Virtuelles Arbeiten, Führung auf Distanz
(2022-11-10)
Seit inzwischen mehr als drei Jahrzehnten haben sich im Zuge der Digitalisierung völlig neue, virtuelle Kommunikationsformen herausgebildet. Vieles ist Wirklichkeit geworden, was zuvor im Bereich der Sciencefiction angesiedelt schien. Die Etablierung der digitalen Kommunikationsmedien bedeutet dabei nicht nur die Erschließung zusätzlicher Kommunikationskanäle. Es handelt sich nicht nur um veränderte Formen und Wege des Realitätszugangs. Durch die Verschränkung der analogen mit der virtuellen Welt entsteht etwas völlig ...

Two sorts of natural history: On a central concept in critical theory and ethical naturalism
(2022-06-13)
The concept of natural history has received a great deal of attention in contemporary practical philosophy, especially as a result of Michael Thompson's concept of natural-historical judgments which aims to explain the normativity of the human life-form. With this concept, the norms effective in a life-form are understood as something natural and constitutive for that life-form. Although Thompson does not present a historical-philosophical model, he claims to be able to determine the normativity of the historically ...

Antecedents to the Adoption of Mobile Payment in China and Italy: an Integration of UTAUT2 and Innovation Resistance Theory
(2022-01-22)
This research aims to investigate the adoption gap in mobile payment systems between Italy and China, focusing on users’ intention to adopt mobile payment. The theoretical framing considers both drivers and barriers when combines the unified theory of acceptance and use of technology 2 (UTAUT2) with innovation resistance theory (IRT). To empirically verify the proposed model, this study gathers primary data through a web-based, self-administered survey. To analyze the data, we use structural equation modeling, and ...

A comparison of online and live training of livestock farmers for an on-farm self-assessment of animal welfare
(2022-11-14)
One approach to strengthening the involvement of farmers or stockpersons in the evaluation and improvement of animal welfare is the implementation of an on-farm self-assessment. A valid comparison of the results with reference values, between or within farms, requires that training of the farmers and reliability testing have taken place. We investigated two different training methods (online vs. live) with a total of 146 livestock farmers from farms with dairy cows and calves, beef cattle, sows and suckling piglets, ...

Shearographic Detection of Internal Defects in Austenitic Stainless Steels
(2022-12-28)
Despite the formation of a passive layer, corrosion also occurs in austenitic stainless steels. One of the most common and most dangerous types is pitting corrosion, in which the material beneath the surface is completely dissolved. Since this type of corrosion only produces small holes on the surface, it is difficult to detect without nondestructive testing. This paper presents induction-excited shearography as an optical, nondestructive testing method for quick inspection of inner defects and corrosion. The ...

Does Ego Depletion Elicit Stronger Cues of Deception?
(2022-12-27)
Lying is cognitively demanding and presumably requires self-regulation. According to ego depletion theory, a task that requires self-regulation should therefore impair an individual’s ability to tell a convincing lie in a later task. Consequently, it was hypothesized that a manipulation of ego depletion would enhance behavioral differences between liars and truth-tellers. To manipulate ego depletion, participants worked (vs. did not work) on a task in which they had to suppress dominant responses while copying a text. ...

On Non-linear Characterizations of Classical Orthogonal Polynomials
(2022-12-03)
Classical orthogonal polynomials are known to satisfy seven equivalent properties, namely the Pearson equation for the linear functional, the second-order differential/difference/q-differential/ divided-difference equation, the orthogonality of the derivatives, the Rodrigues formula, two types of structure relations, and the Riccati equation for the formal Stieltjes function. In this work, following previous work by Kil et al., we state and prove a non-linear characterization result for classical orthogonal polynomials ...

Constraints and prospects of utilising mountain pastures in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan
(2022-09-23)
In the mountain regions of northern Pakistan, pasture-based animal husbandry is a substantial element of people’s livelihood. To study the implications of herding strategies on rangeland utilization patterns, individual interviews with 90 herders and 10 group interviews with five to eight herders per group, respectively, were conducted in three valleys each of Pakistan’s Gilgit-Baltistan region. Data collection targeted number and species of animals kept, livestock management practices and seasonal pasture use and ...

The potential of metabarcoding plant components of Malaise trap samples to enhance knowledge of plant-insect interactions
(2022-07-22)
The worldwide rapid declines in insect and plant abundance and diversity that have occurred in the past decades have gained public attention and demand for political actions to counteract these declines are growing. Rapid large-scale biomonitoring can aid in observing these changes and provide information for decisions for land management and species protection. Malaise traps have long been used for insect sampling and when insects are captured in these traps, they carry traces of plants they have visited on the body ...

Extended Reality in Marketing - A Multiple Case Study on Internet of Things Platforms
(2022-05-27)
This research highlights how cloud platform as a service technologies host extended reality technologies and convergent technologies in integrated solutions. It was only around 2019 that scholarly literature conceptualized the role of extended reality, that is, augmented reality, virtual reality, and mixed reality, in the marketing function. This article is a multiple case study on the leading eleven platform as a service vendors. They provide the programming technology required to host software as a service in the ...
