¿Pflegeinnovationen - insbesondere in Verbindung mit Digitalisierung und den Potenzialen von KI - werden als wesentlicher Hebel gesehen, um sowohl die Qualität in der Pflege anzuheben als auch den wachsenden Herausforderungen des Fachkräftemangels zu begegnen. Die Frage, welche Faktoren die Entwicklung, Auswahl und Implementierung von Pflegetechnologien befördern oder auch behindern können, ist die Aufgabe des vom Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF) geförderten ¿Cluster Zukunft der Pflege¿. Dabei wird das gesamte soziotechnische System Pflege (Mensch, Organisation und Technik), in dem die Technik zum Einsatz kommen soll, betrachtet.An Beispielen aus dem Pflegeinnovationszentrum (PIZ) und aus vier Pflegepraxiszentren (PPZ) werden in diesem Buch die Phasen des Technologieentwicklungsprozesses und der Implementierung von Pflegeinnovationen in diversen pflegerischen Settings des praktischen Pflegealltags vorgestellt, die Fragen nach sozialer, ethischer und ökonomischer Relevanz sowie die Bedeutung des praktischen Nutzens sowie der Akzeptanz gestellt und diskutiert. Zugleich werden Bedingungsfaktoren für gelingende Pflegeinnovationen analysiert, damit sich der pflegerische Nutzen der Pflegebedürftigen und der Nutzen der Pflegenden verbessern lassen. Kurz: Ein profunder Einblick in die Werkstatt ¿Zukunft der Pflege¿ mit zahlreichen praxisorientieren Erkenntnissen für den Einsatz von digitalen Innovationen im Pflegealltag und Hinweisen für den weiteren Entwicklungs- und Forschungsbedarf.

A celebrated international bestseller that exposes the ticking time-bomb underneath our new technological order.The resources race is on. Powering our digital lives and green technologies are some of the Earth's most precious metals - but they are running out. And what will happen when they do? The green-tech revolution will reduce our reliance on nuclear power, coal, and oil, but by breaking free of fossil fuels, we are setting ourselves up for a new dependence - on rare metals like cobalt, gold, and palladium. These are essential to electric vehicles, wind turbines, and solar panels, as well as our smartphones, computers, tablets, and other technologies. But we know very little about how rare metals are mined and traded, or their environmental, economic, and geopolitical costs - until now.

Diese Studie untersucht den komplexen Zusammenhang zwischen Naturkatastrophen, individuellem Verhalten - in Form von individueller Risikobereitschaft und Vertrauensniveau - und der Nachfrage nach Mikroversicherungen. Entwicklungsländer sind besonders anfällig für die Auswirkungen von Naturkatastrophen und Klimawandel, da diese ihre Entwicklungsprozesse beeinträchtigen und die Bemühungen zur Armutsbekämpfung zurückwerfen. Unter Verwendung eines einzigartigen Datensatzes für das ländliche Kambodscha, der auf einer Umfrage, experimentellen Spielen und einem diskreten Auswahlexperiment basiert, unterstreicht die Studie die Bedeutung von Wahrnehmungen, Erwartungen und psychologischen Faktoren in Entscheidungsprozessen mit erheblichen Folgen für langfristige wirtschaftliche Perspektiven und die Armutsbekämpfung.

This book presents and critically evaluates the results of a European territorial cooperation project addressing the planning challenge of brownfield transformation in fragile territories. Set against the backdrop of the current scenario of deindustrialisation in the European Alps, the book describes how to read and interpret the spatial condition of industrial brownfields in peripheral mountain areas as complex transformation sites. Through key theoretical references, well-documented experiences and field activities, the book explores and advances an innovative methodology of design-based participatory planning conceived specifically for fragile socioeconomic and environmental contexts. The empirical basis for such a methodological exploration is provided by four pilot sites distributed between Austria, Italy, France and Slovenia, identified in the cooperation project as highly representative and recurring situations. The book includes a comparative review of the work carried out for the pilot sites, as well as the planning outcomes generated, providing a clear and operative reference for scholars, professionals and public officers called to face similar experiences.

"With alarming frequency, modern economies go through macro-financial crashes that arise from the financial sector and spread to the broader economy, inflicting deep and prolonged recessions. A Crash Course on Crises brings together the latest cutting-edge economic research to identify the seeds of these crashes, reveal their triggers and consequences, and explain what policymakers can do about them. Each of the book's ten self-contained chapters introduces readers to a key economic force and provides case studies that illustrate how that force was dominant. Markus Brunnermeier and Ricardo Reis show how the run-up phase of a crisis often occurs in ways that are preventable but that may go unnoticed and discuss how debt contracts, banks, and a search for safety can act as triggers and amplifiers that drive the economy to crash. Brunnermeier and Reis then explain how monetary, fiscal, and exchange-rate policies can respond to crises and prevent them from becoming persistent. With case studies ranging from Chile in the 1970s to the COVID-19 pandemic, A Crash Course on Crises synthesizes a vast literature into ten simple, accessible ideas and illuminates these concepts using novel diagrams and a clear analytical framework."--Amazon.com

"Hope is a little-studied concept in economics, but it's a fundamental aspect of the economy. We know that hope is largely a positive trait that helps individuals manage life's challenges, and its role is particularly important in how we think about the disadvantaged. Distinct from aspirations, which are tied to a specific goal, hope is a deeper sentiment that drives behavior. But there are many unanswered questions. Is hope genetically determined and, as such, a lasting trait that is resistant to negative shocks? Or is it more malleable? Can we restore hope in populations where it has been lost? Can the lessons from optimistic and resilient populations be generalized to other populations? Can interventions enhance hope? Economist Carol Graham seeks to expand on the established parameters of study and uses a mix of econometric analysis and in-depth field surveys, from both Latin American and the United States, to broaden our knowledge of hope. Drawing from other disciplines, such as biology and psychology, this book aims to demonstrate the potential benefits of incorporating hope into economic analysis, and especially into the analysis of human well-being. While this is relatively unknown territory, the book will bring to light empirical evidence that demonstrates that hope can improve people's life outcomes, that despair can destroy them, and that the effects of hope are strong enough to merit a deeper exploration. In the midst of a long-standing crisis of deaths of despair particularly afflicting the US and the shorter-term effects of the pandemic, a better and more serious social-scientific understanding of the power of hope could be critical to improving public health"--

'An eye-opening, deeply disturbing, fast-moving journey through the lives, homes and affairs of the filthy rich of London' Danny Dorling'Fascinating, punchy, thought-provoking. Serious Money exposes the corrosive impact of London's super rich on our economy, society and politics, and comprehensively busts the myth that their wealth trickles down to the rest of us' Frances O'GradyLondon is a plutocrat's paradise, with more resident billionaires than New York, Hong Kong or Moscow. Far from trickling down, their wealth is burning up the environment and swallowing up the city. But what do we really know about London's super rich, and the lives they lead?To find out more about this secretive, security-heavy elite, sociologist Caroline Knowles walks the streets of London from the City to suburban Surrey, via Kensington, Notting Hill, Mayfair and elsewhere. Her walks reveal how the wealthy shape the capital in their image, creating a new world of gated communities and luxury developments. A move behind closed doors takes us ever further into the dark heart of the plutocratic city, from multimillion-pound mansions to high-end hotels and gentlemen's clubs. Along the way we meet a wide and wickedly entertaining cast of millionaires, billionaires and those who serve them: bankers, aristocrats, tech tycoons, Conservative party donors, butlers, bodyguards, divorce lawyers and many, many more.By turns jaw-dropping, enraging and enlightening, Serious Money explodes the fiction that wealth is a condition to aspire to, revealing the isolation and paranoia which accompany it when the plutocrat's recompense - a life of unlimited luxury - ultimately proves hollow. It is a powerful reminder us that it is not just the super-rich who get to make the city: we make it too, and could demand something different. Because serious money is good for no one - not even the rich.'Magnificent ... Knowles writes with enviable lightness and pace about how money, property, birth, breeding, contacts, secrecy, and servants have created a class that owns and milks London, a world away from the city's ordinary citizens' Professor Ash Amin, author of Seeing Like a City

Steffen Rickers stellt ein Optimierungsmodell fur die integrierte Bestellmengen- und Wiederaufbereitungsplanung von begrenzt haltbaren Medizinprodukten in Krankenhausern vor. Ziel der Optimierung ist es, einen kostenminimalen Bestellmengen- und Wiederaufbereitungsplan zu bestimmen, der den Operationsbereich fristgerecht mit sterilen Medizinprodukten versorgt und damit die Einhaltung des Operationsplans gewahrleistet. Die Optimierung umfasst neben der begrenzten Haltbarkeit von sterilen Medizinprodukten auch die Kapazitatsbeschrankungen der Wiederaufbereitungs- und Sterilisationsressourcen. Fur die neuartige Problemstellung werden heuristische Methoden zur effizienten Losung des Problems vorgestellt und im Rahmen einer umfangreichen numerischen Studie evaluiert.

Lehrende in der Pflegeausbildung sind spatestens seit der Einfuhrung des Pflegeberufegesetzes im Jahr 2020 gefordert, das exemplarische Prinzip im Unterricht umzusetzen. Es gibt bislang weder pflegedidaktische Kriterien fur Auswahlentscheidungen im Kontext des exemplarischen Prinzips noch pflegedidaktische Konzepte zu dessen curricularer und unterrichtlicher Umsetzung. In diesem Buch werden solche Kriterien systematisch hergeleitet und in Form eines auf der curricularen Ebene angesiedelten Handlungsleitfadens in einen pflegedidaktischen Zusammenhang gebracht.

This handbook presents a must-read, comprehensive and state of the art overview of sustainable diets, an issue critical to the environment and the health and well-being of society.Sustainable diets seek to minimise and mitigate the significant negative impact food production has on the environment. Simultaneously they aim to address worrying health trends in food consumption through the promotion of healthy diets that reduce premature disability, disease and death. Within the Routledge Handbook of Sustainable Diets, creative, compassionate, critical, and collaborative solutions are called for across nations, across disciplines and sectors. In order to address these wide-ranging issues the volume is split into sections dealing with environmental strategies, health and well-being, education and public engagement, social policies and food environments, transformations and food movements, economics and trade, design and measurement mechanisms and food sovereignty. Comprising of contributions from up and coming and established academics, the handbook provides a global, multi-disciplinary assessment of sustainable diets, drawing on case studies from regions across the world. The handbook concludes with a call to action, which provides readers with a comprehensive map of strategies that could dramatically increase sustainability and help to reverse global warming, diet related non-communicable diseases, and oppression and racism.This decisive collection is essential reading for students, researchers, practitioners, and policymakers concerned with promoting sustainable diets and thus establishing a sustainable food system to ensure access to healthy and nutritious food for all.
