Grenzüberschreitende Patientenbewegungen sind spätestens mit Beginn des neuen Jahrtausends in den Mittelpunkt gesundheitsökonomischer Betrachtungen gelangt. Besonders an der Grenze zwischen Österreich und Ungarn ist seit Jahren ein reger Patientenstrom im zahnmedizinischen Bereich zu beobachten. Die Studie generiert zunächst ein theoretisches Fundament für das mikroökonomische Entscheidungsverhalten potentiell migrierender Patienten. Auf Basis empirischer Daten aus Österreich und Ungarn und einer damit verbundenen Discrete-Choice Analyse erlaubt die Arbeit unmittelbare Rückschlüsse auf das Ausmaß dentaler Patientenströme an der österreichisch-ungarischen Grenze und mögliche Migrationsfaktoren im dentalen Sektor.

Embodied cognition represents one of most important research programs in contemporary cognitive science. Although there is a diversity of opinion concerning the nature of embodiment, the core idea is that cognitive processes are influenced by body morphology, emotions, and sensorimotor systems. This idea is supported by an ever increasing collection of empirical studies that fall into two broad classes: one consisting of experiments that implicate action, emotion, and perception systems in seemingly abstract cognitive tasks and the other consisting of experiments that demonstrate the contribution of bodily interaction with the external environment to the performance of such tasks. Now that the research program of embodied cognition is well established, the time seems right for assessing its further promise and potential limitations. This research topic aims to create an interdisciplinary forum for discussing where we go from here. Given that we have good reason to think that the body influences cognition in surprisingly robust ways, the central question is no longer whether or not any cognitive processes are embodied. Instead, other questions have come to the fore: To what extent are cognitive processes in general embodied? Are there disembodied processes? Among those that are embodied, how are they embodied? Is there more than one kind of embodiment? Is embodiment a matter of degree? There are a number of specific issues that could be addressed by submissions to this research topic. Some supporters of embodied cognition eschew representations. Should anti-representationalism be a core part of an embodied approach? What role should dynamical models play? Research in embodied cognition has tended to focus on the importance of sensorimotor areas for cognition. What are the functions of multimodal or amodal brain areas? Abstract concepts have proved to be a challenge for embodied cognition. How should they be handled? Should researchers allow for some form of weak embodiment? Currently, there is a split between those who offer a simulation-based approach to embodiment and those who offer an enactive approach. Who is right? Should there be a rapprochement between these two groups? Some experimental and robotics researchers have recently shown a great deal of interest in the idea that external resources such as language can serve as form of cognitive scaffolding. What are the implications of this idea for embodied cognition? This research topic aims to bring together empirical and theoretical work from a diversity of perspectives. Submissions are sought from any of the major disciplines associated with cognitive science, including but not necessarily limited to anthropology, cognitive psychology, computational modeling, linguistics, neuroscience, philosophy, robotics, and social psychology. Researchers are encouraged to submit papers discussing experiments, methods, models, or theories that speak to the issue of the future of embodied cognition.

Contrary to the common constriction of the euthanasia-discussion on “self-determination at the end of life" Eva Schumann claims rethinking in dealing with seriously ill and dying people. To meet their needs in her view a comprehensive access to outpatient and inpatient palliative care facilities is recquired and also improvements of care in nursing homes as well as offers to improve the integration of members into care. These claims conclude the discussion between assistance in dying (indirect euthanasia), and assistance to die (active and passive euthanasia). Taking account historical, interdisciplinary and comparative law issues it is demonstrated that the formal legal distinction between the various case groups of euthanasia not sufficiently takes into account the social dimension of dying.Entgegen der heute üblichen Verengung der Sterbehilfediskussion auf die Selbstbestimmung am Lebensende fordert Eva Schumann ein Umdenken im Umgang mit schwerkranken und sterbenden Menschen. Um deren Bedürfnissen gerecht zu werden, ist nach ihrer Auffassung ein flächendeckender Zugang zu ambulanten und stationären Palliativeinrichtungen, eine Verbesserung der Betreuung in Alten- und Pflegeheimen sowie Angebote zur stärkeren Einbindung von Angehörigen in die Pflege erforderlich. Diese Forderungen stehen am Ende einer kritischen Würdigung der unter dem Begriff der Sterbehilfe diskutierten Fallgruppen der Hilfe im Sterben (indirekte Sterbehilfe) einerseits und der Hilfe zum Sterben (aktive und passive Sterbehilfe) andererseits. Unter Einbeziehung historischer, interdisziplinärer und rechtsvergleichender Aspekte wird eindringlich dargelegt, dass die formaljuristische Differenzierung zwischen den einzelnen Fallgruppen der Sterbehilfe nicht hinreichend die soziale Dimension des Sterbens berücksichtigt.

Henry VIII was the infamous English king who abolished ties with the Catholic church and turned Britain into a protestant nation, positioning himself at the head of the new church. He is also famous for his many wives. In 1864 Louise Muhlbach, a German historical novelist, wrote a novel about Henry and his court, exploring his reign as she imagined it.

This Special Issue of the journal Symmetry contains a collection of papers devoted to the use of symmetry in finite element approximation of partial differential equations. More specifically, applications ranging from mechanical engineering to electromagnetics and fluid dynamics are considered. Both theoretical and computational aspects are considered. The contributions were selected to ensure the widest variety of themes. In particular, we wanted to include both theoretical papers (well posedness, stability) and numerical computations.

Die hier vorliegende Arbeit fußt auf einem doppelten Konzept. Das Vorhaben ist erstens, die wichtigsten Ideen und Inhalte, die das Thema "Der Orient im Werk Velimir Chlebnikovs" umfaßt, zu erörtern und darzulegen. Zum zweiten werden methodische Ansätze ausgearbeitet und exemplarisch angewendet, die einen möglichst produktiven Zugang zu den Texten Chlebnikovs bieten sollen.

This book aims to perform an impartial analysis to evaluate the implications of the environmental costs and impacts of a wide range of technologies and energy strategies. This information is intended to be used to support decision-making by groups, including researchers, industry, regulators, and policy-makers. Life cycle assessment (LCA) and technoeconomic analysis can be applied to a wide variety of technologies and energy strategies, both established and emerging. LCA is a method used to evaluate the possible environmental impacts of a product, material, process, or activity. It assesses the environmental impact throughout the life cycle of a system, from the acquisition of materials to the manufacture, use, and final disposal of a product. Technoeconomic analysis refers to cost evaluations, including production cost and life cycle cost. Often, in order to carry out technoeconomic analysis, researchers are required to obtain data on the performance of new technologies that operate on a very small scale in order to subsequently design configurations on a commercial scale and estimate the costs of such expansions. The results of the developed models help identify possible market applications and provide an estimate of long-term impacts. These methods, together with other forms of decision analysis, are very useful in the development and improvement of energy objectives, since they will serve to compare different decisions, evaluating their political and economic feasibility and providing guidance on potential financial and technological risks.
