Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

A theory is proposed to account for some of the age-related differences reported in measures of Type A or fluid cognition. The central hypothesis in the theory is that increased age in adulthood is associated with a decrease in the speed with which many processing operations can be executed and that this reduction in speed leads to impairments in cognitive functioning because of what are termed the limited time mechanism and the simultaneity mechanism. That is, cognitive performance is degraded when processing is slow because relevant operations cannot be successfully executed (limited time) and because the products of early processing may no longer be available when later processing is complete (simultaneity). Several types of evidence, such as the discovery of considerable shared age-related variance across various measures of speed and large attenuation of the age-related influences on cognitive measures after statistical control of measures of speed, are consistent with this theory.

The processing-speed theory of adult age differences in cognition.

In 1974 an article appeared in Science magazine with the dry-sounding title “Judgment Under Uncertainty: Heuristics and Biases” by a pair of psychologists who were not well known outside their discipline of decision theory. In it Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman introduced the world to Prospect Theory, which mapped out how humans actually behave when faced with decisions about gains and losses, in contrast to how economists assumed that people behave. Prospect Theory turned Economics on its head by demonstrating through a series of ingenious experiments that people are much more concerned with losses than they are with gains, and that framing a choice from one perspective or the other will result in decisions that are exactly the opposite of each other, even if the outcomes are monetarily the same. Prospect Theory led cognitive psychology in a new direction that began to uncover other human biases in thinking that are probably not learned but are part of our brain’s wiring.

Entrepreneurial activity, especially the creation of new companies in the growing information and communication technology sector, is of high importance to foster an economy’s growth. However, despite calls for research to investigate why young people decide to start their own business, there is a lack of research to identify the role of the Business Idea in this context. In this paper, we conceptualize the construct “Business Idea” and test its influence on the intention to start a company in the software industry by drawing on the Theory of Planned Behavior. Empirical evidence from a survey among information technology students (N=402) shows that the Business Idea is a major driver for the intention to found a company. The study thus contributes to a better understanding of the factors driving the intention to start a new company in general and the Business Idea’s importance in particular.

Automobilhersteller und Zulieferbetriebe bieten immer vielfaltigere Optionen an, um Internetkonnektivitat und digitale Mehrwertdienste im Automobil nutzbar zu machen. Die vorliegende Arbeit prasentiert eine empirische Erhebung zum Vergleich von relativen Wichtigkeiten der Teilnutzenattribute, die bei der Kaufentscheidung fur digitale Mehrwertdienste im Automobil von Konsumenten evaluiert werden. Durch eine online Umfrage wurden die Praferenzen von Konsumenten in ihrer Rolle als Autofahrer erhoben und in einer adaptiven Conjoint-Analyse ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass bei der Auswahl digitaler Dienste neben Navigationsdiensten die Funktionalitat sicherheits- und fahrzeugbezogener Angebote die hochste relative Wichtigkeit besitzt. Relativ weniger wichtig sind den Befragten Individualisierbarkeit und asthetische Merkmale. Der Beitrag schliest mit einer Diskussion der Ergebnisse und Implikationen fur weitere akademische Arbeiten sowie fur Anbieter digitaler Mehrwertdienste in der Automobilindustrie.
