Im Zusammenhang mit der SARS-CoV-2-Pandemie wurden vor allem Maßnahmen ergriffen, um übertragungsrelevante Kontakte zu reduzieren oder sicherer zu machen. Die Wirksamkeit einzelner Maßnahmen auf Bevölkerungsebene ist schwer zu beurteilen, die von Maßnahmenbündeln kann als gesichert gelten. Die rechtlichen Grundlagen für die grundrechtseinschränkenden Maßnahmen erscheinen noch nicht gesichert.

Eine Reflexion JF - Magazin erwachsenenbildung.at N2 - Im Verlauf der Covid-19-Pandemie war in Gesellschaft, Politik und Wissenschaft immer wieder von einer "Krise der Demokratie" die Rede. Diese "Krise der Demokratie" ist auch eine "Krise der Repräsentation": Reale Politik wird hinter verschlossenen Türen gemacht - und das im Eiltempo -, die Mehrheit der Bürger*innen spielt eine passive Rolle. Politische Erwachsenenbildung hat die Aufgabe, diese Krise zu diskutieren. Allerdings befindet sie sich selbst schon seit Längerem in einer Krise: In ihrer Heterogenität fehlt ihr eine Standortbestimmung, die Übergänge zur non-formalen Bildung und schulischen politischen Bildung, aber auch zu anderen Professionen sind fließend. Darüber hinaus gibt es noch kein einheitliches Profil hinsichtlich Professionalität in der politischen Erwachsenenbildung, kein einheitliches Berufsbild, keine einheitliche Aus-, Fort- oder Weiterbildung und auch keine einheitliche Didaktik. Nicht zuletzt fehlt es an stetiger Finanzierung politischer Bildung und die Teilnahmequoten liegen deutlich hinter anderen Weiterbildungsbereichen zurück. An Ansatzpunkten zur Krisenbewältigung fehlt es also nicht. N2 - Time and time again during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been talk of the "crisis of democracy" in society, politics and science. What is meant is a crisis in representation, which is regarded as a basic democratic principle. Real politics is conducted behind closed doors - and as quickly as possible - with the majority of citizens playing a passive role. Adult political education is responsible for discussing this crisis. However, it too has been in a crisis for a long time. In its heterogeneity, it is missing a fixed standpoint: The transitions to other areas of adult education, non-formal education and political education in schools as well as to other professions are fluid. In addition, there is no unified profile of professionalism in adult political education, no unified job description, no unified education, training or continuing education and also no unified didactics. Finally, there is a lack of steady funding for political education and the number of participants clearly lags behind than in other areas of continuing education. Thus there are plenty of points of departure for crisis management. T2 - Adult political education during the crisis.

The single-topic survey allowed us to test several competing explanations for VWC, as discussed in the literature. The VWC in the sample was 67.3%. Logistic regression was used to identify factors affecting VWC. Being at high risk from COVID-19 and having received flu vaccination have a positive impact on VWC. Perceived VWC of friends has a strong positive effect on respondents’ VWC. Bivariate relationships of gender, age, and level of education with VWC were no longer significant in a multivariate analysis. Trust in alternative medicine and belief in conspiracy theories have a negative effect on VWC.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, pediatricians faced a variety of challenges regarding information uptake and transfer to patients, practice organization and consultations for families. This qualitative study aimed at shedding light on German pediatricians’ experiences of providing outpatient care during the first year of the pandemic. Methods: We conducted 19 semi-structured, in-depth interviews with pediatricians in Germany from July 2020 to February 2021. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed, pseudonymized, coded, and subjected to content analysis. Results: Pediatricians felt able to keep up to date regarding COVID-19 regulations. However, staying informed was time consuming and onerous. Informing the patients was perceived as strenuous, especially when political decisions had not been officially communicated to pediatricians or if the recommendations were not supported by the professional judgment of the interviewees. Some felt that they were not taken seriously or adequately involved in political decisions. Parents were reported to consider pediatric practices as sources of information also for non-medical inquiries. Answering these questions was time consuming for the practice personnel and involved non-billable hours. Practices had to adapt their set-up and organization immediately to the new circumstances of the pandemic, which proved costly and laborious as well. Some changes in the organization of routine care, such as the separation of appointments for patients with acute infection from preventive appointments, were perceived as positive and effective by some study participants. Telephone and online consultations were established at the beginning of the pandemic and considered helpful for some situations, whereas for others these methods were deemed insufficient (e.g. for examinations of sick children). All pediatricians reported reduced utilization mainly due to a decline in acute infections. However, preventive medical check-ups and immunization appointments were reported to be mostly attended. Conclusion: Positive experiences of reorganizing pediatric practice should be disseminated as “best practices” in order to improve future pediatric health services. Further research could show how some of these positive experiences in reorganizing care during the pandemic are to be maintained by pediatricians in the future.

However, the awareness of population aging and gerontechnology is far from sufficiently addressed in the architectural design education in universities. Therefore, an interdisciplinary approach in design education is urgently needed to raise the awareness of the aging crisis among the future architects, interior designers, and beyond. This article introduces a novel model of a design seminar offered by a German University, addressing population aging issues in the architecture department. The syllabus, formality, and the expected results of the seminar are revealed in detail. The participants are encouraged to apply interdisciplinary knowledge such as barrier-free architecture, mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, robotics, medicine, psychology, and business to achieve the goals of the seminar. Based on the originality and degree of completion, several students' works are selected and reported, targeting a variety of diseases or syndromes related to aging, such as dementia, immobility, and tremors. Overall, participants of this seminar are motivated and have positive feedback on this seminar, oftentimes claiming that they have seldom studied similar topics in previous architecture education. This enables students from architecture as well as other fields to be better prepared to tackle the upcoming challenges such as labor shortages and infectious diseases in a rapidly aging world. Furthermore, the seminar creates novel concepts that serve as a win-win "honeypot" for both students and their instructors, potentially sparking research topics and start-ups with concepts fostered in this seminar.

T1 - COVID-19 and the ageing workforce: global perspectives on needs and solutions across 15 countries JF - International Journal for Equity in Health volume N2 - BACKGROUND: COVID-19 has a direct impact on the employment of older people. This adds to the challenge of ageism. The World Health Organization has started a worldwide campaign to combat ageism and has called for more research and evidence-based strategies that have the potential to be scaled up. This study specifically aims to identify solutions to combat the adverse effects of COVID-19 on the global ageing workforce. METHODS: We present 15 case studies from different countries and report on what those countries are doing or not doing to address the impact of COVID-19 on ageing workers. RESULTS: We provide examples of how COVID-19 influences older people's ability to work and stay healthy, and offer case studies of what governments, organizations or individuals can do to help ensure older people can obtain, maintain and, potentially, expand their current work. Case studies come from Australia, Austria, Canada, China, Germany, Israel, Japan, Nigeria, Romania, Singapore, Sweden, South Korea, Thailand, United Kingdom (UK), and the United States (US). Across the countries, the impact of COVID-19 on older workers is shown as widening inequalities. A particular challenge has arisen because of a large proportion of older people, often with limited education and working in the informal sector within rural areas, e.g. in Nigeria, Thailand and China. Remedies to the particular disadvantage experienced by older workers in the context of COVID are presented. These range from funding support to encouraging business continuity, innovative product and service developments, community action, new business models and localized, national and international actions. The case studies can be seen as frequently fitting within strategies that have been proven to work in reducing ageism within the workplace. They include policy and laws that have increased benefits to workers during lockdowns (most countries); educational activities such as coaching seniorpreneurship (e,g, Australia); intergenerational contact interventions such as younger Thai people who moved back to rural areas and sharing their digital knowledge with older people and where older people reciprocate by teaching the younger people farming knowledge. CONCLUSION: Global sharing of this knowledge among international, national and local governments and organizations, businesses, policy makers and health and human resources experts will further understanding of the issues that are faced by older workers. This will facilitate the replication or scalability of solutions as called for in the WHO call to combat ageism in 2021. We suggest that policy makers, business owners, researchers and international organisations build on the case studies by investing in evidence-based strategies to create inclusive workplaces. Such action will thus help to challenge ageism, reduce inequity, improve business continuity and add to the quality of life of older workers.

Die Impfbereitschaft schwankt je nach Stichprobe, Messung und Erhebungszeitraum. Ziel der Arbeit (Fragestellung) Ziel der Studie ist die Untersuchung der Impfbereitschaft mit einem COVID-19-Vakzin an einer Zufallsstichprobe der Gesamtbevölkerung. Der Schwerpunkt der Studie liegt in der Beschreibung des Zusammenhangs zwischen Impfbereitschaft, wahrgenommenen Risiken einer Erkrankung, den subjektiven Überzeugungen zu Nebenwirkungen und dem Vertrauen in Institutionen sowie dem Einfluss sozialer Bezugsgruppen. Material und Methoden Die Studie basiert auf einer telefonischen Ein-Themen-Bevölkerungsbefragung zur Impfbereitschaft (n=2.014) vor der Zulassung eines COVID-19-Vakzins in Deutschland im November/Dezember 2020. Ergebnisse Die Impfbereitschaft liegt bei etwa 67 % und steigt mit dem Anteil der impfbereiten Freunde und Bekannten und dem Vertrauen gegenüber dem Robert-Koch-Institut, bei Zugehörigkeit zu einer Risikogruppe und der Erwartung gefährlicher Konsequenzen bei einer Erkrankung oder Unklarheit darüber. Erfahrungen mit einer Infektion bei den Befragten oder in ihrer sozialen Bezugsgruppe erhöhen die Impfbereitschaft. Eine Überschätzung der Wahrscheinlichkeit ernsthafter Nebenwirkungen bei Grippeimpfungen senkt die Impfbereitschaft gegen COVID-19. Auffällig ist der Befund einer erheblichen Überschätzung der Häufigkeit von ernsthaften Impfnebenwirkungen. Diskussion Die Überschätzung der Häufigkeit ernsthafter Nebenwirkungen bei Impfungen weist erstens auf ein Informationsdefizit, zweitens auf weit verbreitete Fehlinformationen und drittens auf kognitive Probleme bei der Interpretation relativer Häufigkeiten hin.

To achieve this goal, a safe, efficient, and cost-effective SARS-CoV-2 testing system for schools in addition to standard hygiene measures is necessary. Methods: We implemented the screening WICOVIR concept for schools in the southeast of Germany, which is based on gargling at home, pooling of samples in schools, and assessment of SARS-CoV-2 by pool rRT-PCR, performed decentralized in numerous participating laboratories. Depooling was performed if pools were positive, and results were transmitted with software specifically developed for the project within a day. Here, we report the results after the first 13 weeks in the project. Findings: We developed and implemented the proof-of-concept test system within a pilot phase of 7 weeks based on almost 17,000 participants. After 6 weeks in the main phase of the project, we performed >100,000 tests in total, analyzed in 7,896 pools, identifying 19 cases in >100 participating schools. On average, positive children showed an individual CT value of 31 when identified in the pools. Up to 30 samples were pooled (mean 13) in general, based on school classes and attached school staff. All three participating laboratories detected positive samples reliably with their previously established rRT-PCR standard protocols. When self-administered antigen tests were performed concomitantly in positive cases, only one of these eight tests was positive, and when antigen tests performed after positive pool rRT-PCR results were already known were included, 3 out of 11 truly positive tests were also identified by antigen testing. After 3 weeks of repetitive WICOVIR testing twice weekly, the detection rate of positive children in that cohort decreased significantly from 0.042 to 0.012 (p = 0.008). Interpretation: Repeated gargle pool rRT-PCR testing can be implemented quickly in schools. It is an effective, valid, and well-received test system for schools, superior to antigen tests in sensitivity, acceptance, and costs.
