The document discusses issues related to women's health, including how medical research and treatment have historically been biased and focused on men. It also discusses how women's health movements have sought to address stereotyping, medicalization of natural bodily processes, and equity issues in healthcare quality and access. The medicalization of women's health refers to defining normal bodily functions as medical issues requiring treatment and authority.

Senior project proposal
This document is a senior project proposal that aims to address the growing needs of children, adolescents, and young adults coping with chronic illness while trying to lead normal lives. Nearly half of all people have a chronic condition, and divorce rates and suicide rates are high among the chronically ill. The proposal seeks to create a coping system and first step for the chronically ill to reach out for help and feel less alone by answering their questions and connecting them to a community for support. It will focus on those of working age and concentrate on gathering first-hand perspectives from people living with chronic illness to design a solution that can seamlessly blend into their lives to help them gain independence and knowledge about their condition and treatment.

The document also discusses models for analyzing health information and concerns about alternative medical therapies.
Unit 2 – Sociology Of Healthintro
The document discusses definitions of health from a sociological perspective. It introduces absolute versus relative definitions of health and how health is socially constructed and can mean different things to different cultures and groups within society. It also briefly outlines biomedical and traditional models of health and how health is generally measured through morbidity and mortality rates.
Chronic illness ppt
Chronic illnesses are health conditions that last over six months. Examples include cancer, heart disease, and arthritis. Factors that contribute to chronic illnesses include heredity, lifestyle, and environment. People with chronic illnesses have ongoing needs related to employment, financial support, health care, housing, and self-esteem. Their socioeconomic status, age, and any disabilities can impact their ability to access resources to manage their condition.
Coping with chronic illness
This document provides information and advice for coping with chronic illness. It discusses the importance of acceptance, maintaining a positive attitude, taking control through education and active participation in treatment, building support networks, managing stress, addressing potential depression or anxiety, quitting smoking if applicable, and finding appropriate resources and support groups.
Notes parsons
Parsons developed the sick role model in the 1950s to describe illness as a temporary, medically sanctioned form of deviant behavior. Key aspects of the model include that the sick are excused from normal duties if they seek medical advice and comply with treatment. The model draws on Freudian concepts like the doctor-patient relationship resembling a parent-child dynamic. While influential, criticisms of the model include that it does not consider power imbalances between doctors and patients or account for chronic illness. However, the sick role model still provides a framework for cross-cultural comparisons of how societies view deviant behavior and time away from duties.
Religious faith shortens hospital stays, aids recovery
Religious faith and prayer are linked to shorter hospital stays and faster recovery for cardiac patients according to a University of Michigan study of 224 patients who underwent open-heart surgery. The study found that religious patients felt more in control and had higher levels of optimism and hope due to their reliance on a higher spiritual power. They also had better mental health and less depression. Researchers believe surrendering control to God reduces stress for patients undergoing high-risk cardiac procedures. Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the US and costs over $350 billion per year.

Health & Medicine
This document discusses several key topics in sociology of medicine and health, including different perspectives on defining health and illness, the concept of the "sick role", and factors that influence health outcomes and access to healthcare. It also examines issues related to the medicalization and stratification of health, as well as threats to health such as HIV/AIDS, weight issues, drugs and harmful medical experiments.
Chronic illness
Chronic illnesses like heart disease, cancer, stroke, COPD, and diabetes are generally incurable and worsen over time. They are the major causes of death and health care costs in the US. Risky behaviors in youth and middle age such as smoking, poor diet, physical inactivity, obesity, and alcohol abuse put people at higher risk of developing chronic conditions. Adopting a healthy lifestyle through not smoking, eating well, exercising regularly, and limiting alcohol can help prevent chronic diseases and reduce their impact on one's health as they age.
The Impact of Culture
This document discusses HIV/AIDS and the importance of mental health care for those living with the virus. It provides information on common means of HIV transmission and current global statistics. Mental health care is shown to improve quality of life for those with HIV/AIDS by helping them cope with the illness. Barriers and cultural factors that impact access to mental health care are examined for African American, African, Chinese, and women/children populations living with HIV/AIDS. Instruments used to assess psychosocial stressors and mental health in these populations are also outlined.
Chronic Illness Presentation
This document discusses chronic illness management. It defines a chronic illness as a condition lasting 3 months or longer that can be unpredictable. Common chronic illnesses include heart disease, cancer, diabetes and arthritis. Risk factors include behaviors like smoking, poor diet and lack of exercise, as well as genetic predisposition. Chronic diseases account for most American deaths each year. Health psychology examines the biological, psychological and social factors related to illness and health. Clinical health psychologists help patients manage chronic conditions through cognitive and behavioral therapies.
Medical sociology and health service research - Journal of Health and social ...
This document summarizes key findings from medical sociology research on health services and systems over the past 50 years. It discusses three main findings: 1) Health services in the US are unequally distributed based on gender, socioeconomic status, and race, contributing to health inequalities. 2) Social institutions reproduce these inequalities by enabling or constraining actions of providers and consumers. 3) The structure and dynamics of health care organizations shape quality, effectiveness and outcomes for different groups in communities. The authors conclude by discussing implications for future health policy and reform efforts.
Presentation..health and medicine sick role
The document discusses the physician-patient relationship and the concept of the "sick role" according to Parsons. It describes expectations for both parties in the relationship, with the physician holding power/expertise and the patient being dependent. The physician uses techniques like professional prestige, situational authority, and the patient's dependency to promote the goal of improving health. Some argue medicine is used as a means of social control, with physicians defining what is deviant behavior versus illness. The sick role and physician-patient relationship help regulate human behavior and maintain social order.
Psychosocial aspects of cancer care by phillip odiyo
This document discusses the psychosocial aspects of cancer care and challenges with patient communication and survivorship. It outlines the complexity of psychosocial issues associated with cancer and how the doctor-patient relationship has evolved from a paternalistic model to one that emphasizes patient autonomy. Effective doctor-patient communication is important for clinical reasoning, patient satisfaction, and medication adherence. However, studies show that doctors often miss patients' main concerns and psychosocial problems. The document advocates for a patient-centered approach and communication styles like SPIKES and BATHE that focus on the patient's perspective and psychosocial context across the cancer care continuum.
Health Care101
This document summarizes key aspects of women's health, including leading causes of death and conditions that disproportionately affect women. It discusses health issues specific to women like reproductive health and cancers. It also explains how some common conditions like heart disease, lung cancer, and diabetes present differently and may be more severe for women. Ensuring women receive appropriate diagnosis and treatment requires addressing gaps in understanding these gender differences and improving access to women-centered healthcare.
Professor hugh mc kenna
This document summarizes research from the University of Central Florida (UCF) on men's health behaviors. It discusses findings from several studies on topics like men's attitudes towards cancer prevention and suicide in young men. The research found that men had less knowledge of cancer risks than women and were less likely to engage in prevention. For suicide, factors like unemployment, stress, and unwillingness to seek help were issues. The document concludes that gender, socioeconomic status, social support and involvement of community groups are key to effectively engaging men in health issues.
Sociology of health and illness wk 15 medical power
Medical power shapes our understanding of health and bodies. Through processes like medicalization and surveillance medicine, more aspects of life come under medical jurisdiction. This establishes medicine's authority and social control. The National Child Measurement Programme exemplifies how surveillance produces data to monitor populations while reinforcing self-discipline and normalizing certain bodies. Overall surveillance medicine constructs bodies as always requiring monitoring, expanding medicine's power in the guise of public health.
Healthinequalities
The document discusses health disparities, which are population-specific differences in disease presence, health outcomes, and access to healthcare. It provides examples of disparities based on race/ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability status. Certain racial/ethnic minority groups have higher rates of cancer, diabetes, AIDS, asthma, and other diseases. Women experience higher rates of certain diseases. LGBT populations also face some health disparities. Those with disabilities experience disparities as well. Intersectionality considers how factors like race, gender, etc. interact. Access barriers include communication issues, physical access, financial access, and a lack of trust due to past discrimination.
Tabloski ch09 lecture
This document discusses pain management in older adults from a nursing perspective. It covers defining pain and its consequences in older adults, appropriate pain assessment techniques, pharmacological and nonpharmacological pain treatment approaches, the nurse's role in pain treatment, and patient education guidelines. Specific topics include pain classification, managing acute and persistent pain, pain assessment tools, pharmacological options like the WHO pain ladder, managing side effects of pain medications, and complementary therapies. The goal of pain management is relieving pain while minimizing side effects.
Session 7 project
On August 10, I had the wonderful opportunity to work with a group of amazing individuals to assess the biases present in our current healthcare system. This project was a part of a summer intensive program through MedSTEMPowered.
linked in summary
Chronic illness poses a significant threat to health and the economy. It affects 80% of adults in industrial societies and accounts for 80% of healthcare spending. By 2017, spending on chronic illnesses in the U.S. is projected to reach $4.3 trillion. Lifestyle factors are the primary cause of chronic diseases, and lifestyle changes are more effective and less expensive than medical treatment in addressing chronic illnesses. However, lifestyle intervention is not adequately taught in healthcare educational programs. The document advocates for training healthcare providers to help patients adopt healthy lifestyle changes to better treat and prevent chronic diseases.
Distress in Cancer Patients
Cancer is one of the most common diseases in the world. Stress is a common experience among cancer patients.
National Comprehensive Cancer Network (2017) defines cancer-related psychological distress as an:
“ unpleasant emotional experience of a Mental, Physical, Social, or Spiritual nature. It can affect the way you think, feel, or act. Distress may make it harder to cope with having cancer, its symptoms, or its treatment. ”
Final presentation
The document discusses HIV/AIDS, providing information about what HIV is, how it leads to AIDS if untreated, and some of the history and statistics around HIV/AIDS in Washington D.C. and the U.S. It notes that African Americans have a disproportionately high rate of HIV infections and makes a case for mandatory HIV testing of students entering Howard University given the demographics.

Researchers analyzed data from 70 studies and found that social isolation was linked to an increased risk of early death, while social relationships positively influence health. A report found that obese women have a higher risk of developing certain cancers, including breast, pancreatic, and bowel cancers. A study showed that vitamin D supplements helped reduce chronic pain in patients. A small study suggests prenatal yoga may help ease depression in pregnant women. Research found that seatbelt use reduces risks of traumatic brain and other injuries from car accidents, though it doubles the risk of some back sprains. A long-term study found that daily multivitamin use was linked to an 8-27% lower risk of cancer diagnoses in older men.Health disparities
This document discusses health disparities faced by the African American community. It notes that health disparities have existed for over two centuries and little progress has been made to eliminate them. Some reasons for continued disparities include social and economic factors like poverty, lack of access to healthcare, and cultural beliefs around health. The document also provides examples of how certain language or behaviors considered respectful within one culture may be viewed differently in others and presents health data showing African Americans have higher rates of conditions like diabetes and hypertension than white people.
Tabloski ch23 lecture
The document discusses the immune system and aging. It outlines the three lines of defense of the immune system and describes the unique characteristics of self-recognition, specificity, and memory. Factors like age, stress, chronic illness, exercise and diet can affect immune functioning. Both excessive and deficient immune responses are covered. Nursing interventions focus on health promotion, education, and prevention of infectious diseases in older patients.
Prioritizing Care for Older Adults with Complex Health Status
This document discusses prioritizing care for older adults with complex health issues. It notes that 50% of adults over 65 have 3 or more chronic conditions, and treating all conditions for any individual may be dangerous or impractical. It proposes a framework for prioritizing care that considers a patient's preferences, experiences, health status, life expectancy, and the risks and benefits of interventions. The framework aims to focus on a patient's goals and consider treatment impact in the context of their life through participatory decision making.

Three digital trends for the new decade by steve rubel
Three key digital trends are emerging for the new decade:
1. Marketing strategies will need to be real-time to engage customers on social media and respond rapidly to trends.
2. Marketing efforts will need to have high digital visibility on search engines and social platforms to be found by customers.
3. Data and insights from analytics will be crucial for building targeted, personalized marketing campaigns and products that meet customer needs.
Mobile marketing
Mobile marketing is becoming more common with new technologies. Some examples include interactive billboards that allow people to design shoes and see their design displayed, smartphone photo contests where people can win prizes by finding and photographing promotional items, and TV shows offering mobile wallpapers and games for additional revenue.

Three digital trends for the new decade by steve rubel
Three digital trends for the new decade by steve rubel
More from Sarah Rainey
Terrorist assemblages
This document summarizes and comments on chapters 1-4 and the conclusion of the book "Terrorist Assemblages". It discusses key concepts from the book like homonationalism, the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, and the Lawrence v. Texas Supreme Court case. Several sections analyze how queer and Muslim identities have been constructed and surveilled through nationalist and militarized means. The document raises questions about how bodies become militarized and surveyed, and whether the concept of "assemblages" provides a better framework than intersectionality for understanding identity politics.
Development,
Dr. Sarah Rainey's talk discussed women's roles in development and how nature is often associated with women, critiquing the separation of nature and culture. She addressed topics like food security, biotechnology, genetic engineering, subsistence versus corporate farming, and water privatization in relation to environmental, health, and development issues that particularly impact women.
Politics of human trafficking
The document defines human trafficking according to the UN Protocol as the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of persons through force, coercion, fraud or abuse of power for the purpose of exploiting them through prostitution, forced labor, slavery, or organ removal. It estimates that the number of trafficking victims at any given time ranges from 2.5 to 27 million according to different organizations, with estimates varying widely from 4 to 27 million.
Human rights
This document outlines 3 generations of human rights and discusses positive and negative rights. The first generation are civil and political rights. The second are economic, social and cultural rights. The third are a mixed group of additional rights. Positive rights are obligations of a state to protect and fulfill rights, while negative rights are freedoms from interference by the state. International organizations that support and enforce human rights include the International Criminal Court, United Nations, and non-governmental organizations like Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Post colonialism and contemporary global capitalism
The document discusses post-colonialism and some of its key theories and analyses, including neocolonialism and economic militarization. It also touches on Marxism and some of its basic concepts like constant capital, variable capital, surplus value, use value and exchange value. Additionally, it mentions dialectical materialism and how nothing is "merely cultural." The final topic discussed is the "New Mestiza" concept.
Colonialism, imperialism, & women
The document discusses the conditions that facilitate empire expansion, including new technology, cheap labor, capital accumulation, and foreign market development. It also examines the rationalizations used for empire, such as race, Christianity, and the pursuit of money and wealth. Empire expansion is facilitated by factors like technology and economics, while being rationalized through ideas around race, religion, and financial motivations.
Third world feminism
The document discusses different terms used to describe divisions in the world based on economic development and geography. It also examines the differences between Western feminism and indigenous or Third World feminisms, exploring concepts like hegemonic feminism, oppositional consciousness, and tactical subjectivity. Third Wave and Third World feminisms are situated within discussions of transnational public spheres, globalization, and technology.
Feminist & queer theory 101
This document discusses key concepts in feminist thought and queer theory, including performativity, the heterosexual matrix, critiques of queer theory from feminists, and possibilities of queer theory in rethinking norms. It also provides historical context for waves of feminist thought from the 19th century to today and discusses benefits and drawbacks of the wave metaphor.
Real women have curves (2002)
Real Women Have Curves is a 2002 film directed by Patricia Cardoso that was produced by HBO and released theatrically after success at the Sundance Film Festival. It is based on a play by Josefina López that explores female subjectivity and intersectionality through the perspectives of the main characters Ana and Estella, examining issues of class, gender, and ethnicity.
Women & work rev
This document provides a history of women's participation in the labor force from pre-industrial times through today. It discusses how women's roles shifted from work inside the home historically to greater participation in the public workforce during World War II. While three-quarters of women now work full-time, they still face issues like a gender wage gap, occupational segregation, and underrepresentation in leadership roles. The text also reviews related topics such as legal protections and challenges, welfare policies, and debates around affirmative action that have impacted women's work.
Women and mental illness
The document discusses how gender expectations placed on women can negatively impact mental health, as traits considered feminine were historically also viewed as signs of mental illness. In the 1800s, women experiencing hysteria were thought to have a wandering womb, and the suggested treatment was rest. Betty Friedan's book The Feminine Mystique explored how societal pressures created a problem for women that had no name.
Women and addiction
Women are more susceptible to addiction and the negative consequences of substance abuse according to statistics. They intoxicate faster than men from alcohol and experience consequences sooner and more severely. More young girls aged 12-17 use various harmful drugs like cocaine, crack, and abuse prescription drugs than boys. Women are turning to substances like alcohol, smoking, and drugs to cope with lack of control, body image issues, and as a way to cope with life stresses.
On being a citizen
Dr. Sarah Rainey discusses the concept of citizenship and who counts as a citizen. She notes that citizenship is influenced by race, gender, class, and other factors. Additionally, she explores how state actions and policies can have different impacts on men and women. Dr. Rainey also examines the historical connections between concepts of "civilization", masculinity, and femininity as well as the public and private spheres.
Beauty & body modification
This document discusses various topics related to beauty, body modification, and empowerment. It covers female genital mutilation/cutting, plastic surgery procedures like labiaplasty and rhinoplasty, cosmetic products containing potentially harmful chemicals, hair products containing coal tar and other chemicals, and considers when body modifications can be a source of expression, empowering, or harmful practices.
The waves
The document discusses the drawbacks of categorizing feminist thought and activism into "waves". While the wave model provides a convenient shorthand, it oversimplifies the issues by focusing only on Western experiences, implying linear progress between waves, and questions who belongs to each wave as many issues span generations. The waves also described are: first wave from the mid-1800s to 1920 focused on suffrage; second wave from the 1960s to 1980s on reproductive rights and pay equity; and third wave from the 1990s to present on sexuality and pop culture.
History of feminist activism
The document outlines the history of feminist activism starting in the 19th century, mentioning several prominent early female reformers involved in the temperance, abolition, labor, and suffrage movements. It then lists the key organizations formed over time in the fight for women's suffrage, culminating in the National Woman's Party in 1912.
Disability and impairment
This document discusses critiques of the social model of disability and debates around terminology related to disability, race, sex, and gender. It touches on the physical/biological and social construction aspects of these concepts and critiques the binary of viewing them as solely biological or social influences. It also raises questions around the use of terms like "disability" versus person-first language.
Medicalization and manufacturing health
Dr. Sarah Rainey questions where to draw the line between health and sickness and what defines intelligence. She argues that normal bodily processes are increasingly seen as diseases requiring medical treatment rather than natural variations.
Health policy & difference
Healthcare policies can be rules governing research and treatment, such as the Nuremberg Code and Declaration of Helsinki. They also include insurance regulations regarding premiums, deductibles, and coverage of certain procedures. Global initiatives and treaties aim to standardize healthcare internationally. Laws exist at federal, state, and local levels as well as company policies around sick days and benefits. The Affordable Care Act created health insurance exchanges, standardized benefits, and eliminated pre-existing condition restrictions.
History of the women’s health movement
The document summarizes key organizations and ideology of the early feminist health movement from the 1970s-1990s. It formed in response to the medicalization of women's health and lack of women in medical research. Groups like the Boston Women's Health Collective educated women and advocated for their health needs. The movement emphasized empowering women, critiquing the medical system, and raising health issues through consciousness raising. This grassroots effort increased awareness of women's health issues and led to more research funds and participation for women in the 1990s.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UP
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
