Die Reform der Gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung ist eine der wichtigsten Strukturreformen. Nach der systematischen Darstellung der Finanzierung der GKV und den damit verbundenen Problemen wird der Einfluss der demographischen Entwicklung auf Einnahmen und Ausgaben analysiert. Daraus werden Ziele für eine nachhaltige Finanzreform abgeleitet. Daran bewertet werden zunächst Reformen im Umlagesystem: Steuerfinanzierung, Bürgerversicherung, Kopfpauschalen und Kompromissmodelle. Wie Kapital innerhalb und außerhalb der GKV gebildet werden kann, wird mit den jeweiligen Vor- und Nachteilen diskutiert. Als Referenzsystem wird die Private Krankenversicherung analysiert und gezeigt, wie Alterungsrückstellungen bei einem Versicherungswechsel theoretisch übertragen werden können. Zahlreiche Berechnungen untermauern die Ausführungen.

AbstractSince its initial conception in 2017, the University of Denver Ethnography Lab (DUEL) has aimed to catalyze collaborations between students, faculty, and community organizations. Inspired by community–campus partnerships implemented in the past across the United States, DUEL seeks to cultivate a community of practice centered on ethnography in action, and to draw on strengths and opportunities specific to our university. In this article, we present the process that channeled the energies and ideas of 30 faculty and students from 10 different departments into the creation of DUEL, we share examples from our experience so far, and we identify challenges and opportunities for DUEL's future.

Ein großes Optimierungspotenzial der Funkenerosion liegt in den Energien der einzelnen Entladungen verborgen. Eine vektorielle Bestimmung der Entladedauern und die darauf basierende Energieberechnung sowie Klassifizierung erlauben es, die Entladeenergien, Entladungsarten und -dauern in Echtzeit zu überwachen und zu analysieren. Möglich wird dies durch ein Multiprocessing-Erzeuger-Verbraucher-Schema, welches überdies eine Visualisierung und Auswertung der Messdaten erlaubt.

A large optimization potential of electrical discharge machining is hidden in the energies of individual discharges. A vector-based determination of discharge durations and the resulting energy calculation and classification allow for real-time monitoring and analysis of discharge energies, discharge types, and discharge durations. This is made possible by a multiprocessing producer-consumer scheme, which also allows for visualization and evaluation of measurement data.

Uniparentally-inherited markers on mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) and the non-recombining regions of the Y chromosome (NRY), have been used for the past 30 years to investigate the history of humans from a maternal and paternal perspective. Researchers have preferred mtDNA due to its abundance in the cells, and comparatively high substitution rate. Conversely, the NRY is less susceptible to back mutations and saturation, and is potentially more informative than mtDNA owing to its longer sequence length. However, due to comparatively poor NRY coverage via shotgun sequencing, and the relatively low and biased representation of Y-chromosome variants on capture assays such as the 1240 k, ancient DNA studies often fail to utilize the unique perspective that the NRY can yield. Here we introduce a new DNA enrichment assay, coined YMCA (Y-mappable capture assay), that targets the "mappable" regions of the NRY. We show that compared to low-coverage shotgun sequencing and 1240 k capture, YMCA significantly improves the mean coverage and number of sites covered on the NRY, increasing the number of Y-haplogroup informative SNPs, and allowing for the identification of previously undiscovered variants. To illustrate the power of YMCA, we show that the analysis of ancient Y-chromosome lineages can help to resolve Y-chromosomal haplogroups. As a case study, we focus on H2, a haplogroup associated with a critical event in European human history: the Neolithic transition. By disentangling the evolutionary history of this haplogroup, we further elucidate the two separate paths by which early farmers expanded from Anatolia and the Near East to western Europe. ; Open Access funding enabled and organized by Projekt DEAL.
