Mit der Verabschiedung des § 17d des Krankenhausentgeltgesetzes zur "Einführung eines pauschalierenden Entgeltsystems für psychiatrische und psychosomatische Einrichtungen" im Jahre 2009 wurde ein Systemwechsel der Vergütungsform und der Fallabbildung der psychiatrischen und psychosomatischen stationären Versorgung in Gang gesetzt. Die Autoren - allesamt erfahrede Managementmitarbeiter aus dem Gesundheitswesen - schildern ihre Erfahrungen bei der Entwicklung und Umsetzung der neuen Anforderungen an die Kliniken in der Einführungsphase. Das Ziel der Kosten- und Leistungstransparenz geht einher mit einem hohen Dokumentationsaufwand, der eine Reorganisation des Behandlungsmanagements und des Therapiealltags seitens der Leistungserbringer und der ökonomischen wie der personellen Führung mit sich bringt. Das neue Vergütungssystem für den Bereich der Psychiatrie und Psychosomatik soll ab 2013 optional und ab 2014 für alle Einrichtungen nach § 17d gelten. Zur Zielgruppe dieses Buches gehören die Entscheidungs- sowie die ausführenden Ebenen der betroffenen Gesundheitsunternehmen.
Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.
A thought provoking study of the powerful impact of images in guiding astronomers' understanding of galaxies through time.
"This document offers an excellent explanation of the concept of empowerment and develops a very useful framework for disentangling and clarifying the concept. It is both practical and well justified on the basis of the literature. The approach and survey instruments developed to measure empowerment are innovative and very useful. Developing an approach to empirically measure empowerment, and to track empowerment indicators over time in a way that is operationally feasible and consistent with World Bank standards is certainly an outstanding achievement."Reginer Birner, Senior Researc.

Since the end of legal segregation in schools, most research on educational inequality has focused on economic and other structural obstacles to the academic achievement of disadvantaged groups. But in Contesting Stereotypes and Creating Identities, a distinguished group of psychologists and social scientists argue that stereotypes about the academic potential of some minority groups remain a significant barrier to their achievement. This groundbreaking volume examines how low institutional and cultural expectations of minorities hinder their academic success, how these stereotypes are perpetuated, and the ways that minority students attempt to empower themselves by redefining their identiti...

Cytometry is characterization and measurement of cells and cellular constituents, most often used to immunophenotype cells - that is, to distinguish healthy cells from diseased cells. Flow Cytometry specifically is quite sensitive, allowing researchers to detect rare cell types and residual levels of disease, and as such has been the method of choice for important studies such as monitoring the blood of AIDS patients. For this reason, there is a great need for a practical, comprehensive manual that will be useful across a broad range of laboratories. This volume, as part of the Reliable Lab Solution Series, delivers such a tool, offering busy researchers across many disciplines a handy resource of all the best methods and protocols for Cytometry to use at the bench. - Highlights top downloaded and cited chapters, authored by pioneers in the field and enhanced with their tips, and pitfalls to avoid - Loaded with detailed protocols developed and used by leaders in the field - Refines, organizes and updates popular methods from one of our top selling series, Methods in Cell Biology
Major macroeconomic realignments are affecting prospects differentially across the world’s countries and regions. The April 2016 WEO examines the causes and implications of these realignments—including the slowdown and rebalancing in China, a further decline in commodity prices, a related slowdown in investment and trade, and declining capital flows to emerging market and developing economies—which are generating substantial uncertainty and affecting the outlook for the global economy. Additionally, analytical chapters examine the slowdown in capital flows to emerging market economies since their 2010 peak—its main characteristics, how it compares with past slowdowns, the factors tha...
