Housing for the AgingIdelkope, Sybil R 01 January 2012 (has links) (PDF)
Future housing for the elderly should focus more on the psychological stresses of aging, and find solutions for the physical disabilities through this perspective. With design techniques such as biophilic architecture, mixed use and warmer, yet contemporary, materials, elderly housing can feel less institutional, and people can feel like their new home is at least comfortable and supportive of their needs.

Preventing Elderly Orphans / Preventing Elderly Orphans: Transnational Caregiving of Romanian Older AdultsStef, Cristina January 2023 (has links)
Transnational caregivers are immigrants who reside and work in one country while simultaneously providing care to family members in their home country. Anthropologists have demonstrated in many cultural settings that despite geographic separation, transnational families attempt to maintain social relations, share resources, and provide care to one another.
This thesis explores how Romanian migrants in Canada navigate care, a dynamic practice, within the context of sociocultural and political histories, cultural traditions, and a globalized world. It considers (1) how these migrants conceptualize aging and their migrant identity in relation to caregiving, (2) how migrants and their families maintain kin ties and care agreements, and (3) how migrants balance their personal circumstances with Romanian sociocultural expectations of care.
I argue that Romania’s communist history plays a significant role in migrants’ reasons for leaving Romania, as well as in the availability of services related to elder well-being and health. Additionally, migrants and their families’ perceptions of institutional care versus family caregiving are influenced by their experiences living in Romania’s communist and post-communist eras.
The stories in this thesis highlight the fact that moral values concerning care, conceptualizations of care, and actual care practices are not the same thing. This thesis shows that the Romanian migrants grew up with informal caregiving within the family home as the traditional and obligatory care practice, a value they maintain into adulthood. As such, many of them envisioned maintaining a similar routine as their parents aged – a plan that had to be readjusted after their migration. The result is a variety of care practices among my participants, with different intensities (time spent caregiving) and complexities (how many people are involved in care).
The social pressures documented in this thesis are not just relevant to Romania, as many other places in Eastern Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia are experiencing similar crises in elder care due to the out-migration of the younger generation. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)

Accuracy of estimating age and antler size of photographed deerFlinn, Jeremy J 07 August 2010 (has links)
Objective and accurate techniques are needed to estimate age and antler size of live white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus), because these parameters are essential to many white-tailed deer management strategies. I developed and evaluated accuracy of methods for estimating age and antler size from photographs of live, male white-tailed deer using Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I estimated size of photographed, known-score mounted antlers accurately using a fixed-scale object and photographed, live deer using anatomical features. I determined if a series of morphometric ratios could be used to predict age of deer from photographs using a dichotomous key procedure. Mean percentage error for gross antler score was < 6% using a single photograph at 0° or 45°. The dichotomous key procedure effectively separated age classes of photographed, live white-tailed deer. When grouping deer into 1, 2, 3, 4, or ≥ 5 year age classes, the methodology respectively.
