La irrupción del coronavirus y de la ya considerada primera gran pandemia del Nuevo Milenio, a nivel mundial ha marcado un antes y un después en multitud de aspectos. Tal es así que analizando el momento Covid19 y las implicaciones causadas por este organismo micro que en todas las geografías y sociedades ha desatado impactantes consecuencias macro, no es difícil deducir que la Humanidad se encuentra ante un importante cambio de paradigma que hasta instaurarse definitivamente, genera una polarización irreconciliable y nos sitúa en un peligroso punto de inflexión que muestra escenarios radicalmente opuestos y de consecuencias extremas.Ante semejante situación surgen infinidad de interrogantes: ¿La pandemia por coronavirus podrá guardar relación con otras pandemias de la historia? Si así fuera: ¿Podríamos aprender de antiguos errores y aciertos? ¿O como indicó Hegel, lo único que sabemos de la Historia es que no aprendemos nada de ella? ¿Es posible que junto al evidente tambaleo que se ha producido en el universo de la salud y la economía, la enfermedad de Covid19 sea el detonante que nos ha situado en un punto de inflexión en la Historia de la Humanidad? Y si así fuera: ¿Hacia qué época nos dirigimos? ¿Seremos capaces de crecer como sociedad o el miedo nos llevará a repetir los errores de siempre? ¿La peligrosa polarización en la que estamos inmersos nos impedirá avanzar? ¿Podría esta dualidad enquistada conducirnos a regímenes totalitarios y a un crudo conflicto, semejante a los que ya se produjeron en otras etapas históricas? ¿O nos atreveremos a gestionar el caos y la crítica situación en la que estamos inmersos como una sociedad madura, apostando por los nuevos parámetros que trae consigo el siglo XXI que nos ha tocado vivir?Sin duda, el siglo XXI nos ha situado ante nuevas formas y maneras de vivir, con otros valores y nuevos retos que debemos abordar de inmediato, pese a que su análisis no resulte en absoluto sencillo, ya que quietud, normalidad o ausencia de impactantes acontecimientos socio-políticos, jurídicos y económicos, no son características que puedan atribuirse ni al nacimiento del tercer milenio, ni al devenir de sus primeras décadas. Aun así y para saber hacia dónde queremos dirigirnos, es indispensable tomar conciencia del especial momento que estamos viviendo: solo reconociendo el peligroso punto de inflexión en el que nos encontramos podremos madurar como sociedad, dejando de repetir los errores de siempre y decidir con honestidad hacia dónde queremos ir…

This publication provides an overview of the common and unique sustainability elements of Indigenous Peoples' food systems, in terms of natural resource management, access to the market, diet diversity, indigenous peoples’ governance systems, and links to traditional knowledge and indigenous languages. While enhancing the learning on Indigenous Peoples food systems, it will raise awareness on the need to enhance the protection of Indigenous Peoples' food systems as a source of livelihood for the 476 million indigenous inhabitants in the world, while contributing to the Zero Hunger Goal. In addition, the UN Decade of Action on Nutrition (2016-2025) and the UN Food Systems Summit call on the enhancement of sustainable food systems and on the importance of diversifying diets with nutritious foods, while broadening the existing food base and preserving biodiversity. This is a feature characteristic of Indigenous Peoples' food systems since hundreds of years, which can provide answers to the current debate on sustainable food systems and resilience.

How Tobacco Smoke Causes Disease

Release: 2010
Genre: Government publications
ISBN:

This report considers the biological and behavioral mechanisms that may underlie the pathogenicity of tobacco smoke. Many Surgeon General's reports have considered research findings on mechanisms in assessing the biological plausibility of associations observed in epidemiologic studies. Mechanisms of disease are important because they may provide plausibility, which is one of the guideline criteria for assessing evidence on causation. This report specifically reviews the evidence on the potential mechanisms by which smoking causes diseases and considers whether a mechanism is likely to be operative in the production of human disease by tobacco smoke. This evidence is relevant to understanding how smoking causes disease, to identifying those who may be particularly susceptible, and to assessing the potential risks of tobacco products.

Ageing populations have gradually become a major concern in many industrialised countries over the past fifty years, drawing the attention of both politics and science. The target of a raft of health and social policies, older people are often identified as a specific, and vulnerable, population. At the same time, ageing has become a specialisation in many disciplines - medicine, sociology, psychology, to name but three – and a discipline of its own: gerontology. This book questions the framing of old age by focusing on the relationships between policy making and the production of knowledge. The first part explores how the meeting of scientific expertise and the politics of old age anchors the construction of both individual and collective relationships to the future. Part II brings to light the many ways in which issues relating to ageing can be instrumentalised and ideologised in several public debate arenas. Part III argues that scientific knowledge itself composes with objectivity, bringing ideologies of its own to the table, and looks at how this impacts discourse about ageing. In the final part, the contributors discuss how the frames can themselves be experienced at different levels of the division of labour, whether it is by people who work on them (legislators or scientists), by people working with them (professional carers) or by older people themselves. Unpacking the political and moral dimensions of scientific research on ageing, this cutting-edge volume brings together a range of multidisciplinary, European perspectives, and will be of use to all those interested in old age and the social sciences.

Location-based Marketing outlines the main concepts, methods and strategies for implementing spatial marketing, also known as geomarketing. With an emphasis on the value of mapping in marketing decision-making, this book demonstrates the importance of a more spatialized view of these decisions, in order to best respond to market realities – whether local or international. The main techniques of geomarketing are presented along with an understanding of the spatial behavior of consumers, both outside the point of sale and in stores. The book further introduces the idea of a "geomarketing mix", which spatializes product innovations, merchandising, pricing and various aspects of promotion. Finally, the book defines what real georetailing comprises and develops the concept of mobile marketing based on geolocation techniques.
