A new viral illness called coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently spreading throughout the world at an alarming rate (Dong et al., 2020). As family nursing practitioners, educators, and researchers, we work from a guiding assumption that health and “illness is a family affair” (Wright & Bell, 2009, p. ix). Patients, clients, residents, and their families are inextricably connected. The science and practice of Family Nursing is based on a systemic premise offered by Wright and Leahey (2013) that serious illness and life challenges impact the family unit, and reciprocally, the functioning of the family unit (including their structure, development, and function) influences the health and well-being of each family member. This especially holds true for the current coronavirus pandemic which is creating unique hardships and suffering in an alarmingly large number of patients and their families around the world.

In Western Europe, cities that host International Organizations (IOs) have to deal with more and more competition. The last decade many IOs settled in Eastern European and Asian countries. Distributing IOs over several cities in Europe for reasons of political balance and give-and-take among governments play a role in these decisions. However, public policy networks are more and more operational in these negotiations. Apart from the political and administrative actors, others – as private actors and external lobbyists – play a role as well. This often leads to increased complexity and ineffective decisions. This paper examines four cases in which political gameplay influenced the location decision-making of IOs in The Hague and Geneva. First, I will introduce the subject, research method and the four cases. Second, I will discuss how public policy networks are increasingly complicating factors to the settling processes of IOs. Third, a reconstruction of the settlement processes of four IOs will illustrate this.

Immersieve technologieën beïnvloeden de manier waarop we muziek ervaren. Immersieve ervaringen dompelen luisteraars volledig onder in muziek, waardoor ze niet alleen horen, maar de muziek ook beleven. Het doel van het project 'De toekomst van immersieve ervaringen in muziek' is om de toekomstige mogelijkheden van immersieve ervaringen in de muziekindustrie te verkennen en te begrijpen. Dit helpt ons om de toekomst van muziekbeleving te duurzaam te verbeteren. We onderzochten hoe nieuwe technologieën de luisterervaring kunnen transformeren, zoals spatial audio, Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) en Mixed Reality (MR). We hebben deze nieuwe creatieve mogelijkheden en technologische vooruitgang verkend. De hieruit voortgekomen toekomstscenarios bieden een kader om de evolutie van traditionele geluidsdragers naar digitale en immersieve media te doorgronden. Met dit project willen we inspireren en nieuwe manieren van denken stimuleren, zodat de huidige muziekervaringen kunnen worden verrijkt met innovatieve, meeslepende concepten.

OBJECTIVE: Develop a generic trans-disciplinary, skills-based capability framework for health professionals providing care for people with OA.DESIGN: e-Delphi survey. An international inter-professional Delphi Panel (researchers; clinicians; consumer representatives) considered a draft framework (adapted from elsewhere) of 131 specific capabilities mapped to 14 broader capability areas across four domains (A: person-centred approaches; B: assessment, investigation and diagnosis; C: management, interventions and prevention; D: service and professional development). Over three rounds, the Panel rated their agreement (Likert or numerical rating scales) on whether each specific capability in Domains B and C was essential (core) for all health professionals when providing care for all people with OA. Those achieving consensus (≥80% of Panel) rating of ≥ seven out of ten (Round 3) were retained. Generic domains (A and D) were included in the final framework and amended based on Panel comments.RESULTS: 173 people from 31 countries, spanning 18 disciplines and including 26 consumer representatives, participated. The final framework comprised 70 specific capabilities across 13 broad areas i) communication; ii) person-centred care; iii) history-taking; iv) physical assessment; v) investigations and diagnosis; vi) interventions and care planning; vii) prevention and lifestyle interventions; viii) self-management and behaviour change; ix) rehabilitative interventions; x) pharmacotherapy; xi) surgical interventions; xii) referrals and collaborative working; and xiii) evidence-based practice and service development).CONCLUSION: Experts agree that health professionals require an array of skills in person-centred approaches; assessment, investigation and diagnosis; management, interventions and prevention; and service and professional development to provide optimal care for people with OA.

Het hanteren van muizen aan de staart wekt bij de dieren een stressrespons op. Deze techniek is echter in de meeste laboratoria nog steeds gebruikelijk. Reden hiervoor ligt grotendeels bij het praktische aspect van het gebruik van deze techniek. Of hanteren met behulp van een buis, dat minder stress veroorzaakt bij de muizen, praktisch toepasbaar is, is de kern van dit onderzoek.

In dit artikel wordt het spanningsveld tussen uitingsvrijheid en godsdienstvrijheid geschetst. Mag je alles zeggen wat je wil? Bestaat er een recht op kwetsen? Het begon met het boek De Duivelsverzen van Salman Rushdie. Bijna twintig jaar later was er de affaire rond de Mohammed-cartoons in de Deense krant Jyllands Posten. Pim Fortuyn en Theo van Gogh wakkerden met gepeperde uitspraken en felle columns het debat aan. Bijna alle kwesties gingen over de verhouding tussen moslims en niet-moslims. De auteur maakt onderscheid tussen een juridische en een moraliteitsoptiek. Hij meent dat de morele grens daar wordt overschreden waar iemand met een artistieke, literaire of journalistieke uiting doelbewust de intentie heeft om anderen te kwetsen.

Problems with communication and collaboration among perinatal caregivers threaten the quality and safety of care given to mothers and babies. Good communication and collaboration are critical to safe care for mothers and babies. In this study the researchers focused on studies examining the factors associated with good communication and collaboration as they occur in working routines in maternity care practice. Their study is part of a growing trend of identifying the positive aspects of communication and collaboration in maternity care.
