Since the early 1970s, delivery of care to people who are consid- ered to suffer from chronic psychotic disturbances has been at a crossroads. In 1983, the European Regional Office of the World Health Organization (WHO), within its health economics pro- gramme, encouraged international research on the economic impli- cations of alternative strategies of care for those patients. Origi- nally, it was intended to compare at least two or more strategies of managing chronic psychotics, especially strategies which place dif- ferent emphasis on inpatient and outpatient care. Instead of designing a fully coordinated, multinational, multi- centre study based on a mutually agreed on study protocol, we de- cided on the following: - To meet with researchers interested in the social, psychological, and economic features of health care for chronic psychotic pa- tients - To stimulate ongoing research projects or to initiate new ones - To discuss quite different approaches from international and - terdisciplinary points of view - To review and revise the diversified end products of such an open research process For this purpose, we outlined a broad range of topics which could be included in the study: - Methodological problems of evaluation in this field - Social and economic implications of psychiatric deinstitutiona- zation - Scenarios of various degrees of deinstitutionalization - Assessment of (hospital) costs of the treatment for chronic sc- zophrenic and other psychotic patients - Public and private costs of the main treatment strategies - Time-expenditure analyses of chronic psychotic patients

It is not easy to summarize the studies that have dealt with the health effects of un employment on the unemployed. The main problem impeding a comparison of their results is the diversity of theoretical constructs associated with physical and especially mental health and, above all, an apparently inexhaustible variety of op erationalizations of these constructs. It is significant that the six conclusions drawn from the present state of unemployment research by the organizers of a re cent conference on the individual and social consequences of unemployment in cluded the following request: "In view of the relevant constructs, it seems to be most urgent to find or to develop operationalizations which can be agreed upon, in order to guarantee comparability of research results" (Kieselbach and Wacker 1985, p. XX; my translation). Nevertheless, the results of these studies allow the statement that a negative in fluence of job loss on psychological well-being can be regarded as a validated finding. The influence on physical health, however, must be assessed very careful ly and in a differentiated manner. The few investigations dealing with this ques tion arrive at different conclusions; moreover, possibly relieving effects of unem ployment on health come into sight."

In Heft 3 der "Forschungsergebnisse" wurde in einer besonderen Abhandlung der wirtschaft liche Wert von Ersparnissen am Flugzeugleergewicht in betriebs- und verkehrstechnischer Hinsicht von Dr. Wertenson untersucht. Schon damals gesellte sich zu dieser Untersuchung gleich sam als Gegenfrage das Problem des Einflusses der Geschwindigkeitssteigerung auf die Wirtsch aftl i ch keit im L uftverkeh r, denn jede Geschwindigkeitssteigerung verlangt im all gemeinen hOhere Leistungen der Triebkraftanlage und in der Regel groBere Festigkeit der Fahrzeug konstruktion. Beides filhrt dann in der Regel zu einer ErhOhung des Flugzeugleergewichts bei gleich bleibender NutzladeHihigkeit des Flugzeuges und zur Steigerung der Selbstkosten. Der Losung dieses Problems konnte jedoch seinerzeit noch nicht nahergetreten werden, da die technisch in der Konstruktion der Flugzeuge und Motore beruhenden Voraussetzungen filr eine wesentliche Steigerung der Fluggeschwindigkeit noch nicht gegeben waren. Die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika brachten erst im jahre 1930 das erste Flugzeug, das als Schnellverkehrsflugzeug an gesprochen werden konnte, in Gestalt der "Lockheed Vega" heraus. Seitdem ist die Entwicklung in der Konstruktion und in dem betrieblichen Einsatz von Schnellflugzeugen in starkem MaBe fort geschritten. Umfassende praktische Betriebserfahrungen in den Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika und neuerdings in Europa gestatten heute eine verkehrswissenschaftliche Untersuchung ilber die technischen, betrieblichen und wirtschaftlichen Grundlagen des Schnell verkehrs in der Luft."
