Romana Winkler untersucht den Einfluss des Pflegeheimeinzugs sowie ausgewählter Aspekte sozialer Ungleichheit auf die Lebensqualität pflege- und betreuungsbedürftiger älterer Menschen in Österreich. Dies erfolgt durch eine Längsschnittstudie beim Einzug in das Pflegeheim sowie eine und zwölf Wochen danach, und zwar durch eine Mehrebenenanalyse, die strukturelle Unterschiede zwischen Pflegeheimen mitberücksichtigt. Detailliert analysiert die Autorin Einflussfaktoren auf die Gesamt-Lebensqualität und Teilbereiche sowie Gründe für eine Verbesserung bzw. Verschlechterung. Sie liefert Anregungen für weitere Forschungsaktivitäten und konkrete Handlungsempfehlungen für die Praxis. Die Autorin Romana Winkler ist Geschäftsführerin des Landesverbands Altenpflege Steiermark und widmet ihre Forschung der Zielgruppe pflege- und betreuungsbedürftiger älterer Menschen.

This book discusses ethical questions surrounding research and innovation in military and humanitarian contexts. It focuses on human enhancement in the military. Recently, the availability of medical enhancement designed to make soldiers more capable of surviving during conflict, as well as enabling them to defeat their enemies, has emerged. Innovation and medical research in military and humanitarian contexts may thus yield positive effects, but simultaneously leads to a number of highly problematic ethical issues. The work contains contributions on medical ethics that take into account the specific roles and obligations of military and humanitarian health care providers and the ethical problems they encounter. They cover different aspects of research and innovation such as vaccine development, medical enhancement, compassionate and experimental drug use, research and application of new technologies such as wearables, “Humanitarian innovation” to cope with scarce resources, Biometrics, big data, etc.The book is of interest and importance to researchers and policy makers involved with human enhancement, medical research, and innovation in military and humanitarian missions.

This book presents the first systematic appreciation of Ovid's extensive influence on, and affinity with, modern visual culture. Some topics are directly related to Ovid; others exhibit features, characters, or themes analogous to those in his works. The book demonstrates the wide-ranging ramifications that Ovidian archetypes, especially from the Metamorphoses, have provoked in a modern artistic medium that did not exist in Ovid's time. It ranges from the earliest days of film history (Georges Méliès's discovery of screen metamorphosis) and theory (Gabriele D'Annunzio's fascination with the metamorphosis of Daphne; Sergei Eisenstein's concept of film sense) through silent films, classic sound films, commercial cinema, art-house and independent films to modernism and the C.G.I. era. Films by well-known directors, including Ingmar Bergman, Walerian Borowczyk, Jean Cocteau, Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick, Fritz Lang, Max Ophuls, Alain Resnais, and various others, are analyzed in detail.
