Abstract:
The volume, produced within the framework of the COMMIT project “Fostering the Integration of Resettled Refugees in Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Spain”, concerns the current European situation, and in particular the teaching of L2 in its relations and interdisciplinary exchanges with other scientific fields dealing with migratory phenomena; therefore, starting from the COMMIT experience, it offers a wide perspective, going beyond the borders of the countries involved in the project and identifying good practices that can be replicated in different territorial and social contexts to ensure successful social inclusion of newly arrived citizens. COMMIT is a project funded by the European Commission (DG HOME), co-financed by the Ministry of Interior and the Project Partners and managed by the Mediterranean Coordination Office of the International Organization for Migration (IOM), in Italy. The project was implemented in collaboration with the IOM Missions in Croatia, Portugal and Spain, together with the Communitas Consortium, the Adecco Foundation for Equal Opportunities and the University for Foreigners of Siena (UNISTRASI). The project activities were implemented from 1 January 2019 to 30 April 2021. The project, based on the idea that successful integration of resettled refugees occurs both by putting in place certain structural conditions and by promoting mutual exchange between resettled refugees and their host communities, aimed to support their integration into their new communities, with a special focus on women and young refugees as particularly vulnerable groups. A secure humanitarian migration route to the European Union launched in 2013 is targeted at refugees who are beneficiaries of resettlement. Several Member States, including Croatia, Italy, Portugal and Spain, have therefore established or strengthened their national resettlement and humanitarian admission programmes for resettled refugees of Syrian, Eritrean, Ethiopian or Sudanese origin. In preparation for resettlement, beneficiaries participate in a series of pre-departure cultural orientation activities. Among them, training in L2 language and culture plays a crucial role. The book hence tries to offer answers to the many challenges that characterise the field of language education in contexts marked by the presence of migrants from an interdisciplinary perspective. It provides for effective solutions for an inclusive language education, attentive to ‘vulnerable’ subjects, paying attention to the interweaving of complex individual, social, cultural and economic contexts, such as school and university training courses and reception and resettlement programmes in host societies. In particular, the current situation in Italy, regarding both teaching L2 in a school context and teaching modern languages to adult foreigners, is still lacking in interdisciplinary relations and exchanges between language teaching and other scientific fields dealing with migratory phenomena. However, in recent years a particular sensitivity and empathy towards linguistic and cultural contact have developed.

Abstract:
Inpatient treatment of children and adolescents forms an important part of modern psychiatric care. The place of residential treatment has changed: First, effective evidence-based community treatments are now more readily available; at the same time, the increasing recognition of youth mental illness has led to greater demands for admission. Admission of more suicidal adolescents with higher complexity and greater levels of violence and self-harm has resulted in a complex inpatient environment. Second, there is a drive for shorter admissions, partly driven by costs and resource limitations. The running of residential services is a complex activity, and understanding the group dynamics and careful integration of multiple therapeutic modalities by a multidisciplinary team is important to any successful outcome. There are specialized services, including eating disorder, forensic/secure, learning disability, and autism units. The outcome of inpatient care is favorable, although costly, and crucially requires managed integration with outreach and community psychiatric services.

Abstract:
Chapter 9 explores discretionary admissions, cases in which the decision to admit prospective migrants is not morally required because their basic interests are not threatened. In such cases, what kinds of reasons should inform public deliberation about whom to exclude and include? The chapter begins by considering temporary admissions programs, asking whether they are permissible or whether all migrants must be admitted on a permanent basis. It then assesses different criteria for excluding and selecting migrants for admission. The criteria of exclusion discussed include ones based on race and ethnicity, national security concerns, public health issues, and economic impacts. The criteria of admission considered include family ties, cultural affinity, protection of vulnerable cultural groups, and economic skills.

Abstract:
It has long been assumed that college admission should be a simple matter of sorting students according to merit, with the best heading off to the Ivy League and highly ranked liberal arts colleges and the rest falling naturally into their rightful places. Admission to selective institutions, where extremely fine distinctions are made, is characterized by heated public debates about whether standardized exams, high school transcripts, essays, recommendation letters, or interviews best indicate which prospective students are worthy. And then there is college for everyone else. But what goes into less-selective college admissions? Ravenwood College was a small, private, nonprofit institution dedicated to social justice and serving traditionally underprepared students from underrepresented minority groups. To survive in the higher education marketplace, the college had to operate like a business and negotiate complex categories of merit while painting a hopeful picture of the future for its applicants. This book is a snapshot of a particular type of institution as it goes about the business of producing itself and justifying its place in the market. This book documents what it takes to keep such an institution open and running, and the struggles, tensions, and battles that members of the community tangle with daily as they carefully walk the line between empowering marginalized students and exploiting them.

Full text
Abstract:
The vasculitic syndromes are a heterogeneous group of rare disorders characterized by degrees of inflammation and necrosis of blood vessels with a wide variety of clinical manifestations. Intensive care treatment is most commonly required for vasculitis involving small blood vessels, including capillaries. Involvement of these vessels in the lung causes alveolar haemorrhage, which may lead to respiratory failure. In the kidneys it may cause glomerulonephritis leading to renal failure. Severe cardiac, neurological, and gastrointestinal manifestions can also be seen. Non-vasculitic manifestations may also be present, such as pulmonary nodules secondary to granulomatous inflammation in granulomatosis with polyangiitis. Diagnosis is based primarily on history and physical exam in conjunction with radiographic and serological testing. Intensive care unit admission is typically secondary to end organ damage due to inflammation, or because of side effects from the cytotoxic therapies, particularly infection. Treatment of vasculitis includes supportive management in conjunction with immunosuppression. Standard treatment of severe disease consists of corticosteroids and cytotoxic drugs.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Claude Barnett, along with many other Negro leaders, had exerted his influence to make sure that President Truman was reelected though they had undercut the anti-Jim Crow movement by scorning the most resolute, including the defeated Henry Wallace and Paul Robeson. They also undercut their previous esteemed position with rising powers, for example, recently independent India, by seeming to oppose those that Delhi appreciated—for example, Robeson. Personally, Barnett's wide array of investments continued to generate profit, but the process of “integration” combined with positions diverging from those of the planet's majority, which was the price of admission, served also to undermine the centerpiece of his business universe: the ANP. Thus, instead of highlighting Robeson's anticolonial and antilynching crusades, the ANP shifted subtly to trivia designed to demean this leader, providing reports about a new black group that denounced the performer, not least for the alleged sartorial confusion he helped to create.

Full text
Abstract:
Traditionally the domain of consultation/ liaison psychiatry, the challenge of recognizing and then appropriately treating the psychiatric complications of general medical disorders requires thoughtful planning and attention in corrections. Medical conditions that have psychiatric symptoms represent a significant diagnostic dilemma, particularly in the correctional health setting. Over half of the inmates in the United States have symptoms of a major mental illness, but the pervasiveness of substance use disorders, the increasing prevalence of elderly inmates, and limited access to a patient’s past medical and psychiatric records all contribute to the challenge of discerning when a psychiatric presentation results from an underlying medical condition. One early study underscored this challenge, noting that 46% of the patients admitted to community psychiatric wards had an unrecognized medical illness that either caused or exacerbated their psychiatric illness. A more recent study observed that 2.8% of admissions to inpatient psychiatry were due to unrecognized medical conditions. Emergency room medical clearance of patients presenting for psychiatric admission has revealed an increased risk for such underlying medical conditions among patients with any of five characteristics: elderly, a history of substance abuse, no prior history of mental illness, lower socioeconomic status, or significant preexisting medical illnesses. This chapter examines several of these risk groups and focuses on the presenting symptoms of delirium, mood disorders, and psychosis and the underlying medical conditions that can mimic or exacerbate them.

Full text
Abstract:
Initiation procedures were determined by the need to maintain secrecy, and this led to repeated testing of new members, gradual admission, and gradual teaching of secrets. Annual reassessment was often performed within certain groups. The dynamic engendered by the secret knowledge begets the hierarchical structure. Both features are prominent in the Qumran community. In some cases, secrets and knowledge were kept by only a select handful of people or just one person. Details of hierarchies and different levels of ascension and knowledge are discussed. Similarities and differences in practices among the different groups are examined. We also look at the ancient texts and what they reveal about these groups.

Rectal bleeding is a common symptom, affecting all age groups, with the highest incidence in the sixth and seventh decades and associated with a higher mortality and morbidity with increasing age. Epidemiological studies have shown rectal bleeding to occur in nearly 1% of hospital admissions. Bleeding stops spontaneously in 80% of cases, although rebleeding occurs in 25%. Common causes are haemorrhoids, diverticular disease, and colorectal cancer or polyps.

The Essenes and the Qumran covenanters as a secret society are introduced. The keeping of secrets in the Greco–Roman world and the consequent importance of archaeology in discovering these secrets are briefly discussed. Typical features of secret societies are given: gradual initiation and limitation of membership, hierarchical organization with different levels, and stages of admission to the special knowledge. The main categories are “secret–open,” not “sectarian–normative,” as in previous studies. Analogous secret cults in the Greco–Roman world are also listed.

This chapter explores the composition of the Estates and how admission to their ranks was regulated. It also considers relations among the four Estates. Membership in the Estates of prelates and townsmen was largely static over time, while that in the lords and knights was changing. As a body, the Estates were not monolithic. Lines of fissure ran between nobility and clergy, within and between the various formal and informal groups of nobles, and between the townsmen and the others. There were also confessional and geographical factors that produced vertical divisions. These distinctions governed the dynamic not only within the halls of the Landhaus but also between the Estates and government.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses the law on creditor claims in Germany. German insolvency law distinguishes between several types of creditors in insolvency proceedings and treats them differently with regard to priority of claims, enforcement, modes of realization, and costs. The doctrinal approach of the German Insolvency Code is not so much a categorization of claims, but rather it takes a view on the creditors. German insolvency law draws a rough distinction between four creditor groups: secured creditors; general insolvency creditors; subordinated creditors; and administration creditors. The remainder of the chapter deals with insolvency claims, administration claims, and non-enforceable claims in turn. Each section covers: the definition and scope of the claim; rules for submission, verification, and satisfaction or admission of claims; ranking of claims; and voting and other participation rights in insolvency proceedings.

Full text
Abstract:
Pulmonary fungal infections remain relatively uncommon, although they are increasingly diagnosed as a consequence of a growing population of immunocompromised individuals, foreign travel, and improved diagnostic tools. Groups who were not previously thought to be at significant risk of invasive disease are also being recognized. The increasing incidence of fungal lung disease as a consequence of changing patient demographics means that clinicians will encounter cases in outpatient clinics, medical admission departments, and the intensive care unit with increasing frequency. As international travel increases, so too will presentations of endemic mycoses to respiratory physicians practising in the United Kingdom. Many fungi, such as Aspergillus species, are ubiquitous and can cause a spectrum of pulmonary disorders from colonization, leading to hypersensitivity reactions, to invasive disease with high mortality rates. This chapter considers commonly encountered fungi and how diseases associated with them may present.

Abstract:
This chapter offers an overview of the experiences of the four major cultural groups within the borders of modern Alaska: Eskimos (Yup’ik, Inupiat), Aleuts, Athabaskans, and the Haida and Tlingit Indians. After describing the nature of precontact Alaskan cultures, the chapter describes the era of Russian rule (dominated by the trade in sea otters, the violent subjugation of the Aleuts, and the advent of Russian Orthodox missionaries), the American purchase and its aftermath, the Second World War, and the tumultuous events accompanying the admission of Alaska to statehood in 1958. Throughout their encounter with outsiders, the indigenous peoples of Alaska have struggled with the introduction of new diseases, assaults on their subsistence traditions, and struggles over land ownership. The Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act (1971) has ushered in a new period of improvement even though the state’s Native people continue to struggle with the ongoing effects of colonialism.

Full text
Abstract:
Infective endocarditis is the fourth leading cause of life-threatening infections, accounting for 40,000 annual U.S. hospital admissions. Due to decline in rheumatic heart disease, a shift in causative organisms from viridans streptococci to S. aureus, Group D Streptococcus, and multidrug-resistant species has been observed. The spectrum of neurological complications ranges widely from cerebrovascular pathologies-including septic embolization, mycotic aneurysms, and intracerebral hemorrhages-to seizures, meningitis, cerebritis, and abscess. Transthoracic echocardiogram remains the standard for initial investigation whereas CT scans, MRI with DWI sequence, and cerebral angiograms are useful for exploring neurological complications. Antibiotic regimens, tailored to culprit organisms, should be initiated early after obtaining blood cultures and continued for 4 to 6 weeks. Antithrombotic treatment may pose increased risk for intracerebral hemorrhage, even in the absence of mycotic aneurysms (MA). Unruptured MA must be treated according to risk of rupture and overall health of the patient. MAs either at risk or previously ruptured should be secured by neurosurgical or endovascular means. Early cardiac surgery is a viable option for prevention of septic embolization for high-risk cardiac diseases such as perivalvular abscess and infection with resistant organisms, but may increase mortality rates for those with decompensated heart failure.
