Published: May 2023

Context:

COVID-19 patients undergo myriad of psychological problems such as mood swings, depression, fear of isolation, fear of dying, feeling helpless, insomnia, anxious forebodings, and nervousness. These are commonly seen among isolated and quarantined patients who experience notable levels of anxiety, uncertainty, anger, confusion, stress and insecurity.

Aims:

This study aims to determine the prevalence of anxiety and depression among these infected patients admitted to tertiary care center.

Settings and Design:

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 100 COVID-19 patients admitted to DMC&H, Ludhiana.

Subjects and Methods:

The data were collected on sociodemographic parameters and assessment was done using Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS) and Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) at the time of discharge from the hospital.

Statistical Analysis Used:

SPSS 21 version for Microsoft Windows.

Results:

Majority of the patients were males and in the age group of 31–50 years. 48% patients had comorbid depression. Moderate-to-severe levels of depression were found more in males (25%) as compared to females (15%). Comorbid anxiety was seen commonly in females (60%) than male patients (28.75%), though the moderate-to-severe level of anxiety was more in males (71.25%) as compared to females (40%). On symptom checklist of HDRS and HARS, patients had high scores on insomnia (75%), psychic anxiety (45%–50%), somatic symptoms (gastrointestinal [50%], muscular [56%], and respiratory [81%]) and loss of weight (40%).

Authors: Ravindren Rajith K , Jose Kurian
Published: May 2023

Background:

Schizophrenia is a chronic mental illness that results in significant disability. Many patients have difficulties in self-care, communication, and employment. The study assessed the effectiveness of a psychiatric rehabilitation program in reducing disability and improving quality of life (QOL) in patients with schizophrenia residing in long-stay homes.

Methods:

Forty-two patients with schizophrenia who were inmates of two long-stay homes were the subjects. A rehabilitation program consisting of training in activities of daily living, social skills, medication self-adherence, cognitive training, and psychoeducation was imparted for 6 months. Pre- and post-intervention evaluations were done using IDEAS and WHOQOL-BREF. Wilcoxon signed-rank test was used to assess the significance of the change in outcomes.

Results:

Scores in self-care, interpersonal activities, communication, and work domain of IDEAS showed a significant reduction with large effect sizes. Domains one, two, and four of WHOQOL-BREF also showed significant improvements with medium to large effect sizes.

Conclusion:

The rehabilitation program reduces disability and improves the QOL in patients with chronic schizophrenia. Our model of rehabilitation is inexpensive and can be delivered by lay health workers under supervision.
Personality Predictors of “Selfie-Taking” Behavior Among College and School Going Students
Authors: Sharma Kanan , Gupta Shubhangi
Published: May 2023

Aim:

The study aims to identify significant personality predictors of selfie-taking behavior among college and school-going students.

Methods:

The sample size consists of 50 boys and 50 girls (n = 100) between the age range of 16–23 years from various schools and colleges of Delhi NCR. The tools used in the study were Cattell's 16 Personality Factors and Selfitis Behavior Scale.

Results:

The results of the study depicted a positive correlation of selfitis behavior with perfectionism and sensitivity. However, self-reliance, reasoning, and emotional stability showed a negative correlation with selfitis behavior. Furthermore, the results of the study showed that girls have more selfitis behavior as compared to boys and the college group have more selfitis behavior than that of the school group. ANOVA and linear regression were used to analyze data.

Conclusion:

Social media is the strongest tool of communication nowadays. “Selfies” are a growing social networking technique for self-disclosure. Use of social media is focusing on the physical aspect and allowing posting and amending pictures that are creating concerns about body image, poor self-esteem, loneliness, and depression among students. The overall results suggest that while selfies provide individuals with the potential of enhancing self-disclosure, they also demonstrate some risky and unhealthy behaviors. Therefore, predicting personality traits could be considered an effective variable to sensitize them before the deterioration of their mental health.

In the ongoing battle against the Corona Virus Disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, it is very important that the national leaders and health authorities must take appropriate measures to maintain an equilibrium between safeguarding the health, minimizing socioeconomic disruption, and protecting human rights of all the sections of the community. It is really a sad fact that the people who have been infected with the novel infection have been subjected to stigma and discrimination. As many nations have resorted to restriction of movements of the citizens, the girls and women are the most affected as their sexual and reproductive health needs are not being met, and in other words, these restrictions have aided in the violation of their human rights. In conclusion, the political leaders should understand the gravity of the situation and ensure that the human rights of all the sections of the society are given due importance by means of adoption of a comprehensive approach. In fact, safeguarding the human rights of the people is an important domain of the emergency public health response, and we all should not encourage discrimination of any kind against anyone.

Published: May 2023

Carcinoma erysipeloides (CE) is a rare type of cutaneous metastasis. It can be observed during any stage of active carcinoma or after completion of radical treatment or may represent as the first clinical sign of an unknown primary. The diagnosis of CE is usually delayed as it mimics many benign skin conditions such as erysipelas. It is mostly associated with advanced breast cancer but can be seen in other malignancies like colon, pancreas, esophagus, and uterus. We report a case of CE in a patient with locally advanced breast cancer.

Published: May 2023

5-Fluoroacil (5-FU)-based chemotherapy has been widely used in the treatment of different cancer in adjuvant and metastatic settings. The common side effects related to 5-FU are gastrointestinal toxicity including nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and stomatitis as well as myelosuppression, hand-and-foot syndrome, and coronary vasospasm. In the medical literature, only rare cases of 5-FU-related encephalopathy are reported. We report a 51-year-old male patient with gastric adenocarcinoma who developed acute neurotoxicity and recurrent seizures after he underwent the first session of 5-FU chemotherapy treatment. Neurotoxicity is an important complication due to 5-FU and should not be overlooked when the patient is being treated with this chemotherapeutic agent, alone or in combination with other drugs. It runs an unpredictable course and may result in significant morbidity and mortality. The supportive and symptomatic management should be considered to avoid complications related to neurological side effects.

Authors: Pragnahitha Neerudu , Rao Arpitha S.
Published: May 2023

Aim:

This retrospective study in geriatric patients was done to analyze the toxicity profile and their tolerance to radiation therapy.

Materials and Methods:

A total of 222 patients from January 2019 to May 2022 with histopathologically proven carcinoma, who underwent radiotherapy (RT) on linear accelerator 6MV machine were included in the study with different techniques. We have searched patient's RT details in the records division of our institute and observations were noted down. Patients who received 50–70 Gy/30–35 fractions in radical or adjuvant setting were included.

Results:

Two hundred and twenty-two patients with age >65 years were included in the study of which 84% received curative treatment and 16% patients received adjuvant treatment. Ten (4.5%) patients were diagnosed the cases of brain tumors and the observed toxicities were three (30%) patients developed headache, rest of the patients experienced symptoms such as dizziness, one (10%) patient had quadriplegia, and one (10%) patient had mild cognitive disturbance. In head-and-neck cancers, 55 (24.7%) patients had Grade I mucositis and oral pain, 25% had Grade II mucositis, and 36% suffered Grade II oral pain. One patient had Grade IV oral mucositis and pain. Forty-one percent patients experienced gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity out of which 40% of anorectal patients had Grade I/II toxicities. Seven patients experiencing abdominal pain out of which three patients were diagnosed cases of anorectum and the rest were cervical cancer patients. Dysuria was reported in all the 11 patients of prostatic cancer and 9 bladder carcinoma patients. One patient had Grade III dysuria. Vaginal dryness Grade I was reported in five patients of endometrial carcinoma. 19% reported continuation of vaginal hemorrhage, 33% had Grade II vaginal discharge, and one patient had Grade III vaginal discharge associated with foul smell. Forty-one percent patients experienced GI toxicity out of which 40% of anorectal patients had grade–I/II toxicities, despite toxicity patients completed the treatment. Rest 60% of patients were cervical cancer patients, and in these patients, two cases of cervical carcinoma with vulva developed moist desquamation of localized skin. 27 patients with breast cancer, 44% of whom experienced low grade breast pain and ipsilateral arm pain after surgery.

Conclusions:

Our study shows that severity of toxicity is not directly proportional to age and the decision of radiation therapy in elderly cancer patients should not be limited to or compromised in a curative setting. The performance status as well as the extent and severity of comorbidity should be considered. The optimal risk benefit ratio should be assessed and discussed in detail with the family before decision.

Authors: Solakoglu Tevfik , Kucukmetin Nurten Turkel , Akar Mustafa , Koseoglu Hüseyin
Published: May 2023

Background:

The hospital outcomes and predictors of acute peripancreatic fluid collection (APFC) have not been well-characterized. In this study, we aimed to investigate the clinical outcomes of APFC in patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) and the role of the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammation response index (SIRI), and C-reactive protein (CRP) level in predicting the occurrence of APFC.

Methods:

In this retrospective study, the complicated group (patients with APFC) and the uncomplicated group (patients without APFC) were compared for their clinical characteristics, hospital outcomes (mortality rate, intensive care unit admission rate, and length of hospital stay), pseudocyst formation, CRP levels, SII, and SIRI on admission and at 48 hours.

Results:

Of 132 patients with AP, 51 (38.6%) had APFC and eight (6.1%) had pancreatic pseudocysts. Of 51 patients with APFC, 15.7% had pancreatic pseudocysts. Pseudocyst did not develop in the uncomplicated group. SII value at 48 h [median 859 (541–1740) x 109/L vs. 610 (343–1259) x 109/L, P = 0.01] and CRP level at 48 h [89 (40–237) mg/L vs. 38 (12–122) mg/L, P = 0.01] were higher in the complicated group than in the uncomplicated group. The length of hospital stay was longer in the complicated group, compared with the uncomplicated group [median 8 days (5–15), vs. 4 days (3–7), P < 0.001, respectively]. No significant difference was detected between the two study groups’ mortality rates and intensive care unit admission rates.

Conclusions:

While 38.6% of the AP patients had APFC, 6.1% of all patients and 15.7% of the patients with APFC had pancreatic pseudocysts. APFC was found to lengthen the hospital stay and to be associated with the SII value and CRP level measured at 48 h.

Published: May 2023

Suppose

\mathcal{E} \to B

is a non-isotrivial elliptic surface defined over a number field, for smooth projective curve

B

. Let

k

denote the function field

\overline{\mathbb{Q}}(B)

and

E

the associated elliptic curve over

k

. In this article, we construct adelically metrized

\mathbb{R}

-divisors

\overline{D}_X

on the base curve

B

over a number field, for each

X \in E(k)\otimes \mathbb{R}

. We prove non-degeneracy of the Arakelov–Zhang intersection numbers

\overline{D}_X\cdot\overline{D}_Y

, as a biquadratic form on

E(k)\otimes \mathbb{R}

. As a consequence, we have the following Bogomolov-type statement for the Néron–Tate height functions on the fibers

E_t(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})

of

\mathcal{E}

over

t \in B(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})

: given points

P_1, \ldots, P_m \in E(k)

with

m\geq 2

, there exist an infinite sequence

\{t_n\}\subset B(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})

and small-height perturbations

P_{i,t_n}' \in E_{t_n}(\overline{\mathbb{Q}})

of specializations

P_{i,t_n}

\{P_{1, t_n}', \ldots, P_{m,t_n}'\}

satisfies at least
two
independent linear relations for all

n

, if and only if the points

P_1, \ldots, P_m

are linearly dependent in

E(k)

. This gives a new proof of results of Masser and Zannier (2010, 2012) and of Barroero and Capuano (2016) and extends our earlier 2020 results. In the Appendix, we prove an equidistribution theorem for adelically metrized

\mathbb{R}

-divisors on projective varieties (over a number field) using results of Moriwaki (2016), extending the equidistribution theorem of Yuan (2012).
Local grand variable exponent Lebesgue spaces

Published: May 2023

We introduce local grand variable exponent Lebesgue spaces, where the variable exponent Lebesgue space is “aggrandized” only at a given closed set

F

of measure zero. It is shown that, for different aggrandizers with positive Matuszewska–Orlicz indices, the corresponding local grand variable exponent Lebesgue spaces coincide. We show that the maximal operator, singular operators, and maximal singular operators are bounded in such spaces. Lastly, an application to a Dirichlet problem for the Poisson equation, where

F

may be chosen as the boundary of the domain, is provided within the framework of such local grand spaces.

Sebagai bukti pemberian wewenang atas praperadilan kepada Pengadilan Negeri berdasarkan KUHAP ditetapkan dalam Pasal 1 butir 10 yang diinterpretasikan terkait keabsahan proses penangkapan, ganti rugi, dan penyidikan. Prosedur praperadilan lebih dijelaskan pada Pasal 79-83 KUHAP, yang tentunya wajib menjunjung tinggi HAM, dengan tetap melihat situasi dan kondisi terutama. Pengadilan Negeri sebagai pemegang wewenang nantinya bisa memberi penilaian dan putusan terkait proses praperadilan. Sebagai permasalahan dalam penelitian ini yaitu mengenai tolak ukur tentang sah tidaknya Penangkapan, Penahanan dan Penetapan Tersangka dan terkait objektivitas majelis hakim Pengadilan Negeri dalam memeriksa dan memutus permohonan praperadilan. Tujuan penelitian ini untuk menganalisis tolak ukur tentang sah tidaknya Penangkapan, Penahanan dan Penetapan Tersangka dan objektivitas majelis hakim Pengadilan Negeri dalam memeriksa dan memutus permohonan praperadilan. Metode penelitian ini adalah Yuridis Normatif dan Deskriptif Analitis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa tindakan penahanan hanya dapat dilakukan apabila syarat materil dan syarat formil dalam penangkapan terpenuhi, artinya apabila sebuah penangkapan dinyatakan cacat yuridis, maka dengan sendirinya tindakan penahanan cacat yuridis, penegakan hukum dilakukan dengan cara-cara melanggar hukum, maka tindakan tersebut merupakan tindakan ilegal dan tercela, Dalam Putusan No. 1/Pid.Pra/2022/PN.Blg tidak terlihat sedikitpun objektivitas majelis hakim dalam melihat kasus dengan pemahaman hukum yang seimbang.

Published: April 2023

Kendaraan jasa angkutan barang  sudah menjadi hal yang lumrah terlihat di berbagai titik daerah di Indonesia karena merupakan perantara antara konsumen dengan pengusaha jasa angkutan untuk melakukan perpindahan barang dagangan yang memiliki muatan yang cukup besar, namun seringkali kendaraan jenis angkutan barang  tidak memenuhi standar tipe pembuatan pabrik  atau sudah dimodifikasi kembali dengan harapan memperoleh keuntungan dalam memasok barang angkutan sehingga terjadilah pelanggaran berlebihnya dimensi dan muatan Overdimension dan Overloading (ODOL). Penelitian ini tertujuan untuk menganalisa penegakan hukum dalam kebijakan Zero ODOL terhadap Pengangkutan Barang dan untuk mengetahui bentuk sanksi pelanggaran dalam kebijakan Zero ODOL. Metode penelitian digunakan yaitu normatif dan pendekatan analisis normatif kualitatif. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa penegakan hukum dalam kebijakan Zero ODOL terhadap pengangkutan barang mengalami kemunduran selama lima tahun kebelakang hal ini disebabkan oleh  pengemudi angkutan umum tidak mematuhi ketentuan mengenai tata cara pemuatan, daya angkutan, dimensi kendaraan. Sehingga sanksi yang diberikan bisa berbentuk sanksi administrasi dan sanksi pidana kurungan. Pelanggaran ODOL termasuk pada sanksi golongan berat. Kesimpulan bahwa penegakan hukum dalam kebijakan Zero ODOL belum berjalan secara  efektif.

Published: April 2023

Acute limb ischemia is rare in patients with venous thromboembolism who already receive anticoagulation treatment. Inflammation is a risk factor for thrombus formation. Patients with active ulcerative colitis, especially at the time of exacerbation, are more prone to thromboembolism, both venous and arterial. The risk for thrombosis is 18% higher, with a higher risk of bleeding. To date, there is no contraindication to any anticoagulant drug in patients with ulcerative colitis. We represent a case of a 73 year - old woman with ulcerative colitis exacerbation, hospitalized initially for pulmonary thromboembolism, that developed acute arterial thrombosis when switched on a novel oral anticoagulant.

ABSTRAKLatar belakang: Hipertensi atau secara awam disebut sebagai tekanan darah tinggi adalah masalah kesehatan global, termasuk  di Indonesia karena prevalensi nya tinggi. Hipertensi atau  yang disebut the silent killer yang merupakan salah satu factor resiko paling berpengaruh penyebab penyakit jantung (cardio vascular). Mengetahui factor penyebab atau factor risiko terjadinya hipertensi merupakan hal penting untuk pencegahan dan penatalaksanaan hipertensi yang adekuat dalam upaya menurunkan risiko penyakit kardio vaskular. Faktor risiko terjadinya hipertensi antara lain seperti usia, gender, IMT, ras, dan life style. Tujuan Penelitian: Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui gambaran karakteristik pasien Hipertensi di Puskesmas Layang. Metode Penelitian: Penelitian yang dilakukan adalah penelitian deskriptif dengan menggunakan pendekatan desain penelitian cross sectional untuk melihat gambaran karakteristik pasien Hipertensi yang ada di Puskesmas Layang. Karakteristik yang dimaksud berupa jenis kelamin, usia, dan Indeks Massa Tubuh (IMT). Hasil Penelitian: Dari 112 orang dapat diketahui bahwa jumlah pasien laki-laki dengan Hipertensi yaitu berjumlah 47 orang (41,96%) dan  jumlah pasien perempuan dengan Hipertensi yaitu berjumlah 65 orang (58,03%). Jumlah pasien Hipertensi dengan usia <40 tahun yaitu sebanyak 3 orang (2,67%),  interval usia 40-45 tahun yaitu sebanyak 5 orang (4,46%), pada interval usia 46-50 tahun yaitu sebanyak 9 orang (8,03%), dan pada usia >50 tahun sebanyak 95 orang (84,82%). Jumlah pasien Hipertensi dengan IMT underweight sebanyak 5 orang (4,46%), IMT Normal sebanyak 30 orang (26,78%), Overweight sebanyak 34 orang (30,35%), Obesitas I sebanyak 42 orang (37,5%), dan Obesitas II sebanyak 1 orang (0,89%). Kesimpulan: Berdasarkan hasil penelitian yang telah dilakukan, didapatkan karakteristik pasien Hipertensi berdasarkan jenis kelamin menunjukkan bahwa perempuan lebih banyak dibandingkan laki-laki, berdasarkan usia didapatkan pada usia>50 tahun lebih banyak dibandingkan usia di bawahnya dan berdasarkan karakteristik IMT pada penderita Hipertensi didapatkan jumlah pasien dengan status gizi yang obesitas I jauh lebih banyak dibandingkan status gizi yang lain. Berdasarkan hasil yang didapatkan dapat dipahami bahwa dengan mengetahui beberapa factor resiko yang berperan terhadap peningkatan terjadinya Hipertensi, maka kita juga dapat secara langsung mengendalikan terjadinya kasus Hipertensi tersebut. Dengan mengacu kepada hasil yang didapatkan, maka dapat dikatakan bahwa tidak hanya dengan menggunakan obat dapat mengendalikan kasus-kasus Hipertensi, tetapi dengan mengontrol beberapa factor resiko juga dapat menurunkan kejadian penyakit Hipertensi.Kata Kunci: Hipertensi, Karakteristik Pasien Hipertensi, Puskesmas Layang

Published: April 2023

Background: Immunization is the process of developing immunity towards against infectious diseases through vaccination.  In 2019, the highest and lowest complete basic immunization coverage were achieved in Jambula (100%) and Kota (89%) public health centers, respectively.  Maternal characteristics are considered to play role in basic immunization coverage among toddlers. Purpose: To identify the association between maternal characteristics and completeness of basic immunization among toddlers in the Kota and Jambula public health centers, Ternate. Method: Using purposive sampling, this analytical observational study was conducted in the Kota and Jambula public health centers, Ternate, in 2021. Results: From 192 samples, statistically significant associations were identified between maternal education, knowledge, and attitudes, with the completeness of basic immunizations (p<0,05). No significant associations were detected with maternal age and maternal work. Conclusions: Maternal education, knowledge, and attitudes may affect the completeness of basic immunizations among toddlers. The need for sound programs and parental education regarding complete basic immunizations among toddlers might be crucial.Keywords: immunization, maternal characteristics, Kota Public Health Center, Jambula Public Health Center
Analysis of Leukocyte Count in Patients Acute Coronary Syndrome with ST-Segment Elevation and Acute Coronary Syndrome without ST-Segment Elevation at Kendari City General Hospital
Authors: Jamaluddin Jamaluddin , Irawaty Irawaty , Primula Fercee
Published: April 2023

Background: Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is an acute complication of coronary heart disease due to rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque, resulting in the formation of a thrombus, narrowing the lumen, resulting in impaired blood supply and decreased strength of heart muscle contraction. The occurrence of inflammation in the atherosclerotic process is characterized by an increase in the number of leukocytes, which causes increased leukocyte recruitment at the site of plaque rupture and is thought to play an important role in the incidence and prognosis of ACS. Purpose: The aim of this study was to determine the comparison of the number of leukocytes in STE and NSTE ACS patients. Methods: This research was an observational analytic study. The research design used a cross sectional study carried out at the Kendari City Regional General Hospital with the independent variable STE and Non STE ACS and the dependent variable was the leukocytes count. The number of samples was 73 patients. Data were collected from medical record data in accordance with the inclusion criteria.  Bivariate analysis to compare the number of leukocytes using the unpaired T test. Results: Research from 73 respondents found that STE ACS patients had a mean leucocyte count of 10.31±3.50x103/μL while NSTE ACS patients had a mean leukocyte count of 8.62±3.43 x 103/μL (p=0,000). Conclusion: There was a significant difference of leukocyte count in STE ACS and NSTE ACS patients.
Friedenslogik verstehen
Authors: Birckenbach Hanne-Margret
Published: May 2023

Wie muss Frieden heute konzeptionell gedacht werden, damit ein gewaltfreier Konfliktaustrag nicht mit dem Streben nach Sicherheit kollidiert? Wie kann Frieden unter den Bedingungen einer politisierten und globalisierten Welt funktionieren?
Dieses Buch beschreibt das Konzept der Friedenslogik – ein alternatives Konzept zur Sicherheitslogik, bei der der Wille zum Frieden durch Rüstung und militärische Drohpotenziale erreicht wird. Sein Ziel ist es, eine verbreiterte Teilhabe zu ermöglichen, die Relevanz der Schlüsselkategorie Frieden für die Sicherheits- und Menschenrechtspolitik sowie die entwicklungspolitische Zusammenarbeit begreifbar zu machen und zur Anwendung der Prinzipien anzuregen.
Wahlplakate im Politikunterricht
Authors: Buchberger Wolfgang , Hummer Robert
Published: May 2023

Plakate sind unverzichtbarer Teil eines jeden Wahlkampfes und zählen zu den zentralen Instrumenten politischer Kommunikation. Vor dem Hintergrund medial geprägter Alltagsbegegnungen mit Politik hat dieses Heft das Ziel, abseits herkömmlicher Plakatanalysen verschiedenste Beispiele und methodische Zugänge aufzuzeigen, um die vieldimensionale Funktionslogik von Wahlplakaten für Schüler*innen der Sekundarstufe begreifbar zu machen. Zentral in der methodischen Umsetzung ist die Erstellung eigener Wahlplakate mit vorgegeben Elementen, die für diesen Band entwickelt wurden und praxisnah erschlossen wird.
Extremismus in der deutschen Geschichte
Authors: Lamprecht Niko
Published: May 2023

Politischer Extremismus durchzieht in unterschiedlichen Formen die deutsche Geschichte. Die Beschäftigung mit seinen Ausprägungen und Ursachen ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil demokratischer Bildung. Dieses Heft hilft, den exemplarischen und nach Möglichkeit vergleichenden Blick auf extremistische Bewegungen, Strukturen und Entstehungsgründe zu schärfen.
Die zahlreichen Materialien in diesem Heft ermöglichen Schülerinnen und Schülern eine Auseinandersetzung mit dem Thema anhand folgender Schwerpunkte: 1848 – „Friede den Hütten, Krieg den Palästen!“, 1918 und Weimar – „Republik ohne Republikaner“, 1968 und RAF – „Macht kaputt, was Euch kaputtmacht!“, Extremismus nach 2000 – „Weg mit dem System!“
Das deutsche Kaiserreich
Authors: Brabänder Michael
Published: May 2023

Wie modern war das Kaiserreich? Die Geschichtswissenschaft streitet heftig über diese Frage, und sie ist auch aus didaktischer Sicht äußerst produktiv. Obrigkeitsstaatlichkeit, Militarismus und Klassenschranken stehen beispielhaft für repressive und retardierende Traditionsüberhänge. Demgegenüber hebt die jüngere Forschung verstärkt progressive
Tendenzen hervor wie etwa Massenpolitisierung, Frauenbewegung und Kommunikationsrevolution. Das Themenheft bringt diese schillernde Ambivalenz durch seine komplementäre Anlage zum Ausdruck: Antimoderne und zukunftsweisende Aspekte der Epoche wechseln einander ab und nehmen antithetisch aufeinander Bezug.
Die ausgewählten Materialien, weit überwiegend Primärquellen, sind auf Kontroversität und Multiperspektivität hin angelegt. Das Basismodul ist für Lernende beider Sekundarstufen geeignet, während sich ein Erweiterungsmodul im Sinne der Differenzierung insbesondere an Schüler*innen der Oberstufe richtet.
Präsenz. Online. Hybrid.
Authors: Gregor Florian , Heying Mareen , Neumann Arndt , Schmidt Dennis , Schürmann Svenja
Published: May 2023

Für die digitale Hochschullehre stellt die Corona-Pandemie nicht weniger als eine Zeitenwende dar. Noch Anfang 2020 war sie außerhalb der Mediendidaktik ein Nischenthema, heute bestimmt sie den universitären Alltag. Welche didaktischen Chancen und Probleme für die Geschichtswissenschaft damit verbunden sind und wie sich zukünftig Präsenz-, Online- und Hybridlehre wechselseitig ergänzen können, steht im Mittelpunkt dieses Bandes. Ausgehend von der gemeinsamen Reflexion ihrer Lehrtätigkeit an der FernUniversität in Hagen und an anderen Universitäten formulieren die Autor*innen Anregungen für den sinnvollen Einsatz von Videokonferenzsystemen, Lernplattformen und weiteren digitalen Tools.
Corona kontrovers II
Authors: Breusing Mia
Published: May 2023

Im Rahmen der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie führten in Deutschland weitreichende Einschränkungen der Grundrechte zu einer Vielzahl kontrovers geführter Diskussionen über die Verhältnismäßigkeit von Maßnahmen und Reaktionen seitens Politik, Gesellschaft und Medien. Die drei konsekutiv angeordneten Bände bieten einen Einblick in die zentralen Eckpunkte der Debatte und durchleuchten ihre schwerpunktmäßige Zuordnung im Spannungsfeld zwischen einem Top-Down- und einem Bottom-Up-Krisenmanagement. Sie stellen nicht zuletzt umfangreiche Unterrichtsmaterialien bereit, welche es den Schülerinnen und Schülern ermöglichen, ihre eigenen Vorstellungen von Demokratie weiter auszubilden.
Band 2 untersucht die Zielsetzung sowie die Vorgehensweisen von Regierungen in der Krise (Schwerpunkt: deutscher und schwedischer Weg).
Steuergruppen auf den Punkt gebracht
Authors: Philipp Elmar
Published: May 2023

Die Einrichtung von Steuergruppen ist ein wichtiger Bestandteil gelungener Schulentwicklung. Dabei gilt: Die Akzeptanz der Steuergruppe im Kollegium ist die Voraussetzung ihrer Wirksamkeit. Dies ist eine große Herausforderung an die Prozesssteuerung, denn Fokusgruppen, so der neuere Begriff, benötigen dazu Haltungen und Handwerkszeug, die in diesem Band praxisnah und kompetent beschrieben werden. Themen sind u.a.: Selbstverständnis und Rolle der Steuergruppe, Mandat und Geschäftsordnung, „Change Management“-Wissen für Steuergruppen, Kompetenzen für die Prozesssteuerung, Steuergruppe als „High Performing Team“: Psychologische Sicherheit und „Impact Orientation“.

Autoritarismus und Demokratie
Authors: Rensmann Lars , Hagemann Steffen , Funke Hajo
Published: May 2023

Autoritarismus und Demokratie untersucht die vorherrschenden politischen Ordnungsformen in unserer globalisierten Moderne in zwei Perspektiven: einerseits aus der Sicht der normativen und politischen Theorie und Ideengeschichte, andererseits im Blick einer empirisch gesättigten, vergleichenden politischen Kulturforschung. Dabei werden sowohl grundlegende Klassiker der modernen politischen Theorie (von Hannah Arendt über die Frankfurter Schule bis zu Carl Schmitt) zu Fragen von Autoritarismus und Demokratie rekonstruiert und in Hinsicht auf ihre aktuelle Bedeutung diskutiert, als auch neuere und neueste Theorien zum Gegenstand der Debatte (von Jürgen Habermas und Axel Honneth zu John Rawls). Die Autoren richten ihren Blick insbesondere jenseits eines zu engen Begriffs von demokratischer respektive autoritärer Staatlichkeit. Sie argumentieren statt dessen für eine sozialwissenschaftlich erweiterte und empirisch fundierte Theoriebildung. Diese wird im Rahmen einer vergleichenden politischen Kulturforschung in examplarische Analysen von unterschiedlichen politischen Phänomenen in Deutschland, Europa, im Kontext des Balkan-Konflikts und des Nahen Ostens überführt. Die Fallanalysen zeitigen eine kritische politische Autoritarismusforschung, die auch jeweils spezifische Demokratisierungpotenziale freizulegen sucht. Vor diesem Hintergrund plädiert der Band für eine an Maximen sozialer Gerechtigkeit orientierte, kulturell sensibilisierte kosmopolitische politische Theorie, die auf eine reflexive Demokratisierung der modernen Weltgesellschaft "von unten" zielt.
Leitbild Demokratieerziehung
Authors: Himmelmann Gerhard
Published: May 2023

Mit seinem Werk „Demokratie-Lernen als Lebens-, Gesellschafts- und Herrschaftsform“ hat Gerhard Himmelmann eine intensive fachliche Diskussion in der deutschen Politikdidaktik ausgelöst. Angesichts paralleler Ansätze in der Pädagogik und sehr ähnlicher Initiativen im internationalen Kontext zum Thema „Education for Democratic Citizenship“ (EDC) zeigt sich, dass offenbar ein nachhaltiger Bedarf besteht, sich mit dem Thema Demokratieerziehung neu auseinander zu setzen. Diese Debatten und Denkanstöße sowie das Ausscheiden von Gerhard Himmelmann aus dem aktiven Dienst als Hochschullehrer an der Technischen Universität Braunschweig sind für die Herausgeber Gründe genug, einige konzeptionelle Vorläufer- und Begleitstudien von Himmelmann zu seinem Konzept des Demokratie-Lernens in überarbeiteter Form neu vorzulegen. Sie sollen zum besseren Verständnis seines Ansatzes beitragen. Im Zentrum dieses Buches steht jedoch eine ausführliche Expertise zur Frage „Was ist Demokratiekompetenz?“, die das Thema der Demokratieerziehung im internationalen Zusammenhang erschließt und damit eine internationale Anschlussfähigkeit der deutschen Debatten ermöglicht.
Verfassungsinterpretation
Authors: Kellermann Gero
Published: May 2023

Der rapide gesellschaftliche Wandel wirft erhebliche normative Fragen auf. Um integrative Lösungen für seine Gestaltung zu finden, kann der moderne Staat nicht auf ein Mindestmaß an allgemein anerkannten ethischen Orientierungen und Spielregeln verzichten. In den Grundwerten der Verfassung spiegelt sich dieser Grundkonsens. Erhaltung und Verinnerlichung dieses Konsenses sind jedoch spezifischen Schwierigkeiten ausgesetzt. An paradigmatischen Beispielen der Verfassungsinterpretation über den Menschenwürdegrundsatz, das Problemfeld „Freiheit und Sicherheit“ sowie besonders kulturgeprägte verfassungsrechtliche Institutionen wird die Leistungsfähigkeit des Grundgesetzes als zeitgemäße normative Ressource untersucht.
Solange die sich im Klassenzimmer anständig benehmen
Authors: Behrens Rico
Published: May 2023

Schule und Unterricht müssen sich vermehrt mit rechtsextremen Herausforderungen auseinandersetzen. Zahlreiche Publikationen beleuchten in diesem Zusammenhang präventive Handlungsmöglichkeiten. Die Besonderheit dieser Arbeit liegt dagegen darin, dass sie die Herausforderungen in der Auseinandersetzung mit schon rechtsextrem eingestellten Schülerinnen und Schülern in den Blick nimmt. Der Autor beschäftigt sich auf der Basis qualitativer Interviews mit Wahrnehmungen, Deutungen und Handlungsstrategien von sächsischen Politiklehrerinnen und -lehrern.
Was Jugendliche über Wirtschaft wissen und können sollen
Authors: Weber Birgit
Published: May 2023

Sollte Ökonomische Bildung als eigenes Fach oder besser als Integrationsfach unterrichtet werden? Band 2 der neuen Reihe
untersucht, welche ökonomische Bildung curricular in den unterschiedlichen Fächergruppen ökonomischer, politscher, gesellschaftlicher und arbeitsorientierter Bildung verankert ist. Die Ergebnisse liefern sowohl einen Maßstab als auch Kriterien für die curriculare Verankerung und Unterrichtspraxis einer allgemeinen sozioökonomischen Bildung – jenseits von Einseitigkeiten und Verzerrungen.
