Summary of Clinical Issue (200-250 words):
The number of HIV- positive adults has become an increasing the issue due to the increasing the number of patients. According to the UNICEF,1.8 million adolescents are living with HIV worldwide, and more 1.5 million number of cases lives in Africa. More Analysis of this number revealed HIV-positive adolescents girls accounted for two-thirds of new adolescents’ infection. Young adults between the age of 15-19 made up 16% of new adult infections worldwide.in Africa, adolescents’ girls are the most prone adolescents to be infected with the virus.as compared to boys, adolescent girls were twice as likely to get HIV.
Th main mode of infection among adolescents is unprotected sex.in Africa,85% of all new infection were as a result of having unprotected sex.Adolescents don’t use contraception they don’t have enough knowledge about the sex how to do healthy sex and protect their self from the infection due how people going to judge them and specially in Africa because people still follow the other culture you should not have sex in certain age because they follow the strict the culture preference. The financial and technological status of the countries specially in the poor and Asian courtiers is responsible for the HIV in the adolescents. The lack of the proper technology in the health care institution is responsible for the making gap between the planning, treatment, and distribution of antiviral drugs difficult.in Africa there is lack of the budget due to the poor management purchase and distribution of the antiretroviral drugs leaving HIV positive adolescents to the drugs themselves. Also, the poor living standards of low income of adults lead them to resort using sex for the daily earning. The poor financial conditions of most regions in Africa need to be addressed to cater to medical gaps and to enhance the provision of antiretroviral drug among infected youth. This paper analysis six articles to find out the HIV perception, social support and protection, and medical gaps which exists in adolescents over the last decade.
PICOT Question: How do adolescents diagnosed with HIV perceive social support, promotion, and medical gaps during the decade?

Ic2s2 Tutorial on Modeling Human Values via Social Media DataISI Foundation
Understanding human values with an empirical approach, both from a qualitative and quantitative point of view, allows us to better model behaviours, actions, and attitudes towards social phenomena. It is invaluable in the design of, for instance, effective health interventions - such as encouraging vaccination- or even appropriate communication campaigns for policy making - such as sensibilization towards pro-environmental attitudes. This is important since public debate on human values often focuses on perceived threats to different values while rarely understanding or articulating how values are inferred from people’s behaviors and judgements. In this tutorial, we give an overview of how the basic human and moral values are interpreted according to the psychological literature, as a combination of individual, societal, and cultural forces. We discuss the latest research in assessing these through both traditional methods, as well as through quantitative methods applied to digital data. In the first part, we provide an overview of traditional survey methods, and discuss their applicability to the new forms of discourse, the validity of recruitment using the Internet and new opportunities this medium holds. In the second part, we consider several case studies of applying computational methods to large amounts of social media data for understanding values associated with specific domains, including politics, health, charitable giving, and privacy, and discuss how social media can capture the behavioral differences in large populations of different values. Here, we introduce methodologies for large scale data analysis including topic discovery, topic refinement, grounded theory labeling, network science, and regression modeling. We conclude with the discussion of ethical use of such modeling, including data and model bias, informed consent, intervention design, and the use of persuasive technology.

He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Office Hours: T, 1:00-3:00 p.m., or by appointment
Office: JRC 155
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Is beauty “in the eye of the beholder”? Are “beauty” and “prettiness” synonymous? Are “beauty” and “ugliness” opposites? Might beauty be considered a transcendental
aspect of being, along with the true and the good? Is beauty a means by which God reveals God’s self in the created order? Ought we consider Beauty as a name for God? This
course examines a variety of theological approaches to these questions, both ancient and modern. It also explores the implications of varying answers to these questions for
creating works of art, and for living lives of faith.

STUDENT
ORIENTATION
15. •
In
2013,
there
were
about
7,
723
people
living
with
HIV/AIDS
in
Minnesota.
About
350
people
acquire
an
infection
each
year,
and
75
people
die
annually
in
our
state
from
HIV/AIDS.
•
In
Minnesota,
the
epidemic
affects
populations
of
color
disproportionately.
Although
populations
of
color
represent
15%
of
the
overall
population,
49%
of
the
new
infections
occur
in
communities
of
color.
•
MSM
accounts
for
88%
of
cases
of
transmission
in
the
white
population;
lesser
so
for
communities
of
color.
•
In
the
United
States,
one
in
every
500
college
students
is
living
with
HIV.
The
cases
among
adolescents
and
young
adults
in
Minnesota
has
nearly
doubled
since
2005.
WHAT IS THE PROFILE OF THE EPIDEMIC IN
MINNESOTA?
16. •
Sub-‐Saharan
Africa
is
by
far
the
region
most-‐
affected
by
HIV/AIDS.
The
region
has
just
over
10%
of
the
world's
population,
but
is
home
to
68%
of
all
people
living
with
HIV.
•
Sub-‐Saharan
Africa
has
more
women
than
men
living
with
HIV.
Worldwide,
51%
of
infections
are
in
women;
but
in
SSA,
60%
are
in
women.
•
Globally,
half
of
the
people
who
acquire
HIV
become
infected
before
they
turn
25.
In
this
age
bracket,
AIDS
is
the
second
most
common
cause
of
death
(behind
violent
crime).
•
AIDS
is
the
largest
cause
of
maternal
mortality
in
South
Africa
and
also
accounts
for
35%
of
deaths
in
children
younger
than
five
years.
WHAT IS THE PROFILE OF THE PANDEMIC
GLOBALLY?
18. Resistance
to
the
Initiatives
is
rare.
Occasionally,
however,
there
are
students
who
object,
usually
because
they
believe
the
gay
men
who
live
with
the
virus
are
living
with
the
consequences
of
their
actions,
and
that
this
is
part
of
“God’s
plan.”
In
such
cases,
we
have
explored
a
number
of
options:
• We
have
had
private
consultations
with
the
students
to
provide
an
alternative
narrative.
• We
have
provided
statements
from
the
USCCB
and
Vatican
on
care
of
homosexual
persons
and
human
dignity.
• We
have
provided
Bishops
statements—
especially
African
bishops,
for
review.
• In
very
rare
cases,
we
have
made
classroom
accommodations
in
order
to
“do
no
harm”
in
the
community.

Direct
violence
is
horrific,
but
its
brutality
usually
gets
our
attention:
we
notice
it,
and
often
respond
to
it.
Structural
violence,
however,
is
almost
always
invisible,
embedded
in
ubiquitous
social
structures,
normalized
by
stable
institutions
and
regular
experience.
Because
they
are

regard
those

as

COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Catalog description: This course will explore the relationship between theology and the public health professions. “Public health” is a term that refers to the art and science of a
society’s efforts to prevent disease and to promote health and human thriving. Topics will include biblical, theological, sociological, epidemiological, and ethical approaches to
gender- and economic-based disparities in health care. Special attention will be given to the religious dimension of global responses to crises in public health. Focus of sections
will vary depending on the expertise of the faculty.
This section: This section will focus on the HIV/AIDS pandemic with thirty hours of experiential, community-based learning, and will consider forms of structural violence that
determine who is most vulnerable to an infection and who will be shielded from harm. Biblical, theological, and ethical approaches to HIV/AIDS response will be examined in
conversation with current sociological and epidemiological data.
Prerequisites: THEO 101 and one 200-level or 300-level THEO course, and PHIL 115.

We
are
not
volunteers.
We
are
University
students.
Obviously,
we
are
not
volunteers
when
we
work
in
the
community
through
our
courses
at
the
University
of
St.
Thomas.
Rather,
we
are
University
students,
assigned
to
work
in
the
community
in
order
to
learn
the
content
of
our
courses
in
association
with
an
organization
that
is
responding
to
a
public
health
crisis
that
is
unfolding
in
our
own
day.
37. 2.
We
are
not
heroes.
We
are
not
saviors.
We
are
University
students
studying
public
health
as
a
“text”
in
the
community.
Often,
we
use
language
signifying
our
desire
to
be
“heroic”
by
engaging
in
a
large-‐
scale
solution
to
a
social
problem.
Some
find
it
just
plain
unsatisfying
to
deliver
a
bag
of
meals
to
a
house
or
two
each
day,
or
to
rake
a
yard.
If
this,
though,
is
our
intent:
to
be
heroic,
or
to
make
ourselves
feel
good
by
doing
this
kind
of
work,
we
need
to
reexamine
what
we
are
doing.
The
assignment
is
not
meant
to
make
us
feel
any
better
than
reading
a
course
textbook.
It
is
meant
to
fuel
learning
in
the
course
in
which
we
are
enrolled.
38. 3.
We
are
not
voyeurs.
We
are
engaged
and
respectful
observers.
Often,
there
is
an
instinct
to
yearn
for
greater
access
to
the
clients,
and
to
the
deepest
revelations
about
their
lives.
We
need
to
remember
that
that
clients
are
vulnerable
in
many
different
ways
and
we,
as
University
students,
are
ill-‐equipped
to
respond
meaningfully
to
revelations
of
a
personal
nature.
Open
Arms
has
a
policy
about
NOT
crossing
the
threshold
into
people’s
homes
as
a
means
to
protect
the
client
as
well
as
the
student
precisely
because
we
are
not
qualified
to
counsel,
pastor,
or
otherwise
accompany
the
clients.
It
is
important
to
establish
professional
boundaries
as
we
engage
in
the
community.
39. 4.
We
are
not
exploiting
the
clients.
Ours
is
a
reciprocally
beneficial
relationship.
Because
of
work
that
has
happened
“behind
the
scenes”
between
the
staff
people
at
Open
Arms
of
Minnesota,
Clare
Housing
and
Minnesota
AIDS
Project,
together
with
faculty
and
staff
at
the
University
of
St.
Thomas,
every
effort
has
been
made
to
ensure
that
the
partnership
between
the
University
and
the
community
is
truly
a
reciprocal
one.
The
engagement
is
to
be
of
mutual
benefit.
We
are
conducting
work
beneficial
to
our
community
partners,
just
as
they
are
serving
the
goals
of
higher
education.
40. 5.
We
are
not
priests.
We
are
University
students,
and
we
are
not
present
to
cast
judgment,
hear
confession,
or
offer
absolution—but
only
to
understand
our
disciplines
in
relation
to
public
health.
We
are
not
owed
a
confession,
and
we
are
not
ordained
to
grant
or
to
deny
absolution.
If
we
are
differentiating
between
“guilt”
and
“innocence”
in
our
minds
in
relation
to
the
acquisition
of
the
virus,
we
should
ask
ourselves,
“Why
is
such
a
differentiation
important?,”
“For
what
purpose?,”
“How
often
is
confession
necessary?,”
“To
whom
is
confession
owed?,”
“Why
does
this
matter
to
me?,”
“What
do
my
answers
to
these
questions
mean
for
my
engagement
in
this
component
of
my
course?,”
and
“What
is
the
role
of
compassion
in
my
belief
system?”
41. 6.
We
are
not
outside
of
the
system.
In
fact,
as
college
students
of
whatever
financial
means,
we
are
advantaged
by
the
systems
as
they
stand.
Service-‐learning
is
bringing
students
“face
to
face”
with
people
impacted
by
a
public
health
issue
in
the
hope
that
we
will
work
to
restructure
systems
for
the
common
good.
Sometimes,
we
avoid
the
deeper
issues
of
this
engagement
by
defending
the
degree
to
which
we
are
scandalized
by
the
social
problems
to
which
we
are
exposed
in
the
course,
without
evaluating
our
own
complicity
and
involvement
in
the
systems,
themselves.
If
conducted
effectively,
the
reflection
component
in
service
learning
should
mitigate
this
risk,
and
ask
us
all
to
consider
our
own
responsibility
in
relation
to
the
pandemic.
42. 7.
We
are
not
professional
rhetoricians.
But
we
are
University
students
who
recognize
that
language
matters.
Because
the
people
with
whom
we
are
working
constitute
vulnerable
populations,
in
our
journals
and
conversations,
we
will
respect
client
CONFIDENTIALITY.
Avoid
LABELING.
When
writing
and
speaking,
always
put
the
person
first:
“a
child
living
with
HIV”
recognizes
the
child’s
inherent
dignity
more
effectively
than
“an
HIV+
suffering
child.”
The
fact
that
in
our
own
country
as
well
as
in
the
developing
world,
people
of
color
and
women
are
disproportionately
impacted
by
HIV/AIDS,
please
avoid
phrases
about
LUCK,
recognizing
the
role
that
PRIVILEGE
plays
in
infection
rates.
43. 8.
We
are
not
to
be
hopeless.
We
possess
agency,
and
can
choose
to
respond.
We
can
make
a
difference.
To
be
sure,
the
statistics
in
relation
to
HIV/
AIDS
are
overwhelming.
However,
this
service-‐learning
engagement
invites
participants
to
interface
with
one
client
or
one
resident
at
a
time,
whose
individual
life
and
story
transcends
the
numbers.
To
impact
a
single
life
is
not
an
insignificant
thing.
Moreover,
in
community
with
one
another,
the
common
good
is
impacted
substantially.
As
a
community
united
by
a
common
curriculum
if
not
a
common
objective,
we
can
do
much
more
together
than
any
one
can
do
alone.
If
we
develop
community
engagement
into
our
lives,
the
ripples
spread
even
wider.

When someone perpetrates an act of rape, it’s about reclaiming
a sense of power.
—Kelly Hatfield, People Opposing Women Abuse
In 1973, Adrienne Rich published a collection of poetry called Diving
into the Wreck, which includes a poem called “Rape.” The poem explores
how the survivor of rape is traumatized again by the male-dominated
criminal justice system. An officer’s voyeuristic titillation by her disclo-
sure when she gives an account of the crime implicates him, Rich asserts,
in something of a gang that continues to perpetrate violence against her:
And you see his blue eyes, the blue eyes of all the family
whom you used to know, grow narrow and glisten,
his hand types out the details
and he wants them all
but the hysteria in your voice pleases him best.1

Kimberly Vrudny is Associate Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minnesota, and a
photographer. 30 Years / 30 Lives is her photographic exhibit that documents the stories of thirty individuals who are living with
or affected by HIV and AIDS in the United States, South Africa, Thailand, and Mexico. It was created to mark the thirtieth anniversary
of the announcement from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control that the virus was in the human community (1981–2011). This essay
is the photographer’s reflection about photographic ethics and challenges posed to ethical standards in the field. Kimberly Vrudny is
a member of the Board of Directors of the Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies, and she has written extensively
for arts. This project was supported by a grant from the Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies as a part of its
Luce Fellowship Program.

IN THE STUDIO
The color of the little one’s fleece sweater caught my
eye. I was fidgeting with something in the car as we
drove from house to house in a section of the Cape
Flats the people with tongue in cheek call “Barcelo-
na,” just outside of Cape Town, South Africa, where
the apartheid government dumped people with dark
skin. We were delivering food parcels for Open Arms
of Minnesota. Earlier we had gotten out of the vehicle
to hoist the heavy sacks of sugar, flour, and groceries
into the next recipient’s shack. “That section is Holly-
wood,” our driver explained as she pointed to another
area off in the distance. “But here,” she exclaimed,
“welcome to Barcelona!” She spread her arms and
bowed before us, collapsing in a fit of laughter. After
delivering the food and making small talk with the
resident, we headed back to the car. “I wish I had HIV
so I could get some food,” I heard someone mutter
as we navigated our way between the tightly packed
shacks. Back in the car, we drove slowly up the deeply
rutted roadway, deeper and deeper into the township.
I resisted my desire to shoot photo after photo of the
bewildering story I was witnessing as people demon-
strated pride of ownership with lace curtains inside
tin-roofed shelters, and with cardboard advertise-
ments arranged into wallpaper-like patterns on the
walls. But when I saw the red, yellow, and pink coat
over orange pants and pink shoes, my camera came re-
flexively to my face. I shot the photograph. The woman
holding the child on her back turned to face me. She
laughed, covering her toothless mouth with the back
of her hand, and waved before continuing up the hill.
We finished our deliveries and returned to our hotel.
Of course I knew better than to take the pho-
tograph. At a conference in Denver in 2006, I had lis-
tened, transfixed, to a paper read by theologian Laurie
Cassidy. She described Kevin Carter’s 1994 Pulitzer
Prize–winning photograph of “a starving Sudanese
girl who collapsed on her way to a feeding center while
a vulture waited nearby”—an image that has garnered
much attention and scrutiny for questions it raises
about photographic ethics.1
About Carter’s photo-
graph from the Sudan, for example, an article in the
St. Petersburg Times (Florida) said, “The man adjust-
ing his lens to take just the right frame of her suffer-
ing might just as well be a predator, another vulture
on the scene.”2
Repeating a question that was posed
by critics, Cassidy asked her audience, “Inasmuch as
Kevin Carter chose to take the time, minutes that
may have been critical at this point when she is near
death, to compose an effective picture rather than to

1. The photographer and his story have been the subject of songs, films, and novels. The Manic Street Preachers, a Welsh band,
recorded a song about him that is on their album Everything Must Go (1996), as did Martin Simpson and Jessica Ruby Simpson for
their album Band of Angels. Novelist Mark Danielewski describes the photograph in House of Leaves (2000), as does Masha Hamilton
in The Distance Between Us (2004). Alfredo Jaar’s 2008 installation The Sound of Silence at the South London Gallery treats the life of
the photograph after Carter’s death. The Death of Kevin Carter: Casualty of the Bang-Bang Club is a 2004 film by Dan Krauss; it was
nominated for an Academy Award in 2006. 2. Quoted in Scott MacLeod, “The Life and Death of Kevin Carter,” Time, September 12,

save the child, is he complicit?”3
Cassidy’s paper also
critiqued Carter’s image on the basis of the dynamics
of power and privilege implicit “in gazing and being
gazed upon.”4
When one gazes at photographs of peo-
ple who are suffering, one has agency, she explained,
whereas the one who is gazed upon “is captured in the
frame of the photograph as the object.”5
Moreover, she
continued, “Our passive and uncritical gaze upon suf-
fering human beings in photographs may re-inscribe
the role of viewer as spectator and ‘normalize’ the
suffering of the human upon whom we gaze.”6
Ulti-
mately, Cassidy expressed her hope for the develop-
ment of a critical process of looking, “to make visible
the privilege that masks shared human vulnerability
with the suffering human being in the photograph.”7
She recognized that “we are all implicated by the pho-
to,” if we acknowledge “the power relationships that
conditioned her suffering and death.”8
Cassidy’s concerns about an unreflective and
uncritical exposure to images of suffering are, of
course, shared. Susan Sontag famously raised these
questions and others in her books On Photography and
Regarding the Pain of Others.9
More recently, scholars
have raised disturbing questions about the ethics of
documenting human rights disasters photographi-
cally. The curators of an exhibit that treats these
themes, Beautiful Suffering: Photography and the Traffic
in Pain, write, “Every day, we encounter exquisite im-
ages of others’ pain. . . . This exhibition offers you,
the viewer, an opportunity to consider how we are all
implicated in this traffic in pain that is endemic in
our culture and manifest in our images.”10
Persua-
sively, scholars contributing critical essays to this vol-
ume demonstrate how photography often strips the
humanity of the people it aspires to document and
circumvents the very reaction it aspires to elicit. While
affirming the compassionate nature of the viewer
who is moved upon seeing a photograph, these schol-
ars argue photographs rarely intervene to bring about
social change. Viewers are less and less frequently
moved to tears, and even more rarely to action, as the
public becomes increasingly desensitized to images of
suffering, given their prolific distribution in the pub-
lic square. Moreover, the encounter with a powerful

Guidelines for Students Involved in Service-Learning
University of St. Thomas
While incidents of concern are rare in service-learning programs, it is still wise to take normal
precautions to maximize the chances of a safe and rewarding experience for you as well as those with
whom you will be working. The University of St. Thomas cannot anticipate all situations you might
encounter while participating in a community-based learning project. In an effort to assist you in being
prepared, you may find the following suggestions helpful. We encourage you to do your own inquiry as
well to see if anything else is required as you begin your service-learning project.
Please understand that this is written for all students involved in community-based learning projects so
some suggestions may not apply to you or your situation. Your faculty member and site supervisor will
be the best sources of information regarding needs and suggestions for your particular site. Please talk
to your supervisor, faculty member, or the Office for Service-Learning if you have any concerns.
When finding your own site
• Start early and be patient. Staff at not-for-profit organizations are often stretched in terms of
responsibilities and may not be able to return a call or email as quickly as you might like.
Before you leave for your site
• Wear appropriate clothing. Dress conservatively. You generally want to blend in with the
community. What is appropriate on campus is often not appropriate when involved in a service-
learning project: avoid tight fitting clothes, low-cut tops, low-cut or low-hanging pants, short
skirts or clothes with holes in them. Jeans are usually not appropriate either. Wear comfortable,
yet appropriate shoes. If you’re unsure about your attire, ask your faculty member and
supervisor.
• Bring only essentials; leave jewelry, purses, iPods, extra money, etc. at home
• Plan to arrive a few minutes early; if you get lost, run into unexpected traffic, need to stop for
gas, need to clear your car of ice or snow, or have trouble finding a parking spot, you can still
arrive on time.
• Honor your commitments, but If you will be late or can’t come, call your site supervisor 24
hours in advance if possible
• Refrain from alcohol or intoxicating substances prior to going to your site
Transportation to your site
• Travel to your site with at least one other person
• Know the address of your site and where to park. Bring a map and telephone number in
case you get lost. Ask where to enter the building if there are several entrances.
• Put valuables in your trunk before you leave, park in a well-lit area, and lock your car
• If taking the bus, know what time the bus arrives at your stop so you are not waiting long
• Walk confidently in well-lit, busier areas
• If you are uncomfortable walking to your car or a bus stop, let your site supervisor (and
faculty member) know and ask if someone can accompany you
• If you need to ask for directions, check with local business personnel rather than
individuals on the street
On-site
• Know your on-site supervisor and how to reach them in an emergency and who you should
see if they are not available.
• Ask your supervisor where to leave personal belongings at your site
• You should not be working where you are alone with anyone – particularly minors.
