A practical and clarifying approach to aging and aging-related diseases Providing a thorough and extensive theoretical framework, The Biostatistics of Aging: From Gompertzian Mortality to an Index of Aging-Relatedness addresses the surprisingly subtlenotion—with consequential biomedical and public health relevance—of what it means for acondition to be related to aging. In this pursuit, the book presents a new quantitative methodto examine the relative contributions of genetic and environmental factors to mortality anddisease incidence in a population. With input from evolutionary biology, population genetics, demography, and epidemiology, this medically motivated book describes an index of aging-relatedness and also features: Original results on the asymptotic behavior of the minimum of time-to-event random variables, which extends those of the classical statistical theory of extreme valuesA comprehensive and satisfactory explanation based on biological principles of the Gompertz pattern of mortality in human populationsThe development of an evolution-based model of causation relevant to mortality and aging-related diseases of complex etiologyAn explanation of how and why the description of human mortality by the Gompertz distribution can be improved upon from first principlesThe amply illustrated analysis of real-world data, including a program for conducting the analysis written in the freely available R statistical softwareTechnical appendices including mathematical material as well as an extensive and multidisciplinary bibliography on aging and aging-related diseases The Biostatistics of Aging: From Gompertzian Mortality to an Index of Aging-Relatedness is an excellent resource for practitioners and researchers with an interest in aging and aging-related diseases from the fields of medicine, biology, gerontology, biostatistics, epidemiology, demography, and public health.

Black Bird: One Man's Freedom Hides in Another Man's Darkness

Black Bird: One Man's Freedom Hides in Another Man's Darkness

The basis for the Apple TV+ show Black Bird. In with the Devil presents the true story of a young man destined for greatness on the football field--until a few wrong turns led him to a ten-year prison sentence. He was offered an impossible mission: Coax a confession out of a fellow inmate, a serial killer, and walk free. Jimmy Keene grew up outside of Chicago. Although he was the son of a policeman and rubbed shoulders with the city's elite, he ended up on the wrong side of the law and was sentenced to ten years with no chance of parole. Just a few months into his sentence, Keene was approached by the prosecutor who put him behind bars. He had convicted a man named Larry Hall for abducting and killing a fifteen-year-old. Although Hall was suspected of killing nineteen other young women, there was a chance he could still be released on appeal. If Keene could get him to confess to two murders, there would be no doubt about Hall's guilt. In return, Keene would get an unconditional release from prison. But he could also get killed. A story that gained national notoriety, this is Keene's powerful tale of peril, violence, and redemption.

You Won't Even Have My Bones

Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus was a critical figure in Western history. Without his accomplishments in the Second Punic War between Rome and Carthage, it is likely that Rome would never have become the dynamic power center that it did. The languages most Europeans speak and the religions most of us practice would be entirely different today.In 218 B.C. the Carthaginian General Hannibal brought an army of Mercenaries across the Alps and into Italy. His goal was to subdue Rome, the most powerful city in Italy. He won battle after battle until the Romans, under the leadership of Quintus Fabius Maximus Cunctator stopped meeting him in battle on his terms. The war became one of attrition, which Hannibal could not win. The war would have ended on very different terms, however, terms much more favorable to Carthage, if not for the accomplishments of one man: Publius Cornelius Scipio Africanus.Scipio was only seventeen when Hannibal invaded Italy. His father was the Roman Consul at that time. In the first conflict between Hannibal and the Romans, the Battle of Ticinus, the Romans were badly defeated. Young Scipio, however, showed his prowess by leading a cavalry charge from a hill and rescuing his wounded father who was about to be captured or killed.Two years later Scipio was a military tribune at the Battle of Cannae. This battle was an utter disaster for Rome, with fifty-five thousand Roman and allied soldiers killed. Scipio survived and afterwards rallied the survivors, forcing those who wanted to abandon Rome and take service with foreign kings to swear loyalty to Rome.After the Battle of Cannae, Scipio was determined to defeat Hannibal. To gain authority he ran for Aedile at the age of twenty-three. This made him eligible for the Roman Senate. After his father and uncle were killed at the Battles of the Upper Baetis in Spain, Scipio got himself assigned to lead the Roman legions in Spain. In four years he drove all of the Carthaginian forces from Spain, having conquered New Carthage, and having won battles at Baecula and Ilipa.Scipio then returned to Rome and ran for Consul at the age of 29. He planned an invasion of Africa despite the opposition of Fabius. His plan was that when the Roman army brought the war to Africa, the Carthaginians would summon Hannibal home to defend their city.Scipio and Hannibal met at the Battle of Zama in 202 B.C., and it was a decisive Roman victory, forcing Carthage into a treaty on Roman terms.Rome was now poised to conquer the civilized world.This book is an account of Scipio's life told in the first person. Despite his monumental accomplishments on behalf of Rome, Scipio is eventually brought down by one of his rivals, a man named Marcus Porcius Cato, or Cato the Elder. Cato accused Scipio's brother of financial malfeasance, and Scipio himself of bribery, charges that were totally unfounded. Scipio, enraged at this treatment, decided to leave Rome for Liternum one of the colonies he founded for his soldiers. He was in ill health and died two years later. When asked if he wanted to be buried in Rome, he replied "Ungrateful fatherland, you won't even have my bones."

I god tro : omsorg och grymhet i samhällets barnavård

I god tro : omsorg och grymhet i samhällets barnavård

Claes Levin

Arkiv förlag/A-Z förlag
2021
nidottu
Omsorg, fostran och straff är genomgående teman i barnavårdens historia. Vårt moraliska ansvar inför den Andre ger grunden till omsorg och gemenskap ur vårt moraliska förakt för dem som inte är som vi uppstår grymheten. I god tro handlar om den tunna gränsen mellan omsorg och grymhet och kampen för upprätthållandet av samhällsordningen. Fokus ligger på samhällets ansvar för fattiga barn och barnfamiljer idag och i förfluten tid. Den sociala barnavården uppstod när välfärdssamhället omvandlade gamla moraliska värderingar om fattigdom och fattiga till rationell socialpolitik. Barnavården fick då ansvar för vården av barn och unga, men också för att upprätthålla gränsen mellan välfärdsstaten och "det sociala". Motsättningen täcktes över av en ideologi om barnavård. Som socialpolitisk institution betraktad har den sociala barnavården varit en framgång: den bidrar till att upprätthålla en god samhällsordning. Men vad beträffar att ge hjälp till barn och unga måste den ses som ett misslyckande. Claes Levin är legitimerad psykolog, filosofie doktor i socialt arbete och tidigare prefekt vid Socialhögskolan i Lund. "I denna bok anlägger Claes Levin ett helt nytt perspektiv på den sociala barnavården genom att belysa hur det kyrkliga arvet mötte framväxten av 'det sociala' under industrialiseringen och urbaniseringen. Han visar hur den dolda moralen levde vidare under den industriella revolutionen, då samhällets ekonomiska, politiska och sociala system förändrades i grunden." Hans Swärd, professor i socialt arbete och ordförande för Centralförbundet för socialt arbete

The Old Bunch

The Old Bunch

David Rolfe; Meyer Levin

Rancho Lazarus Publications
2014
nidottu
Meyer Levin was a Chicago-born Jewish author. His best-known book is "Compulsion", which is a novelization of the notorious Loeb and Leopold murder case of 1924. Levin was in a special position to tell the story, because he was personally acquainted with the perpetrators. Levin is also famous for bringing Anne Frank's diary to light. But "The Old Bunch" may be his greatest work. "The Old Bunch" was written in the mid-1930's, and it tells the tales of the kids of a Chicago Jewish ghetto coming of age and stepping out into the world. It's presumably something of a fantasy autobiography, echoing Levin's own adventures -- Levin was born in 1905, and the events in this book take place beginning in the year 1921 (when the "bunch" is graduating from school), and running through to 1934. The book is compelling for its individual stories and for its living window into times past. Because it was written prior to the horrors of WWII, it's a very pure view of the pre-war era. (Anything written later will necessarily be done with hindsight, and will likely de-emphasize "unimportant" details in favor of those that connect to major war events.) But the history is merely a fascinating byproduct of the vivid human stories that fill the pages. "The Old Bunch" is surprisingly unknown today, which is a shame. This really is one of the great novels, in a class with Tolstoy and Steinbeck. It conveys the entirety of the era: The people, the culture, the economics, Chicago politics (very dirty ), with a global perspective as well (some characters travel to Europe and Palestine). It covers the Roaring Twenties, Prohibition, the Great Depression, and the New Deal. To read the book is to live and breathe in these bygone days. Most importantly, Meyer Levin depicts events without agenda or judgment. Characters may be Democrats or Republicans or workers or bosses or religionists or atheists or many other things, but all are portrayed with depth, and none are simple heroes or villains or symbols. These are, in the end, tales about the very personal and individual transitions to adulthood, and the elusive quest for wisdom. It is the same challenge that every generation must face. "The Old Bunch" was critically acclaimed and went through numerous print editions, but it eventually passed into the public domain and was temporarily forgotten. A Wall Street Journal article in 2012 ("Destiny's Children", by Joseph Epstein) sparked a revival of interest, and Rancho Lazarus Publications is proud to present a new edition, accurately rendered and true to the original text, and with the addition of occasional footnotes to clarify details of historical accuracy that the modern reader may not have on tap. With almost 700 pages of text (the original hardback book ran to almost 1000 pages), this is an epic novel. But far from being overlong, it's the sort of reading that leaves you wishing there was more. "Written in good hard-driving colloquial prose, full of sharp characterizations. . . A very fine novel." -- New Republic "A landmark -- vivid and exciting reading. It brilliantly succeeds in taking the reader on a memorable tour of the world in which the old bunch lived." -- The New York Times
