Das Regionale Handlungskonzept (RHK) ist die Arbeitsgrundlage des Grünen Ringes Leipzig, einer Gemeinschaft der Kommunen Belgershain, Böhlen, Borsdorf, Brandis, Großpösna, Leipzig, Markkleeberg, Markranstädt, Rackwitz, Schkeuditz, Taucha, Zwenkau und Pegau sowie der Landkreise Leipzig und Nordsachsen. Mit dem Regionalen Handlungskonzept 2014 wird die Handlungsgrundlage des Grünen Ringes Leipzig seit seiner Gründung im Jahr 1996 zum zweiten Mal fortgeschrieben. Seit den 1990’er Jahren hat sich in der Region viel getan. Die Sanierung der Bergbaufolgelandschaft ist zwar noch lange nicht abgeschlossen, wird inzwischen jedoch von neuen Themen überlagert. Wichtige Zukunftsthemen sind die Bewältigung des demografischen und wirtschaftlichen Wandels, Klimaschutz und Klimaanpassung bei gleichzeitiger Förderung von Biodiversität, Attraktivität und Erlebbarkeit der Landschaft sowie intakter und gesunder Umwelt. Mit dem Regionalen Handlungskonzept 2014 soll und kann der Grüne Ring Leipzig seiner Rolle als interkommunaler, überregionaler und interdisziplinärer Ideengeber und Koordinator auch zukünftig gerecht werden. Das Regionale Handlungskonzept (RHK) mit detailierten Kartendarstellungen steht unter www.gruenerring-leipzig.de bereit.

Background: Demographic changes increase the financing needs of all social services. This change also generates new and complex demands on the medical staff. Accordingly, medical professionals in middle management positions hold a characteristic sandwich position between top management and the operational core. This sandwich position often constitutes new challenges. In the industrial field, the growing importance of the middle management for the company’s success has already been recognized. Accordingly, the growing demand on economy urges an analysis for the medical field. Discussion: While there are nearly no differences in the nature of the tasks of medical middle manager in the areas of strategy, role function, performance pressure and qualifications compared to those tasks of the industrial sector, there are basic differences as well. Especially the character of “independence” of the medical profession and its ethical values justifies these differences. Consequently, qualification of medical professionals may not be solely based on medical academic career. It is also based on the personal ability or potential to lead and to manage. Summary: Above all, the character of “independence” of the medical profession and its ethical values justifies medical action that is based on the patient’s well-being and not exclusively on economic outcomes. In the future, medical middle managers are supposed to achieve an optimized balance between a patient-centered medicine and economic measures. It will be a basic requirement that middle managers accept their position and the resultant tasks putting themselves in a more active position. Because of that, middle managers can become “value-added bridge-builders”.

For the second time, the Data Science Challenge took place as part of the 18th symposium “Database Systems for Business, Technology and Web” (BTW) of the Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI). The Challenge was organized by the University of Rostock and sponsored by IBM and SAP. This year, the integration, analysis and visualization around the topic of particulate matter pollution was the focus of the challenge. After a preselection round, the accepted participants had one month to adapt their developed approach to a substantiated problem, the real challenge. The final presentation took place at BTW 2019 in front of the prize jury and the attending audience. In this article, we give a brief overview of the schedule and the organization of the Data Science Challenge. In addition, the problem to be solved and its solution will be presented by the participants.

Seit dem 1. Januar 2015 ist die Bemessungsgrundlage für die Erfüllung der Biokraftstoffquote nach BImSchG (§ 37) vom Energiegehalt der Kraftstoffe auf eine Verpflichtung zur Treibhausgas (THG)-Minderung umgestellt. Diese Maßnahme soll einen wirksamen und quantifizierbaren Beitrag zur Verringerung der Treibhausgasemissionen des Verkehrssektors leisten. Konsequenterweise haben die Biokraftstoffe die besten Marktchancen, die als Ergebnis der Nachhaltigkeitszertifizierung nach der Biokraftstoff-Nachhaltigkeitsverordnung (Biokraft-NachV) die beste THG-Bilanz ausweisen. Die Treibhausgasminderungseffizienz wird damit – in einem globalisierten Biomasserohstoff- und Biokraftstoffmarkt - neben dem Preis für die gesamte Warenkette zum wesentlichen Wettbewerbsfaktor. Ab 2015 ist zu erwarten, dass die Verwendung der so genannten Standardwerte aus dem Anhang der Biokraft-NachV stark abnimmt und vorwiegend individuell berechnete THG-Bilanzen im Rahmen der Zertifizierung erstellt werden.
