This study examined the relationship between social ties, residential location, and subjective well-being among older adults. The researchers hypothesized that rural residents would report higher subjective well-being than urban/suburban residents, and that informal social integration would be associated with higher subjective well-being. The results showed no difference in subjective well-being between rural and urban residents. However, informal social ties, such as interactions with friends and family, were significantly associated with higher subjective well-being across all groups. Additionally, informal social ties appeared to have a greater impact on the well-being of rural older adults compared to their urban counterparts. The researchers concluded that strong, informal social ties are important for the well-being of older adults, especially

When and how does economic growth lead to real improvements in peoples' lives? The Social Progress Index has been designed to answer that question, measuring the performance of countries based on exclusively social and environmental indicators. Michael Green, Executive Director of the Social Progress Imperative, will explain how the Index measures the inclusiveness of 132 countries and how it is being used by governments, businesses and civil society organizations to drive change.
Human dignity rights and the common good
Citizenship has traditionally referred to a set of political rights and duties within a political community. Broadening its meaning detracts from citizenship's important political role. Democratic citizenship is rare, with only around 64% of countries being electoral democracies where voters can realistically change governments. While voter turnout has declined in established democracies, most citizens still approve of democracy. Being able to vote through reasonably fair rules on an equal basis distinguishes citizens from subjects lacking this opportunity under authoritarian regimes. Political regulation through institutions is needed to coordinate social interactions beyond relying on individuals' goodness or coercion.

Democratic citizenship is rare, with only around 64% of countries being electoral democracies where voters can realistically change governments. While the number of democracies has grown, voter turnout in established democracies has declined. However, most citizens still approve of democracy as preferable to other systems of government. Being able to vote through reasonably fair rules is crucial as it allows citizens to influence policymaking and pursue collective interests, distinguishing citizens from mere subjects.

Rural and non-rural sexual minority youth showed similar health indicators, with a few exceptions. Rural sexual minority youth reported poorer mental health, lower safety, and higher substance use than both rural and non-rural heterosexual youth. Compared to heterosexual youth, sexual minority youth were more likely to be involved in social or political activities, perhaps to connect with a supportive community. While urbanicity may no longer confer differences for sexual minority youth, their sexual identity remains associated with greater health risks regardless of rural or non-rural location.
Fighting Homophobia to Fight HIV
1) The document discusses issues around homophobia and HIV among gay and bisexual men in the US, noting rates are increasing among these groups.
2) It calls for increased CDC funding for community-level HIV prevention programs targeting at-risk groups like gay/bisexual men of color and women of color.
3) The document advocates promoting resiliency among at-risk groups through education programs and LGBT-affirming interventions.

Racial disparities in health persist despite advances in medicine and technology. Minorities experience higher rates of illness and death than whites across many health conditions. Socioeconomic status, which is strongly linked to race, is a major determinant of health. Improving living conditions, education levels, income, and neighborhoods could help reduce health inequalities by making healthy choices easier and alleviating stress. Comprehensive social and economic policies are needed across all sectors to address fundamental causes of poor health and disparities.
The gendered foundations of partner violence and its relationship to HIV
This document discusses the relationship between gender-based violence and HIV. It finds that intimate partner violence (IPV) is the most common form of violence women experience globally. IPV increases women's risk of HIV through multiple pathways, including exposure to higher-risk partners of abusive men, genital trauma from violence increasing susceptibility to infection, and psychological impacts of abuse like PTSD that can influence risk behaviors. While individual, relationship, and community factors all predict violence, the strongest predictors of a population's IPV levels are social norms justifying abuse and gender inequality in areas like ownership rights. Economic development alone does not explain violence levels, but appears to be a marker for related social changes. Addressing underlying gender inequality and social norms is key
Session 2 c iariw 2014 the relation between demographic changes, poverty and
This paper analyzes changes in per capita family income in Brazil between 1981 and 2011, decomposing the changes into effects from shifts in family structures and changes within family types. It finds that changing structures, with declining traditional nuclear families and rising single-headed households, had overall positive effects on income, especially for richer families. However, the growing share of single mothers with young children negatively impacted income variation, particularly for poorer families. The results suggest demographic changes affect poverty and inequality differently depending on socioeconomic group.

Women with HIV/AIDS in New York City - A Geographic Review
The document analyzes geographic data on women with HIV/AIDS in New York City. It finds the highest numbers are in the Bronx, Harlem, Lower East Side, and Central Brooklyn. However, the highest rates are concentrated in the South and Central Bronx and parts of Harlem and Central Brooklyn. Unlike men, the highest concentration of women with HIV/AIDS falls within the highest poverty neighborhoods. Similarly, it falls within the highest incarceration rate neighborhoods. This suggests factors like poverty and incarceration may be more related to high rates in women than sexual orientation for men. The document recommends improving and tailoring HIV/AIDS services for women in these high-risk neighborhoods.
Social Class & Adventism
The document discusses social stratification and social class. It provides information on:
1) Different systems of social stratification such as caste systems, estate systems, and social-economic class systems.
2) Various dimensions of social stratification including wealth, power, and prestige.
3) Consequences of social stratification such as differences in health, education, marriage, crime, and other life outcomes based on social class.
4) The experience of social class and mobility within the Adventist church, finding both upward mobility for converts but also wealthier members leaving the church.

Belize: Socio Political Situation Affecting the Development of Women
The document discusses the socio-political situation affecting women's development in Belize. It notes that while women make up the majority of registered voters, they remain underrepresented in political leadership which is dominated by men. It also outlines several social issues disproportionately impacting women, such as abandonment, abuse, and poverty. The document calls for empowering women through greater political participation, challenging gender inequality in decision-making, and addressing the root causes of women's marginalization rather than just alleviating symptoms.

This document discusses issues related to population aging and supporting older adults and those with dementia. Some key points:
- By 2050, over 2 billion people will be aged 60+ with the majority living in low- and middle-income countries. Dementia is increasing and will affect 131.5 million by 2050, mostly in these countries.
- Research shows many people with dementia do not feel part of their community and want more understanding from others on how to support them.
- Living with dementia impacts familiar ways of living but people can "re-narrate" their everyday lives through new social networks and support systems to live more independently.
- The concept of "narrative citizenship" explores how
RIWC_Lord Filkin
The document discusses the global trend of population aging, with three key points:
1) The world's population over 65 will increase by 230 million by 2025, with Asia becoming the oldest region.
2) People are now living 35 years longer on average than in 1970, presenting opportunities but also challenges for health and social systems.
3) Governments will need to address the growing fiscal burden of pensions, health care, and disability support for a longer-living population with fewer workers.
02 positivism social eco chicago school
The summary discusses the key ideas and findings of the Chicago School of sociology from 1914-1934:
1) Sociologists like Robert Park studied cities as natural areas and proposed theories like the concentric zone model to explain urban social organization.
2) Shaw and McKay mapped juvenile delinquency rates and found they decreased moving outward from the city center, which they linked to factors like poverty, instability, and weak community controls in inner zones.
3) Though criticized for ecological fallacy and treating crime as a measure of social disorganization, the Chicago School established urban sociology and the importance of community factors like collective efficacy in preventing crime.

Rev. Richard McCreary and the congregation of New Covenant Baptist Church invited Natalie Chadwell and Jim Bloyd to present and facilitate a discussion Sunday, February 19th, 2012 on why place is an important factor in determining the health of residents.
Understanding social problems
This document discusses social issues and problems. It defines a social problem as a social condition that a segment of society views as harmful and in need of remedy. It discusses the objective and subjective elements of social problems, including how social conditions are made aware through life experiences and media reports, and the belief that a condition is harmful. It also outlines the key elements of social structure, including institutions, social groups, statuses, roles, and culture.
Poverty, Concentrated Poverty, and the Lived Experience in Dallas
This document summarizes a presentation on poverty in Dallas, Texas. It defines poverty and outlines federal poverty thresholds. It then examines poverty rates in Dallas, finding that from 2000-2014 the number of people in poverty grew 49% while the population only grew 8%. Certain groups were disproportionately impacted, with the number of children and Hispanics in poverty growing by over 50%. The presentation discusses the consequences of poverty and concentrated poverty, such as limited access to services and negative impacts on brain development. It calls for actions to address poverty through providing security, life opportunities, and other assistance.
Social problems
This document discusses several social problems including drug addiction, alcoholism, sexually transmitted diseases, juvenile delinquency, and prostitution. It provides details on the behavioral and social factors that contribute to these issues, such as peer pressure, poverty, family dysfunction, and lack of education. The document also outlines government policies and programs aimed at preventing and managing social health problems in India. These include acts related to dowry prohibition, narcotics control, and rehabilitation of vulnerable groups like the handicapped.
Environmental justice presentation
The document discusses public health issues in Bridgeport, CT such as asthma rates, obesity rates, and how making data accessible and understanding the connections between public health, the environment, and social justice can help address these issues. Specifically, it notes that 19% of respondents in Bridgeport have asthma, with 15% hospitalized once in the past year and 19% more than once. It also states that obesity rates in Bridgeport are the highest in the state, with more people in the morbidly obese category than in Connecticut or the US overall.

Women’s rights are human rights. But in these troubled times, as our world becomes more unpredictable and chaotic, the rights of women and girls are being reduced, restricted and reversed.
Empowering women and girls is the only way to protect their rights and make sure they can realize their full potential.
Historic imbalances in power relations between men and women, exacerbated by growing inequalities within and between societies and countries, are leading to greater discrimination against women and girls. Around the world, tradition, cultural values and religion are being misused to curtail women’s rights, to entrench sexism and defend misogynistic practices.

Teenage homelessness
This document discusses teenage homelessness. It estimates that between 1.6-2.8 million teens experience homelessness in the US each year. Common causes of teen homelessness include family and economic problems. LGBT homeless youth face higher risks of drug addiction, abuse, and mental health issues than non-LGBT homeless teens. Effective outreach requires building trust, offering a range of services, and ensuring access to information.

This document discusses structural interventions to address HIV/AIDS, specifically how strengthening women's property rights can help reduce HIV transmission. It notes that a lack of secure property rights for women can lead to homelessness, food insecurity, and exchanging sex for goods, fueling the spread of HIV. Ensuring women's legal right to own and inherit property could help empower them economically and give them more autonomy over their sexual relationships. However, measuring the impact of such interventions on HIV outcomes faces challenges due to social and cultural factors surrounding land ownership.
Impact of inequality dartington
The document discusses various forms of inequality in the UK including income, wealth, health, and educational inequality. It notes that the poorest have gotten poorer, health inequality results in those in poor neighborhoods dying 7 years earlier, and only 32% of children from routine job families get good GCSE scores. Inequality is linked to higher costs to society from lost productivity, higher benefits and NHS costs, as well as issues like higher prison populations that are correlated with factors like low income and education. The document suggests inequality may undermine social cohesion and trust in a society.

This document examines poverty trends on the North Shore of Massachusetts. It finds that poverty is concentrated in four cities - Salem, Beverly, Gloucester and Peabody - which together account for 71% of the subregion's poor residents. Poverty has increased overall since 2000 and is becoming more prevalent among non-family households and families without spouses present. However, poverty trends have diverged across municipalities, with some towns seeing rises in poverty while others have remained steady or seen declines. The document outlines challenges faced by those in suburban poverty, including lack of access to services and transportation difficulties.ICT for social inclusion of Elderly

This document summarizes a study that examined the relationship between residential ethno-religious diversity, social capital, and health perceptions among residents in England. The study used data from the 2009-2012 Citizenship Survey merged with 2011 Census data to analyze over 18,000 individuals across nearly 2,000 neighborhoods. Multilevel modeling was used to assess whether health perceptions varied by ethnicity and religion in diverse neighborhoods, and whether neighborhood social capital and relationships mediated the association between diversity and individual health perceptions. Key explanatory variables included diversity measures, socioeconomic status, and scales assessing social cohesion, informal social interaction, diverse social networks, social trust, and institutional trust.

Rural and non-rural sexual minority youth showed similar health indicators, with a few exceptions. Rural sexual minority youth reported poorer mental health, lower safety, and higher substance use than both rural and non-rural heterosexual youth. Compared to heterosexual youth, sexual minority youth of both urbanicities were more likely to engage in social/political activities, perhaps to connect with a supportive community. While urbanicity differences have decreased for sexual minority youth, their health outcomes still lag behind heterosexual peers, highlighting ongoing disparities.

This document summarizes a study examining the relationship between residential ethno-religious diversity and the mental health of 10-15 year olds in the UK. The study uses data from the UK Household Longitudinal Study and 2011 UK Census data to analyze diversity scores and mental health scores at the neighborhood level, while controlling for individual and family demographic factors. The study finds that greater neighborhood diversity is associated with poorer mental health outcomes in youth, and that maternal perceptions of neighborhood facilities, resources, and social relationships can help explain differences in mental health between youth in more vs less diverse neighborhoods. Multilevel modeling is used to analyze the data.
Ageism, Healthy Life Expectancy and Population.pdf
1) Using data from 57 countries, the study classified individuals into three categories of ageist attitudes - low, moderate, and high. 44% of individuals were classified as having low ageist attitudes, 32% moderate, and 24% high.
2) Individuals in low- and middle-income countries were more likely to have high ageist attitudes, while individuals in high-income countries were more likely to have low ageist attitudes.
3) The study also classified countries into three categories based on aggregated individual responses - highly ageist, moderately ageist, and minimally ageist. 34 of the 57 countries were classified as moderately or highly ageist.
Online Mutual Aid Group Activity in the UK
1) There are differences in levels of online mutual aid group activity across local authorities in the UK, with wealthier areas generally having more groups and higher levels of engagement.
2) The strongest predictor of mutual aid group engagement is household income - there are more groups and members in richer local authorities. In contrast, more deprived local authorities have fewer groups and members.
3) Feelings of loneliness are associated with local authorities that have lower household incomes, higher COVID mortality rates, and less social trust - the areas most in need of support.

Abstract
Population health tends to be better in societies where income is more
equally distributed. Recent evidence suggests that many other social
problems, including mental illness, violence, imprisonment, lack of
trust, teenage births, obesity, drug abuse, and poor educational per-
formance of schoolchildren, are also more common in more unequal
societies. Differences in the prevalence of ill health and social problems
between more and less equal societies seem to be large and to extend
to the vast majority of the population. Rather than referencing all the
literature, this paper attempts to show which interpretations of these
relationships are consistent with the research evidence. After discussing
their more important and illuminating characteristics, we conclude that
these relationships are likely to reflect a sensitivity of health and social
problems to the scale of social stratification and status competition,
underpinned by societal differences in material inequality.

WHAT HAS TO BE EXPLAINED
Better Health in More Equal Societies
The first evidence of a tendency for societies
with lower income inequality to have better
health came from an international cross-
sectional analysis of 56 rich and poor countries.
Life expectancy and infant mortality were
regressed against national income per capita
and the Gini coefficient of income distribution
(Rodgers 1979). The paper concluded that
[t]he most striking result is the consistent sig-
nificance of the income distribution variable.
This is a very robust conclusion which holds
across a variety of specifications. . . . The re-
sults for life expectancy at birth suggest that
the difference in average life expectancy be-
tween a relatively egalitarian and relatively
inegalitarian country is likely to be as much
as five to ten years (p. 350).
There are now as many as 200 analyse.
Research methods final project
- The document discusses a research project examining factors that influence poverty rates in America, specifically looking at incarceration, health, income, and race.
- The researchers hypothesized that ethnic minorities with low incomes who are incarcerated are more likely to experience poverty due to barriers to employment and healthcare access after prison.
- Analysis of 2012 GSS survey data found those with criminal records were more likely to come from low-income backgrounds, supporting the hypothesis. However, relationships between other variables like health were less clear. Overall, the findings confirm race and income influence recidivism and perpetuation of poverty.
Understanding differences in life satisfaction between local authority areas:...
The document analyzes differences in life satisfaction between local authority areas in England based on data from the 2011/12 Annual Population Survey. Some key findings include:
- Life satisfaction varied significantly between local authority areas, ranging from 7.1 to 8.1 out of 10 on average.
- Areas with higher levels of unemployment, disability, and poor health tended to have more residents reporting very low life satisfaction between 0-4. Rural areas were associated with slightly higher satisfaction.
- Areas with larger rural populations, more retired residents or younger couples without children, and higher senses of belonging reported higher proportions of residents with high life satisfaction of 9-10.
The analysis suggests tailoring actions to populations with very low versus
Review social capital and health inequity
1) The document reviews literature on the role of neighbourhood social capital in health inequalities among children and adolescents. 2) It finds mixed results, with only two of five studies confirming that social capital mediates the association between neighbourhood deprivation and health/well-being in adolescents. 2) Two other studies found social capital is especially beneficial for children in deprived neighbourhoods, though two other studies did not find this interaction effect. 3) Due to differences in outcomes studied, definitions of social capital, and overlap between social capital and SES measures, the mixed findings are unclear.

Health Psychology of Urbanicity: Does it Increase Violent Behavior within Ado...Joseph White MPA CPM
This document provides background information for a research study examining whether factors related to urban living increase the likelihood of violent criminal behavior in adolescents. The study aims to identify scientific risk factors and create an equation to assess the probability of violence. Some potential risk factors discussed include access to quality education, race, and gender. The researcher hopes to determine practical crime reduction methods and increase safety in urban communities. The literature review discusses topics like the relationship between education and crime rates, impacts of unemployment, and how racial injustices can fuel conflicts. The goal is to better understand adolescent development and behavior within urban environments.Community Contributions Infographic

The defence of teaching philosophy as the noble discipline to the teachers
As students of philosophy there has always been a wonder about what the work of philosophers is and
what do they teach their students. The wonder of this nature becomes manifest when one has to become one of the
philosophers himself. Having heard it as a saying that “to err is human”, it then becomes inevitable to wonder
humans are really what they perceive themselves as or something else. One of the crucial things to note is that if
humans get deceived in the perception of themselves then all what they engage in will not be authentically of
service to humanity. This speaks to the issue of the way in which human interactions are guided by their will or, if
true, something in a form of a supernatural being outside themselves. Exploring such mindboggling issues around
human existence might guide a philosopher of education to understand what really makes a person be, and at what
point do philosophical teachings make guided students. In most cases students want to receive fair and just
education. But without teachings of critical thinking that philosophers of education emphasize, teachers will
always delve into matters of morality and forget the thought aspect that forms the basis of teaching itself. Although
morality in any form of education is paramount, but it is most important to at least know the fundamental
underpinnings of that morality. When teachers do not study philosophy their understanding of the applied
curriculum remains shallow and proper application of it might be hindered. Without saying that morality
education and curriculum knowledge is non-profiting, the argument here is that it is always most beneficial to
know the foundations of those things from their philosophical beginnings. It is in that backdrop that usage of
analytic theoretical framework will be employed in this paper to explore errors and other accurate uncertainties
that make life and its experiences almost certain
Marvin Peters - 4996 Final
This document summarizes a research paper that examines the association between low income and mental health issues in the United States using data from the 2012 General Social Survey. The paper finds that Americans with the lowest incomes, earning $0-25k annually, are more likely to report experiencing stress, depression or emotional problems at least one day per month compared to higher-income groups. This adds to previous mixed research on the relationship between income/income inequality and mental health. The paper controls for demographic factors and discusses how financial hardship and lack of resources may increase mental distress for low-income individuals.
SDH and Basic Measurments in Epid.22 (1).pdf
Social determinants of health are factors that influence individual and population health outcomes. These factors include the physical environment, social and economic conditions, and health behaviors. They account for a significant degree of variability in how long and how well people live. Key social determinants include access to healthcare, income/socioeconomic status, education, physical environment, social support systems, employment status, and community safety. Addressing social determinants through multisectoral policies and interventions can help reduce health inequalities within and between countries.

Poster_FINAL
1. The document analyzes the relationship between health literacy, demographic factors, and disparities in health insurance coverage using a nationally representative sample of U.S. adults.
2. It finds that lower health literacy directly predicts lack of health insurance, and that health literacy mediates the impact of race/ethnicity, education, and other factors on insurance coverage.
3. The results suggest health literacy initiatives should target systemic barriers to improve access to health insurance for vulnerable groups defined by demographics and socioeconomic status.

This study examines factors that influence gender differences in self-esteem among middle school students. It hypothesizes that perceived gender discrimination mediates the relationship between gender and self-esteem. The study finds that perceived discrimination has the strongest negative impact on self-esteem. Peer relationships have a greater influence on self-esteem than family or teacher relationships. Younger middle school students tend to have higher self-esteem than older students.

This study examined the relationship between health literacy, attitudes, and beliefs related to HIV testing among African Americans. The authors hypothesized that higher health literacy would predict more positive attitudes toward HIV testing, even after controlling for other factors. They surveyed 172 African Americans and found that higher health literacy significantly predicted more positive testing attitudes. Prior HIV testing, religious importance, views of HIV as a gay disease, and beliefs about condoms also impacted testing attitudes. The authors concluded that interventions should address multiple factors beyond just self-efficacy to help reduce health disparities.
State of Recession in Rural NC
The document discusses unemployment rates, workforce changes, and economic challenges in rural North Carolina from 2007-2009. It shows that rural counties generally had higher unemployment rates than urban counties during this period. The manufacturing, retail, and wholesale sectors declined significantly in rural areas while the service sector grew. It also notes increasing poverty, home foreclosures, and numbers of people exhausting unemployment benefits in rural North Carolina during the recession.
NC Economic Workforce Situtation
The document summarizes North Carolina's economic and workforce situation as of June 30, 2009. Unemployment rates were high, reaching 11.1% in North Carolina. Many people were receiving food stamps and homes were being foreclosed. The recession had caused widespread job losses, especially impacting manufacturing and dislocated workers. Recovery was expected to be slow and difficult, with challenges including high poverty levels, lower wages in new jobs, and effects continuing even after the economy improves.

This study examines differences in violence between black and white adolescent females and the role of school identity. The researchers hypothesized that 1) black females would report higher levels of violence, 2) identifying as a good student would reduce violence, and 3) stress, anger, and peers would help explain racial differences in violence. Analyses found black females reported twice as much violence but identifying as a good student reduced violence for all. Strong student identity buffered the impact of race such that black females committed less violence than white females if they valued being good students. The findings suggest marginalized identities and commitment to academics influence adolescent female violence.

The typical problem in product engineering is not bad strategy, so much as “no strategy”. This leads to confusion, lack of motivation, and incoherent action. The next time you look for a strategy and find an empty space, instead of waiting for it to be filled, I will show you how to fill it in yourself. If you’re wrong, it forces a correction. If you’re right, it helps create focus. I’ll share how I’ve approached this in the past, both what works and lessons for what didn’t work so well.
Apps Break Data
How information systems are built or acquired puts information, which is what they should be about, in a secondary place. Our language adapted accordingly, and we no longer talk about information systems but applications. Applications evolved in a way to break data into diverse fragments, tightly coupled with applications and expensive to integrate. The result is technical debt, which is re-paid by taking even bigger "loans", resulting in an ever-increasing technical debt. Software engineering and procurement practices work in sync with market forces to maintain this trend. This talk demonstrates how natural this situation is. The question is: can something be done to reverse the trend?

Essentials of Automations: Exploring Attributes & Automation Parameters
Building automations in FME Flow can save time, money, and help businesses scale by eliminating data silos and providing data to stakeholders in real-time. One essential component to orchestrating complex automations is the use of attributes & automation parameters (both formerly known as “keys”). In fact, it’s unlikely you’ll ever build an Automation without using these components, but what exactly are they?
Attributes & automation parameters enable the automation author to pass data values from one automation component to the next. During this webinar, our FME Flow Specialists will cover leveraging the three types of these output attributes & parameters in FME Flow: Event, Custom, and Automation. As a bonus, they’ll also be making use of the Split-Merge Block functionality.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.
