On the track of human errors - Procedure and results of an innovative assembly planning method
(2018-03-07)
Manual assembly operations are the endmost place of the production process and with it represent a melting pot for organizational, time-related and qualitative errors of manufacturing. Because competitive advantages are increasingly determined in the manual assembly, the creation of economical and reliable work steps is of fundamental importance for future business success. For that reason, at the institute of the authors, a procedure has been developed to use the knowledge of the Expert System for Task Taxonomy that ...

Goal realization: An empirically based comparison between English, German and Greek
(2018)
Drawing upon recent insights into the role of Goal preference as reflector of cross-linguistic differences, this paper investigates the factors affecting the realization of Goals in motion event descriptions. In particular, it examines the interplay between the lexicalization pattern of a language, on the one hand, and grammatical viewpoint aspect, on the other – factors which have commonly been treated in isolation. In so doing, three typologically distinct languages were examined: English, German and Greek. The ...

How digitalization changes the internationalization of entrepreneurial firms: theoretical considerations and empirical evidence
(2018)
The internationalization of firms has mainly been analyzed and explained by considering observations in a pre-digital business environment. Thus, the applicability of the internationalization theories to digital ways of conducting business needs to be challenged. Recent research on the internationalization of digital firms attempts to adapt existing international business literature to the digital market. However, these studies consider internet-based companies predominantly as a homogeneous group. It is a popular ...

Symbolic versus non-symbolic magnitude estimations among children and adults
(2014-07-30)
The ability of children and adults to generate symbolic and non-symbolic magnitude estimations was examined in the light of their familiarity with numbers. Children (6-year-old kindergartners, 7-year-old first graders, and 9-year-old third graders) and adults made symbolic estimations either by saying number words that matched numbers of dots (i.e., perception task) or by generating numbers of dots that matched given number words (i.e., production task). In the non-symbolic estimation task, participants generated the ...

“Reasonable Accommodation” and “Accessibility”: Human Rights Instruments Relating to Inclusion and Exclusion in the Labor Market
(2016-01-06)
Ableism is a powerful social force that causes persons with disabilities to suffer exclusion. The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) is based on the human rights principles of equality and freedom for all people. This Convention contains two human rights instruments: the principle of accessibility and the means of reasonable accommodation, which can be used to protect the human rights of disabled persons. The extent to which they are used depends on whether the state implements the ...

Ereigniskonzeptualisierung im Zweitspracherwerb - Thinking for Speaking im Vergleich von Muttersprachlern und Lernern
(2013)
The grammatical categories of our language can influence how we concep-tualize situations and events (Slobin 1996). A variety of studies have investigated the influence of grammatical aspect on event conceptualization and found language-specific perspectivation strategies (Stutterheim 2012): Speakers of languages with grammaticized aspect preferentially focus on dynamic event components, while speakers of non-aspect languages conceptualize events holistically by including an inferable resultant state in their ...

Semantic congruency and the (reversed) Colavita effect in children and adults
(2016)
When presented with auditory, visual, or bimodal audiovisual stimuli in a discrimination task, adults tend to ignore the auditory component in bimodal stimuli and respond to the visual component only (i.e., Colavita visual dominance effect). The same is true for older children, whereas young children are dominated by the auditory component of bimodal audiovisual stimuli. This suggests a change of sensory dominance during childhood. The aim of the current study was to investigate, in three experimental conditions, ...

Partizipation - ein Querschnittsanliegen der UN-Behindertenrechtskonvention
(2010-12)
Die UN-Konvention über die Rechte von Menschen mit Behinderungen thematisiert Partizipation auf vielfältige Art und Weise und versteht Partizipation als Querschnittsanliegen. Sie verpflichtet den Staat rechtlich zur Umsetzung der Konvention und damit zur Partizipation behinderter Menschen; von der Zivilgesellschaft erwartet sie, Menschen mit Behinderungen Partizipation zu eröffnen.

Gottesliebe – Menschenliebe
(2015)
Kann menschliche Liebe in ihrer kulturellen Bedingtheit und dem Wandel unterworfen sowie in ihrer so häufig erfahrenen Brüchigkeit als Metapher für die Liebe Gottes zur Welt und zum Menschen dienen? Was könnte das konstante Element in der Liebe sein, das auch in theologischer Rede sinnvoll zeitlos gültig und dennoch menschlichen Erfahrungen angemessen von der Liebe Gottes künden kann? Diesen drängenden Fragen geht die Autorin nach und findet in der Philosophie von J. Kristeva eine Spur, die zur Theologie des Augustinus ...
