Dealing with a mass casualty incident presents many challenges in the clinical and preclinical situation. There are various systems and structures to address this problem. In the present work, the management of the train accident near Garmisch-Partenkirchen on 3 June 2022 is evaluated with the aid of the recommendations of the Federal Office for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief for hospital alarm and deployment planning as well as the recommendations from the terror and disaster surgical care training of the German Academy of Trauma Surgery and the findings are presented from the perspective of a regional trauma center. It also discusses which key factors in the present case have proved to be successful and in which areas there is still a need for improvement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

OBJECTIVE: Studies have investigated the effects of lockdowns on air quality around the world and found that fine particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide concentrations decreased due to reduced human activity, while ozone concentrations increased. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the correlation between daily stringency index values of our country and daily PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone measurements in different districts of Istanbul between March 1, 2020, and February 28, 2022. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Ministry of Environment and Urbanization and National Air Quality Monitoring Network data on Istanbul air quality monitoring stations were used. The analysis included 15 stations that can monitor at least 75% of the days in a year. PM10, nitrogen dioxide, and ozone were the main pollutants analyzed. RESULTS: There was negative correlation between daily PM10 measurements and daily stringency index values in 3 stations; there was positive correlation in 6 stations. Between daily stringency index values and daily nitrogen dioxide measurements, there was a negative correlation in 3 stations and a positive correlation in 1 station. The daily measurements of 1 station showed a negative correlation with the daily values of stringency index for both PM10 and nitrogen dioxide. In 1 station, while PM10 measures were negatively correlated with stringency index, nitrogen dioxide measurements were positively correlated. CONCLUSION: This study showed that pandemic limitations could not improve Istanbul's air quality everywhere. For adequate evaluation of impact of the limitations on air quality, it may be more relevant to study the socioeconomic infrastructure of each living area, the sociospatial inequality, industrial employment, the number of households, the density of employee class, and so on with all influencing factors that could have contributed to these various changes.

The article "Ferdinand Wollenschläger, Hospital Reform, and Basic Law" discusses the criticism of the proposed requirements for the qualified initial assessment of the medical care needs of those seeking help. It is recommended to introduce an integrated control center and to include an independent claim for emergency management in the Social Security Code V. Furthermore, the regulation of patient guides in the Social Security Code V is examined and it is emphasized that patient guides should function as care and case managers. Wollenschläger's report deals with constitutional issues related to a reform proposal for hospital planning and remuneration. It is stated that the government commission's proposals are not fully covered by the federal legislative competence. Various possible solutions are examined, including a remuneration regulation without planning-relevant structural requirements and a constitutional amendment. The report also highlights possible constitutional risks and emphasizes the importance of adequate hospital care for the population. It is recommended to already deal with the effects of the planned reform in order to be prepared for possible surprises. [Extracted from the article]

Bernd Schorb’s conversation with Thomas Krüger, President of the Federal Agency for Civic Education (bpb), focuses firstly on the question of how important older people are as a target group for civic education, secondly on how this target group deals with digital media, and thirdly on what support the bpb offers in this regard. As in many areas of society, the efforts of political education leave something to be desired. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Krisen fordern Arbeitsmärkte und deren (institutionelle) Akteure heraus – die Coronakrise hat dies in Geschwindigkeit, Ausmaß und Dauer besonders deutlich gezeigt. Wie die arbeitsmarktpolitischen Akteure agieren, hängt nicht nur vom faktischen Krisenverlauf, sondern auch von der Ausgangslage der Akteure selbst ab. Für das BMAS wie für die BA gilt, dass zumindest partiell ein antizipierendes Bewusstsein für krisenhafte Entwicklungen konstatiert werden kann, auf dem die pandemiebedingten Maßnahmen organisational aufbauen konnten. Am Beispiel der BA verdeutlicht der Beitrag vor diesem Hintergrund empirisch, wie der Übergang von einer stark den Prinzipien des New Public Managements verpflichteten, gleichwohl hierarchisch organisierten Administration zu einer problemgesteuerten Krisenakteurin mit flexibler Reagibilität gelingen konnte. Eingebettet wird diese Zeitdiagnose in konzeptionelle Überlegungen entlang der Debatten um Governance und der Frage nach der Notwendigkeit öffnender Räume im Handeln staatlicher Institutionen. Die Autorin und die Autoren danken den beiden anonymen Gutachterinnen oder Gutachtern für die wertvollen Überarbeitungsvorschläge. Crises challenge labor markets and their (institutional) actors – the COVID-19-crisis made this particularly clear in terms of speed, extent and duration. How labor market policy actors act not only depends on the actual course of the crisis, but also on the positions of the actors themselves. For both the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs and the Federal Employment Agency (BA), it can be said that there was at least a partial anticipation of crisis developments, on which the pandemic-related measures were able to refer organizationally. Using the BA as an example, the article empirically illustrates how the transition from a hierarchical organized administration strongly combined with the principles of New Public Management to a problem-driven crisis actor with flexible responsiveness could succeed. This diagnosis is embedded in conceptual considerations along the lines of the debates on governance and the question of the necessity of opening up spaces of actions within state institutions.

The Federal Opium Agency of the Federal Institute for Drugs and Medical Devices (BfArM) informs patients about the rules for carrying narcotic-containing medications on trips abroad. In general, such medications may be carried for a travel duration of 30 days, but additional regulations and restrictions may apply in different countries. A certified travel certificate is usually required, especially for medical cannabis. The German Medical Association (BÄK) and the Working Group of Medical Ethics Committees in Germany (AKEK) have decided on a procedure to standardize professional legal advice for research projects in order to reduce the effort for applicants of multicenter studies. The new procedure can be applied immediately, while the BÄK and AKEK are advocating for legal adjustments to enable nationwide implementation. [Extracted from the article]
