Business case for equality & diversity within the prison service may 2012Celia Sweeney
The document describes the unique challenges of implementing equality, diversity, and human rights policies and practices within a prison setting. It notes that prison services must balance operating fairly while detaining those who break laws, manage political and societal expectations, and support prisoners' transition from exclusion to inclusion. A strategy is proposed that reviews current practices, ensures equality impact assessments, captures relevant data, trains staff, engages partners and prisoners, and monitors progress on equality targets. The overarching goal is to create synergy between equality, diversity, human rights, and the prison service's vision and strategy.

The document provides instructions for learning how to perform a bridge kickover maneuver. It recommends spreading your legs shoulder-width apart, raising your arms overhead, and leaning back to place your hands on the floor before kicking one leg up and over your body in a split.

This document discusses an insurance fraud scheme involving collusion between an auto body shop owner and claims adjuster. The shop owner would inflate repair estimates and kick back half the profits to the adjuster. Motivations for the fraud included financial pressures and greed. Statistics show insurance fraud, including inflated repairs and staged accidents, is on the rise. Preventive actions recommended include vetting employees, oversight of claims, and educating customers on reporting suspicions.
The document discusses developing a new framework for assessing the value of IT projects beyond just financial measures. It proposes using a spectrum of value measures that include both financial and strategic/qualitative measures. A new methodology is presented that quantifies strategic impacts on metrics like customer satisfaction, competitive advantages, and strategic priorities. This would provide a more holistic view of project value for portfolio management decisions.

C212 diet to promote health, prevent diseaseAxex Dental
Here are some reflective thoughts on those questions:
- Muscle wasting can be a sign of protein malnutrition, but it can also be caused by other factors like illness, inactivity, hormonal imbalances, etc. Protein status alone does not determine muscle mass.
- In a healthy person getting adequate calories and protein in their regular diet, additional protein supplementation alone will not necessarily increase muscle mass beyond normal limits. Building muscle requires both adequate protein intake and progressive resistance exercise over time to stimulate muscle protein synthesis.
- Dietary protein is broken down into amino acids during digestion. It is then absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine. Muscle protein synthesis requires a balanced supply of all essential amino acids from dietary sources. Simply

Periodontitis among adult populations in the arab world idj12002Axex Dental
Periodontitis is an important oral health issue globally and is prevalent in many developing countries, including those in the Arab World. However, there is a lack of recent and representative data on the prevalence of periodontitis among adult populations in the Arab countries. The few existing studies report a wide range of periodontitis prevalence, from 0% to 54.6%, depending on the measurement methods and case definitions used. Standardizing data collection and reporting methods would help develop more accurate understandings of periodontitis burden and inform public health programs for the region.
