There is international public concern regarding retirement of racehorses, including the reason for retirement and the outcome for horses after racing. However, there are currently no prospective studies investigating these factors. A recent independent inquiry in Queensland, Australia, highlighted that the true outcomes for horses after retirement from racing are largely unknown. Furthermore, there are currently no measures to monitor the outcome for racehorses and their welfare once they have left the care of the trainer. This study investigated these gaps in knowledge through a weekly survey conducted over a 13-month period. We aimed to evaluate: (1) the incidence of retirement, (2) the reasons and risk factors for retirement and (3) the medium-term (greater than 6 months) outcomes for horses after retirement. Data were collected through personal structured weekly interviews with participating trainers and analysed using negative binomial and logistic regression. There was a low incidence of retirements, namely 0.4% of horses in training per week. The season and training track did not affect the incidence of retirement. Musculoskeletal injuries were the most common reason for retirement (40/110 horses, 36%). Involuntary retirements accounted for 56/100 (51%) of retirements, whereby musculoskeletal injuries, respiratory or cardiac conditions and behavioural problems prevented the horse from racing The odds of voluntary retirement, whereby the horse was retired due to racing form or impending injury, increased with each additional race start (OR 1.05; p = 0.01) and start/year of racing (OR 1.21; p = 0.03) but decreased with increasing percentage of first, second and third places (OR 0.94; p < 0.001). Medium-term follow-up (median 14 months, IQR 11, 18, range 8–21) revealed that most horses (108/110; 98%) were repurposed after retirement, almost half as performance horses (50/110; 46%). Horses that voluntarily retired had 2.28 times the odds of being repurposed as performance horses than those retired involuntarily (p = 0.03). Whether retirement was voluntary or involuntary did not influence whether horses were used for breeding or pleasure. The primary limitation of this study is that our results reflect retirement in racehorses in South East Queensland, Australia, and may not be globally applicable. Furthermore, we were unable to monitor the long-term outcome and welfare of horses in their new careers. It is vital that the industry is focused on understanding the risks for voluntary rather than involuntary retirement and optimising the long-term repurposing of horses. There is a need for traceability and accountability for these horses to ensure that their welfare is maintained in their new careers.

Full textAbstract:
The retirement of the Boomer generation constitutes the largest wave of retirements in US history. This article examines the ways in which mega-casinos as institutions have become new spaces of aging and important sites where the ideals of retirement can be played out. Based on thirty-two months of fieldwork at two of the US’s largest casinos, I argue that these facilities help older adults maintain their personhood by engaging them socially, mentally, and physically through the myriad services and amenities they offer. Dominating narratives informed by Western economic and medical trends call for ‘active aging,’ ‘productive aging,’ or ‘aging gracefully,’ and these related paradigms emphasize social engagement along with physical and cognitive activities as the keys to thriving in old age. The casino environment simultaneously challenges and facilitates these narratives, providing an age-diverse setting in which seniors can exercise, entertain family, acquire gifts, and earn status. Drawing on David Graeber’s (2001) framework for theorizing value, I assert that it is participation in the many activities of the casino, rather than the monetary wins and losses, that has constituted them as valuable places to sustain personhood and achieve the ideals of an ‘active’ or ‘successful’ retirement.

Full textAbstract:
<p>Retirement forces older workers to disconnect with their previous behavioural patterns and economic position. Transition and adjustment from working life to retirement places great psychological pressure and financial distress on older workers, especially those with dependent children. Bridge employment provides a solution for older workers to continue working after retirement while transitioning into retirement slowly and smoothly. As losing the job role has a significant impact on the psychological well-being of retirees, engaging in bridge employment helps to fulfil the important psychological functions of older workers by providing an adaptive style to retirement. This study investigates the influence of retirement planning and job satisfaction on bridge employment. A self-administered questionnaire was used in this study and a total of 523 samples were collected for nine major districts in Sabah. Data were analysed using Partial Least Square (PLS) method version 2.0. The result showed a significant relationship between retirement planning and job satisfaction on bridge employment, explaining 4.7% the variance in bridge employment and job satisfaction was found to be the strongest predictor of bridge employment.</p>

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The research on place of death among Chinese oldest adults is scare. This study explored the associations of urbanization and financial source on the places of death among Chinese longevity older adults. The sample consists of 21,920 decedents (female=60%, died at home=89%, mean age at death=95) from 2000-2018 Chinese Longitudinal Healthy Longevity Survey (CLHLS), conducted by Peking University. Places of death were divided into two categories: home and other sites (including hospitals, institutions and others). Urbanization was measured by residential areas: rural or city. Financial source consisted of family financial support and retirement wage. Chi-square test showed that older adults living in rural areas and getting family finance support were more likely to die at home. Results from binary regression models show that controlling for covariates, decedents living in cities were 6.2 times more likely to die in other places than at home and those received retirement wage were 3.1 times respectively. Notably, older adults who lived in cities and also had retirement wage were 17.7 times more likely to die in other places comparing to those living in rural areas with only family finance support. Findings suggest that more older adults will choose to die at hospitals or institutions as the process of urbanization and the development of social pension system in China, which will put enormous pressure to the hospital-centered healthcare system. Improving the quality of healthcare in grassroots areas might be a feasible attempt to relive the pressure of hospital-centered healthcare system in cities.

Full textAbstract:
The nature of the increasingly ageing populations of developed countries places residential issues of these populations at the heart of urban policy. Retirement villages as housing options for older adults in Australia has been growing steadily in recent years; however, there have been a dearth of geographical studies looking into the distribution of existing retirement villages at the regional level. This study aims to reveal the geographical distributions and cluster patterns of retirement villages in the Greater Brisbane Region of Australia to better understand and serve the living requirements of current and potential retirement village residents. The geovisualization method was adopted to visually explore the distribution patterns of retirement villages. The Global Moran’s I and Local Moran’s I measures were employed to analyze the spatial correlation and the clusters of retirement villages in the study region. The study revealed that distribution of retirement villages was not random (z-score = 7.11; p < 0.001), but clustered in nature and included hotspot patterns, especially along the coastline and Brisbane River areas. Moreover, for-profit and not-for-profit retirement villages have different distribution patterns and adopted significantly different tenure agreements. In the study region, the spatial distribution of retirement villages aligns with the aggregation trend of older residents. The findings of this study disclosed the spatial distribution patterns of retirement villages and will provide developers and policymakers with geographically referenced data for the choice of new development sites to meet the market demand of potential customers, forming aged-friendly development strategies, and eventually leading to improved quality of life for older Australians.

Persons of retirement age are the most vulnerable category of citizens requiring support from the state during a pandemic. The article considers social support measures, as well as measures taken in various states and aimed at reducing the incidence and mortality rate among the population (self-isolation regime, transition to remote work, mask regime, recommendations for visiting public places at certain hours). Based on an analysis of social policy and measures implemented in these countries, measures have been proposed to increase social guarantees in Russia against persons of retirement age during the coronavirus pandemic.

AbstractVirtually all state and local government employers in the United States offer workers some sort of retirement benefits today but there is significant variation in the characteristics of those plans. There is also a great deal of public angst about the level and timing of commitments made in these plans. The literature on retirement plans suggests that they are important elements of compensation that plan sponsors use in meeting their human resource goals. But public retirement plans are created and operated in a public policy environment and forces other than local labor market considerations may be brought to bear in the organization and operation of these plans. This paper explores some of the possible explanations for the variation in state retirement plans. Public disclosure data is used to develop a model that explains relative generosity of benefits based on the characteristics of participants and the marketplaces in which the plans are offered. The final section of the paper places the issues explored in a forward looking context. The public disclosure environment recently put in place for public retirement plans is likely to have a more profound effect on state pension operations than any other development in recent history.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTThe two movies aboutThe Best Exotic Marigold Hotel(2012 and 2015) were directed by John Madden. Starring a cast of famous British older actors, the narratives are set in a faded hotel in India. These are individuals who have relocated because their retirement dreams cannot be realised in their home country. They reflect the growing phenomenon of international retirement migration (IRM): the quickly growing upsurge of financially independent individuals seeking an affordable old age. In India they can claim a position of relative comfort and privilege. For a generation that grew up in a consumerist culture, upward mobility in the senior life stage has become a purchasable commodity through exodus to a developing country. This generation of retirees is generally in better health compared with prior seniors, with a longer life expectancy. Many have a background of travel experience, and an ethos that places their own pleasures in life as pivotal. While global numbers are unavailable, it is estimated that there are millions of retirees relocating to less-developed countries for an affordable retirement. At retirement locations such as the Marigold Hotel, the discrepancies that continue between nations, and local poverty, enable this practice. The events in these movies might be read as a recapitulation of imperialism expressed through retirement migration.

The article presents results of the study ofproblems of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in retirement age citizens of the Russian Federation in the period of from 2005 to 2014. There were analyzed the number of this category of invalids, their specific weight among re-recognized as disabled cases with account of classes of diseases and the age, structure of the repeated disability in groups, the level of repeated disability and ranking places of subjects of the Russian Federation on this index in 2014. The results of the executed analysis indicate that only in the Russian Federation for 10 years (2005-2014) there were re-recognized as disabled due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue 487.1 thousand people from citizens of retirement age with distinct dynamics of the increase as their absolute number (from 22.1 thousand persons in 2005 to 69.3 thousand people in 2014) and the index of disability level (respectively from 7.6 to 20.5 per 10 thousand of the corresponding adult population). This pathology was established to determine a high level of repeated disability in this age group (20.5 per 10 thousand population). Comparative analysis by age revealed that in the Russian Federation in the structure of the repeated disability due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue in the adult population invalids of the retirement age prevail (42.8% in 2014). Along with diseases of the circulatory system (of rank 1) and malignant neoplasms (rank 2), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue form the contingent of cases repeatedly recognized as disabled of retirement age (3th rank place). A ranking ofall subjects of the Russian Federation by the level of repeated disability of citizens of retirement age due to diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue allowed to select 70 ranking places, that with bearing in mind the present demographic situation, has a practical orientation for planning the organization of medical and social care for the given large category of the population.

Abstract With increasing longevity, older adults need activities after retirement. Volunteering can be alternate for substituting role after retirement. Social capital is an important resource to start volunteering. Vice-versa, volunteering can increase their social network and social support. This study examined how the factors of volunteering affect emotional, instrumental and esteem support of older adults. This study used the 6th additional wave of the Korean Retirement and Income Study (2016). The sample size was 202 and target population were adults age 65+. Multiple regressions were used for data analysis.. Demographic variables (e.g. gender, age, etc) were controlled. Independent variables included volunteer time, how many places they volunteered at, whether volunteers were professionals providing pro-bono services or not, whether they were self-motivated or asked by others. For dependent variables, social support such as emotional, instrumental and esteem support were used. If volunteers were asked by others, emotional and esteem support were increased. If volunteers were self-motivated, it affected esteem support. If they were volunteering in multiple places, instrumental and esteem support were higher than volunteering in only one place. Length of volunteering time spent affected the instrumental support negatively. There were differences between those who were professionals versus nonprofessional volunteering affecting instrumental support. Nonprofessional volunteering affected instrumental support more than professional volunteering. These findings implied social support motivation, time, and whether the volunteer was a professional or not affected different kinds of social support differently. Findings show the importance of older adults doing volunteering to enhance social support.

Full textAbstract:
China's aging population, primarily driven by the family planning policy, increasing life expectancy, and declining fertility rates, poses significant economic challenges for the nation. This paper investigates the implications of this demographic shift on the labor force and productivity, retirement, pension and healthcare systems, and savings and investment behaviors, and provides policy recommendations to address these challenges. The research demonstrates that a shrinking labor force may lead to reduced productivity and wages, impacting the overall economy and China's competitiveness in the global market. However, technological advancements and automation may help mitigate these challenges. In terms of retirement, pension, and healthcare systems, the aging population places considerable pressure on their sustainability. Policy changes, such as delaying retirement age, reforming the pension system, and investing in healthcare infrastructure, may help alleviate these pressures. Regarding savings and investment behaviors, the paper highlights the differences between older and younger individuals, with potential implications for the financial market's stability and growth. The significance of this research lies in its comprehensive analysis of the economic challenges posed by China's aging population and its innovative suggestions for policy changes to address these issues. Key policy recommendations include encouraging technology adoption and innovation, implementing pension system reforms, gradually increasing the retirement age, investing in healthcare infrastructure and professional training, and developing financial products and services tailored to the aging population's needs. These proactive policy changes and adaptations can help China successfully navigate the demographic shift, ensuring continued economic growth and stability for its citizens.

Full textAbstract:
In a context of aging, low fertility, and progressive slowdown of both internal population mobility and international migration at working age, residential mobility at older ages was regarded as an emerging phenomenon in Mediterranean Europe, a region with increasingly attractive retirement places. The present work discusses the socioeconomic processes (and the environmental impacts) associated with an increasing flow of retirees, which decide to settle from ‘Northern’ countries to Southern Europe, concentrating in coastal districts and in rural countryside. Understanding lifestyle preferences and territorial patterns of residential mobility at older ages allows a refined analysis of short- and medium-term impacts of International Retirement Migration (IRM) on population dynamics in economically growing and declining regions. A refined analysis reveals that destinations of IRM are progressively enlarging from strictly coastal places to a broader set of locations in the rural countryside. Mobility choices among retirees may jeopardize the role of spatial planning, which is increasingly asked to provide specific services for an international, elder population, e.g., stimulating re-use of abandoned rural buildings. Taken as an effective option for rural development, an improved planning and management of local districts attracting and hosting intense flows of residential mobility at older ages is urgent in the present socioeconomic context. A convenient set of policies and a refined taxation system may contribute to reconcile demographic shrinkage with local competitiveness and social cohesion.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Loneliness is a public health concern that is associated with poor mental and physical health. Caregiving spouses of community-dwelling older adults often have high levels of caregiving burden, which make them more vulnerable to social isolation and loneliness. There has been a growing interest in third places as mediums for social interaction. Research on third places shows a positive association of greater access to third places with social networks and social health. However, this has not been tested in the context of caregiving. In this paper, we examined the role of various types of third places in reducing loneliness among caregiving spouses. We used the 2006-2016 Health and Retirement Study and the National Neighborhood Data Archive to examine the relationship between the availability of third places per square mile and loneliness. Third places include food outlets (e.g. grocery stores), eating and drinking places (e.g., restaurants, coffee shops), commercial establishments (e.g., department stores), entertainment organizations (e.g., museum), exercise facilities (e.g., fitness), religious organizations (e.g., churches), civic and social organizations (e.g., social clubs), personal care services (e.g., barbershops, beauty salons), and social services for older adults (e.g., senior centers). We found that caregiving spouses living in neighborhoods with greater availability of third places had lower levels of loneliness. We also found gender differences in the association. For instance, greater availability of eating and drinking places was associated with loneliness only among females. Increasing access to places that provide opportunities for social interactions may prevent social isolation and reduce loneliness among caregiving spouses.

Full textAbstract:
This paper elucidates and champions a spatiality perspective in social gerontology, by arguing that relationships between older people and the spaces and places they inhabit illuminate deeply-ingrained societal attitudes and values. The trilogy of society, image and place is explored through an interpretive reading of images and scripts in ‘successful ageing’ and ‘anti-ageing’ created and promoted by the booming ‘retirement industry’ in the United States. Six tropes are revealed in an interpretation of prevalent images of ‘Sunbelt Retirement Land’: geographic cornucopia, ageless selves, near perfection, the right stuff, down home living, and nomads of desire. This reading serves as a springboard in elaborating Cole's (1992) notion of bipolar ageism, as we vacillate between negative stereotypes of old age and positive elixirs, such as anti-ageing and agelessness, that are cloaked denials of decline, disease and death. The paper concludes with a series of troubling questions about the perpetuation and depth of ageism in society and culture.Every present day is determined by the images that are synchronic with it: each ‘now’ is the now of a particular recognizability.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACTWork occupies a central place in identity formation. Consequently, retirement places retirees in a new reality that compels them to redefine themselves and adopt a new identity. The present article examines how retirees shape their identity in the absence of work. An interpretive analysis of in-depth interviews conducted with retirees in Israel shows that although retirement and old age are not necessarily equivalent or interconnected, the retirees themselves draw parallels between them, and at the same time also deny this linkage, preferring to draw a distinction between them. The findings reinforce the argument presented in the literature, namely that in contemporary society it is difficult to identify with old age. They also propose a new perspective that reveals the negotiation retirees conduct with old age, age and body, and how identity is shaped by way of denial. In this negotiation the retirees construct their identity around two central, parallel axes: retirement and old age. It further emerges that it is precisely the efforts to mask and repress old age, which are usually made in the body domain, that attest to the existence and presence of old age in their identity. Denial of old age creates a dynamic, hybrid identity that enables retirees to simultaneously accept and reject old age.

Full textAbstract:
This article focuses on the embodiment, emplacement and representation of aged identities and suggests that more attention be paid to the spatiality of age relations. Identities are both externally imposed and self nominated. Using the example of retirees I explored the ways in which particular places are involved in the creation of identities. Sun City retirement communities are shown to 1) have a material form that serves the retiree identity, 2) be represented in particular ways that contribute to that identity and 3) simultaneously act as a representation. The article asks whether or not these communities are indicative of a shift to postmodernism, characterized by increased emphasis on surveillance, security, simulations, consumerism, and fragmentation of identities, in both life courses and landscapes.

Abstract The place of care at the time of death can influence the satisfaction, type, and cost of end-of-life care. This study investigated factors associated with place of death among older adults in the Health and Retirement Study (Exit files 2002-2018) with cognitive impairment (n=3,102). Black and Hispanic participants were more likely to die in the hospital (OR=1.80, 1.47) and less likely to die in a nursing home (OR=0.54, 0.37) than white and non-Hispanic participants. Hispanic participants were also 50% more likely to die at home than non-Hispanics. Compared to other places, participants who died at home were 43% more satisfied, and participants who died at nursing homes were 32% less satisfied with the care they received. There was no significant effect of ethnicity on the relationship between place of death and satisfaction with care. Investigating the moderating role of other demographic factors can shed more light on this relationship.

The objectives of the study were to examine the impact of interpersonal and tangible aspects of resident satisfaction on word-of-mouth (WOM) intention in community-embedded third places with long-duration service experiences and to investigate the mediating effect of interpersonal aspects on the relationship between tangible resident satisfaction and WOM intention. Paper-based survey questionnaires and postage-paid envelopes were mailed to 293 continuing care retirement community (CCRC) residents. Reliability and validity of the multidimensional construct of resident satisfaction were ensured through confirmatory factor analysis. Hierarchical regression analysis and MANOVA were used to test the hypotheses. A total of 157 completed surveys were received. Analysis showed that two categories of resident satisfaction were statistically distinct. Interpersonal aspects of resident satisfaction (resident involvement, social interaction, and staff care) positively impacted WOM intention more than the tangible aspects (room, home, and meals service). The relationship between tangible resident satisfaction and WOM intention was mediated by interpersonal aspects of resident satisfaction. This study contributes to the literature by (1) examining the mediating effect of interpersonal resident satisfaction between tangible satisfaction and WOM intention in community embedded third places and by (2) exploring the role of non-traditional third places, (i.e., third places nested within residential community settings) as opposed to conventional types (i.e., individual commercial settings). Thus, it addresses the call for research on permanent residents with long-duration service experiences and the effect of one location nested within another.

AbstractThe undergraduate degree in Environmental Science at Murdoch University has been a 14 year experiment in providing a new kind of disciplinary training and profession. Some achievements are examined and possible directions for the future reviewed.This paper is about an experiment in environmental education in Western Australia - the establishment of an undergraduate degree in Environmental Science. The experiment has hardly been discussed before, mainly because the experiment was still going on, but 1989 represents a new phase of that experiment after the retirement of the Foundation Professor Des O'Connor. Some perspective is thus attempted on its achievements and possible directions for the future are examined.It has been an important experiment because there are very few places in Australia or overseas where there has been such a commitment and vision to seeking solutions to environmental problems through education. This is mainly because there are not many places where a new University has been founded in the past 15 years with Environmental Science as a foundation discipline.

The search for engines to power rural economic growth has gone beyond the traditional boundaries of the food and fiber sector to industries such as tourism and to schemes such as attracting metropolitan workers to commuter communities with rural amenities. A group that has been somewhat overlooked is retirees, who may wish to trade in urban or suburban lifestyles for a more peaceful rural retirement. An industry that has been neglected is the health care industry, which is the most rapidly growing industry nationally and of particular interest to retirees and aging populations. This paper examines the importance of rural health care services in attracting migrants age 65+ to rural counties in Michigan. Results indicate that the number of health care workers has a positive effect on net in-migration, and that this effect is large and statistically significant for the 70+ age group. Implications for rural development strategies are discussed.

Caring for an elderly spouse with dementia places a heavy burden on spousal caregivers and often results in chronic depression. Little has been written about change in depression caregivers experience from before to after the death of the spouse with dementia. This longitudinal study examines change in depression of spousal caregivers that occurs following death of the dementia patient. Two theoretical models, the Relief and Stress Models, are discussed in terms of caregiver depression after the death of the dementia-patient care-recipient spouse. These two theoretical models were tested using longitudinal data from the National Institute on Aging sponsored Health and Retirement Study. Both male and female spousal caregivers report an increase in depression after the death of the dementia-patient care-recipient spouse. As time passed following the spouse's death, the conjugally bereaved husbands showed a decrease in depression while the conjugally bereaved wives continued to report increased depression.

The article states that in our republic there is still no single, standard system of social guarantees and social protection of former sports workers. It has been known that many diseases discovered in professional physical education and sports workers after retirement from professional sports were laid at a younger age. During professional training in various sports, the risk of injury increases and accidents are more likely to occur in those places. Therefore, it is appropriate to mention labor protection issues in the relevant labor legislation. Maternal and child health issues require special attention in occupational medicine, as well as the participation of more women and young people in elite sports issues of maternal and child health. In connection with the above, it is advisable to contact the MMST for the joint development of a draft industry standard for occupational health and safety in professional sports activities.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the role of hospitality service quality in a third place for the elderly using a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) setting. The study builds from the relational theory of third places testing the causal relationships among resident needs, place meaning, and loyalty outcomes. The study extends the theory by applying it to the CCRC context through using data that were collected from 157 CCRC residents in the southeastern portion of the United States. The proposed relational third-place model using the construct of place meaning was tested using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and structural equation modeling (SEM). Results indicated that resident needs (tangibles, instrumental support, and emotional support) positively influenced place meaning, and in turn place meaning positively impacted resident loyalty outcomes. Through the relational theory of third places, the CCRC is a meaningful place to residents, and CCRC residents are loyal to the community. Most importantly, the results of the study identified that service quality strongly impacted place meaning in the CCRC. Theoretically, the study provided valid and reliable support suggesting that the construct of place meaning is applicable to the CCRC setting. Practically, this study provides empirical support for the importance of providing a rich hospitality service culture through strengthening instrumental support, emotional support, and tangibles. In this way, management should establish a culture that is rich in hospitality and service through the enhancement of tangibles, empathetic and interactive staff care. Finally, this rich culture will lead to enhanced place attachment as supported by this exploratory study.

Full textAbstract:
This paper develops Anderson's (1983) concept of ‘imagined community’ to explore the social meaning of popular images of ageing and the beliefs of older people. Popular iconography and texts are examined in relation to the representation of ‘normal’ or ‘positive’ ageing in areas including the marketing of seaside towns as places for retirement through the emphasis upon heritage, British holiday brochures for old people, lifestyle magazines, and the general sites of death, dying, funerals and bereavement ‘therapy’. These are seen as prescriptive representations that are sanitised and fictional. Emphasising communalism and homogeneity, they ignore the realities of history, and the differences and inequalities to be found amongst the old as a social group. This ‘vocabulary of motive’ (Mills 1940) of imagined community is found to be predominant within positive images of ageing, especially those found in ‘consumer culture’. The paper also considers how ageing can become a theatre for the interpretation and performance of imagined community in autobiographical context.

Leach Glover (1697–1763) danced in London's theatres from 1717 until 1741 and was a leading dancer for nearly twenty years. In 1738, he was appointed as a dancing master to Britain's royal family, a post he retained following his retirement from the stage. This article looks at Glover's family and professional background and places his theatrical career within the wider context of dancing on the London stage. It looks in detail at his first and last seasons working for John Rich, manager of the Lincoln's Inn Fields and then Covent Garden theatres. It examines not only Glover's repertoire but also his changing status in the dance company that existed within the theatrical company. As part of this investigation, it discusses some of Glover's contemporaries alongside its appraisal of his own work and looks at the challenges as well as the opportunities he experienced within the commercial environment of the London stage.

This randomized controlled pilot study evaluated the effects of the Psychoeducational Approach to Transcendence and Health (PATH) Program, an 8-week intervention hypothesized to increase self-transcendence and improve well-being in community-dwelling women aged 60 years and older ( N = 20). The PATH combined mindfulness exercises, group processes, creative activities, and at-home practice using community engaged research methods. Findings provided some support for the effectiveness of PATH. Although there was no significant Group × Time interaction, self-transcendence, psychological well-being, and life satisfaction differed significantly pre- and postintervention in the wait-listed control group, which received a revised version of the program. Further study is needed with a larger sample to determine the effectiveness of PATH. Potentially, PATH may be a convenient and affordable activity to support personal development and improve well-being among older adults at senior centers, retirement communities, nursing homes, church groups, and other places where older adults gather.

Abstract This study aimed to examine factors associated with life-space constriction, using the data from the Health and Retirement Study, a nationally representative sample. We limited our analysis to those who were 65 years and older and answered to the 2012 experimental module on life-space (N=895; mean age=75.3; 59.4% women). Life-space was assessed with the modified version of the UAB Study of Aging Life-Space Assessment, ranging nine zones: room, home, own property, immediate neighborhood, town, community, county, state, and region. A series of logistic regression models were used to estimate odds ratios for life-space constriction by sociodemographic and health characteristics. The results showed that 3.0% and 6.7% of older adults reported that they had never been to places beyond their home and own property/apartment building for the past four weeks, i.e. the critical boundaries in terms of social isolation. The significant factor associated with the life-space constriction within home, immediate neighborhood, and town was physical mobility limitation (OR: 1.18, 1.09, 1.11, respectively), while the constriction within county was associated with education level (OR: 0.91). Driving a car was negatively associated with the life-space constriction within own property/apartment building and home (OR: 0.48 and 0.22, respectively). Policy makers need to pay more attention to social and environmental factors influencing social isolation among older adults such as transportation options and social class disparity.

The article reconstructs the places of the summer vacancy of the academician-Slavist Evfimiy Fyodorovich Karskiy (1860—1931) during the entire time of his scientific and educational activity (since his graduation from the Nizhyn Historical and Philological Institute) on the basis of several groups of sources: reports (published and archival) on Karskiy's summer trips, his scientific publications, official documents (stored in the St. Petersburg Branch of the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Central State Historical Archive of St. Petersburg, the Polish State Archive), published minutes of the Council of the Imperial Warsaw University, correspondence of the scientist from the archives of St. Petersburg, Moscow and Prague, memoirs of members of the academician's family. The favorite places of repeated summer stay of the academician's family are: Grodnenskaya province (Migovo and Ponemun estates), Crimea and the village Luga in the Leningradskaya region. The first trip to the resort — to Alushta — was taken by E. F. Karskiy, as the rector of the Warsaw University, just before his retirement, at the age of 49. E. F. Karskiy's second trip to the Crimea took place in the summer of 1914. The study managed to identify one of the photographs from the family archive of A. A. Karskyj as image of a dacha of the late 19th — early 20th century, owned by the hydrogeologist I. M. Peddakas, whose appearance was unknown for Alushta historians and museum workers.

Full textAbstract:
For the past decade, and expected for the next decade, Australia faces a significant health workforce shortage and an acute maldistribution of health workforce. Against this background the governments at both national and state level have been increasing the training places for all health practitioners and trying to redress the imbalance through a strong regional focus on these developments. Dentistry has been an active participant in these workforce initiatives. This study examines the increasing demand for academics and discusses the existing pathways for increase, and also examines in detail the advantages of a sustainable, shared-model approach, using dentistry as a model for other disciplines. Three non-exclusive pathways for reform are considered: importation of academics, delayed retirement and the shared resource approach. Of the various solutions outlined in this review a detailed explanation of a cost-effective shared model of senior academic leadership is highlighted as a viable, sustainable model for ameliorating the shortage. What is known about the topic? Little if any peer review literature has examined the academic workforce in oral health in Australia (or overseas). However, the lessons from other disciplines (including medicine) are that there is a growing shortage as the baby boomers move to retirement. What does this paper add? This manuscript provides some perspectives on the growing shortage of dental academics in Australia and examines one sustainable model for ameliorating this effect while Australia makes a fundamental shift in addressing academic workforce needs. What are the implications for practitioners? Academics and universities are facing growing issues with providing skilled, sustainable academic profiles in dentistry. This manuscript starts a dialogue as to options to address this issue into the future.

Joanna C. Diman (1901–91): A “Cantankerous” Landscape Architect at Skidmore, Owings & Merrill presents a biographical overview of Diman's career as a landscape architect. Using hitherto unpublished sources, Nicholas Adams traces Diman's progress from her training at the Lowthorpe School of Landscape Architecture for Women (from which she graduated in 1923) through her early work for individual practitioners. For a decade beginning in 1934, she worked for the New York City Department of Parks. In 1944, she joined the New York office of Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, where she worked until her retirement in 1967. Archival sources at SOM reveal that she was involved to differing degrees in nearly all projects that passed through the firm's New York office, from the relatively small garden at Lever House to the great works of “pastoral capitalism,” such as that at Connecticut General in Bloomfield, Connecticut (1957). Adams raises questions of stylistic individuality and places them alongside the larger issue of what influence an in-house landscape department had on design at SOM during these years.

There was performed a study of the cohort of persons re-recognized to be disabled (PRRD) due to the eye and adnexa diseases in the adult population of the Altai region over 2004-2013. In the structure of occasional disability in PRRD the first four ranking places are occupied by such nosological forms as complicated myopia, optic nerve disease, glaucoma and retinal degeneration. Their proportion in the total structure amounted to 71.9%. In the structure ofPRRD according to disability groups with taking into account the gender and nosology,amongpersons having group III and II disability there were dominated male cases with glaucoma (68.7%) and diseases of the optic nerve (64.1%) and female cases with myopia (63.5%). In the structure of PRRD in terms of the age and nosology there were prevailed retirement age patients disabled due to glaucoma (64.9%) and young and middle age patients disabled due to complicated myopia (32.9% and 42.8%, respectively), diseases of the optic nerve (49.8% and 29.9%) and retinal degeneration (34.1% and 26.4%, respectively).

Full textAbstract:
There are many studies on the impact of physical activity on health but few studies on the relationship between physical activity and medical expenditure among the elderly. Based on the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Survey (CHARLS) database and selected 4456 valid samples, this paper used a two-part model to analyze the effects of high, moderate, and low physical activity intensity on medical expenditure. It is found that the intensity of physical activity was negatively correlated with medical expenditure, and the medical expenditure of the high physical activity intensity group was significantly lower than that of the low physical activity intensity group. For example, compared to people with no physical activity, the total medical expenditure decreased by 22.4%, 40.4%, and 62.5% per week in those with low, moderate, and high physical activity intensity. Thus, the government should provide more places for the elderly to exercise, planning special exercise areas for the elderly in community playgrounds, such as a dancing square, which will also help the elderly to increase their amount of exercise per week and develop a daily exercise habit.

Background. The purpose of the work: to study the structure and features of the dynamics of primary disability among the adult population of Ukraine as a result of non-oncological urological diseases. Materials and methods. The reporting form No. 14 of the State Statistics Service of Ukraine, the statistical sources of the Ukrainian State Research Institute of Medical and Social Problems of Disability, documentation of regional centers for medical and social expertise are used. Results. There is a tendency to reduce the number of people recognized as disabled for the first time due to genitourinary diseases. It has been confirmed that prolonging temporary disability contributes to this. The official reporting of the causes of disability by the class of genitourinary diseases is presented only for chronic glomerulonephritis and chronic pyelonephritis; for 5 years, the incidence of the first nosology increased by 13.0 % (to 43.8 % among 1,549 registered), the second — decreased by 37.4 % (to 20.0 % in all regions except Kyiv). At the same time, there was a tendency to reduce the incidence of disability retirement for reasons classified as “others” (36.2 ± 2.0 % vs. 39.0 ± 1.8 % in 2016, and in the Central and Northeastern regions it reached 49.2 ± 2.8 % and 49.6 ± 4.7 %, respectively). Apart from the two above-mentioned pathologies, the structure of disability causes is as follows: the first three places belonged to urolithiasis, polycystic kidney disease, single kidney, the next three — hydronephrosis, congenital malformations and urethral stricture. With age, the incidence of urolithiasis, polycystic kidney disease, hydronephrosis, urethral stricture increases and the incidence of congenital malformations and a single kidney decreases. Over the years, the assignment of the second group of disability decreases (18.1 ± 3.1 % in 2020 vs. 20.4 ± 2.6 % in 2016), with an increase of the third group (67.8 ± 3.8 % vs. 65.3 ± 3.1 %), and stabilization of the first group (14.1 vs. 14.3 %). Conclusions. During the 5-year observation period, 12.9 % more patients avoided disability and 4.7 % less received groups I and II. A decrease by 37.4 % (to 20.0 %) in the share of chronic pyelonephritis as a cause of disability was observed in all regions except Kyiv. Structure of other causes of disability: urolithiasis — 45.0 %, polycystic kidney disease — 22.1 %, single kidney — 18.8 %, hydronephrosis — 15.4 %, congenital defects — 12.1 %, urethral stricture — 4.7 %. Against the background of the general increase in disability assignments with age, group III disability among others was more common (7.7 % — at the age of up to 39 years, 63.1 % — at pre-retirement age, 67.8 % — at retirement age).

Full textAbstract:
The major source of income of Chinese farmers is non-farm income, especially wages and salaries. Based on the economics theory of health and healthcare, their non-farm labor supply behavior could be affected by health insurance policies. The work presented in this paper focuses on the impact of the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme (NRCMS) on farmers’ non-farm labor supply behavior in China. A four-part model regression approach was used to examine the relationship. Our dataset comprised of 8273 people, aged 45 or above, from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) conducted in 2011 and 2013. The empirical results showed that NRCMS significantly reduced non-farm labor force participation and employment. Compared to non-participants of the NRCMS, the non-farmer labor time of these participants reduced, but the supplementary medical insurance and immediate reimbursement of the NRCMS increased the participants’ non-farm labor time. Our results have contributed to the reform of China’s public health insurance and farms’ income growth, and it would be necessary to actively promote immediate reimbursement, gradually simplify reimbursement procedures for medical treatment in non-registered places, and eliminate the non-portability of NRCMS.

The article covers the question of health and motor activity of women living in rural areas. Women rated their health status as mediocre (70.0%), good (11.8%), satisfactory (8.1%), ideal (3.9%), unsatisfactory (6.2%). 37.7% of women did not fall ill during the year, 22.5% of respondents fell ill for about two weeks, 20.0% of women about a month, 9.7% of those respondents for more than a month, for more than two month 10.1% women which living in the countryside. Among the means used by rural women to promote and restore health, the first ranked places are: medicines (used by 69.8% of mature women and 98.5% of women of retirement age), folk medicine (24.5% and 37.8% of women of mature and retirement age respectively).
It was found that rural women rate their own motor activity as medium (36.1%), high (25.2%), low (24.7%). 14.0% of women were undecided. The motor activity of rural women is mainly of a household nature related to the various farm works. Women living in rural areas also indicated the dependence of their motor activity on the time of year. The lowest level of motor activity is observed in winter, due to the lack of work on land, gardens, etc. The analysis of the statistics of recent years shows the deterioration of the health of the population of Ukraine, caused by insufficient physical activity, poor diet, bad habits, environmental pollution. The state of health of the population is one of the most important social indicators of social progress, the potential of economic growth of the state, which reflects the welfare of the nation, its socio-economic, demographic, environmental, sanitary and hygienic status Rural women pay insufficient attention to specially organized motor activity. Exercise systematically 11.5% of rural women, most (65.8%) consider them necessary, but do not exercise, citing the lack of time and conditions for employment, and 22.7% of rural women do not see the need for carry out physical exercises. It is worth noting that the activity of rural women in physical activity decreases with age.

Full textAbstract:
The changes taking place within the Sheffield service from 1970 onwards, away from child guidance towards a broadly based application of psychology within the whole education department, not just schools, raised questions about training psychologists to take up this new role. Since the publication of the Summerfield report in 1968 (DES, 1968), there was pressure to increase initial training places by opening up new courses rather than simply expand places on existing courses. Sheffield University had an excellent Department of Psychology as well as a strong School of Education. David Loxley was a graduate from the Psychology department in Sheffield University, and was keen to support the development of such a course.The first course tutor to be appointed to the course was David Thompson, already working as a Senior EP in Sheffield. Later associate tutors working part-time in the Sheffield Service and part-time on the Sheffield University training course cemented the close relationship, and had a profound influence on the course structure and content.By the 1990s pressures for structured continuing professional development (CPD) for serving psychologists was growing, both through the requirements of the British Psychological Society (BPS) for chartered psychologists and through the rapid changes in education (national curriculum and its associated assessment procedures, introduction of the Code of Practice for SEN). The tutors on the Sheffield MSc course saw opportunities to develop a taught doctorate to meet these needs, with the first students accepted onto this new doctorate programme in 1996 The experience of developing and teaching this new programme was valuable when initial training for EPs moved to a three-year doctoral course.David Thompson remained as course tutor from 1974 until his retirement in 2007.

Full textAbstract:
There are well documented workforce shortages in nursing. Many strategies have been suggested to resolve the issue, including increasing migration or training places, changing skill mix or nurses’ roles, redesigning nursing work, and greater use of unregulated or unlicensed workers. One of the contributing and growing factors is the ageing of the workforce, but methods of retaining older employees have been given very little attention. This paper examines the impact of ageing on individuals, the ageing nursing workforce and the implications for government policy given its current status. What is known about the topic?A generation of ‘baby boomer’ nurses are reaching retirement age. The nursing workforce is in crisis due to there being less entrants to the workforce as a result of lower birth rates, wider choices of career, and nurses leaving the profession for less stressful, more satisfying jobs. What does this paper add?This paper outlines the necessity for the employment of retention strategies for older nurses in the workforce. It dispels myths about the functional capabilities of ageing nurses. What are the implications for practitioners?Health managers should canvass ageing nurses to discover strategies that would encourage them to extend their working life. Only then could it become feasible to plan practical solutions to ease the global nursing shortage.

Full textAbstract:
BackgroundAgeing adults are likely to expect informal caregiving assistance from a friend or family member, reflecting the reality that most long-term care (LTC) is provided by family and friends. The purpose of the study was to determine the likelihood that expectations of care will be unmet at the onset of functional disability, and the factors that impact that likelihood.MethodsCommunity-dwelling respondents from biannual repeated assessments (2006–2010) of the Health and Retirement Study over age 65 who expressed a caregiving expectation prior to need were included in the final analytical sample (n=1352). Logistic regression and change models were specified to address impact of variables on unmet expectations.ResultsExpectations of care were unmet for almost one-third (32%) of the sample, among whom 30% were not receiving needed care. Unmet expectations were associated with being unmarried, older and having a higher number of ADL deficits. Change over time in the number of predictor variables influenced the likelihood of unmet expectations.ConclusionsUnplanned dependence on formal care systems and/or having unmet care needs places elders at risk of negative outcomes. Knowledge of factors that impact whether expected care is eventually received provides robust evidence for counselling individuals regarding the need to plan for additional LTC services.

Full textAbstract:
The research examines the keenness of the Qur'anic discourse on the production of a linguistic brotherhood through the employment of one of the non-Semitic languages of the Semitic languages. This view is based on linguistic tolerance and the system of Quranic linguistic policies, in order to show that the existence of such words in the Koranic language did not come from deficiencies in the Arabic language, but came to achieve goals of a universal human nature, namely creating an atmosphere of openness to the other Community through the other language, which achieves a deliberative function on the one hand, and achieves the function of civilizational dialogue and human integration with the societies of these languages taken from the other hand.As for the cultural aspect, it appears that the Quranic discourse places the Arab in front of civilizations and countries surrounding him. He must turn to the discovery and the necessity of competing. On the other hand, the recruitment in the context of Al-Naim creates a Quranic will to call for the urbanization, settlement and stability of the Arab Bedouin man, and his call to think about improving his retirement, clothing and the requirements of his life from food and architecture.

Full textAbstract:
Harm Tjalling Waterbolk (1924) is regarded, together with Pieter J.R. Modderman (1919) and Willem Glasbergen (1923–1979), as the direct inheritor of the founder of Dutch archaeology Albert Egges van Giffen (1884–1973). From the middle of the 1950s, after Van Giffen's retirement, thistroikashaped the rapidly growing academic archaeology in the Netherlands. Until well into the 1970s and 1980s they occupied the most prominent chairs at the universities of Groningen, Leiden and Amsterdam. One look at Waterbolk's impressive list of publications (almost exclusively articles) tells us that for half a century he has been an authoritative participant in developments in Dutch archaeology. He has been involved, directly or indirectly, in the modernization of excavation practices, in changes in the organization of academic education and research, in the introduction of new methods and techniques and in shifts in theory and interpretation. He has made a valuable contribution to the development of large-scale settlement research, to the shaping of the Dutch legal foundation of university education (the study of prehistory in theAcademisch Statuut), to the expansion of palynological research and the C14 method, and to the conceptualization of long-term continuity in the spatial organization of historical communities. His work is interesting because of the blending of a scientific interest in the history of the cultural landscape and a committed and critical involvement with the protection of such. Enough reasons to interview him ten years after his retirement. We meet Waterbolk in Meppel, a small town in south-west Drenthe, on one of the few hot days in the summer of 1996. It has been agreed that we will first pay a short visit to his birthplace in Havelte and to Van Giffen's grave in Diever. Before long it becomes clear that during the tour a web of named places and paths is gradually unfolding, each with its own historical tale and associated with personal memories. The afternoon is spent in the area between Balloo and Rolde, 5 kilometres east of Assen, the capital of the province of Drenthe. This area, which has an un-Dutch concentration of still existing and visible megalithic tombs, burial mounds, Celtic fields, and prehistoric roads, has recently become the subject of Waterbolk's interest (Waterbolk 1994a, and in press b).

Full textAbstract:
Undiagnosed diabetes is a threat to public health. This study aims to identify potential variables related to undiagnosed diabetes using Andersen’s behavioral model. Baseline data including blood test data from the China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) were adopted. First, we constructed health service related variables based on Andersen model. Second, univariate analysis and multiple logistic regression were used to analyze the relations of variables to undiagnosed diabetes. The strength of relationships was presented by odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Finally, the prediction of multiple logistic regression model was assessed using the Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) curve and the area under the ROC curve (AUC). According to diagnosis standards, 1234 respondents had diabetes, among which 560 were undiagnosed and 674 were previously diagnosed. Further analysis showed that the following variables were significantly associated with undiagnosed diabetes: age as the predisposing factor; medical insurance, residential places and geographical regions as enabling factors; having other chronic diseases and self-perceived health status as need factors. Moreover, the prediction of regression model was assessed well in the form of ROC and AUC. Andersen model provided a theoretical framework for detecting variables of health service utilization, which may not only explain the undiagnosed reasons but also provide clues for policy-makers to balance health services among diverse social groups in China.

Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the remuneration level of security guards from Samburu Community working in Nairobi. The study adopted, as its theoretical framework, the Interests Theory of human rights as described by Raz. In examining these issues, the study looked at the following indicators, which provided evidence for granting or non-granting of employee rights: shelter, diet and investments made by the employees; existence of job contracts, insurance cover, retirement benefit plan and health cover; membership to a trade union; promotion at work and salary increment; and the nature of equipment and training for the job. The study involved all security guards from the Samburu community working in Nairobi as the population of study and individual security guards as the unit of analysis. Five areas of the city, that is, Westlands/Kabete, Lavington/Kangemi/Waithaka/Muthaiga/Thika Road, Karen/Lang’ata, South C/South B and Embakasi, were marked out as the places from which the study sample was taken. The study adopted a survey design, and data was collected through questionnaires, which were applied to 200 security guards who had been randomly selected from 5 administrative clusters in Nairobi. The findings indicated that security guards were poorly remunerated. It recommended that the government of Kenya enforce a minimum salary of at least at the level of maximum un-taxable income and proper job contraction for security guards.
