Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide a commentary on new information from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) on deaths caused by volatile substance abuse (VSA) in Great Britain which occurred between 2001 and 2016. Design/methodology/approach Comparing the new study with previous mortality data, the authors consider the strengths and some limitations of the analysis provided by ONS. Findings By utilising a broader range of codes and collating additional information from death certificates, the new report provides a more comprehensive measure of VSA mortality than was previousl

Abstract:

Purpose Elder abuse is the matter of grave concern in recent times in India. Today, older people are facing the abusive behaviour such as maltreatment, mental and physical torture and heedless ignominy from the family and the society. The purpose of this paper is to examine the nature of elder abuse in Indian socio-cultural context and also focuses on the causes of elder abuse and abusers. Design/methodology/approach Mixed method design has been applied in this paper.

On December 19, 2011, the UN General Assembly decided to celebrate June 15 as the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. This decision was made in order to promote a caring and respectful attitude towards people of advanced age. Quite often, older people need outside help, because they frequently have to deal with difficult living conditions alone, may be subject to age discrimination in employment, or become victims of swindlers and simply unscrupulous people. For elderly people, not only the fact of physical assistance and the provision of conditions for normal life is extremely important, but als

Abstract:

Falls are common in late life. Evidence from New Zealand, the United States and Great Britain suggest that about a third of people aged over 65 will fall each year, a proportion that rises to about half for the community-dwelling population older than 85 years. Falls are the leading cause of death from injury in older people. Although many falls do not cause serious injury, nor precipitate referral to the health services for 30–50% of fallers, those that do have major consequences. From a purely financial perspective, acute care of those with falls is estimated to cost $10 billion per annum in

Multinomial logistic regression analyses showed that, in each country and for both types of help, there were SES gradients in the utilisation of both formal and informal care, and that differences in age, health and marital status largely accounted for the former

Abstract:

AbstractThe number of older adults incarcerated in prisons is growing significantly, and there is a great need for legal authority, processes, and resources to mitigate individual and social burdens of elder neglect and abuse within these settings. Older adults in prison may be particularly vulnerable to abuse, neglect, or exploitation. They are dependent on the carceral system for basic resources, are at risk for retaliatory actions for reporting mistreatment, and bear disproportionately high health burdens. This essay first considers standards and resources for mitigating elder mistreatment

Loneliness is consistently presumed to be a specific ‘social problem’, which accompanies old age and growing older. Ninety per cent of the general population of Britain feel that loneliness is particularly a problem associated with old age. Data concerning the prevalence of loneliness amongst the population aged 65 and over are provided from a quantitative survey of 999 people across Great Britain using a special module commissioned from the ONS Omnibus survey. The overall self‐reported prevalence of loneliness shows little change in the post‐war period and challenges the stereotype that the p

AbstractIn late 1912 and early 1913, people all over Britain reported seeing airships in the night sky, yet there were none. It was widely assumed that these “phantom airships” were German Zeppelins, testing British defenses in preparation for the next war. The public and press responses to the phantom airship sightings provide a glimpse of the way that aerial warfare was understood before it was ever experienced in Britain. Conservative newspapers and patriotic leagues used the sightings to argue for a massive expansion of Britain's aerial forces, which were perceived to be completely outclas

Abstract:

The article deals with the issue of suicides of the elderly, and the aim of the analysis has been reduced to two questions: what are the risk factors for suicides of the elderly? and what are the possibilities for preventing the suicidal behavior of seniors? The desk research method was used and 40 articles from countries such as South Korea, China, Taiwan, the United States, Canada, Ghana, New Zealand, Iran, Israel, Romania, Greece, Great Britain, Germany, Austria, Poland, and Spain were analyzed. Research indicates that the most common risk factors are mental disorders (mainly depression), p

Abstract:

Charles Wesley is one of the most prominent figures in the history of Methodism, arguably second only in the popular imagination to his older brother, John. In large part, this is due to Charles’s prolific achievements as a hymn writer. A significant number of his hymns, albeit a small proportion of the estimated nine thousand he wrote, have been widely and continuously sung in worship by Methodists and other Christians in Great Britain and beyond since the eighteenth century. Charles’s hymn texts were written to be sung, whether by the early followers of Methodism in the small group meetings

Abstract:

The need to protect the rights and legitimate interests of entities affected by anti-competitive actions, to compensate for the losses caused to them, as well as to suppress illegal behavior in relation to a wide range of people, requires states to search for various measures to counteract such abuse by companies of their market power. One possible measure is class action, which is currently used in the US and UK as an effective mechanism to protect businesses and consumers from anti-competitive behavior. Taking into account the fact that the procedure of group proceedings has been developed i

Abstract:

Before okaying any plan that attempts to increase access to health care while harnessing costs, congress ought to re-examine the government-funded End-State Renal Disease program. It shows that per-treatment costs can be controlled by setting limits on what providers are paid, but controlling the volume is vastly more complex... A program that initially served 11,000 people today serves 165,000 and is expected to soon have 300 000 beneficiaries... First year costs were $229 million and reached $1 billion by 1977. In 1991, the program cost $6.6 billion. Even so, efforts by Medicare, which admin

Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to document the impact of major policy changes and reductions in government funding on residential provision for people with intellectual disabilities (ID) in Ireland. Design/methodology/approach Ireland is unique in having a national database of people in receipt of services from specialist ID providers. Information on persons in residential settings from 2005 to 2016 was examined in terms of changes in the types of provision over time and broken down by age groups.

Abstract:

Inverse associations between whole-grain food consumption and risk of CVD, some cancers and type 2 diabetes have been reported. However, there are few reports of whole-grain intake, particularly among young people. The objective of the present study was to estimate whole-grain intake in a nationally representative sample of young people aged 4–18 years living in Great Britain. Whole-grain intake was estimated using 7d weighed dietary records from 1583 young people who participated in the cross-sectional National Diet and Nutrition Survey in 1997. Whole-grain intake was quantified from the cons

Abstract:

The article considers the current conditions in which such anti-corruption bodies as the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, and the Supreme Anti-Corruption Court of Ukraine have to operate. Based on the opinions of scientists and experts, it has been established that anti-corruption bodies now face the following challenges: constant pressure from the authorities, irresponsibility of the majority of people's deputies, which makes it very difficult for these bodies to work; most citizens of our state perceive corruption as a r

Abstract:

Food deserts and swamps have previously been mostly studied in Anglo-Saxon countries such as the USA and Great Britain. This research is one of the first studies to map food deserts and swamps in a mainland European, densely populated but heavily fragmented region such as Flanders. The evolution of food deserts and swamps between 2008 and 2020 was assessed. Special focus was given to areas where high numbers of elderly, young people and/or families with low income live. Food deserts were calculated based on supermarket access within 1000 m and bus stop availability, while food swamps were calc

All economic entities require protection. The problem of insufficient protection of Russian employees and employers is particularly relevant. The employee is protected from dismissal and bullying, first of all, by his/her usefulness to the employer and competitiveness on the labour market. The security of the employee is enhanced by such components of his human capital as education, skill, work experience, reputation, potential of mobility, etc. Formal institutions called to protect employees in Russia are not sufficiently effective.

Therefore, users who get acquainted with information conspiracies do not doubt and believe in them. The sample was presented by the Russian university students and middle-aged working people.

In October 1957, writer Françoise Giroud called the generation of French people born during and shortly after World War II the “new wave.” The paradoxical feature of this generation, characteristic not only of young Frenchmen, but also of their peers from Great Britain and other Western countries, was the combination of its evasion of any definitions and at the same time absolute recognition. This “form without form,” called by Roland Barthes the “mana word,” was perceived by many older contemporaries as a completely special “spirit of youth,” fraught with an intergenerational gap and the esta

Abstract:

Since the publication of the American Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders version 5 in 2013, there has been a wave of critical protest, especially in Britain and especially amongst psychologists. My aim is not to rehearse the mostly sensible criticisms, but to ask what should we be doing about the situation. Should we not be able to find a useful classificatory procedure that helps both professionals and patients to understand both diagnosis and recovery in the same terms? Only when we can do this will the current system be superseded – improve it or live with it. After all,
