(GP) is a branch of Evolutionary Computing that aims the automatic discovery of programs to solve a given problem. Since its appearance, in the earliest nineties, GP has become one of the most promising paradigms for solving problems in the artificial intelligence field, producing a number of human-competitive results and even patentable new inventions. And, as other areas in Computer Science, GP continues evolving quickly, with new ideas, techniques and applications being constantly proposed.\nThe purpose of this book is to show recent advances in the field of GP, both the development of new theoretical approaches and the emergence of applications that have successfully solved different real world problems. The volume is primarily aimed at postgraduates, researchers and academics, although it is hoped that it may be useful to undergraduates who wish to learn about the leading techniques in GP.",isbn:null,printIsbn:"978-953-51-0809-2",pdfIsbn:"978-953-51-5699-4",doi:"10.5772/3102",price:119,priceEur:129,priceUsd:155,slug:"genetic-programming-new-approaches-and-successful-applications",numberOfPages:300,isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"c0354ba67a0e83ff8e90a1a66fca66e7",bookSignature:"Sebastian Ventura",publishedDate:"October 18th 2012",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/2733.jpg",keywords:null,numberOfDownloads:27108,numberOfWosCitations:16,numberOfCrossrefCitations:18,numberOfDimensionsCitations:30,numberOfTotalCitations:64,isAvailableForWebshopOrdering:!0,dateEndFirstStepPublish:"December 5th 2011",dateEndSecondStepPublish:"January 9th 2012",dateEndThirdStepPublish:"April 14th 2012",dateEndFourthStepPublish:"July 13th 2012",dateEndFifthStepPublish:"August 12th 2012",remainingDaysToSecondStep:"9 years",secondStepPassed:!0,currentStepOfPublishingProcess:5,editedByType:"Edited by",kuFlag:!1,biosketch:null,coeditorOneBiosketch:null,coeditorTwoBiosketch:null,coeditorThreeBiosketch:null,coeditorFourBiosketch:null,coeditorFiveBiosketch:null,editors:[{id:"136112",title:"Dr.",name:"Sebastian",middleName:null,surname:"Ventura Soto",slug:"sebastian-ventura-soto",fullName:"Sebastian Ventura Soto",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/136112/images/3321_n.jpg",biography:"Sebastian Ventura was born in Cordoba (Spain) in 1966.

Our world is in constant change, and today, there is an enormous pressure by the mass media and the Internet to handle a massive amount of information every single day. To keep up with the current knowledge is therefore not an easy task. There is an increasing focus on life-long learning. This applies also to the field of palliative care and end-of-life care. Taking into account the increasing number of frail elderly people and people with demanding care needs in the future, it is obvious that all health care professionals should know how to provide palliative care and end-of-life care. But why should everybody be interested in learning palliative care when there are specialists to handle that? Due to an increased overall life expectancy, the demographic change and a growing awareness of palliative care needs of patients with nonmalignant diseases as, for example, terminal stages of heart-diseases, kidney diseases, neurological diseases, etc., an expected enormous number of people with a need for palliative care cannot be treated by specialized palliative care providers alone. In order to provide good palliative care to all in need, all citizens have to join in to help to provide palliative care for everybody in need. According to Kellehear, everybody has a responsibility of providing end-of-life care for others [1, 2].
\nAlthough many people would prefer to die at home, death has moved to happen mostly in institutions like hospitals or nursing homes within the last decades. Thus, communities and health care services have to prepare for an increasing number of people in need of palliative care and end-of-life care at home and in nursing homes [3, 4, 5]. The health care systems around the world will not be able to cope with this enormous task without an increased contribution from the public. In order to meet the needs of as many dying people as possible, the health care system has to cooperate with relatives, friends, and the whole community [1, 2, 3, 4]. Based on these facts and thoughts, there is a need that everybody should be educated in palliative care in order to be capable of caring for seriously ill and dying people at home.
\nAs pointed out above, the enormous need for palliative care in the future indicates a need not only to educate health care professionals about palliative care but also to include the whole society and all citizens. First Aid and emergency care can be used as an example for cooperation of the health care system and citizens. Without the help of citizens who provide first aid, many people would die or suffer from more serious damages following a heart attack, cardiac arrest, or trauma. The example of the city of Seattle in the USA has shown that the public can be trained and motivated to participate as bystanders in emergency care [6, 7]. In Seattle, 850,000 people have been trained in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) since 1971 [6]. The crucial factors to achieve that have been public education classes where people have to attend only once for a short period of approx 1–2 hours and broad information and motivation of the public [6, 7].
\nSeveral models of implementing palliative care have been described in the literature [8, 9]. The most common used approach uses an expert to ensure a good quality of palliative care provision [8, 9]. Based on my experience from working at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle and observations from the work of Medic I and Medic II, I have adapted the approach from emergency medicine applied in Seattle to the field of palliative care. The so-called
In analogy to the chain of survival used in emergency medicine (Figure 1), a
The chain of survival (from emergency care).
The chain of palliative care.
This approach (Figure 3) includes education for the public as initial step. One important feature is the demand for multidisciplinary education for all professionals involved in palliative care. Multidisciplinary education can be used to include a team-based approach not only in palliative care provision but also already in learning palliative care. This may increase the understanding of the different views of the different stakeholders involved in palliative care provision. Unfortunately, most education programs in palliative care for health care professionals are mono-disciplinary [7]. The European Association for Palliative Care has described three levels of palliative care knowledge (A, B, and C), and educational programs have been designed for professionals (nurses, physicians, etc.) in the field of palliative care according to [16]. In order to include the public, as well as leaders and researches, the six-step approach has been modified to include six different levels. These are six steps on the ladder to education and acquisition of competence in palliative care. It is important to aim for a multidisciplinary education in order to bring the members of the future multidisciplinary teams together already during the learning phase. This will help to understand the different tasks and views of the different professions and can help a team-based approach.
\nThe six-step approach to education in palliative care for all.
The six steps will now be explained in more detail:
In Germany, the
Different authors have suggested that there is a need to teach the public about palliative care [7, 10, 11, 12, 13, 17, 18, 19]. Nevertheless, there are just a few existing projects that try to teach the public on a large scale. Approaches that have been used are for example: group teaching of family carers in Australia [20, 21] or the open formats of the so-called death café or death chat [22, 23]. The latter invite people to discuss death and dying on a drop-in basis without any obligation to participate again.
\nA model to teach the public about palliative care is the

Knowledge alone is not sufficient enough to change practice. This important statement from Ferris [29] should inform all efforts to spread palliative care in the community. In order to turn knowledge into practice, we do need education, reflection of own attitudes toward death and dying, and a public discussion on the topic. Without a palliative care attitude of the public informed by hospice philosophy and humanitarian thinking, it may not be possible to provide palliative care to all people who need it. From my point of view, it is therefore important to educate people and to encourage public discussion about death and dying. Knowledge alone may be insufficient to change practice but education and discussion could be the first steps toward better palliative care provision for all in need.
\nIn the future, the need for palliative care in the community will increase. Education about palliative care by
