This Festschrift is dedicated to Joost-Pieter Katoen in recognition of his outstanding research, teaching, and organizational successes. Joost-Pieter received his Master's and later his Ph.D. from the University of Twente, and his Professional Doctorate in Engineering from Eindhoven University of Technology. He had research positions at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg and Philips Research, and visiting professorships in France, Australia, and the UK. Since 2004 he has been a professor at RWTH Aachen University and is part-time associated with the University of Twente. Joost-Pieter’s main areas of research are formal methods, computer-aided verification, concurrency theory, probabilistic computation, and semantics. Among many recognitions for this work, he is an ACM Fellow; he was elected as a member of the Academia Europaea, the Royal Holland Society of Science and Humanities, and the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Science, Humanities and the Arts; he received an honorary doctorate from Aalborg University. He was awarded an ERC Advanced Grant; he has won best paper, distinguished paper, or test-of-time awards at key conferences such as ETAPS, IEEE SRDS, POPL, CONCUR, and LOPSTR; and he has given keynotes at dozens of major events. He has chaired the Steering Committee of the European Joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software (ETAPS) and the TACAS conference; he has been Program Chair, General Chair, or Program Committee member of hundreds of major conferences and workshops, and a board member of key journals; he has served on research boards (such as the EPSRC), doctoral committees, school and university committees, and IFIP working groups; and he coauthored Principles of Model Checking, a highly influential textbook. Throughout his career Joost-Pieter has been a remarkably successful teacher and mentor, supervising students and hosting postdoctoral researchers, many of whom have won awards for their research and advanced to senior positions, and he has collaborated in research and publications with a wide range of scientists. These successes are reflected in the papers contributed to this volume.

In 2022, over 1,000,000 people from Ukraine fled to Germany, mostly women and children. The aim of this study was to determine health status and socio-demographic background of Ukrainian refugee minors in Germany and to compare that to German minors. In this study, Ukrainian refugees of all ages, who voluntarily made contact with the study centres via flyers or refugee shelters, were interviewed with the help of trained interpreters from 09–12/2022. We assessed data from minors and their families on socio-economic status, general health perception, current and pre-existing infectious and non-contagious diseases, and vaccination status. The data for the minors were collected by interviewing the accompanying adults. In addition, a physical examination and serological screening for infectious and vaccine-preventable diseases were performed. Overall, 392 minors and accompanying adults (358) were included. Minors’ general and mental health were reported as “at least good" in 83% (316) and 80% (304), respectively. In 16% (63), infectious or other underlying diseases were recorded. Tuberculosis infections (7, 1.8%) and hepatitis C (2, 0.5%) were found through the serological tests. HIV could only be detected in one previously known case. Self-reported vaccinations against measles and varicella, for example, did not match serological findings (protection against measles 304; 84%; varicella 230; 64%). Conclusion: Accompanying adults often rate the general health and well-being of Ukrainian refugee minors as rather poor. Frequently, self-reported vaccinations and preexisting diseases did not match serology results; therefore, Ukrainian refugee minors without formal vaccination certificate should be offered all recommended vaccinations and be generously screened for hepatitis B, C and HIV in addition to tuberculosis.
