古代仙草叙事的生命意识及生态伦理意蕴

明清小说植物生态叙事中的仙草可分为返生（重生）草系列、长生草系列和疗病草系列。仙草奇特的疗救、甚至起死回生功能，与古代中医的实践经验密不可分，其神秘感往往还同当事人的命运联系起来，即植物、动物昆虫与人类之间存在着某种生命体内在有机联系，借助植物的“生命素”来维护、延续人类有机体。除了仙草还有类似的珍稀植物，如肉芝。人参、枸杞精、茯苓等相关文献载录历史悠久，因叙述者文化背景不同而不免各有侧重，或盲目艳羡幸运者，或藉以传达伦理好尚，或彰显自身族群优势等，本土影响主要来自仙道信仰。     

Silver economy: opportunities and challenges to Brazil adopt the European Union’s strategy

This paper deals with the construction of the silver economy (or the longevity economy) strategy in Brazil and its contribution to the economic development. The first and second parts of the paper summarize the international debate on the concept, mainly in the countries of the European Union. The third part approaches the focus on the ageing population in Brazil, still dominated by a pessimistic view. In the next section of the paper, the action opportunities for the longevity saving strategy in Brazil are exposed with summaries of some key sectors, according to the international literature on the silver economy. The income of the older people and the purchasing power of families with older adults are analysed in the following sections. In the conclusion, some recommended actions for building the silver economy strategy in Brazil is discussed.     

The Built Environment,Health, and Longevity

Abstract

This paper reviews and integrates interdisciplinary literature that investigates the influence of the built environment on the subjective and objective health status of older persons that may improve their quality and quantity of remaining years of life. The development, expansion and synthesis of person-environment and ecological models provides the theoretical foundation. Central to this discussion is the identification and elaboration of salutogenic and pathogenic pathways (Antonovsky, 1979) through which the built environment may influence health, functioning and longevity. Research and knowledge drawn from literature on relocation, housing characteristics and well-being, the meaning of home, delay of institutionalization, technological devices, falls and other injuries, and healthy communities is used to demonstrate environmental pathways to health and longevity.     

Recent Perspectives on Active Life Expectancy for Older Women

SUMMARY

This article provides a critical review of recent active life expectancy literature, describing trends of special interest to women. We review findings from leading perspectives used to study life expectancy and active life expectancy, including gender, racial and socioeconomic differences, disease-specific effects, and biodemography. We examine three competing theories of population health that frame active life expectancy research—compression of morbidity, expansion of morbidity, and dynamic equilibrium—concluding there is support for both the compression of morbidity and dynamic equilibrium theories. Policy implications for women include a greater understanding of the role of education and racial and ethnic diversity in active life trends, and an increased public policy emphasis on prevention and treatment of chronic disease, together with adoption of more healthy lifestyles.

绍兴地区90岁以上长寿者的调查及遗传分析

通过对绍兴地区54位90岁以上的长寿者的调查及分析，除两人的双亲死于战乱外，其余52位长寿者中他们的双亲或二者之一寿命超过70岁者有37人，双亲的平均寿命为72.94岁，占71.15％。寿命低于70岁的有15人，双亲平均寿命为57．90岁，占28．85％。分析结果表明，寿命是受遗传因子控制的。人的年龄是一个数量遗传性状，是受多基因控制的，即受许多对等位基因控制的，从上述数据可以看出人的年龄是受多基因控制的。同时也明显地受环境因素的影响，如家庭的经济收入、家庭人员之间的关系，性格等因素。每一对等位基因是由一个显性基因和一个隐性基因组成的，只有显性基因对长寿有利。因此总的说，在工作和生活适宜的条件下，一个人具有的显性基因越多，他潜在的年龄就越长。     

基于长寿背景下的企业年金风险评估

在死亡率不断降低,预期寿命不断提高的背景下,企业年金实现一定替代率目标的难度不断增大,面临的长寿风险越来越不容忽视。在中国人口死亡率最优模型基础上,通过企业年金比率模型评估了三种不同年龄结构企业年金的长寿风险,并在基于Bootstrap方法的VAR模型上考虑了投资风险,对企业年金进行综合风险分析。结果表明,当其他风险都能被完全对冲时,未来死亡率降低及预期寿命延长会对企业年金实现目标养老待遇产生较大影响,并且评估期越长,企业年金积累的长寿风险越大。     

中国区域长寿现象与区域长寿标准评价体系

区域长寿现象反映了一个地区在人口健康、自然环境、社会经济、文化等方面具有明显的区域优势。本文在归纳和总结了有关区域长寿现象研究发现的基础上,探讨了制定区域长寿标准及其评价指标体系的理论依据,对现有的中国区域长寿标准及其评价指标体系予以评论,并提出改进建议。     

和而不流的人格风范与艺术再现——魏了翁寿词述评

南宋理学大师魏了翁的寿词创作数量堪称历代词人寿词之最.对此,前人颇为不解.本文通过对魏了翁生平的简要梳理及其寿词创作的分类研究,认为其寿词创作与其"和而不流"的君子风范、孝悌仁爱的理学精神、积极有为的生命意识息息相关,既是魏了翁坚持守望儒家传统"以和为贵"的社会风尚的艺术再现,又是南宋文人士大夫世俗生活的形象反映.
