Examining why people do not act sufficiently in the face of climate change, despite high knowledge about the problem and positive pro-environmental attitudes, is critical. Marlis Charlotte Wullenkord (University Koblenz-Landau) explored the relations of basic psychological needs and selfdetermination theory with pro environmental behaviour and defensive, self-protective strategies in the face of climate change (publication in "Umweltpsychologie" 2/2020).

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a devastating complication in patients treated with extracorporeal-membrane-oxygenation (ECMO) due to acute respiratory or cardiac issues. Despite its high relevance, neurosurgical evaluation and management has insufficiently been studied and evidence-guided decision making with respect to the type of the intracerebral hemorrhage, coagulation management and surgical intervention is very limited.

The journal Psychological Test and Assessment Modeling focusses on three areas: psychology-specific statistical methods & problems, general psychometrics, and psychological assessment in theory & practice. Therefore, researchers are encouraged to contribute to any topic of these areas. That is in particular in-depth research work on psychology-specific statistical methods and problems, in-depth research work on psychometrics, and in-depth research work on psychological assessment.

The pursuit of drugs is not only to be found among humans, but across different species. The desire for drugs is a fourth drive, alongside hunger, thirst, sex. What are motivations from the perspective of users and experts? Zsuzsa Kalo and colleagues try to give different answers, published in a new reader: "Why? Explanations for drug use and drug dealing in social drug research".

Heart or/and lung transplantation: Alloreactive immune response begins immediately after blood circulation is re-initiated and the contact with the donor occurs. The strongest immune response must be expected during this early phase. Antibody-mediated rejection remains an unsolved problem in thoracic transplantation. It typically does not respond to conventional therapies and there are no standardized treatment strategies. Immunsuppressants generally affect only cellular signal transfer, Dr. Rolf Bambauer and colleagues emphasize.

Many autoimmune diseases and intoxications are successfully treated with plasma exchange methods. The broad application greatly enriched therapeutic possibilities. Dr. Rolf Bambauer and colleagues give an overview of the therapeutic apheresis (TA) including all semi- and selective methods. The procedures, their functions, indications, clinical results, criticisms, and future aspects are discussed.
