L’objet du présent article est de proposer un état des lieux de la période troublée comprise entre le 1er janvier 1870 et le 31 décembre 1871, à travers sa réception dans six des principaux périodiques musicaux français et allemands publiés à Paris, Berlin et Leipzig. Ces bornes chronologiques assez larges permettent de tenir compte des six mois ayant précédé la déclaration de guerre franco-allemande et des sept mois ayant suivi la fin de la Commune de Paris. La première partie de cet article a pour sujet l’interruption provisoire ou définitive de la publication des périodiques musicaux parisiens et l’intérêt soutenu de chaque pays pour les nouvelles de son voisin. Les trois parties suivantes sont consacrées respectivement à la large diffusion du répertoire instrumental allemand à Paris, à la délicate position d’Offenbach durant la guerre et aux festivités du centenaire de la naissance de Beethoven. La cinquième et dernière partie de cet article étudie la vaste production de chants patriotiques et nationalistes. In diesem Beitrag wird eine Bestandsaufnahme der unruhigen Zeit zwischen dem 1. Januar 1870 und dem 31. Dezember 1871 vorgenommen anhand der Rezeption in sechs wichtigen deutschen und französischen Musikzeitschriften, die in Paris, Berlin und Leipzig erschienen. Dieser recht breite Zeitrahmen ermöglicht es, die sechs Monate vor der Erklärung des Deutsch-Französischen Krieges und die sieben Monate nach dem Ende der Pariser Kommune einzubeziehen. Der erste Teil dieses Texts befasst sich mit der vorübergehenden oder endgültigen Unterbrechung der Veröffentlichung der Pariser Musikzeitschriften und dem anhaltenden Interesse beider Länder an Nachrichten aus dem jeweiligen Nachbarland. Die folgenden drei Teile widmen sich der starken Präsenz des deutschen Instrumentalrepertoires in Paris, der heiklen Position Offenbachs während des Krieges und den Feierlichkeiten zu Beethovens 100. Geburtstag. Der fünfte und letzte Teil untersucht die umfangreiche Produktion patriotischer und nationalistischer Lieder. The purpose of the present article is to propose an inventory of the troubled period between January 1, 1870 and December 31, 1871, through its reception in six of the main French and German music periodicals published in Paris, Berlin and Leipzig. This broad chronological perspective makes it possible to take into account also the six months preceding the declaration of the Franco-German War and the seven months following the end of the Paris Commune. The first part of the article deals with the temporary or definitive interruption of the publication of Parisian music periodicals and the sustained interest of each country in news from its neighbour. The next three parts are devoted to the strong presence of the German instrumental repertoire in Paris, to Offenbach’s delicate position during the war and to the festivities of the centenary of Beethoven’s birth. The fifth and last part studies the vast production of patriotic and nationalistic songs.

Im Artikel wird das sozialpädagogische Handeln mit rechten Jugendlichen in den 1990er-Jahren unter einer genderreflektierenden Perspektive rekonstruiert, wobei der Begriff Männlichkeit und dessen theoretische Konzeptionierung als Analyseinstrument dient. Unter dem Einbezug männlichkeitstheoretischer Überlegungen wird exemplarisch ein genauerer Blick auf eine Interviewsequenz mit einer ehemaligen Fachkraft geworfen, die in den frühen 1990er-Jahren in der Jugendarbeit mit rechten Jugendlichen tätig war. Der Artikel beschäftigt sichmit der Frage, welche Auswirkungen aufgrund des fehlenden Einbezugs von genderreflektierender Perspektiven in die Ausgestaltung der Jugendarbeit mit rechten Jugendlichen Anfang der 1990er-Jahre auszumachen sind. Diskutiert wird, welche Folgen die fehlende Markierung, Auseinandersetzung und (kritische) Bearbeitung von männlichen Inszenierungspraxen hatte, inwiefern der fehlende Einbezug von genderreflektierenden Perspektiven zu einer Entpolitisierung von Männlichkeiten führte und welche Auswirkungen dabei im Umkehrschluss auf die Tradierung von Ideologien der Ungleichwertigkeit sowie auf rechtsextreme Szenebildungsprozesse auszumachen sind. n the 1990 s, the former GDR faced increasing juvenile violence by right-wing youth in many major cities and the landscape. This article reconstructs social pedagogy's approach from a gender-informed point of view while using theoretical concepts of masculinity as an analysis tool. Based on an interview sequence with a professional who worked with right-wing youth and research on masculinities, the social-pedagogical conduct and policies pursued at the time are considered. The article addresses the risk of not defining or examining masculinity based on the studies above. The article demonstrates how the lack of gender-reflective perspectives has led to a depoliticization of masculinities and how this affected the prevalence of ideologies of inequality within this right-wing scene.

Ökonomischer Druck und räumliche Verdrängung beschneiden die Teilhabechancen Einkommensarmer, auch und insbesondere in Bezug auf Mobilität. Dieser Beitrag beschreibt Ergebnisse des DFG-Projekts MobileInclusion. Anhand einer Analyse des ÖPNV-Angebots und einer Befragung von 40 „Hartz IV“-EmpfängerInnen diagnostizieren wir Ungerechtigkeit im Verkehrsangebot und identifizieren sieben Typen der Armuts-Mobilität. Aus den Befunden leiten wir drei Strategien ab, um Exklusion zu bekämpfen und bewerten das Potenzial des 9-Euro-Tickets hierfür., Economic pressure and spatial displacement constrain income-poor urbanites' inclusion, also and especially with regard to their mobility. This article describes the results of the MobileInclusion project, which was funded by German Research Foundation. Based on an analysis of public transport services and a survey among 40 welfare recipients, we diagnose inequity in transport provision and identify seven types of low-income mobility. From the findings, we derive three strategies to combat transport disadvantage. Furthermore, we evaluate the potential of the "9-Euro-Ticket" for this purpose. The "9-Euro-Ticket" was a special offer that allowed anyone to use public transport within whole Germany for 9 Euro per month in summer 2022.

Die öffentliche Versorgung der Bevölkerung durch Großküchen gewann im Verlauf des Ersten Weltkrieges an Bedeutung und blieb während der Nachkriegsjahre eine notwendige Maßnahme zur Linderung der Not in den Großstädten. Die vorliegende Dissertation untersucht anhand der Metropolen Wien und Berlin, ob die kriegsbedingte Massenverpflegung eine nachhaltige Veränderung der Ernährungsgewohnheiten in der Bevölkerung herbeiführte. Auf diese Frage liefern die beiden Hauptstädte auf dem ersten Blick unterschiedliche Antworten. Während für die Wiener Kriegsküchen sowohl wachsende Besucherzahlen als auch der Fortbestand der Küchen über den Krieg hinaus festzustellen sind, wurden die Berliner Großküchen von der Bevölkerung zunehmend abgelehnt und als „Notbehelf der Kriegszeit“ zurückgewiesen. Die Studie sucht nach den Ursachen für diese unterschiedliche Entwicklung und geht davon aus, dass hierbei nicht nur die sehr viel stärker vorherrschende Not in Wien, sondern auch mehrere sich gegenseitig überlagernde organisatorisch-administrative, soziokulturelle und (sozial-)politische Faktoren eine Rolle spielten. Im Mittelpunkt der Vergleichsanalyse stehen die kommunalen Kriegsverwaltungen als Organisatoren der städtischen Küchensysteme und die mehrheitlich aus Arbeiterschaft und Mittelstand bestehende Stadtbevölkerung als Empfänger der Verpflegungsangebote. Einen weiteren Analyseschwerpunkt bilden die im starken Maße von der Sozialdemokratie beherrschten sozialpolitischen Entwicklungen ab November 1918. An die öffentliche Verpflegung seit dem späten 19. Jahrhundert anknüpfend nimmt die Studie die Entwicklung der Massenverpflegungsaktivitäten beider Metropolen im Verlauf des Krieges in den Blick und kommt zu dem Ergebnis, dass sich das Wiener Kriegsküchenwesen im Gegensatz zur Berliner Volksspeisungsorganisation durch ein hohes Maß an kommunaler Eigenständigkeit, Entschlossenheit, Anpassungsfähigkeit und Kontinuität auszeichnete – allesamt Faktoren, die eine höhere Inanspruchnahme der Küchen begünstigten. Die vergleichsweise „effiziente“ Entwicklung der Wiener Massenversorgung wirkte sich nachhaltig auf das Verpflegungswesen der Nachkriegszeit aus. Die Sozialdemokraten, die in beiden Städten die politische Verantwortung übernahmen, betrachteten die öffentliche Massenverpflegung im Sinne des Social Engineering als ein zweckdienliches Instrument, mit dem die sozialdemokratische Rationalisierungspolitik unterstützt werden konnte. Dementsprechend betrieben die Verantwortlichen in Wien und Berlin einen großen Aufwand, um der kommunalen Massenverpflegung eine Zukunftsperspektive zu geben. Doch nur in Wien gelang es den Sozialdemokraten, die Stadtküchen zu erhalten und in ein modernes Verpflegungsunternehmen zu verwandeln. Die Studie ermittelt eine Reihe von Faktoren, die diese Entwicklung begünstigten und zeigt hierbei auf, dass die Wiener Entwicklung mit Blick auf die „moderne“ Berliner Speisehauskultur der Vorkriegszeit dennoch keine Innovation war. Schließlich kommt die Studie zu dem Ergebnis, der Erste Weltkrieg auf dem Gebiet der kollektiven Außerhausverpflegung keinen grundlegenden Wandel der Ernährungsgewohnheiten bewirkte. Angesichts der kommunalen Reformbestreben der 1920er Jahre trug er dennoch dazu bei, dass die Kollektivverpflegung einen festen Platz in der kommunalen Daseinsvorsorge einnahm., To properly care for the population, public kitchens gained in importance during the First World War. They continued to be a necessary measure to alleviate the hardship in the major cities during the post-war years. Based on the metropolises of Vienna and Berlin, this dissertation examines whether the wartime public kitchens led to a lasting change in the eating habits among the population. At first glance, the two capitals provide different answers to this question. While in Vienna, the war kitchens increased in demand and continued to exist after the war, Berlin’s population on the other hand increasingly refused to make use of the public meal halls and rejected them as a “stopgap solution”. This study looks for reasons for this different development and assumes that not only the much more prevalent hardship in Vienna, but also several overlapping organizational-administrative, socio-cultural and (socio-)political factors played a role. The comparative analysis focuses on the municipal wartime administrations as the organizers of the municipal kitchen systems as well as the urban population, consisting mainly of the working- and middle-classes, as recipients of the offered meals. Another focus of the analysis is on the sociopolitical developments from November 1918 onward, which were strongly dominated by social democracy. Building on public feeding since the late 19th century, the study looks at the development of public kitchen activities in both metropolises during the course of war and concludes, that in contrast to the organization of the Volksspeisung in Berlin, the war kitchen organization in Vienna was characterized by a high degree of communal autonomy, determination, adaptability, and continuity – all of them factors that favored a higher utilization of the kitchens. The comparatively “efficient” development of public feeding in Vienna had a lasting effect on the municipal catering in the postwar period. The Social Democrats, who took on political responsibility in both cities regarded public feeding, in terms of social engineering, as a useful instrument with which social democratic rationalization policies could be supported. Accordingly, those responsible in Vienna and Berlin made a great effort to give public feeding a viable future. Nevertheless, only in Vienna did the Social Democrats managed to preserve the municipal kitchens and transform them into a modern kitchen company. The study identifies several factors that favored this development, while pointing out that the development in Vienna was not an innovation compared to the "modern" food culture of pre-war Berlin. Finally, the study concludes, public feeding in the First World War did not bring about a fundamental change in eating habits. Considering the municipal reform efforts of the 1920s, the war nonetheless contributed to the establishment of community catering as a permanent feature of municipal public services.

Bielefeld : transcript Verlag 2023, 324 S. - (Bildungsforschung; 17), Was bedeutet es, Lehrer:in an einer Schule im 'Brennpunkt' zu sein? Hauke Straehler-Pohl stellt die gemeinsamen Reflexionen von Lehrer:innen in den Vordergrund, die sich dieser Frage widmen. Dabei entsteht nicht nur ein differenziertes Bild der Arbeit von Lehrer:innen, sondern auch davon, wie der Arbeitskontext - der 'Brennpunkt' - sich auf diese Arbeit auswirkt und ihr zuweilen eine dilemmahafte Struktur verleiht. Es wird deutlich: Die Herausforderung, sich tagtäglich in einem von Segregation geprägten Sozialkontext behaupten zu müssen, prägt die Art und Weise, wie Lehrer:innen auf sich selbst, ihre Schüler:innen, ihre Arbeit und die Gesellschaft blicken.

The COVID-19 pandemic poses a great challenge for cancer patients. Our aim was to assess its influence on treatment and appointments of melanoma patients after one year of pandemic.Melanoma patients treated in the Vivantes Skin Cancer Centre in Berlin, Germany completed a postal survey on pandemic-related alterations in melanoma care. Impact factors on changes of appointments were examined with descriptive analyses and multivariate logistic regression. Data after one year of pandemic were compared to those after its first wave.Among 366 participants (57.7 % males; mean age 69.2 years, response rate: 36.1 %), 38 (10.1 %) reported postponed or missed appointments, mostly on their own demand (71.1 %) due to fear of COVID-19 (52.6 %). Current treatment was associated with a lower risk of changing appointments (Odds Ratio [OR]: 0.194, p = 0.002), higher age (OR: 1.037, p = 0.039), longer disease duration (OR: 1.007, p = 0.028), and higher school degree (OR: 2.263, p = 0.043) with higher probability. Among 177 patients currently receiving therapy, only 1.7 % experienced pandemic-related treatment alterations. Concern about COVID-19 was significantly higher after one year of pandemic than after its first wave, but the number of missed appointments was lower.Pandemic-related changes were rare in our cohort and decreased over time despite increasing concern.

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries (OASIs) complicate about 5% of vaginal births. The risk of anal incontinence is increased. OASI detection rates improve with knowledge and experience. This study describes Berlin's medical care 10 years after starting training focusing on standards set at the German speaking country guideline on third degree tears.In 2018, women experiencing OASIs in Berlin's obstetric departments were informed about the study, including standardized after-care. Descriptive analysis in respect to anal sphincter function and risk factor analysis was performed.207 OASIs occurred in Berlin. 189 women participated. In 148 cases guideline according terminology was applied (n = 57 IIIa, n = 58 IIIb, n = 23 IIIc, n = 10 IV). Minor tears predominated. Minor and major tears differed in respect to birthweight (p = 0.047). N = 75 reported no sphincter function affection. Macrosomia compromised sphincter function (p = 0.008). Univariate analysis showed age (p 0.001), male infants (p = 0.017) and higher parity (p = 0.013) to be risk factors. Symptomatic women had weaker pelvic floor muscle (p = 0.009) and suffered from urinary incontinence (p 0.001). Multiple regression analysis showed an association of St. Mark's Scores ≥ 5 with parity (CI 0.191-0.847, p = 0.016) and ≥ 10 with maternal age (CI 1.077-1.396, p = 0.002) and for urinary incontinence with birthweight (CI 1.000-1.002, p = 0.032 and St. Mark's categories ((0-4, 5-9, 10) CI 2.657-10.904, p = 0.005)).Overall, Berlin's medical care of OASI is based on guideline standards. Anal and urinary incontinence correlate. Parity and higher age are risk factors in developing severe anal symptoms.

Compte tenu de l’évolution constante de la Belgique vers une plus grande décentralisation des compétences, le statut futur des institutions culturelles fédérales à Bruxelles demeure incertain. Afin d’élargir le champ du débat politique, le présent article présente une comparaison des configurations institutionnelles des institutions culturelles nationales dans différentes capitales fédérales. Les cas de Berlin, Brasília, Canberra, Ottawa et Bruxelles sont examinés, l’accent étant mis sur la répartition constitutionnelle des compétences et sur les mécanismes de coopération entre les niveaux de gouvernement. Cet état des lieux montre que le gouvernement fédéral joue invariablement un rôle dans l’administration des institutions culturelles nationales dans les différentes capitales. En outre, dans la plupart des capitales, des mécanismes de coopération culturelle sont mis en place pour coordonner l’action fédérale et celle des entités fédérées. Sur ce dernier point, il semble que des améliorations soient possibles à Bruxelles. In België worden steeds meer bevoegdheden overgeheveld naar de gewestendeelstaten, en dat maakt het toekomstige statuut van de federale culturele instellingen in Brussel onzeker. Om het politieke debat te verbreden, gaan we in dit artikel na hoe nationale culturele instellingen in verschillende federale hoofdsteden gestructureerd zijn. We nemen Berlijn, Brasilia, Canberra, Ottawa en Brussel onder de loep, met bijzondere aandacht voor de grondwettelijke verdeling van bevoegdheden en voor samenwerkingsmechanismen tussen regeringen. Uit het overzicht blijkt dat de federale overheid steevast een rol speelt in het bestuur van nationale culturele instellingen in deze hoofdsteden. Bovendien zijn er in de meeste hoofdsteden mechanismen voor culturele samenwerking ontstaan om federale en regionale deelstatelijke acties op elkaar af te stemmen. Op dat vlak is er in Brussel nog ruimte voor verbetering. Given Belgium’s continuing surge towards a greater devolution of powers, the future status of the federal cultural institutions in Brussels remains uncertain. To expand the scope of the political debate, this article provides a comparison of the institutional configuration of national cultural institutions in different federal capitals. This article will examine Berlin, Brasilia, Canberra, Ottawa, and Brussels with a particular focus on the constitutional distribution of powers and intergovernmental cooperation mechanisms. The overview shows that the federal government invariably plays a role in the administration of national cultural institutions in these capital cities. In addition, in most capitals, cultural cooperation mechanisms are established to coordinate federal and state action. On this latter point, there seems to be room for improvement in Brussels.

The nineteenth-century museum and auction house are seemingly distinct spaces with opposing functions: while the former represents a contemplative space that accumulates objects of art and science, the latter provides a forum for lively sales events that disperse wares to the highest bidders. This contribution blurs the border between museums and marketplaces by studying the Berlin Zoological Museum's duplicate specimen auctions between 1818 and the 1840s. It attends to the operations and tools involved in commodifying specimens as duplicates, particularly the auction catalogue. The paper furthermore contextualizes the museum's sales in a broader history of duplicate auctions across Berlin's collection landscape.

Between 1920 and 1925 a shift occurred in psychoanalytic theory that related primarily to the status of aggression. The author shows which authors in Berlin, Amsterdam and London participated in this change and to what extent they prepared the ground for the reception of Melanie Klein, who developed in her analyses of children a technique that applied pre-eminently to the perception and interpretation of aggression. The way in which Freud distanced himself from this departure from the primacy of the sexual is described, as well as the waning importance of his perspective following the establishment of the Institutes in Berlin and London.

Through a case study of an immigrant dense working-class neighborhood in Berlin, this article asks how racial and territorial stigmatization figure into state-enabled financialized gentrification and resistance against it. While there is a discussion on territorial stigmatization in the gentrification literature, this debate remains understated in the emerging financialized gentrification literature and rarely connects to race. Debates on resistance to financialization, in turn, while being attuned to the detrimental effects of stigmatization on struggle, pay little attention to the role of the local state as a producer of stigma. In this article I draw together debates on financialization, state-enabled gentrification and racial and territorial stigma to suggest that the local state, through its oppressive classifications and racialized representations of urban space, contributes to preparing the symbolic and material structures on which finance capital is able to flourish, not only by normalizing displacement, but by hampering resistance and demobilizing local working-class communities.

In September 2021, Berliners not only elected the Bundestag, but also the Berlin House of Representatives, the 12 district assemblies and decided on a referendum. In total, there were six decisions to be made on five ballots – an unusually large number for Berlin. On election day, an unprecedented number of problems and errors arose. After e-Day, many official complaints were filed. In general, the complainants are calling for the elections in the affected constituencies to be repeated. A key question is what legal consequences have resulted, will result, or could result. Have the errors led to unreasonable restrictions on the exercise of the right to vote area-wide? What is the smallest possible intervention to "cure" or compensate for the errors? Some of these questions have already been decided by the courts, while others are still awaiting a decision. The aim of this article is to provide an analysis, as far as possible, of why the errors occurred and to determine whether they are unique or whether they have their roots in the legal, organizational, and political framework.

Das Resümee von fünf Jahren "Bildungsmonitoring im Bezirk Berlin-Mitte" ist durchwachsen. Es konnten viele Daten erschlossen und Problembereiche aufgedeckt sowie Informationslücken und unabgestimmte Erhebungen identifiziert werden. Die Corona-Pandemie offenbarte die Anfälligkeit des ganzen Monitoring-, Informations- und Planungssystems. Die Etablierung eines stabilen projektüberdauernden Monitoringsystems ist bisher nicht gelungen, was letztlich auch auf die vielen involvierten Zuständigkeitsbereiche und deren Überlastung in den letzten zwei Jahren zurückzuführen ist. Das Projekt basiert auf einem Beschluss des Bezirks und wird in ressortübergreifender Zusammenarbeit von der bezirklichen Jugendhilfeplanung und dem Sprachförderzentrum koordiniert.

Dem deutschen Innovationssystem werden viele Defizite vorgeworfen: zu wenig Engagement bei der Digitalisierung, zu wenig Wagniskapital und zu wenige Unternehmensgründungen. In diesem Beitrag wird gezeigt, dass sich mit den sogenannten Company Buildern eine Form von Wagniskapital herausgebildet hat, die an den Institutionen des deutschen Innovationssystems anknüpft. Die Company Builder erleichtern den Gründer:innen den Einstieg am Markt und vielen traditionellen Mittelständlern den Kontakt mit der Startup-Welt. Dieser erfolgreiche und beschäftigungsorientierte Pfad sollte durch die Gründungs- und Wagniskapitalpolitik unterstützt werden.

Sozialraummonitorings sind in vielen Stadtverwaltungen ein zentrales Instrument der Stadtbeobachtung. Sie dienen insbesondere verwaltungsinternen Verantwortlichen als Analyseinstrument und Argumentationsgrundlage für (planerische) raumbezogene Entscheidungen. Anhand quantitativer Daten wird sowohl die sozialräumliche Lage als auch die Entwicklung von Teilgebieten im gesamtstädtischen Kontext beobachtet und eingeordnet. Mittels eines teil-standardisierten Fragebogens wurden für diesen Beitrag verwaltungsinterne Nutzende in vier Untersuchungsstädten zu unterschiedlichen Aspekten der Nutzung, der Methodik, der Bedarfe sowie der Stärken der Sozialraummonitorings befragt. Am Beispiel von Berlin, Hamburg, Köln und Stuttgart werden Einblicke in einige der thematisierten Befragungsinhalte gegeben.

Lateinamerika ist ein Kontinent in permanenter Bewegung, der seit Jahrhunderten Menschen in verschiedenen Weltregionen fasziniert und wissenschaftliche Neugierde weckt. Am Lateinamerika-Institut der Freien Universität Berlin ist das Interesse seit über einem halben Jahrhundert besonders stark ausgeprägt, findet doch die Beschäftigung in einem intensiven Austausch zusammen mit Lateinamerikanerinnen und Lateinamerikanern statt. Inmitten des Kalten Kriegs rückte Lateinamerika in den 1960er- und 1970er-Jahren in den Fokus vieler Menschen insbesondere in der Bundesrepublik. Der ,Kontinent der Revolutionen‘ erhielt unter anderem durch die Literatur des Booms, die Debatten um Entwicklung und ,Unterentwicklung‘ und schließlich durch die Diktaturen kontinuierliche Beachtung, die sich auch in der wissenschaftlichen Beschäftigung niederschlug. Es ist keine Selbstverständlichkeit, dass das Lateinamerika-Institut, auch bekannt als LAI, 2020 sein 50. Gründungsjubiläum gefeiert hat, zeichnet sich doch die Institutsgeschichte durch verschiedene Brüche aus. In den vergangenen fünf Jahrzehnten stellten sich Herausforderungen für das Selbstverständnis und die Zukunft des Instituts: seien es das wachsende Interesse an den politisch umkämpften Regionalwissenschaften nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg, die auch durch die 1968er- Bewegungen hervorgerufenen Umstrukturierungen im Hochschulbereich und Diskussionen um die sogenannte ,Dritte Welt‘, das Aufeinanderprallen der Ideologien und die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den Generationen, die Verletzung der Menschenrechte in Lateinamerika, die wachsende Mobilisierung der Studierenden oder die Sparmaßnahmen im Bildungssektor – all diese Entwicklungen sind eng mit der Geschichte des Instituts verbunden. Seinen Mitgliedern gelang es immer wieder, Momente des Umbruchs in Phasen des gemeinsamen Aufbruchs zu verwandeln. Die Ausstellung ist das Resultat des im Wintersemester 2019/20 im Rahmen des Masterstudiengangs durchgeführten Projektkurses „50 Jahre LAI – Vorbereitung einer Ausstellung anlässlich des Jubiläums einer geschichtsträchtigen Institution“. Das Vorhaben hatte die Intention, die Geschichte des jüngsten regionalwissenschaftlichen Instituts der Freien Universität Berlin quellennah und kritisch zu bearbeiten. Ein besonderes Anliegen der Ausstellung besteht darin, bislang wenig bekannte Facetten vor allem der 1960er- und 1970er-Jahre zu präsentieren und in einem weit über die Universität hinausreichenden Rahmen zu interpretieren. Grundlegend für die Darstellung sind neben Gesprächen mit aktuellen und ehemaligen Institutsmitgliedern auch Nachlässe, Protokolle und Akten des Institutsrats, des Kuratoriums und des Akademischen Senats, offizielle Dokumente und Flugblätter, Vorlesungsverzeichnisse, Lehrmaterialien, Zeitungsberichte und persönliche Korrespondenzen, die im Lateinamerika-Institut selbst, im Universitätsarchiv der Freien Universität Berlin und im Ibero-Amerikanischen Institut konsultiert wurden., América Latina es un continente en constante movimiento, que desde hace siglos cautiva a personas de diferentes regiones del mundo y despierta la curiosidad científica. Desde hace más demedio siglo, el interés por América Latina ha sido particularmente notable en el Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos de la Freie Universität Berlin, cuya actividad se caracteriza por la estrecha cooperación y el intercambio cultural constante con personas de la región. Durante la Guerra Fría, en las décadas de 1960 y 1970, muchas personas desarrollaron un gran interés en América Latina, especialmente en la República Federal de Alemania. Debido al boom de la literatura latinoamericana y a los debates en torno al desarrollo y ‘subdesarrollo’, como también al hecho de las dictaduras, ‘el continente de las revoluciones’ recibió una continua atención, que también se vio reflejada en el trabajo académico. Dada su historia de rupturas, la celebración en 2020 del 50° aniversario del Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos – también conocido como el LAI – no ha sido siempre un hecho evidente. En las últimas cinco décadas, el Instituto ha tenido que enfrentar diferentes desafíos para su propia identidad y para su futuro: el creciente interés en los políticamente disputados estudios regionales después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, la reestructuración del sector universitario y los debates sobre el llamado ‘Tercer Mundo’, provocados también por los movimientos de 1968, el choque de ideologías y los conflictos entre generaciones, la violación de los derechos humanos en América Latina, la creciente movilización estudiantil y las medidas de ajuste en el sector de la educación, entre otros. Todos estos acontecimientos están estrechamente vinculados a la historia del Instituto. Una y otra vez sus miembros consiguieron convertir estos momentos de transformación y cambio en fases de resurgimiento conjunto. Esta exposición es el resultado del curso “50 años LAI – Preparación de una exposición con motivo del aniversario de una institución de importancia histórica”, que se llevó a cabo en el semestre de invierno de 2019/20 como parte del programa de maestría. La intención del proyecto fue examinar críticamente la historia del instituto de estudios regionales más joven de la Freie Universität Berlin. La exposición hace énfasis en presentar facetas hasta ahora poco conocidas, en particular de las décadas de 1960y 1970, e interpretarlas dentro de un marco que trascienda la universidad. Además de las conversaciones con los miembros actuales y anteriores del Instituto, la exposición se nutre de legados, actas y archivos del Consejo del Instituto, del Consejo de Administración y del Senado Académico, documentos oficiales y folletos, catálogos de los cursos, material didáctico, artículos de prensa y correspondencia personal que se consultaron en el propio Instituto de Estudios Latinoamericanos, en el Archivo Universitario de la Freie Universität Berlin y en el Instituto Ibero-Americano., A América Latina é um continente em constante movimento, que desde muito séculos fascina pessoas de diferentes regiões do mundo e desperta curiosidade científica. O interesse pela América Latina já tem sido particularmente notável no Instituto de Estudos Latino-Americanos da Freie Universität Berlin há mais de meio século. Sua atividade se caracteriza pela estreita cooperação e pelo constante intercâmbio cultural com latinoamericanxs. Nesse sentido, no meio da Guerra Fria, entre a década de 1960 e 1970, muitas pessoas desenvolveram um grande interesse pela América Latina, especialmente na República Federal da Alemanha. O “continente das Revoluções” recebeu uma atenção contínua – que também se viu refletida no trabalho acadêmico – devido ao boom da literatura latino-americana, aos debates de desenvolvimento e “subdesenvolvimento” bem como aos feitos das ditaduras. Não é por acaso que o Instituto de Estudos Latino-Americanos, também conhecido como LAI e que comemorou seu 50º aniversário de fundação em 2020, é marcado por diversas rupturas. Nas últimas cinco décadas, o Instituto teve que enfrentar diferentes desafios em relação a sua própria identidade e ao seu futuro: o crescente interesse nos politicamente disputados estudos regionais depois da Segunda Guerra Mundial, a reestruturação do setor universitário provocada pelos movimentos de 1968 e as discussões do chamado “Terceiro Mundo”. Além disso, o choque de ideologias e o conflito de gerações, a violação dos direitos humanos na América Latina, a crescente mobilização estudantil e as medidas de austeridade na educação de forma que todos esses acontecimentos estão ligados à história do Instituto. Vez ou outra os seus membros conseguiram converter esses momentos de ressurgimento e de mudanças em fases de ressurgimento conjunto. A exposição é resultado, portanto, do curso “50 anos do LAI – Preparação de uma exposição devido ao aniversário de uma instituição de importância histórica”, promovido no semestre de inverno 2019/2020 do mestrado. A intenção do projeto foi pensar e trabalhar criticamente a história do mais jovem instituto de estudos regionais da Freie Universität Berlin. Um ponto importante da exposição é apresentar as diversas facetas do Instituto pouco conhecidas, sobretudo durante as décadas de 1960 e 1970, e atingir uma interpretação que vai para além da Universidade. Além da conversa com atuais e antigos membros do Instituto, a exposição se nutre de atas e de protocolos do Conselho do Instituto, do Conselho de Administração e Senado Acadêmico, de documentos oficiais e folhetos, de catálogos dos cursos, de material didático, artigos de imprensa e correspondência pessoais que foram consultadas no próprio arquivo do Instituto de Estudos Latino-Americanos, no Arquivo Universitário da Freie Universität Berlin e no Instituto Ibero-Americano.

El presente artículo aborda el Cementerio de la Revolución de Marzo desde su fundación en la Revolución Europea de 1848-49 hasta la actualidad. Durante la revolución de 1918-19, el cementerio fue ampliado y, a lo largo del tiempo, se ha ido transformando repetidamente según los diferentes sistemas políticos. Desde el principio, el Cementerio de la Revolución de Marzo ha sido un lugar que ha cumplido dos propósitos: ser espacio del luto personal de los familiares de los fallecidos y escenario de manifestaciones masivas y actos políticos conmemorativos para promover los derechos civiles y humanos. Los lugares de recuerdo de la historia de la democracia europea, como el Cementerio de la Revolución de Marzo, contribuyen a reforzar nuestras raíces culturales y políticas comunes y a establecer una cultura europea del recuerdo. This essay presents the cemetery of the March Fallen from its foundation in the European Revolution of 1848-49 to the present. During the revolution of 1918-19 the cemetery was expanded and over time it was repeatedly transformed in the different political systems. Right from the start, the Cemetery of the March Revolution has always been a place for two purposes: the personal grief of relatives of the dead, and mass demonstrations and political commemorative events to promote civil and human rights. Sites of remembrance for the history of European democracy such as the cemetery of the March Revolution help strengthen our shared cultural and political roots and help to establish a European culture of remembrance.

Objectives Establishing direct reference intervals (RIs) for pediatric patients is a very challenging endeavor. Indirectly determined RIs can address this problem by utilization of existing clinical laboratory databases. In order to provide better laboratory services to the local pediatric population, we established population-specific hematology RIs via data mining. Methods Our laboratory information system (LIS) was searched for pediatric blood counts of patients aged from 0 days to 18 years, performed from 1st of January 2018 until 31st of March 2021. In total, 27,554 blood counts on our SYSMEX XN-9000 were initially identified. After application of pre-defined exclusion criteria, 18,531 sample sets remained. Age- and sex-specific RIs were established in accordance with International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine (IFCC) and Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute (CLSI) recommendations. Results When compared to pediatric RIs supplied by other authors, the RIs determined specifically for pediatric patients from Berlin and Brandenburg showed several relevant differences, especially with regard to white blood cell counts (WBCs), red blood cell counts (RBCs), red cell distribution widths (RDW) and platelet counts (PLTs) within the distinct age groups. Additionally, alterations to several published age-specific partitions had to be made, while new sex-specific partitions were introduced for WBCs and PLTs. Conclusions Generic RIs from textbooks, manufacturer information and medical publications – even from nationwide or multicenter studies – commonly used in many laboratories might not reflect the specifics of local patient populations properly. RIs should be tailored to the serviced patient population whenever possible. Careful data mining appears to be suitable for this task.

Funder: FP7 Ideas: European Research Council; Id: http://dx.doi.org/10.13039/100011199, In this paper I seek to develop a larger argument from a small place that no longer exists. Since 2004 I regularly visited a wasteland or Brache, located on the site of the former Berlin Wall, before a process of enclosure and erasure that culminated in the construction of luxury apartments. I draw on my engagement with this temporary space, as a source of reverie and also as a site for ecological fieldwork, in order to reflect on the meaning of urban nature under the speculative dynamics of capitalist urbanisation. I consider the intersections between memory, place, and ecology as part of a wider engagement with 'spectral ecologies' in the urban realm. I suggest that affective interpretations of urban nature should seek to develop a conceptual dialogue between ethnographic insights and structural analysis of urban environmental change.

We investigated two choir outbreaks with different attack rates (AR) to analyze the contribution of LR transmission and highlight important measures for prevention. METHODS: We conducted two retrospective cohort studies and obtained demographic, clinical, laboratory and contact data, performed SARS-CoV-2 serology, whole genome sequencing (WGS), calculated LR transmission probabilities, measured particle emissions of selected choir members, and calculated particle air concentrations and inhalation doses. RESULTS: We included 65 (84%) and 42 (100%) members of choirs 1 and 2, respectively, of whom 58 (89%) and 10 (24%) became cases. WGS confirmed strain identity in both choirs. Both primary cases transmitted presymptomatically. Particle emission rate when singing was 7 times higher compared to talking. In choir 1, the median concentration of primary cases' emitted particles in the room was estimated to be 8 times higher, exposure at least 30 minutes longer and room volume smaller than in choir 2, resulting in markedly different estimated probabilities for LR transmission (mode: 90% vs. 16%, 95% CI: 80-95% vs. 6-36%). According to a risk model, the first transmission in choir 1 occurred likely after 8 minutes of singing. CONCLUSIONS: The attack rate of the two choirs differed significantly reflecting the differences in LR transmission risks. The pooled proportion of cases due to LR transmission was substantial (81%; 55/68 cases) and was facilitated by likely highly infectious primary cases, high particle emission rates, and indoor rehearsing for an extended time. Even in large rooms, singing of an infectious person may lead to secondary infections through LR exposure within minutes. In the context of indoor gatherings without mask-wearing and waning or insufficient immunity, these results highlight the ongoing importance of non-pharmaceutical interventions wherever aerosols can accumulate.

Before the international spread of monkeypox in May 2022, PCR kits for the detection of orthopoxviruses, and specifically monkeypox virus, were rarely available. Here we describe the evaluation of 11 recently developed commercially available PCR kits for the detection of monkeypox virus DNA. All tested kits are currently intended for research use only and clinical performance still needs to be assessed in more detail, but all were suitable for diagnostics of monkeypox virus, with variations in specificity rather than sensitivity.

The order Hepelivirales comprises RNA viruses of four families (Alphatetraviridae, Benyviridae, Hepeviridae, and Matonaviridae). Sequencing of virus genomes from water samples from the Havel River and the Teltow Canal (Teltowkanal) in Berlin, Germany, revealed 25 almost complete and 68 partial genomes of viruses presumably belonging to the order Hepelivirales. Only one of these viruses exhibited a relationship to a known member of this order. The members of one virus clade have a polymerase with a permuted order of the conserved palm subdomain motifs resembling the polymerases of permutotetraviruses and birnaviruses. Overall, our study further demonstrates the diversity of hepeliviruses and indicates the enzootic prevalence of hepeliviruses in unknown hosts.

Die Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin ist die gemeinsame Medizinische Fakultät von Freie Universität Berlin und Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin und zählt zu den größten Universitätskliniken Europas. Sie ist Forschungs- und Versorgungseinrichtung ebenso wie Ausbildungsstätte für ca. 9.000 Studierende, verteilt sich auf vier Campus und umfasst rund 100 Kliniken und Institute. Mit über 20.900 Beschäftigten, darunter 4.988 Wissenschaftler*innen und Ärzt*innen (Stand: April 2022), ist die Charité einer der größten Arbeitgeber Berlins. Die Medizinische Bibliothek der Charité unterstützt diesen Personenkreis aktiv in allen Belangen des Open Access. In dem Zusammenhang verwaltet sie seit 2018 zentral den Publikationsfonds der Charité und passt Geschäfts- und Finanzierungsmodelle bedarfsgerecht an. Ergänzend informiert sie die Autor*innen, wie sie ihren Zeitschriftenartikel Open Access veröffentlichen können. Die Medizinische Bibliothek der Charité hat mit ihren Leistungen wesentlich dazu beigetragen, dass der Anteil der Charité-Publikationen, die jährlich Open Access veröffentlicht werden, kontinuierlich wächst. Das Poster erfasst das Jahr 2021 in Zahlen, um die erheblichen Aktivitäten zur Förderung von Open Access an der Medizinischen Bibliothek zu veranschaulichen.

Wie es an der Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin um die Implementierung der FAIR-Prinzipien steht, wurde in einem von der Berlin University Alliance geförderten Projekt analysiert. Die Ergebnisse wurden ins bestehende Charité Dashboard on Responsible Research integriert. Damit ist die Charité unseres Wissens die erste Forschungseinrichtung weltweit, die die Nachnutzbarkeit von Datensätzen ihrer Forschenden umfassend und transparent darstellt. Analysiert wurden Forschungsdaten, die gemeinsam mit im Jahr 2020 publizierten Artikeln öffentlich in Datenrepositorien geteilt wurden. Für jedes im Artikel zitierte Repositorium wurde ein Identifier (URL oder DOI) an das Screening-Tool F-UJI gesendet. F-UJI berechnet anhand von Metriken und Tests einen Score, der pro Datensatz die prozentuale Erfüllung der einzelnen FAIR-Prinzipien abbildet. Die interaktiven Charts sollen Wissen über die FAIR-Prinzipien und ihr Monitoring vermitteln und ein Bewusstsein dafür schaffen, welche Voraussetzungen „FAIRe“ und somit nachhaltig nachnutzbare Daten erfüllen müssen.

Normdaten unterstützen eine erhöhte Sichtbarkeit und eine verbesserte Vernetzung von Daten. Die Gemeinsame Normdatei (GND) bietet für den deutschprachigen Raum über 9 Millionen verlässliche und eindeutige Datensätze zu u.a. Personen, Körperschaften, Orten, Allgemeinbegriffen mit persistenten URLs an. Die Datensätze sind frei nachnutzbar. Wenn man aber selbst neue GND Datensätze anlegen möchte, muss man sich der GND-Kooperative mittels einer Agentur anschließen. Derzeit gründen sich neue Agenturen, die sich speziell den Bedarfen von Fachcommunities jenseits der Bibliothekswelt widmen. Am Beispiel der Forschungscommunity in den text- und sprachbasierten Wissenschaften zeigt das Poster auf, wie der Aufbau einer GND-Agentur vor sich gehen könnte

Der Industriesalon Schöneweide ist ein „Bottom-Up-Projekt“, das in Schöneweide über viele Jahre gewachsen ist. Der gemeinnützige Verein wurde 2009 von aktiven Bürgern, Denkmalschützern, Zeitzeugen, Professoren der HTW Berlin und von vor Ort ansässigen Unternehmen gegründet.Seit dem Jahr 2016 erhält der Verein eine jährliche Projektförderung sowohl von der Senatsverwaltung für Wirtschaft, Energie und Betriebe als auch vom Bezirk Treptow-Köpenick. Förderziel ist die Vermittlung und Erschließung der lokalen Industriekultur - auch als neues Thema für den Berlin Tourismus. Dafür wurde im Industriesalon ein professionell arbeitendes Besucherzentrums etabliert, das verschiedene Themen-Touren durch das denkmalgeschützte „Elektropolis“ anbietet. Die Ergebnisse dieser vier Digitalisierungsprojekte sind auf der Museumsplattform museum-digital.de abrufbar.

Das Forschungs- und Kompetenzzentrum Digitalisierung Berlin (digiS) unterstützt ihre Projektpartner*innen bei den Themen Datenkuration und Datenaufbereitung. Die Vermittlung von digitalen Kompetenzen im Kulturerbebereich ist eines der zentralen Anliegen. Im Rahmen der Arbeitsgruppe “Digital Preservation” am Zuse-Institut Berlin (ZIB) entwickelt digiS zudem standardkonforme Services zur Sicherung der langfristigen Verfügbarkeit der Daten des Förderprogramms (Digitalisate und Metadaten). Basierend auf der am ZIB technisch bereits umgesetzten Datenstromerhaltung (bitstream preservation) haben wir in Kooperation mit dem Kooperativen Bibliotheksverbund Berlin Brandenburg (KOBV) das Langzeitarchivierungssystem EWIG aufgebaut, das die Nachnutzbarkeit, Rekontextualisierung und damit die Langzeitverfügbarkeit der Daten für verschiedene Nutzungsoptionen ermöglichen sollen. EWIG basiert auf der Open Source Software Archivematica und etabliert einen Preservation-Workflow für Daten aus dem Kultur- und Forschungsbereich.

Das Ziel des Forschungs- und Entwicklungsprojekts „Digitales kulturelles Erbe als Wirtschaftsfaktor im Kulturtourismus“ ist es, Daten aus verschiedenen Kulturportalen mit touristischen Plattformen zu verknüpfen, um die Attraktivität der kulturtouristischen Angebote zu verbessern und so den Tourismus Cluster als Ganzes zu stärken. Grundlage hierfür sind konzeptionelle Überlegungen zur Entwicklung einer entsprechenden Infrastruktur, die die technischen und organisatorischen Grundlagen für die Verknüpfung bietet. Im inhaltlichen Fokus des Projekts stehen einerseits Portale, welche digitales Kulturerbe zur Verfügung stellen und andererseits die Tourismusplattform Reiseland (TMB). Im Projektzeitraum 2/2020 bis 10/2022 wurden inhaltliche und technische Analysen der Ausgangsplattformen durchgeführt sowie prototypische Ansätze in den Bereichen Informationsintegration und digitale Bestandssicherung für die Darlegung einer künftigen Umsetzbarkeit entwickelt. Zudem erfolgte eine ausführliche Betrachtung des Aspektes Open Access in Bezug auf die digitalen Daten und Objekte aus dem Kulturerbe im Kontext der wirtschaftlichen, touristischen Nachnutzung. Hierfür erfolgten Daten-, Prozess- und Systemanalysen der Infrastrukturen der Portale im Bereich kulturelles Erbe sowie die Analyse der Datenmigration zwischen dem digitalen Kultur- und dem Tourismusnetzwerk.

Als Teil des aktiven Forschungsdatenmanagements werden im Datenzentrum der Berlin-Brandenburgischen Akademie der Wissenschaften (BBAW) seit mehreren Jahren Webpräsenzen digital gesichert und der Nachwelt vorgehalten. An der BBAW werden mindestens seit Mitte der 1990er digitale Projekte in den Akademienvorhaben durchgeführt, wie z.B. das digitale Turfan-Archiv, die Berliner Klassik oder auch die Jahresberichte für deutsche Geschichte. Digitale Informationssysteme haben sich seitdem fundamental geändert, neue Programmiersprachen wurden eingeführt, alte Programmiersprachen werden nicht mehr von den Betriebssystemen unterstützt. Auch die eingesetzten Webtechnologien haben sich seitdem geändert. In der Informationswissenschaft wird die Zeitspanne für digitale Langzeitspeicherung mit fünf Jahren angegeben. Die geisteswissenschaftlichen Grundlagenvorhaben der Akademie produzieren jedoch wissenschaftliche Ergebnisse, deren zeitliche Geltungsdauer eher mit Jahrzehnten, wenn nicht Jahrhunderten angegeben werden kann. Digitale Projektergebnisse sind flüchtig und werden (noch) nicht ausreichend langfristig kuratiert, wie dies bei Büchern in Jahrhunderte alten Bibliotheken oder in Archiven der Fall ist. Die digitale Konservierung von Webseiten findet bei TELOTA im Datenzentrum statt. Webseiten der Akademie, deren technische Erneuerung nicht mehr möglich ist, werden im Web ARChive (WARC) Archivformat gesichert und publiziert. Bis zum heutigen Tage wurden so ca. 100 Websites webarchiviert.

An ISMRM workshop on MR elastography was held at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin on August 25-26, 2022. As an exclusively in-person event, 65 participants from 9 countries attended the workshop despite COVID-19-related restrictions. The topics of the workshop covered cellular and microtissue mechanical interactions, the development of MR elastography driver technology, approaches to inverse problems, clinical applications, and integration of MR elastography into multiparametric MRI protocols. The workshop was a great success by promoting direct knowledge exchange as well as for strategizing future directions for MR elastography. In this symposium review, we briefly summarized all oral presentations as well as the concluding panel discussion.

Demands for accessibility bring dis/abled bodies and in/accessible infrastructures together in mutually defining encounters. Through the case of accessibility in Berlin's public transport system, I explore how these encounters figure in practice. Specifically, I present movement through public transport as an object of knowledge and intervention in accompaniment services and advocacy for accessibility. I analyze three forms in which this movement figures: Journeys, Mobility and Flows. Each of these forms delimits bodies and infrastructure in specific ways. Their limits and capacities are thus not self-evident givens, but variously known and negotiated in the critical work of creating and maintaining accessibility.

The Jewish emigrant Edith Jacobson is not only known as one of the most important psychoanalysts of the 20th century, but also for her participation in the leftist resistance group Neu Beginnen and her long prison sentence for "high treason" in Berlin. She escaped with the help of Otto Fenichel and Wilhelm Reich. Personal notes from the first days of her detention were considered lost, but remained in a private household for almost 80 years. This so-called "black booklet" contains poems and essay fragments on the effects of imprisonment on female prisoners and on psychoanalytic ideas about paranoia.The author of this paper found the prison records, made them accessible for the first time, and traces the story of this discovery. The paper sheds light on the texts it contains, the influence of detention on Jacobson's later work, and the reactions of the psychoanalytic community to her arrest.

The NoSAS score is a new tool widely used in recent years to screen for obstructive sleep apnea. A number of studies have shown that the NoSAS score is more accurate than previous tools, such as the Berlin, STOP-Bang, and STOP questionnaires. Therefore, this meta-analysis assessed the diagnostic value of the NoSAS score for sleep apnea syndrome in comparison to polysomnography. Two researchers searched the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane, and Web of Science databases through November 13, 2020. This paper used Endnote9.3 software to manage the literature and RevMan 5.3 and STATA12.0 software to perform the meta-analysis. A total of 10 studies were included in this meta-analysis, including 14,510 patients. The meta-analysis showed that the pooled sensitivity was 0.798 (95% CI 0.757, 0.833), the pooled specificity was 0.582 (95% CI 0.510, 0.651), the positive likelihood ratio was 1.909 (95% CI 1.652, 2.206), the negative likelihood ratio was 0.347 (95% CI 0.300, 0.403), the diagnostic OR was 5.495 (95% CI 4.348, 6.945), and the area under the SROC curve was 0.77 (95% CI 0.73, 0.80). The NoSAS score has good efficacy in identifying patients likely to have obstructive sleep apnea. The NoSAS score can accurately identify patients likely to have obstructive sleep apnea. Therefore, in the absence of polysomnography, one should use the NoSAS score to evaluate patients with suspected sleep apnea syndrome.

BackgroundE-scooters have emerged as a frequently used vehicle in German cities due to their high availability and easy access. However, investigations about the causes and mechanisms of E-scooter incidents and their trauma-specific consequences are rare.MethodsWe analysed all patients involved in E-scooter incidents from June to December 2019 who presented to four inner-city EDs in Berlin. The prospective data included patient-related and incident-related data, information on injury patterns and therapy, responses in a voluntary questionnaire concerning E-scooter use and general traffic experience.Results248 patients (129 males; median age 29 years (5–81)) were included: 41% were tourists and 4% were children. Most incidents (71%) occurred between July and September 2019, the majority occurring at weekends (58%). The injury pattern was mostly multifocal, affecting the lower (42%) and upper limbs (37%) and the head (40%). Traumatic brain injury was associated with alcohol consumption. Inpatient admission was recorded in 25%, surgery in 23%.ConclusionThis study has defined the incidence of injury related to E-scooter use in a major European city. Stricter laws governing the use of E-scooters, the wearing of helmets and technical modifications to the E-scooter platforms might decrease E-scooter-associated incidents and resulting injuries in the future.Trial registration numberGerman Clinical Trials Registry (DRKS00018061).

The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link. In 1963 the West Berlin mayor proposed a joint bid from West and East Berlin to host the 1968 Olympic Games. West Germany’s closest allies sought to persuade the West German and Berlin governments to stop the bid, which both supported but had largely kept secret from their allies. This episode demonstrates not only the significance which foreign ministries have long attributed to international sport, but also their clear involvement to actively end another country’s Olympic aspirations because of the diplomatic ramifications, particularly the potential to challenge the four-power control of Berlin, and their own self-serving interests in hosting the same event.

The COVID-19 pandemic and related restrictions have affected the wellbeing of schoolchildren worldwide, but the extent and duration of specific problems are still not completely understood. We aimed to describe students’ psychosocial and behavioral parameters and associated factors during the COVID-19 pandemic in Berlin, Germany. Our longitudinal study included 384 students from 24 randomly selected Berlin primary and secondary schools, assessing psychosocial wellbeing at four time points between June 2020 and March 2021. We analyzed temporal changes in the proportions of anxiety, fear of infection, reduced health-related quality of life (HRQoL), physical activity and social contacts, as well as sociodemographic and economic factors associated with anxiety, fear of infection and HRQoL. During the observation period, the presence of anxiety symptoms increased from 26.2% (96/367) to 34.6% (62/179), and fear of infection from 28.6% (108/377) to 40.6% (73/180). The proportion of children with limited social contacts (

During the so-called ‘refugee crisis’ of 2015 German chancellor Angela Merkel made the historic decision to welcome over one million refugees into the country. Throughout Germany municipal governments created a diverse range of temporary accommodations to house the arrivals, most notably in cities due to a lack of affordable housing. At the end of 2019 in Berlin, over 20,000 refugees were still living in institutional refugee shelter. These structures have come to be key mediators of the ways in which these newcomers have arrived in the city. Refugee shelters have primarily been understood in the context of the rich literature that has developed in recent decades around the ‘camp’ as a complex socio-spatial and political phenomenon. Yet the proliferation of different forms of refugee shelters especially in urban areas requires new theoretical lenses to shed new light on these structures. This thesis focuses on an alternative body of literature that considers the way urban infrastructures shape migration. It considers Berlin’s institutional shelters as part of infrastructural complexes to reveal how infrastructures shape the nature of refugee arrival in the city. It engages with emerging theoretical work on infrastructure and migration as well as presents empirical data obtained through eight months of on-site research that focuses on the quotidian experiences of refugees from their perspectives. It consists of three parts which examine the directional, contradictory, and entangled nature of infrastructure through its construction, calibration, operation, and location in relation to refugee arrival. The first part deepens understandings on the diverse ways that infrastructures sort and channel arrival trajectories to undermine the autonomy of refugee newcomers. The second part analyses the internal spatial dynamics of the shelters to explore the ways their contradictory functions as infrastructure blur the conceptual boundaries between camps, shelter, and housing and limit possibilities to inhabit domestic spaces. The third part explores the ways the urban locations of infrastructure shape everyday encounters and the development of relationships between newcomers and the city. While infrastructures can provide the potential to find stability within the city for refugees to move on from becoming forcibly displaced, the thesis argues that Berlin’s institutional shelters operate as infrastructures which undermine this process and exacerbate the uncanny and unsettling nature of arrival. Instead, refugees find the greatest scope for autonomy in their arrival through existing infrastructures of the city, especially the more informal ‘bottom up’ forms created and operated by existing migrant communities., Arts and Humanities Research Council

By 22 June 2022, 521 cases of monkeypox were notified in Germany. The median age was 38 years (IQR: 32–44); all cases were men. In Berlin, where 69% of all cases occurred, almost all were men who have sex with men. Monkeypox virus likely circulated unrecognised in Berlin before early May. Since mid-May, we observed a shift from travel-associated infections to mainly autochthonous transmission that predominantly took place in Berlin, often in association with visits to clubs and parties.

The influence of environmental conditions, such as temperature, barometric pressure, humidity, precipitation, sunshine and cloud cover on marathon running has been widely investigated. However, the influence of such conditions on the pacing of elite marathoners has not been considered yet. The present study aimed to investigate whether environmental conditions are related to the running speed and pacing of the fastest marathoners competing in the fastest racecourse in the world, the 'Berlin Marathon'.A total of 668,735 finishers (520,715 men and 148,020 women) competing between 1999 and 2019 in the 'Berlin Marathon' were analyzed by comparing elite and recreational runners. The associations between time-adjusted averages of the environmental conditions, the race times and running speeds were investigated. The runners were divided into performance groups consisting of recreational (all runners) and elite runners (the top 100, the top 10 and the top 3) which were separately analyzed for male and female participants.During race days, the temperature increased while humidity decreased showing a strong negative correlation between the two variables. For all runners, the average running speed through the race showed a strong negative correlation with temperature and a strong positive correlation with the level of humidity. Faster runners experienced lower temperatures and higher humidity levels than slower runners. When the performance groups were analyzed, temperature and humidity remained correlated to a similar extent for the top 100 but dropped dramatically for the top 10 and top 3, suggesting a weaker influence. In addition, barometric pressure showed a positive correlation with running speed in the top 100 and top 3 groups.Temperatures increased during race days while humidity decreased and both variables were negatively and significantly correlated. Faster runners experienced lower temperatures and higher humidity levels, while slower runners experienced higher temperatures and lower humidity levels which had a stronger negative impact on running speeds. Running speed was also significantly and positively correlated with barometric pressure in elite runners.

Background Against the backdrop of emergency department (ED) overcrowding, patients’ potential redirection to outpatient care structures is a subject of current political debate in Germany. It was suggested in this context that suitable lower-urgency cases could be transported directly to primary care practices by emergency medical services (EMS), thus bypassing the ED. However, practicality is discussed controversially. This qualitative study aimed to capture the perspective of EMS personnel on potential patient redirection concepts. Methods We conducted qualitative, semi-structured phone interviews with 24 paramedics. Interviews were concluded after attainment of thematic saturation. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, and qualitative content analysis was performed. Results Technical and organizational feasibility of patients’ redirection was predominantly seen as limited (theme: “feasible, but only under certain conditions”) or even impossible (theme: “actually not feasible”), based on a wide spectrum of potential barriers. Prominently voiced reasons were restrictions in personnel resources in both EMS and ambulatory care, as well as concerns for patient safety ascribed to a restricted diagnostic scope. Concerning logistics, alternative transport options were assessed as preferable. Regarding acceptance by stakeholders, the potential for releasing ED caseload was described as a factor potentially promoting adoption, while doubt was raised regarding acceptance by EMS personnel, as their workload was expected to conversely increase. Paramedics predominantly did not consider transporting lower-urgency cases as their responsibility, or even as necessary. Participants were markedly concerned of EMS being misused for taxi services in this context and worried about negative impact for critically ill patients, as to vehicles and personnel being potentially tied up in unnecessary transports. As to acceptance on the patients’ side, interview participants surmised a potential openness to redirection if this would be associated with benefits like shorter wait times and accompanied by proper explanation. Conclusions Interviews with EMS staff highlighted considerable doubts about the general possibility of a direct redirection to primary care as to considerable logistic challenges in a situation of strained EMS resources, as well as patient safety concerns. Plans for redirection schemes should consider paramedics’ perspective and ensure a provision of EMS with the resources required to function in a changing care environment.

BACKGROUND: The use of a public access defibrillator (PAD) increases the probability of surviving an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). No strategies exist, however, for the optimal distribution of PADs in an urban area in order to meet existing needs and ensure equal access for all potential users. It thus seems likely that the accessibility of PADs on the spatial level varies widely as a function of living circumstances. METHODS: This cross-sectional study is based on registry data concerning PAD (2022, n = 776) and OHCA (2018–2020, n = 4051), along with data on socioeconomic factors on the spatial level in Berlin (12 districts and 137 subdistricts). Associations of socioeconomic factors with the number of PADs per 10 000 inhabitants and the PAD coverage rate of sites of previous OHCAs were investigated. RESULTS: The median number of PADs per 10 000 inhabitants ranged from 0.46 to 2.67 at the district level, and only five districts had a median PAD coverage rate of sites of previous OHCAs above 0%, after aggregation of the analyses at the subdistrict level. Subdistricts with a more favorable economic status and a greater income disparity had a higher PAD density. Socially disadvantaged subdistricts had no association with PAD density. CONCLUSION: There are large deficits in the distribution of PADs at the small-scale spatial level in Berlin with respect to the goals of meeting existing needs and ensuring equal access for all potential users. The findings presented here will be of importance for the planning of future PAD programs so that the distributional efficiency and fairness of PAD in urban areas can be improved.

Refugee children often spend a considerable amount of time in refugee accommodations with limited space and limited access to communal facilities. Such environmental settings make it difficult for refugee children to engage in physical activity (PA), which is essential for their health and social inclusion. While there is a strong evidence base for environmental attributes associated with non-refugee children's PA, only a few studies have focused on refugee children. This article presents an exploratory study on the spatial characteristics of six refugee accommodations in Berlin and their relation to school-aged refugee children's opportunities to engage in PA. Micro-environmental attributes included building typology and availability, size, and access to communal PA spaces using Space Syntax. PA opportunities were assessed using staff surveys, interviews, and field trips. Results indicated that none of the case studies provided a comprehensive range of PA opportunities. They also revealed unequal access within the facilities. Whereas the role of size was inconsistent, vital predictors included fewer floors and corridors with easy access to internal and external PA spaces. Our recommendations include prioritizing compact buildings with moderate heights when retrofitting existing facilities and raising awareness for the importance of active play for this vulnerable group.

Background: Elevated triglyceride and glucose levels are associated with an increased cardiovascular disease risk including ischemic stroke. It is not known whether the response to a combined oral triglyceride and glucose challenge after ischemic stroke improves identification of patients with increased risk for recurrent vascular events. Methods: The prospective, observational Berlin “Cream&Sugar” study was conducted at 3 different university hospital sites of the Charité–Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany, between January 24, 2009 and July 31, 2017. Patients with first-ever ischemic stroke were recruited 3 to 7 days after stroke. An oral triglyceride tolerance test (OTTT) and consecutive blood tests before (t 0 ) as well as 3 (t 1 ), 4 (t 2 ), and 5 hours (t 3 ) after OTTT were performed in fasting patients. An oral glucose tolerance test was performed in all nondiabetic patients 3 hours after the start of OTTT. Outcomes of the study were recurrent fatal or nonfatal stroke as well as a composite vascular end point including stroke, transient ischemic attack, myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization, and cardiovascular death assessed 1 year after stroke. Cox regression models were used to estimate hazard ratios and corresponding 95% CIs between patients with high versus low levels of triglyceride and glucose levels. Results: Overall 755 patients were included; 523 patients completed OTTT and 1-year follow-up. Patients were largely minor strokes patients with a median National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score of 1 (0–3). Comparing highest versus lowest quartiles of triglyceride levels, neither fasting (adjusted hazard ratio t0 , 1.24 [95% CI, 0.45–3.42]) nor postprandial triglyceride levels (adjusted hazard ratio t3 , 0.44 [95% CI, 0.16–1.25]) were associated with recurrent stroke. With regard to recurrent vascular events, results were similar for fasting triglycerides (adjusted hazard ratio t0 , 1.09 [95% CI, 0.49–2.43]), however, higher postprandial triglyceride levels were significantly associated with a lower risk for recurrent vascular events (adjusted hazard ratio t3 , 0.42 [95% CI, 0.18–0.95]). No associations were observed between fasting and post–oral glucose tolerance test blood glucose levels and recurrent vascular risk. All findings were irrespective of the diabetic status of patients. Conclusions: In this cohort of patients with first-ever‚ minor ischemic stroke, fasting triglyceride or glucose levels were not associated with recurrent stroke at one year after stroke. However, higher postprandial triglyceride levels were associated with a lower risk of recurrent vascular events which requires further validation in future studies. Overall, our results do not support the routine use of a combined OTTT/oral glucose tolerance test to improve risk prediction for recurrent stroke.

Background Because of their high costs and low availability, sleep recordings cannot be used as routine procedures for sleep apnea screening. Therefore, it is important to have a performant screening tool allowing to select patients at higher risk for sleep apnea who need further investigations. The goal of the study is to compare the performances of the three commonly used sleep disordered breathing (SDB) screening questionnaires in a clinical sample. Methods Clinical data and sleep studies performed in consecutive adult patients referred to the Lausanne University sleep center for sleep recordings between November 2016 and February 2018 were analysed. Berlin, STOP-Bang and NoSAS screening scores were calculated and compared with the sleep studies’ results. Results NoSAS score showed a NPV of 0.88, a PPV of 0.43 and a correctly classified rate of 71% for an AHI >15/h. STOP-Bang score had a slightly higher negative predictive value (0.92) but a very low positive predictive value (0.30) and a poor correctly classified rate (47%). Berlin score showed globally poor results (NPV:0.85, PPV: 0.29 and a correctly classified rate: 56%). NoSAS score had the highest area under ROC curves (0.78) compared to STOP-bang (0.71) and Berlin (0.62). NoSAS score however yielded a slightly higher rate of false negative than STOP-Bang score. NoSAS false negatives were mainly female snorers with a low neck circumference. Conclusion NoSAS score showed a better discrimination capacity compared to Berlin and STOP Bang scores in an unselected clinical population referred to a sleep center.
