SCHMERZEN FORMEN: Agentielles Design in der Schmerzerfassung

by Johannes Maria Breuer

Wie stark sind die Schmerzen auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10? Sind sie pochend, stechend, pulsierend? Adäquate Schmerzerfassung stellt schon immer eine Herausforderung dar. Oftmals sind die Kategorien aktueller Instrumente allzu vereinfachend. Umfassendere, multidimensionale Assessments sind wiederum aufwendig und können für die Patient*innen eine Überforderung darstellen. Daher wird die Entwicklung einer intuitiven visuellen Form der Schmerzerfassung empfohlen. Sie berücksichtigt die Wechselwirkung zwischen Schmerzerleben und Schmerzrepräsentation in der Agentialität des Designs. Das Ergebnis ist ein digitales System, das durch die Modellierung multipler grafischer Parameter Schmerzen fluide, körperbezogen und mehrdimensional erfasst. Das System ermöglicht eine präzisere Verfolgung des Therapieverlaufs, kann die Körperwahrnehmung der Patient*innen verbessern und liefert Daten für eine patientenzentrierte und datengetriebene Medizin.

SDG18 Communicaton for All, Volume 2: Regional Perspectives and Special Cases (Sustainable Development Goals Series)

by Jan Servaes Muhammad Jameel Yusha’u

The 2030 agenda for development, or what is known as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), is perhaps the most ambitious agenda collectively agreed upon by 193 countries in human history. Yet, the framers of the 2030 agenda for development forgot to dedicate one goal focused on the role of communication in achieving the SDGs. Such oversight has attracted the attention of media and communication scholars alike, journalists, and policymakers who understand that it is nearly impossible to achieve the SDGs without the articulation and embrace of the role of communication in development. Volume 2 provides in-depth and specific explorations into regional perspectives concerning communication and the SDGs, with research on a rich array of sources, including Latin America, Africa, Australia, as well as special cases relating to timely studies such as social media, COVID-19, marginalized voices, and women's equality.

SET for Inclusion: An Underlying Methodology for Achieving Your Inclusion

by Mark Kaplan Mason Donovan

One of the biggest challenges for organizations over the past forty years has been integrating inclusiveness into practical day-to-day leadership. In the authors' first book, The Inclusion Dividend, they made the case for inclusive leadership as a measurable asset to an organization; it shows up in the bottom line and in other measurable results. In SET for Inclusion, Donovan and Kaplan take that one step further by guiding leaders through the application of a framework to lead inclusively. The authors discuss the current research on unconscious bias and insider-outsider dynamics and focus on how to translate that current research into best practice for leaders. SET for Inclusion follows the stories of three diverse characters in a large modern organization, a top executive, a middle manager, and an individual contributor. Each of these characters is working to make inclusiveness real, to provide tangible benefits for them as individuals and for the organization. These characters, and their stories, reflect the authors' 45 years of experience in working with middle and senior level managers in a variety of Fortune 1000 companies. The characters' experiences going from self-awareness to action will be very familiar to leaders in large domestic and global organizations. They will provide an important, step-by-step template for leaders who are interested in creating and leveraging diversity and inclusion within their organizations.

SIMSOC: Fifth Edition (Participant's Manual)

by William A. Gamson Larry G. Peppers

The official guide to SIMSOC, the dynamic group simulation game whose "potential for stimulating the learning process is staggering" (Teaching Sociology), in which players grapple with the challenge of governing society.In SIMSOC, players confront issues like abuse of power, justice, diversity, trust, and leadership as they negotiate their way through labor-management strife, political turmoil, and natural disasters. Success or failure is dependent upon decisions made by players and the creativity of the group--and every game is a teaching tool. To be successful, players must utilize every basic social process from cooperation and reward to threat and punishment. SIMSOC will make participants ask questions about social control, and bring everyday experience and deeper understanding to even the most arcane social and organizational theory. Included in this Fifth Edition of SIMSOC's Participant's Manual are instructions for playing, materials for play, study questions based on participation, and selected readings about simulation games, leadership, and social processes. New to the Fifth Edition are additional size levels to accommodate groups of up to ninety participants with simplified rules and readings by authors from Nicholas Lemann to Robert Putnam.

SIMSOC: Simulated Society, Participant's Manual

by William A. Gamson Larry G. Peppers

SIMSOC: Participant's Manual SIMSOC (which is pronounced sim-sock and stands for simulated society) is a dynamic group simulation game that forces participants to cope with the daily problems of governing society. Assuming a variety of roles, the players grapple with issues like abuse of power, justice, diversity, trust, and leadership as they negotiate their way through labor-management strife, political turmoil, and natural disasters. SIMSOC imposes few rules and restrictions upon its participants. There is no programmed outcome. Success or failure is dependent upon decisions made by players and the creativity of the group. To be successful, players must utilize every basic social process from cooperation and reward to threat and punishment. SIMSOC will make participants ask questions about social control, and bring everyday experience and deeper understanding to even the most arcane social and organizational theory. Included in this Fifth Edition of SIMSOC's Participant's Manual are instructions for playing, materials for play, study questions based on participation, and selected readings about simulation games, leadership, and social processes. New to the Fifth Edition are additional size levels to accommodate larger groups, simplified rules, and readings by authors from Nicholas Lemann to Robert Putnam. Each SIMSOC participant should have a copy of the Participant's Manual and the instructor a copy of SIMSOC's Coordinator's Manual, which contains additional materials needed for play and directions on how to set up and run SIMSOC. One Coordinator's Manual will be needed for each SIMSOC exercise of up to ninety participants.

SNOOZE...OR LOSE!: 10 "No-War" Ways to Improve Your Teen's Sleep Habits

by Helene A. Emsellem Carol Whiteley

Walk into any first-period high school classroom and it&#39s obvious: teenagers are exhausted. Sleep deprivation is an epidemic as widespread as obesity—and just as damaging. Fortunately, science has answers and Dr. Helene Emsellem has solutions that all parents can use. Affecting the lives of more than 41 million adolescents in the United States alone, sleep deprivation is a chronic problem for kids today. We know this intuitively as we watch teenagers frantically juggle a hectic social calendar with the overwhelming demands of school, work, and chores. School performance around the country is suffering—but it&#39s not just grades that are at risk. Sleep deprivation has been found to affect nearly every aspect of a teenager&#39s life, from emotional stability and behavioral issues to physical well-being and the potential for drug and alcohol abuse. For years, we&#39ve blamed many of these adolescent characteristics on the natural maturing process or changing hormones. And while chemicals do surge through the body creating strong effects, sleep—the right amount and the right kind—has now been targeted for its prime importance in overall success and well-being.
