This document summarizes a project called PHAN! which aims to promote physical activity in Europe. The project addresses the challenge that physical inactivity is a leading health risk factor in Europe. It works to develop guidance and tools to integrate physical activity into urban planning, promote activity among youth and disadvantaged groups, and strengthen the HEPA Europe networking organization. The project is funded by the EU and involves several partner organizations focused on transport, health, cities and physical activity promotion.

Improving health equity through action across the life course: Summary of evi...DRIVERS
Economic growth, democratisation and improved living conditions have contributed to improved health and longevity in Europe, but profound and systematic differences in health persist. These differences form a gradient that runs from the top to the bottom of society, and this pattern holds true for all European countries.
These health inequalities have existed for centuries and much is now known about their causes – many of which are potentially avoidable.
The main aim of the DRIVERS project is to deepen understanding of the relationships that exist in a European context between some of the key influences on health over the course of a person’s life - early childhood, employment, and income and social protection - and to find solutions to improve health and reduce health inequalities.
This document begins by providing an overview of DRIVERS and its most significant findings. It then describes headline principles and recommendations to help reduce health inequalities across Europe.
The goal of the DRIVERS project is to leave a lasting legacy, by providing evidence that informs the implementation of policies and programmes across different sectors that are effective in reducing health inequalities, improving social justice and contributing to societal and economic progress for all.

WHITE PAPER
Together for Health:
A Strategic Approach for the EU 2008-2013
1. WHY A NEW HEALTH STRATEGY?
Health is central in people's lives and needs to be supported by effective policies and actions
in Member States, at EC1 level and at global level.
Member States have the main responsibility for health policy and provision of healthcare to
European citizens. The EC's role is not to mirror or duplicate their work. However, there are
areas where Member States cannot act alone effectively and where cooperative action at
Community level is indispensable. These include major health threats and issues with a cross-
border or international impact, such as pandemics and bioterrorism, as well as those relating
to free movement of goods, services and people.
To carry out this role, cross-sectoral work is required. Article 152 of the EC Treaty says that a
"high level of human health protection shall be ensured in the definition and implementation
of all Community policies and activities". This Strategy reinforces the importance of health in
policies such as the Lisbon Strategy for Growth and Jobs, emphasising the links between
health and economic prosperity, and the Citizens' Agenda, recognising people's right to be
empowered in relation to their health and healthcare. Actions in the Strategy represent work
on health across all sectors. Health is found in Treaty articles on the Internal Market,
Environment, Consumer Protection, Social Affairs including the Safety and Health of
Workers, Development Policy, and Research, amongst many others2.
The EC's important role in health policy has been reaffirmed in the Reform Treaty which was
agreed by EU Heads of State and Government in Lisbon on 19 October 2007, and which
proposes to reinforce the political importance of health. A new overall aim on supporting
citizens' wellbeing is expected, as well as an encouragement of cooperation amongst Member
States on health and health services. Work on health at Community level adds value to
Member States' actions, particularly in the area of prevention of illness, including work on
food safety and nutrition, the safety of medical products, tackling smoking, legislation on
blood, tissues and cells, and organs, water and air quality, and the launch of a number of
health-related agencies. However, there are several growing challenges to the health of the
population which require a new strategic approach.
– Firstly, demographic changes including population ageing are changing disease patterns
and putting pressure on the sustainability of EU health systems. Supporting healthy ageing
means both promoting health throughout the lifespan, aiming to prevent h ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Not all benefits found have been quantified, ie. Refer back to the overview of health effects first (e.g. risk reduction for overweight not quantified) Or e.g.: Does Physical Activity Protect Against the Onset of Depression Disorders or Depression Symptoms? Conclusions Population-based, prospective cohort studies provide substantial evidence that regular physical activity protects against the onset of depression symptoms and major depressive disorder. Does Physical Activity Reduce Symptoms of Depression? Conclusions The results of RCTs indicate that participation in physical activity programs reduces depression symptoms in people diagnosed as depressed, healthy adults, and medical patients without psychiatric disorders.

Please note that 63+38=101% -> they have not rounded to 100% in the Global Health Risk Report unfortunately Say that you will explain in a moment what “ the minimum recommended level of physical activity” means Definitions WHO global risk report: Based on: Danaei G, Ding E, Taylor B, Mozaffarian D, Rehm J, Murray CJL et al. Mortality effects of lifestyle, dietary, and metabolic risk factors in the United States: comparative risk assessment. PLoS Medicine, 2009, 6(4):e1000058. Categories of PA were defined using responses regarding PA during the past 30 Days: Inactive : no moderate or vigorous PA Low-active: <2.5h/wk of moderate activity or <600 MET mins/week Moderately active: either >= 2.5h/wk of moderate or >= 1 h of vigorous activity and >= 600 MET mins /week Highly active: >= 1 h/wk of vigorous activity and >= 1.600 MET mins/week According to WHO (and US) reocmmendations: BUT YOU WILL GET TO THAT Moderately active is 150 minutes to 300 (5 hours) minutes of moderate-intensity activity a week (or 75 to 150 minutes of vigorous-intensity physical activity a week). In scientific terms, this range is approximately equivalent to 500 to 1,000 metabolic equivalent (MET) minutes a week. A range is necessary because the amount of physical activity necessary to produce health benefits cannot yet be identified with a high degree of precision; this amount varies somewhat by the health benefit. For example, activity of 500 MET-minutes a week results in a substantial reduction in the risk of premature death, but activity of more than 500 MET-minutes a week is necessary to achieve a substantial reduction in the risk of breast cancer.
