Psychological distress and psychiatric disorders in primary health care patients in East and West Germany 1 year after the fall of the Berlin Wall
1999
The reunification of Germany confronted citizens in East and West Germany with many changes in their lives. These changes may be considered as critical life events. Especially for those in East Germany, life circumstances drastically changed, and individuals were increasingly required to adopt and develop coping capabilities. In addition to new opportunities and freedom, there was threatening uncertainty about the future. Theories of life events and stress postulate that threat events have an impact on human well-being. It was expected that there would be an increased rate of psychiatric morbidity after unification, especially in the eastern part of Germany.An international study by the WHO…
Kultūrapmaiņas iespaids un “citādība” Vācijas pilsētu pirmajā koplīgumā starp Eizenhūtenštati un Zārluī no 1986 līdz šodienai
2018
Abstrakts: Šajā darbā izmantotā kvalitatīvā analīze apskata Vācijas pirmo veiksmīgi noslēgto starppilsētu sadraudzības līgumu starp Eisenhüttenstadt un Saarlouis pilsētām laika posmā no 1986. gada līdz šodienai. Esošie stereotipi un aizspriedumi, kas vēl joprojām eksistē starp bijušās Rietumvācijas un Austrumvācijas pilsētu iedzīvotājiem, pierāda, ka iepriekš valdošo režīmu atstātās sekas nav zudušas, kas apliecina šī vēsturiski nozīmīgā notikuma analīzes nepieciešamību un aktualitāti. Tēmas aktualitāti pierāda ne tikai esošie aizspriedumi, bet arī neatrisinātie konflikti divu valstu starpā, piemēram Ķīnā un Taivānā vai Indijā un Pakistānā. Darbā apskatītā tēma ilustrē kā valsts apvienošana…

Determination of Platinum-Group Elements (PGE) from catalytic converters in soil by means of docimasy and INAA.
1996
The nickelsulfide fire assay (docimasy) for the enrichment of platinum-group elements (PGEs) has been modified for the use with small samples and combined with instrumental neutron-activation analysis (INAA). This procedure has been applied to the determination of PGEs exhausted from catalytic converters and deposited in soil near the Wiesbadener Kreuz (highway A3, Frankfurt-Koln). Our results show a considerable enhancement of the Pt (up to 330 ng/g), Pd (6.6 ng/g) and Rh (7.5 ng/g) contents close to the highway.
Studies of Components of the Thylakoid Membrane of Undamaged and Damaged Spruce Trees at Different Mountain Sites
1993
During a five-year period, components of the thylakoid membrane in needles of the second generation of undamaged and damaged trees of Norway spruce were studied at three different mountain sites in West Germany. Visible signs of damage at these sites are a yellowing of the light-exposed sides of the needles as well as the loss of needles. The goal of this study was to determine damage-induced alterations in composition and physiological reactions of the thylakoid membranes in spruce needles. In order to meet this purpose, contents of chlorophyll a and b, electron transport rate of photosystem II, contents of the D 1 protein, cytochrome f, as well as P-700 were measured. The chlorophyll cont…
Study of polychlorinated biphenyls in street dust by supercritical fluid extraction-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
1996
Street dust samples have been collected from highways, urban streets, a gasoline station, a pedestrian tunnel, and railway stations in some German cities. Nine polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs from tri- to heptachlorobiphenyls) were quantitatively extracted by supercritical fluid extraction with CO2 at 200 bar and 40°C and analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The highest PCB loads (sum of the nine studied PCBs) of ca. 1 to 4 μg/g have been found in the samples from motorway A60 near Mainz, while in almost all other samples PCBs could be detected at only ca. 0.1 to 1 μg/g. At three sampling sites, a winter maximum of the PCB concentrations has been found.
The importance of policy orientation and environment on physical activity participation--a comparative analysis between Eastern Germany, Western Germ…
2002
SUMMARY Environmental and policy interventions are seen as boosting physical activity because they are designed to influence large groups. However, they have not been much researched and the evidence on their role is still quite limited. The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in and relationships between policy orientation, the objective and perceived physical environment, and physical activity between Finland, Eastern Germany and Western Germany. The data are taken from a public telephone survey carried out as part of the international MAREPS project (Methodology for the Analysis of Rationality and Effectiveness of Prevention and Health Promotion Strategies; Eastern Germa…
