This document summarizes the results of a simulation study that compared the ability of lifeguards and "patrol support" personnel to detect simulated drowning victims. The study found that while both groups' detection times improved after additional training, patrol support personnel were initially slower to detect drowning behaviors than traditionally trained lifeguards. Factors like age, sleep deprivation, and humidity/temperature were also found to impact detection times. Based on these results, the researchers question whether non-swimmers could effectively be used for surveillance duties to support lifeguards, and they plan to conduct further workplace studies on this topic.

Drowning Prevention: A Contemporary Health Issue That Impacts Everyone
Drowning prevention is something we all need to know more about. When you are in near or on the water you should be aware of the dangers that water represents and how you can stay safe and keep your family and friends safe. Learn to swim. Teach your children to swim early. Wear USCG approved life jackets. Follow the Safer Three: Safer Water, Safer Kids, Safer Response. Respect the awesome power of water.
Drowning
This document discusses drowning, providing definitions and discussing epidemiology, pathophysiology, management, and related topics. It notes that drowning is the process of experiencing respiratory impairment from submersion or immersion in liquid. The highest drowning death rates are seen in children aged 1-4 and 15-19, with common locations being bathtubs, pools, and natural water reservoirs. Progressive hypoxia and hypothermia can occur, affecting multiple organ systems. Management focuses on rapid oxygenation, ventilation, and circulation in the pre-hospital setting, followed by careful monitoring of cardiopulmonary and neurological status in the hospital.
Near drowning
1. Drowning is defined as respiratory impairment from submersion in a liquid medium and is a major cause of accidental death, especially in children ages 1-14.
2. Management of drowning victims involves resuscitation, treatment of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and prevention of complications.
3. Prevention strategies focus on supervision during water activities, swimming lessons, CPR training, and safety measures around pools.

The document summarizes research from the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School in Singapore on the relationship between sleep duration and brain aging. The research studied 66 elderly Chinese adults and found that those who reported sleeping less each night showed signs of faster cognitive decline and brain deterioration. However, the sample size was small and only represented Chinese adults, so the conclusions have limited generalizability to other populations. Key elements missing from the research were a more representative population sample and more careful interpretation of the results.

The Relationship Between Body Image And The Media
Here are the key points I would highlight in an essay on this topic:
- The genetic revolution, specifically cloning, raised significant ethical concerns about interfering with nature and the sanctity of life. It challenged long-held views about what constitutes a "natural" birth.
- Cloning blurs the lines between animal and human life, raising questions about where to draw the line with genetic experimentation. Some fear a "slippery slope" towards human cloning if not regulated.
- There are also concerns that cloning could be used for eugenics or genetic enhancement of humans, allowing some to have "designer babies" with chosen traits while others do not. This raises issues of equality, ethics, and playing God.

Mann core study
This study analyzed videotaped police interviews of 16 suspects to determine if there are detectable behavioral differences between lies and truths. The independent variable was whether the suspect was lying or telling the truth, and the dependent variable was behaviors like gaze aversion, blinking, and hand movements. The results found no significant differences in most behaviors, but suspects paused longer and blinked less when lying, possibly due to increased cognitive load. However, as cognitive load was not directly measured, these conclusions are speculative.

An Evaluation of Remote Viewing, Research and Applications air1995.pdf
This document provides an executive summary of a program review conducted by the American Institutes for Research (AIR) that evaluated the research and operational use of remote viewing within the intelligence community. The review consisted of evaluating past laboratory research on remote viewing and interviews with those involved in intelligence gathering operations using remote viewing. The review concluded that while statistically significant effects were observed in laboratory research, it was unclear if this was due to paranormal ability. Additionally, the conditions required to produce effects in the lab did not apply to intelligence gathering operations. Remote viewing reports provided vague and ambiguous information that was not useful for actionable intelligence. The program review recommended discontinuing the use of remote viewing for intelligence gathering.
Coast Safe And ACPSG
The document discusses the Australian Coastal Public Safety Guidelines, which provide recommendations for coastal managers and operators to improve public safety. The guidelines cover 9 sections on topics like signage, beach operations, emergency management, and tourism safety.

3) Safety cameras provide online footage of beaches to monitor inshore waves, rip currents, and crowds to help predict risks and identify people in distress.
Integrated Approach To Beach Lifeguarding And Lifeboating
The Royal National Lifeboat Institution (RNLI) integrated beach lifeguarding into its existing sea rescue operations to provide a more comprehensive coastal safety service. The RNLI launched a beach lifeguard pilot program in 2001 and now operates lifeguards on over 100 beaches nationwide. This integrated approach has benefited both services by sharing resources, training, and best practices. Challenges remain in further expanding the integrated lifeguard program while maintaining the RNLI's volunteer-based model.
Main Skills For Lifesaving
Dr. Detlev Mohr discusses the importance of training lifesaving skills through both practical exercises and competitions. He analyzes different water environments and the specific skills required to perform rescues in each one. Mohr also compares lifesaving skills to the events in international lifesaving competitions, noting some discrepancies. He argues that competition rules should be updated to better simulate real rescue situations and support the full range of skills needed in lifesaving practice.
Risk Assessment Model
The document discusses the development of a beach risk assessment model for application in the UK. It aims to understand beach hazards and what organizations like the RNLI and University of Plymouth are doing to reduce drownings. Key points of a risk assessment include natural/artificial hazards, hazard severity, use levels, and development. The RNLI wants the government to clarify safety responsibilities and encourage formal risk assessments and reasonable safety measures. They are working with Plymouth University to modify an assessment program and develop risk calculation tools to provide basic risk ratings. The goal is to treat risks through education, signage, and guidelines to identify responsibility and safety levels.

Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Detection Of Drowning Victims
- 1. Detection of drowning victims- the foundation for SENTINEL A simulation study of surveillance efficacy- Summary of results Billy Doyle MS ,PG DipHsc, BHSc, EMT-P
- 3. ‘ wet chain of survival’
- 6. “ What do you think about ‘patrol support’ personnel conducting surveillance?- -could you do a study to see if this is safe? ”
- 9. 16
- 16. Pia C.D.C Griffiths Fenner Ellis
- 17. Problem statement We really don't know how effective people are at detecting drowning behaviour.
- 23. Drowning behaviour is complex … but predictable along a continuum [Its] detection is the function of cognition and like all aspects of human performance, is prone to error .
- 24. Research Question How would you measure the efficacy of detecting drowning behaviour?
- 29. Results - age
- 30. Sleep
- 32. Time to detect drowning behaviour- Pre-training comparison
- 33. Time to detect drowning behaviour- Post-training comparison
- 36. This raises the question……. Should we use non-swimmers in the role of surveillance in support of our current lifeguarding practices ?
