Understanding flow experience from users’ requirements

2015

This paper argues that the concept of flow can be useful in gaining a better understanding of information system users’ flow experience. This paper applies this concept in the requirements development phase of an Internet protocol television e-learning service development project. The findings show that flow experience can be visualised and measured, and that there are differences in how users see and perceive different features. Some features are driven by more experiential needs, whereas others are driven by more task-oriented goals. The findings indicate that the users’ perceived flow experiences can already be measured during the early phases of information systems IS development projec…

Psychological therapies for adolescents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or BPD features-A systematic review of randomized clinical trials …

2021

Objectives To review the effectiveness of psychological therapies for adolescents with borderline personality disorder (BPD) or BPD features. Methods We included randomized clinical trials on psychological therapies for adolescents with BPD and BPD features. Data were extracted and assessed for quality according to Cochrane guidelines, and summarized as mean difference (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI) for continuous data and as Odds ratios (OR) with 95% CI for dichotomous data. Risk of bias was assessed using Cochrane’s risk of bias tool for each domain. When possible, we pooled trials into meta-analyses, and used Trial Sequential Analysis (TSA) to control for random errors. Quality…

Indicadores de calidad para analizar la información televisiva sobre grupos minoritarios. El caso de “El ángel rubio”

2015

Este estudio propone una evaluación de la calidad periodística utilizando indicadores interculturales y códigos deontológicos. Para ello se observa la cobertura televisiva internacional, ofrecida por las televisiones públicas europeas BBC, TF 2 France, RAI 1 y TVE 1 en el período del 19 al 22 de octubre de 2013, de la historia conocida mediáticamente como “el ángel rubio”: la aparición de una niña en un campamento gitano en Grecia, en un presunto caso de tráfico de menores o de un secuestro. Se constata que la información se aleja de los estándares de calidad y contribuye a la estigmatización de los gitanos y a la etnificación del delito.

Das sprachliche Bild „des Juden“ im essayistischen Werk Arnold Zweigs. Eine Analyse mithilfe des DIMEAN-Modells

2021

The concept of linguistic worldview has emerged as a theoretical term with analogous use outside of the discipline of linguistics, especially within the context of interdisciplinary studies, where literary works are approached from a linguistic perspective. This article aims to examine the linguistic image of the Jew in the essayistic work of German-Jewish writer Arnold Zweig (1887-1968), and to consider his role as an actor within a broader discourse. The methodological framework used is based on quantitative corpus analysis methodology and the DIMEAN model, as developed by Warnke and Spitzmüller.

Debating Europe: Effects of the “Eurovision Debate” on EU Attitudes of Young German Voters and the Moderating Role Played by Political Involvement

2016

In the run-up to the elections to the European Parliament in 2014, EU citizens had the unprecedented opportunity to watch televised debates between the candidates running for president of the European Commission. The most important debate was the so-called "Eurovision debate", which was broadcasted in almost all EU member states. In this study we explore the responses of a sample of 110 young German voters, who watched this debate, to the candidates' messages and whether exposure to the debate caused a shift in the respondents' attitudes towards the EU. Combining data from a quasi-experiment, real-time response data, and data from a content analysis of the debate, we find that respondents' …

An exploratory study of COVID-19 misinformation on Twitter.

2020

During the COVID-19 pandemic, social media has become a home ground for misinformation. To tackle this infodemic, scientific oversight, as well as a better understanding by practitioners in crisis management, is needed. We have conducted an exploratory study into the propagation, authors and content of misinformation on Twitter around the topic of COVID-19 in order to gain early insights. We have collected all tweets mentioned in the verdicts of fact-checked claims related to COVID-19 by over 92 professional fact-checking organisations between January and mid-July 2020 and share this corpus with the community. This resulted in 1 500 tweets relating to 1 274 false and 276 partially false cla…
