This document discusses recognition and identification of depression. It notes that about two-thirds of depression care is provided in primary care settings, while only about 10-25% is provided by psychiatry. Screening tools can help with routine detection of depression in medical settings. The document reviews common symptoms of depression based on criteria from diagnostic manuals and screening tools, noting that back to basics on symptom recognition is important. It also discusses the significance of different numbers and combinations of symptoms in categorizing depression as sub-syndromal, mild, moderate or severe.

The document discusses using SSH tunnels and localtunnel to expose local web services to the public internet. It introduces CloudTunnel, an open-source tool that runs localtunnel as a daemon and automatically restarts tunnels if they fail. CloudTunnel allows custom domain names and keeps connections alive regardless of laptop sleep or server restarts. The client registers tunnels with a Sinatra API service on Heroku to redirect requests from custom domains to the current tunnel address.

Building Lasting relationships with alumni

Salesforce.org

The document discusses Smith College's pilot project to test a CRM model to enhance engagement with alumni. The goals of the project were to provide a consistent online experience for alumni, deliver targeted content, and use data to evaluate engagement efforts. The project included designing an online alumni community, integrating CRM systems, designing personalized emails, and testing geolocation tools to engage donors. It also discusses Notre Dame's Notre Dame Day campaign to engage alumni globally using social media, 34 campus partners, over 1,000 social ambassadors, and the Radian6 social media monitoring tool to track 20,000 social mentions and drive traffic to their website and fundraising goals.

Workshop on Flood management in a transboundary context, 13-14.12.2011

GWP-Mediterranean (GWP-Med)

The document describes using a whole-farm optimization model called MIDAS to evaluate the profitability and environmental impacts of incorporating forage shrubs into a typical 3000 hectare crop-livestock farm in Australia's low rainfall Mallee region. The model simulates over 200 crop-pasture rotations across 7 different land management units and considers interactions between enterprises. Model results show that incorporating up to 10% forage shrubs has little impact on whole-farm profit, but above 10% profit sharply declines. Higher shrub biomass production and nutrient levels increase potential profitability. Changes to commodity prices also impact the optimal shrub allocation.

The document describes the implementation of Advanced Access scheduling at Triangle Family Practice. They were previously seeing 300 new patients per month with a 90 day wait for annual physicals. They decided to pilot Advanced Access to address high no-show rates, low patient and staff satisfaction, and inefficiencies. They closed to new patients and worked through the backlog. They changed policies to focus on same-day access and maximizing what is done at each visit. This improved access to providers, increased appointment acuity, and freed up future schedule space.

Introduction to windows workflow foundation (2007)

This document discusses improvements and changes to the Dyninst dynamic binary instrumentation tool. Key points include: 1. Dyninst 8.0 features component integration, additional analyses like register liveness, improved overhead reduction, and support for new platforms. 2. Dyninst has been redesigned to separate its core functionality into distinct components for tasks like parsing, patching, and process control. 3. The goal is for Dyninst to act as a thin layer over these components, making the components more capable and backwards compatible interfaces. This improves extensibility and maintenance.

Women are projected to make up the majority of the US labor force for the first time in history. This will have significant economic impacts as women increasingly control household spending and incomes. Small community banks are gaining market share by marketing themselves as more trustworthy alternatives to the large banks that received government bailouts. Tax rebate checks are expected to provide a short-term boost to the economy, with women and young adults planning to spend the largest portions of their checks.

Workshop on Flood management in a transboundary context, 13-14.12.2011

GWP-Mediterranean (GWP-Med)

The document summarizes a workshop on flood management in a transboundary context held in Zagreb, Croatia on December 13-14th, 2011. The workshop was part of capacity building activities focused on transboundary water resource management. Participants engaged in lectures, case studies, and a practice exercise to simulate negotiations between an upstream and downstream delegation over flood concerns and proposed agreements. Key concerns identified included environmental impacts, infrastructure development, emergency response, and information sharing. The simulated negotiations resulted in proposed protocols on cooperation, structural and non-structural measures, and cross-related plans to address flood management across boundaries.

Workshop on Flood management in a transboundary context, 13-14.12.2011

GWP-Mediterranean (GWP-Med)

This document summarizes a workshop on flood management in a transboundary context held in Zagreb, Croatia in December 2011. The workshop aimed to enhance practical capacity for integrated management of shared water bodies. Topics included the impacts of climate change on floods, balancing hydropower and flood control, and mechanisms for flood preparedness and mitigation in transboundary basins. Case studies and exercises were used to simulate transboundary cooperation on flood issues. The hypothetical case study for one exercise involved three countries sharing three rivers, with concerns over a planned dam upstream of a city and proposed reforestation in the watershed.

This document discusses management of floods and cooperation on transboundary rivers. It notes the existence of river basin organizations and transboundary river commissions between Slovakia and its neighboring countries to address issues like hydrology, hydraulics, river regulations, environment, energy use, navigation, and flood protection. These commissions include staff from various technical backgrounds to deal with technical, administrative, and language challenges across borders. Examples of both good and bad cooperation projects on transboundary rivers are provided, including issues caused by an Austrian river modification project. The document advocates for improved cooperation through high-level technical commissions using a single language, adequate funding, and forecasting and understanding problems from all aspects of flood protection.
