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.
In den USA gibt es auf Bundesebene keine direktdemokratischen Sachentscheidungen. Auf Gliedstaatenebene sind sie jedoch weit verbreitet. Dies hat große Bedeutung, weil die Gliedstaaten umfangreiche Gesetzgebungskompetenzen besitzen, darunter in unterschiedlichem Ausmaß im Steuer- und Umweltweltrecht, Gesundheits- und Sozialrecht, Straf-, Zivil- und Arbeitsrechts. Auch auf kommunaler Ebene ist direkte Demokratie breit verankert.
Teachers in health informatics have a broad variety of international and national educational recommendations to rely on when designing programmes, curricula, courses and educational material. However, in addition they often need very specific information for their setting, blue-prints, hands-on experience and encouragement to try something new. This workshop presents three case studies from European universities who have implemented inter-professional, technology enabled health informatics courses in undergraduate, postgraduate and open university settings. These approaches will be put into the context of the TIGER recommendation framework that includes priority ratings of health informatics competencies and case studies to illustrate them. The workshop attendees will have ample opportunity to exchange ideas with the presenters and start a mutual learning process for health informatics teachers.
Background: Muscle fatigue has been reported as a risk factor for the
development of performance-related musculoskeletal disorders (PRMD) in
musicians. However, little research exists to support this claim. The aim of
this study was to investigate whether changes occur in muscle activity
patterns during high string performance over a prolonged playing period, and
whether this is influenced by PRMD.
Methods: High string musicians were divided into a PRMD and a non-PRMD
group. They played a chromatic scale pre and post and a self-chosen “hard”
(Borg scale 16-17) piece of music for one hour. Electromyography data
recorded from arm, shoulder and trunk muscles was analyzed: the amplitude
to measure muscle activity characteristics and the lower frequency to
measure muscle fatigue. Differences between and within groups and the
frequency spectrum were analyzed using linear mixed models.
Results: Fifteen musicians participated (7 PRMD: 22.8 years, 2 male/5 female
and 8 non-PRMD: 34.3 years, 2 male/6 female). Changes in muscle activation
patterns were observed between and within both groups, however changes
varied significantly depending on group affiliation. Significant low frequency
spectrum changes between groups were observed in overall muscles of the
right arm (p=0.04) and left forearm flexors (p=0.05) following one hour of
playing.
Conclusions: Muscle activity and frequency spectrum shifts differ in high
string musicians with and without PRMD, suggesting possible differential
muscle fatigue effects between the groups.
The increasing complexity of caseloads in SLT practice, e.g. due to higher comorbidity, lacking information or experience in the
treatment of complicated cases, calls for support from experienced as well as specialist practitioners from within the field - especially
for novice therapists. One way to tackle these challenges may be peer coaching and how it can be employed within the educational
and professional SLT setting.
Peer coaching was implemented across five semesters of a successive SLT study programme at a University of Applied Sciences in
Germany. The approach was embedded in a clinical reasoning seminar with 25 SLT students who each presented a challenging case
study from their current workload. All participants completed a short online survey to evaluate the feasibility of the team approach
within this setting as well as their personal benefit and development re. the discussed case studies.
Students felt encouraged by being able to share their experience and tackle actual challenges. They particularly valued receiving
answers from a broad range of other SLTs but also contributing to other students’ queries and providing practical solutions for
them. All participants felt that peer coaching was an appropriate approach for clinical reasoning to support their professional as well
as personal development. Other outcomes were a perceived increased ability to employ metacognitive reflection to be used with
their whole caseload but also a prospective need for further training. Some students suggested the employment of peer coaching
within their work setting.
In the educational as well as professional SLT setting, peer coaching can be successfully employed, triggering metacognitive
reflection re. practitioner’s thinking and acting, resulting in an increased awareness of needs and skills as part of the clinical
reasoning process.
Background
Forced migration significantly endangers health. Women face numerous health risks, including sexual violence, lack of contraception, sexually transmitted disease, and adverse perinatal outcomes. Therefore, sexual and reproductive healthcare is a significant aspect of women asylum seekers’ health.
Even when healthcare costs of asylum seekers are covered by the government, there may be strong barriers to healthcare access and specific needs may be addressed inadequately. The study’s objectives were a) to assess the accommodation and healthcare services provided to women asylum seekers in standard and specialised health care, b) to assess the organisation of healthcare provision and how it addresses the sexual and reproductive healthcare needs of women asylum seekers.
Methods
The study utilised a multi-method approach, comprising a less-dominant quantitative component and dominant qualitative component. The quantitative component assessed accommodation conditions for women in eight asylum centres using a survey. The qualitative component assessed healthcare provision on-site, using semi-structured interviews with health and social care professionals (n = 9). Asylum centres were selected to cover a wide range of characteristics. Interview analysis was guided by thematic analysis.
Results
The accommodation in the asylum centres provided gender-separate rooms and sanitary infrastructure. Two models of healthcare were identified, which differed in the services they provided and in their organisation: 1) a standard healthcare model characterised by a lack of coordination between healthcare providers, unavailability of essential services such as interpreters, and fragmented healthcare, and 2) a specialised healthcare model specifically tailored to the needs of asylum-seekers. Its organisation is characterised by a network of closely collaborating health professionals. It provided essential services not present in the standard model. We recommend the specialised healthcare model as a guideline for best practise.
Conclusions
The standard, non-specialised healthcare model used in some regions in Switzerland does not fully meet the healthcare needs of women asylum seekers. Specialised healthcare services used in other regions, which include translation services as well as gender and culturally sensitive care, are better suited to address these needs. More widespread use of this model would contribute significantly toward protecting the sexual and reproductive integrity and health of women asylum seekers.
This study investigates how microenterprises in Ethical Fashion (EF) retail adopt and make use of social media. Drawing on an explorative case study, supplemented by an action research approach, we first examine the antecedents of a successful Adoption based on the Technology-Organization-Environment (TOE) framework. Subsequently, we shed light on the benefits and drawbacks of social media adoption for the three microenterprises of our case study on the operational and the strategical level. More particularly, we present how they improve value creation through the employment of social media in their value networks and how they overcome the lack of a sophisticated IT infrastructure. Finally, we investigate the reluctance of the three microenterprises to adopt inter-organizational information systems. The findings of our study also reveal a halo effect in the adoption process that may mislead the adopting organization.
Hintergrund
Gegenwärtig besteht ein Mangel in der Versorgung von Menschen, die eine Sepsis überlebt haben. Eine Ursache ist möglicherweise, dass kaum Informationen zum nachstationären Verlauf von Überlebenden existieren.
Zielstellung
Identifizierung und Bewertung bisheriger Forschungserkenntnisse zum nachstationären Verlauf überlebter Sepsis.
Material und Methode
Systematische Literaturstudie in Form eines Scoping Reviews. Aufgrund einer gesundheitswissenschaftlichen Perspektive wurden die Datenbanken PubMed, Cochrane, Cinahl und Gesis Sowiport genutzt. Eingeschlossene Publikationen wurden mit dem Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (CASP) bewertet.
Ergebnisse
Es wurden 53 Studien identifiziert, die Aussagen zum nachstationären Verlauf bei überlebter Sepsis treffen. Überlebende leiden häufig unter chronischen Erkrankungen wie Polyneuropathien und erleiden eine Verringerung der gesundheitsbezogenen Lebensqualität im Vergleich zum Zeitpunkt vor der Erkrankung. Die Mortalität ein Jahr nach Entlassung beträgt schätzungsweise bis zu 43 %. Ein wichtiger sozialer Aspekt im nachstationären Verlauf ist, dass Überlebende oftmals Hilfe in der Bewältigung ihres Alltags benötigen und auf die Unterstützung von Familienmitgliedern angewiesen sind. Dabei können Angehörige im Zuge der Sepsis selbst Erkrankungen wie Depressionen erleiden, was die Rehabilitation des Überlebenden stark belastet. Wie Betroffene und Angehörige derartige Krisen bewältigen, ist derzeit unerforscht.
Schlussfolgerung
Die 53 identifizierten Studien zum Thema nachstationärer Verlauf bei überlebter Sepsis bilden ein breites Spektrum an gesundheitlich relevanten Themen ab. Neben der Erforschung körperlicher und psychischer Auswirkungen sollten zukünftige Arbeiten bewältigungsorientierte Fragestellungen verfolgen.
Der vorliegende Beitrag hat zum Ziel, zunächst die Bedingungen herauszuarbeiten, die zum Gelingen der Anrechnung im Kontext der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung erforderlich sind. Im Absprung hiervon soll herausgestellt werden, nach welchen Kriterien eine sinnvolle Verbindung von verschiedenen wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildungsangeboten untereinander bzw. mit Studiengängen geschehen sollte. Zur Untersuchung steht, unter welchen Bedingungen die Vergleichbarkeit von Zertifikaten der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung gewährleistet und eine einheitliche, transparente sowie weitestgehend verbindliche Zertifikatssystematik für die Bezeichnung von Abschlüssen im Kontext der wissenschaftlichen Weiterbildung implementiert werden kann.
