description: Objective To estimate the causal effect of pneumonia on the length of stay (LOS) and associated costs during inpatient rehabilitation following an acute spinal cord injury (SCI). Design Prospective multicenter cohort study utilizing a causal inference framework. Setting Ten centers specialized in SCI rehabilitation in high-income countries. Participants Newly injured SCI patients with complete or incomplete lesions at cervical or thoracic levels (C1-T12) admitted for inpatient rehabilitation. Interventions Not applicable. Main Outcome Measures Additional rehabilitation LOS and associated excess costs due to pneumonia. Results The study included 486 patients, predominantly male (76.1%), with a median age of 55 years, who were roughly evenly divided between paraplegia (46.5%) and tetraplegia (53.5%). Experiencing at least one episode of pneumonia was associated with an 11% increase in rehabilitation LOS on average. The resulting excess LOS was 21.3 days (95% CI: 18.9-23.7). The additional LOS due to pneumonia costs, on average, USD 41′812.57 (SD 20′909.73) per patient. Patients with motor complete tetraplegia had the longest rehabilitation LOS, both with and without pneumonia (256.0 days, 95% confidence interval [CI] 226.7–285.2 vs. 228.9, 95% CI 201.6-256.2) and subsequential higher costs. Conclusion Our findings indicate that pneumonia increases the average rehabilitation length of stay by 21 days and incurs additional costs exceeding USD 41′000 per patient in individuals with acute SCI. Early screening and prevention are essential to manage these impacts, especially in patients with motor complete tetraplegia.

description: Corona bremst die Ausbildungspläne junger Menschen aus – dies ist ein zentrales Ergebnis unserer repräsentativen Jugendumfrage, die im Februar/März dieses Jahres durchgeführt wurde. Ausbildung steht zwar nach wie vor hoch im Kurs bei jungen Menschen, aber gleichzeitig ist die Verunsicherung bezüglich der Ausbildungschancen im Vergleich zum Vorjahr nochmals deutlich gewachsen. Und auch in diesem Jahr bekommt die Politik schlechte Noten für das, was sie für Ausbildungsplatzsuchende tut. Viel positiver beurteilen die jungen Menschen dagegen die Studienchancen. Aber es gibt noch viel mehr zu entdecken in den Ergebnissen – zum Beispiel, wie sich die Einschätzungen junger Menschen in Abhängigkeit von ihrem Bildungsstand unterscheiden. Oder welche Unterstützung sie sich bei der Suche nach Ausbildungsplätzen wünschen. Und schließlich, was die jungen Menschen tun werden, wenn es mit der Ausbildung gar nicht klappt. Manche Erwartungen werden bestätigt, aber es gibt auch viele Überraschungen. Neu bei der diesjährigen Befragung ist das Thema Berufsorientierung: Wie gut informieren die einzelnen Schulformen, welche Rolle spielen Eltern und andere Akteure? Was hat sich durch Corona verändert? So viel vorweg: Hauptschulen schneiden besonders gut ab und insgesamt mangelt es den jungen Menschen nicht an Informationen, dafür aber an Wegweisern im Dschungel der Berufsinformationen. Die Bertelsmann Stiftung findet es ungerecht, dass Ausbildungsplatzsuchende mit einer viel schwierigeren Situation konfrontiert sind als diejenigen, die ein Studium aufnehmen wollen. Und natürlich hat sie auch Vorschläge, was dagegen unternommen werden kann. Damit jeder eine Ausbildungschance bekommt und die Wirtschaft die dringend benötigten Fachkräfte.

 Name of the person and religious affiliation. The Arabic name of Muslims
The structure of the name is a set of an element of identity and religious need for the people converted to different religion, who taking in touch with a new religious belief feel the need to reborn in the new faith. Furthermore, for Muslims, possession of Arabic name is prerequisite in order that Allah can recognize them as faithful. Author reconstructs Islamic traditions related to the choice of the name and makes a reference to the obstacles placed between some States for possession of an Arabic name by Muslims to destroy its identity. Finally reports the rules of the Italian civil law on the subject and in those concerned with private international law.

description: In patient-specific biomechanical modeling, the process of image-to-mesh-material mapping is important, and various strategies have been explored for assigning the number of groups of unique material properties to the mesh. This study aims to cross-compare different grouping strategies to identify the minimum number of unique groups necessary for accurately calculating the fracture load of vertebral bones. We analyzed 12 vertebral specimens by experimentally determining the biomechanical fracture load and acquiring corresponding CT scans. After geometry extraction and meshing, we applied commonly used fixed-value strategies for reducing the number of unique groups, such as Modulus Gaping and Percentual Thresholding. Additionally, we introduced a patient-specific adaptive grouping method based on K-means clustering, which allowed us to maintain a consistent number of groups of unique material properties across the study. A total of 204 simulations were performed, achieving a potential 98% reduction in the number of individual material parameters while maintaining a strong correlation with experimental results when utilizing Percentual Thresholding or Adaptive Clustering, compared to Modulus Gaping. The findings demonstrate the feasibility of significantly reducing simulation complexity while maintaining the accuracy of patient-specific models that strongly correlate with experimental results. This reduction enables efficient processing of patient-specific biomechanical models derived from image data, offering potential benefits for clinicians, particularly in resource-constrained settings.

ABSTRACT: At a supranational level, there has been a progressive evolution of the concept of family, which would not seem rooted solely on the traditional concept that refers to heterosexual marriage, nor necessarily requiring the difference in sex of the engaged couple. In Italy, the difficulties encountered in terms of legislative action at a national level, in the purpose of the definition of a legal status to the unions between persons of the same sex, have led, in recent years, many couples to turn to the European Court of Human Rights in order to obtain the recognition, within the italian legal system, of the right to marry for homosexual unions, and the right to the transcript of the marriage or registered partnership concluded abroad. This has generated a lively and stimulating legal and jurisprudential debate. The article aims to reconstruct conceptually the problem raised by the question of "egalitarian marriage", accessible to all couples, regardless of possible gender identity of the contractors, and the resulting answers and solutions offered, in a internal and supranational level, by political and judicial bodies.

The Reformed Church (Early Orthodoxy)
Creators: name: Viner, Wesley
Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)
Year: 2023

description: The period often identified as Reformed orthodoxy (alternatively, Reformed scholasticism) within the history of the Reformed church lasts from approximately 1560 until 1800. It is traditionally subdivided into three shorter periods: early orthodoxy (1560–1620), high orthodoxy (1620–1700), and late orthodoxy (1700–1800). Most historians fix the beginning of early orthodoxy to the transition from the second to the third generation of reformers, as Peter Martyr Vermigli (d. 1562), Wolfgang Musculus (d. 1563), John Calvin (d. 1564), and their second-generation peers were replaced by Theodore Beza, Zacharius Ursinus, Girolamo Zanchi, and others. It was a period of solidification for the Reformed tradition, witnessing the spread of confessional statements of faith—including the Gallic Confession (1559), Belgic Confession (1561), Second Helvetic Confession (1562), Heidelberg Catechism (1563), and eventually the Canons of Dort (1619)—which delineated the boundaries of the Reformed faith and reinforced its differences with other forms of Protestantism. The theology of the period is marked by a return to the scholastic method of the late medieval period and the rise of intra-Reformed disputes about particular theological doctrines (e.g., predestination), a trend which intensified throughout the first half of the seventeenth century as disputes turned increasingly to the minutiae of Reformed theology. The end of early orthodoxy has been located as early as 1620 (with the Canons of Dort serving as the approximate conclusion of the period in Willem van Asselt’s periodization) to as late as the 1640s (with the end of the Thirty Years’ War and the Westminster Assembly marking the transition in Richard Muller’s periodization).

SUMMARY: 1. Introduction – 2. Understanding the complexity: the role of religions in the Indian, Pakistani and Malaysian contexts – 3. The discipline of the religious phenomenon in India: which influences from foreign models in the Constitution? – 4. The Supreme Court and the “essential elements of religion” doctrine – 5.The migration of the Indian essential practice doctrine in Pakistan and Malaysia – 5.1 Interpreting the essential practice doctrine in Pakistan: the long-lasting history of the Ahmadis (non)recognition – 5.2 Cloths and Words always matter. The essential doctrine in Malaysia – 6. Concluding Remarks

Abstract: The Supreme Court of India elaborated the “essential elements doctrine” to ascertain which elements are fundamental for a religious practice and which may be purged, as mere superstition, by the intervention of the State without infringing the principle of State neutrality in religious affairs. The doctrine has been discussed and in some cases applied also by constitutional interpreters in Pakistan and Malaysia, whose Constitutions echo the provisions on freedom of religion of the Union of India but also establish Islam as the religion of the State.
Therefore, the present essay discusses the interpretation of constitutional provisions by the Supreme Court of India in order to introduce the essential elements doctrine as well as its application by the Pakistani and Malaysian Courts with the aim to asses, relying on the theory of cross-fertilization, whether they merely imported the doctrine or adapted it to the national contexts

description: Fare “il passo del gambero” è un detto che può avere un significato alto, di cui è un esempio il libro (dal medesimo titolo) di Günter Grass, autore che va “diritto al cuore delle cose, procedendo … di sghembo attraverso la storia, fra passato e presente” per potere guardare al futuro con la consapevolezza delle vicende vissute da ogni popolo, da ogni persona con fatica, errori, dolore. Ha poi un significato meno nobile, diffuso al punto d’essere assurto a luogo comune, che richiama l'agire di quanti, nell’affrontare le scelte richieste dalla vita, collettive o personali che siano, usino fare (figurativamente) un passo avanti per farne poi alcuni all’indietro. Ora, la vicenda delle unioni civili – e in particolare il tema dell’adozione del figlio del compagno nella coppia di persone dello stesso sesso – avrebbe consentito alla Chiesa italiana di parlare ai fedeli e all’intero paese prescegliendo l’uno o l’altro dei significati.

description: This dissertation offers a feminist decolonial analysis of the power dynamics shaping urban hydro-climate policies in the context of a growing push by the World Bank and other powerful actors to create new opportunities for water-related private investments in the global South. Drawing from the emblematic case of Cape Town, South Africa, this research demonstrates the ways in which finance-driven reforms aimed at making the urban water system more resilient to climate change are intensifying the exploitation of historically marginalized populations – in this case black women living in precarious housing conditions in townships and informal settlements. My investigation into Cape Town’s deepening entanglements with global finance through climate/water resilience strategies foregrounds the experiences of women organizing for water justice in the underserviced margins of the city. To do so, I adopted a collaborative feminist approach combining qualitative field research with critical policy analysis. I conducted 43 semi-structured interviews with women organizers and participated in meetings and events organized by grassroots networks over the course of two visits to Cape Town in 2018 and 2019. The findings of this ethnographic research then shaped the parameters of a critical policy analysis in which 21 documents (technical reports, strategic plans, etc. produced by the City of Cape Town and various public-private policy institutions) were examined with the day-to-day experiences, acts of resistance and aspirations of frontline women in mind. Building theory from ‘situated solidarities’ and through the prism of ‘a black sense of place’, I argue that water/climate resilience policies claiming to modernize or “future-proof” the City have further entrenched apartheid geographies of social reproduction in Cape Town. By centering marginalized perspectives, this study contributes to feminist efforts towards the heterogenization of urban political ecology.

ABSTRACT: With a smile on the lips. The satire between freedom of expression and duty of respect

This paper argues for a liberal perspective about satire, rejecting the idea that satire should not have constraints, and trying to ground this perspective on a more articulate argument than the mere reference to the relevance of freedom of expression in Western societies.
I will proceed in this way. In Section 2, I will clarify what satire is, and how it is connected to freedom of expression. Section 3 will be devoted to analyze the relationship between humour and respect, and to explain why satire is morally more problematic than liberals usually think. In Section 4 I will suggest that satire against religion can be sometimes considered a lack of respect for people who believe in that religion. In Section 5 I will argue against restricting satire, even if it is seriously disrespectful, producing two different arguments for two different situations: when the victim can be considered “a powerful person”, and when he/she can be considered “a disadvantaged person”.

Astronomers in Babylon

Year: 2022

description: Scribes residing in Babylon and associated with the Esagila, the temple of Marduk in Babylon, and producing numerous kinds of astronomical texts, most prominently the Astronomical Diaries and the mathematical astronomical texts (referred to as ACT in modern scholarship). Their collective identity and their capacity, particularly early on, is not entirely clear. Initially, these scribes were most likely part of the prebendary system, an inherited, part-time privilege in which certain families and individuals had duties to serve the gods on certain days of the month or the year, including but not exclusively celestial observation. In return, they were given a share of the temple offerings. Following the failed rebellion against Persian rule in the 5th century, the prebendary system was abolished. After a period of recuperation, the Esagila was re-organized and governed by guild-like professional associations, one of which bore the title of “scribes of Enūma Anu Enlil” (the celestial omens series), the closest equivalent to the term “astronomer” in the cuneiform record. These individuals received some kind of monthly payment referred to as kurummatu-rations.

description: In December 2020, the Council of the European Union adopted the EU’s long-term budget for the years 2021 to 2027. With a share of 31 percent of the total budget (around 330 billion Euro), cohesion policy remains an important priority area. Given the large amount of resources dedicated to reduce economic and social disparities between European regions, it is essential to learn about the impact of different funding instruments in previous budgetary periods. In this project, we illustrate a novel approach of evaluating the economic effects of the European Regional Development Fund and the Cohesion Fund since 2007. For a selected pilot region in the border area of the Czech Republic, Germany and Poland we collect data on EU funding at the municipality level. Using night light emission data as a proxy for economic development, we show that the receipt of a higher amount of EU funding is associated with higher growth in these areas. The results of this project suggest that remote sensing data can be used effectively to capture the small-scale impact of place-based policies on economic development, even in a pan-European context.
description: Im Dezember 2020 hat der Rat der Europäischen Union die Verordnung zur Festlegung des Mehrjährigen Finanzrahmens 2021-2027 angenommen. Mit einem Anteil von 31 Prozent am Gesamthaushalt (rund 330 Mrd. Euro) bleibt die Kohäsionspolitik ein zentraler Schwerpunktbereich der EU. Angesichts der umfangreichen Mittel, die für den Abbau wirtschaftlicher und sozialer Ungleichheiten zwischen den europäischen Regionen bereitgestellt werden, ist es wichtig, aus empirischen Erkenntnissen über die Auswirkungen der Regionalförderungen in früheren Haushaltsperioden zu lernen. In diesem Projekt entwickeln wir einen neuen Ansatz, um die Effekte des Europäischen Fonds für Regionale Enwicklung und des Kohäsionsfonds auf das regionale Wirtschaftswachstum seit 2007 zu schätzen. Für eine ausgewählte Pilotregion im Grenzgebiet von Deutschland, Polen und Tschechien erheben wir Daten zur EU-Förderung auf Gemeindeebene. Unter Verwendung von Nachtlichtdaten zur Erfassung der wirtschaftlichen Entwicklung zeigen wir, dass der Erhalt eines höheren Förderbetrags mit höherem Wachstum einhergeht. Die Ergebnisse dieses Projekts zeigen, dass Fernerkundungsdaten effektiv genutzt werden können, um die kleinräumigen Auswirkungen regionaler Wirtschaftsförderung auch im gesamteuropäischen Kontext zu quantifizieren.

Abstract: The wide evolution of private international law is currently recalling attention to the general aspects of the discipline. Europeanization and globalisation of sources of private international law do not preclude the chance that conflict of laws should also deal with individual identities. To the extent that the European systems have hitherto offered to the application of foreign laws, we are faced with the problem of survival in Europe of an idea of the personality of laws. In fact it’s generally accepted that conflict of laws faces the individual identities of people involved in international relations. Cultural identity may be considered collective and individual at the same time, because each member of the group has an identity of its own. Religious values ontribute to defining the cultural identity of individuals: be it in Europe or other countries, cultures, values, civilization, religion, are never absent from the solutions of personal status. Stepping back from the analysis of some cases where religious values are relevant, this Article aims at a theoretical analysis of the subject, involving the contrast between value pluralism, conflict of laws and fundamental rights.

description: Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) have been developed to measure a patient’s subjectively perceived health status in an objective manner. PROMs have generated wide stakeholder interest globally, and several countries have implemented PROMs into their health systems to different degrees. Our study offers an international comparison of PRO-data use and elaborates on what Germany can learn from other countries.
Enhancing knowledge workers' well-being and productivity: a mindful co-working design approach

description: Knowledge workers, whose optimal performance necessitates periods of deep, uninterrupted focus, are confronted with significant challenges in today's work environment. Their roles demand not only uninterrupted focus but also active collaboration and communication with their peers, often through the very digital tools that disrupt their focus. Drawing on Self-Determination Theory, we propose Mindful Co-Working Design (MCD) as an innovative intervention that integrates mindfulness into co-working spaces, along with a set of individual strategies (i.e., managing interruptions, taking regular breaks, and goal setting), to mitigate the negative impacts of these challenges. This study evaluated the feasibility and effectiveness of MCD using mixed methods, including quantitative online surveys and qualitative experience reports, with 91 participants (part-time students working alongside their studies) in teams of two to five, randomly assigned to either a mindful co-working condition (n = 44) or a co-working only condition (n = 47). Quantitative results indicated significant improvements in job satisfaction and positive affect, alongside reductions in negative affect and perceived stress in both conditions. Interestingly, while no significant differences emerged between conditions for positive outcomes, the MCD condition was more effective in reducing negative outcomes. Qualitative findings, based on inductive coding of 40 experience reports, further supported these results. Participants reported that MCD diminished stress, enhanced well-being, improved concentration and goal accomplishment, and promoted respectful interactions. These findings highlight the value of MCD in addressing the dual demands of deep work and collaboration, offering actionable strategies for organizations aiming to support the well-being and productivity of knowledge workers. Keywords Knowledge Workers • Work Design • Mindfulness • Co-Working • Well-being • Productivity Knowledge workers are employed because of their knowledge of a subject matter, rather than their ability to perform manual labor (Serrat 2017). They are characterized by their high levels of expertise, education, skills, or experience (Serrat 2017; Weekes and Eskridge 2020) and the use of information technology as an integral part of their work process (Pyöriä 2005, 2006), which enables them to perform cognitively demanding tasks. Unlike other occupational groups, knowledge workers' productivity hinges on sustained focus, creativity, and effective decision-making, Dandan Pang

description: Patient Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs) dienen dazu, den von Patienten subjektiv wahrgenommenen Gesundheitszustand im Verlauf oder nach einer Behandlung mess- und vergleichbar zu machen. Damit tragen sie zur Qualitätsverbesserung und mehr Patientenorientierung im Gesundheitswesen bei. PROMs haben weltweit großes Interesse bei Klinikern, Patienten und der Politik geweckt. Mehrere Länder haben sie in unterschiedlichem Umfang in ihr Gesundheitssystem integriert. In Deutschland haben einzelne Akteure die Anwendung von PROMs bereits angestoßen. Es handelt sich aber oft um singuläre Initiativen, die bisher keine formelle Verankerung im Gesundheitssystem erfahren haben. Die Studie „Patient-Reported Outcome Measures (PROMs): ein internationaler Vergleich“ zeigt anhand internationaler Beispiele Herausforderungen und Erfolgsstrategien für die Umsetzung von PROMs in Deutschland auf.
Epic of Gilgamesh

Publisher: name: Database of Religious History (DRH)

description: The Epic of Gilgamesh is a Babylonian narrative poem that recounts the adventures of the eponymous King Gilgamesh, the legendary ruler of the city state of Uruk. Stories about Gilgamesh were told from at least the 21st century BCE to the second century CE in a variety of formats, including a Sumerian cycle of poems, an epic poem in Akkadian, prose versions in Hittite and Hurrian, and visual depictions, not to mention oral retellings that have not survived in the archeological record. The Babylonian epic developed continuously from the early second to the early first millennium BCE. Scholars recognize three main phases: an Old Babylonian epic that is imperfectly preserved; a Middle Babylonian phase of revision and experimentation; and an edited version in the Standard Babylonian language, composed around the 11th century BCE. The latter version, consisting of twelve Tablets (the twelfth of which forms an appendix to the main narrative of the first eleven), is the best-preserved and best-known account of Gilgamesh's story. The epic can be divided into two parts, the first of which tells of Gilgamesh's love and triumphs, the second of his loss and failures. Gilgamesh is a restless, tyrannic king in Uruk, and the gods send the wild man Enkidu to befriend and distract him. The two become close friends, possibly lovers, and set off on a series of heroic adventures, killing the monster Humbaba and the Bull of Heaven. But halfway through the epic, Enkidu dies, and the second half of the story relates Gilgamesh's profound grief and his ultimately futile attempt to achieve immortality.
