Der volle Inhalt der QuelleBackground: Cancer is one of the world's most common diseases and the second most common cause of death. Patients' right to participate in care and treatment is statutory and underpins medical treatment and care. Seeing the person behind the patient is important to understand their life world. Nursing's basic care role is to support patients with what they do not manage. Objective: To describe patients' experience of how the nurse can promote a good care relationship, at an oncology department. Method: The study is a literature review. The data material consisted of twelve qualitative, three quantitative and two mixed designed scientific articles. Results: The analyzed result is presented in four different main themes and associated subheadings. These main themes are: Treatment and information as a basis for the care relationship, Relieving patient needs, Emotional support, Creation of a close care relationship. Discussion: The discussion shows that patients need personalized information and support. In order for this to happen, the nurse must be able to identify the patient's needs. Unless the needs are met, it can create an unnecessary care suffering for the patient. A good care relationship is therefore based on the patient feeling safe and seen in the care.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleChildren of all ages meet nurses in care, in both planned and unplanned encounters throughout their childhood. The foundation in a successful encounter with children is trust. The purpose of this general literature study was to describe children’s and nurse’s experiences of creating trustful encounters with children. The study was conducted with a deductive approach based on Randall, Brook and Stammers (2008) theory To make a good children’s nurse when caring for children. 13 results articles were selected from searches in seven databases and were reviewed to be categorized based on the theory of creating a good nurse for children. The result emerged in three main themes. Nurses primarily need calmness in the encounter with children, be fun and must connect with the children. The environment in which the care is conducted is also essential in creating a good caring encounter. The conclusion of this literature study is that the theory of creating a good nurse for children could be of great benefit for nurses in their work to create good caring encounter.

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleMy work explores this dual shift in three sentimental novels. It first analyzes Samuel Richardson's Pamela (1740) and contends that Richardson denies the concept of honor its epistemological role in practical deliberations. The denial of the epistemology of honor uncouples the mechanism of personal trust from assessments of role and role performance and thus makes the trust in persons in the intimate sphere less dependent on institutional forms of trust. To replace honor's role in the formation of trust, Richardson proposes that the sentiments can provide reliable grounds for trust in the intimate sphere. However, he denies the sentiments a role in the formation of an encompassing social trust among strangers and mere acquaintances. The thesis proceeds to read Henry Fielding's Amelia (1751). In order to argue that Fielding envisioned divergent grounds for trust relations, it maintains that Fielding considers trust relations in the intimate sphere and trust relations in public life as based on the sentiments and fair distribution respectively. To conclude, the thesis investigates Oliver Goldsmith's The Vicar of Wakefield (1766) to uncover the manner in which Goldsmith distinguishes personal trust in the intimate sphere from general system trust, which Goldsmith ultimately envisions as an ontological trust in providence.

This research investigates the connection between ethics and aesthetics in the representation of violence in the novel Cidade de Deus by Paulo Lins. The intense presence of violence in Brazilian history is articulated not only with forms and themes, but also with the ways artists express themselves, including in literature. The so-called crime fiction literature, which Cidade de Deus stands out as an example of, shows violence in an urban context as the main theme. This research aims to contribute to the studies on representations of violence and their meanings in literature and how that advanced Brazilian literary criticism, by analyzing the formal features and thematic aspects of the novel Cidade de Deus. We attempt to analyze the description of violence in the book, especially regarding the limits and representation possibilities within the ethical sphere, considering how it s impossible to represent the catastrophe. Issues we address are: the author s point of view and how he represents it; the outlines for representing extreme situations, which cannot be compared to anything other situation; the fact that the representation of violence brings implications to realism and the insight built by Paulo Lins and the possible connections between the representation of violence in the novel and the concepts of trauma, testimony, and melancholy, the way they have current been used in critical literary. The results show that Cidade de Deus can t be considered a testimonio due to the fact that this genre is set in post-dictatorial Latin America, despite its POV-style (Point of View) content, among other reasons, because it does not present a hesitant and unreliable narrator. We have also demonstrated that the insight s effect, hailed by critics, consists of literary and non-literary aspects and procedures. Moreover, we conclude and try to prove that Lins's novel is irregular, since it occasionally brings the representation of violence in order to encompass multiple meanings; in other times, it brings joy through stereotypical representations of violence. The theoretical framework is grounded in the proposals of Karl Erik Schollhammer, Tania Pellegrini, Jaime Ginzburg, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, Antonio Candido, Beatriz Resende and Hal Foster
Esta pesquisa consiste em investigar imbricamentos éticos e estéticos da representação da violência no romance Cidade de Deus, de Paulo Lins. A intensa e contínua presença da violência na História do Brasil está articulada tanto com as formas e os temas das manifestações artísticas brasileiras contemporâneas, inclusive as literárias, como com seus modos de produção e recepção. A chamada literatura marginal, da qual Cidade de Deus é um dos principais representantes, traz a violência, via contexto urbano, como protagonista. Procuramos apreender a inscrição da violência nesta obra, especialmente no que se refere aos limites e possibilidades de representação dentro da esfera da ética, considerando a própria impossibilidade da representação da catástrofe. As questões-problemas que abordamos dizem respeito à contaminação do ponto de vista e às questões de representatividade do autor; aos contornos dados para situações-limite, que não admitem termos de comparação; às implicações que a representação da violência traz ao realismo e à visão interna construídos por Paulo Lins, e às possibilidades de relação da representação da violência no romance com os conceitos de trauma, testemunho e melancolia, da forma como eles têm sido trabalhados na crítica literária atualmente. Os resultados mostram que Cidade de Deus não pode ser considerado um testimonio da forma como este gênero se configurou na América Latina pós-ditatorial, entre outras razões, pelo fato de não constituir um narrador hesitante e não confiável , não obstante seu teor testemunhal. Demonstramos também que o efeito visão interna , festejado pela fortuna crítica do romance, é constituído por procedimentos e aspectos literários e extraliterários. Ademais, concluímos e procuramos demonstrar que a irregularidade marca o romance de Lins, uma vez que ele nos traz, em algumas passagens, a representação da violência de forma a engendrar múltiplos sentidos; em outras passagens, deixa-se levar pela fruição de um deleite causado pela representação estereotipada da violência. A fundamentação teórica assenta-se nas propostas de Karl Erik Schollhammer, Tânia Pellegrini, Jaime Ginzburg, Márcio Seligmann-Silva, Antonio Candido, Beatriz Resende e Hal Foster
Suave, Tonyglei. „Onde está o teu Deus? um estudo exegético dos Salmos 42 43“. Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo, 2012. https://tede2.pucsp.br/handle/handle/18310.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThe objective of this dissertation is to present an exegetic study of a biblical poem: Psalm 42 43. This undertaking is justified in the measure that the search for the original meaning of a text which is inspired by God and is the bearer of a universal message of salvation can favor reflection on one of the problems that most disturbs the human conscience: human suffering and faith in a God who is omnipotent and filled with benevolence. Due to the particular position of this poem [at the start of the section of the Psalter which proportionally speaks most of human suffering] and certain stylistic traces [the striking comparison at the beginning of the poem; the name of God mentioned 22 times; the tetragram in the middle of it to call attention to a particular attitude of the person praying] this research has as a hypothesis that these Psalms throw some light on the subject of God s presence in the lives of people who suffer. In the style of commentary, the research continues following the steps of synchronic analysis with some reference to diachronic analysis when necessary. It analyzing the literary beauty and certain cultural, historical and theological aspects of one of the sacred texts which was chosen as a model of prayer for Israel because it deals with one of the vital problems of the human being in a realistic and beautiful manner. As a result of this work five essential elements were discovered which appear to contribute towards reflection on the presence of God next to the suffering human person: 1) the importance of trust in God; 2) how the presence of God appears to be experienced as absence; 3) worship as a privileged manner of communication and communion with God; 4) the misunderstanding of God as one of the causes of the difficulty to deal with suffering; 5) confining the presence of God to only the Temple in Jerusalem as a theological limitation of this poem
A presente dissertação tem como objetivo apresentar um estudo exegético de um poema bíblico: Sl 42 43. Tal empreendimento se justifica na medida em que a busca pelo sentido original de um texto, que foi inspirado por Deus e é portador de uma mensagem universal de salvação, possa favorecer a reflexão sobre um dos problemas que mais perturba a consciência humana: o sofrimento humano e a crença em um Deus cheio de bondade e onipotente. Dada a singular posição deste poema encabeça a parte do Saltério que, proporcionalmente, mais fala de sofrimento humano e certos indícios estilísticos a impactante comparação no início do poema, o nome de Deus citado 22 vezes, o tetragrama no centro do poema para chamar a atenção a uma determinada atitude do orante esta pesquisa tem como hipótese que estes Salmos lançam alguma luz sobre a questão da presença de Deus junto ao ser humano sofredor. No estilo de comentário, a pesquisa avança seguindo os passos de uma análise sincrônica com acenos à diacronia, quando necessário, analisando a beleza literária e certos aspectos culturais, históricos e teológicos de um dos textos sagrados que foi escolhido como modelo de oração para Israel por ele tratar de um dos problemas vitais do ser humano de maneira realista e bela. Como resultado deste trabalho foram encontrados cinco elementos essenciais que parecem contribuir na reflexão sobre a presença de Deus junto ao ser humano que sofre, a saber: 1) a importância da confiança em Deus; 2) o modo da presença de Deus parece ser sua ausência sentida; 3) o culto como uma maneira privilegiada de comunicação e comunhão com Deus; 4) a incompreensão de Deus como uma das causas da dificuldade de se lidar com o sofrimento; 5) o confinamento da presença de Deus apenas ao Templo de Jerusalém como uma limitação teológica deste poema

Der volle Inhalt der QuelleAs a « bedrock of the legal order », the contract is not ignored by criminal law. Unquestionably present in many offences, the contract is the object of specific conceptions that the doctrine find here and there as signs of the autonomy of criminal law.However, the presentation of the contract in criminal law through the statement of fact that autonomous solutions exist, is not sufficient. It doesn’t allow establishment in a positive and rational way, the real definition of the contract in criminal law.By refusing transposition of the entire contractual settlement, current law expresses the principle of a selection and that the purpose of criminal law may clarify it in a decisive way.Then, the contract in criminal law appears, resulting of a functional selection from the dispositions of contractual settlement: only the ones which maintain the aim of criminal law must be distinguished
Daly, Marwa El. „Challenges and potentials of channeling local philanthropy towards development and aocial justice and the role of waqf (Islamic and Arab-civic endowments) in building community foundations“. Doctoral thesis, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Philosophische Fakultät III, 2012. http://dx.doi.org/10.18452/16511.
Der volle Inhalt der QuelleThis work provides a solid theoretical base on philanthropy, religious giving (Islamic zakat, ‘ushour, Waqf -plural: awqaf-, Sadaqa and Christian tithes or ‘ushour), and their implications on giving trends, development work, social justice philanthropy. The field study (quantitative and qualitative) that supports the theoretical framework reflects at a national level the Egyptian public’s perceptions on philanthropy, social justice, human rights, giving and volunteering and other concepts that determine the peoples’ civic engagement. The statistics cover 2000 households, 200 Civil Society Organizations distributed all over Egypt and interviews donors, recipients, religious people and other stakeholders. The numbers reflect philanthropic trends and for the first time provide a monetary estimate of local philanthropy of over USD 1 Billion annually. The survey proves that the per capita share of philanthropy outweighs the per capita share of foreign economic assistance to Egypt, which implies the significance of local giving if properly channeled, and not as it is actually consumed in the vicious circle of ad-hoc, person to person charity. In addition, the study relates local giving mechanisms derived from religion and culture to modern actual structures, like community foundations or community waqf that could bring about sustainable change in the communities. In sum, the work provides a comprehensive scientific base to help understand- and build on local philanthropy in Egypt. It explores the role that local individual giving could play in achieving sustainable development and building a new wave of community foundations not only in Egypt but in the Arab region at large. As a tangible result of this thesis, an innovative model that revives the concept of waqf and builds on the study’s results was created by the researcher and a dedicated board of trustees who succeeded in establishing Waqfeyat al Maadi Community Foundation (WMCF) that not only introduces the community foundation model to Egypt, but revives and modernizes the waqf as a practical authentic philanthropic structure.
