Vulnerabilities of people with different types of disabilities in disasters: A rapid evidence review and qualitative research
Despite the growth of disaster scholarship, the topic of how and why climate‐related disasters and extreme weather events vary among people with different types of disabilities remains unexplored. To help fill the gap, this study draws on a larger research project that was co‐designed by Water Sensitive Cities Australia at Monash University and the Hanoi Association of People with Disabilities, Vietnam. It utilised the dataset of a rapid evidence…
Efficacy of a new treatment algorithm for capsulitis of the fingers in rock climbers
BackgroundAlthough finger joint capsulitis has been described among the most frequent injuries in climbers, no clinical studies on treatment strategies and outcomes are available.Study designProspective case series study.MethodsBetween 2015 and 2018 we prospectively treated 50 patients (38 male, 12 female) with a total number of 69 independent finger joint capsulitis according to a clinic specific treatment regimen and evaluated the outcome retro…
Occurrence of No-Harm Incidents and Adverse Events in Hospitalized Patients with Ischemic Stroke or TIA: A Cohort Study Using Trigger Tool Methodology
Adverse events (AEs)-healthcare caused events leading to patient harm or even death-are common in healthcare. Although it is a frequently investigated topic, systematic knowledge on this phenomenon in stroke patients is limited. To determine cumulative incidence of no-harm incidents and AEs, including their severity and preventability, a cohort study using trigger tool methodology for retrospective record review was designed. The study was carrie…
Relevant Journals for Identifying Implementation Science Articles: Results of an International Implementation Science Expert Survey
In implementation science (IS), conducting well-targeted and reproducible literature searches is challenging due to non-specific and varying terminology that is fragmented over multiple disciplines. A list of journals that publish IS-relevant content for use in search strings can support this process. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey of 56 Australian, European, and North American IS experts to identify and prioritize relevant journals…
Einfluss des Neoliberalismus auf die deutsche Gesundheitspolitik: Das Beispiel der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung
Der Beitrag beschreibt die Entstehung sowie die zentralen Inhalte eines in den 1980er Jahren entwickelten neoliberalen Reformmodells für einen marktwirtschaftlichen Umbau des deutschen Gesundheitswesens und zeigt die Umsetzung des Reformmodells am Beispiel der gesetzlichen Krankenversicherung

Assessing Nursing Homes Quality Indicators’ between-Provider Variability and Reliability: A Cross-Sectional Study Using ICCs and Rankability
Nursing home quality indicators are often used to publicly report the quality of nursing home care. In Switzerland, six national nursing home quality indicators covering four clinical domains (polypharmacy, pain, use of physical restraints and weight loss) were recently developed. To allow for meaningful comparisons, these indicators must reliably show differences in quality of care levels between nursing homes. This study's objectives were to as…
Inactivation of Selected Bacterial Pathogens in Dairy Cattle Manure by Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion (Balloon Type Digester)
Anaerobic digestion of animal manure in biogas digesters has shown promise as a technology in reducing the microbial load to safe and recommended levels. We sought to treat dairy manure obtained from the Fort Hare Dairy Farm by investigating the survival rates of bacterial pathogens, through a total viable plate count method, before, during and after mesophilic anaerobic digestion. Different microbiological media were inoculated with different se…
Nurses’ Shift Length and Overtime Working in 12 European Countries: The Association With Perceived Quality of Care and Patient Safety
BACKGROUND: Despite concerns as to whether nurses can perform reliably and effectively when working longer shifts, a pattern of two 12- to 13-hour shifts per day is becoming common in many hospitals to reduce shift to shift handovers, staffing overlap, and hence costs. OBJECTIVES: To describe shift patterns of European nurses and investigate whether shift length and working beyond contracted hours (overtime) is associated with nurse-reported care…

Prognosen zum Thema „Fachkräftemangel in der Pflege: Limitationen amtlicher Statistiken und methodische Probleme bisheriger Studien
Der vorliegende Beitrag befasst sich vor dem Hintergrund der aktuellen Diskussion über einen Fachkräftemangel in der Pflege mit der Zuverlässigkeit der Abbildung der Pflegeberufe in amtlichen Statistiken und methodischen Problemen bisheriger Vorausberechnungen. Daten zur Zahl der Beschäftigten in Pflegeberufen bieten mehrere amtliche Statistiken. Ein Vergleich dieser Statistiken zeigt jedoch zum Teil erhebliche Unterschiede in den Datenangaben so…
Die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung als Sozialversicherung
Die gesetzliche Krankenversicherung in Deutschland ist Teil des Sozialversicherungssystems, und Krankenkassen sind Körperschaften des öffentlichen Rechts, die der Sache nach mittel-bare Staatsverwaltung ausüben. Seit ca. 15 Jahren ist jedoch eine Entwicklung zu verzeichnen, durch die die GKV zunehmend nach dem Vorbild der privaten Krankenversicherung umgewandelt wird. Das führt letztlich zu der Frage, ob die GKV als Sozialversicherung abgeschafft…
Asymmetric Proliferation and Nuclear War: The Limited Usefulness of an Experimental Test
I employ a human subject experiment to assess the relationship between nuclear proliferation and war. I develop a game-theoretic model to predict crisis behavior following four scenarios of dyadic nuclear acquisition. By varying the cash payments allotted to different outcomes, I experimentally alter the payoffs of the participants. Subjects compete for cash payments by playing a competitive game based on the model. The experimental variation (al…

Hot Hand: A Critical Analysis of Enduring Rivalries
Statisticians refer to discernible patterns of events that are nevertheless unrelated as a "hot hand." An observer watching a gambler on a winning streak may suspect that the game is fixed, but it is not necessary to depart from standard probability theory to account for series of low-probability events. Enduring rivalries research often uses frequency counts of militarized disputes to identify rivalries as "enduring." Nevertheless, discernible p…
Political System Similarity And The Choice of Allies: Do Democracies Flock Together, or Do Opposites Attract
Does the nature of a nation's political institutions influence the types of countries with which it allies? Some previous research has suggested that democracies tend to ally with other democracies. This study reexamines alliance patterns by assessing the broader linkage between regime type and alliance partnership. The authors present a refinement of previous research designs, using new data from Polity III and the updated correlates of war (COW…
