By André J van Rensburg. 2021
The book describes key socio-political reforms that helped shape post-apartheid South Africa’s mental health system. The author interrogates how reforms…
shaped public, community-based services for people living with severe mental illness, and how features of this care has been determined, in part at least, by the relations between actors and structures in the state, private for-profit health care, and civil society spheres. A description of the development of South Africa’s post-apartheid health system, and the contentions that emerge therein, sets the stage for an analysis of the country’s most tragic human rights failure during its democratic period, namely the Life Esidimeni tragedy. The roots of the tragedy are not only framed as a loss of life and dignity as a result of political corruption and administrative mismanagement, but as a power differential that ultimately highlights an unjust system that relegates its most vulnerable citizens to commodities, without voice and without agency. The book concludes that the commodification of severe mental illness has been a product of neoliberal discourses that have shaped the economistic ways in which the post-apartheid South African state have governed poverty and severe mental illness. This book will be of interest to scholars of health, social and economic policy in South Africa.DÉ y se le darÁ: ¿Dar quÉ?
By DRA PENSACOLA H JEFFERSON. 2021
Dios es el PRIMER Dador. El primer regalo asombroso que le dio a la humanidad fue la VIDA ESPIRITUAL. “……
.Dios formó al hombre del polvo de la tierra (CUERPO), y sopló en su nariz EL ALIENTO DE VIDA (ESPÍRITU); y el hombre se convirtió en alma viviente (ALMA)… ”(Génesis 2: 7 KJV). "... El Espíritu de Dios ME HIZO, Y EL ALIENTO del Todopoderoso" ME DA "VIDA ..." (Job 33: 4 NASB). "... Él mismo DA a todos VIDA, ALIENTO y todas las cosas ..." (Hechos 17 : 25 NASB). “… Te mando en la presencia de Dios, quien DA VIDA a todas las cosas…” (1 Timoteo 6:13 NASB). “… En el principio era el Verbo, y el Verbo estaba con Dios, y el Verbo era Dios. Él estaba en el principio con Dios. Todas las cosas llegaron a existir a través de Él, y sin Él nada llegó a existir que haya llegado a existir. EN ÉL HABÍA VIDA, y LA LUZ era la LUZ (gloria) de hombres ... (Juan 1: 1-4 NASB). El Hijo (Jesús) es el resplandor de la GLORIA de Dios ... " (Hebreos 1: 3 RV). "... el resplandor de Dios es como la LUZ del sol ..." (Habacuc 3: 4.NASB). "... El [Espíritu] invisible ... desde la creación del mundo es ... CLARAMENTE VISTO ..." (Romanos 1 : 20 KJV). LA VIDA, ya sea natural o espiritual, distingue a los VIVIENTES física y espiritualmente de los MUERTOS. La conclusión es que Dios es, en última instancia, el DADOR de vida y es el ÚNICO que puede DAR vida a cualquier cosa o persona.Health Systems in Transition: Canada, Third Edition

By Ellie D. Berger. 2021
The Canadian population is aging, bringing with it an increasing number of social and economic challenges. With the aging of…
the workforce, the reconceptualization of older workers and retirement, the increasing share of women in the labour force, the elimination of mandatory retirement, the fluctuating economy, and the changes to the pension system, barriers to employment for older workers, such as ageism, need to be of central concern. Ageism at Work examines the subjective experiences of older workers in Canada and explores how they negotiate ageism and manage their interactions in the employment setting. Further, this book looks at the intersection between age and gender and the pervasiveness of gendered ageism in the labour market. Finally, this book examines employers’ attitudes towards older workers quantitatively, while also exploring their first-hand accounts about them through qualitative inquiry. Understanding how ageism plays out in the labour market, how it intersects with sexism, and its consequences on a personal level are critical to moving the discussion on discrimination and human rights forward in Canada.Boost your immunity—and your health Now more than ever, we are seeking safe and natural ways to help bolster our…
