Dabei werden diverse regelungsbedu¿rftige Problemfelder (z.B. Bedarfsermittlung, Sprachmittlung, Leistungsgewährung bzw. Leistungszugang mit oder ohne elektronische Gesundheitskarte, Rolle der Zivilgesellschaft etc.) auf der Bundes-, der Bundesländer- und der Kommunalebene sowie der Ebene der Zivilgesellschaft in den Blick genommen.

Drawing on the author's participation in high-level policy discussions, this book presents three key issues in UK illicit drug policy - medical cannabis, drug-related deaths and the government's 10-year drug strategy --

Providing a new perspective on female identity, this book offers a complete insight into the world of eating disorders in today's society, exposing how new forms of freedom for women have also become new forms of self-surveillance.

Research on the relationship between health and the environment in a postgenomic context is increasingly aimed at understanding the various exposures as a whole, simultaneously taking into account data pertaining to the biology of organisms and the physical and social environment. Exposome research is a paradigmatic case of this new trend in environmental health studies. This book takes a multidisciplinary approach focusing on the conceptual, epistemological, and sociological reflections in the latest research on environmental and social determinants of health and disease. It offers a combination of theoretical and practical approaches and the authors are scholars from a multidisciplinary background (epidemiology, geography, philosophy of medicine and biology, sociology). Crucially, the book balances the benefit and cost of the integration of biological and social factors when modelling aetiology of disease.

Psychische Erkrankungen sind eine gesamtgesellschaftliche Herausforderung mit vielen Facetten und müssen als solche auch interdisziplinär betrachtet werden. Der vorliegende Sammelband setzt genau hier an und hat das Ziel, ein differenziertes Bild über die Bedeutung psychischer Erkrankungen und den gesellschaftlichen Umgang mit ihnen zu zeichnen. Die vielfältigen Fragen, die sich dabei stellen, werden durch Vertreter*innen aus den Gesundheits-, Sozial- und Geisteswissenschaften erörtert. Dies beinhaltet theoretische sowie praktische Perspektiven mit historischen, aktuellen und zukunftsperspektivischen Schwerpunkten, die sich insgesamt dem Ziel widmen, aktuelle Herausforderungen aufzuzeigen und einen Beitrag zur Verbesserung der psychischen Gesundheitsversorgung in den Bereichen der Krankheitsbehandlung, Prävention und Gesundheitsförderung zu leisten.

In Masking the Truth: How COVID-19 Destroyed Civil Liberties and Shut Down the World, best-selling author Donald Jeffries thoroughly documents what he calls "The Greatest Psyop in the History of the World." From padding the stats for "COVID" deaths that were from other causes, to admitting the COVID-19 strain has never been isolated, to covering up the massive numbers of deaths and injuries from the "Warp Speed" vaccine, Jeffries shows how we have been lied to repeatedly about every aspect of the COVID narrative, from the very beginning."Don Jeffries is one of the most important and original social commentators writing today. He is always ahead of the curve and always fearless. Never miss an argument from this writer of integrity and insight." - New York Times Best-Selling author Naomi Wolf "One of the reasons I have appreciated my friend Don Jeffries over the past three-years, so much, is that his analysis of the plandemic, from the left, was like my own and I didn't feel so alone. We need books like this to provide us a clear, and factual record of what can never happen again: the gross violation of public health, civil and human rights with the slash and burn policies of the global self-proclaimed elite." - Cindy Sheehan, Peace and Social Justice Advocate"As a cast member of a television show that exemplifies much of the American dream, I am increasingly aware that this dream is under attack. From the presentation of a lifestyle that is no longer attainable by the middle class to the forbidden depiction of a nuclear family with two parents where neither of them is an idiot. Jeffries' book represents the point of view that is much like many Americans, myself included. For those of us, who have learned not to trust the government and the mainstream media it controls, this pandemic just never passed the smell test. The information presented in this book represents something as forbidden as the nuclear family: DISCUSSION."- Susan Olsen, Actress (The Brady Bunch) and radio host

"The Emory University sociologist who coined the term languishing-low-grade mental weariness that affects our self-esteem, relationships, and motivation-explores the rise of this phenomenon and presents a comprehensive guide to flourishing in a world that demands too much. If you're muddling through the day in a fog, often forgetting why you walked into a room . . . If you feel emotionally flattened, lacking the energy to socialize or feel joy in the small things . . . If you feel an inner void-like something is missing, but you aren't sure what . . . Then this book is for you. Languishing-the state of mental weariness that erodes our self-esteem, motivation, and sense of meaning-can be easy to brush off as the new normal, especially since indifference is one of its symptoms. It's not a synonym for depression and its attendant state of prolonged sadness. Languishers are more likely to feel out of control of their lives, uncertain about what they want from the future, and paralyzed when faced with decisions. Left unchecked, languishing not only impedes our daily functioning but is a gateway to serious mental illness and early mortality. Emory University sociologist Corey Keyes has spent his career studying the causes and costs of languishing-the neglected middle child of mental health. Now Keyes has written the first definitive book on the subject, examining the subtle complexities of languishing before deftly diagnosing the larger forces behind its rise: the false promises of the self-help industrial complex, a global moment of intense fear and loss, and a failing healthcare system focused on treating rather than preventing illness. Ultimately, Keyes presents a groundbreaking approach to breaking the cycles keeping us stuck and finding a path to true flourishing. Unlike self-improvement systems offering quick-fix mood boosts, his framework focuses on functioning well: taking simple but powerful steps to hold our emotions loosely, becoming more accepting of ourselves and others, and carving out daily moments for the activities that create cycles of meaning, connection, and personal growth. Languishing is a must-read for anyone tempted to downplay feelings of demotivation and emptiness as they struggle to haul themselves through the day, and for those eager to build a higher tolerance for adversity and the pressures of modern life. We can expand our vocabulary-and, with it, our potential to flourish"--

"Crisis has a way of laying bare our truest selves: who we trust, which principles and impulses we heed, whose lives we deem expendable. As it ravaged millions of lives, the COVID-19 pandemic revealed and accentuated the dividing lines that had already, for decades, splintered American public life. Against the backdrop of the 2020 presidential election, misinformation regimes, and the transformation of the facemask into a flagrant political symbol, ... sociologist Eric Klinenberg takes careful inventory of how the U.S. and other nations handled the extraordinary challenges of that seminal year. Any autopsy searches for causes, and in this book, Klinenberg uses seven people's ... reflections to examine how communities across the globe reckoned with the profound tragedy and loss of 2020--and how they built networks of solidarity in an attempt to survive"--

"e;Doubt is our product,"e; a cigarette executive once observed, "e;since it is the best means of competing with the 'body of fact' that exists in the minds of the general public. It is also the means of establishing a controversy."e;In this eye-opening expose, David Michaels reveals how the tobacco industry's duplicitous tactics spawned a multimillion dollar industry that is dismantling public health safeguards. Product defense consultants, he argues, have increasingly skewed the scientific literature, manufactured and magnified scientific uncertainty, and influenced policy decisions to the advantage of polluters and the manufacturers of dangerous products. To keep the public confused about the hazards posed by global warming, second-hand smoke, asbestos, lead, plastics, and many other toxic materials, industry executives have hired unscrupulous scientists and lobbyists to dispute scientific evidence about health risks. In doing so, they have not only delayed action on specific hazards, but they have constructed barriers to make it harder for lawmakers, government agencies, and courts to respond to future threats. The Orwellian strategy of dismissing research conducted by the scientific community as "e;junk science"e; and elevating science conducted by product defense specialists to "e;sound science"e; status also creates confusion about the very nature of scientific inquiry and undermines the public's confidence in science's ability to address public health and environmental concerns Such reckless practices have long existed, but Michaels argues that the Bush administration deepened the dysfunction by virtually handing over regulatory agencies to the very corporate powers whose products and behavior they are charged with overseeing. In Doubt Is Their Product Michaels proves, beyond a doubt, that our regulatory system has been broken. He offers concrete, workable suggestions for how it can be restored by taking the politics out of science and ensuring that concern for public safety, rather than private profits, guides our regulatory policy. Named one of the best Sci-Tech books of 2008 by Library Journal!

De fleste ved, at alkohol er usundt. Alligevel er det på bordet ved stort set alle sociale begivenheder i Danmark, og hvis du drister dig til at takke nej, skal du helst have en god forklaring parat. Med udgangspunkt i den internationale sober curious-bevægelse giver forfatter Katrine Quorning den danske alkoholkultur et tiltrængt kritisk eftersyn og sætter spørgsmålstegn ved, om vi absolut behøver at lamme vores hjerne ved enhver social sammenkomst. Hvorfor drikker du ikke? stiller skarpt på de permanente rødvinspletter, alkohol sætter på vores sundhed, samfund og klimaet, og så giver den desuden inspiration og konkrete råd til, hvordan man kan få et sundere og mere reflekteret forhold til alkohol.

"At a personal and professional crossroads, a man resets his life and finds sobriety, love, and 618 bird species, cycling his way to a very Big Year. In Birding Under the Influence, Dorian Anderson, a neuroscience researcher on a pressure-filled life trajectory, walks away from the world of elite institutions, research labs, and academic publishing. In doing so, he falls in love and discovers he has freed himself to embrace his lifelong passion for birding. A North American Big Year-a continent-spanning adventure in which a birder attempts to see as many species as possible in twelve months-is a massive undertaking under any circumstances. But doing it on a bike while maintaining sobriety? That's next level. As Dorian pedals across the country, describing the birds he sees, he confronts the challenges of long-distance cycling: treacherous weather, punctured tires, speeding cars, and injury. He encounters eccentric characters, blistering blacktop, dreary hotel rooms, snarling dogs, and an endless sea of smoking tailpipes. He also confronts his past struggles with alcohol, drugs, and risky behaviors that began in high school and followed him into adulthood. Birding Under the Influence is a candid, honest look at Dorian's double life of academic accomplishment and addiction. While his journey to recovery is simultaneously poignant and inspiring, it is ultimately his love of birds and nature that provides the scaffolding to build a new and radically different life"--

In diesem Open-Access-Buch wird in einem ersten Schritt theoretisch erarbeitet, weshalb Stigmatisierung ein inhärenter Bestandteil von Wohnungsnot ist, welche Konsequenzen diese konkret für die Teilhabe von Menschen in Wohnungsnot hat und weshalb die Verknüpfung mit Intersektionalität in mehrfacher Hinsicht (u. a. zur Reduktion des komplexen Phänomens Wohnungsnot) gewinnbringend ist. Basierend auf der Intersektionalen Mehrebenenanalyse von Winker und Degele wird dargelegt, wie die Multi-Methoden-Untersuchung aufgebaut ist. Im zweiten Schritt erfolgt dabei die Erläuterung der Untersuchung, welche über zwei Zugänge vier verschiedene Studien realisiert. Im Fokus stehen dabei die Öffentliche sowie strukturelle Stigmatisierung von Wohnungsnot. Die Ergebnisse bestätigen die vorab getroffenen Annahmen und liefern einen Überblick über die Stigmatisierung von Wohnungsnot.

Die vorliegende Erhebung untersucht den Einfluss von Führung auf die Kundenzufriedenheit und die Budgeteinhaltung in stationären Pflegeeinrichtungen. Dabei werden ausgewählte Einflussfaktoren wie z. B. die werteorientierte Kommunikation, die Berücksichtigung von Qualitätsmanagementsystemen sowie die Durchführung von Abweichungsanalysen u. a. in ihrer konkreten Wirkmacht analysiert und eruiert.Die Arbeit leistet einen Beitrag zur Managementforschung und somit für Diskurse über die Versorgungs- und Lebensqualität der Bewohner sowie über die Arbeitszufriedenheit in der vollstationären Pflege und über die Bedeutung von Führung in einem stark regulierten ¿Quasi-Markt¿ der vollstationären Pflege innerhalb des Dienstleistungssektors.Das Senioren-Zuhause der Zukunft erfordert wesentliche architektonische und konzeptionelle Veränderungen sowie eine vielfältige Angebotskultur inkl. einer Quartiersöffnung.Die ermutigende Botschaft bestehtin einer Bestätigung der positiven Wirkung des Konzeptes der Interaktionsarbeit mittels einer auf Werten basierenden Kommunikation und Interaktion in sozialen Gefügen.

This book presents an overview of social problems and health problems that arose out of, or were flared up by, the global COVID-19 pandemic. It addresses most vital problems in developed and developing countries from literally around the world, by top country experts in their respective fields of study. The book debates first certain overall thematic topics and then analyzes a number of key country case studies. Apart from a set of key theme/problem-based chapters, the country case studies from major-hit countries in the world are yet another highlight of the book. They also feature, in addition to analyzing the pandemic and policy responses per se, one extra special focal point each. The book hence covers the core of most severe social problems, including health problems, that have been spurred or set off by the COVID-19 pandemic. An overall theory chapter that uses a global data analysis and a short theoretical appraisal on the 'human face' of the Pandemic is also offered at the beginning of book, to bring back humanity and human decency (i.e. decency of the human condition) into the scientific debate as well as policy making arena, which is utterly needed at this point of human development.

Who Cares? presents findings on the social protection response to the COVID-19 pandemic in six Southeast Asian countries: Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, the Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam. After a regional overview, country-specific chapters narrate the pandemic's unfolding, public health measures taken to contain it, and economic impacts on different demographics and assesses the effectiveness of social welfare programs. Collectively, the research demonstrates that social protections have been a secondary concern in policy making and resource allocation. Moreover, program details disclose entrenched limitations and biases: privileges for civil servants and formal sector employees; inadequate or nonexistent allowances for the poor, informal and migrant workers, and those outside the labor market; and greater economic vulnerability among women and other marginalized groups.Ultimately, this work highlights the paradox that crises disproportionately affect the most socially deprived, yet they are the ones less socially protected. Tackling this issue demands change at the structural level--change that can only be brought about by acknowledging the socioeconomic and political values that shape societal systems.

In diesem Open-Access-Buch stehen Pflegefachpersonen im Zentrum, die zugleich pflegende Angehörige sind. Als professionell Pflegende verfügen sie über Fachwissen, pflegefachliche Kompetenzen und Kenntnisse zum Versorgungssystem. Als pflegende Angehörige sind sie persönlich betroffen. Die qualitative Studie fokussiert auf das Erleben der Doppelrolle als beruflich Pflegende und zugleich pflegende Angehörige. Sind dies ¿zwei Paar Schuhe¿?Ausgehend von einer Literaturrecherche und der Sekundäranalyse von Interviewdaten wurden episodische Interviews mit 15 Interviewpartner*innen geführt. Die Datenanalyse verdeutlicht ihre Aufgaben im Krankheitsverlauf, welche Entwicklungen sie durchlaufen und ihre Erfahrungen in der Doppelrolle. Die Studie zeigt, dass die Befragten über ein Repertoire von Handlungsoptionen verfügen, die sie im Umgang mit Fachpersonen der Gesundheitsversorgung nutzen. Die gewonnenen Erkenntnisse werden in einem Modell gebündelt, das ihre Positionierung als pflegende Angehörige und zugleich Pflegefachperson im Versorgungskontext veranschaulicht.

In health and medicine, imagining the future is essential in giving meaning to the past and the present and for propelling people into action. This is true not only at the level of individuals as they envision and carry out everyday activities and long-term plans but also for institutional practices framed by and unfolding within various socio-political ecologies and transfigurations. Hope and uncertainty are critical affective and knowledge-related modalities of such imaginations and assume vital meanings in policing, managing, and experiencing health, illness, and well-being. This volume brings together contributions from medical anthropologists who address this theme across various medical spheres, including the pragmatics of hope and uncertainty, the techno-sphere, health management, and individual and socially distributed emotions.

In Genomic Politics, Jennifer Hochschild shows how the fraught politics of genomics is unfolding in American life. She focuses on genetically modified medicines that target African Americans, DNA evidence in the criminal justice system, the ancestry craze, and genetic tests in prenatal exams. She finds that contending camps differ in how they answer two questions: How significant are genetic factors in explaining human traits and behaviors? And, what is the right balance between risk acceptance and risk avoidance? Hochschild develops solutions that can reduce the ideological heat and more closely align the use of genomics with democracy.

Vor dem Hintergrund eines vielfältigen soziokulturellen Umfeldes des Gesundheits- und Pflegewesens gewinnt die Versorgungsqualität im transkulturellen Kontext kontinuierlich an Bedeutung für die professionelle Pflegepraxis und pflegewissenschaftliche Forschung. Nicht zuletzt aufgrund der sozialpolitischen und ökonomischen Vorgaben wird in den Handlungsfeldern der pflegerischen Praxis die Sicherstellung hoher Versorgungsqualität unter Berücksichtigung der Bedürfnisse sämtlicher potenzieller Anspruchsgruppen angestrebt. Zugleich kommt in Anbetracht der knappen Ressourcen in der Altenpflege sämtlichen materiellen und immateriellen Faktoren eine wichtige Relevanz für eine optimale Erreichung qualitativer sowie wirtschaftlicher Ziele zu. Das vorliegende Buch trägt zu einem vertieften Verständnis dessen bei, welche qualitativen Merkmale, Anforderungen und Handlungsweisen einer guten Pflege im transkulturellen Kontext im Setting stationärer Altenpflege seitens Pflegebedürftiger und beruflicher Akteurinnen und Akteure zugeschrieben werden. Neben der Beantwortung pflegewissenschaftlicher Fragestellungen wird unter Bezugnahme auf betriebswirtschaftliche Zusammenhänge ein Beitrag zur empirischen Fundierung und konzeptionellen Weiterentwicklung sogenannter ¿immaterieller Werte¿ in der stationären Altenpflege geleistet.
