Zentrale Orte gehören zu den wichtigsten Instrumenten der Raumordnung. Durch das Raumordnungsgesetz sind die Länder zur Ausweisung Zentraler Orte verpflichtet. Da die konkrete Ausgestaltung der Zentrale-Orte-Konzepte Aufgabe der Länder ist, haben sich in den letzten Jahrzehnten unterschiedliche Ausprägungen entwickelt. Der Beitrag gibt einen bundesweiten Überblick über die von den Ländern und Regionen festgelegten Zentralen Orte. Neben ihrer Anzahl und Größe werden auch ihre Lage und Netzdichte betrachtet. Zudem wird die Tragfähigkeit der Zentralen Orte sowie ihrer Verflechtungsbereiche thematisiert.

Here, we report a patient who was admitted to the hospital with headache, dizziness, right side facial numbness, and hoarseness. The individual was initially diagnosed with central nervous system idiopathic inflammatory demyelinating disease (CNS IIDD), which was then found to be CNS Lm infection (brainstem and cervical cord infection). CNS Lm infection mimicking CNS IIDD is rare but must be considered because the treatment is totally different and therapeutic error may be life-threatening. Keywords: Listeria monocytogenes, CNS infection, CNS IIDD

"The nature of the party systems in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) has puzzled many scholars. High instability of the party systems and their specific evolution makes the application of theoretical models designed predominately for Western European party politics problematic. The paper puts forward the argument that we should further elaborate and specify the models for a small N comparative party system analysis in CEE countries and to incorporate some region specific components into the framework. The essential dimensions included into proposed comparative framework are as follows: (1) the stability of the party system, (2) party system fragmentation, (3) parties' penetration into society, (4) the ideology and origins of the major parties, (5) the dominant cleavage constellations framing the party competition (6) the strength of the party organizations. The above-mentioned dimensions are expected to capture the most important aspects that make the difference between the party systems in general, and each dimension is complemented with the specific additional variables suitable for party system analysis in CEE in particular. The framework will be tested on the Baltic States, which party systems are often regarded to be very similar to each other. However, the analysis will demonstrate that based on the above-mentioned framework, very significant and noteworthy differences will be revealed." (author's abstract)
