Our current research spotlight falls on Professor Gudrun Hochmayr, who has recently organized an international research conference on the harmonization of the statutes of limitation of criminal offenses at the Viadrina with great success.
In our interview, Mr. Koch explains central aspects of the research conference and discusses ideas on how to support researchers as well as doctoral and postdoctoral candidates. We are grateful for the contribution.
Dear Professor Hochmayr,
You recently organized an international conference on the harmonization of the statutes of limitation of criminal offenses at the Viadrina. Could you briefly summarize the subject of the conference?
The conference was part of a three-year research project funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). In this project we examine the statutes of limitation of 14 countries, with the aim of suggesting a proposal for their harmonization. The reason for the project in general and this conference in particular are the significant differences existing in the European Union regarding the limitation periods for criminal offenses. By means of a case-by-case comparison of the different criminal law jurisdictions, [...]

Silva H. Ladewig: Integrating Gestures. The Dimension of Multimodality in Cognitive Grammar, Berlin / Boston: De Gruyter Mouton, 2020.
Gestures are now viewed as an integral part of spoken language. But little attention has been paid to the recipients’ cognitive processes of integrating both gesture and speech. How do people understand a speaker’s gestures when inserted into gaps in the flow of speech? What cognitive-semiotic mechanisms allow this integration to occur? And what linguistic [...]
Richard Murphy, Felix Weinhardt: Top of the Class: The Importance of Ordinal Rank, in:
The Review of Economic Studies, Vol. 87(6), 2020, S. 2777–2826
This article establishes a new fact about educational production: ordinal academic rank during primary school has lasting impacts on secondary school achievement that are independent of underlying ability. Using data on the universe of English school students, we exploit naturally occurring differences in achievement distributions across primary school classes [...]

Although creativity is often considered a key success factor in advertising, the marketing literature lacks a systematic empirical account of when and how advertising creativity works. The authors use a meta-analysis to synthesize the literature on advertising creativity and test different theoretical explanations for its effects. The analysis covers [...]

The German health care Innovation Fund – An incentive for innovations to promote the integration of health care, in: Journal of Health Organisation and Management, Vol. 34(8), 2020, S. 915-923.
A key challenge for delivering health care services is to harmonize and integrate treatments of the same patient by different health care organizations (for example, hospitals and doctors’ offices). Such an integration is seen as key response to the rising costs and lacking quality of health care that many health care systems face. ‘Integrated Care’ is generally seen as an approach [...]
