Abstract
Klinikverlegungen von Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern aus der stationären Langzeitpflege in der letzten Lebensphase bedeuten in der Regel eine deutliche Verschlechterung der Lebensqualität. In diesem Beitrag werden Krankenhausroutinedaten zum Umfang der Verlegungen vorgestellt und mit Vergleichsdaten aus Pflegeeinrichtungen eines großen katholischen Trägers der Gesundheitshilfe (BBT-Gruppe) verglichen. Das Palliative-Care-Konzept der BBT-Gruppe wird erläutert.
This volume examines the impact of advances in genetics and assisted reproduction technologies on family law, human rights and the rights of the child, including the effects of international treaties on national legislation. It surveys the theoretical, ethical and legal discussions with regard to biotechnology and family law issues and the search for a balance between safeguarding respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms and the need to ensure freedom of research. However, biotechnology impinges not only on isolated individuals and their rights, but also on unborn children, the family as a network of living relationships and the basic structure of any society, as well as the foundation of parentage and kinship, social organization as a whole and, finally, mankind itself.
As the attention of the World turns to cloning, this book will contribute to the search for a balance between the rights and freedoms of born and yet to be born human beings and the quest for new technologies.

‘Granny Smith’ apples were subjected to a postharvest dip of 3000 ppm diphenylamine (DPA) for 30 s and placed in 0°C regular air storage for 3 or 6 months. Firmness and acidity of DPA-treated apples were greater than those of the control fruit after 6 months of storage plus 1 week at 20°C. After 3 months of storage, ethylene production in DPA-treated apples was lower than in control apples, while after 6 months the opposite was true. Respiration of DPA-treated apples was lower than that of control fruit after both storage periods. DPA prevented the development of superficial scald during storage and subsequent shelf life, while untreated apples developed severe scald. The concentration of α-farnesene in apple cuticles was two to three times higher and the levels of conjugated trienes were four to seven times lower in DPA-treated apples than in control fruit. The activities of polyphenoloxidase (PPO), peroxidase, and lipoxygenase were lower in the peel of DPA-treated apples than in untreated fruit. Peel with scald had higher levels of PPO and lipoxygenase and lower levels of peroxidase than healthy tissue. Our results suggest that DPA prevents scald by its general antioxidant effect and not specifically by preventing the oxidation of α-farnesene. In addition, DPA appears to have some beneficial physiological effects on delaying senescence of stored ‘Granny Smith’ apples.
