Defining ecosystems in person-centred integrated long-term care : a scoping review
No full textBackround and Objectives
This scoping review aims to derive a comprehensive understanding of existing ecosystems in long-term care (LTC) associated with approaches to person-centred (PC) integrated care (IC). The review addresses the research question of which factors and attributes can be ascribed to such an ecosystem. Specifically, it seeks to explore the role of social, regulatory, and technical factors and attributes within this context.
Design and Methods
To explore and delineate the factors and attributes of ecosystems for PC-IC, we conducted a scoping review [1] in alignment with PRISMA-ScR guidelines [2]. Using a defined PCC scheme [3], we searched for evidence defining ecosystems of IC for LTC across six databases: Medline via PubMed, Cinahl, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, Scopus, and EconLit. The literature search, conducted from May to August 2024, focused on publications from 2014 to the present.
Results
Out of 1,862 publications, 37 were included in the review. The scoping review indicates that ecosystems for person-centred integrated long-term care can be represented through various contextual factors. Key internal factors include organisational and structural items, as well as items referring to technical and digital infrastructures. External factors encompass regulatory requirements within and beyond the healthcare sector, market conditions, as well as societal norms and social care systems. The preliminary findings further underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, considering the diverse perspectives of care recipients and both formal and informal caregivers.
Conclusion
The analysis of contextual factors demonstrates that person-centred integrated care in LTC is shaped by the interplay of adequate internal and external factors. The combined influence of internal structures and external requirements is crucial to ensuring person-centred integrated care in LTC. Further research is needed to address a specific mode of interplay between those factors.

Conservation and ecological screening of small water bodies in temperate riverine wetlands using UAV Photogrammetry (Middle Danube)
No full textAquatic ecosystems in riverine wetlands are important refuges and nurseries for freshwater biota. Given the significant global loss and degradation of wetlands, regular conservation assessments of these habitats, even in not easily accessible regions, are crucial for implementing effective management. Thus, developing cost-effective approaches for rapid ecological and conservation screening of water bodies in floodplains, such as the Danube, is a priority. One potential solution is the use of UAV-based (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) ecological indicators to complement existing monitoring frameworks. This paper aims to explore whether UAV-based macrophyte data can provide a more precise indication of the trophic state and conservation indices (assessed through fish and macroinvertebrate communities) of temperate wetland lentic ecosystems, compared to traditional field surveys. The fieldwork was conducted during the summer months of 2019 at 23 sampling sites within eight lentic water bodies located in three wetland areas along the Middle Danube in Serbia. Data on aquatic vegetation, fish, and macroinvertebrate communities, and samples for water quality analysis were collected simultaneously. UAV images were acquired using an RGB camera. Orthomosaics were processed using supervised object-based image (OBIA) classification to obtain a single vector layer with macrophyte functional groups and taxa. Macrophyte cover metrics obtained during the fieldwork and UAV data processing were correlated against water quality parameters and conservation indices calculated for fish and macroinvertebrate assemblages. The study demonstrated that UAV photogrammetry can provide relatively precise measurements of macrophyte cover characteristics compared to traditional plot-based monitoring methods, making it effective for assessing aquatic ecosystems. The analysis revealed that sites with high values of fish and macroinvertebrate conservation indices, optimal oxygen conditions, and mesotrophic states were associated with UAV orthomosaic polygons showing relatively high macrophyte functional diversity and a presence of floating-rooted species. Conversely, sites experiencing eutrophication and a poor oxygen regime with species-poor fish assemblages correlated positively with a higher cover of amphibian and free-floating vegetation, as well as filamentous algae. In conclusion, UAV photogrammetry offers a cost-effective method to monitor aquatic habitats along large river floodplains, including those that are not easily accessible
Lost and Re-Emerging Knowledge : the Role of Rurality and (Non-)Rurality in Two Sisters’ Post-Migrant Narratives of their Parents’ Second World War Forced Labour
No full textThis article investigates differences in two half-sisters’ (Anita Diestler and Schenja Wrobel) narratives about their (step-)parents’ forced migration and subsequent employment as forced labourers, as well as their own experiences as members of a post-migrant generation. The half-sisters were born as Heimatlose Ausländer (a specific type of ‘stateless foreigner’) in Bavarian villages in the late 1950s and early 1960s, respectively. Diestler was still living there when she was interviewed, while Wrobel had moved to a town in Hesse, another West German federal state, when she was eighteen. Diestler’s report is an example of a narrative embedded in hermetic rural social structures that are part of her implicit knowledge. By contrast, Wrobel, who had left ‘the village’, talks for hours about her parents’ experiences, especially her mother’s life in Ukraine, the characteristics of forced labour on a farm, and her own living conditions as a Heimatlose Ausländer in West Germany. The analysis of the interviews leads to the conclusion that explicit knowledge that emerges from autobiographical storytelling is disappearing in ‘the village’ where the half-sisters grew up, but re-emerging in a different, non-rural, place. Additionally, this article demonstrates that ‘the village’ is not a part of post-migrant society even though both interviewees belong to a post-migrant generation
Environmental Psychology
No full textEnvironmental Psychology deals with human-environment interactions as relationships between the physical-material and sociocultural outer world, as well as human experience and behavior. This fully revised second edition provides a well-structured, clearly understandable overview of the topics and developments of this increasingly significant sub-discipline of psychology and makes it clear that environmental psychology is a highly relevant field of research and application in the present and future
Big six personality traits in the Africa Long Life Study
No full textWe explored Big Six personality traits and their correlates among 18-year-olds from Kenya, Namibia, and South Africa (N = 1,746). Established Big-Five and Six-inventories contain culture-specific phrasing and lack fit and measurement invariance in Africa. Using the original maker terms from diverse lexical studies used to build the HEXACO, we created new, single-term Big Six scales with good fit and measurement invariance across countries, which we used to explore concurrent and predictive associations with mental/physical health, and religiosity. Results for Honesty, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, and Openness replicated findings from North America and Europe, while Extraversion and Emotionality did not, indicating more cultural-specificity. Our method represents a middle path between imported and culture-specific personality research, a promising approach for cross-cultural research
Understanding and Enhancing Human-Voice Assistant Collaboration : Developing and Validating a Collaboration Intensity Scale
No full textThe collaboration between humans and voice assistants (VAs) is increasingly relevant in both professional and everyday contexts. However, valid measures to capture users’ behavioral contributions to this collaboration are lacking. This study introduces a behavior-based scale to measure collaboration intensity—the extent to which users engage effectively and productively with VAs in collaborative tasks. Two surveys (N1 = 319; N2 = 321) and Item Response Theory were used to develop and validate a 30-item scale with high reliability (EAP = .79/.88) and good item fit, alongside a 12-item short version (EAP = .77). Construct validation showed positive correlations with technology acceptance and negative correlations with commitment to informational self-determination. The scale also demonstrated predictive validity and an association with extraversion. The Collaboration Intensity Scale offers researchers and practitioners a tool to assess and enhance human–VA collaboration by identifying behavioral patterns and informing the design of more effective VA features
Introducing German Pre-Service Teachers to the Topic of Artificial Intelligence Through Multimodal and Inclusive Learning Paths
No full textThis chapter proposes multimodal and inclusive learning paths rooted in the theory of Learning by Design (LbyD) as one possible solution to meet contemporary educational challenges caused by complex technological developments, such as artificial intelligence (AI). It shows how principles of inclusive learning design were adapted in an English as an additional language (EAL) teacher training seminar conducted at a German university in the summer of 2022. The seminar was designed as a twofold learning by design experience, with pre-service teachers switching roles from being learners in a university-based teacher training seminar to becoming teachers at a local grammar school. Their gathered research results were presented in the form of four academic posters and made available to the local researching and teaching community in an exhibition at the university's library hall. All pre-service teachers completed the learning path successfully. Documentation of their learning cycles showed that this course design, which actively integrates theory and practice of foreign language learning and teaching, has the potential to be reused also in other language learning contexts
Lebensmittelrettung in alternativen Ernährungsnetzwerken am Beispiel der Plattform Too Good To Go : ein Dialog zwischen Praktikentheorie und Diverse Economies
No full textDer Beitrag untersucht auf Grundlage originärer empirischer Befunde die Praktik der Lebensmittelrettung mit der App Too Good To Go (TGTG), nach Angaben des gleichnamigen Unternehmens die weltweit größte B2C-Plattform für überschüssige Lebensmittel. Wir gehen dabei der Frage nach, inwieweit die mit der Nutzung der App verbundenen Praktiken der Lebensmittelrettung tatsächlich Veränderungen in unserem gegenwärtigen Ernährungssystem anstoßen können. Konzeptionell verknüpfen wir dafür praxistheoretische Überlegungen mit einer Diverse Economies-Perspektive. Dieser Zugang ermöglicht einen neuen Blick darauf, wie die Eingebundenheit in das „Praktiken-Konglomerat“ TGTG betriebliche Abläufe hinsichtlich Food Waste rekonfiguriert und welche Herausforderungen mit einer in klassische Marktlogiken eingebundenen Strategie der Lebensmittelrettung einhergehen
Un/solidarische Waldorte : Kontrollanstrengungen und mehr-als-menschliche Widerständigkeiten im und um den Nationalpark Schwarzwald
No full textBasierend auf konzeptionellen Überlegungen zu Verortungen und der Akteur-Netzwerk-Theorie untersucht der Beitrag die mehr-als-menschliche Konstitution von Waldorten im und um den Nationalpark Schwarzwald. Menschliche und nicht-menschliche Entitäten, Gesetze, technische Geräte und Infrastrukturen und ko-konstituieren, materiell und diskursiv, dynamische Netzwerke unterschiedlicher Waldorte. Anhand des Borkenkäfermanagements sowie des Umgangs mit Auerwild und Brombeeren analysieren wir die komplexen Verflechtungen zwischen den Akteuren sowie mehr als menschlichen Widerstände gegen auf Kontrolle und Beherrschung abzielende menschliche b/ordering Anstrengungen und beleuchten erste „wilde Experimente“ zur Aufgabe menschlicher Kontrollansprüche, die ein solidarischeres Zusammenleben der Arten im Schwarzwald ermöglichen könnten
Jugendpastoral : nachhaltig und digital
No full textDie ökologische Krise und die Veränderungen durch den Prozess der Digitalisierungen sind zwei Phänomene der Gegenwart, die in unterschiedlicher Art und Weise das Leben junger Menschen beeinflussen. Der vorliegende Band untersucht, wie die Spiritualität und Pädagogik der Salesianer Don Boscos helfen können, diese Herausforderungen kompetent zu bewältigen. Das Leben in der digitalen Welt innovativ, relational und ganzheitlich zu gestalten, ist eine Zielorientierung für die Pädagogik heute. In der salesianischen Tradition gehören Schöpfungsverantwortung und erlebnisorientierte Bildungsprozesse eng zusammen. Daher ist auch Bildung für Nachhaltigkeit ein wichtiges Ziel, um jungen Menschen – gerade auch Jugendliche an den Rändern der Gesellschaft – ein gutes Leben zu ermöglichen. Bestehende Konzepte und Erkenntnisse und Ansätze verschiedener Disziplinen miteinander ins Gespräch zu bringen, ist ein Anliegen des vorliegenden Bandes
