Background: The risk of terrorist attacks in the Federal Republic of Germany is present and is currently increasing. Publicly funded acute care hospitals and their owners are involved in disaster control as part of their remit and are responsible for taking comprehensive precautions to ensure their operational capability in the event of disasters. This mandate must also be ensured in the event of terrorist attacks and amok incidents. For this purpose, an optimal cooperation between preclinical and clinical care is indispensable. Aim: Recommended actions for collaboration between nonclinical and clinical planning to manage a mass casualty incident in terrorist life-threatening response situations are presented. Material and methods: The Inter-Hospital Security Conference Baden-Württemberg (IHSC BW) is an association of representatives of acute hospitals in Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of the Interior, Digitalization and Migration Baden-Württemberg, the Ministry of Social Affairs and Integration Baden-Württemberg, the State Police Headquarters Baden-Württemberg and the Baden-Württemberg Hospital Association. From 2018 to 2020, the IHSC BW developed recommendations for action on cooperation between police, hospitals and non-police emergency response. The recommendations for action were agreed by the group members in 6 working sessions and initialled in two subsequent video conferences. A recommendation was considered adopted when the IHSC BW plenary assembly finally gave its approval with an absolute majority. Results and discussion: Competence-based interface solutions for a smooth cooperation between prehospital and hospital management in the care of patients who have become victims of a terrorist attack are to be demanded. For preliminary planning, the establishment of a local safety conference at the county disaster control authority level with the following participants is recommended: disaster control authority, fire department, regional police headquarters, chief emergency physician, rescue services and disaster control officers of affected clinics. It is recommended to set up a joint command and situation center (CSC), where management personnel from the police, rescue service, fire department and disaster control can meet to organize the handling of the incident jointly, competently and without loss of time. From this CSC, a liaison officer should then provide the clinics with information at regular intervals. Exercises should take place regularly. Cross-organizational exercises are particularly important, and this is one of the tasks of the local safety conference. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The potential rewards of non-formal education in language learning and teaching should not be underestimated. At the heart of this contribution, then, is an extensive dialogue between a language teacher and a museum guide. Together, they explore how their different disciplines can complement each other, with the overall aim of maximising the (language) learning effect for students, whilst also motivating them to engage in the art exhibition itself. They discuss the benefits museum learning can offer upper-secondary language learners and what challenges teachers and arts educators may face. It becomes clear that language learners can benefit from a collaborative relationship between their school and a museum, especially if the respective educators join forces in this shared mission.

The present work deals with the multiprofessional cooperation at vocational schools for the implementation of individual support. Teachers are supposed to cooperate with various professions such as school social work and psychology. The implementation of individual support is related to three areas by the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs: curriculum development, personnel development, and organizational development. The aim of individual support is to support learners in terms of vocational skills and comprehensive social participation. There are different perspectives on heterogeneity, either as a burden or as an opportunity. The implementation requires multiprofessional cooperation and an evaluation of the goals in coordination with the learners. The individual support of students at vocational schools requires teachers to have diagnostic skills, to recognize the limits of their own competencies, and to collaborate with other professions and institutions. The cooperation between schools and other institutions is regulated by state-specific school laws and enables the support of young people in the transition to vocational training. In order to meet the increasing need for support, cooperation networks are being established. The Youth Employment Agency Flensburg is an inter-institutional cooperation network that focuses on cooperation with vocational schools. The goal of the Youth Employment Agency is to offer individual support measures to young people up to the age of 25 in order to support them in starting vocational training or employment. Vocational schools also have their own intra-school cooperation networks, which include school social work, school psychologists, and counseling teachers. The challenges of multiprofessional counseling are illustrated by different approaches and objectives of the various professions. The implementation of individual support depends on the cooperation of all involved professionals and corresponding organizational structures. The text contains a list of sources and publications on the topic of heterogeneity in vocational education. [Extracted from the article]

The article describes the cooperation between the European Union (EU) and NATO. Both organizations have sharpened their security profiles and strengthened their partnership in response to the invasion of Russian forces into Ukraine. There is institutional cooperation and political dialogue between both organizations. The cooperation covers various areas such as security, climate security, and human security. Finland and Sweden have applied for membership in NATO, further strengthening the cooperation. The EU must assume its global responsibility in order to form a true unity with NATO.

Co-operative imparting of information literacy is desired by central committees and institutions. To achieve this goal, libraries are to interlink themselves with other important persons involved. The concrete ways to initiating and designing such co-operations, however, is not yet sufficiently examined. The article below closes this gap and places special emphasis on co-operations which are structures needing many pre-conditions. Institutions and persons interested in co-operations or already co-operating receive concrete information regarding the establishment or optimisation of co-operations in order to be able to react in an appropriate way to the requirements described.

In Austria, tertiary education is offered through 21 national universities, 19 universities of applied sciences, the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria), the Danube University Krems and 13 private universities. Their libraries and the Austrian National Library supply them with literature and information systems for science, education and research. On the national level, these libraries act jointly in the cooperations Austrian Library Network and the Austrian Academic Consortia. On an international level, these libraries cooperate with the Electronic Journals Library (EZB), the Database Information System (DBIS), subito, eBooks on Demand (EOD), the Austrian Library Statistics (ÖBS) and the Library Index BIX. The best possible supply of literature and information systems will be a big challenge for libraries in tertiary education institutions for the future. Currently, an appropriate master plan is lacking for the Austrian libraries. An initiative similar to Germany's priority initiative „Digital Information“ is needed to cover and to push ahead the subjects of national licences, Open Access, national hosting strategy, research data, virtual research environments and legal frameworks in Austria.
