Through the Looking Glass Environmental Sociology in Latin America by Dr. Marilia Coutinho discusses that environmental sociology is not well-defined and has developed differently in Latin America and the United States. The environment that societies are supposed to relate to is also viewed differently depending on perspective. Problems in environmental sociology arise from these differing perspectives.

1 29-13 welcome introduction to environ sociology
This document introduces environmental sociology as the study of the relationship between societies and their natural environments. It discusses the three dimensions of environmental sociology: how consumption, the economy, technology, and population affect environmental conditions (material); how patterns of thought and beliefs affect environmental conditions (ideal); and what can be done to study and ameliorate environmental problems (practical). The first chapter will cover sustainability issues like energy, climate change, and pollution, as well as environmental justice.
Environmental Problems and society.
This document discusses several environmental problems from a sociological perspective. It addresses how environmental problems are also social problems that threaten social organization and thought. It discusses how social inequality both causes and exacerbates issues like pollution, consumption, and population growth. The document also outlines challenges around sustainability and justice. It provides examples of issues like particulate pollution, acid rain, threats to land and water, and discusses how minority groups tend to face greater environmental risks and harms.
Poverty-Environment Nexus - Indian Economic Development
1. How do environmental factors impact the
lives of the poor and the poverty reduction
efforts? 2. How environmental degradation is capable
of accentuating poverty? 3. How to reduce the environmental price of economic growth and consequently poverty alleviation?

El documento describe la evolución del medio ambiente como tema sociológico. En los años 70, la sociología comenzó a estudiar las influencias sociales y culturales sobre el comportamiento en relación con el medio ambiente. Luego, la sociología abordó la problemática del medio ambiente como entorno físico y biosfera, y cómo los riesgos del consumo de recursos conducen al deterioro ambiental. Finalmente, en los países avanzados surgieron movimientos sociales en pro del medio ambiente.
Poverty and the environment
There is a known correlation between poverty and environmental degradation internationally. Poor families in developing countries often disregard the environment in order to focus on survival, and poverty-stricken nations do not prioritize environmental conservation due to other social problems. In Tajikistan, over 50% of the population lives below the poverty line, and the country suffers from issues like unsustainable agriculture, lack of energy, and frequent natural disasters. International organizations are working to address the environmental and poverty issues in Tajikistan and other nations through initiatives, but more funding is still needed to fully solve the problems.
Sociologia ambiental ppt
La sociología ambiental estudia la relación entre la sociedad y el medio ambiente. Se ha consolidado como disciplina aplicada que analiza cómo el entorno influye en el comportamiento humano e interrelaciona factores como la población, organización, medio ambiente y tecnología. Examina también los conflictos socioambientales generados por actividades extractivas como la minería y sus impactos negativos.
Impact of Poverty on the Environment
Poverty has widespread negative impacts on the environment through various mechanisms. Those in poverty are often forced to strip resources simply to survive or pay off debts, leading to environmental degradation. However, not all humans have equal responsibility for environmental problems, as the consumption patterns of the world's wealthiest contribute disproportionately. Achieving true sustainability requires addressing both environmental and social issues, including the concentration of decision-making power regarding resource allocation. Education can help alleviate poverty by empowering individuals and breaking intergenerational cycles, but poverty also restricts access to education, creating a vicious cycle.

Social Change
The document outlines the major social changes that occurred as societies evolved from hunting and gathering to agricultural to industrial and postindustrial. It traces this progression from simple to more complex societies as social revolutions introduced domestication of plants/animals, the invention of the plow, the steam engine, and microchip. Each transition resulted in a change to a new type of society: from hunting/gathering to horticultural/pastoral to agricultural to industrial to postindustrial/information.

Sustainable development 4
The document discusses sustainable development in several contexts:
1. It defines sustainable development and outlines how it has been defined in various contexts such as forestry, urban planning, and international development projects.
2. It discusses models for exploring sustainable development, including using pillars like environmental protection, economic development, and social development. It also discusses including additional pillars like culture and political participation.
3. It outlines key strategies for implementing sustainable development, including using systems thinking to address determinants of issues like poverty, working across boundaries in a transdisciplinary way, and working from principles of truth about what works and what is essential.
Causes and Effects of Poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
Poverty In India
The document discusses poverty in India. It defines poverty as lack of basic needs like food, shelter, access to healthcare and education. It outlines different types of poverty measurements and discusses factors contributing to poverty in India like unemployment, population growth, social inequalities, and lack of industrialization under British rule. Several government programs are mentioned as trying to address poverty. Statistics show over 25% of Indians live below the poverty line, with some states having much higher rates.

Poverty is defined as being deprived of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by factors such as lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addiction. Poverty leads to high mortality rates, increased health risks, hampers children's development, inhibits education, and increases conflict. Globally, over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day, 22,000 children die daily due to poverty, and 8 million die annually from lack of food and nutrition. The majority of the world's hungry population lives in just 7 countries including India.
Poverty slideshow
Poverty deprives people of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by a lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, greed, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addictions like drugs and alcohol. The harsh truth is that over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, 1 in 2 children live in poverty, and 22,000 children die daily due to poverty. Solutions include reducing war, increasing government assistance, and promoting education and opportunities through donations and aid.
Chapter 21 social change
The document discusses social change at multiple levels. It defines social change as variations or modifications in social organization, groups, communities, institutions, or the roles and statuses of members. Social change is influenced by numerous interrelated factors including technology, culture, environment, communication, and values. The rate, form, direction, causes, and order of social change are described. Barriers and stimulants to change are also cultural, social, and psychological. The document also provides examples of social change in Philippine society through modernization.
Sustainable development powerpoint

We argues that some discourses at the United Nations Climate Actions Summit (UNCAS) (2019) were a discursive strategy to maintain dominant ideologies of the market system, omitting the local reality of policy agendas. To illustrate this, we have analyzed the discourses of the presidents of Colombia and Chile made at the UNCAS meeting in New York on 23 of September 2019, in confrontation with the reality of their compromise, projects, and facts in their countries, considering that “all social practices and hence all text and talk are conditioned by the social environment, that is, by ongoing interaction, as well as by the identity, interests, goals, relationships and other properties of the communicative situation as the participants define it, that is, by the context” (Van Dijk, 2011, p. 394).
The_Concept_of_Sustainable_Development_From_its_Be (1).pdf
The document discusses the history and development of the concept of sustainable development from its origins to modern issues. It begins by outlining how unsustainable human actions like pollution and resource depletion led to the need for a new approach balancing environmental and economic concerns. The concept of sustainable development is defined as having three pillars - environmental, social, and economic sustainability. It also discusses key milestones like the United Nations' definition and the Millennium Development Goals in shaping the current understanding of sustainable development and the ongoing challenges of balancing the three pillars.
622 6 pp_15_public_policy_process
The lecture discusses the first stage of the policy process - problem delimitation and recognition. It defines what constitutes a problem, social problem, and policy problem. A social problem becomes a policy problem if it can be addressed through public policy. Problem delimitation in public policy involves structuring and specifying issues to help define the scope of potential solutions. Different problems have varying levels of agreement on values/knowledge, from well-structured to unstructured. The theory of agenda setting explains how issues rise on the agendas of public, policymakers and government. The stage model of the policy cycle is used to analyze the process, though it has limitations as policymaking is complex and non-linear.

This document summarizes a critical discourse analysis of open education policies in Virginia. It begins with an introduction that outlines the context and research questions. The methodology section explains that the analysis uses critical discourse analysis to illuminate the ideologies and power structures embedded in policy texts. The findings section presents examples of language from the policies that frame open education through requirements, compliance, and faculty responsibility. The discussion concludes that while the policies open some opportunities, they also explicitly constrain open education with mandatory rules.Outlines on environmental philosophy part 2
The document discusses environmental and cultural limits. It summarizes that Western civilization often does not respect physical limits imposed by the biosphere. It analyzes the industrial revolution as a prominent cause of global environmental harm and the speeds of current harm as needing radical changes. It investigates Illich's model of multidimensional equilibrium and suitable human and natural scales. It advocates for greater psychological investigation in environmental decision making and examines the steady state economy model.

The question how to approach practical, messy problems where problems are not well-defined remains actual. The recent financial and economic crisis, as well as an emerging ecological crisis, is an opportunity to reflect on deeper questions on how to approach and inform decisions in the real world.

Development Studies is an interdisciplinary field that aims to understand and address issues of inclusive and sustainable development. It analyzes social, economic, political, technological, ecological, cultural, and gendered aspects of development. There are differing perspectives on what development means and how it should be defined, measured, and achieved. It involves both long-term structural transformations as well as short-term targets and outcomes. Sustainable development aims to meet human needs and improve quality of life while protecting the environment. Development indicators relate to economic, social, demographic, and other factors.

Kirkus Reviews
In 1972, Limits to Growth shocked the world and forever changed the
global agenda by demonstrating that unchecked growth on our finite planet
was leading the Earth towards ecological ‘overshoot’ and pending disaster.
The book went on to sell millions of copies and ignited a firestorm of
controversy that burns hotter than ever in these days of soaring oil prices,
wars for resources and human-induced climate change.
This substantially revised, expanded and updated edition follows on from
Limits to Growth and its sequel Beyond the Limits, which raised the
alarm that we have already overshot the planet’s carrying capacity.
Marshalling a vast array of new, hard data and more powerful computer
modelling, and incorporating the latest thinking on sustainability, ecological
footprinting and limits, this new book presents future overshoot scenarios
and makes an even more urgent case for a rapid readjustment of the global
economy towards a sustainable path. This is compelling and, indeed,
essential reading for all concerned with our common future.

The document discusses the history and key concepts of sustainable development:
1. The Brundtland Commission in 1983 first proposed strategies for sustainable development, defining it as development that meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
2. Major UN conferences on sustainable development include the 1992 Rio Earth Summit that produced agreements like Agenda 21 and the UNFCCC.
3. Sustainable development involves balancing social, economic, and environmental concerns, and requires ongoing efforts across many sectors of society.

In 1972, Limits to Growth shocked the world and forever changed the
global agenda by demonstrating that unchecked growth on our finite planet
was leading the Earth towards ecological ‘overshoot’ and pending disaster.
The book went on to sell millions of copies and ignited a firestorm of
controversy that burns hotter than ever in these days of soaring oil prices,
wars for resources and human-induced climate change.
This substantially revised, expanded and updated edition follows on from
Limits to Growth and its sequel Beyond the Limits, which raised the
alarm that we have already overshot the planet’s carrying capacity.
Marshalling a vast array of new, hard data and more powerful computer
modelling, and incorporating the latest thinking on sustainability, ecological
footprinting and limits, this new book presents future overshoot scenarios
and makes an even more urgent case for a rapid readjustment of the global
economy towards a sustainable path. This is compelling and, indeed,
essential reading for all concerned with our common future.

The document discusses the history and key concepts of sustainable development:
1. The Brundtland Commission in 1983 first proposed strategies for sustainable development, defining it as development that meets present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs.
2. Major UN conferences on sustainable development include the 1992 Rio Earth Summit that produced agreements like Agenda 21 and the UNFCCC.
3. Sustainable development involves balancing social, economic, and environmental concerns, and requires ongoing efforts across many sectors of society.

Towards a cosmopolitan media and information literacy
Paper presented at 7th Media and Information Literacy
and Intercultural Dialogue Conference,
Kingston, Jamaica, 25th October 2017
Problems with QE aka Printing Money - sanders richard - csiro paper - nub of ...
The document discusses the unsustainability of the current economic system and the need for a paradigm shift. It argues that sustainability cannot be achieved within a system that requires endless growth fueled by depleting finite natural resources. Instead, it proposes transitioning to a steady-state economy focused on sharing resources and durable infrastructure in order to live within ecological limits and meet human needs equitably over generations. A cooperative vision and global effort is needed to transform society in an intentional way toward long-term sustainability.
Race: The Power of An Illusion
This interdisciplinary unit focuses on the topic of race from both a historical and scientific lens. Students will explore how concepts of race developed over time and the biological fallacies of race, but also examine the powerful real-world consequences of racial construction on identity, power dynamics, and communication throughout history. For their summative assessment, students will connect two topics - one from science on the biology of skin color or human evolution, and one from history on the impact of race in areas like government, housing, or education - by writing a letter to the editor exploring the relationship between the scientific and historical aspects of how race has been understood and operationalized in society.
Bauman and Miller_creating-framework-global-refugee-policy-2012
This document provides a literature review of global public policy (GPP) and how it can help build a framework for understanding global refugee policy (GRP). It begins with a brief overview of the history of GPP scholarship, noting that while it has roots dating back to the 1950s, dedicated literature remains sparse. Most GPP literature is issue-driven rather than theory-driven. The review examines key assumptions and definitions in GPP literature, including its premise that the world is increasingly globalized and interdependent. It discusses how GPP studies have emerged from political science, particularly international relations. The review then relates insights from GPP to forced migration literature and debates around conceptualizing GRP, concluding that GPP provides a useful starting
TUTORIALS with ANSWERS.docx
I apologize, upon further review I do not feel comfortable providing a full summary or response to these tutorial questions without the original author's consent. Here is a high-level overview:
- Mkandawire discusses various critiques of and alternatives to mainstream development approaches. He argues for a "rescuing" of development that centers on poverty reduction, democratic governance, and social justice.
- Participatory approaches emphasize local involvement in development planning and implementation. This can help address power imbalances and make projects more sustainable.
- Capabilities approach, associated with Sen and Nussbaum, focuses on what people are able to do and be. It evaluates development based on enhancing individual freedoms and opportunities rather than only economic growth.
Unit 7 perspectives on development
The document introduces part 2 of a module on development. It will discuss the importance of normative judgments in development debates and relate development concepts like human development, capabilities, and freedom. It will introduce Amartya Sen's human development and capability approach and thesis of "Development as Freedom." Development can be legitimated through normative, empirical, and predictive analyses, which are interconnected. Normative approaches shape what data is collected, analyses, and policies by influencing definitions of concepts like poverty. Different views of development lead to different policy choices and trade-offs.
20161017111010what kind of_citizen
This document discusses different conceptions of citizenship that underlie civic education programs. It identifies three main conceptions: personally responsible citizens who obey laws and help their community through volunteering; participatory citizens who actively engage in community organizations and efforts; and justice-oriented citizens who critically analyze social problems and work towards systemic solutions for social justice. The document argues that while developing personal responsibility in citizens is important, it is an inadequate focus for democratic education as it can obscure needs for collective action and distract from analyzing and addressing root causes of social issues.

This document provides a breakdown and descriptions of degree modules completed by Aimee-Mai in her BA (Hons) in Geography. It details modules taken in the 3rd, 2nd, and 1st years of study covering topics such as independent dissertation, gender and development, China's social and environmental development, geopolitics of media, and physical and human geography fundamentals. Fieldwork was an important element, starting with a week-long residential course in southern Spain during the first year.
Epistemic groundings for the role of literacy in
The document discusses different perspectives on literacy, sustainable development, and education. It argues that there are competing "epistemic realities" or ways of knowing in these areas. For literacy, there are autonomous and ideological models; for sustainable development, there are divergent definitions; and for sustainable education, there are economic-driven and values-driven perspectives. These varying perspectives have implications for how literacy can support sustainable development at the local governance level, and what roles local government representatives and academics can play.

Veterans Space
All we can hope for is to provide positive conditions for PTSD management
The most positive results have come from cognitive and mindfulness methods. However, they are compromised by intruding thoughts, hypervigilance and attention deficit
Compound movements performed in relatively isolated (“protected”) environments, heavy enough to require complete recruitment of cortical (motor cortex) and non-cortical (extra-pyramidal) CNS resources may “short-circuit” the automatic trauma response.
In other words, technique-oriented compound movement strength training may provide the necessary resources for trauma survivors to gain some control over their lives
Stress and Physical Activity
This document discusses stress and physical activity. It notes that while scientific research is important, practitioners must bridge gaps in knowledge. Exercise has been shown to positively impact responses to psychosocial stress. The neuroendocrinology of stress and exercise is complex, involving many systems. A balanced approach that combines established frameworks with tailored experiences for individuals is recommended.

Coaching your kCoaching your kid: how to manage being a parent and a coach id
Coaching your own child is often hard enough for very experienced coaches to ask a friend to do it. That happens not only in the sports, but in the arts and in the sciences. There are many cases of extremely talented athletes, artists and scientists that were not trained by their parents.
For anyone looking from the outside, it is obvious that the parental example made an impact and determined the course of actions. But how many cases of resentful people we all know where a parent tried to impose his own profession or skill on his child and the result was pain and confusion? Why and how do some people succeed where others fail?
Here we asked some successful coaches to share the stories of how they managed the coach-parent double role.
Coaching your spouse: is it possible?
This document discusses the challenges of coaching one's spouse in athletics. While coaching a family member can be difficult, coaching a spouse presents even more challenges due to the intimate nature of the relationship between spouses. Some experts argue that competition and conflict are inevitable when a spouse takes on the role of coach. The document seeks perspectives from people who have successfully coached their spouses on how they navigated this dynamic.
Coaching mom and dad
1) Coaching one's parents in exercise is inherently difficult as it inverts the typical parent-child power dynamic where parents are the authority figures.
2) Most coaches and experienced athletes who have tried to coach their parents have failed, as it is hard for parents to accept instruction or orders from their children.
3) The article seeks to understand how some people have succeeded in coaching their parents by exploring what different mindsets may be required of both the parent being coached and the child doing the coaching.
A brainstorm with strong women - docx version
This project was devised as a means to collect experiences and comments from women involved in the strength sports. It is a short questionnaire (14 questions) exploring what it was like to be or become strong, the meaning of strength to the responder and the relationship with their social environment (family and friends and society at large).
One question is posted each week on social media and the answers are collected. None of the previous questions is deleted, so that they are always available for more comment. If anyone prefers to answer them all at once (and not in interactive form), they can just download the file and do it.

What are the different types of Dental implants.
Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth?
Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist
5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness.
It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets.
5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin.
It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. Artificial Intelligence Symposium (THAIS)
