Zusammenfassung Der europäische Finanzsektor befindet sich in einer tiefgreifenden Transformation, die durch Digitalisierung, steigenden Wettbewerbsdruck und wachsende regulatorische Anforderungen getrieben wird. Angesichts dieser Komplexität entwickelt sich organisationale Resilienz, die Fähigkeit, schnell, stabil und sicher auf unerwartete Ereignisse zu reagieren, zu einem strategischen Erfolgsfaktor. Traditionelle, langwierige Prozesse in Banken werden dabei durch veraltete Strukturen und funktionale Silos ausgebremst. Die vorliegende qualitative Fallstudie untersucht, wie Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery (CI/CD) und Development, Security und Operations (DevSecOps) zur agil-digitalen Transformation und zur Stärkung der organisationalen Resilienz in einer europäischen Bank beitragen. Die Analyse zeigt, dass die Einführung dieser Praktiken Silostrukturen auflöst, indem cross-funktionale Teams gebildet werden. Der „Shift-Left“-Ansatz integriert Sicherheits- und Compliance-Prüfungen frühzeitig in den Entwicklungsprozess, was Risiken proaktiv minimiert und die regulatorische Konformität effizienter erfüllt. Die Studie leistet damit einen Beitrag, sowohl für Wissenschaft als auch für Praxis. Sie zeigt empirisch, wie technologische, organisatorische und kulturelle Mechanismen zusammenwirken, um Transformation und Resilienz zu stärken, und identifiziert zentrale Erfolgsfaktoren wie cross-funktionale Zusammenarbeit, frühzeitige Integration von Sicherheitsprüfungen und lernförderliche Kultur. Für Unternehmen lassen sich daraus konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen ableiten, etwa zur Gestaltung von Teams, Prozessen und Führung, um agil-digitale Transformationen und organisationale Resilienz effektiv zu fördern.

F-type Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) synthase is a membrane-bound macromolecular complex, which is responsible for the synthesis of ATP, the universal energy source in living cells. This enzyme uses the proton- or sodium-motive force to power ATP synthesis by a unique rotary mechanism and can also operate in reverse, ATP hydrolysis, to generate ion gradients across membranes. The F1Fo-ATP synthases from bacteria consist of eight different structural subunits, forming a complex of ~550kDa in size. In the bacterium Ilyobacter tartaricus, the ATP synthase has the stoichiometry α3β3γδεab2c11. This chapter describes a wet-lab working protocol for the purification of several tens of milligrams of pure, heterologously (E. coli-) produced I. tartaricus Na+-driven F1Fo-ATP synthase and its subsequent efficient reconstitution into proteoliposomes. The methods are useful for a broad range of subsequent biochemical and biotechnological applications.

Parties play an important role in the study of direct democracy, but mainly as independent variables. To start investigating the way in which parties position themselves in referendums, a new framework is presented and tested for plausibility. As case study the complex but well observed case of Swiss Direct Democracy was chosen. First, a differentiated understanding of what a party position in a referendum process is leads to the identification of four different stages of positioning for Swiss parties. The main message of the theoretical framework is that positioning logics of different parties in one vote can be similar when there are underlying mechanisms applying to all parties. Four ideal type models of party positioning show how. To explore their plausibility, an original data set of 162 single positions of five Swiss political parties in 37 national referendums between 2015 and 2019 is compiled. Using qualitative methods, first results show that Swiss parties’ positioning in referendums is not as strongly dominated by policy as one could expect,given the strong polarization of the party system. In consequence, this demands for an update of our understanding of the interplay of direct democracy and political parties as a two-way channel.

Abstract Can monetary policy stimulate consumption through inflation expectations? We study how US consumers revise inflation expectations and readiness to spend in response to monetary policy shocks using a structural vector-autoregressive model, where we identify exogenous policy shocks with interest rate surprises around FOMC announcements. Based on survey data, we construct measures of changes in consumers’ readiness to spend conditional on how consumers update their inflation expectations. Expansionary policy shocks tend to increase readiness to spend conditional on higher expected inflation outside the zero lower bound (ZLB), but the effect is small. At the ZLB, consumers increasingly reduce their readiness to spend if they expect higher inflation. Overall, we find only limited evidence suggesting that policy-induced variations in inflation expectations are associated with adjustments that are in line with the predictions of standard macroeconomic models.
