Most people have some dissatisfaction or concern about body weight, fatness, or obesity, either personally or professionally. This book shows how the popular understanding of obesity is often at odds with scientific understandings, and how misunderstandings about people with obesity can further contribute to the problem. It describes, in an approachable way, interconnected debates about obesity in public policy, medicine and public health, and how media and social media engage people in everyday life in those debates. In chapters considering body fat and fatness, genetics, metabolism, food and eating, inequality, blame and stigma, and physical activity, this book brings separate domains of obesity research into the field of complexity. By doing so, it aids navigation through the minefield of misunderstandings about body weight, fatness, and obesity that exist today, after decades of mostly failed policies and interventions--Publisher's description.

Talent identification. A concept dating back to Greek philosophers, now as it was then, is about the ability to identify talent in different contexts. The ability to identify talent has become increasingly popular over the past few years. It has long been considered a crucial parameter for success in sport, but has spread to different contexts such as education, business, and culture. Until recently, research on talent identification (particularly in sports) has been predominantly concerned with finding a recipe for identifying talent in formal circumstances, such as talent testing. However, talent identification is much more than that. Rather, talent identification should be seen as something everyone practices to some extent. Every day. All the time. This book provides an insight into talent identification and puts forward new ways of understanding and approaching talent identification.

This book represents a multidisciplinary and international vision across different countries in Europe that are facing similar challenges about ageing and quality of life in present cities. It is divided in three main topics from the global context of health in cities and reduction of health inequities to the current research of different study cases, focusing on residential models and the relationship with the built environment. The third chapter illustrates best practices with some study cases from different cities in Europe. Friendlier environments for older people come together with the need of innovation, smart and updated technologies, healthier environments and mitigation of climate change.  Health re-appears nowadays as one of the priorities for urban planning and design, not only for the communicable diseases and the effect of the pandemics, but also for the non-communicable diseases, that were also triggering the wellbeing and equity of our cities. Indeed, the Covid-19 pandemic has highlighted health inequities and vulnerabilities of those areas of the city that were already deprived and facing other health problems, such as obesity, diabetes, social isolation, respiratory problems or mental health issues, specifically applying for vulnerable groups. Older adults have been one of the most affected groups from the pandemic's threats and derived consequences. In this context, the care crisis arises intertwined with the design and planning of our cities, where there is an urgent need to regenerate our environments with a perspective of sustainability, inclusion, and health prevention and promotion. From the global urban challenges to the specific contextualisation of each city and study cases, each chapter offers an updated insight of the main questions that we should consider to address urban planning and design from the perspective of ageing and social inclusion in European cities.

This book draws on the author's ten years of participatory work to examine core themes of (mis)representation, re-presentation, and resistance within place-health research and practice. The book includes practice- and research-based projects with implications and applications for practitioners (e.g. local health department epidemiologists) and academics, introducing readers to an array of new and mixed-methods within place-health research. It also introduces new conceptual and analytical place-health frameworks that more explicitly account for power-both within place making, unmaking, and remaking processes, and within the (re)production of place-health knowledges. Across six chapters, the author reports and reflects on a selection of research projects, raising key considerations in regard to place-health (mis)representation, and highlighting the value of participatory methods and processes in re-presenting-and decolonizing-spatial narratives of health. This includes an emphasis on the integration of community-based participatory research (CBPR) principles with the technological and procedural affordances of information and communication technologies (ICTs). With each chapter drawing from CBPR, decolonizing, social epidemiology, health geography, Black feminist, and critical theory orientations, the book offers an integrated call and framing for a critical examination of how geographies of "e;place"e; and health-and narratives/stories therein-are constructed, and perhaps might be de/re-constructed through inclusive and equitable research practices that center community and offer a mode of resistance for the production of place-health counternarratives. The book is intended for academic researchers and practitioners in public health and health geography fields, particularly those whose work engages social epidemiology, urban planning, and aspects of community development, and will also appeal to researchers and practitioners who use participatory, community-inclusive methods and processes in their work, especially as related to community mapping.

¿Die auftretenden Varianten von SARS-CoV-2 beschleunigen durch ihre höheren Übertragungsraten die globale COVID-19-Pandemie, wodurch dringend neue therapeutische Angriffsziele benötigt werden. Hierbei wurde die antivirale Wirkung von Fluoxetin - einem Antidepressivum - gegen SARS-CoV-2 entdeckt. Mithilfe biochemischer und bildgebenden Methoden wurde der antivirale Wirkmechanismus von Fluoxetin näher analysiert und die saure Ceramidase als SARS-CoV-2 Wirtsfaktor charakterisiert. Veröffentlichte Studien zeigten, dass auch Aspirin eine antivirale Wirkung gegen Erkältungsviren, wie Rhinoviren und Influenzaviren zeigt. Diese antivirale Wirkung wurde in Bezug auf SARS-CoV-2 in Zellkultur und einem patienten-nahen 3D-Infektionsmodell untersucht und bestätigt. Um die Pathologie einer SARS-CoV-2-Infektion zu verstehen, wurde der Eintrittsweg des Virus in das Gehirn untersucht. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Viren überwindet SARS-CoV-2 die Blut-Hirnschranke ohne T-Zellen oder Makrophagen. Ebenso wurdeder Einbau eines lipophilen Fluoreszenzfarbstoffs in die Virusmembran etabliert, womit die direkte Markierung verschiedener Viren trotz ihrer unterschiedlicher Membranzusammensetzung möglich ist. Mit superauflösender Mikroskopie (SIM) wurde der virale Eintritt verschiedener umhüllter Viren visualisiert.

Die Corona-Pandemie hat gezeigt, dass die Gefahr, sich selbst und andere mit einem bedrohlichen Virus anzustecken, zu einer Vielzahl sozialer Dilemma-Situationen im Alltag führt. Das vorliegende Buch geht der sozialpsychologischen Frage nach, wie Menschen das Risiko einer Covid-19-Infektion in konkreten Dilemma-Situationen für sich selbst und für eine andere Person einschätzen. Dabei wird der Fokus auf die Differenz zwischen der selbst- und fremdbezogen Risikowahrnehmung sowie zwischen der selbstbezogenen Risikowahrnehmung und der objektiven Risikobeurteilung mittels eines Algorithmus gelegt. Diese Differenz wird in der Risikoforschung als unrealistischer Optimismus/Pessimismus bezeichnet. Neben der Beleuchtung des aktuellen Forschungsstands wird die Risikowahrnehmung und das Auftreten des unrealistischen Optimismus/Pessimismus im Rahmen einer Querschnittsstudie anhand von drei fiktiven, aber realitätsnahen Dilemma-Szenarien aus dem Corona-Kontext untersucht und diskutiert.

The book reviews and reports the recent progress and knowledge on the specific impact of current and projected urban overheating as well as of the urban mitigation technologies on mortality and morbidity and urban vulnerability. It presents recent data and developments on the topic reported by some of the more distinguished researchers in this area. In parallel, it discusses new findings related to the characteristics and the magnitude of urban overheating and reports and analyzes the recent knowledge on the synergies between urban heat island and heatwaves. This book helps to advance our understanding on the interaction between Urban Heat Island (UHI) and overheating as well as their impact on energy demand and public health globally. Exploring the interaction between UHI and energy consumption requires the understanding on the dynamics of UHI intensity and air pollution index in different land use and how such interactions may vary in different cities in the world.  Moreover, this book focuses on different cities in Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Cyprus, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Asia, Spain, UK, and USA.

Hauptkommissar Fokko Wattfedder hofft auf ruhige letzte Monate vor seiner anstehenden Pensionierung im kleinen norddeutschen Bundesland Freie Havenstadt. Wattfedders Entspannungsprogramm würde voll aufgehen, wäre da nicht die nervenzehrende Corona-Krise. Der Mord an der impfbegeisterten Präsidentin der Havenstädter Ärztekammer reißt den Hauptkommissar gänzlich aus seinen ruhigen Tagen. Die prominente Ärztin wird tot aufgefunden und weist zudem drei Injektionsnadeln im Schulterbereich auf. Die Indizien sprechen für einen Täter aus dem Bereich der Havenstädter Impfgegner. Wattfedder muss sich bei seinen Ermittlungen immer wieder einer Landesregierung erwehren, die sich massiv in seine Arbeit einmischt. Unterstützung erfährt er von der an seiner Seite ermittelnden jungen Oberkommissarin Paula Dombusch-Maoate, die gedanklich schnell und körperlich absolut fit ist. Zwei Eigenschaften, die Wattfedder nach einem weiteren Mordfall das Leben retten. Bis die beiden ungleichen Kollegen die Fälle aber lösen, erleben sie hautnah moralische Abgründe des Karrierismus in der Medizin und die Polarisierung der Havenstädter Gesellschaft in der Corona-Pandemie, in der mit harten Bandagen und allen Tricks für eine vermeintliche wissenschaftliche Wahrheit gefochten wird.Eine Wahrheit, die tatsächlich mehrdeutig ist!

Wir leben in einer Zeit, in der bewährte Denkweisen der Universitätsmedizin zerbröseln. Was heute zählt und von den Kassen bezahlt wird, sind definierbare Krankheiten, Therapien, die Symptome unterdrücken. Das ärztliche Denken, die ärztliche Kunst, ist dem Gewinnstreben zum Opfer gefallen. Schauen wir fast 5000 Jahre zurück und halten uns einen Dialog zwischen dem legendären Kaiser Hoang Ti und seinen Leibärzten aus dem Nei King vor Augen:Überragende Ärzte verhindern Krankheit, mittelmäßige heilen noch nicht ausgebrochene Krankheiten, unbedeutende Ärzte behandeln bereits bestehende Krankheiten.Dieser Dialog beschreibt den Kern des Arztseins, die Essenz des ärztlichen Handelns. Haben wir den Wert dieses Denkens vergessen? Geht es nur noch um die Evidenz, die Offensichtlichkeit?Die funktionelle Medizin ist auf dem Weg zurück zu der Basis ärztlichen Handelns. Sie erkennt die Hintergründe von Funktionsstörungen und zeigt Möglichkeiten zur Wiederherstellung und Normalisierung der Regulation unserer Lebensfunktionen. Dieses Buch weist den Weg.
