This contribution presents the status quo of research on the Final Palaeolithic occupation of Schleswig-Holstein. Overthe last two decades new insights became possible based on isotopic, genetic, biostratigraphic, tephrochronologic, andarchaeological analyses. Some of these projects and studies are still on-going. The material on which these analyseswere performed was mainly uncovered during the 20th century. We particularly focus on the chronology and the differentchallenges associated with the Late Glacial record. To do so, we review the radiocarbon dating record of Schleswig-Holstein and adjacent areas, especially Denmark, including 11 new radiocarbon dates from the sites of Stellmoor andMeiendorf. At present, in particular, the period of the Federmessergruppen (i. e., curve-backed point industries) appearspoorly represented in this record. This shortage is due to preservational conditions on the one hand, as well as theoften uncertain attribution of osseous single finds to archaeological entities on the other. Hence, a synoptic analysis ofosseous remains of Late Glacial northern Germany and southern Scandinavia is desirable.The recently introduced partially laminated biostratigraphic lake sequence from Nahe LA 11 contains three cryptictephra layers including the first geochemically identified evidence of the Laacher See Tephra in Schleswig-Holstein. Thepalynological analysis of this archive interlinks palaeoenvironmental with archaeological research questions. Amongstother implications, the data provided here suggest a continuity of human and reindeer presence in the area until theearly Holocene. This result lines up with observations of shifting ecological zones throughout the Weichselian LateGlacial in Schleswig-Holstein.

To assess the effect of intercropping on malting quality a field trial with spring barley (Hordeum vulgare) and legume (pea) as well as non-legume (camelina and linseed) intercrops in two additive seeding ratios as well as sole cops was established in 2017 at the organic experimental station of University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück in North-Western Germany. Two tested malting barley cultivars (cv. Marthe and cv. Odilia) showed different performance, but all variants achieved brewing quality. Results after two years indicate that linseed and camelina were able to limit protein content. For best land-use efficiency of malting barley production intercropping with linseed showed best results. Mixed intercropping can help to promote internal efficiency loops and is therefore a promising sustainable intensification strategy for more resilient future crop production under changing climate conditions.

In einem Feldversuch wurden verschiedene Gemengepartner (Erbse, Öllein, Leindotter) geprüft, inwiefern sie geeignet sind um die Brauqualität von ökologisch produzierter Sommergerste zu beeinflussen.

Für die Heparinisierung während der perkutanen transluminalen Angioplastie (PTA), gibt es bis jetzt keine einheitlichen Richtlinien. Auch die kontrollierte Messung der erzielten Heparinwirkung ist nicht standardisiert. Anhand der Aktivierten Gerinnungszeit (ACT) untersuchten wir bei 45 Patienten die Wirkung der intraarteriellen Heparinbolusgabe auf die Blutgerinnung während der PTA. Jeweils 15 Patienten erhielten entweder 2500 I.E., 3000 I.E. oder 5000 I.E. Heparin. Uns interessierte, wie sich diese unterschiedlich hohen Heparindosen auf die ACT im Verlauf auswirken. Ebenso untersuchten wir, inwieweit die Faktoren Körpergröße, Körpergewicht, BMI und Körperoberfläche die Heparinwirkung beeinflussen. Up to now there are no uniform guidelines for heparinisation during the percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). Also the controlled measurement of the obtained effect of heparin is not yet standardized. Based on the activated coagulation time (ACT) we examined the effect of an intraarterial administered heparin bolus on blood coagulation in 45 patients during the PTA. In each case 15 patients received either 2500 I.E., 3000 I.E. or 5000 I.E. of unfractionated heparin. We were interested in how these different high doses of heparin affect the ACT in the course. We also examined to what extent the factors body size, body weight, BMI and body surface area affect the effect of heparin.
