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.

[Einleitung ...] Im Folgenden soll anhand empirischer Daten untersucht werden, wie sich das Profil der WI hinsichtlich der angewandten Forschungsmethoden in den letzten sechs Jahren entwickelt hat. Konkret werden folgende Ziele adressiert: - Erstens sollen die Einsatzhaufigkeiten der Forschungsmethoden erfasst und basierend darauf das aktuelle Methodenprofil der WI herausgearbeitet werden. - Zweitens soll auf dieser Grundlage und unter Berucksichtigung der Ergebnisse von Wilde/Hess (2007) die Entwicklung der methodischen Schwerpunkte im Zeitverlauf nachvollzogen werden. - Drittens soll herausgearbeitet werden, inwieweit in der WI im Rahmen einer Untersuchung mehrere Methoden eingesetzt werden. Hierfur ist nicht nur der Anteil an Mehr-Methoden-Arbeiten von Interesse, sondern auch die Frage, welche spezifischen Methoden miteinander kombiniert werden. Der Beitrag versteht sich als erweiterte Folgestudie zur Untersuchung von Wilde/Hess (2007). Somit baut er einerseits auf deren theoretischem Fundament auf und orientiert sich andererseits auch am methodischen Vorgehen in dieser Erststudie. Der Beitrag umfasst sechs Kapitel: Zunachst wird auf das theoretische Fundament in Wilde/Hess (2007) rekurriert und das Spektrum der berucksichtigten Methoden sowie deren Verortung in einem zweidimensionalen Methodenprofil erlautert (Kapitel 2). Anschliesend wird das Vorgehen zur Datenerhebung aufgezeigt (Kapitel 3). Die Darstellung des aktuellen Methodenprofils der WI sowie die Einordnung der Ergebnisse in die Entwicklung seit 1997 finden sich in Kapitel 4. In Kapitel 5 wird die Kombination von Methoden erlautert. Abschliesend werden ein Fazit gezogen, die Limitationen dieser Untersuchung diskutiert und ein Ausblick fur zukunftige Forschungsarbeiten gegeben (Kapitel 6).

Die okonomische Betrachtung des Konzepts Privatheit ist essentiell, allerdings haben die Wirtschaftswissenschaften (WiWi) das Thema bislang eher punktuell bearbeitet. Dieser Beitrag adressiert daher folgende Ziele: Zum einen liefert er einen Literaturuberblick zur Privatheitsforschung in den WiWi und leitet das Verstandnis von Privatheit in diesem Literaturzweig her. Durch die Literaturanalyse konnten zwei zentrale Forschungslucken identifiziert werden. Diese zu schliesen stellt das zweite Ziel des Beitrags dar. Konkret wird zuerst aus der Individualperspektive die Rolle der interdependenten Privatheit bei der Adaption neuer Technologien untersucht. Anschliesend erfolgt aus der Marktperspektive die Identifikation der Wertschopfungsstrukturen in Datenmarkten. Der Beitrag ist dementsprechend in zwei Teilabschnitte untergliedert. Der erste Abschnitt beinhaltet einen systematischen Literaturuberblick uber die Privatheitsforschung in den WiWi. Darauf folgen im zweiten Abschnitt die beiden empirischen Studien. Die erste Studie basiert auf einem quantitativ-empirischen Ansatz. Sie zeigt, dass interdependente Privatheitsbedenken der Diffusion neuer Technologien im Weg stehen konnen, da sie sich negativ auf die individuelle Adoptionsbereitschaft auswirken. Konkret lasst sich festhalten, dass interdependente Privatheitsbedenken die Wahrnehmung von funktionalen und hedonistischen Vorteilen negativ beeinflussen konnen. Die zweite Studie adressiert mittels eines qualitativ-empirischen Studiendesigns die Wertschopfungsstrukturen in Datenmarkten und offenbart neue Erkenntnisse uber die Strukturen der Datenmarkte, die Rollen der einzelnen Akteure innerhalb von Datenmarkten sowie eine Prognose zu zukunftigen Trends und der Entwicklung der Datenmarkte.

Perspektiven der Privatheitsforschung in den Wirtschaftswissenschaften

Despite huge incentives and investments in information technology (IT) standards, many firms still fail to fully benefit from their implementations To explain such failures, we examine why some firms benefit more from IT standard implementation than others Specifically, we look at the implementation of the eXtensible Markup Language (XML) from a technological diffusion perspective, and investigate under what contextual conditions the extent of XML implementation has the greatest effect on business process outcomes Using empirical data from the publishing industry (N=188), we find that the extent of XML implementation impacts business process outcomes, and both business process radicalness of XML implementation and related XML knowledge play moderating roles For information systems (IS) practice, this study helps managers direct their attention to the most promising factors and elaborates on their differential effects on business process outcomes For IS research, it integrates innovation diffusion theory into our current knowledge of IT implementation and provides theoretical explanations for XML implementation successes and failures

IT Standard Implementation and Business Process Outcomes - An Empirical Analysis of XML in the Publishing Industry

In this study, we investigated endorsement of two types of prescriptive views of aging, namely active aging (e.g., prescriptions for older adults to stay fit and healthy and to maintain an active and productive lifestyle) and altruistic disengagement (e.g., prescriptions for older adults to behave altruistically toward the younger generation by granting young people access to positions and resources). The study comprised a large international sample of middle-aged and older adults (N = 2,900), covering the age range from 40 to 90 years. Participants rated their personal endorsement of prescriptive views of active aging and altruistic disengagement targeting older adults in general (i.e., “In my personal opinion, older adults should…”). Findings showed that endorsement was higher for prescriptions for active aging than for prescriptions for altruistic disengagement. Age groups in the sample differed regarding their endorsement of both prescriptive views of active aging and altruistic disengagement with older adults showing higher endorsement than middle-aged adults did. Prescriptive views of active aging and altruistic disengagement related positively to each other and to the superordinate social belief that older adults should not become a burden, which attests to their functional similarity. In contrast, prescriptive views of active aging and altruistic disengagement were associated with psychological adjustment in opposite ways, with endorsement of active aging (vs. altruistic disengagement) being related to better (vs. worse) adjustment outcomes such as life satisfaction and subjective health. Our findings highlight the internalization of prescriptive views of aging in older people and their implications for their development and well-being.
