Show me your teeth," the great naturalist Georges Cuvier is credited with saying, "and I will tell you who you are." In this shattering new work, veteran health journalist Mary Otto looks inside America's mouth, revealing unsettling truths about our unequal society. Teeth takes readers on a disturbing journey into America's silent epidemic of oral disease, exposing the hidden connections between tooth decay and stunted job prospects, low educational achievement, decreased social mobility, and the troubling state of our public health. Otto's subjects include the pioneering dentist who made Shirley Temple and Judy Garland's teeth sparkle on the silver screen and helped create the all-American image of "pearly whites"; Deamonte Driver, the young Maryland boy whose tragic death from an abscessed tooth sparked congressional hearings; and a marketing guru who offers advice to dentists on how to push new and expensive treatments and how to keep Medicaid patients at bay. In one of its most disturbing findings, Teeth reveal that toothaches are not an occasional inconvenience, but rather a chronic reality for millions of people, including disproportionate numbers of the elderly and people of color. Many people, Otto reveals, resort to prayer to counteract the uniquely devastating effects of dental pain. Otto also goes back in time to understand the roots of our predicament in the history of dentistry, showing how it became separated from mainstream medicine, despite a century of growing evidence that oral health and general bodily health are closely related. Muckraking and paradigm-shifting, Teeth exposes for the first time the extent and meaning of our oral health crisis. It joins the small shelf of books that change the way we view society and ourselves - and will spark an urgent conversation about why our teeth matter.

This volume brings together a range of interdisciplinary perspectives on a topic of central importance, but which has otherwise tended to be approached from within just one or another disciplinary framework. Most of the essays contained here incorporate some degree of interdisciplinarity in their own approach, but the volume nevertheless divides into three main sections, philosophical considerations, humanities approaches, legal, medical, and therapeutic contexts. The volume includes essays by philosophers, medical practitioners and researchers, historians, lawyers, literary, classical, and Judaic scholars. The essays are united by a common concern with the question of the human character of suffering, and the demands that suffering, and the recognition of suffering, make upon us.

Skripsi ini berfokus pada kajian suffering dan coping mechanism pada lansia di sebuah panti werdha swasta di daerah Cibubur, yaitu Sasana Tresna Werdha (STW) Karya Bhakti RIA Pembangunan. Melalui wawancara mendalam dan pengamatan terlibat saya berupaya memahami bagaimana suffering dapat terbentuk dan bagaimana upaya yang dilakukan lansia untuk menghadapinya hingga dapat keluar dari situasi tersebut. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa bentuk strategi coping mechanism dilakukan oleh lansia guna melepaskan diri dari situasi yang membuat mereka tertekan. Terwujudnya tindakan berupa strategi ini didorong oleh agensi yang dimiliki lansia sebagai aktor. Dijelaskan pula berbagai bentuk tindakan lansia ketika mengalami suffering, strategi coping mechanism yang mereka lakukan sebagai bentuk upaya menanggulanginya, serta bagaimana bentuk-bentuk strategi tersebut dapat mereka wujudkan. ......This paper focuses on the suffering and coping mechanism that are experienced by elderly in a private home care in Cibubur, called Sasana Tresna Werdha (STW) Karya Bhakti RIA Pembangunan. Through in-depth interviews and participant observations, I seek to understand how suffering could be formed and what actions that elderly do to get out of that situation. The study showed that some forms of coping mechanism strategies were carried out by the elderly to escape themselves from situations that made them depressed. The realization of these strategies is driven by the agency owned by the elderly as an actor. This paper also explains various forms of elderly actions when they were in suffering situation, coping mechanism strategies that they embodied as a form of effort to deal with that situation, and how these forms can be actualized.

As societies become more complex and interconnected, the global risk for catastrophic disasters is increasing. Demand for expertise to mitigate the human suffering and damage these events cause is also high. A new field of disaster medicine is emerging, offering innovative approaches to optimize disaster management. Much of the information needed to create the foundation for this growing specialty is not objectively described or is scattered among multiple different sources. This definitive work brings together a coherent and comprehensive collection of scientific observations and evidence-based recommendations with expert contributors from around the globe. This book identifies essential subject matter, clarifies nomenclature, and outlines necessary areas of proficiency for healthcare professionals handling mass casualty crises. It also describes in-depth strategies for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of victims suffering from blast injuries or exposure to chemical, biological, and radiological agents.

ABSTRAK
Kebutuhan hidup manusia yang semakin meningkat nyatanya tidak disertai dengan rasa kepedulian kepada alam. Alam selama ini hanya dianggap sebagai objek, atau sebagai pemenuh kebutuhan manusia. Cara berpikir seperti ini membuat manusia tidak dapat terlepas dari perilaku antroposentrisme dengan menempatkan kepentingan manusia lebih tinggi dibandingkan dengan kepentingan makhluk hidup lainnya. Tingginya permintaan serta harga jual sirip hiu yang cukup tinggi, membuat praktik perburuan terhadap hiu sangat sulit untuk dihentikan terlebih di laut Indonesia. Padahal pada kenyataannya, hiu memiliki peranan yang penting dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekosistem laut. Prinsip utilitarianisme Peter Singer digunakan sebagai kaca mata dalam memandang alam beserta segala makhluk yang bukan manusia, bahwa alam dan hiu juga memiliki kepentingan. Tolok ukur yang digunakan Singer adalah kemampuan merasakan sakit. Konsep utilitas yang akan dihadirkan dalam kasus ini adalah mencoba menghasilkan kebahagiaan yang plural, dimana semua kehidupan makhluk yang ada di bumi dapat bertahan.

ABSTRACT
The need of human life is increasingly in fact not accompanied by a sense of care to nature. Nature has been regarded only as an object, or as a fulfillment of human needs. This way of thinking makes human beings inseparable from anthropocentrism behavior by placing human interest higher than other living things. The high demand and high prices of shark fins make the practice of hunting for sharks very difficult to stop in the Indonesian sea. In fact, sharks have an important role in maintaining the balance of marine ecosystems. The principle of utilitarianism Peter Singer used as a spectacle in view of nature and all non human beings, that nature and sharks also have an interest. Singer benchmark uses is the ability to feel pain. The concept of utility to be presented in this case is to try to produce plural happiness, where all the living beings that exist on earth can survive.
