This document discusses exercise and nutrition among college students. It finds that while 48% of college students exercise once a week, many experience injuries from overtraining, lack of rest, and poor nutrition. The document recommends getting 9 hours of sleep per night to prevent injuries, and eating 5 servings of fruits and vegetables daily to build strong bones and muscles. A marketing campaign around preventing drunk driving saw high awareness of posters but lower rates of encouraging safe behaviors. Instructional videos and ensuring adequate sleep and exercise are presented as ways to improve student health and academic performance. The document proposes a campus health awareness program with a $3,654 budget covering ads, flyers, posters, and instructional videos.
This document summarizes a study on oral health perceptions and practices in a rural community in Doiwala, India. 798 participants over age 3 were surveyed using questionnaires and oral examinations across three age groups. While participants perceived their oral health as good, their actual oral health status was poor, showing a need for oral health education. Most reported brushing daily but oral examinations found otherwise. Young people were consuming more sticky foods than adults. Younger populations require more education on maintaining good oral hygiene.

This document summarizes research on developing a Patient Empowerment Pod (3P) to collect health data from patients. The 3P aimed to easily collect measures like BMI, abdominal circumference, and screen for undiagnosed diabetes. An interdisciplinary team built a prototype pod and tested it in a GP clinic. The pod collected height, weight, and other data from 89 patients. Feedback found the pod useful for highlighting health issues like weight and exercise levels. All patients said they would use the pod again on return visits to help empower them on health issues.
This project assessed medical students' knowledge of and attitudes towards palliative care after completing a placement at Hospice Africa Uganda (HAU). As part of its education program, HAU provides palliative care training to health workers, including medical students from Makerere University. The goal of student placements is to expose them to practical palliative care and the realities patients face. A survey of 59 students found that after their HAU placement, 100% agreed palliative care can improve quality of life, 91% supported early palliative care intervention, and 60% were willing to work in palliative care. The project demonstrates that clinical palliative care placements improve knowledge and attitudes towards palliative care.

The document discusses screening urinalysis in healthy children. It outlines the characteristics of effective screening programs and examines whether urinalysis meets these criteria. Specifically, urinalysis results can vary and have low reproducibility. It also has low sensitivity and specificity, identifying things in the urine without knowing the cause or significance. Additionally, early detection does not necessarily improve outcomes for most kidney diseases. As a result, the AAP no longer recommends routine urinalysis screening for asymptomatic children.

A Healthy Lifestyle Persuasive Application for Patients with Type-2 DiabetesSERAG M IMHEMED
The development, adoption and appropriation of M-health applications that transform and boost patient self management have been promising but the outcomes varied and largely a theoretical. M-health applications targeting diabetics have not only been inapplicable and inappropriate to people’s cultures, context and experiences but based on principles of prescription rather than persuasion. In this paper, we seek to fill this gap by developing and evaluating the effectiveness of a pro-diet M-health system for diabetes patients. Study participants will use the M-health application for a 6 month period in an attempt to gain awareness about their diabetes, cultivate self-care skills and improve their healthy eating habits. Drawing upon the persuasive technology theory and upon the pro-change trans-theoretical behavior model, we examine the appropriation of M-health diabetes application for self-management practice related to healthy eating and examine the biomedical outcomes resulting from healthy eating behavior.

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.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

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.
