Book Description
This report presents the six main categories of life-course events and experiences that have the greatest impact on women's senior years. It first looks at the effect of these experiences on women who were born during the first quarter of this century. Based on information about how these experiences are changing, the report then speculates on how the situation of future cohorts of senior women may differ. These experiences include family life, health, living arrangements, education, employment and economic security. The report also includes a subjective dimension illustrating how women see the impact of experiences on their lives, thanks to the informal consultations carried out by Council members. Recommendations addressed to individual women, society in general, governments, community agencies, educational institutions, employers and researchers conclude the paper.

Languages : en
Pages : 92
Book Description
The Honourable Minister of Health requested advice on how to establish principles to assist in distinguishing essential from non-essential health care services. Representatives from national and provincial seniors' organizations and from provincial councils attended a one-day workshop organized by the Council to present their views on the principles that should underlie priority-setting in health care. Because seniors remember Canada prior to the development of its public health system, they have an important and unique role to play in any discussions regarding health care reform. NACA's position on determining health care priorities is informed by the views that seniors expressed at the workshop; throughout this report, views expressed at the workshop are quoted to highlight major points. As well, this report benefited substantially from the analyses of health economists and ethicists.

Book Description
This report examines a threat to both the overall cost & the fairness of health care in Canada: the highly variable & growing personal expenditures across the country for services not insured by the Canada Health Act. It assesses the health & financial burden to seniors in the areas of home care, medication, long-term residential care, and other health expenses, and describes the wide variations across Canada in the access that seniors have to public coverage and in the level of costs levied for services. The report also proposes a more equitable system, compares different models of health care service financing, explores political & financial feasibility and social justice aspects of the proposal, and makes recommendations for the planned & gradual implementation of a health care system offering a complete range of services.

Topics in Audiovisual Translation
Author: Pilar Orero
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027295123
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
The late twentieth-century transition from a paper-oriented to a media-oriented society has triggered the emergence of Audiovisual Translation as the most dynamic and fastest developing trend within Translation Studies. The growing interest in this area is a clear indication that this discipline is going to set the agenda for the theory, research, training and practice of translation in the twenty-first century. Even so, this remains a largely underdeveloped field and much needs to be done to put Screen Translation, Multimedia Translation or the wider implications of Audiovisual Translation on a par with other fields within Translation Studies. In this light, this collection of essays reflects not only the “state of the art” in the research and teaching of Audiovisual Translation, but also the professionals’ experiences. The different contributions cover issues ranging from reflections on professional activities, to theory, the impact of ideology on Audiovisual Translation, and the practices of teaching and researching this new and challenging discipline.In expanding further the ground covered by the John Benjamins’ book (Multi)Media Translation (2001), this book seeks to provide readers with a deeper insight into some of the specific concepts, problems, aims and terminology of Audiovisual Translation, and, by this token, to make these specificities emerge from within the wider nexus of Translation Studies, Film Studies and Media Studies. In a quickly developing technical audiovisual world, Audiovisual Translation Studies is set to become the academic field that will address the complex cultural issues of a pervasively media-oriented society.

Doing Critical Literacy
Author: Hilary Janks
Publisher: Routledge
ISBN: 1136310754
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 334
Book Description
Compelling and highly engaging, this text shows teachers at all levels how to do critical literacy in the classroom and provides models for practice that can be adapted to any context. Integrating social theory and classroom practice, it brings critical literacy to life as a socio-cultural orientation to the teaching of literacy that takes seriously the relationship between language and power and orients readers to the social effects of texts. Students and teachers are drawn into the key questions critical readers need to pose of texts: Whose interests are served, who benefits, who is disadvantaged; who is included and who is excluded? The practical activities help readers grasp complex issues. Extending the theoretical framework in Hilary Janks’ Literacy and Power with a rich range of completely new, up-to-date activities that translate theory into practice, Doing Critical Literacy is powerful, relevant, and useful for both pre- and in-service teacher education and for use in schools.
