Book Description
In the United States, some populations suffer from far greater disparities in health than others. Those disparities are caused not only by fundamental differences in health status across segments of the population, but also because of inequities in factors that impact health status, so-called determinants of health. Only part of an individual's health status depends on his or her behavior and choice; community-wide problems like poverty, unemployment, poor education, inadequate housing, poor public transportation, interpersonal violence, and decaying neighborhoods also contribute to health inequities, as well as the historic and ongoing interplay of structures, policies, and norms that shape lives. When these factors are not optimal in a community, it does not mean they are intractable: such inequities can be mitigated by social policies that can shape health in powerful ways. Communities in Action: Pathways to Health Equity seeks to delineate the causes of and the solutions to health inequities in the United States. This report focuses on what communities can do to promote health equity, what actions are needed by the many and varied stakeholders that are part of communities or support them, as well as the root causes and structural barriers that need to be overcome.

Book Description
"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic marks the most significant, singular global disruption since World War II, with health, economic, political, and security implications that will ripple for years to come." -Global Trends 2040 (2021) Global Trends 2040-A More Contested World (2021), released by the US National Intelligence Council, is the latest report in its series of reports starting in 1997 about megatrends and the world's future. This report, strongly influenced by the COVID-19 pandemic, paints a bleak picture of the future and describes a contested, fragmented and turbulent world. It specifically discusses the four main trends that will shape tomorrow's world: - Demographics-by 2040, 1.4 billion people will be added mostly in Africa and South Asia. - Economics-increased government debt and concentrated economic power will escalate problems for the poor and middleclass. - Climate-a hotter world will increase water, food, and health insecurity. - Technology-the emergence of new technologies could both solve and cause problems for human life. Students of trends, policymakers, entrepreneurs, academics, journalists and anyone eager for a glimpse into the next decades, will find this report, with colored graphs, essential reading.
Strong and Weak Interactions Present Problems
Author: A ZichichiPublisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 1483261638
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 880
Book Description
Strong and Weak Interactions: Present Problems focuses on the reactions, transformations, and processes involved in strong and weak interaction, including baryonic, mesonic, and strange and non-strange resonances. The selection first offers information on unitary symmetry and hadron and lepton internal symmetries. Topics include internal symmetry for leptons, algebra of the hadron vector current, leptons and hadrons, and the search for higher symmetries. The text then elaborates on algebras and weak interactions and relativistic quark model as representation of algebra. The book takes a look at Regge poles in high-energy scattering and models of strong interactions. Discussions focus on electromagnetic properties, relations among strong vertices, medium-strong mass splittings, moving poles, high-energy kinematics, and Sommerfeld-Watson transformation. The text also ponders on meson resonances, phenomenology of resonances and particle supermultiplets, and meson photoproduction near threshold and commutation algebra. The selection is highly recommended for readers interested in strong and weak interactions.
