After cardiovascular illnesses, non-malignant diseases of the digestive tract are the most common illnesses affecting Germans, resulting in around 2 million hospitalizations every year. With the updated White Paper, the German Society for Digestive and Metabolic Diseases (DGVS) offers a validated scientific and statistical foundation to underpin the discussion of the present and future status of gastrointestinal diseases in Germany.

Autorschaft erfordert mehr als das Schreiben eines Textes: Um 1800 wird sie vor allem durch das gedruckte Buch hervorgebracht. In dieser Zeit entwickelt sie sich zu einem sozialen Phänomen, im deutschsprachigen Raum grassiert die »Schriftstellersucht«. Tobias Fuchs untersucht in diesem Kontext die auf das Buchartefakt bezogenen Praktiken des Publizierens zwischen 1765 und 1815. Die Materialität von Literatur betrachtet er dabei in ihren ästhetischen, merkantilen, poetologischen, rechtlichen sowie wissensgeschichtlichen Dimensionen. Der Bogen reicht von Jean Pauls handgeschriebenen Büchern über gedruckte Artefakte bis zur Makulatur.

The series Material Text Culturess the publication organ of the Collaborative Research Center 933 of the same name at Heidelberg University, funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). The series publishes collections and monographs dedicated to the Collaborative Research Center’s main focus of research – that is, the materiality and presence of writing in non-typographic societies.

In der Reihe Slavistische Beiträge werden vor allem slavistische Dissertationen des deutschsprachigen Raums sowie vereinzelt auch amerikanische, englische und russische publiziert. Darüber hinaus stellt die Reihe ein Forum für Sammelbände und Monographien etablierter Wissenschafter/innen dar.

For some time massive change needs primarily by libraries and other public facilities for the system of science communication have been formulated against the background the so-called "serials crisis. Great potential for modifications are attributed to information and communication technologies, which seem suitable to allow the distribution of scientific results in cheaper and faster than with the since the end of the 17th Century's established channels of communication of paper-based journals. The current discussion of the changes focus in particular on the phrase "Open Access" with the two basic design options "Green Road" the parallel free online publication media, and the "Golden Road," the primary publishing in open access media. In practice, however, there are numerous, highly differentiated business models for new forms of originary publication services, as well as complementary services. Some of these new forms of science communication are already described in the literature, usually as case-by-case documentations. A helpful addition would be a study grid, which would allow a structured description of different forms of scientific communication. To establish such a typology is the goal of this book. This typology is then used to select new services to be described and then compared. Another aim of the book is so is to make a contribution to the systematic description of reality and thus to provide a basis for sound research., Für das System der Wissenschaftskommunikation werden seit einiger Zeit vor dem Hintergrund der so genannten „Zeitschriftenkrise“ massive Änderungsanforderungen vor allem von Bibliotheken und weiteren öffentlichen Einrichtungen formuliert. Große Potenziale für Modifikationen werden den Informations- und Kommunikationstechno logien zugeschrieben, die geeignet dazu scheinen, die Distribution wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse kostengünstiger und schneller zu erlau ben, als dies mit dem seit Ende des 17. Jahrhunderts etabliertem Kom munikationsweg der papierbasierten Journale möglich ist. Die aktuelle Diskussion um die Veränderungen konzentriert sich insbesondere auf das Schlagwort „Open Access“ mit den zwei grundlegenden Ausgestaltungsvarianten „Green Road“, der parallelen freien Onlinepublikation zu kostenpflichtigen Medien, und der „Golden Road“, dem primären Publizieren in Open-Access-Medien. In der Praxis existieren allerdings zahlreiche, sehr differenzierte Geschäftsmodelle für neue Formen originärer Publikationsdienstleistungen sowie auch ergänzende Angebote. Einige dieser neuen Formen der Wissenschaftskommunikation werden bereits in der Literatur beschrieben, dieses allerdings in Form von Einzelfalldokumentationen. Hilfreich darüber hinaus wäre ein Untersuchungsraster, welches eine strukturierte Deskription verschiedener Formen der Wissenschaftskommunikation erlaubt. Eine solche Typologie zu erarbeiten ist ein Ziel des vorliegenden Buches. Die Typologie wird dann genutzt, um ausgewählte neue Dienstleistungen zu beschrieben und anschließend miteinander zu vergleichen. Ein weiteres Ziel des Buches besteht damit darin, einen Beitrag zur systematischen Beschreibung der Realität zu leisten und hierdurch eine Grundlage für fundierte Forschungsaktivitäten zu schaffen.

This volume opens the series of papers presented at the Vienna Congress of AILC/ICLA 2016, beginning with eight keynotes. Among others, thirty-four further papers are dedicated to the central theme of the conference: the linguistic side of world literature, under different focal points.

The German Inpatient Quality Indicators (G-IQI) are the most comprehensive system of quality indicators based on administrative data. G-IQI allow a disease-specific monitoring of inpatient care in acute care hospitals. On the one hand, the indicators are designed to provide medically meaningful figures on hospital performance and outcomes for external users. On the other hand, the indicators serve as a tool for internal quality management and quality improvement in hospital care. The indicators may help hospitals to identify potential for improvement by comparing their own results with national figures. The indicators serve as triggers for peer reviews or morbidity and mortality conferences. Thus, the use of the indicators is essential to detect medical errors and to improve quality of care. The present working paper contains the German national reference values of the year 2019 for the G-IQI version 5.3. Reference values were calculated by using the microdata of the national hospital statistics database (DRG statistics) and are displayed for each indicator. The technical specifications of the indicators are attached in the appendix of this paper and refer to the German coding systems valid in 2021. The G-IQI version 5.3 represents a modification and expansion of the previous version 5.2. In the year of analysis 2019, the present G-IQI version 5.3 captures 52.8% of all inpatient cases and 80.0% of all in-hospital deaths. Thereby, the G-IQI version 5.3 achieves one of the highest coverages among available quality indicator systems. The national reference values of the indicators help hospitals to assess their own results as compared to national figures. Beyond that, the national reference values provide a comprehensive analysis of inpatient care in German acute care hospitals. In addition to the complete national indicator results, the age-and-sex specific mortality figures that are used to calculate expected deaths at the hospital level are displayed. Furthermore, distribution of case volume among hospitals is illustrated for selected indicators. By this means, the present working paper covers various figures which are not published by any other statistics and, thus, complements other systems of health care reporting.

Many experts assume that urban mobility, and with it the urban environment, will change significantly in the future, partly due to new, digitally-supported mobility services. It is therefore important to understand how this change may look like and how it can be shaped. The papers in this volume aim to contribute to these questions from different perspectives. All of the papers were written in the project "Profilregion Mobilitätssysteme Karlsruhe".

This publication documents the papers presented at the symposium "The Stamitz family and European musician migration in the 18th century", which took place in Schwetzingen on 17 and 18 June 2017 on the occasion of the 300th birthday of Johann Stamitz. The conference was organised by the Research Centre for the History of Southwest German Court Music of the Heidelberg Academy of Sciences and the Mannheim State University of Music and Performing Arts. Johann Stamitz, a figurehead of Mannheim's court music, and his family are exemplary for the musician migration of the eighteenth century in Central Europe. Based on this, the papers will examine various aspects of the topic. It was part of the conference's concept to offer not only experienced experts in this field but also young scholars a platform for their own research and for the presentation of the results., Die vorliegende Publikation dokumentiert die Referate des Symposiums »Die Familie Stamitz und die europäische Musikermigration im 18. Jahrhundert«, das in Schwetzingen am 17. und 18. Juni 2017 aus Anlass des 300. Geburtstags von Johann Stamitz stattfand. Veranstaltet wurde die Tagung von der Forschungsstelle Geschichte der Südwestdeutschen Hofmusik der Heidelberger Akademie der Wissenschaften und der Staatlichen Hochschule für Musik und Darstellende Kunst Mannheim. Johann Stamitz, eine Galionsfigur der Mannheimer Hofmusik, und seine Familie stehen beispielhaft für die Musikermigration des 18. Jahrhunderts in Mitteleuropa. Ausgehend davon untersuchen die Referate verschiedene Aspekte des Themenkreises. Zum Konzept der Tagung gehörte es, neben erfahrenen Fachleuten auf diesem Gebiet auch dem wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchs eine Plattform für eigene Forschungen und für die Präsentation der Ergebnisse zu bieten.

In twenty papers from a joint conference held by the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences in Sofia and the Göttingen Academy of Sciences and the Humanities, this volume provides an overview of the latest issues in Byzantine legal history in the fields of civil and canon law, with additional forays into the law of Slavic and Islamic states and general questions of cultural history.

This volume examines the stylistic characteristics of threatening and abusive letters by right-wing extremists as well as left-wing extremist position papers and claims to responsibility. It applies qualitative and quantitative analytical methods to identify and describe the differences and similarities between these text types. The findings facilitate understanding of these text types and provide new perspectives for forensic author analysis.

The rebirth of Ancient Greek in Europe was promoted by Humanist education and ideas to such an extent that we can consider the Greek language as a formative element of Humanist culture. Next to Latin, the default common language, a Humanist has to know and use Greek, because he is not, cannot and will not be a barbarian: barbaros ou pelomai, as Julius Caesar Scaliger claimed in his verses in 1600. Wreaths (stephanoi) have been the symbols of the cult of Muses from ancient times. After the love for Greek Muses had been revived by Renaissance Humanist poets and scholars, it has remained with us both in poetic activity and in scholarship. The Hellenostephanos volume presents a collection of papers by scholars who study Humanist Greek, aspiring towards another revival of Hellenism, and trying to avoid being barbarians. The volume includes papers by Christian Gastgeber, Gita Bērziņa, Janika Päll, Charalampos Minaoglou, Erkki Sironen, Kaspar Kolk, Tua Korhonen, Johanna Akujärvi, Bartosz Awianowicz, Jean-Marie Flamand, Walther Ludwig, Alessandra Lukinovich, Martin Steinrück, Tomas Veteikis, Grigory Vorobyev, Vlado Rezar, Pieta van Beek, and Antoine Haaker.

This paper has two main objectives, to present some essential aspectual properties of Molise Slavic in comparison with other varieties in situations of strong language contact, and to discuss the role of language contact in each of these. Besides the grammatical categories of verbal aspect in the narrow sense, we deal with several more or less grammaticalised periphrases that also express aspectual functions or whose usage, at least, is triggered under the influence of verbal aspect. As in some other Slavic languages, having preserved traces of the original dual aspect system, Molise Slavic still displays a morphosyntactic aspectual opposition expressed by means of the perfect vs. imperfect, in addition to the Slavic derivational opposition between perfective vs. imperfective. Both oppositions combine with each other. The role of Romance in the reorganisation of these categories is discussed. The most salient innovation from a formal perspective is the imminentive calqued from Italian, but combinations of full verbs with phasal and modal verbs also show Romance influence. The results of the influence of dominant varieties on Molise Slavic in the area of aspectuality are compared with the development and behaviour of corresponding phenomena in the other languages and language families presented in this volume, in particular Resian and Slavic minority languages in Austria and Germany, Italo-Albanian, Italo-Greek, Baltic, German-based varieties in Northern Italy and Macedonian-based varieties in Albania and North Macedonia.
