Knowledge Management Essentials
No full textReflecting on the history and development of the knowledge management discipline from an academic and applied research perspective, this chapter will outline the KM essentials as core of the discipline and open questions to be addressed in the future. Secondly, the author will discuss in particular the role of KM within organizational practice in regard to the overall societal challenges all organizations are facing today globally. Thirdly, the chapter will provide an outlook of the discipline in the light of future developments and suggests some research topics to be addressed by interdisciplinary KM research in the future. Beside on drawing on more than 35 years of experience in the KM field, this contribution will profit from previous research undertaken on the future of KM (2002 and 2012), contributions to guidelines and standards for KM (e.g., CEN, DIN, ISO), as well as from working with European Fortune 500 companies over the past 25 years
Kulturpolitik zwischen den Gewalten
No full textDie Rolle der Rechnungshöfe in der Kulturpolitik und die Auswirkungen ihrer Prüfungen auf die Kulturarbeit sind im deutschsprachigen Raum weitestgehend unerforscht. In der BRD übernehmen sowohl der Bundes- als auch die Landesrechnungshöfe die Funktion, das Finanzgebaren der öffentlichen Verwaltung und konkret ihre Haushalts- und Wirtschaftsführung zu kontrollieren. Ihre Prüftätigkeit beeinflusst die Politikgestaltung auch im öffentlichen Kultursektor. Der Aufsatz analysiert die veröffentlichten Prüfungen der bundesdeutschen Landesrechnungshöfe im öffentlichen Kultursektor im Zeitraum von 2011 bis 2021
From shock to shift
No full textWe present a multi-dimensional, multi-level, and multi-channel approach to data visualization for the purpose of constructive climate journalism. Data visualization has assumed a central role in environmental journalism and is often used in data stories to convey the dramatic consequences of climate change and other ecological crises. However, the emphasis on the catastrophic impacts of climate change tends to induce feelings of fear, anxiety, and apathy in readers. Climate mitigation, adaptation, and protection—all highly urgent in the face of the climate crisis—are at risk of being overlooked. These topics are more difficult to communicate as they are hard to convey on varying levels of locality, involve multiple interconnected sectors, and need to be mediated across various channels from the printed newspaper to social media platforms. So far, there has been little research on data visualization to enhance affective engagement with data about climate protection as part of solution-oriented reporting of climate change. With this research we characterize the unique challenges of constructive climate journalism for data visualization and share findings from a research and design study in collaboration with a national newspaper in Germany. Using the affordances and aesthetics of travel postcards, we present Klimakarten, a data journalism project on the progress of climate protection at multiple spatial scales (from national to local), across five key sectors (agriculture, buildings, energy, mobility, and waste), and for print and online use. The findings from quantitative and qualitative analysis of reader feedback confirm our overall approach and suggest implications for future work
Prior action direction of a novel agent cues spatial atention in 7-month-old infants
No full textThe present study investigated whether 7-month-old infants attribute directionality to an object after having observed it engage in agentive behavior and whether they maintain this attribution even when the agent is presented statically. Infants were familiarized with an object displaying either agentive behavioral cues (self-propelled, context-sensitive movement) or non-agentive motion (the same movement pattern caused by external factors). In a subsequent spatial-cueing procedure, the agent was displayed statically at the center of the screen. Gaze latencies were assessed for targets appearing at a location congruent or incongruent with the position of the agent’s formerly leading end. Only infants that had observed the object move in an agentive manner showed shorter gaze latencies for congruent compared to incongruent targets, suggesting facilitation of attention toward a location congruent with the agent’s prior action direction. Results provide evidence that infants attribute directionality to novel agents based on behavioral agency cues, that this directional representation is maintained even when the agent is stationary, and that it guides infants’ covert attention
Open-Access-Kostenmonitoring : Landesreport von Brandenburg wird Daten aus der Deutschen Bibliotheksstatistik einbeziehen
No full textDie vorliegende Publikation beschäftigt sich mit dem Thema des Open Access Monitorings in Brandenburg. Durch die Open-Access-Strategie des Landes Brandenburg aus dem Jahr 2019 bekamen die Hochschulbibliotheken den Auftrag, ihre Open-Access-Aktivitäten auf Publikationsebene zu monitoren. Die Vernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg koordiniert zusammen mit der AG Open Access Monitoring (Brandenburg) die Erarbeitung und Durchführung eins landesweites Open Access Monitoring.
Außerdem wird die Möglichkeit der Datenauswertung der Deutschen Bibliotheksstatistik (DBS) zum Zweck der Anreicherung des Open Access Monitorings erläutert und eine Auswertung des Datenfeldes 151.1 auf nationaler Ebene angestellt
Is targeting the solution? Evidence from an experiment on radon risk communication
No full textWhile prolonged exposure to radon is one of the most significant risk factors for lung cancer, public awareness and willingness to mitigate the risk are typically low, even in regions with high radon concentrations. Given this, it has been voiced that health protection agencies should follow a more targeted risk communication approach (Perko & Turcanu, 2020). While targeted and tailored risk communication approaches have been shown to be successful, especially regarding so-called lifestyle risks (smoking, unhealthy diet, etc.), the effects of targeted radon risk communication from a health protection agency perspective have not been analyzed thus far. To this end, we conducted an online experiment. Four web pages were created targeting four stakeholder groups: (1) tenants and (2) house owners in municipalities with high radon concentrations, (3) tenants and (4) house owners in areas adjacent to municipalities with high radon concentrations. The content of the web pages was designed based on the German Federal Office for Radiation Protection’s (BfS) materials. Participants (n = 293 valid cases) were randomly assigned either to the experimental or control group. We assessed differences between the stakeholder groups regarding information comprehension, risk perception, behavioral intention, perceived efficacy of measures against radon, and (personal) uncertainty regarding radon. In a MANOVA including all five dependent variables, the null hypothesis that there are no differences regarding these variables between the stakeholder groups could not be rejected (Wilk’s Λ = 0.9980, p = .99). Given an achieved statistical power of 1-β = .93 for effects of medium size according to Cohen, it is quite unlikely that medium or large effects can be achieved by targeting risk communication to the stakeholder groups described above, given our data. As the statistical power to detect small effects was low (1-β = .21), these cannot be precluded. Potential reasons for this finding and implications for risk communication practice are discussed
Attitudinal effects of data visualizations and illustrations in data stories
No full textJournalism has become more data-driven and inherently visual in recent years. Photographs, illustrations, infographics, data visualizations, and general images help convey complex topics to a wide audience. The way that visual artifacts influence how readers form an opinion beyond the text is an important issue to research, but there are few works about this topic. In this context, we research the persuasive, emotional and memorable dimensions of data visualizations and illustrations in journalistic storytelling for long-form articles. We conducted a user study and compared the effects which data visualizations and illustrations have on changing attitude towards a presented topic. While visual representations are usually studied along one dimension, in this experimental study, we explore the effects on readers' attitudes along three: persuasion, emotion, and information retention. By comparing different versions of the same article, we observe how attitudes differ based on the visual stimuli present, and how they are perceived when combined. Results indicate that the narrative using only data visualization elicits a stronger emotional impact than illustration-only visual support, as well as a significant change in the initial attitude about the topic. Our findings contribute to a growing body of literature on how visual artifacts may be used to inform and influence public opinion and debate. We present ideas for future work to generalize the results beyond the domain studied, the water crisis
Antisemitismus als Aufgabe für die Schulsozialarbeit : Expert_innen im Gespräch
No full textAntisemitismus wird in der Schulsozialarbeit und im Studium der Sozialen Arbeit zu wenig thematisiert. Das Buch zeigt mithilfe von Antisemitismus-Expert_innen Wege und Strategien auf, um das zu ändern. In den einzelnen Beiträgen wird es immer wieder deutlich: Antisemitismus muss in der Schule wie auch in anderen gesellschaftlichen Bereichen wahrgenommen, erkannt und bekämpft werden. Dafür benötigen wir in der Sozialen Arbeit das nötige Wissen und Können, aber auch eine antisemitismuskritische Haltung. Der internationale Ethikkodex und das daraus entwickelte Konzept Diskriminierungskritische Soziale Arbeit fordern uns auf, Strategien aus dem Konzept »Social Justice und Diversity« der Policy Practice auch in Bezug auf Antisemitismus umzusetzen
