R.S. Peters' Comprehensive Theory of Moral Education
No full textThis article presents R.S. Peters’ theory of moral education embedded in his broad conception of morality. The author examines Peters’ views against the background of Kohlberg’s stage theory of moral development; hence, the positions of both thinkers are interwoven throughout the discussion. It addresses some central issues relevant to moral education such as, for example: cognitive and affective aspects of morality, and the acquisition of virtues. In the article the author argues that Peters’ account of moral development and moral education provides supplementation for the somewhat narrow theory developed by Kohlberg, thus establishing a broader framework relevant to moral education.status: Publishe

Wing length (<i>n</i> =10) 2.5–3.4 mm (avg=3.1). <b>Terminalia</b> (Figs 4, 6, 8, 10): Gonostylus slightly shorter, ca. 2.5X longer than greatest height, considerably less tapered apically and with shorter and sparser setae on medial surface. Basal gonocoxal lobe appearing more protrusive from dorsal gonocoxal margin in lateral view.</p> <p> <b>Female</b>. <b>Wing</b> length (<i>n</i> =8) 2.7–3.7 mm (avg=3.3). Indistinguishable from those of <i>D. falcata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b> and several other similarly colored, related species.</p> <p> <b>Distribution and bionomics.</b> Attempts by the author to collect material from near the type locality in Illinois (Havana) and paratype locality (environs of Rochester, MN) were unfruitful. Streams in and around Havana, IL, are heavily degraded and inaccessible due to co-opting for agricultural production. New collections of this species broadened its known range to the east to include southern portions of Indiana and Illinois and southwesterly into Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma (Fig. 14). It likely also occurs in the Arkansas Ozarks as well as northern Kentucky. <i>Dixa repanda</i> appears to be multivoltine and likely typically overwinters as eggs, although one female examined taken near Manhattan, Kansas, was observed under a rock in mid-December. Larvae mature as early as March in the southern portion of the range. This species occurs in spring-fed streams (Fig. 13) very similar to those preferred by <i>D. falcata</i> <b>sp. nov.</b>, and they likely co-inhabit streams somewhere in the Ozark/Quachita region.</p> <p> <b>Remarks.</b> Several issues hampered the author’s elucidation of the identity of this species. Firstly, the illustration of the male terminalia in Peters & Cook (1966, fig. 47) in lateral view does not accurately reflect the shape of the gonostylus. Secondly, the slide-mounted terminalia of the male holotype could not be located in the USNM and are presumed lost. Thirdly, the two paratype males could not be located and may also be lost. Lastly, attempts to collect streams in the environs of Havana, Illinois, the type locality, were fruitless as the streams were largely inaccessible and ones that were observed look extremely degraded. It was not until examining a male specimen taken near Manhattan, Kansas, that was identified as <i>D. repanda</i> by T.M. Peters, that the association between my material and the holotype was synched. The absence of any other <i>Dixa</i> species, besides the easily discernable <i>D. fluvica</i> Peters, taken in the study area also reinforces this decision.</p>Published as part of <i>Moulton, John K., 2018, Rediscovery of Dixa repanda Peters and description of its putative sister species, Dixa falcata sp. nov., from the south-central United States (Diptera: Dixidae), pp. 171-178 in Zootaxa 4459 (1)</i> on pages 175-177, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.4459.1.8, <a href="http://zenodo.org/record/1458464">http://zenodo.org/record/1458464</a>
Effects of psychogeriatric consultation-liaison services for people suffering from dementia, resident at home or in nursing homes or have a stay in general hospital
No full textDie Zahl Demenzkranker wird in den nächsten Jahrzehnten dramatisch steigen.
Unabhängig davon, ob ein demenzkranker Patient zu Hause, im Pflegeheim oder im
Krankenhaus betreut wird, ist die Versorgung von hohen Anforderungen
gekennzeichnet. Es stellt sich die Frage, ob durch den Ausbau von in
Deutschland noch wenig verbreiteten gerontopsychiatrischen Konsiliar- und
Liaisondiensten (KL-Dienste) durchgreifende Qualitätsverbesserungen und
Kosteneinsparungen erfolgen könnten. Hierbei handelt es sich um
multiprofessionelle Teams, die somatisch tätige Ärzte und Pflegekräfte sowie
pflegende Angehörige unterstützen und beraten. Solche KL-Dienste bestehen in
der Regel aus Fachärzten und Fachpflegekräften für Psychiatrie. Im Rahmen der
Dissertation werden die Wirkungen von gerontopsychiatrischen KL-Diensten für
ambulante Patienten, Heimbewohner und Krankenhauspatienten vergleichend
betrachtet. Grundlage des Vergleichs bilden in erster Linie die in mehreren
Projekten durchgeführten Längsschnittstudien. Die Analyse differenziert nach
Daten zu medizinischen, sozial-pflegerischen und ökonomischen
Wirkungszusammenhängen. Beim Erstkontakt und zum Abschluss der Intervention
wurden verschiedene Testungen durchgeführt und Daten erhoben, die einen Prä-
Post-Vergleich ermöglichen. Dies betraf neben der Entwicklung der
Beeinträchtigungen auch die Frage, ob Eskalationen wie Krankenhauseinweisungen
oder Heimeinweisungen vermieden werden konnten. Die Analyse der verschiedenen
Versorgungsbereiche zeigt, dass ein großer Teil der Patienten aller Segmente
im Hinblick auf medizinische Parameter von der Konsiliar- und Liaisonarbeit
profitiert hat. Dies betrifft die Ergebnisse der psychometrischen Testungen
und die Justierung der Medikation. Für den Krankenhaussektor ist zudem ein
Fortschritt hinsichtlich der Identifizierung unerkannter Demenzen und Delirien
zu verzeichnen. Positive Effekte auf die Versorgungssicherung zeigten sich vor
allem im ambulanten Bereich, während in den Heimen und Krankenhäusern
Fortschritte in der demenzbezogenen Kompetenz des Personals aufgebaut wurden.
Zudem lassen sich aus allen Segmenten Hinweise auf Kosteneinsparungen
ableiten. Damit die Arbeit von gerontopsychiatrischen KL-Diensten in
Deutschland eine größere Wirkung erzielen kann, muss – neben diversen
Qualitätsanforderungen – vor allem eine Überwindung von Sektorengrenzen
(beispielsweise zwischen hausärztlicher Primärversorgung und
Allgemeinkrankenhäusern) stattfinden. Um dies zu ermöglichen, ist durch
geeignete Versorgungsverträge Rechtssicherheit zu schaffen.The number of people with dementia will increase dramatically in the next
decades. Caring for people with dementia is difficult, independent from the
setting they live in, or where care is provided (e.g., at home, in nursing
homes, or in hospitals). This study focuses on the possibility of achieving
quality improvements as well as cost-offset effects by implementing
psychogeriatric consultation-liaison services in care settings. Multi-
professional teams who support and advise physicians, professional caregivers
and family caregivers provide these services. The study compares effects of
psychogeriatric consultation-liaison services that support patients at home,
in nursing homes and during an in-patient hospital stay. Longitudinal data are
drawn from studies conducted by the author in these three settings. Thereby,
the investigation brought medical, social and economic effects into focus.
Several tests and collections of data were conducted at the beginning and at
the end of the intervention, allowing a pre-post comparison. Besides the
description of impairments, the analysis focused on the question of whether or
not escalations such as hospitalization or institutionalization could be
avoided. The analysis shows that many patients in all three settings benefit
from the consultation-liaison interventions with regard to several medical
parameters. This refers to the improved results of psychometric tests and to
better fitting medications. Especially in in-patient hospital settings, the
diagnosis of dementia and delirium has improved. Patient-specific improvements
in service delivery can be seen in the home care sector, while in both nursing
homes as well as in hospitals, improvements in staff competency with regard to
knowledge and expertise in dementia care practice have been realised. Cost-
offset effects can be demonstrated in all three settings. In order to optimize
their efficiency, consultation-liaison services in Germany must not only
improve the quality of service, but, more importantly, the ability to bridge
sector boundaries (e.g., between primary care and hospitals) has to be
addressed and im-proved. This can be accomplished by specific integrated
service delivery contracts that help all players to achieve legal certainty
The Two Futures of Governing: Decentering and Recentering Processes in Governing. IHS Political Science Series Paper No. 114, January 2008
Full text linkReforms of the public sector have helped create a more efficient and effective public sector, but also have created a number of problems. Both, the New Public Management and “governance” reforms have contributed to the contemporary problems in governing. These problems have been political to a great extent, reflecting the tendency to emphasize administrative rather than democratic values. Governments have begun to react to the real and perceived problems within the public sector by developing a number of “meta-governance” instruments that can help steer public organizations but which involve less direct command and control. This paper addresses the contemporary governance tasks of restoring political direction and policy coherence while at the same supporting the autonomy of public organizations, and the involvement of policy networks, in governing
A novel histopathologic finding in the Descemet's membrane of a patient with Peters Anomaly: a case-report and literature review
No full textBackground: Peters anomaly is a rare developmental abnormality of the anterior segment of the eye and is one of the main causes of congenital corneal opacities. Typically, histopathology of Peters anomaly shows immature or absent Descemet's membrane and attenuated endothelial cells in the area of the corneal opacity, in addition to thinning or absence of Bowman's membrane and defects in the posterior stroma. In this report, we present a novel histopathological finding, which has not been previously reported, in the Descemet's membrane of a patient who is clinically diagnosed with Peters anomaly. Case presentation: A 7-years old female child with developmentally delayed was born of a normal pregnancy, labor, and delivery. Apparent bilateral corneal opacifications were present at birth. On ophthalmologic examination, the child had a visual acuity of FC/20 cm in the right eye and that of FC/10 cm in the left one. Horizontal nystagmus and congenital cataract were found in both eyes. Slit-lamp examination revealed bilateral central corneal opacities which covered the iris and pupils. High-frequency UBM and AS-OCT both showed a shallow anterior chamber with multiple areas of iridocorneal adhesions and no corneal lenticular touch in each eye. A corneal specialist performed a penetrating keratoplasty with extra-capsular cataract extraction and intraocular lens implantation. Histopathologic procedures were conducted on the host corneal button, including Hematoxylin-Eosin stain and Periodic Acid-Schiff stain. All the sections were examined by light microscopy. Conclusion: The "multiple-layer" structure of the Descemet's membrane described in our case has not been reported before as in association with abnormalities of the cornea tissues in Peters anomaly. Such pathological finding need to be reported to enhance further understanding of the special structure of Descemet's membrane as an abnormality during embryogenesis and neural crest cell differentiations.National Natural Science Foundation of China [81170888]SCI(E)[email protected]
