Book excerpt: La vida es un proceso en desarrollo continuo, que debe conocerse; ya que comprender los cambios que van ocurriendo a través de los años, es importante para garantizar una mayor calidad de vida en cada momento. Es un ciclo, donde se definen varias etapas: nacimiento, niñez, juventud, madurez, vejez y muerte. En las primeras etapas, donde se disfruta de buena salud generalmente; no es tan necesario conocer estos cambios fisiológicos, como en la vejez. El envejecimiento es reconocido como un proceso natural e inevitable. Todo ser vivo envejece; por tanto, este proceso no se puede analizar como si fuera una enfermedad, sino simplemente como una etapa de la vida que se debe aprender a vivir y disfrutar al máximo. El envejecimiento puede ser definido, como los cambios fisiológicos que ocurren en un organismo a través del tiempo.Cuidar la salud física y emocional, resultan vitales en esta etapa de la vida. Es muy importante el entorno social en que se desarrolla el adulto mayor, que necesita gozar de independencia, autorrealización, participación, dignidad y cuidados. Las personas mayores de sesenta años, constituyen un grupo cada vez más numeroso y estas cifras continúan ascendiendo cada año. Los avances tecnológicos en el campo de la medicina, el desarrollo de nuevos medicamentos, los conocimientos avanzados en materia nutricional y el incremento de la calidad de vida, contribuyen a este fenómeno. Múltiples son los trastornos que acompañan al adulto mayor en esta etapa. El objetivo de este libro, es contribuir a mejorar la salud física a través de la práctica de ejercicios simples y seguros; pero necesarios para mantener la elasticidad, un adecuado tono muscular, una mejor circulación sanguínea y linfática, además de un buen estado de ánimo. Espero que este modesto esfuerzo contribuya a este propósito.

Book excerpt: Este libro selecciona aquellos temas y cuestiones principales que definen el estado actual de la psicología del envejecimiento y la vejez. Su objetivo es ser una herramienta docente útil, tanto para los estudiantes de psicología o de disciplinas afines que se acercan por primera ver a un conocimiento especializado sobre este tema, como para los profesores que buscan un manual completo, actualizado y que disponga instrumentos para trabajar los temas tratados en el aula y fuera del aula. Por otra parte, los profesionales que trabajan con personas mayores también pueden encontrar en su lectura algunas claves para comprender a las personas mayores y optimizar el diseño de ciertas intervenciones. Se plantea desde una perspectiva evolutiva y, por tanto, se intenta establecer vínculos entre la vejez y lo que sucede en momentos anteriores de la vida y, especialmente, los cambios que experimenta la persona en las últimas décadas de la vida, evitando considerar la vejez como una etapa homogénea y estable. Por otro lado, se considera a la vejez desde una perspectiva relativamente optimista, en la que el crecimiento, la ganancia o el mantenimiento son procesos que pueden coexistir e incluso superar en muchos momentos a las pérdidas con las que tradicionalmente se ha identificado esta etapa de la vida.

Book Synopsis Ageing, Physical Activity and Health by : Karin Volkwein-Caplan
Download or read book Ageing, Physical Activity and Health written by Karin Volkwein-Caplan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-04-09 with total page 320 pages. 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.

Download or read book Population Aging and the Generational Economy written by Ronald Demos Lee and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 617 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'While there already exists a crowded body of publications addressing the effect of an aging population on the economy, this monograph is most outstanding in presenting a global, in-depth analysis of the implications thereby generated for 23 developed and developing countries. . . Scholars, researchers, and practitioners everywhere will benefit immensely from this comprehensive work.' – H.I. Liebling, Choice 'Ron Lee and Andrew Mason's Population Aging and the Generational Economy is a demographic and economic tour-de-force. Their collaborative, intercontinental. . . study of aging, consumption, labor supply, saving, and private and public transfers is the place to go to understand global aging and its myriad and significant economic challenges and opportunities.' – Laurence Kotlikoff, Boston University, US 'The culmination of. . . work by Lee, Mason, and their collaborators from around the world to extend Samuelson's framework to accommodate realistic demography, empirical measurement of age-specific earnings, consumption, tax payments, and benefit receipts, the studies. . . demonstrate the power of this integrated economic-demographic framework to advance our understanding of critical public policy challenges faced by countries at different stages of demographic transition and population aging.' – Robert Willis, University of Michigan, US 'Lee and Mason have done scholars and practitioners a magnificent service by undertaking this comprehensive, compelling, and supremely innovative examination of the economic consequences of changes in population age structure. The book is a bona fide crystal ball. It will be a MUST READ for the next decade!' – David Bloom, Harvard School of Public Health, US 'Population Aging and the Generational Economy provides an encompassing account of what we know about population aging and the impact that this process will have on our economies. It does not confine itself to the advanced industrial countries, where aging has already been largely studied, but adopts a truly global perspective. I am sure it will become a key reference for researchers, students and those involved in policy-making in areas that are affected by population aging.' – Giuliano Bonoli, Swiss Graduate School of Public Administration (IDHEAP), Switzerland Over coming decades, changes in population age structure will have profound implications for the macroeconomy, influencing economic growth, generational equity, human capital, saving and investment, and the sustainability of public and private transfer systems. How the future unfolds will depend on key actors in the generational economy: governments, families, financial institutions, and others. This path-breaking book provides a comprehensive analysis of the macroeconomic effects of changes in population age structure across the globe. The result of a substantial seven-year research project involving over 50 economists and demographers from Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, and the United States, the book draws on a new and comprehensive conceptual framework – National Transfer Accounts – to quantify the economic lifecycle and economic flows across generations. It presents comprehensive estimates of both public and private economic flows between generations, and emphasizes the global nature of changes in population age structure that are affecting rich and poor countries alike. This unique and informative book will prove an invaluable reference tool for a wide-ranging audience encompassing students, researchers, and academics in fields such as demography, aging, public finance, economic development, macroeconomics, gerontology, and national income accounting; for policy-makers and advisers focusing on areas of the public sector such as education, health, pensions, other social security programs, tax policy, and public debt; and for policy analysts at international agencies such as the World Bank, the IMF, and the UN.
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 180 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.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Formal pension systems are an important means of reducing poverty among the aged. In recent years, however, pension reform has become a pressing matter, as demographic aging, poor administration, early retirement, and unaffordable benefits have strained pension balances and overall public finances. Pension systems have become a source of macroeconomic instability, a constraint to economic growth, and an ineffective and/or inequitable provider of retirement income."

Book Synopsis Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018 by : United Nations
Download or read book Foreign Direct Investment in Latin America and the Caribbean 2018 written by United Nations and published by . This book was released on 2019-01-30 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication sets out and analyses the main foreign direct investment (FDI) trends in the countries of Latin America and the Caribbean. In 2017, certain trends that had already emerged in the global economic landscape became more established. In particular, announcements of potential restrictions on trade and pressures to relocate production to developed countries were confirmed. At the same time, China has taken steps to restrict outflows of foreign direct investment (FDI) in order to align these flows with its strategic plan. Adding to these factors is the expansion of digital technologies, whose international expansion requires smaller investments in tangible assets. Firms in these areas are heavily concentrated in the United States and China, which reduces the need for cross-border mergers and acquisitions.

Book Synopsis A History of Western Astrology by : S. J. Tester
Download or read book A History of Western Astrology written by S. J. Tester and published by Boydell & Brewer Ltd. This book was released on 1987 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Superb general account.' Times Literary Supplement The story of the history of Western astrology begins with the philosophers of Greece in the 5th century BC. To the magic and stargazing of Egypt the Greeks added numerology, geometryand rational thought. The philosophy of Plato and later of the Stoics made astrology respectable, and by the time Ptolemy wrote his textbook the Tetrabiblos, in the second century AD, the main lines of astrological practice as it is known today had already been laid down. In future centuries astrology shifted to Islam only to return to the West in medieval times where it flourished until the shift of ideas during the Renaissance.
