an 80-year-old GP from Spreitenbach AG has lost his license to practice for good The Federal Supreme Court has rejected his appeal The Federal Supreme Court has rejected the appeal of an 80-year-old family doctor from Spreitenbach thereby confirming an important ruling: The doctor must close his practice after 46 years The background to this is a serious breach of duty: a patient died of drug poisoning after many years of inappropriate prescribing practices The canton of Aargau had already revoked the doctor's license to practice in November 2023 but failed both before the administrative court and now finally in Lausanne The Federal Supreme Court did not uphold his appeal as it was inadequately substantiated the doctor must inform his patients in writing about the closure of the practice and give them the opportunity to collect their patient files the files must be sent by post or - if agreed - by e-mail they must be stored at Archivsuisse at the doctor's expense Although the doctor must give up his practice he may in principle continue to work as an employee - but only in an inpatient facility and at the level of senior physician at most ten professional licenses have been revoked in the canton of Aargau The case centers on a patient who had received excessive doses of sleeping pills and painkillers for years - often only on telephone request without a medical examination the woman died of mixed intoxication with zolpidem and tramadol The District Court of Baden convicted the doctor back in 2022 for violating the Narcotics Act and breaching his duty of care

Correction to this article was published on 16 September 2020 This article has been updated Genetic studies of Neolithic and Bronze Age skeletons from Europe have provided evidence for strong population genetic changes at the beginning and the end of the Neolithic period To further understand the implications of these in Southern Central Europe we analyze 96 ancient genomes from Switzerland covering the Middle/Late Neolithic to Early Bronze Age Similar to previously described genetic changes in other parts of Europe from the early 3rd millennium BCE we detect an arrival of ancestry related to Late Neolithic pastoralists from the Pontic-Caspian steppe in Switzerland as early as 2860–2460 calBCE Our analyses suggest that this genetic turnover was a complex process lasting almost 1000 years and involved highly genetically structured populations in this region the exact timing of the arrival in other regions as well as the demographic processes underlying this genetic admixture Although there are numerous Neolithic and Early Bronze Age sites from the lakeshores and moors there are no burials directly related to them to the fact that the Chamblandes type stone cist tombs were already in use in the fifth millennium BCE exactly at the time when the lakeshore settlements begin to become numerous The burials of the Early Bronze Age are concentrated in inner alpine regions (Rhone valley and foothills of the Alps) from which no lakeside settlements of this period are known in periods with many settlements the corresponding burials are missing The reasons for this are probably of taphonomic nature The aim of this project is to investigate the transition from the Neolithic to the Bronze Age in Switzerland in detail with a specific focus on the timing of the arrival source and mixture process of steppe-related ancestry and the social and demographic structure before and after this transition we generate genome-wide data from 96 individuals dating to the Neolithic and Early Bronze Age period from Switzerland We also generate data from one individual from the Early Iron Age and the Roman period We find the expected large genetic turnover at the beginning of the third millennium BC and a highly genetically structured population in the region of present day Switzerland at that time period a Time ranges of calibrated radiocarbon dates of the archaeological sites. b Geographical distribution of the sites and samples sizes per sites in brackets. Map generated with R version 3.4.3 (R Core Team 2017) using the CIA World Data Bank II currently (mid 2003) available from http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/ c PCA was reconstructed on 1960 modern European individuals of the POPRES dataset and ancient genomes were projected onto it one consisting of individuals dating to 4770–2500 calBCE and one comprising individuals dating to 2900–1750 calBCE The oldest individuals from the sites of Niederried (CH) and Lingolsheim (F) fall close to ancient individuals from Anatolia associated with early agricultural contexts More recent individuals from the megalithic burials at Oberbipp (CH) and Aesch (CH) are shifted further towards Western Hunter-Gatherers (WHG) and close to modern-day Sardinian individuals as well as towards Early and Middle Neolithic individuals from Iberia or the Middle Elbe-Saale (MES) region in Central Germany This shift mirrors an increase of hunter-gatherer-related ancestry during the middle Neolithic that has been described previously for other parts of Europe The second distinct cluster is shifted towards the individuals associated with the “Yamnaya” complex similar to other European groups younger than 2700 BCE relative to individuals older than 2700 BCE the oldest individuals are closest to Late Neolithic groups on the steppe whereas more recent individuals are once again shifted towards the Middle/Late Neolithic cluster All Final Neolithic and Early Bronze Age individuals fall within the range of modern-day Europeans but none of the newly sequenced individuals of this study overlap with the present-day Swiss populations in this analysis suggesting additional population changes in the region after the Middle Bronze Age a Three-way qpAdm models of the ancient individuals from Switzerland (number of individuals in brackets) sorted by sites in chronological order (bottom to top) with the source populations WHG steppe pastoralists (Yamnaya Samara) and Anatolia Neolithic Error bars represent standard error of the proportion of each component b Relative proportion of the steppe-related ancestry component for each individual in four different regions calculated with qpAdm and estimates of arrival times (error bars represent the range of C14 dating) and following decrease of the component (dashes lines) Red dots represent female individuals and blue dots male individuals c An estimate of genetic diversity between individuals before 2700 BCE and after 2700 BCE and sites with individuals from both periods as well as modern European populations (German and French from the HO dataset) We analyzed pairwise genetic differences across all analyzed genomic positions between individuals before and after the genetic turnover and found that the mismatch rates increase, on average, by around 0.009 after 2700 BCE for all populations (Fig. 2c This is more than twice the increase that can be attributed to the between-population variability in rates and indicates a significant increase in genetic diversity after the arrival of the YAM-related ancestry component in Central Europe Modern populations would be expected to have higher levels on average but are not compared in this analysis since the modern individuals from published datasets usually do not originate from groups with the same background (e.g. being related distantly) as could be expected in multiple burials so may be considered suggestive of an earlier arrival of steppe-related ancestry We also caution that differences are likely affected by uneven sampling through time in the three different datasets and so expect the precision of this analysis to improve with denser temporal sampling in the future a Admixture dates of single individuals are plotted against their calC14 dates (horizontal error bars indicate uncertainty in C14 dating and vertical error bars show 95% confidence interval of generation times) and b displayed as time range (C14 dates in red and estimated admixture dates in turquoise) c Admixture dates of grouped individuals according to their regions of origin were calculated (colors as above) For comparison, we performed a similar analysis for published ancient Final Neolithic and Bell Beaker populations from the MES region in Germany, Great Britain, and Iberia using a mixture between the YAM-related steppe component and the corresponding Middle Neolithic population of the region (Fig. 3c) Late Neolithic and Early Bronze Age individuals were split in Bell Beaker and Corded Ware groups we also split the Neolithic individuals from Switzerland into a group of individuals associated with the Corded Ware Complex from Spreitenbach and a group of younger individuals from the Bronze Age MES and Switzerland) show similar ranges of admixture dates between the steppe-related component and the Neolithic component starting between 3000 and 2500 BCE The inferred admixture time describes the time when people of steppe-related ancestry encountered people with Late Neolithic ancestry but does not reveal the location Admixture could have happened in Switzerland or elsewhere with already admixed individuals moving to Switzerland The model remains fitting for Iberia Middle Neolithic and France Neolithic populations (p ≥ 0.01 and p ≥ 0.3 respectively) but it fails when we add Late Neolithic individuals from Switzerland or Globular Amphora as additional right population (p ≤ 2e−7 and p ≤ 2e−6 This suggests that both the local Swiss Late Neolithic population as well as people associated with the Late Neolithic Globular Amphora culture are better proxies of the genetic sources for Final Neolithic and Bronze Age populations from Switzerland than Western ANF and steppe pastoralists All relationships between the single individuals were reconstructed from autosomal variants and confirmed by uniparentally inherited markers such as mtDNA haplotype and Y chromosomal haplogroup Individuals with black outline were available for analysis and individuals with gray outline were not found within the burials and are missing Same colors indicate identical mtDNA haplotypes and matching Y chromosomal haplogroups Differences in genetic affinity of the ancient individuals from Switzerland to a Swiss–French and Swiss–German, b Swiss–Italian and Swiss–German, and c Swiss–French and Swiss–Italian. Maps generated with R version 3.4.3 (R Core Team 2017) using the CIA World Data Bank II are currently (mid 2003) available from http://www.evl.uic.edu/pape/data/WDB/ Genetic similarities between Corded Ware associated individuals from the MES region in Germany and individuals from Spreitenbach also associated with the Corded Ware Complex suggest that this complex was associated with a relatively homogenous genetic population throughout/across large parts of Central Europe Our study also presents one of the earliest evidence for adult lactose tolerance in Europe the origin of this steppe-related ancestry component lacking population does not necessarily lie that far south Also noteworthy is the remarkably early arrival of the steppe-related ancestry component in Switzerland at least as early as or even earlier than in regions of Germany and Great Britain especially since datasets from the regions in Great Britain and the MES region in Germany show gaps in the sampling between the Late/Final Neolithic and the Early Bronze Age potentially biasing the results to draw any conclusions about the exact route in which the steppe-related ancestry spread through Central Europe For the blunt ending 20 µl extract were combined with 30 μl reaction mix (1× NEB buffer 2 0.4 U/μl T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (BioLabs 0.024 U/μl T4 Polymerase also from BioLabs) and then

sample-specific number of cycles of 10 s at 95 °C All samples were pooled equimolar at 10 nM for shotgun sequencing For male samples, nuclear contamination was estimated using ANGSD48 Samples with mtDNA or nucDNA contamination >5% as well as samples with <10,000 SNPs of the HO dataset were excluded from further analysis Pseudo-haploid genotypes for the 1.2 M SNPs were retrieved using pileupcaller (https://github.com/stschiff/sequenceTools) A reference dataset of 399 published ancient genomes the HO dataset or the POPRES dataset were compiled The overlap between the 1.2 M targeted SNPs and the HO data are 593,054 SNPs between the POPRES and the target SNPs 133,682 For the principal component analysis on the newly sequenced individuals published ancient individuals and the

published ancient individuals (Ust Ishim we set individuals with steppe ancestry proportion zero To incorporate uncertainty in dating estimates we did not use the mean date for each individual and instead randomly sampled a date for each individual from a normal distribution truncated such that the upper and lower bounds of the date estimates form a 95% confidence interval around the sampling mean We repeated this sampling process 100,000 times and found an optimal value for te for each sample Optimal values of te were only retained if they produced stable solutions with a positive-definite Hessian matrix For the uncertainty in the proportion of steppe ancestry it is assumed it is identically distributed with mean zero and unbiased for all points as it is standard in least-squares regression We report kernel density estimates weighted by the ratio of the exponential of the sum of the squared residuals compared with the optimal residual sum of squares observed which is proportional to the ratio of Gaussian likelihood functions This approach allows parameter values that performed best to be given more weight in the report kernel density functions and approximates implementing a Monte Carlo Markov chain with a truncated Gaussian prior distribution for sampling times and a uniform proposal density function for parameter values Population continuity

It thus confirms the ruling of the Zurich High Court. The woman is punished with a two-year suspended prison sentence. The "Tages-Anzeiger" reported on the Federal Court's ruling in February 2025 The tenants affected were socially disadvantaged people including many asylum seekers who hardly spoke any German The ruling lists a total of 42 people as aggrieved parties The landlady had rented three large apartments in 2016 and sublet the rooms at prices that were 25 to 158 percent higher than the usual local interest rates she installed additional partition walls to create more rooms She rented these out for between 900 and 1260 francs per room even though some of them had considerable defects The woman was briefly remanded in custody during the proceedings in the canton of Zurich The public prosecutor's office froze 88,000 francs in her accounts to cover the costs of the proceedings The tenants' association feels vindicated by the ruling Managing Director Linda Rosenkranz emphasizes in the Tages-Anzeiger that the court has made it clear that taking advantage of tenants in need is a crime Rent profiteering is a widespread problem and the ruling should encourage those affected to fight back The case of the "Gammelhäuser" in Zurich in which an entrepreneur rented studios to people in precarious circumstances for CHF 1,000 and more The high court also sentenced him to two years' probation he overcharged his tenants by 750,000 francs between 2012 and 2015 usurious rents not only affect the socially disadvantaged but also high-earning professionals who urgently need living space Larissa Steiner from the Zurich Tenants' Association explains that there are several hundred cases of usurious rents in the city The homeowners' association also sees itself vindicated but for a different reason: the majority of those convicted were not the owners of the properties The HEV wanted to enforce stricter regulations on subletting in 2024 the focus was less on excessively high rents than the provision that subletting could be limited to two years believes that the figure of several hundred cases of usurious rents in Zurich is exaggerated and unfounded The editor wrote this article with the help of AI 2019A theater in Switzerland is taking the comfort of watching movies to a new

advertising with the unique magic of the big screen A conversation with cinema marketer Christof Kaufmann and cinema operator Venanzio Di Bacco Heroes of the silver screen: Werbewoche.ch editor Beat Hürlimann in conversation with cinema marketer Christof Kaufmann (left) and cinema operator Venanzio Di Bacco The conversation can be watched or read either as a video blog or in writing Werbewoche.ch: Imagine I give you a magic ticket similar to the one in the movie "Last Action Hero" the boy Danny receives such a ticket from his friend Nik and thanks to it he dives into the movie world of his on-screen hero Jack Slater Now the question for you: Which movie would you like to experience up close more specifically the movie "Next Goal Wins" which has just been released and will be released in January 24 This movie is about a Samoan football team trying to qualify for the 2014 World Cup I would like to accompany Michael Fassbender and try to lead the team to success together And which villain would you like to duel with in the real world that would definitely be Gerd Fröbe from "Goldfinger" who I would love to get into the ring with But I also fight against those who still declare cinema dead That is simply wrong and the opposite was clearly proven last year with Barbie and Oppenheimer and many other successful films I would also emphasize that streaming is not in competition with cinema This statement that streaming competes with linear television is almost a bit naïve.malicious Research shows that people who go to the movies a lot also stream a lot these are my "bad guys" in a professional context Why should brands buy an advertising ticket for the movies more often Venanzio Di Bacco: Brands are of great importance to society and people identify with them A movie theater offers the perfect environment for a brand and if the brand and its advertising match the movie Christof Kaufmann: Cinema is still the only remaining premium medium in Switzerland in which advertising contacts and effects take place in top quality this should also be increasingly taken into account when choosing an advertising channel Venanzio Di Bacco: 2023 was an eventful year We got off to a strong start with "Avatar" which was a big hit at the beginning of the year This was followed by "Supermario K.O." at Easter The summer brought "Barbie and Oppenheimer" with record figures for those months The Pathé Multiplex Cinema Spreitenbach opened in 2019 The pandemic was an extremely difficult time for the entire industry As an industry that is normally open almost 24 hours a day It was a challenge to manage both our teams and our customers that is over and now we are looking positively to the future What cinematic highlights can we look forward to in 2024 The coming year promises some exciting movie moments Then we look forward to the return of "Minions" And what advertising highlights for the cinema Christof Kaufmann: It's always a highlight for us when we can show longer versions of commercials on the screen But also the fact that cinema is a very local medium and also offers surrounding companies the opportunity to communicate with target groups Do you have any insights into the willingness of advertisers to invest in cinema advertising we are pleased that we have had a tailwind again since the summer with big hits such as "Barbie" and "Oppenheimer" We are confident that there will be more investment next year 2023 was generally not a huge year for advertising Your company Weischer.Cinema Schweiz GmbH published a study with the University of St What did it reveal about the impact of cinema advertising Our aim is to provide the advertising market with a large number of qualitative studies in future that prove that an advertising spot has a unique effect on the big screen This can be achieved by using the impressive premises such as those found here at Pathé in Spreitenbach the attention of the audience and the fact that cinema advertising does not interrupt but takes place before the actual film also contribute to this to provide the advertising market with a variety of factors in the area of impact Our aim is to offer investment security and convey a positive feeling Cinema advertising is not just the icing on the cake but must be an integral part of the entire advertising landscape What are the outstanding features here at the Pathé cinema complex in Spreitenbach Venanzio Di Bacco: This cinema is a multiplex with ten unique auditoriums which is undoubtedly one of the largest in Switzerland The lounge where we are currently staying was specially built for us Another highlight is the so-called bed cinema which offers a truly unique experience - the opportunity to enjoy a movie from a real bed which was designed in collaboration with a school class from Spreitenbach This area is very popular with the children but also like to hold their birthday parties there with their friends and schoolmates When I arrived at the movie theater this morning music was playing and the viewer was presented with a beautiful sight How would you describe your visual experience concept We have indeed attached great importance to the materialization of the multiplex with different colors and the recurring Pathé yellow The aim is to give the customer a feeling of well-being and offer a premium experience you also emphasized the close ties between your company and the municipality of Spreitenbach Could you tell us more about this and why this connection is so important The cinema project was realized in close cooperation with the municipality of Spreitenbach also functions as a community hall for Spreitenbach The municipality uses our cinema for its meetings and thus provides an excellent environment for its citizens It is a partnership that not only strengthens the cinema You and your team have also continued to improve the overall experience we now have food trucks that offer three different culinary experiences where visitors can design their own popcorn according to their preferences - a delicious mix of popcorn and exquisite ingredients we will also be introducing "Gasa Chilena" we will also be offering classic treats such as candy floss and bubble teas to round off the movie experience in a tasty way cinema offers an extremely effective environment for advertising measures Is cinema more at the top end of the advertising funnel Christof Kaufmann: This is not necessarily the case It is likely that very sales-oriented advertising is less common in cinemas this is due to the special quality of going to the movies where the audience is truly immersed in the medium and not distracted which is sometimes sought with other communication channels Cinema is the ideal channel when it comes to building brand value the medium can use its uniqueness particularly well to highlight premium features of products or even premium products themselves Before we watch a commercial break in the big Imax theater: Venanzio di Bacco Venanzio Di Bacco: We talked beforehand about my movie character I want to go to the World Cup with the Samoan football team But I realized

sustainability in recent years This was also the case with the customer event on January 25 2024 in the Umweltarena Schweiz in Spreitenbach Under the motto "openly and honestly unpacked" science and politics were able to find out why failure is so important when it comes to making supply chains more sustainable How does "one way" become a genuine circular economy which technologies make supply chains more efficient and sustainable and which measures help to make informed purchasing decisions Lyreco has brought over 30 experts to the stage who really have something to say from corporations to start-ups and from climate seniors to the youngest generation Lyreco unboxed is a recurring format that addresses the topic of sustainability in an authentic and bluntly open manner across all formats and unpacks it along the entire supply chain "Lyreco has been committed to sustainability for a long time," says Thomas Illi Managing Director of Lyreco Switzerland AG "not least with our commitment to the Science Based Target initiative sustainable delivery and the consistent implementation of an environmentally friendly product strategy we are already setting an example for a net-zero future." Now the leading service provider is building a unique and honest bridge from the mission "We are pioneers and sustainably deliver everything a workplace needs so that our customers can focus on the essentials." to the customer "We want to inspire and motivate our customers Lyreco consistently aligns its measures with its vision which is why this year's customer event was implemented in as reduced a way as possible "An initial analysis of the CO2-emissions of the Unboxed event has shown that around 90 % of emissions are generated in the areas of mobility and catering," explains Tina Kempf "We therefore avoid transportation wherever possible and rely on vegetarian Lyreco sets itself the following goals when organizing an event in the area of sustainability: The fact that at an event with around 1000 guests the CO2-emissions cannot be completely avoided Lyreco is aware of this: "Unavoidable emissions are accounted for and invested in the Swiss mountain forest project through financial support via corporate volunteering," says Tina Kempf Sustainability is a change that is neither trivial nor black and white which is why supply chains need transparency and alliances This is what the provider of workplace solutions offers with its new format "Lyreco unboxed: openly and honestly unpacked" demonstrating its commitment to moving forward with responsibility The annual customer event organized by Lyreco Switzerland serves as a networking platform and is traditionally seen as a symbol of thanks for successful collaboration emissions are also to be reduced for events year after year as part of the Science Based Target initiative An event guide created on the basis of this event serves this purpose Source: www.lyreco.ch Farmy AG is a company that brings authentic and responsibly produced foodstuffs from production directly to consumers; its range includes products from more than 1,200 manufacturers Farmy was looking for a new location and engaged Jones Lang LaSalle as exclusive advisor The mandate was successfully completed within five months Farmy will relocate its headquarters from Zurich Altstetten to Spreitenbach in the "Ecopark Tivoli" where it will rent around 7,000 sqm of commercial and storage space on the ground floor and basement the property at Pfadackerstrasse 10 will undergo an ecological refurbishment to meet high ESG and sustainability requirements in the future Farmy's move to the new location is planned for the end of 2022 According to Credit Suisse and Losinger Marazzi the Neumatt neighborhood will open up the Shoppi shopping center even more to the outside world and at the same time better link the existing parts of Spreitenbach Around 600 apartments are to be realized in the new buildings public uses are planned in the basement floors In order to specify the requirements of the development plan (ERP) and to obtain input for the design of the open space and the architecture of the buildings the company commissioned with the development and realization of Neumatt carried out a study commissioning process with seven teams between January and June 2018 in which the municipality of Spreitenbach was also represented selected the best approach for each building site There were changes to the planned superstructure: Until now, two wide high-rise slices were planned in Neumatt. In the study commission several teams proposed to realize narrower twin high-rise buildings instead This would allow more apartments with a two- or even three-sided orientation The assessment panel took up this suggestion and recommended that both the South and West high-rise buildings be realized as twin high-rise buildings The high-rise buildings are to contain rental apartments in a medium to higher price segment The proposal by Atelier WW Architekten SIA AG from Zurich was chosen for the south construction site by modern metal facades with integrated photovoltaic systems and a contemporary architectural language according to a statement from Losinger Marazzi and Credit Suisse The solution of the team consisting of Ruprecht Architekten and Hildebrand was selected for the West construction site an entrance area to the Shoppi is to be created in the basement of the double high-rise building which at the same time upgrades the connection to the Langäcker quarter During the public circulation of the Neumatt development plan there was criticism from the public about the plans for construction site C where a long building was planned along Baumgartenstrasse The municipality has therefore repositioned the building site allowing the realization of two row buildings with condominiums at right angles to Baumgartenstrasse according to plans by Morger Partner Architekten from Basel and Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur from Zurich The proposal for the open space concept by Studio Vulkan Landschaftsarchitektur also convinced the jury is pragmatic and will be implemented over a longer period of time ecological compensation areas with different uses - such as playgrounds and garden areas - are planned for the residents of the high-rise buildings on the roof surfaces of the Shoppi Numerous green spaces and meeting places will be created around the new buildings An esplanade will act as a hinge between the Shoppi and the city park the Spreitenbach municipal council intends to provide information about the value-added compensation it is negotiating with the land owner Credit Suisse Real Estate Fund Interswiss The municipality can use these funds for the design of the town park or for maintenance tasks It is expected that in December 2019 the Spreitenbach municipal assembly will vote on the partial revision of the building and usage regulations required for the realization of Neumatt This will be followed by the development of the construction projects which must be approved by the municipal council Construction can therefore begin in 2021/2022 at the earliest realization will take place in stages and is dependent on the future market situation 1973: Ikea opens its first store outside Scandinavia - here in Switzerland And "Hej" becomes "Hoi" for the first time Ikea Switzerland is now celebrating its 50th anniversary this year The furniture store has engaged three Swiss agencies for the first campaign flight Erdmannpeisker and Brinkertlück Switzerland are working on a common mission: celebrating the history of Ikea here in Switzerland the Swedes brought a completely new form of furniture shopping fifty years ago the agencies are staging the best-known and most popular design classics from Älmhult on the one hand - and on the other they are thematizing the transformation that fundamentally changed Swiss living styles 50 years ago All this in the familiar Ikea style: colorful a full-fledged VBZ streetcar that looks like an Ikea furniture store on the outside and offers a detailed time travel through five decades of product design on the inside thus pays homage to the well-known "blue Ikea box" as well as the many classics from past decades Brinkertlück penned the concept and copy-writing for the accompanying communication campaign which was further developed visually in a co-creative approach The final polish of the modular design grid was realized by the TBWA\ Zurich team which stages brand statements and product icons on megaposters and out-of-home placements nationwide Ikea Switzerland focuses on its identity-forming values and social responsibility Ikea Switzerland has been using energy-saving LED lighting exclusively since 2015 and in 2020 it introduced "Buyback Friday" for used furniture as a counterbalance to "Black Friday" - last but not least gender equality is a matter of course at Ikea with new fathers entitled to eight weeks' paternity leave (D)OOH measures and the streetcar fullbranding are the start of the anniversary campaign Many other measures in and outside the furniture stores are planned layout and design: Erdmannpeisker;
