Ein offener Brief an Rothschild: Zu den merkwürdigen Veränderungen der letzten Zeit, welche ganz Europa umstalteten, gehört auch der große Verlust, den das Haus Rothschild erlitten ...

Welsch (Projektbearbeiter): Vergleich der gemeinnützigen Aktivitäten des Bankiers Rothschild mit denen des verstorbenen Wiener Industriellen und Philanthropen Herman Tedesco: "... jeder Bedrängte erhielt da eine Unterstützung; den Herrn Baron aber [Rothschild] kann man nur in Geschäftsangelegenheiten sprechen ... Eine Vergrößerung der jährlichen Spenden mit 100.000 fl. Conv. Münze würde diesem Manne [Rothschild] auch jetzt nichts schaden und sehr viel Elend von den Leidenden abwenden"

Institutional shifts in inter-municipal service delivery:an analysis of developments in eight Western European countries

Comparative research on inter-municipal cooperation in eight European countries shows that there is a great variety of institutional arrangements for cooperation across the different countries. Also, these arrangements tend to change over time in terms of the scope of cooperation among partners, their composition and the degree of organizational integration. This article describes and analyzes the variety of and shifts in institutional arrangements for a specific class of inter-municipal cooperation arrangements: those that are set up to provide for the joint delivery of public services. It is argued that specific arrangements are typically the outcomes of interaction between national institutional contexts,?environmental factors and local preferences.

Effects of a positive emotion-based adjuvant psychological therapy in colorectal cancer patients: a pilot study

Objective: To examine the effectiveness of an “Enhancing Positive Emotions Procedure” (EPEP) based on positive psychology and cognitive behavioral therapy in relieving distress at the time of adjuvant chemotherapy treatment in colorectal cancer patients (CRC). It is expected that EPEP will increase quality of life and positive affect in CRC patients during chemotherapy treatment intervention and at 1 month follow-up.Method: A group of 24 CRC patients received the EPEP procedure (intervention group), whereas another group of 20 CRC patients did not receive the EPEP (control group). Quality of life (EORTC-QLQC30), and mood (PANAS) were assessed in three moments: prior to enter the study (T1), at the end of the time required to apply the EPEP (T2, 6 weeks after T1), and, at follow-up (T3, one-month after T2). Patient’s assessments of the EPEP (improving in mood states, and significance of the attention received) were assessed with Lickert scales.Results: Insomnia was reduced in the intervention group. Treatment group had better scores on positive affect although there were no significantly differences between groups and over time. There was a trend to better scores at T2 and T3 for the intervention group on global health status, physical, role, and social functioning scales. Patients stated that positive mood was enhanced and that EPEP was an important resource.Conclusions: CRC patients receiving EPEP during chemotherapy believed that this intervention was important. Furthermore, EPEP seems to improve positive affect and quality of life. EPEP has potential benefits, and its implementation to CRC patients should be considered.

Bienestar psicológico, optimismo y resiliencia en mujeres con cáncer de mama

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between Perceived Psychological well-being, Optimism and Resilience in women survivors of breast cancer.Method: The sample was composed of 30 women diagnosed with breast cancer who were undergoing adjuvant treatment in Oncology Units General Hospital of Jerez de la Frontera and the University Hospital Puerta del Mar (Cadiz). The average age was 47.47 years (SD = 6,356) and the average of months from diagnosis of the disease was 9.93 (SD = 8,541). Scale of Psychological Well-being administered Perceived Ryff (1989), the Life Orientation Test Revised (LOT-R) Scheier, Carver and Bridges (1994) and the Scale of Resilience Wagnild and Young (1993) to assess psychological well-being the dispositional optimism and resilience respectivelyResults: Descriptive analyzes show that women diagnosed with breast cancer have levels of psychological well-being, dispositional optimism and higher than the average values provided by Resilience scales. On the other hand, regression analyses revealed that only some of the dimensions of resilience allowed to explain and predict some dimensions of psychological wellbeing, not dispositional optimism.Conclusions: The results seem to confirm the idea that if the capacity of women with breast moderate negative affect generated by the diagnosis itself and the consequences of their cancer treatment works and to promote their adaptation to the new situation we can contribute to increasing psychological well-being.

I fredlig hamn : Hur en fredlig hamn påverkades under en fientlig tid: Gävle Hamn under andra världskriget 1939-1945

Gävle hamn under andra världskriget är ett tidigare outforskat område. I denna uppsats undersöks hur hamnens verksamhet samt ekonomi påverkades under krigsåren 1939-1945. Uppsatsen fokuserar på stuveriarbetarförbundet samt den kommunala hamnstyrelsen. Vidare så undersöks huruvida det fanns dokumenterade åsikter angående Nazityskland och eventuella moraliska dilemman som uppstod i samband med handeln mellan Gävle hamn och Nazityskland. Resultatet visar att Nazitysklands ockupation av Danmark och Norge, samt spärren i Skagerack, som innebar ett stop för sjöfart mellan Östersjön och Atlanten, påverkade Gävle hamns verksamhet i stor utsträckning. Detta ledde till att Nazityskland var den enda möjliga stora handelspartnern för svenska Östersjöhamnar, vilket innebar att ekonomin och verksamheten i Gävle hamn upplevde störst nedgång efter att Nazitysklands krigslycka hade vänt. Dokumenterad kritik från stuveriarbetarförbundet mot Nazityskland var sparsam till mängden, men ökade något mot slutet av kriget.
