The article reports on a ruling by the Federal Social Court (BSG) regarding the compulsory insurance of a doctor working in a foreign practice. The BSG decided that compulsory employment cannot be excluded just because 65 percent of patient fees go to the practice owners. The case involves a service contract between the practice and the doctor, which defines the tasks and responsibilities. The BSG ruled that despite the contract, the doctor can be considered as subject to compulsory insurance. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with a decision of the Higher Regional Court of Dresden in a medical liability case. A patient had sued the doctor claiming a treatment delay and physical injury due to an error in the collection of findings. The court dismissed the plaintiff's appeal and confirmed that the doctor's diagnosis did not constitute a diagnostic error. The Bavarian State Social Court ruled that the billing of GOP 01793 EBM is possible multiple times in case of illness if multiple pregnancies occur within a certain period of time. The court emphasized that the term "case of illness" exclusively encompasses this period. The decision has implications for practice as the eligibility for certain services is now clarified.

The review discusses the work "Papal Jurisprudence" by David L. d'Avray, which makes an important contribution to the study of papal decretals. The book provides a comprehensive presentation of early church law and examines the reception history of decretals from the 5th to the 13th century. D'Avray compares two periods and analyzes the interpretation and significance of these documents. The work is attractive to various readerships and stands out for its authoritative knowledge of texts and methods. It offers a meaningful selection of textual sources and convincing editorial decisions. The overall quality of the medieval transmission of decretals is good, although there are occasional uncertainties regarding authorship. The strengths and weaknesses of medieval canon law are illuminated. The second volume of the work "Papal Jurisprudence" by David d'Avray analyzes the phenomenon of the growing Christian community in late antiquity and its impact on the development of customs and norms within the communities. The author examines the papal responses to doctrinal and disciplinary questions of the 4th and 5th centuries and emphasizes the dual structure of the clergy and monasticism. He also shows how ancient decretals were preserved in the early Middle Ages and rediscovered in the 11th century. The ancient norms were successfully integrated into the canonical law of the later Middle Ages. The work offers a detailed interpretation of texts and analyzes larger contexts. It is of interest to readers without prior knowledge as well as to critical philologists and historians. [Extracted from the article]

The article deals with the marginalization and poverty of older people in society. It emphasizes that the image of old age as an unproductive phase of life is a distorted deficit image and that social risks such as poverty have more to do with a person's social status than with age itself. The authors shed light on the role of age images and social norms in the marginalization of older people and highlight the importance of digital technologies for their social participation. Therefore, old-age poverty and marginalization in old age are underestimated phenomena with complex causes that will be examined in more detail in this special issue. [Extracted from the article]

V tomto článku k antropologii sociálních vztahů ve Vietnamu rozvíjíme prezentaci z literární konference ve Španělsku pod titulem „New Forms of Devotion and Self-Sacrifice of Beautiful Women in the Vietnamese Romantic Literature of Tự lực văn đoàn“. Téma sebeobětování ženských hrdinek v literatuře pomáhá osvětlit, jak se autoritativní normy tradiční vietnamské společnosti uplatňují v interakci s vlivy západní kultury. Problematiky se dotýkáme ve dvou rovinách: na úrovni historických změn a v reflexi literárního hnutí Tự lực văn đoàn. Nejdříve charakterizujeme celé literární hnutí. Po představení spisovatelů a jejich typických hrdinů se soustředíme na jednoho autora: Khái Hưnga a hlavní rysy jeho díla. V komentáři se věnujeme obsahu jeho novely „Vprostřed jara“. Charakteristikou hlavní hrdinky se snažíme vyložit postavení žen ve vietnamské literatuře a společnosti koloniálního období. Ta zrcadlí silné sociální tenze. Literární tvorba nakonec významně přispěla k lepšímu vnímání a nakonec i postavení žen ve vietnamské společnosti.

In recent years, high-achieving students have received increased attention by researchers, policymakers and practitioners. However, the question of what exactly constitutes high academic achievement is not yet agreed upon by the research community. This paper provides a systematic review of how researchers studying high-achieving students since 2000 have operationalized high academic achievement in their research. In particular, we examined which performance indicators were used, whether achievement was conceived of as subject-specific or general, and which cut-off values and comparison standards were applied. The systematic database search yielded N = 309 articles, n = 55 of which were finally included in the analysis. The present study observed a diversity in the operationalization of performance. The most commonly used indicators of performance were grades and test scores, with cross-domain and subject-specific definitions both being common. Some of the studies' cut-off values were difficult to compare, but in instances where a population norm could be derived, the median proportion of high achievers was 10 percent. The study discusses that constraints on generalizability and comparability between different studies on high achievers can arise due to methodological differences. This paper concludes with recommendations for the operationalization of high achievement. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study examines the gap between attitude and behavior regarding the purchase of natural cosmetics among young adults in Germany. It is found that attitude significantly influences purchasing behavior, but other factors such as manufacturer transparency and social norms also play a role. The results show that manufacturing companies can reduce the gap between attitude and behavior by considering these factors. The study emphasizes the importance of environmental knowledge and social norms in the decision to purchase natural cosmetics. [Extracted from the article]

The article focuses on examining sociological and historical perspectives on emotion, emphasizing a "spectrum of intentionality" in emotional habitus formation and dissolution. It presents discipline-specific insights from a historian of the pre-modern Islamic Near East and a sociologist of contemporary Turkey, along with case studies from various periods in the Islamic world, illustrating the evolution of emotional experiences over time.

The article focuses on merging the history of emotions with the history of experience, exploring the nuanced relationship between the two in historical research. It mentions analyzing war writing from different eras, the authors argue for a closer examination of genres where emotions and experiences intersect, highlighting the significance of understanding how norms for feeling and expressing intersect with one another.

The article analyses multilingual and multicultural diversity in the narrative prose of the Croatian writer Nedjeljko Fabrio. Set in the borderlands of Dalmatia and Kvarner, Fabrio's novels evoke the lives of people belonging to different ethnic and speech communities – Croats, Italians, Austrians, Serbs, Yugoslavs, or as yet to be defined individuals – from the beginning of the 19th c. until today. Staging 'weak protagonists' rather than 'strong heroes' and inclining to sociolects and dialects rather than to standard language, his novels create a universe in which the characters' individual experience counters Croatian national narratives. Fabrio's narratives suggest that multilingual settings might either lead to conflicts between ethnic groups or to reconciliation between them. Ignoring social rules, individuals join other communities, moving up and down the class ladder. Such mésalliances result in complex genealogical trees out of which a hybrid culture emerges. Through allegorical transfer, the author signals the possibility of reconciliation between different conflicted communities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This analysis looks at the staged »wartime wedding« photos of German soldiers during the First and Second World Wars. In considering four pictorial examples, the discussion first turns to the significance of the »wartime wedding« topos in the photographic representation of couples—mostly in homosocial military contexts far from home. It then goes on to show how certain (sometimes transgressive) photographic representations of couples gave their protagonists a space for staging the self in ways that deviated from the conventional themes of the »wartime wedding.« The focus of investigation is on the extent to which such stagings of the self, especially in terms of cross-dressing, contributed to the stabilization and/or destabilization of gender norms during both World Wars.

Smoke Signals: Tobacco Production and Gender in a Global and Historiographic Context. This contribution aims to unpack female public and political agency within tobacco factories while highlighting and contrasting twentieth-century case studies, based on the European and North American continents at the intersections of gender, class, and race. Further, the article analyses the diverse and differing working conditions for women employees in the tobacco sector and their socio-economic implications from a national, transborder, and transatlantic perspective. By examining and discussing gendered processes and cultural norms in cigarette and cigar manufacturing plants in Austria-Hungary, the post-Habsburg territories, and the United States from the late nineteenth century to the end of the Second World War, this study attempts to dissect the parameters sex, social milieus, ethnicity, and migratory backgrounds in conjunction with multi-layered exploitative processes of production and consumption in the tobacco industry.

The aim of this research was to investigate the opinions of parents at different stages of parenthood, about the myths of authoritarian parenting and gender stereotypes in parenting in the context of their own upbringing and social expectations. Considering the influence of one’s own parents, the way of growing up and the influence of wider society and social norms, the initial assumption of the research was that the way of growing up, as a family factor and social norms, as a social factor, define parents’ opinions on myths about authoritarian parenting and gender stereotypes in parenting. Twelve respondents participated in the research; a qualitative method of semi-structured interview was used. The results of the research showed that family factors, such as the way of growing up and the parenting style, but also social factors such as the social environment and media, influence parents’ opinions of myths about authoritarian parenting and gender stereotypes in parenting. Also, it was found that parents differ in their opinions on the myths about authoritarian parenting and gender stereotypes in parenting, depending on the stage of parenthood they are currently in.

Mobilität und Tourismus gehören untrennbar zusammen, denn ohne einen Ortswechsel gibt es keine Urlaubsreise. Der Tourismus aber verursacht anthropogene Kohlendioxidemissionen, von denen etwa 75 % auf den touristischen Verkehr entfallen. Angesichts dieses Beitrags zum Klimawandel erscheint es notwendig, sich mit Wegen zu einer ökologischen touristischen Mobilität zu beschäftigen. Zur Untersuchung der Einflussfaktoren auf die touristische Verkehrsmittelwahl wurde ein Erklärungsmodell basierend auf der Theorie des geplanten Verhaltens entwickelt. Neben den Basiskonstrukten wurden als ergänzende Modellkonstrukte die persönliche Norm, das allgemeine Umweltbewusstsein sowie gewohnheitsmäßiges Handeln hinzugefügt. Eine empirische Untersuchung mit n=738 ermittelte durch multiple lineare Regression wichtige Ansatzpunkte für die Gestaltung von Handlungsempfehlungen. Mobility and tourism are inseparable linked, because there is no vacation trip without a change of location. However, tourism causes around 5 % of anthropogenic carbon dioxide emissions, of which around 75 % is attributable to tourist traffic. In view of this contribution of tourist traffic to climate change, it seems necessary to deal with ways to an ecological tourist mobility. An explanatory model based on the theory of planned behavior was developed to investigate the influencing factors on the choice of tourist mode of transport. In addition to the basic constructs of attitude, subjective norm and perceived behavior control, the personal norm, general environmental awareness and habitual behavior were added as supplementary model constructs. An empirical study with n = 738 identified important starting points for the design of recommendations for action using multiple linear regression. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This contribution examines the representation of ‘Heimat’ (homeland) in the novel Die Außerirdischen by Doron Rabinovici. The special configuration is characterized by a specific structural framework that is fundamentally changed by a meta-event, so that the dystopian character of the literary text is emphasized in the depiction of the precarious status of the social norms and values that are assumed to be stable. Various methods of staging memories, e.g. of the Shoah, are involved, which not only make the novel a medium of memory, but also significantly initiate the dystopian moment itself.
