Perspectives of Turkish foreign policy based on analysis of Romanian documents
Authors:   University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Cojocaru Ionuț
Published: September 2024

After 29 October 1923, when the status of the nation as a republic was declared and its official name was proclaimed to be Türkiye Cumhuriyeti (“the Republic of Turkey”), the officials followed a defensive policy and the Turkish status became part of defensive alliances. In this sense, treaties with the USSR were signed, Turkey was part of the Balkan Agreement and had agreements with Great Britain, France, etc. An increased attention was paid to the Balkan space where the legacy of the Ottoman Empire was visible. Ankara’s diplomats appealed to the Turkish-Tatar communities that lived in the geographical area of Balkans to move to the new Turkish state. The Treaty of Lausanne and then the Treaty of Montreux were vital – in the first – for the security of the new Turkish state, but also for the states bordering the Black Sea. From political point of view, the main priority of the foreign turkish policy was to pursue an alliances policy, seeking to maintain and consacrate by treaties its territorial integrity stability in its own influence areas.

Authors:   Fevzi Yakubov Crimean Engineering and Pedagogical University, Kerimov Ismail A. ,   Marjani Institute of History of the Tatarstan Academy of Sciences
Published: September 2024

After the death of I. Gasprinsky in 1914, the newspaper “Terdzhiman” was headed by the famous Crimean Tatar writer and publicist A.S. Aivazov. Under his leadership, a broad discussion was launched in the newspaper related to reforms in the field of national education in the primary grades of Crimea. The article makes an attempt to study the processes of reforms in education in the native language, showing a number of textbooks and teaching aids recommended by the general meeting of muallims (teachers) for use in the educational process in primary schools. Attention is drawn to the fact that it was these discussions that later acquired a national scale and led to the creation of the Mengli Giray Institute in Bakhchisaray in 1917, the first graduates of which, having received diplomas in 1920, joined the national teaching staff of Crimea.

Published: September 2024

The process of formation of the Crimean Tatar musical culture, as a whole, can be divided into periods of post-Byzantine – Kypchak – Golden Horde, Tatar – Seljuk – Islamic, Ottoman – Nogai ethno-musical influence on the development of this process, as well as on the period of merging of the musical culture of the steppe and south mountain Crimean Tatars (Tats). The process of formation of the Crimean Tatar musical art, to a certain extent, was also influenced by the musical culture of the Crimean-Armenians who lived together with the Crimean Tatars in the Crimea for half a thousand years and were evicted in 1778 to the lower Don. The author made an attempt to identify and,on the basis of lexical analysis of the language and historical antroponymy of the Crimean-Armenians and Crimean Tatars, as well as on the level of mutual influence and interpenetration of the musical cultures of both ethnic groups – to fix the degree of participation of the musical and song folklore of the Crimean-Armenians in the development of the Crimean Tatar musical culture.

Abduzhemilev, which serves the urgent task of studying and publishing sources on the history of the Crimean Khanate and the history of Islam in Crimea. This work, according to I.V. Zaitsev, is the earliest historical work on the Crimean Khanate that has come down to our time (it was written after the assassination of the khan in 1551 and completed in the summer of 1553) and has the character of an absolute panegyric to the ruling khan. The chronicle of Remmal Khoja covers the actual period of the reign of Khan Sahib Giray I, ending with a description of his death, funeral and a request from his daughter Nur Sultan to write an essay. The publication is accompanied by two articles – by I.V. Zaitsev (“The History of Khan Sahib Giray”) and R.R. Abduzhemilev (“A literary view of the work of Remmal-khoja”), contains two texts of the translation of “The History of Khan Sahib Giray” and a facsimile of the chronicle list stored in the collection of the Library of the Oriental Faculty of St. Petersburg State University. The publication is provided with an indeces of names and geographical and ethnic names. This book contains not only translations of Remmal-Khoja’s work, made in two editions, but is the first publication of fragments of V.D. Smirnov’s work – in other words, this edition reflects a certain stage in the development of Russian Turkology.

Published: September 2024

Plant development and crop productivity are drastically reduced worldwide due to biotic and abiotic stresses and their unexpected combinations. The various chemicals (pesticides, fertilizers, and phyto-regulators) and genetic engineering techniques employed to date to improve crop tolerance to multiple stresses have a negative influence on the environment and are time-consuming. This has accelerated efforts to find more eco-friendly ways to control plant stress. Chitosan is a biopolymer which is largely extracted from the deacetylation of chitin and appears as a viable tool to overcome these problems in search of a more environmentally acceptable solution. Due to its biocompatibility, eco-friendly and economic nature, become one of the most popular biopolymers used in agriculture. Chitosan also activates a defence mechanism by signal transduction pathway and transduces secondary molecules of hydrogen peroxide and nitric oxide to scavenge reactive oxygen species. Application of chitosan before subjecting to abiotic stresses such as drought, salt, and heat has been shown to stimulate plant growth and enhance the production of antioxidant enzymes, secondary metabolites, and abscisic acid. In drought, it helps to accumulate osmo-protectants to maintain the water potential of plant cells. On the other hand, plant responses towards chitosan are varying based on its structures, doses, developmental stages and crop type. Keeping these facts in mind this review has written with the objective to update the recent studies on chitosan, its various sources and its effective concentrations in different crops, mechanism of action against biotic and abiotic stress management to improve crop production in agriculture.

Authors: Meneses Rêgo Amalia Cinthia , Araújo-Filho Irami
Published: September 2024

This scoping review aimed to systematically map the current literature on cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in neurodegenerative disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and frontotemporal dementia. The primary objectives were to identify critical research areas, highlight existing knowledge gaps, and suggest directions for future studies. Following PRISMA-ScR guidelines, studies were selected based on predefined inclusion criteria, focusing on recent (last five years) original research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and clinical trials published in peer-reviewed journals. Comprehensive searches were conducted across multiple databases, such as PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, Scopus, and Web of Science, alongside grey literature from Google Scholar. Key findings demonstrated that mechanisms such as protein aggregation, mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and dysregulation of cellular degradation pathways are fundamental in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. The review identified significant gaps, particularly in understanding how these mechanisms interact and contribute to disease progression, suggesting a critical need for integrated, multi-targeted therapeutic strategies. This synthesis provides a foundation for future research efforts to develop targeted therapies and improve patient care.

Aşırı öğütülmüş kalkopirit konsantresinden bakırın nitrik asit ve dikromat ortamında seçimli kazanımı
Authors: Sarı Zeynel Abidin , Turan M. Deniz
Published: September 2024

Kalkopiritin liçi, kompakt altıgen kristal yapısından dolayı çoğunlukla zordur. Kalkopiritten metal ekstraksiyonunu geliştirmenin yöntemlerinden biri de aşırı öğütmeyle mekanik aktivasyon işleminin uygulanmasıdır. Bu çalışmada, aşırı öğütmeye tabii tutulmuş kalkopirit konsantresinin nitrik asit (HNO3) ve potasyum dikromat (K2Cr2O7) varlığında selektif liç işlemi incelenmiştir. Bunun için öncelikle kalkopirit konsantresi paslanmaz çelik hazne ve bilyelere sahip speks tipi bir öğütücüde belirli sürelerde öğütme işlemine tabii tutulmuştur. Daha sonra elde edilen ürün, sıcaklığı ayarlanabilen küvet düzenekli çoklu bir manyetik karıştırıcı vasıtasıyla liç işlemi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre artan liç sıcaklığı ve liç süresi ile birlikte bakır kazanımının arttığı diğer taraftan selektifliği azaltan demirin ise sınırlı oranda çözündüğü belirlenmiştir. Optimum şartlar olarak 25 dk speks öğütme süresi, 1,5 M HNO3 konsantrasyonu, 0,3 M K2Cr2O7 konsantrasyonu, 65 ℃ liç sıcaklığı, 120 dk liç süresi, 25 mL/g sıvı-katı oranı ve 400 rpm karıştırma hızında Cu ve Fe ekstraksiyon verimleri sırasıyla %98,6 ve %1,6 olarak belirlenmiştir. Diğer taraftan öğütmesiz koşullarda yapılan özdeş şartlardaki liç deneylerinde ise bakır ekstraksiyonunun %50 civarında olduğu hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca optimum şartlardaki deneylerde seçimliliği azaltan demirin liç artığında K-Cr-jarosit olarak kaldığı tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra demirin jarosit olarak çökmesinde ortam sıcaklığı ve çözelti pH değerinin oldukça etkin olduğu saptanmıştır.

Investigating the Foreign-Ownership Influence on the Growth of Firms in Southern African Development Community
Authors: Raithule Bataung I. , Kalebe Kalebe Moses
Published: September 2024

The study investigates the influence of foreign ownership on firm growth in the Southern African Development Community (SADC). Firm-level data from World Bank Enterprise Surveys for the years 2010–2022 and logistic regression are used to obtain results. Based on the findings, there is a positive influence of foreign ownership on firm growth in the SADC region. These results hold for both measures of firm growth, namely, growth in employment and growth in sales. This then implies that holding all else equal, foreign-owned firms in SADC are more likely to experience growth compared to locally-owned firms. Therefore, the creation of an enabling policy environment that stimulates growth, particularly for locally-owned firms, such as the development of policy frameworks that are supportive of innovation, competitiveness, and entrepreneurship, is imperative. Such frameworks will facilitate the growth aspirations of locally-owned firms operating in the SADC region.

Authors: Sebai Meriem , Talbi Omar
Published: September 2024

This study investigates the impact of banking development on economic growth volatility in developing countries over the period 2004–2019, using a panel quantile approach. By examining different facets of banking development, our findings indicate a negative effect of banking sector depth, access, and quality on economic growth volatility. Banking development significantly reduces economic growth instability across different quantiles of economic growth volatility. Nevertheless, banking efficiency increases economic volatility. This study provides valuable insights to financial regulatory authorities in making decisions related to banking development-economic instability nexus.

Authors: Santana Leonor M , Querido de Oliveira Chamon Edna Maria , Camarini Gladis
Published: September 2024

O Ensino Médio, ao longo da trajetória de políticas educacionais desde o final do século XX, vincula-se a questões que permeiam, tanto a formação propedêutica do jovem, como os direcionamentos de vida após sua conclusão. A Base Nacional Comum Curricular aborda uma educação baseada em dez competências gerais. A sexta competência é voltada para o Trabalho e Projeto de Vida, que tem por objetivo valorizar a diversidade de saberes e as experiências para entender o mundo do trabalho e fazer escolhas em relação ao projeto de vida, de forma autônoma, crítica e responsável. Considerando esse contexto, e com o objetivo de analisar as representações sociais de projeto de vida por estudantes do Ensino Médio de escolas públicas, realizou-se pesquisa de campo, descritiva e exploratória, com abordagem qualitativa e quantitativa. Participaram 641 estudantes de escolas localizadas em dois estados – SP e MG. Foram utilizados como instrumentos de coleta de dados um questionário sociodemográfico e a técnica de associação livre de palavras (TALP). Os resultados obtidos apontam para a estabilidade financeira como elemento do núcleo central, a ser conquistada por meio de uma profissão. Família, bens materiais, amigos e lazer compõem o sistema periférico. Isso expressa ênfase do projeto de vida em aspectos materiais e de ascensão social e forte aproximação entre educação e mundo do trabalho, sem espaço para aspectos políticos, sociais e pessoais.

Authors: Vale Cassio , dos Santos Terezinha Andrade Monteiro
Published: September 2024

Os Negócios Sociais por meio do Setor Dois e Meio são considerados mecanismos do setor privado para atuar em ações públicas como a educação a partir de novas configurações da relação Estado, mercado e sociedade sob a justificativa de causar impacto social sem esquecer o lucro. Nesse sentido, suas bases como o estímulo a um projeto societário individualista se fazem presentes na política educacional brasileira como a reforma do Ensino Médio via Lei nº 13.415/2017 que entre suas modificações curriculares destaca-se o componente Projeto de Vida em que jovens terão dita liberdade para escolher disciplinas alinhadas com suas perspectivas de vida futura. Logo, o objetivo do texto consiste em identificar de que forma os negócios sociais se materializam nos projetos de vida no ensino médio do Pará. Por meio da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental identificou-se que na realidade paraense há uma organização legal como o documento proposto pela Secretaria Estadual de Educação com treze unidades formativas que representam um guia prático para que escolas e professores possam orientar os alunos nas atividades em que ocorre a intensificação de valores do neoliberalismo como meritocracia e competição, além de que permitem a realização de negócios sociais na medida em que essas unidades fomentam o discurso mercantil, o que se coaduna com um novo perfil de homem empreendedor, autossuficiente, individualista em paralelo com as reivindicações coletivas que decorrem, em parte, do pertencimento social do território.

Relación calcio, fosforo, magnesio y selenio sobre la reproducción en vacas lecheras durante el periodo de transición
Authors: Portilla-Dominguez Elmer Camilo , Reyes-Bossa Bernardo Jose , Cardona-Álvarez Jose Alberto , Monter-Vergara Donicer
Published: September 2024

El período de transición es una etapa de cambios significativos tanto hormonales como metabólicos ya que pasa de un período de deposición de grasas durante la preñez tardía a uno de movilización de tejidos previo al comienzo de la lactación. Este período (tres semanas previas y tres posteriores al parto) es un cambio dramático para el animal, donde se producen los mayores desbalances energéticos y metabólicos. Durante la lactación temprana aumenta la actividad lipolítica en la vaca lechera, ya que el grado de lipólisis depende del potencial genético para la producción de leche y de la severidad del balance energético negativo (BEN). La mayoría de los desórdenes minerales en la vaca lechera ocurren en el periparto, y están directamente relacionados con el manejo nutricional durante el período seco, particularmente en las últimas semanas previas al parto. Se ha encontrado que la carencia o desequilibrio de minerales en el suelo se refleja en el valor nutritivo de los pastos y esto es una de las causas de la baja productividad y de los problemas de reproducción del ganado vacuno; esto se manifiesta en una tasa de concepción no mayor a 45%, un porcentaje de abortos que puede alcanzar al 10% y una edad y peso al primer servicio y al primer parto que están fuera de los valores eficientes para una ganadería productiva.

Crear alternativas en la alimentación de cerdos, la yuca es la más usada a nivel mundial por su valor nutricional, es por esta razón que la presente investigación tiene como objetivo sustituir el 20, 30 y 40% del maíz del balanceado comercial por ensilado de yuca para evaluar los resultados productivos y económicos en la ceba de cerdos en las etapas de inicio y final de ceba de cerdos criados en condiciones rústicas de traspatio en la Parroquia Canuto del Cantón Chone. Las variables fueron: consumo promedio diario, total del alimento y ganancia media diaria y total, conversión alimenticia, costos de la alimentación y determinación de grasa en el longisimo dorso. Se utilizaron 20 cerdos de 25 kg de peso vivo promedio, híbridos de las razas Landrace Belga y Pietrain, distribuidos al azar en 4 grupos iguales en peso, sexo y edad con 5 réplicas cada uno; se aplicó un modelo de análisis de varianza de un factor, IBM SPSS versión 20. Los resultados obtenidos no mostraron diferencias significativas. En la determinación del grosor de la grasa dorsal se encontraron diferencias (p<0.05), siendo mejor en todos los análisis TY3. El análisis económico favorece al tratamiento TY3. El ensilado de yuca puede sustituir parcialmente al maíz en todo el ciclo de ceba de cerdos sin afectar los resultados productivos y disminuyendo los costos sobre todo al final de la ceba.

Objective. The objective was to evaluate the effect of rainfall variability on the chemical composition, in vitro degradability and gas production of cacti in Semiarid region. Materials and methods. A completely randomized experimental design in a factorial arrangement of 2 rainfall periods (high and low rainfall) x 5 cactus species, with 5 replications was adopted. Cacti evaluated were Pilosocereus gounellei (Weber ex K. Schum). Bly ex Rowl, Cereus jamacaru DC., Opuntia ficus indica Mill, Nopalea cochenillifera Salm. Dyck and Opuntia stricta (Haw.) Haw, all fresh. Results. There was an interaction between rainfall variation and cactus species for dry matter, crude protein, neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber (p<0.05), in vitro gas production (p<0.05) and for in vitro dry matter degradability (p<0.05). Among cacti, Pilosocereus gounellei presented a lower proportion of organic matter and an increase in the content of mineral matter in relation to the other cacti (p<0.05). Conclusions. The chemical composition, the gas production coefficients and the in vitro degradability were influenced by the cacti species and by the rainfall variation. Cacti species increase the dry matter, crude protein and neutral detergent fiber contents during the low rainfall. Varieties of cactus pear (Opuntia and Nopalea) stood out among the cacti tested in relation to gas production and in vitro degradability.

Se realizó una investigación en la “Hacienda Manantiales del Rocío S.A.”, provincia de Manabí, Ecuador, dirigida a evaluar la respuesta de vacas de la raza Girolando a la administración de la hormona coriónica equina (eCG) posterior a la inseminación artificial a tiempo fijo (IATF). Se comparó un tratamiento testigo sin aplicación de la hormona contra un tratamiento con administración de 400 UI de eCG 20, 30 y 40 días después de la IATF (dd IATF). Se utilizó el mismo protocolo de inseminación para ambos grupos de animales. Se utilizó un diseño experimental completamente aleatorizado. Cada grupo contó con 29 animales. Las unidades experimentales estuvieron constituidas por una vaca Girolando. Se determinó el porcentaje de preñez por medio de análisis ecográfico en tres periodos distintos (30, 40 y 50 dd IATF). Las pérdidas embrionarias se cuantificaron por diferencia entre los periodos evaluados. Se utilizó la prueba de t Student para realizar comparaciones entre tratamientos. Los resultados evidenciaron que la aplicación de la hormona eCG posterior a la inseminación artificial no tuvo un impacto significativo sobre el porcentaje de preñez ni sobre las pérdidas por muerte embrionaria en las vacas de la raza Girolando.
Marcadores moleculares y genes asociados a calidad de carne en el ganado bovino
Authors: Camargo Pitalua Camilo A , Montes-Vergara Donicer E , Pérez-Cordero Alexander
Published: September 2024

La carne bovina es una fuente de proteína, la cual posee propiedades fisicoquímicas como la terneza, jugosidad, marmóreo, sabor y retención de agua, que influyen sobre la calidad de la misma. En la actualidad, con ayuda técnicas moleculares como la reacción en cadena de la polimerasa, electroforesis y secuenciación, donde se pueden analizar y detectar marcadores moleculares, se ha descubierto en varias razas bovinas que cambios de algún nucleótido en genes como la calpaína y la calpastatina principalmente, pueden afectar las propiedades antes mencionadas generando una carne mucho mas llamativa para el consumidor, por esta razón el uso de marcadores moleculares como una herramienta de selección cada día toma mas fuerzas, debido a que se puede obtener la información de que caracteristicas tendrá la carne de un individuo y de la descendencia, con el simple hecho de analizar una muestra biológica que contenga su ADN, en la presente revisión se describen algunos genes que tienen efecto sobre las propiedades de la carne y se mencionan polimorfismos de nucleótidos que pueden afectarlas, enfatizando en el gen calpaína y calpastatina, y su influencia en las distintas caracteristicas.
Critical assessment of a cancer/oncology journal that suddenly ceased publication: Journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology
Authors: Teixeira da Silva Jaime A.
Published: September 2024

This article provides a brief historical overview of a now-shuttered open access cancer/oncology journal, Journal of the Balkan Union of Oncology (JBUON), whose metrics peaked with a 2020 Clarivate Analytics journal impact factor of 2.533. JBUON suddenly ceased publication in December 2021. The scrutiny of JBUON papers of this PubMed-indexed journal at the post-publication website PubPeer revealed a myriad of ethical infractions and the likely association with paper mills. In addition to troubling information about JBUON’s publishing operations, this paper emphasizes the opaque manipulation of the content of an unknown number of papers, a procedure that is considered unscholarly, dishonest, or even predatory. The fatal publishing errors and mismanagement of this journal that led to its demise serve as a useful learning curve for other cancer/oncology journals that may feel tempted to manipulate the scholarly record, either to “save face” or give the impression of an error-free publication record.
The Power Dynamical Dissolution of the Logical Problem of Evil and a Foundational “Substance” for Metaethics
Authors: Curtis Paul
Published: September 2024

This paper aims to show that the traditional problem of evil can be logically dissolved by a more thorough analysis of what love (Agape, Eros, Philia) and evil actually are. When investigated this analysis reveals that they are manifestations and evaluations of power dynamical relations leading to a conclusion that it would be logically impossible for God to be all-loving and at the same time prevent evil as all-loving constitutes an unlimited, unjudgmental, empowerment and good and evil are simply evaluations or perspectives on that power use. To stop evil God would have to disempower in some way and that would not be Agape and thus logically impossible as Agape is part of the very nature of God. This paper reveals the “form” of good to be empowerment and the “form” of bad/evil to be disempowerment.
The Problem of Evil and the Simulation Hypothesis
Authors: Facal Christophe
Published: September 2024

I argue that the Problem of Evil diminishes the likelihood of the simulation hypothesis being true. In section 1, I present the simulation hypothesis. In section 2, I present the Problem of Evil and how it can be addressed to the simulation hypothesis. In section 3, I strengthen my claim by defending the idea that, on the grounds of the expansion of the moral circle, we can infer that potential simulators would most probably view simulated beings as moral subjects. Section 4 is dedicated to counterarguments and their responses, and section 5 contains a conclusion where I clarify the probabilistic nature of my argument.
The Burden of Philosophy: Evil and the Human Condition
Authors: Kanterian Edward
Published: September 2024

This article attempts to identify certain shortcomings in analytic philosophy as practised today. First, it identifies a disconnect between the darker aspects of the human condition and philosophers’ inability to engage with them. Second, it locates this inability in a certain logic of detachment, explored by Peter Strawson. Third, it points out problems with Strawson’s analysis, which it then tries to overcome, using Constantin Noica’s account of the Platonising attitude philosophers are perennially tempted by – one of several ways in which humans try to overcome their fallen condition. This is contrasted with Thomas Nagel’s valuable but still deficient discussion of the “cosmic question”. This brings us, finally, to a reconsideration of an older tradition in philosophy, which focused more explicitly on human fallenness. Petrarch’s Secretum meum is used as an example to show that while the failure of analytic philosophers has deep existential roots, it is not commendable. Philosophers must learn, again, to reflect on the darkness of the human soul – their own darkness.
“The Power of the One Needs the Stupidity of the Other.”1 Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity and Analysis of its Socio-political Impact
Authors: Răpcianu Ilie
Published: September 2024

Stupidity is a greater evil than evil itself. This could be the synthesis of the theory put forward by Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a Protestant pastor, theologian, counter-intelligence officer, and martyr, whose work decisively influenced the subsequent evolution of the relationship between society and theology. One of the most fascinating aspects of his thinking is represented by the theorization of stupidity, which appears in his meditation “After Ten Years,” where he outlines the disastrous consequences of human stupidity, as well as how stupidity – as a form of legitimizing evil – can be stopped. The greatest evil that society must confront is imbecility. But what is its connection to political (or radical) evil, and how can we stop its disastrous consequences?
Produktivitätsparadoxon der Digitalisierung im Krankenhaus – auf der Suche nach effizienzsteigernden Innovationen
Authors: Reif Simon , Bolz Theresa , Karamik Yasemin
Published: September 2024

The productivity paradox of digitisation in hospitals refers to the difficulty in realising measurable efficiency gains from digital innovations. Despite significant investments, healthcare costs continue to rise, particularly in OECD countries like Germany. While digitisation is expected to enhance efficiency, empirical evidence for substantial productivity improvements remains limited. This study analyses data from the European Hospital Survey and finds no clear correlation between hospitals’ digital integration and operational efficiency. It remains uncertain whether current policy efforts to increase health care digitalisation will yield the desired efficiency gains. More robust evidence to identify innovations that genuinely improve healthcare efficiency is needed to avoid cuts to available care for individuals in the social health insurance.
Suche nach einer stabilen, verlässlichen und solidarischen Finanzierung der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung
Authors: Greiner Wolfgang , Witte Julian , Gensorowsky Daniel
Published: September 2024

The German Federal Government has initiated key projects and reforms for the future development of healthcare in Germany. These include political initiatives for deregulation, digitisation, and large-scale structural projects. However, rather than directly contributing to the relief of the financial situation in the statutory health insurance (SHI), these initiatives inherently require investment and increased expenditure. It is therefore imperative that stabilisation of the SHI finances accompany structural healthcare reforms. Therefore, sustainable development of the SHI must include transparency about reform options, reliable data on their expected effects, and the will to critically evaluate them.
Reform der deutschen Notfallversorgung – was möglich ist und dabei auf dem Spiel steht
Authors: Molzberger Kaspar
Published: September 2024

The German healthcare system faces urgent challenges, with Minister Karl Lauterbach proposing two major reforms: restructuring hospital financing and overhauling emergency services. While past efforts to reform emergency care have failed, the current crisis – exacerbated by staff shortages and increased demand – has intensified calls for change. However, the complexity of Germany’s decentralised system and competing interests among federal, state and local governments, and service providers hinder progress. The Minister’s plan includes integrated emergency centres and improved coordination between hospital and pre-hospital acute care. Achieving these goals, however, remains fraught with legal and political obstacles.
Bunte Karte, bunte Wahlen? AfD-Präferenzen jenseits von Ost und West
Authors: Kopka Alexander , Runst Petrik
Published: September 2024

The sharp East-West difference that emerges in the cartographic representation of regional election results changes significantly once regional-specific characteristics are controlled for. The higher preference for the right-wing party AfD becomes less sharply delineated between East and West after accounting for these factors. Instead, we find patterns where certain regions in southern Germany display an increased share of AfD supporters. Nonetheless, there remains a stronger preference for the AfD in the East compared to other parts of the country. The remaining difference can be interpreted as a divergence in culturally influenced values.
Die politische Ökonomie des Parteiensystems
Authors: Adam Hermann
Published: September 2024

In the first three post-war decades, the party system in the old Federal Republic was concentrated on the two major popular parties, the CDU/CSU and the SPD, and there was a great deal of satisfaction with democracy. In the following decades, the 2.5-party system became a six-party system. This article analyses the economic background of this development. It comes to the conclusion that high growth rates with noticeably rising real incomes led to the concentration, while low growth rates and stagnation or falling real incomes led to the fragmentation of the party system.
