New technologies like patient portals, secure messaging, and telehealth can help engage patients and enable collaboration between patients and providers. This shifts care delivery away from episodic office visits to ongoing prevention and management, especially for chronic conditions.

A Love Story-How The Search For A Solution To Infertility Led To The Birth Of...Enyinnaya Alphonsus
Kemi and her husband Bayo have been unable to have children after 6 years of marriage. Kemi longs to have a baby of her own. Her mother Maami is also diagnosed with ovarian cancer and only has 14 months to live. The story outlines how the protagonist comes up with an idea to help Kemi get pregnant by marketing a local Nigerian snack called Boli that is said to increase sexual performance and fertility. She develops a branded product called Bobo Nutty, a packaged version of roasted plantain filled with nuts, using modified atmosphere packaging to keep it hot. An elaborate marketing strategy is devised to launch the product.
The students from class 2D at Maria Mazzini Primary School in Genova, Italy went on a trip to Peralto Park to find seeds from typical trees and plants in the area to create their own "Comenius Forest". With help from their guide Chiara, a biologist, they identified and collected pine cone seeds and berries. Back at school, they planted the seeds in soil and were excited to see one of the seedlings begin to grow after a few weeks. They hope that their collected plants will continue growing to create their own small forest.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
