The War for the Island of Crete between the Ottoman Empire and Venice (1645–1669)
Authors:   ", Goranchev Veselin ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The current publication presents information about the so-called War of Candia between the Ottoman Empire and Venice for the island of Crete. The war began in 1645 and was won by the Ottomans in 1669. By so doing, they became the all-powerful sovereigns of the Eastern Mediterranean, while Venice gradually lost its authority as a naval power. Works of prestigious Bulgarian and foreign authors have been used in the publication. For the first time excerpts of two letters, written in Greek by an Orthodox priest to the Russian Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich, are cited. The priest signed the letters under the name Daniil and claimed to be metropolitan of Tarnovo (the post was vacant in the middle of the 17th c.), and the letters give information about the course of the war.

The educational process of physical education and sport in the initial stage of the primary education helps build the foundations for the positive attitude of the trainees towards sport, personal physical development and physical capacity, motivation, needs and interests. The purpose of this survey is to identify parents’ willingness to encourage their children to participate in organized sports activities at school and beyond, and to determine the impact of physical activity on the development of personal traits in first grade students. The contingent of the survey is 30 parents of students in the first grade of “Vasil Levski” Secondary school – Troyan. To achieve this goal, the following tasks must be completed: 1. To investigate the parental capacity to provoke physical activity in children. 2. To identify certain personality traits of first grade students after undergoing physical activity. 3. To process the received data and formulate conclusions and recommendations for practice in physical activity. For the successful outcome of the survey the following methods were applied: literature review on the subject and the survey questionnaire method. Based on the answers received from parents to pupils in first grade, it can be concluded that, positive emotional communication of children during participation in sports activities influences the interaction and the way of communication with their relatives, strengthens their self-assessment, regulates social behavior, increases the tolerance towards loved ones and strangers, lowers aggressiveness and emotional lability, and last but not least - forms the basis of a healthy lifestyle.
Mises and Hayek in “Kremikovtzi” MC
Authors:   University of National and World Economy, Sofia, Bulgaria, Penchev Pencho
Published: November 2021

The author makes an attempt to investigate functioning of the largest metallurgical plant in Bulgaria – “Kremikovtzi” MC – through the prism of Misesian and Hayekian arguments concerning the economic organization of the socialist society. The main conclusion is that the arguments with a high degree of abstraction – especially those of Mises - remain invisible at the level of a particular enterprise. The views of Hayek, however, those of the classical political economists, and of Simeon Demostenov find their confirmation in the everyday life of the metallurgical combine even before its official opening in 1963 and until the last day of the Bulgarian socialist regime in 1989. To some extend “Kremikovtzi” is representative for the economic reality in Bulgaria during the era of socialism and is indicative of the results and shortcomings of the state-implemented industrialization of the country. Bulgaria became an industrialized country, but it is not sure whether the industrialization was successful.
Emotional Branding in the Labyrinth of the Post-Truth
Authors:   ", Serezliev Stefan ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

Post-truth and emotional branding are constantly criticized, the main argument being the creation of emotional pressure in the decision-making process. This is also cited as a prerequisite for fake news, rumours, political lies etc. Can we get out of this frame and look for new intersections of post-truth and emotional branding? Perhaps this would be a way of humanizing post-truth for the benefit of society and reducing brand populism.

The article presents the results of a study conducted during the state of emergency in Bulgaria in connection with the Covid-19 pandemic (March 13 – May 13, 2020). The object of research are the comments sections of the Dnevnik, Sega and Trud websites where people discuss the topic of ‘journalism’. The maintenance of user forums on news sites is an important indicator of the chosen mode of work and the quality of journalistic activity of the media; it is an indicator of the readiness of the media organization to offer a platform for public discussions. The survey of the users’ comments highlights the attitude towards journalism and the media in Bulgaria as a whole.
Establishing the level of sports preparedness of 8–10-year old kickboxers
Authors:   ", Pavlova Pavlina ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo, Petkova Miroslava ,   "St. Cyril and Methodius" University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

Kickboxing is one of the most attractive and dynamic modern sports. It combines the most effective techniques with legs and hands from karate and classic boxing. This symbiosis between the two sports makes it an exciting spectacle attracting numerous admirers. Kickboxing is not a demonstration game designed solely for audiences and entertainment. It is a sport discipline and, as such, is subject to the general methodological foundations and norms of sports training. The application of the general principles and laws in the kickbox training process is hampered by the lack of a scientifically based, in-depth research on this sport (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov, Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79). This is a sport with a complex motoring activity that manifests itself in constantly changing and extreme conditions of training and competition. Kickboxing practitioners are subjected to great physical and mental stresses.They have to master and apply a great arsenal of complex dynamic stereotypes in the ring, in the context of an acute conflict with an opponent who actively counters them. The time deficiency in which an exchange takes place shows that, in addition to physical qualities, the kickboxer must also possess a specific sport intelligence to realize in the conditions of the training and the race. The technical arsenal that every kickboxer has to master is diverse and coordinated. It can be divided into two parts: technique of attack and defense technique (Lefterov 2006: 27, Kaikov,,Yonov 2001, Zlatev 2010: 122, Pavlova, Petkova 2017: 79).

In addition to the researches of life and deeds of the Apostle of Freedom, we learn a lot of things concerning not only his times, but also his near and dear, among whom is also the object of the present article. Although Yana Kuncheva-Nacheva did not do great deeds, she takes a well-deserved place among many other women of that heroic epoch. She, as well as her family, helped Levski and the future revolution in general, as far as they could. Furthermore, her valuable memoirs about her brother and his times, and her life after the Liberation in the new social and political situation – a double process in itself – is a source of information of Yana herself and her relatives, as well as of the period in question.
Тhe Metropolitan Archdiocese of Varna in the Historiography
Authors:   VladislavVarnenchik” Museum – Varna, Bulgaria, Mitev Nevyan , Tyutyunjiev Ivan ,   "St. Cyril and Methodius" University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The Ecclesiastical work in Varna started during the Late Antiquity when the Ancient city of Odessos became a bishopric centre and later on a metropolitan archdiocese. There is no explicit data that during the First Bulgarian state the city was a seat of a high clergyman. In the period 13th–14th century, Varna established itself as one of the most important cities in the country and a metropolitan archdiocese. The Ottoman invasion and the fact that the city was captured by the Turks didn’t influence upon the strategic significance of the city, which remained a metropolitan archdiocese during the whole Ottoman period. The eparchy of Varna and Veliki Preslav has been one of the biggest spiritual centres in the Bulgarian lands since the Liberation in 1878 up to nowadays. The institution that has been in existence for more than thousand years and its importance, requires a significant work on its history to be written. Currently, some attempts for fractional studies have been made, but still there is no common research on the history of the institution. The presented historiographical review in this research doesn’t pretend to be comprehensive. The most important researches on the development and the role of the metropolitan archdiocese of Varna during the centuries and some other researches related to the topic are presented in the research. The basic problems which have occurred throughout the years have been dealt upon.
200 years from the birth of teacher Ivan Nikolov Momchilov. The creator of a generation of educated Bulgarians and talented Bulgarian teachers
Authors:   ", Petrova Veselina ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The author dedicates the article to an important anniversary – 200 years since the birth of the teacher Ivan Nikolov Momchilov (1819–1869). He is among the most highly educated Bulgarians. He had encyclopedic knowledge as well as native-language and foreign-language gifting. He writes and speaks Bulgarian, Turkish, Greek, Latin, German, Russian. His merits to the development of Slavicism are exceptional. Historical contributions of Momchilov to the Bulgarian education are also in use in present-day professional and practical training of students in pedagogical specialties. The young reformer created the first Bulgarian class school in Elena in 1843. It replaces the mutual learning method with a class-less system. He distributes pupils by class, creates a curriculum, introduces courses, conducts weekly lessons. He also furnishes the classrooms with desks, teacher’s table, blackboard. Momchilov equips the yard of the school with facilities for physical education. Following his ideas pupils organize themselves and obey the requirements of the chief duty teacher and his assistants – students on duty. He forbids corporal punishment and implements a humane, democratic approach in the relationship between teachers and pupils. He strengthens the psychological atmosphere: every class starts and ends with a bell; there is a break between classes; after the end of the classes, students leave school in order; supervisors monitor the behaviour of each student; students show their respect to Elena’s citizens and are obliged to congratulate others. Ivan Momchilov and Nikola Mihaylovski, the first Bulgarian scholar who defended a doctorate in Moscow, founded the first Bulgarian higher education institution for teachers – Elena Daskalolivnica. Teacher Momchilov has written textbooks and teaching aids on Bulgarian language, history, geography, arithmetic and others. He has created a generation of educated Bulgarians and talented Bulgarian teachers. Ivan Momchilov’s pupils founded Bulgarian schools in many towns and villages. They set the foundations of the school network on the Bulgarian lands.
13 Current Media Business Models in the Digital Age – the Takeaways for Bulgaria
Authors:   ", Indjov Ivo ,   St. Cyril and Methodius",   University of Veliko Tarnovo
Published: November 2021

The study seeks an answer to the current problem of the deepening global crisis of classic media business models in the digital age and the need to seek sustainable new forms of financing. This state of the journalistic media, resp. of quality journalism is the result of competition from the Internet and major online platforms, but also from acute financial crises, the most recent one caused by Covid-19. They hit the two market foundations of the media company the hardest – advertising and sales. Financially afflicted media repel citizens and are a direct threat to democracy. Weakened, they fall under external dependence, and cannot control the politicians and those in power; neither can they oppose the viral spread of misinformation and fake news on social media. The main research question is “Is it possible – and in what way – to save the media financially in the digital age?” 13 current media-financing models with an emphasis on digital media have been studied - beyond advertising, classified ads etc., which until recently ensured the well-being of the press and television. Two different media business models were also considered: taz – a successful German left-wing alternative newspaper based on cooperative ownership and a solidary model of attracting readers, and “Capital” – a Bulgarian business-oriented medium that successfully applies new forms of financing. Both editions focus on digital transition. The elements of comparison show that for several reasons the “taz model”, which provides a much more direct and emotional connection with the readership, is not applicable to Bulgaria in the medium term. The main conclusion of the study is that in order to survive in the digital age, journalistic media must have a flexible pluralistic funding model. Depending on the nature of the media, its target groups and the specifics of society, it may contain only part or a wider range of the following main sources of funding: market; state / public funding; structures of civil society and citizens.
The Menakibnames in Balkan Researches: The Case of Seyit Ali Sultan and his Menakib
Authors:   Necmettin Erbakan University, Konya, Turkey, Taşğın Ahmet , Şimşek Ahmet , Atay Öner
Published: November 2021

This study deals with the publication of Seyit Ali Sultan Menakib, which describes the transition of Turks to Rumelia and Balkans. In addition to the effort dedicated for the publication of this study, the lack of attention for the protection of the Seyit Ali Sultan Menakib’s manuscripts is another point to be concentrated. Naturally, this study points not only to the importance of Seyit Ali Sultan and Menakib in the area of Balkan researches, but also to the problem of lack of serious work during the previous publication attempts of the Menakıb. There are many copies of the manuscript of Seyit Ali Sultan Menakıb, telling about the journey of forty “saints” from Gallipoli to Rumelia and Balkans. Among these, the copy which indicates that Seyit Ali Sultan was contemporary with Orhan Gazi was found in the Kaygusuz Sultan Dergâh in Egyptian Cairo. This copy was given by Ahmet Sirri Baba to Salih Niyazi Dedebaba in Tirana, Albania. A long time no trace of this manuscript was found, and many researchers working on this issue struggled to reach this manuscript. As a result, Seyit Ali Sultan and his Menakib should be considered as a main source and thus studied in the Balkan researches, considering the internal meaning of the text, the historical personality of the people whom the text deals with and the tracing the followers of these people until today. In this study, the importance of Seyit Ali Sultan and his Menakib will be emphasized and also some problems arising from one of the previous publication of the manuscript will be pointed out.

The nonobjective journalistic interpretation of economic facts can lead to both minor and serious consequences, ranging from the individual recipient to a whole business sector. Therefore, the fundamental principle of providing reliable information to society is of particular importance for the economic field. The paper addresses the issue of unintentional distribution of fake news in the context of economic journalism and new media. The combination of political, social, economic and technological factors has contributed to the growth and scale of the problem, with the most important one being the impact of the internet environment, which has turned fake news into an unwanted function or rather a dysfunction of digital media.

Education – a fundamental method for social progress and its reformation. The social problems that the Albanian society is facing recently are diverse. Problems such as the fragile economy, the lack of implementation of legality, the development of a weak institutional structure and above all a transitional society are exerting their direct influence on the development of our society. In addition to these, as ever, Albanian society is facing a very frightening phenomenon, extreme aggression in the family, school institutions, actions that in some cases have had fatal conclusions, such as injury and killing. Unfortunately, nowadays, in our society, the fatalities caused by human life from violence and crime are so widespread that they are exceeding the fatalities that come from the most general and most problematic diseases that humanity today has. Indeed, every day we are facing more chaotic educational perceptions, even with voluntary and antieducational concepts, often deformed to the limits of anarchy and social anomie. Such devious behaviors such as crime, murder, theft, violence, public social tension are indicative of the fact that many people’s anarchist perceptions of freedom and social groups in our society have created an ambiguous situation to determine what are the values that need our civilization. Many young high school students, university students, but not only, have really come out of the allowed limits of personal freedom and are becoming a real social concern. Because the whole society is in the attack on money, welfare, survival, luxury, consumption, sex,etc., people’s education is neglected.

Current study research the use of language towards aggressive behavior and anxiety of at-risk children deprived of parental care. At-risk youth raise outside their family and in residential care home centers are most vulnerable children with a high level of anxiety, aggression, and emotional disorders. Children without parents living in Bulgarian residential centers homes (N=40) divided into 3 age groups (aged 7–10; aged 11–14; and aged 15–17) comprised intervention performed by volunteers using 4 interaction strategies: normal voice and positive language (N+); high tone and positive language (H+); normal tone and negative language (N-) and high tone and negative language (H-). Intervention participants have been subjected to surveillance by independent observer in a pre-standardized checklist using the Buss-Durky classification of aggression and Prihojan classification of anxiety within structured scientific observation measuring 15 indicators of aggression, anxiety as a personal trait and interpersonal anxiety. Results of current study demonstrate contradictory tendencies and partially confirm the underlying hypothesis that lexical signs with negative semantic meaning and high tone with negative language would have strongest impact on increasing the aggression and anxiety of children only for children that are more aggressive in general. Analysis experienced that aggressive behavior, interpersonal anxiety and anxiety as a personal trait would increase with the use of negative language without raising the tone. The results in current research can help specialists to find suitable strategy and proper use of language for better results on socialization and adaptation of the child with behavior and emotional problems.

Published: November 2021

This article presents the contribution of the ‘Epistolary handbook’ of Sava Dobroplodni in the process of building the modern Bulgarian commercial and legal culture. The handbook is published in 1853. It continues the tendency of the offered models of commercial letters to be as clear as possible for the reader, to be creative in accordance with the needs and peculiarities of the local market. Although this tendency does not start with the ‘Epistolary handbook’ of Sava Dobroplodni, it will become a ‘rule’ for future editions – a ‘rule’ that will continue even then, when will be translating and publishing in Bulgarian language foreign copyright works in the field of the commercial and legal matter.

Published: November 2021

Introduction: Radical cystectomy (RC) is the historic gold standard treatment for muscle-invasive bladder cancer (MIBC), but trimodal therapy (TMT) has emerged as a valid therapeutic option for selected patients. Given that prospective clinical trials have been difficult to perform in this area, our aim was to compare these two primary treatment strategies using decision analytic methods.
Method: A two-dimensional Markov microsimulation model was constructed using TreeAge Pro to compare RC and TMT for patients with newly diagnosed MIBC. A comprehensive literature search was used to populate model probabilities and utilities. Our primary outcome was quality-adjusted life expectancy (QALE). Secondary outcomes included crude life expectancy (LE) and bladder cancer recurrences. The simulated patient for our model was an adult with MIBC (pT2-4 N0 M0) who was a candidate for either RC or TMT.
Results: A total of 500 000 patients were simulated. TMT resulted in an estimated mean QALE of 7.48 vs. 7.41 for RC. However, the average LE for patients treated with TMT was lower compared with RC (10.20 vs. 10.74 years). A sensitivity analysis evaluating the impact of age showed that younger patients treated with RC had greater QALE and longer LE than those treated with TMT; inverse findings were observed for elderly patients. Overall, 39.4% of patients treated with TMT experienced a bladder recurrence.
Conclusions: RC results in a longer LE compared to TMT (0.54 years), but with a lower QALE (-0.07 years). The preferred treatment strategy varied with patient age.

Weberian vision of ideal type as a concept—ideal limit to illustrate the significant elements of its own empirical content, tends to identify an overcoming from the role of consumer as target to the analysis of the techniques of profiling the humanization of the customer with his needs, fears and aspirations.

The research project consists of three parts. In the first a deepening on the wide literature of international scope, above all “made in USA” regarding the market orientation—Industry 4.0—platform: the origin, the internal organization, the management, the communication strategies.

In the second part focuses instead on brand analysis, to reconstruct the main social and economic projects while assessing the internal analytical coherence, ideological value and deducing the most significant operational indications.

The third, on the other hand, explores corporate social responsibility through small and medium-sized enterprises with market orientation, a socially responsible management-driven approach, strategic enterprise orientation and business management, resulting from different synergistic combinations.
Comment mettre la génomique forestière et la génomique de la conservation au service des communautés autochtones?
Authors: Touchette Lyne , Beaudoin Jean-Michel , Isabel Nathalie , Gélinas Nancy , Porth Ilga
Published: November 2021

Les projets d’aménagement durable et de conservation (ADC) des ressources naturelles en collaboration avec les peuples autochtones ayant recours à une approche en génomique sont en émergence. Les informations et applications issues de la génomique peuvent leur être utiles particulièrement dans un contexte de changements climatiques. Toutefois, le défi de transposer ces applications dans la pratique et de les mettre au service des communautés demeure. Nous présentons ici une revue de littérature exploratoire qui aborde (1) les utilités démontrées de la génomique dans les projets d’ADC impliquant les peuples autochtones, (2) certains enjeux qui peuvent limiter l’adoption des applications de la génomique et (3) le travail collaboratif entre chercheurs et communautés autochtones dans les études analysées. Les utilités démontrées identifiées ont été essentiellement de nature socioécologique. La nature complémentaire des savoirs autochtones et des savoirs scientifiques en génomique a été reconnue comme une opportunité qui devrait être développée davantage pour relever les défis actuels, tels que les changements climatiques. En ce qui concerne l’adoption de cette technologie en ADC dans la pratique, en plus de faire face à des enjeux similaires à d’autres utilisateurs finaux, l’intégration des besoins, des valeurs traditionnelles et des connaissances des communautés autochtones dans les projets de génomique représente également un défi dans un contexte de décolonisation de la recherche en génomique. Finalement, la collaboration communauté-chercheur a été identifiée comme un élément clé pour favoriser la réussite de la transposition de la génomique en ADC.

Published: November 2021

Tekst prezentuje wyniki wyprzedzających badań archeologiczno--architektonicznych przeprowadzonych w 2015 roku przez zespół pod kierunkiem dr. inż. arch. Piotra Kmiecika i dr. Roberta Szweda. Obszar opracowania znajdował się w najstarszej XIII-wiecznej części Wrocławia oraz obejmo-wał budynek w znacznym stopniu zniszczony podczas działań wojennych w 1945 roku. Pozostałości kamienicy zostały rozebrane najprawdopodobniej w pierwszych latach po wojnie. Późniejsze przesunięcie linii zabudowy północnej pierzei ul. Oławskiej spowodowało brak możliwości przebadania obszaru między pierwotną a aktualną linią zabudowy w ramach prowadzonych prac, ukazując jednocześnie proces przekształceń urbanistycznych, jakim podlegał ten obszar w historii.

Published: November 2021

W artykule opisano genezę oraz przebieg konkursu studenckiego zorganizowanego przez Katedrę Architektury i Urbanistyki dla studentów kierunku architektura. Temat konkursu dotyczył przekształcenia funkcjonalnego oraz estetycznego przestrzeni publicznej dedykowanej studentom i pracownikom uczelni. Wykorzystanie procedury konkursowej w edukacji architektonicznej nie jest pomysłem nowym, jednak ten opisany wyróżnia się realizacją. Projekt, realizowany niezależnie od przedmiotów semestralnych, dotyczył istotnego zagadnienia projektowania przestrzeni publicznej. Konkurs był przyczynkiem do dyskusji na temat potrzeb funkcjonalnych terenu II Kampusu. Uczestnicy konkursu byli jednocześnie potencjalnymi użytkownikami placu, mogli mieć realny wpływ na jego charakter po przebudowie. Udział w konkursie wzbogacił doświadczenie projektowe uczestników, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o umiejętność pracy w zespole, delegowanie zadań i zarządzanie czasem pracy. Umożliwił im konfrontację z rzeczywistymi problemami przestrzennymi. Stosowanie niestandardowych metod dydaktycznych spotyka się z pozytywnym odzewem ze strony studentów. Warsztatowa forma prowadzenia zajęć oraz skumulowanie ich w kilka dni intensywnej pracy sprzyja twórczej atmosferze, „burzy mózgów”, która daje początek interesującym koncepcjom. Dialog, jaki nawiązuje się w trakcie warsztatów i wspólnej pracy, jest cenny dla obu stron, bardzo często stanowi dla studentów zachętę do własnych badań, poszukiwań oraz rozwoju.

W artykule przeprowadzono porównanie przedstawień przestrzeni dokonanych przez Christophera Alexandra, Rudolfa Arnheima i Yoshinobu Ashiharę. Ich cechą wspólną jest zastosowanie pojęć positive space (przestrzeń pozytywowa) oraz negative space (przestrzeń negatywowa), sformułowanych w oparciu o zjawiska zaczerpnięte z psychologii postaci. Analiza literaturowa nie wskazuje na wykształcenie jednoznacznych definicji tych terminów. Przestrzeń pozytywową i negatywową określa się w odniesieniu do właściwości geometrycznych układu urbanistycznego, jego funkcjonalności, jak również charakterystyki jej postrzegania przez obserwatora, a nawet czynnika intencji twórczej projektanta.
Paramedics’ knowledge of medical guidelines and procedures for protection against coronavirus
during the COVID-19 pandemic: a pilot study
Authors: Dorowski Szymon , Szwamel Katarzyna
Published: November 2021

Background: Paramedics are the frontline workers of the healthcare profession. Thus, they need to be
equipped with the relevant knowledge, skills, and protective gear against different forms of infection, including coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Aim of the study: To determine the level of paramedics’ knowledge about implementing medical guidelines
and procedures to avoid coronavirus infection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Material and methods: This study involved 101 paramedics employed in Emergency Medical Services in
Legnica between November 2020 and January 2021. A diagnostic survey method and opinion polling technique were applied. A survey developed by the study authors was used.
Results: Overall, 38 (37.62%) paramedics had sufficient knowledge of medical guidelines and procedures
preventing coronavirus infection, 28 (27.72%) had good knowledge, 23 (22.77%) had very good knowledge,
and 12 (11.88%) had insufficient knowledge of the topic. Variables such as education (p=0.305), participation in any course on COVID-19 (p=0.650), frequency of emergency services for patients suspected to have
COVID-19 infection or with confirmed COVID-19 infection (p=0.116), and job seniority (p=0.984) did not
have a significant influence on interviewees’ knowledge of this topic.
Conclusions: There is a need for organizing courses, workshops, or training events for paramedics concerning the code of conduct and good practice while working with patients who suffer from highly infectious
diseases in order to improve safety in the work environment. It is particularly important as paramedics themselves opted to organize such courses. It is recommended that before organizing the course, one should obtain information from potential participants about the preferred format of the course.

Authors: Bührer Ute Catrin
Published: November 2021

Obwohl die soziale Benachteiligung im Alter als Querschnittthema nahezu alle Arbeitsfelder von Sozialarbeitenden tangiert, wurde die Kategorie „Alter“ in der Sozialen Arbeit lange Zeit nur unzureichend in den Blick genommen. Vielerorts wird das Thema erst jetzt, im Zuge der demographischen Veränderungen, wahrgenommen. In nachstehendem Beitrag werden die zentralen gerontologischen Theorien in ihren jeweiligen Entstehungszusammenhängen erörtert und in Abgrenzung voneinander in ihrer Relevanz für die Arbeitsfelder der Sozialen Arbeit dargestellt.
Die Anerkennung der Klageberechtigung von Drittstaaten gegen Rechtsakte der Union gemäß Art. 263 Abs. 4 AEUV – Anmerkung zum Urteil des EuGH (GK) v. 22.6.2021, Rs. C-872/19 P (Venezuela/Rat)
Authors: Gundel Jörg
Published: November 2021

Die Klage eines Drittstaats gegen einen Rechtsakt der Union ist unabhängig vom Bestehen völkervertraglicher Vereinbarungen oder von der Wahrung der Gegenseitigkeit als Nichtigkeitsklage einer juristischen Person gemäß Art. 263 Abs. 4 AEUV zulässig, wenn die dort normierten Voraussetzungen erfüllt sind (Leitsatz des Verf.).

Die Frage der Zulässigkeit von Nichtigkeitsklagen, die von Drittstaaten gegen Rechtsakte der Union erhoben werden, stellt sich seit längerem; sie war aber von der Rechtsprechung bisher nicht explizit entschieden worden. Das Urteil der Großen Kammer in der Rs. Venezuela/Rat schließt diese Lücke nun und kommt nach ausführlicher Diskussion der Einwände gegen eine solche Öffnung zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Zulässigkeit solcher Klagen zu bejahen ist, wenn die Bedingungen des Art. 263 Abs. 4 AEUV erfüllt sind.
Mediatisierte Lebensführung und ihr Wandel durch Alltagsumbrüche
Authors: Niemand Stephan
Published: November 2021

In dem Artikel wird das Konzept der mediatisierten Lebensführung entfaltet, das sich speziell dazu eignet, um den Wandel des Medienhandelns im Zuge von Alltagsumbrüchen wie Trennungen, Elternschaft oder Wohnungswechsel zu analysieren. Eine zentrale Besonderheit des Konzepts ist, dass es den Alltag in die Strukturdimensionen zeitlich, räumlich, inhaltlich, sozial, sinnbezogen, materiell, emotional und körperlich aufspannt. So können Veränderungen in der Alltagsstruktur zielgenau und systematisch mit einem Wandel des Medienhandels in Beziehung gesetzt werden. Die empirische Reichweite des Konzepts wird anhand der Befunde einer qualitativen Panelstudie veranschaulicht. Es wird gezeigt, inwiefern alltagsspezifische Antriebfaktoren, wie veränderte Zeitressourcen (zeitlich), neue Tätigkeitsfelder (inhaltlich), Veränderungen in der Arbeitsteilung (sozial) oder emotionale Krisen (emotional), Dynamik im Medienrepertoire anstoßen und welche Faktoren für die Rezipierenden relevant sind, wenn sie ihre mediatisierte Lebensführung innerhalb der neuen Lebenssituation neu aushandeln.
Vom Bildschirm auf die Straße? Eine empirische Untersuchung der Identifikation, Online-Partizipation und des Klimaproblembewusstseins von Fridays-for-Future- Beteiligten

Fridays for Future zieht seit dem Beginn im Jahr 2018 viele junge Menschen auf die Straße, die für mehr Klimaschutz protestieren. Die weltweite Bewegung organisiert sich vor allem über soziale Medien; sie ermöglichen die Verbindung zu den Anhänger*innen der Demonstrationen und bieten herabgesenkte Beteiligungshürden. Doch wen genau erreichen die sozialen Medien innerhalb der Bewegung - und wer partizipiert und wie? Zur Beantwortung dieser Frage wurde eine quantitative Online-Befragung von Fridays-for-Future-Beteiligten durchgeführt (n = 219). Basierend auf einer hierarchischen Clusteranalyse werden anhand der individuellen Identifikation mit der Bewegung, der Online-Beteiligung und des Klimawandelproblembewusstseins vier Gruppen charakterisiert: die verbundenen Besorgten, die besorgten Aktivist*innen, die gehemmten Besorgten und die vereinzelten Unbesorgten. Die vergleichsweise junge Stichprobe sowie die Gruppe der vereinzelten Unbesorgten könnte ein Hinweis darauf sein, dass soziale Medien als niedrigschwelliger Einstieg in die soziale Bewegung genutzt werden.
In welcher Form engagieren sich Menschen?
Authors: Kausmann Corinna , Kelle Nadiya , Simonson Julia
Published: November 2021

Über die Zeit hinweg zeichnet sich ein Wandel des Engagements und seiner Struktu- ren ab. Um die Engagementstrukturen in Deutschland darzustellen, wird in diesem Bei- trag mithilfe einer Clusteranalyse auf Basis des Deutschen Freiwilligensurveys 2019 eine Typenbildung freiwilligen Engagements vorgenommen. Dadurch können drei Typen frei- willigen Engagements identifiziert werden: klassisches Hands-On-Engagement, admi- nistratives Engagement sowie neuere Formen des Engagements. Des Weiteren wird anhand einer multinomialen logistischen Regression ermittelt, ob sich unterschiedliche Bevölkerungsgruppen in diesen Typen engagieren. Dabei zeigen sich zum Teil deutliche Unterschiede für die Beteiligung in den verschiedenen Typen nach Geschlecht, Bildung, Haushaltskonstellation sowie Einkommen. Zudem scheinen die neueren Formen des Engagements im Vergleich mit den beiden anderen Engagementtypen das größere Poten- zial zu haben, Personen für eine freiwillige Tätigkeit zu mobilisieren.
Das Fließende des Körpers
Authors: Benkel Thorsten
Published: November 2021

Lebendige Körper sind ständig aktiv. Sie gehen und drehen sich, sie wiegen in die eine oder andere Richtung, sie falten sich zusammen und richten sich auf, sie reagieren, sie bewirken etwas, sie passen sich der Umwelt an. Körper bewegen sich fließend durch die gesellschaftlichen Bedingungen, denen sie entstammen und die sie sukzessive mitgestalten. Auch in ihnen fließt es, doch die blickdichten Vorgänge der menschlichen Physiologie stellen in sozialer Hinsicht allenfalls ein Hintergrundrauschen dar. Dies ändert sich, wenn etwas aus dem Körper herausfließt und sich der Welt als Abjekt präsentiert – als etwas eben noch Dazugehörendes, dem Körper nun Fremdes, ja geradezu feindlich Gegenüberliegendes. Ob nun aktiv herausgepresst, passiv entlassen oder subversiv herausschleichend: Körperflüssigkeiten sind Herausforderungen. Sie motivieren zu Umgangsweisen, die je veränderten Bedeutungsmechanismen entsprechen, aber sie schränken auch ein; sie prägen und sie definieren, wie allzu menschlich ein Körper agieren darf. Den diskursiven Strängen, die sich um die Säfte ranken, die am Körper, aus dem Körper und in den Körpern fließen, widmet sich Thorsten Benkels kultursoziologische und sozialpsychologisch informierte Studie. Er legt eine generelle Analyse des gesellschaftlichen Ranges von Körperflüssigkeiten vor, die die vielfältigen Bezugspunkte des Gegenstands – unter anderem Medizin, Geschlecht, Sexualität sowie Tabuisierung, Transgression und Erziehung – aufschlüsselt und das Feste und das Flüssige – neben dem Harten und dem Weichen sowie dem Rohen und Gekochten – als zentrales Dual der Moderne verankert. Darüber hinaus geht das Buch der Abwehr und den Instrumentalisierungen, aber auch den Annäherungen nach, die die Ubiquität gerade des Fließens aus dem Körper provoziert. Es macht diese Strategien als verhandelbare Sinnkonstruktionen begreifbar und entdeckt die Lust an der Unlust, die sich in ihnen versteckt.
Aktienrechtliche Organhaftung und D&O-Versicherung
Authors: Splinter Christopher
Published: November 2021

Die Arbeit behandelt die Schnittstelle von D&O-Versicherung und aktienrechtlicher Organhaftung. Ausgangspunkt ist die ökonomische Analyse der Organhaftung unter dem Blickwinkel der Versicherbarkeit der Ansprüche gegen Organmitglieder. Diese wird für eine Bewertung sowohl der Organhaftung unter dem geltenden Recht als auch von Argumentationsansätzen im Hinblick auf eine Haftungsreduktion de lege lata fruchtbar gemacht.

Der Schwerpunkt der Arbeit liegt auf Fragen im Zusammenhang mit der Verfolgung von versicherten Organhaftungsansprüchen. Dazu gehören insbesondere die Schwierigkeiten, die sich aus der typischen Strukturierung der D&O-Versicherung als Gruppenversicherung sowie der gängigen Stellung des Versicherungsschutzes durch Versicherermehrheiten ergeben. Ferner werden die Sonderkonstellationen des Direktprozesses und der Entscheidung über Haftungs- und Deckungsanspruch im Schiedsverfahren erörtert. Zur Fundierung dieses praxisbezogenen Teils der Untersuchung hat der Verfasser eine Befragung von einschlägig tätigen Anwälten und Versicherungsunternehmen durchgeführt.

Die Arbeit schließt mit Reform- und Gestaltungsüberlegungen zum materiellen Haftungsrecht und zur D&O-Versicherung.
Schuldrecht Besonderer Teil
Authors: Tonner Klaus , Brömmelmeyer Christoph
Published: November 2021

Jetzt mit neuem Recht: Die Neuauflage wurde grundlegend überarbeitet und in Teilen neu gefasst; ihr liegen bereits die neuen Gesetze zur Umsetzung der Richtlinie über den Warenkauf und der Richtlinie über digitale Inhalte und Dienstleistungen zugrunde.
Das Lehrbuch enthält eine vollständige Darstellung der im Schuldrecht des BGB geregelten Vertragstypen. Dabei werden auf der einen Seite die Bezüge zum Allgemeinen Teil des BGB und zum allgemeinen Schuldrecht hergestellt. Auf der anderen Seite zieht sich die Europäisierung des Vertragsrechts wie ein roter Faden durch das Buch, weil das Vertragsrecht des BGB ohne die zahlreichen Richtlinien des Unionsrechts nicht mehr zu verstehen ist.
Im Mittelpunkt steht das Kaufrecht, bei dem die Verschränkung mit dem Allgemeinen Teil des Schuldrechts besonders wichtig ist. Auch das Mietrecht und das Dienst- und Werkvertragsrecht werden ausführlich behandelt.
Zahlreiche Beispiele und Kontrollfragen erleichtern das Lernen. Jedem Paragrafen des Buches ist ein Fall vorangestellt, zu dem sich am Ende eine Lösungsskizze findet. Der Inhalt des Buches kann dadurch wiederholend selbständig durchgearbeitet werden.
Splenic Injury Following Colonoscopy: A Case Report
Authors: Wang Jason , Choi Heesun , Ashurst John
Published: November 2021

Introduction: Colonoscopy is a commonly performed outpatient procedure with a low risk of complications. The most common complications seen in the postoperative period include hemorrhage and perforation. Infrequently, splenic injury can occur.
Case Report: A 72-year-old male presented with a one-day history of left upper quadrant pain following colonoscopy. During the procedure he had two polyps removed along the transverse colon near the splenic flexure. There were no complications during the procedure or in the immediate post-operative period. On presentation to the emergency department, abdominal tenderness was present in the left upper quadrant without rebound, rigidity, or guarding. Point-of-care ultrasound of the abdomen demonstrated mixed hypoechoic densities confined to the splenic capsule, and computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis with intravenous contrast noted a grade II/III splenic laceration without active extravasation. The patient was admitted for serial abdominal examination and labs.
Conclusion: Splenic injury following colonoscopy is a rare complication of colonoscopy. Emergency providers should be aware of this possible complication, and acute management should include basic trauma care and consultation for possible intervention, if warranted.
