Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.6K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Drug Dosing: Geriatric Patients

158
Elderly individuals encompass a diverse population with varying degrees of age-related physiological changes. Defining the elderly presents challenges, as the geriatric population is often arbitrarily categorized as individuals older than 65. However, many individuals in this group lead active and healthy lives, with an increasing number surpassing 85 years and falling into the older elderly category. Physiological changes associated with aging impact performance capacity and homeostatic...

Pharmacodynamics in Geriatric Patients: Effects of Age

134
Age-related pharmacokinetic changes are extensively documented, but understanding age-related pharmacodynamic alterations is relatively limited. This knowledge gap can be partly attributed to the complexity of developing appropriate measures of drug responses compared to bioanalytical methods for determining drug concentrations.Most information regarding age-related differences in human pharmacodynamics originates from cross-sectional studies. However, these studies assume that observed mean...

Aging01:26

Aging

504
Aging is a complex biological phenomenon influenced by various processes that affect cellular and systemic functions. Several prominent theories attempt to explain its mechanisms, highlighting cellular limitations, oxidative damage, and hormonal changes as central factors in aging.
Cellular Clock Theory
The cellular clock theory posits that the human lifespan is closely tied to the finite capacity of cells to divide, a phenomenon governed by telomeres, which are protective caps at the ends of...

Pharmacokinetics in Geriatric Patients: Effect of Age on Drug Absorption

157
As individuals age, their body's physiology evolves, affecting drug pharmacokinetics. The most apparent changes occur in the gastrointestinal tract, where an increase in gastric pH, a delay in gastric emptying, and a reduction in gastrointestinal motility are observed. Remarkably, these changes do not substantially modify the absorption of orally administered drugs, particularly those absorbed via passive diffusion.Transdermal drug delivery emerges as a highly viable method for older adults due...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Human Resources Management
  • Sociology of Work

Background:

  • The aging workforce presents unique challenges and opportunities for employers.
  • Understanding employer perceptions is crucial for effective workforce integration of older workers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare employer perceptions and knowledge about older workers with official statistical data.
  • To identify gaps between employers' views and reality concerning older workers' labor force participation and retirement.

Main Methods:

  • A questionnaire survey administered to 373 employers.
  • Statistical analyses including T-Tests and logistic regression models were employed.

Main Results:

  • Significant discrepancies were found between employer perceptions and official data regarding older workers' labor force participation, health status, and women's retirement age.
  • Employer characteristics influenced preferences for older worker labor force participation and retirement age.

Conclusions:

  • Gaps in employer knowledge may create obstacles for older workers.
  • Educational interventions must be customized to organizational and employer-specific characteristics to improve awareness and inform policy.
