Maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating nutritious meals, exercising regularly, staying socially and mentally active, and getting regular health checkups in order to potentially reduce the risk of dementia. Key aspects include maintaining a healthy weight, stopping smoking, limiting alcohol, controlling blood pressure and diabetes, and adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle. While there is no certain way to prevent dementia, reducing risks early is important as brain changes may start 10-20 years before symptoms appear.

This PPT gives details about diabetes, its causes, possible complications, precautions and test for diabetes. The information is certainly helpful for you to deal with this disease.
People in so-called developed contemporary societies have the opportunity to take advantage of unprecedented technological advances. However, as our life expectancy continues to rise, the quality of people’s lives is becoming an area of increased focus. It is becoming very evident that modern lifestyle choices are putting people at risk of being impacted by a number of common chronic diseases including diabetes (type II), various cardiovascular diseases, stroke and Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and even some cancers (prostrate, ovarian, skin). This cost burden associated with increased incidence of such diseases is forecasted to put an unsustainable strain on future health care services in Ireland and many other countries. There are a number of key lifestyle behaviours that, if changed, have the potential to dramatically reduce a person’s likelihood of being impacted by one of these or other chronic diseases. The proposed talk will outline the importance of diet (improved nutritional knowledge and food labelling awareness), exercise (tackling sedentary lifestyle) and stress management as being key components that could be prioritized for lifestyle behaviour change. The talk will suggest how psychology plays a role in facilitating such change.
With rising obesity rates and new lifestyle diseases being revealed each year, it's past time for us to face the facts about health problems. While the greatest cure for any disease is prevention, those who have already been diagnosed with diabetes can benefit from therapy and proper response through lifestyle modifications. Simple 10-minute diabetic care sessions go a long way toward maintaining excellent health. All we ask is that you take 10 minutes out of your day, every day, to complete these steps

Unit vi care of elderly persons m.sc ii yrsanjalatchi
Ageism is a widely prevalent and prejudicial attitude that stems from the assumption that age discrimination, and sometimes neglect and abuse of older persons is a social norm and therefore, acceptable. It is a reality in some form in all societies, and finds expression in individuals’ attitudes, institutional and policy practices, as well as media representation that devalue and exclude older persons. In 2014, Governments around the world adopted a resolution at the Economic and Social Council that recognized ageism as “the common source of, the justification for and the driving force behind age discrimination.”
One of the most common causes of death in the world is heart disease.
The good news is that early detection and appropriate treatment can frequently prevent or manage heart disease.

Dementia home care during COVID 19 (presented at AP HRDI, May 2020)Swapna Kishore
This presentation was made online on May 27, 2020, at Andhra Pradesh Human Resource Development Institute as part of their Knowledge Sharing Sessions. It starts with an overview of dementia home care and the status in India, to help appreciate challenges posed by COVID 19 in such care. It discusses aspects like how to protect someone with dementia from COVID, how to modify care due to COVID risk and also restrictions due to lockdown and such measures, , and how to manage medical support in these challenging times. As dementia care can be very stressful, it also discusses self-care and suggest some practical ways to manage such care in these times.

Digital interventions to support families living with dementia in IndiaSwapna Kishore
Explores how digital interventions can be used to support dementia in India, especially given the huge gap in support in the coverage of conventional interventions available to the over four million families coping with dementia. Given the rapid growth in ICT across India, digital interventions can reach currently unsupported families from multiple demographics. Identifies digital areas to focus on given the digital usage patterns and trends and existing dementia support gaps, Suggests possible approach and priorities, and discusses integration of digital interventions should integrate with other interventions.

This appeared as a chapter in "Dementia in India 2020" (Citation of report: Kumar CTS, Shaji KS, Varghese M, Nair MKC (Eds) Dementia in India 2020. Cochin: Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India (ARDSI), Cochin Chapter, 2019)
Navigating Support Systems for Dementia Home Care in India (ARDSICON2019)Swapna Kishore
In India bulk of dementia care happens at home and is the responsibility of family members. Additionally, dementia and care related awareness and support is very poor. Families don’t know what may be needed and where to start. They face challenges in care and also in navigating systems around them. They may not reach suitable education or guidance, or reliable services that can help. Most training and advice focus on actual dementia related care tasks, but offer very little in terms of how to achieve acceptable levels of these in the current environment.
This presentation looks at how family caregivers in India look for information and support and their experiences related to support. It looks at challenges families face given inadequate support systems. Personal stories provide insight into real life experiences of families. The presentation may help caregivers appreciate support realities and provide them ideas on what they can consider. Persons supporting caregivers (professionals, volunteers, social entrepreneurs) may get input that helps them decide where to focus their effort; this includes ways to help caregivers navigate existing systems better as well as how to prioritise creation of new interventions.
Understanding dementia diagnosis from a caregiver perspective (Ardsicon2018, ...Swapna Kishore
A dementia diagnosis can be a gateway for treatment and better care and support, but this does not always happen. In India, where only 10% of the families receive a diagnosis and this, too, happens usually later in the dementia, we need to understand diagnosis experiences better if we want to improve diagnosis-related experiences.
This presentation looks at how caregivers in India perceive dementia symptoms, obtain diagnosis, and understand and respond to the diagnosis. Experiences of several caregivers are used to understand what makes families seek medical help and look at barriers and hesitations that delay diagnosis, or delay the families from benefiting from the diagnosis. Areas where we can reconsider our dementia awareness and diagnosis approach to improve diagnosis experiences are discussed.
This presentation was made at the International Symposium on Dementia and 22nd Annual Conference of ARDSI (Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders Society of India), held at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (India) on September 14 to 16, 2018.
Under-discussed challenges of dementia home care in India (Ardsicon2017)Swapna Kishore
There are many serious challenges faced by home caregivers that are not acknowledged and discussed openly. Lack of such discussion makes many caregivers feel isolated and unsupported. General advice given may be inappropriate and insensitive, It results in unintended silences because everyone assumes these issues are rare.
This presentation was made at the International Conference on “Advances in Dementia” & “XXI National Conference of ARDSI” held on 22nd, 23rd & 24th September, 2017 at Kolkata (India). It discusses four serious areas that pose extreme challenge using dementia home care in India as the context. Data is shared to show how serious and prevalent these are, and why we should not ignore these. The purpose of the presentation is to create some recognition around these under-discussed issues in the hope that this will enable creative approaches and better support. The four areas discussed are: Financial problems; Situations where caregivers have a past history of being abused; Lack of support to understand, believe, and begin acting on a diagnosis; and Lack of explanations and support for late-stage dementia care.

Use of the Internet to spread dementia awareness and to support dementia care...Swapna Kishore
The Internet is a powerful tool to reach people. Internet usage is growing in every country, especially because of Internet on the smartphone. Unfortunately, this tool is often neglected or underutilized by volunteers and professionals working in the dementia awareness and caregiving domain. Our current methods of reaching out families affected by dementia are unable to cover many segments of society, and the Internet is a tool we cannot afford to neglect any more.
This presentation was made in the Asia Pacific Regional Conference of Alzheimer’s Disease International, held on 7-9 November, 2014, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi, India. It discusses the possibilities and limitations of using the Internet to make information available and also to support families coping with dementia. It covers topics relevant to persons considering whether and how to use the Internet. These include content creation approaches and criteria, and how to increase the reach of online resources and services. The talk also covers aspects like community building, maintenance of online material, and how online resources can complement other modalities used for awareness and support. The presentation briefly discusses how organizations can approach the project of developing online resources.

Trained attendant orientation note for dementia careSwapna Kishore
Families looking after dementia patients at home usually need to employ an attendant who will help them look after the patient. However, in India, it is very difficult to get a trained attendant who understands dementia and what its care involves. This note is a orientation note for dementia care that can be used by family caregivers who want to make sure the attendant they employ understands what to expect and how to help the patient.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
