Evaluation Study on the Layout of Community Senior Living Facilities in the Main Area of Shanghai from the Perspective of Senior Life Circle

The senior life circle is the basic unit space for building a high quality of senior living in the city, and the service level of the community senior facilities within it is directly related to the daily quality of life of the elderly residents. From the perspective of daily life needs, this study constructs a community senior living facility system consisting of “three levels, six categories and fourteen items”. Taking the main urban area of Shanghai as an example, the relationship between the supply and demand of community senior facilities and senior residents is studied from two perspectives: facility coverage and facility accessibility. The results show that: (1) the community senior living facilities system needs to be improved; (2) there are large gaps in the configuration of care facilities and living facilities; (3) the number of facilities served per capita shows the characteristics of “high value concentration in the center, middle value concentration in the transition area, and peripheral mixed”. The study recommends improving the construction of the facility system, broadening the service supply channels, enhancing the accessibility of facilities by grading and zoning, and promoting the sharing of facilities across administrative boundaries.

Study on Leisure and Sports in The Middle Ages from the perspective Of Daily Life

Life in the middle ages has always been a hot topic of great concern and debate in the history circle. In the past, people always thought that the life of medieval people was monotonous and difficult, and it was always closely linked with religion. With the deepening of academic research, especially the perspective of daily life history research, people's understanding of medieval life has been greatly broadened, and medieval life has become more three-dimensional and rich. As some scholars believe, life in the Middle Ages was actually happier and more leisurely. This paper is also based on the perspective of daily life history, focusing on the sports and leisure topics of medieval life through case analysis. In addition to introducing the academic debates of medieval life, this paper will focus on the basic background and main leisure ways of this period, such as football and intelligence games and other sports activities and game entertainment. This paper holds that the sports and leisure styles in the middle ages represent the common characteristics of the common people and the aristocrats in this period. These types of leisure and the rules or roles in the games can also be regarded as a powerful epitome of this period. Although this paper hopes to discuss the popular connotation of daily life, there are still some deficiencies in the detailed analysis of this paper. This paper is expected to cause extensive discussion on the study of daily life in the middle ages.

A Study on the renewal strategy of historical urban districts in the view of daily life—taking the historic district of Coloane in Macau as an example

Through the study of the renewal and design strategy of the historic area in Coloane of Macau, this paper probes into the spatial texture of the historic area and the unique geo-humanities intertwined with the Chinese and Portuguese culture, and puts forward to look for the hidden spatial order behind the space from the perspective of daily life, excavate the familiar neighborhood relations, and reconstruct existing space with the new business form of artistic culture and tourism development. More attention should be paid to daily life trajectory and behavior logic, thus forming a field with daily vitality and spatial and temporal memory.

An Analysis of The Decline of The Roman Empire From The Perspective of Daily Life

The Roman Empire created a prosperous situation in western history and experienced many major attempts and problems in western society since modern times. The rise and fall of the Roman Empire has always been a thought-provoking and important issue. This paper mainly reexamines the decline of the late Roman Empire from the perspective of life. This paper is mainly divided into two parts. The first part mainly combs the relevant research on life culture and civil life in ancient Rome in recent years from the perspective of civil life and social change. It can be seen that lifestyle has always been an important factor to measure the rise and fall of a country, whether in the period of the Roman Republic or the Roman Empire. The second part mainly analyzes the text based on Histories, and summarizes the final response of many factors to the decline of the Roman Empire in public life. This paper holds that the main manifestation of the decline of the Roman Empire is the numbness of people's life. Due to the growing gap between the rich and the poor, the social class has been destroyed, the city has become increasingly declining, and the rural atmosphere has swept through the city. The people are completely dependent on religion, and the church undertakes the function of people's moral education and ideal vision. The numbness of life became an important reason and symbol of the decline of the Roman Empire. This paper will be helpful to further discuss the root causes of the decline of the Roman Empire from the cultural perspective of daily life.

Good Baby, Good Life

Abstract This article explores the question of ‘a good life’ through a daily-life perspective. It focuses on a case regarding the abolition of infanticide, through which the relations and interactions between the socialist state and ethnic minorities of southwest China are examined. By elaborating how an Akha custom (infanticide) that guarantees communal goodness/purity was abolished, the research reveals three competing or collaborating notions of ‘good life’, where the Akha’s cosmological ‘good life’ is partly reformed to obey state law and to meet its members’ personal desires. This is an unusual case in that the ethnic cultural authorities from a small, politically marginalised, frontier-dwelling and egalitarian group in southwest China do not ‘resist’ or ‘collaborate with’ the state in the expected way. Instead, they draw on state power to oppose their own customs. With such a unique case, the research helps to diversify our understandings of state–society relations in southwest China.

회고록을 통해 본 여성독립운동가들의 활동 - 허은과 한도신을 중심으로 -

For 36 years under Japanese rule, the most important thing in the independence movement was survival itself. Independence activists who fled abroad were in refugee status and were extremely poor. The wife of an independence activist did economic activities on behalf of her husband and also led a family as a housewife. BR This paper describes the activities of the wives of independence activists, Hu Eun(許銀, 1909∼1997) and Han Do-sin(韓道信, 1895 ∼1986), through the memoir of women independence activists. While men were active on ‘the outside’, wives played a fundamental role in reproducing the independence movement. However, previous research has neglected the role of these women. According to the female memoirs, the independence movement history should be newly described from the perspective of daily life and life history. There is also a need for a new perspective on the contributions of independence activists

Needs and preferences among patients with high-grade glioma and their caregivers - A longitudinal mixed methods study

Previous reports on the patient perspective of daily life during a 1-year high-grade glioma (HGG) trajectory from the time of diagnosis are sparse. The aim of this longitudinal mixed methods study is to identify the specific needs and preferences for rehabilitation and supportive care and how it links with physical activity, psychological measures and health quality longitudinally over the first year after diagnosis among patients with HGG and their caregivers by integrating qualitative and quantitative findings. Using a longitudinal mixed methods design, patients with malignant glioma (n=30) and their caregivers (n=33) were interviewed and completed questionnaires (patients only) about physical activity level, anxiety/depression and quality of life five times during the 1-year period. Their needs and preferences included interventions designed to re-define hope after diagnosis, health promoting physical activities initiated early, psychological symptom management strategies, and life planning. Caregivers are committed to their caregiving role, but their engagement is nonetheless challenged over time by enormous caregiver burdens. The identified specific needs and preferences favour supportive care, education, information and rehabilitation. Guidelines attentive to these needs and implemented in clinical practice have the potential to improve patients' health-related quality of life and support caregivers by involving them more actively in care and management.

Factors of subjective heat stress of urban citizens in contexts of everyday life

Abstract. Heat waves and the consequent heat stress of urban populations have a growing relevance in urban risk management and strategies of urban adaptation to climate change. In this context, social science studies on subjective experiencing of heat as stress by urban citizens are a new emerging field. To contribute to the understanding of self-reported subjective heat stress and its major determinants in a daily life perspective, we conducted a questionnaire survey with 323 respondents in Karlsruhe, Germany, after heat waves in July and August 2013. Statistical data analysis showed that subjective heat stress is an issue permeating everyday activities. Subjective heat stress at home was lower than at work and in general. Subjective heat stress in general, at home, and at work was determined by the health impairments experienced during the heat and the feeling of being helplessly exposed to the heat. For subjective heat stress at home, characteristics of the residential building and the built environment additionally played a role. Although the rate of implemented coping measures was rather high, coping measures showed no uniform effect for the subjective heat stress. We conclude that in terms of urban adaptation strategies, further research is needed to understand how various processes of daily social (work) life enable or limit individual coping and that communication strategies are important for building capacities to better cope with future heat waves.

Exploration of English Idioms about Fruit and the Frequent Usage in Different Language Culture

English idioms are commonly found in the oral and written English, which are quite vivid, concise and carried with a large amount of information. It makes up the major part of English language. In English idioms, fruit ones are a unique expression, which are widely accepted and applied in the daily life of English-speaking countries and carried with heavy cultural connotations. This study made an exploration of the historical origins of English idioms about fruit based on Greek mythology and Bible of Christianity. Besides, it made a detailed analysis of their frequent usage from the perspective of daily life. With the deeper understanding of culture of English-speaking countries, there will be gradually enhanced skills of interpersonal communication between different cultures.

Building is the product of human beings adapting to climate, whose production and development have been inseparable from climate. By combining information and data of actual survey, paying attention to referring to relevant disciplines and referring to view and study method of ecological anthropology in the process of discussion, this paper attempts to explore the relationship between architectural culture and climatic environment from the perspective of daily life and custom and tradition in Manchu agglomeration in the south of Liaoning.

Perspectivas psicossociais para o estudo do cotidiano de trabalho

Este estudo teve por objetivo analisar o debate e o aprofundamento teórico e metodológico desenvolvido nos estudos sobre a vida cotidiana no trabalho. A investigação partiu do diálogo interdisciplinar entre a antropologia do trabalho, a ergologia e a psicologia social do trabalho e sistematizou as contribuições mútuas entre esses campos científicos, suas aproximações e seus afastamentos da tematização e da apropriação da atividade humana no trabalho sob a perspectiva do cotidiano. A análise comparativa destacou eixos que diferenciam as formas de aproximação ao objeto, que se referem às relações estabelecidas entre saberes práticos e técnico-científicos e aos modos de intervenção sobre as situações de trabalho. As abordagens comparativas compartilham o interesse em conhecer o trabalho real, o valor conferido aos conhecimentos dos trabalhadores e a sensibilidade às dimensões micropolíticas do cotidiano. Conclui-se que a localização em cada um desses eixos depende da maior ou menor filiação às tradições da antropologia ou da ergonomia.

Measuring psychometric characteristics of the elderly sensory responsivity questionnaire– A tool for screening sensory processing difficulties in elderly adults

Background: The function of the sensory systems decreases in the elderly. This may negatively impact the person's performance and independence in daily living. Most studies refer to the decrease in specific modalities and to sensory acuity rather than to general sensory processing in all modalities. Moreover, there is a lack of evaluation tools that focus on these general sensory processing abilities with functional daily life perspective in the elderly population. Objectives: To examine the psychometric characteristics of the Elderly Adult Sensory Sensitivity Questionnaire (ESRQ) - an adapted version of the Sensory Responsiveness Questionnaire (SRQ) version II. The ESRQ aims to screen sensory processing difficulties among elderly adults, as expressed in daily living situations. Methods: The sample consisted of 361 participants, aged 50-86 years, who were and in good health and functionally independent. Participants were divided into three age groups: 50-59; 60-69 and 70-86. All participants completed a demographic and health status questionnaire and the ESRQ. Results: Analysis of ESRQ scales revealed five factors, which explained 45.66% of the total variance. Internal consistency was high for the full questionnaire and moderate to high for each factor. No significant differences were found between the age groups. Women showed significantly higher sensitivity than men in several modalities. Implications and conclusions: ESRQ may serve as a suitable tool for screening sensory processing difficulties in the elderly. Gender may play a role in sensory processing changes in the elderly. Further studies should examine the psychometric properties of the ESRQ among elderly people with disabilities. Establishing the prevalence of sensory processing difficulties in the elderly may be beneficial for developing and improving intervention strategies to overcome functional deficits.

Fear of falling from a daily life perspective; narratives from later life

Fear of falling is a well-known condition in later life. The aim of this study was to illuminate the experiences and the meaning of fear of falling in a daily-life context. The method used was a qualitative study inspired by interpretive phenomenology. In narrative interviews, five community-dwelling women over 80 years of age told about their fear of falling from a daily-life perspective. The overall thematic analysis resulted in three main themes: the meaning of managing daily life necessities; keeping in contact with the outside; living with fear. The findings showed that to live with fear of falling was to discipline daily life, and to learn to live with the challenge of a vulnerable bodily condition and of losing control at different levels: from falling, from incontinence, from dirt and from the stigma of being in a humiliating situation. The women created a perception of independence while they were dependent on help and community care and on news from the outside. At an existential level, they coped with their fear by strengthening their will. The conclusion was that the older women studied accepted the condition of fear of falling. They shared the ability to cope in various ways with the limitations of their bodily capacity and their imbalance.

Indispensable chairs and comforting cushions — Falls and the meaning of falls in six older persons lives

The aim of the study was to illuminate the meaning of falls for older adults in an everyday perspective. In narrative in-depth interviews, four women and two men, 80–94 years old, told their stories from a daily-life perspective; they had experienced falling several times. The methodological approach used was interpretive phenomenology, in order to grasp the meaning of the participants' situations and everyday practices. The women had learned and used a special technique; they had disciplined their bodies with exercises and training activities, although they suffered from several chronic illnesses. In order to cope with the falling episodes, the women had equipped sofas and chairs with cushions to soften the process of getting up again, whereas the two men sat in a chair moving as little as possible. In handling the falls, each participant showed individual coping strategies and adaptive resources to achieve a life, experiencing a feeling of being well.

Developing Clinical Knowledge through a Narrative-Based Method of Interpretation

The results of research using a narrative analysis provide new clinical knowledge, but the methods used are unknown to many readers. In this paper we present an example of how an analysis may be performed in practice. The purpose of the interpretation of this specific story was to develop clinical knowledge of how it is to live with chronic heart failure from a daily life perspective. The steps in the interpretation process, within the framework of Paul Ricoeur's Interpretation theory, were: (1) general or naïve reading, (2) distancing, (3) examination of discourse, (4) conjectures and questions, and (5) reflection over the whole. The demonstrated interpretation of the interview resulted in a theme called: "Struggling to comprehend medical information". This systematic way of working with narratives makes implicit assumptions about the relationship between meaning and language explicit. These themes can be used in everyday practice as clinical tools. Because of the interpretative nature of human understanding the experienced health professional will be capable of integrating evidence-based research findings and individual illness experience.
