Sustainable Development in Maramures County

We argue that a new type of adaptive change management is needed in Romania, in which social and territorial cohesion are key elements of governance, in accordance with sustainable development requirements. Based on critical analysis and comparative study, the paper investigates, using several approaches, the possibility to select those elements that enable determining a viable managerial sustainable development “model” for communities in Maramures County, Romania. New trends worldwide, and the multidimensional aspects of sustainable development of communities, were the subject of examination, through a regional polycentric approach, which led to a new model proposed by the authors. The result is a conceptual integrated model which promotes a balance of interaction between systems—economic, human, environmental and technological—in a dynamic, flexible and functional process

IPRO 340 is focused on the Conceptual Design and planning for Chicago Area health clinics by Access Community Health Network. The quality of health care today has definitely progressed over time and is continually progressing. As technology advances drive us into the 21st century new cures and medical practices are emerging, solving issues that could not be tackled before. But the problem of utilizing these cures and practices to serve the underinsured or financially challenged families is still an evident problem. Our IPRO will prepare the design related information for building a Health Care Center for the Future. This information consists of the legal regulations posed by JCAHO (Joint Commission of Accreditations for Healthcare Organizations), site visits and audits, and a program booklet for the design of the actual Facility. This information will be reinforced in process maps and research done on state of the art technology for healthcare centers and utilized in further developing the facility program and design. Our IPRO believes the facility should be designed to maximize efficiency, effectiveness, and quality of health care.Deliverable

Effects of aging and diet on cardioprotection and cardiometabolic risk markers

The prevalence of several diseases increases by age, including cardiovascular diseases, which are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Aging, as a complex process characterized by senescence, triggers various pathways, such as oxidative stress, systemic inflammation, metabolism dysfunction, telomere shortening, mitochondrial dysfunction and deregulated autophagy. A better understanding of the mechanisms underlying senescence may lead to the development of new therapeutic targets and strategies for age-related pathologies and extend the healthy lifespan. Modulating lifestyle risk factors and adopting healthy dietary patterns remain significant tools in delaying the aging process, decreasing age-associated comorbidities and mortality, increasing life expectancy and consequently, preventing the development of cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, such a strategy represents the most cost-effective approach, and the quality of life of the subjects may be significantly improved. An integrated, personalized approach targeting cardiometabolic aging and frailty is suggested in daily clinical practice. However, it should be initiated from an early age. Moreover, there is a need for further well designed and controlled studies in order to elucidate a link between the time of feeding, longevity and cardiovascular prevention. In the future, it is expected that the pharmacological treatment in cardioprotective management will be necessary, accompanied by equally important lifestyle interventions and adjunctive exercise
