This document discusses research on the impact of computer-mediated communication (CMC) on long-distance relationships. It examines whether CMC can help sustain relationships over geographical distances or if in-person interaction is still needed. The document reviews theories on why long-distance relationships may be more likely to fail due to less support and more uncertainty. However, some studies discussed found that CMC allows long-distance couples to engage in more self-disclosure and form stronger relationship perceptions than geographically close couples. The document provides an overview of key topics and issues in research on long-distance relationships.

'We can help us' Teen Suicide Prevention Campaign
The document summarizes an agenda for extending the "We Can Help Us" teen suicide prevention campaign. It provides an overview of campaign objectives to reduce teen suicide by helping teens cope with difficulties and offering support. Research found teens want to hear real stories from peers who have overcome struggles. The campaign aims to convince teens they are not alone by sharing such stories online and through a website. It outlines available campaign assets like posters, banners, and details national distribution of PSAs to TV, radio, print and online platforms. The document also provides suggestions for how partners can promote and support the campaign through outreach.
Gender differencesincmc
1) While early views saw CMC as gender-neutral due to anonymity, research found gender differences persist both in asynchronous and synchronous communication.
2) Studies found women tended to use more polite, aligned language while men used assertive, adversarial styles. Women were also more likely to leave hostile groups.
3) Even with anonymity, gender is revealed through linguistic styles. Pseudonyms also failed to fully hide gender over time.
4) The document discusses implications including women preferring private email over public forums, and controlled-access groups growing in popularity.
10 Strength Of Weak Ties
Granovetter proposes that weak ties, or acquaintances, are important for spreading information between groups. He defines tie strength as a combination of factors like contact frequency, emotional intensity, and reciprocity of services. Granovetter argues that strong ties tend to cluster together, but weak ties can bridge distinct groups without conflict. This allows new information to diffuse more widely through social networks. An empirical study found that people are more likely to find jobs through acquaintances than close friends, supporting the idea that weak ties provide non-redundant information from other social circles.
Designing for (Local) Community
A review of literature and technology to provide guidelines for designing online communities with an emphasis on local communities and neighborhoods.
Session 22 Power Point
This document discusses effective risk communication strategies. It notes common "traps" like providing incorrect information that leads to poor decision making. Elements of good communication include understanding the media and public perspectives. Well-known risk communication campaigns are mentioned, like the CDC's HIV/AIDS education. Failed communication can waste resources and undermine trust. People want advice, numbers, and context in risk messages. Extreme and milder criticisms of risk communication are outlined. Poor communication can negatively impact decision making and public trust in authorities. A simple strategy for effective communication is proposed.
Redefining Teen Health Communications Through Social Media Trish Eitel, Opr ...
This document discusses how social media can be used more effectively than traditional methods to communicate health messages to teens. It notes that teens strive for independence from adults and are more receptive to peer-to-peer communication channels like social media. The document advocates for using social media to directly engage teens through two-way dialogue, user-generated content, a strategic presence on social networking sites, and applications teens can share with peers. The goal is to amplify health messages among teen social networks in a way that enhances message credibility and drives behavior change.
Surfing a Web of Trust: Reputation and Reciprocity on CouchSurfing.com
The researchers analyzed the CouchSurfing network to understand reciprocity and reputation. They found that while most users have few connections, a small group is very active in hosting and surfing. Direct reciprocity occurred in 12-18% of stays, while 1/3 of active users engaged in generalized reciprocity. Vouching formed a tight web of trust, with 6.8% of users vouched and 1.8% able to vouch. Friendship degree and experience ratings best predicted whether connections were vouched. Global reputation scores were poor predictors of specific vouching behavior. The researchers question whether vouches are given too freely without truly knowing someone in person.

Social Media is not about whoever has the most fans/followers, wins. It’s not even about being the centre of attention with clever viral campaigns.
The true power of social media lies in connecting with your audience on the deepest level: making their lives richer with meaning, happiness and purpose, solving their problems and literally making them fall in love with your brand – in a true relationship of the living breathing kind.
The secret to building social capital isn’t about capturing attention, but giving the audience yours to build trust, loyalty and advocates.

The document discusses myths and truths related to risk communication. It addresses 8 common myths, such as the idea that discussing risks will unduly alarm people or that technical issues are too complex for the public. For each myth, it provides the corresponding truth, such as the fact that properly informing people does not cause undue alarm and that effective communication is needed to educate the public. It also provides tips for risk communicators, such as creating expert models, conducting interviews, drafting messages, and evaluating communication outcomes.
Beyond The News Release
The document discusses public relations tactics that can be used beyond traditional news releases. It defines public relations as establishing beneficial relationships between an organization and its stakeholders to effectively communicate messages. The document outlines PR goals, influences on organizational success, and tactics like media relations, civic engagement activities, and utilizing advisory teams. It provides examples of clients that have used these tactics and asks if the reader has any other questions.
Social Communication
Social communication refers to the sharing of information, ideas, and personal viewpoints between individuals. It can be formal in organizational settings where people discuss work-related topics, or informal where people freely share views on any subject of interest. The advantages of social communication include enjoying conversation, sharing viewpoints, learning new things, and getting fresh information by reaching a wide audience. However, disadvantages include possible debates, leakage of personal information, fraud, confusion of viewpoints, and reputation damage. Social media platforms that enable social communication include meetings, social networks, email, phone, blogs, group discussions, and get-togethers.
Social influence and political mobilization
Social media can influence political behavior through social networks. Researchers sent social or informational messages to over 60 million Facebook users before the 2010 US elections. Those who received social messages were more likely to click "I Voted" or seek polling places. Examining voting records found those who received social messages were slightly more likely to vote. Effects increased with stronger social ties - close friends had a greater influence than distant acquaintances. The study provides evidence that online political mobilization through social networks can translate into real-world voting behavior changes.
Ipr & com con
The document discusses interpersonal relationships and communication. It defines interpersonal relationships as social connections between two or more people that can range from brief to enduring. Good communication skills, competence, self-awareness and other factors are described as important for relationship success. The document also discusses communication climates, confirming and disconfirming responses, types of conflict, and strategies for resolving conflict such as negotiating solutions. It addresses formal and informal communication channels in organizations.
Methods or types of communication
The document discusses different types and methods of communication. It categorizes communication based on organizational structure, direction of information flow, and media used. Formal communication follows official channels laid out in an organization's structure, while informal "grapevine" communication occurs outside formal networks through interpersonal relationships. Some key differences between formal and informal communication are that formal is based on position and slow, while informal is faster but prone to distortion and leaks confidential information. Methods of each type are also outlined.
Call For Compassion
This document outlines a campaign called "Call for Compassion" that aims to encourage compassion for the homeless population in Washington D.C. The campaign will partner with nonprofits, create a letter writing hub for the community, address public perceptions of homelessness through "Sign for Help", and allow people to gain perspective into the homeless experience through "Street View". Research included interviews with homeless individuals and community studies. Potential drawbacks include not having a consistent target population for primary research and challenges measuring social engagement. Continued engagement on social media and letters is key for the campaign's success.
Promoting a President: Tone in Presidential Candidate Correspondence via Twitter

Week 10 lecture notes_com325
The document discusses various topics related to online relationships and social media, including how relationships form online, the role of social networking sites, online dating, and theories of relationship development online. It also addresses implicit participation online, brand journalism, and content strategies for brand journalists. The key topics covered are how anonymity online can foster relationship formation but also raise privacy and trust issues, and how social media both enables the maintenance of existing ties and the formation of new connections between potentially disparate groups.
Reproductive System
The document discusses various stages of the female reproductive system including gestation, the three trimesters of pregnancy, menopause, and ovulation. Gestation typically lasts 40 weeks and is divided into three stages: the first trimester covers weeks 1-12, the second covers weeks 13-26, and the third covers weeks 27-40. Menopause occurs when a woman's ovaries stop producing eggs and menstruation ends, bringing hot flashes and other common symptoms. An ovum is an egg in the female ovary that can be fertilized by sperm to form a zygote.

Development of the male and female genital tracts
The document discusses the development of the male and female genital tracts. It begins with an overview that the gonads arise from mesoderm and the genital ducts arise from paired mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts. The mesonephric ducts develop into male genital ducts if the SRY gene is present, while the paramesonephric ducts develop into female genital ducts if SRY is absent. It then goes into detail about the development of the testes, ovaries, and genital ducts in both sexes.
Exstrophy results for world congress
This study evaluated outcomes for patients with bladder exstrophy managed with primary repair, augmentation, or uretero-sigmoidostomy. The study included 21 primary repair patients, 18 augmentation patients, and 14 uretero-sigmoidostomy patients. Primary repair patients had poor continence and quality of life, with a 42% incontinence rate. Augmentation patients had improved outcomes, with 88% achieving average or better continence. Uretero-sigmoidostomy patients all had good quality of life and were largely continent, with 76.9% passing urine voluntarily. The study concluded that augmentation and uretero-sigmoidostomy resulted in better continence and quality of life outcomes compared to primary repair alone.
Urogenital system embryology
This document discusses urogenital system development and possible congenital anomalies. It begins by asking questions about anomalies of the kidneys, origins and anomalies of the urinary bladder and urethra, descent of the testes and possible issues, adult derivatives of mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts in males and females, and uterine anomalies. The document is written by Dr. Khaled Elmasry and provides embryological information and explanations to address each question.
Congenital malformations of female genital tract
This document discusses various congenital malformations of the female genital tract that can occur, including anomalies of the external genitalia, vagina, uterus, fallopian tubes, and ovaries. Some key malformations mentioned are imperforate hymen, transverse vaginal septum, bicornuate and septate uteri, elongated or absent fallopian tubes, and streak gonads. The causes are often genetic in origin. Clinical features may include infertility, dyspareunia, abnormal bleeding, recurrent miscarriage, and obstructed labor. Treatment depends on the specific anomaly but may involve surgical correction or resection.
Congenital malformations of genital organs
Congenital malformations of the genital organs can occur in males or females. In females, these may include Müllerian agenesis where the uterus and upper vagina are absent, bicornuate or didelphys uteri where the uterus is partially or fully duplicated, or vaginal septa from incomplete fusion of the vagina. In males, conditions include cryptorchidism where one or both testes fail to descend, hypospadias where the urethral opening is misplaced, and anorchia where testes are completely absent. Diagnosis involves medical history, exam, and imaging tests. Treatment depends on the specific condition but may include surgery or assisted reproduction.

The document discusses the embryology and development of the female genital system. It notes that the basic components include the gonads (ovaries), genital duct systems (mesonephric and paramesonephric ducts), and external genitalia. It describes the development of the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, and vagina from the undifferentiated embryonic stage through fetal development. Common abnormalities are also summarized, including anomalies of the ovaries, uterus, and vagina that can result from disruptions during development.Pelvic anatomy
The document summarizes pelvic anatomy, including:
1) The uterus is derived from mullerian ducts and has three layers. The fallopian tubes connect to the uterus and are sites of fertilization and ectopic pregnancies.
2) Ligaments like the round, broad, and cardinal ligaments provide support to the uterus and cervix. The uterosacral ligaments provide minor cervical support.
3) The ovaries are supported laterally in the pelvis by various ligaments and contain germ, stromal, and epithelial cells. The bladder is anterior to the uterus while the rectum is posterior.

23 Female Reproductive System
The male and female reproductive systems ensure sexual maturation and propagation of future generations. Both systems have gonads that produce gametes and sex hormones, becoming functional at puberty. While similarities exist, including homologous organs developing from similar tissues, differences include males continuously producing sperm after puberty versus females' relatively fixed number of ova released periodically. Fertilization typically occurs in the fallopian tubes when sperm meets an ovum.

Deception at a Distance: Long-Distance Deception and Romantic Relationships
ABSTRACT: Research on long-distance relationships has focused on how to achieve successful long-distance
relationships (LDRs), the limitations of LDRs, and the satisfaction level in long-distance relationships. Further,
deception studies have focused on the nonverbal cues of deception and the effects of deception. However, few
studies have researched the interaction of long-distance relationships and deception behaviors in romantic
relationships. This study examined how deception comes into play in long distance relationships. There were
161 participants in this study. Specifically, we looked at how uncertainty affects deception frequency as well as
gender differences. In addition, we looked at relationship length and the amount of deception as well as the
frequency of deception. Results revealed that gender highly impacts the perception of deception.
Keywords:Deception, Frequency, Gender, Long-Distance Relationships, Romantic Relationships
COM 123 Final Project
Managing a long-term romantic relationship in college can present challenges but knowing how to successfully navigate them can determine whether the relationship lasts beyond graduation. Moving away for college may create a long-distance relationship with stressors like separation, drifting apart, and questioning faithfulness. Social media can both help relationships through maintenance but also induce jealousy. Key characteristics of successful long-term college relationships include mutual respect, shared life goals, and intimacy maintained through routine everyday interactions as well as strategic affectionate messages and behaviors.
The Impact of Social Networking Sites on Adult Relationships
This document summarizes research on the impact of social networking sites on adult relationships. Early research findings were mixed, with some finding increased loneliness and others finding increased social connections. A survey of 80 Facebook users found that most felt social networking positively impacted relationships by helping them stay connected to friends near and far. However, most also reported sometimes spending more time online than offline and communicating with more people. In general, the participants felt the benefits of social networking outweighed the concerns.

Does social media enhance or hinder interpersonal relationships?
Premise 1: Social media enhances interpersonal relationships.
Premise 2: Social media hinders interpersonal relationships.
Conclusion: Social media can
enhanced
and hinder interpersonal relationships.
Social media enhances interpersonal relationships by promoting increased interaction with family and friends. It has been reported that social media allows people to feel more connected to information about their friends’ lives. Social networking provides an outlet for communication for those who are timid. Social media provides the confidence that people need to form strong interpersonal relationships. People can express themselves in ways that are appropriate with communicating with others.
Everyday
people are using social media to promote their businesses or build relationships with others. Teachers are able to use social media to collaborate with students building a stronger relationship outside the classroom. Social media serves as a platform of empowering people to support one another and connect with those who share the same interest.
Social media hinders interpersonal relationships by allowing people to post inappropriate statuses or photos that can be very discouraging. Cyber-bullying is a great example of how social media hinders interpersonal relationships. The television show Catfish is also another example of social media hindering interpersonal relationships. Social media allows people to create fake names and lives and trick people into thinking they are someone they are not. Through social media, people are not able to display verbal communication and they lack listening skills. While using social media it can be easy to interpret a situation wrongly. Communicating online hinders the development of conflict management skills and awareness of interpersonal cues.

Communication Research Paper
The document summarizes a research proposal that examines the relationship between time spent on social networking sites (SNS) and interpersonal relationships. It outlines 3 hypotheses: 1) Increased SNS use leads to increased contact with friends, 2) Increased SNS contact only leads to more face-to-face contact with friends who have moved away, and 3) Increased importance placed on SNS directly correlates to effort to stay in touch with current and old friends. A survey was administered to college students and results supported hypotheses 1 and 3 but only partially supported 2, finding increased face-to-face contact was only for friends deemed of medium importance. The study had limitations due to its narrow demographic sample.

Brahe Dissertation Defense--Informal Communities
This document summarizes Victoria Brahe's dissertation on how students in online RN-BSN programs use informal communities. The study found that students formed their own communities of practice to gain knowledge, collaborate on schoolwork, and provide socio-emotional support. Course design that incorporates opportunities for social interaction and uses convenient communication methods can help promote the formation of these informal communities. Students valued trusting relationships that provided empathy, encouragement, and shared understanding of their experiences.
The Quality Of Online Social Relationships, The
The document discusses several studies on the effects of internet use on social relationships and well-being. An initial longitudinal study found that heavier internet users became less socially involved and more lonely over time compared to lighter users. However, the study lacked a control group and follow up studies showed internet use was associated with declines in social involvement and increases in loneliness and depression. While the internet allows for social connection, online relationships may not be as close or valuable as offline relationships, and using the internet primarily for social purposes could reduce opportunities for in-person social interaction.
Critical Examination of Using Relationship Metaphor to Guide PR Research
1. The document examines the concept of "relationship identity" in public relations research and raises concerns about its accuracy and implications.
2. It notes that organization-stakeholder relationships are more instrumental than interpersonal relationships and lack co-construction of shared meaning. Stakeholder identities are also multiple and fluid.
3. Close relationships with organizations are the exception, not the rule, and an overemphasis on strong relationships could harm stakeholders by precluding recognition of problems or seeking alternative relationships. Organization-stakeholder interactions are often more accurately described as one-sided "parasocial relationships."
Social networking & adolescents
The document discusses how social networking sites (SNS) affect adolescent peer relationships. It provides background on SNS and their usage. Both benefits and drawbacks of SNS usage for adolescent relationships are presented. Benefits include supplementing offline relationships, expanding social capital, and relieving social anxiety. However, SNS can also lead to sexual victimization, cyberbullying, and lower quality communication. Overall, the author believes that for most adolescents, the benefits of SNS outweigh the cons in developing close peer relationships.
CORRELATION BETWEEN EMPATHY AND FRIENDSHIP QUALITY AMONG HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS...
In this research were used two questionnaires Empathy Formative questionnaire and Friendship Quality Scale. The aim of this study is to see the relationship between empathy and friendship quality among adolescent, to find out if there are gender differences in empathy and friendship quality, and to see if there are any differences between younger and older students on examined variables. This research was done with 65 high school students. Age of the students were 15 to 17 years old. Results show that there is a correlation between empathy and friendship quality. The results of t test show that there are not significant differences between females and males on variable empathy. Girls and boys have significant difference in friendship quality in Kosovo. There are no significant differences between older students and younger students in the level of empathy and also there are no significant differences between older students and younger students in the level of friendship quality.
Social networking & adolescents
The document analyzes how social networking sites (SNS) affect adolescent peer relationships. It discusses that while SNS allow teenagers to stay connected with friends and expand their social networks, potentially relieving social anxiety, they can also enable sexual victimization, cyberbullying and lower quality communication. The document presents arguments on both sides and ultimately concludes that the benefits of SNS for developing relationships outweigh the risks, as long as teenagers are aware of potential dangers.
Cms298 presentation
The document discusses how social media has changed modern friendship while the core concepts remain the same. While physical boundaries no longer limit connection, social media allows constant communication with friends near and far. However, it also introduces new challenges like comparing oneself to others' curated online personas. The document emphasizes educating teens about managing privacy and avoiding risks like cyberbullying in order to reap social media's benefits while minimizing its dangers.
LitReview..Final
This document summarizes research on how college students use computer-mediated communication (CMC) and how it affects interpersonal communication. It discusses two relevant theories: 1) Coordinated Management of Meaning theory, which explains how people construct meaning in social interactions, and 2) Computer Mediated Communication theory, which describes communication using computers/networks. Studies discussed found that CMC provides anonymity that can encourage harsh/offensive language online and decrease face-to-face social skills. While CMC eliminates geographical barriers, it also decreases human interaction and interpersonal communication skills.
Walther’s social information processing theory
Walther's Social Information Processing Theory proposes that even without nonverbal cues, users of computer-mediated communication (CMC) like email and instant messaging can develop strong relationships over time. The theory argues that CMC users rely on the content and timing of messages to understand each other and form impressions, rather than facial expressions and body language. Walther believes relationships formed exclusively through CMC can become as intimate as those developed in person, given enough anticipated future interaction between parties.

Confiding in Friends: A systematic review of the literature
This document summarizes a systematic review of literature on confiding in friends. It finds that while friendships can provide benefits like improved well-being, they also carry risks. Disclosing child sexual abuse is difficult and children often disclose first to peers as they get older. Peer relationships may be particularly important for vulnerable youth. Though friends can support disclosure, an inadequate response from others may still lead to mental health issues. The review concludes more research is needed on helping peer relationships and providing social support for vulnerable children.
LONG DISTANCE POWER EXCHANGE - DISCUSSION - FEBRUARY 2022.pptx
With the increasing use of email and social media long distance relationships are becoming more common. They are nonetheless very difficult to maintain - especially in a D/s dynamic. This presentation considers what is required to maintain a long-distance D/d relationship - and make it thrive. Life’s Hierarchy is the exclusive club for serious people who live or want to explore the ‘dominance and submissive lifestyle’ and its many manifestations and associated fantasies. We cater for the experienced, beginners and everything in between.
Life's Hierarchy offers all members a safe place to pursue their interests in privacy and with anonymity - in a moderated environment where respect matters. All members are expected to abide by a strict code of conduct.
Briyanna Thompson_Media multiplexity theory (1).pdf
Multiplexity Theory developed by Caroline Haythornthwaite suggests that the strength of a relationship is correlated with the number of communication channels used. Specifically, the stronger the relationship, the more media are used to communicate. Weak ties between acquaintances involve less time/emotional investment and use of few media, while strong ties like close friends use multiple media more frequently. Studies have found that moderate use of social media can satisfy relationships, but excessive use risks causing dissatisfaction. Movies and shows like Nerve, Black Mirror, and Not Okay depict scenarios exploring these concepts.
R u friends 4 real
1. Psychologists are examining how social networking and texting impact teen friendships and development. While technologies have changed some interaction ways, teens still value qualities like loyalty and trust.
2. Studies show social media allows socially anxious teens a voice and lonely adolescents make new friends online. However, excessive internet use is linked to decreased well-being, and "always performing" online may shape identities less than self-exploration.
3. The future effects of managing friendships primarily through social media and texts on teen development and adult relationships remains uncertain, as face-to-face time fosters empathy and intimacy critical for health and connection.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings.
The purpose of this webcast is to:
Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis.
Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting.
Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx
The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.
Storyboard on Acne-Innovative Learning-M. pharm. (2nd sem.) Cosmetics
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells. It typically manifests as pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, often on the face, chest, shoulders, or back. Acne can range from mild to severe and may cause emotional distress and scarring in some cases.
**Causes:**
1. **Excess Oil Production:** Hormonal changes during adolescence or certain times in adulthood can increase sebum (oil) production, leading to clogged pores.
2. **Clogged Pores:** When dead skin cells and oil block hair follicles, bacteria (usually Propionibacterium acnes) can thrive, causing inflammation and acne lesions.
3. **Hormonal Factors:** Fluctuations in hormone levels, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, pregnancy, or certain medical conditions, can contribute to acne.
4. **Genetics:** A family history of acne can increase the likelihood of developing the condition.
**Types of Acne:**
- **Whiteheads:** Closed plugged pores.
- **Blackheads:** Open plugged pores with a dark surface.
- **Papules:** Small red, tender bumps.
- **Pustules:** Pimples with pus at their tips.
- **Nodules:** Large, solid, painful lumps beneath the surface.
- **Cysts:** Painful, pus-filled lumps beneath the surface that can cause scarring.
**Treatment:**
Treatment depends on the severity and type of acne but may include:
- **Topical Treatments:** Such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids to reduce bacteria and unclog pores.
- **Oral Medications:** Antibiotics or oral contraceptives for hormonal acne.
- **Procedures:** Such as chemical peels, extraction of comedones, or light therapy for more severe cases.
**Prevention and Management:**
- **Cleanse:** Regularly wash skin with a gentle cleanser.
- **Moisturize:** Use non-comedogenic moisturizers to keep skin hydrated without clogging pores.
- **Avoid Irritants:** Such as harsh cosmetics or excessive scrubbing.
- **Sun Protection:** Use sunscreen to prevent exacerbation of acne scars and inflammation.
Acne treatment can take time, and consistency in skincare routines and treatments is crucial. Consulting a dermatologist can help tailor a treatment plan that suits individual needs and reduces the risk of scarring or long-term skin damage.

- 1. G I A N C A R L O V I T A Long Distance Relationships
- 2. Research Questions How affective is the use of CMC when there is a long distance relationship? Can relationships truly prosper through geographical distances, or is CMC not efficient enough to salvage relationships?
- 3. Acronyms and Terminology SNS: Social Networking Site CMC: Computer-mediated communication LD: Long-Distance Weak ties: responsible for the majority of the fixity and structure of social networks in society. Bridging social capital: Large network of weak ties between friends and acquaintances Bonding social capital: Relationships with close family and friends Maintained social capital: Relationships from a long-distance network, such as high school friends.
- 4. High School Separation After graduation, most friendships must part ways because colleges may introduce geographical distances. Some of these friendships may end, regardless of emotional ties in high school. High school relationships are faced with the decisions of: A) Breaking things off before leaving B) Trying to make things work together
- 5. CMC in Interpersonal Communication CMC and the Conceptualization of “Friendship” Johnson, Amy J., Becker, Jennifer A. Increased the possibility and expectations for sustaining close connections despite geographic distance. Former theories suggested that lack of face-to-face interaction would have “high maintenance costs.” Because of technology, friendships are aptly described as flexible “Highly elastic” which means that it all depends on the individual who is pursuing to continue this relationship
- 6. Long-Distance Failure Theories Individuals must invest more time and energy in long-distance friendships; Individuals cannot as easily engage in frequent talk; Individuals cannot as readily provide emotional and instrumental support.
- 7. Support Differences in the quality of social support between geographically close and long-distance friendships. Weiner, A. A total of 142 undergraduate students completed a survey which questioned the social support obtained through friendship networks.
