• The Floating Water Bridge Under Strong Electric Potential

Fuchs and collaborators [1, 2] showed that when a high voltage is applied between two electrodes, immersed in two beakers containing twice distilled water, a water bridge between the two containers is formed. We observed that a copper ions flow can pass through the bridge if the negative electrode is a copper electrode. The direction of the flux is not only depending on the direction of the applied electrostatic field but on the relative electronegativity of the electrodes too. The fact seems to suggest new perspectives in understanding the structure of water and the mechanisms concerning the arising of ions fluxes in living matter.

• Commercializing German Hospital Care? Effects of New Public Management and Managed Care Under Neoliberal Conditions

Market-led reform strategies around the world have given rise to fears of a progressive commercialization of hospital care. The aim of this article is to suggest an analytical framework that might explain the ubiquitous market-led reform strategies and to scrutinize widespread claim that commercialization processes impacts negatively on quality and equality of access. In comparing an ideal type model of commercialized health care with institutional and organizational change the article provides an assessment of commercialization processes in German hospital care. Although there is a newly evolving market-led governance structure in German hospital care commercialization processes have, however, been restricted. While there are strong signs that on a regulatory level the German hospital ...

• Mitochondrial Dysfunction

Cell-mediated immunity (CMI) response of healthy humans and cancer (Ca) patients to specific tumor antigen and nonspecific (LDV - lactate dehydrogenase virus) antigen, and of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and schizophrenia (Sch) patients to nonspecific antigen was investigated. Large differences of CMI response of healthy humans in comparison with Ca, AMI, Sch patients were found. CMI response to antigens displays transferred information about cells under immune surveillance. LDV disturbs the oxidative energy production system. We assume that CMI response to LDV antigen monitors pathological states of mitochondrial energy production which results in disturbances of electromagnetic activity of living cells.

• Wertorientierte Personalarbeit Zwischen Mythos Und Mikropolitik**

Under the influence of shareholder value philosophy and under pressure to justify themselves, human resource management professionals are searching for concepts to measure the effects of their decisions on shareholder value. However, the value-based performance measurement of human resource management practices faces considerable methodical problems. From an organizational theory perspective, this paper analyzes the reasons for the spread of these concepts despite remaining methodological objections. Thereby, the underlying perspective of organizational theory combines the analysis of rationalized myths with the examination of the interests of dominant actors and, for the purpose of this combination, draws on the idea of the duality of structure. Upon this theoretical background, the su...

• Strategy Techniques for the Times of High Uncertainty*

This paper sets out to propose the techniques that enable corporations to develop and to implement robust strategies under conditions of severe uncertainty. Through the correction of the traditional definition of stakeholders I found the general algorithm for achieving robustness in corporate strategies. This algorithm includes: (1) the clear definition of a limited set of the types of stakeholders, (2) the simplification of the sets of stakeholders' claims and discovery of intrinsic benefits common for all stakeholders of a particular type, (3) defining the space of acceptance of corporate performance for each type of stakeholders, (4) finding a non-empty intersection of such spaces for all types of stakeholders. The use of these techniques is illustrated by the new strategy of LUKOIL ...
