Competitive positioning of German universities : deliberate decision, fate, or fiction?. - Jena, Germany : Friedrich Schiller University Jena, Faculty of Economics and Business Administration, 2023. - 1 Online-Ressource (21 Seiten). - (Jena economic research papers ; # 2023, 012)
With the increasing autonomy, the competitive pressure on German universities is rising. More freedom comes along with a higher obligation to position oneself in the (German) tertiary education and research market. We investigate to what extent a (competitive) positioning of German universities can be detected and how their positioning changes over time. Using non-parametric productivity estimation, we analyze 79 Germany universities based on information about the German University Statistics (Hochschulstatistik) provided by the German statistical office (Statistisches Bundesamt). Our (preliminary) results show that a clear positioning according to productivity statistics remains vague. The resulting competitive dynamics remains low, whereas the Excellence Initiative only induced an anticipation effect in the competitive dynamics. Overall, the scope of (most) universities for a competitive repositioning seems to be low.

The global study of COVID news: scope, findings, and implications of quantitative content analyses of the COVID-19 news coverage in the first two years of the pandemic. - In: Health communication, ISSN 1532-7027, Bd. 0 (2023), 0, S. 1-14
Researchers and practitioners have unanimously acknowledged the impact of legacy media coverage of past pandemics as well as COVID-19 and its importance for health-related risk communication. Therefore, this study provides scholars and health communication practitioners with a deeper understanding of the patterns, main themes, and limitations of media reporting and peer-reviewed research in the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in different national media environments. Because the objective is to evaluate patterns, this paper focuses on early quantitative and automated content analyses for theoretical contribution, geographic diversity, methodological rigor, and inclusion of risk and crisis communication theory. It also assesses whether authors deduced implications, for both theory and practice of health-related risk and crisis communication. We conducted a content analysis of 66 studies in peer-reviewed journals from the beginning of the pandemic until April 2022. The findings demonstrate that early quantitative analyses of the news coverage of COVID-19 are often not theory-driven, apply heterogeneous forms of framing analysis, and lack references to risk and crisis communication theory. Consequently, only few implications for health communication practice during pandemics were drawn. However, there is evidence of improvement in geographic scope compared to previous research. The discussion addresses the importance of developing a consistent approach to framing analyses of risk and crisis media coverage and the importance of well-designed cross-cultural research in a global pandemic.

Die »EMSA«-Studie : Erstes Mal, Menstruation und Schwangerschaftsabbruch in Sozialen Medien. - In: Forum Sexualaufklärung und Familienplanung, (2023), 1, S. 93-96
Onlineinformationen über Schwangerschaftsabbruch, Menstruation und Erstes Mal wurden im deutschsprachigen Raum noch nicht systematisch wissenschaftlich untersucht. Das Projekt EMSA soll diese Forschungslücke schließen und geht u.a. diesen Fragen nach: Welche Informationen rund um Menstruation, das Erste Mal und Schwangerschaftsabbruch sind online zu finden? Wie sind die Publikationsreaktionen auf diese Informationen.

Erfahrungen bei der Integration des Autograding-Systems CodeOcean in die universitäre Programmierausbildung. - In: Proceedings of the Sixth Workshop "Automatische Bewertung von Programmieraufgaben" (ABP 2023), (2023), S. 67-74
Eine effektive und effiziente universitäre Programmierausbildung erfordert zunehmend den Einsatz automatisierter Bewertungssysteme. Im Rahmen des Projekts examING erprobt das Teilprojekt AutoPING den Einsatz des quelloffenen Autograding-Systems CodeOcean für übergreifende Lehrangebote und Prüfungen an der TU Ilmenau mit dem Ziel, selbstgesteuertes und kompetenzorientiertes Lernen zu ermöglichen und zu fördern. Der Beitrag gibt einen Überblick über erste Projekterfahrungen bei der Adaption didaktischer Szenarien in der Programmierausbildung hin zu testgetriebener Softwareentwicklung sowie der Generierung von Feedback. Es werden wesentliche Erkenntnisse aus Sicht der Studierenden und Lehrenden erörtert, Herausforderungen und Lösungsansätze zur Integration und Erweiterung von CodeOcean für neue Anwendungsfelder diskutiert sowie zukünftige Perspektiven eröffnet.

(De)stigmatizing depression on social media: the role of responsibility frames. - In: Journal of health communication, ISSN 1087-0415, Bd. 28 (2023), 11, S. 757-767
Responsibility frames on social media could shape recipients’ responses toward people with depression, which is crucial for the public (de)stigmatization of the mental disorder. Thus, the present study examines the effects of different responsibility frames (individual, social, combination) in Instagram-posts about depression on respondents’ related attributions as well as their emotional and behavioral reactions toward people suffering from the illness. Our online-experiment (N = 1,015) revealed that frames emphasizing the responsibility of one’s social network (e.g. family, friends and professionals) for depression, i.e. social frames, strengthened participants’ attributions to the social network, i.e. social attributions, most effectively. Individual frames, however, primarily intensified individual attributions to those affected by depression. Contrary to previous findings, a combination frame did not prove to increase recipients’ social attributions more than a one-sided social frame. For emotional and behavioral responses, we did not find any effects of responsibility frames compared to the control group-possibly due to buffering effects of the narrative structure of the Instagram posts.

AI in intralogistics : how the use of AI will change the organisation of work in intralogistics. - In: Work and AI 2030, (2023), S. 287-293
Tasks of intralogistics are traditionally optimised with the help of algorithms. In contrast to methods of operations research, AI can overcome rigid objective functions and react flexibly to occurring events. The availability of real-time data and its evaluation also enables the prediction of events based on pattern recognition and thus a greater customer orientation. In addition, by 2030, real time simulations in the digital twin will become the norm and intralogistics will merge with overarching logistics chains. Furthermore, the use of drones will make the solution space for distances three-dimensional, which will lead to efficiency increases that were not possible before. Nevertheless, human beings remain the key factor in logistics. Wearables and exoskeletons enable the free collaboration with co-robots in a confined space, the human being becomes an integral part of a networked logistics system.
Digital labour platforms as new relational structures: principles, characteristics and development drivers. - In: Networks in the Global World VI, (2023), S. 123-131
Digital labour platforms (DLPs) as an innovative technology transforms not only the space of labour services relations, but also these relations as such. This determines the importance of the paper’s objective, which is to attempt a generalised conceptualisation of DLPs as a new relational phenomenon. In particular, we specify and discuss the “wisdom of crowds” principle that is common across the diverse forms of DLPs. We explore the key characteristics of the new labour services relational model in terms of the way work/tasks are allocated, the configuration of roles and the bargaining power of agents. We consider the development drivers of DLPs as a new relational space for labour services. We focus particular attention on the propensity of agents, primarily young people, to use DLPs as a networking space to realise their professional, creative talent. We argue for a proactive vision of the higher school in developing students’ professional skills for this new relational space and designing an enabling information and communication environment.
