The National Reform Agenda aims to boost economic prosperity through increasing workforce skills and participation as well as reducing regulation to boost competition. A Fairer Victoria is the Victorian government's long-term plan to reduce disadvantage and increase opportunity for all residents. It focuses on early intervention, matching local services to individual needs, assisting communities to support individuals, and making services more accessible, responsive and effective. The framework has five policy objectives and 14 strategies, including providing fair access to services, creating opportunities for people with disabilities, increasing mental health support, building stronger communities, and making it easier to work with government.

Lifeline Modernization
The document discusses modernizing the Lifeline program to support broadband internet access for low-income Americans. Key points:
1) Lifeline was created in 1985 to connect low-income households to phone service, reducing the adoption gap. The 1996 Act recognized universal access to telecom services is evolving.
2) Broadband is now essential but unaffordable for many low-income Americans, with adoption rates under 50% for households earning under $25k.
3) In 2015 the FCC proposed updating Lifeline to provide $9.25 per month for broadband, seeking comments on eligibility and provider standards. This could expand rural access to education, jobs, healthcare and more.

Broadband in Southeast MN 2021 survey
This document summarizes responses from counties, cities, and townships in southeast Minnesota about broadband access and issues in their areas. Availability of service is lacking in many rural areas. Even where service exists, functionality is often insufficient for tasks like remote work and schooling due to slow speeds and unreliable connections. Respondents cited high costs, challenging terrain, and low population density as barriers to improving or expanding service. Most rely on internet providers to make upgrades but have limited ability to influence them. Funding sources for improvements include grants, ARPA funds, and partnerships between jurisdictions and providers. Addressing equity of access and affordability were also raised as ongoing issues.
2020 Broadband County Profiles
This document summarizes broadband access in Minnesota counties based on 2020 data. It finds that 16 counties have broadband access over 90% and are labeled "Green", 34 counties under 60% access are "Red", and the remaining 37 between 60-90% are "Yellow". Factors that contribute to higher access include being located in metro areas, having cooperative providers, receiving state broadband grants, and actively working with providers. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted both benefits and limitations of broadband access. The document aims to provide lessons for policymakers and community leaders to improve broadband, such as recognizing the impact of speed goals and state funding.

MEETING 4 PRESENTATION (7) INSIGHT SOCIAL RESEARCH LTD / HSCP (UK) IVISOC 2012
The document summarizes recent UK policy changes that impact volunteering and the relationship between the voluntary sector and health/social care services. Key policies discussed include the Localism Act of 2011, which devolves more power to local governments, and the Health and Social Care Act of 2012, which restructures the NHS. These policies aim to dismantle the "big state" and promote the "Big Society" by encouraging local groups to deliver more public services. The changes open opportunities for voluntary groups to bid for new contracts but will require adapting to a more business-focused approach.
Reaching Universal Broadband
Much like the construction of broadband networks across municipality borders, community development efforts often rely upon collaborations between multiple local governments and other organizations to produce the best outcomes. This session will focus on best practices for regional collaboration around broadband and community development. This session will also highlight a success story about reaching universal broadband coverage in Grayson County, Virginia.

Houseofkaizen conversion-optimisation
The document discusses conversion rate optimization and increasing website conversion rates. It states that conversion rate optimization uses advanced analytics, behavioral analysis, and testing to persuade more visitors to convert by maximizing profit from current clients. It aims to improve visitor conversion rates, identify conversion gaps, maximize marketing ROI, build insight into visitor perception, and correct website friction and anxiety issues. The document advocates for an evolution and testing approach to optimization rather than blind full site redesigns.
Assessment Units
Assessment involves collecting evidence to determine if a person has achieved competency against industry standards or course outcomes. Any organization can conduct internal assessments, but only registered training organizations can issue nationally recognized qualifications. Competency-based assessment is work-focused, criterion-referenced, standards-based, and evidence-based. Candidates can be assessed through training or separately. Principles of assessment include validity, reliability, flexibility, and fairness. Evidence must prove competency, come from a variety of sources, and be authentic, valid, sufficient and current. The purpose of assessment includes recognition of prior learning, identifying training needs, and determining progress or formal qualifications. Formative assessment provides feedback, while summative assessment determines competence.

West Yorkshire Combined Authority - Adult Education Budget Strategy V2 August...
In March 2020, West Yorkshire agreed an ambitious devolution deal with the Government, which will see our region have a directly-elected mayor from May 2021.
The agreement, which is the biggest ever of its kind, unlocks more than £1.8 billion in investment to drive up living standards through better transport, improved skills and stronger businesses, while tackling the climate emergency. This means that West Yorkshire will have control of the £63m annual Adult Education Budget (AEB) for the area enabling us to align spending on skills more closely with the opportunities and needs in the local economy.
The main purpose of the AEB is to provide adults with the skills needed for entering and sustaining employment, an apprenticeship, a traineeship, or other further learning. The funding pays specifically for learning programmes (predominantly qualifications) and provides an element of learner support funding for those with learning difficulties and disabilities.
The AEB Strategy has been developed in order to ensure that we are ready to deliver the Adult Education Budget by 1 August 2021. The plan builds on our existing strategies and the needs of our area, providing a clear foundation upon which we can build the skills of people and businesses within West Yorkshire. The timescales set out by the Government mean that it is necessary to develop the plan prior to the election of the West Yorkshire Mayor.

Victoria's 30-Year Infrastructure Strategy by Infrastructure Victoria (Decemb...Turlough Guerin GAICD FGIA
This is Victoria’s fi rst ever 30-year infrastructure strategy. It is a statewide, evidence-based plan covering all types of infrastructure. It sets out a pipeline of initiatives to be delivered over the next three decades to help create the best possible future for the state.
In total, 137 recommendations are made in the strategy. Some of these initiatives are new build solutions – state shaping projects that could transform how Victorians live and move. Many other initiatives involve no construction, but could be even more impactful. These include policy and regulatory reforms that could profoundly change how we behave. The strategy recommends decisive action in diffi cult areas, including increasing densities to make better use of existing infrastructure and bring people closer to jobs and services, introducing transport network pricing to manage congestion, providing more aff ordable housing for people at risk and improving communications infrastructure, particularly in regional and rural Victoria. Victorian cities are expanding and government must continue to plan and provide infrastructure for new communities. But the more Victorian cities sprawl, the harder it is for people to get around, and the more onerous the task of providing high quality infrastructure. Immediate and ongoing action is required to redirect growth to areas better equipped to cope.

Assessment
The document outlines organisational requirements, quality assurance procedures, roles, and legal and ethical standards that assessors must follow when developing and implementing an assessment plan. It stresses communicating the plan to all involved parties, including briefing the candidate on what to expect and their role. Assessors must document the assessment, recording at minimum the candidate's name, assessor, date, location, benchmarks assessed, evidence, results, and any necessary follow-up actions.
Communication
Communication involves sending and receiving messages through various channels. There are four main channels of communication: verbal spoken communication including listening; non-verbal visual communication such as signs and symbols; written communication; and body language. Effective communication occurs when the message is received as intended. In a salon, the key people an assistant needs to communicate with include clients, stylists, and other staff. The most commonly used channels are verbal spoken communication and non-verbal body language. Ensuring effective communication is important for providing good customer service in a salon.
Oh&S
The document outlines key legislation and common law related to occupational health and safety (OHS) in Australia, including the Occupational Health & Safety Act of 2004. It defines hazards as anything with the potential to cause harm in the workplace and lists several physical, chemical, biological, ergonomic, and psychological hazards. The document also discusses key responsibilities for OHS, including assessing risks, reducing risks, and being prepared for emergencies. Finally, it provides examples of safety guidelines and procedures that may be included in a hair salon's OHS program.
Inclusive Learning
An inclusive learning culture values and respects differences, promotes learning for all, and provides opportunities for everyone to develop skills. It supports learners with a variety of needs through client-centered approaches, modified activities and assessments, and multiple pathways to goals. Practicing inclusivity helps training organizations meet legal obligations and better serve a diverse range of learners and communities.
Intro To The Hairdressing Industry
The hairdressing industry is comprised mainly of small businesses, with over 21,000 locations nationwide employing around 53,000 people, most of whom are women. The key services hairdressers provide include haircutting, hair design, hair coloring, chemical treatments, and trichology.
Training Packages Session 3
The document discusses training packages which are integrated sets of components used to specify training and assessment in the vocational education and training (VET) sector. They include competency standards, assessment guidelines, and a qualifications framework. Competency standards outline relevant workplace units, assessment guidelines set rules for assessment, and the qualifications framework provides nationally recognized qualification titles and codes. The document also discusses understanding client needs, how training packages can be customized or contextualized to meet client purposes, and priorities and constraints clients may have.
Registered Training Organisations (Rtos)
Registered Training Organisations (RTOs) must meet certain quality standards including documenting business plans, policies and procedures. RTOs must have arrangements in place to support quality training and assessment for clients, including enrolment and induction, complaints handling, and providing support for learner needs. RTOs are also responsible for maintaining appropriate policies and procedures relating to areas such as risk management, continuous improvement, health and safety, staffing, records management and complying with relevant legislation.
Overview - The Training System
The document provides an overview of Australia's national vocational education and training (VET) system, including its key components, governance structures, and national strategies. It describes the VET system as industry-led, nationally consistent, and focused on delivering high-quality skills training. Key elements of the system include training packages, accredited courses, the Australian Quality Training Framework, and Industry Skills Councils.
Individual & Work Based Learning
Individual learning involves developing relationships between the facilitator and learner focusing on the learner's goals, learning style, and context. Mentoring is a mutually beneficial relationship where an experienced person helps a less experienced person achieve their goals. Coaching unlocks a learner's potential through feedback and modeling to help them achieve their goals and bridge gaps. A tutor works with an individual to develop skills and knowledge by addressing areas of misunderstanding or gaps in required versus actual skills.
Facilitating Sessions
The document outlines key considerations for effectively facilitating a training session, including:
1. Creating a detailed delivery/session plan that maps out timing, learning objectives, assessments, resources, and contingencies.
2. Establishing positive relationships with learners through clear communication, active listening, and demonstrating honesty and inclusiveness.
3. Effectively presenting content through demonstration of skills and techniques, setting tasks, and clarifying concepts while also facilitating the learning process through modeling behaviors and monitoring group dynamics.
4. Managing potential conflicts by addressing issues early, understanding different conflict management styles, and using resolution and negotiation skills.
Facilitation 2
This document outlines key planning considerations for learning programs including understanding the learning context, defining roles and responsibilities, determining if the program is standalone or part of a larger strategy, identifying learner needs and risks, and ensuring compliance with record keeping requirements. It stresses the importance of understanding the specific requirements of the learning context and clarifying what the planner will be responsible for in terms of program delivery, timelines, assessments, and relationships with other personnel. Record keeping is also identified as an area that must adhere to relevant regulations.
Assessment Validation
Assessment validation involves reviewing assessment processes, methods, tools and decisions to ensure they are valid and reliable. It assists assessors and organizations in ensuring consistent assessment standards. Assessment validation should be a planned, formalized, documented process focused on identified areas such as assessment methods and tools. It has several purposes, including demonstrating compliance with standards, improving assessment practices, and increasing assessor confidence.
Generic Skills
The document discusses the evolution of generic skills from Key Competencies to Employability Skills in Australia's vocational education and training system. It outlines the seven original Key Competencies established in 1992, and the eight Employability Skills that replaced them in 2007. The Employability Skills were developed in response to industry requests to emphasize non-technical skills for workplace participation, and were incorporated into training packages to help identify how these skills are developed and assessed.
Learning Program Design2
Training packages provide guidance for trainers but do not prescribe how training should be delivered. A learning program is developed by trainers to meet learners' needs and circumstances. It identifies the purpose, target group, outcomes, learning activities, resources, and includes a plan for achieving objectives. Learning programs consider factors such as learners' characteristics, skills, environment, and costs of delivery.
Learning Program Design
The document discusses various learning style theories including Honey & Mumford's four learning styles, Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences, and left vs right brain theories. It notes that these learning style theories should not be seen as proven categories but as ways to think about individual differences in learning. Key principles of adult learning are also outlined, such as connecting learning to life experiences and making training learner-centered. An effective learning program engages learners through meaningful and productive activities that result in desired learning outcomes. Such a program should identify its purpose, target group, learning objectives, and assessment requirements.
O H& S Presentation
The document discusses occupational health and safety (OHS) legislation in Victoria, including the Occupational Health and Safety Act of 2004 and regulations. It outlines shared responsibilities for OHS in learning environments and defines key terms like hazards, risks, and duty of care. Control measures for risks include eliminating hazards, substituting less hazardous materials, and using personal protective equipment if other options are not practicable.
Inclusive Practices
The document discusses inclusive work practices and how to foster an inclusive learning culture. It outlines several key aspects of inclusivity including:
1) Enabling individual differences and needs, promoting equitable participation, and providing support for learners.
2) Modifying work practices at the organizational, team, and individual levels as needed to be more inclusive.
3) Having the facilitator, organization management, and support staff work together to model inclusiveness, provide flexible learning opportunities, and make reasonable adjustments for learners with disabilities.
Language, Literacy & Numeracy
The document discusses language, literacy, and numeracy (LLN) skills and their importance in vocational training and assessment. It notes that each vocational area requires unique reading, writing, communication and numeracy tasks. Trainers must understand required LLN skills, model them, evaluate training materials for appropriate LLN levels, and identify learners needing assistance. Assessment tasks also need to be at an appropriate LLN level.

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. Giloy in Ayurveda - Classical Categorization and Synonyms

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective
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.

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.
