Lobbyismus in der Sozialen Arbeit? Ist er nicht eine Form von Kommunikation in der Leitung von sozialbetrieblichen Unternehmen, Vereinen und Wohlfahrtsverbänden, die wegen ihrer ethisch negativen Konnotationen von Sozialarbeiterinnen und Sozialarbeitern begrifflich gemieden und kaum praktiziert wird? Schwerpunkt dieser Arbeit ist die Beschreibung von praktizierten Formen des Lobbyismus in Sozialverbänden und Sozialbetrieben in Deutschland und Österreich. Aktuelle Strukturen und Strategien von Lobbying in der Jugendsozialarbeit werden mit Hilfe einer qualitativen, dezidiert einzelfallorientierten Inhaltsanalyse in problemzentrierten Experteninterviews analysiert und erkennbar gemacht.

Hans Fallada was a drug addict, womanizer, alcoholic, jailbird and thief. This title tells the story of Hans Fallada, whose real name was Rudolf Ditzen. It chronicles his turbulent life as a writer, husband and father, shadowed by mental torment and long periods in psychiatric care.
Forschen gewinnt in der jungen wissenschaftlichen Disziplin der Sozialen Arbeit auf wissenschaftlicher und praktischer Ebene immer mehr an Bedeutung. Studierende des Masterstudiengangs 'Soziale Arbeit und Forschung' der FH Münster geben in ihren Beiträgen Einblicke in die Umsetzung von quantitativen und qualitativen Forschungsarbeiten, die sie im Rahmen ihrer dreisemestrigen Forschungsprojekte in unterschiedlichen Arbeitsfeldern - von der Jugend- bis zur Altenhilfe - durchgeführt haben. Die Beiträge zeichnen sich durch die Perspektive angehender Wissenschaftler*innen aus. Sie sollen anderen Studierenden der Sozialen Arbeit und Interessierten einerseits thematisch und methodisch Anregungen für eigene Forschungsvorhaben bieten und andererseits auf mögliche Stolpersteine im Forschungsprozess hinweisen, indem aufgetretene Herausforderungen offen thematisiert werden. Somit bilden die Artikel dieses Bandes im Modus reflexiver First-Practice ein Kontrastprogramm zur Lektüre formvollendeter Studien erfahrener Forschungsteams.
Das Lehrbuch bietet eine umfassende, theoriebasierte und praxisnahe Einführung zum Lobbying der Sozialen Arbeit. Soziale Dienste, deren Handlungsbedingungen wesentlich politisch konstituiert sind, brauchen eine professionelle Interessenvertretung. Wer die Qualität Sozialer Arbeit verbessern will, muss auch ihre Politikfähigkeit steigern. Das Lehrbuch analysiert hierzu Grundfragen, Herausforderungen und Dilemmata des Soziallobbyings, erarbeitet Einflusschancen auf unterschiedlichen Ebenen der Politik, untersucht förderliche Bedingungen politischen Wandels und zeigt Wege und Instrumente einer gelingenderen Praxis des Soziallobbyings.
In German music education, the focus has historically been on formal music education in schools. Participatory music making in the community, or community music, has so far received little attention in theory or practice. This thesis constitutes the first in-depth analysis of the development of community music in Germany, conducted using empirical data and literature analysis. The development of the Munich Community Music Action Research Group is highlighted as an example of the potential of community music in the German context. The research shows that the context-specific development of a framework for community music in Germany, within the community music spirit of participation reflected...
Given the versatile utility of the determinination of epitopes, beneficial to a wide variety of scientists from immunologists to structural biologists to biotechnologists, the need for a thorough, state-of-the-art collection of experimental protocols is clear. In Epitope Mapping Protocols, Second Edition, expert contributors from a broad spectrum of scientific backgrounds update and expand the successful first edition with cutting-edge techniques and applications, including approaches to both antibody or B-cell epitope mapping and T-cell epitope mapping as well as a new section on the profiling of antibody signatures in biological fluids. Written in the popular Methods in Molecular BiologyTM series format, chapters include brief introductions to the topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and Notes sections, which highlight tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Epitope Mapping Protocols, Second Edition is a reliable and valuable reference for all those who wish to understand and further investigate the diversifying field of epitope mapping.
There have been important developments in materials and therapies for the treatment of spinal conditions. Biomaterials for spinal surgery summarises this research and how it is being applied for the benefit of patients.After an introduction to the subject, part one reviews fundamental issues such as spinal conditions and their pathologies, spinal loads, modelling and osteobiologic agents in spinal surgery. Part two discusses the use of bone substitutes and artificial intervertebral discs whilst part three covers topics such as the use of injectable biomaterials like calcium phosphate for vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty as well as scoliosis implants. The final part of the book summarises devel...
Optic nerve sheath meningioma (ONSM) is a rare tumour. Cases are usually separated into primary ONSM, which arises either intraorbitally or, less commonly, intracanalicularly, and secondary ONSM, which arises intracranially and subsequently invades the optic canal and orbit. This is the first book to cover all important aspects of the diagnosis and treatment of primary ONSM. After a general introduction, individual chapters discuss the clinical presentation, clinical examination and diagnosis, imaging, and histology. Treatment options are then addressed in detail, with special emphasis on external beam radiation therapy, and in particular stereotactic fractionated radiation therapy. The latter has recently produced consistently good results and is now considered the emerging treatment of choice for the vast majority of patients with primary ONSM. This well-illustrated book will prove invaluable to all practitioners who encounter primary ONSM in their clinical work.
This book introduces the clinical application of ABO-incompatible transplantation. In the first part, it starts with the history, blood group antigen, antibody associated with ABO blood type, pathophysiology and pathology and related knowledge. In the second part, it covers clinical experience sharing of ABO-incompatible of heart, liver, lung and kidney transplantation. It provides a systematic methodologies and protocols.
We have all been hypoxic. Fetal tolerance for intrauterine hypoxia arises from evolutionarily conserved physiological mechanisms, the antecedents of which can be learned from diving mammals or species at high altitudes. Understanding fetal hypoxia leads to understanding the huge physiological shifts of neonatal transition and the dangers of perinatal hypoxia. This comprehensive volume of topical review articles by expert authors addresses the origins of hypoxia tolerance, the impact of oxygen on circulatory transition at birth, and the biochemistry of hypoxia in the pulmonary circuit, as well as the classification, diagnosis, and clinical management of hypoxic respiratory failure and persist...
