The document provides an overview of ecstasy/MDMA, including its history, chemistry, effects, symptoms of use, trends in college student usage, and legislative efforts to address the drug. It was discovered in Germany in 1913 and studied as a potential chemical weapon before gaining popularity as a recreational drug in the 1980s. MDMA increases serotonin, dopamine, and norepinephrine levels and can cause euphoria but also neurological and physical side effects. Usage among college students rose significantly in the late 1990s according to one study. Various laws have aimed to target trafficking and hold rave organizers responsible.

"Youth" The Future Leaders! and “The Drug Problem“Andeel Ali
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!

LSD Dimensions: Use and Reuse of Linked Statistical Data as RDF Data CubeAlbert Meroño-Peñuela
Governments, public agencies and institutions, and companies produce a great amount of statistical data every year. Much of these data are released as Open Data and published on the Web, although usually as documents, not as Linked Data. In this talk I'll introduce RDF Data Cube (QB), a W3C standard for publishing multidimensional data, such as statistics, on the Web in such a way that they can be linked to other datasets and concepts. However, QB is pretty open towards how users should model dimensions and codes (variables and values in QB jargon), which hampers reusability of existing ones. To this end, I'll show you LSD Dimensions, a web based application that monitors the usage of dimensions and codes over five hundred public SPARQL endpoints.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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

MDMA is 3,4 methylenedioxymethamphetamine, a ring substituted derivative of phenethylamine, which is a close structural analog of amphetamine, methamphetamine and 3,4 methylenedioxyethylamphetamine (MDE: Eve). methylenedioxy (-O-CH2-O-) joining the 3,4 phenyl carbons to form a ring
During the 1970s there was an interest by some psychiatrists in using MDMA as a therapeutic agent because it was reported to reduce the inhibition of their patients to speak openly during therapy sessions.
CSA = Controlled Substances Act In the 1980s, MDMA got a new nickname, Ecstasy (also XTC and E), given to it by the newest group to experiment with it, our Nation’s youth. But at about the same time that MDMA first appeared as a so-called “party” or “club” drug at raves or all-night dance parties, evidence was emerging that this compound was not harmless, and indeed, could cause damaging effects on serotonergic neurons. In fact, in 1985 the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration added MDMA to the Schedule I list of drugs with no accepted medical use.
63% - either MDMA or 3,4 – methlyenedioxy-ethyl-amphetamine
PMA = paramethoxyamphetamine PMMA = paramethoxymethamphetamine Five hours after death, the body temperature was recorded at 104.
R – rectus (Latin for right) - S – sinister (Latin for left) Chiral is from the Greek kheir meaning “hand” Maximum number of stereoisomers is = to 2^n where n = number of chiral carbons MDA = methylenedioxyamphetamine … HHMA = 3,4-dihydroxymethamphetamine MDMA also induces a state characterized as "excessive talking" (loquacity), which was once believed to be helpful in psychotherapy. In the 1970s, MDMA was documented to produce permanent damage to serotonin pathways in the brains of rats and monkeys. Much like other amphetamines, MDMA causes these neurotransmitters to be released from their storage sites in neurons, increasing brain activity. Compared to the potent stimulant methamphetamine, MDMA triggers a larger increase in serotonin and a smaller increase in dopamine. Serotonin is a major neurotransmitter involved in regulating mood, sleep, pain, emotion, and appetite, as well as other behaviors. By releasing large amounts of serotonin, and also interfering with its synthesis, MDMA leads to a significant depletion of this important neurotransmitter. As a result, it takes the human brain a significant amount of time to rebuild the store of serotonin needed to perform important physiological and psychological functions.
This over-stimulation can selectively kill the neurons that normally release dopamine & serotonin Damage is not necessarily immediately apparent or noticeable as behavior
Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT) MDMA blocks 5-HT reuptake and induces 5-HT release and causes, to a lesser extent, DA and NE release.
High anti-diuretic levels stop kidneys from producing urine – can cause dangerously high water content in blood as kidneys improperly process water "Ataxia," which refers to coordination problems such as clumsy or awkward movements and unsteadiness, occurs in many different diseases and conditions. Friedreich's ataxia is an inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system resulting in symptoms ranging from muscle weakness and speech problems to heart disease. In Friedreich's ataxia, ataxia results from the degeneration of nerve tissue in the spinal cord and of nerves that control muscle movement in the arms and legs. The spinal cord becomes thinner and nerve cells lose some of their myelin sheath - the insular covering on all nerve cells that helps conduct nerve impulses. Nystagmus is an involuntary eye movement which usually results in some degree of visual loss. The degree and direction of eye movement, amount of visual loss and resulting impairment varies greatly from person to person. Role of MDMA in hyperthermia is not fully understood – might be the result of increased dopamine release through interactions with the dopamine D1 receptor
Malignant hyperthermia is a sharp increase in body temperature. Role of MDMA in hyperthermia is not fully understood – might be the result of increased dopamine release through interactions with the dopamine D1 receptor
Dose to cause these effects = 150 lb human taking 350 mg over 4 days
This slide shows brain PET scans of an individual who has never used MDMA (seen at the top of slide marked "control") and those of an individual who used MDMA for an extended period of time up until 3 weeks prior to the images being taken. Specifically, the PET scans show the brain's ability to transport a neurotransmitter called "serotonin" from the synapse back into the releasing neuron. Serotonin is fundamental to the brain's integration of information and emotion. Brighter colors in the PET scans indicate that more serotonin is being transported than do duller colors. As seen in the slide, the brain of the MDMA user shows duller colors compared to the control, indicating a decrease in the MDMA abuser's ability to remove serotonin from the synapse. Such findings are leading researchers to conclude that MDMA may increase the risk of long-term, perhaps permanent, problems with learning and memory.
