Rich Dad, Poor Dad Introduction
Critical thinking is a valuable skill that will help you to analyse, evaluate, and understand information and ideas more effectively.
Nowadays normally people Especially Students are not able to think out of the box, think smarter not harder they need to work on the art of Critical thinking.
It’s not just about thinking harder but thinking smarter. Here, we’ll explore the art of critical thinking in a straightforward way.
Critical thinking
Critical thinking is the analysis of available facts, evidence, observations, and arguments to form a judgment. The subject is complex; several different definitions exist, which generally include the rational, skeptical, and unbiased analysis or evaluation of factual evidence.
Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics

2. OBJECTIVES
1. Discuss critical thinking and problem
solving.
2. Describe importance of critical
thinking for nurses.
3. Overview
Critical: Requiring careful judgement.
How do nurses use critical thinking in their
practice?
To problem solve & make decisions, to make
reliable observations, draw sound
conclusions, create new information & ideas,
evaluate lines of reasoning & improve their
self-knowledge.
5. Critical Thinking
Critical thinking is the rational
examination of ideas, inferences,
assumptions, principles, arguments,
conclusions, issues, statements, beliefs
& actions.

Critical thinking is
“The ability to focus your thinking to get
the results you need”
The term “Critical Thinking” is used in
many different ways.
7. Critical Thinking
The definition above provides you with
two key factors in critical thinking:
-Focus
-Results
If you focus on getting the results you
need, you are successfully using critical
thinking.
8. WHAT IS CRITICAL
THINKING IN NURSING?
Purposeful, goal-directed thinking
aiming to make judgments based on
evidence rather than guesswork.
It is based on principles of science & the
scientific method & develops strategies
that maximize human potential &
compensates for problems caused by
human nature
9. WHY IS CRITICAL THINKING
IMPORTANT TO NURSES?
1.Critical thinking is the key to resolving
problems.
2. Nurses must make complex
decisions, adapt to new situations &
continuously update their knowledge &
skills.
3. Critical thinking will be essential to
pass the NCK Exam.
10. WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THINKING &
CRITICAL THINKING?
(CONTROL)
Critical thinking is controlled, purposeful
& more likely to lead to obvious
beneficial results
Thinking is basically any mental activity;
can be aimless & uncontrolled; it may
serve a purpose, but we often aren’t
aware of its benefits; we might not even
remember our thoughts at all
11. WHAT ARE THE
CHARACTERISTICS OF
CRITICAL THINKING?
1. It is rational & reflective.
2. It involves healthy, constructive
skepticism.
3. It is autonomous.
4. It includes creative thinking.

6. It focuses on what to believe & do.
12. WHAT ARE THE CHARACTERISTICS OF
CRITICAL THINKERS?
They are:
1. Active thinkers.
2. Knowledgeable of their biases &
limitations.
3. Fair-minded.
4. Conscious
14. (Con’t)
12. Honest with themselves & others,
admitting when their thinking may be
flawed or requires more thought.
13. Organized & systematic in their
approach.
14. Flexible.
15. Cognizant of rules of logic
16. Realistic
16. DOES CRITICAL THINKING
INVOLVE CRITICAL
ANALYSIS?
YES! Critical analysis is a set of
questions one can apply to a particular
situation or idea to determine essential
information & ideas & discard
superfluous information & ideas.
17. CRITICAL THINKING &
PROBLEM SOLVING
They are sometimes used
interchangeably but are separate
processes that are related in some
situations.
Not all decisions we make involve
solving a problem; creativity is a form of
critical thinking itself.
18. WHAT IS PROBLEM
SOLVING?
Process used when
a gap is perceived
between an existing
state (what is
occurring)& a
desired state of
what should be
occurring.
Nurse obtains info.
that clarifies nature
of the problem &
suggests possible
solutions, evaluates
the solutions
19. (Con’t)
To ensure initial & continued
effectiveness
The nurse does not discard the other
solutions.
But holds them in reserve in the event
that the first solutuon is not effective.
20. WHAT IS DECISION
MAKING?
It is the process of establishing criteria
by which alternative courses of action
are developed and selected
