1) Debates around allowing photography, audio/video recording, and broadcasting of courtroom proceedings, with exceptions allowed for things like note-taking, educational purposes, or with consent.
2) Rules around lawyers and judges upholding standards of professional conduct and encouraging public respect for the justice system through their social media use and comments.
3) Considerations around how much weight should be given to social media posts and photos as evidence, and whether context needs to be taken into account. Experts may sometimes be called to explain social media use and behavior.
Health records for the Elderly in Long-Term Care and Community SettingsOmar Ha-Redeye
This document discusses privacy considerations and challenges related to health records for the elderly. It covers the following key points:
- Privacy laws like PHIPA aim to balance individual privacy with proper information sharing in health care, but recent breaches show risks to privacy from lost devices and unencrypted records.
- Elderly patients in long-term care often have complex conditions like dementia and dependencies in daily activities, while facilities face challenges from limited resources and increasing use of technology.
- By 2031, the number of Canadians with cognitive impairment is projected to double to 1.4 million, drastically increasing health care costs to an estimated $293 billion annually by 2040.
- While medical records are owned by facilities
The document summarizes an externship program for UofT law students at Fleet Street Law's College Park location. The agenda includes arrival and introductions, a walk to the courthouse, a visit to the Great Library, lunch, and a group information interview. Lawyers will discuss how they got into their career, a typical day or week, what they like best and find most challenging about their work, current industry trends and anticipated changes, required skills, common misconceptions, work style, work-life balance, related career fields, travel requirements, and starting salaries. Starting salaries for lawyers in private practice in Toronto range from $65,000-$110,000 for first years depending on firm size.
Rajeev Sharma - Ontario health privacy law Omar Ha-Redeye
This document outlines Ontario's privacy laws regarding personal health information. It summarizes that several statutes regulate privacy and disclosure of medical information in Ontario, notably the Personal Health Information Protection Act. This act regulates collection, use and disclosure of personal health information by health information custodians like hospitals, doctors, and pharmacies. It aims to balance privacy rights with the needs of the healthcare system. The document then discusses enforcement of these laws through complaints, penalties, lawsuits and reputational harm for non-compliance.
The First Rule of Social Media. And the Last.Omar Ha-Redeye
Social media has become an integral part of modern life and business. However, one must be mindful of what they post online, as future employers and clients may come across unwanted or inappropriate content. It is best to maintain a professional online presence and observe caution and common sense when using social media.

This document summarizes research on developing non-pneumatic cellular lunar wheel prototypes. It describes generating wheel concepts with cellular structures for lightweight and variable mechanical properties. Simulations and compression tests were performed on sample prototypes, with errors found between simulated and tested properties. Larger prototypes were manufactured and recommendations made to improve traction, consider non-linear behavior, and investigate high fatigue materials. The best final prototype balanced manufacturability, mechanical properties, weight and deformability.
This document discusses how understanding demographic and economic forces is important for comprehensive planning. It provides an overview of key demographic trends like changing household structures, a growing minority population, and an aging population. It also discusses the importance of evaluating the local economy by understanding key industries and how they may change. The document emphasizes that transportation must be considered as it influences the locations of jobs, housing, and economic activity. It concludes by providing four lessons for comprehensive planning: understand opportunities for change in the community; consider the regional economic context; use data to support land use policies; and plan for diverse demographics, industries, and transportation needs.

Rajasthan has a low HIV prevalence but high vulnerability. Most women and men receive information about HIV from television and radio. IEC (information, education, communication) aims to promote positive behaviors and develop communication strategies. The objectives of IEC include motivating behavior change, raising awareness, reducing stigma, and creating an enabling environment. Key IEC components include mass media campaigns, condom promotion, and mainstreaming HIV issues into various government agencies and corporations. Mainstreaming is addressing HIV/AIDS internally and externally in all sectors. Examples of successful mainstreaming in Rajasthan include incorporating HIV issues into government trainings and having corporate organizations install condom corners.
This document discusses rare disease treatment and international collaborations. It identifies key players in rare disease including health economists, academic researchers, industry, regulators, payers, patients, and policy makers. It outlines several international consortiums working on rare disease research and treatment access, including IRDiC, Adapt-Smart, and EUPATI. The benefits of international collaboration are bringing all players to the table to work towards common understanding and sustainable solutions. It could also provide a single integrated message about Canada's scientific expertise and a potential roadmap for other countries.
This document provides details about the reproductive and child health program (NRHM) implemented by four non-governmental organizations (FNGOs) across three blocks in Kinnaur district. The objectives of the program are to increase family planning, awareness of health facilities, reduce prevalence of reproductive tract infections, and increase antenatal care, institutional deliveries, and immunization coverage. From 2007-2010, the FNGOs organized health camps, STI treatment, counseling for eligible couples and adolescents. They generated awareness through household visits, group meetings, and information materials. Networking with health centers was also strengthened.

The document provides an overview of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Southern Africa and discusses key factors that influence risk, vulnerability, and susceptibility. It notes that Southern Africa remains the global epicenter of the epidemic. The document also outlines several commitments that have been made to address HIV/AIDS through policies, programs, and initiatives. Finally, it discusses different spheres for HIV/AIDS response efforts, including prevention, care, support, treatment, advocacy, and research.
The document summarizes the American Cancer Society's "Meet the Targets" program from 2012-2014 that provided $380,000 to support national advocacy efforts related to cancer and other chronic diseases in 10 countries. The goals of the program were to ensure implementation of commitments made at a 2011 meeting and hold decision-makers accountable to global targets. Evidence showed the program helped foster policy changes like anti-tobacco measures in Brazil and a tax on sugary drinks in Mexico. Next steps discussed expanding successful projects and sharing stories to influence global health policies.
STD syndromic management involves diagnosing and treating sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) based on identifying syndromes - groups of symptoms and signs - through the use of clinical flowcharts. It is the recommended approach for primary healthcare settings in developing countries as it allows prompt diagnosis and treatment of STDs without requiring laboratory tests. Key aspects of STD syndromic management include defining common syndromes, developing standardized flowcharts to guide treatment, evaluating the sensitivity and specificity of the flowcharts, and integrating additional STD control strategies like partner treatment, health education, condom distribution, and syphilis screening. Implementing syndromic management programs in various Latin American and Caribbean countries has demonstrated the approach's effectiveness in improving STD case management.
The document discusses partnerships and networking for Spina Bifida prevention campaigns in Italy. It outlines various prevention initiatives including the National Spina Bifida Week, a COOP campaign, a Prevention Month, and school programs. These involve partnerships between the Italian Spina Bifida Association and other organizations to raise awareness and promote folic acid intake to reduce Spina Bifida occurrences. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of developing partnerships and networks at national and international levels to support large-scale primary prevention efforts.
This document discusses strategies to help micro and small enterprises (MSEs) affected by HIV/AIDS remain active participants in productive markets. It first provides background on the importance of MSEs in developing economies and how the HIV/AIDS epidemic impacts MSEs. It then identifies four main constraints HIV/AIDS places on MSEs' ability to participate in value chains: limited resources, high transaction costs, increased risks, and lack of market orientation. The document proposes six approaches to address these constraints, including financial services, legal assistance, workplace policies, labor-saving technologies, inter-firm cooperation, and vertical linkages. It argues these strategies can help mitigate the economic impact of the epidemic and prevent MSEs from falling out of markets.
