YouthSpeak is a global movement powered by AIESEC. YouthSpeak Insights report is a set of insights from over 160 000 young people's opinion about education, engagement, leadership, their vision on the future and sustainable development. By spring 2016 it is the biggest youth movement, aiming on finding an answer to the question: "How can we engage Millennials to take action?".
AIESEC in Finland has customized the data, comparing Finnish reality to the global data and regional analytics. The YouthSpeak Insights report is not an ultimate answer to all of the questions about youth. Based on these insights we are open to conversation about how can we engage young people in Finland to take action towards the development of Finnish society and themselves?

Dealing with community conflict, (lsp 0.010 [dwcc])TheLeadingSkills
Does conflict always have to be expressed with violence? Yet, perhaps nothing is more commonly observed in our communities today than violent conflict, often resulting in the loss of human lives, also sometimes causing human displacement and permanent or protracted dislocations in human relationships. Once conflict sets in, people tend to live in prolonged pain, hatred, anxiety, and regret, and until someone comes around to help restore the broken relationships, no good ever comes out of the situation. But, even if the relationships are restored, you still need to bring back those important infrastructures and facilities that can make life really worth living again!
LSP leader, Nathaniel Msen Awuapila with his team, offers free training and mentoring to desiring youths and institutions that seek to acquire or build their skills and general capacity to live in peace and build a healthy, happy community of responsible citizens whose social and physical environment is protected, for their mutual/collective good.

Civil society in Asia Pacific steps up efforts to accelerate MDGs achievementBincy Paul
JAKARTA, INDONESIA – More than 30 representatives from Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) from ten countries in Asia and the Pacific are gathering today and tomorrow at the Civil Society Consultation on Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) Review to step up efforts for the acceleration of MDGs achievements in the remaining five years to the 2015 deadline.
The CSO Consultation, organized by the UN Millennium Campaign in partnership with ActionAid and Global Call for Action against Poverty (GCAP), serves as a consultative forum prior to the Special Ministerial Meeting for MDGs Review in Asia and the Pacific on August 3-4, the outcome of which will be presented and discussed at the MDG Review Summit to be held in New York on 20-22 September 2010.
“This CSO review of the MDGs marks the continuation of the first of such meeting organized by Erna Witoelar, former Special Ambassador to the MDGs for Asia and the Pacific in 2005,” says Mr. Minar Pimple, Regional Director, United Nations Millennium Campaign Asia and the Pacific Regional Office. “It is one of a few meetings of this nature happening in this part of the world, allowing the CSOs’ concerted voices and demands heard in the ministerial process as they play a contributory role in achieving the MDGs,” he continues.
“The most important objective of today’s CSO meeting is to create a concrete consensus among all the stakeholders in our regional effort to realize the Goal 1 of the MDGs on hunger and poverty,” says Mr. Saroj Dash, Thematic and Governance Manager, ActionAid.
The Review was inaugurated by Rezlan Ishar Jenie, Director General of Multilateral Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Indonesia. Speaking at the opening of the consultation, Mr. Rezlan says, “Achieving the MDGs is so imperative that it could mean the difference between life and death of millions of people in our region. This important meeting will contribute substantively to the Special Ministerial Meeting MDGs Review in Asia and the Pacific: Run-up to 2015 that my Government will host on August 3-4.”
He emphasized that failure to achieve the MDGs by 2015 would mean an additional 128 million people living in poverty on top of the 420 million people who would remain trapped in extreme poverty. One million children under the age of five would die and an additional 31 million children would suffer from hunger; and 7 million more children would drop out of school. “Hence, our dialogue today becomes even more important than ever; not just for civil society but also for governments,” he urges.
Asia-Pacific Region had made several progress in some of the Goals, including reducing gender disparities in education; and halving the proportion of people without access to safe drinking water. However, several pressing challenges remain against the backdrop of the global energy, food and economic crises. Key pressing challenges include hunger and child and maternal mortality. South Asia region alone has the highest number of hungry people in the world, which significantly impacts economic growth of the region; child and maternal mortality remains one of the highest in the world; and within-country disparities between urban and rural areas.
“This CSO Consultation is very important and significant in consolidating GCAP efforts to achieve the MDGs and in helping us mobilize support for the Stand Up and Take Action in September, the biggest global MDG mobilization campaign in the recorded history, as well as providing inputs in shaping up our strategy to achieve the MDGs in our region in the remaining five years,” says Nur Amalia of GCAP.

About the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)
The MDGs are time-bound, concrete and specific goals that 189 world leaders committed to achieving by 2015 at the United Nations Summit in September 2000. These goals are: 1) end extreme poverty and hunger; 2) achieve universal primary education; 3) promote gender equ

Generation Gap? Political and Economic Sentiment Across Three GenerationsRommell Montenegro
Millennials, born between 1980 and 2004, are now the largest and most diverse segment of the U.S. population. Not surprisingly, there has been a surge of recent research attempting to understand how this generation thinks, works and shops. One area that has received relatively little attention is differences in political and economic sentiment across the three largest generation groups.
Are Millennials more optimistic about the economy? Who cares the most about immigration policy? Which age group is the best target for messages about healthcare? As the US recovers from a recession and looks towards the next presidential election, it becomes critical to understand these market trends.

This document discusses population explosion as a threat to national security in Pakistan. It notes that Pakistan's population has grown rapidly from 45.9 million in 1960 to 178.9 million in 2012. This high population growth rate puts pressure on resources and can contribute to issues like poverty, unemployment, and social problems. If not addressed, an overpopulated country like Pakistan may face threats to national security and economic instability. The document advocates for family planning programs and increasing education and awareness to help control the population growth rate.

Global child rights organisation Plan International is partnering with the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media on a study to analyse the representation of girls and women in positions of leadership in films and advertising across the world.
The study will examine the top-grossing films in India, Dominican Republic, United States, Canada, Denmark, Honduras, Japan, Netherlands, Peru, Philippines, Vietnam, Sweden, Finland, South Sudan, Benin, Uganda, Sierra Leone, Zimbabwe and Senegal.
Additionally, girls will scan print advertising they are exposed to in their daily lives – from billboards, to the subway and newspapers – in five countries: India, Dominican Republic, Japan, Senegal and South Sudan, so that they and expert researchers can then analyse its messaging around gender.
The study is featured in this year’s State of the World’s Girls report.

The document discusses breast cancer as a major public health issue, with over 250,000 new cases estimated in the US in 2019. It notes that while breast self-exams can help detect cancer early, many women are not taught how to perform them due to taboos around discussing breasts. The Get In Touch Foundation aims to empower everyone to know their "normal" by making breast health routine through their Daisy Wheel education tool and mobile app. The brief challenges the audience to develop a strategic communications plan and big idea to achieve 500k app downloads in one year by appealing to new potential users.
This document summarizes a presentation on advancing the role of women in regional innovation ecosystems. It discusses how women are underrepresented as innovators and entrepreneurs. The presentation explores how regional innovation ecosystems and support programs can better integrate a gender perspective to be more inclusive and accessible to women. Key points discussed include a lack of understanding of women's innovation processes, gender biases in many systems, and how success is measured. Changing these dynamics and developing best practices globally were highlighted as important areas for further discussion.
The document discusses women and the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the UN in 2015. It provides an executive summary of the goals and their focus on gender equality. It then analyzes each of the 17 goals and how they relate to women, including examples of UN Women's initiatives in Eastern and Southern Africa to support each goal around issues like ending poverty, ending hunger, health, education, and others. The document aims to help countries in the region understand how to localize the SDGs and establish partnerships to achieve them, with a focus on women.

Women are having a significant economic impact globally and are becoming an increasingly important economic force. They contribute more to economic growth than new technologies or emerging markets. They also influence areas like fertility rates, workforce participation and consumer spending. As women gain more education and financial autonomy, they make decisions that shift household spending towards categories that are more important to women and families. Women reinvest over 90% of their income in their communities. However, more can be done to support women in leadership positions and help them access business opportunities. Mentorship is key to creating support and empowering women. Both organizations and individuals must work to promote strategies that advance women's careers and productivity.
For the official commemoration of International Youth Day 2023, DESA organizes a global webinar in collaboration with the UN Global Initiative on Decent Jobs for Youth at International Labour Organization and Generation Unlimited. The webinar offers critical information and data and will promote discussions and an exchange of ideas on green skills for youth. It features perspectives from international organizations, national governments and young experts working in this area. Knowledge products were developed to support and encourage stakeholders to celebrate International Youth Day 2023 in their various contexts and roles.
The document discusses equitable partnerships for agricultural research and development. It argues that truly inclusive partnerships are important to end hunger and promote sustainable agriculture. While inclusion can seem complex or expensive, the key is willingness to listen to diverse voices like smallholder farmers. Partnerships will be most effective when they respect local knowledge and ensure diverse groups help shape the research agenda.

Unpaid care work is essential but often invisible. It disproportionately burdens women and girls, limiting their opportunities and rights. To address this, policies and programs should recognize, reduce, and redistribute unpaid care work through a "4 Rs" approach. This involves making care visible, appealing for change, and supporting more equitable distribution of responsibilities between women and men as well as families and the state. Community-based research, advocacy campaigns, and popular communications can help drive progress on recognizing women's unpaid labor and promoting shared responsibility for care.
Using data-driven insight, Paul O’Shea, Head of Consulting, will explore diversity performance among organizations today, analyze changes in what the future diverse talent pipeline look for in employers, and address the rising importance of a diverse workforce culture as a leading employer today.

Inclusive sustainable development gender and climate change8 (2)UNDP Policy Centre
The document discusses inclusive sustainable development and accounting for gender in climate policy. It notes that development cannot be achieved if half the population is left out. Gender equality is key to effective development. Climate change disproportionately impacts women in terms of livelihood security, social security, and physical security. Mainstreaming gender in climate policies and programs is important but implementation is lacking. More balanced investment is needed between mitigation and adaptation in climate finance to help vulnerable groups cope with climate risks. Stakeholders have a role to play in ensuring quality and accountability in climate actions and finance.
1) The document discusses how empowering women in developing countries through education, healthcare, and economic opportunities could lead to global peace and economic stability.
2) Currently, women in developing countries face significant barriers like lack of access to education, healthcare, financial resources, and leadership roles that limit their potential contributions.
3) Empowering women by addressing these inequities could boost agricultural productivity, reduce poverty and infant mortality, and create a more educated workforce, benefiting all nations.

The current state of technology leaves a lot of people out - of innovation, education, the workforce, wealth and opportunity. This interactive workshop explores the current state for women and underrepresented minorities in tech, then delves into what each of us can do about it.
This workshop was given at Tech.co's Celebrate Tech Conference, and adapted from a talk I initially gave at AlterConf.
This document discusses equitable partnerships for agricultural foresights and input from organizations like farmers and NGOs. It argues that including diverse voices, like smallholder farmers, in foresights can help avoid mistakes and find new solutions. While including more stakeholders might seem complex, diversity actually enhances foresights. It also notes that listening to even one farmer can provide valuable insights due to the millions of weak signals they experience. Cooperatives and organizations already represent many smallholder voices that could help shape more equitable agricultural futures.
The document summarizes research on population aging and intergenerational relationships in Nigeria within the context of HIV/AIDS. It identifies two major challenges: 1) the need to strengthen and increase social pension schemes for elderly women caring for children orphaned by HIV/AIDS, and 2) for Nigeria to develop a comprehensive aging policy that protects elderly women. The document recommends disaggregated data collection, community-based research, and expanding social transfer programs to better support elderly female-headed households in the context of HIV/AIDS and population aging in Nigeria.

CLASSIFICATION OF H1 ANTIHISTAMINICS-
FIRST GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-
1)HIGHLY SEDATIVE-DIPHENHYDRAMINE,DIMENHYDRINATE,PROMETHAZINE,HYDROXYZINE 2)MODERATELY SEDATIVE- PHENARIMINE,CYPROHEPTADINE, MECLIZINE,CINNARIZINE
3)MILD SEDATIVE-CHLORPHENIRAMINE,DEXCHLORPHENIRAMINE
TRIPROLIDINE,CLEMASTINE
SECOND GENERATION ANTIHISTAMINICS-FEXOFENADINE,
LORATADINE,DESLORATADINE,CETIRIZINE,LEVOCETIRIZINE,
AZELASTINE,MIZOLASTINE,EBASTINE,RUPATADINE. Mechanism of action of 2nd generation antihistaminics-
These drugs competitively antagonize actions of
histamine at the H1 receptors.
Pharmacological actions-
Antagonism of histamine-The H1 antagonists effectively block histamine induced bronchoconstriction, contraction of intestinal and other smooth muscle and triple response especially wheal, flare and itch. Constriction of larger blood vessel by histamine is also antagonized.
2) Antiallergic actions-Many manifestations of immediate hypersensitivity (type I reactions)are suppressed. Urticaria, itching and angioedema are well controlled.3) CNS action-The older antihistamines produce variable degree of CNS depression.But in case of 2nd gen antihistaminics there is less CNS depressant property as these cross BBB to significantly lesser extent.
4) Anticholinergic action- many H1 blockers
in addition antagonize muscarinic actions of ACh. BUT IN 2ND gen histaminics there is Higher H1 selectivitiy : no anticholinergic side effects

Storyboard on Skin- Innovative Learning (M-pharm) 2nd sem. (Cosmetics)MuskanShingari
Skin is the largest organ of the human body, serving crucial functions that include protection, sensation, regulation, and synthesis. Structurally, it consists of three main layers: the epidermis, dermis, and hypodermis (subcutaneous layer).
1. **Epidermis**: The outermost layer primarily composed of epithelial cells called keratinocytes. It provides a protective barrier against environmental factors, pathogens, and UV radiation.
2. **Dermis**: Located beneath the epidermis, the dermis contains connective tissue, blood vessels, hair follicles, and sweat glands. It plays a vital role in supporting and nourishing the epidermis, regulating body temperature, and housing sensory receptors for touch, pressure, temperature, and pain.
3. **Hypodermis**: Also known as the subcutaneous layer, it consists of fat and connective tissue that anchors the skin to underlying structures like muscles and bones. It provides insulation, cushioning, and energy storage.
Skin performs essential functions such as regulating body temperature through sweat production and blood flow control, synthesizing vitamin D when exposed to sunlight, and serving as a sensory interface with the external environment.
Maintaining skin health is crucial for overall well-being, involving proper hygiene, hydration, protection from sun exposure, and avoiding harmful substances. Skin conditions and diseases range from minor irritations to chronic disorders, emphasizing the importance of regular care and medical attention when needed.

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.
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.
