Abstract:
In 1884, seven deaconesses from Iserlohn, Germany, came to the Philadelphia German Hospital to take over nursing care and hospital administration. This article deals with the preparation and implementation of deaconess rule at the German Hospital and conflicts during the tenure of the first two Sisters Superior, Marie Krueger (1826–1887) and Wanda von Oertzen (1845–1897). Recruitment of the deaconesses took place within a network of relations between German and American motherhouses. Before their arrival in Philadelphia, the benefactor of the German Hospital, John D. Lankenau (1817–1901), had committed himself to hospital rule by the Sister Superior. A Deaconess Committee was created to deal with the opposition of the Medical Board. Introducing deaconesses to the Philadelphia German Hospital led to a major change of medical personnel and allowed the hospital to develop a new corporate identity.

Abstract:
The splendor falls on castle walls And snowy summits old in story: The long light shakes across the lakes, And the wild cataract leaps in glory. Blow, bugle, blow, set the wild echoes flying, Blow, bugle; answer, echoes, dying, dying, dying. —from The Splendor Falls by Alfred, Lord Tennyson This is the story of the closure of a hospital and with it a part of American pediatric history. Children's Seashore House of Atlantic City is the nation's fourth oldest pediatric hospital. After 118 years, it will close in the summer of 1990 and move to a new facility in Philadelphia. The simple brick, layer-cake structure looks very tired now, its iconic soul having been steadily removed for incorporation into the new hospital. The cornerstone animals, lions and bighorn, have been chiseled free and now guard a new outpost. So too have the plaques from the turn of the century, optimistically commemorating the establishment of endowed beds, wards, and cottages "for perpetual use" with their benefactors of simplicity and gentleness by name, such as the "Endowed Bed of St James Sunday School, 1889" and "Endowed by the Everyday Kindness Society, 1912." On this day, the workers hammer to remove the final link—an enormous marble tablet from 1919 eulogizing Dr William Bennett, the principal driving force of Children's Seashore House and also the founder of St Christopher's Hospital in Philadelphia. A mere 50 yards away, the Atlantic Ocean beats inexorably as it did at the founding in 1872, 2 years after the first planks were laid for the famous boardwalk.

Abstract:
Abstract The films of Guy Maddin, from his debut feature Tales from the Gimli Hospital (1988) to his most recent one, The Forbidden Room (2015), draw extensively on the visual vocabulary and narrative conventions of 1920s and 1930s German cinema. These cinematic revisitations, however, are no mere exercise in sentimental cinephilia or empty pastiche. What distinguishes Maddin’s compulsive returns to the era of German Expressionism is the desire to both archive and awaken the past. Careful (1992), Maddin’s mountain film, reanimates an anachronistic genre in order to craft an elegant allegory about the apprehensions and anxieties of everyday social and political life. My Winnipeg (2006) rescores the city symphony to reveal how personal history and cultural memory combine to structure the experience of the modern metropolis, whether it is Weimar Berlin or wintry Winnipeg. In this paper, I explore the influence of German Expressionism on Maddin’s work as well as argue that Maddin’s films preserve and perpetuate the energies and idiosyncrasies of Weimar cinema.

Abstract:
Abstract Background Cervical spine injuries (CSI) are rare in trauma patients, at about 9.2–16.5/100,000 inhabitants in Scandinavia and Canada, and the annual incidence of CSI surgeries in Norway is around 3.0/100,000 inhabitants. However, despite their rarity, the incidence of CSI has increased, thereby assuming an increasing need for surgery. Outside of Scandinavia, no data about the incidence of CSI and subsequent surgeries exist. Therefore, this study aimed to analyse CSI epidemiology and surgery in a German city with a Level I trauma centre both to understand the injury and improve needs–based planning. Methods This retrospective, monocentre study included all patients who presented with CSI from 2012–2017 at a university hospital with a Level I trauma centre in a major German city and had permanent residency within the city. Based on the assumption that the patients represented all CSI injuries in the city, as they were treated at the only available Level I trauma centre, the annual incidence of surgeries and neurologic deficits due to CSI were calculated. Results A total of 465 patients with 609 CSI were identified. Of these patients, 61 both received surgery and resided in the city (mean age, 68.1 ± 18.3 years; 26 female, 35 male). The incidence of CSI surgeries was calculated as 3.24/100,000 person years (1.75/100,000 in the upper and 1.54/100,000 in the subaxial cervical spine). Neurologic deficits occurred in 0.64/100,000 person years. The incidence of both surgeries and neurologic deficits showed no significant changes over the 6-year study period. Conclusions Compared to Scandinavia, an increasing annual incidence for CSI surgeries and neurologic deficits were found. For long-term demand planning with adaptability to demographic changes, cross-regional studies including long-term follow-up are necessary.

Abstract:
This year Zemun Hospital - Clinical Hospital Center Zemun celebrates 230th anniversary of continuous work, thus becoming the oldest medical facility in Serbia. The exact date of the hospital founding has been often questioned in history. Various dates appeared in the literature, but the most frequent one was 25th of February 1784. Until now, the document which confirms this has never been published. This article represents the first official publication of the document which confirms that Zemun Hospital was indeed founded on this date. The first hospitals started emerging in Zemun when the town became a part of the Habsburg Monarchy. The first sanitary facility ever formed was the ?Kontumac? - a quarantine established in 1730. Soon after, two more confessional hospitals were opened. The Serbian (Orthodox) Hospital was founded before 1769, whereas the German (Catholic) Hospital started working in 1758. Both hospitals were financed, amongst others, by the Town Hall - the Magistrate. In order to improve efficiency of these hospitals, a decision was made to merge them into a single City Hospital. It was founded on 25th February 1784, when the General Command ordered the Magistrate of Zemun to merge the financess of all existing hospitals and initiate the construction of a new building. Although financially united, the hospitals continued working in separate buildings over a certain period of time. The final, physical merging of these hospitals was completed in 1795.

Abstract:
Abstract The Philadelphia where Paine arrived in the fall of 1774 was “the capital of the new world.” With a population of some 30,000, it was the largest city in English America, and its heterogeneous citizenry included Quakers, Anglicans and Catholics of English descent, German Lutherans and Mennonites and Scotch-Irish Presbyterians. Many of its citizens, like Paine, were recent arrivals; in the decade beginning in 1764, no fewer than 215 ships carrying immigrant indentured servants had reached the city from German and Irish ports alone, and on the eve of the Revolution, these two ethnic groups comprised about half the city’s population.

Abstract:
Abstract The University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine was the first and only medical school in the 13 American colonies when, in the fall of 1765, students enrolled for “anatomical lectures” and a course on “the theory and practice of physick.” They enrolled at the College of Philadelphia, which was the name of the University of Pennsylvania in pre-Revolutionary times. King’s College organized a medical faculty in 1767 and was the first institution in the North American colonies to confer the degree of doctor of medicine. The first graduates in medicine from the college were Robert Tucker and Samuel Kissarn, who received the degree of bachelor of medicine in May 1769 and that of doctor of medicine in May 1770 and May 1771, respectively. Instruction in medicine was given until interrupted by the Revolution and the occupation of New York by the British, which lasted until November 25, 1783. In 1784 instruction was resumed in the academic departments, and in December of the same year the medical faculty was reestablished. In 1814 the medical faculty of Columbia College was merged with the College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Abstract:
In the summer of 1777, thousands of soldiers under General Howe sailed from New York to Maryland, from where they would march north toward Philadelphia, the seat of the Continental Congress and at the time the largest city in British North America. Several thousand of the troops were Germans. A difficult campaign that involved numerous skirmishes and battles with the enemy culminated in Howe’s capture of Philadelphia. Although they appreciated being in a predominantly German region, the German troops quickly discovered that most German Americans did not welcome them with open arms. Moreover, a few months after their arrival, the campaign’s successes were overshadowed by what would turn out to be the Hessians’ bloodiest battle of the entire war, the Battle of Red Bank. During this period, some German officers were growing increasingly impatient with British military strategy.

Abstract:
Barker explains that the Medical Museum (Philadelphia) and the Medical Repository (New York City) were rare books in Maine that could not conveniently be purchased by young physicians. Because he was known to have an unusually good personal library, Barker was asked to excerpt some of the most extraordinary cases of consumption from those journals. For example, a twenty-year-old West Indian seaman died at New York Hospital with a diagnosis of phthisis pulmonalis manifested by extreme emaciation, cough, catarrh, and fever. On dissection the lungs showed no adhesions, no traces of organic lesions, and no inflammation. The physician was of the opinion that phthisis pulmonalis was “not always attended with tubercles and ulcers,” and that death was due to another cause. He suggested that in some cases the disease yielded to calomel, symptoms disappeared, but the patient still died.

Abstract Having Retired From Active Participation In His Printing Business in 1748, Benjamin Franklin entered a profitable eighteen-year partnership with David Hall thinking that his fortune would allow him to devote the rest of his life to scientific “Studies and Amusements.” As he related in his autobiography, however, “the Publick now considering me as a Man of Leisure, laid hold of me for their Purposes; every Part of our Civil Government, and almost at the same time, imposing some Duty upon me.” 1 Within a decade of quitting his trade, Franklin was elected to city offices and to the Assembly, was appointed joint deputy postmaster general for North America, and was occupied in military and political affairs at the outbreak of the French and Indian War. He also took the lead in establishing the University of Pennsylvania, the Pennsylvania Hospital, and the Philadelphia Contributorship, a fire insurance company.

Abstract:
Under German occupation in World War II, tens of thousands of sick and disabled people were killed in the occupied Soviet Union. Very few German perpetrators were convicted for these crimes by courts in the Federal Republic after the war, whereas in the Soviet Union hundreds of thousands of Soviet citizens were sentenced to long prison terms or death as Nazi collaborators. Using the example of the murder of more than 1,000 mentally ill people at a psychiatric hospital in the Black Sea port city of Kherson, this article examines how investigative authorities and courts in Germany and the Soviet Union dealt with guilt, and asks whether criminal prosecutions have productive effects compared to impunity, particularly with respect to the culture of remembrance.

Abstract:
Abstract Two-Party politics could tame farmer/worker radicalism because bourgeois/ middle-class ethos and politics pervaded centers of enterprise to cut deeply into the producer class. Ever since the onset of market revolution, the northeastern commercial gentry had been mustering cultural authority against democratic challenge to their political authority. The American bourgeoisie enlisted conservative clerics and the emerging professional/ intellectual elites of lawyers, doctors, professors, writers and artists to school all classes in a pansectarian middle-class culture of effortful “character” and self-improvement. Cultural capital Philadelphia was hobbled in this effort by Quaker privatism and denominational/party strife, while booming but equally divided New York City neglected “elegant & useful science” for “eager cultivation & rapid increase of the arts of gain.” Primacy in the capitalist surge-cultural as well as entrepreneurial and technological-passed to New England, where Puritanism sanctified effort and Bible-reading literacy, while topography brought water power almost to seaboard and agrarian crisis honed both labor and enterprise for manufacturing. Arminian/ antinomian polarities energized rival wings of the Yankee cultural offensive. Boston’s arminian Brahmins consolidated their commercial profits for industrialization and their Unitarian institutions for cultural preeminence through family marriage alliances, testamentary trusts, and generous endowment of Athenaeum library, Massachusetts General Hospital, Lowell Institute for public lectures, Massachusetts Historical Society, North American Review, and preeminently Harvard College.

Abstract:
This chapter recounts the author's first introduction to religion. She was raised by her religious nanny who took her to church, not only on Sundays, but whenever the nanny had a bit of time. However, when the author started attending school at the City School of Work, which was created by the socialist municipality, she experienced discrimination for being a Jew. The chapter then describes the author's father, who was a doctor and worked in a hospital but had a private practice at home as well. Though he did not know a word of Yiddish, he was active in the Jewish socialist organization, the Bund. That was how he became an alderman in the socialist city council of Łódź in the last years before the war. He was charged with matters related to public health, which took up an enormous amount of his time. The chapter also describes the author's brother and mother, and looks at the author's experiences during the German occupation of Łódź and at the School of Nursing.

Abstract:
Eight thirty A.M. Another school day, another school—this time the Schiller Gymnasium in the Thomas Mann Street. It’s a fine morning in late October. I greet Frau Losart, a German teacher, and Herr Gerrelov, a Russian teacher. They’re happy to talk to me about changes at the school since my visit during the dying days of the DDR in the fall of 1990, when it was still the Schiller EOS, the only EOS in Weimar. Weimar has witnessed many changes since then, especially in education, including the transformation of three POS into Gymnasien: the Goethe Gymnasium, the Hoffman von Fallersleben Gymnasium, and the Sophiengymnasium. The classical names reflect the importance of German culture in Weimar. Indeed, “Weimar— the Heart of German Culture,” runs the slogan in the official tourist brochure, which features, incongruously, both a picture of a young couple drinking Coca-Cola (the caption [in English]: “You can’t beat the feeling!”) and a pitch for a private bus tour line: “For more than a century,” says the ad, in stately German script, Weimar “has been a magnet for all those who revere German classicism. . . .” Or: those who mummify it. “Stadt der toten Dichter” (Dead Poets’ City), journalistic wags from the west have dubbed Weimar instead. But the eastern and western slogans do, ironically, somehow fit together. For certainly the city’s two biggest cultural drawing cards are its two greatest dead poets: Goethe and Schiller. Not the least of the city’s honors to the latter dead poet is the Schiller Gymnasium itself. Built in 1927, it was originally a Berufsschule (trade/vocational school) for girls; two years later, it became a coeducational Realschule. In 1936, the auditorium with its Nietzsche window was added, in honor of the city’s third great dead poet. In 1945, the school was used as an emergency hospital for soldiers wounded at the front. After the war, the Schiller Oberschule was the only school in Weimar to confer the Abitur; it became one of the first EOS in 1960 and a Gymnasium in 1991.

Abstract:
In the summer of 2019, the Bertelsmann-Foundation caused quite some commotion in the medical world in Germany. Their study on the density of the hospitals and clinics in Germany showed that the current amount of 1900 could be reduced to 600. Even if it was considered too extreme, it did stir a change. There is a plan to gradually reduce the number of hospitals down to 1200, making the hospitals and clinics better equipped to treat a broad variety of medical issues. This has as a direct consequence that those hospitals will not be equally accessible for the entire population. People living in rural areas might end up having more than 30 minutes journey to the nearest hospital, in best case scenario when the traffic is light. As the current primary rescue helicopters are not equipped for the near future missions, there is a need for an air vehicle that will cover the requirements posed by as well the changes in the medical system as the patients.On the other side, the cities are growing bigger, causing traffic density to increase as well. Time that an ambulance needs to reach the place of medical emergency varies per city, and steadily increases over the years, due to the ever-growing traffic. Current Medical Personnel Deployment (aerial) Vehicle are off the shelf smaller helicopters, often still too big for its intended purpose. In January 2020, a new project within German Aerospace Center has started, bearing the name Chaser, as a means of answering to above challenge. Its goal is developing two different aerial vehicles with a bespoke cabin design. As the cabin is an integral part of the vehicles, its design is considered equally important to other components and will be developed parallel to the vehicle development. In order to ensure that the cabin is well fitting the needs of its users, a user centered approach will be applied according to the Design Thinking Method. There are three distinctive sorts of users in this case: medical personnel, vehicle operators and the patients. The current and future needs and desires of all three groups shall be considered through means of co-design, a method that will provide an insight in what users actually need. Considering the complexity of the vehicle, a close cooperation with other design disciplines, such as flight performance, structures and aerodynamics is required. This paper will show the mission definition of the two vehicles, the method used to gather and analyze the required data, the trend analysis as well as forth flowing requirements. The results of the co-design workshop series, expert in-depth interviews and user journey maps will be shown, as well as an example of possible design outcome. To wrap up, an outlook into the future project work will be depicted, including the conceptual design solutions for the posed challenges.
