With the present report the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities wants to draw attention to the results of one of its interdisciplinary projects, which are published elsewhere in more detail. The authors believe that their particular approach to the subject of "waste energy recovery", in combination with an interdisciplinary perspective, suggests a new way of discussing energy problems that has the potential to lead to qualified statements...
Der Energiebedarf der Menschen wird heute überwiegend durch die Verbrennung von Kohle, Erdöl und Erdgas gedeckt. Das Bewusstsein der Endlichkeit dieser wertvollen Rohstoffe hat die Energiefrage zu einem zentralen Begriff für alle Überlegungen gemacht, die auf die langfristige Zukunft des Lebens auf unserem Planeten gerichtet sind. Vor 150 Jahren haben zuerst Physiologen die Bedeutung der Energie für den Stoffwechsel von Lebewesen erkannt, Physiker bestimmten den für die Umwelt kritischen Energiehaushalt der Erde. Sie stellten Überlegungen dazu an, welche Auswirkung die Ausbeutung der fossilen Energievorräte hat und welche Aufgaben von der Menschheit gelöst werden müssen, wenn ihre Zukunft gesichert werden soll. Schon heute erkennbare Aufgaben für Wissenschaft, Technik und Wirtschaft werden genannt, sie müssen von der Energiepolitik gefördert werden.
Adequate Health Care – Appropriate Care. The understanding of health is highly relevant in ethical as well as health policy terms because it is linked to entitlement to health services. In addition, conclusions can be drawn from what we consider to be appropriate health care to the current prevailing understanding of health and illness. The article describes the conceptual complexity of the normative concept of adequate health care and the opportunities and challenges of its effective operationalization.
Physician Health in the Workplace. Physicians are exposed to a variety of risks in their everyday work. There is an obvious risk, especially in view of the current pandemic, of contracting communicable diseases like COVID-19, HIV and Hepatitis C. The commercialization of healthcare and associated cost-saving measures – particularly in the field of human resources – lead to unhealthy workloads and, correspondingly, an increased risk of suffering from psychological disorders like burnout and depression. Scientific studies reveal a correlation between psychological stress and the quality of patient care. The health of medical personnel must be given high priority in the interest of both patients and those working in the healthcare system. This requires adequate funding with staffing that is appropriate to the patient and the task at hand, thus ensuring humane and high-quality patient care. In addition, physicians must be relieved of performing non-medical tasks, and their resilience must be strengthened through individual and operational measures.
Taming the European Leviathan: Health as Politics. A Research Project. This article outlines the research project „Taming the European Leviathan: The Legacy of Post-War Medicine and the Common Good“. It is funded by a Synergy Grant of the European Research Council and unites European researchers comparing health policies (from drug research to prevention) in West- and East-European countries, e.g., Bulgaria, Germany, France, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, and the United Kingdom. The common goal is to provide a different perspective on post-war Europe, a perspective that emphasizes commonalities rather than differences.
