Background: In this paper, we investigate how household alcohol consumption in Thailand relates to the age of the head of household. Methods: We use datasets drawn from socio-economic surveys of Thai households conducted during the period of 2006–2011, and we use Treenet, a data-mining technique, to investigate nonlinear relationships between response and predictors. Our study shows that households with a head of household aged between 25 and 30 years old were the most likely to consume alcohol at home and that this likelihood decreased after the age of 30. Results: Our results also reveal that the proportion of total household expenditure allocated to alcohol decreased over time, but in different ways for different age groups. Moreover, we find that the gaps in alcohol spending across the different age groups tend to become smaller over time. Our results suggest that Thai government policies seem to have been accompanied by a relative decrease in alcohol consumption by younger groups.

ABSTRACTOlder people consume less alcohol than any other adult age group. However, in recent years survey data on alcohol consumption in the United Kingdom have shown that while younger age groups have experienced a decline in alcohol consumption, drinking behaviours among the elderly have not reduced in the same way. This paper uses data from the English Longitudinal Study of Ageing to analyse both the frequency and quantity of older adult's alcohol consumption using a lifecourse approach over a ten-year period. Overall drinking declined over time and the analysis examined how socio-economic characteristics, partnership, employment and health statuses were associated with differences in drinking behaviours and how these changed over time. Higher wealth and level of education were associated with drinking more and drinking more frequently for men and women. Poorer self-rated health was associated with less frequent consumption and older people with poor and deteriorating health reported a steeper decline in the frequency of alcohol consumption over time. Men who were not in a partnership drank more than other men. For women, loss of a partner was associated with a steeper decline in drinking behaviours. These findings have implications for programmes to promote responsible drinking among older adults as they suggest that, for the most part, characteristics associated with sustaining wellbeing in later life are also linked to consuming more alcohol.

<p><em>The focus of this research is the conflict that occurred between the the fishermen of Tambak Wedi Kenjeran Surabaya and PT PP Properti Suramadu, which represents the Surabaya city government as a result of government policies in developing the Kenjeran Beach tourism area, especially in the cable car development plan. This study used a qualitative approach, so that in the data mining technique the researcher used the method of observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation. From the research results, it was found that the Kenjeran beach tourism development policy carried out by the Surabaya City Government was in accordance with the natural and socio-cultural potential of the local community, but the impact of this policy was a conflict which in Ralf Dahrendorf's perspective there were three groups involved in the conflict. namely quasi groups, interest groups and conflict groups. The conflict started because of the demolition of a fishing post which had been used to monitor boats, three posts were dismantled, a fishing post for cumi-cumi group, kakap merah group and dorang groups, due to massive protests from fishermen until finally there was mediation by the Surabaya legislative, finally a fishing post was built. reset at the same location.</em></p><p><strong><em>Keywords: </em></strong><strong><em>Tourism Area Development</em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em> </em></strong><strong><em>Government Policy</em></strong><strong><em>,</em></strong><strong><em> Fishermen</em></strong><strong><em></em></strong></p><h2> </h2><p><strong>Abstrak</strong></p><p>Fokus dalam penelitian adalah konflik yang terjadi antara nelayan Tambak Wedi kecamatan Kenjeran Surabaya dengan PT PP Properti Suramadu yang mewakili pemeritah kota Surabaya sebagai dampak dari kebijakan pemerintah dalam  pengembangan kawasan wisata Pantai Kenjeran terutama dalam rencana pembangunan Kereta Gantung.

The purpose of this study is to classify data on families who are entitled to receive a Prosperous Family Card (KKS), because there are still many other poor families who have not had the opportunity to receive this assistance program. Sources of data obtained from the Panghulu Nagori Mekar Rejo office, Bosar Maligas District, Simalungun Regency. The method used in this research is the C4.5 algorithm data mining technique which is implemented with the RapidMiner 5.3 application. The variables used in determining which families are entitled to receive a Prosperous Family Card (KKS) are (1) Occupation, (2) Income of the Head of the Family, (3) Number of Dependents, (4) Highest Education, (5) Condition of the House Building. The results of the classification using the C4.5 algorithm and testing with the Rapidminer software found that the factor that determines the feasibility of providing the Prosperous Family Card (KKS) assistance is C2 (Head of Household Income) with the highest gain value, namely 0.46880137

Intoxication as a ground to set aside a contract is not something that has proved to be easy for the law to regulate. This is perhaps not very surprising. Intoxication is a temporary condition of varying degrees of magnitude. Its presence does however raise questions of contractual autonomy and individual responsibility. Alcohol consumption is a common social activity and perceptions of intoxication and especially alcoholism have changed over time. Roman law is surprisingly quiet on the subject. In modern times the rules about intoxicated contracting in Scottish and English law is very similar. Rather more interestingly the law in these two jurisdictions has reached the current position in slightly different ways. This history can be traced through English Equity, the works of the Scottish Institutional writers, the rise of the Will Theory, and all leavened with a dose of judicial pragmatism.

Abstract Background This study aimed to describe the status of alcohol consumption and drug use among young adults as well as their determinants. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional study of 356 young adults (aged 18 to 24 years) living in Palau in 2013. The prevalence of self-reported alcohol and marijuana usage were compared within and between sexes, age groups, ethnicities, and education levels. Results The proportion of current drinking was higher in people aged 21–24 than in those aged 18–20 (73.2% vs. 60.9%, p = 0.09 in men and 48.3% vs. 30.0%, p = 0.02 in women), while that of marijuana use did not differ between the age groups. The proportions of current drinking and marijuana use were higher in Palauan than in other ethnicities (current drinking: 70.6% vs. 40.6%, p = 0.005 in men and 38.8% vs. 16.6%, p = 0.04 in women; lifetime marijuana use: 80.0% vs. 52.9%, p = 0.02 in men and 56.1% vs. 30.6%, p = 0.09 in women). The proportion of frequent (3 times or more) marijuana users was higher for the lower educated than for the higher educated (62.5% vs. 32.1%, p < 0.001 in men and 33.9% vs. 24.4%, p = 0.12 in women). Conclusions Sex, age, ethnicity, and education were significant determinants of alcohol and marijuana use.

Abstract Cross-sectional analyses of internet use patterns among older adults find that the rate of internet use is less with greater physical and memory difficulties. It is not clear, however, how age-cohorts differ in their internet use as physical and memory difficulties increase over time. In addition to factors such as increasing accessibility (cost) and social influences, the expansion and cognitive complexity of functions performed by the internet-enabled devices over time could influence internet use patterns. In this study, we investigate how the association between internet use and episodic memory difficulties over time varies between cohorts. We analyzed longitudinal data from the Health and Retirement Study (N = 15,703 in 2002; Aged 51 and older) between years 2002-2016 using mixed effects logistic regression models. Immediate and delayed word recall measures were used to assess episodic memory. Rate of internet use in the sample increased from 30% in 2002 to 53% in 2016. Rate of internet use among younger age groups was significantly higher in the baseline year. Younger age groups also showed a significantly higher rate of increase in internet use over time. In general, internet use decreased with episodic memory impairment. In addition to these effects, the effect of episodic memory on the rate of increase in internet use over time is lower in younger cohorts. These results indicate that younger cohorts of older adults are more likely to maintain internet use as they continue to age and therefore could better utilize technology for communication, social interactions and health interventions.

The present study examines the trajectories of unhealthy food and alcohol consumption over time and considers whether perceived impact of COVID-19 and psychological variables are predictors of these trajectories. We ascertained whether these predictors are different in women vs. men and between women living with vs. without children. Data were collected through online surveys administered to 1038 participants from two universities (staff and students) in Chile, across five waves (July to October 2020). Participants provided information about their past-week unhealthy food and alcohol consumption and mental health. Using latent growth curve modeling analysis, we found that higher perceived health and interpersonal COVID-19 impact, younger age and lower depression symptoms were associated with more rapid increases over time in unhealthy food consumption. On the other hand, higher perceived COVID-19 economic impact and older age were associated with more rapid diachronic decreases in alcohol consumption. Gender and living with or without children, for women only, were moderators of these trajectories. This longitudinal study provides strong evidence identifying the multiple repercussions of COVID-19 and mental health factors on unhealthy food and alcohol consumption. These findings highlight the need for interventions aimed at minimizing the impact of the pandemic on unhealthy food and alcohol consumption over time.
