Although immigrant adjustment has been widely studied, the impact of climate and environmental changes on immigrants' experiences, particularly among older immigrants, has received less attention. Older immigrants are especially vulnerable due to challenges arising from the intersection of advanced age and immigrant status, challenges that are further compounded by global climate change. This study addresses this gap by exploring the retrospective experiences and current perceptions of older immigrants from the Former Soviet Union (FSU) in Israel, focusing on their climate transition and adaptation processes. Drawing on the life course perspective and intersectionality approach as key theoretical frameworks, the study examines how past experiences and intersecting social identities influence adaptation to new climatic conditions and natural environment.

We employed a qualitative methodology, utilizing semi-structured interviews and focus groups with 28 older Israeli immigrants from the FSU who arrived in Israel during the 1990s. Thematic content analysis revealed three key themes: 1) the experience of climate transition upon initial arrival in Israel and over time; 2) nostalgia for the climatic and environmental conditions of the FSU; and 3) strategies for acclimating and finding comfort in the new climatic and natural environment of Israel.

The findings highlight the diverse and complex nature of climate transition experiences among older immigrants, shaped by various psychosocial factors. These insights emphasize the need for tailored support to assist older immigrants in adapting to new climate conditions, which is crucial as global climate change continues to impact vulnerable populations.

尽管移民适应已被广泛研究，但气候和环境变化对移民经历的影响，特别是对老年移民的影响，却很少受到关注。老年移民尤其容易受到高龄和移民身份交叉带来的挑战的影响，而全球气候变化进一步加剧了这一挑战。本研究通过探索以色列前苏联（FSU）老年移民的回顾性经历和当前看法，重点关注他们的气候转型和适应过程，解决了这一差距。该研究以生命历程视角和交叉性方法为关键理论框架，探讨了过去的经历和交叉的社会身份如何影响对新气候条件和自然环境的适应。我们采用了一种定性方法，利用半结构化访谈和焦点小组对28名来自FSU的20世纪90年代抵达以色列的年长以色列移民进行了调查。主题内容分析揭示了三个关键主题：1)初到以色列时和随着时间的推移气候转变的经验；2)怀念前苏联的气候和环境条件；3)适应和适应以色列新气候和自然环境的策略。研究结果强调了老年移民的气候转变经历的多样性和复杂性，受到各种社会心理因素的影响。这些见解强调了有必要为老年移民提供量身定制的支持，以帮助他们适应新的气候条件，这在全球气候变化继续影响弱势群体的情况下至关重要。

In this scholarly investigation, the discourse revolves around the phenomenon of aging, a salient concern within the realm of social policy and social services, as elucidated through the portrayal of older individuals in the films I Care a Lot, I, Daniel Blake, Lun Lok Yan, and Bizi Hatırla. Employing a qualitative research approach, the study's research design was structured as a case study, with the thematic content analysis method being employed for data examination. The underpinning theoretical framework of this research hinged upon Carroll Estes' political economy model. This comprehensive model scrutinizes the overarching concept of aging on a macroscopic scale, delving into its ideological, state-related, gender-based, post-industrial capitalist, and globalized dimensions, while concurrently delving into the interwoven systems of subjugation at a micro level, which encompass class, race/ethnicity, gender, and citizenship. Primarily, the study delves into aging and its multifaceted dimensions, encompassing demographic, societal, and historical facets. Subsequently, it elucidates the challenges that manifest during the aging process and elucidates prominent social theories pertaining to older people. The political economy theory, coupled with Estes' model, is elaborated upon expansively. The concluding segment, centered on film analysis, subjects the selected film to a detailed examination, aligning with five research inquiries fashioned in consonance with the aforementioned theoretical framework. The findings thus gleaned evinced a congruence between the cinematic portrayal of aging experiences and the precepts of the political economy theory, thus lending support to Estes' perspectives.

在这一学术研究中，论述围绕着老龄化现象展开，老龄化是社会政策和社会服务领域的一个突出问题，正如电影《我很关心》、《我》、《丹尼尔·布莱克》、《伦洛克严》和《比兹Hatırla》中对老年人的刻画所阐明的那样。本研究采用定性研究方法，研究设计为个案研究，数据检验采用专题内容分析法。本研究的基础理论框架依赖于卡罗尔·埃斯蒂斯的政治经济学模型。这个综合模型在宏观尺度上审视了老龄化的总体概念，深入研究了其意识形态、国家相关、基于性别、后工业资本主义和全球化的维度，同时在微观层面上深入研究了交织在一起的征服系统，包括阶级、种族/民族、性别和公民身份。首先，该研究深入研究了老龄化及其多方面，包括人口、社会和历史方面。随后，它阐明了在老龄化过程中出现的挑战，并阐明了与老年人有关的重要社会理论。结合埃斯蒂斯的模型，对政治经济学理论进行了广泛的阐述。结论部分，以电影分析为中心，对选定的电影进行详细的检查，与上述理论框架一致的五项研究调查保持一致。因此，收集到的研究结果证明了电影对老龄化经历的描绘与政治经济学理论的原则之间的一致性，从而为埃斯蒂斯的观点提供了支持。

Mobilities and leisure in later ages: The role of religious tourism in the lives of low-income older women in India 晚年的流动性和休闲：宗教旅游在印度低收入老年妇女生活中的作用

Background and objectives

With the expansion of low-income urban areas in low and middle-income countries (LMIC), the recognition of leisure opportunities for older women remains under-researched. This study uses a mobility framework to explore access to leisure for older adults in a low-income neighbourhood in Bengaluru, India.

Research design and methods

This ethnographic study included participant observations, 33 in-depth interviews with older adults, and key informants, supplemented by archival research to explore leisure mobility. The paper specifically focuses on a religious tour through rural Tamil Nadu, India, which the primary researcher undertook with a group of older women from one of Bengaluru's oldest low-income neighbourhoods.

Results

We found that community mobilities, such as the annual religious tours, enabled older women to temporarily escape urban hardships and offered them a phase of agency to plan their travel and leisure. Everyday mobility opportunities for travel unrelated to work were often not age-friendly or accessible. The religious tour on the rented bus became a theatre of devotion, a platform for performing spirituality, and a safe environment to sing, dance, and enjoy commensality.

Discussion and implications

The study contributes to the literature on how the social lives of economically disadvantaged older women are constrained by local cultural norms and limited opportunities for mobility. The religious tour, along with the process of organising and carrying it out, can be seen as an act of resilience by older women. Policies promoting inclusive ageing and transport infrastructure in low- and middle-income countries must be attuned to forms of mobility that do not neatly fit into categories such as leisure, social, spiritual, or religious.

背景和目的随着低收入和中等收入国家（LMIC）低收入城市地区的扩大，对老年妇女休闲机会的认识仍未得到充分研究。本研究使用流动性框架来探索印度班加罗尔低收入社区老年人的休闲机会。研究设计和方法本人种学研究包括参与者观察、33位老年人和关键信息提供者的深度访谈，并辅以档案研究来探索休闲出行。这篇论文特别关注了印度泰米尔纳德邦农村的宗教之旅，这是首席研究员与一群来自班加罗尔最古老的低收入社区之一的老年妇女一起进行的。结果我们发现，社区流动，如每年一次的宗教旅游，使老年妇女暂时逃离城市的艰辛，并为她们提供了一个阶段的代理计划自己的旅行和休闲。与工作无关的日常出行机会往往不适合老年人，也不方便使用。租来的巴士上的宗教之旅变成了一个虔诚的剧院，一个表演灵性的平台，一个唱歌、跳舞和享受共生的安全环境。讨论与启示本研究对经济上处于不利地位的老年妇女的社会生活如何受到当地文化规范和有限的流动机会的限制的文献作出了贡献。宗教之旅，以及组织和实施的过程，可以被视为老年妇女的一种恢复能力的行为。在低收入和中等收入国家促进包容性老龄化和交通基础设施的政策，必须与不能完全归入休闲、社会、精神或宗教等类别的各种流动形式相适应。

A risk present in medically informed psychosocial interventions for dementia, including musical interventions, is the potential to overly prioritise the reduction of cognitive decline, which can inadvertently emphasise deterioration and loss of skills and capacities. This focus can lead to disempowering people living with dementia rather than supporting and building on the skills that remain. In this paper, we present approaches linked with a more positive outlook on dementia, examining the strengths that continue in people living with dementia, as evidenced by how they engage in musical activities. We pay specific attention to how people living with dementia use embodied and relational ways of being and interacting with others, as well as the benefits that musical engagement can provide to selfhood, couplehood and agency in a context of change and adaptation due to the development of the condition. We propose a shift in perspective that takes advantage of music's affordances for embodied communication and connection, recognising people living with dementia as active agents with strengths in habituated ways of acting. With this shift we examine how couples can scaffold each other's abilities to reach towards a balanced sense of reciprocity. To further support this balanced reciprocity through embodied and relational aspects of musical participation, we make a proposal for the design of assistive music technologies that will support notions of we-perspective, joint agency and joint action, with each of these providing wellbeing benefits for people living with dementia and their carers. Drawing on the potential effects that embodiment and relationality have on agency, selfhood and couplehood in musical engagement, we present a case for reassessing the goals and design of musical activities and the technologies to support them.

以医学为依据的痴呆症社会心理干预（包括音乐干预）中存在的一个风险是，可能会过度优先考虑减少认知能力的衰退，从而无意中强调了技能和能力的退化和丧失。这种侧重点可能会削弱痴呆症患者的能力，而不是支持和发扬他们所保留的技能。在本文中，我们介绍了与对痴呆症更积极的看法相关联的方法，研究了痴呆症患者身上持续存在的优势，这些优势可以从他们如何参与音乐活动中得到证明。我们特别关注痴呆症患者如何使用体现性和关系性的方式与他人相处和互动，以及在因病情发展而变化和适应的背景下，参与音乐活动能为自我身份、夫妻身份和代理权带来的益处。我们建议转变视角，利用音乐在身体交流和联系方面的优势，承认痴呆症患者是积极的行为主体，在习惯的行为方式方面具有优势。通过这种转变，我们研究了夫妻双方如何为彼此的能力提供支架，以实现平衡的互惠感。为了通过音乐参与的体现和关系方面进一步支持这种平衡的互惠，我们提出了设计辅助音乐技术的建议，这些技术将支持 "我们-视角"、"共同代理 "和 "共同行动 "的概念，其中每一个概念都能为痴呆症患者及其照顾者带来福祉。根据体现和关系性对音乐参与中的代理、自我身份和情侣身份的潜在影响，我们提出了重新评估音乐活动的目标和设计以及支持这些活动的技术的理由。

This article examines Harold Pinter's 1959 radio play A Slight Ache through the lens of aging. It argues that Pinter utilizes sound-based techniques to heighten the introspective crisis of aging experienced by the protagonist Edward. The matchseller in the play serves as an auditory doppelgänger, representing Edward's unresolved conflict between his youthful self-image and his aging body, a struggle that drives the play's psychological depth. Moreover, the article explores Edward's loneliness via his one-sided dialogues and emotive pauses, as well as his disoriented experience of time and space in his process of aging. Pinter's innovative use of radiophonic devices enhances the introspective depth, encouraging listeners to engage with Edward's experience on a deeply personal level and a more empathetic view of the complexities of growing older.

本文从衰老的视角审视了哈罗德-品特 1959 年的广播剧《微痛》。文章认为，品特利用以声音为基础的技巧来强化主人公爱德华所经历的衰老危机。剧中的卖火柴者充当了听觉上的二重身，代表了爱德华在年轻的自我形象和衰老的身体之间无法解决的冲突，而这种挣扎推动了该剧的心理深度。此外，文章还通过爱德华的片面对话和情感停顿，探讨了他的孤独感，以及他在衰老过程中对时间和空间的迷失体验。品特创新性地使用了无线电设备，增强了内省的深度，鼓励听众从深层次参与爱德华的经历，并以更加感同身受的视角看待复杂的老年生活。

This study investigates the cognitive constructions surrounding the aging experience in British English and Mandarin Chinese. The study employs corpus data to explore how fixed phrases manifest the perceptions of ‘age’, ‘aging’, and by extension ‘old age’. It lays out the linguistic patterns that are common in each language. By analyzing the similarities and differences, the findings show that the same biological phenomenon is not expressed in the same linguistic patterns consistently across languages, and that culture plays an important role in structuring conceptual preferences. Most distinctively, ‘age’ in Chinese can be a separate entity with an upward-oriented path on the aging JOURNEY which is unfound in English. This study sheds light on the associations between language, thought and culture to foster sensitive communication under the background that aging perceptions may have an impact on older adults' general wellbeing and health behavior.

本研究调查了英式英语和汉语普通话中围绕衰老体验的认知结构。研究采用语料库数据，探讨固定短语如何体现 "年龄"、"衰老 "以及由此引申的 "老年 "的认知。它列出了每种语言中常见的语言模式。通过分析这些语言的异同，研究结果表明，同一种生物现象在不同语言中的表达方式并不一致，文化在概念偏好的结构中扮演着重要角色。最与众不同的是，汉语中的 "年龄 "可以是一个独立的实体，在衰老的旅程中具有向上的路径，这在英语中是找不到的。本研究揭示了语言、思想和文化之间的关联，从而在老龄化观念可能影响老年人总体福祉和健康行为的背景下，促进敏感的沟通。

While it is imperative to develop building design innovation to adapt to new care models and organisational processes in residential care facilities, there is a lack of research evidence on the interplay between design and resident lived experience, particularly when examined through a building design lens. This study aims to explore the building design factors that contribute to residents' quality of life (QoL), and thus, their ability to find home. The research objectives are to: 1) document and analyse the layout and spatial design of three different typologies (Traditional, Medium, and Small Household models) against key QoL themes and the residents' everyday lived use and sense of feeling at home; and 2) compare the architectural, layout, and lived use of the three typologies through a socio-spatial lens. Employing a mixed methods approach, incorporating architectural and ethnographic research strategies, we identified six key design concepts encompassing 14 factors that might be related to residents' quality of life. The research highlights distinct everyday lived use and spatial adaptation among the three building typologies, with the Small Household case study standing out for providing an excellent holistic setting, resulting in high levels of observed QoL. This paper also suggests practical insights into improving building design briefs.

虽然开发建筑设计创新以适应新的护理模式和住宿护理设施的组织流程势在必行，但有关设计与居民生活体验之间相互作用的研究证据却很缺乏，尤其是通过建筑设计的视角来考察时更是如此。本研究旨在探索影响住户生活质量（QoL）的建筑设计因素，从而了解住户寻找家的能力。研究目标如下1) 记录并分析三种不同类型（传统型、中户型和小户型）的布局和空间设计，并将其与关键的 QoL 主题以及居民的日常使用情况和家的感觉联系起来；以及 2) 通过社会空间视角，比较三种类型的建筑、布局和日常使用情况。我们采用混合方法，结合建筑学和人种学研究策略，确定了与居民生活质量相关的六个关键设计概念，包括 14 个因素。研究强调了三种建筑类型之间不同的日常生活使用和空间适应性，其中小户型案例研究因提供了极佳的整体环境而脱颖而出，从而获得了高水平的生活质量。本文还提出了改进建筑设计概要的实用见解。

In particular, the articles in this issue present original and insightful discussions about the relational, material, embodied and interactive nature of ‘aging together-with’ environments, technologies, animals and pets, and more, across plural and hybrid temporalities and vital spaces of life. My writing both looks outward to where this issue critiques and advances current trends in aging studies and inward to reflect on my own contributions to these trends.

本评论讨论了由米切拉-科扎和安娜-万卡编辑的 "共同老龄化：人类、非人类和超人类的老龄化 "特刊中汇集的主要思想领域。特别是，本期的文章对 "与环境、技术、动物和宠物等一起变老 "的关系、物质、体现和互动性质，以及多元和混合的时空和生命的重要空间，进行了独创性和富有洞察力的讨论。我的文章既向外看本期杂志对当前老龄化研究趋势的批判和推进，也向内反思我自己对这些趋势的贡献。
