Behandlungsbedürftigkeit, Krankenhilfe, Voraussetzungen

Weder § 8 Abs 2 Z 3 und Z 4 O? SHG 1998 noch die Materialien zu § 8 O? SHG 1998 stützen die Annahme, dass sich eine Person, bei der sich Behandlungsbedürftigkeit wegen Krankheit herausstellt, bereits zuvor um andere Arten der Sozialhilfe bemüht haben musste, um einen Anspruch auf Krankenhilfe zu erlangen.     

Does knowledge diffusion between university and industry increase innovativeness?

This paper presents an econometric analysis of the impact of collaboration with universities on the innovative output of firms. We also illustrate the differences that emerge from robustness checks, based on different matching estimators and samples. Our findings strongly suggest that university collaboration has a positive influence on the innovative activity of large manufacturing firms. In contrast, there appears to be an insignificant association between university collaboration and the average service firm’s innovation output.     

Bureaucratic Resistance to International Intelligence Cooperation – The Case of Europol

Abstract

This article analyses the gap between government ambitions and actual outcomes in the case of European counter terrorism intelligence cooperation. Specifically, it investigates why Europol has not managed to live up to its tasks despite outspoken government support. Drawing on rational choice institutionalism, the study suggests why bureaucrats might be motivated to resist calls for international cooperation. By examining the process by which Europol has developed as an actor in the counter terrorism field, this article shows how development in the field of intelligence cooperation is not exclusively the reflection of government preferences. It concludes by suggesting that scholars could gain greater insight from a less state centric approach to the study of intelligence. In addition, the article suggests that policy makers cultivate a greater familiarity with bureaucratic factors and that they continually work with those factors in mind.     

Zum grundbücherlichen Richtigkeitsgebot und seiner amtswegigen Verwirklichung (§ 28 LiegTeilG) (1. Teil)

Die übereinstimmung zwischen Grundbuch, Kataster und Realit?t liegt im Schnittpunkt zwischen Gesetzgebung und ?konomie im ?ffentlichen Interesse. Im LiegTeilG, sohin an unvermuteter Stelle, ist ein Verfahren zur amtswegigen Verwirklichung dieses Kongruenzprinzips normiert, dessen prozessuales Instrumentarium durch auch jüngste Gesetzgebungsakte direkt und indirekt deformiert worden ist. Diese Abhandlung untersucht, ob die ursprünglich verfolgten gesetzgeberischen Intentionen zur Herstellung der Grundbuchsordnung auf der geltenden Rechtslage im judikativen Weg gem §§ 6 f ABGB revitalisierbar sind oder ob es zu deren Reanimation eines legistischen Eingriffs bedarf.     

Asymmetric federalism: Are federated micro-regions viable?

Federated micro-regions are constituent units of federations having a maximum population of 300,000. Many are ethnically based. Although not larger than cities, these 55 territories are, constitutionally speaking, equal entities of their federations and have in some instances even shaped their own foreign policy. This article provides an analysis of their ability to withstand structural constraints and take advantage of the opportunities which smallness offers. In the first part, it discusses problems related to economies of scale and identifies a trend to establish new rather than merge existing federated micro-regions. The second part highlights external relations activities of some federated micro-regions and explains their partly pragmatic, partly political motivation.
