Pflegerische Versorgung alter Menschen
No full textDie Pflege hat eine zentrale Rolle in der Versorgung alter Menschen. Sie trägt dazu bei, dass alte Menschen trotz Einschränkungen, z.B. in der Selbstständigkeit, ein Leben in Würde und Selbstbestimmung führen können. Renommierte Autorinnen und Autoren konkretisieren, welches genau das Ziel der Pflege von alten Menschen sein soll und wie die Qualität in der Langzeitpflege weiterentwickelt und gemessen werden kann. Weitere Beiträge thematisieren Herausforderungen und Konzepte in der spirituellen Begleitung von zu pflegenden Menschen und hinsichtlich des Einsatzes von digitalen Technologien. Schließlich werden rechtliche und qualifikatorische Rahmenbedingungen diskutiert sowie Chancen und Desiderata von Pflegeforschung herausgearbeitet

C.J. Alter Letter from Goodland, Indiana, Addressed to a Young Lady in Union City, Indiana
No full textEstablished in 1861, Goodland was named for the fertile prairie that surrounds it. In 1911, local farmer C.J. Alter, wrote to a Union City Miss. In his letter he described himself and asked permission to correspond with her. The envelope seen here, has a picture of the young lady pasted on the envelope in place of her name. A true testament to Alter's faith in the postal service and its ability to deliver the mail.Destination Indiana Newton County Journe
Alter Ego
No full textGallery-based interactive computer installation, developed in collaboration with computer scientist, Professor Alf Linney (UCL), resulting in a facial recognition system that could mirror and respond an audience member. Project questions the Lacanian concept of an 'alter ego'. Alter Ego was a five-year research project that questioned the concept of an ‘alter ego’. It used a computer installation which
produced a ‘mirror image’ representation of an audience member, but which then apparently took on ‘a life of its own’. The work
played on the Lacanian idea that the ‘ideal-other’ in the mirror is, and is not, the self. Alter Ego also explored the predictability of
the machine as a tool and measuring device.
Research involved developing new ways of recognising and categorising the shape of the face, tracking the features and
classifying their movements into facial expressions, then synthesising both facial appearance and expression on a 3D model. A
new scientific method for analysing facial expression was developed as a result of this project. To their knowledge, Wright and
Linney’s method remains the most robust and successful means of automatically classifying facial expression in real-time. Alter
Ego was presented in a range of contexts including art galleries, science museums, art and technology, and computer games
conferences.
The artistic aims of the project led to new innovations in science and technology and to new software that would be robust in a
public situation. The research process included developing methods for finding and tracking points on the face based on
analysis of video footage. Wright conducted extensive primary research into both spontaneous and conscious generation of
facial expressions and built up a large video database of expressions.
In the research process Wright visited other leading centres working on similar problems, including MIT, Boston and Carnegie
Melon University. Research was carried out during a Fellowship in the Computer Science department at Cambridge University.
The project received ACE funding and Wellcome Trust 'Impact Award'
