Cancer surviving patients' rehabilitation – understanding failure through application of theoretical perspectives from Habermas

This study aims to analyze whether the rehabilitation of cancer surviving patients (CSPs) can be better organized. The data for this paper consists of focus group interviews (FGIs) with CSPs, general practitioners (GPs) and hospital physicians. The analysis draws on the theoretical framework of Jürgen Habermas, utilizing his notions of 'the system and the life world' and 'communicative and stra...

Dedifferentiation and proliferation of surviving epithelial cells in acute renal failure.

In contrast to the heart or brain, the kidney can completely recover from an ischemic or toxic insult that results in cell death. During recovery from ischemia/reperfusion injury, surviving tubular epithelial cells dedifferentiate and proliferate, eventually replacing the irreversibly injured tubular epithelial cells and restoring tubular integrity. Repair of the kidney parallels kidney organog...

Surviving Internet Catastrophes

In this paper, we propose a new approach for designing distributed systems to survive Internet catastrophes called informed replication, and demonstrate this approach with the design and evaluation of a cooperative backup system called the Phoenix Recovery Service. Informed replication uses a model of correlated failures to exploit software diversity. The key observation that makes our approach...
