Social Media in the UK Public Sector
The document discusses the opportunities and challenges of using social media in UK public sector organizations. It notes that local councils face budget reductions of 20-30% and increasing pressure from the public to deliver more with less. Social media can help improve communication, knowledge sharing, democratic participation, and community building, but challenges include ensuring relevance, managing reputational risks, addressing digital inclusion, and navigating organizational culture change. Successful public sector organizations will need to transform and adapt to these new tools and opportunities.

Access to the Irish countryside: permissive access and partnership approaches
Access to the Irish countryside: permissive access and partnership approachesCountryside and Community Research Institute
This document summarizes a PhD candidate's research on access to the countryside in Ireland. The candidate is investigating recreational access issues due to limited public rights of way and the lack of a right to roam. The research involves qualitative interviews and case studies of two partnership projects that have negotiated access to land through local agreements between community groups and landowners. The conceptual framework analyzes concepts of private property, common pool resources, social capital, and partnerships.OP 637471Tao Vietnam.pptx
This document summarizes Red Cross interventions in Vietnam to address natural hazards related to climate change such as typhoons and coastal erosion. It describes how the Red Cross has planted mangroves and protection trees, built community disaster management capacity, raised public awareness, and protected sea dykes. These efforts have helped protect over 7km of sea dykes and 15,000 people, increased annual GDP by $11.4 million, and generated income through eco-tourism. Lessons learned include the need for long-term engagement, participatory approaches, integrated structural measures, and ongoing capacity building.
Green Jobs Alliance
The Nonprofit Partnership was formed in 2008 in response to the Green Jobs Act of 2007 to provide education, training, job placement, and career development for green jobs. It has brought together a coalition of labor, industry, education, and environmental groups. The partnership aims to train unemployed, underemployed, veterans, and at-risk youth for green jobs in areas like renewable energy, energy efficiency, and smart grid technologies. It has applied for federal grants totaling $19 million and is working with partners like Virginia Tech to develop green job training programs while seeking ongoing funding.
Region 4 Presentation
The document discusses unique events being held in Region 4. It proposes combining an ethics competition and leadership workshop with a paper contest and technical meeting called the Electro-information Technology Conference. Attendees of the combined events would benefit from more networking opportunities and lower costs. The paper contest would allow students to see a professional conference and meet professional members, while conference attendees could see potential future leaders. Example activities from different universities in the region are provided, such as back pack lighting, job fairs, egg lighting, engineering trivia competitions, and electric vehicle movies.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
