Derzeit existieren wegen des Einflusses sozialer Erwünschtheit nur wenige psychologische Untersuchungen über Korruption. Die bisherige Korruptionsforschung hat sich stark auf die Ausprägung des Korruptionsniveaus gestützt und nicht den Einfluss von Kultur und der dadurch bedingten Wirkungen der Denk- und Verhaltensmuster auf das Konzept und die Ausprägung von Korruption untersucht. Dies ist die Fragestellung der vorliegenden Untersuchung. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass unterschiedliche Konzepte von Korruption in Deutschland und Indonesien existieren. Das Konzept der Korruption bezieht sich auf die Frage, welche regelwidrigen Verhaltensweisen in welchem Ausmaß als korrupt bewertet werden. Dieses Korruptionskonzept ist von kulturellen Dimensionen wie Kollektivismus und Menschlichkeit abhängig, wobei diese auch innerhalb der Kulturen Varianzen aufweisen. Die Ergebnisse verdeutlichen die methodischen Probleme der Messung von Korruption und die Schwierigkeiten der Verifizierung einer kulturübergreifenden Konstruktvalidität.

Zur Erstellung einer Normwertkurve der mütterlichen Gewichtszunahme während der Schwangerschaft wurden die Daten von 1 763 063 Frauen im Zeitraum von 1995 bis 1997 analysiert. Bei einer Spannbreite der Gewichtsveränderung von - 2 kg bis + 24 kg zeigte sich eine durchschnittliche Gewichtszunahme von 13 kg. Mit diesen Ergebnissen konnten somit erstmals Perzentilkurven der mütterlichen Gewichtszunahme für Deutschland erstellt werden.
Objectives
Cervical movement impairment has been identified as a core component of cervicogenic headache evaluation. However, normal range of motion values in children has been investigated rarely and no study has reported such values for the flexion–rotation test (FRT). The purpose of this study was to identify normal values and side-to-side variation for cervical spine range of motion (ROM) and the FRT, in asymptomatic children aged 6–12 years. Another important purpose was to identify the presence of pain during the FRT.
Methods
Thirty-four asymptomatic children without history of neck pain or headache (26 females and 8 males, mean age 125.38 months [SD 13.14]) were evaluated. Cervical spine cardinal plane ROM and the FRT were evaluated by a single examiner using a cervical ROM device.
Results
Values for cardinal plane ROM measures are presented. No significant gender difference was found for any ROM measure. Mean difference in ROM for rotation, side flexion, and the FRT were less than one degree. However, intra-individual variation was greater, with lower bound scores of 9.32° for rotation, 5.30° for side flexion, and 10.89° for the FRT. Multiple linear regression analysis indicates that movement in the cardinal planes only explains 19% of the variance in the FRT. Pain scores reported following the FRT were less than 2/10.
Discussion
Children have consistently greater cervical spine ROM than adults. In children, side-to-side variation in rotation and side flexion ROM and range recorded during the FRT indicates that the clinician should be cautious when using range in one direction to determine impairment in another. Range recorded during the FRT is independent of cardinal movement variables, which further adds to the importance of the FRT, as a test that mainly evaluates range of movement of the upper cervical spine.
Currently, the treatment of musicians is an interprofessional approach. Playing-related health complaints may impact the performance of a musician. In Germany, a medical consulting hour for musicians exists, but those for athletes in sports medicine are not so common. The diagnosing and treatment procedure within the physiotherapy consultation for musicians follows a specific concept-b and requires knowledge of instruments and musician-specific complaints. Based on the consulting hour in a clinic in Osnabrueck, 614 case reports were part of this sample, of which 558 data sets were complete. The focus of the analysis is the instrument and the primary complaint. Also, the type of therapy is characterized, and the amount is calculated. Primary complaints of musicians, in general, are found most frequently in the spine and upper extremity. Musician complaints are different between instruments. Instrumentalists have a significantly higher chance to suffer from a primary complaint in the area of the upper extremity. Furthermore, the groups without an instrument (e.g., singing or dancing) are developing complaints in the anatomical area which they primarily use. Therefore, these types of therapy were used: physiotherapy, manual therapy, and osteopathy with an average of 5.9 treatment units. This study underpinned the importance of musician-specific physiotherapy as a profession to treat musicians. Also, an interdisciplinary approach is necessary to treat all aspects of complaints.
Business-driven development favors the construction of process models
at different abstraction levels and by different people. As a consequence, there is a demand for consolidating different versions of process models by merging them. In this paper, we study a basic scenario, derive requirements and present a prototype for detecting and resolving changes between process models.
Transport operations are climate sensitive. Despite this, scientific literature and corporate practice present little evidence on how corporate actors use climate adaptation measures to prepare their transport operations for climate change. This paper explores two research questions: How can the acceptance among corporate decision-makers towards climate adaptation measures for their transport operations be explained? Based on the Theory of Planned Behavior and the Diffusion of Innovations we develop a theoretical framework for dealing with climate adaptation measures for transport operations (step 1). We support the use of this framework through a literature review (1989–2020) (step 2) and semi-structured interviews with German companies that have implemented best practice measures (step 3). The results show that the handling of climate adaptation measures for transport operations can be described in three acceptance phases: acceptance of attitude, action, and use. We conclude that these phases determine the approaches required for promoting climate change adaptation.
Achtsam durch den Change
(2019)
In vielen Wirtschaftsunternehmen, aber auch in Institutionen wie Schulen oder Hochschulen haben Achtsamkeitsübungen Einzug gehalten. Die Forschungsprojekte und Publikationen dazu boomen und stoßen auf großes Interesse in der Öffentlichkeit. Man will beispielsweise wissen, wie sich Achtsamkeit auf die psychische und physische Gesundheit, das Konzentrationsvermögen, die Selbstund Emotionsregulation, die Entscheidungskompetenz, das Konfliktverhalten, die soziale und moralische Kompetenz, die Kreativität oder auch die Lernfähigkeit auswirkt. Da liegt es nahe zu fragen: Kann Achtsamkeit auch für das Change Management bedeutsam sein?
Objective:
To compare the short- and long-term effects of a structural-oriented (convential) with an activity-oriented physiotherapeutic treatment in patients with frozen shoulder.
Design:
Double-blinded, randomized, experimental study.
Setting:
Outpatient clinic.
Subjects:
We included patients diagnosed with a limited range of motion and pain in the shoulder region, who had received a prescription for physiotherapy treatment, without additional symptoms of dizziness, a case history of headaches, pain and/or limited range of motion in the cervical spine and/or temporomandibular joint.
Interventions:
The study group received treatment during the performance of activities. The comparison group was treated with manual therapy and proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (conventional therapy). Both groups received 10 days of therapy, 30 minutes each day.
Main measures:
Range of motion, muscle function tests, McGill pain questionnaire and modified Upper Extremity Motor Activity Log were measured at baseline, after two weeks of intervention and after a three-month follow-up period without therapy.
Results:
A total of 66 patients were randomized into two groups: The activity-oriented group (n = 33, mean = 44 years, SD = 16 years) including 20 male (61%) and the structural-oriented group (n = 33, mean = 47 years, SD = 17 years) including 21 male (64%). The activity-oriented group revealed significantly greater improvements in the performance of daily life activities and functional and structural tests compared with the group treated with conventional therapy after 10 days of therapy and at the three-month follow-up (p < 0.05).
Conclusions:
Therapy based on performing activities seems to be more effective for pain reduction and the ability to perform daily life activities than conventional treatment methods.
Adaptivity is prevalent in today’s software. Mobile devices
self-adapt to available network connections, washing machines
adapt to the amount of laundry, etc. Current approaches for engineering such systems facilitate the specification of adaptivity in the analysis and the technical design. However, the modeling of platform independent models for adaptivity in the logical design phase remains rather neglected causing a gap between the analysis and the technical design phase.
To overcome this situation, we propose an approach called Adapt Cases. Adapt Cases allow the explicit modeling of adaptivity with domain-specific means, enabling adaptivity to gather attention early in the software engineering process.
Since our approach is based on the concept of use cases it
is easy adoptable in new and even running projects that
use the UML as a specification language, and additionally,
can be easily incorporated into model-based development
environments.
Hintergrund: Geburtshilfliche Interventionen nehmen weltweit zu, auch in Deutschland. Um deren Zahl zu reduzieren entstehen verschiedene Ansätze zur Förderung der normalen Geburt, so auch der deutsche „Expertinnenstandard Förderung der physiologischen Geburt“. Unter anderem wird darin eine Hebammensprechstunde gefordert. Inwieweit Hebammensprechstunden in Einrichtungen, die den Expertinnenstandard eingeführt haben, implementiert sind und ob sie in ihrer Ausgestaltung den Empfehlungen, so wie sie von den Entwicklerinnen intendiert waren (Adhärenz), folgen, ist bisher nicht bekannt. Ziel dieser Studie ist es, Analysemerkmale für die Hebammensprechstunde zu entwickeln, die Zielgruppe und Inhalte zu identifizieren und die Adhärenz zu untersuchen.
Methode: Eine Delphi-Befragung zur Entwicklung von Analysemerkmalen mit 3 Entwicklerinnen und eine quantitative Dokumentenanalyse der Dokumente der Hebammensprechstunden zweier Krankenhäuser wurde durchgeführt (Krankenhaus 1: n=92; Krankenhaus 2: n=62).
Ergebnisse: Sechs Merkmale (Dokumentation von „Sorgen und Ängste“, „Absprachen“, „Beratungsthemen“, „Themen, die besprochen wurden“, „Nachvollziehbarkeit der Möglichkeiten der Geburtsplanung“ und „Optionen der Geburtsplanung) wurden aus dem Expertinnenstandard identifiziert. Vor allem Erstgebärende (77,2%) nehmen die Hebammensprechstunde in Anspruch. Es zeigt sich ein breites Spektrum an Themen, die im Rahmen der Hebammensprechstunde angesprochen werden. Die Dokumente von Krankenhaus 2 belegen eine hohe Adhärenz, während die Dokumente von Krankenhaus 1 eine mittlere Adhärenz zeigen.
Schlussfolgerungen: Die Untersuchung der Adhärenz ermöglicht es Krankenhäusern, die Hebammensprechstunde auf ihre Umsetzung hin einzuschätzen. Auf Grundlage der hier vorgestellten Analyse können Anpassungen, z. B. an der Dokumentenstruktur oder den Beratungsinhalten vorgenommen werden. Im Kontext der Hebammensprechstunde besteht weiterer Forschungsbedarf zu den Implementierungsprozessen, um vorhandene Unterschiede in der Adhärenz besser zu erklären.
