Ageing in Europe - Supporting Policies for an Inclusive Society
SHARE is an international survey designed to answer the societal challenges that face us due to rapid population ageing. How do we Europeans age? How will we do economically, socially and healthwise? How are these domains interrelated? The authors of this multidisciplinary book have taken a further big step towards answering these questions based on the recent SHARE data in order to support policies for an inclusive society.
Health and socio-economic status over the life course
Health in later life is shaped by behavior and policies over the life course and reflects the differences between the societies in which we are ageing. This multidisciplinary book answers questions from all life course phases and its interconnections from a European perspective based on the most recent SHARE data, such as: How is our health related to personality traits and influenced by our childhood conditions and careers? Which role does our social network play? Which impacts of the different health care and societal regimes can we trace at older ages? Which are the differences and similarities across European countries?
Social, Health, and Economic Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Epidemiological Control Measures
The COVID-19 pandemic posed a major threat to the well-being of older Europeans. Its economic and social effects, however, varied across countries. This multidisciplinary book presents the first results of analyses that combined the renowned longitudinal database of SHARE with new data from two telephone surveys that were uniquely conducted during the pandemic. The analyses address important policy-related issues, such as: Did social distancing destabilize family and social support networks? Did the pandemic increase health, social and economic inequality? Who had to forego essential health care because of the pandemic? Did lockdown affect one's physical and mental health? Did the shift towards remote work affect workload and well-being? Were different housing conditions related to the spread of the virus?
The Europeanization of Workplace Pensions
This book uses a multi-method approach to analyze the informal signaling processes that brought about the Europeanization of workplace pensions.
Der Partnermarkt und die Gelegenheiten des Kennenlernens
Partnersuche, Partnerwahl, Heirat, Kinderwunsch, Trennungen und Scheidungen sind Ausdruck individuellen Partnerschaftsverhaltens. Diese Prozesse stehen in engem Zusammenhang mit der sozialen und demographischen Gliederung einer Gesellschaft und den Begegnungsmöglichkeiten mit potenziellen Partnern. Im Rahmen des DFG-Projekts „Gelegenheiten des Kennenlernens: Soziale Ungleichheiten auf dem Partnermarkt in Ost und Westdeutschland“ wurde eine neuartige Beschreibung der individuellen Gelegenheiten des Kennenlernens vorgenommen. Die unterschiedlichen Partnermarktopportunitäten und -restriktionen wurden durch eine direkte Erfragung der sozialen Einbindung in Handlungskontexte und soziale Netzwerke beim Individuum erfasst. In diesem Sammelband werden das neuartige Erhebungsinstrument, die empirische Umsetzung und zentrale Ergebnisse der mehrjährigen Forschungsarbeit dokumentiert.
Soziale Bedingungen privater Lebensführung
Die Texte des Bandes beleuchten den Zusammenhang zwischen den gesellschaftlichen Verhältnissen und der privaten Lebensführung und loten aus, wo jene das Leben des Einzelnen beschränken, ihm aber auch Möglichkeiten eröffnen.
Mentale und physische Gesundheit im Alter
Wie wirken sich Veränderungen in der finanziellen Lage auf verschiedene Dimensionen der Gesundheit im Alter aus? In empirischen Analysen mit Längsschnittdaten des Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe (SHARE) untersucht der Autor verschiedene Dimensionen der Gesundheit: Depression, subjektive Gesundheit und körperliche Einschränkungen. Zudem werden die Einflüsse von Einkommens- und Vermögensungleichheit in der Gesellschaft auf die individuelle Gesundheit erforscht.
Selected papers from the 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace
This book is devoted to recent developments of instrumentation and measurement techniques applied to the aerospace field. It includes 23 selected papers from the 2019 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace. Measurements are essential for obtaining a deeper knowledge of a phenomenon or an asset, as well as for making proper decisions and proposing new and efficient solutions, and this is especially true in environments as complex as aerospace. The research contributions included in the book can raise the interest of a wide group of researchers, operators and decision-makers from metrology and aerospace fields by presenting the most innovative solutions in this field from the scientific and technological points of view.
Forum on fisheries science in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea: Scaling up science for effective fisheries management
This publication presents the outcomes and conclusions of the Forum on Fisheries Science in the Mediterranean and the Black Sea (Fish Forum 2024), including abstracts of keynote addresses, contributions and posters. Organized by the General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean, this event gathered scientists, fishers, stakeholders, researchers, engineers, academics, practitioners, managers and decision-makers from around the world to share knowledge on the latest developments and trends in fisheries science and discuss existing and emerging challenges as well as research priorities. The outcomes and abstracts are organized according to the three themes of Fish Forum 2024: better science for better advice; healthy seas and sustainable fisheries; and economic and technological innovation for resilient fisheries. The aim of this compilation is to provide insights to support decision-making processes and better advice in the region that will help shape the future of Mediterranean and Black Sea fisheries.
Digital Wood Design
This book explores various digital representation strategies that could change the future of wooden architectures by blending tradition and innovation. Composed of 61 chapters, written by 153 authors hailing from 5 continents, 24 countries and 69 research centers, it addresses advanced digital modeling, with a particular focus on solutions involving generative models and dynamic value, inherent to the relation between knowing how to draw and how to build. Thanks to the potential of computing, areas like parametric design and digital manufacturing are opening exciting new avenues for the future of construction. The book’s chapters are divided into five sections that connect digital wood design to integrated approaches and generative design; to model synthesis and morphological comprehension; to lessons learned from nature and material explorations; to constructive wisdom and implementation-related challenges; and to parametric transfigurations and morphological optimizations.
