Explorative Studie zum Stand der Nutzung von Legal Tech in Deutschland

Legal-Tech-Anwendungen – moderne Rechtstechnologien – bieten für Unternehmen erhebliche Potentiale und werden von manchen deutschen Unternehmen bereits umfassend genutzt. Dabei existieren unterschiedliche Anwendungstypen, die verschiedene juristische Aufgaben technisch unterstützen oder automatisieren können. In diesem Zusammenhang sind es vor allem Effizienz und Fehlerreduktion, die in erster Linie wesentliche Vorteile darstellen, sodass Leistungs- und Qualitätssteigerungen im Rahmen von juristischen Aufgaben erreicht werden können. Zur Verbreitung und Nutzung von Legal Tech existieren für den deutschen Wirtschaftsraum jedoch kaum Daten, die den konkreten Einsatz und aktuelle Entwicklungen gezielt beschreiben können. Deshalb wird mit diesem Beitrag eine explorative Studie präsentiert, die einen empirischen Querschnitt zum Einsatz unterschiedlicher Legal-Tech-Anwendungstypen in großen, deutschen Unternehmen bietet. Auf Basis der Angaben von 48 Unternehmen werden gewonnene Erkenntnisse und identifizierte Trends vorgestellt

Machbarkeitsstudie zu den IT-technischen Anforderungen einer weitergehenden Digitalisierung im Bereich Soziale Sicherheit

Ausgehend von der erfolgten Einführung des EESSI-Verfahrens ist es Aufgabe dieser Kurzstudie, weitere Digitalisierungspotentiale im Bereich der sozialen Sicherheit in Deutschland zu identifizieren. Dabei wurde eine mittel- bis langfristige Perspektive eingenommen, um Potentiale der Digitalisierung in Form von aktuellen und innovativen Konzepten und Technologien aufzuzeigen. Die Identifizierung dieser Potentiale erfolgte auf Basis von semi-strukturierten Interviews mit Experten aus der Praxis, die sowohl mit dem EESSI-Verfahren als auch generell mit den Themen der Digitalisierung im Bereich der Systeme der sozialen Sicherheit vertraut sind. Dabei konnten im Verlauf der Studie sowohl regionale, überregionale und bundesweite Organisationen konsultiert werden, um ein breites Bild der aktuellen Entwicklungen und Herausforderungen im Bereich der Digitalisierung abzuleiten. Neben dem EESSI-Verfahren wurde allgemein über die aktuellen Potentiale im Zuge der Digitalisierung diskutiert. Zur Adressierung der Herausforderungen wurden Digitalisierungspotentiale identifiziert, die aus einer Nutzenperspektive sowohl für die Bürgerinnen und Bürger als auch für die Anwender beim Sozialversicherungsträger betrachtet wurden. Zusätzlich wurde, sofern es möglich war, diskutiert, inwiefern die aufgezeigten Digitalisierungswege Betrug und Missbrauch in den Systemen der sozialen Sicherheit eindämmen oder ganz verhindern können. Die insgesamt acht aus den diskutierten Herausforderungen abgeleiteten Digitalisierungspotentiale wurden durch dedizierte Handlungsempfehlungen operationalisiert. Diese Digitalisierungspotentiale zeigen erste Wege auf, die im Rahmen einer zukünftig fortschreitenden Digitalisierung im Bereich der sozialen Sicherheit und der Sozialversicherungen bedacht werden sollten.Based on the recent introduction of EESSI, the task of this study is to identify further digitalization potential for the Systems of Social Security in Germany. In doing so, a medium to long-term perspective was adopted in order to highlight the potential of digitalization in the form of and on the basis of current and innovative concepts and technologies. The identification of the potential in different areas was based on semi-structured interviews with experts who are familiar with EESSI and general topics linked to the digitalization of the Social Security system in Germany. During this study, it was possible to consult regional and federal organizations in order to allow for the development of a broad picture of the current challenges concerning ongoing and future digitalization efforts. Next to EESSI, the conducted interviews discussed general challenges linked to digitalization processes. Based on these challenges, the digitalization potential was derived in different application areas. In doing so, multiple perspectives have been applied, to discuss not only potential benefits for the employees and the social security institutions, but also the benefits for citizens. If applicable, the derived potential was discussed in terms of its ability to prevent fraud and misuse within the systems of Social Security in Germany. In total, eight potential digitization approaches were derived and operationalized in the form of dedicated recommendations for action. They may show first paths that should be considered in the context of the future digitalization actions in the area of Social Security in Germany

Translation, interpreting, cognition: The way out of the box

Cognitive aspects of the translation process have become central in Translation and Interpreting Studies in recent years, further establishing the field of Cognitive Translatology. Empirical and interdisciplinary studies investigating translation and interpreting processes promise a hitherto unprecedented predictive and explanatory power. This collection contains such studies which observe behaviour during translation and interpreting. The contributions cover a vast area and investigate behaviour during translation and interpreting – with a focus on training of future professionals, on language processing more generally, on the role of technology in the practice of translation and interpreting, on translation of multimodal media texts, on aspects of ergonomics and usability, on emotions, self-concept and psychological factors, and finally also on revision and post-editing. For the present publication, we selected a number of contributions presented at the Second International Congress on Translation, Interpreting and Cognition hosted by the Tra&Co Lab at the Johannes Gutenberg University of Mainz
