If anything arises at another point that you would like to know about your roommates, it is important that you ask them early. It is much easier to ask about something you are not sure about before it becomes a problem. More importantly don’t forget to talk about: ☐ What are you like when you are upset or angry? ☐ How do you let people know when you are upset or angry? ☐ What cheers you up when you are not having a good day? ☐ When are times you would prefer to be alone? ☐ How do you act when you are stressed or pressured? ☐ What are your pet peeves or other things that annoy you? Who we are and our view of the world is influenced by our background, religion, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, values, etc. You are encouraged to reflect on how these affect who you are. Share with each other the degree that you are comfortable. Understand that these are deeply personal. Do not force your roommate to share items they are uncomfortable with and keep items shared confidential (do not share information with others). Please discuss what is important to you and how that applies to guests as well. If anything is unclear, be sure to ask for clarification.

Xxxxxxx (ICB/USP) FAPESP Process 2011/51410-9 l Term: May 2012 to Apr 2016 Lifespan augmentation, one of the most important medical advances in the last century, has not been accompanied by an improvement in the quality of life of elder people since autonomic balance to heart and vessels (an important neural mechanism controlling cardiovascular function – see scheme on Figure 1) declines with aging. Deficits in circulatory autonomic control (decreased vagal / increased sympathetic outflow, resulting in reduced dynamic flexibility and increased mortality) have been indicated as the common final pathway for different diseases such as hypertension, heart failure, stroke, obesity, diabetes, etc. Experimental evidence indicated that sympathetic / parasympathetic imbalance in adult hypertensive rats was accompanied by differential expression of several genes in brain autonomic areas. It is not known whether aging also interferes with gene expression in autonomic areas of hypertensive and normotensive individuals. There are two approaches to treat frailty in old age: increased medical interventions or lifestyle changes. Accumulated evidence has shown that physical activity (a trivial lifestyle modification) improves autonomic control in normotensive and hypertensive animals, but our knowledge of the mechanisms underlying these changes is still scant. It is also unknown if training is able to modify/correct aging-induced deficits and how these changes would affect cardiovascular homeostasis. We hypothesized that the establishment/maintenance of autonomic imbalance (and consequent functional deficits) induced by aging/hypertension is associated with altered expression of a large number of genes in integrative autonomic areas of the brain, which can...

Discuss. Each year the University runs a pre‐induction residential summer school for new applicants who have a disclosed disability. These students often have complex additional needs and this is a great opportunity to get to know them and introduce all the different internal and external support available. Any applicant that decides to study at Coventry University and declares a disability will be contacted by the Welfare and Disabilities Office and invited to the summer school.

Discuss. How you will manage to have the private time you need; what information will not be shared with others. When do you need some alone time? How will this be communicated?

To assert one’s self: DISCUSS: Open communication; how you feel about someone what you need or want; telling each other if something is bothering you. You will know if I am frustrated: I will inform you of problems in this manner: To be free from fear of intimidation, physical and/or emotional harm: DISCUSS: Open communication; how you express anger; respecting each other. To redress grievances: DISCUSS: How conflicts will be settled (Residence Life staff are available for assistance in settling violations). If this agreement is broken, what will the consequences be? When an incident occurs that is in violation of this Agreement, we agree to discuss and rectify the issue in the following manner: Witnesses MUST be present as you read this out loud: We, as roommates, enter into this agreement in good faith.
