Описание: PART ONE: EPIDEMIOLOGICAL RESEARCH IN MUSIC AND PUBLIC HEALTH IN THE NORDIC COUNTRIES Ola Ekholm & Lars Ole Bonde (DK): A Danish Music and Public Health Study: Some conclusions and consequences for preventive projects Abstract: A summary of the first Danish study on music and Public Health with 14.000 respondents will include selected results from the study and a discussion of how this new knowledge may inform future preventive projects. Tцres Theorell (maybe with coauthors) (S): Musicality and creativity: The role of musical abilities as predictors. Abstract: There is a well-established statistical relationship between musical ability (rhythm, pitch, and melody) and general intelligence. In our group we have also examined the relationship between amount (total hours) of life-long musical practice on one hand and poor capacity to handle emotions (alexithymia) on the other hand. Our studies have been based upon 27-54-year-old twins in the Swedish Twin Registry. We have shown that both in men and women there is a significant negative relationship between numbers of music practice hours and poor ability to handle emotions - alexithymia. In other words, music practice statistically protects individuals in the population from alexithymia. As a measure of alexithymia, we have used the total score (TAS 20) of three aspects of alexithymia, namely ability to differentiate emotions, ability to put words on emotions, and ability to externalize feelings. However, according to twin modeling analyses, the relationship between amount of music practice and alexithymia is determined mainly by genetic factors influencing both alexithymia and amount of practice (via motivational processes). Our results similarly show that a high level of musical achievement (ranging from inactivity in music to being an amateur and to being an advanced professional) is associated with good emotional ability and that high writing achievement also independently contributes to good emotional ability. Independently of writing and musical ability, for men high achievement in visual arts and for women high achievement in theatre performing contribute to good emotional ability. We have recently extended these studies to the examination of the association between musicality (objective tests of rhythm, melody, and pitch ability) and likelihood of working in a creative occupation. It is hypothesized that musicality is an important aspect of creative thinking and that both emotional capacity (the opposite of alexithymia) and general intelligence contribute to this likelihood. Using a job exposure matrix (O*Net), we find - as expected - that high age, high educational level, and high general intelligence level all contribute to the likelihood of working in a creative occupation. However, adding to these expected findings, we also find for men that a high score for musical pitch contributes to likelihood of working in a creative occupation. For women, a low score for alexithymia contributes to this likelihood as well. These associations were not affected when all musician participants were excluded from the analyses. In other words, there is, for instance, an independent relationship in men between a high score for pitch and likelihood of working in a creative occupation regardless of musician identity. Our research results point at a complex web of musical (and, in general, artistic) experiences as well as emotional skills as being of importance for recruiting and maintaining workers in creative occupations. The findings are partly gender specific. In the chapter, we are going to discuss possible causal and non-causal pathways explaining these associations as well as possible societal implications.

This new volume draws from provocative discussions on the urban social contract among policy makers, researchers, public intellectuals, and citizens at the 2015 UIC Urban Forum. Michael A. Pagano presents papers that emphasize political agreements, disagreements, challenges, and controversies on health, energy, and environmental policies. Authors explore the substantive and philosophical changes in the urban social contract and offer proposals for remaking it in the new century. Topics range from big-picture analyses to specifics covering areas like public services, the smart cities movement, and greening strategies. Contributors: Alba Alexander, Megan Houston, Dennis R. Judd, Cynthia Klein-Banai, William C. Kling, Howard A. Learner, David A. McDonald, David C. Perry, Emily Stiehl, Anthony Townsend, Natalia Villamizar-Duarte, and Moira Zellner.

Описание:
This salient text presents a culturally aware public health approach to the HIV epidemic in Malaysia, a country emblematic of the Muslim world's response to the crisis. It explores complex interactions of religion with health as a source of coping as well as stigma and denial, particularly as Islam plays a central role in Malaysian culture, politics, and policy. At the heart of the book, a groundbreaking study analyzes attitudes and behaviors toward prevention among diverse people living with HIV, faith leaders, and government health officials. From these findings, readers gain insight into how health professionals, policymakers, and organizations can create appropriate prevention programs in Malaysia, with implications for other Muslim countries.
This timely volume:
Situates Malaysia and the Asian Pacific region in the context of the HIV epidemic.
Analyzes ways Islamic beliefs can shape perceptions of HIV and prevention policy.
Reviews a unique study of stakeholder opinions and practices regarding HIV.
Discusses the consequences of Islamic rulings on sex outside marriage.
Offers recommendations for effective HIV prevention practice and policy.
Islam and Health Policies Related to HIV Prevention in Malaysia is of immediate relevance to researchers studying HIV prevention, social aspects of religion, sexuality, and sex education. Policymakers in health promotion and health education as well as graduate students in sex education, sociology, psychology, and cultural studies should also find it useful.
Описание: With the development of advanced screening procedures and techniques, certain limitations of the existing screening processes for disease methodologies and paradigms have been noted. More accurate and less invasive screening methods are needed to diagnose and treat health disorders and diseases before symptoms appear.Pre-Screening Systems for Early Disease Prediction, Detection, and Prevention is a pivotal reference source that utilizes advanced ICT techniques to solve problems in health data collection, analysis, and interpretation, as well as improve existing health systems for the advanced screening of diseases. Using non-invasive biomedical sensor devices and internet of things technology, this book examines safer methods to accelerate disease detection and effectively treat patients while challenging previously used pre-screening processes. While highlighting topics such as the applications of machine learning, patient safety, diagnostics models, and condition management, this publication is ideally designed for healthcare specialists, researchers in health informatics, industry practitioners, and academics.
