Download or read book El tiempo congelado written by Luigi Onnis and published by Editorial GEDISA. This book was released on 2016-04-15 with total page 331 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La anorexia y la bulimia son trastornos de la conducta alimentaria en alarmante expansión. Difundidas sobre todo entre las mujeres adolescentes, expresan sin embargo un sufrimiento que va más allá del problema nutricional. Este libro quiere devolver a estos trastornos el significado de «fenómenos complejos», en los que se entrecruzan influencias socioculturales, relacionadas con las profundas transformaciones del rol de la mujer en una sociedad que exhibe cuerpos eternamente jóvenes y eficientes; aspectos psicológicos individuales, que en la problemática relación con el cuerpo expresan dificultad para asumir el crecimiento; y dinámicas familiares, donde la rigidez de los lazos y mitos compartidos parecen detener las propias capacidades evolutivas de las jóvenes. Hay pues un hilo conductor que atraviesa los múltiples componentes invo-lucrados en estos trastornos: el imposible intento de suspender el tiempo del desarrollo y del crecimiento. De este tiempo suspendido, el cuerpo anoréxico y bulímico ofrece una sugestiva metáfora, cuyos significados se van reconstruyendo pacientemente en esta obra. Una guía esencial que ayudará a comprender mejor el sentido de un sufrimiento cada vez más extendido entre las generaciones jóvenes.

Download or read book Nudging towards Health written by Radek Kovács and published by Charles University in Prague, Karolinum Press. This book was released on 2023-09-01 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behavioral economics sees “nudges” as ways to encourage people to re-evaluate their priorities in such a way that they voluntarily change their behavior, leading to personal and social benefits. This book examines nudging as a tool for influencing human behavior in health policy. The authors investigate the contemporary scientific discourse on nudging and enrich it with an ontological, epistemological and praxeological analysis of human behavior. On the basis of detailed analyses of the literature and a systemic review, nudging tools are defined in the paradigm of prospect theory. In addition to the theoretical contribution, the book also examines and offers suggestions on the practice of health policy regarding obesity, malnutrition, and especially type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Book Design for Vulnerable Communities

Download or read book Design for Vulnerable Communities written by Emanuele Giorgi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-05-30 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book aims to provide bases for reasoning on what challenges urban-architectural design for vulnerable communities will face in the coming years. Several issues, such as technological development, climate change, political crisis and economic uncertainties show as traditional strategies and methodologies are not sufficient to deeply solve the problems of these complex realities. These new changes, which are studied in different fields of knowledge, highlight the fact that the development of effective solutions must be characterized by multidisciplinary approaches and must be based on strategies promoted by different disciplines. For this reason, this contributed volume collects contributions and considerations from experts in various fields of knowledge working in different parts of the world, such as the Americas, Europe and Asia. The goal is precisely to provide the reader with multidisciplinary knowledge and methodologies in order to better reflect and analyze the challenges that designing for vulnerable communities will face in the next few years. These multidisciplinary studies are organized into five sections: Sustainability and Vulnerabilities in Time of the Anthropocene Approaches, Principles and Paradigms to Contemporary Research and Practice for Vulnerable Communities Designing for Vulnerabilities: Applications and Actions Social Engagement in Vulnerable Communities Between Digital and Humanist Visions Vulnerabilities in Context: Analysis and Projects in the U.S.-Mexico Border Region Design for Vulnerable Communities will be of interest primarily to researchers and professionals in the field of urban-architectural design, but it will also be a useful tool to policy makers and members of civil society at large interested in making cities more inclusive.

Book Eating Disorders in Boys and Men

Download or read book Eating Disorders in Boys and Men written by Jason M. Nagata and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-04-12 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Boys and men with eating disorders remain a population that is under-recognized and underserved within both research and clinical contexts. It has been well documented that boys and men with eating disorders often exhibit distinct clinical presentations with regard to core cognitive (e.g., body image) and behavioral (e.g., pathological exercise) symptoms. Such differences, along with the greater likelihood of muscularity-oriented disordered eating among boys and men, emphasize the importance of understanding and recognizing unique factors of clinical relevance within this population. This book reviews the most up-to-date research findings on eating disorders among boys and men, with an emphasis on clinically salient information across multiple domains. Five sections are included, with the first focused on a historical overview and the unique nature and prevalence of specific forms of eating disorder symptoms and body image concerns in boys and men. The second section details population-specific considerations for the diagnosis and assessment of eating disorders, body image concerns, and muscle dysmorphia in boys and men. The third section identifies unique concerns regarding medical complications and care in this population, including medical complications of appearance and performance-enhancing substances. The fourth section reviews current findings and considerations for eating disorder prevention and intervention for boys and men. The fifth section of the book focuses on specific populations (e.g., sexual minorities, gender minorities) and addresses sociocultural factors of particular relevance for eating disorders in boys and men (e.g., racial and ethnic considerations, cross-cultural considerations). The book then concludes with a concise overview of key takeaways and a focused summary of current evidence gaps and unanswered questions, as well as directions for future research. Written by experts in the field, Eating Disorders in Boys and Men is a comprehensive guide to an under-reported topic. It is an excellent resource for primary care physicians, adolescent medicine physicians, pediatricians, psychologists, clinical social workers, and any other professional conducting research with or providing clinical care for boys and men with eating disorders. It is also an excellent resource for students, residents, fellows, and trainees across various disciplines.
