Everything student life presentation
This document describes a proposed mobile application called "Everything Student Life" aimed at connecting students looking for accommodation or to buy and sell items with landlords and other students.
The application would have two main types of users - students searching for accommodation or items (buyers) and landlords and students listing accommodation or items for sale (sellers). It was designed as an iPhone app to be easily accessible to students.
User research in the form of questionnaires and interviews with students informed the design and features of the prototype, which allows buyers to search and view listings and sellers to post advertisements. A user-centered design approach was used and prototypes were tested iteratively based on user feedback to refine the interface.

This document provides an overview of a project aimed at developing guidance for youth services on effectively using technology to engage young people and promote access to mental health services. The project sought to understand how technology is currently used by young people and services, identify best practices, and provide recommendations. It involved workshops with end users, research from existing literature and examples, and input from a reference group. The resulting guide covers topics like engaging youth, communication technologies, online therapy, research methods, safety, and youth perspectives. It provides evidence from studies on tools like SMS and case studies of current programs. The guide was published as an online wiki and printed resource to help services improve technology-based outreach.Business presentation
The business concept is to sell supplements and promote healthy eating and exercise habits to contribute to wellness. Products include food supplements and the business encourages the idea that the body needs nutrients from both food and supplements to function properly. Funds will be raised through business proposals to companies and pamphlets accepting donations. The products will be sold by motivating both employed and unemployed young people to pass on the idea and sell products for a percentage of profits. The target markets are all age groups and locations since health needs change with age, but the focus is convincing young active populations to become agents promoting the idea.

- A randomized controlled trial was conducted to test whether delivering personalized social norms feedback via Facebook could reduce problematic alcohol use among university students.
- Students who screened positive for hazardous drinking were randomly assigned to a control group or intervention group that received messages with norms data and their own drinking behaviors.
- Results found the intervention group significantly reduced their monthly alcohol consumption and frequency at one and three month follow-ups compared to baseline and the control group.
- Perceptions of drinking norms also became significantly more accurate for the intervention group after receiving feedback.nPower - IEEE GOLD Volunteer Information Evening Nov 2013

Assessing capability can help determine suitable land for expanded food production while managing condition sustains productivity without degradation. The dimensions framework focuses thinking on soil and food security challenges and threats.
3.2 resetting the australian table food governance
This document summarizes current thinking on food system governance. It discusses how governance involves guiding and regulating different aspects of the food system, including land use, commodity chains, science/technology, and culture. Issues discussed include nutritional inequalities, competition over dietary diversity, and the complex nutrition transition. The document also examines how value chains are increasingly controlled by a few major actors and how standards like GlobalGap can both benefit and disadvantage suppliers. It reviews the roles of different international organizations and agreements in shaping food system governance.

Plant breeding in Australia aims to develop new crop varieties that are adapted to specific environments, resistant to diseases, increase yields, and suitable for domestic and export markets. This is done through analyzing major crops, targeting quality traits, and considering gaps and effects of climate change over 8-12 years. Australia exports wheat, barley, canola, and pulses to various global markets. Resources are allocated to improve traits driven by end users. Climate change may reduce grain protein, micronutrients, and bread quality through elevated CO2 levels. Developing strategies and new varieties that ensure ongoing food and nutrition security considering acceleration of lifestyle diseases is needed.
2.3 village chicken and egg value chains 2015 08 18
1. Village chickens are an important source of nutrition, income, and social benefits for many households in low-income countries. They are raised through scavenging or semi-intensive systems and provide protein, micronutrients, pest control and fertilizer.
2. Women and children are heavily involved in village poultry rearing and consumption. Addressing constraints like Newcastle disease is important to support production and nutritional outcomes.
3. Interventions to improve village poultry include vaccinations, market access, and addressing gender roles in production and consumption. Integrating poultry into nutrition-sensitive agriculture can benefit maternal and child nutrition.
2.2 resetting the australian table chooks august 2015
This document discusses the cultural and economic valuation of chicken production and consumption in Australia over time. It traces how chickens transitioned from household production to industrialized farming and mass production to meet supermarket demand. Women have played key roles in chicken value chains as farm co-owners, processors, and especially as household managers who purchase chicken due to demands of modern life for cheap, convenient food options amid changing gender roles and time constraints. The cultural values added by supermarkets centered around making chicken cheap, convenient, with choices and a clean image.

2.1 bb gender nutrition and value chain participants 19 08 2015Charles Perkins Centre, University of Sydney
Women play a central role in agriculture, health and nutrition but often lose out on benefits compared to men in the chicken value chain in Tanzania. While women do most of the work in production, they have less role in marketing and consumption, getting smaller shares of food. Putting women at the center of value chains could boost efficiency, fairness, poverty reduction and health by recognizing women's contributions and addressing gender inequities in activities, decision-making, household dynamics and policies. Strategies include building on tradition, creating women's spaces, organizing for change, and standards that support empowering women in vertical and horizontal integration throughout the chain.1.2 resetting the australian table session 1. heather grieve

The document discusses the double burden of malnutrition (DBM), where undernutrition and overweight/obesity coexist. It presents trends showing many low and middle income countries experiencing a nutrition transition due to diet changes from traditional plant-based foods to more processed foods high in fats and sugars. This transition is linked to a rise in overweight/obesity and nutrition-related non-communicable diseases (NCDs) while undernutrition persists, demonstrating the DBM. Indonesia is provided as a case study showing how rising incomes, changing diets and lifestyles have contributed to the DBM through data on calories and nutrition as well as the prevalence of undernutrition and NCD risk factors.1.1 j rushton 19 aug 2015 final
Livestock food systems are complex and play an important role in societies by providing food, income, and nutrition. A value chain approach can provide a better understanding of these systems by mapping the flows of products, nutrients, and hazards across the entire system from production to consumption. Recent studies in Nairobi have shown gaps in understanding pathogen transmission dynamics and disconnects between active food systems and nutrition of the urban poor. Expanding such analyses to other locations can improve policy by clarifying these complex systems and focusing on what is important to measure like human behavior, governance, and ensuring food provides adequate nutrition.
1.3 food systems innovation presentation v2
This document discusses the need for innovation in food systems to address current demands and crises. It argues that the real crisis is an innovation crisis, as food systems must change quickly to meet 21st century needs. Food systems innovation encompasses both technological changes and institutional/policy changes. Accelerating innovation requires constructive dialogue between public, private, and civil society stakeholders to set priorities, identify partnerships, and develop coherent policies and regulations. Australia's food system is connected globally, so domestic stakeholders must engage regionally for effective innovation.

This document discusses the role of policy in promoting human health and nutrition security in Australia. It notes that an estimated 5% of Australians are food insecure, while high rates of overweight and obesity exist. The document advocates for policies across the entire food system to increase access to affordable, nutritious foods. This includes supporting local food production and procurement, as well as initiatives to promote purchasing of healthier options. Government policy needs to focus on both the quantity and quality of available food to improve diets and reduce disease risk.Scott orr and-burgess_doing_well_by_doing_good_v5

What is Obesity? How to overcome Obesity?
Obesity is a chronic complex disease defined by excessive fat deposits that can impair health.
Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

Gene Expression System-viral gene delivery Mpharm(Pharamaceutics)
Gene therapy can be broadly defined as the transfer of genetic material to cure a disease or at least to improve the clinical status of a patient.
One of the basic concepts of gene therapy is to transform viruses into genetic shuttles, which will deliver the gene of interest into the target cells.
Safe methods have been devised to do this, using several viral and non-viral vectors.
In the future, this technique may allow doctors to treat a disorder by inserting a gene into a patient's cells instead of using drugs or surgery.
The biggest hurdle faced by medical research in gene therapy is the availability of effective gene-carrying vectors that meet all of the following criteria:
Protection of transgene or genetic cargo from degradative action of systemic and endonucleases,
Delivery of genetic material to the target site, i.e., either cell cytoplasm or nucleus,
Low potential of triggering unwanted immune responses or genotoxicity,
Economical and feasible availability for patients .
Viruses are naturally evolved vehicles that efficiently transfer their genes into host cells.
Choice of viral vector is dependent on gene transfer efficiency, capacity to carry foreign genes, toxicity, stability, immune responses towards viral antigens and potential viral recombination.
There are a wide variety of vectors used to deliver DNA or oligo nucleotides into mammalian cells, either in vitro or in vivo.
The most common vector system based on retroviruses, adenoviruses, herpes simplex viruses, adeno associated viruses.

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS
Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga
Gastrointestinal Infections
GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission.
Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others.
These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others.
The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition).
To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH.
Gastritis and Gastric Health
Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans.
Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively.
Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort. RESPIRATORY DISEASES by bhavya kelavadiya

In our country, the respiratory Disease conditions are consider as major cause for mortality and Morbidity in Child.
Pharmacology of Drugs for Congestive Heart Failure
Congestive Heart failure is caused by low cardiac output and high sympathetic discharge. Diuretics reduce preload, ACE inhibitors lower afterload, beta blockers reduce sympathetic activity, and digitalis has inotropic effects. Newer medications target vasodilation and myosin activation to improve heart efficiency while lowering energy requirements. Combination therapy, following an assessment of cardiac function and volume status, is the most effective strategy to heart failure care.
