Published: April 2024

The representation of women in political offices has expanded in every country over the last few decades. Commencing with a historical overview, this review underscores the persistent obstacles and cultural constraints that have hindered women's political engagement. The primary focus is on identifying and dissecting impediments such as ingrained gender prejudices, unequal access to education, and sociocultural constraints. This comprehensive examination explores the crucial role of women in politics and their profound impact on policy formulation. Global attention has increased on gender equity and women's political representation, emphasizing the importance of understanding how women's participation in political decision-making processes influences policy outcomes. The involvement of women in politics, particularly in poorer countries where health and education are priority sectors, has led to improvements in the delivery of public services. The review delves into the political empowerment of women, highlighting the positive social change and role modeling that women in politics can provide in their local areas.

Civil Rights and Political Realignment: The Presidency of John F. Kennedy
Authors: Gilbert Robert E.
Published: April 2024

During his presidency, John F. Kennedy emerged as a powerful force for change in the area of equal rights for the nationʼs black population. In addition to the major civil rights legislation that he proposed and that Congress ultimately enacted, Kennedy served as the nationʼs teacher, trying to awaken in citizens a sense of understanding and fair-mindedness. He referred publicly to civil rights as a “national crisis of great dimensions,” and then worked hard in trying to resolve that crisis in a positive and peaceful way. However, the civil rights activities of both John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson contributed immeasurably to a powerful and enduring political realignment in the United States. Millions of Democrats, located heavily in the south, were highly disaffected by Kennedyʼs and Johnsonʼs activism in civil rights. Many moved out of the Democratic Party and then into the Republican Party after flirting in 1968 with the short-lived and overtly racist American Independent Party. Today, more than fifty years later, the south remains strongly Republican.

Knee injuries are a common concern in orthopedic and sports medicine, often requiring extensive rehabilitation to restore function and alleviate pain. The rehabilitation process can be long and challenging, necessitating innovative approaches to engage and motivate patients effectively. Serious games have emerged as a promising tool in rehabilitation, offering an interactive and enjoyable way to perform therapeutic exercises. In this context, a new serious game that leverages the Wii Fit Balance Board as an input device supported by a keyboard to aid knee rehabilitation was developed. To tailor the game to the specific needs of knee rehabilitation, qualitative content analysis and requirement extraction based on three interviews with therapists were conducted. These insights were then iteratively integrated into the game’s development, ensuring that the final game was both clinically relevant and engaging. A therapist subsequently re-evaluated the completed game, confirming its potential to enhance the rehabilitation process. It was also shown that further research is needed to detect squat movements on the Balance Board. But this initial approach, combining the Wii Fit Balance Board with squat exercises, uniquely addresses the challenges of knee rehabilitation, offering a novel video and game solution.

Supporting older adults’ health and well-being in the transition from work to retirement requires a holistic perspective and needs to address physical, mental, and social aspects of life. In a field study, applying a mixed-methods approach, we investigated to what extent the prototype of a digital coach can support older adults in this sensitive phase. We aim at answering the central research question: How can a digital coach support older adults in the transition from work to retirement to establish and maintain a healthy lifestyle? Overall, 32 participants from Austria and Belgium took part in an eight-week trial. App-based interventions in different domains (physical, mental, social) were provided and aimed at motivating the target group to become and/or stay active. The study shows that the digital coach has potential to support health and well-being on various levels. In particular, the mental activities proofed valuable and supported older adults’ well-being.
DiGA in Primary Care and the Influence of Patient-Related Factors – Results of a Survey of Family Doctors
Authors: Brecher Anna-Lena , Herrgen Julia , Mueller Tobias
Published: April 2024

Background: In 2019, the Digital Healthcare Act created the legal basis for prescribable mobile health applications, referred to as DiGA (in German: Digitale Gesundheitsanwendungen), as a novel healthcare delivery option in Germany [1, 2]. Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze the use of DiGA in primary care, focusing on the influence of socio-demographic characteristics of family doctors (FDs) and patient-related factors. Methods: Pen-and-paper survey among 97 FDs in the district of Giessen, Hesse, Germany. Results: 59.4% of surveyed FDs have already prescribed DiGA. The age and digital affinity of FDs as well as the location of their practice are significantly correlated with the level of information and willingness to use DiGA. Male und younger FDs rate their digital affinity higher. When deciding whether to prescribe DiGA, 72.9% of surveyed physicians take patient-related factors such as digital affinity, motivation, age and health literacy into consideration. Conclusion: Socio-demographic characteristics of FDs and patient-related factors have an influence on the use of DiGA.

While adherence to clinical guidelines improves the quality and consistency of care, personalized healthcare also requires a deep understanding of individual disease models and treatment plans. The structured preparation of medical routine data in a certain clinical context, e.g. a treatment pathway outlined in a medical guideline, is currently a challenging task. Medical data is often stored in diverse formats and systems, and the relevant clinical knowledge defining the context is not available in machine-readable formats. We present an approach to extract information from medical free text documentation by using structured clinical knowledge to guide information extraction into a structured and encoded format, overcoming the known challenges for natural language processing algorithms. Preliminary results have been encouraging, as one of our methods managed to extract 100% of all data-points with 85% accuracy in details. These advancements show the potential of our approach to effectively use unstructured clinical data to elevate the quality of patient care and reduce the workload of medical personnel.
