Unbrauchbarkeit der Wohnung (undichte Gasleitungen) – Rügeobliegenheit

Die Undichtheit von Gasleitungen stellt keinen offenkundigen und schwerwiegenden Mangel dar, der bei der geringsten überprüfung leicht erkennbar gewesen w?re. Wenn der Mieter im Zuge umfangreicher und kostenaufwendiger Adaptierungsarbeiten entgegen der im Mietvertrag ausdrücklich erkl?rten ursprünglichen Einsch?tzung der Vertragsparteien die Undichtheit der Gasleitungen erkennt, dann entspricht es Treu und Glauben, den Vermieter über diesen Mangel zu informieren und ihm die Gelegenheit zur Sanierung zu geben.

Synthetic cannabinoids in "spice-like" herbal blends: First appearance of JWH-307 and recurrence of JWH-018 on the German market

Herbal smoking blends, available on the German market were analyzed and several known synthetic cannabinoids were identified (JWH-122 and JWH-018). In addition, we isolated a new active ingredient by silica gel column chromatography and elucidated the structure by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) methods. The compound was identified as JWH-307, a synthetic cannabinoid of the phenyl-pyrrole subclass with known in vitro binding affinities for cannabinoid receptors. To date, this is the first appearance of this subclass of cannabimimetics in such products. JWH-307 has been further characterized by gas chromatography accurate mass spectrometry (GC-HRMS), electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS), ultraviolet (UV) and infrared (IR) spectroscopy. JWH-018 was among the first compounds banned by many countries world-wide including Germany. The identification of JWH-018 was striking, since this is the first report where JWH-018 recurred on the German market thus violating existing laws. A generic method was established to quantify synthetic cannabinoids in herbal smoking blends. Quantification was achieved using an isotopically labeled standard (JWH-018-D(3)). JWH-018 was found at a level of 150mg/g while JWH-122 and JWH-307 occurred as a mixture at a total level of 232mg/g.     

Institutional Determinants of Legislative Turnover in the German State Parliaments: 1947–2012

More than 60 years of turnover data were collected to draw a unique picture of membership circulation in the German state parliaments between 1947 and 2012. The empirical study draws on new institutionalist theories in search of variables that might complement electoral volatility in explaining turnover patterns in sub-central Germany. Five institutional variables are tested using hierarchical models. From the substantial set of 196 elections, several robust conclusions can be drawn. The level of legislative turnover is affected by the length of the electoral term, professionalisation and institutionalisation of a legislature, and by changes in parliamentary size. By contrast, the small range of electoral system variation does not add anything to the explanation of variation in aggregate turnover rates at the German sub-central level.     

Previous judicial detection and paedophilic sexual interest partially predict psychological distress in a non-forensic sample of help-seeking men feeling inclined to sexually offend against children

Little is known about overall psychological distress in paedophiles who are not formally involved with the criminal justice system. Since knowledge in this context could help to optimise intervention efforts, this study aimed to examine the association between distress as measured with the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and preference- and offence-related variables in a sample of N?=?455 men self-reporting sexual interest in children, of whom 402 were diagnosed as paedophiles. Results showed that 59% reported clinically relevant levels of distress, with paedophiles being significantly more distressed than teleiophiles. A regression analysis revealed that a paedophilic preference and prior detection were relevant predictors for distress. However, past offending behaviour had no impact and the major part of variance could not be explained. The results suggest that paedophilia is associated with distress, but other factors influence whether a paedophilic man is distressed on a clinically significant level.     

Änderung der Miteigentumsanteile infolge neuer Nutzwertfestsetzung – Berechnung der Bagatellgrenze des § 10 Abs 3 WEG 2002

Nach dem Wortlaut des § 10 Abs 3 WEG 2002 idF WRN 2006 und den Erl?uterungen zur Regierungsvorlage, wonach die Batagellgrenze "mit zehn Prozent, bezogen auf jeden einzelnen Miteigentumsanteil, festgesetzt" wird, ist eindeutig klargestellt, dass das Ausma? der Anteilsver?nderung im Verh?ltnis zum betreffenden Anteil und nicht im Verh?ltnis zur Gesamtliegenschaft zu ermitteln ist.
