Entwicklung von Pflege-Wohngemeinschaften für Menschen mit Demenz und deren Perspektiven im Hinblick auf den demographischen Wandel
Full text linkMitte der 1990er Jahre wurde die erste Pflege-Wohngemeinschaft für Menschen mit Demenz (MmD) in Berlin gegründet. Seither sind in Deutschland zahlreiche Pflege-Wohngemeinschaften entstanden, im vierstelligen Bereich, etwa zwischen 3.500 und 4.000, selbst ohne spezielle Ausrichtung. Diese Entwicklung wurde insbesondere durch das Pflege-Neuausrichtungsgesetz (PNG) im Jahr 2012 maßgeblich beschleunigt. Aufgrund des demographischen Wandels, mit der Verrentung der geburtenstarken Jahrgänge und der gleichzeitig ansteigenden pflegebedürftigen Gesellschaft ist die Sicherstellung der Gesundheitsversorgung als eine große gesellschaftliche Herausforderung der nächsten Jahre zu sehen. Gleichsam verändern sich Familienstrukturen, so dass die häusliche Pflege durch An- und Zugehörige nicht mehr als fester Bestandteil der Betreuungs- und Sorgearbeit angenommen werden kann. Das Konzept der Pflege-Wohngemeinschaften scheint zusätzlich stimmig zu sein mit den Vorstellungen von Pflege und Wohnen im Alter der neuen alternden Generation, da Individualität, Autonomie und Selbstbestimmung im Vordergrund stehen.Abstract
The first residential care community for people with dementia was founded in Berlin in the mid-1990s. Since then, numerous residential care communities have been established in Germany, even without a special focus, in the four-digit range between 3,500 and 4,000. In particular, this development was significantly accelerated by the Care Reorganisation Act (PNG) in 2012. Due to demographic change, with the retirement of the baby boomers and the simultaneous rise in the number of people requiring care, securing healthcare provision must be seen as a major social challenge in the coming years. At the same time, family structures are changing, so that home care by relatives can no longer be accepted as an integral part of caring work. The concept of residential care communities also appears to be consistent with the ideas of care and living in old age of the new ageing generation, as individuality, autonomy and self-determination are at the forefront.
Research question
This dissertation examines the current development of residential care communities for people with dementia and their perspective in the context of demographic change. However, it is only partially possible to fully answer the underlying question. The lack of transparency regarding the number and specific orientation of residential care communities makes it difficult to clearly identify trends at state and national level.
Methodological approach
An extensive literature review was conducted on the topic, the results of which are analysed in detail.
Results and findings
Due to considerable differences in the distribution of small-scale residential care arrangements at a national level and the lack of valid data, it is currently not possible to make concrete statements about current developments or the future prospects of outpatient residential communities. The identification of dementia residential communities in particular poses a major challenge, as people with dementia can also live in residential care communities, although these do not have to be explicitly designated as dementia residential communities. In addition, the availability of coordination and advice centres for shared care homes is not guaranteed in every federal state, which makes start-up projects more difficult and underlines the above-mentioned lack of transparency. Within the analysis, this results in four recommendations for action relating to security of supply, planning security, sustainability, and counselling structures. If the recommendations for action are observed and taken into account, a structured supply and demand management system can be derived that strengthens a further branch of care that will certainly be needed in the future alongside the established structures of outpatient and inpatient long-term care
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
