Event (philosophy)

An event (from Old High German irougen, neuhochdeutsch eräugen = set before our eyes, show ) is the occurrence of an observable event; observable, because it is an event that occurs before our eyes in the original sense of the word, can be eräugt.

Event in insurance law

Event insurance law is the trigger that establishes the obligation of the insurer. Part of the term damage is the event triggering him; an injurious event triggers the event insured against. In the event it is randomly occurring, ie unforeseeable events lead their negative consequences to damage. Event is a sequence of events, as a result of which the injury is directly originated. Event is required by § 1 General Conditions of Insurance for Liability Insurance ( AHB), a sudden and violent course of events, which is not objectively foreseeable in its entirety. As a loss event within the meaning of § 5 No. 1 CSO, the lying before the occurrence of damage external or internal events is to understand from its beginning to the occurrence of loss is highly likely. According to § 7 ​​para 2 StVG the vehicle owner is not liable for an unavoidable event (force majeure). This is an incident that is not even to be avoided when the greatest care is taken. Thus, the traffic law term care goes far beyond that of § 276 BGB. Inevitable is an event that is " neither an error in the condition of the vehicle or on a failure of his employment based " (§ 7 paragraph 2 sentence 1 Road Traffic Act ). May also be inevitable due to the behavior of the injured person or animal. Accident is an acting externally on humans, damaged, sudden event. The event is a negative process, positive events such as the " happy event " ( as a paraphrase of an impending birth ) are not covered under insurance law thereof forever.

Event in the ontology

In modern philosophy is mostly spoken in two different contexts of "event":

• For the first in the context of continental philosophy at existentialists and phenomenologists, including, for example, Martin Heidegger and various French philosophers, as well as in post-structuralism. In this use, says event, etc. eventness a singular and instantaneous act, which is constitutive of being, action, or moral cognition. In Alain Badiou's work event is the key concept. He is the unpredictable, unforeseeable, that which insert is in no way an existing order or can be derived from it. There is no element of the set of elements that make up a given situation, it is not nameable, not presentable, nothing Possible. It is a singularity, which changes the situation and all subsequent principally in its importance.
• In a second context, the systematic ontology, how it is operated mainly in connection to the classic analytic ontology, so that an object is meant not as an object but as a process behaves. Events in this sense, the term usually does not extend as instantaneous, but as time.

Some theorists is represented here is that basically the entire ontology should not based on objects but events, for example, by arguing that a mutual reducibility is, but you need events anyway for a functional ontology and therefore does not require objects or, by arguing that this ontological problems of the qualitative change in object persistence are better to deal with. A classic representative of such Ereignisontologie example, Alfred North Whitehead, a younger classic Donald Davidson.

The philosophical conception of events as a separate variety of entities in the world, especially after Donald Davidson has taken a strong influence on linguistic representations of the semantics of verbs, and led to the emergence of the so-called event semantics.

Event in the system theory

In the sociological systems theory called the event a point in time, not Sustainable unit of difference between before / after in autopoietic systems. After the event, something else is possible than before. It is this difference gives the system elements despite the lack of durability of their operational connectivity over time. For example, there are words only at the time of speaking and are then passed immediately. Have sequentially spoken words a connectivity, they provide a set belonging together. The set can only occur when the individual events ( here: words) have no permanent existence.

Event in the theory of relativity

In the theory of relativity is a time and place designated by a fixed point of space-time as an event. The entire description of reality is based on these events - which favors Ereignisontologie for some performers.

Event in psychology

The event in psychology is the experience; that's registered in memory and from now on available events of a situation in which an individual lives. The storage of the event is subjective and thus in memory the basis for learning, on the other hand basically for human development. This development (see Developmental Psychology ) without experience (s ) (or events) is not feasible or possible. A human organism depends, to gain experience, especially in early childhood; otherwise he suffers ( existence threatening ) injuries (see René A. Spitz ).

Event in medicine

In medicine, the term event is used primarily in connection with an undesirable or adverse events as part of a treatment: one then often speaks of an adverse event (AE ). Often also found in the German literature the English equivalent " adverse event " or " AE ". Adverse events are classified according to the Common Toxicity Criteria ( CTC).

The concept of adverse event is defined differently in two areas of medicine, quality assurance and drug research:

• In quality assurance, a UE is a harmful action that is based more on the treatment because of the disease. It may be avoidable or unavoidable. The prevention and reduction of preventable adverse events ( VUE ) is a central component of improving patient safety. UEs in quality assurance can affect both patients and healthcare workers. A critical event is defined in the quality assurance in medicine as an event that could lead to an adverse event or increases the likelihood significantly.

• In drug research, all UEE while participating in a clinical trial, regardless of their possible causal relationship or the extent of their damages recorded. UEs are only recorded for subjects or patients. The recording period is not limited to the duration of the actual treatment; it also includes any preparation and Nachbeobachtungsperioden. The record shall contain, inter alia, a an assessment of the treating physician to the context of the treatment and for the expression of the UE. The statutory requirements to determine whether a UE is serious or not (see also: Severe UE). The legal definition of a serious event in the context of a medical product was added to § 2 Medicine Safety Plan Regulation ( MPSV ).

Event in the chemistry

The discovery of a chemical reaction in the context of laboratory test series in which chemical bonds cause a previously existent, new product.

Event in mathematics

The term " event" ( also random event) is located in probability theory. An event is a subset of the result set of a random experiment is called, which can be assigned between 0 and 1 with a certain probability. Example: The random experiment is the " throwing with a regular 6- cube ". The result set consists of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and consists of all possible outcomes, ie Outputs of the random experiment, together. The subset {1, 3, 5 } of the total amount then is the event " throw an odd number."

Astronomical event

An astronomical event is taking place in the sky forming at any given time phenomenon. Some astronomical events occur with high regularity such as the lunar phases. Other astronomical events are not subject to direct periodicities, such as occultations by planets. Not all astronomical events can be predicted.

Event in the computer science

Under an event (English event) is understood in the event-driven programming, a story which - ( which resulted in ) optionally triggers a change of state and an action - an event - handler program. These events can be user input (mouse click, key, voice input, device connection, ...) or system events (time, errors, data manipulation, sensor, ...).

Bez event. events

The event is being increasingly used since the turn of the millennium in the English version of "event". Examples event manager, event technicians, event safety, event insurance, etc. apply
