Download or read book Emerging Global Population Health Risks From Epidemiological Perspectives written by Russell Kabir and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-08-22 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public and global health professionals realize that despite significant advances in improving population health and preventing high mortality from communicable and non-communicable diseases and managing/treating both communicable and con-communicable diseases the global population health status remains fragile. This is partly due to the global life pattern in the 21st century making world as a global village. Individuals’ movements in global society have been facilitated rapidly and the current advance in travel and trade across different geographical locations allow rapid spread of any newly identified infectious agents. Therefore, relatively the likelihood of an outbreak and pandemic increases if there is no suitably coordinated active global surveillance in place.
Download or read book Labour Human Capital and Economic Development in Sabah written by Kasim Bin Mansor @ Md. Mansur and published by Universiti Malaysia Sabah Press. This book was released on 2021-08-06 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book highlights some contemporary issues related to Sabah’s economic growth, including socio-economic, labour and human capital. These issues are linked to relevant economic and growth theory approaches. Critical issues on the challenges in the development and the way forward to realise government policies such as the Sabah Development Corridor (SDC), the National Key Economic Area (NKEA) and the implementation of zakat to eradicate poverty will also be discussed. Economic development for Sabah is essential and is an ongoing effort to ensure that Sabah can compete in a gradually competitive economy. Implementing sound economic policies is vital in improving the social well-being and standard of living in the state. This book also explores socio- economic issues involving various ethnic groups in Sabah, especially improving human capital and infrastructure investment. The author identified that these elements are the key contributors and enablers to Sabah’s economic growth. Thus, economic growth and development are consistent agendas to ensure future generations can live comfortably in a conducive economic environment. Hence, this book re-emphasises the importance of knowledge workers in preparing the Industrial Revolution 4.0. The author also recommends that Sabah’s further economic development be attained through rigorous efforts from strong cooperation of state and federal government and firms, private sectors, industries, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and the people. The development can be realised through investment and innovation. This book is significant to academics, students, policymakers, and community in increasing awareness of the importance of labour, human capital and economic development in Sabah. While adding to existing literature, this book can also be an additional reference about Sabah’s key economic characteristics and labour market.
Download or read book Health of People Places and Planet written by Colin D. Butler and published by ANU Press. This book was released on 2015-07-31 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has three main goals. The first is to celebrate the work of a great public health figure, the late A.J. (Tony) McMichael (1942–2014). The second is to position contemporary public health issues in an interdisciplinary context and in ways that highlight the interdependency between the environment, human institutions and behaviours; a broad approach championed by Tony. The third is to encourage emerging and future public health leaders to advocate for policies and cultural change to sustain and improve human health, from a foundation of objective scholarship. The book’s foreword and 38 chapters were written by people who were inspired by Tony; many of whom worked with him at some point in the last 40 years. Its structure reflects five major public health domains, each of which Tony made major contributions to in an extremely productive academic life: occupational health and safety; environmental and social epidemiology; nutrition and food systems; climate change and health; and ecosystem change and infectious disease. The final section, ‘Transformation’, is dedicated to Tony’s desire for public health scientists to propose adaptive and mitigating solutions to the problems they were observing. Each section contains at least one key publication involving Tony. There is also a selection of artworks from an exhibition which formed part of the conference held to honour Tony at The Australian National University in 2012. This conference formed the first part of Tony’s festschrift, completed by this book.

Download or read book Health Care Systems in Developing Countries in Asia written by Christian Aspalter and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-14 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the last two decades, major Asian economies have successfully kept their economic growth momentum going. Now, as these economies are entering a new phase of economic growth, more attention is being paid to their respective states of social development, especially the provision and the expansion of social security and, in particular, health care. Academic study of the development of health care in developing countries has been for the most part neglected by the literature, and in-depth country case studies that are directly comparable on a one-to-one basis have not yet been conducted in a systematic manner. This book volume also proposes a new stance on health policy and the health care policy paradigm, one that focuses on "saving lives" from premature death, as well as illness, accidents, misery and poverty, based on the normative theory of developmental social policy (DSP). This groundbreaking book will therefore serve as a valuable reference volume for health policy, social policy and public policy experts, social development experts, health and development economists, health sociologists, social workers, government administrators as well as other medical and health professionals and academics.

Download or read book Migration and Health in Asia written by Santosh Jatrana and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-01-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The processes of migration and health are inextricably linked in complex ways, with migration impacting on the mental and physical health of individuals and communities. Health itself can be a motivation for moving or a reason for staying, and migration can have implications on the health of those who move, those who are left behind, and the communities that receive migrants. This volume brings together some of the increasing number of researchers who are studying health and migration in Asia - a continent which is a major exporter and importer of human resources. Using both quantitative and qualitative approaches, the essays included in this work investigate the interdisciplinary issues of health and health-related behaviours in the field of migration. Comprehensive and scholarly, Migration and Health in Asia also covers major themes such as the pandemics of HIV/AIDS and SARS, differential access to health and civil society for migrants, and the health of the populations who are left behind.
Download or read book Health Education in Context An International Perspective on Health Education in Schools and Local Communities written by Neil Taylor and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-09-07 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an international perspective on health education and specifically the influence that context has on this aspect of education. The focus includes both formal and non-formal health education and the factors that impact upon its effectiveness, particularly in non-Western and non-English-speaking contexts (i.e., outside the UK, USA, Australia, NZ, etc.). An important feature of the book is that it draws upon the experiences and research of local experts, representing the perspectives of an extremely diverse cohort across the world (22 countries and 2 regions in total). The book addresses topics such as: the development and implementation of health education in different countries; the influence of political, cultural, societal or religious mores; governmental or ministerial drives; economic or other pressures driving curriculum reform; and the influence of external assessment regimes on health education. By embedding discussions of health education in local contexts and representing a diversity of perspectives on this important topic this book highlights both barriers and enablers to improving health education across the globe.
