description: For decades, uncertainty quantification techniques based on the spectral approach have been demonstrated to be computationally more efficient than the Monte Carlo method for a wide variety of problems, particularly when the dimensionality of the probability space is relatively low. The time-dependent generalized polynomial chaos (TD-gPC) is one such technique that uses an evolving orthogonal basis to better represent the stochastic part of the solution space in time. In this paper, we present a new numerical method that uses the concept of 'enriched stochastic flow maps' to track the evolution of the stochastic part of the solution space in time. The computational cost of this proposed flow-driven stochastic chaos (FSC) method is an order of magnitude lower than TD-gPC for comparable solution accuracy. This gain in computational cost is realized because, unlike most existing methods, the number of basis vectors required to track the stochastic part of the solution space, and consequently the computational cost associated with the solution of the resulting system of equations, does not depend upon the dimensionality of the probability space. Four representative numerical examples are presented to demonstrate the performance of the FSC method for long-time integration of second-order stochastic dynamical systems in the context of stochastic dynamics of structures.

description: In the three-dimensional anti-de Sitter spacetime/two-dimensional conformal field theory correspondence, we derive the imaginary-time path-integral of a non-relativistic particle in the anti-de Sitter bulk space, which is dual to the ground state, from the holographic principle. This derivation is based on (i) the author's previous argument that the holographic principle asserts that the anti-de Sitter bulk space as a holographic tensor network after classicalization has as many stochastic classicalized spin degrees of freedom as there are sites and (ii) the reinterpretation of the Euclidean action of a free particle as the action of classicalized spins.

title: Praktische Konsequenzen der (neuen) nationalen/supranationalen gesetzlichen Grundlagen von digitalen Inhalten in Verbrauchergeschäften
Creators: name: Riedler, Corinna

description: Diese Arbeit befasst sich umfassend mit der rechtlichen Thematik der digitalen Inhalte in Verbrauchergeschäften. Praktische Probleme bzw Herausforderungen werden anhand der derzeit gültigen Rechtslage skizziert. Ein zentraler Punkt sind jedenfalls Apps und In-App-Käufe und der rechtliche Umgang mit dieser Materie im E-Commerce-Gesetz bzw im FAGG. Neben der Aufarbeitung des Begriffs „digitale Inhalte“ werden vor allem die Möglichkeiten eines Rücktrittsrechts und dessen Folgen für Unternehmer und Konsument näher beleuchtet. Aufgrund des Rechtsdurchsetzungsdefizits für Verbraucher gewinnen die alternativen Streitbeilegungsverfahren durch Schlichtungsstellen immer mehr an Bedeutung. Die Arbeit der Schlichtungsstellen und deren Wichtigkeit werden überblicksmäßig ausgeführt. Da gerade der digitale Binnenmarkt keine geographischen Grenzen zieht, werden in dieser Arbeit auch die rechtlichen Grundlagen für einen Bezug aus dem Ausland erörtert. Schließlich wird versucht die zukünftige rechtliche Entwicklung (insb Digitale-Inhalte-Richtlinie 2019/770/EU) und vor allem deren praktische Relevanz darzustellen.
description: This thesis comprehensively deals with the legal implications of digital content in B2C transactions. Problems and challenges that may arise in practice are outlined on the basis 57ort h legislation currently in force. Central points are apps, in-app purchases and the way in which this matter is legally dealt with in the Austrian E-Commerce Act [E-Commerce-Gesetz] and the Austrian Act on Distance and Off-Premises Transactions [Fern- und Auswärtsgeschäfte-Gesetz/FAGG]. In addition to an analysis 57ort h term „digital content“ the possibilities of a right of rescission including the consequences for businesses and consumers are examined in detail. Due to the deficit in the enforcement of consumer rights alternative dispute resolution procedures through conciliation boards are increasingly gaining importance. The work of conciliation boards and their importance are presented in the form of an overview. As the digital single market, in particular, draws no limits, the legal bases for cross-border transactions are also discussed in this paper. 57 Finally, an attempt is made to describe future legal developments (in particular Directive (EU) 2019/770 on certain aspects concerning contracts 58ort he supply of digital content and digital services) and their practical relevance.

description: We prove that a matrix from the split orthogonal group over a polynomial ring with coefficients in a small-dimensional ring can be reduced to a smaller matrix by a bounded number of elementary orthogonal transformations. The bound is given explicitly. This result is an effective version of the early stabilisation of the orthogonal K1 functor proven by Suslin and Kopeiko. Since the similar effective results for special linear and symplectic groups were obtained by Vaserstein, the present paper closes the problem for split classical groups.

description: Die Arbeit soll sich der Frage widmen, welche Prozesse sich am Ende der römischen Herrschaft über die Provinz Pannonien abspielen und wie die Bevölkerung darauf reagiert. Besonderes Augenmerk soll daraufgelegt werden, wie sich dieser Wandel im archäologischen Fundmaterial niederschlägt. Zuerst wird anhand von zwei Fallbeispielen die archäologische Situation und die Befundentwicklung im 4. und 5. nachchristlichen Jahrhundert betrachtet, bevor ein Vergleich mit anderen Fundstellen der Provinz und unter den beiden Fallbeispielen selbst angestellt wird. Die villa rustica von Halbturn, genauer gesagt ihr Gräberfeld, soll stellvertretend für den ländlichen Raum und seine Bevölkerung stehen; das Legionslager und die Zivilstadt von Vindobona werden als Beispiel für das Leben am limes genutzt. Die anschließende Untersuchung umfasst neben dem erwähnten direkten Vergleich zwischen den beiden Fallbeispielen auch jenen zwischen den Legionslagern Vindobona und Carnuntum sowie mehreren Fundstellen innerhalb der Provinz Pannonien.
title: Leistungsturniere: eine Gegenüberstellung analytischer und experimenteller Forschung in einem ökonomischen Rahmen
Creators: name: Dziedzic, Mateusz
Year: 2019

description: Die Delegation von Aufgaben und Kompetenzen birgt ein gewisses Risiko, wenn der direkte Einsatz der Auftragnehmer kaum oder nur mit einem hohen Aufwand feststellbar ist. Die Auftragnehmer könnten nämlich die Informationsasymmetrie nutzen und sich vor Einsatz drücken (Hidden Action Problematik). Als mögliche Lösungsansätze für den Umgang mit der Hidden Action Problematik in Vertragsbeziehungen zwischen Auftraggebern und Auftragnehmern in der Praxis werden Anreizmechanismen genannt. Diese Arbeit legt den Fokus auf einen spezifischen Anreizmechanismus, nämlich das relative Leistungsturnier. Sie geht der Frage nach, ob durch das Variieren des jeweiligen Elementes der Preisgestaltung im Turnier (Preisspanne, Anteil der Gewinnerpreise, Anzahl der Preise) der Einsatz der Turnierteilnehmer beeinflusst werden kann, wodurch eine Abschwächung der Hidden Action Problematik erfolgen könnte. Als Methode zur Überprüfung der Fragestellung wurde die Gegenüberstellung analytischer und experimenteller Forschung gewählt. Im Zuge der Gegenüberstellung zeigten sich für die drei Elemente der Preisgestaltung im Turnier sowohl konträre als auch übereinstimmende Resultate wobei es u.a. von Faktoren wie der Art des Experiments abhängig war.
description: The delegation of tasks and competences to agents carries a certain risk since the assessment of their effort can be difficult and/or costly. Agents could make use of the asymmetry of information and withhold effort (hidden action problem). Incentive mechanisms are mentioned as possible solutions for dealing with the hidden action problem in contractual relations between principals and agents in practice. This thesis focuses on a specific incentive mechanism, the rank-order tournament. It investigates the question of whether the effort of tournament participants can be influenced by a variation of the respective element of the tournament's prize structure (prize spread, fraction of the winner prizes, number of prizes), which could weaken the hidden action problem. The comparison of analytical and experimental research was chosen as the method for examining the question. In the course of the comparison, the results regarding the influence of the three elements of the tournament's pricing were both contradictory and consistent in light of the methodology chosen, depending, among other things, on factors such as the type of the experiment.

description: We present general existence and uniqueness results for marked models with pair interactions, exemplified through Gibbs point processes on path space. More precisely, we study a class of infinite-dimensional diffusions under Gibbsian interactions, in the context of marked point configurations: the starting points belong to $\mathbb{R}^d$, and the marks are the paths of Langevin diffusions. We use the entropy method to prove existence of an infinite-volume Gibbs point process and use cluster expansion tools to provide an explicit activity domain in which uniqueness holds.

description: Magnetic structures are known to possess magnon excitations confined to their surfaces and interfaces, but these spatially localized modes are often not resolved in spectroscopy experiments. We develop a theory to calculate the confined magnon spectra and its associated spin scattering function, which is the physical observable in neutron and electron scattering, and a proxy for photon spectroscopy based on X-ray, Raman and THz sources. We show that extra anisotropy at the surface or interface plays a key role in magnon confinement. We obtain analytical expressions for the confinement length scale, and show that it is qualitatively similar for ferromagnets and antiferromagnets in dimension d>=2. For d=1 we find remarkable differences between ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic models. The theory indicates the presence of several confined magnon resonances in addition to the usual magnons thought to explain the excitations of magnetic nanostructures. Detecting these modes may elucidate the impact of the interface on spin anisotropy and magnetic order.

description: Das Ziel, der vorliegenden Arbeit ist es, den Eintritt der Kinder in den niederösterreichischen Landeskindergarten, aus Sicht der Tagesbetreuungseinrichtung zu untersuchen und zu analysieren. Die praktische Gestaltung dieses Überganges und die Kooperationsarbeit zwischen den beiden Einrichtungen stehen im Vordergrund. Da die erfolgreiche Bewältigung des ersten Überganges, von der Familie in die institutionelle Betreuung, wegweisend für die nachfolgenden Übergänge ist, werden in den theoretischen Abhandlungen neben Übergängen zwischen Institutionen, auch die Eingewöhnung in eine Institution diskutiert. Mit Hilfe eines Leitfadeninterviews werden die Daten erhoben und anschließend mit der Dokumentarischen Methode nach Ralf Bohnsack ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse der Analyse weisen darauf hin, dass es unterschiedliche Rahmenbedingungen und Arten der Übergangsgestaltung gibt und diese immer individuell verläuft. Es wird aufgezeigt, dass sich eine intensive Zusammenarbeit mit der kooperierenden Institution, positiv auf die Elternarbeit und die Übergangsgestaltungs- und bewältigung auswirken kann.
description: The aim of this thesis is to research and to analyze the transition of the children into the kindergarten from the view of the childcare facility in area of Lower-Austria The main focus ist the practical design of this transition and the cooperation between these two institutions. The successful completion of the first transition from the family to the institutional care is important for the next transitions. Frankly spoken is the first transition pathbreaking for all later trasnsition in the life (change of school, change of employment) So the first transition called “acclimatization” is deeply analyced in the theoretical chapter. The data are collected by using guideline interviews and will be evaluated by the documentary method by Ralf Bohnsack. The results of the analysis are showing that there are different frameworks and types of transitional arrangements. The design is always individual. It shows how important the intensive cooperation between the institution is and how impotant for the transitional design and a positiv coping.
Gauge Enhanced Quantum Criticality Beyond the Standard Model

description: Standard lore views our 4d quantum vacuum governed by one of the candidate Standard Models (SMs), while lifting towards some Grand Unification-like structure (GUT) at higher energy scales. In contrast, in our work, we introduce an alternative view that the SM arises from various neighbor vacua competition in a quantum phase diagram. In general, we regard the SM arising near the gapless quantum criticality (either critical points or critical regions) between the competing neighbor vacua. In particular, we demonstrate how the $su(3)\times su(2)\times u(1)$ SM with 16n Weyl fermions arises near the quantum criticality between the GUT competition of Georgi-Glashow (GG) $su(5)$ and Pati-Salam (PS) $su(4)\times su(2)\times su(2)$. We propose two enveloping toy models. Model I is a conventional $so(10)$ GUT with a Spin(10) gauge group plus GUT-Higgs potential inducing various Higgs transitions. Model II modifies Model I plus a 4d discrete torsion Wess-Zumino-Witten-like term built from GUT-Higgs field (that matches a nonperturbative global mixed gauge-gravity anomaly captured by a 5d invertible topological field theory $w_2w_3$), which manifests a Beyond-Landau-Ginzburg criticality between GG and PS models, with extra Beyond-the-Standard-Model (BSM) excitations emerging near a quantum critical region. If the internal symmetries were treated as global symmetries, we show a gapless 4d deconfined quantum criticality with new BSM fractionalized fragmentary excitations of Color-Flavor separation, and gauge enhancement including a Dark Gauge force sector, altogether requiring a double fermionic Spin structure named DSpin. If the internal symmetries are dynamically gauged, we show a 4d boundary criticality such that only appropriately gauge enhanced dynamical GUT gauge fields propagate into an extra-dimensional 5d bulk. The phenomena may be regarded as SM deformation or morphogenesis.

description: Consider a card guessing game with complete feedback in which a deck of $n$ cards ordered $1,\dots, n$ is riffle-shuffled once. With the goal to maximize the number of correct guesses, a player guesses cards from the top of the deck one at a time under the optimal strategy until no cards remain. We provide an expression for the expected number of correct guesses with arbitrary number of terms, an accuracy improvement over the results of Liu (2021). In addition, using generating functions, we give a unified framework for systematically calculating higher-order moments. Although the extension of the framework to $k\geq2$ shuffles is not immediately straightforward, we are able to settle a long-standing McGrath's conjectured optimal strategy described in Bayer and Diaconis (1992) by showing that the optimal guessing strategy for $k=1$ riffle shuffle does not necessarily apply to $k\geq2$ shuffles.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit gibt einen Überblick über die Problembereiche der Europäischen Union aus der Perspektive junger, politisch und gewerkschaftlich organisierter Personen. Dabei wurde der Fokus auf die EU-Mitgliedsstaaten Italien und Frankreich gelegt. Die Basis der Masterarbeit stellen qualitative Interviews mit sechs französischen und italienischen GewerkschafterInnen oder PolitikerInnen, welche zwischen 18 und 35 Jahre alt sind, dar. Durch die Einbettung der Ergebnisse in Fachliteratur wurde die europäische Dimension in nationalen Politikbereichen herausgearbeitet. Hierbei bezog ich mich vor allem auf Beiträge aus dem Sammelband von Attac 2018 zur EU, und auf Fulton 2013 zu gewerkschaftlichen Strukturen. So konnte der Frage nachgegangen werden, wo in der Europäischen Union akuter Änderungs- und Handlungsbedarf besteht, und welche Vorschläge und Visionen eine junge engagierte Generation zum Erhalt der EU hat. Diese identifizierten Problemfelder sind europäisch und werden gleichzeitig auf nationaler Ebene (mit-)ausgehandelt. Diese Arbeit soll zumindest für die beiden Länderbeispiele zeigen, wie unterschiedlich nationale Strukturen auf dem europäischen Kontinent gewachsen sind, und wie in Folge auch die EU als Produkt eben jener begriffen werden muss. Gleichzeitig werden einheitliche europaweite Standards in den identifizierten Politikbereichen, die konkrete Umsetzung einer sozialen Dimension und eine European Governance für den Erhalt der EU als essentiell erachtet.
description: This master’s thesis gives an overview of the problem areas of the European Union from the perspective of young, politically active persons. The focus lies on the EU member states Italy and France. The master's thesis is based on qualitative interviews with six French and Italian trade unionists or politicians who are between 18 and 35 years old. The European dimension in national policy areas was elaborated by embedding the results in specialist literature. In doing so, I mainly referred to contributions from the anthology of Attac 2018 on the EU, and to Fulton 2013 on trade union structures. This made it possible to investigate the question of where in the European Union there is an acute need for change and action, and what proposals and visions a young committed generation has for the preservation of the EU. These identified problem areas are European and at the same time (co-)negotiated at national level. This work is intended to show, at least for the two examples given, how differently national structures have grown on the European continent, and how, as a result, the EU must also be understood as a product of precisely that. At the same time, consistent Europe-wide standards in the identified policy areas, the concrete implementation of a social dimension and European Governance are regarded as essential for the preservation of the EU.

description: Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs) are extra-galactic radio transients which exhibit a distance-dependent dispersion of their signal, and thus can be used as cosmological probes. In this article we, for the first time, apply a model-independent approach to measure reionization from synthetic FRB data assuming these signals are detected beyond redshift 5. This method allows us to constrain the full shape of the reionization history as well as the CMB optical depth $τ$ while avoiding the problems of commonly used model-based techniques. 100 localized FRBs, originating from redshifts 5-15, could constrain (at 68% confidence level) the CMB optical depth to within 11%, and the midpoint of reionization to 4%, surpassing current state-of-the-art CMB bounds and quasar limits. Owing to the higher numbers of expected FRBs at lower redshifts, the $τ$ constraints are asymmetric (+14%, -7%) providing a much stronger lower limit. Finally, we show that the independent constraints on reionization from FRBs will improve limits on other cosmological parameters such as the amplitude of the power spectrum of primordial fluctuations.

description: Cortical actin networks are highly dynamic and play critical roles in shaping the mechanical properties of cells. The actin cytoskeleton undergoes significant reorganization over the course of the cell cycle, when cortical actin transitions between open patched meshworks, homogeneous distributions, and aligned bundles. Several types of myosin motor proteins, characterized by different kinetic parameters, have been involved in this reorganization of actin filaments. Given the limitations in studying the interactions of actin with myosin in vivo, we propose stochastic agent-based model simulations and develop a set of data analysis measures to assess how myosin motor proteins mediate various actin organizations. In particular, we identify individual motor parameters, such as motor binding rate and step size, that generate actin networks with different levels of contractility and different patterns of myosin motor localization. In simulations where two motor populations with distinct kinetic parameters interact with the same actin network, we find that motors may act in a complementary way, by tuning the actin network organization, or in an antagonistic way, where one motor emerges as dominant. This modeling and data analysis framework also uncovers parameter regimes where spatial segregation between motor populations is achieved. By allowing for changes in kinetic rates during the actin-myosin dynamic simulations, our work suggests that certain actin-myosin organizations may require additional regulation beyond mediation by motor proteins in order to reconfigure the cytoskeleton network on experimentally-observed timescales.

title: Wie man richtig integriert - eine Gegenüberstellung des Riemann'schen und des Lebesgue'schen Integrals
Creators: name: Schnabl, Teresa
Year: 2019

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den beiden Integralbegriffen - dem Riemann Integral und dem Lebesgue Integral. Das Riemann Integral gilt als fixer Bestandteil im Lehrstoff von höheren Schulen, wohingegen das Lebesgue Integral vor allem für theoretische Überlegungen Anwendung gefunden hat, da es in Bezug auf die Anzahl der integrierbaren Funktionen das Riemann Integral klar übertrifft. Dennoch hat das Riemann Integral vor allem für den praktischen Gebrauch auf Grund dessen Einfachheit einige Vorteile. Auf diese sowie weitere Besonderheiten und Schwächen der beiden angesprochen Integralbegriffe wird in dieser Arbeit eingegangen. Damit dies möglich ist, wird zunächst auf die Definition der beiden Integralbegriffe hingeführt. Sie werden dann dadurch verdeutlicht, dass in ausführlicher Art und Weise diverse Rechenregeln und Zusammenhänge sowie vor allem auch die Konvergenzeigenschaften des Riemann’schen und des Lebesgue’schen Integralbegriffs dargelegt werden. Den Abschluss bildet eine zusammenfassende Gegenüberstellung, wodurch die Unterschiede und Gemeinsamkeiten herausgearbeitet sowie die Einbettung des Integralbegriffes im Schulunterricht österreichischer höherer Schulen unterschiedlicher Schwerpunkte dargelegt werden sollen.
description: The following paper examines the two integral concepts - the Riemann Integral and the Lebesgue Integral. The Riemann Integral is a fixed component in the curricula of secondary schools, whereas the Lebesgue Integral has been used primarily for theoretical considerations. It clearly exceeds the Riemann Integral in terms of the number of integrable functions. Nevertheless, the Riemann Integral has some advantages especially for practical use due to its simplicity. This and further advantages and weaknesses of the two addressed integral concepts are focused on the following pages. As a requirement to make this comparison possible, the definition of the two integral terms is first referred to. They are then clarified by the detailed description of various calculation rules and correlations as well as, above all, the convergence properties of Riemann’s and Lebesgue’s integral concepts. The conclusion summarizingly compares, whereby the differences and similarities of it are worked out as well as the embedding of the integral concept in the school teaching of Austrian higher schools of different emphasis are to be set out.
title: Das Palais Todesco in Wien
Creators: name: Jann, Andrea

description: Grundlegendes Thema der vorliegenden Masterarbeit ist das Palais der Familie Todesco in Wien. Dieser Bau wird aufgrund fehlender monographischer Auseinandersetzung einer umfassenden kunsthistorischen Analyse unterzogen. Das Gebäude wurde in den Jahren 1861-1864 in der Kärntner Straße 51 als eines der ersten Palais im Stil des Historismus erbaut. Der Auftraggeber war Eduard Todesco, ein Mitglied der sogenannten zweiten Gesellschaft. Die rumänisch-jüdische Familie zählte zu dem Zeitpunkt, als sie den prominenten Platz am Ring einnahmen, erst seit einer Generation zur vermögenden Wiener Gesellschaft. Der Bauherr war in der zweiten Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts einer der einflussreichsten jüdischen Unternehmer und Privatbankiers der Habsburger Monarchie. Seine Frau Sophie, eine geborene Gomperz, ebenfalls aus einer Bankiersfamilie entstammend, unterhielt einen der einflussreichsten Künstlersalons und platzierte das Haus als Treffpunkt der besten Wiener Gesellschaft und als eines der Zentren des Gesellschaftslebens der „haute finance“ Wiens. Als Architekt fungierte der führende Architekt der Wiener Stadterweiterung Ludwig Förster. Um die Bedeutung des äußerst herausragenden Baugrundes gegenüber der Wiener Staatsoper erläutern zu können, wird ein grober Überblick über die Pläne zur Wiener Stadterweiterung gegeben. Das Palais Todesco ist der Gebäudegattung nach als Zinspalais zu bezeichnen. Das Grundprinzip eines solchen Baus ist es, das Repräsentationsbedürfnis des Auftraggebers durch die Fassade, sowie die Wohnung in der sogenannten Beletage beziehungsweise deren künstlerische Ausstattung in Einklang zu bringen. Die Rentabilität eines Zinshauses, also Vermietung von Geschäfts- und Wohnräumlichkeiten, sichern dem Hausherren den Ertrag. Für die Innenausstattung konnte der Däne Theophil Hansen gewonnen werden, der diese als Gesamtkunstwerk konzipierte. Die öffentlichen Räume der Beletage wurden mit größter Sorgfalt ausgestaltet und galten als die schönsten Interieurs ihrer Zeit. Besonderes Augenmerk wurde auf die malerische Ausstattung der Prunkräume gelegt, die von Carl Rahl entworfen wurden. Die Werkgenese des Paris-Zyklus des Speisesaals konnte genau erläutert werden, da sowohl die Entwürfe von Hansen, als auch von Rahl, sowie die Kartons von Bitterlich erhalten sind, der für sämtliche Kartons verantwortlich zeichnete. Einer der besten Schüler von Rahl, Christian Griepenkerl, wurde für die malerische Gestaltung beauftragt. Erstmals werden alle Entwürfe Hansens für dieses Palais untersucht und mit der tatsächlichen Ausführung verglichen.

description: Was bewegt den Menschen, ins Ausland zur Behandlung zu fahren? Die gegenwärtige Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Frage wie die Patienten zur Entscheidung kommen, sich in Wien behandeln zu lassen und welche Rolle dabei soziales Kapital spielt. Nach Darlegung der aktuellen Studienergebnisse, sowie der Festlegung des theoretischen Rahmens aufgrund hauptsächlich drei wirksame Kommunikationsmodelle -Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), Uses and Gratification Approach (UGA) und Gatekeeper werden schließlich –anhand der vorgestellten Literatur –die Forschungsfrage mit den dazugehörigen Hypothesen erläutert. Das Ziel der Studie ist die Beobachtung der Zusammenhänge zwischen persönliches und soziales Netzwerk (soziales Kapital) und die Leichtigkeit des Entscheidungstreffens. In diesem Sinne wird in dieser Sektion diskutiert, ob signifikante Korrelationen zwischen Messungsvariablen des persönlichen und sozialen Netzwerks und der generierten Entscheidungskonstrukts vorhanden sind. Die Hypothesen der Arbeit haben festgestellt, dass die Leichtigkeit des Entscheidungstreffens, messend mit dem Mangel der Wachsamkeit, Selbstzufriedenheit und Selbstvertrauen in einer negativen Korrelation mit Messungsvariablen des persönlichen und sozialen Netzwerks bestehen.
description: What motivates people to go abroad for treatment? Current work addresses the question of how patients decide to seek treatment in Vienna and what role social capital plays in it. Following the presentation of the current study results as well as the definition of the theoretical framework based on mainly three effective communication models -Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM), Uses and Gratification Approach (UGA) and Gatekeeper Theory, the research question and the associated hypotheses will be explained using the presented literature.The aim of the study is to observe the relationships between the personal and social network and the ease of decision-making. In this sense, this section discusses whether there are significant correlations between measurement variables of the personal and social network and the generated decision construct. The hypotheses of the work have stated that the ease of decision-making, measured with the lack of alertness, complacency and self-confidence, exist in a negative correlation with measurement variables of the personal and social network.
