Given this salience and the risk of political instrumentalization, often by actors from the far right, it is important for citizens to receive high-quality, differentiated information on the migration issue. This touches upon the question of media performance. While there is abundant research on the media portrayal of the migration issue, this research strand is, surprisingly, hardly linked to research on media performance. We establish this link and present an innovative, sophisticated framework for standardized content analyses on migration. It combines three standards of media performance that are key to deliberative democratic theories—viewpoint diversity, balance, and deliberativeness—and utilizes value frames and the sociological concept of idea elements to measure viewpoint diversity and balance. A first empirical test of our newly developed approach, taking Germany as a case, shows noticeable differences in the media performance of 11 outlets analyzed. This test proves the applicability of our framework, which provides a valuable starting point for future comparative research on the media performance of migration coverage across countries and over time.}, subject = {Meinungsvielfalt}, language = {en} } @article{MackJanduraMaurer2025, author = {Mack, Matthias and Jandura, Olaf and Maurer, Marcus}, title = {The effects of constructive journalism: Towards a theoretical framework}, series = {Journalism}, journal = {Journalism}, publisher = {SAGE Publications}, issn = {1464-8849}, doi = {10.1177/14648849251395798}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-58634}, pages = {1 -- 20}, year = {2025}, abstract = {News media coverage mainly focuses on problems and conflicts, resulting in unintended negative consequences for democracy and journalism itself. Constructive journalism aims to address these issues by emphasizing solution-oriented reporting. However, research on its effects remains inconsistent, mainly due to vague definitions of constructive journalism and a lack of theoretical foundation. This paper first proposes a content-centered definition of constructive journalism, suggesting three dimensions: balance, matter-of-factness, and focus on solutions. Using a series of established theories, we then present a theoretical framework that models the impacts of the content dimensions in a chain of effects from emotions to cognitive and conative variables. Our approach offers a systematic basis for future research by enabling experimental analysis of operationalizable and empirically separable content dimensions and by integrating research on constructive journalism into a variety of established media effect theories. Thus, we meet the demand for a stronger theoretical focus and aim to clarify constructive journalism's impact on audiences.}, subject = {Journalismus}, language = {en} } @article{MabroukNajiBenimetal.2022, author = {Mabrouk, Riheb and Naji, Hassane and Benim, Ali Cemal and Dhahri, Hacen}, title = {A State of the Art Review on Sensible and Latent Heat Thermal Energy Storage Processes in Porous Media: Mesoscopic Simulation}, series = {Applied Sciences}, volume = {12}, journal = {Applied Sciences}, number = {14}, publisher = {MDPI}, doi = {10.3390/app12146995}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-40343}, year = {2022}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{LippelBihlmeierStuhlsatz2025, author = {Lippel, Jens and Bihlmeier, Richard and Stuhlsatz, Andr{\´e}}, title = {A Computer Vision Approach to Fertilizer Detection and Classification}, series = {Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications}, booktitle = {Proceedings of the 20th International Joint Conference on Computer Vision, Imaging and Computer Graphics Theory and Applications}, publisher = {SCITEPRESS - Science and Technology Publications}, doi = {10.5220/0013189300003912}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-54735}, pages = {563 -- 569}, year = {2025}, subject = {Maschinelles Lernen}, language = {en} } @article{LepaSteffensHerzogetal.2020, author = {Lepa, Steffen and Steffens, Jochen and Herzog, Martin and Egermann, Hauke}, title = {Popular Music as Entertainment Communication: How Perceived Semantic Expression Explains Liking of Previously Unknown Music}, series = {Media and Communication}, volume = {8}, journal = {Media and Communication}, number = {3}, publisher = {Cogitatio}, doi = {10.17645/mac.v8i3.3153}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-23602}, pages = {191 -- 204}, year = {2020}, language = {en} } @article{LangmannRojasPena2016, author = {Langmann, Reinhard and Rojas-Pe{\~n}a, Leandro}, title = {PLCs as Industry 4.0 Components in Laboratory Applications}, series = {International Journal of Online Engineering}, volume = {12}, journal = {International Journal of Online Engineering}, number = {7}, publisher = {iJOE}, issn = {1861-2121}, doi = {10.3991/ijoe.v12i07.5828}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-28089}, pages = {37}, year = {2016}, language = {en} } @article{KoehlerBoegelDriessenJosupeitetal.2024, author = {K{\"o}hler, Denis and Boegel-Driessen, Josephine Alexandra and Josupeit, Jan and Issa-Keller, Sarah-Joelle and M{\"u}ller, Romina and Stricker, Johannes}, title = {Reliability and Validity of the Comprehensive Assessment of Psychopathic Personality—Self-Report—German Version (CAPP-SR-GV) in a German Non-Criminal Sample}, series = {Behavioral Sciences}, volume = {14}, journal = {Behavioral Sciences}, number = {9}, publisher = {MDPI}, issn = {2076-328X}, doi = {10.3390/bs14090827}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:due62-opus-46018}, year = {2024}, abstract = {The structure of psychopathy is conceptualized differently in various models and no consensus has yet been reached.

How perceived safety is considered has and will continue to impact the individual, organisational and system levels. Regarding a potential crisis event, controversial consequences have been observed. At its core, digital (health) literacy related to equity of access and human support is one of the crucial aspects in the context of perceived safety related to the successful implementation of digital technologies in healthcare. The scenarios showed that a continuation of the current situation over the next 5 years may result in partly desirable and partly undesirable outcomes.

DEMOCRAT builds on the premise that education plays a fundamental role in the development of democratic societies by equipping citizens with the values, knowledge and skills necessary for active participation, critical thinking and informed decision-making. DEMOCRAT was conceived in response to the plethora of ongoing crises affecting Europe and the world. These crises test the effectiveness of democratic institutions and practices, as well as the resilience of individuals and societies. A review of civic education in Europe has shown that, despite the importance given to democratic education in public discourse, it is generally not considered a major topic for education itself. The project's core objective is to reinforce the sustainability and resilience of democracy in Europe by updating and strengthening Education for Democracy (EfD), through participatory redesign and implementation of context-specific curricula and learning methods in a framework of rapid digitalisation. The novelty of DEMOCRAT lies in the dual nature of its educational objectives: alongside exploring the conceptual or historical frameworks concerning the development of the signifier 'democracy', the project aims to operationalise it in various fields of social tension (inclusion, environmental awareness, gender issues) by encouraging civic behaviour, active participation and engagement, communication skills, critical thinking and problem solving through education for democracy. DEMOCRAT's action goes in three main directions that are the key aspects of its methodological approach: Firstly, a conceptual research concerned with definitions, concepts and historical debates on the basis of the values agreed by the EU and Agenda 2030, making sense of the structural challenges that threaten democracy. This preliminary conceptual effort identifies research gaps and includes an outline of a framework of competences for responsible democratic citizenship. It serves as a basis for the design of the practical aspect of the project, the pilot laboratories for the implementation of democracy education. Secondly, the so-called living labs where the community of education (schools, parents and students' associations, policy makers) is engaged in debate and the co-creation of transformative learning approaches in national and transnational settings. Adding to these activities the digital platform AGORA, it could become like a one-stop-shop for educational community in Europe to find inspiration. These living labs will also be outstanding sources for the evaluation of trends, continuous assessment as well as recommendations for best practices and policy making. Finally, and beyond the classroom environment, DEMOCRAT aims at intervening into the educational environment (schools, informal training) through the elaboration of a European Curriculum for EfD. This involves introducing dynamic and innovative didactic-practical units (methods, approaches or tools) into the existing curriculum or classroom practice in which students and educators actively participate in or prepare for real-world democratic processes and civic activities.}, subject = {Politische Bildung}, language = {en} } @article{KretschmarSchmiederNiemann, author = {Kretschmar, Dominik and Schmieder, Matthias and Niemann, J{\"o}rg}, title = {Knowledge Management Concept to Compensate a High Employee Fluctuation}, series = {Acta Technica Napocensis.
