A demografia apresenta-se como uma realidade complexa, que deve ser avaliada sob múltiplos ângulos. O fato é que, embora ainda haja lugares em que predominam os rostos jovens, o Brasil começa a preocupar-se com outros rostos: os daqueles 16 milhões de seus habitantes que já ultrapassaram a faixa dos 60 anos de idade. Uma maior longevidade naturalmente deve ser saudada como algo positivo. Contudo, essa positividade só será real na medida em que longevidade se conjugar com qualidade de vida. E qualidade de vida é resultante de vários fatores de cunho pessoal e social. Daqui a decorrência lógica: ao mesmo tempo em que a qualidade de vida requer empenho pessoal, requer igualmente empenho social, para disponibilizar, a todos, melhores condições sociais, econômicas e políticas. O presente estudo quer evidenciar exatamente isso, ou seja, que, como em tantos outros aspectos da vida pessoal e social, nada acontece por acaso. Tudo depende de um trabalho longo e contínuo pelo qual pessoas e sociedades vão aprendendo a administrar seus talentos e, ao mesmo tempo, suas limitações. Envelhecimento bem-sucedido é sinônimo de sabedoria de vida e de políticas inteligentes.Abstract: Demography presents itself as a complex reality that must be assessed from multiple angles. The fact is, although there are still some areas in Brazil where there is a predominance of young faces, the country is beginning to worry about other faces: those of its sixteen million inhabitants who are over 60. It is obvious that a greater longevity must be greeted as a positive thing. However, this positivity will only be real when longevity is combined with quality of life. And quality of life is the result of various personal and social factors. Hence the logical consequence that, at the same time that quality of life demands personal efforts, it also requires social efforts to make available better social, economic and political conditions to all. The present study intends to show that, as in so many other aspects of personal and social life, nothing happens by chance. Everything depends on long and continuous work. Through it people and societies will gradually learn to administer their gifts and also their limitations. Successful ageing is a synonym of wisdom in living and of clever public policies.

This paper argues that the rise of what is commonly termed "personal religion" during the Classic-Hellenistic period is not the result of an inner need or even quality of the self, as often argued by those who see in ancient Greece foreshadowing of Christianity, but rather was the result of social, economic, and political conditions that made it possible for Hellenistic Greeks to redefine the perception of the individual and its relationship to others.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine the quality of life among people living with HIV/AIDS based on the criteria for diagnosis and other factors.Methods: This study was conducted in the VCT clinic hospital of Dr. Moewardi. The population was HIV-positive patients with antiretroviral therapy. Data collection conducted through medical records and interview to patients. Results: Out of a total of 89 respondents, 66.29% were males and 71.91% were aged between 26-45 years. We found significant correlations for diagnosis of HIV/AIDS, opportunistic infections, time since HIV diagnosis, duration of ARV therapy, social support, modes of transport, sex, age, and marital status with the quality of life. Multivariate analysis obtained by each variable showed the strongest association with the quality of life was time since diagnosis, social support and duration of ARV therapy. Conclusion: The quality of life was better for those who have been diagnosed with HIV/AIDS ≥ 32 months, with social support, and who have been undergoing antiretroviral therapy ≥ 29 months. Improved counseling in the early days of ARV therapy is necessary to always maintain the treatment and provide support for their social life.

Background: For people living with or affected by Huntington’s Disease (HD) to experience a good quality of life, tailored support is required to meet physical, cognitive-behavioral, psychological, and social support needs. Substantial service and knowledge gaps regarding HD exist across support providers and service systems. Measuring unmet needs and what quality of life looks like is a fundamental step required to determine the social impact of service investment and provision. The objectives of this study were to validate and map a draft set of HD Social Impact Domains (HD-SID) against existing national and international outcome frameworks; and evaluate and finalize the HD-SID set using a co-design approach with people with lived experience of, and expertise in, HD. Methods: This research used a qualitative co-design process, with 39 participants across four stakeholder groups (people who were HD gene-positive, gene-negative family members, academics, peak organizations, and service providers) to: (i) map and verify the social life areas impacted by HD; (ii) undertake a rigorous three-phased, qualitative process to critically evaluate the draft HD-SID; and (iii) seek feedback on and endorsement of the HD-SID through this co-design process, with a final set of HD-SID identified. Results: Endorsed HD-SID comprised risks and safety (including housing stability, and economic sustainability) and social inclusion (including health and symptom management, physical wellbeing, emotional wellbeing, and building resilient relationships). Conclusions: Effective measurement of the impacts and outcomes for people with HD is informed by both extant measures and an understanding of the specific population needs. This qualitative co-design research demonstrates that HD-SID resonate with the HD community.

The general objective of this article was to analyze the influence that the pandemic scenario has on the mental health of professionals working in the health area, taking into account their work, quality of life and satisfaction with the organization. The methodology selected for the research was descriptive, qualitative, classified as a bibliographic research, in which the following descriptors were applied: satisfaction and quality of life in the work context, selecting academic sources of information that responded to the proposed objectives and that presented in the context of the pandemic.

Thus, it is concluded that the satisfaction and quality of life in the work environment was significantly affected by the pandemic, contributing to the development even psychological suffering in various spheres, including work stress, especially in environments where professionals from health.

Revolutionary changes in society are linked to digital technologies and affect all areas of social life, not excluding construction industry. This requires not only knowledge reform, but above all skills reform. The current demand of practice is to increase the knowledge and competences of graduates of civil engineering faculties in the field of introduction and use of digital technologies in the process of planning, implementation, and maintenance of buildings, as well as to support the skills development of civil engineers in teamwork while using BIM technologies. The presented, currently implemented project contributes to meeting the above-described Practice Needs. The expected direct impact of the project is to increase the competitiveness, employability, and quality of life of graduates entering practice.
