description: RESUMO

 

De maneira geral, os cursos da área da saúde têm uma matriz curricular extensa, com carga horária elevada, o que exige do aluno foco e dedicação, podendo por vezes gerar alguns desafios durante a graduação. Este estudo tem como objetivo analisar as dificuldades enfrentadas por estudantes de Odontologia de uma universidade pública e os fatores relacionados. Trata-se de um estudo descritivo, observacional, transversal, de natureza quantitativa, no qual participaram 180 estudantes, matriculados do primeiro ao décimo semestre do curso, que responderam a um questionário no Formulário Google. Os dados foram expressos em frequências absolutas e relativas e analisados pelos testes Exato de Fisher ou Qui-quadrado de Pearson (p ≤0,05). Observa-se que as dificuldades acadêmicas foram mais prevalentes (89,4%), seguidas das emocionais (88,3%) e em outros contextos (50,5%). Verifica-se associações estatisticamente significativas entre apresentar dificuldades em outros contextos e as variáveis: ter mudado de cidade ou de estado para cursar a graduação (p= 0,010) e ter sofrido pelo menos uma reprovação (p= 0,001). Ademais, constata-se correlação entre o desejo de desistir do curso e a Odontologia como a primeira opção de curso (p= 0,003). Desse modo, conclui-se que as dificuldades vivenciadas pelos acadêmicos não estão atreladas apenas às atividades da graduação, mas também a outros fatores, como os emocionais, psicológicos, familiares, dentre outros. Estes resultados remetem à necessidade de se estabelecerem estratégias que visem fortalecer as habilidades socioemocionais dos estudantes, mediante o acompanhamento contínuo e adequado suporte da universidade.

description: Naphthalene and 2-naphthol are two naphthalene derivatives, which play important roles in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of biofield energy treatment on the isotopic abundance of 13C/12C or 2H/1H and 18O/16O in naphthalene and 2-naphthol using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS). Naphthalene and 2-naphthol samples were divided into two parts: control and treated. The control group remained as untreated, while the treated group was subjected to Mr. Trivedi’s biofield energy treatment. The treated samples were subdivided into four parts named as T1, T2, T3 and T4. Control and treated samples were characterized using GC-MS. The GC-MS data revealed that the isotopic abundance ratio of 13C/12C or 2H/1H, (PM+1)/PM and 18O/16O, (PM+2)/PM were increased significantly in treated naphthalene and 2-naphthol (where PM-primary molecule, (PM+1) isotopic molecule either for 13C or 2H and (PM+2) is the isotopic molecule for 18O). The isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+1)/PM in the treated T2 samples of naphthalene and 2-naphthol was increased up to 129.40% and 165.40%, respectively as compared to their respective control. However, the isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+1)/PM in the treated T1, T3 and T4 samples of naphthalene was decreased by 44.41%, 33.49% and 30.3%, respectively as compared to their respective control. While in case of 2- naphthol, the isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+1)/PM was decreased by 39.57% in T1 sample and then gradually increased up to 9.85% from T3 to T4 samples. The isotopic abundance ratio of (PM+2)/PM in treated T2 sample of 2-naphthol was increased up to 163.24%, whereas this value was decreased by 39.57% in treated T1 sample. The GC-MS data suggest that the biofield energy treatment has significantly altered the isotopic abundance of 2H, 13C in naphthalene and 2H, 13C and 18O in 2- naphthol as compared to the control.

description: Objective: To assess the impact of the National Essential Medicines Scheme (NEMS) with respect to urban-rural inequalities regarding drug prescriptions in primary care facilities. Methods: A stratified two-stage random sampling strategy was used to sample 23,040 prescriptions from 192 primary care facilities from 2009 to 2010. Difference-in-Difference (DID) analyses were performed to test the association between NEMS and urban-rural gaps in prescription patterns. Between-Group Variance and Theil Index were calculated to measure urban-rural absolute and relative disparities in drug prescriptions. Results: The use of the Essential Medicines List (EML) achieved a compliance rate of up to 90 % in both urban and rural facilities. An overall reduction of average prescription cost improved economic access to drugs for patients in both areas. However, we observed an increased urban-rural disparity in average expenditure per prescription. The rate of antibiotics and glucocorticoids prescription remained high, despite a reduced disparity between urban and rural facilities. The average incidence of antibiotic prescription increased slightly in urban facilities (62 to 63 %) and reduced in rural facilities (67 % to 66 %). The urban-rural disparity in the use of parenteral administration (injections and infusions) increased, albeit at a high level in both areas (44 %-52 %). Conclusion: NEMS interventions are effective in reducing the overall average prescription costs. Despite the increased use of the EML, indicator performances with respect to rational drug prescribing and use remain poor and exceed the WHO/INRUD recommended cutoff values and worldwide benchmarks. There is an increased gap between urban and rural areas in the use of parenteral administration and expenditure per prescription.

Subjects: SECS-P/05 Econometria

description: This paper explores the potential of bootstrap methods in the empirical evalu- ation of dynamic stochastic general equilibrium (DSGE) models and, more generally, in linear rational expectations models featuring unobservable (latent) components. We consider two dimensions. First, we provide mild regularity conditions that suffice for the bootstrap Quasi- Maximum Likelihood (QML) estimator of the structural parameters to mimic the asymptotic distribution of the QML estimator. Consistency of the bootstrap allows to keep the probability of false rejections of the cross-equation restrictions under control. Second, we show that the realizations of the bootstrap estimator of the structural parameters can be constructively used to build novel, computationally straightforward tests for model misspecification, including the case of weak identification. In particular, we show that under strong identification and boot- strap consistency, a test statistic based on a set of realizations of the bootstrap QML estimator approximates the Gaussian distribution. Instead, when the regularity conditions for inference do not hold as e.g. it happens when (part of) the structural parameters are weakly identified, the above result is no longer valid. Therefore, we can evaluate how close or distant is the esti- mated model from the case of strong identification. Our Monte Carlo experimentations suggest that the bootstrap plays an important role along both dimensions and represents a promising evaluation tool of the cross-equation restrictions and, under certain conditions, of the strength of identification.  An empirical illustration based on a small-scale DSGE model estimated on
U.S. quarterly observations shows the practical usefulness of our approach.

Subjects: SECS-S/01 Statistica

description: In this study we propose a sequential procedure for hypothesis testing on the Cpk process capability index. We compare the properties of the sequential test with the performances of non-sequential tests by performing an extensive simulation study. The results indicate that the proposed sequential procedure makes it possible to save a large amount of sample size, which can be translated into reduced costs, time and resources.

description: Objective: To investigate Candida species and Staphylococcus aureus and the development of 'nipple and breast thrush' among breastfeeding women. Design: Prospective longitudinal cohort study. Setting: Two hospitals in Melbourne, Australia (one public, one private) with follow-up in the community. Participants: 360 nulliparous women recruited at 36 weeks' gestation from November 2009 to June 2011. Participants were followed up six times: in hospital, at home weekly until 4 weeks postpartum and by telephone at 8 weeks. Main outcome measures: Case definition 'nipple and breast thrush': burning nipple pain and breast pain (not related to mastitis); detection of Candida spp (using culture and PCR) in the mother's vagina, nipple or breast milk or in the baby's mouth; detection of S aureus in the mother' nipple or breast milk. Results: Women with the case definition of nipple/ breast thrush were more likely to have Candida spp in nipple/breast milk/baby oral samples (54%) compared to other women (36%, p=0.014). S aureus was common in nipple/breast milk/baby samples of women with these symptoms as well as women without these symptoms (82% vs 79%) (p=0.597). Time-to-event analysis examined predictors of nipple/breast thrush up to and including the time of data collection. Candida in nipple/breast milk/baby predicted incidence of the case definition (rate ratio (RR) 1.87 (95% CI 1.10 to 3.16, p=0.018). We do not have evidence that S aureus colonisation was a predictor of these symptoms (RR 1.53, 95% CI 0.88 to 2.64, p=0.13). Nipple damage was also a predictor of these symptoms, RR 2.30 (95% CI 1.19 to 4.43, p=0.012). In the multivariate model, with all three predictors, the RRs were very similar to the univariate RRs. This indicates that Candida and nipple damage are independent predictors of our case definition.
The Making of a Shiite Bourgeoisie in Lebanon

description: The thesis analyses the making of the Shiite middle- and upper/entrepreneurial-class in Lebanon from the 1960s till the present day. The trajectory explores the historical, political and social (internal and external) factors that brought a sub-proletariat to mobilise and become an entrepreneurial bourgeoisie in the span of less than three generations. 
This work proposes the main theoretical hypothesis to unpack and reveal the trajectory of a very recent social class that through education, diaspora, political and social mobilisation evolved in a few years into a very peculiar bourgeoisie: whereas Christian-Maronite middle class practically produced political formations and benefited from them and from Maronite’s state supremacy (National Pact, 1943) reinforcing the community’s status quo, Shiites built their own bourgeoisie from within, and mobilised their “cadres” (Boltanski) not just to benefit from their renovated presence at the state level, but to oppose to it. The general Social Movement Theory (SMT), as well as a vast amount of the literature on (middle) class formation are therefore largely contradicted, opening up new territories for discussion on how to build a bourgeoisie without the state’s support (Social Mobilisation Theory, Resource Mobilisation Theory) and if, eventually, the middle class always produces democratic movements (the emergence of a social group out of backwardness and isolation into near dominance of a political order).
The middle/upper class described here is at once an economic class related to the control of multiple forms of capital, and produced by local, national, and transnational networks related to flows of services, money, and education, and a culturally constructed social location and identity structured by economic as well as other forms of capital in relation to other groups in Lebanon.
title: Stakeholders’ view, consumers’ preferences and demand for plant-based eggs: a cross-country investigation
Creators: name: Rondoni, Agnese
Publisher: name: University of Reading

description: This thesis aims at investigating stakeholder’s perception and consumers’ 
associations, preferences, and demand for plant-based eggs, which have been 
developed to provide consumers with a healthier, animal-free, and environmentally 
friendlier alternative to conventional eggs. In order to achieve the study objectives, 
five research papers have been developed, which form the five chapters of this 
thesis. The first is a review of the literature on consumers’ preferences for 
conventional eggs from the past ten years, showing that consumers are
predominantly influenced by intrinsic (e.g., colour, size) and extrinsic product 
attributes, and particularly by the method of production (e.g., cage, free-range). The 
second paper explores egg stakeholders’ view on plant-based eggs, as well as the 
challenges and future development for plant-based eggsfrom the producers. Results 
show that despite egg stakeholders struggle to offer an alternative to conventional 
eggs to people who cannot or do not eat eggs (e.g., vegans), they are doubtful that 
plant-based eggs would have the same nutritional properties and functionalities in 
cooking than conventional eggs. On the other hand, plant-based egg manufacturers 
aim to replicate eggs in all its characteristics, in order to offer consumers a product 
with similar features. In the third manuscript, consumers’ associations with plant-based eggs are investigated. ‘Price’ emerges as the first association that comes to 
consumers’ mind when plant-based eggs are presented to them, which however has 
a negative meaning because plant-based eggs are expected to be more expensive 
than conventional eggs. Next, ‘healthy’, ‘animal welfare’ and ‘sustainability’ are 
relevant associations which are given a positive meaning. In the fourth paper, 
consumers’ preferences for intrinsic (e.g., colour, shape, taste) and extrinsic 
attributes (e.g., price, packaging, country of origin) of plant-based eggs are explored. What emerge is that consumers demand a plant-based egg with similar 
physical characteristics to conventional eggs, but appreciate it being healthier and 
more environmentally sustainable. In the last study, the influence of different 
communication channels (website, social media, and labels) on consumers’ 
preferences and willingness to pay for plant-based eggs is explored. Results show 
that free-range eggs were the most preferred egg products, followed by barn eggs, 
plant-based eggs made with peas, cage eggs and plant-based eggs made with soy. 
Social media is the most effective channel to communicate plant-based eggs to 
consumers as it increases their willingness to pay. Overall, the findings emerged 
from this thesis provide useful insights for plant-based egg manufactures, as well 
as for policy makers involved in the promotion of healthier and sustainable
behaviour.

description: Background: The CASTLE (Candida and Staphylococcus Transmission: Longitudinal Evaluation) study will investigate the micro-organisms involved in the development of mastitis and "breast thrush" among breastfeeding women. To date, the organism(s) associated with the development of breast thrush have not been identified. The CASTLE study will also investigate the impact of physical health problems and breastfeeding problems on maternal psychological health in the early postpartum period.Methods/Design: The CASTLE study is a longitudinal descriptive study designed to investigate the role of Staphylococcus spp (species) and Candida spp in breast pain and infection among lactating women, and to describe the transmission dynamics of S. aureus and Candida spp between mother and infant. The relationship between breastfeeding and postpartum health problems as well as maternal psychological well-being is also being investigated. A prospective cohort of four hundred nulliparous women who are at least thirty six weeks gestation pregnant are being recruited from two hospitals in Melbourne, Australia (November 2009 to June 2011). At recruitment, nasal, nipple (both breasts) and vaginal swabs are taken and participants complete a questionnaire asking about previous known staphylococcal and candidal infections. Following the birth, participants are followed-up six times: in hospital and then at home weekly until four weeks postpartum. Participants complete a questionnaire at each time points to collect information about breastfeeding problems and postpartum health problems. Nasal and nipple swabs and breast milk samples are collected from the mother. Oral and nasal swabs are collected from the baby. A telephone interview is conducted at eight weeks postpartum to collect information about postpartum health problems and breastfeeding problems, such as mastitis and nipple and breast pain.Discussion: This study is the first longitudinal study of the role of both staphylococcal and candidal colonisation in breast infections and will help to resolve the current controversy about which is the primary organism in the condition known as breast thrush. This study will also document transmission dynamics of S. aureus and Candida spp between mother and infant. In addition, CASTLE will investigate the impact of common maternal physical health symptoms and the effect of breastfeeding problems on maternal psychological well-being. © 2011 Amir et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

Un-/Gleichzeitigkeit und Synchronisation
Creators: name: Kirschsieper, Dennis
name: Brose, Hanns-Georg
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2014

description: Die Theorie temporalisierter, selbstreferentiell geschlossener Systeme beruht auf der Annahme einer »radikalen Verzeitlichung« von deren Elementen: als Ereignisse. Aus der selektiven Verknüpfung dieser Elemente entwickeln soziale Systeme ihren Ordnungsaufbau. Diese Ereignistemporalität legt eine Unterscheidung der Zeit im Vorher und Nachher nahe und kann als sequentielle Verkettung aneinander anschlussfähiger Elemente beobachtet werden. In der Theorie autopoietischer Systeme findet diese Berücksichtigung diachroner Zeitlichkeit eine prägnante Fassung. Quer zu dieser diachronen liegt jedoch die synchrone Betrachtung: die der Gleichzeitigkeit. Diese findet im späteren Werk Luhmanns vermehrt Beachtung und betont die aus der Gleichzeitigkeit resultierenden Probleme der Unkontrollierbarkeit des gleichzeitigen Geschehens. Daraus ergibt sich das Problem der Vermittlung simultaner Ereignisreihen mit der sequentiell operierenden Zeitlichkeit der Autopoiesis. Der Beitrag rekonstruiert einerseits die Berücksichtigung diachroner und synchroner Zeitlichkeit im werkgeschichtlichen Kontext und behandelt andererseits die unterschiedlichen Formen und Möglichkeiten ihrer Vermittlung, insbesondere der Synchronisation, in verschiedenen Typen von sozialen Systemen: Interaktionen, Organisationen und Gesellschaft. Die Problemstellung der Synchronisation (neuerlich) zu fokussieren scheint angebracht, weil sie im aktuellen systemtheoretischen Debattenstand mit Echtzeitrhetorik ›überspielt‹ und in soziologischen Zeitdiagnosen (Stichwort: Beschleunigung) theoretisch unzureichend durchdrungen wird. Gerade aus der Kombination diachroner und synchroner Betrachtung von Zeitlichkeit erwarten wir jedoch wichtige Anregungen für die empirische Forschung und ein tiefenschärferes Verständnis der Zeitverhältnisse in der Gesellschaft.

Autopoiesis und Hybride – zur Formkatastrophe der Gegenwartsgesellschaft

Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2014

description: Der Beitrag kontrastiert Luhmanns Beschreibung der Gesellschaft als funktional differenziert mit der latourschen Annahme des Vorhandenseins von Hybriden. Es wird gezeigt, dass Luhmanns unterscheidungstheoretische Interpretation autopoietischer Systeme den Gegenstand der Hybride nicht angemessen erfasst, sodass man eine Fehlpassung diagnostizieren kann. Eine Möglichkeit, Luhmanns unterscheidungstheoretische Erkenntnisse im Kontext der Diagnose der Vermehrung der Hybride von Latour zu bewahren und die Fehlpassung zu korrigieren – mit anderen Worten: die Entfaltung der Paradoxie der Form der Unterscheidung und sowie der Paradoxie der Hybridität im Unterscheiden –, ist die Modellierung mit Hilfe der fuzzy-systems theory von Lotfi Zadeh. Auf diese Weise wird die Dichotomisierung im Unterscheidungsdenken Luhmanns überwunden und Hybride im latourschen Sinne in der Systemtheorie modellierbar.

description: Die Perspektive dieses Beitrages ist keine genuin fachwissenschaftlich-soziologische, sondern eine kommunikationswissenschaftliche. Imhof selbst verortet den Untersuchungsgegenstand Öffentlichkeit im Schnittfeld von Kommunikationswissenschaft, Politologie und Soziologie (8). Als Professor für Soziologie und für Publizistikwissenschaft an der Universität Zürich leistet er seit mehr als zwei Jahrzehnten zentrale Beiträge zu den Forschungsthemen Öffentlichkeit, Deliberation, Medialisierung und Skandalisierung für die inter- und transdisziplinäre Debatte. Der folgende Beitrag ist von einer Kommunikationswissenschaftlerin geschrieben, die sich der Monografie Imhofs von 2011 (sowie weiteren seiner Schriften, die hinzugezogen werden) aus zwei Perspektiven nähert, was somit selbstredend reduktiv ist: 1. einer theoriehistorischen Perspektive. Sie richtet sich auf den Beitrag Imhofs zum Verständnis der Entwicklung moderner Öffentlichkeit und der Reflexion dieser Entwicklung durch die Klassiker der Soziologie und der Kommunikationswissenschaft (die teils dieselben sind, vgl. Meyen/Löblich 2006); 2. einer Perspektive, die aktuelle Fragen der Kommunikationstheorie und -empirie betrifft, zielend auf die Frage, was das Buch uns für die Entwicklung von Öffentlichkeit unter neuen Medienbedingungen zu sagen hat.

Canonical differential equations for the elliptic two-loop five-point integral family relevant to $t\bar t +$jet production at leading colour

description: We present differential equations (DEs) in canonical form for a family of two-loop five-point Feynman integrals containing elliptic functions and nested square roots. This is the only family for which canonical DEs were not yet available among those required to compute the two-loop leading-colour amplitude for top-pair production in association with a jet at hadron colliders. We write the DEs in terms of one-forms having (locally) simple poles at all singular points, and highlight the `duplet' structure that generalises the even/odd charge of square roots to nested roots. All transcendental functions in the DEs are expressed in closed form using complete elliptic integrals, while one-forms free of elliptic functions are given in terms of logarithms, including those with the nested roots. In addition to marking a significant step towards next-to-next-to-leading order QCD predictions for an important LHC process, this work represents the first time that a canonical basis of integrals involving elliptic functions has been obtained for a five-particle process.

description: Background: Offloading plantar pressure is a key strategy for the prevention or healing of neuropathic plantar ulcers in diabetes. Non-removable walking casts, such as total contact casts, are currently considered the gold-standard for offloading this type of wound. However, alternative methods for offloading that are more cost effective and easier to use are continually being sought. The aim of this study was to evaluate the capacity of the DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ to offload high pressure areas under the neuropathic foot in diabetes.Methods: A within-subjects, repeated measures design was used. Sixteen participants with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were recruited and three footwear conditions were evaluated in a randomised order: a canvas shoe (the control), the participants' own standard shoe, and the DH Pressure Relief Shoe™. The primary outcome was peak plantar pressure, measured using the pedar-X® mobile in-shoe system between the three conditions.Results: Data analysis was conducted on 14 out of the 16 participants because two participants could not complete data collection. The mean peak pressure values in kPa (±SD) for each condition were: control shoe 315.9 (±140.7), participants' standard shoe 273.0 (±127.1) and DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ 155.4 (±89.9). There was a statistically significant difference in peak plantar pressure between the DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ compared to both the control shoe (p = 0.002) and participants' standard shoe (p = 0.001). The DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ decreased plantar pressures by 51% compared to the control shoe and by 43% compared to participants' standard shoe. Importantly, for a couple of study participants, the DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ appeared unsuitable for day-to-day wearing.Conclusions: The DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ reduced plantar pressures more than the other two shoe conditions. The DH Pressure Relief Shoe™ may be a useful alternative to current offloading modalities used in clinical management of diabetic foot ulceration.

description: Journal of Foot and Ankle Research was launched one year ago, and a number of its key achievements are highlighted in this editorial. Although the journal is underpinned by professional bodies associated with the podiatry professions in the UK and Australasia, its content is aimed at the wider foot and ankle research community. Nevertheless, the journal's achievements over the past year reflect the development of research in the profession of podiatry. From this perspective, the journal may be viewed as contributing to the overall attainment of some of the profession's key goals and strategic aims over the last decade, across the UK and Australasia. The journal has also witnessed policy changes in the last year, and these are discussed - notably, the decision not to accept case reports for publication. We also report on a few of the key metrics, providing readers with a summary of the journal's performance over the last year. © 2009 Potter et al; licensee BioMed Central Ltd.

description: Several studies of health system responsiveness focus on the demand-side by investigating the association between socio-demographic characteristics of patients and their reported level of responsiveness. However, little is known about the influence of supply-side factors. This paper addresses that research gap by analysing the role of hospital-specialty characteristics in explaining variations in patients’ evaluation of responsiveness from a sample of about 38,700 in-patients treated in public hospitals within the Italian Region of Emilia-Romagna. The analysis is carried out by adopting a two-step procedure. First, we use patients’ self-reported data to derive five measures of responsiveness at the hospital-specialty level. By estimating a generalised ordered probit model, we are able to correct for variations in individual reporting behaviour due to the health status of patients and their experience of being in pain. Secondly, we run cross-sectional regressions in order to investigate the association between patients’ responsiveness and potential supply-side drivers, including waiting times, staff workload, the level of spending on non-clinical facilities, the level of spending on staff education and training, and the proportion of staff expenditure between nursing and administrative staff. Results suggest that responsiveness is to some extent influenced by the supply-side drivers considered.
Potential structures for olivanic acid based antibiotics

description: With the emergence of MRSA, many of the antibiotics that we have come to rely on have become ineffective. Many alternatives have been studied, but olivanic acid has shown promise in vitro. The major issue being the low stability in vivo. This research presents potential analogues to fix this problem and make olivanic acid a usable antibiotic option.

description: Dass Sozialwissenschaftler_innen Teil dessen sind, was sie beforschen, ist in der gegenwärtigen Theoretischen Soziologie allgemein anerkannt, auch wenn es zu unterschiedlichen Reaktionsweisen geführt hat: So bemüht sich etwa Bourdieu (1993) um eine Objektivierung der eigenen Begriffsbildung und Reflexivität, Luhmann (1997) integriert das Problem offensiv in seiner autologischen Version der Theoriebildung und Anthony Giddens (1996) baut diesen Umstand in seiner Deutung einer ›zutiefst soziologischen Moderne‹ ein. Eine strukturähnliche Herausforderung stellt sich für die Öffentlichkeit, insbesondere auch in normativen Deutungen der Öffentlichkeit wie etwa bei Habermas (1981). Bei Kurt Imhof spielen die Sozialwissenschaften als Urheber, Teilnehmer, Beforschende und Reflektierende der Öffentlichkeit ebenfalls eine Rolle – allerdings werden die Potentiale nicht immer voll ausgeschöpft.

Krise der Öffentlichkeit: Krise eines Konzepts, einer Disziplin oder einer historischen Form von Öffentlichkeit?
Creators: name: Krotz, Friedrich
Publisher: name: Zeitschrift für Theoretische Soziologie
Year: 2014

description: Es ist ein schwieriges Buch, das Kurt Imhof vorgelegt hat. Schwierig aus mehreren Gründen. Einmal, weil es in einer zwar kraftvollen, aber zugleich ausgesprochen komplexen Sprache verfasst und schon deswegen nicht leicht zu lesen ist. Schwierig insbesondere auch für Leser aus anderen Disziplinen, weil es ein Buch eines Soziologen speziell für andere SoziologInnen ist, das Assoziationen und Bezüge aus bald 3.000 Jahren (europäischer) Philosophie und 300 Jahren Sozialtheorie beinhaltet – und das von Leserin und Leser einfordert, dass diese nicht nur über das gleiche Wissen verfügen, sondern deshalb auch an vielen Stellen auf genauere Begründungen und Argumente verzichten können, dass ihnen also allgemeine Hinweise und generelle Überlegungen ausreichen, um auch im Detail nachvollziehen zu können, was da an Relevanzen und Kriterien, an Assoziationen und Systematisierungen, an Zusammenhangswissen und detaillierten Schlussfolgerungen vorgetragen wird. Schließlich ist das Buch auch deswegen schwierig, weil es inhaltlich randvoll mit Thesen, Argumenten, Überlegungen und Hinweisen ist. Denn Imhof setzt sich seit Jahrzehnten sowohl theoretisch als auch empirisch mit den in dem Band verhandelten Fragen auseinander und bündelt hier nun sein Wissen und seine Überlegungen zu dem, was ihm schon immer am Herzen lag und liegt (soweit ich dies beurteilen kann): Dem Konzept »Öffentlichkeit« eine zentrale Rolle in der Soziologie zu verschaffen, die ihm in den Augen von Imhof vor allem deswegen zukommt, weil Öffentlichkeit die unabdingbare Basis von Demokratie ist.

description: Objectives: To investigate the acceptability and feasibility of using end-of-life (EOL) care pathways in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). Design, setting and participants: Multistage action research approach involving interviews, surveys and prospective audits of deaths and EOL care pathway use among residents and staff of RACFs and associated general practitioners from 14 RACFs in Victoria and South Australia between April 2009 and July 2010. Intervention: Introduction of EOL care pathways. Main outcome measures: Evidence of acceptability was determined by the rate of pathway use in RACFs and through feedback from RACF managers, staff and GPs. Evidence of feasibility was determined by reductions in transfers to hospital for symptom management before death, length of time on pathways, and whether care was consistent with best practice at EOL. Results: The use of EOL care pathways across the RACFs fell into low-, moderate- and high-uptake groups (for 10%, 34% and 68% of all deaths at the facility, respectively). Feedback from RACF staff and GPs indicated that acceptability was critical to successful implementation. The use of EOL care pathways demonstrated improvements in care, sometimes over extended periods. There were fewer unnecessary admissions to hospital before death, although not all RACF staff and GPs were aware of the project. Conclusion: EOL care pathways are feasible strategies for delivering EOL care consistent with best practice. However, their introduction into Australian RACFs needs to include strategies to facilitate acceptability by RACF staff and GPs.

description: Mit seinem Buch »Die Krise der Öffentlichkeit« will Kurt Imhof der Öffentlichkeit den ihr gebührenden Rang in den Sozialwissenschaften verleihen und eine »kommunikationstheoretisch begründete Sozialtheorie« (16) vorlegen. Innerhalb der Öffentlichkeitstheorie soll die traditionell »strukturalistische Engführung« (65) aufgebrochen und das »intentionale Moment der Weltveränderung« (82) stärker betont werden. In den Mittelpunkt rückt dabei die Deliberation als »vernunftgenerierende Kraft« (73). Was an Imhofs Theorieentwurf zu überzeugen vermag, ist zunächst die Syntheseleistung.
