"Nursing homes play a unique dual role in the long-term care continuum, serving as a place where people receive needed health care and a place they call home. Ineffective responses to the complex challenges of nursing home care have resulted in a system that often fails to ensure the well-being and safety of nursing home residents. The devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on nursing home residents and staff has renewed attention to the long-standing weaknesses that impede the provision of high-quality nursing home care. With support from a coalition of sponsors, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine formed the Committee on the Quality of Care in Nursing Homes to examine how the United States delivers, finances, regulates, and measures the quality of nursing home care. The National Imperative to Improve Nursing Home Quality: Honoring Our Commitment to Residents, Families, and Staff identifies seven broad goals and supporting recommendations which provide the overarching framework for a comprehensive approach to improving the quality of care in nursing homes"--

« Août 2014. Un château célèbre, une maison de retraite qui ferme, des archives qui s'ouvrent. Une épaisse liasse composée de petites fiches attrape le regard. On y lit : « Buveur impénitent », « impulsif et violent », « malade mentale », « insulte au personnel », « trublion de la pire espèce », « à ne jamais reprendre ». Ces formules expéditives stigmatisent des centaines de pensionnaires étant partis, volontairement ou non, entre 1956 et 1980. L'historienne fait surgir de cette source les pratiques gestionnaires d'une institution en charge de personnes âgées, les scandales de la vie d'hospice, mais aussi une galerie de portraits, des trajectoires singulières, toutes marquées par les guerres et les crises du XXe siècle. Le fichier de Villers-Cotterêts permet d'entrer de plain-pied dans une histoire discordante de l'État social et de mettre en lumière la persistance de la disqualification des vieux pauvres. Qui sont ces femmes et ces hommes âgés qui ont suffisamment dérangé pour susciter un dispositif disciplinaire de papier spécifique pendant plus de vingt ans ? Quelle histoire nous livre l'administration de ces « indésirables » ?. »--Quatrième de couverture.

Japan's shift toward a super-aged society is being fueled by a combination of demographic factors. These include declining marriage and fertility rates and increases in life expectancy enabled by advances in medical science and improved nutrition and living conditions. Another trend is the rise in the number of older single-person or couple households as a result of various lifestyle and demographic changes, including a general decrease in average household size, the rise of smaller nuclear households, and the growing number of people who remain unmarried. The socioeconomic challenges arising from an aging and declining population have been at the forefront of Japan's political and public policy discourse since the rapid population aging trend was first recognized in the 1980s. Central to the aging population challenge is the decline in working-age population, which could lead to labor force shortages and lower economic growth. Recognition of these growing challenges has engendered a shift in aging policy toward aging in place and healthy aging, with older persons encouraged to remain active and in their existing communities for as long as possible. The idea is not only to improve the well-being of older persons and their quality of life, but also to reduce the burden on the state of providing for the burgeoning health and welfare needs of a super-aged population. Japan has implemented several policies, guidelines, and programs to promote healthy aging. Japanese authorities and cities are implementing several projects in housing and homebased care to facilitate aging in place. Some of these projects are reviewed in this report.

"This book explores practical examples of co-production in criminal justice research and practice. Through a series of seven case studies, the authors examine what people do when they co-produce knowledge in criminal justice contexts: in prisons and youth detention centres; with criminalised women; from practitioners' perspectives; and with First Nations communities. Co-production holds a promise: that people whose lives are entangled in the criminal justice system can be valued as participants and partners, helping to shape how the system works. But how realistic is it to imagine criminal justice 'service users' participating, partnering, and sharing genuine decision-making power with those explicitly holding power over them? Taking a sophisticated yet accessible theoretical approach, the authors consider issues of power, hierarchy and different ways of knowing to understand the perils and possibilities of co-production under the shadow of 'justice'. In exploring these complexities, the book brings cautious optimism to co-production partners and project leaders. This book provides a foundational text for scholars and practitioners seeking to apply co-production principles in their research and practice. With stories from Australia, the UK and Ireland, the text will appeal to the international community. For students of criminology and social work, the book's critical insights will enhance their work in the field"-- Provided by publisher.

L'atelier de Jean-Jacques Rousseau se compose d'une succession de lieux symboles ou, au cours d'une vie en mouvement, il a quelque temps pose sa table de travail : parmi eux son donjon a Montmorency, son laboratoire a Motiers, cette chambre qui ne ressemblait en aucune maniere a celle d'un homme de lettres rue Platriere a Paris... sans compter bois et bosquets des promenades qu'il frequentait un carnet et un crayon en poche. Mais cet atelier est surtout l'immense espace de papier constitue par ses manuscrits de travail, des milliers de pages autographes aujourd'hui dispersees a travers le monde. Il nous permet de decouvrir les chemins de l'invention d'un ecrivain penseur critique des Lumieres, de suivre brouillons a l'appui la naissance du Contrat social, de l'Emile ou de La Nouvelle Heloise, et de regarder Rousseau annoter Platon, Montaigne ou Voltaire dans les marges des livres de sa bibliotheque.
