Legal highs similar to illegal recreational drugs have led to deaths in the UK. Dealers find new legal compounds through small changes to illegal chemicals' structures and have compounds produced in China. Different drug classes correspond to varying criminal penalties for possession and dealing in the UK, with Class A drugs like ecstasy and cocaine carrying the harshest punishments. An anti-drug poster depicts the unhygienic lifestyle of meth addicts to warn of addiction through its setting in a dirty public bathroom.

Drug addiction and drug abuse
- Drug addiction and abuse refers to the chronic or habitual use of any chemical substance to alter states of body or mind for non-medical purposes. This includes both licit and illicit drugs.
- Addiction is compulsive drug use despite harm, while substance abuse refers to frequently using drugs like alcohol and inhalants that can be addictive.
- Dependence involves psychological need for a drug and physical tolerance and withdrawal symptoms. Addiction affects the reward pathway in the brain.
- Drug abuse has negative effects on individuals, families, and society through health issues, crime, and lost productivity.
Drug abuse
This document discusses key concepts related to drug abuse and addiction. It defines terms like misuse, abuse, drug seeking behavior, and reinforcing properties. It explains how drugs can act as positive or negative reinforcers, and how chronic exposure can lead to addiction characterized by craving. It describes methods to assess abuse potential in animals. It discusses the differences between habituation, addiction, and drug dependence. It provides criteria for substance dependence and abuse from the DSM. It also defines concepts like tolerance, withdrawal, cross-tolerance, cross-dependence, relapse, detoxification, and reasons why people may start abusing drugs.
Effects of drug abuse and addiction
The document discusses the various effects that drug abuse and addiction can have on the human body and brain. It notes that drugs enter the body through injection, inhalation, or ingestion, which impacts how quickly they take effect. Some of the potential health effects of drug abuse include weakening the immune system, cardiovascular issues, liver damage, seizures, and permanent brain damage. Drug use can also lead to behavioral issues like paranoia, aggression, and impaired judgment. Pregnant women who use drugs risk having babies with health problems, birth defects, or developmental issues. Long term, drugs have been shown to alter brain chemistry and interfere with decision making, which can lead to compulsive drug craving and dependency.
"Youth" The Future Leaders! and “The Drug Problem“
My first presentation on slideshare! This presentation was delivered in PYDN - Professional Youth Development Network's First Sindh Youth Summit which happened in 2010. And it was my first keynote presentation in any conference! :3
This presentation comprehensively explains the drug problem. I have given the Global Scenario i.e. How and When the United Nations decided to curb the World Drug Problem. Followed by the Local scenario of drug addiction i.e. How Pakistan and Sindh are suffering from it.
I have also explained how we can curb the drug demand in our society.
On a sidenote, this presentation can tell you how I have changed my powerpoint skills! :) i.e. from the generic mediocre style to what Jesse Desjardins @jessedee and Guy Kawasaki @GuyKawasaki advocate!
Drug abuse ppt
The document discusses drugs, drug abuse, and addiction. It defines drugs as substances that alter normal bodily functions when absorbed into the body. It notes that drug abuse is an intense desire to obtain increasing amounts of a substance and that drug dependence results in physical harm and behavioral issues over the long term. The document also shares the story of a teenager named Alby who abused drugs from ages 13 to 18 but was able to get treatment and now feels better about himself. It discusses surveys and activities conducted by students on these topics, including visiting a rehabilitation center.
Drug abuse prathyusha
Drug abuse refers to using drugs in a way that deviates from approved medical use, while drug addiction involves compulsive drug use that takes priority over other activities. Commonly abused drugs include depressants like alcohol and barbiturates, stimulants like cocaine and amphetamines, hallucinogens like LSD, marijuana, inhalants, and steroids. Cocaine works by blocking the reuptake of dopamine and other neurotransmitters, while morphine acts on opioid receptors to inhibit adenylate cyclase and produce sedation. Counseling patients and encouraging lifestyle changes can help those struggling with drug abuse and addiction.
Pharmacotherapeutics
This document discusses advances in monitoring pharmacotherapeutics and drug delivery system design. It begins with definitions of pharmacotherapy and the need for monitoring it to ensure safe and effective use of drugs. It then discusses factors like adverse drug reactions, rational drug use, and improving patient compliance. Recent advances in monitoring discussed include microscopy techniques for examining drug fate and distribution in tissues. The document also discusses trends in pharmaceutical product design like controlled release and targeted delivery systems. Specific advances highlighted include prodrug approaches, nanocarrier systems, and delivery methods like Ocusert inserts and buccal patches.
Polypharmacy and medication errors
This document discusses polypharmacy and medication errors. It begins by defining polypharmacy as the use of multiple medications where more are being used than clinically indicated. Polypharmacy can increase the risk of drug interactions and adverse events. Common risk factors for polypharmacy include the elderly, multiple comorbidities, recent hospitalization, and multiple physicians or pharmacies. Medication errors are also defined as any error in the medication use process and examples are provided. Reporting systems for medication errors and the most commonly implicated drug classes and individual drugs are outlined. Risk factors for errors and recommendations to reduce polypharmacy and errors are presented.

Over the counter (OTC) Medications
This document discusses over-the-counter (OTC) medications, including common conditions they treat like pain, fever, coughs and colds; popular OTC drugs like acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and cough syrups; and FDA regulations for OTC drugs. It covers OTC drug considerations regarding dosages, expiration dates, and inactive ingredients. Specific drug classes are explained, like analgesics, antihistamines, decongestants, antacids, and others. Geriatric and pediatric OTC use is also addressed.
Drug Abuse
Drug abuse is a common problem that is ruining not only the individuals but offering a global issue. People experiment with drugs for many different reasons. Many first try drugs out of curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or in an effort to improve athletic performance or ease another problem, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Use doesn't automatically lead to abuse, and there is no specific level at which drug use moves from casual to problematic. It varies by individual. Addiction is less about the amount of substance consumed or the frequency, and more to do with the consequences of drug use. No matter how often or how little you’re consuming, if your drug use is causing problems in your life, at work, school, home, or in your relationship, you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem. And if you are having this problem you are actually in trouble.

Oracle Parallel Distribution and 12c Adaptive Plans
Parallel Distribution and 12c Adaptive Plans
In the previous newsletter we have seen how 12c can defer the choice of the join method to the first execution. We considered only serial execution plans. But besides join method, the cardinality estimation is a key decision for parallel distribution when joining in parallel query. Ever seen a parallel query consuming huge tempfile space because a large table is broadcasted to lot of parallel processes? This is the point addressed by Adaptive Parallel Distribution.
Once again, that new feature is a good occasion to look at the different distribution methods.

It then compares 15th century and 19th century landscapes in terms of their structure and how they represent reality. Finally, it argues that today's information environment is more fragmented and connected like the 15th century landscape. It emphasizes that technical communicators must consider communication, culture, technology, and connections in their work.
Critique Discussion
This document provides guidance for conducting a critique session at a photography club meeting. It discusses that the purpose of a critique is to help members improve their skills through thoughtful evaluation and feedback rather than criticism. Members are encouraged to consider technical aspects like exposure and composition, as well as emotional elements like storytelling. Performing and receiving critiques can be difficult, but focusing on helpful feedback over compliments and avoiding defensiveness can make critiques more constructive. The meeting will include critiquing images in different categories.
12c SQL Plan Directives
The document summarizes how SQL Plan Directives in Oracle 12c can help address issues caused by cardinality misestimation in the optimizer. It provides an example where the optimizer underestimates the number of rows returned by a query on a table due to not having statistics on correlated columns. In 12c, a SQL Plan Directive is automatically generated after the first execution to capture this misestimation. On subsequent queries, the directive can be used to provide more accurate cardinality estimates through automatic reoptimization or dynamic sampling.
