„I’m in need of a savior ...“: Die Frage nach Gott und dem persönlichen (Un-)Glauben in der stationären Jugendhilfe

Welche Bedeutung hat der Glaube von Jugendlichen in heutiger Zeit? Kann er vielleicht gerade für junge Menschen, die mit komplexen Herausforderungen des Lebens belastet sind, eine Ressource sein? Von dieser Frage ausgehend hat der Autor ein Gespräch mit Jugendlichen geführt, die in der stationären Jugendhilfe leben. Deutlich wird, dass gerade junge Menschen die Institution Kirche bewusst ablehnen, sich in ihren Lebensthemen gleichzeitig aber existenzielle Fragen verbergen. Der Autor plädiert für einen offenen Religionsbegriff und zeigt ungewöhnliche Wege, mit Jugendlichen in einen Austausch über die großen Fragen des Lebens zu kommen. Abschließend werden Konsequenzen für den pädagogischen Alltag zusammengefasst. How important is faith for adolescents today? Can it become a resource especially for young people struggling with the complex challenges of modern life? Taking the lead from this question, the author spoke to adolescents living in residential communities. It became clear that, although especially young people consciously reject the institutional church, they still encounter existential questions in many situations in life. The author pleads for a more open understanding of religion and reveals unusual ways to strike up conversations with adolescents about important life questions. In his closing remarks, the author summarizes the impact on everyday educational work

¿Afecta la política de cohesión europea a la dinámica empresarial regional?

This paper assesses whether European Cohesion Policy funds from the 2007-2013 programming period affected business dynamics in European regions. Using a regression discontinuity approach, the analysis shows that regions receiving more funds experienced higher firm births, without statistically significant firm deaths, resulting in positive net firm creation and growing firm-related employment. In addition, this study confirms previous findings in the literature according to which regions receiving more funds show higher increases in gross value added per worker. Finally, funds have a significantly higher effect on net business employment creation in regions with lower levels of perceived corruption, although this is not necessarily conductive to higher levels of labour productivity in those regions.Este documento evalúa si los fondos de la Política de Cohesión Europea del período de programación 2007-2013 afectaron la dinámica empresarial en las regiones europeas. Usando un enfoque de discontinuidad de regresión, el análisis muestra que las regiones que reciben más fondos experimentaron un mayor nacimiento de empresas, sin muertes de empresas estadísticamente significativas, lo que resultó en una creación neta de empresas positiva y un aumento del empleo relacionado con las empresas. Además, este estudio confirma hallazgos previos en la literatura según los cuales las regiones que reciben más fondos muestran mayores incrementos en el valor agregado bruto por trabajador. Finalmente, los fondos tienen un efecto significativamente mayor en la creación neta de empleo empresarial en regiones con niveles más bajos de corrupción percibida, aunque esto no conduce necesariamente a niveles más altos de productividad laboral en esas regiones

Eras of Digital Entrepreneurship

While recent research continues to emphasize the importance of digital entrepreneurship, the historical terminology of this field is often overlooked. Digital entrepreneurship tends to be considered a new phenomenon despite emerging in the early 1990s. Building on a scoping literature review, this study analyzes 1354 publications that use nine different terms interchangeably to describe the phenomenon of digital entrepreneurship. Based on the number of publications per year, three eras in the historical development of digital entrepreneurship research are outlined. Digital technologies are identified as external enablers, and certain practical events are considered to be influencing factors. The results show that recent research has not adequately recognized the contributions of previous publications and that the understanding of digital entrepreneurship is quite similar with regard to the terms used and over time. This study shows how emerging digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain technology, and big data analytics, might shape the future of digital entrepreneurship research. The study occupies the intersection between entrepreneurship and information systems literature and its main contribution is to provide new insights into the eras of digital entrepreneurship from the past to the present and into the future
