...Health Promotion is the provision of information and/or education to individuals, families, and communities that-encourage family unity, community commitment, and traditional spirituality that make positive contributions to their health status. Health Promotion is also the promotion of healthy ideas and concepts to motivate individuals to adopt healthy behaviors. According to the World Health Organization, Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over, and to improve their health. Health promotion represents a comprehensive social and political process, it not only embraces actions directed at strengthening the skills and capabilities of individuals, but also action directed towards changing social, environmental and economic conditions so as to alleviate their impact on public and individual health. Health promotion is the process of enabling people to increase control over the determinants of health and thereby improve their health. Participation is essential to sustain health promotion action. The Ottawa Charter identifies three basic strategies for health promotion. These are advocacy for health to create the essential conditions for health indicated above; enabling all people to achieve their full health potential; and mediating between the different interests in society in the pursuit of health. These strategies are supported by five priority action areas as outlined in the Ottawa Charter for health promotion: * Build healthy public...

...1. 12019635 Health Promotion The provision of health information is firstly making people aware of what health is? Katz, Peberdy and Douglas (2000) suggest that there are differences in ways individuals and social groups define health, young people would say a person who is healthy is fit, energetic and has strength, whilst an older person is more likely to view it in terms of resilience and coping. The World Health Organisation defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing and not merely the absence of a disease or infirmity. What is defined as a health need? The concept of need is a word used often but not understood, according to Cohen (2008)economists tend to avoid the use of the term need altogether, arguing that it is overlaid with emotion and what is really meant by a health need is actually a matter of a person’s wants and demands. Naidoo and Wills (2009) say that health needs are therefore a question of identifying priorities and an alternative view is that there are universal needs, Maslow’s( 1954) hierarchy of needs suggests that all human needs are in fact health needs. What is Health promotion? It is the process of enabling people to take control over and improve their health. Nutbeam (1988) explains that health promotion represents a comprehensive social and political process, it not only...

In my paper, I choose the cleanser (Skincare product) as the consumer products to introduce and tell how they are different from each other as well as the Marketing Mix for all three products. Cleanser for acne skin ofDermalogica, Shiseido, and Neutrogena skincare products are three popular products that are sold at United State with larger market. First of all, as a brand, Dermalogica immediately upset the prevailing paradigm of beauty and glamour by classifying skin care as a health issue as opposed to a cosmetic concern. Just as it removed common irritants from the ingredient menu, Dermalogica also introduced a powerful new element into the brand identity: the specialized expertise of the professional skin therapist.Truly understanding your skin is the first step towards a lifetime of skin health. Start with a Dermalogica professional skin therapist: fortunately, with over 75,000 of them in over 50 countries, chances are you have a skin health expert just around the corner.

San Diego has a long history with the US Military; it has six Bases and one US Coast Guard Station ("San Diego Military Bases," n.d.).

...[pic] Resolution of the World Health Organization After meeting in Geneva in May 2003 for the Fifty-Sixth World Health Assembly, the WHO outlined its Global Initiative for the Elimination of Avoidable Blindness, or VISION 2020 plan. The WHO urges national governments to: • Set up, not later than 2005, a national VISION 2020 plan, in partnership with the WHO and in collaboration with NGOs and the private sector. • Establish a national coordinating committee for VISION 2020 or a national blindness prevention committee, which may include consumer or patient groups, to develop and implement the plan. • Commence implementation of such plans by 2007 at the latest. • Include effective information systems with standardized indicators and periodic monitoring and evaluation, with the aim of showing a reduction in the magnitude of avoidable blindness by 2010. • Mobilize resources for eliminating avoidable blindness. In turn, the WHO agrees to: • Maintain and strengthen the WHO’s collaboration with governments and all partners of the initiative. • Ensure coordination of the implementation of the VISION 2020 plan, by setting up a monitoring committee grouping all those involved, including national government representatives. • Provide support for strengthening national capability, especially through development of human resources, to coordinate, assess, and prevent avoidable blindness...

...North America Equity Research 06 January 2014 2014 Global Biotech Outlook Differentiated Growth, Advancing Pipelines Should Drive Outperformance; Conf Call at 11am ET Today The biotech sector had a stellar 2013 (NBI: +65%; S&P: +29%) driven by strong demand for the sector’s key products, many positive phase 3 studies and a wave of successful IPOs. Looking to 2014, we think the fundamental backdrop is very similar with 1) beatable revenue growth expectations (2014e: +16% vs. 2012/2013: +12%) including several high-profile drug launches, 2) many pivotal studies set to read out and 3) a stable/favorable regulatory and reimbursement environment. Notably, these factors should continue to make biotech attractive to generalist investors, who played a major role in the 2013 outperformance. Our bias is to stick with large caps as well as mid-caps with approved products; revenue/EPS/cash flow forecasts for 2015 and beyond look broadly beatable, in our view. In contrast, we suspect that “pure pipeline” or tech platform small caps could be more volatile in 2014. We continue to believe that the biotech industry is in the early innings of an innovation cycle with many labelexpansion opportunities and novel agents in phase 2 or 3 trials that are largely unaccounted for in Street models. Hence, we are bullish on the group for 2014. Please join us for a call today at 11am ET to discuss our sector outlook/favorite names (US dial-in: 888-889-1309; OUS: 773-756-0161; Passcode: BIOTECH).

Tinkham University of Georgia, Athens, Georgia, USA 2010) or ads that ridicule nonusers of the brand (Voss 2009), but these studies researched “humor types” and should be distinguished from humor effects studies in threat persuasion ads. By looking into both the humor and threat persuasion literature, we set out to understand how humorous threat persuasion works in advertising and for whom it may be most effective. Threat persuasion, otherwise known as fear appeal in advertising, deals with critical issues that might have negative consequences for the consumer or the public (e.g., health and environmental issues) (Freimuth et al. 1990). In the ad, threatening information presents the problem, and attitudinal or behavioral suggestions are given as solutions. Threat information is valuable in that it can help protect us from harm but is negative in valence and out of the ordinary in our daily lives. Such substantive yet negative and out-of-the-ordinary information is known to be unpleasant and cognitively arduous to process (e.g., Rozin and Royzman 2001; Schimmack 2005). When humor accompanies threat information, it can...
