Book Synopsis Genetic Discrimination by : Gerard Quinn
Download or read book Genetic Discrimination written by Gerard Quinn and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-11-20 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As genetic technologies advance, genetic testing may well offer the prospect of detecting the onset of future disabilities. Some research also forwards that certain behavioural profiles may have a strong genetic basis, such as the determination to succeed, or the propensity for risk-taking. As this technology becomes more prevalent, there is a danger that genetic information may be misused by third parties and that particular genetic profiles may be discriminated against by employers, by providers of social goods and services, such as insurance companies and even by educational facilities. This book explores the different forms and potential uses of genetic testing. Drawing together leading experts in disability law, bioethics, health law and a range of related fields, it highlights the ethical and legal challenges arising as a result of emerging and rapidly advancing genetic science. On examining transatlantic perspectives on the matter, chapters in the book ask whether the US Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) is proving to be an effective tool in addressing the issue of genetic discrimination and alleviating fears of discrimination. The book also reviews what insights may be gained from GINA within employment and health insurance contexts, and asks how the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) may impact similar debates within the European Union. The book focuses particularly on the legislative and policy framework in the European Union, with an emphasis on the gaps in protection and the scope for specific legislative action in this area. This book will be of great interest to scholars and students of discrimination law, bioethics and disability law, and will be of considerable use to legal practitioners, medical practitioners and policy-makers in this area.

Book Synopsis Governance for Health in the 21st Century by : Ilona Kickbusch
Download or read book Governance for Health in the 21st Century written by Ilona Kickbusch and published by World Health Organization. This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A range of collaborative governance mechanisms has developed in many policy arenas in the past decade. The study on governance for health in the 21st century tracks governance innovations that have been introduced to address priority determinants of health and summarizes them as five strategic approaches to smart governance for health. The study relates the emergence of joint action of the health sector and non-health sectors, of public and private actors and of citizens to achieve seminal changes in 21st-century societies. They include a new understanding of health and well-being as key features of what constitutes a successful society and vibrant economy and the higher value placed on equity and participation. The study further describes the type of structures and mechanisms that enable collaboration and outlines the new role that health ministers and ministries and public health agencies need to adopt in such a challenging policy environment.
Book Synopsis Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development by : María Jesús Monteagudo
Download or read book Leisure experiences, opportunities and contributions to human development written by María Jesús Monteagudo and published by Universidad de Deusto. This book was released on 2018-04-14 with total page 181 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The new human development paradigm rests on the human and cultural capital of peoples and revolves around the challenge of increasing the well-being and happiness of people. Therefore, leisure understood in today’s societies as one of the key means to feel good, satisfied with life and reaffirmed in the pursuit of a meaning for life, seems to be ultimately called to play a key role in promoting human development processes. The contents of this book are a good proof of it. Each chapter focuses on a different approach, discipline or group and highlights the potential of leisure experiences for human development. This book is an invitation to reflection and thought on issues that, far from being irrelevant, have a bearing on people's future, in terms of happiness, well-being and quality of life. It is everyone’s responsibility to ensure that future leisure develops under the guidelines of a leisure that contributes to human development.

Book Synopsis Determinants of Health: Theory, Understanding, Portrayal, Policy by : Matthew J. Commers
Download or read book Determinants of Health: Theory, Understanding, Portrayal, Policy written by Matthew J. Commers and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2002-07-31 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For decades, health professionals have asserted the importance of public participation in interventions for health. Medicine has pursued patient participation in clinical decision-making. In the public health realm, target groups have been asked to assist in the design and implementation of initiatives for health. In practice, however, patients and populations expect health professionals to give advice and - in some cases - to make decisions on their behalf. This implies limits to the ideal of participation. In this innovative work, the author contrasts public and professional understandings of health and the best ways to achieve health. The result is a model of lay participation in the structuring of medical and public health activity. The book is unique due to its policy-applicable, quantitative studies and its theoretical analysis of works by René Dubos and Aaron Antonovsky. It will be of value to professionals in health promotion, health education, medical anthropology, and social epidemiology.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Download or read book Disability and Human Rights written by Edurne García Iriarte and published by Red Globe Press. This book was released on 2015-10-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Experienced by more than one billion people worldwide, disability is increasingly recognised as a human rights issue internationally. Completely up to date, Disability and Human Rights draws on cutting edge international research and real life examples to explore the global dimension of disability and to critically review progress on the implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. This book provides readers with an in-depth exploration of disability across key areas of hu-man rights, including health, education, employment, accessibility and independent living. It demonstrates how these issues are integral to achieving full and equal participation of disa-bled people in human societies across the life cycle. The book analyses the impact of poverty, the importance of support and the relevance of culture and it maps out how to make disability rights a reality in the coming decades. Chapters are enriched with a wide range of international case examples and questions for reflection to deepen readers' understanding of the material. Students and practitioners from a wide range of backgrounds, including disability studies, human rights, social work and social care will benefit from this much-needed new global perspective on disability.
Book Synopsis Plan de sexualidad responsable para personas con discapacidad intelectual by : Belén Gutiérrez Bermejo
Download or read book Plan de sexualidad responsable para personas con discapacidad intelectual written by Belén Gutiérrez Bermejo and published by EDITORIAL SANZ Y TORRES S.L.. This book was released on with total page 193 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La salud sexual, la seguridad en las relaciones y una vida social e íntima plena y significativa son derechos reconocidos para las personas con discapacidad, incorporados en la Convención de los Derechos de las personas con discapacidad. En particular, los Estados Partes están obligados a asegurar que todos los derechos de las personas con discapacidad se mantengan en todos los asuntos relacionados con el matrimonio, la familia, la paternidad y las relaciones de pareja y que se les aseguren los estándares más elevados de salud, sin discriminación, incluida la salud sexual y reproductiva (Organización de las Naciones Unidas, 2006). Si bien, existe una conciencia creciente acerca de estos derechos, se ha logrado un progreso muy limitado en el apoyo a estas personas para crear y mantener relaciones íntimas y personales (Karellou, 2017). Cuando los jóvenes con discapacidad intelectual comienzan a explorar su sexualidad se enfrentan a una serie de desafíos y obstáculos para acceder a la información y al apoyo. A diferencia de la mayoría de sus compañeros sin discapacidad, estos jóvenes se enfrentan al desafío de desarrollar su sexualidad y sus relaciones dentro de una vida social y privada muy limitada y regulada (Frawley, 2016). Como consecuencia, sus conocimientos sobre estos temas son también escasos (Burns y Davies, 2011). Pese a reconocerse que la sexualidad es una parte integral de la vida adulta de cualquier persona, dicha parte resulta inaccesible o es negada a las personas con discapacidad intelectual (Noonan y Gómez, 2011). Las oportunidades que tienen estas personas para expresar su sexualidad son escasas y se encuentran controladas por otros, ya sean profesionales o familiares (Wilkinson, Theodore yRaczka, 2015). No se les proporcionan oportunidades para que tengan experiencias sexuales y no se les ofrece privacidad (Healy, McGuire, Evans y Carley, 2009; Evans, McGuire, Healy y Carley, 2009; Lesseliers, 1999). Tampoco se permite a las parejas estar solas o se les imponen restricciones (Lesseliers, 1999; Lofgren-Martenson, 2011). Los profesionales de los centros apenas hablan sobre la sexualidad con los usuarios (Abbott y Howarth, 2007) o cuando lo hacen, es de forma reactiva (Abbott y Burns, 2007; Schaafsma, Kok, Stoffelen, Van Doorn y Curfs, 2014). Debido a sus circunstancias, muchos adultos con discapacidad intelectual viven en residencias, pisos tutelados o con sus familias. Estas formas de vida suponen la presencia continua de un adulto y como consecuencia suponen una falta absoluta de privacidad. Las personas no eligen con quien quieren vivir, ni sus rutinas, ni sus actividades diarias; a veces, ni siquiera eligen la ropa que se ponen diariamente (Brown y Brown, 2009; Lippold y Burns, 2009). Las necesidades sexuales de hombres y mujeres que requieren apoyos se obvian; no existe una preocupación por que establezcan relaciones de amistad y de pareja, ignorándose tanto su sexualidad como su necesidad de privacidad (McCarthy, 1996). Las actitudes de los cuidadores influyen directamente en las actitudes y experiencias de las personas con discapacidad intelectual y entran muchas veces en conflicto con los deseos sexuales de estas personas y con sus derechos a vidas sexuales (Cuskell y Bryde, 2004; Healy, McGuire, Evans y Carley, 2009). Los servicios para personas con discapacidad intelectual suelen carecer de políticas que apoyen las experiencias sexuales en esta población. Así también, los profesionales carecen de formación respecto a la sexualidad y al desarrollo sexual satisfactorio de las personas a quienes atienden diariamente (Davies, 2000). Las actuaciones del personal se limitan a evitar que se produzcan relaciones sexuales en los entornos donde se desenvuelven, actuando a veces como «policías» y censores de cualquier manifestación sexual por parte de las personas con discapacidad intelectual. A pesar de todas estas barreras, las personas con discapacidad intelectual buscan la manera de tener sexo y de expresar su orientación e identidad sexual, debiendo hacer frente a prejuicios, falta de información y de apoyos (Abbott y Burns, 2007; Eastgate y Lennox, 2003, Cambridge y Mellan, 2000; Löfgren-Mårtenson, 2009; McCann, Lee y Brown, 2016; Stoffelen, Kok, Hospers y Curfs, 2013; Thompson, Bryson yde Castell, 2001). Incluso, en numerosas ocasiones, las actuaciones de los profesionales y del propio sistema que ofrece alternativas residenciales, o vestuarios y aseos en los centros de día o de trabajo sólo para hombres o sólo para mujeres, favorecen el desarrollo de un mayor número de relaciones con personas del mismo sexo, debido a una mayor facilidad de acceso. Las respuestas ante situaciones en las que personas con discapacidad intelectual son encontradas manteniendo relaciones sexuales en los centros (de trabajo, residenciales, etc.), son también insatisfactorias (Abbott y Burns, 2007; McConkey y Ryan, 2001). Las personas con discapacidad intelectual tienen una información muy limitada sobre la manera de comportarse sexualmente y sus modelos presentan importantes sesgos (Aylott, 1999; Cuskelly y Gilmore, 2007; McConkey y Ryan, 2001 y Yool, Langdon y Garner, 2003). Una gran cantidad de ellos aprenden los roles sexuales a través de la pornografía. Sin embargo, la presencia de conductas sexualmente inapropiadas se interpreta como problemas y no como la expresión de una necesidad, de información, de contacto o de relación sexual, no satisfecha (Noonan y Gómez, 2011). La masturbación es la única expresión sexual que se permite a los hombres con discapacidad, destinándose las intervenciones a que aprendan a hacerlo en un lugar privado (Gill, 2012). Si bien el tema de las relaciones sexuales supone una gran preocupación para profesionales y padres (Cuskelly y Bryde, 2004) y las actuaciones que se ponen en marcha persiguen proteger a las personas con discapacidad intelectual de abusos, de enfermedades de trasmisión sexual o de embarazos, es cierto que se les está negando un derecho, un deseo y una necesidad que sienten al igual que las personas sin discapacidad. A esta preocupación se une que no existen acuerdos ni directrices claras sobre las relaciones sexuales de esta población. También son muy escasos los programas preventivos o de intervención que trabajen sobre aspectos más allá de los programas sobre sexualidad basados en una perspectiva biológica y médica. En dichos programas se enseñan aspectos como la denominación de los aparatos genitales femenino y masculino, la utilización de preservativos y otros métodos anticonceptivos y las enfermedades de trasmisión sexual (Rojas, Haya y Lázaro-Visa, 2014; Löfgren-Mårtenson, 2011). Aunque estos programas son muy necesarios, no son suficientes. Salvo escasas excepciones, existe una gran carencia de programas que vayan más allá de estos aspectos funcionales y trabajen otros conceptos que sirvan para prevenir el abuso en esta población (Chivers y Mathieson, 2000; Frawley, 2016; Gardiner y Braddon, 2009). Reconocemos que es un reto encontrar un equilibrio entre proporcionar a la persona la supervisión protectora necesaria para que no sea víctima de abusos y permitirle al mismo tiempo disfrutar de sus derechos y libertades. La necesidad de protección del abuso en las personas con discapacidad intelectual no se puede basar en la negación a un derecho fundamental: el derecho a vivir su sexualidad. Ambos aspectos van de la mano. Es la información y formación sobre aspectos relacionados con una sexualidad sana lo que les enseñará a discriminar situaciones de abuso y a decir que no ante situaciones a las que quieran negarse. En definitiva, con una educación adecuada y unos buenos apoyos,las personas con discapacidad intelectual son capaces de una expresión sexual segura y constructiva y de unas relaciones sanas (Eastgate, 2008). El problema al respecto es que hay una muy limitada evidencia científica sobre qué métodos son efectivos para enseñar educación sexual a las personas con discapacidad intelectual (Schaafsma, Kok, Stoffelen y Curfs (2015). Con respecto a lo que se necesita enseñar, la literatura muestra que las personas con discapacidad intelectual experimentan una serie de problemas en su salud sexual. Estos problemas no son necesariamente diferentes de los de las personas sin tal discapacidad, pero el grado en que los experimentan es mucho mayor. Uno de los principales problemas que se han investigado es el abuso sexual. Las personas con discapacidad intelectual reportan experiencias de abuso sexual tres veces más a menudo que sus iguales sin discapacidad (Eastgate, van Driel,Lennox y Scheermeyer, 2011; McCarthy,1996;Stoffelen, Kok, Hospers y Curfs, 2013 y Yacouby Hall,2009). Además, experimentan más dificultades para encontrar, formar y mantener las relaciones que tanto desean (McCarthy,1996 y Abbott y Burns,2007). Estos problemas se han encontrado asociados a déficits en conocimientos sobre la sexualidad (Healy, McGuire, Evans y Carley, 2009; Kelly, Crowley y Hamilton, 2009; Leutary Mihokovic, 2007; McCarthy, 2009; Murphy y O’Callaghan, 2004; Siebelink, de Jong, Taal yRoelvink, 2006) y una falta general de habilidades sociales, de comportamiento y de toma de decisiones (Egemo-Helm, Miltenberger, Knudson, Finstrom, Jostad y Johnson,2007; Hayashi, Arakida, Ohashi, 2011; Khemka, Hickson y Reynolds, 2005). Pero ante la pregunta de qué es lo que debe incluir esta educación sexual integral, no existen programas desarrollados que lo especifiquen y trabajen directamente. Desde nuestro punto de vista, un programa debe vertebrarse en torno a los principios que garantizan unas relaciones sexuales consentidas y que son aplicables a toda persona con discapacidad intelectual, con independencia de la severidad de ésta. Dichos principios parten de la propuesta originariamente desarrollada por Ames y Samowitz (1995) quienes apelan a la voluntariedad, no explotación, seguridad, no abuso, capacidad para decir «no» y adecuación social al momento y al contexto (Lyden, 2007). Es decir, en el presente programa abordamos el consentimiento desde un sentido etimológico y no jurídico o, si se quiere, desde una perspectiva más social, que es a su vez más acorde con los derechos que emanan de la Convención de los Derechos de las personas con discapacidad (Organización de las Naciones Unidas, 2006). Dejamos a un lado la normativa legal que regula la capacidad o que establece los pasos para dictaminar la incapacitación de una persona, aspectos también complejos (Orell, 1998; Cea y Fisher, 2003; Krynski, Tymchuk y Ouslander, 1994), pero alejados de la perspectiva social y educativa aquí propuesta. Así pues y a partir de las premisas de los autores previamente indicados, en este programa acentuamos la importancia de garantizar, en toda relación sexual, el cumplimiento de los criterios señalados y que son desarrollados en mayor profundidad a lo largo de estas páginas.

Book Synopsis Understanding Global Sexualities by : Peter Aggleton
Download or read book Understanding Global Sexualities written by Peter Aggleton and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2012-07-26 with total page 282 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over the course of the past thirty years, there has been an explosion of work on sexuality, both conceptually and methodologically. From a relatively limited, specialist field, the study of sexuality has expanded across a wide range of social sciences. Yet as the field has grown, it has become apparent that a number of leading edge critical issues remain. This theory-building book explores some of the areas in which there is major and continuing debate, for example, about the relationship between sexuality and gender; about the nature and status of heterosexuality; about hetero- and homo-normativity; about the influence and intersection of class, race, age and other factors in sexual trajectories, identities and lifestyles; and about how best to understand the new forms of sexuality that are emerging in both rich world and developing world contexts. With contributions from leading and new scholars and activists from across the globe, this book highlights tensions or ‘flash-points’ in contemporary debate, and offers some innovative ways forward in terms of thinking about sexuality – both theoretically and with respect to policy and programme development. An extended essay by Henrietta Moore introduces the volume, and an afterword by Jeffrey Weeks offers pointers for the future. The contributors bring together a range of experiences and a variety of disciplinary perspectives in engaging with three key themes of sexual subjectivity and global transformations, sexualities in practice, and advancing new thinking on sexuality in policy and programmatic contexts. It is of interest to students, researchers and activists in sexuality, sexual health and gender studies, especially those working from public health, sociological and anthropological perspectives.
