This document provides an overview of consolidation in soils, including definitions, factors that cause consolidation, types of clays, coefficients used to describe consolidation, Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation theory, determining preconsolidation pressure from e-logσ' curves, calculating consolidation settlement, and determining the coefficient of consolidation from laboratory tests. Consolidation is defined as a process where saturated soil decreases in volume by expelling water. Normally consolidated and overconsolidated clays are described. The key equations of Terzaghi's theory and how to apply it are summarized.

Hepatitis C is a major global public health problem, infecting around 180 million people worldwide. It is a leading cause of liver disease and liver transplants. The hepatitis C virus is a RNA virus that primarily infects liver cells. Around 70-85% of infections become chronic, and 20-40% of chronic infections can lead to severe liver disease like cirrhosis or liver cancer over time. The most common modes of transmission are through blood exposure, though sexual transmission risk is low. There is no vaccine, but effective antiviral treatment exists.
This document provides guidelines from the WHO on chronic hepatitis C infection from April 2016. It discusses the global burden of HCV, noting over 700,000 deaths per year. New direct-acting antiviral medications have transformed HCV treatment, enabling shorter, oral regimens with over 90% cure rates and fewer side effects. The guidelines recommend screening high-risk populations and using RNA testing to confirm chronic infection before treatment. They provide guidance on clinical assessment, noting the importance of staging liver fibrosis/cirrhosis and assessing severity. Successful treatment results in reduced liver inflammation and fibrosis regression, lowering risks of liver cancer and transplant.

3. Understanding the CCR landscape across U.S. School Districts
CCR and Eligibility Health Check
To better inform discussions and planning efforts for College and Career Readiness. With a direct focus on how
to best utilize data to shape culture and drive student success.
Purpose
Desired Outcomes
It is our hope that the information found in this report can help bring insight into ways that district leadership
can help improve processes around College and Career Readiness. In particular, we hope that what is provided
in the report will allow you to return to your teams and help shape a framework for improving desired
outcomes related to College and Career Readiness.
4. Executive Summary:
As we look to better understand how College and Career Readiness (CCR) is evolving with
school districts across the country and how they continue to make an impact on readiness,
it is important to determine the current state of the various CCR initiatives from a level
priority, measurement and effectiveness perspective. While a CCR success framework
might look different by district, this survey was developed in an effort to gain insight into
where the gaps lie and opportunities where additional guidance could be provided to drive
greater impact to student readiness.
The questions asked are further outlined in the report; however, the basis behind them
were to understand the level of priority, effectiveness, desire to improve measurement of
these key initiatives.
Of those surveyed, the initiatives that received a weighting of highest priority were:
provide data to counselors to help prioritize support (100%), improve the number of
students enrolling in post-secondary education (92%), improve access to crucial data
metrics (92%) and reporting and to cultivate a culture of hope and aspirations (92%).
The lowest weighted initiatives by priority were: Increase soft and non-cognitive skill
development (42%), increase scholarship awards (50%), Increase SAT/ACT scores (58%) and
activate PBIS activities wall-to-wall (58%).
The largest gaps seen based on the level of priority and the lower percentage given to the
effectiveness of the initiatives were: improve the number of students enrolling in post-
secondary education and cultivating a culture of hope and aspirations. While there could
be many driving factors influencing this outcome, further assessment if these gaps is
needed to understand the impact
The initiatives with the largest gap relating to awareness around priority, measurement or
desire to improve were scholarships, parent engagement and soft skill and non-cognitive
skill development.
The findings of the survey present a great opportunity for discussion to determine why
some initiatives are receiving greater priority than others, if there are any addressable gaps
and how districts can continue to implement strategies to improve the impact of all CCR
related initiatives.

Insight and Learnings
Considerations:
• What are your priorities related to CCR?
• Where do you feel there are areas for improvement?
• What do you know and, what don’t you know?
Insight and Future Learnings:
• There are initiatives of high priority but are underperforming within the district
• Why is this?
• What strategies can you deploy to drive improvements?
• There are initiatives of low priority but also lack awareness
• Why is this?
• Would it be a priority if more awareness was placed around the initiative?
• Should some of these initiatives have higher priority?
• Where have you spent most of your time on CCR related initiatives? Do you have data to inform you
whether or not you are pointed in the right direction?
