Content Analysis in the Research Field of Public Diplomacy
Authors: Marschlich Sarah 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPublic diplomacy research in the realm of communication science has increased significantly since 2009, particularly in public relations and strategic organizational communication studies. Public diplomacy is generally conceived as a strategic communication instrument comprising different communication methods to inform and engage with foreign publics in order to advance the interests of nation-states. In this chapter, I focus on research on public diplomacy as the communication efforts of a nation (including those of the government itself and institutions that speak on behalf of the government) in advancing national interests and, ultimately, affecting the perception of a nation. In this regard, previous research has examined either subjects (communicators of public diplomacy messages) or objectives of public diplomacy communication.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Disinformation
Authors: Staender Anna , Humprecht Edda 
Published: September 2022

AbstractVarious recent events, such as the COVID-19 pandemic or the European elections in 2019, were marked by the discussion about potential consequences of the massive spread of misinformation, disinformation, and so-called “fake news.” Scholars and experts argue that fears of manipulated elections can undermine trust in democracy, increase polarization, and influence citizens’ attitudes and behaviors (Benkler et al. 2018; Tucker et al. 2018). This has led to an increase in scholarly work on disinformation, from less than 400 scientific articles per year before 2016 to about 1’500 articles in 2019. Within social sciences, surveys and experiments dominated in the last few years. Content analysis is used less frequently and studies conducting content analyses mostly use automated approaches or mixed methods designs.
Automated Content Analysis
Authors: Hase Valerie 
Published: September 2022

AbstractDue to the rise in processing power, advancements in machine learning, and the availability of large text corpora online, the use of computational methods including automated content analysis has rapidly increased. Automated content analysis is applied and developed across disciplines such as computer science, linguistics, political science, economics and – increasingly – communication science. This chapter offers a theoretical and applied introduction to the method, including promises and pitfalls associated with the method.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Corporate Communication
Authors: Lischka Juliane A. 
Published: September 2022

AbstractContent analyses in corporate communication can reveal organizational phenomena that are otherwise hard to obtain. Research themes are manifold and range from corporate social responsibility (CSR) and corporate reputation to stakeholder relations and crisis responses as well as corporate culture and employee commitment. Content analyses are able to assess concepts such as the vagueness of annual reports or the courage in speeches of chief executive officers (CEOs). Research designs employing content analysis follow qualitative, standardized manual, dictionary and machine-learning approaches, partly combined with surveys of stakeholder groups or interviews with corporate actors.
Die Inhaltsanalyse im Forschungsfeld der kommerziellen Werbung
Authors: Sommer Katharina 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungWerbung ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil sämtlicher Medieninhalte – trägt sie doch maßgeblich zur Finanzierung der Medien bei und ist somit ein bedeutender medienökonomischer Faktor. Werbeinhalte treffen in der Regel auf RezipientInnen, die nicht bewusst nach diesen Inhalten gesucht haben und der Werbung dementsprechend geringe Aufmerksamkeit entgegenbringen. Das heißt, dass Werbung durch gestalterische Mittel möglichst viel Aufmerksam- und Einprägsamkeit zu generieren versucht, um eine Wirkung auf die Erinnerung und eine Persuasionswirkung entfalten zu können. Bewegte und statische Bilder und das Zusammenspiel von Bild- und Textbotschaften sind daher in der Werbung zentral, stellen für die standardisierte Inhaltsanalyse allerdings auch eine Herausforderung dar. Zahlreiche inhaltsanalytische Studien befassen sich mit den Inhalten von Werbung, die an Kinder oder Heranwachsende als zentrale Zielgruppe gerichtet ist, und dabei dominiert die Frage nach möglichen (negativen) Folgen.
Die Inhaltsanalyse im Forschungsfeld der Justizkommunikation & Litigation-PR
Authors: Oehmer-Pedrazzi Franziska 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungIn modernen Gesellschaften ist auch die Justiz aufgrund des hohen Stellenwertes publizistischer und digitaler Medien als Informations- und Meinungsbildungsquelle zunehmend auf mediale, öffentliche Kommunikation angewiesen – auch wenn sie anders als PolitikerInnen und Parteien meist nicht direkt um Wählerstimmen buhlen müssen: Denn nur indem Informationen über rechtliche Prozesse und Urteile transparent gemacht und vermittelt werden, kann für die Legitimation und Anerkennung der Gerichte und ihrer Entscheide in der Bevölkerung geworben werden. Zudem sind die Justiz und Gerichtsprozesse auch ohne eigenes Zutun bereits häufig im Fokus medialen Interesses, da sie Aufmerksamkeit erregende Merkmale, wie die Nachrichtenfaktoren Schaden, Konflikt und auch Emotionalisierung auf sich vereinen können. Inhaltsanalytische Studien zu den Inhalten von Justizkommunikation interessieren sich zum einen für die vermittelten Informationen über die Justiz, Gerichte und Prozesse. Zum anderen werden der Stellenwert und die Inhalte von strategischer Justizkommunikation – Litigation-PR – untersucht. Das vorliegende Kapitel stellt zentrale theoretische Perspektiven, methodische Herangehensweisen und Variablen inhaltsanalytischer Studien zur Justizkommunikation vor.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Strategic Health Communication
Authors: von Samson-Himmelstjerna Caroline 
Published: September 2022

AbstractHealth Communication refers to “any type of human communication whose content is concerned with health” while strategic communication can be defined as “the purposeful, normative use of communication functions and discourse processes by organizations to accomplish their missions, visions, and core values”. The main characteristic of strategic communication is the communicator: an organization (in the broadest understanding) operating in the fields of management, marketing, public relations, technical communication, political communication, and information/social marketing campaigns. Strategic health communication can entail for example health campaigns and public service announcements (PSAs), public relations by health organizations and pharmaceutical companies, health policies and lobbying for health issues as well as advertisements of prescription and non-prescription drugs.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Science Communication
Authors: Wicke Nina 
Published: September 2022

AbstractScience communication can be understood as all forms of communication focusing on scientific knowledge and scientific work, both within and outside institutionalized science, including its production, content, use and effects. It encompasses internal and external communication, science journalism and public relations and is thus directed to and by scientists as well as non-scientists, using one-way and dialogue-oriented forms to communicate between science and the public sphere. The present article provides an overview of content analysis of the main communicators of science communication: scientists, universities and scientific institutions and non-scientific, alternative science communicators.
Die Inhaltsanalyse im Forschungsfeld der Risikokommunikation
Authors: Osterheider Angela 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungRisikokommunikation ist – nicht nur aus strategischer Perspektive – ein aktuelles und herausforderndes Thema. Sie wird definiert als interaktiver oder iterativer Prozess, innerhalb dessen Informationen und Meinungen über Risiken und Unsicherheiten zwischen Individuen, Gruppen und Institutionen ausgetauscht werden; im Mittelpunkt dieses Austauschs steht die Bewertung, Charakterisierung und das Management der Risiken. Im Bereich der (strategischen) Risikokommunikation bzw. der Risikokommunikation von Organisationen und Kommunikator*innen gibt es Überschneidungen mit den Forschungsgebieten Gesundheits- sowie Wissenschaftskommunikation. Auch die Übergänge zur Krisenkommunikation sind fließend: So ist die Kommunikation über Risiken auch ein Teil der Krisenkommunikation. Doch welche Aspekte der (strategischen) Risikokommunikation werden im Rahmen von inhaltsanalytischen Studien untersucht? Der Artikel gibt einen Überblick zu Forschungsdesigns und Methoden sowie zu Variablen, Trends und Perspektiven auf dem Gebiet der (strategischen) Risikokommunikation.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of conspiracy theories in the digital media environment
Authors: Zeng Jing 
Published: September 2022

AbstractIn recent years conspiracy theories have become increasingly “normalised, institutionalised and commercialized”, penetrating mainstream discourses and popular culture. This trend has fostered growing interest among scholars in examining how conspiracy theories function in legacy and new media. To this end, content analyses have become a highly relevant research method to systematically examine the communication patterns of conspiracy theories. Focusing on digital media, this chapter discusses the application of content analyses to research conspiracy theories.

Formats and Genres: Collecting formal variables during content analysis
Authors: Schwaiger Lisa , Vogler Daniel 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWhen researchers analyze journalistic media, they usually select and categorize a sample of different sources. Usually this process includes defining the formats as well as genres of the content that is analyzed. This is normally done before the actual coding process. Both variables refer to manifest categories, provide important information about the analyzed content and are widely used: Especially for journalistic, non-fictional content of print, broadcast or online media, on which we focus in this chapter.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Political Coverage
Authors: van der Velden Mariken A. C. G. , Loecherbach Felicia 
Published: September 2022

AbstractPolitical knowledge is widely viewed as a foundation for democracy. Scholars of political communication have long argued that how citizens gain political information can only be understood by studying the media. After all, most countries have a representational form of democracy, meaning that citizens hardly interact with politics and politicians themselves, but learn about politics and its politicians through the media. The coverage of politics, and more specifically policies or political issues, in news media has been particularly and abundantly studied by scholars of agenda setting, an approach which will be the focus of this chapter.
Content Analysis in the Research Field of Transnational Public Spheres
Authors: Lichtenstein Dennis 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe public sphere is a communication arena where speakers discuss political and societal issues, positions, and arguments in order to arrive at solutions for common problems. Normative functions of the public sphere in democracies, such as monitoring and control of politics, deliberation, and public opinion formation, have been extensively debated in the fields of communication and political theory, most frequently against the backdrop of the nation-state. Trends of globalization and global governance, however, go along with transformations of the state, the increasing involvement of transnational institutions, and major changes in media systems.
Einleitung
Authors: Imlig Flavian 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungDie politische Bearbeitung von Bildung und Schule hat sich in den letzten rund 20 Jahren weltweit deutlich verändert. Im Kern dieser Veränderung steht eine Intensivierung der Wahrnehmung von Schulen aus einer ökonomischen Perspektive und eine erhöhte Aufmerksamkeit auf jenen Aspekten von Schule, die in der damit verbundenen Terminologie als Output beschrieben werden. Mit der politischen Bearbeitung von Schule anhand ihrer Ergebnisse und Wirkungen wurde die internationale Diskussion bildungspolitischer Fragen intensiviert und aktualisiert (Criblez & Glaser, 2011; Gonon, 1998). In der vorliegenden Arbeit stehen dabei die gestiegenen Ansprüche an die Effizienz und Transparenz staatlichen Handelns im Fokus, die auch Forderungen nach einem entsprechenden Monitoring und einer auf Ergebnissen basierenden Berichterstattung umfassen. Das Phänomen Bildungsmonitoring wird dabei für die Schweiz näher untersucht. Neben einer Bestandsaufnahme der damit verbundenen Programme und Produkte auf nationaler und kantonaler Ebene steht insbesondere die Frage nach der begrifflichen und inhaltlichen Fassung dieser Art politischer Betrachtung und Bearbeitung von Bildung und Schule im Zentrum.
Vorgehen und Methoden
Authors: Imlig Flavian 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungIn der vorliegenden Arbeit wird Bildungsmonitoring als Generierung und Verarbeitung von Daten und Informationen zuhanden bildungspolitischer Akteure mit Methoden qualitativer empirischer Sozialforschung untersucht. Die methodologischen Bezüge gehen in Richtung der qualitativ-historischen Forschung, der Politikfeldanalyse und der Hermeneutik. Ebenfalls eingesetzt werden Verfahren der Typisierung und der qualitativ-theoretischen Faktorenanalyse.
Dimensionen von Bildungsmonitoring
Authors: Imlig Flavian 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungDas Phänomen der Generierung und der Verarbeitung von Wissen im Dienste der politischen Bearbeitung von Bildung wird in einer qualitativ-theoretischen Dimensionalanalyse theoretisch verdichtet. Die vier Dimensionen benennen Merkmale, zu denen im empirischen Material verschiedene Ausprägungen auffindbar sind. Die Dimension von Zweck und Funktion verweist auf die politische Einbettung von Bildungsmonitoring-Dispositiven. Auf der Dimension der Instrumente stellt sich die Vielfalt und die Materialität des Wissens in Bildungsmonitoring dar. Auf der Dimension der Produkte werden Wissen und Zweckzuschreibungen verknüpft. Auf dieser Dimension entsteht der Informations- und Kommunikationscharakter von Bildungsmonitoring. Prozesse und Akteure schliesslich deuten darauf hin, dass hinter Bildungsmonitoring politische Intentionen und Gestaltungsabsichten stehen. Die Beschreibung einer Dimension erfolgt jeweils auf der internationalen, der nationalen und der kantonalen Ebene.
Bildungsmonitoring als Institutional work
Authors: Imlig Flavian 
Published: September 2022

ZusammenfassungDie Generierung und Verarbeitung von Daten und Informationen zuhanden politischer Akteure wird im Folgenden als Institutional work dargestellt. Diese Perspektive ergänzt die qualitativ-theoretische Dimensionalanalyse und schliesst sowohl an die internationale Diskussion (Bormann et al., 2018) als auch an jüngere Theorieentwicklungen an (Houben, 2019; Langer & Brüsemeister, 2019a). Mit dem Institutional work-Konzept wird der Blick auf die Praxis von Akteuren und die Prozesse des Umgangs mit Institutionen geworfen. Die in Bildungsmonitoring vorzufindende Vermengung von Steuerungs- und Informationsaspekten wird in dieser Perspektive aufgenommen und als Wirkung über die Praxis involvierter Akteure theoretisch fassbar gemacht. Mit der Darstellung von Bildungsmonitoring als Institutional work wird zudem versucht, Governanceansatz und neo-institutionalistische Ansätze theoretisch zu verbinden.
Evolving Learner Support Systems
Authors: Panda Santosh 
Published: September 2022

AbstractWith changing scenarios in globalization, technologization, and conception of twenty-first-century learners and learning, distance teaching institutions are also gradually changing their delivery strategies and learner support systems. This is more visible in the following: from separation of course design and learner support to both forming an integral part of blended teaching-learning; from physical and geography-based operation to more technology-enabled networked operation; from largely behaviorist model to more of constructivist and connectivist models of course design and learner support; and from a humanistic support system to more of strategic support system. In these changing scenarios, however, the changes in academic practices have not kept pace with technology changes; and technology and market, rather than the scholarship of teaching and support, dominate the support discourse and practice. These developments raise various research questions which need to be investigated further. The analysis in the chapter shows that the future of distance and online learning vis-à-vis learner support is poised to shift from the “course material-tutoring” system to the “networked-interactive-intelligent” system, though both will continue for quite some time to come. Institutional leaders, faculty, and other stakeholders need to engage with further articulation and reflection toward evolving a quality, productive, pedagogy-led, and learner-friendly support system.
Newer Theories for Digital Learning Spaces
Authors: Downes Stephen 
Published: September 2022

AbstractThe emergence of newer theories for digital learning spaces occurs because of a general dissatisfaction with the theorizing of earlier generations of open and distance education (ODE). After an outline of the traditional conception of the requirements for a “learning theory,” this article traces the sources for this dissatisfaction in traditional theories such as behaviourism and cognitivism, then traces some theoretical attempts to address them. It identifies a range of emerging theories, including connectivist pedagogy, personal learning environments, and open educational practices, characterizing these in terms of their response to the original dissatisfaction. It then returns to the characterization of a “learning theory,” suggesting that in the light of this new work a reconceptualization of theory may be required.
$$ \mathcal{CP} $$ structure of the top-quark Yukawa interaction: NLO QCD corrections and off-shell effects
Authors: Hermann Jonathan , Stremmer Daniel , Worek Malgorzata 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
Since its discovery at the Large Hadron Collider in 2012 the Higgs boson has arguably become the most famous of the Standard Model particles and many measurements have been performed in order to assess its properties. Among others, these include measurements of the Higgs boson’s $$ \mathcal{CP} $$

In addition, we show that both NLO corrections and off-shell effects play an important role even at the level of integrated fiducial cross-sections and that these are further enhanced in differential distributions. Even though we focus here on the Standard Model Higgs boson, the calculations could be straightforwardly applied to models that have an extended Higgs-boson sector and predict the existence of $$ \mathcal{CP} $$

Sleptonic SUSY: from UV framework to IR phenomenology
Authors: Agashe Kaustubh , Ekhterachian Majid , Liu Zhen , Sundrum Raman 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
We study an attractive scenario, “Sleptonic SUSY”, which reconciles the 125 GeV Higgs scalar and the non-observation of superpartners thus far with potentially pivotal roles for slepton phenomenology: providing viable ongoing targets for LHC discovery, incorporating a co-annihilation partner for detectable thermal relic dark matter, and capable of mediating the potential muon g − 2 anomaly. This is accomplished by a modestly hierarchical spectrum, with sub-TeV sleptons and electroweakinos and with multi-TeV masses for the other new states. We study new elements in the UV MSSM realization of Sleptonic SUSY based on higher-dimensional sequestering and the synergy between the resulting gaugino-mediation, hypercharge D-term mediation and Higgs-mediation of SUSY-breaking, so as to more fully capture the range of possibilities. This framework stands out by harmoniously solving the flavor, CP and μ − Bμ problems of the supersymmetric paradigm. We discuss its extension to orbifold GUTs, including gauge-coupling and b-tau unification. We also develop a non-minimal model with extra Higgs fields, in which the electroweak vacuum is more readily cosmologically stable against decay to a charge-breaking vacuum, allowing a broader range of sleptonic spectra than in the MSSM alone. We survey the rich set of signals possible at the LHC and future colliders, covering both R-parity conservation and violation, as well as for dark matter detection. While the multi-TeV squarks imply a Little Hierarchy Problem, intriguingly, small changes in parameter space to improve naturalness result in dramatic phase transitions to either electroweak-preservation or charge-breaking. In a Multiverse setting, the modest unnaturalness may then be explained by the “principle of living dangerously”.
Electroweak corrections and shower effects to Higgs production in association with two jets at the LHC
Authors: Jäger Barbara , Scheller Johannes 
Published: September 2022

Abstract
We present an implementation of the full electroweak H + 2 jets production process at hadron colliders in the framework of the POWHEG BOX, a public tool for the matching of fixed-order perturbative calculations with parton shower generators. Our implementation allows for the simultaneous description of vector-boson fusion and Higgsstrahlung contributions. NLO-QCD and electroweak corrections are taken into account and matched to QCD and QED showers, respectively. The size of the fixed-order QCD and electroweak corrections is found to be moderate, but dependent on the considered selection cuts. QCD shower effects slightly modify the NLO-QCD predictions and are most pronounced for distributions of non-tagging jets. The impact of QED shower effects is small.
