Tal discurso, fundamentado a partir da construção social do pânico moral e da histeria social, é protagonizado fundamentalmente pela mídia e pelo poder público, a partir da manutenção de notícias diárias que envolvem o tema do crack, assim como de campanhas calcadas na perspectiva de horror e sofri

Abstract:

This thesis dissertation deals with the mathematical modeling of childhood obesity from a social epidemic point of view for the Spanish region of Valencia. Three mathematical models based on systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations of first order were constructed. The first one is constructed for simulating childhood obesity for the 3-5 years old population. For this model a nonstandard scheme based on the techniquesn developed by Ronald Mickens is constructed. This model is simulated with real data and the results show an increasing trend of obesity for the next years. The second

Abstract:

Epidemics have a substantial impact on society, and the suppression through various interventions is crucial for public health. There is a long tradition of using quantitative epidemic models to deepen the understanding of interdependent epidemic and intervention dynamics. However, modelling complex human responses to intervention adoption, while relating the individual decision-making to the overall compliance behaviour, remains a challenge. In general, the intervention adoption is strongly affected by social connectivity that varies across the affected population, and in turn is affected by

Epidemics are a constant threat, able to bring the entire world to a halt in the case of extreme outbreaks. Computational epidemiology seeks to understand the spread of disease at a population rather than individual level. In this understanding, the field hopes to predict the spread of disease by either simulating microscopic interactions giving rise to infection, or by using mean-field models to emulate the average resultant epidemic spread. This knowledge can be used to predict the future spread of disease and create specific intervention strategies which exploit our understanding of disease

Mathematical models of disease spreading are a key factor of ensuring that we are prepared to deal with the next epidemic. They allow us to predict how an infection will spread throughout a population, thereby allowing us to make intelligent choices when attempting to contain the disease. Whether due to a lack of empirical data, a lack of computational power, a lack of biological understanding, or some combination thereof, traditional models must make sweeping assumptions about the behavior of a population during an epidemic.

Abstract:

The dynamics of many aspects of social behaviour, such as spread of fads and fashion, collective action, group decision-making, homophily and disagreement, have been captured by mathematical models. The power of these models is that they can provide novel insight into the emergent dynamics of groups, e.g. 'epidemics' of memes, tipping points for collective action, wisdom of crowds and leadership by small numbers of individuals, segregation and polarisation. A current weakness in the scientific models is their sheer number. 'New' models are continually 'discovered' by physicists, engineers and

Abstract:

From the early 1990s, rates of HIV infection increased dramatically in South Africa and by the early 2000s, AIDS emerged as the main cause of death for adult South Africans. During the first half of the 2000s, the South African government’s response to this crisis was inadequate, marked by denial and delays in implementing prevention and treatment, resulting in thousands of preventable deaths. Yet, apart from the challenges posed by the predominantly urban-based Treatment Action Campaign (TAC), the absence of a social response to this crisis is notable, especially in rural settings.

Abstract:

The spread of diseases and opinions has profoundly affected the development of human societies. The structure of the underlying social network may change as a result of individuals changing their social connections in response to an ongoing epidemic or opinion spreading, either for self protection or as an expression of personal values. The interaction of spreading processes and the underlying network structure has been a focus of many recent studies. In this dissertation, we construct models to better incorporate heterogeneous responses to disease spread and attempted opinion spread.;We first

Abstract:

This study used an explorative quantitative survey method for the purpose of examining bullying among older adults in retirement homes and the consequences of bullying among this population. The study also explored the type of bullying that occurs in the community. Senior community centers were the significant domains in which to research bullying among older adults because it involved immersion of the researcher into an environment of older adults who knew one another and have witnessed or have been victims of bullying in their retirement home communities.

Social problems emerge when a behaviour, individual, or group is collectively defined as problematic. Online child solicitation is explored as a behaviour that has been defined as a social problem.

In addition, the definitions, examples, and estimates they use to construct the problem are explored.

Abstract:

A great virtue of our fairly liberal society is its willingness to allow, legally and socially, individuals to choose their own lifestyle, free from interference or coercion. For this reason, there is rightly a strong resistance and hostility to government regulation of wholly self-regarding behavior – acts which only affect the actor. Whether justified by an appeal to sovereignty or utility, that which one does to oneself is seen as beyond the jurisdiction of government. Yet the problem of the so-called obesity "epidemic" – the explosion in the prevalence of overweight and obesity in recent d

Abstract:

This thesis explores the relationship between law and society and various forms of causality: (1) legal change leading to social change; (2) social change leading to legal change; and (3) the interdependent interaction between social change and legal change. It is proposed that a multi-directional approach would be the most useful in examining the moral boundaries exemplified in the law identified with legal and social changes that have resulted in response to the AIDS epidemic.

A lack of adequately built environments can negatively affect obesity rates among adolescents.

E a doença voltaria a se manifestar em 1890, colocando na pauta do dia antigas discussões. Mesmo considerando que as epidemias que se abateram em Campinas foram realmente de febre amarela, as discórdias entre os médicos evidenciavam o quanto alguns aspectos da doença ainda eram desconhecidos da comunidade médica; essas desavenças sugerem também que

For this purpose, a concept of “social contagion” is taken as a basis for a social behaviour analysis. It has been subsequently applied to the marketing context. Psycho-emotiona

Abstract:

This study of 449 newspaper articles from South Africa from 1997 provides an analysis of the representations of obesity evinced in the corpus. The research argues that obesity is overwhelmingly framed as being diseased and that there are four main refrains within this frame, namely, statistics on obesity, the naturalisation of negative assumptions about fat, the social dysfunction of fat and the use of crisis metaphors to describe fatness. This framing lends itself to representations of obesity which are raced, gendered and classed. Fat bodies are portrayed as being in deficit and fat people a
