As noted by Roman poet Virgil already more than 2,000 years ago: “The greatest wealth is health.”. Without health, there is no happiness, no peace, and no success according to the Reflections Recovery Center from Arizona, United States (USA, U.S.). The goal of the Healthy People 2020-project (HP2020), which is led by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), was to “promote quality life, healthy development, and health behaviors across all life stages” among the U.S. population. HP2020 measures progress by using so-called Leading Health Indicators (LHI), reliable data sources, baseline values as well as targets for LHI-individual improvements for every measurable objective to be achieved by 2020 and each following decade. In the further course, these values were compared to student populations from the U.S., Germany, and Poland. The goal of this master's thesis was to obtain more data on international health, particularly among student populations. For the statistical analysis, data were obtained from an online survey that was distributed to students in at least one university in each of the three countries. In total, data from 380 students were analyzed in terms of HP2020 goal attainment. To determine if statistically significant differences were present, the z-test was used. The biggest differences emerged on the following topics: access to healthcare, environmental quality, obesity as well as reproductive and sexual health.
During the European debt crisis, German and Greek media frequently reported on the political conflict between the two countries. This article examines to what extent the media coverage in one country about the other is considered by German and Greek citizens to be hostile (‘hostile media perception’) and influential (‘influence of presumed influence’). Data from a comparative survey in Germany (n = 492) and Greece (n = 484) show that news coverage by foreign media on the European debt crisis is perceived by respondents as hostile against their own country and as influential. Moreover, both media-related perceptions are linked with intensified perceptions of hostility, such as assumptions that an individual’s country is not respected in the other country or that the other country’s citizens are demanding that the individual’s country be punished. Based on these results, it is discussed whether media-related perceptions can have a conflict-intensifying effect in international crises.
Im Zuge des Zweiten Weltkrieges wurden zahlreiche sowjetische Museen, Archive und Bibliotheken ausgeraubt oder zerstört. Als Antwort auf diese Schäden wurden im Februar 1945 seitens der Sowjetregierung die sog. Trophäenbrigaden gegründet, die mit der Ausfuhr der deutschen Kulturgüter als Kompensation für entstandene Verluste beauftragt waren. Entgegen der Vereinbarungen der Potsdamer Konferenz, die solche Konfiskationen nur in Ausnahmsfällen erlaubte, organisierten die sowjetischen Besatzer flächendeckende Beschlagnahmungen und Abtransporte der deutschen Kulturgüter als Kriegsbeute in die UdSSR. Die vorliegende Arbeit untersucht den sowjetischen Kunst- und Kulturraub im besetzten Deutschland. Eine besondere Aufmerksamkeit wird den Konfiskationen der deutschen Bücher und deren Verteilung in die sowjetischen Bibliotheken gewidmet. Am Ende der Arbeit soll ein Überblick über die komplizierten deutsch-russischen Restitutionsverhandlungen, die bis heute zu keinem Ergebnis geführt haben, gegeben werden.
