Community mobilization, a key strategy for increasing demand for and use of health services, is a processthat helps communities to identify their own needs and to respond to and address these needs. Gaining the participation of community members can help providers raise awareness both of health issues at the community level and of social and cultural issues that may promote or inhibit use of information and services, as well as improve clients’ understanding of the methods or
services being offered.
Benefits of Community Mobilization Drive
1. It naturally works toward primary prevention.
2. It is by definition community specific.
3. It encourages community buy-in.
Challenges of Community Mobilization
1. It requires significant initial investment of resources and relationship building.
2. Because the strategy is process oriented, it is difficult to implement effectively within highly
Prescriptive environments.
4. It is a facilitative process and not a directive process

A CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE IELTS WRITING TEST
Abstract
: Being administered at local centres throughout the world in 120 countries, IELTS is one of the most widely used large-scale ESL tests that also offers a direct writing test component. Because of its popularity and its use for making critical decisions about test takers, the present article finds it crucial to draw attention to someissues regarding assessment procedures of IELTS. Therefore, the present paper aims to provide a descriptive and critical review of the IELTS writing test by focusing particularly on various reliability issues such as single marking of papers, readabilityof prompts, comparability of writing topics, and validity issues such as the definition of the “international writing construct,” without considering variations among rhetorical conventions and genres around the world. Consequential validity-impact issues will also be discussed and suggestions will be given for the use of IELTS around the world and for future research to improve the test.
Cine planifică defectuos, planifică eşecul, spunea Winston Churchill. Orice proiect se măsoară ca succes, în comparaţie cu planul de la început de drum. Care sunt paşii de urmat în planificarea oricărui proiect sau demers pe care dorim să îl facem?
Limbajul de asamblare este o necunoscută pentru mulți dintre cei care lucrează în domeniul calculatoarelor. Fiind aproape de hardware, folosind funcționalitățile de bază ale procesorului, are o relevanță îndoielnică. Dar limbajul de asamblare este mai mult de atât. Înțelegerea limbajului de asamblare înseamnă cunoașterea intimă a funcționării sistemului de calcul. Cei mai buni piloți de curse sunt foarte buni mecanici. În același sens, experții în calculatoare, chiar profesioniști în software de aplicație, au cunoștințe bune de hardware, sisteme de operare, internele sistemelor și limbaj de asamblare. Cunoașterea limbajului de asamblare este o parte esențială pentru cultura unui profesionist în calculatoare și pentru înțelegerea modului de funcționarea a sistemelor de calcul în practică.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.
