Acceptance and impact of Nirsevimab and the RSVpreF vaccine following implementation in Austria
Background Since summer 2024, passive immunization with nirsevimab (Beyfortus ® ) has been recommended for all infants in Austria to prevent severe respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. Maternal vaccination with RSVpreF (Abrysvo ® ), which provides transplacental protection, became available in autumn 2023. The expected public health benefits of these preventive strategies depend largely on widespread acceptance; however, real-world data f…
Comparisons in Global Security Politics
Available open access digitally under CC-BY-NC-ND licence. Comparative practices are integral to global security politics. The balance of power politics, status competitions and global security governance would not be possible without them. Yet, they are rarely treated as the main object of study. Exploring the varied uses of comparisons, this book addresses three key questions: • How is comparative knowledge produced? • How does it become politi…

Mental health indicators for children and adolescents in OECD countries
Background: This scoping review is a further step to build up the Mental Health Surveillance System for Germany. It summarizes and analyzes indicators used or described in Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries for public mental health monitoring in children and adolescents aged 0-18 years. Methods: We searched PubMed-MEDLINE, PsycINFO, Cochrane Databases, and Google Scholar from 2000 to September 2022. The search…
The role of traditional ecological knowledge, given the transformation of pastoralism in Central and Eastern Mongolia
Mongolian nomadic herders traditionally pass on ecological knowledge intergenerationally, mainly within families. However, little is known about how current societal transformation processes may impact the application and transfer of traditional ecological knowledge (TEK) amongst herders. Combining quantitative household survey data with qualitative interviews, we show that TEK is still widely applied amongst herders. Our data show that household…
Capitalising on virtue
This article explores the temporality and manipulability of status symbols. The competition over status has started to move past traditional markers such as economic wealth and military strength, and new status symbols have emerged that may become attainable even for states without such traditional forms of capital. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu’s work, we develop a discursive approach to status symbols that distinguishes three phases of their life …
Narratives, Knowledge Objects, and the Making of Great Power Competition
What makes great power relations more (or less) competitive? One key argument in International Relations (IR) is that interpretations matter and shape how competitive great power relations are. This article seeks to further develop this argument. Drawing on objectual IR and the sociology of expectations, it proposes a constructivist framework that unpacks two crucial, yet surprisingly little studied aspects of the making of great power competitio…

The Historicity of International Politics
The past is constantly present, not least in the study of imperialism and imperial forms of power in international politics. This volume shows how historical trajectories have shaped international affairs covering a wide range of imperial and (post-) colonial settings in international politics, substantiating the claim that imperial and colonial legacies - and how they have transformed over time - are foundational to the historicity of internatio…

Satellites and the Changing Politics of Transparency in World Politics
This article explores the degree to which commercial satellite imagery has empowered non-state actors in the politics of transparency in world politics. This question has received renewed attention in the wake of the disclosure of China’s new missile silos in 2021 as well as Russia’s war against Ukraine since 2022. The article contributes to research on this question by teasing out the competition over authority undergirding the politics of trans…
Publics in Global Politics
In IR and beyond, there is considerable debate about the ways global governance, the transnationalisation of publics, and changes in communication technologies have affected the interplay between publics and global politics. This debate is characterised by disagreements about how to conceptualise publics in the global realm—and whether or not they exist in the first place. We seek to contribute to this debate by disentangling the various meanings…
Cross-cultural, transnational or interdisciplinary? Eric Wittkower's psychosomatic medicine and transcultural psychiatry in historical context
This article traces the career, scientific achievements, and emigration of the Berlin-born physician, psychoanalyst, and psychosomatic researcher Eric Wittkower. Trained in Berlin and practicing internal medicine, he became persecuted by the Nazi regime and, after fleeing Germany via Switzerland, continued his professional career in the United Kingdom, where he turned to psychosomatic medicine and worked in the service of the British Army during …
Handbuch psychoanalytischer Grundbegriffe
Dieses Handbuch, verfasst von rund 140 Wissenschaftlern, erläutert nach einem einheitlichen Schema die grundlegenden Begriffe der Psychoanalyse. Neben ihrer Definition, ihrer klassischen Auffassung und ihrem ideengeschichtlichen Hintergrund wird die Weiterentwicklung der klassischen Psychoanalyse in den einzelnen Schulrichtungen detailliert beschrieben. Zugleich knüpft das Handbuch an den interdisziplinären Diskurs an, indem es in einen Dialog mi…
Black carbon and particulate matter mass concentrations in the Metropolitan District of Caracas, Venezuela
Atmospheric aerosols play an important role in atmospheric processes and human health. Characterizing atmospheric aerosols and identifying their sources in large cities is relevant to propose site-specific air pollution mitigation strategies. In this study, we measured the mass concentration of atmospheric aerosols with an aerodynamic diameter smaller than 2.5 μm (PM2.5) in the city of Caracas (urban) and in a tropical montane cloud forest (subur…
Cultural Evolution of Precise and Agreed‐Upon Semantic Conventions in a Multiplayer Gaming App
The amount of information conveyed by linguistic conventions depends on their precision, yet the codes that humans and other animals use to communicate are quite ambiguous: they may map several vague meanings to the same symbol. How does semantic precision evolve, and what are the constraints that limit it? We address this question using a multiplayer gaming app, where individuals communicate with one another in a scaled-up referential game. Here…
Internal Ileal Diversion as Treatment for Progressive Familial Intrahepatic Cholestasis Type 1-Associated Graft Inflammation and Steatosis after Liver Transplantation

The Impact of Foehn Wind on Mental Distress among Patients in a Swiss Psychiatric Hospital
Psychiatric patients are particularly vulnerable to strong weather stimuli, such as foehn, a hot wind that occurs in the alps. However, there is a dearth of research regarding its impact on mental health. This study investigated the impact of foehn wind among patients of a psychiatric hospital located in a foehn area in the Swiss Alps. Analysis was based on anonymized datasets obtained from routine records on admission and discharge, including th…
Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis in the general population in Germany – a triangulation of data from two population-based health surveys and a laboratory sentinel system
Chlamydia seems to mainly affect adolescents and young adults in Germany, with similar overall prevalence in men and women, but with slightly different age distributions. Women at highest risk of chlamydia are covered by the current screening program but given the on-going discussions in high-income countries on cost-effectiveness and benefit-to-harm ratio of these programs, the program-aim needs reconsideration
Practices of comparison and the making of international orders
Self-Binding via Benchmarking
How do states use benchmarks to organise their collective action? Although states increasingly rely on benchmarks to steer their collective action towards futures they deem desirable, research in IR has not yet unpacked the ways in which benchmarks alleviate – but also sometimes worsen – collective action problems. I argue that benchmarking enables states to tackle three interrelated problems: the coordination problem by the setting of common goa…
Causality and determination, powers and agency
Anscombe’s 1971 inaugural lecture at Cambridge, entitled ‘Causality and Determination’, has had a lasting influence on a remarkably broad range of philosophers and philosophical debates, touching on fundamental topics in philosophy of science, action theory, the free will debate, epistemology, philosophy of mind, and metaphysics. Especially where anti-reductionist or pluralist strands of philosophical thought are being seriously considered, one s…
Let’s build an Anscombe box”
Towards the end of her famous 1971 paper “Causality and Determination”, Elizabeth Anscombe discusses the controversial idea that “ ‘physical haphazard’ could be the only physical correlate of human freedom of action”. In order to illustrate how the high-level freedom of human action can go together with micro-indeterminism without creating a problem for micro-statistics, she provides the analogy of a glass box filled with minute coloured particle…
Rettungsringe und weitere aquanautische Gegenstände. Objekte erweitern die Historiografie der Psychiatrie
The unexpected discovery of two lifebelts in the storeroom of the Schussenried psychiatricclinic (ZfP SÃ1⁄4dwÃ1⁄4rttemberg, Bad Schussenried) was not only a big surprise, but also posed amystery to the medical historians and further staff of our Research Unit. The rural locationsurrounding the former Premonstratensian monastery consisting mainly of fields and forestshad, with the exception of a handful of small ponds, no large bodies of open wate…
Colour terms
Artificial language games give researchers the opportunity to investigate the emergence and evolution of semantic structure, i.e. the organisation of meaning spaces into discrete categories. A possible issue with this approach is that categories mightcarry over from participants’ native languages, a potential bias that has mostly been ignored. In a referential communication game, we compare colour terms from three different languages to those of …
The Role of the State in the Repression and Revival of Religiosity in Central Eastern Europe
The aim of this article is to present two different roles of the state affecting individuals' religiosity. First, we provide evidence for the effectiveness of socialist regimes in influencing citizens' opinions by comparing religious beliefs among several generations of Eastern Europeans. Second, the article explores whether the democratization process in Eastern Europe led to a revival of religiosity by applying two strands of reasoning from the…
Probability Theory and Causation
We provide a formally rigorous framework for integrating singular causation, as understood by Nuel Belnap's theory of causae causantes, and objective single case probabilities. The central notion is that of a causal probability space whose sample space consists of causal alternatives. Such a probability space is generally not isomorphic to a product space. We give a causally motivated statement of the Markov condition and an analysis of the conce…

Branching in the landscape of possibilities
The metaphor of a branching tree of future possibilities has a number of important philosophical and logical uses. In this paper we trace this metaphor through some of its uses and argue that the metaphor works the same way in physics as in philosophy. We then give an overview of formal systems for branching possibilities, viz., branching time and (briefly) branching space-times. In a next step we describe a number of different notions of possibi…

Institutional Reforms and the Politics of Inequality Reproduction
This contribution to the special issue explores how institutional reforms are shaped by and feed back into the politics of inequality reproduction. IR has recently begun to more closely study how hierarchies intersect. This article uses the analytical concept of “interlinkages” to grasp how international organisations couple intra-organisational patterns of unequal representation to extra-organisational social hierarchies. It empirically investig…
Global constitutionalism in historical perspective
This article raises the question of how the evolution of constitutional structures in international history can be conceptualized and narrated. This question is nurtured by the divergent historical accounts found in the literature on global constitutionalism and the historical-comparative literature on international societies. Although both literatures have so far largely ignored each other, they share a number of common conceptual problems and s…

La localidad referida es la comunidad de Q'eros, que tiene fama de ser una de las más tradicionales que existen en el área andina y que ha atraído el interés de numerosos antropólogos entre los cuales nos contamos también …
The variety of institutionalised inequalities
This article argues that the research on institutionalised inequalities pays too little attention to competing understandings of stratification and the variety of interlinkages between the patterns of stratification and the institutions of international society. Building on the English School and theories of stratification, it develops an analytical framework that conceptualises these ‘stratificatory interlinkages’ as a twofold decision: firstly …
An introduction to real possibilities, indeterminism, and free will
The papers collected in this Special Issue document the development of a novel, positive understanding of indeterminism grounded in real possibilities, and the interrelation of that development with the free will debate
Defining Determinism
The article puts forward a branching-style framework for the analysis of determinism and indeterminism of scientific theories, starting from the core idea that an indeterministic system is one whose present allows for more than one alternative possible future. We describe how a definition of determinism stated in terms of branching models supplements and improves current treatments of determinism of theories of physics. In these treatments, we id…
Les mathématiques comme outil ou comme révélateur

Walras et Pareto revendiquent tous deux la pertinence des mathématiques pour faire progresser la scie…
A Generalized Manifold Topology for Branching Space-Times
The logical theory of branching space-times, which provides a relativistic framework for studying objective indeterminism, remains mostly disconnected from discussions of space-time theories in philosophy of physics. Earman has criticized the branching approach and suggested “pruning some branches from branching space-time.” This article identifies the different—order-theoretic versus topological—perspective of both discussions as a reason for ce…

METHODS: In a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, and double-blind parallel group study, 184 outpatients with somatization disorder (ICD-10 F45.0), undifferentiated somatoform disorder (F45.1), and somatoform autonomic dysfunction (F45.3), but not major depression, received either 300 mg of SJW extract LI 160 twice daily or matching pla…
On Psychotic Transference and Countertransference
Following a brief discussion of the primary types of psychotic transferences, viewed from a theoretical position combining ego psychology with an object relations approach, the author presents detailed clinical material illustrating these transferences. The analyst's countertransference in work with such patients is also discussed in depth, including its use as a unique window into the patient's inner world
Medizinische Expertise - zionistische Visionen
In National Socialist Germany Jewish academicians and professional staff were initially deprived of their rights and marginalised, later they were chased down and murdered. With regard to those, who were able to escape the National Socialist realm of power, one can speak of a forced migration of academicians that reached a dimension which until now was unknown. A greater number of different academic as well as non-academic occupational groups hav…

Innere Armut
Die Kinderarmut in Deutschland nimmt zu. Neben der materiellen Not entsteht fast unbemerkt eine innere Notlage, die selbst Kinder und Jugendliche in materiellem Reichtum in Formen von Vernachlässigung, Verwahrlosung und Selbstüberlassung erleben können. Die innere Welt gerät aus den Fugen, wenn Mitgefühl und Zuwendung fehlen. Es kommt zu Überforderung, Orientierungslosigkeit und Haltlosigkeit. Thomas Müller zeigt die äußeren und inneren Zusammenh…
