“Bedste havde lagt mærke til, at hendes øjne også var blevet mindre, så hun fik nye briller, men det hjalp ikke meget. Hun kunne ikke rigtigt få øje på sig selv i spejlet. Hvor er jeg mon blevet af? tænkte Bedste – og lo.” Bedste er en blomstrende smuk historie om at være så gammel, at alt bliver mindre på én (undtagen ørerne) og om det naturlige i at skulle sige farvel. Historien er skrevet af 90-årige Patricia Ryan og illustreret af hendes mangeårige (og mange år yngre) ven Anna Margrethe Kjærgaard.

Our population is aging--by 2034, the US will have more people over 65 than under 18, and older residents make up a disproportionate number of casualties from natural disasters. In Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation, community resilience and housing expert Danielle Arigoni argues that we cannot achieve true resilience until communities adopt interventions that work to meet the needs of their oldest residents. Arigoni explores how to integrate age-friendly resilience into community planning and disaster preparedness efforts through new planning approaches. These include an age-friendly process, and a planning framework dedicated to inclusive disaster recovery. Climate Resilience for an Aging Nation will help professionals and concerned citizens understand how to best plan for both the aging of our population and the climate changes underway to create communities that serve the needs of older adults better, not only during disasters but for all the days in between.

This book describes the recent advancement of basic research on the biology of aging and longevity studies in various organisms, as well as the neurobiology of aging and neurodegeneration mechanisms. Chapters present new findings and conceptual developments concerning the basic mechanisms of aging and longevity determination. As a follow-up volume to the previous book Aging Mechanisms (2015), it overviews the rapid progress of aging research introducing new topics from leading laboratories in Japan. Chapter contributors are selected based on recent scientific achievements on the mechanisms of aging in various model organisms, including yeast, worm (C. elegans), fly (Drosophila), mice, and rats. Chapters are ordered from the discussion on molecular and cellular levels to physiological and systemic levels. The book also provides an overview of aging science in the region and helps readers quickly grasp who is doing what in this research area.As the aging of population becomes an ever more pressing issue in Asia, advancing the understanding of basic mechanisms of organism aging and longevity determination will be crucial to developing more effective therapies and protective strategies. Researchers and graduate students in biomedical aging research will find this as a rich source of information and a stimulus to novel research directions.

Global mobility is one of the crucial phenomena of our time. Combining the theoretical frameworks of masculinity studies and age studies, the contributors to this volume examine the intersection of cultural exchange, gender and age, exploring ageing masculinities with reference to the key concepts of relationality, kinship and care. The essays analyze transcultural experiences of ageing men from Europe, relationships including the Indian diaspora in the US, Chinese father images in the US-American context and Black British queer kinship, drawing its examples also from Brazilian society and African European contexts.

Cognitive health in the elderly is vital, of course, it is key to psychological well-being; it is also fragile and can decline with age. Normal cognitive decline in the elderly can result in memory lapses, forgetfulness, and an increase in the time it takes to learn or recall information. This decline in mental acuity, whilst expected, can in some instances also lead to mild cognitive impairment (MCI), the stage in cognitive decline prior to more serious neurologic disorders or dementia. Helping an elderly loved one stay mentally active may lessen cognitive decline and the risk of progression. Thinkwich is a book of thirty, specially arranged question lists designed for a family to use, to stimulate deeper thinking and mental activity on the part of an elderly relative. Questions about the senior's past are sandwiched between light general questions, or those involving memory or logic. Allowing your elderly relative to engage in reminiscence about specific events in days gone by, while also actively using the thinking and recall skills needed for daily life. (*To get an idea.. please find an extract below. )Of course, the very act of using the book with the relative concerned also helps in terms of sociability, another key area of mental health; it provides a good opportunity for those involved to engage and interact in a meaningful way. If thinkwich can make even a small difference in the cognitive health of someone you care about, then we've accomplished our goal. So with that, it's over to you. Please note: This book is not suitable for use in situations involving serious cognitive decline or dementia. *Extract from first question list: (The questions are asked by the family, face-to-face or via a video call/ regular call):TW1 (H=Hint/ A= Answer)Try to memorize this card sequence (You'll be asked again at the end of the quiz!): 7 Hearts, 4 Hearts, 7 Diamonds (repeat x2)Can you recall a comedy show you used to watch way back when?If so, can you remember the names of any of the stars involved?If water is 5 and tea is 3 what is coffee?

In early April 2021, I was having a conversation with my son Ryan about his friend's business in domain names. On a whim, Ryan said, "Watch this, Dad!" and purchased the domain name ronaldhogrefe.com for me as a present. Having never read a blog and looking for a learning opportunity, I started experimenting with writing a few blog posts. With an upcoming month-long trip, I decided that this would offer an opportunity to practice and, in the process, learn something new.When my wife Cheryl saw what I was doing, she asked me to chronicle our almost thirty-year journey through Alzheimer's. As I began to write and post blogs of the trip, it became apparent that I had a love of writing and an audience for our story. I soon developed a large following, and the blog almost took on a life of its own.The blog has morphed into much more than I ever dreamed. From the comments and feedback received on many posts, it became apparent that I need to try and turn this into a book. Many people battling this disease and being caregivers for them need to know they are not alone. So sit back and follow along as I try to bring to you this story of our journey with Alzheimer's and the love story it has become.

Master's Thesis from the year 2022 in the subject Sociology - Old Age, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Ansbach, language: English, abstract: The focus of this work is hereby on the images that influencers above the age of 60 (in the following also called as ¿older¿ or ¿elderly¿ as well as ¿older generations¿) share on social media in both private and professional contexts. The aim here is to find out whether Granfluencers eliminate existing age stereotypes or reinforce them. The knowledge gained from this research can serve as a foundation for digital marketing strategies in cooperations that would like to diversify their campaigns in the future. In order to be able to answer this question, the current state of research was presented in the second chapter. In this section, stereotypes, especially age stereotypes, gender stereotypes, gendered ageism, and the portrayal of older people in the media were discussed. In this context, gender and age studies were also discussed, followed by a closer look at Granfluencers. These were first defined, then the origins of these were described, and in the last step, the importance of Granfluencers for digital marketing was discussed.The third chapter deals with the actual analysis, which was executed to look at the expression of age and gender stereotypes of Granfluencers in detail. For this purpose, the aim of the analysis, the research questions, and the methodological implementation were first presented. In a second step, the object of investigation was defined in detail based on the theory of content analysis by Rössler. Afterwards, validity and reliability were defined and documented in the context of the master thesis. The third section deals with the presentation of the results and lastly the results were evaluated in this chapter. The conclusion summarizes the thesis and mentions the limitations as well as the implications for future research.

This book, Design for Sustainable Inclusion, was inspired and informed by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. These include, among others, ¿good health and well-being¿, ¿reduced inequalities¿ and ¿sustainable cities and communities¿. Addressing this challenge requires a cross-disciplinary approach and close collaboration with many stakeholders. The Cambridge Workshop on Universal Access and Assistive Technology (CWUAAT) 2023 invited participants from a wide variety of disciplines to contribute to the discussion on this topic.This book represents the papers presented at this conference, chosen by peer review by an international panel of currently active researchers. The chapters within the book provide a unique insight into current national and international research in the fields of inclusive design, universal access, and assistive and rehabilitative technology. The main sections of the book reflect the following key themes:¿ Understanding people¿ Designing for an ageing population¿ Inclusive built environments¿ Healthcare¿ Assistive technology¿ Design methods¿ Education and trainingWe hope that this book will be useful to researchers, teachers, students and the general public who are interested in inclusive design and sustainable development.

This volume provides an in-depth analysis of historical and recent developments of senior learning in Taiwan, where publications in English have been scant. It takes a broader view on lifelong learning and active ageing from a theoretical/conceptual base written by prominent international authors- this represents the 'outside in' perspective. The 'inside out' on the other hand signifies an in-depth investigation of initiatives written by authors from Taiwan who are closely involved with developments in policy and practice.The volume is situated theoretically in the intersection of complementary concepts such as lifelong learning, active ageing, later life learning, learning communities and social movements. It is located geographically and culturally in East Asia where senior learning/education is expanding in response to large populations of older adults and concerns about their physical and social well-being. It is argued that Taiwan is leading the way in terms of innovation and community engagement in regard to older adult learning/education and can thus serve as a model for neighboring countries. By analyzing historical precedents, cultural dynamics, policy trends, research sub-fields and community engagement this book is of interest to both East Asian and Western scholars, practitioners, policy-makers and students amongst the fields of lifelong learning, social gerontology and educational psychology.

This handbook integrates and discusses a growing evidence base concerning individual development across middle and late adulthood. The book includes a comprehensive analysis of what growth implies within midlife and older age and considers how different developmental areas are intertwined (i.e., physical, cognitive, social and emotional development as well as personality growth). As the gap between theory and practice still constitutes an issue in developmental research, the handbook also aims to provide illustrative examples of prevention and intervention from a positive psychology perspective. These were selected to represent a variety of topics, relevant for individual development where research informs practice, ranging from happiness, grandparenthood, love and sexuality to loneliness, depression, anxiety, suicide prevention and coping with death. This handbook is a must-have resource for students and researchers working in developmental psychology, health psychology, gerontology and, public health. It will also be of interest to practitioners such as counsellors, life coaches, psychotherapists, organizational psychologists, health professionals, social workers or public health planners.

"Mothercare represents an investigation of the question of duty, or conscience, what we owe or want to provide to the people in our lives. . . For a reader, there’s something bracing about Tillman’s honesty, which transforms “Mothercare” from a record or a logbook into a work of art." —David Ulin, Los Angeles TimesFrom the brilliantly original novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman comes MOTHERCARE, an honest and beautifully written account of a sudden, drastically changed relationship to one’s mother, and of the time and labor spent navigating the American healthcare system.When a mother’s unusual health condition, normal pressure hydrocephalus, renders her entirely dependent on you, your sisters, caregivers, and companions, the unthinkable becomes daily life. In MOTHERCARE, Tillman describes doing what seems impossible: handling her mother as if she were a child and coping with a longtime ambivalence toward her.In Tillman’s celebrated style and as a “rich noticer of strange things” (Colm Tóibín), she describes, without flinching, the unexpected, heartbreaking, and anxious eleven years of caring for a sick parent.MOTHERCARE is both a cautionary tale and sympathetic guidance for anyone who suddenly becomes a caregiver. This story may be helpful, informative, consoling, or upsetting, but it never fails to underscore how impossible it is to get the job done completely right.
