    Ní Dhúill C, Spitzbart A, Wachter C, Windhager F, Mayer S. ‘To Bring Them into Dialog’: A Conversation about Life Narrative and the Digital. European Journal of Life Writing. 2025;14:LD165-LD183.This conversation, which originally formed part of the two-day workshop-and-conference “Life Narrative and the Digital 2023” at the Austrian Academy of Sciences in Vienna, brings together historians, literary and auto/biography scholars, and digital humanists to address the intersections of life-narrative scholarship and digital humanities. They offer different disciplinary perspectives on the possibilities and challenges posed by the increasing prevalence of digital tools and methods in auto/biographical research and practice and jointly explore the following questions: How will digital technologies and methods shape the future of auto/biography studies as a field? How can theoretical concepts from traditional life-narrative research enrich the field of digital humanities? How can the divide between traditional and digital humanities be overcome? Pointing out opportunities as well as problem areas, the exchange opens up new pathways towards a fruitful, critical, and, ultimately, mutually enriching disciplinary dialogue between life-narrative research ad digital humanities

    Service Design Thinking and social Organizations. Social Organizations as a source of social innovations and the role of Service Design Thinking

    Diese Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit sozialwirtschaftlichen Organisationen als Entstehungsort für soziale Innovationen und der Rolle von Service Design Thinking. Ziel der Arbeit ist es, eine theoretische Grundlage mit den Begrifflichkeiten soziale Innovation und Sozialwirtschaft zu schaffen. Es sollen Denkanstöße gegeben werden, wie ein innovationsförderliches Umfeld beschaffen sein soll und welche Rahmenbedingungen Organisationen bereitstellen können. Die Arbeit möchte der Leserin/ dem Leser einen fundierten Einblick in die Kernprinzipien des Service Design Thinking und dessen Anwendungsbereich in der Entwicklung von sozialen Dienstleistungen geben. Durch die Forschung wird der Frage nachgegangen, inwiefern sozialwirtschaftliche Organisationen ein Entstehungsort für soziale Innovationen sein können und wie sich das konkrete Arbeiten an innovativen Ideen gestaltet. Der Fokus liegt auf dem methodischen Vorgehen und der Rolle von Service Design Thinking. Um Daten aus der Praxis zu erheben, hat die Autorin leitfadengestützte Expert*inneninterviews durchgeführt und diese mit Hilfe der qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass sozialwirtschaftliche Organisationen ein wichtiger Entstehungsort für soziale Innovationen sind. Die Organisationen müssen, um ihr Innovationspotential gut auszuschöpfen zu können, Rahmenbedingungen schaffen, damit Arbeiten an sozialen Innovationen ermöglicht wird. Sie sollen sich intern und extern besser vernetzen und sich methodisch gut ausstatten. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auch, dass für das Entwickeln neuer Dienstleistungen ein systematischer und strukturierter Ablauf, gefüttert mit zahlreichen Methoden wichtig ist. Die Klient*innenperspektive muss konsequent eingebracht werden. Offenheit, Freiräume, und eine gewisse Fehlerkultur sind Voraussetzung für Kreativprozesse. Service Design Thinking schafft nicht nur hilfreiche Rahmenbedingungen, um Ideen zu generieren und Innovationsprozesse zu durchlaufen, sondern hat auch den Nebeneffekt durch gewisse Arbeitssettings strukturelle und kulturelle Veränderungen anzustoßen.This thesis deals with socio-economic organizations as a place of origin for social innovations and the role of Service Design Thinking. The aim of the work is to create a theoretical basis with the terms social innovation and social economy. Food for thought should be given as to how an innovation friendly environment should look like and what framework conditions organizations can provide. The thesis would like to give the reader a profound insight into the core principles of Service Design Thinking and its scope in the development of social services. The research investigates the extent to which socio-economic organizations can be a place of origin for social innovations and how concrete work on innovative ideas is shaped. The focus is on the methodical approach and the role of Service Design Thinking. In order to collect data from practice, the author carried out guideline-based expert interviews and evaluated them with the help of the qualitative content analysis according to Mayring. The results show that social- economic organizations are an important source of social innovation. In order to fully take advantage of their innovation potential, the organizations must create framework conditions so that work on social innovations is made possible. They should network better internally and externally and be methodologically well equipped. The results also show that a systematic and structured process, fed with numerous methods, is important for developing new services. The client's perspective must be brought in consistently. Openness, freedom and a certain error culture are prerequisites for creative processes. Service Design Thinking not only creates helpful framework conditions for generating ideas and going through innovation processes, but also has the side effect of initiating structural and cultural changes through certain work settings.vorgelegt von: Sonja SpitzbartWien, FH Campus Wien, Masterarb., 202

    ATLAS and CMS searches for third generation SUSY particles

    Searches for supersymmetric partners of the top and bottom quark (top and bottom squark) in a variety of final states are presented. The ATLAS and CMS collaborations have published a large range of results using the respective proton-proton collision data at 13 TeV collected during the LHC Run 2. No significant deviations from the expected SM background rates are observed. Stringent constraints on top and bottom squark masses have been placed, reaching up to 1.3 TeV for some simplified models with a massless lightest neutralino (LSP). These limits are decreased for models with smaller mass splitting between the third generation squarks and the LSP as well as models involving cascade decays or R-parity violating couplings. Interpretations in terms of leptoquark or simplified dark matter models highlight the impact of these results beyond SUSY models.Recent highlights of searches for supersymmetric partners of the top and bottom quark (top and bottom squark) in a variety of final states are presented.

    (YSF) Search for top squarks and dark matter particles in opposite-charge dilepton final states at CMS

    No full text
    A search for new physics is presented in final states with two oppositely charged leptons, jets identified as originating from b quarks, and missing transverse momentum using 35.9/fb of CMS data recorded in 2016. Hypothetical signal events are efficiently separated from the dominant top quark pair background with requirements on missing transverse momentum and transverse mass variables, the latter reducing the background by four orders of magnitude. No significant deviation is observed from the expected background. The results are interpreted in terms of simplified models of pair produced scalar partners of top quarks (top squarks), as predicted by supersymmetric models. Exclusion limits reach up to top squark masses of 1.3 TeV for specific model assumptions. Additionally, pair production of dark matter particles via scalar or pseudoscalar mediators is tested, and the analysis provides exclusions of scalar mediators with masses below 100 GeV
