Download or read book Silver Opportunity written by Xiaohui Hou and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2023-03-28 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a rapidly aging world, in which people who are age 60 and older outnumber children under the age of five. This book reveals large and growing gaps in care for older adults in countries at all income levels and shows how to leverage reforms for improving health outcomes for older adults and create healthier, more prosperous communities. Aimed at policy makers and other health and development stakeholders who want to promote healthier aging, Silver Opportunity compiles the latest evidence on care needs and gaps for aging populations. It argues that primary health care should be the cornerstone of integrated service delivery for older people, but primary health care systems must first build their capacity to respond to older people’s health needs. It presents an original framework for policy action to advance primary health care†“centered, integrated senior care; documents the experiences of pioneering countries in delivering community-based care to older people; and provides recommendations for decision-makers. The framework presents four policy levers with which to improve health care for seniors—financing, innovation, regulation, and evaluation and measurement—or FIRE. Finally, the book posits that by acting now, countries can leverage population aging to accelerate progress toward health equity and universal health coverage.

Download or read book Drawing the Line written by Erich Hatala Matthes and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-11-08 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can we still watch Woody Allen's movies? Can we still laugh at Bill Cosby's jokes? Woody Allen, Kevin Spacey, Dave Chappelle, Louis C. K., J.K. Rowling, Michael Jackson, Roseanne Barr. Recent years have proven rife with revelations about the misdeeds, objectional views, and, in some instances, crimes of popular artists. Spurred in part by the #metoo movement, and given more access than ever thanks to social media and the internet in general, the public has turned an alert and critical eye upon the once-hidden lives of previously cherished entertainers. But what should we members of the public do, think, and feel in response to these artists' actions or statements? It's a predicament that many of us face: whether it's possible to disentangle the deeply unsettled feelings we have toward an artist from how we respond to the art they produced. As consumers of art, and especially as fans, we have a host of tricky moral question to navigate: do the moral lives of artists affect the aesthetic quality of their work? Is it morally permissible for us to engage with or enjoy that work? Should immoral artists and their work be canceled? Most of all, can we separate an artist from their art? In Drawing the Line, Erich Hatala Matthes employs the tools of philosophy to offer insight and clarity to the ethical questions that dog us. He argues that it doesn't matter whether we can separate the art from the artist, because we shouldn't. While some dismiss the lives of artists as if they are irrelevant to the artist's work, and others instrumentalize artwork, treating it as nothing more than a political tool, Matthes argues both that the lives of artists can play an important role in shaping our moral and aesthetic relationship to the artworks that we love and that these same artworks offer us powerful resources for grappling with the immorality of their creators. Rather than shunning art made by those who have been canceled, shamed, called out, or even arrested, we should engage with it all the more thoughtfully and learn from the complexity it forces us to confront. Recognizing the moral and aesthetic relationships between art and artist is crucial to determining when and where we should draw the line when good artists do bad things.

Download or read book Quality of Life Improvement Smart Approaches for the Working and Aging Populations written by Sabina Baraković and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2024-03-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Quality of life (QoL) is a broad concept that has many definitions and meanings depending on the context under consideration. It can be perceived as the overall enjoyment of life, and a multidimensional concept which emphasizes the self-perceptions of an individual’s current state of mind, which is affected in a complex way by the person’s physical health, psychological state, personal beliefs, social relationships, and their relationship to salient features of their environment. On the other hand, demographic data suggests an increased need for workers worldwide and a rapid aging trend in the active workforce as well as in general. This trend of workforce deficit and population aging will be even more prominent in the future. Therefore, in order to have and sustain a healthy, motivated, and productive workforce, but also healthy, independent, and active elderly adults, one must improve their QoL, and vice versa. Improving QoL will improve general public health, and in turn create communities who can contribute in diverse and positive ways to both promote and sustain health for future generations.

Download or read book Aging Across Cultures written by Helaine Selin and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-01-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume brings together chapters about aging in many non-Western cultures, from Africa and Asia to South America, from American Indians to Australian and Hawaii Aboriginals. It also includes articles on other issues of aging, such as falling, dementia, and elder abuse. It was thought that in Africa or Asia, elders were revered and taken care of. This certainly used to be the case. But the Western way has moved into these places, and we now find that elders are often left on their own or in institutions, as younger people have migrated to other cities and even countries. Grandparents often find themselves being parents to their grandchildren, a far cry from the kind of life they believed they would have as they aged. This book will explore all these issues and will be of use to students and researchers in this relatively new field.

Book excerpt: The Official Report of the House Judiciary Committee on the Impeachment—Plus the Dissenting Views from Republicans, the full Impeachment Inquiry Report on The Results of The Trump-Ukraine Investigation, the Articles of Impeachment and the Republican Report Disputing the Results of the Democratic Investigation, as well as an Introduction by Acclaimed Legal Scholar Alan Dershowitz This groundbreaking report—released by the US House Committee on the Judiciary, chaired by Jerry Nadler—contains the results of the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump’s actions as he sought for Ukraine to announce investigations into Hunter Biden, as well as an explanation of the committee's process and its justification for recommending two articles of impeachment against Trump, abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. This new report, separated into four parts, details the process by which the House Intelligence Committee investigated the case against Trump. Part Two is dedicated to examining the standards of impeachment laid out in the Constitution. Part Three delves into the proof and details of the Democrats' case that Trump abused the power of his office to pressure the Ukrainian government to investigate his political rival and interfere in the 2020 presidential election. Finally, Part Four makes the case that President Trump obstructed Congress's ability to hold the executive branch accountable by defying House investigators' requests for documents and testimony. Besides including the House Judiciary Committee's full report, The Impeachment Report also presents the Dissenting Views from Republicans, the findings of the Intelligence Committee’s investigation in the full original impeachment report, the articles of impeachment themselves, a rebuttal report from Republican representatives that disputes the process and results of the Democratic investigation, and an introduction by esteemed attorney Alan Dershowitz. It is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to know whether impeachment is warranted, and is a critical text in the ongoing back-and-forth battle to protect American democracy.
