Zusammenfassung Ungarn ist ein postkommunistisches Land, in dem für lange Jahrzehnte Armut oder Erwerbslosigkeit, verursacht durch eine Behinderung, neben anderen unerwünschten sozialen Problemen, in der Politik dethematisiert oder weitgehend ignoriert und mehr oder weniger als ´selbstverschuldet´ angesehen wurden. Menschen mit Behinderung waren und sind heute noch in Ungarn immer wieder stigmatisiert und ausgegrenzt. Die fehlende Wahrnehmung dieser Problematik und die geringe staatliche Unterstützung für Menschen mit Behinderung sowie deren Segregation im Bereich der Bildungs- und in der Beschäftigungspolitik hat in Ungarn eine lange Tradition. Dies kann man besser nachvollziehen, wenn man bedenkt, dass für Menschen mit Behinderung erst seit der politischen Transformation (1989) und besonders durch die neue Regelung im Hochschulsystem (2002) ein Zugang zum Hochschulstudium ermöglicht wurde. In dieser biografietheoretischen Studie beschäftige ich mich mit einem bisher kaum erforschten Thema: die Lebensgeschichten und Lebenssituationen von Menschen mit einer oder mehreren körperlichen Behinderung/-en in Ungarn, die ihre Kindheit und besonders ihre Schullaufbahn vor den politischen Transformationsprozessen (1989) erlebten und denen, gerade durch das neue politische System und insbesondere durch die geänderten Bedingungen im Bildungssystem (2002), die Teilhabe an Bildung – in diesem Fall das Studieren – ermöglicht wurde. Die bisherige Schul- und Bildungsforschung, aber auch der gesellschaftliche Diskurs in Ungarn, befasste sich vorwiegend damit, den schulischen Misserfolg von Kindern mit geistigen aber auch mit körperlichen Behinderungen zu erklären. Diese neue Erscheinung – Studierende mit Behinderung –, bot sich für mich als ein neues und spannendes Forschungsfeld an. Interessant in diesem Zusammenhang ist, dass bei den Student/-innen als Defizit benannte niedrige Schulqualifikation und damit ein Grund mehr für die Stigmatisierung als ´leistungsschwache Menschen´ nicht vorhanden ist, trotzdem werden sie in Interaktionen auf ihre Behinderungen reduziert und weiterhin in der Gesellschaft diskriminiert; d. h. die Behinderung (Abweichung) bleibt als Stigma erhalten. Im Fokus der vorliegenden Studie standen also das Verstehen der Prozesse der Stigmatisierungen und Diskriminierungen auf der individuellen und auf der gesellschaftlichen Ebene, die Problematik der institutionellen Einschränkung der Teilhabe und deren Aus- und Wechselwirkungen auf die Einzelbiografie. Von zentraler Bedeutung sind in den rekonstruierten Lebensgeschichten dieser Studie die Diskriminierungs- und Stigmatisierungsprozesse aufgrund einer Behinderung im Kontext von Selbsteinschätzung und Fremdzuschreibung (Selbstbild–Fremdbild). Diese Prozesse sind durch eigene biografische Erfahrungen sowie auf der kollektiven Ebene u. a. durch die historischen und politischen Traditionen des Landes geprägt. Anhand der Ergebnisse der vorliegenden Studie lässt sich festhalten, dass Student/-innen mit Behinderung im Laufe ihres Lebens ein sehr großes Entwicklungs- und Handlungspotenzial zeigen. Die persönlichen Leistungen werden aber von ihnen selber kaum positiv erlebt oder als solche wahrgenommen. Dies resultiert aus der Diskrepanz zwischen der Selbsteinschätzung und der Fremdzuschreibung, die auf starken Diskriminierungen in der Gesellschaft fußen und mit den fehlenden Möglichkeiten an gesellschaftlicher Partizipation (Teilhabe) einhergehen. In dieser Studie wurde dementsprechend auch danach gefragt, welche Erfahrungen zu welcher Strategie der Bearbeitung von Stigmatisierungen und Diskriminierungen aufgrund einer körperlichen Behinderung geführt haben. Dabei konnten Erfahrungs- und Handlungsmuster im Kontext der Gesamtbiografie nachvollzogen werden. So konnten nicht nur die Stigmatisierungsprozesse in gegenwärtigen Situationen in Ungarn analysiert werden, sondern auch, wie sich das Stigma-Management im Laufe des Lebens, aber auch durch die politischen und gesellschaftlichen Transformationsprozesse veränderte. Auf diese Fragen liefert die empirisch fundierte Typenbildung der vorliegenden Studie unterschiedliche Antworten. Bei den von mir konstruierten Typen der Bearbeitung der Behinderung – genauer gesagt, der Bearbeitung von Stigmatisierungen und Diskriminierungen – wird vom Einzelfall auf gleichartige Fälle geschlossen, die nach ähnlichen Regeln funktionieren. Dabei werden die Verallgemeinerungen nicht im numerischen, sondern theoretischen Sinne vorgenommen. Gerade die historische und politische Gegebenheit Ungarns verstärkte und vertiefte die Diskriminierungsprozesse gegenüber Menschen mit Behinderung, wobei die Auswirkungen der politischen und gesellschaftlichen Transformationsprozesse erst durch die Ergebnisse dieser interpretativen Studie näher betrachtet und in ihrer Komplexität besser verstanden werden können. Die Analyse beinhaltet also sowohl die Rekonstruktion des biografischen Verlaufs im persönlichen Umgang mit einer körperlichen Behinderung bzw. mit den Stigmatisierungen aufgrund einer körperlichen Behinderung; sie bezieht aber auch den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit Behinderungen und dessen Wandel mit ein. Gesellschaft und Individuum werden dabei nicht als dualistische Gegensätze betrachtet, sondern in ihrem Wechselverhältnis und ihrer gegenseitigen Bedingtheit untersucht. ; Summary Hungary is a post-communist country where for long decades poverty or unemployment caused by disability, among other undesired social problems, was not made a subject of discussion or was ignored and considered self-inflicted. In Hungary people with disabilities were, and still are, repeatedly stigmatized and excluded. The lack of awareness of this problem and the low state support for people with disabilities, as well as their segregation in the field of educational and employment policies have a long tradition in Hungary. The situation is better understood when one considers that access to higher education for disabled people was first facilitated after the political changes in 1989, in particular through the new regulations of the higher education system in 2002. In this biographic-theoretical study I concern myself with a topic hardly researched to date: the life stories and situations of people in Hungary with one or more disabilites, who were brought up and in particular educated before the political transformation of 1989, and for whom, exactly through the new political system and specifically through the changed circumstances in the educational system (2002), participation in education – in this case studying – was made possible. Previous school and educational research, but also social discourse in Hungary addressed predominantly the issue of explaining the failure of children with mental or physical disabilities in school. This new phenomenon – students with disabilities – offered a new and exciting research field for me. What is interesting in this context is that these students are still reduced to their disabilities in interactions and continuously discriminated in society, although they are in fact not low-qualified, a label of deficiency that provides yet another reason for their stigmatization as "low-achieving people"; i.e. the disability (deviation) remains a stigma. This study focusses therefore on the understanding of the process of stigmatization and discrimination at an individual and social level, the problem of institutional restrictions of participation and their impact on and interaction with individual biographies. In the reconstructed life stories of this study central importance is given to the processes of discrimination and stigmatization based on disability in the context of self-assessment and assessment by others (how you see yourself – how others see you). These processes are shaped by own biographical experience, as well as on a collective level, e.g. through the historical and political traditions of the country. On the basis of the results of this study we can establish that disabled students show great potential for development and action in the course of their lives. However, they themselves rarely experience or perceive their achievements as positive. This is a result of the discrepancy between their self-image and the image of others, which are based on strong discrimination in society and are accompanied by the lack of opportunity for social participation. It was also investigated in this study what kind of a strategy of handling stigmatization and discrimination on the basis of a disability was induced by which experience, and that allowed the understanding of patterns of experience and action in the context of the full biography. Not only the stigmatization processes in current situations in Hungary could be thus analysed, but also how stigma management in the course of life, and also through the political and social transformation has changed. The empirically based typification of this study provides different answers to these questions. By the types I constructed for handling disability – to be more exact handling stigmatization and discrimination – conclusions were made from individual cases to similar cases working according to similar rules. Thereby, generalizations were made not to a numerical, but to a theoretical effect. Hungary's historical and political circumstances directly intensified and deepened the processes of discrimination against disabled people. However, only through the results of this interpretative study can the impacts of the political and social transformation really be examined and in their complexity better understood. The analysis includes therefore not only the reconstruction of the biographical course of a personal handling of physical disability, and accordingly of stigmatization on the basis of a physical disability; but also society's behaviour towards disabilities and its changes. Society and individuals are thereby not regarded as dualistic opposites, but are examined in their interaction and their interdependence.
Legal Aspects of Representativeness of Social Partners In this study are analysed international, European Union, foreign countries and Lithuanian laws regulating the right of social partners to represent their members and the legal requirements for representativeness of social partners. The mentioned legal acts are analysed in order to present the definition of social partners, to reveal the legal concepts of the representativeness of social partners at international and European Union level and to identify the models of representativeness of social partners. In the first part of the study the historical overview of social partnership in labour law and the concept of social partners operating at international, European Union and national level are presented in order to provide the definition of social partners which is needed for further research. In the second part of the study it is examined the concepts of representativeness of social partners in international and European Union labour law, and on the basis of foreign countries legislation, it is distinguished the main models of representation of social partners and provided a detailed analysis of these models. In the third part of the study it is examined the influence of social partners on the European Union and Lithuanian legislation in determining the extent to which the social partners' representativity criteria have been precisely identified or implied, with the involvement of social partners in legislatives processes and suggestions are made to improve the existing regime in Lithuania. The results of the research show that the analysis of international, European Union, foreign countries and Lithuanian legislation allows to present the concept of social partners, to distinguish two legal concepts of representativeness of social partners and to present four different models of representation of social partners. According to the research carried out, it was found that the criteria of representativeness of the social partners clearly established in the Lithuanian legislation would help to answer the problematic issues arising from the lack of the criteria of representativeness of social partners which are not enshrined in Lithuanian laws.

In der Arbeit geht es um den Zusammenhang der politischen Entwicklung und des Sprach- und Kulturkontakts. Sie orientiert sich an einer mikrohistorischen und alltagsgeschichtlichen Perspektive und hinterfragt nationale Zuschreibungen. Die These, dass Mehrsprachigkeit bis in kleinste Einheiten hinein ein grundsätzliches Alltagsphänomen war, wird mit der Rekonstruktion der sprachlichen Verhältnisse in Chełmno/Culm überprüft. In einem interdisziplinären Ansatz versucht die Arbeit in sprachlichen Phänomenen sozial- und politikgeschichtliche Bedeutung zu erkennen, die einen substantiellen Beitrag zur Bewertung der Teilungen Polens liefert. Erstmals werden der Übergang der Stadt unter die preußische Herrschaft unter Einbeziehung der russischen Besetzung während des Siebenjährigen Krieges und die sprachlichen Verhältnisse in der zweiten Hälfte des 18. Jahrhunderts untersucht. Hierfür werden insbesondere die Theorien und Erkenntnisse der Kulturtransferforschung und der Histoire croisée aufgegriffen. Diversität ist kein Charakteristikum einzelner Regionen oder einer transnationalen Ebene sondern eine grundsätzliche soziale Qualität. Der Arbeit liegt das Verständnis zu Grunde, dass "Sprache" die menschliche Fähigkeit und Tätigkeit sprachlicher Kommunikation ist und "Sprache(n)" im Sinne von Einzelsprachen wie Polnisch, Deutsch und Latein Abstraktionen aus den konkreten Formen sprachlicher Kommunikation sind. Ausgewertet werden die in den Quellentexten zu findenden unterschiedlichen sprachlichen Elemente. Die Arbeit gliedert sich in die Einleitung, die drei Kapitel "Chełmno/Culm 1750-1800", "Sprachliche Vielfalt" und "Zwischen Polen und Preußen" sowie ein Ergebniskapitel. Beigefügt ist ein Anhang mit umfangreichen sprachlichen Belegen sowie je eine Zusammenfassung in deutscher, englischer und polnischer Sprache. In der Arbeit wird festgestellt, dass der Herrschaftswechsel sowohl durch gravierende Veränderungen als auch deutliche Kontinuitäten gekennzeichnet ist. Die sprachliche Untersuchung führt zu der Erkenntnis, dass ...

The costs of systemic treatment of lung cancer are rising rapidly due to the use of new and targeted substances. Increases in survival will further add to this development. This explains the exemplary health economic relevance of the treatment of lung cancer, which can be analyzed using various economic methods and instruments. From epidemiologic and economic perspectives, prevention should be given highest priority but the formation of health political and social opinion is not yet completed. Valid evidence on the roles of screening interventions can be expected in the next years. In this article legal, institutional and cooperative approaches within the health care system to address this problem are discussed.
Bis heute wird der Tod Karls VI. und der Regierungsantritt Maria Theresias 1740 als eine einschneidende Zäsur in der österreichischen Geschichte gesehen. Doch nun stellt sich vor dem Hintergrund eines weitergefassten Schnittstellenbegriffes (Reinhart Koselleck) die Frage, ob der zweifellos grundlegende Wandel zwischen 1720 und 1780 nicht differenzierter gesehen werden muss. Ausgehend vom Raum des Wiener Hofes, an dem der Herrscherwechsel in seinen Auswirkungen am ehesten dokumentiert werden kann, wird aus der Sicht sogenannten Hofkünste versucht, Kontinuitäten und Diskontinuitäten aufzuzeigen. ; Until today, the death of Charles VI and Maria Theresia's ascending the throne 1740 is seen as a major turning point in Austrian history. But now is the question of whether in different "layers" and "rooms" without doubt fundamental change between 1720 and 1780 not differentiated must be seen against the background of the concept of interface ("Sattelzeit"/Reinhart Koselleck). On the basis of the space "Viennese court", where the change of rulers in its effects most likely can be documented, attempts from the perspective of different disciplines (the so called "Hofkünste" – literature/poetry, arts, theatre/dance, music) point out continuities and discontinuities.
