Nanobiotechnology is still a developing field. The results and promises of this technology are not only of scientific and economic importance, they also raise grave ethical, legal, and social questions. In this context, the so called "Precautionary Principle" or "Vorsorgeprinzip" is of high relevance. What does it mean to "proceed with caution" in the field of nanobiotechnology? How can the principle be applied and specified? Is it a suitable tool for the protection against potentially dangerous effects on the environment and human health? What is the status of the Precautionary Principle in international agreements and national legislation? "Proceed with Caution?" examines the questions that surround the Precautionary Principle in nanobiotechnology. (Series: Munster Studies on Bioethics / Munsteraner Bioethik-Studien - Vol. 12)

The ageing, financial and labour market challenges facing the old age pension systems of the member states of the European Union are well known. Those who cast doubt on the ability of the present system of pension provision - at least to the extent that it is pay-as-you-go financed - to cope with the problems posed by these challenges are getting more vociferous. Increasingly there are calls for pay-as-you-go systems to be cut back and for funded systems to be expanded. This book contests the view that funding is the answer. It shows how adaptable the largely pay-as-you-go old age pension systems in the European Union are. Actuaries, economists, lawyers, political scientists, pension adviser...
Seit der Entstehung moderner Versicherung und Sozialversicherung stehen Versicherungsbegriff und Äquivalenz in der Diskussion. Astrid Wallrabenstein zeichnet diese Debatten nach, legt somit ungelöste Fragestellungen offen und beantwortet sie auf dem Stand heutiger verwaltungs- und verfassungsrechtlicher Reflexion. Zum einen geht es um Organisation und Kontrolle von Versicherung, die sich als Frage staatlicher Gewährleistungsverantwortung und daraus resultierender Regulierung bearbeiten lässt, wie die Autorin am Beispiel der Krankenversicherung aufzeigt. Zum anderen verlangt die Umverteilung innerhalb solcher 'sozialer' Versicherungen nach Legitimation. Sie gelingt mit einem individualistischen Grundrechtsansatz, der für jede Umverteilung eine Rechtfertigung fordert, die aus den Gemeinwohlzielen der regulierten Versicherung geschöpft werden kann.
It is common practice for patients in a hospital to be treated by the on-duty physician. If patients want to be treated by a certain physician, then they are subject to additional charges. This is referred to as ‘chief physician treatment’ because it is often chief physicians who are selected to carry out treatment. Commonly, chief physicians are considered to be particularly experienced and competent. But even if a chief physician treatment is contractually agreed with the patient, in many cases it is not the chief physicians who provide the individual treatment services. Sometimes they do not even participate in the treatment at all but nevertheless all the services are billed as chief physician treatment. Whether and the extent to which the law allows this kind of practice, is the subject of this dissertation.
