From Exclusion to Inclusion in Old Age
€10.00In Europe, people are living longer and in better health than ever before (Jagger et al, 2011). The rise of multigeneration societies has created the potential for unprecedented forms of exclusion and discrimination that are intertwined with age, giving rise to new images of ageing and old age and to different attitudes towards old age among older and younger persons.Yet it would be unwise to conceive of ageing per se as a cause of exclusion. In fact, the problem of social exclusion based on age may take different forms in different countries, reflecting their diverse age profiles and expectations as well as differing cultural orientations to age.The very complexity of these differences calls for a reconsideration of the application of distributive justice and highlights the need for a human rights-based approach that includes the old and very old. In this chapter, we argue that the promotion of social inclusion – with a sustainable governance system – through the allocation of equal rights to people of all ages represents an important element of a ‘society for all ages’ (UNECE, 2008).
The European Commission (2000) regards ‘discrimination’ as being the application of different treatment in a negative and unfavourable way, on the basis of race or origin, ethnicity, religion or convictions, handicap, age, or sexual orientation. In addressing the theme of social exclusion based on age discrimination in Europe, this chapter begins with a review of core processes of discrimination and exclusion based on old age, such as ageism, stigmatisation and stereotyping.Where appropriate,recent European data are presented to illuminate these processes.The chapter then evaluates a range of existing policy responses to age discrimination and exclusion in the form of legislative instruments available in European nations. Extending the lens beyond Europe, the focus then moves towards a variety of mechanisms and programmes initiated by the United Nations (UN) in the field of older persons’ human rights.

A 1000 Noses…. The Science of Smell – Ebook Version
Original price was: €99.00.€30.00Current price is: €30.00.Among the 5 senses we have, the sense of smell or olfaction1 is the least known and the most underrated of all. Yet the science of smell has much more mysteries and realities to reveal than meets the eye and nose…
An increasing body of scientific literature is unveiling new findings about the “olfactive machinery” and about its influence on a spectrum of human areas such as moods, cognition, performance, health, behaviour, all of which can have far reaching consequences on the future of flavour and fragrance.
For diagnosing, treating physical and mental illnesses, enhancing or doping the mood and performance with a range of potential innovative research, products and new markets for the fragrance industry.
This e‐book will give an overview of what we currently know of smell and olfaction: how smell works, what factors influence its perception, what effects smell has on the many areas of human life. Last but not least, it will analyse what implications those findings can have for the fragrance sector in general with a set of recommendations. Along the review, new research methods and measurements were collected to provide elements of novel study designs of olfaction for fragrance, which merge neuroscience with electro‐physiology parameters and psycho‐behavioural science.
Cutting edge science of smell will be addressed with the following perspectives in mind which will be presented in the last part of this e‐book:
- Implication for research and development
- Changes on the technology used to research and test
- Improvement in communication content, both for staff training and publicity
- Impact on reshaping marketing strategies
- Development of new markets (e.g. B2B)
This e‐book is divided in 3 parts:
- the “Anatomy of Smell”, the components and mechanism of the olfactory system and smell processing
- the “Power of Smell”, from the influencing factors to the impact of smell and its regeneration power
- the “Future of Smell and Fragrance”, an analysis of the implications for the private sector
