This book showcases recent trends in brain-computer interface development. It highlights fascinating results in areas such as language decoding, spinal cord stimulation to enable gait and to restore hand functions. The contributions are based on the 12 nominated brain-computer interface projects of the BCI Award 2022. Every year an international jury selects the most innovate BCI projects and nominates 12 projects before selecting the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners. In the book, each project is described in detail by the team of scientists behind it, and the editors provide a concluding discussion of the highlights and overall progress in the field.

Human history is filled with inventions and other innovations that resulted in a significant and lasting change in our civilization¿s course of development. From gasoline-powered vehicles to transistor-based electronics or jet airplanes, things we now take for granted often appeared suddenly and unexpectedly. Yet after their introduction, our world changed forever. Over the past two decades, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) have been stealthily increasing their presence in our everyday lives. This ¿randomly systematic¿ adoption process is exposing humanity to something we never previously directly faced: an intelligence that may (and likely will) exceed our own. Despite this, most people are not fully aware of current (and future) benefits, limitations, and threats related to AI/ML. Within health care, there is little awareness of what AI/ML is capable of and how these new capabilities are being implemented or utilized. It is this current state that serves as our ¿starting point¿ in the emerging debate on AI/ML in medicine and surgery, including its integration, projected influence, and many other considerations that are not that different from other past technology adoption paradigms. This book discusses both current trends and future developments in AI and ML across health care.

A Surgeon General's Advisory is a public statement that calls the American people's attention to an urgent public health issue and provides recommendations for how it should be addressed. Advisories are reserved for significant public health challenges that require the nation's immediate awareness and action. This Advisory calls attention to the growing concerns about the effects of social media on youth mental health. It explores and describes the current evidence on the positive and negative impacts of social media on children and adolescents, some of the primary areas for mental health and well-being concerns, and opportunities for additional research to help understand the full scope and scale of social media's impact. This document is not an exhaustive review of the literature. Rather, it was developed through a substantial review of the available evidence, primarily found via electronic searches of research articles published in English and resources suggested by a wide range of subject matter experts, with priority given to, but not limited to, meta-analyses and systematic literature reviews. It also offers actionable recommendations for the institutions that can shape online environments-policymakers and technology companies-as well as for what parents and caregivers, young people, and researchers can do.

Durch die demografische Entwicklung steigt die Anzahl älterer und kognitiv beeinträchtigter Menschen, die in einem Akutkrankenhaus behandelt werden. Dabei sind insbesondere Menschen mit einer Demenz mit ihren spezifischen Bedürfnissen auf der einen Seite und das ablauforiertierte System des Akutkrankenhauses auf der anderen Seite inkompatibel ¿ mit entsprechend negativen Auswirkungen für alle Beteiligten. Im Rahmen eines qualitativen Studiendesigns mit gruppenübergreifender Betrachtung wurde untersucht, ob Angehörige als Bindeglied zwischen der Person mit Demenz und den medizinisch-pflegerischen Fachpersonen des Krankenhauses agieren können. Das Ergebnis der Studie ist ein Modell der Beteiligung der Angehörigen von Menschen mit Demenz im Akutkrankenhaus: Angehörige leisten als Bindeglied einen besonderen Beitrag zur Verminderung oder gar Vermeidung von Problemen und Eskalationen auf beiden Seiten. Hierbei übernehmen sie bestimmte Rollen mit entsprechenden Funktionen und Aufgaben. Das Wissen um diese Rollen, die jeweiligen Zeitpunkte und auch um die Grenzen des Einbezugs von Angehörigen unterstützt Fachpersonen und Praktiker bei einem planvollen Umgang mit der Situation.

Immer mehr Menschen verbringen ihren Lebensabend in Einrichtungen der Altenpflege. Zusätzlich zur Sorge um physische, psychische und soziale Belange gilt es, deren spirituelle Bedürfnisse zu berücksichtigen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es, die spirituellen Bedürfnisse von alten Menschen in Langzeitpflegeeinrichtungen zu erfassen. Gleichzeitig wurde untersucht, welche spirituellen Bedürfnisse Pflegende bei den ihnen anvertrauten Bewohner/-innen wahrnehmen. Dabei wurden Übereinstimmungen bzw. Unterschiede identifiziert. Daten aus 28 Einzelinterviews mit Bewohnerinnen und Bewohnern und 9 Fokusgruppeninterviews mit Mitarbeitenden wurden mittels Qualitativer Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet und unter die Kernkategorien "Sinn", "Verbundenheit", "Transzendenz" kategorisiert. Die Kategorien beider Befragtengruppen wurden einem Vergleich unterzogen. Trotz zahlreicher Übereinstimmungen in den Aussagen beider Gruppen bleiben Defizite in der Wahrnehmung von Pflegenden. Aus den Ergebnissen der Arbeit werden Schlussfolgerungen für die Einbeziehung der spirituellen Dimension der alten Menschen in die pflegerische Arbeit im Seniorenheim gezogen und Empfehlungen ausgesprochen.

Ergoterapi og socialt arbejde har til formål at bidrage til, hvordan man med et ergoterapeutisk perspektiv kan skabe mulighed for, at mennesker i udsatte positioner kan deltage i aktivitet og fællesskaber. Årsagen til aktivitetsproblemer skyldes ikke udelukkende en funktionsnedsættelse, en sygdom eller et handicap. Men i stedet er aktivitetsproblemerne komplekse og handler i høj grad om de vilkår og betingelser, der gør sig gældende i det enkelte menneskes liv. Der hvor aktivitetsproblemer ikke tilstrækkeligt kan forstås og handles på med et sundhedsfagligt blik, men hvor der også er brug for et socialt eller samfundsfagligt blik. Gruppen af mennesker, som befinder sig i en social udsat position i Danmark, er stigende, og at være i en social udsat position kan ramme alle og være udløst af mange forskellige faktorer gennem livet. Ergoterapeuter har derfor i praksis brug for viden om og handlemuligheder ift. dét at befinde sig i en socialt udsat position. Denne bog er derved med til at skabe et argument for det, der i bogen kaldes social ergoterapi.Bogen er inddelt i fire dele. Del 1 er en introduktion til socialt arbejde og social udsathed. Del 2 beskriver aktivitetsvidenskab, ergoterapi og socialt arbejde. Del 3 ser nærmere på hverdagsliv og ergoterapeutisk praksis i det sociale arbejde, og til sidst i del 4 er der bud på fremadrettede perspektiver og ståsteder. Ergoterapi og socialt arbejde henvender sig primært til ergoterapeutstuderende, men også til uddannede ergoterapeuter samt kliniske undervisere med interesse for området. Det er intentionen, at de forskellige dele af bogen både skal bibringe viden, give anledning til refleksion og diskussion, men også lukke op for de muligheder, der findes for ergoterapi indenfor det sociale arbejde.Med bidrag af Henrik Brøndum Holm, Jacob Østergaard Madsen, Mette Eg Jørgensen, Nanna Raunsø, Finn Blickfeldt Juliussen, Anja Kammacher, Christina Jessen-Winge, Marianne Rasmussen, Anne-Le Morville, Heidi Fauerskov Bruus Bentzen, Isabell Halvorsen, Ayah Zidan, Kistan Faizallah, Sofie Hvidtved Petersen, Marie Kaas, Birthe Møller Johansen & Astrid Lykke Drachmann.
