The Foreigner’s Guide to German Universities
Figuring out the many new terms confronting international students at German-language universities can be difficult. Even if the degree program is in English, most administrative work has to be done in German, and the bureaucratic university jargon is a language in and of itself. This guide aims to help international students and researchers understand the structures and organization of German universities by providing in-depth descriptions of terms and their origins, allowing for easier integration into the host university and its culture.

Wissenschaftliche Analyse der Entgeltregulierung Deutscher Verkehrsflughäfen
Long description:
Die Frage eines effizienten Flughafenmanagement interessiert alle am Flugverkehr Beteiligten - also Fluglinien, Flughafenbetreiber, aber auch die Privatpersonen und Unternehmen als Nutzer des Flugverkehres. Jedoch steht in diesem Zusammenhang die betriebs- und volkswirtschaftlichen Analyse und Entscheidung zu den Nutzungsentgelten bei Flughäfen vor dem Problem einer angesichts regionaler Quasi-Monopole fehlenden Marktpreisbildung. Die Nutzungsentgelte sind daher im politisch-administrativen Raum zu definieren und stützen sich auf verschiedenste Ansätze aus dem Bereich des wissenschaftlichen Diskurses zu möglichen gerechtfertigten Entgelthöhen. Dieses Buch bereichert diese Diskussion um den Aspekt einer Untersuchung von quantifizierbaren Produktivitätsfortschritten (bzw. -rückschritten) deutscher Verkehrsflughäfen in den vergangenen 15 Jahren. Diese Analysedaten könnten potenziell in eine als ökonomisch und politisch sinnvoll erachtete Festlegung von Nutzungsentgelten an Flughäfen einfließen.

Awareness, use and perception of patient versions of clinical practice guidelines – a national cross-sectional survey among patients with a cancer diagnosis and healthcare providers
Background
To investigate awareness, use, and perceptions of the patient guidelines (PGs) of the German Guideline Program in Oncology (GGPO) and to explore general preferences regarding cancer information among patients and healthcare providers (HCPs).
Methods
Two cross-sectional surveys among patients with cancer (November 2020—May 2021) and among HCPs (April -June 2021) were set up as anonymised, self-administered, semi-structured online surveys, including open-ended questions. Data were analysed with descriptive statistics and qualitative thematic analysis. Patients were recruited from national self-help organisations and certified cancer centres located all over Germany. HCPs were recruited from cancer centres, scientific medical societies and guideline groups.
Results
Of 816 participating patients, 45% were aware of the GGPO-PGs, while 55% of the 455 participating HCPs were aware of them. Of those aware of the GGPO-PGs, 65% of patients and 86% of HCPs perceived them as helpful, while 95% in both groups saw them as comprehensive. Seventy-five percent of patients and 85% of HCPs were satisfied with the GGPO-PGs, 22%/13% were partially satisfied, and 3%/2% were rather/not at all satisfied. In addition to self-help organisations, physicians and hospitals were perceived as central in distributing the GGPO-PGs. More patients (78%) than HCPs (56%) stated a preference for detailed information, although the wish for concise information – e.g. decision aids – was concurrently expressed by the majority of all participants. Thematic analysis showed that up-to-dateness, trustworthiness, and supportive messaging are important properties for PGs.
Conclusions
HCPs found the GGPO-PGs helpful, but awareness was low, which suggests that dissemination should be improved. This is also true for patients; however, further research needs to be done to increase the helpfulness of PGs for patients. Oncological PGs seem to be needed in different formats according to patients’ situational needs. Theory-driven research should investigate how to best frame patient information in a supportive way.

Learning Forced Migration: Guidance for Prospective Jewish Refugees in Nazi Germany
How does one prepare for flight? Is it possible to plan for such a disruptive event? This article explores a unique publication project established precisely for that purpose: migration manuals published by a German-Jewish organization to support the masses of Jews fleeing Nazi persecution in the 1930s. These manuals consolidated elaborate information from all over the world to prepare Jews for impending displacement. They encompassed not only essential details but also impressions, recommendations, and complaints. The manuals’ editors assembled reports from individuals already settled in refuge, generating a collaborative self-help effort on a global scale. Analyzing their content, this article shows that the process of guiding readers into forced migration extended in this case beyond technical migration procedures to include knowledge transfer about the politics of race, class, and gender, reflecting how German-Jewish refugees studied and situated themselves within these categories.
