The supplement of the digital: Aesthetics and communication
No full text‘Communication’ is the basic concept of an aesthetic media theory and, under the title ‘communication aesthetics’, is particularly suitable for defining a capacity of that phenomenon that also describes a holistic experience of so-called digitality in a new way. In the passage through this concept of communication, ‘communication aesthetics’ is therefore also the basic term for studies of digital media cultures and is used here as an example to determine the relevant phenomena of mediality, materiality and the contemporary technological body practices associated with them. ‘Aesthetics of communication’ is then also the title word for the sought-after answer to the question of whether the speech of transfer between different arts as ekphrastic representation acquires a significance of its own that cannot be decomposed by unconditionally necessary and, as a rule, even more important reflection on its effects. The essay examines how both sides of the term – the ‘aesthetic’ and the ‘communicative’ – can be discussed in order to reflect on their connection, especially against the background of the implications of the digital per se. In the first part, the contrasts that determine this conceptual construction are analyzed using an example of media culture in order to read them as the basic definitions of a dialectical concept of the ‘communicative-aesthetic’. Against this background, the second part of the essay deals with the related ‘communication-aesthetic’ practices that could be used as the ingredients and objects of a genuine interdisciplinary media theory
The Burden of Administrative Household Labor—Measuring Temporal Workload, Mental Workload, and Satisfaction
No full textThis research paper investigates the temporal and mental workload as well as work satisfaction regarding bureaucratic, administrative household labor, with a focus on socio-demographic differences. The study utilizes a paid online survey with 617 socio-demographically distributed participants. The results show significant differences in the temporal workload of different chore categories and in the quality of work, whereby satisfaction and mental workload are examined. In addition, the influences of gender, age, and education are analyzed, revealing differences in temporal and mental workload as well as work satisfaction. Our findings confirm prevailing literature showing that women have lower work satisfaction and a higher workload. In addition, we also discovered that younger people and groups of people with higher incomes have a higher level of satisfaction and a higher workload. In our study, a perceived high mental workload does not necessarily go hand in hand with a low level of satisfaction. This study contributes to the understanding of the bureaucratic burden on adults in their households and the variety of activities to manage private life

No full textZur ethischen Evaluation von Technologien am Beispiel von ChatGPT
No full textIn den anwendungsorientierten, alltagsnahen und praxisbezogenen Bereichsethiken wie etwa der Technik-, Medizin- und Pflegeethik steht die ethische Reflexion und kritische Einschätzung von Sachverhalten, Handlungsoptionen und -mitteln auf der Tagesordnung. So hat etwa insbesondere in der Ethikberatung sowie im Rahmen der Durchführung und Moderation ethischer Fallbesprechungen im Gesundheitssektor und in der Sozialen Arbeit das Modell von Tom L. Beauchamp und James F. Childress (2009), das auf den vier Prinzipien der Autonomie, Fürsorge, Nichtschaden und Gerechtigkeit baut, Tradition. Mit Blick auf eine ethische Bewertung von Technologien v.a. für die Medizin, Therapie und Pflege erlangte das MEESTAR-Modell (Manzeschke et al. 2013; Weber 2015) eine gewisse Bekanntheit. Schließlich lässt sich noch das am Institut Mensch, Ethik und Wissenschaft (IMEW) entwickelte und vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung geförderte Projekt FreTiP – Fragen zur ethischen Reflexion von digitalen Technologien in der Pflegepraxis (Grüber et al. 2023) als aktuelles Beispiel für ein solches Evaluationsmodell anführen
Wirtschaftsinformatik: Basiswissen für BWL-Studierende
No full textDas Fach Wirtschaftsinformatik gilt als etabliertes Kernelement der betriebswirtschaftlichen Ausbildung. Es hat im Zuge der Digitalisierung vieler Lebensbereiche neue Impulse erhalten und erfordert ein Ausbildungskonzept, das den Lebenswelten der aktuelle Generation entspricht.
Viele Studentinnen und Studenten der BWL kommen bereits mit fundierten Kenntnissen in der Nutzung von Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologie in die Grundlagenvorlesungen der Wirtschaftsinformatik. Häufig fehlen aber Kenntnisse aus der Berufspraxis (Ausbildung, Praktika), welche für die Wirtschaftsinformatik als angewandte Wissenschaft essentiell sind.
Hier setzt das Buch an und erklärt den Lehrstoff möglichst anschaulich am Beispiel eines Start Up Unternehmens, welches von einer Gruppe von Hochschulabsolventinnen und -Absolventen gegründet wird und nach und nach mit Informationstechnikthemen in Berührung kommt.
Ausgehend von der Unternehmensgründung werden die Phasen des wachsenden Unternehmens durchlaufen und hieran die (meist prüfungs-)relevanten Inhalte der Wirtschaftsinformatik erklärt.

The social consequences of climate change: a qualitative analysis of early girl child marriage as an informal adaptation strategy among rural communities in Northern Ghana
No full textFarming communities confronted with climate change adopt formal and informal adaptation strategies to mitigate the effects of climate change. While the environmental and social effects of climate change are well documented, there is still a dearth of literature on girl-child marriage (formal marriage or informal union between a child under the age of 18 and an adult or another child) as a response to the effects of climate change. In this research, we ask if girl-child marriage is promoted as a social protection mechanism first, rather than as simply a response to climate-induced poverty. We use qualitative semi-structured interviews and focus group discussions to explore this question in a rural farming community in Northern Ghana. Our findings reveal that climate change shocks result in poverty and compel farmers to marry off their young daughters. The unmarried girl-child is perceived as an ‘extra mouth to feed’, a liability whose marriage becomes a strategy for protecting the family, the family’s reputation, and the girl child. The emphasis in girl-child marriage is not on the girl-child as an individual but on the family as a group. Hence, what is good for the family is assumed to be in the best interest of the girl-child. We place our analysis at the intersection of climate change, social protection, and the incidence of girl-child marriages. We argue that understanding this link is crucial and can contribute significantly to our knowledge of girl-child marriage as well as our ability to address this in Sub-Saharan Africa
