SCHMERZEN FORMEN: Agentielles Design in der Schmerzerfassung

by Johannes Maria Breuer

Wie stark sind die Schmerzen auf einer Skala von 1 bis 10? Sind sie pochend, stechend, pulsierend? Adäquate Schmerzerfassung stellt schon immer eine Herausforderung dar. Oftmals sind die Kategorien aktueller Instrumente allzu vereinfachend. Umfassendere, multidimensionale Assessments sind wiederum aufwendig und können für die Patient*innen eine Überforderung darstellen. Daher wird die Entwicklung einer intuitiven visuellen Form der Schmerzerfassung empfohlen. Sie berücksichtigt die Wechselwirkung zwischen Schmerzerleben und Schmerzrepräsentation in der Agentialität des Designs. Das Ergebnis ist ein digitales System, das durch die Modellierung multipler grafischer Parameter Schmerzen fluide, körperbezogen und mehrdimensional erfasst. Das System ermöglicht eine präzisere Verfolgung des Therapieverlaufs, kann die Körperwahrnehmung der Patient*innen verbessern und liefert Daten für eine patientenzentrierte und datengetriebene Medizin.

SELinux

by Bill Mccarty

The intensive search for a more secure operating system has often left everyday, production computers far behind their experimental, research cousins. Now SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) dramatically changes this. This best-known and most respected security-related extension to Linux embodies the key advances of the security field. Better yet, SELinux is available in widespread and popular distributions of the Linux operating system--including for Debian, Fedora, Gentoo, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE--all of it free and open source. SELinux emerged from research by the National Security Agency and implements classic strong-security measures such as role-based access controls, mandatory access controls, and fine-grained transitions and privilege escalation following the principle of least privilege. It compensates for the inevitable buffer overflows and other weaknesses in applications by isolating them and preventing flaws in one application from spreading to others. The scenarios that cause the most cyber-damage these days--when someone gets a toe-hold on a computer through a vulnerability in a local networked application, such as a Web server, and parlays that toe-hold into pervasive control over the computer system--are prevented on a properly administered SELinux system. The key, of course, lies in the words "properly administered." A system administrator for SELinux needs a wide range of knowledge, such as the principles behind the system, how to assign different privileges to different groups of users, how to change policies to accommodate new software, and how to log and track what is going on. And this is where SELinux is invaluable. Author Bill McCarty, a security consultant who has briefed numerous government agencies, incorporates his intensive research into SELinux into this small but information-packed book. Topics include: A readable and concrete explanation of SELinux concepts and the SELinux security model Installation instructions for numerous distributions Basic system and user administration A detailed dissection of the SELinux policy language Examples and guidelines for altering and adding policies With SELinux , a high-security computer is within reach of any system administrator. If you want an effective means of securing your Linux system--and who doesn't?--this book provides the means.
