Population, Environment and Disease de Asraful Alam

Population, Environment and Disease

Editat de Asraful Alam, Rukhsana, Sourav Biswas, Nazrul Islam, Ranjan Roy
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 oct 2024

Găsim în această ediție recentă, publicată de Springer în 2024, o sinteză riguroasă a intersecției dintre demografie, ecologie și epidemiologie. Population, Environment and Disease se bazează pe o metodologie solidă, utilizând baze de date bibliometrice și recenzii sistematice pentru a cartografia tendințele globale în cercetarea sănătății mediului. Volumul este structurat în trei secțiuni majore care ghidează cititorul de la fundamentele politicilor publice și determinanții socio-demografici, către analiza complexă a factorilor spațio-temporali și provocările ridicate de epidemiile contemporane.

Descoperim aici o progresie logică, începând cu evoluția istorică a geografiei medicale și continuând cu analize de impact economic, precum povara financiară a mortalității premature cauzate de cancer. Spre deosebire de alte lucrări pur teoretice, editorii Asraful Alam și Rukhsana integrează date empirice despre accesibilitatea serviciilor de sănătate pentru categorii vulnerabile, cum ar fi lucrătorii din economia platformelor (gig economy) sau comunitățile tribale. Apreciem în mod deosebit capitolul dedicat programelor naționale de asigurări de sănătate din India, care oferă un model de analiză pentru politicile publice în țările în curs de dezvoltare.

Această lucrare reprezintă o alternativă la The Geography of Disease de Jing Luo pentru cursurile de geografie umană și planificare teritorială, cu avantajul integrării tehnologiilor geospațiale avansate și a unei perspective actualizate post-pandemice asupra epidemiilor. În contextul operei editorului Asraful Alam, volumul completează temele abordate în Agriculture, Environment and Sustainable Development și Habitat, Ecology and Ekistics, mutând accentul de la sustenabilitatea resurselor la impactul direct al transformărilor de mediu asupra sănătății populației. Textul reușește să mențină un ton academic precis, fiind o resursă esențială pentru cercetătorii care studiază tranziția epidemiologică în relație cu schimbările climatice și urbanizarea accelerată.

Descriere scurtă

This book discusses a broad range of vital issues in public health, encompassing health facilities, the healthcare system, disease and epidemiological transition of disease, spatio-temporal change of health facilities, disease patterns, and the complex reciprocal relationship between human health and the environment. The book is arranged into three broad sections. Part I: Socio-demographic determinants of public health and policies; Part II: Spatio-temporal & environmental determinants of public health and policies; and Part III: Disease epidemics and challenges. Considering all these overarching themes, this book has been prepared to discuss and provide insights to generate awareness of the holistic perspective of social, cultural, and political factors for public health, disease, epidemics, health facilities, the healthcare system, government policies, prosperity and backdrops in global and local contexts as a geographical perspective. The book should attract the attention of students, researchers, academicians, policymakers and other inquisitive readers interested in different aspects of public health, health geography, and spatial demography.
