자연주의적 탐구조사(Naturalistic Inquiry)

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.

Die Geschaftsmodelle von Inhalteverwertern unterliegen aufgrund der rasanten Entwicklung elektronischer Medien in jungster Zeit signifikanten Anderungen. Die Praxis zeigt, dass der simple Transfer traditionell bestehender Offline-Geschaftsmodelle und -Inhalteangebote in neue Online-Umgebungen nicht sinnvoll ist und die damit verbundenen Aufwendungen selten refinanziert werden konnen. Neue Medien und Technologien ermoglichen Inhalteverwertern einerseits eine Erweiterung und Umgestaltung ihrer Geschaftsmodelle und Inhalteangebote, sie zwingen Inhalteverwerter andererseits aber auch zur Anpassung an das sich durch neue Technologien wandelnde Wettbewerbsumfeld. So wachst speziell die Verhandlungsmacht von Konsumenten durch die steigende Transparenz auf elektronischen Markten, welche das Vergleichen von Angeboten und das Wechseln von Anbietern massiv erleichtern.

Hybride Wettbewerbsstrategien für Inhalteverwerter und deren Auswirkungen auf die Inhaltesyndizierung

Digital technologies have changed the way in which books are distributed or consumed. Books can now be bought via retail platforms like Amazon, or can be downloaded digitally as e-books to be consumed on modern e-readers. Additionally, the ongoing digitization of books forces the book industry to restructure its business models due to changes in the traditional value chain. This entry provides an overview of changes in the traditional book publishing industry in the wake of digitization, which is an important factor in this industry. It discusses the roles of intermediaries and gatekeepers as new competitors for traditional publishing houses and challenges resulting from digitization, such as the protection of content.
