This presentation gives information on the pharmacology of Prostaglandins, Thromboxanes and Leukotrienes i.e. Eicosanoids. Eicosanoids are signaling molecules derived from polyunsaturated fatty acids like arachidonic acid. They are involved in complex control over inflammation, immunity, and the central nervous system. Eicosanoids are synthesized through the enzymatic oxidation of fatty acids by cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase enzymes. They have short half-lives and act locally through autocrine and paracrine signaling.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
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.

Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts

In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

From educating themselves on local laws to volunteering at national organizations, individuals working to advance the rights of people with disabilities use many of the same tactics other activists use to promote their own causes. Let's take a look at some of those tactics and how disability rights advocates are using them to help create more inclusive societies around the globe. Photo: Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, left, addresses a rally for Disability Day at the State Capitol on February 24, 2011, in Atlanta.

The first step to getting involved is learning. Educate yourself about your community's policies toward people with disabilities. Research the organizations that promote the rights of people with disabilities in your area. Find the people who share your commitment to advancing the rights of people with disabilities. This research provides the foundation for whatever movement you hope to build. Photo: Young man researches the Internet on his computer. (Shutterstock/Peppi18)
Part of research is identifying those who share your passion. These individuals and organizations provide a source of knowledge, support and inspiration. They also represent your network. The Disability Rights Fund (DRF) a collaborative project between donors and the disability community uses the power of its network to advance the U.N. Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD) at national and local levels. The DRF raises funds from individuals interested in maximizing their impact; packages those funds into grants; and awards those grants to organizations operated by people with disabilities. The DRF network has supported Disabled Persons Organizations (DPOs) in 26 countries ranging from Bangladesh and Uganda to Ukraine and Nicaragua. Diana Samarasan, DRF's executive director, hopes to expand the organization's network by encouraging the creation of other grant-making organizations dedicated to DPOs. "Just as gender has been mainstreamed into most human rights and development organizations, disability must also be mainstreamed," Samarasan said. "We are talking about 1 billion people – one in every seven human beings – and if you count families, 2 billion people who are affected on a daily basis by the ignorance, stigma and discrimination that surrounds disability." Inspired by working in institutions housing people with intellectual and psychological disabilities in Eastern Europe, Samarasan has spent more than 15 years advancing the rights of people with disabilities. She has directed the Mental Disability Advocacy Center, an organization in Budapest, Hungary, that litigates abuses of the rights of persons with mental disabilities; and has worked with the American Refugee Committee and Doctors of the World to address the issues of vulnerable populations. Photo: A Disabilities Rights Fund program officer shares conversation with women with disabilities in Amazon, Peru. (Disabilities Rights Fund)
A great way to expand your network is to volunteer. Whether you are giving an hour of your time or months of your time, volunteering enables you to meet new people and learn about new opportunities. Amy Doherty earned her position as 2008 chair of the U.S. National Council on Disability (NCD) Youth Advisory Committee after interning for the NCD. Through her position, Doherty was able to advocate for policies that included the needs of young people with disabilities. Doherty, a research assistant at Schepens Eye Research Institute , now works to develop devices for people with vision impairments, but she still devotes her free time to new volunteer opportunities such as the National Youth Leadership Network (NYLN). NYLN, an organization that seeks to build power among young people with disabilities and the only youth-led disability rights organization in the United States, is a natural fit for Doherty. "I have always had a passion for working with people and supporting others to reach their goals," Doherty said. As vice president of NYLN's governing board and the former chair of NCD's Youth Advisory committee, Doherty has developed friendships that make her feel connected to and part of the disability community. "I have learned so much and met many incredible people through my work with NYLN and National Council on Disability Youth Advisory Committee," Doherty said. "I am a stronger leader and advocate for it.“ Photo: 17-year-old Max Aguirre, right, water skis behind a Texas Adaptive Aquatics boat with help from volunteer Austin Smith during the 21st annual Adaptive Water Sports Festival for Individuals with Special Needs on September 10, 2011, in Galveston, Texas.The free event hosted by Hope Therapy allowed dozens of participants with physical and intellectual disabilities to water ski, kayak, sail and get active in the water.

Working with a team toward a common goal is at the heart of partnerships and of sports. A legacy of the 1996 Paralympic Games, BlazeSports is a nonprofit organization that empowers people with physical disabilities through sports. Recognizing the unique ability of sports to foster shared experiences and break down stereotypes, BlazeSports uses sports not only to develop individual character and promote a healthy lifestyle but also to increase mutual understanding and civic engagement. For more than a decade BlazeSports has led international sports development projects from two-day leadership seminars for South Africans to disability sport workshops and training sessions in Jordan. "By cultivating local, state, national and international strategic partnerships with like-minded organizations, BlazeSports is advancing the equality, visibility and human rights of people with physical disabilities through sport.“ Ann Cody, the director of policy and global outreach for BlazeSports and three-time U.S. Paralympian, harnesses the organization's international partnerships to advance the rights of people with disabilities. Cody was instrumental in pressing the International Paralympic Committee (IPC), a partner organization, to establish a policy that increases the participation of women and girls in sports. As the organization's website states, "women and girls with and without disabilities who participate in sport are healthier and more empowered, and their participation in sport promotes inclusion in larger society.“ Illustrating the power of partnerships, Cody won her gold medal as one of four women on the U.S. 4 x 100 meter relay team in 1992.

Sometimes, the organizations, networks and partners your community needs don't yet exist. Donald Washington, an autistic individual from Massachusetts, found that his community needed greater autism awareness. " We need to speak up and speak out about what we want," Washington said. To bring attention to autism, Washington created the Missing Pieces Project , a collection of pictures of those affected by autism that are shaped into a large jigsaw puzzle. Washington hopes his initiative will inspire others to advocate for the full inclusion and equal rights of people with disabilities. "Figure out what problems are there and then come up with solutions that can be used to create your own movement," Washington said. When he's not working on the Missing Pieces Project, Washington works as an image service representative at Brigham and Women's Hospital, volunteers with the Massachusetts Developmental Disabilities Council and serves on the National Youth Leadership Network's governing board.

Another NYLN governing board member used existing groups to advocate for the rights of people with disabilities. Kevin Fritz joined organizations at his college, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, that were not dedicated to the rights of people with disabilities. By doing so, Fritz was able to make records, break stereotypes and introduce a whole new segment of the population to disability advocacy. "I was the first person and the only person with a physical disability to ever be a [student] senator and chairman of the [student] senate," explained Fritz, who was also director of the Illinois Student Programming Board and president of the Delta Sigma Omicron fraternity. "What I really did was bring other people on board to try to change some disability issues.“ For the first time, Fritz met people who did not have a disability but were passionate about disability rights. Together, they advocated for change. "One of my biggest accomplishments was having automatic door openers installed on several restaurants on the main street on campus," Fritz said. His advocacy made both the university and its surrounding community more accessible to people with disabilities. It also made people with disabilities more visible in the community. "I wanted people who were not disabled to get exposure to people that were because I think society is stronger when it reflects the people within it.“ Fritz continued his advocacy by working for Senator Barack Obama and later for Commissioner Chai Feldblum at the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). Today, Fritz is a third-year law student at Washington University in St. Louis, where he serves as primary editor of the Washington University Journal of Law and Policy and director of strategic initiatives for the school's Public Service Advisory Board.

International exchanges represent another way to challenge people's perceptions of what is possible - a core belief of Mobility International USA (MIUSA). Founded in 1981 by Susan Sygall and Barbara Williams, MIUSA is a nonprofit organization that empowers people with disabilities to realize their full potential through international exchange. Sygall understands firsthand the power of international exchange. "I was attending school at the University of California Berkeley when I saw a Rotary advertisement that read 'Be an ambassador of Good Will. All expenses paid,' and thought, well that sounds like fun," Sygall said. While her time in Brisbane, Australia, was the "most amazing experience of my life," she was plagued with one question: “Where are all the other disabled people?” When she returned to the United States, she was determined to include more people with disabilities in international exchanges. What started with a few publications in 1981 has burgeoned into a major international disability exchange program. Short-term leadership exchange programs have served 2,000 young adults and professionals from more than 100 countries, while the Women's Institute on Leadership and Disability (WILD) has brought together women leaders with disabilities from around the world. Sygall works most closely with the WILD program. She wants "all young girls with disabilities to grow up loud, proud and passionate, and not let other people's preconceived notions of what they can do guide them.“ MIUSA launched its first outbound exchange program in 1984. Today, the organization has a variety of programs including outbound exchanges to China, Jordan and Spain.

Shakeya Britton is one person who has benefited from Sygall's organization. Britton represented the United States in MIUSA's 2011 Cross-Cultural Perspectives on Disability Rights Leadership Exchange Program to Spain. Enticed by the international experience, Britton wanted to know what it was like to travel, to be independent. "There's a freedom that comes with having independence," Britton said. "By giving a person with a disability that responsibility and freedom, they in turn become an active member of the community. They are no longer a person with a disability but a person .“ Britton saw the exchange as more than just an experience; it was an opportunity to be a role model for those with and without disabilities. Empowered by her trip, Britton used her experience to teach people in the United States about Spanish culture, to show how people with disabilities live in Spain, and to illustrate the ways Spanish organizations serve their community. As a Harris Wofford Global Service Fellowship recipient, Britton will travel again in 2013 this time to Cape Town, where she will spend the summer learning about South African culture and working with women, children and people with disabilities.
