Motivation und Anerkennung im freiwilligen Engagement: Kampagnen und ihre Umsetzung in Internet und Social Media

Quickly ein Viertel aller EuropäerInnen über 15 Jahren übt ein freiwilliges Engagement aus. In Deutschland ist es sogar mehr als ein Drittel. Das Thema ist in den letzten Jahren verstärkt in der Öffentlichkeit präsent: sei es in Print-, Radio- und TV-Beiträgen oder anlässlich von Preisverleihungen an Ehrenamtliche.

Internet Co-Regulation: European Law, Regulatory Governance and Legitimacy in Cyberspace

Chris Marsden argues that co-regulation is the defining characteristic of the web in Europe. Co-regulation bargains the country a direction again into questions of legitimacy, governance and human rights, thereby establishing up extra attention-grabbing conversations than a static no-regulation as opposed to country legislation binary selection.

36 P. Lu Therefore the expected approximation ratio R of the mechanism on these instances is t(ka + t − 1) (k + 1 − t)(ka2 + (k − t)a) a+1 + = (t2 −(ak+1)t+a(k 2+k)). ak(k + 1) ak(k + 1) ak(k + 1) For any fixed k and a > 1, this value R is a quadratic polynomial of t. So we have a+1 (ak + 1)2 R≥ (a(k 2 + k) − ). ak(k + 1) 4 For a sufficiently large k, the ratio in the RHS approachs the ratio of the k 2 terms which is a + 1 − a(a+1) . 5625. 5625. We remark that this lower bound only occurs for a sufficiently large number of tasks.

There are k + 1 instances, each containing k + 1 tasks. e. a proba1 bility of k+1 . The i-th (1 ≤ i ≤ k + 1) instance is as following: the running times of the i-th task are ka and ka2 for the first and second machines respectively; and the running times of the other k tasks are 1 and a for the first and second machines respectively. For the i-th instance, the optimal solution is to allocate the i-th task to the first machine and the remaining k tasks to the second machine; the optimal makespan is ka for every instance.

Formally, this alters the individual latency functions i . The specific definitions will be given in the sections below. For our altered games we are interested in stable states, which are pure strategy Nash equilibria of the games. , P is a pure Nash equilibrium if for every player i and every state Q that is obtained from P by replacing i’s path by some other path, it holds i (P ) ≤ i (Q), where i denotes the (altered) latency function of player i. We will not consider mixed Nash equilibria in this paper, and the term Nash equilibrium will refer to the pure version throughout.
