Managerial accounting
(2018)
Basics of Accounting targets students in international business study programs. It covers the widely applied syllabus of Accounting at universities on bachelor’s and master’s level. In this book, the application of the methods comes first. The Basics teach how to do Accounting by a case study based approach. All cases were taken from former exam papers at international universities and calculated completely and illustrated understandably.
Managerial Accounting is about Accounting for managers. It is linked to General Management where companies are seen as a whole as well as to Cost Accounting which comprises all methods/instruments applicable for calculations, budgeting and cost monitoring in business.
Mit der Öffnung der Hochschulen rücken beruflich vorgebildete Personen aus dem Berufsfeld der Gesundheitsversorgung auch ohne formale Hochschulzugangsberechtigung in den Kreis der Zielgruppen der Hochschulbildung. Diese Personen wählen wissenschaftliche Zertifikatsangebote im Übergang vom beruflichen zum hochschulischen Lernen, um auf dem aktuellsten Stand des Wissens weitergebildet zu werden. Im Rahmen der zeitlich kleineren Bildungseinheiten der Zertifikatsangebote streben sie mit Blick auf zukünftige Herausforderungen im Gesundheitswesen danach, einen wissenschaftlich fundierten Kompetenzaufbau und -ausbau in einem klar definierten Themenfeld zu erhalten, ohne dafür zwangsläufig ein vollständiges Studium absolvieren zu müssen.
Die Zielgruppe dieser nicht-traditionell Studierenden ist durch eine starke Heterogenität u.a. hinsichtlich Alter, Berufsbiografie und Familienverpflichtungen geprägt. Die besondere Angebots- und Organisationsstruktur der wissenschaftlichen Zertifikatsangebote ist auf diese Zielgruppe ausgerichtet. Begleitend zu der didaktischen Ausgestaltung des Curriculums sowie der methodischen Vernetzung von Theorie und Praxis ist die Wertschätzung und Validierung bereits beruflich erworbener Kompetenzen ein Anliegen der Zielgruppe. Insofern erweisen sich gezielte Beratungs- und Unterstützungsmaßnahmen, eine zentrierte Förderung der Selbstreflexionsfähigkeit sowie eine individuelle Lern(fortschritts)begleitung zur aktiven Teilnahme an der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung als hilfreich. In diesem Beitrag werden Erfahrungen aus pilotierten Zertifikatsangeboten der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung und empirische Erkenntnisse aus dem BMBF-geförderten Projekt KeGL vorgelegt.
Introduction:
Many patients with cerebral palsy (CP) suffer chronic pain as one of the most limiting factors in their quality of life. In CP patients, pain mechanisms are not well understood, and pain therapy remains a challenge. Quantitative sensory testing (QST) might provide unique information about the functional status of the somatosensory system and therefore better guide pain treatment.
Objectives:
To understand better the underlying pain mechanisms in pediatric CP patients, we aimed to assess clinical and pain parameters, as well as QST profiles, which were matched to the patients' cerebral imaging pathology.
Patients and methods:
Thirty CP patients aged 6–20 years old (mean age 12 years) without intellectual impairment underwent standardized assessments of QST. Cerebral imaging was reassessed. QST results were compared to age- and sex-matched controls (multiple linear regression; Fisher's exact test; linear correlation analysis).
Results:
CP patients were less sensitive to all mechanical and thermal stimuli than healthy controls but more sensitive to all mechanical pain stimuli (each p < 0.001). Fifty percent of CP patients showed a combination of mechanical hypoesthesia, thermal hypoesthesia and mechanical hyperalgesia; 67% of CP patients had periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), which was correlated with mechanic (r = 0.661; p < 0.001) and thermal (r = 0.624; p = 0.001) hypoesthesia.
Conclusion:
The combination of mechanical hypoesthesia, thermal hypoesthesia and mechanical hyperalgesia in our CP patients implicates lemniscal and extralemniscal neuron dysfunction in the thalamus region, likely due to PVL. We suspect that extralemniscal tracts are involved in the original of pain in our CP patients, as in adults.
Introduction:
Due to demographic change and lack of health care personnel new solutions like preventive home visits (PHV) are necessary. PHV reduces the risk of long-term care and therefore, enables older people to live in their home as long as possible.
Aim of the study:
The aim of this study is to analyse the acceptance of PHV and the effect of PHV on health status of the older people.
Methods:
In this mixed method study PHV as a nursing intervention will be offered to people older than 65 years, not yet eligible for benefits from the long-term care insurance and living in Emlichheim, a region in the northwestern part of Lower Saxony. A sample of 75 people is determined. The health status will be recorded with the Short Form 12 questionnaire. Fifteen semi-structured interviews will be performed to investigate acceptance of the PHV intervention. Quantitative data will be analysed using inferential statistics, qualitative data will be analysed using content analysis. Ethical approval has been obtained.
Results:
It is expected that the findings of this study complete current knowledge about the concept of PHV.
Practical relevance:
This study is of high practical relevance, because additional insights of acceptance might enable the adaption of the PHV concept. Furthermore, increased knowledge and motivation for preventive behaviour of the older people is anticipated in order to extend their autonomy. The results of this study could contribute to the implementation of PHV in Germany, especially in rural areas. It tends to allow a self-determined life in their familiar environment for the older people, as the biggest need of this group.
Aufgrund des demografischen Wandels und andauernden Fachkräftemangels werden alternative Versorgungsformen wie Präventive Hausbesuche (PH) benötigt. PH reduzieren die Gefahr von Pflegebedürftigkeit und ermöglichen somit älteren Menschen möglichst lange in ihrem Zuhause wohnen bleiben zu können. Das Ziel dieses Forschungsvorhabens ist die Akzeptanzanalyse PH und Messung des Effekts auf den Verlauf des Gesundheitszustands. In der Mixed-Methods-Studie werden PH als pflegerische Intervention Menschen angeboten, die zwischen 65 und 85 Jahre alt sind, Deutsch verstehen und sprechen, nicht pflegebedürftig im Sinne des SGB XI sind und in der Samtgemeinde in Niedersachsen wohnen, in der das Projekt durchgeführt wird. Die Stichprobe umfasst 75 Personen. Erwartet wird, dass die Studienergebnisse das bisherige Wissen über das Konzept der PH ergänzen.
High Performance and Privacy for Distributed Energy Management: Introducing PrivADE+ and PPPM
(2018)
Distributed Energy Management (DEM) will play a vital role in future smart grids. An important and often
overlooked factor in this concept is privacy. This paper presents two privacy-preserving DEM algorithms
called PrivADE+ and PPPM. PrivADE+ uses a round-based energy management procedure for switchable and
dynamically adaptable loads. PPPM utilises on the market-based PowerMatcher approach. Both algorithms
apply homomorphic encryption to privately gather aggregated data and exchange commands. Simulations
show that PrivADE+ and PPPM achieve good energy management quality with low communication requirements
and without negative influences on robustness.
Mit immer größerer Dringlichkeit beim globalen Klimaschutz gewinnt auch die CO2-Bilanzierung von Unternehmen und Organisationen an Bedeutung. Drei Handlungsempfehlungen gewährleisten, dass aus einer einfachen CO2-Bilanzierung eine systematische CO2-Beratung wird, die im Unternehmen einen effektiven Beitrag zum Klimaschutz leistet.
This paper introduces ideas to reduce talent scarcity by binding female talent in India. As a theoretical lens Neo-Institutionalism in the Indian context is combined with the family-relatedness of work decision model. The qualitative research design and first results as well as propositions for companies are included.
Talent scarcity in many parts of the world leads to the necessity to enlarge talent pools in order to provide enough future holders of key positions. Taking the scholarly discussion at the overlap of talent management and current careers literature as a starting point our qualitative empirical research provides insights in talent’s career decisions in an eastern emerging market, India, and a western developed country, Germany. 49 interviews with internationally experienced knowledge-workers were held to find out how to they come to career decisions throughout their career. Special focus was the balancing act of professional and private life sphere. An inductive-deductive approach was used to develop categories in MaxQda. Results show the impact of institutional frame, cultural context, and gender differences. Consequently, a stronger focus on talent’s different life phases with context specific deviations when configuring Talent Management in Multinational Enterprises can be advised.
