Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
Β
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Β
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying itβs good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation thatβs least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state theyβre comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Β
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
Β
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
Β
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan (AAA), a campaign for the rights of the homeless, since
year 2000 aims to make an impact on the status with respect to exploitation and
marginalization of the homeless people in Delhi. It developed into a model which got
replicated in other parts of the country. AAA's strength has been its participation mode of
working. A large majority of its field workers viz: community workers are the homeless who
constitute AAA's field workforce.
The aim of the initiative is to:
β’ Empower, mobilise and strengthen the capacity of the homeless so they are
able to assert their rights and live with honour and dignity.
β’ Make the citizens and Government of Delhi recognises that the homeless have
inalienable rights and that it is their responsibility to help the homeless live in
dignity.
Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan has been shouldering the responsibility of saving homeless
human lives from severe cold during winter in collaboration with Government of
NCT of Delhi and Municipal Corporation of Delhi since year 2002-03 under the
banner of 'Save the Lives Campaign'. 'Save the Lives Campaign' is one of the major
activities of Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan which is run during winter (November to
March) in collaboration with Revenue Department, Government of NCT of Delhi
every year and Municipal Corporation of Delhi. Civil Society joins this campaign in a
big way in different capacities.

nder this campaign shelters are run in tents and buildings (in addition to the
permanent shelters run in buildings) where beds and blankets are provided to
protect the shelter users from severe cold. MCD opens additional buildings to
be run as shelters for the homeless for the winter season. These places are usually
those ones which are unused govt. buildings. In addition to beds ` blankets, drinking
water, first-aid and emergency health care, special food are also made available for
the shelter users. These shelters are ensured electricity supply so that the users do not
have to spend their nights in dark.
Preparing for the winter
The process of the 'Save the Lives Campaign 2008-2009' began with a survey by
AAA to identify unused government buildings for temporary shelters and locations for
pitching up tents. It was almost the same as that of the last year. Delhi's landscape is
under massive transition in the light of coming Common Wealth Games 2010. At
some places, the sites had to be changed.
This year, AAA's focus was on the central concentration zones of homeless population.
The details were provided to the MCD and revenue department respectively. MCD on
its own identified some new buildings for use during winters as night shelters.
Subsequently, a meeting was convened under the Chairpersonship of Secretary
(Revenue)/Divisional Commissioner, Govt. of NCT of Delhi on 27.11.2009 at 11.30
a.m. in the chamber of the Secretary (Revenue), Delhi at 5-Shamnath Marg, Delhi to
discuss the issues relating to opening of temporary night shelters for the homeless in
Delhi. NDPL and BSES, Department of social welfare, all commissioners of each
district and some NGOs were present in the meeting. It was decided that the tents
would open in phases starting from the most concentration areas. More tents would
be added up if need arise. AAA volunteered to take up the tents in the areas where it
has been running other regular shelters and also temporary ones during the past
years. Subsequent to this , a number of meetings were held from time to time, at the
office of the Secretary (Revenue), Delhi and MCD to discuss other issues (like water
proofing, thick mattresses and need for blankets etc.) relating to temporary shelters.
Roles and responsibilities
Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD): The additional buildings were opened on
1st. December, 2009. MCD handed over these buildings to AAA for the winter period
December, 2009 to March, 2010. MCD arranged free electricity and water connection
in these buildings.
Delhi Government, Revenue Department: On 4th December, 2009, Divisional
Commissioner's office started pitching up tents at the proposed sites. NDPL and BSES
provided electricity connection with electricity meters.

5. Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan
Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan (AAA): AAA
took over the possession of buildings and the
tents and immediately provided a care taker
for management of the shelter. The caretakers
were selected through a process of interviews,
group discussion and references and feedback
on his/her record of volunteering with AAA.
For women shelters, women caretakers were A Briefing session in progress
Volunteers
preparing for selected from homeless population. The
the winter selected volunteers were provided with training on management aspects of the
shelters, providing first aid, handling any emergency /crisis situation and
record keeping of stocks and maintaining entry register of shelter users.
Adequate number of blankets, first aid boxes was arranged and food
grains by AAA and updated from time to time. The night out team was
there in the field for the entire night visiting every shelter to oversee the
shelter management and help the caretaker in case of any difficulty or
need. AAA office was central control office on 24x7 bases with one field
level control office at old Delhi.
Civil Society
Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan has 78 partner organizations both govt. and non-govt.
organizations and many more concerned citizens working for the common goals to
provide a dignified space to the homeless in this city. Like every winter, all our long
time partners, individual friends of AAA started their campaign before the onset of
winter for mobilizing woolens, clothes, blankets, food grains etc. for the homeless.
Media fraternity supported the campaign in its own way which helped the work
getting highlighted in the outside world.
Our long time partner βShree Dwarkadheesh Dharmik Sewa Smiti, who has always
been the solid support to AAA by arranging as many numbers of blankets as AAA
needs on returnable basis. This winter they again provided thousand blankets on
returnable basis. This time judiciary too, acted on
its own by taking up the issue of death of a Volunteers taking clothes for
distribution among the homeless

Food distribution
AAA runs a common kitchen at one of the shelters wherein it provides meals to the
patients discharged from the hospitals & are undergoing treatment and to the children.
Till they recoup with their health, they are provided with hot three time's meals. This
kitchen fed 3822 persons during four months of winter. In addition to these people,
hospitalized patients were also provided with additional nutrition.
Gur and Chana Distribution
'Volunteer with Chana' 'Inside shelters people having *Gur and

Since it was not feasible for AAA to reach out to all shelters Gur and Chana was
distributed among the shelter users. At 28 tents, 10,000 homeless were provided
with Gur and Chana. Out of these tents, 6 tents were managed by other NGO. The
night out team distributed gur and chana to about 8000 shelter users in Building
shelters.
Campaign for woolens and

Developments
AAA has an experience of leading this campaign for years together. The tents are
erected in open parks, side passages etc. There are a number of landowning agencies
in Delhi. Thus, the entire work of winter requires proper coordination among all the
departments and bodies of the government.
CASE STUDY 1
At Pusa Road,
There are about 100 families migrated from Karnataka about 40 years ago living around
Pusa road. They are engaged in petty jobs like balloon selling etc. Due to construction work
all around and then metro rail passing by that side, they kept being displaced from place to
place, For the last few year they have been living in open inside this roundabout
surrounded from all sides by a fast moving traffic. AAA had been working with these
families for the last six years. For the last three years, with AAA's efforts, tents used to be
erected in the same roundabout to save these people from cold weather. AAA's volunteers
from the community used to manage these tents
AAA at the site-pusa road AAA arguing with MCD officials for not
removing the tent with the people
This winter again, the tent was erected in first week of December, 2009 and was in
operation for about a week's time. So, the shelter in tent was a boon to them in this chilly
weather. All of a sudden, the concerned govt. official from MCD objected to this tent inside
the roundabout as he did not have any communication from his department about this tent.
AAA explained to the DC about this initiative by the State and asked him to give some

The temporary shelters not only provided a roof to the homeless
but also provided a shelter to the stranded travelers from Assam.
Police arrived at Pusa road Condolence meeting at
Pusa Gole Chakkar at Bhima's death
grace period to find out an alternate site for the tent so that no one dies in cold. Even the
hot arguments and AAA's resistance did not stop the Official to remove the tent. On 23rd.
December,2010, the tent was brought down with the help of police and other MCD
officials. AAA team immediately got engaged in finding out alternate site nearby. Few
locations identified near that area were rejected by the people. They did not want to move
to those places. Finally within one week's time, an alternate site (Ratanpuri) nearest to the
previous site was identified and the people agreed to this site. AAA's immediate focus was
to save people from the cold. AAA reported to the Revenue secretary office about this
location and on 3rd. January,2010, two tents were erected at that place, one for women
and for women and children.
Morning of the 1st. January, 2010, brought the news of death of a young man 'Bhima'
from the families while sleeping outside. There was much furor and the MCD was taken to
task by the High Court by taking suo-motto notice of the incident. Though this man never
used to sleep inside the tent when it was operational, still it was unfortunate. Within one
week's time approximately, two more tents were pitched in the gole chakkar.
With this incident the community became rigid and demanded for a tent inside the same
roundabout and not to move to the Ratnapuri chowk tent β the alternate site. Still, AAA
tried to persuade some people to move to Ratnapuri chowk tent and not shiver in the open
in the cold and avoid any more death. Some people moved to the new tent leaving behind
one group.Though after some time-----, tent was erected in the same park again at the
order of the High Court.

CASE STUDY 2
On 26th. December, 2009, Sh.Rajeev Kumar, SDM (HQ), Revenue Department,
Government of Delhi and Mr. M.C. Sharma, Dyp. Director of Social Defence department
of social welfare and Sanjay Kumar of Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan on a night out for
insuring the best possible facilities for the homeless of Delhi. Around 9.30 p.m. Mr.
Rajeev Kumar noticed a lady weeping near one of the tents. Upon being asked, she
hesitatingly narrated her story. She along with her husband, twelve year old son and
one more relative were en-route to Sonipat for some employment there. At old Delhi
railway station, their all belongings, cash got stolen. Their all contacts saved in the
mobile were lost in the mobile. The entire family was stranded with no money, no
contact number in a new unknown city. The lady told that, 'Some one at Railway
station told us to go to Jamuna Bazar tent where we can sleep and feel safe. That is
the reason we are here'.
The SDM, (HQ) immediately gave some Rs. 200 for food to the family. AAA's volunteer
Mr.Praveen Kumar took them to a shelter at Jama Masjid and provided food, medicine
to the sick child. The lady stayed at the women shelter being managed by AAA. The
others stayed in men's section. AAA's volunteer provided meals to the entire family.
On 27th December 09, evening, AAA volunteers brought the family to another shelter
located at Fatehpuri near old Delhi Railways station where other team members of AAA
had taken rail tickets to send them back. When that family reached at the shelter, the
lady and the child were seemingly upset and scared because the family had gone
through the experience of homeless life in an unknown city. Family was realizing the
pain of the losing home but she was thanking GOD that they found AAA. The child
was complaining of acute stomach pain. After taking medicine and hot fresh meal at
our kitchen the child felt okay. AAA arranged one night stay at Gurudwara Shishganj
Saheb, dharamshala at chandni chowk. The family was relieved to a great extent.
On 28th of December AAA arranged their railway ticket to their home, gave three time
meals home cooked meals for the journey , two blankets each ,woolen clothes , packed
food , four tickets and five hundred rupees in cash for further journey from Darjeeling
to their hometown. AAA volunteers remained with the family at the railways station till
the train started. The family has hopefully reached their home and got saved from
being homeless. After reaching hometown all the family members called up many a
times and thanked AAA for the efforts. Family consisted of Ms. Puja (34), Vijay (39),
Ashish (12), and Bahadur (28).

Other Activities
During winters, though AAA's focus shifts towards saving people's lives from cold
weather, its other regular programmes like community health outreach services, food
for the sick and children, education programme for children; free legal aid at beggars
court as well as at Appellate court continued with the same pace.Some shelters serve
as a half way homes for the patients who are under long term treatment but don't
need hospitalization.
The activities are explained as:
1. Community Health Outreach Services
AAA's existing community health outreach service acts a boulder to the additional
demand during winters. During the Save the Lives Campaign 2008-2009 Aashray
Adhikar Abhiyan also reached out to 2966 people through its various health
initiatives. The details of cases handled by various health initiatives of Aashray
Adhikar Abhiyan during the campaign are shown below:

2. Organising and Mobilising the Homeless
All the homeless do not use shelter due to various factors. To reach out to the
unreached, AAA's specially trained team reaches out to those who sleep on the streets
at their convenient time. This team adopts more than 20 ways involving them into
this campaign. Through all the activities thus, AAA reaches out to 20,765 persons.

3. Legal Aid At The Beggar-Court And Appellate Court
(Since 2001)
AAA's law research and advocacy unit has been working consistently on studying and
analyzing the anti poor laws being practiced against the homeless and urban poor.
The homeless and the urban poor being socially excluded fall easy prey to such laws.
Bombay Prevention of Begging Act, 1959 (BPBA) is one of such laws upon which
AAA has been working continuously since 2001. AAA has been providing free legal
aid to the people arrested under this law and unable to pay fee to advocate for their
defence both at beggar court and appellate court. People arrested under the Act who
are capable of paying the Advocate fee do not approach AAA.
During the period from December, 2009 to March 2010, AAA provided free legal aid
to 210 homeless and poor arrested under the Bombay Prevention of Begging Act,
1959 at Beggar-Court. Out of these, 135 accused persons were released after due
admonition on furnishing personal bond, 5 accused persons were ordered by the court
to be released after due admonition on furnishing personal bond and surety bond (in
the absence of any one to come forward to stand surety for them, they do not come
out of detention), 70 accused persons were ordered to be detained in certified
institutions (incidentally, most of these 70 persons were patients suffering from
leprosy). These leprosy patients were sent to certified institution at Tahirpur, Delhi and
the remaining were sent to certified institution at Lampur and Nirmal Chhaya.
AAA provides legal aid to those who are sent to certified institution after being
convicted under the said law. During these four months of winters, AAA filed 29
appeals at the appellate court (Sessions court). Out of these 29 appeals, 24 were
allowed meaning the convicts got released; 5 cases are pending in different courts.

It is important to note that the number of people being provided legal aid keeps
varying from time to time. The variance depends upon various factors like frequency
And intensity of arrests and raids.
5. Trainings
Trainings and development helps inincreasing job knowledge and skills of team at
each level. It helps to expand the horizons of human intellect and an overall
personality of the volunteers.
Such on the job trainings constitute an important component of AAA's work. During
winter period a number of trainings were conducted for capacity building of volunteers
associated with winter work. Some of these trainings were : Trainings on Legal
Awareness; Awareness about rights of the homeless and volunteerism; Child rights and
protection; Developing leadership skills; Understanding mental health issues among
homeless; Yoga practice; Gender equity and Development.
6. VOLUNTEERS
About 120 homeless volunteers and six core team members worked 24x7 braving the
chilling cold to save the homeless from cold and to achieve the above mentioned
reach out. The volunteers remained on the streets day in and day out to ensure that
the chilling cold could not claim any vulnerable life.

17. Aashray Adhikar Abhiyan (Campaign for the rights of the Homeless)
The most important aspect of the campaign was that the entire campaign was
managed by the homeless volunteers groomed by AAA over a period of time. It is
becaue of the utmost commitment and sincerity of the entire team of AAA who
sacrificed their sleep and cosy comforts of beds in the chilly nights, went without
meals at many times, got sick due to overwork and stress but went relentlessly to
provide comfort to their brethren in need and thus AAA could succeed in achieving
such a commendable reach out in collaboration with Delhi Government and MCD,
Slum & JJ Wing.
Celebration Time: This year is marked as a 'Beghar Muskan Varsh' by the homeless.
AAA believes in an environment of a family for the homeless. Within this family, the
homeless irrespective of caste and creed celebrate festivals of all religions together. On
December 25th, 2009, AAA celebrated Christmas at Delhi Gate, park near a
temporary shelter. Hon'ble Minister of Social Welfare and Labour, Mr. Mangat Ram
Singhal graced the occasion with his presence. Leecy, a homeless lady and cancer
survivor celebrated her birthday the same evening. Clothes and sweets were
distributed among all present. The people enjoyed music and dance programme.
Community band from Pusa Road played their band. It was a night with lights evening
which showed the brighter side of the otherwise gloomy life of the homeless.
Acknowledgements
The entire winter work was carried out by AAA in complete coordination with both
MCD and Divisional Commissioner's office. To oversee the work and to support to the
campaign, Delhi Chief Minister, Minister, Social Welfare and Labour; Minister of Health
and Commissioner, MCD and Chairman, MCD standing Committee Chairperson visited
AAA's shelters personally. AAA is grateful to all its partner organizations, media,
