Indie-Games im Kontext psychischer Gesundheit. Während "playing place" das Spiel als vitale Kraft soziokultureller Räumlichkeitsproduktion neu würdigt, problematisiert es zugleich seine nicht-unschuldigen, hegemonialen Ausformungen im weiteren Spiel von Politik und Kultur
Was ist Journalismus? : Standards und Strukturen als Abgrenzungskriterien
No full textDie Grenzziehung zwischen Journalismus und Nicht-Journalismus ist in der digitalen Öffentlichkeit schwierig geworden – aufgrund von Entgrenzungen im Journalismus selbst, vor allem aber weil viele verschiedene Akteur:innen daran arbeiten, die Grenze zu verwischen, um mit Desinformation und Pseudojournalismus ihre politischen und wirtschaftlichen Interessen durchzusetzen. Der Beitrag geht zur Definition von Journalismus in drei Schritten vor: Auf Basis der Theorie von Öffentlichkeit in der liberalen Demokratie wird zunächst begründet, wozu es überhaupt Journalismus mit seiner Sonderrolle in einer digitalen Medienwelt braucht, in der Journalismus seine Exklusivität und Gatekeeper-Funktion verloren hat. Die Definition von Journalismus gründet auf seinen Standards und die ihn ermöglichenden Strukturen. Schließlich werden fünf Abgrenzungskriterien diskutiert und anhand von Beispielen die Schwierigkeit einer eindeutigen Grenzziehung aufgezeigt: Gegenwartsbezug, Faktizität, Vielfalt, Unabhängigkeit und Professionalität. Als Konsequenz wird alten und neuen Akteur:innen des Journalismus empfohlen, nicht nur die Standards zu sichern, sondern auch öffentlich transparent über ihre Strukturen zur Sicherung von Qualität und Unabhängigkeit zu reden und diese nachzuweisen, um die Sichtbarkeit des Journalismus und das Vertrauen in ihn zu stärken
