Validation of the symptom and problem checklist of the german hospice and palliative care evaluation (hope)
No full textContext. The German Hospice and Palliative Care Evaluation (HOPE) is a national, long-term quality assurance project. Every year, German hospice and palliative care institutions document a core data set for their patients for a period of three months. Objectives. To validate the multidimensional symptom and problem checklist (HOPE-SP-CL) of the core data set and report details on reliability and validity. Methods. Data from yearly evaluation periods between 2002 and 2009 were used to calculate construct and convergent validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and documentation discipline and acceptance of the core documentation system. Results. The HOPE-SP-CL includes items on physical, nursing, psychological, and social symptoms and problems. Factor analysis extracted four low to moderately intercorrelating factors with eigenvalues greater than 1.0 explaining 56% of the total variance. Discriminant validity of the HOPE-SP-CL showed good properties in detecting patient groups with different symptom intensities and overall symptom burden using the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status and primary cancer diagnosis as external validation criteria. The global sum score of the HOPE-SP-CL correlated most closely with the Palliative Outcome Scale staff version (r = 0.750). Internal consistencies ranged between alpha = 0.768-0.801 at three different times of assessment. Test-retest coefficients showed moderate to high correlations at one-week intervals. Conclusion. Analyses of reliability and validity of the HOPE-SP-CL showed satisfactory to good psychometric properties; therefore, the HOPE-SP-CL can be recommended for standard implementation in German hospice and palliative care institutions.

Immanuel Kant : Gesammelte Schriften. 1. Abt.: Werke. Bd. 1.: Schriften 1747-1756. 2. Auflage
No full textDie Akademie-Gesamtausgabe der Schriften Immanuel Kants gilt seit ihrem Erscheinen als wissenschaftliche Referenzausgabe für das kantische Werk. Doch insbesondere die Abteilung I mit den von Kant selbst veröffentlichten Werken kann in der vorliegenden, zwischen 1902 und 1923 erschienen Form diese Aufgabe nicht mehr erfüllen. In Forschung und Studium werden ihr seit Längerem andere Ausgaben vorgezogen. Dies hat, neben zahlreichen Mängeln im Detail, vor allem zwei Gründe: Erstens folgt sie den Regeln der preußischen Schulrechtschreibung um 1900 und greift damit erheblich in die Originaltexte ein. Zweitens verwendet sie für die deutschsprachigen Texte Frakturschrift, die für jüngere und ausländische Lesende kaum noch lesbar ist. Eine Neuedition nach aktuellen Editionsstandards war daher lange überfällig und liegt nun endlich vor.
Für die Neuedition wurden die kantischen Schriften historisch-kritisch, nach den Leitlinien der Originaltreue, Benutzerfreundlichkeit und Transparenz, neu ediert. Der edierte Text präsentiert sich in Antiqua statt in Fraktur; der textkritische Apparat steht am Fuß der Seite. Varianten anderer Auflagen und der Vergleich mehrerer Exemplare des edierten Originals werden ebenso wie die Eingriffe der Editionsgeschichte umfassend dokumentiert. Sacherläuterungen erleichtern das Verständnis des Textes; im Editorischen Bericht wird über seine Entstehungs- und Überlieferungsgeschichte, über seine Besonderheiten sowie über die Arbeitsweise beim Edieren informiert. Ein Personenregister und ein Literaturverzeichnis schließen jede Edition ab. Dokumentationen und Zusatzmaterialien wie Konjekturen- und Variantentabellen sowie Druckfehler-Verzeichnisse werden parallel zur Druckausgabe online veröffentlicht.
Die Neuedition genügt endlich den Anforderungen an eine internationale Referenzausgabe der Werke Kants
History, Freedom, and Normativity in Cassirer
No full textWhether and to what extent Ernst Cassirer’s philosophy of culture contains a normative element for the proper evaluation of symbolic forms is a central question in Cassirer interpretation. In this paper, my aim is to specify the nature of this normative element. I not only assert the existence of a real normative dimension in the philosophy of culture, but also specify the nature of its main element: the concept of freedom. The concept of freedom in Cassirer is by no means an explicit facet of his systematic thought. However, this does not indicate that this is not an important part of his system. Rather, it might mean that Cassirer either thought it so basic he didn’t need to explicate it or he thought that it would be made clear through his exposition of symbolic forms. I will proceed by arguing for a “normative space” in Cassirer’s philosophy of culture. By “normative space” I mean a certain limitation to the philosophy of culture that makes room for the free act of the cultural agent for which she is responsible. In other words, by “normative space” I mean to suggest that Cassirer meant to leave room, and a prominent seat, for the normative element in the philosophy of culture. After establishing this, I will suggest that this normative task in the philosophy of culture is, from a first-person perspective, inevitably connected to the descriptive task, but from a third-person perspective, conceptually distinct. I will then move to better define what I take to be the main value of the normative task: freedom. The freedom that Cassirer defends is an ethical conception understood as both a constitutive norm for cultural action and a regulative ideal for the evaluation of cultural objects. Understanding freedom in this way allows us to conceive of it both as a fundamental phenomenon and an evaluative standard
