A Journey into Western Academia

Juggling two languages, I've come to believe that each language is unique to their possessors and the uniqueness of a language often goes with untranslatableness hand in hand. So, to avoid losing its message in translation, I just leave it as it is 学无止境术有乾坤 - a Chinese proverb chosen as my motto for 2017.

Cortright, Brant 2015, The Neurogenesis diet and lifestyle: upgrade your brain, upgrade your life, Psyche Media, CA.
Author: Dr Brant Cortright (BA in Psychology; PhD in Clinical Psychology)
Content: a neuroscience research literature cohesively presented by various means of researching, combing, compiling, correlating.

High rates of neurogenesis are associated with: 1) higher cognitive function 2) better memory and faster learning 3) emotional vitality and resilience 4) protection from stress, anxiety, and depression 5) elevated immunity 6) enhanced overall brain function
The human brain consists of 60 per cent fat, fatty acids = essential fatty acids in particular the omega-3 - coming from dietary sources

Cooking with vegetable oil/canola(modified rapeseed oil) as well as eating burned food is a disaster for neurogenesis - replace it with butter or coconut oil (saturated fat).
Sugar = high carbohydrate diet produces insulin resistance + high glucose levels - damage every organ in the body

To sum up 1) learning 2) moving - aerobic is the best of all (keep breathing) 3) sleep 4) diet (calories restriction) 5) reduce stress

Punjab Hill States (later capital Lahore) – Mughal Empire – 1947 India-Pakistan partition - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzI34ltZdWg – Indus River (Harappa) the cradle of India early civilisation.

The Mughals came from the centre of Asia. The Mughal Empire began in 1526 with the 1st Emperor Babur - the descendant of Genghis Khan, and ended in 1858.
Religion tolerance was one of the factors that Mughal Empire become the most advanced place on the planet at that time. The ruler Akbar began a campaign for religious tolerance: eliminated taxes that discriminated against Hindus, banned the enslavement of captives taken in war, and married into royal Hindu families.

The Taj Mahal, a tomb situated in Agra in India, is a complex of gardens, mosques, and minarets constructed as a tribute to Shah Jehan’s wife, Mumtaz Mahal.

Zwiers, Jeff A 2008, Building academic language
works at the Centre to Support Excellence in Teaching at Stanford University; a researcher but often works in classroom with teachers
http://online.stanford.edu/instructors/jeff-zwiers

terms and tactics are vital for describing the abstract concepts, higher-order thinking processes, and complex relationships in each discipline
content knowledge, thinking skills, and literacy skills; all together improve through 1) higher-order thinking processes 2) extensive modelling and scaffolding, and 3) knowing its features
academic language = school language = in academic settings = academic discourse skills = literacy practice in school = more advanced language
"if a lot is already there, then learning is much less work, with much less likelihood of failure" - invisible/background holdings, many (diverse students) end up doing a lot of guesswork/extra efforts as they figure out what xxx means to them.
going through the cognitive processes is not enough you're expected to be presented - in other words the words and their organization may be a more significant issue in learning than the actual content or skills that are being taught.
the dominant socioeconomic groups strongly influence what is valued in a society.
being on the same page - two groups: 1) normal one: follow the topic-centered, linear formant; 2) go on tangents focusing on personal connections with the content.
lack of clarity, lack of evidence, lack of focus, and extra language are no valued in the west = one main point + supporting evidence and logical reasons + summary

Berman, Sheri 2005, Understandingsocial democracy, Harvard University (conference paper)

Europr in the twentieth century can be divided into two: for the first half it was the most turbulent region on earth, convulsed by war, economic crisis, and social and political conflict; for the second half, it was among the most placid, a study in harmony and prosperity
two narratives commonly emergy in answer to the qustion (This account obviously contains some truth/partial truth). The first focuses on the struggle between democracy and its alternative, pitting liberals against fascism, National Socialism, and Marxist-Leninism. The second focuses on competition between capitalism and its alternatives, pitting liberals against socialist and communists. Democratic capitalism is simply the best, indeed the 'natural' form of societal organization, these stories assert, and once Western Europe fully embraced it, all was well.
In practice, a willingness to use political power to protect citizens from the ravages of untrammeled markets. The ideology that triumphed was not liberalism, as the 'End of History' folks would have it, it was social democacy.

popular theories at that time: poor people tended to be lazy and immoral -- Thomas Malthus cautined against intervening help, better that the poor should starve and thus 'decrease the surplus population.'
Friedrich Engels read the same report on child labor, with his collaborator Karl Marx, envisioned an eventual revolution
Dickens was an anti-revolutionary suggesting employers were responsible for the well-being of their employees
Thomas Paine .. argued in 'Rights of Man' for a kind of system of welfare, old age pensions and national disability insurance

Locke and Rousseau, each in quite different ways, had argued that the conditions of nature provided an appropriate standard against which to measure existing social institutions, and their doctrines could be used to support revolutionary causes.

The growth of large-scale industry showed signs of undercutting presuppositions aound which classical laissez-faire doctrine had been organised. Moreover, this stage of industrial expansion appeared to be associated with increasing economic instability, marked by the recurrence of booms and panics. But, most important, the distributional system of an expanding economy - which Smith at least had expected would bring benefits to all - seemed not to be working smoothly... p.73 = Marx insisted that ... conflict was inherent in capitalism and tensions were the engines of historical change ... the causes of distress were rooted in the very nature of the system and could only be eliminated through the destruction of the system itself. ... This line of argument gave to Marxian economic thought another distinctive attribute. All of the other 'master models' have been constructed for the purpose of throwing light on the types of policy most likely to improve economic performance. Even early classicism, despite its appeal to the natural order, was reformist in orientation with its appeals for amendments in existing legislation and in prevailing administrative practice. The Marxian approach could not stand more sharply in contrast. Within its historical framework, policis intended to remedy economic ills are useless and constructive reforms impossible. The function of economic analysis is thus restricted to laying bare the laws of historical change which foredoom the destruction of capitalism, and to demostrating the futility of politics designed to relieve its ills.

In terms of the competing theories of cultural reproduction and cultural mobility, the research is even less clear. Some studies find evidence supporting cultural mobility theory (e.g., referencing), others support cultural reproduction theory (e.g., referencing), and still more research finds mixed evidence supporting both perspectives (e.g., referencing 1; 2; 3).
Although some studies demonstrate the presence of intergenerational cultural mobility (ref.), existing research does not clearly identify the causal mechanisms underlying cultural capital acquisition, particularly for disadvantaged families.

He issued a dire warning to the agrressively expanding America republic about the attenutating and ultimately lethal consequences of luxury. The series boldly presents an epic historical narrative that witnesses the emergence of an agraian civilisation from an early trible of hunters, its rapid growth into a luxurious but unsustainable empire, its violent collapse, and its afterlife as a collection of ominous overgrown ruins. The lifespan of the empire runs its course in a single metaphorical day as each of the five scenses depicts incremental progressions in time from dawn to dusk.

Downing, Lisa 2008, The Cambridge Introduction to Michel Foucault, Cambridge University Press.

1926-1984, a French philosopher and historian. born to a solidly bourgeois family, one of the most influential and controversial scholars of the post-World War II period.
Where Marx puts forward a system, Foucault seeks to demystify the owrking of systematisation. And - most significantly, - where Marx locates power in the oppression of one group, the proletariat, who, via the raising of class consciousnes, should be encrouaged to throw off their shackles and aim fro revolution, Foucault develops a model of power relations, a network or force field of influences which is never the unique preserve of the dominator over the dominated.
As well as flirting with various methodologies and currents of thought, he similarly enjoyed productive but fluid affiliations with several academic disciplines (including psychology, history, philosophy and French literary studeis), refusing to himself to commit himself wholly to nay of them, and seeking to challenge and renovate their methods and ideologies where possible.
Foucault sketches a generalogy of forms of government, taking as its starting point the sixteenth century, ... Machiavelli's The Prince, ... According to Machiavelli's treatise on leadership, the prince should lead via a transcendental relation of power over his people and territory, whether acquired by force, treaty or inheritance. The prince's role is to ensure his continued domination over the territory he has acquried from his external postion oof control... monolithic exteriority
The concept of governmentality, then, emerges in contradistinction to this transcendental model of rule... Rather, the art of governing invloves 'multiplicity and immancence' rather than 'transcendent singularity'. Its aim is the most effective functioning of the state, or 'the pursuit of the perfection and intensificationn of the processes which it directs.

weight gain shifts from hips and thighs (pear shape) to stomach area (apple shape). The latter is linked to a higher risk of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. The drop in the level of hormone oestrogen is thought to contribute to a redistribution of weight to the stomach area.
19-50 yo = 2000 calories; 51-70 yo = 1800? 1200 calories - 119 (less) = 1000?
causes = loss of lean muscle mass, reduced metabolism, hormonal issues, stress
exercises: brisk walk + resistance/strength traning at lease twince a week (push-ups, squats, lunges; free weights). maitaining - 300 mintues of moderate intensity each week (1 hr each day on 5 days a week).
a randomized controlled trial revealed that brisk walking combined with moderate resistance training imporved muscle strength, balance, and walking performance in women who recently went through menopause. Dividing the walking into two daily sessions was found to be more feasible than continuous walking.
nutrient dense diet, portion size, at least two alcohol-free days per week
calcium: 1500 mg per day, at least 1200 mg per day. While the average dietary calcium intake is approximatedly 600 mg per day, supplementation is needed to ensure adequate calcium intake, talking it with a meal to ensure optimal absorption.
vitamin D: 10-15 mintues of exposure of hands, arms, and face 2 to 3 times per week satisfies the body's requirement.

http://matt.might.net/articles/

Focus on your objectives (research) not on grades or coursework. During the first two years, find an advisor, pick a research area, read a lot of papers and try small, exploratory research projects; other than those are distractions!
Aim at 50 to 150 papers by the end of the third year, directed toward an eventual thesis, to defend the novelty of a proposed thesis. Two types: try to learn (non-required classes outside one's focus) too much thereby wasting time; go too far with the related search, reading so much about the intended area of research that one never starts that research = 'eternal' students (lack of goal-making a small but significant contribution to human knowledge).
Writing a paper is an iterative process: start with an outline and some rough notes; take a pass over the paper and improve it a little; rinse; repeat. 'Good enough' is better than 'perfect' as perfectionism is a tragic affliction in academia. Often, one who can't begin to write until having the perfect structure of the paper mapped out will never get started.
Do research not to learn.
Two stages of the dynamic: Early on, get help from the advisor on crafting early paper (doling out specific topic); when s knows more than the advisor, she needs to go rogue and start choosing the topic to investigate and initiating the paper write-ups when she is capable of selecting and attacking research problems of appropriate size and scope.
A monastic experience requiring biblical levels of devotion (even comes with bulit-in vows of poverty and obedience), read, write and solve problems on days, nights and weekends. It's not a 9 to 5 work or school.
Maintain contact with committee members in the latter years of .. (they are not an everyday presence like an advisor but they are the ones to sign off on your..
Treat it as a training process not aim too low or too high.

p.2792 The Second Epilogue (12 chapters in total)

chapter 1 - A question arose in the course of history
The centre question of this chap. is that, while history is the life of nations and of humanity, how does it work?

For ancient historians, it's the rulers carrying on the mission because they were believed as action takers of the God.
For modern historians, a) nations are guided by individual men (rejecting divine power); b) a known aim exsisting for all nations and humanity ('what is it?' - no one can answer. Two models given in p.2795 the greatness shown by Roman ...; the liberty, euality of Europe. (the chaotics of 1789 French Revolution)
Conclusion: there is a new force that is determining humanity. What is it exactly? -----> chapter 2

chap. 2 - views on the force from three categories of historian

Biographical historians including historians of separate individual nations: the force is a power inherent in heroes and rulers, e.g. Napoleon's power was based on his virtue and genius
Universal historians: the force is a result of multiplicity and variety .. = an even occured due to the interaction of many persons connected with the event. = power is the result of events while power produces events
Culture historians: the result of cutlure
Two reasons for the failure of understanding the force: the history is written by learned men who understand humanity on the basis of their own class. Power out of their realm wouldn't be recognised; the concepts such as enlightenment, civilisation, cultue are indefinite on a loose basis, it can therefore be readily introduced into any theory.

chap.3 - understanding the humanity's inquiry in two similies

the interpretation of peasants on the drive force on a locomotive
money in circulation

chap.4 - anaysis on power, not divine power but the relationship between collective power of people and their rulers .p.2816

matephor: fire in ancient times --> absolute power; in modern time -->a phenomenon
matephor: jurisprudence
analysis: a broad reading (individuals, events, history and philosophy), dilemma, contridictions, complexilities, implying the history should be the life of the peoples.

作者: yearshappy 时间: 21-9-2018 18:45
chap.5
An attempt in explaining the theory of the transference of the collective will of people to historic persons
e.g. the relationships between herdsman and the movement of the herd, the prominent animals and the direction of the herd movement

Explicitly arising the question: what causes historical events? It is Power. What is power? It's the collective will of the people transferred to one person. The meaning of the word is not understood.

chap.6
Examining the power of Napoleon
'The relation of the commander to those he commands is just what is called power' p.2836
A conclusion arrived: a command is executed only when it is related to a corresponding series of events. The commander takes the smallest part in the action itself.

chap.7
The examination is going on, e.g. how men are hauling a log. The physically working men lack of reflection of what they are doing while the commander does greater verbal activity. A man worked alone has reflections.
Similarly in the case of France, justifications for killing and for war were sought such as for the welfare of France, the glory of France, for liberty and equality, they had a very necessary significance in their own day. (justification in political unity, patriotism, balance of power, civilisation)

What is it really? temporary aims, collective crimes intertwines with complex forms of political and social life
e.g. ships' movements

providing the reader with the definitions of power and force .p.2844
Why war and revolution occur we do not know, only know that it is a law.

in-depth interviews .. with a convenience sample of five cases, including 6 older Chinese and analysed inductively for dominant themes.
transformation of filial culture has implications for policy, service planning and professional practice. It cannot be assumed that elderly Chinese immigrants' needs are being met through traditional family structures.

2004, Eating out: social differentiation, consumption and pleasure by Alan Warde, Lydia Martens

Studying of eating out: methods of investigation, theories and themes

- social scientific interest in food by nutritionists, social policy advisors, anthropologists, agricultural economists and historians. However, eating out was paid little attention to. tudy in terms of theoretical debates concerning the expression of social divisions through consumption behaviour and the bases for differential involvement in public and private spheres.
- modes of eating out had become a principal form in which social distinction could be expressed through food consumption. This implied that eating out had considerable ocial and symbolic significance for some groups, a circumstance making it worthy of s
- methods of investigation
...the empirical research involved in the project was designed to examine the symbolic significance of eating out and the relationship between public eating and domestic cooking, aiming to describe contemporary patterns and the symbolic associations of eating out and to relate these to socio-demographic characteristics of households, their domestic provisioning of food, diet and taste with the second and separate field of empirical and theoretical controversy , about domestic organisation of households.
...two principal forms of fieldwork were used, semi-structured interviews and a survey. The former provides superior data on the meanings and reasoning associated with eating out while the latter alllows estimation of general patterns among urban populations and the opportunity for satistically based exploration of the association between the social characteristics of respondents and their conduct.

2010, Ruth Lister, Understanding theories and concepts in social policy
Intro: lying the groundwork

theory: what and why? There's no clear 'right' or 'wrong' theory in this context. The theories that inform social policy are not like natural scientific theories which can be tested. Some social theories might be better than others at helping us to understand social realities; theories may differ in how much light they throw on vairous social phenomena. Alos, there can be debates and disputes within particular theoretical perspectives... approaching them with an open mind. Which normative theories you adopt will depend on your own values and beliefs.
conceptual foundation stones: the individual in terms of identity (at the heart of debates around postmodernism and social policy) + the 'welfare subject' increaseingly constructed by those in power; the interplay between individual human agency, structural constraints and opportunities and culture; the state, natioan and nation-state and the transnational and the global.

''to think imaginatively about how the classical concerns of social policy with social need, equality and citizenship, altruism, reciprocity, choice and efficiency translate at the glabal lelvel'' (Irving et al.2005, p.478)

Theoritical perspectives in the political arena

dominant post-war ideological perspectives: from 'middle way' to 'third way' and beyond (Three main Western political traditions: liberalism/neo-liberalism/libertarianism/Communitarianism, conservatism and socialism, each of which has spawned many sub-strands. )

(p.30-31)
Conservatism, a pragmatic approach rather than a fixed ideology based on an abstract set of principles, favouring trandition over change. It premised on a pessimistic view of human nature as inherently imperfect. believing in strong, authoritative government but with the sstate playing only a limited role in welfare. It places great emphasis on the family, private property and the nation and views society as an organic, moralcommunity.
Socialism, it is premised on an optimistic view of human nature as cooperative and creative
Liberalism, priority gives to the indiviudal who are regarded as free, rational and moral beings worthy of equal respect

critical perspectives: Marxism, feminism, anti-racism and envrionmentalism

Theoretical perspectives as an analytical tool

post-Fordism and postmodernism
social control, regulation and resistance
what's the problem? social constructionism

Concepts

needs
citizenship and community
liberty, equality and social justice

bringing all together (social movements, social welfare movements, the disabled people's movement, the global social justice movement

1922, Lu Hsun, The True Storry of Ah Q

intro
a brief account of Ah Q's victories
a further account of Ah Q' victories
the tragedy of love
the problem of livlihood
from restoration to decline
the revolution
barred from the revolution
the grand finale

Always came back to the idea of writing him, with great difficuties though.
(official biographies, autobiographies, unauthorised biographies, legends, supplementary bipgraphies, family histories, sketches)
.. undertainties regarding Ah Q's surname, personal name, place of origin, and background）

Victors who take no pleasure in a victory unless their opponents are as fierce as tigers or eagles: if their adversaries are as timid as sheep or chickens they find their triumph empty. There are other victors who, having carried all before them, with the enemy slain or surrendered, cowering in utter subjection, realise that now no foe, rival, or friend is left they have only themselves, supreme, solitary, desolate, and forlorn. Then they find their triumph a tragedy. But our hero was not so spineless. He was always exultant. This may be a proof of the moral supremacy of China over the rest of the world.

Poverty and Policy: the phenomenon of Taiwan's rapid economic develipment, Chien-Liang Chen

Intro

The significance of social development and human wellbeing for all was recognized in the Copenhagen Declaration under the United Nations
eradication of poverty = the satisfaction of basic needs for all); the elimination of hunger and malnutrition, the provision of food security, education, employment and livelihood, primary health care services, safe drinking water and sanitation, adequate shelter and participation in social and cultural life
a priority // to achieve social development and to improve human wellbeing
poverty = the core issue of social development: enhanced economic growth is essential but not itself a guarantee of a better standard of living

Poverty & Policy

the definitive standards of the poor and low-income families: in the late 1940s, Taiwanese government graudally introduced aid policies and a social welfare system, Social Relief Act of the Taiwan Province replaced by Social Aid Act in 1980. Its first anti-poverty policy - the Project of Prosperity in the early 1970s and since then, subsidies and support for low-income families have been constantly expanding.

aid polices for poor families in Taiwan: 1951 Winter Relief for Poor People; Three Festival Grants; Free Medical Services in the Taiwan Area; Scheme Outlining the Eradication of Povert; National Health Insurance (NHI) scheme for all citizens in 1995; unemployment insurance in mid-1999
the eradication of poverty in the Taiwan Province - the project of prosperity started in 1972
subsidies and support for low-income families: Free Medical Treatment for the Needy; Families' Medical Assistance 1978; the Elder's Living Allowance 1996

Profile of Taiwan (2010data): more than 23,000,000 (2.2% indigenous people) ; territory around 1/7 of size of the UK; life expectancy 76 for male 82
empirical research addressing the issue of measuring poverty is dominated by measures that: focus on identifying the number and characteristics of households officially registered as 'low-income households'; evaluate the extent of income poverty; or employ the food, clothing, shelter, and utilities method
offically registered 'low-income households': means testing of income, savings and real estate

Measuring poverty in Japan from a multidimensional perspective, Bjun Matsuyama 2016
intro

the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry reported new caculations on poverty rates since the mid-1980s

method; since then, government makes related laws and launches various policies in order to alleviate the situations

among almost all poverty related issues, a focal variable is just an economic dimension such as income or consumption
suggesting a multidimensional poverty index see below

set up (data, dimensions and indicators, cutoffs and weights, data cleaning)

dimensions and indicators: consumption, wealth, dwelling environment
consumption: income is considered as a standard measurement but it's largely affected by changes in a taxation. As an alternative, a nondurable consumption is employed as an indicator for consumption. Non-durable consumption for household is defined by Movshuk (2015) = food + (housing - rents for dwelling and land) + fuel, lights and water charges + (furniture and household utensils - household durables - interior furnishings - bedding) + clothing and footwear + medical care + (transporation and communication - purchase of care and bicycles) + education + (culture and recreation - recreational durable goods) + other consumption expenditure - remittances

wealth: wealth dimension consists of amenities (how many amenties/non-durable goods/car/house the household have) and savings (total amount of ordinary and time deposits for banks, life insurance, stocks, bonds and deposits for non-banking institutions)
dwelling environment: living space (total floor space minus floor space for business use)

How is poverty measured in Canada?

Canada has no offical, government-mandated poverty line. A general agreement: low-income + other dimensions of 'social exclusion' (access to adequate housing, essential goods and services, health and well-being and community participation)
poverty measurements are generally defined in either absolute terms (inability to meet basic needs) or in relative terms (distance from the community norm)
three measures frequently mentioned in poverty literature include: the low-income cut-off (LICO), low-income measure (LIM) (the most commonly used explicitly defined as being much worse off than average), market-basket measure (MBM) . There're pros and cons associated with each of these measures

Report on an Investigation of the Peasant Movement in Hunan (Mao Zedong 1927)

The importantce of the peasant problem: the field study on the five counties of Hunan province demostrates the revolutionary authorities had wrong ideas about peasant movement. These wrong ideas should be corrected as soon as it could be as the power of peasant will rise like a mighty storm that nothing will be able to hold it back. The peasant will sweep all the imperialists, warlords, corrupt officians, local tyrants and evil gentry into their graves.
get organised: went through two periods of organisation and almost half the peasants in Hunan are now joined in peasant associations.
Knock down with the local tyrants and evil gentry! 'All power to the peasant associations!' a slogan of peasant associations. The main targets of attack by the peasants are the local tyrants, the evil gentry and the lawless landlords, also against bad practices and customs in the rural areas.
'It's terrible!" or 'It's fine!' 'Terrible' is obviously a theory for combating the rise of the peasants in the interests of the landlord class for preserving the old order of feudalism, obviously a counter-revolutionary theory. Peasants are doing absolutely fine. The revolution of 1911 did not bring about any change in countryside.
the questions of 'going too far', it's an opinion of the middle-of-the-roaders, a criticism to the peasant associations. It's nessary to create terror for a while in every rural area.
the 'movement of the riffraff' , those of lowest rank are now above everybody else running everything in the viliage.
vanguards of the revolution: three categories of peasants: the rich, the middle and the poor and the last category has alwasy been the main force in the bitter fight in the countryside.
fourteen great achievements: organising the peasants into peasant associations, hitting the landlords politically/economically, overthrowing the feudal rule of the local tyrants and evil gentry, overthrowing the armed forces of the landlords and establishing those of the peasants, overthorwing the political power of the country magistrate and his bailiffs, overthrowing the clan authority of the ancestral temples and clan elders, the religious authority of town and vilage gods, and the masculing authortity of husbands, spreading political propaganda, peasant bans and prohibitions, eliminating banditry, abolishing exorbitant levies, the movement for education, the co-operative movement, building boads and repairing embankments.

2008, The housing situation and residential strategies of older people in France
Key Words: France, Paris, housing, conditions, longevity, residential mobility, residential strategies, second homes, baby-boom cohort
Intro
Older people's housing trends, 1946-2006

improved housing condiitons: After second WW, 1946, 1954; major house building programmes started 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, 2002
housing conditions in Paris
growth in homeownership
institutional settings/residential institutions: men are more than women
intergenerational demensions of housing: residential proximity/geographical proximity, frequency of contact; intergenerational cohabitation,

Residential strategies and mobility

elderly households are less mobile than younger households
retirement migrantion/returning to the birth place decreased, replaced by moving for a better quality of life (a move away from inner cities)
the second type of mobility arises among the advanced old age due to poor health or the loss of a partner (home moves more frequently towards the rental sector, including social housing (a growing demand for small appartments); moves into residential settings become more common above 80-years-of-age
residential strategies in later life can thus be seen as adjustments to certian lifecourse events in conjunction with individual and family preferences.
having a 'double residence' - a secondary/supplementary residence or multi-residence
immigrants (among younger elderly people ..)

Housing and the ageing polulation: challenges of the post-1945 baby-boom cohort

an important characteristic of the post-1945 baby-boom cohort is that, contrary to what might be expected, not all have experienced residential trajectories that were as favourable as their parents (low interest mortgages, less favorable economic conditions, inflated house prices, the bottom rung of the housing ladder)
there are therefore important questions for many in France about planning for retirement and the most appropriate housing and residential strategies... government incentives
'lifetime mortgages', the gov allows only individual not a commercial business to purchase the home of an elderly person at a reduced price
termology, the third age --> the over 6os; the 'fourth age', seniors
a more mobile population (following their British and German counterparts)

Conclu.

There are already signs that the desire to remain in ... There is also a growing demand for services that ... These emerging trends need to be set in the context of ...

Lichtenstein, Dietary Fat: A History, Nutrition Reviews, vol.57, no.1, 1999.

Intro:

meat (fat) was socially/culturaly presitigious food in the past; it's now associated with ill health.

Early diets

Paleolithic Period (preagricultural humans): the typical diet of the Paleolithic period estimatedly consisted of 50% plant-based foods and 50% foods of animal origin.
The agricultural and industrial revolution: (the collective human genome has changed little since the period when Homo sapiens began to flourish, but the food supply has changed dramatically) During this period with the development of modern food-processing techniques became widely available in place of whole grains and begetables. With all the changes in food supply there was also a shift back toward the sonsumption of animal protein.

The changing food supply

meat: the wild animals were once forced to hunt for food and at times had to cover great distances to ensure their survival. Consequently, they had relatively low body fat. Modern breeding practices have focused on keeping animals relatively inactive to encourage weight gain.
vegetables and fruits: the modern diet is less constrained by geographic and seasonal abailability, owing to continued improvements in the cultivation and transportation of vegetalbes.
plant-based fats and oils: modern processing of plant-based oils often includes hydrogenation (saturation/trans fatty acids) which (trans fat)can be used to raise its chemical stability to enhance storage properties / increading the risk of developing cardiovascular disease
dairy products: continue to be major contributiors of saturated fat to the diet (retentiong of intestinal lactase/milk throughout adulthood)
cereal products: the major plant-based foods for Paleolithic ancestors were fruits, buds, leaves, and roots; for current day, they are replaced by cereal products. Cereal grains tend to have more fat.

Historical notes on fat metabolism

1833, 1849, 1897, gradually recognition of food fat/carbs contributing to body fat

History of regulations on fat

2017, Review: moving from novice to expertise and its implications for instruction, American Journal of Pharmaceutical Education

address the stages of expertise development, what differentiates a novice from an expert

expertise = substantial knowledge bases that affect what they noticee, and how they organise, represent and inteerpret information --> better problem solving and performance
only a small fraction of people
