AbstractThere is a need for a scientific and theoretical foundation in the description of internal crowdsourcing systems with binding, consensus-based terminologies and descriptions. (How) Can the already described subcategories and aspects of an IC System be meaningfully described and placed in an orderly overall relationship? What needs to be added to existing system descriptions, if at all? The present article concentrates on identifying existing descriptions and definitions in connection with approaches to systematize the development of an internal crowdsourcing system (Some aspects of this article will also be published in German. Please be referred to: Daum, M.; Wedel, M.; Zinke-Wehlmann, C.; Ulbrich, H. (ed.) (2020): Gestaltung vernetzt-flexibler Arbeit. Beiträge aus Theorie und Praxis für die digitale Arbeitswelt. Berlin: Springer Vieweg). Since the phenomenon itself eludes allocation to an exclusively dedicated academic discipline, it seems appropriate to choose interdisciplinary approaches and to build on existing theoretical and terminological approaches from related sciences.

The Subject

In a characteristically stimulating recent article in ANTIQUITY, Barry Cunliffe has touched on many of the most important issues concerning the publication of ‘rescue’ excavations in Britain in the 1990s (Cunliffe 1990). The purpose of the present article is to follow up some the points which Cunliffe has raised.Publication, and the dissemination of information, is the lifeblood of any academic discipline, and questions of what is published (and of what is read!), where, how and by whom are of central importance for archaeology. Over the past two decades in Britain, and particularly in England where the volume of work has been greatest, there has been a recurrent concern with the problem of how to publish the results of ‘rescue’ archaeology. Rescue excavations can generate very large quantities of data, collected for reasons which are often largely beyond archaeological control, and the problems (both intellectual and practical) of publishing this material are considerable. In Britain the issues have been the subject of expert examination on two occasions since 1970 -the Frere (1975) and Cunliffe (1983) reports - and now in the 1990s the topic is firmly on the archaeological agenda again. This paper is intended as a contribution to the continuing debate.

Traditional Economics looks at the persons as at some kind of rational machine which takes into consideration all available information and then makes optimal decision. Re- ality is rather different. The behavioral economics claims that there is no rational «economic human” and probably will nev- er exist. Person’s behavior is irrational and this irrationality is not random and clueless. Vice-versa - this irrationality is systemic and predictable. Behavioral economics explores what affects people›s economic decisions and the consequences of those decisions for market prices, returns, and resource allocation. Tradition- al economic research assumes that people›s economic deci- sions are based on the rule of maximizing utility. Behavioral economics uses experiments that observe human behavior in order to uncover how we think. Behavior- al economics has been called the science of decision-making. It is a growing academic discipline which uses experiments that observe human behavior in order to uncover how we think. Behavioral economics is about understanding com- mon decision mistakes that people make and why they make them. In particular, a large aspect of behavioral economics is concerned with the gap between intention and action. Classical economic theory assumes that individuals are rational. However, in the real world, we often see irrational behavior – decisions which don›t maximize utility but can cause a loss of economic welfare. It means economists need to take into account the potential for irrationality. Successful marketers must have a profound understand- ing of the consumer’s thought process in order to create a suc- cessful marketing campaign. By understanding the consumer’s decision-making process, marketers are able to develop value propositions that really fit the consumer’s needs. The impor- tance of understanding behavioral economics for marketers is immeasurable as it allows for a better understanding of the human mind. Behavioral economics allows marketing profes- sionals to optimize marketing strategies and get real results. In the article are reviewed applied aspects of behavioral economics, also theoretical and practical results of researches. These results will be useful in company management, for pol- iticians, in private decision making as they give different per- spective to rational-functional models. In case of ignoring the interdisciplinary approaches, integration of economics and psy- chology can result in waste of resources and wrong decisions.

The field of Interpreting Studies (IS) has witnessed an exponential increase in the development of new data-gathering techniques aimed at investigating some of the underlying cognitive and psychological processes.The present article provides a preliminary look into research studies applying eye tracking technology in the field of IS over the past few decades. The present study also aims at exploring the theoretical basis for different applications of eye tracking equipment in the investigation of the cognitive processes underlying interpreting by analyzing empirical research studies related to cognitive aspects of translation. The sampled studies are analyzed in terms of the contribution they provide for the joint development of eye tracking research in IS, in terms of the methodology used and the way data are processed and presented.Finally, the present article concludes with a discussion on future research focusing on possible developments and applications of eye tracking to authentic interpreting situational contexts. The final section presents new challenges and opportunities for unexplored applications of eye tracking in the field of IS. It is argued that interdisciplinary approaches can show the full range of possibilities of eye tracking research in the field of IS.

At least since Svend Bjerg’s doctoral dissertation, narrative and existentialist theology has, in a Danish context, been considered to be fundamentally opposed to each other. The main goal of the present article is to question this dichotomy. The theoretical foundation for this is an evaluation of the strength of Bjerg’s critique of Rudolf Bultmann and his program of demythologization. This is succeeded by a new interpretation of Johannes Sløk’s authorship focusing on the category of ‘proclamation’, which points to the practical possibility of formulating a narrative existentialist theology, utilizing insights from both theological traditions.

O presente artigo analisa as relações jurídico-institucionais existentes entre os órgãos ambientais, órgão público do Estado e algumas empresas do setor da silvicultura do Rio Grande do Sul sob a ótica da Nova Economia Institucional (NEI). Como referencial teórico buscou-se literatura a respeito do Zoneamento Ambiental, da NEI e do setor da silvicultura no estado do Rio Grande do Sul. Para exequibilidade desse artigo foi realizada pesquisa exploratória, bibliográfica e coleta de dados junto a centros de pesquisa e universidade. Na análise e discussão de resultados, através da união entre a fundamentação teórica e a coleta de dados, foram demonstradas as dúvidas quanto à aplicação da legislação sobre o Zoneamento Ambiental e quanto à subordinação legal das instituições ambientais e sua atuação, bem como as divergências técnicas quanto às diretrizes utilizadas para a implementação desse instrumento. Palavras-chave:Zoneamento Ambiental; Silvicultura; Nova Economia Institucional; Legislação. Abstract The present article analyzes the existent juridical-institutional relationships among environmental organizations, the State public sector and some companies of the forestry sector of Rio Grande do Sul under the optics of the New Institutional Economy (NIE). The literature about Environmental Zoning, NIE and the forestry sector in the state of Rio Grande do Sul were used as theoretical reference. An exploratory and bibliographical research and a collection of data by research centers and the university were done in order to accomplish this article. In the analysis and discussion of results, through the combination of theoretical foundation and the collection of data, doubts were demonstrated as to the application of the legislation on the Environmental Zoning regarding the legal subordination of the environmental institutions and their performance, as well as the technical divergences and the guidelines used for the implementation of this instrument. Keywords: Environmental Zoning; Forestry; New Institutional Economy; Legislation.

Interdisciplinary Thinking

The value of interdisciplinary approaches to curriculum have been considered successful along multiple fronts; including reducing administrative burden from inter departmental collaboration, providing “intellectual” solutions to problems and breaking academic discipline boundaries. Criticism from industry often focuses on educators not preparing graduates for work in the real world. A major reason underpinning this criticism is that the students are not exposed to the requisite skills to make them work- ready. Despite the pressures to include interdisciplinary approaches from an ethical perspective, putting it into practice is difficult. This paper presents the findings of involving students from three different schools from a Victorian university in Australia: built environment, business and computer science. The project was developed as part of a state government competitive fund where industry, staff and students worked together to support each other and realize mutual benefits. The aim of the study was to develop an approach involving students in a theory-practice model of a real world project by selecting a building within the university as a case study to arm students with real world knowledge focusing on sustainability outcomes. The objective was to assist in preparing students from different disciplines for better workplace experiences, where they can bring in interdisciplinary thinking and practice into their day-day operations. The outcomes for the university, in using this building as a living laboratory, was to capture lessons learned through the process of improving future building developments from a sustainability perspective. Student involvement was successful, but true interdisciplinary engagement was not achieved.

Though we often speak of the development of CALL as an academic discipline and its growth as a field of inquiry, little evidence has to date been gathered to prove it. This descriptive study investigates the current state of and changes in CALL research output and its characteristics such as theoretical foundation, method of evidence gathering, and reporting standards. It is based on a numerical analysis of 91 research articles published in 1980–2000 in seven English language journals. CALL emerges from this study as a fast developing area of research, which draws on an increasingly diverse body of theory and methods from a number of cognate disciplines. CALL researchers are increasingly more confident about their research, as reflected in the high level of generalization present in the examined sample. This is not however matched by proper attention given in their reports to research credibility issues.
