Abstract

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The German stroke units are sub-intensive units with the possibility of continuous monitoring of vital parameters. This is the main difference to Scandinavian and British non-intensive combined acute and rehabilitation stroke units. Germany has 56 regional and 50 local stroke units, and standards differ between them. Nearly 30% of all strokes in Germany are treated in these units. The German stroke units are cost intensive and unfortunately their effectiveness has not been proven yet.

[Sex education in practice and science in Germany].

Sex education in Germany has a history full of conflict and ideological change between emancipatory, reforming, and repressive tendencies. As a science, sex education has only recently gained independence from its mother disciplines theology, medicine, psychology, and sociology and at the same time has taken a critically constructive position towards sexual science. Its topics range from dissemination of knowledge about biological processes and contraception to relationship concerns, sexual orientation, gender issues, sexual transgression, moral, and ethical questions. Sexual socialization happens nearly everywhere. Sexual education takes place mainly in families, elementary education, and school, but increasingly also in all other areas of education, social work, and health service. Its clientèle are no longer exclusively children and adolescents but increasingly adults of every age group. Subjects such as AIDS, sexual abuse, and teenage pregnancy have contributed to governmental funding of projects and training in sex education. Thus, sex education still reaches from mere protection from dangers to fostering or maintaining psychological health.
