This document discusses the concept of resilience and risks to resilience. It defines resilience as the ability to recover from difficulties and adapt well in challenging circumstances. Resilience is influenced both by internal factors like personality as well as external environmental supports. The document outlines several categories of risk factors that can threaten resilience at the personal, relationship, community, and cultural levels. These include things like poverty, family dysfunction, discrimination, violence, and lack of resources. It emphasizes that risks often interact cumulatively rather than in isolation to influence outcomes. The conclusion provides lessons about overcoming challenges and persevering despite difficulties.

Homelessness
Homelessness is defined as living in housing that is below minimum standards or lacks secure tenure. There are three main types of homelessness: chronic, transitional, and episodic. Chronic homelessness affects older or injured people who are homeless long-term, while transitional homelessness usually results from a short-term catastrophic event and affects younger people. Episodic homelessness frequently moves people in and out of homelessness and affects younger people dealing with issues like abuse, unemployment, or mental/medical problems. Homelessness can be caused by structural factors like changes in the housing market or employment opportunities, or personal factors such as victimization, mental illness, substance abuse, low education, poor work history, or early childbearing.

A Global Education ( A Presentation By Ebele Mogo, DrPH)
The document summarizes a keynote presentation by Ebele Mogo on achieving a global education. Mogo argues that as the world becomes more interconnected, all students need a global perspective integrated into their education. International students can help provide this perspective and be a resource by sharing their diverse experiences. However, schools need to change their view of global health and see international students as a mutual partnership rather than a specialty. Recruiting more international students, supporting them financially, incorporating global examples into classes, and tapping into students' international networks and experiences can help schools achieve this global education.
Culture shock theory
The document discusses culture shock theory and identifies four common stages of culture shock: fun, flight, fight, and fit. It describes each stage, from the initial excitement of cultural differences during the "honeymoon" stage, to the distress of homesickness and confusion, to re-integration and eventual independence as one accepts and embraces their new cultural environment. Coping strategies like keeping in touch with home, focusing on controllable factors, seeking help, and comparing/contrasting cultures are presented to help overcome culture shock. The document argues that experiencing culture shock through these stages is a significant learning experience that increases cultural awareness.

The document discusses transitions faced by young people and how their quality of life is impacted. It addresses topics like education, employment, health, housing, and relationships. Three generations of youth are examined from the 1960s to the 2000s, noting changing social expectations and opportunities. Research is mentioned that explores the paradox between increasing qualifications and decreasing job opportunities. The conclusion questions whether today's youth have been sacrificed or betrayed without guarantees of jobs or training, and calls for engagement and diverse opportunities to support young people.
Youth & Mid-life (Two cross sections of Global Society) (2014)
The document discusses two cross sections of global society - the young and the middle aged. It notes that youth are filled with anxiety over issues like debt, housing costs, and political instability. They look to the past to build identities and see problems like climate change as their enemies. The middle aged, known as the "sandwich generation", provide financial and emotional support to both aging parents and grown children, creating a stressful life. Both groups share anxieties about the future and financial insecurity.

Combating the Debt Addiction
This document discusses the role of private debt and credit growth in economic stability. It argues that pre-crisis orthodoxy viewed low inflation as sufficient for stability, but private debt growth fueled asset price booms and recessions. Credit growth for real estate and existing assets does not directly stimulate GDP but can inflate prices. To promote stability, policy should constrain private leverage growth and the dominance of real estate lending through higher bank capital requirements and countercyclical policies.
Combating the Debt Addiction
Ulf Dahlsten gave a presentation at the Stockholm School of Economics on March 22nd, 2014 about combating debt addiction and stabilizing the financial system. He argued that more needs to be done as the system has issues like extreme pro-cyclicality, underestimating endogenous risks, excessive money creation, growing private debts, asset inflation, and complexity. He focused on these problems and asked questions about addressing excessive money creation, the danger of private debt buildup, curbing asset inflation without hurting the economy, and what central banks, regulators, and politicians can do to help.

Trust in a green economy
The document defines a green economy as one that is low-carbon, resource-efficient, and socially inclusive according to the UNEP. It also includes a diagram showing the interdependencies between different levels of trust, politics, markets, resources, and social relations that are necessary for a sustainable green economy. Weaknesses in any of these areas can undermine the transition to a green economy.
Research questions for a green, inclusive economy
This document summarizes a presentation on research questions for a green, inclusive economy. The presentation covered three main topics:
1. Metrics - It discussed developing alternative metrics to GDP like national wealth accounts and a prosperity metric based on solving human problems.
2. Vision - It addressed the need for systems thinking and considering renewable vs. exhaustible natural resources.
3. Transition - Key research questions were presented around the politics and innovation required for an economic transition, including governance mechanisms, necessary institutions, and business models within planetary boundaries.
The presentation concluded by noting the career prospects for economists to work on these important transition questions and called for mutual understanding between disciplines.
A critical review and considerations: Green economy, what is it?
This document provides a summary and critique of a proposal to build models for a sustainable Germany by 2040. It notes that the proposal makes some good points but its economic understanding is still simplistic and it is insufficient in design and scope. The summary recommends using systems analysis throughout, integrated assessment modeling to analyze past data and scenarios, and involving experienced systems analysts. It concludes that the proposal has some blind spots and needs to better connect the whole system, address issues like population and trade, and engage policy/government to enable real paradigm shifts.

EED - The Container Port PERFORMANCE INDEX 2023
El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
