Abstract

Ältere Menschen befinden sich heute in einer günstigeren Lebenssituation als frühere Generationen: Viele von ihnen verfügen über einen hohen Lebensstandard, ein hohes Bildungsniveau und eine gute Gesundheit. Angesichts dieser Potenziale stellt sich die Frage, welche Pläne und Vorstellungen ältere Menschen heute vom Leben im "dritten Lebensalter" haben. Welche Entscheidungen treffen sie beim Übergang in den Ruhestand hinsichtlich einer weiteren Erwerbsbeteiligung, eines zivilgesellschaftlichen Engagements oder familialer Unterstützungen? Der vorliegende Band stellt aktuelle Befunde der interdisziplinären Studie "Transitions and Old Age Potential (TOP)" des Bundesinstituts für Bevölkerungsforschung zu den Lebensplänen, Potenzialen und Übergängen der 55- bis 70-Jährigen in Deutschland vor. Neben der Darstellung aktueller wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse verfolgt der Band das Ziel, Handlungsempfehlungen für die Politik, Unternehmen oder Organisationen der Zivilgesellschaft abzuleiten - und nicht zuletzt für die Älteren selbst. Dem Autorenteam ist es gelungen, ein differenzierteres Bild des Alters und des Alterns in Deutschland anhand ihres umfangreichen empirischen Materials zu liefern als dies bei vielen anderen Studien zu dieser Thematik zumeist geschieht. Socialnet.de, 16.04.2915 Der Band präsentiert aktuelle Befunde der interdisziplinären Studie "Transitions and Old Age Potential (TOP)" des BiB. Die Untersuchung ermöglicht erstmals eine detailliertere Beschreibung des Übergangs in den Ruhestand in der Altersgruppe der 55- bis 70-Jährigen im Hinblick auf die Bedingungen, Formen sowie die Entscheidung für oder gegen gesellschaftliche und wirtschaftliche Tätigkeiten.

Abstract

This book reports on original research and provides a positive consideration of the contribution of older workers. The existing literature tends to focus on the barriers, discrimination and problems, which older workers face so this is a useful corrective to that. The book will be of interest to both practitioners and researchers in the field.

Abstract

In Europe, the old will soon outnumber the young-an event that will threaten the stability of both pension and healthcare systems while also changing the migration patterns of those who need and provide care. This volume uses new media technologies to map this urgent issue. The latest theoretical approaches to issue mapping are put into practice via online mapping techniques, demonstrations of ways to explore the complex issue of demographics, and discussion of the debates surrounding available online data. By employing websites of non-governmental organizations, search engine queries identifying cultural philosophies about ageing, and more, the contributors to this volume have defined the agenda for ageing issues throughout Europe.

Abstract

For many decades, researchers have been trying to make computers’ analysis of images as effective as the system of human vision is. For this purpose, many algorithms and systems have previously been created. The whole process covers various stages, including image processing, representation and recognition. The results of this work can be applied to many computer-assisted areas of everyday life. They improve particular activities and provide handy tools, which are sometimes only for entertainment, but quite often, they significantly increase our safety. In fact, the practical implementation of image processing algorithms is particularly wide. Moreover, the rapid growth of computational complexity and computer efficiency has allowed for the development of more sophisticated and effective algorithms and tools. Although significant progress has been made so far, many issues still remain, resulting in the need for the development of novel approaches.

Abstract

The "Age-Friendly Cities & Communities: States of the Art and Future Perspectives" publication presents contemporary, innovative, and insightful narratives, debates, and frameworks based on an international collection of papers from scholars spanning the fields of gerontology, social sciences, architecture, computer science, and gerontechnology. This extensive collection of papers aims to move the narrative and debates forward in this interdisciplinary field of age-friendly cities and communities.
