Autonomie und Familie: Behandlungsentscheidungen bei geschäfts- und einwilligungsunfähigen Volljährigen (MedR Schriftenreihe Medizinrecht)

Beiträge zur Patientenautonomie gibt es viele. Was bisher aber kaum Beachtung gefunden hat, ist das Verhältnis zwischen Patientenautonomie und der Familie als personellem Nahraum. Das vorliegende Buch schließt diese Lücke, indem es die Bedeutung von Familienangehörigen bei medizinischen Entscheidungssituationen geschäfts- und einwilligungsunfähiger Patienten untersucht. Der Autor bereitet die Thematik systematisch auf, indem er, ausgehend von einer Darstellung eines Autonomiekonzepts und den Grundlagen der medizinischen Behandlung, der Kernfrage nachgeht, wie die Familie in den Entscheidungsfindungsprozess einbezogen wird und warum. Aufbauend auf diesen Erkenntnissen untersucht der Autor, ob aus der Einbeziehung der Familie eine Gefährdung für die Autonomie des Einzelnen folgt. Abschließend wendet sich der Autor der Beteiligung von Familienmitgliedern in den Rechtsordnungen der USA und den sich aus einem Rechtsvergleich ergebenden Handlungsimpulsen für das deutsche Recht zu.​

Autonomie und Gerechtigkeit: Das Beispiel der Familientherapie für eine therapeutische Ethik

Autonomie und Kalkulation: Zur Praxis gesellschaftlicher Ökonomisierung im Gesundheits- und Krankenhauswesen (Arbeit und Organisation #1)

Der Strukturwandel im Gesundheitswesen wird häufig als Effizienz- und Qualitätsgewinn zugleich gepriesen. Ein soziologischer Blick indes zeigt: was sich hinter der »Ökonomisierung« der Krankenversorgung verbirgt, ist ein höchst kontroverses Unterfangen. Kaspar Molzberger nimmt in Anlehnung an relationale Sozialtheorien eine Neubestimmung vor. Seine praxissoziologische Studie verdeutlicht, womit die nach professionellen Werten arbeitenden Berufsgruppen in Krankenhäusern zu kämpfen haben, wenn sie den neoliberalen Managementreformen zu entsprechen suchen. Es droht eine »Verkehrung des Gewöhnlichen«: Die Autonomie der Arzt- und Pflegeberufe wird nunmehr als kalkulative behandelt und es ist folglich das Krankenhaus, das mit immer mehr Kranken versorgt werden muss, um zu überleben.

Autonomie und Organisation: Die sozialwissenschaftliche Mystifikation der Verselbständigung von Organisationen (Beiträge zur sozialwissenschaftlichen Forschung #58)

Autonomie und Steuerung verselbständigter Behörden: Eine empirische Analyse am Beispiel Deutschlands und Norwegens (Interdisziplinäre Organisations- und Verwaltungsforschung #19)

Es gibt seit einigen Jahren eine internationale politik- und verwaltungswissenschaftliche Diskussion zu strukturell verselbständigten Behörden außerhalb der Ministerialverwaltung („Agencies“). Ausgangspunkt ist die Beobachtung, dass bei der Ausgestaltung der Steuerungsbeziehungen zwischen Ministerien und Behörden erhebliche Unterschiede festzustellen sind, die sowohl zwischen Behörden eines Landes als auch im internationalen Vergleich bestehen. Tobias Bach untersucht am Beispiel Deutschlands und Norwegens, wie sich nationale Reformverläufe einerseits und organisatorische Merkmale wie Struktur und Aufgabe andererseits auf Steuerungsbeziehungen auswirken. Die empirische Analyse stützt sich auf standardisierte Erhebungen, die im Rahmen des internationalen Forschungsnetzwerkes COBRA („Comparative Public Organization Data Base for Research and Analysis“) durchgeführt wurden.

Autonomie und Vertrauen: Schlüsselbegriffe der modernen Medizin

Die Selbstbestimmung des Patienten wird in liberalen und individualisierten Gesellschaften zu Recht hochgehalten. Doch die Handlungsfreiheit des Einzelnen in einer hochkomplexen, von wissenschaftlich-technischen Rationalitäten durchstrukturierten Welt wächst nur in dem Maße, wie Personen- und Systemvertrauen ermöglicht wird. Denn mit den Handlungsmöglichkeiten der modernen Medizin wachsen auch Verletzlichkeit und Verunsicherung der Akteure. Die Beiträge dieses Bandes aus den Bereichen Philosophie, Medizinrecht, Theologie, Medizinethik und Medizin untersuchen, inwiefern interpersonelles Vertrauen bzw. Systemvertrauen und Selbstbestimmungspraktiken zusammenhängen. Ein besonderes Augenmerk gilt dabei Institutionen wie dem Krankenhaus sowie Kollektivakteuren wie Familien oder Patientengruppen.

Autonomie und Vulnerabilität in der Medizin: Menschenrechte - Ethik - Empowerment (Menschenrechte in der Medizin / Human Rights in Healthcare #6)

Welche ethische Relevanz haben die menschliche Vulnerabilität und die Menschenrechte für die Gesundheitsversorgung verschiedenster Personengruppen? Die Beiträge dieses interdisziplinären Bandes thematisieren die systematischen Zusammenhänge zwischen der Verletzlichkeit kranker Personen und ihren Menschenrechten und benennen auf dieser Grundlage Probleme in deren medizinischer Versorgung. Aus der Perspektive unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen werden zudem Möglichkeiten aufgezeigt, wie im Sinne eines menschenrechtlich legitimierten Empowerments die Situation entlang zentraler Werte wie Würde und Autonomie ganz konkret zu verbessern ist.

Autonomisierung des Öffentlichkeitsbegriffs in § 22 S. 1 Alt. 2 KUG: Eine rechtsdogmatische Untersuchung unter besonderer Berücksichtigung von § 15 Abs. 3 UrhG und Art. 3 Abs. 1 InfoSoc-RL (Juridicum – Schriften zum Medien-, Informations- und Datenrecht)

Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit dem bildnisrechtlichen Öffentlichkeitsbegriff des § 22 S. 1 Alt. 2 KUG, den der Gesetzgeber trotz des massiven technischen Wandels und der herausragenden Bedeutung von Bildnissen im digitalen Zeitalter seit über 100 Jahren nicht novelliert hat. Vielmehr greift die überwiegende Meinung in der Rechtsprechung und der Literatur im Rahmen des § 22 S. 1 Alt. 2 KUG seit jeher auf das Verständnis des urheberrechtlichen Öffentlichkeitsbegriffs gemäß § 15 Abs. 3 UrhG zurück, der infolge der umfassenden Rechtsprechung des EuGH zu Art. 3 Abs. 1 InfoSoc-RL erhebliche Modifikationen erfahren hat. Die Arbeit widmet sich insoweit der Frage, ob für den bildnisrechtlichen Öffentlichkeitsbegriff tatsächlich der urheberrechtliche Öffentlichkeitsbegriff, die Vorgaben des Art. 3 Abs. 1 InfoSoc-RL sowie die hierzu ergangene Rechtsprechung des EuGH herangezogen werden können. Dabei werden erhebliche Unterschiede zwischen dem bildnisrechtlichen und dem urheberrechtlichen Öffentlichkeitsbegriff konstatiert, die eine Autonomisierung des bildnisrechtlichen Öffentlichkeitsbegriffs gebieten. Die Autorin entwickelt daher einen von § 15 Abs. 3 UrhG und Art. 3 Abs. 1 InfoSoc-RL losgelösten Öffentlichkeitsbegriff, der den bildnisrechtlichen Spezifika Rechnung trägt.

Autonomist Narratives of Disability in Modern Scottish Writing: Crip Enchantments (Literary Disability Studies)

Autonomist Narratives of Disability in Modern Scottish Writing: Crip Enchantments explores the intersection between imaginaries of disability and representations of work, welfare and the nation in twentieth and twenty-first century Scottish literature. Disorienting effects erupt when non-normative bodies and minds clash with the structures of capitalist normalcy. This book brings into conversation Scottish studies, disability studies and Marxist autonomist theory to trace the ways in which these “crip enchantments” are imagined in modern Scottish writing, and the “autonomist” narratives of disability by which they are evoked.

Autonomous Agents

An agent is a system capable of perceiving the environment, reasoning with the percepts and then acting upon the world. Agents can be purely software systems, in which case their percepts and output `actions' are encoded binary strings. However, agents can also be realized in hardware, and then they are robots. The Artificial Intelligence community frequently views robots as embodied intelligent agents. The First International Conference on Autonomous Agents was held in Santa Monica, California, in February 1997. This conference brought together researchers from around the world with interests in agents, whether implemented purely in software or in hardware. The conference featured such topics as intelligent software agents, agents in virtual environments, agents in the entertainment industry, and robotic agents. Papers on robotic agents were selected for this volume. Autonomous Agents will be of interest to researchers and students in the area of artificial intelligence and robotics.

Autonomous and Autonomic Systems: With Applications To Nasa Intelligent Spacecraft Operations And Exploration Systems (NASA Monographs in Systems and Software Engineering)

In the early 1990s, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center started researching and developing autonomous and autonomic ground and spacecraft control systems for future NASA missions. This research started by experimenting with and developing expert systems to automate ground station software and reduce the number of people needed to control a spacecraft. This was followed by research into agent-based technology to develop autonomous ground c- trol and spacecraft. Research into this area has now evolved into using the concepts of autonomic systems to make future space missions self-managing and giving them a high degree of survivability in the harsh environments in which they operate. This book describes much of the results of this research. In addition, it aimstodiscusstheneededsoftwaretomakefutureNASAspacemissionsmore completelyautonomousandautonomic.Thecoreofthesoftwareforthesenew missions has been written for other applications or is being applied gradually in current missions, or is in current development. It is intended that this book should document how NASA missions are becoming more autonomous and autonomic and should point to the way of making future missions highly - tonomous and autonomic. What is not covered is the supporting hardware of these missions or the intricate software that implements orbit and at- tude determination, on-board resource allocation, or planning and scheduling (though we refer to these technologies and give references for the interested reader).

Autonomous and Integrated Parking and Transportation Services

In this book, the author outlines a Robust Web Parking, Truck and Transportation Portal (RWPTTP) for integrating parking and transportation services – a revolutionary approach in contrast to incremental change for managing traffic congestion. Autonomous vehicle technology, artificial intelligence, internet of things (IOT), and other interconnected hardware and software tools will assist autonomous parking and transportation services and provide next-century infrastructure for consolidated transportation customer services. The book highlights currently available autonomous parking and transportation technologies, and the development of an integrated and intelligent transportation service/system (IITS) platform, with specific use of technologies to reconfigure the transportation industry. The author also suggests many regulatory and policy changes to simplify data collection, traffic operation, introduction of a duplicate transportation system using light rail (LRs) and high speed rail (SPRs), and redistribution of parking spaces along such routes, using renewable energy.
