Q. how to solve the carers' overpayments crisis?

A. do the checks on earning quicker so overpayment 'debts' do not accrue to the levels they have in the past?

That's the DWP's (technocratic) answer.

A better answer might be to respect carers, recognise that unless they have a pension they have to work to supplement it & remove this threshold altogether.

Once people are providing care, lets just pay them & not penalise them for juggling their incomes!

Where is the #care in Health Care? "Blue Cross had stranded many of the center’s patients with high bills, amounts that it had absorbed over the years. On several occasions, though, Blue Cross executives had signed special one-time deals with the center, known as single case agreements, to pay for their wives’ cancer treatment."

The interaction between the NHS & the care system is so difficult to navigate that its harming carers & those who need care; its exhausting carers (who often have to retell their medical histories again & again) to the point of burnout.

Although as yet only partly exposed to this (as the primary carer for my wife) I have already experienced the exhaustion of constantly having to go back to square one to explain to a new specialist what is going on....

Coucou Mastodon,

Je migre doucement de mon Instagram jusqu'à vous, en profond désaccord avec les politiques d'utilisation Méta et les idéologies de ses détenteurs.

#Smartphone and social media harms: why we failed in our duty of #care

"...Why has it taken a #Netflix show to focus minds and ignite interest in the serious consequences of social #media...?"

The BMJ · Smartphone and social media harms: why we failed in our duty of careThe Netflix series Adolescence is hard to escape. One of the judges at our South Asia Awards in Delhi last weekend told me that his family were gripped by the drama about a teenage schoolboy in England who, influenced by the “manosphere,” murders a female student.1 While the universally acclaimed series might have further explored the harms posed by the manosphere (doi:10.1136/bmj.p2947),2 it makes us confront some difficult issues, themes that resonate powerfully around the globe. One of these is smartphone use by children and the access it gives them to social media. Where should we stand on this? Many of us began by viewing social media and smartphones as a force for good. The benefits, we imagined, outweighed the harms. And perhaps that’s still true …

In the last 10 years the number of people in the over-65 age group has risen by 20%, while the number of care home beds has risen by less than 3%.

The former figure is a testament to rising life expectancy & better health care, the latter figure is the context in which there is a crisis in the availability of place if care homes (driving up prices & locking many unpaid carers into care for relatives, while being kicked by the DWP).

We need a solution for everyone's sake!

In einem gemeinsamen Workshop der Konsortien @NFDI4Memory , @nfdi4objects und @Textplus auf der #DHd2025 wurde anhand konkreter Use Cases eine Einführung in #DublinCore, #TEI und #LIDO vermittelt, die Bedeutung von #Normdaten und #Terminologien betont und die #Minimaldatensatz-Empfehlung für #Museen und #Sammungen vorgestellt.

ZenodoQualitativ hochwertige Metadaten in digitalen EditionenMaterialien zum Workshop "Qualitativ hochwertige Metadaten in digitalen Editionen“, der im Rahmen der „DHd 2025: Under Construction“ in Bielefeld von Mitarbeiter:innen der NFDI-Konsortien Text+, NFDI4Memory, NFDI4Objects, der Verbundzentrale des GBV und dem Institut für Museumsforschung gehalten wurde. Ziel des Workshops war die praxisnahe Vermittlung von Wissen zur Bewertung und Verbesserung der Qualität von Metadaten in digitalen Editionen. Ausgehend von konkreten Fallbeispielen in Form verschiedener Überlieferungssituationen von Briefen (neu zu erschließen, Abschrift, indirekter Hinweis) wurden die Problemfelder aufgerissen, die hinsichtlich der Beschreibung der verschiedenen Arten von Metadaten auftreten können. Drei Übungsblöcken waren jeweils kurze thematischen Einführungen zu den Basisthemen Metadaten, Normdaten und kontrollierten Vokabularen, Dublin Core, LIDO sowie Datenqualität und Datenkuratierung vorangestellt. In den Praxisübungen arbeiteten die Teilnehmer:innen in Gruppen oder eigenständig mit den Metadaten-Standards Dublin Core, LIDO und TEI-XML. Die Übungen zielten darauf ab, die Erstellung von Metadatensets, auch anhand von Metadateneditoren, zu erproben und aus der eigenen Erfahrung Methoden zur Bewertung der Qualität und zur Bereinigung eigener bzw. bereits vorhandener Metadatensets zu entwickeln.

#Metadaten sind ein zentraler Baustein, um #Datenpublikationen nachnutzbar anzubieten. Sie enthalten Informationen über #Provenienz, #Erfassung und #Bearbeitung von #Daten. So kann eine #Informationsprovenienz sichergestellt werden. In #Editionen gibt es bereits zahlreiche Metadaten in Registern und Apparaten, z. B. über #Personen und #Geografika, die in den Texten vorkommen.

Our new paper proposes adapting the #CARE Principles o manage sensitive information during wartime and humanitarian crises:

👉 doi.org/10.1038/s41597-025-047

We explore how CARE (Collective Benefit, Authority to Control, Responsibility, Ethics) can protect internally displaced persons and civilians in occupied territories from potential misuse of their data.

It's crucial to remember that in conflict conditions, data isn't just numbers - it's people's safety and lives.
