Palliative care of people with culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds
No full textZusammenfassung Zahlreiche Faktoren (sprachliche Barrieren, kulturelle und religiöse Unterschiede, niedriger sozioökonomischer Status, niedriges Bildungsniveau, fehlende Unterstützung durch traditionelle Gemeinschaften, Trauma‑/Verlusterfahrungen) können die Betreuung von lebensverkürzend erkrankten Kindern und Jugendlichen mit kulturell und sprachlich diversem Hintergrund beeinflussen. Ein überwiegend gut etabliertes Netzwerk bestehender Palliativ- und Hospizeinrichtungen erlaubt die integrierte Versorgung und vorausschauende Versorgungsplanung von betroffenen Familien. Eine empathische (auch nonverbale) Kommunikation, der kontinuierliche, offene Dialog sowie interkulturelle Kompetenz bilden die Basis für den Aufbau und die Erhaltung stabiler emotionaler Bindungen zwischen Betroffenen und Betreuungspersonen und die Entwicklung von Bewältigungsstrategien.Abstract Numerous parameters (language barriers, cultural and religious differences, low socioeconomic and educational statuses, lack of traditional community support, traumatic and loss experiences) can influence the palliative care of children and adolescents with life-limiting diseases and culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. A predominantly well-established network of palliative and hospice care services enables the integrated management and advance care planning for affected families. An empathic (also nonverbal) communication, continuous open dialogue and intercultural competence form the basis for the establishment and maintenance of stable emotional relationships between patients, families and palliative care providers and the development of coping strategies.Zusammenfassung Zahlreiche Faktoren (sprachliche Barrieren, kulturelle und religiöse Unterschiede, niedriger sozioökonomischer Status, niedriges Bildungsniveau, fehlende Unterstützung durch traditionelle Gemeinschaften, Trauma‑/Verlusterfahrungen) können die Betreuung von lebensverkürzend erkrankten Kindern und Jugendlichen mit kulturell und sprachlich diversem Hintergrund beeinflussen.

Jack Alive / Martin Dead : The Location of the "Author" in Jack London\u27s Martin Eden
No full textThis essay is an attempt to read Martin Eden, Jack Londonʼs autobiographical novel, in terms of the inextricable relationship between the author and the protagonist. Critics have often taken the unbalanced plot and the lack of ironic distance between narrator and character in Martin Eden as the technical weakness of London, but this paper argues that the achievement of this novel owes a great deal to the attachment of London to Martin. The unbalanced structure is a necessary product of the severe struggle of the author to kill his romantic alter ego. // Martin, who aspires to win Ruth Morse, tries to cross class boundaries by making a career of a writer. Even after realizing the emptiness of Ruth, who turns out to be nothing but a typical figure of the bourgeoisie, he somehow persists in loving her. The notion underlying here is that, for Martin, love, career and art are fundamentally inseparable. He objects to the aestheteʼs view of Brissenden on account of his separation of art from career. Martinʼs identity and life consist only in the triunity of love/career/art; the alternative is the repudiation of life. Thus, the unnatural delay of his disappointment in love can be regarded as Londonʼs strategy to set the suicide of Martin as the necessary consequence of the story. // By finishing the story and killing Martin, London finally detaches himself from Martin, reconstructs his self, and, unlike Martin, survives as a professional writer. In this sense, Martin Eden is a story about “writerʼs self-reconstruction.

Secondary Solid Malignancies After High-Grade Glioma Treatment in Pediatric Patients
No full textDue to the poor survival in high-grade glioma (HGG), secondary solid malignancies (SSM) following pediatric HGG are scarce. The authors present the experience from the HIT-HGG database in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. Five out of 1228 pediatric HGG patients developed a SSM following a latency of 29-122 months from primary HGG diagnosis. In 4 patients, the SSM may be attributed to previous radiotherapy or a tumor predisposition syndrome, reflected by a markedly increased cumulative incidence rate of SSM in patients with tumor predisposition. Survival was devastating, since none of the patients survived beyond 18 months from SSM diagnosis
Experiences Using Large Scale Video Walls for Distance Education
No full textWe describe our experiences building and using the Rutgers Videowall, a low-cost telepresence system that has been used teaching 15 courses and colloquia. By relaxing typical spatial telepresence features, such as background continuity, we greatly reduced costs and gained flexibility in the rooms it could be deployed in. The lower costs and room flexibility enabled academic departments to use the wall, in contrast to traditional telepresence systems which remained inaccessible. We found that the Videowall’s spatial distortions did not have a significant impact on useability, as our initial survey results show that students had an overall positive experience.Technical report DCS-tr-72
