Advance Care

Advance care planning (ACP) in paediatrics applies from the diagnosis of a life-limiting/life-threatening condition onwards. It encompasses the management of intermittent potentially reversible episodes through to end-of-life care in keeping with the child’s best interest. It is an active approach to managing care and acknowledges the child’s and family’s broader social, emotional, and spiritual needs and keeps the child central and paramount to all planning. It requires transparent discussions and effectively documented agreements that are well communicated, readily accessible, and immediately identifiable. It is essential to regularly review and amend as necessary. They describe the care agreed at that point in time in the child’s best interest, in line with RCPCH guidance. Challenges may particularly occur at the time of transition to adult services.

Abstract Introduction Bedouin women in Israel confront a challenging circumstance between their traditional patriarchal society and transition to modernity. In terms of reproductive health, they face grave disparities as women, pregnant women and mothers. In this article we aim to understand the challenges of Bedouin women who work as mediators in the promotion of Bedouin women’s perinatal health. We explore their challenges with the dual and often conflictual role as health peer-instructors-mediators in mother-and-child clinics, and also as members of a Bedouin community, embodying a status as women, mothers, and family caretakers. Drawn upon a feminist interpretative framework, the article describes their challenges in matters of perinatal health. Our research question is: how do women who traditionally suffer from blatant gender inequality utilize health-promotion work to navigate and empower themselves and other Bedouin women. Methods Based on an interpretive feminist framework, we performed narrative analysis on eleven in-depth interviews with health mediators who worked in a project in the Negev area of Israel. The article qualitatively analyses the ways in which Bedouin women mediators narrate their challenging situations. Results This article shows how difficult health mediators’ task may be for women with restricted education who struggle for autonomy and better social and maternal status. Through their praxis, women mediators develop a critical perspective without risking their commitments as women who are committed to their work as well as their society, communities, and families. These health mediators navigate their ways between the demands of their employer (the Israeli national mother and child health services) and their patriarchal Bedouin society. While avoiding open conflictual confrontations with both hegemonic powers, they also develop self-confidence and a critical and active approach. Conclusions The article shows the ways by which the mediator’s activity involved in perinatal health-promotion may utilize modern perinatal medical knowledge to increase women’s awareness and autonomy over their pregnant bodies and their role as caregivers. We hope our results will be applicable for other women as well, especially for women who belong to other traditional and patriarchal societies.

This article describes a teaching exercise used in an undergraduate abnormal psychology course to strengthen students' critical-thinking abilities. Students complete a term paper critiquing a book that is itself a critique of the conventional wisdom in the field. Several books representing a variety of unconventional perspectives are available. The exercise aims at increasing students' historical perspective on the field and at confronting them with controversial issues. It also requires students to engage in an active dialogue with their instructor about an issue raised by the book. This dialogue culminates in the students defining a clear personal position on that issue. The exercise is consistent with an active approach to learning.

Von Industrierobotern wird zunehmend eine hohe Bahn genauigkeit und ein gutes Störunterdrückungsverhalten gefordert. Um dem gerecht zu werden, wird hier ein semiaktiver Dämpfungsansatz vorgestellt, der Antriebsstrangschwingungen aktorbasiert dämpft. Damit geht ein stärker gedämpftes Systemverhalten einher, wodurch sich die Regelverstärkungsfaktoren erhöhen lassen. Das Resultat ist ein verbessertes Gesamtverhalten, das an einem „Kr210–2“ von Kuka mit semiaktiver Dämpfung an Achse 1 nachgewiesen wird.   Industrial robots are increasingly required to provide high path accuracy and good disturbance rejection behavior. In order to achieve this, a semi-active damping approach is presented, which damps drive train vibrations actuator-based. This leads to a more damped system behavior, allowing control gains to be increased. The result is an improved overall behavior, which is demonstrated on a Kuka Kr210–2 with semi-active damping on axis 1.
