Book excerpt: Não acordámos ainda para a nova realidade das pessoas mais velhas — mais idosas, com uma esperança de vida bem mais longa do que há umas décadas atrás e com as gerações sucessivas a mostrarem ganhos ao nível físico e mental. Pelo contrário, continuamos a julgá-las com base em crenças e preconceitos, ultrapassados. O objetivo deste livro é o de pôr em causa, de uma forma simples e prática, algumas das crenças que estão na base da discriminação e da exclusão das pessoas mais velhas. Acreditamos que viver bem é simples e, muitas vezes, depende da desconstrução de algumas ideias feitas que nos aprisionam e limitam a nossa capacidade de sermos felizes e livres. Promover o bem-estar dos mais velhos implica uma sociedade com mais reforços disponíveis e com um maior número de escolhas possíveis ao longo de todo o ciclo de vida.

Book excerpt: A XVI Jornada de Iniciação Científica da Universidade Católica de Petrópolis faz parte do espírito de celebração acadêmica, de diálogo científico e de reconhecimento que movem nossa comunidade de ensino e pesquisa. Dentre as principais tarefas da XVI Jornada de Iniciação Científica, destacam-se a celebração das metas já alcançadas, a consciência dos limites dos saberes adquiridos, o reconhecimento da complementariedade na diversidade dos temas, problemas e métodos científicos, e, a projeção do futuro de nossa comunidade sobre o vasto universo da pesquisa. A ampliação dos horizontes de nossa Universidade exige sempre mais daqueles que se unem em razão da busca da verdade através da pesquisa acadêmica. Graças à maturidade de seus cursos de graduação e à gradativa consolidação de seus programas de pós-graduação stricto sensu, a Universidade Católica de Petrópolis oferece um campo cada vez mais amplo de oportunidades e desafios para a iniciação à investigação científica. A publicação dos Anais da XVI Jornada de Iniciação Científica da Universidade Católica de Petrópolis demonstra o compromisso institucional com a divulgação da produção científica. Ao serem publicados na forma de Anais, os resumos dos projetos de pesquisa oferecem um panorama sintético do que se realiza com os recursos do Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico (CNPq) e da Fundação Celso da Rocha Miranda (FCRM). Os organizadores da presente publicação agradecem à Reitoria da Universidade pela confiança nos trabalhos de iniciação científica, desenvolvidos pelo seu corpo docente e discente. Agradecem aos docentes, externos e internos, responsáveis pela criteriosa seleção dos projetos contemplados pelo Programa Institucional de Bolsas de Iniciação Científica (PIBIC/CNPq e PIBIC/FCRM). Agradecem também a todos os que aderiram à atual proposta de publicação, enviando no prazo os seus resumos aos cuidados da Coordenação Geral de Pesquisa e Pós-Graduação. Agradecem, enfim, aos funcionários da UCP, que tornaram possível a realização em 29 de outubro de 2014 da XVI Jornada de Iniciação Científica da Universidade Católica de Petrópolis. Esperamos que essa obra seja uma justa memória e, sobretudo, um sincero reconhecimento aos professores e aos jovens pesquisadores da UCP pela perseverança na árdua e gratificante busca do saber.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the efficacy of a multidisciplinary intervention strategy for promoting active and healthy ageing, with the assistance of dedicated technological resources. Taking an applied approach, this book promotes active and healthy ageing through the implementation of an intervention model based on the comprehensive geriatric approach (AGA). The proposed AGA model, entitled AGA@4life, is based on a holistic and multidisciplinary individual assessment protocol, with the consequent design and implementation of intervention strategies tailored to each individual, aimed at preventing frailty and functional, cognitive and social decline of the elderly. Intervention actions focus on personalized exercise programs, nutrition education, cognitive stimulation, co-morbidity monitoring, therapeutic counselling, and overall promotion of well-being. This book will be of interest to researchers, professionals, and students working in ageing and health, gerontology, and preventative and holistic approaches to well-being.

This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 404 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European Union has committed itself to the goal of extending the healthy lifespan of its citizens by two years under the 2020 strategy. This book brings together a diverse range of overviews, reflections and empirical research in the area which arise from the contribution of professionals and researchers from different fields of knowledge. Together they undertake to suggest possible pathways and to inspire action in all those who see themselves as participants in the processes and endeavour of building a society which espouses active, dignified, healthy and mindful aging. The background perspective which informs this project – that which is commonly referred to as Lifelong Education – calls for an integrated approach from diverse areas of knowledge in the service of building a more enlightened society: less susceptible to the influence of prejudices, enriched with human beings driven by ideals of health, justice, solidarity and nobility of spirit. Life must be understood as a totality that takes meaning from all its phases and which stimulates the vast potential that human beings, including older people and society at large, with its various systems, have for the common good. Let us face the challenge of building a new humanism, placing human beings and the sustainability of all forms of life at the centre of the dynamic process of change!

Book excerpt: A existência da mulher indígena na mitologia é um caso labirintado que nem sempre nos deixa tirar conclusão lógica. Esta peremptória afirmativa nos permite inferir que, em se tratando da mulher sateré-mawé, só é possível conhecermos o seu valor dentro da etnia se localizarmos a inscrita capaz de nos levar até o rastro onde se firma o ethos feminino. Tecer fina tessitura sobre o ethos da mulher sateré-mawé supõe recompor o conjunto de valores arquetípicos que vicejam no dorso do contemporâneo e que pulsam nas veias da tradição, como um escuro potencialmente capaz de ver a luz.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a reference guide in the field of dermatology, presenting and discussing its interface with public health. Dermatological diseases are extremely common in populations around the globe, and the systematization of knowledge about these dermatoses and their relationships with different epidemiological factors may help us to understand the challenges that governments and private institutions face and must try to overcome in order to improve global health. Undergraduate and graduate students, dermatologists and general practitioners who study and / or work in the area will find scientific support in this book, which is intended as a reference work for dermatological practice and public health. The book has ten sections addressing carefully selected topics, including: 1. concepts in dermatoepidemiology and the international strategies in programs of Public Health; 2-6. the most significant skin diseases (including dermatology in tropical medicine) ; 7. diseases that are not primarily dermatological, but have a high impact on public health and may have skin and mucosal manifestations; 8. a number of emerging issues in dermatology in public health; 9. clinical approaches (diagnosis and management) to common dermatological symptoms and 10. multidisciplinary approaches in dermatology.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most pressing questions facing society today is how to care for its burgeoning elderly population. By the year 2050, experts predict that one-third of the world’s population will be over 60 years old. Health promotion for the elderly is therefore becoming an increasingly important topic in public policy and planning. This book examines the challenges presented by an ageing global population, our varying expectations of healthy ageing, and the importance of exercise and physical activity for the elderly. Drawing on empirical research from around the world, it considers the factors that influence health and well-being in later life and compares practices and policies designed to promote healthy ageing. It presents case studies from 15 countries spanning Europe, North and South America, Africa and Asia, and sheds light on how attitudes to physical activity differ across nations, regions and cultures. Ageing, Physical Activity and Health: International Perspectives is important reading for all students, researchers and practitioners with an interest in physical activity, public health, exercise science or gerontology.

This book was released on 2023-01-06 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The phenomenon of aging results from the transition from a demographic model whose birth and mortality rates are exceptionally high to another model in which both demographic factors are increasingly lower. Today’s organizations will encounter issues related to the aging of their workforce. It is necessary to consider and implement new strategies through age management that can contribute to society at various phases of life. Examining the Aging Workforce and Its Impact on Economic and Social Development builds on existing literature in the field of the aging workforce for the economic and social development of countries while providing additional research opportunities in this dynamic and growing field. This book reflects on this critical issue, increasing the understanding of the importance of the aging workforce in the context of the business and management area, and providing relevant academic work, empirical research findings, and an overview of this relevant field of study. Covering topics such as hiring practices, workplace age diversity, and retention practices, this premier reference source is an excellent resource for government officials, business leaders, human resource managers, sociologists, students and educators of higher education, librarians, researchers, and academicians.

This book was released on 2022-03-11 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Older employees are often seen as an obstacle and not as an opportunity for companies, especially regarding the transfer of knowledge and experience. Effective development and utilization of older professional and managerial employees is an important issue as most organizations are not prepared to tailor their training methods to the needs and preferences of these employees due to negative stereotypes. Managing a rapidly aging workforce and sustaining economic dynamism calls for systematic research to prevent age discrimination due to an incomplete knowledge of older workers and politically challenging policy choices that require strong political commitments, robust management leadership, and social consensus. International Perspectives and Strategies for Managing an Aging Workforce examines the differences in stereotypes of older employees compared to younger employees in companies; analyzes the impact of the aging workforce on retention, productivity, and well-being; and investigates organizational systems, processes, and practices for managing older workers. Covering a range of topics such as retention and retirement, this reference work is ideal for researchers, academicians, practitioners, business owners, managers, human resource workers, instructors, and students.
