Book excerpt: Hablar de ética en los medios de comunicación, en un momento histórico de crisis moral de valores, no resulta tarea sencilla, por lo que es imprescindible subrayar la importancia y actualidad de una deontología en este ámbito. Hoy en día, tanto estudiantes como profesionales de las ciencias de la información se enfrentan con problemas éticos que exigen tomar decisiones desde el punto de vista moral. Es lo que los anglosajones denominan making ethical decision. A tal efecto, este libro aporta fundamentales contenidos y reflexiones para una correcta resolución de los dilemas éticos en el ejercicio profesional del periodismo y de la comunicación audiovisual. Se abordan temas de actualidad y aplicación práctica como son, entre otros, el tratamiento ético de informaciones sobre violencia y terrorismo; la publicidad engañosa e información subliminal; la ética de los anuncios televisivos; la influencia de la televisión en los niños; la ética del fotógrafo en prensa y los paparazzi; la deontología del contertulio radiofónico; la importancia de la calidad de los contenidos en televisión; la telebasura y la responsabilidad social del cineasta.

Book excerpt: A obesidade infantil é um problema de saúde pública crescente que envolve o acúmulo excessivo de gordura corporal em crianças e adolescentes. Essa condição é uma das preocupações mais prementes da atualidade, dado seu impacto substancial na saúde e bem-estar das gerações mais jovens. Este capítulo discutirá a definição e prevalência da obesidade infantil, bem como destacará a importância do tópico no contexto da saúde pública. Definição e Prevalência da Obesidade Infantil A obesidade infantil é caracterizada por um excesso de peso corporal que está associado a riscos para a saúde. Ela é frequentemente avaliada usando o índice de massa corporal (IMC), que leva em consideração a relação entre peso e altura. Quando o IMC de uma criança ou adolescente está acima dos limites estabelecidos para sua faixa etária, ela é considerada obesa. No entanto, vale ressaltar que a obesidade infantil não é apenas um problema de estética, mas sim uma questão de saúde que está intimamente ligada a uma série de condições médicas, como diabetes tipo 2, hipertensão, doenças cardiovasculares e distúrbios musculoesqueléticos. A prevalência da obesidade infantil tem aumentado dramaticamente nas últimas décadas. Isso se tornou um fenômeno global, afetando tanto países desenvolvidos quanto em desenvolvimento. A transição de padrões alimentares menos saudáveis, aliada ao estilo de vida sedentário e à exposição constante a alimentos ultraprocessados, contribuiu para a disseminação desse problema. As taxas de obesidade infantil variam de acordo com as regiões e as populações, mas em muitos lugares, os números são alarmantes e indicam uma crise de saúde pública. Importância do Tópico e Sua Relevância para a Saúde Pública A obesidade infantil não deve ser subestimada, pois suas implicações vão muito além das preocupações de saúde individuais. Ela tem um impacto profundo nas comunidades, sistemas de saúde e economia em geral. Crianças obesas correm maior risco de se tornarem adultos obesos, aumentando as chances de desenvolver doenças crônicas debilitantes e onerosas. Isso coloca uma pressão significativa nos sistemas de saúde, consumindo recursos valiosos que poderiam ser alocados para outras áreas. Além disso, a obesidade infantil também influencia questões sociais e emocionais. Crianças obesas muitas vezes enfrentam discriminação, bullying e baixa autoestima, o que pode prejudicar seu desenvolvimento psicossocial. Isso pode ter efeitos duradouros ao longo da vida, afetando a qualidade de vida e a participação produtiva na sociedade. Em vista desses desafios, abordar a obesidade infantil tornou-se uma prioridade global. A necessidade de intervenções preventivas eficazes, programas de educação nutricional, promoção da atividade física e mudanças nas políticas públicas é crucial para reverter essa tendência preocupante. Este livro explorará essas questões em detalhes, fornecendo insights sobre as causas subjacentes, consequências e abordagens multidisciplinares que podem ser adotadas para enfrentar a epidemia de obesidade infantil de maneira abrangente e eficaz.

Download or read book Mini Nutritional Assessment MNA written by Bruno J. Vellas and published by Karger Medical and Scientific Publishers. This book was released on 1999 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first of a new series which will present the proceedings of the newly established Nestlé Nutrition Workshop Series: Clinical & Performance Programme aimed at adult nutrition. Undernutrition is a common phenomenon in elderly people, and malnutrition reaches significant levels in those being in hospital, nursing homes or home care programs. Consequences of malnutrition often go unrecognised owing to the lack of specific validated instruments to assess nutritional status in frail elderly persons. The Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA) provides a single, rapid assessment of nutritional status in the elderly of different degrees of independence, allowing the prevalence of protein-energy malnutrition to be determined and to evaluate the efficacy of nutritional intervention and strategies. Easy, quick and economical to perform, it enables staff to check the nutritional status of elderly people when they enter hospitals or institutions and to monitor changes occurring during their stay. Moreover, the MNA is predictive of the cost of care and length of stay in hospital. This publication will be of immense assistance to heads of geriatric teaching units, teachers in nutrition, clinicians general practitioners and dieticians, enabling them to better detect, recognise and start treatment of malnutrition in the elderly.

Download or read book Growing Smarter written by Robert D. Bullard and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2007-01-12 with total page 429 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The smart growth movement aims to combat urban and suburban sprawl by promoting livable communities based on pedestrian scale, diverse populations, and mixed land use. But, as this book documents, smart growth has largely failed to address issues of social equity and environmental justice. Smart growth sometimes results in gentrification and displacement of low- and moderate-income families in existing neighborhoods, or transportation policies that isolate low-income populations. Growing Smarter is one of the few books to view smart growth from an environmental justice perspective, examining the effect of the built environment on access to economic opportunity and quality of life in American cities and metropolitan regions. The contributors to Growing Smarter—urban planners, sociologists, economists, educators, lawyers, health professionals, and environmentalists—all place equity at the center of their analyses of "place, space, and race." They consider such topics as the social and environmental effects of sprawl, the relationship between sprawl and concentrated poverty, and community-based regionalism that can link cities and suburbs. They examine specific cases that illustrate opportunities for integrating environmental justice concerns into smart growth efforts, including the dynamics of sprawl in a South Carolina county, the debate over the rebuilding of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, and transportation-related pollution in Northern Manhattan. Growing Smarter illuminates the growing racial and class divisions in metropolitan areas today—and suggests workable strategies to address them.

Download or read book Critical Medical Anthropology written by Jennie Gamlin and published by UCL Press. This book was released on 2020-03-12 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Critical Medical Anthropology presents inspiring work from scholars doing and engaging with ethnographic research in or from Latin America, addressing themes that are central to contemporary Critical Medical Anthropology (CMA). This includes issues of inequality, embodiment of history, indigeneity, non-communicable diseases, gendered violence, migration, substance abuse, reproductive politics and judicialisation, as these relate to health. The collection of ethnographically informed research, including original theoretical contributions, reconsiders the broader relevance of CMA perspectives for addressing current global healthcare challenges from and of Latin America. It includes work spanning four countries in Latin America (Mexico, Brazil, Guatemala and Peru) as well as the trans-migratory contexts they connect and are defined by. By drawing on diverse social practices, it addresses challenges of central relevance to medical anthropology and global health, including reproduction and maternal health, sex work, rare and chronic diseases, the pharmaceutical industry and questions of agency, political economy, identity, ethnicity, and human rights.
