TY - THES A1 - Buckley, Andrea T1 - Medical social work in Ireland and Germany : a comparison of a personal social service in two different welfare states N2 - Diese Masterarbeit wurde als Abschlußarbeit für den Studiengang Master of European Social Policy Analysis an der National University of Ireland Maynooth eingereicht . Der Titel lautet : Soziale Arbeit im Krankenhaus in Irland und Deutschland: ein Vergleich einer personenbezogenen sozialen Dienstleistung in zwei verschiedenen Wohlfahrtsstaaten. Sie beschreibt und analysiert den Kontext bzw. die Rahmenbedingungen, in dem Soziale Arbeit im Krankenhaus (Sozialdienst im Krankenhaus) stattfindet. Hier wird der Bezug zwischen gesellschaftlichem Kontext als Ganzem, dem Gesundheitssystem im allgemeinen (Makroebene) und den Rahmenbedingungen im Krankenhaus (Mesoebene) besonderes Augenmerk gewidmet. Die Idee dieser Arbeit ist, einen kurzen historischen Überblick über die Entwicklung der Krankenhaussozialarbeit (Mikroebene) in beiden Ländern zu geben, sowie Hintergrundinformationen darüber, was Soziale Arbeit / Sozialdienst im Krankenhaus beinhaltet. Der untersuchte Zeitraum reicht von 1980 bis heute. Die Hauptuntersuchungsfragen lauten: Welche Interdependenzen gibt es zwischen Makro-, Meso- und Mikroebene? Haben Veränderungen im Gesundheitssystem bzw. der Gesundheitspolitik im Allgemeinen und hinsichtlich der Krankenhäuser im Besonderen die Arbeit im Krankenhaussozialdienst beeinflusst und wenn ja, wie? Welche Gemeinsamkeiten und Unterschiede gibt es in diesem Kontext in den beiden untersuchten Ländern? N2 - This dissertation, written for the course Master of European Social Policy Analysis – National University of Ireland Maynooth - , shows the context or so-called framework within which the medical social work service in two different welfare states: Ireland and Germany operates. This means the societal context as a whole, the health system in general (macro-level) and the hospital setting (mezzo-level) in particular. The idea of this publication is to give a short overview of the historic development of medical social work (micro-level) in Ireland and Germany and some background information about what medical social work is. The time frame examined starts from the 1980s up to present. The main questions to be answered are: What are the interdependencies between the macro-, mezzo- and micro-level? Have changes in the health system in general and the hospitals in particular influenced medical social work and if so how? What are the similarities and differences in the two countries?

The Sound Spatialization Framework provides many powerful display and user-interface features not found in other sound spatialization software packages. It provides facilities that go beyond simple sound source spatialization: visualization and editing of the soundscape, multiple sinks, clustering of sound sources, monitoring and controlling resource management, support for various spatialization backends, and classes for MIDI animation and handling.

Besides being the subject matter of many courses, however, the computer also plays a vital role in the educational process itself, both in the distribution of instructional media, and in providing students with valuable practical experience. All students have unlimited access (24-hours-a-day) to individual networked workstations, most of which are multimedia-capable (even video capture is possible in two exercise rooms). Without software and content tailored for computer-aided instruction, the hardware becomes an expensive decoration. In any case, there is a need to better educate the instructors and students in the use of the equipment. In the interest of facilitating effective, collaborative use of network-based computers in teaching, this article explores the impact that a network environment can have on such activities. First, as a general overview, and to examine the motivation for the use of a network environment in teaching, this article reviews a range of different styles of collaboration. Then the article shows what kind of tools are available for use, within the context of what has come to be called Computer-Supported Cooperative Work (CSCW).

As such, we find ourselves at the confluence of many of the streams currently running through the English Language Teaching profession, including English for Science and Technology (EST), English for Academic Purposes (EAP), English for Specific Purposes (ESP), Computer-assisted language learning (CALL), content-based instruction, and multimedia applications in foreign language pedagogy. This paper describes our initial attempts to construct a number of World Wide Web pages where students will be able to study EST, EAP, and computer science topics on their own in a multimedia environment.
