Core-12: implementation of flexible scheduling.

Flexible scheduling and its impact on nursing are topics of growing interest among nurses. Described in this article is a flexible scheduling system developed by a surgical intensive care unit nursing staff around a core of 12 1/2-hour work shifts. As a result of careful consideration and planning, a master schedule, staffing guidelines, and a work agreement were prepared for a large department of nursing. Administrators of other departments of nursing implementing flexible scheduling should find this information useful.

[Education in the 2d half of life--counteraction to social and cultural deprivation in the elderly?].

During recent years universities have increasingly attracted men and women of middle age and old age. On the basis on a sample of appr. 350 fully enrolled students age 45 and over, drawn from the official 1980 students' census in Lower Saxony, we describe the group of older students in terms of age, sex, education, and social status, in order to compare their characteristical structure to the normal students. We, furthermore, formulate hypotheses on their attitudes toward learning in later years, their motives to choose the university, and their personal as well as social aspirations. Obvious are their need to orientate themselves in a critical life situation, and their need to actualize knowledge and skills in order to minimize the adverse effects of social segregation. We perceive the middle aged and older persons' return to university studies as a paradigm both for an individual's active reaction toward prescribed social obsolescence, and as a valuable attempt to reestablish intergenerational relations.

Induction of tolerance in mature peripheral T cells.

Self tolerance can not only be established during T cell maturation in the thymus but also in mature peripheral T cells by several extrathymic mechanisms. This has been found by analysing anti-Kb T cell receptor transgenic mice which expressed this transplantation antigen as a second transgene product in various extrathymic tissues. The described observations could lead to new strategies to improve immunosuppression in allograft transplantation.
