    This open access book shows the breadth and various facets of e-Science, while also illustrating their shared core. Changes in scientific work are driven by the shift to grid-based worlds, the use of information and communication systems, and the existential infrastructure, which includes global collaboration. In this context, the book addresses emerging issues such as open access, collaboration and virtual communities and highlights the diverse range of developments associated with e-Science. As such, it will be of interest to researchers and scholars in the fields of information technology and knowledge management.

    Access to identification cards (IDs) is often required to claim government benefits. However, it is unclear which policies to increase ID ownership are more effective. We experimentally analyze the effect of two policy interventions to induce the timely renewal of identification cards on access to a government social program in Panama. Sending reminders about expiration dates increased the probability of on-time renewals and of accessing benefits from a social program by 12 and 4.3 percentage points, respectively, relative to a control group. In contrast, allowing individuals to renew their ID online only increased renewals and access to benefits by 8 and 2.9 percentage points, respectively. This result was driven by lower-income individuals. The results suggest that policies to increase ownership of valid identity documentation can reduce inclusion errors in government programs and that simply granting access to digital tools may not be enough to unlock important effects.

    From Aristotle to Ricardo and Menger, economists have emphasised the function of money as a medium of exchange together with the intrinsic qualities that increase its saleability and credibility as a most liquid store of value. But the social institution of money co-evolves with technology. It is significant that the advent of digital cryptocurrencies was initiated by computer scientists and has taken economists completely by surprise. As a consequence, it also forces our profession to rethink the basic phenomenology of money. In accordance with the views of Wieser and Schumpeter, digitization brings to the fore its immaterial function as a standard of value and social technology of account, which increasingly absorbs that of a medium of exchange. The potential impact on economic policy is huge. The variety of different crypto coins has proven the technical feasibility of competing private currencies as proposed by Hayek. In the long term, however, there is reason to doubt the persistence of intense competition. One must fear that major digital platforms will extend their current dominance in multisided virtual market places to include digital payments and money. Central banks are increasingly anxious to preserve public sovereignty over the common unit of account and consider issuing their own digital fiat money. After the current era of intense creative experimentation, the potentially new spontaneous order of private crypto-currencies is likely to be supplanted by central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), the design of which will depend on deliberate public choices and policies.

    Die globale COVID-19 Pandemie rückt nicht nur gesundheitliche und soziale Aspekte in den Fokus, sondern auch die Thematik der Digitalisierung. Universitäten mussten hier schnell (re)agieren und ihre Anpassungsfähigkeit unter Beweis stellen: So wurde innerhalb kürzester Zeit der Universitätsbetrieb auf ein Minimum heruntergefahren und gleichzeitig die Lehrveranstaltungen in digitale Formate überführt. Wie diese Umstellung wahrgenommen wurde, welche Vor- und Nachteile damit einhergehen, wie es um die Nachhaltigkeit gestellt ist und wie die Zukunft der universitären Lehre aussehen kann, wurde im Rahmen dieser Umfrage an der Technischen Universität Chemnitz zwischen Mitte Juli und Ende September 2020 erhoben. Die Umfrage adressierte sowohl Hochschulmitarbeiterinnen und Hochschulmitarbeiter als auch Studierende. Ungefähr 370 vollständige Rückmeldungen von Studierenden und Mitarbeitenden wurden qualitativ und mittels deskriptiver Statistik ausgewertet. Die Ergebnisse zeigen eine hohe Vielfalt hinsichtlich Verhaltens und Reaktionen auf das Pandemie-bedingte digitale Lehren und Lernen. Digitale Lehre sowie Arbeiten und Lernen von Zuhause bieten vielfältige Vorteile und zugleich Herausforderungen - wie auch das Lernen und Arbeiten am Universitätscampus. Arbeiten und Lernen von Zuhause wird einerseits als bereichernd, andererseits als überfordernd empfunden - und dies nicht nur von Person zu Person, sondern auch zeitgleich innerhalb eines Individuums. Die Flexibilität, welche mit digitaler Lehre einhergeht, wird geschätzt - simultan ist digitale Lehre zugleich mit viel Selbstorganisation und wenig sozialen Kontakten verknüpft, was in Teilen seitens der Studierenden als Überforderung wahrgenommen wird. In der Verknüpfung von Nachhaltigkeit und Digitalisierung zeigen sich eklatante Wissens- und Handlungslücken. Die Ergebnisse zeigen auch Aspekte auf, welche konstruktiv zur weiteren Ausgestaltung digitaler Lehre aufgegriffen werden können. The global COVID-19 pandemic does not only focus on health and social issues, but the topic of digitalization as well. Universities have to (re)act very fast and demonstrate their adaptability: Within shortest time, the university life was reduced to a minimum. Simultaneously, the courses were transferred into digital formats. The following questions were surveyed by this questionnaire at the Chemnitz University of Technology between mid-July and the end of September 2020: How was this transformation done, by which advantages and disadvantages were they accompanied, how sustainable are these processes and how the future of higher education can look like. The survey addressed both university staff and students. Approximately 370 complete responses were analysed qualitatively and with the help of descriptive statistics. The results show a high degree of diversity in terms of behaviours and responses to pandemic digital teaching and learning. Digital teaching and working as well as learning from home offer multiple benefits and at the same time challenges - as does learning and working at the university campus. On the one hand, working and learning from home is perceived as enriching and overwhelming on the other - and this does not only differ from person to person, but also simultaneously within an individual. The flexibility associated with digital teaching is appreciated - at the same time, digital teaching is linked with a great deal of self-organization and few social contacts, which is perceived by some students as excessive demands. There are striking gaps in knowledge and action when it comes to linking sustainability and digitization. The results also reveal aspects for the further development of digital teaching.

    Technological advancement and digitization have become more and more important in recent years. This is particularly true for credit institutions. The core banking systems used for internal processes are therefore subject to increasing digital change. In many banks, outdated IT systems are still in use, which often lack the basic functionalities that are essential for innovations. In order to achieve a sufficient functionality of the information technology in the company, core banking systems are implemented, which achieve the mapping of almost all bank-specific processes. In addition, so-called software robots are used to automate standard processes with increasing frequency. Due to the lack of standard products in previous years, there is an abundance of in-house developments. While self-developed systems dominate in the European as well as North and South American markets, earlier in-house developments in the German-speaking countries have mainly been replaced by standardized core banking systems. The introduction of standard ERP systems poses a major challenge for financial institutions. Not only does the implementation effort in terms of financial resources and working time play an important role, but also the ongoing expenses for maintenance and further development. These investments not only secure and promote the ability to innovate in the age of digitization, but also create an asset in the company. The evaluation for the accounting representation is an increasing challenge due to the steadily increasing complexity of information processing technologies. Questions arise regarding the access assessment, the follow-up assessment and the handling of previous systems. In the following, accounting according to the international accounting standards for the implementation of the ERP system SAP S/4HANA in credit institutions is shown. The procedure and the results are not limited to banks, but can be applied analogously to many industries.
