"This book experience addresses this gap in the historiography of Canadian Immigration. From the tentative steps taken by the pre-confederation colonies to provide for the needs of arriving immigrants, often sick and destitute, through the provision of accommodation and free land to settlers of a century ago, to today?s multi-faceted settlement program, this book traces a fascinating history that provides an important context to today?s policies and practices. It also serves to remind us that those who preceded us did, indeed, care for immigrants and did much to make them feel welcome in Canada. The Canadian experience in integration, over the past two centuries, suggests many policy-related research themes for further exploration both in Canada and in other immigrant receiving countries."

"Propinsi penderita penyakit kronik meningkat usia.Pengendalian yang seringdilakukan adalah dengan priskriptif terapeutik dan nasehat klinikal."

"Proporsi penderita penyakit kronik meningkat mengikut usia. Pengendalian yang sering dilakukan adalah dengan preskriptif terapeutik dan nasehat klinikal. Namun dengan upaya ini biasanya terjadi komplians yang rendah. Oleh karena itu, upaya preskriptif komunitas dirasakan lebih cocok dan diperkirakan lebih tahan lama. Oleh karena itu, satu paket intervensi komunitas telah dilakukan di suatu sub-urban di Malaysia untuk melihat sejauh mana upaya ini diterima masyarakat dan seterusnya dapat dikembangkan sebagai instrumentasi sosial yang mampu memberikan manfaat biologi dan sosial kepada penderita penyakit kronik. Penelitian menggunakan metode quasi-experimental terhadap kohort orang berusia 45 tahun atau lebih. Subjek dipajankan terhadap pelbagai aktivitas kebugaran yang terjadwal dan bersifat pendekataan partisipatori. Proses pelaksanaan program diamati secara kuantitatif dan kualitatif. Komunitas berpartisipasi positif, 78% di natarnya berusia 45 tahun ke atas. Pada awal penelitian terdapat 47,6% subjek menderita hipertensi, dan 38.4% mengidap hiperkolesterol, 16,8% obesitas, dan 7,1% diabetes mellitus. Sementara kadar aktivitas fisikal 31.0%. Dari sudut proses, pendekatan partisipatori ternyata amat baik dalam usaha memobilisasi komuniti ke arah kesehatan dan kebugaran. Program kecergasan komunitas yang terjadwal adalah satu instrumentasi sosial yang mampu memberikan kebaikan biologi dan sosial kepada penderita penyakit kronik. Di samping itu, juga mampu meningkatkan gaya hidup sehat dan kualitas kehidupan.

AbstractProportion of chronic diseases sufferers are increased by age. The usual control measures are therapeutic prescription and clinical counseling. However, its low compliance rate has interfered this effort. Therefore, community intervention can be a suitable prescriptive option to provide a long lasting effect. For that, a package of community intervention has been established in one sub-urban area in Malaysia to observe its acceptability, thus it can be acted as a social instrumentation to bring both biological and social benefits to this group of community. This study used quasi-experimental design on a cohort of elderly citizen aged 45 and above. Respondents are exposed to a mixed and planned prescribed fitness activity using participatory approach. Process involved in program implementation is closely observed both quantitatively and qualitatively. Community participation occurred in a positive and fast mode, with 78% being the elderly people aged above 45 years old. Initial observation revealed that about 47.6% suffering hypertension, while 38.4% hypercholesterolemia, 16.8% obese and 7.1% diabetes mellitus. Physically active members were moderate - about 31.0%. In term of process, participatory approach seems to be very effective to mobilize community towards health and fitness. A planned community fitness program is a form of social instrumentation to bring biological and social benefits to chronic diseases sufferers. It has also useful to promote favorable lifestyle and quality of life of this group of people. "

""Tourism is an intensely geographic phenomenon. It stimulates large-scale, global movements of people and forges distinctive relationships between people and the places they visit. It shapes processes of physical development and resource exploitation, while the presence of visitors forges a range of economic, social, cultural and environmental relationships that have important implications for local geographies. Tourism Geography develops a critical understanding of how different geographies of tourism are created and maintained. Drawing on both historical and contemporary perspectives, the discussion connects tourism to key geographical concepts relating to globalization, mobility, new geographies of production and consumption, and post-industrial change. Building on the success of Stephen Williams cornerstone work, the addition of Alan A. Lew as co-author has enabled an even wider breadth of research to be introduced to the volume. Featuring international case studies and supported by up-to-date data, the third edition has been fully updated and offers a comprehensive review of tourism geography around the world; it examines the different perspectives from which geographers approach this important contemporary process. This book remains the only up to date and comprehensive review of geographies of tourism and the ways in which scholars can interpret contemporary tourism processes. It provides an accessible yet thorough explanation of concepts and models which promotes an understanding of their applications and limitations."--Publisher's description."
