Data has become a key factor for the competitiveness of private and state actors alike. Personal data in particular fuels manifold corresponding data ecosystems - in many cases based on the disclosure decision of an individual. This volume presents the proceedings of the bidt "Vectors of Data Disclosure" conference held in Munich 2022. The contributions give comparative insights into the data disclosure process - combining perspectives of law, cultural studies, and business information systems. The authors thereby tackle the question in which way regulation and cultural settings shape (or do not shape) respective decisions in different parts of the world. The volume also includes interim results of the corresponding bidt research project - including in-depth reports covering the regulatory and cultural dimensions of data disclosure in eight different countries / regions worldwide, a business information systems model of the disclosure decision process, and empirical studies. The volume thereby lays the ground for interdisciplinary informed policy decisions and gives guidance to stakeholders.
Die Digitalisierung im Gesundheitssektor hat in den letzten Jahren stetig an Bedeutung gewonnen. Der Band nähert sich diesem Thema aus der rechtlichen Perspektive, die um Beiträge aus der Ethik und Bioinformatik angereichert wird. Der erste Themenbereich kreist um die elektronische Patientenakte (ePA). Der zweite Teil beschäftigt sich mit weiteren regulatorischen Innovationen, namentlich den digitalen Gesundheitsanwendungen (DiGAs), digitalen Pflegeanwendungen (DiPAs), Entscheidungsunterstützungssystemen (CDSS) und Software als Medizinprodukt (SaMD). Sodann widmen sich die Beiträge den Querschnittsfragen der Solidarität und Individualisierung sowie der Haftung. Der fünfte und letzte Themenkomplex beschäftigt sich mit möglichen Lösungsansätzen für datenschutzrechtliche Probleme aus einer rechtlichen und informatisch informierten Perspektive. Dieser Band liefert einen Beitrag zur Sichtung und Systematisierung der zuweilen disparat anmutenden Rechtsmaterie. Zentral ist die Einsicht, dass das Recht im Bereich Digital Health interdisziplinär, kreativ, flexibel und innovationsfördernd sein und bleiben.
Der stetige Ausbau neuer Informations- und Kommunikationstechnologien erhöht den gesellschaftsweiten »Datenhunger« – man denke nur an Trainingsdaten für KI-Anwendungen. Die Frage danach, wer den Zugang zu Daten erlaubt und welche Regeln insoweit zu beachten sind, ist deshalb von essentieller sozialer Bedeutung. Sind Daten überhaupt ein rechtlich geschütztes Gut, und wenn ja, wessen? Welche Konsequenzen hat das für Zugangsvorgaben? Herkömmlicherweise werden Datenzugangsregeln meist mit individueller Kontrollkompetenz, nur in Teilbereichen auch mit übergeordneten Interessen begründet. Angesichts drohender Überforderung und hieraus resultierender Datenunterversorgung untersuchen die Beiträge dieses Bandes aus unterschiedlichen Perspektiven, ob ein solches, stark subjektbezogenes Regelungsmodell theoretisch überzeugend ist und welche praxisgerechten Alternativlösungen denkbar sind. creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/legalcode
In this book, Ulrich Kortner addresses the issue of apocalyptic anxiety by offering a theological and philosophical evaluation of the apocalyptic. In particular, Kortner looks at how theology, responding in pastoral sensitivity, should deal with apocalyptic fears and anxieties. Kortner concludes that real meaning and hope for the world is possible only after the world's inhabitants deal constructively with the stark reality of the world's end.
Philosophy of science used to be identified with the logical and methodological analysis of scientific theories, and any allusion to values was considered as a deplorable intromission in a philosophical investigation that should remain strictly epistemological. As a reaction against this view, an opposite «sociological» approach downplayed the usual virtues of scientific knowledge (such as logical rigor and empirical adequacy) as artificial imageries that cover the actual nature of science, that is a social product submitted to all the kinds of social conditionings and compromises. A more balanced view is badly needed today, when technoscience is permeating all aspects of our civilization and wise persons understand that we cannot survive without using science and technology but at the same time we need to steer their development in view of the real benefit of humankind. We must investigate how science, technology and values are legitimately interconnected and, in particular, how the discourses of ethics, politics and religion can enter a fruitful dialogue with science. The essays presented in this volume offer a valuable contribution to this interdisciplinary study.

To make sense of the rise and fall, origins and nature, of the 1980s West German peace movement requires work that is part political sociology and part social movement theory building. An analysis of the peace movement's organizations, leadership, strategy, goals, tactics, and mobilization comprises the political sociology part of this study. To un
The label CLIL stands for classrooms where a foreign language (English) is used as a medium of instruction in content subjects. This book provides a first in-depth analysis of the kind of communicative abilities which are embodied in such CLIL classrooms. It examines teacher and student talk at secondary school level from different discourse-analytic angles, taking into account the interpersonal pragmatics of classroom discourse and how school subjects are talked into being during lessons. The analysis shows how CLIL classroom interaction is strongly shaped by its institutional context, which in turn conditions the ways in which students experience, use and learn the target language. The research presented here suggests that CLIL programmes require more explicit language learning goals in order to fully exploit their potential for furthering the learners’ appropriation of a foreign language as a medium of learning.
Cutting through the confusion around the nature and implications of digitalization, this book explores the rise of the new digital networks, how they affect traditional infrastructure, and how they will eventually need to be regulated. The authors examine how digitalization affects infrastructures in telecommunications, transport, and energy, and how digital platforms establish themselves as a new network on top of and in addition to traditional ones. Complex concepts are introduced through short and colorful stories about the founders of the most popular platforms (Google, Facebook, Skype, Uber, etc.) and how they grew to positions of power, drawing parallels with century-old traditional ne...
