Strategy and tactics are topics that have been increasingly on the political agenda and political science agenda for some time now. The book displayed here is not only intended to convey maxims of strategic and tactical behavior that can be helpful for the art of political advancement, but also for the successful exercise of political office and political survival. The authors refer to draw on the writings of some classics of the history of ideas who have dealt with political and military strategies. Some of their advice is practically timeless, others are at least worth discussing for democratic conditions which do not always happen here.
PURPOSE:The objective of this study was to evaluate the independent and added value of a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPX) to New York Heart Association (NYHA) functional analysis in patients with heart failure (HF) and ejection fraction (EF) <50%. METHODS:Patients (n = 613) with HF and EF < 50% underwent CPX and were followed for 28 ± 17 mo with respect to primary outcomes (death or heart transplantation). RESULTS:Mean patient age was 56 ± 12 yr, and 64% were male. Most patients were classified as NYHA class II (41%). The composite rate of primary outcomes was 12%; death occurred in 9%, and heart transplant in 4%. Independent predictors of primary outcomes were: EF (HR = 0.95: 95% CI, 0.92-0.98; P = .001) and NYHA (HR = 2.06: 95% CI, 1.54-2.75; P < .0001). When added to the model, peak oxygen uptake (V˙ O2peak ) was an independent predictor (HR = 0.90: 95% CI, 0.84-0.96; P = .001), as was the percentage of predicted V˙ O2peak (HR = 0.03: 95% CI, 0.007-0.147; P < .001), minute ventilation/carbon dioxide production slope (HR = 1.02: 95% CI, 1.01-1.04; P = .012), and CPX score (HR = 1.16: 95% CI, 1.06-1.27; P = .001). CONCLUSIONS:CPX variables were independent predictors of HF prognosis, even when controlled by NYHA functional class. Despite being independent predictors, the value added to NYHA classification was modest and lacked statistical significance.
Der Autor zeichnet in seinem Beitrag zunächst ideengeschichtliche Hintergründe nach und benennt Protagonisten, die den Weg zur Landschaftsverschönerung geebnet haben. Anschließend richtet er seinen Blick nach Sachsen auf die landschaftsgestaltenden Wirkkräfte von Angehörigen des Hauses Schönburg in ihren Herrschaften Waldenburg, Hartenstein und Wechselburg. Dort kamen Konzepte zum Tragen, die in ihrer Entstehungszeit, ihren ideellen Ausgangspunkten, der Intensität des Eingriffs in die Natur sowie in dem Grad des Ausgreifens in die Landschaft sehr unterschiedlich geartet sind. The author first traces the underlying intellectual history and names some of the protagonists who paved the way for landscape embellishment. He then turns his attention to Saxony and the landscape-shaping influence of members of the House of Schönburg in their estates of Waldenburg, Hartenstein and Wechselburg. There, concepts were realised that differed substantially in their time of origin, their fundamental ideas, the intensity of intervention in nature and the degree to which they extended into the landscape.
