Familienforschung - Familiensoziologie: einleitende Bemerkungen

'In diesen einleitenden Bemerkungen nimmt der Moderator der Familienwissenschaftlichen Konferenz Stellung zum Verhältnis zwischen Familienpsychologie und Familiensoziologie, zum wachsenden Einfluss der Rational-Choice-Theorie auf letztere, sowie während der Tagung recht lebhaften Debatte über Stabilität und Wandel des Familienleitbildes im 20. Jahrhundert. Abschließend plädiert er für eine Dekomposition des so stark einheitsbetonten Familienbegriff.' (Autorenreferat)'In his introductory remarks, the chairman of the Conference on the State of the Art in Family Research - that took place on March 19th and 20th 2006 in Bamberg and was jointly organised by the State Institute for Family Research at the University of Bamberg and the Zeitschrift für Familienforschung (Journal of Family Research) - comments on the relationship between family psychology and family sociology, on the increasing impact of rational-choice theory on family sociology as well as on the debate on stability and change of the overall concept of family during the 20th century that was so vibrant during this conference. The author concludes his remarks by pleading for a decomposition of the concept of the family as an all encompassing unit.' (author's abstract

Cooperación, comunicación y sociedad: escenarios europeos y latinoamericanos

Como resultado de los debates y reflexiones generados en el marco de la XV edición de la Cátedra Europa surge este libro, en el que se recopilan algunos de los temas tratados en el marco de este evento por destacados investigadores de diferentes instituciones de Colombia y Europa, quienes nos permiten acercarnos transversalmente a interesantes temas que hoy siguen estando en las primeras líneas de debate actual en nuestras instituciones y sociedades. El espíritu que representa este libro, la integración y el trabajo colaborativo para acercarnos a diferentes perspectivas, lo cual cobra mucha importancia en un mundo cada vez más convulso, como resultado del recrudecimiento de la crisis que hoy afecta a los países considerados hasta ahora desarrollados, mientras que los ubicados en el marco de las “vías en desarrollo” comienzan a dejar de serlo para convertirse en referentes en medio de este difícil escenario global. Si hacemos uso de lo señalado por el rey de España en el marco de la pasada Cumbre de Estados Iberoamericanos, realizada en Cádiz en 2012, al momento de destacar la necesidad de que España estreche lazos con Iberoamérica para superar la crisis, creemos que el mundo de hoy necesita de espacios que ayuden a crear puentes sólidos y estrechos entre ambas orillas. Es por esto que los 7 capítulos que integran este libro buscan contribuir a este acercamiento. El “puente” que seguimos construyendo a través de este libro mira al pasado, presente y futuro de varios temas de especial relevancia. En los 7 tramos (capítulos) podremos tener acceso a reflexiones en torno a la cooperación Sur-Sur que comienza a cobrar fuerza en Colombia y el resto de América Latina, el proceso de adaptación que viven los migrantes colombianos en España, un abordaje reflexivo de la realidad social desde el punto de vista de uno de los principales teóricos sociales alemanes (Luhmann); pero además aborda el rol que están teniendo las redes sociales y el conectivismo desde las escuelas y las organizaciones no gubernamentales y el uso del lenguaje nazi y la enseñanza del alemán como lengua extranjera. Cada uno de los aportes de los diferentes autores de este libro esperamos que ayuden a un acercamiento transversal de una diversidad de temas, y a seguir abonando el terreno que, hoy más que nunca, necesita ser trabajado para que se logre superar la actual crisis social que vive el mundo, desde un marco en el que la perspectiva Norte-Sur se rompa a favor de un diálogo más igualitario entre todas las partes

A global perspective on marine photosynthetic picoeukaryote community structure

A central goal in ecology is to understand the factors affecting the temporal dynamics and spatial distribution of microorganisms and the underlying processes causing differences in community structure and composition. However, little is known in this respect for photosynthetic picoeukaryotes (PPEs), algae that are now recognised as major players in marine CO2 fixation. Here, we analysed dot blot hybridisation and cloning–sequencing data, using the plastid-encoded 16S rRNA gene, from seven research cruises that encompassed all four ocean biomes. We provide insights into global abundance, α- and β-diversity distribution and the environmental factors shaping PPE community structure and composition. At the class level, the most commonly encountered PPEs were Prymnesiophyceae and Chrysophyceae. These taxa displayed complementary distribution patterns, with peak abundances of Prymnesiophyceae and Chrysophyceae in waters of high (25:1) or low (12:1) nitrogen:phosphorus (N:P) ratio, respectively. Significant differences in phylogenetic composition of PPEs were demonstrated for higher taxonomic levels between ocean basins, using Unifrac analyses of clone library sequence data. Differences in composition were generally greater between basins (interbasins) than within a basin (intrabasin). These differences were primarily linked to taxonomic variation in the composition of Prymnesiophyceae and Prasinophyceae whereas Chrysophyceae were phylogenetically similar in all libraries. These data provide better knowledge of PPE community structure across the world ocean and are crucial in assessing their evolution and contribution to CO2 fixation, especially in the context of global climate change

Global patient outcomes after elective surgery: prospective cohort study in 27 low-, middle- and high-income countries.

BACKGROUND: As global initiatives increase patient access to surgical treatments, there remains a need to understand the adverse effects of surgery and define appropriate levels of perioperative care. METHODS: We designed a prospective international 7-day cohort study of outcomes following elective adult inpatient surgery in 27 countries. The primary outcome was in-hospital complications. Secondary outcomes were death following a complication (failure to rescue) and death in hospital. Process measures were admission to critical care immediately after surgery or to treat a complication and duration of hospital stay. A single definition of critical care was used for all countries. RESULTS: A total of 474 hospitals in 19 high-, 7 middle- and 1 low-income country were included in the primary analysis. Data included 44 814 patients with a median hospital stay of 4 (range 2-7) days. A total of 7508 patients (16.8%) developed one or more postoperative complication and 207 died (0.5%). The overall mortality among patients who developed complications was 2.8%. Mortality following complications ranged from 2.4% for pulmonary embolism to 43.9% for cardiac arrest. A total of 4360 (9.7%) patients were admitted to a critical care unit as routine immediately after surgery, of whom 2198 (50.4%) developed a complication, with 105 (2.4%) deaths. A total of 1233 patients (16.4%) were admitted to a critical care unit to treat complications, with 119 (9.7%) deaths. Despite lower baseline risk, outcomes were similar in low- and middle-income compared with high-income countries. CONCLUSIONS: Poor patient outcomes are common after inpatient surgery. Global initiatives to increase access to surgical treatments should also address the need for safe perioperative care. STUDY REGISTRATION: ISRCTN5181700
