2019
In 2002, the World Health Organization (WHO) brought global attention to elder abuse and the need for prevention in issuing the Toronto Declaration. With the rise in the proportion of people aged 60 and over, but also the spectacular demographic projections for people aged 80 years and older (globally the number of persons aged 80 and over is expected to triple by 2050), how we age, and how well we age is of great concern. Furthermore, there will be a growing need to protect the most vulnerable older people from harm. For the development of policies and interventions, more insight into this complex phenomenon is required. Therefore, the current chapter examines the effect of abuse on the qu…

Cross-sectional surveys of nationally representative samples of adolescents (aged 11, 13, and 15 years) (n = 589,737) participating in the Health Behaviour in School-aged Children (HBSC) survey from 2002 to 2018 were used. Multilevel logistic regression analyses modeled DBC over time, adjusted for family affluence, family structure…

Conclusions: Results show corporate networks were fragmented in the three Central American countries, except for a well-connected business cluster in Panama. The organization of business elit…

2001
[FR] Le composé ¿Fe(LI)3¿2¿Fe(H2O)6¿(ClO4)6 (2), LI = 1,10-phénanthroline-5,6-dione, a été synthétisé et caractérisé. La structure cristalline 2 est définie par un assemblage bidimensionnel non covalent, peu commun, constitué par des tectons chiraux ¿Fe(LI)3¿2+, assemblés par des cations ¿Fe(H2O)6¿2+ encapsulés dans des cages. Ces cages sont formées par 12 liaisons hydrogène établies entre les molécules d¿eau coordinées et les groupes dione appartenant à six molecules chirales ¿Fe(LI)3¿2+ ¿, ¿ alternées.
