Motorradfahrer/innen sind mechanischen Schwingungen ausgesetzt, die über Lenker, Fußrasten und Sitzbank übertragen werden. Mehr als drei Viertel der Motorradfahrer/innen berichtet in einer Umfrage über körperliche Symptome, die auf mechanische Schwingungen zurückgeführt werden können, aber über zwei Drittel der Fahrer/innen empfindet die Motorradvibrationen als nicht oder nur wenig störend. Messungen an verschiedensten in Deutschland und Europa üblichen Motorrädern zeigen im Hand-Arm- und Ganzkörperbereich Schwingungswerte, die zum Teil deutlich oberhalb des auf 8 h bezogenen Grenzwerts der Richtlinie 2002/44EG liegen. Vergleichsmessungen an einem Pkw führen bei gleichen Bedingungen zu erheblich geringeren Schwingungswerten. Motorräder im Dienstgebrauch bei Polizei und Johanniter Unfallhilfe können zu Tagesexpositionswerten oberhalb der Auslösewerte führen.
Die Einführung von Smart Glasses eröffnet neue Chancen für die Gestaltung zukünftiger Arbeitsprozesse. Bisher sind diese Technologien wenig erforscht und werden nur experimentell hinsichtlich einzelner Aspekte untersucht. Zur Priorisierung zukünftiger Forschungsthemen und Identifikation relevanter Problemstellungen für den Bereich der Wirtschaftsinformatik wurden daher explorative Fallstudien mit zwei Logistikdienstleistern durchgeführt. Zur Ermittlung relevanter Einsatzszenarien wurde eine Triangulation aus Experteninterviews, Beobachtungen und Fokusgruppen gewählt und durch eine systematische Literaturrecherche ergänzt. Die 36 resultierenden Anwendungsfälle wurden mithilfe einer Umfrage priorisiert und auf Basis ihrer qualitativen Aussagen bzgl. der Herausforderungen analysiert. Die Ergebnisse des Beitrags sind (1) Einsatzszenarien für Smart Glasses in der Logistik sowie (2) daraus abgeleitete Forschungsthemen für die Wirtschaftsinformatik. Somit leistet diese Studie einen Beitrag zur Forschung im Bereich des ganzheitlichen Designs von Dienstleistungssystemen und zukünftiger Aufgaben digitaler Arbeit.
As of the reporting year 2017, extended non-financial reporting requirements will apply to certain large companies within the EU on the basis of the EU-Directive 2014/95/EU. The aim is to provide an overview of selected regulations for the new non-financial statements. This includes the analysis of the German Sustainability Code as well as the German Accounting Standard No. 20. The analysis shows a tightening of disclosure on non-financial reporting and an increased focus of disclosures on non-financial concepts, objectives and measures. Hence, the risk management of a preparer gains in importance with regard to non-financial aspects of the business activity.
Design knowledge on smart glasses-based systems is scarce. Utilizing literature analysis on software development publications, insights from the design and implementation of four smart glasses-based systems and expert interviews, we elicited 16 design principles to provide guidance in the development of future service support systems. Heuristic Theorizing is an abductive Design Science Research method, hitherto far too little known or little noticed, which was applied to conduct the research. We contribute to theory and practice with applicable design principles to support the development of smart glasses-based systems. Phenomena known to have an impact on the adoption of smart glasses are addressed by these design principles.
A structured hospital discharge management process can lead to a smoother transition to aftercare. In practice, providing continuity of nursing care after a stationary hospital stay is accompanied by numerous challenges. The presented study aims to point out the use cases and requirements for an IT system supporting the diverse tasks of the participating actors. Within the scope of a multi-method research design, the authors conducted and analysed stakeholder interviews, a shadowing, a systematic literature search and statutes in order to gain the presented results. This publication presents 37 requirements, grouped to 14 use cases. A process model in BPMN visualises the discharge management process. Further, the authors derived implications for practice and research. These can be used for the development, classification and assessment of IT systems. Therefore, this publication provides a significant contribution to the development of socio-technical systems within the health care domain.
Sustainability is a growing megatrend in our society entailing an increasing importance of sustainable consumption. Consumers associate sustainable products with ecological and regional production including a high credibility. In order to take advantage of this trend manufacturers of sustainable foods must communicate the sustainability of their products via packaging and displays at the point of sale. The objective of this article is to examine how the design of display elements succeeds in conveying sustainability for a new organic juice. In addition, the perception of individual design elements of sustainable products is determined. To this end, a field study was carried out in a supermarket combining eye-tracking technology with a survey of 32 customers. At the entrance, customers were asked to buy a variety of the newly introduced "Emsländer" organic juice, and then participate in the survey. The results demonstrate that customers with a positive attitude towards sustainable food fixate individual display elements referring to sustainability components for longer and remember product features better. Hence, the positive attitude towards sustainable food results in a higher visual attention at the point of sale. These findings provide recommendations for the design of the display.
Der Einsatz von Augmented-Reality-Headsets eröffnet vielfältige Anwendungsmöglichkeiten und könnte auch in der Wundversorgung zur Anwendung kommen. Das Zusammenspiel mit der Nutzungsumgebung sowie die erweiterten Möglichkeiten der Interaktion erhöhen die Komplexität der Parameter, die bei der Gestaltung geeigneter Applikationen beachtet werden müssen. Daher verfolgt dieser Beitrag zwei Ziele. Als erstes werden Gestaltungsempfehlungen für Augmented-Reality-Applikationen für Headsets formuliert. Als zweites werden die zuvor formulierten Gestaltungsempfehlungen anhand eines Konzepts für eine Nutzeroberfläche zur Dokumentation chronischer Wunden demonstriert. Es wurde eine systematische Literaturrecherche durchgeführt. Von den 629 gefundenen Publikationen konnten 15 als relevant identifiziert werden. Die Inhalte der Publikationen wurden mithilfe einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse nach Mayring (2015) analysiert. Insgesamt konnten zehn Gestaltungsempfehlungen für Augmented-Reality-Applikationen generiert und anhand des Anwendungsfalls, der Dokumentation chronischer Wunden, demonstriert werden. Die präsentierten Gestaltungsempfehlungen können als Basis für die Entwicklung von Augmented-Reality-Applikationen insbesondere mit dem Fokus auf Headsets genutzt werden.
The accounting of small and medium enterprises is specific, compared to the accounting of large enterprises, for several reasons. First of all, lower business volume implies less demanding accounting in terms of less turnover and the number of accounts to be processed, lower financial reporting requirements, more favourable tax treatment is expected and the like. Practical experience in the years of application of EU-accounting directives, which represent the framework of financial reporting of companies at the EU level, pointed to certain difficulties or excessive administrative burden of small and medium enterprises in relation to the requirements for large companies and identified areas for improvement. The complexity of these regulations as well as problems in practical application have led to the need to develop and publish a revised single accounting directive (2013/34/EU). This Directive was primarily adopted with the aim of simplifying the accounting and financial reporting of small and medium-sized enterprises.
Today, it is common for small and medium-sized enterprises to go beyond the borders of one country. In the internationalization of business, SMEs face many challenges and potential barriers. First of all, it refers to financial, human and procedural barriers, but also to informational barriers related to regulations, rules and laws of other countries. Since the accounting and tax treatment of the same business transaction may differ between countries, it seems entirely justified to investigate whether there are differences in the regulation and regulation of the accounting system between the two countries. This paper compares the characteristics of small and medium-sized enterprises’ accounting systems between two economically strongly connected countries, Germany and Croatia, which is the main goal of this paper. It is well known that financial reporting is a particularly important, final phase of accounting data processing. Namely, financial reporting system of these two countries is compared by using the method of comparison and classification analysis. The types and scope of financial statements have been defined and the content of financial statements that SMEs are obliged to compile and publish has been analysed. The paper pays additional attention to the analysis of similarities and differences between these two accounting regulations as well as current events in the implementation of the revised accounting directive into national legislation, especially in simplifying the financial reporting of the smallest, but numerically most represented micro enterprises. The important finding of the research show that some changes have been made but there is still room to improve accounting regulations for this segment of entrepreneurship.
The market for external ratings is dominated worldwide as well as in the European Union (EU) by three major credit rating agencies (CRAs). These “Big Three” are Standard & Poor's (S&P), Moody's and Fitch Ratings. Due to the oligopolistic market structure and possible involvement in the 2008 financial crisis, the rating agencies have constantly come under criticism. This was associated with stricter regulatory requirements to ease the situation. The EU-Regulation on credit rating agencies („CRA-Regulation“) coming into force 2009 and its amendments in 2011 and in 2013 have mainly governed such regulation. The aim of the article is to analyse potential regulatory impact on the still inherent oligopolistic situation on the EU rating market in the context of the CRA-Regulation. Selected key figures are used to observe over a defined period of time if and how the dominance has changed. The motivation for this article is the observation, that political and private efforts to establish a European rating agency as a counterweight to the three major agencies and other approaches to increase competition in the rating market, followed, which has not been resounding to date. In summary, it is shown that new agencies have a potential impact on the EU rating market and that the three major rating agencies still dominate the market but within a changed environment.
