Ho-o, an integrated program for Hikikomori in Japan. The program aims to raise a awareness among Hikikomoris and their families, provide the new pathway of their life and reconnect Hikikomori back to the society
Hikikomori is a social withdrawal phenomenon seen in Japan where individuals isolate themselves and withdraw from social life. It is estimated that over 1 million young people in Japan are hikikomori, staying confined to their homes for 6 months or more. Factors that may contribute include being an only child, experiencing bullying, and increased use of technology for social interaction rather than in-person communication. While technology and virtual worlds can provide ways for hikikomori to earn income, prolonged isolation poses problems and the phenomenon is a concern for Japan's future.
The document summarizes chapters about culture shock and adaptation from a book on international students' challenges. It describes the environmental, linguistic, academic, and social difficulties students face. Culture shock symptoms include anxiety, homesickness, and isolation. Two narratives illustrate how loneliness and isolation can trigger depression or wild imagination in students experiencing culture shock. The stages of cultural adaptation are explained as an initial "honeymoon" period, followed by a "crisis" as differences are noticed, then "recovery" and gradual adjustment as understanding and language skills improve. Full adjustment is achieved when students feel comfortable and accepted in the new culture.

Low Vision Managment, Age Related Macular Degeneration ARMDmahendra singh
This document discusses age-related macular degeneration (ARMD), including its definition, types, risk factors, functional implications, evaluation, and management. ARMD is the leading cause of vision loss in people over 65 and has two main types - dry (atrophic) and wet (neovascular). Dry ARMD is characterized by drusen and geographic atrophy, while wet ARMD involves choroidal neovascularization and scarring. Evaluation includes visual acuity testing, Amsler grid, and visual fields. Management focuses on magnification, illumination, refraction, and non-optical devices to aid reading and daily tasks. Counseling and low vision rehabilitation are also important parts of ARMD management.
The media often depicts disability using negative stereotypes that can influence public perceptions. Disabled characters are commonly shown as pitiable victims, as sinister villains whose impairments make them evil, or as "super cripples" whose disabilities magically enhance them. These stereotypes portray disability as an abnormality to overcome or something that isolates people from society. While some works frame disability as empowering heroes, they often still rely on the trope of characters using disability as something to escape. Overall, media representations frequently reinforce the idea of disability as a misfortune rather than a natural part of human diversity.

Culture is defined as the ways of thinking, acting, and material objects that form a people's way of life. Indian culture has been shaped by its long history, unique geography, and absorption of customs and traditions from neighbors while preserving ancient heritages. When a country has 450 million young people under 18, it reflects the youthfulness of the country in more ways than one. Real issues have changed from just food, clothing, and shelter to more complex societal issues. Indian culture views the relationship between individuals and society as complex, hierarchical, and transcending the material world by emphasizing interdependence.
This document discusses the phenomenon of reverse culture shock that many expats experience when returning home after living abroad. Reverse culture shock refers to the unexpected adjustment difficulties and challenges of re-entering one's own culture. The more immersed someone became in the foreign culture, the harder it can be to readjust to their home culture. Common symptoms include feeling disoriented, frustrated, bored, withdrawn, and resistant to friends and family. Environmental changes like noise levels, weather, and pace of life can also be difficult to readjust to. The document provides coping strategies and quotes from returnees experiencing feelings of being an alien in their own country from the changes they underwent while living abroad.

Understanding the stages and symptoms of cultural shock, which include isolation, homesickness, and lack of confidence, can help expatriates and travelers adjust to a new place.
1. Lenses can be convex or concave, with convex lenses converging light and causing magnification.
2. The power of a lens is determined by its focal length, with shorter focal lengths indicating higher powers. Spectacles and magnifiers use convex lenses of varying powers for low vision needs.
3. Telescopes use combinations of convex and concave lenses to provide angular magnification without changing vergence. Galilean telescopes have a positive objective lens and negative eyepiece, producing an erect image, while Keplerian telescopes have two positive lenses and an inverted image.
This document discusses various forms of cultural discrimination faced by indigenous peoples, immigrants, and religious minorities. It provides examples of how indigenous groups in countries like Mexico, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, and the United States face social exclusion, lack of access to jobs and services, forced displacement, and violence against their leaders. Immigrants may experience beatings, torture, unlawful detention, and exploitation. Religious groups encounter discrimination in access to education, healthcare, public office, and some face arrest or death due to their beliefs. Discrimination also occurs against atheists through imposition of religion by governments, intrusion of faith in politics, social rejection, and religious content on news programs.
This document discusses hydrogel and silicone hydrogel contact lenses. Hydrogel lenses have advantages like initial comfort but disadvantages such as poor oxygen transmission and dryness. Silicone hydrogel lenses have higher oxygen permeability which makes them more suitable for extended wear and reduces risks of complications. Silicone hydrogels are more expensive than hydrogels but provide benefits like increased comfort, rigidity for easy handling, and surface wettability. The document recommends silicone hydrogel lenses for patients who wear contacts long hours or in low humidity environments.

It notes that over 38,000 tons of trash containing food waste is generated in NYC daily, with 85% ending up in landfills and less than 15% recycled.

Culture is learned and shared behavior patterns of a society that are passed down between generations. It determines how members of a society think, feel, and act, and defines their outlook on life. Since humans have no instincts, they must learn appropriate behavior through the process of socialization within their culture. Primary socialization occurs through learning language and behaviors from parents in infancy. Secondary socialization involves other institutions like education and media that teach conformity to social norms. Without culture and socialization, there would be no human society.

- When applied in American and Philippine education, social reconstructionism faced challenges like standardized curricula, English-only instruction, and disconnects between classroom learning and students' communities.
- In the Philippines, community school programs that integrated school and community functions were more effective at social and educational development. However,
