DOWNLOAD EBOOKA timeless classic of economic theory that remains fascinating and pertinent today, this is Frank Knight's famous explanation of why perfect competition cannot eliminate profits, the important differences between "risk" and "uncertainty," and the vital role of the entrepreneur in profitmaking. Based on Knight's PhD dissertation, this 1921 work, balancing theory with fact to come to stunning insights, is a distinct pleasure to read. FRANK H. KNIGHT (1885-1972) is considered by some the greatest American scholar of economics of the 20th century. An economics professor at the University of Chicago from 1927 until 1955, he was one of the founders of the Chicago school of economics, which influenced Milton Friedman and George Stigler.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKSocial isolation and loneliness are serious yet underappreciated public health risks that affect a significant portion of the older adult population. Approximately one-quarter of community-dwelling Americans aged 65 and older are considered to be socially isolated, and a significant proportion of adults in the United States report feeling lonely. People who are 50 years of age or older are more likely to experience many of the risk factors that can cause or exacerbate social isolation or loneliness, such as living alone, the loss of family or friends, chronic illness, and sensory impairments. Over a life course, social isolation and loneliness may be episodic or chronic, depending upon an individual's circumstances and perceptions. A substantial body of evidence demonstrates that social isolation presents a major risk for premature mortality, comparable to other risk factors such as high blood pressure, smoking, or obesity. As older adults are particularly high-volume and high-frequency users of the health care system, there is an opportunity for health care professionals to identify, prevent, and mitigate the adverse health impacts of social isolation and loneliness in older adults. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults summarizes the evidence base and explores how social isolation and loneliness affect health and quality of life in adults aged 50 and older, particularly among low income, underserved, and vulnerable populations. This report makes recommendations specifically for clinical settings of health care to identify those who suffer the resultant negative health impacts of social isolation and loneliness and target interventions to improve their social conditions. Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults considers clinical tools and methodologies, better education and training for the health care workforce, and dissemination and implementation that will be important for translating research into practice, especially as the evidence base for effective interventions continues to flourish.

Chapter One analyzes the relationships between economic downturns and marketing strategies, to provide a snapshot of all the marketing actions developed in a context of economic crisis, trying to give response to one relevant question: "Is the economic crisis changing marketing strategies?" Chapter Two evaluates the effect the 2008 crisis had on the Hungarian industry and on industrial enterprises and to show the strategies and crisis management methods that the industrial enterprises applied during the time of crisis. Chapter Three develops a new model of indicators, aimed to complete gross domestic product (GDP) as the main indicator of economic growth to achieve a better quality of life. Chapter Four discusses economic stress and fear of the financial crisis. Chapter Five reviews empirical research which investigates the impact of economic crises and recessions on suicide. Chapter Six examines the effects of the economic crisis on mental health in Spain. Chapter Seven examines the effects of the Austrian Health Fund Law in 2009 and explores the effects of the economic crisis of 2008 in vulnerable countries of Europe, such as Hungary, France, Italy, Spain and Portugal, in relation with countries sharing similar economic characteristics, but they have not experienced the effects of the economic crisis. Chapter Eight describes the relationships between economic and political crises which occurred repeatedly in Madagascar, and several socio-demographic and health parameters over the 1960-2010 period.
