Background: Chronic kidney disease palliative care guidelines would benefit from more diverse and objectively defined health status measures. Aim: The aim is to identify high-risk patients from administrative data and facilitate timely and uniform palliative care involvement. Design: It is a retrospective cohort study. Setting/participants: In total, 45,368 Veterans, with chronic kidney disease Stage 3, 4, or 5, were monitored for up to 6 years and categorized into three groups, based on whether they died, started dialysis, or avoided both outcomes. Results: Patient’s appointment utilization was a significant predictor for both outcomes. It separated individuals into low, medium, and high appointment utilizers. Among the low appointment utilizers, the risk of death did not change significantly, while the risk of dialysis increased. Medium appointment utilizers had a stable risk of death and a decreasing risk of dialysis. Significant appointment utilization (above 31 visits during the baseline year) helped high-risk patients avoid both outcomes of interest—death and dialysis. Conclusion: Our model could justify the creation of a novel palliative care introduction trigger, as patients with medium demand for care may benefit from additional palliative care evaluation. The trigger could facilitate the uniformization of conservative treatment preparations. It could prompt messages to a managing physician when a patient crosses the threshold between low and medium appointment utilization. It may also aid in system-level policy development. Furthermore, our results highlight the benefit of significant appointment utilization among high-risk patients.

79 Background: Supportive Care Outpatient Clinics (SCOC) offer comprehensive care and symptom management to patients with advanced cancer (AdCa). Missed appointments (MA) are important source of problems to patient care and clinic operations. But there are no studies on the clinical outcomes of patients who fail to show for consultation. Methods: We determined the frequency of MA, including clinical and demographic data, and reviewed clinic appointment records for 218 consecutive kept (KA) and 218 MA for distinct patients referred to SCOC from January to December 2011. Results: 218/1,352(16%) AdCa who were referred to our SCOC, missed their appointment. Median age was 57 years (interquartile range 49-67). The mean(range) time between referral and appointment was 7.4 days(0-71) for KA vs. 9.1 days(0-89) for MA (p=0.0062). Age, gender, marital status, and cancer types or stages, and reasons for referral to SCOC were not significantly different between MA and KA patients. The reasons for MA were: admission to the hospital 17/218(8%), death 4/218(2%), appointment with primary oncologist 37/218(18%), other appointments 19/218(9%), visits to emergency room(ER) 9/218(9%), and unknown 111/218(54%). MA patients visited more the ER at 2 weeks 16/214(7%) vs. 5/217(2%), p=0.01, and 4 weeks 17/205(8%) vs. 8/217(4%), p=0.06. Median survival for MA patients was 177 days (range:127-215) vs. 253 days (range:192-347) for KA patients (p=0.013). Multivariate analysis showed that MA were associated to the time between referral and scheduled appointment (OR: 1.026/day, p=0.03), referral from targeted therapy services (OR:2.177, p=0.004), living at Texas/Louisiana regions (OR;2.345, p=0.002), having advanced directives (OR:0.154, P<0.0001), and being referred for symptom control(OR:0.024, p=0.0003). Conclusions: AdCa with MA have worse survival and increased ER utilization. We identified AdCa at higher risk for MA who should undergo more aggressive follow up. More research on MA prevention is needed.

Full textAbstract:
William Somerset Maugham's short story “The Appointment in Samarra” (1933) narrates a theme of how someone cannot avoid death, but the death is represented through a female figure. The research aims to expose a critic toward the representation of death through female character which is a cultivation of patriarchal ideas through literary works. This research used deconstruction framework as a reference to expose the paradox between woman and death. This was a qualitative research with an intertextuality approach. The data were in the form of quotations in the text and the source of the data was William Somerset Maugham’s short story “The Appointment in Samarra”. The data were collected through documentation technique and analysed with interpretation method. The results showed that the representation of death through woman was a patriarchal discourse and, with deconstructive reading, the narrative presented a paradoxical side; on one side, it presented that woman had horrible character, but on the other side, the horrible character implied power. Dismantling of the patriarchal discourse made the decon-structive process in this text became study of feminist deconstruction.

Since the death of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), the question of Islamic Governance has become a hot debate among Islamic scholars, among others the appointment of leaders. Hence, the Islamic history has proven that there are various concepts of leadership appointments that make it possible to pinpoint the best one, especially for today’s state of affairs. The objective of this study was to explain the position of the theories of Islamic scholars on the appointment of leaders from the perspective of Fiqh Siyasah. This study was qualitative because it involved library researches on political books and Islamic history. The findings showed that there were seven forms of leadership appointments in the context of Fiqh Siyasah, based on three theories of Islamic thought. The first was Islamic thought in the 7th to 13th AD, second was Islamic thought in the 14th and 18th centuries of Islam and the third was Islamic thought of the 19th century until present day. In conclusion, these theories showed that the appointment of leaders was a matter of ijtihad. As compared to the today’s concept of the appointment of leaders, it is not contrary to Islamic values according to Fiqh Siyasah.Keywords: al-Hall wa al-‘Aqd, Fiqh Siyasah, Mushawarah, Islamic Political Thought and Leader Appointment
Sejak kewafatan Rasulullah s.a.w. persoalan ketatanegaraan Islam menjadi perdebatan hangat dalam kalangan para sarjana Islam antaranya perlantikan pemimpin. Justeru, sejarah Islam telah membuktikan bahawa terdapat pelbagai konsep perlantikan pemimpin sehingga tidak dinyatakan konsep terbaik untuk diamalkan pada masa kini. Objektif kajian ini menjelaskan kedudukan teori-teori para sarjana Islam berhubung perlantikan pemimpin dari perspektif fiqh siyāsah. Kajian ini bersifat kajian kualitatif kerana melibatkan penelitian perpustakaan terhadap buku-buku politik dan sejarah Islam. Dapatan kajian ini menjelaskan terdapat tujuh bentuk pelantikan pemimpin dalam konteks fiqh siyasah berasaskan tiga teori pemikiran Islam iaitu pertama pemikiran Islam pada abad 7 hingga 13 Masihi, kedua pemikiran Islam pada abad 14 hingga 18 Masihi dan ketiga pemikiran Islam pada abad 19 hingga sekarang. Kesimpulannya, teori-teori ini menunjukkan perlantikan pemimpin merupakan perkara ijtihad. Jika dibandingkan konsep pelantikan pemimpin pada masa sekarang ini, ianya tidak berlawanan dengan nilai-nilai keislaman menurut fiqh siyasah.

Des English was a person of great charm, innovation, and inner strength. His early death at the age of 44 in 1977 came as a bitter blow not only for his family but for the many teachers and parents he had influenced and guided in respectively providing and in seeking educational opportunities for children with disabilities. Des grew up in a small town in Victoria called Donnybrook, north of Melbourne. He was educated by the Marist Brothers at Kilmore College, and in the 50’s trained as a primary teacher at Geelong Teachers College, from which he gained an extension of one year to study as a Special Teacher at Melbourne Teachers College. His first appointment was as an Opportunity Grade teacher at North Melbourne State School. His talent for leadership surfaced early and in his second appointment he became Principal of Footscray Special School for children and adolescents with intellectual disability. Throughout the rest of his career he gained one promotion after another to the Principal positions at Ormond, Travencore and St. Alban’s Special schools. I was fortunate to work as a deputy principal with him throughout his last two appointments.

Full textAbstract:
Object The aim of this study was to examine the variables influencing the mode and location of death in patients admitted to a neurosurgical intensive care unit (NICU), including the participation of a newly appointed neurointensivist (NI). Methods Data from all patients admitted to a university hospital NICU were prospectively collected and compared between 2 consecutive 19-month periods before and after the appointment of an NI. Results One thousand eighty-seven patients were admitted before and 1279 after the NI's appointment. The withdrawal of life support (WOLS) occurred in 52% of all cases of death. Death following WOLS compared with survival was independently associated with an older patient age (OR 1.04/year, 95% CI 1.03–1.05), a higher University Hospitals Consortium (UHC) expected mortality rate (OR 1.05/%, 95% CI 1.04–1.07), transfer from another hospital (OR 3.7, 95% CI 1.6–8.4) or admission through the emergency department (OR 5.3, 95% CI 2.4–12), admission to the neurosurgery service (OR 7.5, 95% CI 3.2–17.6), and diagnosis of an ischemic stroke (OR 5.4, 95% CI 1.4–20.8) or intracerebral hemorrhage (OR 5.7, 95% CI 1.9–16.7). On discharge from the NICU, 54 patients died on the hospital ward (2.7% mortality rate). A younger patient age (OR 0.94/year, 95% CI 0.92–0.96), higher UHC-expected mortality rate (OR 1.01/%, 95% CI 1–1.03), and admission to the neurosurgery service (OR 9.35, 95% CI 1.83–47.7) were associated with death in the NICU rather than the ward. There was no association between the participation of an NI and WOLS or ward mortality rate. Conclusions The mode and location of death in NICU-admitted patients did not change after the appointment of an NI. Factors other than the participation of an NI—including patient age and the severity and type of neurological injury—play a significant role in the decision to withdraw life support in the NICU or dying in-hospital after discharge from the NICU.

Agatha Christie set a number of her popular novels in British colonies in the Middle East, Africa and the Caribbean. While there is a lot of research about the portrayal of the colonised in the Middle East, there is only little to be found on those of Africa and the Caribbean. Therefore, this thesis aims to compare the portrayals of the Middle Eastern, African and Caribbean colonised by analysing Christie's The Man in the Brown Suit, Murder in Mesopotamia, Appointment with Deah, and A Caribbean Mystery.

Full textAbstract:
For the past 25 years, many high schools have taken several different approaches to educating students. These changes have been based on the conditions that we find many of our high schools in across the nation, particularly in our high poverty, urban areas. Crime is on the rise, drop out rates are at an all-time high, students are leaving high school with test scores that quite simply embarrass our nation as a whole, and many, if not most of our students in overcrowded high schools, (some topping 5,000 students) are making it through their four years without much true contact with a meaningful adult. Many families, educators, researchers, non-profit organizations, school districts, states, and even some governmental agencies have teamed up to try to find solutions to our students not being adequately prepared for college or the work force. Several high schools across the nation have taken one of many innovative approaches to educating students. These include, but are not limited to, charter schools, Schools-within-a-school models, the Big Picture Schools model, the Coalition of Essential Schools model, the America's Choice model, alternative schools, focus or theme-based schools, and small learning communities. Statistics have shown that these types of schools are making positive strides in educating high school students as well as preparing them for the work force and making them productive members of society. This study takes an in-depth look at several small high school models of choice. In addition, the researcher looks at teachers and at some of the reasons why they chose to work at a small innovative high school. The themes that emerged from the data were used to develop a profile of those teachers. Moreover, a list of recommendations is given for administrators who may be interested in recruiting teachers for a small school of choice.

Full textAbstract:
The article discusses the adaptation of the Poirot novel Appointment with Death, comparing the original novel with the respective adaptations for television, the cinema, and the theatre.
While all adaptations share certain elements with the original source, it is shown that the motion picture starring Peter Ustinov remains most faithful to the novel despite changing some plot details and Ustinov’s performance that is unlike Christie’s original vision of the detective’s appearance. On the other hand, the television series – though retaining the general plot structure – deviates significantly from the novel in many ways, including adding new characters, altering the entire backstories, and altering the murderer’s motifs and approach. Eventually, the theatre version (adapted by Christie herself) is a radical rework of the novel by eliminating the Poirot character completely from the story as well as changing the murderer’s identity.

The Analects of Confucius -Yan Yuan" wrote: "I have heard the following.-Death and life have their determined appointment and riches and honors depend upon Heaven.” Since ancient times, it is a common attitude, each person is very concerned about their own destiny. In the world as long as there is a certain cultural history of the nation or country, there will be a set of their own numerology, but very few like the Chinese people have such a profound sense of life and culture. In the history of the development of civilization, this is a very special reflection of life. The Chinese people like to ask God everything, nothing more than hope that life can avoid bad luck and have peace day. And Purple Micro-bucket Number is in the traditional Chinese numerology culture, the most important one. Feng Shui, medicine, life, phase, and Bu for the ancient Chinese are five kinds of alchemy, and Purple Micro-bucket Number is in the "life" in this operation. Star scientists believe that the mysterious ideas contained in the change of stars in the sky and individual gas can be used to calculate the fate of people. For thousands of years, Purple Micro-bucket can be spread so far, because everyone wants to unlock the puzzles why there will be always different fates. But in today's scientific development, everything is about the evidence, many people are against life fatalism, and believe that things are man-made, people will win the day, and will not be limited by the theory of the fate of the ancients. People often hold a skeptical attitude about it. The research method of this study is based on the two former presidents of the Republic of China, Mr. Chen Shui-bian and Mr. Ma Ying-jeou, and analyzed the differences in the birth chart and the fate of the two men’s attitude and the results after leaving their office. You can understand the fortune of life do run in accordance with the rules of Purple Micro-bucket Number. This conclusion proves that the study of Purple Micro-bucket Number has its feasibility and should be used as the correct direction to follow in the process of life. This study suggests that people should know life, that is to know how much their ability and talent , and then follow fate, to follow their own ability to act, and finally is to create life, that is, when obtaining the stability of life, know how to pursue Learning to enhance their ability to create life. Through the study we hope that with the school of Purple Micro-bucket Number, tell people to know how to settle down, how can we meet each other, so that life is safe and our remaining days can be lived happily.

The draft of 3rd revision of Taiwan’s “Hospice and Palliative Care Act” announced on May 15th, 2013, enacted the advance directive document in five a letter of intent. On December 18, 2015, the Legislative Yuan finally passed the 3rd reading of the Taiwan’s “Patient Self-Determination Act”. It allows patients to have their rights to sign a letter of intent independently, and to refuse any treatments and terminate Advanced Hospice Palliative Care and Life Sustaining Care Choices of Intent. This difficult but well-intentioned case is based on the right to the best interests and respect of life. The current Hospice and Palliative Care Act is to set into action of “Advance Care Planning （ACP）”, which give us, as a human being, a hospice chance to make decisions for facing our ending of life. Though, is it true that the current ACP program regarding has covered all aspects of people’s choices for their ending stage of life? In this research, two main topics will be further discussed. The first is to discuss patient self-determination at his/her life ending stage, and 2) to explore the differences between making a pre-medical decision and care for life. The main method that was used in this research was either to review historical medical records or to have patient participate this research directly. The statistic result presents in this research was retrieved from an Emergency Room in a Teaching and Learning centre in North Taiwan. A retrospective approach was used to the collection of historical medical records from the 55 patients who were at their life ending stage, activating the discussion, signing, or doing business related to the social and cultural influences of the DNR or the pre-medical decision. Results show: 1) the rates of signing a pre-medical decision and DNR had an increasing trend when people age up, 2) the insufficiency and incompleteness from the current medical treatment in the final life of medical treatment provided by the ER team 3) unnecessary invasive medical care could be reduced if a pre-medical decision is signed at earlier stage, which could have the quality of life the patient pictures during their final stage, 4) a well-established relationship between family, spouse, and friends would increase willingness and motivation for arranging medical planning, and 5) when a disease has a clear development to death, the more you know about your own medical situation, the more likely it is that the patient will sign a pre-medical decision. 6) The issue of DNR is not to be limited to the life-conscious of the senior citizens, but to the life-self-determination of all different ages. The emphasis of care for life in this study is to be achieved through the life of the individual. The current pre-medical decision program is a good practice for the life-self-determination, and further to be able to maintain the life quality of the individual. This conclusion is expected to be an extension of the study of Life education in the days to follow.

This chapter covers the ensuing four days in the case and brings out the speed with which it proceeded in the criminal justice system after Fukunaga’s capture. The major events considered include his arrest as a result of spending some of the ransom money, his immediate admission of guilt, and the prompt publication in the newspapers of such incriminating statements by him. The chapter analyzes the official transcript of his police interrogation, which came to be referred to as his “confession,” that provided detailed information about his crime. It also notes the responses of the Japanese American community to the crime, including by their newspapers. The chapter concludes with a review of Fukunaga’s prompt arraignment in court for first-degree murder and appointment of his two attorneys.

NGBetween the resignation (or death) of a Prime Minister and the formal appointment of a successor the office is vacant. How is the office discharged during an interregnum, or when a Prime Minister is away from the United Kingdom, or is ill, or on holiday? There is no consistency on whether there is a Deputy Prime Minister, and indeed sometimes it is difficult to say who in a Cabinet should take temporary charge if the Prime Minister is unable to act. The constitutional nature of prime-ministerial deputies is fully explored, including examples of Ministers who are designated—in one of a number of ways—to act for a Prime Minister. The constitutional and political difficulties which would be caused by the death of a Prime Minister are examined, and possible answers to those difficulties are set out.

At the end of 1717 Bach moved to Anhalt-Cöthen (Köthen) as Capellmeister to the ruling prince. His years there, often described as his happiest, saw growing recognition as a musician and frequent travel, to Hamburg, Berlin, and elsewhere. They also saw the death of his first wife, but Bach soon remarried, to Anna Magdalena Wilcke, a court singer with whom he would perform regularly. Reductions in court spending on music may have led Bach to contemplate moving again, and much of his last year at Cöthen was overshadowed by his successful application for and ensuing negotiations concerning his appointment as cantor at Leipzig.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines depth in appointment, focusing on the tension between qualifications for administrative office and expectations for presidential control. What Trump’s administration has brought to the fore are the suspicions harbored by a unitary executive toward qualifications per se and in the broadest sense of the term. Ability, sound judgment, commitment to assigned duties are all presumptive conditions on presidential control, implicit limits on political subordination, anticipated brakes on personal will. Conversely, the demand for executive branch unity elevates loyalty above all other qualifications. Here, we offer snapshots of the drive to dissolve administrative qualifications into loyalty to the president at several sites, considering: a hybrid arrangement at the National Security Council; the use of acting appointments at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, Department of Homeland Security, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau; the assault on merit-based appointments for administrative law judges; and protections against at-will removal at independence agencies like the Federal Reserve.

This chapter studies the tumultuous period 1960–1964, focusing largely on developments in Washington, and incorporating analysis of Kennedy’s management of the Alliance and Lyndon Johnson’s tragic elevation to the presidency. In studying Johnson’s and Mann’s difficult relationships with Kennedy’s key Latin American aides, deep divisions within the administration are revealed that would have damaging consequences in the coming years. Long-simmering tensions would boil over following Mann’s appointment as head of Latin American policy, culminating in the creation of the “Mann Doctrine,” which critics of the administration claimed signaled the death of the Alliance. The clashes between New Frontier advocates of social-scientific theories of modernization and the New Deal liberalism of Johnson and Mann shed important new light on the planning and implementation of America’s “development decade.”

This chapter examines the role of the bishops of Rome, or popes, as ‘vicars of St Peter’, and also as ‘vicars of Christ’. St Paul taught that the Church was the body of Christ. If the Church was a body, then clearly, as John Alcock, bishop of Ely, declared in 1497, ‘in every realm of Christianity, the head thereof is Christ’. The chapter first considers what ordinary English people thought about popes and the papacy before discussing the issue of royal taxation of the clergy and the appointment of clergy to English benefices. It then explores lines of demarcation between common law and canon law, along with the arrest, imprisonment and death of a merchant named Richard Hunne, who was accused of heresy. It also looks at the issue of reforming the Church of England and people.

This chapter chronicles a few decisive ventures Kierkegaard had undertaken for various reasons, be it for love or for his work, and details the publication histories for his last few works. It first discusses his plans to publish one of his works, The Point of View for My Work as an Author, which was later published posthumously in 1859, with the aim of ensuring that his works would not be totally misunderstood after his death. The difficulties he felt about publishing his polemical works, however, were further complicated by both his plans to seek a Church appointment and by his thoughts of Regina Olsen. At this time of his life he considered the possibility of a rapprochement with Regina, who had by then married and taken on the surname of Schlegel. Ultimately, however, his attempts in this regard were cruelly rebuffed.
