Dynamic managerial capabilities: lessons from non-profits in highly dynamic environments
No full textPurpose. Drawing on the concept of dynamic managerial capabilities, to propose a model that incorporates managerial human and social capital, and managerial cognition in the dynamic capabilities framework.
Design/Method/Approach. The study is an empirical in the context of the current conflict in the eastern Ukraine and is an analysis a non-profit field with an extremely high dynamic environment. The data was collected using a quantitative survey with 70 private corps, non-commissioned officers, and higher-ranked officers.
Findings. The model provides a direct relationship between dynamic capabilities and dynamic managerial capabilities, whereby the latter is constituted by the perceived manager’s competence (manager’s human capital), manager’s team (manager’s social capital), and manager’s goal congruence towards the goals of the organization (managerial cognition).
Theoretical implications. This paper expanded the body of research on dynamic managerial capabilities by developing the following arguments: (1) dynamic managerial capabilities directly influence organizational dynamic capabilities; (2) managerial social capital mediates relationships between managerial human capital and organizational dynamic capabilities; (3) managerial social capital mediates relationships between managerial cognition and organizational dynamic capabilities.
Originality/value. This research not only shows how a non-profit organization can act efficiently, it is also an example of an application of strategic management theory to a practical field with life or death consequences.
Research limitations/Future research. This research opens avenues for future research on dynamic capabilities in non-profit organizations.

The Role of Individual and Country Level Variables on Perceived Psychic Distance
No full textDespite increasing globalization and decreasing transportation costs, distance remains an essential element of international management. This work discusses different concepts of distance with a focus on individual level psychic distance. The inconsistency of previous psychic distance concepts, and therefore their operationalization, leads to a new framework to differentiate between levels of analysis of distance origins and objects. Possible individual level antecedents of psychic distance can be inert, trained, or experiential, while country level distance antecedents tend to be more stable. This work employs a quantitative study with a quasi-experiment, where respondents gave answers to distance perceptions and different possible antecedents at the beginning and end of a stay abroad. Results derived from different regression models show almost no effects of individual level variables on psychic distance, while country level distances have a strong influence on individual level psychic distance. Implications for research are a more concise concept of distance in international management and a thorough discussion of different kinds of distance antecedents. Empirical findings show counterintuitive effects for cultural backgrounds of respondents, which point to an affective and cognitive element of psychic distance. For management practice, distance should be considered as not only concerning the different levels of analysis and the possible different meanings of distance, but also in regards to how an organization can influence distance perceptions. Since experience and training have hardly any effect, the inert antecedents show that employment policies need to take a more active role.Trotz der zunehmenden Globalisierung und abnehmender Transportkosten bleibt Distanz ein zentraler Aspekt von Internationalem Management. Diese Arbeit diskutiert verschiedene Konzepte von Distanz mit einem Schwerpunkt auf Psychischer Distanz auf der individuellen Ebene. Die Uneinheitlichkeit früherer Konzepte und dadurch auch der Operationalisierung von Psychischer Distanz führen zu einer neuen Typologie, welche zwischen verschiedenen Analyseebenen von Distanzquellen und Distanzzielen differenziert. Die möglichen Einflüsse auf Psychische Distanz auf der individuellen Ebene können nach inerten, gelernten oder erfahrungsbezogenen Variablen unterschieden werden. Einflüsse auf der Länderebene dagegen tendieren dazu, stabil zu sein. Diese Arbeit beruht auf einer quantitativen Studie mit einem Quasi-Experiment, in welchem die Befragten sowohl am Anfang als auch am Ende eines Auslandsaufenthalts Angaben über ihre Wahrnehmung von Distanzen und mögliche Einflüsse darauf machten. Die Ergebnisse aus verschiedenen Regressionsmodellen zeigen kaum Effekte für unabhängige Variablen auf der individuellen Ebene, während Distanzen auf der Länderebene einen starken Einfluss auf die Psychische Distanz auf der individuellen Ebene haben. Implikationen für die Forschung sind ein präziseres Konzept von Distanz im Internationalen Management und eine ausführliche Diskussion von verschiedenen Einflüssen auf Distanz. Empirische Ergebnisse zeigen einen überraschenden Effekt der kulturellen Herkunft der Befragten, was darauf hinweist, dass es affektive und kognitive Aspekte von Psychischer Distanz geben kann. Für die Praxis zeigt sich, dass Distanz nicht nur auf verschiedenen Analyse- und Bedeutungsebenen berücksichtigt werden sollte, sondern auch in Bezug auf die Einwirkungsmöglichkeiten eines Unternehmens betrachtet werden muss. Da Erfahrungen und Lernen kaum einen Effekt haben, bedeutet die Rolle von inerten Einflüssen auf die Distanzwahrnehmung, dass in Bezug auf die Psychische Distanz von Individuen in Unternehmen Beschäftigungsstrategien eine größere Rolle spielen müssen

Martin Beradt Collection 1902 – 1988 Bulk dates: 1909 – 1965
No full textThe Martin Beradt Collection centers on letters and manuscripts from, about and to Martin Beradt and his wife Charlotte Beradt, née Aron. The first series consists of personal documents, which include the documents of US-citizenship of Martin Beradt, his school certificates and pictures of his parents as well as his autograph collection. The second series centers on the correspondence of Martin and Charlotte Beradt with publishers in Germany and later in the United States. Beradt tried to republish his work after the Nazis burnt his books in 1933. The third series holds manuscripts written by Martin Beradt himself. There are the early newspaper articles, which are focused on themes like youth and justice as well as short stories, which were influenced by his experiences during the First World War and his emigration in 1939. A lot of these essays refer to Jewish life in Berlin during the 1920s. The last series of this collection includes reports and reviews about Martin Beradt and his work. It collects clippings from important contemporary German newspapers and broadcast reports from the Westdeutscher Rundfunk/ WDR (West-German radio station).II Autographs A-Z: letters and postcards to Martin Beradt by Hermann Bahr, Hermann Bang, Oskar Bie, Max Brod, Constantin Brunner, Martin Buber, Arthur Eloesser, S.

Helga CronerThe author and lawyer Martin Beradt was born in Magdeburg on August, 26th 1881. In 1892 his family moved to Berlin. Beradt studied law in Berlin, Munich and Heidelberg. He received a doctorate from the university of Freiburg (Breisgau) in 1906. His first book "Go" was published three years later. Since 1911 Beradt worked as a lawyer in Berlin. He was a co-founder and syndic of the "Schutzverband deutscher Schriftsteller" (association for the protection of German writers). In 1933 Beradt was expelled from the bar association because he was Jewish. The Nazis burned his books and banned them. In 1938 Beradt married Charlotte Aron (1907 – 1986). One year later the couple immigrated to New York via London. In New York Beradt's wife earned a living as a hairdresser. Martin Beradt tried to find a new publisher, but he was not successful. He died in New York, on November 26th, 1949. After his death Charlotte Beradt found some publishers who reissued the work of her husband.6-page inventory.Several of Martin Beradt’s published books are held in the LBI Library.Photograph removed to Photograph CollectionProcesseddigitize
DiProMag Ontology
No full text<h1>DiProMagOntology</h1>
<h2>Project Description</h2>
<p>This ontology encompasses the semantic modeling of the entire process chain, including production, characterization, and prototypical application. </p>
<p>As part of the <a href="https://www.dipromag.de">DiProMag</a> project, a novel approach for ontology engineering with <a href="https://ottr.xyz">OTTR</a> templates was developed. </p>
<p>You can find the developed OTTR templates, OTTR instances holding real data, alongside the DiProMag ontology in this repository. </p>
<p>The ontology can be created by instantiating the OTTR templates. The results of the instantiation can be found in <code>instances/*</code>. We have reduced the output to the T-Box you can find in <code>dipromag.ttl</code> with the Perl script <code>extract-tbox.pl</code>. The T-Box merged with the metadata leads to <code>dmco.ttl</code>.</p>
<p>The documentation for using the templates can be found in <code>doc_manual</code>. The automatically generated OTTR documentation can be found in <code>doc</code>.</p>
<p>The OTTR documentation can be generated by running the following commands: <code>java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=docttrLibrary -o ./doc/ --debugStackTrace</code>, </p>
<p>Generate ttl files: <code>java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=formatLibrary -o ./lib_ttl/ --debugStackTrace</code><br>Generate individual stOTTR files: <code>java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library --fetchMissing --mode=formatLibrary -o ./lib_stottr/ --debugStackTrace -O=stottr</code></p>
<h2><br>Usage</h2>
<p>Install <a href="https://gitlab.com/ottr/lutra/lutra">Lutra</a> according to the official documentation and place the jar file inside the root folder of this repository or use the provided jar file. </p>
<p><strong>Instantiate templates</strong> (real data collected through experiments during DiProMag): <br><code>java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library/ --fetchMissing --inputFormat stottr instances/*</code></p>
<p><strong>Run instantiation unit tests</strong> (random data): <br><code>java -jar lutra.jar --library template_library/ --fetchMissing --inputFormat stottr unit_tests/*</code></p>
<p>The resulting T-Box can be found in <code>dmco-tbox.ttl</code>, metadata in <code>metadata.ttl</code>, and an ontology generated through template calls with real data in <code>dipromag.ttl</code>. </p>

Genetic association study of QT interval highlights role for calcium signaling pathways in myocardial repolarization.
No full textThe QT interval, an electrocardiographic measure reflecting myocardial repolarization, is a heritable trait. QT prolongation is a risk factor for ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD) and could indicate the presence of the potentially lethal mendelian long-QT syndrome (LQTS). Using a genome-wide association and replication study in up to 100,000 individuals, we identified 35 common variant loci associated with QT interval that collectively explain ∼8-10% of QT-interval variation and highlight the importance of calcium regulation in myocardial repolarization. Rare variant analysis of 6 new QT interval-associated loci in 298 unrelated probands with LQTS identified coding variants not found in controls but of uncertain causality and therefore requiring validation. Several newly identified loci encode proteins that physically interact with other recognized repolarization proteins. Our integration of common variant association, expression and orthogonal protein-protein interaction screens provides new insights into cardiac electrophysiology and identifies new candidate genes for ventricular arrhythmias, LQTS and SCD
