Abstract:

The monograph reflects the results of a comparative political science study of new increasing models of voter turnout and the abolition of qualifying characteristics of the participation of certain groups of the population in elections in Russia and abroad in the framework of solving the problem of low voter turnout. The use of qualification characteristics and the reduction of restrictive voter turnout models make it possible to increase the number of voters in elections and prevent a decrease in voter turnout. In 2020 they have become even more actively used in elections of all types. The most popular of them are postal voting, remote electronic voting, multi-day voting, and lowering the age of voters. However, in Russia, the abolition of the voting qualification for people with mental problems, foreigners, convicts is not considered as an opportunity to increase voter turnout in elections. The solution to the problem of low voter turnout is expressed in the confidence of the population in the current political and legal institution of elections, and on the part of the state - in the ordering of ways to strengthen it. For a wide range of readers interested in increasing voter turnout. It can be useful for students, postgraduates and teachers of political science universities and faculties.

Abstract:

Elderly persons are not often thought of as being associated with criminal activity. Among the elderly for both genders, however, the percentage of persons arrested in the United States for violent crimes increased significantly from 1995 to 2013, this increase being due to more aggravated assault arrests. Epidemiological studies on antisocial personality disorder and FBI crime statistics provide an understanding of sociopathy and directed aggression in the geriatric population. This chapter addresses the risk factors for violent behavior among elderly persons and provides U.S. crime data for persons age 65 and older, presented by type of crime and by gender and race of perpetrators. The act of homicide among elderly persons is given particular attention. The chapter also discusses the role of dementia in crimes committed by elderly persons, as a sizable proportion of persons with dementia take part in criminal activity, particularly theft, although rates differ according to type of neurocognitive disorder.

Abstract:

Climate change and direct, local impacts are reducing the ability of reefs to support rich ecosystems, including those of people dependent upon them. Reef adaptation has been suggested as being possible, but is unlikely to be sufficient to ensure their survival after a few decades. Human population increase is remorseless and with it comes increasing demand on reef resources. Protected area management and better management of key species holds promise as one method for ensuring reef survival, as does a need to obtain proper ecosystem values of reefs and their species and of the cost incurred in their loss. Reefs are connected in terms of larval and species flows, so broadscale management of networks of marine protected areas is also needed to ensure the survival of reefs, as is a more intelligent selection of areas for protection, favouring those which show greatest resilience and ability to recover from impacts.

Abstract:

This chapter sets out how inequality and real incomes across the distribution evolved in the Netherlands from the late 1970s through the economic Crisis. Inequality grew, though not dramatically, while wages showed remarkably little real increase. This meant that real income increases for households relied for the most part on the growth in female labour-force participation and in dual-income couples. The chapter highlights the major changes in population and household structures that underpinned the observed changes in household incomes at different points in the distribution. It also sets out key features of the institutional structures in the labour market and broader welfare state, and the centrality of the priority given to wage moderation and the maintenance of competitiveness in the growth model adopted throughout the period.

Abstract:

Structural and functional changes in the aging lung and body predispose the older patient to pulmonary diseases such as asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and chronic dyspnea. Pulmonary diseases of the aging population have a negative impact on morbidity and mortality and quality of life and increase the burden on health care costs. Pharmacological treatment remains the standard of care, but polypharmacy in the older patients can be an issue and has been associated with negative consequences. Integrative or nonpharmacological approaches can be used in conjunction with conventional therapy and can decrease dependence on pharmacological drugs. Integrative approaches include nutrition, breathing exercises, yoga, acupuncture, use of botanicals and supplements, tai chi, and mind–body therapy. This chapter examines the evidence for integrative or nonpharmacological approaches and provides recommendations for their use in pulmonary diseases of older adults.

Abstract:

Since the 1960s, breakthroughs in agriculture have made it possible to satisfy the world's increasing requirements for food. Can this trend continue over the next thirty years when the world population is projected to exceed eight billion? This book takes a critical look at the immediate challenges for feeding the population just a generation from now. Based on the 10th International Symposium sponsored by the Nutrition Committee and the Trustees of the Rank Prize Funds, the volume examines the full range of related issues, from food economics to resource allocation and crop yields. Beginning with an analysis of future food needs, the articles cover basic resources and constraints, applications of science to increase yield, the role of animal products in feeding eight billion people, and diverse social issues. The book provides insights into some of the most important questions we will be faced with in the coming years, making it an invaluable resource for a wide range of researchers in agriculture, the environment, and public policy.

Abstract:

In social animals, perturbations may trigger specific behavioural responses with consequences for dispersal and complex population dynamics. Perturbations raise the need for information gathering in order to reduce uncertainty and increase resilience. Updated information is then shared within the group and social behaviours emerge as a self-organized process. This social information factoralizes with the size of the group, and it is finally used for making crucial decisions about, for instance, when to leave the patch and where to go. Indeed, evolution has favoured philopatry over dispersal, and this trade-off is challenged by perturbations. When perturbations accumulate over time, they may decrease the suitability of the patch and erode the philopatric state until crossing a tipping point, beyond which most individuals decide to disperse to better areas. Initially, the decision to disperse is led by a few individuals, and this decision is copied by the rest of the group in an autocatalytic way. This feedback process of social copying is termed runaway dispersal. Furthermore, social copying enhances the evolution of cultural and technological innovation, which may cause additional nonlinearities for population dynamics. Social information gathering and social copying have also occurred in human evolution, especially after perturbations such as climate extremes and warfare. In summary, social feedback processes cause nonlinear population dynamics including hysteresis and critical transitions (from philopatry to patch collapses and invasions), which emerge from the collective behaviour of large ensembles of individuals.

Full text

Abstract:

This chapter analyses the impact of political economy factors on the production of bioenergy. The authors theoretically and empirically show that the quality of governance and environmental policy stringency instruments promote the development of bioenergy production. The authors also find that the factors that favour oil production and renewable energy negatively influence the development of bioenergy, whereas the conditions of production (cereal yield) and demand factors (gross domestic product, population density, and urbanization) tend to favour the production of bioenergy. Bioenergies are not a magic solution but can contribute to the fight against global warming and poverty in developing countries. Therefore national efforts should be made to attract more investors in this area, including: (i) energy policies, research and innovation to reduce production costs, (iv) promoting the development of the application, and (v) providing a basis for learning more about the development of viable and sustainable bioenergy models.

Abstract:

The global burden of cancer is expected to increase from 14.1 million newly diagnosed cases and 8.2 million cancer deaths in 2012 to 22 million cases and 13 million deaths in 2030. This increase, based on projected population aging and growth, will disproportionately affect low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where large numbers of young adults are now surviving to older ages where cancer becomes common. The incidence of cancers traditionally associated with Western behavioral, environmental, and cultural factors (breast, colorectum, lung, and prostate) are increasing in LMICs, whereas cancers caused at least partly by infectious agents (stomach, liver, uterine cervix) are decreasing. Population-based cancer registries (PBCRs) are central to cancer surveillance and control. These registries now cover over 95% of the population in North America, but less than 10% of the populations of South America and Africa.

Abstract:

Inbreeding is reduced and genetic diversity enhanced when a small isolated inbred population is crossed to another unrelated population. Crossing can have beneficial or harmful effects on fitness, but beneficial effects predominate, and the risks of harmful ones (outbreeding depression) can be predicted and avoided. For crosses with a low risk of outbreeding depression, there are large and consistent benefits on fitness that persist across generations in outbreeding species. Benefits are greater in species that naturally outbreed than those that inbreed, and increase with the difference in inbreeding coefficient between crossed and inbred populations in mothers and zygotes. However, benefits are similar across invertebrates, vertebrates and plants. There are also important benefits for evolutionary potential of crossing between populations.

Abstract:

With the aging population and new anticoagulant medications, such as direct oral anticoagulants, being marketed in the United States, it is very important for pain physicians to be aware of the anticoagulants available and how they affect the safety of interventional pain procedures. In addition to anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications, other medications commonly used in the chronic pain population may put patients at increased risk of bleeding complications. Certain patient characteristics, particularly in the chronic pain population, may also increase a patient’s risk of bleeding. The chapter reviews common and emerging anticoagulant and antiplatelet medications and the ideal holding time before or after interventional pain procedures, particularly in the spine. The chapter also discusses the diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes of spinal epidural hematomas.

Abstract:

The number of people addicted to prescription and illicit opioids continues to increase, and many of these patients present to the hospital or pain center with acute pain issues. The matter is further complicated by the increasing number of patients with legitimately painful conditions treated with chronic opioid therapy. Typically, these patients are difficult to manage during any acute pain episode due to their opioid tolerance and opioid-induced hyperalgesia. This difficulty often leads to inadequate pain management, increased suffering, and delayed hospital discharge. Increased awareness is needed among pain management physicians and other clinicians who care for opioid-tolerant patients, yet there is a lack of evidence-based medicine regarding the optimal treatment of this population.

Abstract:

No two system leaders were identical in their claims to being the most innovative states in their respective zones, eras, and periods of leadership. Nonetheless, three general categories emerge: maritime commercial leadership, a pushing of agrarian boundaries, and sustained industrial economic growth. Those that made breakthroughs in the latter category, of course, redefined the modern world. Frontiers were critically important in all four cases of system leadership (China, the Netherlands, Britain, and the United States), but not exactly in the same way. Major improvements in transportation/communication facilitated economic growth by making interactions more feasible and less expensive, although the importance of trade varied considerably. Expanding populations were a hallmark of all four cases, even if the scale of increase varied. Population growth and urbanization forced agriculture to become more efficient and provided labor for nonagricultural pursuits. Urban demands stimulated regional specialization, technological innovation, and energy intensification, expanding the size of domestic markets and contributing to scalar increases in production. Just how large those scalar increases were depended on the interactions among technological innovation, power-driven machinery, and energy transition. Yet no single change led automatically to technological leadership. While lead status was never gained by default, it helped to have few rivals. As more serious rivals emerged, technological leaderships became harder to maintain.

Abstract:

The U.S. census revealed that, in 2010, the “older population,” age 65 and older, represented 13% of the population (40.2 million people). The percentage will increase with time and will be 19.3% (72.1 million people) by 2030 and 20.2% (88.5 million people) by 2050, largely due to the aging baby boomer generation. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention showed that 14% of the general population age 60 had a BMI ≥ 35, with the higher-risk groups of Hispanic and non-Hispanic black communities reaching 16.7% and 20.1%, respectively. It is recognized that elderly obese patients present with a higher frequency of comorbidities than their younger counterparts, most likely related to the duration of their disease. Although initial studies demonstrated an increased risk in elderly patients, bariatric surgery has since been demonstrated to be a safe and efficient treatment option, as long as older patients undergo complete medical optimization prior to undergoing surgery.

Full text

Abstract:

The harmful impacts of inbreeding are generally greater in species that naturally outbreed compared to those in inbreeding species, greater in stressful than benign environments, greater for fitness than peripheral traits, and greater for total fitness compared to its individual components. Inbreeding reduces survival and reproduction (i.e., it causes inbreeding depression), and thereby increases the risk of extinction. Inbreeding depression is due to increased homozygosity for harmful alleles and at loci exhibiting heterozygote advantage. Natural selection may remove (purge) the alleles that cause inbreeding depression, especially following inbreeding or population bottlenecks, but it has limited effects in small populations and usually does not completely eliminate inbreeding depression. Inbreeding depression is nearly universal in sexually reproducing organisms that are diploid or have higher ploidies.

Abstract:

Psychological disturbances occur throughout Type1 diabetes, from diagnosis to the experience of late tissue complications. Serious life events may precipitate diabetes onset. All parents of newly diagnosed children report stress. Poor glycaemic control is associated with suboptimal school performance, but children do not consider their own quality of life to be poor. Depression during adolescence is no more common than in the background population. Single parenthood and minority ethnicity are associated with worse glycaemic outcomes. Poor glycaemia associated with poor family functioning can be helped by family-based interventions. Eating disorders are not more frequent in diabetes, but disordered eating and insulin omission are prevalent, the last associated with increased mortality. Depression is common, often severe, undiagnosed, and associated with maternal depression. Non-pharmacological treatment is more effective than antidepressants. Diabetic complications increase the risk of depression 2- to 3-fold, and all depressive disorders may increase mortality in people with foot ulceration.

Abstract:

Most species now have fragmented distributions, often with adverse genetic consequences. The genetic impacts of population fragmentation depend critically upon gene flow among fragments and their effective sizes. Fragmentation with cessation of gene flow is highly harmful in the long term, leading to greater inbreeding, increased loss of genetic diversity, decreased likelihood of evolutionary adaptation and elevated extinction risk, when compared to a single population of the same total size. The consequences of fragmentation with limited gene flow typically lie between those for a large population with random mating and isolated population fragments with no gene flow.

Abstract:

While classical quantitative genetics usually assumes that all genotypes have the same environmental variance (the assumption of homoscedasticity), in reality, genotypes can show heteroscedasticity in the environmental variance. When such variation is heritable (i.e., has an additive variance in an outbred population), then the environmental variance can change under selection. This can either be due to an indirect response (such as during directional selection on a trait), or through direct selection to increase the homogeneity of a trait (such as for increased uniformity during harvesting). This chapter reviews the existing data on the heritability of the environmental variance and examines several different genetic models for predicting its response.

Full text

Abstract:

The author explores the associations between alcohol and drug use and crime. First, general theoretical models of the substance use–crime connection, including substance use causing crime, crime leading to substance use, and a common cause model, are presented. Next, the empirical research that examines situational and global associations between substance use and crime is reviewed, and this research is tied to the explanatory models. The review indicates that the substance-using/crime-committing population is heterogeneous and there are multiple paths that lead to substance use and crime. For some individuals, acute intoxication increases the risks of violent crime; for some, the need for expensive and addictive drugs increases the risks for income-generating crime; for some, exposure to drug cultures and the drug market increases all types of crime, especially violent crime; for some, the criminal lifestyle increases substance use; and, finally, for others, common underlying characteristics (e.g., family, personality, genetics, neighborhoods) increase the risks for both substance use and crime. The author concludes with a discussion of implications for treatment and prevention and suggestions for future research.

Abstract:

In caring for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), there are several important treatment considerations. Since many patients with SLE are female and of childbearing potential, it is important to address conception planning, contraceptive options, and the maternal and fetal risks associated with pregnancy, which are increased when there is higher SLE disease activity. It is also pertinent to address medication safety issues throughout pregnancy and lactation, as some commonly used medications can increase risks of adverse pregnancy outcomes. Additionally, patients with SLE are at higher risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD) than the general population. Therefore, these patients must undergo aggressive risk factor modification. Patients with SLE are also at increased risk for osteoporosis, and bone health is an important treatment consideration. Routine cancer screening and vaccinations are also important elements of the comprehensive treatment of the patient with SLE.

Abstract:

The exponential population growth rate is increasingly straining the supply of food and resources. Meat is a key component in the diet of many global cultures. The increase in demand for meat has shifted production from small farms and ranches to large corporate livestock production facilities. The complexity of the livestock industry and production processes has increased the need to manage the financial risk associated with raising the various types of livestock, such as feeder cattle, live cattle, and lean hogs, and the processing, packaging, and distribution of livestock products. The Chicago Mercantile Exchange has created an array of financial futures and options to assist livestock producers and processors with their price risk management needs.
