Martin Opitz’ "New Year’s Gift with Song”
No full textAt the turn of the year 1623/24, Martin Opitz published a song of praise honouring Christ’s birth in German Alexandrine verse: Lobgesang Uber den Frewdenreichen Geburtstag Unseres Herren und Heilandes Jesu Christi [Song of praise about the joyous birthday of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ]. This example of erudition is also very personal: The author speaks about his troubles during the gruesome Thirty Years War. It concludes with a Latin Sapphic ode petitioning for absolution and peace. Scholars have never appreciated the ode’s function: It derives its full meaning from the intended melody, which was well-known to the dedicatee.
Amazingly, many poets copied Opitz in writing epic-dramatic poems including song(s) to honour friends or superiors with a New Year’s dedication; they imitated his motifs and even his title by way of “aemulatio”. When Opitz’ tendency towards dramatic representation and visualisation is enhanced, we find the work comes close to another musical epic-dramatic genre, the actus. We encounter this in several academic communities, its finest example being a hardly known musical composition by Johann Rosenmüller to words by Johann Ziegler.Non UBCUnreviewedFacult
Hypothesizing about Reading Recovery
No full textProfessor Opitz\u27s article is one of two in this special issue not written by a Reading Recovery trained teacher. The author has examined the literature on Reading Recovery and attempted to puzzle out the reason(s) for its success. Trained Reading Recovery teachers will find both points of agreement and disagreement, and many points on which to establish a discussion. Opitz writes, ...we do not, I believe, know why the program works. Yet as Clay suggests in this issue, answers are learned in the year-long and continuing contact training sessions. Our understanding of why the program works does not come from information or research alone, but from reflec tive practice. Reading Recovery teachers continue to re flect on their learning and practice, and implicit in the whole Reading Recovery process is ongoing research and evaluation. We have chosen the article because it reflects questions raised by those who have searched the literature on Reading Recovery and are contemplat ing involvement in the program. Professor Opitz\u27s hy pothesizing is based on wide reading in the literature about Reading Recovery, and should generate many powerful questions for the dialogue between trained Reading Recovery personnel and educators considering program implementation
THE DIGITAL O&P WORKSHOP
No full textDigitalisation is the megatrend in healthcare, not only since the pandemic. We are two European digital health experts and industry leaders in the field of orthotics and prosthetics (O&P) and in this article we explored what are the underlying trends driving the adoption of digitalisation for customisation of prosthetics & orthotics. We showed that several trends in 3D image capture (input step), 3D modelling (processing step) and 3D printing (output step) currently converge and thus fuel the rapid transformation of the O&P industry. In short outlooks, we rated the probability and timing of adoption rates across the upcoming couple of years. We furthermore reviewed the impact of boundary conditions set by regulators as well as the reimbursement system. Towards the end of this article, we outlined a digital scenario of the near future by following around an orthotist during her work. We finished with a call-to-action targeting regulators, payors, prosthetists/orthotists, and patients to enable such a desirable future.

Validated Prognostic Scores to Predict Outcomes in ECLS-Bridged Patients to Lung Transplantation
No full textSelection of patients who may benefit from extracorporeal life support (ECLS) as a bridge to lung transplant (LTx) is crucial. The aim was to assess if validated prognostic scores could help in selecting patients who may benefit from ECLS-bridging predicting their outcomes. Clinical data of patients successfully ECLS-bridged to LTx from 2009 to 2021 were collected from two European centers. For each patient, we calculated Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA), Simplified Acute Physiology Score III (SAPS III), Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation II (APACHE II), before placing ECLS support, and then correlated with outcome. Median values of SOFA, SAPS III, and APACHE II were 5 (IQR 3-9), 57 (IQR 47.5-65), and 21 (IQR 15-26). In-hospital, 30 and 90 days mortality were 21%, 14%, and 22%. SOFA, SAPS III, and APACHE II were analyzed as predictors of in-hospital, 30 and 90 days mortality (SOFA C-Index: 0.67, 0.78, 0.72; SAPS III C-index: 0.48, 0.45, 0.51; APACHE II C-Index: 0.49, 0.45, 0.52). For SOFA, the score with the best performance, a value ≥9 was identified to be the optimal cut-off for the prediction of the outcomes of interest. SOFA may be considered an adequate predictor in these patients, helping clinical decision-making. More specific and simplified scores for this population are necessary
Niklas Luhmann am OVG Lüneburg | Zur Entstehung der Systemtheorie
No full textSeine Karriere begann Niklas Luhmann Mitte der fünfziger Jahre am Oberverwaltungsgericht Lüneburg; grundlegende Einsichten seiner späteren Systemtheorie haben hier ihren Anfang genommen. Luhmanns Zeit am OVG Lüneburg ist begriffshistorisch maßgeblich für die Entwicklung eines der großen sozialwissenschaftlichen Theoriegebäudes des 20. Jahrhunderts.2017, zum Anlass von Luhmanns 90. Geburtstag, fand am OVG eine von der Leuphana Universität Lüneburg organisierte Tagung zum Frühwerk Luhmanns statt. Dieser Band dokumentiert die Beiträge von Hanna Engelmeier, Fabian Steinhauer, Ino Augsberg, Maren Lehmann, Sven Opitz, Günther Ortmann und Elena Esposito. Aus Luhmanns Personalakte ließen sich unerwartete Erkenntnisse gewinnen; es galt ihn als Juristen neu zu entdecken. Der Fehler und die Routine sowie die Figur der Unterbrechung erschienen als fruchtbare Begriffe in seinem Denken. Sein Weitblick in Hinblick auf die digitalen Kulturen durfte uns überraschen.»Niklas Luhmann at the Higher Administrative Court of Lüneburg«: In 2017, the Higher Administrative Court of Lüneburg, Niklas Luhmann's first place of work, hosted a conference on his early work, which had a decisive influence on his later systems theory. The volume documents contributions by Hanna Engelmeier, Fabian Steinhauer, Ino Augsberg, Maren Lehmann, Sven Opitz, Günther Ortmann and Elena Esposito on Luhmann's personal file, early legal studies, errors, routines and interruptions as figures of thought, and his early insights on digital cultures
