Elder abuse is defined as a single or repeated act that causes harm or distress to an older person within a relationship where trust is expected. Common types of elder abuse include psychological, financial, physical, and neglect. Analyses found that adult children and spouses or partners are most often the abusers. Professionals and victims may discount abuse by believing it is not a problem or that nothing can be done. Institutional abuse involves the failure of an organization to provide an appropriate service for older adults. Signs of abuse include injuries, malnutrition, poor hygiene, and behavioral changes. Responding appropriately involves listening without judgment, documenting concerns, ensuring safety, and monitoring the situation.

Despite sanctions on its economy, the Kremlin continues to be an unrivalled exporter of nuclear power plants, building more than half of all reactors under construction globally. Read how Moscow is using these projects to wield global influence.
Today’s Energy Source dives into the latest Statistical Review of World Energy, the industry’s annual stocktake of global energy consumption. The report was published for more than 70 years by BP before it was passed over to the Energy Institute last year. The oil major remains a contributor.

New report offers sobering view of the energy transition
Every year the Statistical Review of World Energy offers a behemoth of data on the state of the global energy market. This year’s findings highlight the world’s insatiable demand for energy and the need to speed up the pace of decarbonisation.
Here are our four main takeaways from this year’s report:
Fossil fuel consumption — and emissions — are at record highs
Countries burnt record amounts of oil and coal last year, sending global fossil fuel consumption and emissions to all-time highs, the Energy Institute reported. Oil demand grew 2.6 per cent, surpassing 100mn barrels per day for the first time.
Meanwhile, the share of fossil fuels in the energy mix declined slightly by half a percentage point, but still made up more than 81 per cent of consumption.
