    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisThis upper level textbook provides a coherent introduction to the economic implications of individual and population ageing. Placing economic considerations into a wider social sciences context, this is ideal reading not only for advanced undergraduate and masters students in health economics and economics of ageing, but policy makers, professionals and practitioners in gerontology, sociology, health-related sciences, and social care.This volume introduces topics in labour economics, including the economic implications of ageing workforces. It covers pension economics and pension systems with their macroeconomic and distributive effects, and the question of risk. Finally, it describes macroeconomic consequences of ageing populations on aggregate saving, inflation, international trade, and financial markets.Trade Review“This monograph, which is Volume III of Economics and Ageing, provides an excellent account on important topics such as labour economics and ageing, pension systems and economics, their macroeconomic, risk and distributive implications. … Each part consists of several chapters. Each of the chapters appears to be self-contained and discusses a specific topic. References are included by the end of each chapters. A chapter-by-chapter review is provided in the sequel.” (Tak Kuen Siu, Tak Kuen Siu, zbMATH 1453.91002, 2021)Table of ContentsI Labour Economics and Ageing 1 The Older Labour Force 1.1 Scope of labour

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisThis compact book examines age friendliness within the framework of age-friendly ecosystems, and from a place-based approach, considering anchor institutions of neighborhoods, campuses and health environments as sites uniquely positioned to catalyze age equity and inclusivity. Age friendliness has grown from an idea into a social movement that recognizes the diversity of older adults, and integrates research, policy, programming and design practices. Compounding pressures of rapid aging, systemic ageism, and a growing disparity of resources compel us to rethink how we achieve equity in aging through the design of places and practices. Content for this book draws from a 2022 symposium, Age Friendly Communities as Platforms for Equity, Health & Wellness. Contributors build upon the content shared through the symposium in order to examine how neighborhoods, campuses and health environments are uniquely poised to support equity and to extend reach to historically marginalized populations of older adults. Ideas and experiences from national experts in aging, as well as real world experiences and narratives shared by older adults, students, community stakeholders and faculty researchers, are presented through a place-based approach. Collectively the voices in this book create a lens for empowering age-friendly ecosystems as environments for equitable aging by design. Among the topics covered:Creating an Age-Friendly Environment Across the EcosystemAge Friendliness as a Framework for Equity in AgingAge-Friendly Voices in the Pursuit of an Age-Friendly EcosystemAge-Friendly Futures: Equity by DesignAge-Friendly Ecosystems: Environments for Equitable Aging by Design is written for people who are interested in understanding how the age-friendly movement is transforming places we live community planners, designers, policy makers, aging service providers, academics and citizen activists. This compact volume presents a case of need for age friendliness in places we live, learn and care for our health. Readers with interests in the professional practice areas of aging studies/gerontology, architecture and planning, colleges and universities, community/neighborhood development, health systems, research, and policy will benefit from this brief that examines neighborhoods, campuses, and health environments from interdisciplinary perspectives.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisDie Medien berichten regelmäßig über Selbstmordattentate im Irak, in Pakistan und Afghanistan. Eine geringere mediale Aufmerksamkeit erhalten gewaltfreie Formen des Selbstopfers wie die Selbstverbrennung und das Todesfasten. Jenseits von Spekulationen, Kulturalisierungen und Pathologisierungen nähert sich der Autor diesem keineswegs seltenen Phänomen auf empirischer Basis. Anhand einer Analyse ausgewählter Abschiedsnachrichten und Märtyrervideos wird herausgearbeitet, wer die Adressaten eines solchen Aktes sind, welche Handlungserwartungen an diese gestellt werden und unter welchen Bedingungen der eigene Tod zu einer „Medienwaffe“ werden kann.Table of ContentsÜber Durkheim hinaus.- Theoretische Grundannahmen.- Formen des politisch motivierten Suizids.- Politisch motivierter Suizid: Erklärungsmodelle der Forschung.- Selbsttötung als kommunikativer Akt.- Gesellschaftliche Bedingungen des Selbstopfers.- Zum Sinn des politisch motivierten Suizids.

    15 in stock

    Book SynopsisVor dem Hintergrund einer alternden Gesellschaft sehen sich die Krankenhäuser nicht nur mit immer älteren Patienten, sondern auch mit einem Wandel des Krankheitspanoramas konfrontiert. Mittlerweile ist der größte Anteil aller Patienten über 65 Jahre alt und hat eine oder mehrere chronische Erkrankungen. Diese Veränderungen bedingen eine Neuausrichtung der Krankenbehandlung in den Krankenhäusern. Eine besondere Rolle scheint dabei die Demenz unter den chronischen Erkrankungen einzunehmen. Sie gilt als Störfaktor im Akutkrankenhaus. Der Autor geht diesem Phänomen mithilfe der Habitustheorie und der Systemtheorie, nach, um herauszuarbeiten, warum sich das System Krankenhaus aus seiner Sicht nicht ausreichend diesen neuen Herausforderungen annimmt. Besonders wird dabei das Zusammenspiel der Mediziner und der Pflegenden bei der Versorgung von Menschen mit einer Demenz im Akutkrankenhaus betrachtet. Die Metaphernanalyse hilft in diesem Zusammenhang, die inneren Denkmuster der beiden Professionen darzulegen und kann erste Erklärungsmöglichkeiten für die fehlende Orientierung bieten.Table of ContentsEinleitung.- Das Krankenhaus als besondere Organisation.- Einführung in die Professionstheorie – Ein Überblick.- Wandel im Gesundheitswesen - die Professionen Medizin und Pflege im Rahmen der gesellschaftlichen Veränderungen.- Kooperation und Kommunikation im Krankenhaus.- Akutversorgung Demenzkranker im Krankenhaus.- Zwischenbetrachtung.- Die fiktionale Narration einer qualitativen Studie im Rahmen einer Expertenbefragung.- Schlussbetrachtung.
