What works in tackling health inequalities?

Pathways, policies and practice through the lifecourse

By: Asthana, Sheena,Halliday, Joyce

In recent years, tackling health inequalities has become a key policy objective in the UK. However, doubts remain about how best to translate broad policy recommendations into practice. One key area of uncertainty concerns the role of local level initiatives. This book identifies the key targets for intervention through a detailed exploration of the pathways and processes that give rise to health inequalities across the lifecourse. It sets this against an examination of both local practice and the national policy context, to establish what works in health inequalities policy, how and why. Authoritative yet accessible, the book provides a comprehensive account of theory, policy and practice. It spans the lifecourse from the early years to old age and explores the links between biological, psychological, social, educational and economic factors and a range of health outcomes. In addition it describes key policy initiatives, assesses research evidence of 'what works' and examines the limitations of the existing evidence base and highlights key areas of debate. What works in tackling health inequalities? is essential reading for academics and students in medical sociology, social psychology, social policy and public health, and for policy makers and practitioners working in public health and social exclusion.

Introduction to Alternative and Complementary Therapies

By: Terry S Trepper,Anne Strozier,Joyce E Carpenter,Lorna L Hecker

Discover creative new ways to facilitate the therapeutic process Therapeutic modalities that psychotherapists usually rely on--such as psychodynamic, humanistic, systems, cognitive, narrative, analytic and solution focused--are all verbal interventions. Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies presents a comprehensive overview of complementary and alternative therapeutic interventions that go beyond the standard verbal approaches. The therapies presented in this book--including mindfulness and meditation, spirituality, poetry therapy, art therapy, psychodrama, dance/movement therapy, music therapy, animal-assisted therapy, and touch therapy--provide the reader with creative non-traditional modalities that are effective in conjunction with traditional treatment, or as substitutes. They may enrich talk-therapy, especially when therapists and/or clients get “stuck,” or they may provide healing on their own. Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies explains the basics about how these nontraditional therapies work and provides vivid examples for utilizing them in treatment. Each chapter is written by an expert in the field of expertise, and includes a description of the approach, research evidence about its effectiveness, guidelines on how to use the therapy in practice, and case examples. This excellent volume also provides practitioners with a wide range of resources, including Web sites, information on state and national organizations, accrediting board info, and more. Topics in Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies include: the mind-body relationship ways to integrate spirituality in counseling the healing components of poetry research studies on art therapy different techniques available in Psychodrama using body movement as a means of expressing conflicts and desires how music therapy promotes positive changes in the client the healing aspects of animals and much more! Introduction to Complementary and Alternative Therapies is a horizon-expanding guide for therapists, social workers, psychologists, counselors, physicians, educators, and students.

Deceptive Lies... A Young Man's Journey Towards Redemption

By: Joyce D. Switalski, M.S.

Deceptive Lies... A Young Man's Journey Towards Redemption By: Joyce D. Switalski, M.S. Maeve McCaffery, an Irish caregiver, was awarded estate money from a wealthy resident upon her death. While this could be life changing for her, she was instead miserable, as her client's estate planner referred a devious immigration specialist to Maeve's home care registry The specialist, Mat Turner needed money and decided to steal from Maeve's client spinning a web of deceptive lies. He insisted that Maeve comply with his request or he'll send her back to Ireland. He took more than money; he took Maeve's innocence and trust. Maeve had to flee her beloved Philadelphia, as she was carrying Mat's child...the child conceived without consent. After moving to Maine, Maeve thought that Mat could never find her. She convinced herself that she would never be his victim again. She was wrong. Maeve saw Mat's cunning behavior in her son, Nate. She decided her son would never know Mat's identity. Years later, Nate was told the truth; his entire life changed with that knowledge. After a heated argument with his mom, Nate was enraged and drove to Philadelphia. He wanted to find his dad. He needed his support, his love. Absorbed in intense thought, Nate didn't see the truck swerving in his direction. He felt the impact, the sound of broken glass and crushed metal. Days later, Nate awakes in a New York Trauma Hospital. Although the blaring sounds of intensive care were piercing, Nate welcomed the soft stream of opioid drugs flowing rapidly into his distressed body. Deceptive Lies... tells the story of a young man's journey towards truth and redemption.

The Devil and Bobby Hull

How Hockey's Original Million-Dollar Man Became the Game's Lost Legend

By: Gare Joyce

An award-winning writer sets the record straight on hockey's forgotten golden boy—Bobby Hull In his prime, few could dispute Bobby Hull's athletic brilliance—the first to have five 50-goal seasons, the highest scorer on the 1976 Canada Cup team, the first to use the slapshot as a scoring weapon, and the first hockey player to sign a million-dollar contract. With his body-builder torso, and his 100 mph volleys across a rink, the world of hockey glory was his to lose. And he did. With his publicized marital troubles and his defection from the NHL to the WHA, Hull's star began to fall, leaving him broke and in exile from the game. In The Devil and Bobby Hull, this once great hockey player and pioneer is finally given his due. Not only are Hull's remarkable on-ice achievements finally put in perspective, so, too, are his achievements off the rink—including endorsements for a wide array of products (rare for an NHL player) and his appearance on the cover of Sports Illustrated a record four times. And the book details how Hull's battle with the owners of the Chicago Blackhawks—challenging the reserve clause in his contract, a move that enabled him to move to the WHA—helped other players follow him. The author places Hull squarely in the pantheon of other hockey greats, including Gordie Howe, Bobby Orr, and Wayne Gretzky—and makes the case that he is the game's most influential and important player This is the full, unauthorized story of Hull's life—that doesn't sidestep the controversies (including the domestic violence tainting his private life) Details Hull's recent reconciliation with the Chicago Blackhawks A candid look at one of hockey's most gifted and controversial figures, The Devil and Bobby Hull tells the story of his extraordinary career and life—and why this remarkable man has not faded into oblivion.

Our Father's Secret

The true story of three Irish girls' struggle against abuse and their fight for justice

By: Joyce Kavanagh,June Kavanagh,Paula Kavanagh

A true story of abuse. Three sisters. A shattered Irish childhood. Joyce, June and Paula Kavanagh were three sisters born to a family of ten in Ballyfermot, Dublin in the 1960s. Their father abused all three of them in the family home throughout their childhood. In 1989, the sisters made the brave decision to bring charges against their father and, in 1990, the state took a successful case against him. He was convicted and imprisoned. Click, Click is the story of their abuse; the exposure of a man prolific in his paedophilia; and an Irish childhood lost in a dysfunctional, abusive and torturous environment. Importantly, however, it is also the story of three women's healing; their coming to terms with their abuse, and their forgiveness of themselves and others. The Kavanagh sisters have refused to allow their abuse to define them. With fierce humour, insight and honesty, they now share their story and show that with love and determination, you can indeed conquer all.

Advances in Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics

By: Chong H. Kim,Henry Tedeschi,Joyce J. Diwan,John C. Salerno

This book is formulated from the papers presented at the International Symposium on "Membrane Biochemistry and Bioenergetics," held at the Rensselaerville Institute, Rensselaerville, New York, August 1986, in honor of Tsoo E. King on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of reconstitution of arespiratory chain system by Professor David Keilin and Tsoo E. King. Professor Tsoo E. King, to whom this volume is dedicated, has made enormous contributions to the field of isolation and reconstitution of membrane proteins and has continued to explore the frontiers of bioener getics. In particular, his persistent proposals on the existence of ubiquinone binding proteins from conceptualization to experimentation eventually convinced many scientists to study these proteins further . Professor King's preparation of reconstitutively active succinate dehydrogenase opened a new avenue in the fie1d of membrane bioenergetics, and his work has been greatly appreciated. The purpose of the symposium was to bring together scientists from diverse disciplines related to membrane bioenergetics to discuss the recent developments in the field. This symposium, initiated by the Capital District Bioenergetics Group, was attended by 100 scientists, 80 of whom presented their recent discoveries. The symposium was arranged in a sequence of platform lectures, poster presentations and discussion sessions so that all the participants had opportunities to discuss the subjects presented. Most of the participants contributed a chapter to this volume. We would like to express our regret to many other scientists including Professor King's friends, colleagues and students who could not attend due to various reasons.

Un/Masking

Reflections on a Transformative Process

By: Laurette Burgholzer,Joyce Cheng,Sarah Hegenbart,Bethan Hughes,Judith Kemp,Christiane Lewe,W. Anthony Sheppard,Bernhard Siegert,Anja Wächter,Eleonore Zapf

This volume looks at masking and unmasking as indivisible aspects of the same process. It gathers articles from a wide range of disciplines and addresses un/masking both as a historical and a contemporary phenomenon. By highlighting the performative dimensions of un/masking, it challenges dichotomies like depth and surface, authenticity and deception, that play a central role in masks being commonly associated with illusion and dissimulation. The contributions explore topics such as the relationship between face, mask, and identity in artistic contexts ranging from Surrealist photography to video installations and from Modernist poetry to fin-de-siècle cabaret theater. They investigate un/masking as a process of transition and transformation – be it in the case of the wooden masks of the First Nations of the American Northwest Coast or of the elaborate costumes and vocal masking of pop icon Lady Gaga. In all of these instances, the act of un/masking has the power to simultaneously hide and reveal. It destabilizes supposedly fixed identities and blurs the lines between the self and the other, the visible and the invisible. The volume offers new perspectives on current debates surrounding issues such as protective masks in public spaces, facial recognition technologies, and colonial legacies in monuments and museums, offering insight into what the act of un/masking can mean today. With contributions by Laurette Burgholzer, Joyce Cheng, Sarah Hegenbart, Bethan Hughes, Judith Kemp, Christiane Lewe, W. Anthony Sheppard, Bernhard Siegert, Anja Wächter, and Eleonore Zapf.

Fam'ly

How We Made It Over

By: Mary Joyce McNeil Flournoy

Fam'ly is a heartwarming family saga about the author's large family of seven children, whose parents married young, possessing only minimal skills and education during the Great Depression in this country, and their struggles to rise above their marginal existence. Although both of the writer's parents had been encouraged by their families to acquire skills before getting married, the couple believed they could obtain advanced skills and have a much better life after marrying by moving from their small South Carolina rural setting to Charlotte, North Carolina, a much bigger city. Fam'ly shares the story of the young black couple's struggles amid a backdrop of the Jim Crow and segregation era and a depressed economy to overcome adversity; to better their lives, their extended family members' lives as well as their children's lives; and to make sure all their seven children obtained a higher education so they could have a better quality of life than they had experienced. The narrative tells how the pair's tenacity, strong bonds of love and support from their immediate and extended families--some of whom had followed the Great Migration and moved to Northern cities such as Brooklyn and Bronx, New York--and love and faith in God helped them to overcome obstacles and accomplish goals in their lives. The story also shows that those you help or who help you do not have to be members of your immediate or extended families. They can be members of various family circles in your life, like church, work, or community families. Fam'ly highlights the efforts of an extended family--not just the immediate family--working together to help one another succeed. While the book does have its serious side, it is lighthearted, funny, informative, and entertaining but with a historical, factual, and real-life backdrop.

Hacking Neuroplasticity

How AI Can Help Your Healthy Aging Brain

By: Joyce Shaffer

Neuroplasticity is the ability of neural networks in the brain to change through growth and reorganization. It is when the brain is rewired to function in some way that differs from how it previously functioned. How does aging affect neuroplasticity? As we grow older, plasticity decreases to stabilize what we have already learned. What influence does the aging process have on memory? Forgetfulness can be a normal part of aging. As people get older, changes occur in all parts of the body, including the brain. As a result, some people may notice that it takes longer to learn new things, they don't remember information as well as they did, or they lose things like their glasses. This book on evolving neuroscience is unique in its lifespan focus on driving neuroplasticity in a positive direction to influence the Flynn effect of increasing human intelligence as the preferred way to prevent, delay onset, and/or reverse dementia. It considers potential impact from the first moments of life through end of life. It includes intergenerational activities. Its inclusion of centenarians and supercentenarians provides examples of “Super Agers” who have maintained and/or increased neurocognitive capacity, often with a health span that approximated their vigorous longevity. It discusses the use of the Artificial Intelligence (AI) revolution to refine, personalize, and broaden our global reach to enhance the Flynn effect as the preferred effort to improve global statistics on neurocognitive functioning at any age. Driving neuroplasticity in a positive direction at all ages is urgent. With this book’s focus on evidence-based interventions at any age which can have physical, emotional, neurobiological, neurochemical, immunological, and social health benefits, it is a unique overview and application of evolving neuroscience to address the UN/WHO Decade of Action for Healthy Ageing for All.

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Health

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Health

By: Joyce A. Nettleton

The evidence that omega-3 fatty acids are essential for human development and most helpful to achieve good health throughout life is clearly documented by Dr. Joyce Nettleton in her new book Omega-3 Fatty Acids and Health. Omega 3 fatty acids are produced by the plants of the land and sea. The tissues of the body require the omega-3 fatty acids for their proper functioning just as they also need the omega-6 essential fatty acids. It is probable in man's evolutionary development that there has always been the proper balance between these two groups of essential fatty acids, but in the modern era with the provision of inexpensive vegetable oils it is possible that the pendulum for increased dietary omega-6 fatty acids in the form of linoleic acid has swung too far and the intake ofomega-3 fatty acids has actualIy declined. In particular, the 22 carbon omega 3 fatty acid, docosahexaenoic acid, which has six double bonds, is important in the membranes of brain cells, heart muscle cells, the rods and cones of the retina and spermatozoa. Docosahexaenoic acid is found only in foods such as fish and other sea life, having been synthesized by the phytoplankton of the waters. An outright deficiency of omega-3 fatty acids has led to a number of distur bances in animals and human infants such as impaired vision, abnormalities of the electroretinogram, of the eye and various behavioral aberrations.

James Augustine Aloysius Joyce (2 February 18820́413 January 1941) was an Irish novelist and poet, considered to be one of the most influential writers in the modernist avant-garde of the early 20th century. Joyce is best known for Ulysses (1922), a landmark work in which the episodes of Homer's Odyssey are paralleled in an array of contrasting literary styles, perhaps most prominent among these the stream of consciousness technique he perfected. Other major works are the short-story collection Dubliners (1914), and the novels A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man (1916) and Finnegans Wake (1939). His complete oeuvre also includes three books of poetry, a play, occasional journalism, and his published letters.

Exiles

By: James Joyce

That is my fear. That I stand between her and any moments of life that should be hers...' Set against the backdrop of the Home Rule Crisis of 1912, Exiles is James Joyce's only surviving play. It tells the story of writer Richard Rowan and his common-law wife Bertha, characters drawn from Joyce's own life with Nora Barnacle. After a decade of absence from Dublin, Richard and Bertha have returned home from Rome, still unmarried, with their young son Archie. Richard hopes that he will be greeted as a returning genius and rewarded with a comfortable university position. But this aspiration ends up taking a back seat to the erotic crisis that is unleashed by the couple's return to the place where they first met, and their encounters with two old flames and friends. In this play, Joyce revisits his own agonizing feelings of jealousy that were precipitated by similar trips home to Dublin. In the introduction and notes, Keri Walsh provides a comprehensive look issues of gender, sexuality, and performance as well as considering the nationalist and sectarian contexts of Dublin in 1912, the year of the play's setting.

Now That You've Lost It

How to Maintain Your Best Weight

By: Joyce D Nash, PhD,Joyce D. Nash

For many people, weight-loss programs have been a cruel hoax. How often do you hear someone say: “I have no trouble losing weight; I’ve lost hundreds of pounds—but then I always gain it back, and usually a little extra.” Now That You’ve Lost It lays out a comprehensive system for permanent weight control, focusing on staying at goal weight. Teaching powerful thinking skills, it describes what is needed for success, shows the reader how to assess his or her particular needs, and systematically teaches how to: Cope with binge eating Overcome backsliding Manage anger and loneliness Use self-talk effectively Learn to “think smart” Cope with social influences Overcome depression and anxiety Cope with success [Author bio] Joyce D. Nash holds two Ph.D.s—one in clinical psychology from the Pacific Graduate School of Psychology, and one in communication from Stanford University, where she did post-doctoral work at the School of Medicine. Dr. Nash is the author of several books on various topics related to behavioral medicine.
