Abstract:

Abstract Green care farms form an alternative to traditional nursing homes for people with dementia and combine agriculture production with health-related, social and educational services. Twenty-four-hour care green care farms offer end-of-life care. The aim of the study was to explore the experiences of healthcare workers and family caregivers with end-of-life care for people with dementia who died on a green care farm in the Netherlands. Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted to explore their experiences with end-of-life care, including topics such as advance care planning, bereavement support and the influence of COVID-19. The study showed that most experiences were characterized by personal attention for the resident and family caregivers, and tailored holistic care. The duration of the dying phase was typically short, and most residents remained active until their final days. Despite the COVID-19 measures, healthcare workers and family caregivers still experienced adequate end-of-life care.

Abstract:

In recent years, computer-based simulations have been used to enhance production processes, and sustainable industrial strategies are increasingly being considered in the manufacturing industry. In order to evaluate the performance of a gasification process, the Life Cycle Thinking (LCT) technique gathers relevant impact assessment tools to offer quantitative indications across different domains. Following the PRISMA guidelines, the present paper undertakes a scoping review of gasification processes’ environmental, economic, and social impacts to reveal how LCT approaches coping with sustainability. This report categorizes the examined studies on the gasification process (from 2017 to 2022) through the lens of LCT, discussing the challenges and opportunities. These studies have investigated a variety of biomass feedstock, assessment strategies and tools, geographical span, bioproducts, and databases. The results show that among LCT approaches, by far, the highest interest belonged to life cycle assessment (LCA), followed by life cycle cost (LCC). Only a few studies have addressed exergetic life cycle assessment (ELCA), life cycle energy assessment (LCEA), social impact assessment (SIA), consequential life cycle assessment (CLCA), and water footprint (WLCA). SimaPro® (PRé Consultants, Netherlands), GaBi® (sphere, USA), and OpenLCA (GreenDelta, Germany) demonstrated the greatest contribution. Uncertainty analysis (Monte Carlo approach and sensitivity analysis) was conducted in almost half of the investigations. Most importantly, the results confirm that it is challenging or impossible to compare the environmental impacts of the gasification process with other alternatives since the results may differ based on the methodology, criteria, or presumptions. While gasification performed well in mitigating negative environmental consequences, it is not always the greatest solution compared to other technologies.

Abstract:

Large historical databases, although intended to last for a long time, can become obsolete for a variety of reasons. In this essay these reasons are explored and used for a 'health check' of the Historical Sample of the Netherlands (HSN). The HSN leaders are examined for their visionary qualities and their sense of ownership, and the database for its complementarity, versatility and consistency. The essay concludes that, despite challenges ahead, HSN is sound of mind and body.

Abstract:

The cellular energy metabolism is one of the most conserved processes, as it is present in all living organisms. Mitochondria are providing the eukaryotic cell with energy and thus their genome and gene expression has been of broad interest for a long time. Mitochondrial gene expression changes under different conditions and is regulated by genes encoded in the nucleus of the cell. In this context, little is known about non-model organisms and we provide the first large-scaled gene expression analysis of mitochondrial-linked genes in laying hens. We analysed 28 mitochondrial and nuclear genes in 100 individuals in the context of five life-stages and strain differences among five tissues. Our study showed that mitochondrial gene expression increases during the productive life span, and reacts tissue and strain specific. In addition, the strains react different to potential increased oxidative stress, resulting from the increase in mitochondrial gene expression. The results suggest that the cellular energy metabolism as part of a complex regulatory system is strongly affected by the productive life span in laying hens and thus partly comparable to model organisms. This study provides a starting point for further analyses in this field on non-model organisms, especially in laying-hens.

Abstract:

Abstract. Lifetime performance was analysed in 6 981 Black and White cows with different proportion of Holstein Friesian inheritance from the active population in the Kujawsko- Pomorskie province according to first lactation yield. It was shown that from the viewpoint of lifetime efficiency, the optimum milk yield of first calvers depends on the milk yield level of the herd. In herds with ≤5 000 kg milk production, the best efficiency was shown by the cows that produced 6 001–7 000 kg milk as first calvers. A decrease in lifetime milk yield, reduced life span and length of productive life, and lower fertility should be taken into account for more efficient first calvers. In herds with 5 000–6 500 and >6 500 kg milk production, lifetime milk yield and milk yield per day of (productive) life increased with increased first lactation milk yield, while fertility deteriorated.

Abstract:

Animal welfare includes health but also concerns the need for natural factors that contribute to the increase in viability. Therefore, quantitative parameters are necessary to predict the risks of early culling of cows. In the study of the age dynamics of the disposal rate (culling for sum of reasons + death) in dairy cow populations, it was found that the average productive life span can be predicted by the value of the reciprocal culling/death rate (reciprocal value of Gompertz function) at the first lactation. This means that this potential of viability is formed during the developmental periods preceding the onset of lactation activity. Therefore, taking into account current data in the field of developmental biology, it can be assumed that the structural prerequisites for viability potential are laid down during prenatal development and in the early periods of postnatal life. To prevent unfavorable deviations in these processes due to negative welfare effects, it is advisable to monitor the physiological status of mothers and young animals using biosensors and Big Data systems.

Abstract:

In this ethnographic study, we examine how older Calvinist Protestants in a conservative rural area of the Netherlands experience “meaning in life.” We aim to contribute to current research on meaning in life within social and religious contexts. Here, we specify the concept of meaning in life as connectedness. The latter is broadly interpreted as an overarching conceptual component of existential meaning. Indeed, connectedness appears to be of paramount importance in these older villagers’ experiences of meaning in life. All three authors of this paper collaborated during fieldwork. We analyzed documents such as local newspapers, websites, and (church) newsletters. We visited farms and attended local meetings and gatherings such as church- and community- services, and we conducted qualitative interviews with 29 people. The outcomes of our research point to three forms of connectedness: (1) social connectedness; (2) physical connectedness; and (3) transcendent connectedness.

Abstract:

Purpose The aging workforce is becoming an increasingly important topic in today’s labor market. However, most scientific research and organizational policies focus on chronological age as the main determinant of successful aging. Based on life span developmental theories – primarily socioemotional selectivity theory and motivational theory of life span development – the purpose of this paper is to test the added value of using subjective age – in terms of remaining opportunities and remaining time – over and above chronological age in their associations with motivation at work and motivation to work. Design/methodology/approach Workers from five different divisions throughout the Netherlands (n=186) from a taxi company participated in the survey study. Findings The results from the regression analyses and structural equation modeling analyses support the hypotheses: when subjective age was included in the models, chronological age was virtually unrelated to workers’ intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and motivation to continue to work for one’s organization. Moreover, subjective age was strongly related to work motivation. Specifically, workers who perceived many remaining opportunities were more intrinsically and extrinsically motivated, and those who perceived a lot of remaining time were more motivated across the board. Originality/value The findings indicate that subjective age is an important concept to include in studies focussing on successful aging, thereby contributing to life span developmental theories. Further implications for research and practice are discussed.

Abstract:

Nowadays, STEM education plays an essential role in the economic growth and competitiveness of nations. This systematic review was aimed to reveal research trends in STEM education over the last 10 years. A total of 336 studies published in the Journal of Science Education and Technology, Research in Science Education, Journal of Science Teacher Education, International Journal of Science Education, Journal of Research in Science Teaching, and Science Education were selected for analysis. The time span was limited to the period between 2011 to late 2020. All sample papers were then examined to capture the latest research trends and status regarding STEM education that included the number of papers by year, research types, countries’ rank, and the number of authors. To collect data, the formula proposed by Howard et al. [1] was employed to determine the most productive countries in terms of STEM education scholarships. Findings revealed that STEM education has garnered greater attention and it grew rapidly within this period. The most frequent research type used in STEM education were quantitative studies. In addition, the US, Australia, and the Netherlands were the most productive countries in STEM education research. During these ten years, most papers published in selected journals were written by three authors. This indicates that STEM education is an attractive topic to explore collaboratively by researchers and educators around the world.

Blood 134, Supplement_1 (November 13, 2019): 2261. http://dx.doi.org/10.1182/blood-2019-130732.

Full text

Abstract:

Introduction: Sickle cell anemia (SCA) is caused by mutations in β-globin that result in the production of the abnormal hemoglobin, HbS, with deleterious effects on erythrocyte shape and life span. Because the propensity of erythrocytes to sickle is inversely proportional to the concentration of HbS in the cell, decreasing the mean cellular hemoglobin concentration (MCHC) represents a potential therapeutic approach. Whereas iron restriction in healthy individuals does not alter MCHC, concomitant iron deficiency has been associated with decreased MCHC in SCA patients. Isolated case reports have linked iron restricted erythropoiesis with decreased hemolysis, increased red cell lifespan, and improvement in certain outcomes in SCA patients. We systematically examined the effects of iron restriction on erythropoietic outcomes in SCA utilizing the Townes murine model to investigate the hypothesis that mice with dietary iron deficiency will demonstrate a decreased MCHC, decreased erythrocyte sickling propensity, and improved anemia compared with mice on an iron sufficient diet. Methods: Townes SCA mice were weaned to diets containing either 20 ppm iron (low) or 48 ppm iron (sufficient) and maintained on those diets until sacrifice at 2 months of age. Blood was collected for complete blood count by submandibular or cardiac puncture. Spleen weight was normalized to body weight for calculation of the splenic index. Red cell deformability, defined by the elongation index (EI), and the oxygen pressure at which sickling occurs (point of sickling) during deoxygenation were characterized by oxygenscan ektacytometry using a laser optical rotational red cell analyzer (Mechatronics, The Netherlands). Results: SCA mice fed a 20 ppm low iron diet demonstrate a significant decrease in MCHC compared to SCA mice fed a 48 ppm iron sufficient diet (17.7+1.1 vs 22.7+5.5 g/dL; p <0.05). Mice fed the low iron diet produced more circulating RBCs (5.98+1.03 vs 4.61+0.84 x 106 cells/uL; p <0.05) and a higher hematocrit (39.4+7.1 vs 24.6+4.6%; p <0.05) with a corresponding decrease in splenic index (0.074+0.14 vs 0.087+0.006 g/g body weight; p <0.05) compared to mice fed the iron sufficient diet. RBCs from mice fed the low iron diet showed a significant decrease in the oxygen pressure at the point of sickling compared to RBCs from mice fed the iron sufficient diet (31.9+4.7 vs 40.6+4.6 mmHg; p <0.01). The low iron diet also resulted in an overall improvement in deformability as evidenced by an increase in the EI minimum compared to the iron sufficient diet (0.25+.07 vs 0.12+.03 au; p <0.01). No significant differences between groups were found in maximum deformability (EI max). The improved EI minimum translates to a decreased change in elongation (Delta EI), defined as EI max minus EI min, in RBCs from mice fed the low iron diet compared to mice fed the iron sufficient diet (0.11+.08 vs .23+.02 au; p <0.01). Conclusions: Decreased dietary iron intake is associated with a decrease in the MCHC in Townes SCA mice. The lower MCHC is accompanied by an amelioration of anemia, decreased extramedullary erythropoiesis, improved RBC deformability and a shift in the initiation of sickling to lower oxygen pressures during deoxygenation. We speculate that iron restriction may decrease the clinical complications arising from both hemolysis and sickling in SCA. Future studies will utilize this model system to further characterize the effects of manipulating iron homeostasis on erythropoietic outcomes in SCA.

Abstract:

In this reflective essay, we explore the concept of generativity and propose it as a more positive interpretation of the experience of ‘completed life’ and its bearing on the wish to die. In 2010, more than 100,000 people in the Netherlands signed a petition requesting an extension of the existing euthanasia legislation. They asked the government to grant euthanasia to older persons who feel tired of life and who regard their lives as complete, in the absence of physical or psychic sickness. Debates about ‘completed life’ euthanasia have continued since then, but the various factions in these debates have been unable to reach consensus or conclusion. In this paper, we analyse the concept of generativity and use this to interpret statements by supporters of ‘completed life’ euthanasia. Next, we disentangle common idioms that people use when they grow older and feel that death is approaching yet still out of reach. The aim of this article is to invite readers to reflect on the wish for ‘completed life’ euthanasia as a meaningful end-of-life reaction.

Abstract:

Abstract This presentation integrates anti-racism, anti-ageism, and health equity lenses into the productive aging scholarship. Ageism and racism undermine population health and compromises choices to work and volunteer. These isms, among others, intersect and disproportionately impact populations of color and older adults; nonetheless, these oppressive systems create a culture of intergenerational conflict within the workplace and in general society. I will review key theoretical concepts and values in productive aging scholarship and how intersectionality as a framework has informed the development of new and important research questions for the field. This presentation will also analyze a variety of methodological approaches to examine productive aging and health inequities by race, ethnicity, gender, and age. A discussion on the implications for research, policy, and practice will conclude the presentation.

Abstract:

There is a need for reassessing the specific responsibilities of health care institutions in cases of euthanasia and physician assisted suicide. For many patients health care institutions have become their end-of-life setting. With regard to patients' decisions toward the end of life, hospitals carry three responsibilities of their own: first, they must attend to the needs of the individual patient; second, they are responsible for offering professional expertise and their experience to the patient; and third, they must execute the responsibilities entrusted to them by society. In the way health care institutions cope with institutional decisions toward the end of life, they fulfill an exemplary function. In this contribution we will explore these institutional responsibilities by looking at the developments in The Netherlands.

Abstract:

Abstract While having opportunities to be productively engaged has implications for long, healthy lives, little is known about the geographical distribution of older adults engaged in productive activities. Using the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study, a sample of community-dwelling older adults age 65 and above in the year 2018 (n = 8,728) was used to compare working, volunteering, and caregiving rates between rural and urban areas and Census regions and divisions. Urban and rural rates of individuals who were working were significantly different (p < .05) in the Midwest region and the East North Central and Pacific divisions (e.g., 20.9% in rural Midwest vs. 14.8% in urban Midwest). Urban and rural caregiving rates were significantly different in the East South Central division (35.1% rural vs. 26.2% urban caregivers). Urban and rural rates of individuals who engaged in one or more productive activities (working, volunteering, and caregiving) were significantly different in the West North Central (64.9% rural vs. 56.6% urban) and Middle Atlantic (47.6% rural vs. 58.6% urban) divisions. Urban and rural volunteering rates were significantly different in the West region (37.0% rural vs. 30.2% urban). These findings suggest that older adults’ participation in working, caregiving, and volunteering roles may depend on where they live, and older adults are not a homogeneous group as commonly misunderstood. Future studies should explore the factors that influence these patterns of engagement.

Abstract:

Abstract Social inequalities over the life course shape later life opportunities and outcomes in important ways. However, research on paid and unpaid work in later life has not always captured (and has sometimes mischaracterized) the variety and complexity of lived experiences in later life—in particular for low-income workers, workers of color, women, and others marginalized due to their social position. Further, statistics often obscure the most important information: how the most marginalized older workers are faring. Intersectionality, a term coined by legal scholar, Dr. Kimberlé Crenshaw, describes the overlapping and intersecting social identities that often influence how we move around in society. Some identities garner privilege and power and others oppression and marginalization; we must look at their intersection to better understand complexity and inform solutions. This symposium will apply an intersectional lens to research on paid and unpaid work in later life. The first paper is a scoping review that assesses the extent to which race and ethnicity are investigated in studies of the longitudinal association between workplace demands and cognitive health. The second paper explores how older Black and Hispanic adults’ work engagement is impacted by COVID-19. The third paper considers gender differences in volunteer engagement among Asian-American older adults. The final paper examines the Senior Community Service Employment Program’s role in participant financial, physical, and mental well-being. A discussant will reflect on these studies and the need for continued research that considers intersectionality in opportunities and experiences for paid and unpaid work in later life.

Abstract:

Abstract We hypothesized productive activities, e.g., working and volunteering, would reduce dementia risk and mitigate racial disparities using longitudinal Health, Aging, and Body Composition data (n=3,069). We ran gender-stratified logistic regression models for dementia with socio-demographic and APOE adjustments. Among older men, no significant relationships existed between dementia with work, volunteering, or race in any models. Among older women, in unadjusted models, working vs. not (Yr1) was significantly related to 30% lower odds of dementia (OR=0.70, p≤0.05), and volunteering vs. not (Yr1) was significantly related to 24% lower odds of dementia (OR=0.76, p≤0.05). But, these activities were not significant in other models. Black vs. White women had 35% (OR=1.35, p≤0.05) and 32% (OR=1.32, p=0.052) higher odds of dementia in working and volunteering models with socio-demographic adjustments, respectively, but race was not significant after APOE adjustment. Productive activities are possible contextual interventions to reduce racial disparities in incident dementia among older women.

Abstract:

Abstract Background: Loneliness among older population is a public health concern shared worldwide. Using the motivational theory for life-span development, this study examined the associations between loneliness (social and emotional) and productive activities among midlife and older adults in Japan. Methods: The Japanese National Data on Lifestyle and Mental Health, a nationally representative sample of midlife and older adults (2011, N=1,575), were used to examine how employment, volunteering, helping family and friends, and informal caregiving was associated with social and emotional loneliness, controlling for multiple risk and protective factors. Results: Family caregiving was related to more social loneliness. Working, helping family, and volunteering were related to less emotional loneliness, while family caregiving was related to more emotional loneliness. Japanese male caregivers reported more social isolation compared to female caregivers. Face-to-face interactions reduced emotional loneliness among caregivers. Discussion: Findings underscored the nuanced difference of social loneliness and emotional loneliness. Social policies that advance productive aging should recognize “unintended consequences” and aim to protect older adults from social and emotional loneliness. Counselling services and social support programs specifically for Japanese male caregivers are warranted.

Abstract:

The inertia of fragmented ecosystems allows the study of mechanisms that transform these at plant level, the objective of this research was to develop the methodology to evaluate the photosynthetic activity and the capacity of different plant species that are part of the ecosystem, to recover their productivity. The study was carried out in Acajete Puebla, Mexico, delimiting conserved, transitional and agricultural areas. Tests were carried out with two chlorophyll extraction techniques, and at the same time the CO2 consumed by the plant was randomly measured. The technique with the highest recovery was maceration with 2.38 g of chlorophyll per gram of fresh material. On other hand, the productivity of the agricultural area is greater than the one in transition, which is attributed to the fact that agricultural area is more dynamic since most of the species are herbaceous and have a short life span, contributing to the rapid assimilation, storage and sequestration of carbon. This concludes that the herbaceous species Lachemilla procumbens (gross photosynthetic rate 0.19 ppm CO2/s) and Stevia subpubescens (0.16 ppm CO2/ s) are optimal to start the recovery of a degraded ecosystem.

Abstract:

Abstract Across disciplines, we have long sought to understand the factors that contribute to purpose in life. Theorists have posited that having life goals, feeling productive, and remaining active are essential contributing elements to purpose in life (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1969; Rowe & Kahn, 1997; Ryff, 1989). While these factors can undoubtedly contribute to purpose in life, they may not fully explain purpose in life for older adults in very late life (85 years old and older) who have long past and short future time horizons. In this presentation, we explore the concept of purpose in life for older adults in very late life and how current measures may not fully or accurately apply to this group. We examine the two most commonly used measures of purpose in life, the Purpose in Life Test (Crumbaugh & Maholick, 1964, 1969) and the Ryff Purpose Subscale (Ryff, 1989; Ryff & Keyes, 1995), and identify specific items that should be reconsidered for use with older adults in very late life. We then reconceptualize purpose in life for the oldest old based on several foundational theories, including Socioemotional Selectivity Theory, the Theory of Gerotranscendence, and Terror Management Theory. Stemming from this analysis, we posit that purpose in life in very life consists of three domains – the very long past, the very near future, and the transcendental post-mortem. Based upon this reconceptualization, we recommend the development of new measures of purpose of life in very late life that capture these three domains.

Abstract:

Abstract Objectives: The consumer-directed care (CDC) program aims to maximize health outcomes by offering older adults more control, choice, and flexibility over the care services they received. However, countries may operate CDC programs in different ways based on heterogenous sociostructural systems. We proposed a comparative framework to evaluate three dimensions of CDC—control and direct services, variety of service options, and information and support—and analyzed how countries varied in their policy design to achieve consumer direction. Methods: Using cross-national document analysis, we analyzed eleven CDC programs from seven selected countries (Netherlands, United States (US), United Kingdom (UK), Germany, China, Australia, and Spain) with five CDC care regimes. A total of fourteen indicators capturing three dimensions of CDC programs was developed. We further used these indicators to evaluate and compare similarities and differences of policy features across countries using descriptive statistics and graphical approaches. Results: CDC programs in the Netherlands, Arkansas, and the UK ranked at the top in consumer direction. All countries except Germany employed a “service-based” principle in determination of service type. Training care workers was in the most widespread use to assure quality of care. Merely the UK and Germany integrated CDC and conventional agency care without restrictions. Representative with relevant support was only available in the UK and Netherlands. Discussion and Implication: CDC models involve multi-faced aspects, rather than dichotomies and discrete entities. Implications include the need for a systematic reflection with our developed framework and enriching variety of service options to promote consumer direction.

Abstract:

Background: In recent decades, issues related to end-of-life care and advance care planning (ACP) have attracted popular attention. Advance care planning has been broadly discussed as one of the potential solutions to protect a patient’s rights, autonomy, and dignity at the end of life. To better understand publishing on this topic, we conducted this study to demonstrate the worldwide research productivity, trends, and citations of ACP in the past 3 decades by bibliometric analysis. Methods: Articles published on ACP were retrieved from the Web of Science Core Collection database, and the subject terms included “advance directive,” or “advance care planning.” Results: Overall, 2126 publications on ACP were retrieved until January 22, 2019. North America, Western Europe, and Australia were the most productive regions. The top 15 countries published 95.9% of the total number of articles. The United States accounted for approximately three-fifths (61.0%) of all publications. When adjusted for population size, Australia had the highest number of articles per million persons (6.64), followed by the Netherlands (6.14) and Belgium (4.61). The most productive authors were Sudore (n = 37), Deliens (n = 29), and Green (n = 24). Conclusions: The current study revealed that research in terms of publications on ACP has rapidly increased over the past 3 decades. Developed countries, especially the United States, were more concerned with the ACP research field than developing countries were.

Abstract:

Productive longevity is a very important feature, which is determined by a combination of genotype factors in specific environments. It is known that in recent decades to improve of productive qualities of domestic dairy cattle, the Holstein breeders of different breeds are used. Such measures, although allowed to increase the milk productivity of cows significantly, however, led to reduction in the duration of their productive use. Therefore, the purpose of our research was to study the duration and effectiveness of lifetime use of dairy cows, depending on the country of origin of their father. The research was conducted on animals of Holstein (n = 2902), Ukrainian Black-and-White (n = 14876) and Ukrainian Red-and-White (n = 2176) breeding in various regions of Ukraine. It was established that the controllable number of Holstein cows came from 116 bulls from five different countries. Cows originated from the bulls of Hungarian selection had the longest life and lactation. Cows that came from Canadian bulls had the best life-long yields and life-long number of milk fat. Cows from French bulls were characterized by the worst indicators of productive longevity. Among the descendants of the German bulls, the daughters of the following bulls: Lord 661287, Trend 2761400782690, Bg. Rodeo 27642626161 and Ingo 27677179331, American selection – daughters of B. Astronomer 2160438 and Bob Hubby 2109267, Canadian – daughters of Rock 373840409 and H. R. Artist 6284191, Hungarian – daughters of V.Vilmos 3101733688 and E.Samba 3035115974 and French – daughters of Brico 5794006324 had the best indicators of the duration and efficiency of lifelong use. The studied population of cows of Ukrainian Black-and-White dairy breed came from 167 bulls from eight countries. The largest number of daughters was obtained from domestic bulls (34.6%) and German (29.5%) selection. However, cows of Russian selection had the highest rates of longevity, productive use, lactation, the number of lactations per life, life expectancy and lifetime of milk fat. Daughter Valentina 373840175, Matadora 373840109, Piclenda 373880102 and Tigris 373880127 were lactured more than 4 lactations and had lifelong yield of over 25,000 kg, among the descendants of Russian bulls. Of the descendants of the domestic selection the daughters of the Abrykos 5806 lactated in an average of 6.2 lactation, and their lifetime yields were 38,401 kg. By the number of lactations per life and life-long yields of the daughters of the German bulls, the leader was Presbyter 27621490100, the American – Bob Hubby 2109267 and T. D. Fiasco 1709950, the Canadian – B. Goldgate 6387868 and B. Regensy 394223, the Netherlands – G. Tristan 3021652032 and Baneliai 243931215, Hungarian – E. Samba 3035115974 and P. Selvichar 3023006464. The controlled population of cows of Ukrainian Red-and-White dairy breed came from 69 bulls from five countries. More than 50% of cows of this breed are derived from bulls of German selection. However, the longest duration of productive use and the greatest lifelong yields had daughters of bulls from Canada and Ukrainian selection. Among the descendants of the domestic bulls, according to the indicators of lifetime productivity, the daughters of Khlor 2052 differ markedly. They lacted in average 7.7 lactations, and lifetime longevity was 41,000 kg. Among the descendants of Canadian bulls, the best of their productive use and their lifelong yields had daughters of V. Texel 393522, V.N.Dan 5510544 and Inhibitor 402151, German – Roman 660886883 and Tumpi 112367468, and American – Addikshn 17143107. The influence of the father's country origin on the longevity, productive use, lactation and the number of lactations per life, depending on the breed and the indicator, was within the range of 1.4–17.1, on the indicators of lifetime productivity – within 1.5–9.7%, and the influence of the father on these indicators was, respectively, 9.9–19.9 and 11.4–29.3%.

Abstract:

Abstract Productive aging scholarship has grown in scope and rigor over the last four decades, yet anti-racism and health equity have not been formally integrated into the conceptual framework. Furthermore, there is a dearth of research that explicates heterogeneity among a growing diverse older adult population. This presentation will integrate anti-racism and health equity as core values to productive aging scholarship in order to explore risk and protective factors to employment, volunteering, and caregiving among a growing diverse older adult population. Part of this presentation will include major findings from longitudinal population-based studies as well as key findings from a Consensus Statement by the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) on work and retirement trajectories. Dr. Gonzales will also share professional strategies (e.g., grant submissions, publishing, teaching) with ESPO members who want to center anti-racism, health equity, and social justice in their scholarship.
