The document describes several experiments investigating the composition of inhaled and exhaled air. Pie charts are used to illustrate that exhaled air contains higher levels of carbon dioxide and water vapor compared to inhaled air, due to cellular respiration. Mouth-to-mouth resuscitation can revive someone by providing oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from their lungs.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Integrating figshare into our RDM workflow: University of SalfordDavid Clay
The document discusses integrating the data repository figshare into the University of Salford's research data management workflow. It outlines the drivers for improving research data management, including funder requirements. It then details the university's requirements gathering process, which involved auditing current practices, interviewing researchers, and identifying functional needs. Finally, it evaluates figshare as a solution, noting its abilities to enable publishing, discoverability, access control, and integration with other services.
This document provides an advanced Tabata exercise program template. Tabata involves exercising at a high intensity for 20 second intervals followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeating exercises for 4 minutes each. The program includes a warm up walk, exercises like ice skaters, push ups, squats, and abdominal exercises performed in the Tabata interval format, and a cool down walk. Each exercise lists the reps, sets, tempo, intensity, rest period and movement description. Precautions note stopping if pain is experienced.
The 2011 Horizon Report is a qualitative research project that identifies emerging technologies likely to impact higher education over the next five years. It describes six technologies that will enter mainstream campus use within three adoption horizons: near-term within one year, mid-term within two to three years, and far-term within four to five years.

This document provides information about health systems in India. It notes that India has a population of over 1.2 billion people spread across 35 states with wide disparities in wealth. The ratio of health professionals to population is low at around 2 per 1000 people. It discusses the evolution of health systems from ancient times focusing on Ayurveda and the establishment of modern allopathic medicine by the British. It highlights some pioneering Indian medical innovations and researchers. It also notes the fragmented private healthcare sector in India which spends a lower percentage of GDP on healthcare compared to other countries. It argues that New Zealand and India have a longstanding friendship and opportunities to partner in areas like public health.

This document provides information about the book "Resistants", which is a medical thriller about antibiotic resistance. It begins by describing the two main protagonists, the "poisoner" and the "huntress". It then discusses antibiotic resistance as a critical issue and provides endorsements from over 20 scientists and medical professionals who support the book's message. In the final sections, it discusses how the book raises awareness of antibiotic resistance and the ongoing scientific efforts to address this threat.
This document discusses preparing for and handling technology-based reference questions from patrons regarding their mobile devices. It begins by encouraging librarians to welcome such questions and discusses viewing them through the lens of traditional reference by focusing on the patron's informational needs rather than the technology. The document then examines differences in the reference interview process for tech questions, such as gathering details about the device and issue from the moment the patron approaches the desk. It emphasizes addressing the patron with confidence and providing resources to troubleshoot problems themselves.
This document discusses open learning ecosystems and the meta-design approach. It defines an open learning ecosystem as an open, adaptive system where self-directed learners share knowledge over the internet using Web 2.0 tools. The meta-design approach is presented as a way for teachers to regain some control over learner-initiated activities while still allowing learner freedom. Key aspects of the meta-design approach include learners continuously developing and changing design solutions to support their learning, and teachers providing scaffolds and incentives to foster the accumulation of learning niches.
This document discusses a framework for mapping e-textbooks as a socio-technical regime. It aims to identify the components of the e-textbook socio-technical regime in Estonia to understand how different actors and components interrelate and where obstacles exist. The main dimensions of the Estonian e-textbook regime include industry structure, standards, technologies used, techno-scientific knowledge, infrastructure in schools, and symbolic meanings around technology. Challenges include a lack of common standards, limited hosting of resources across platforms, and supporting new teaching practices with e-textbooks. Examples from Estonia are provided to illustrate the components of the current e-textbook socio-technical regime.
The document discusses using Web 2.0 tools like blogs, podcasts, and videos to engage students in online course development. It notes that students today are "digital natives" who are used to getting information digitally. Web-enhanced courses now make up over 20% of college courses and have seen increases in enrollment, sections offered, and student credit hours. The document promotes using Web 2.0 tools to encourage active learning, collaboration, and prompt feedback to engage today's students.

New Tools For Teachers - Primary Focus November 2009Ollie Bray
Ollie Bray's up-dated New Tools for Teachers Presentation - with a primary education focus. Originally delivered at Edinburgh University in November 2009.
This document summarizes a longer story about a hare and tortoise race in multiple parts:
1) Initially the hare wins easily but loses when he stops to rest, allowing the tortoise to finish first.
2) They have a rematch that the hare wins by not stopping.
3) In a third race, the tortoise changes the route so it ends at a river, which the tortoise can swim across to win while the hare waits.
4) In the end, they realize teamwork is best and they work together to both finish the race.
The document discusses two methods for overcoming psychological inertia: brainstorming and defining an ideal final result (IFR).
Brainstorming involves assembling a diverse group, designating a facilitator, outlining the problem without criticism of ideas, and sorting ideas afterwards.
The IFR is defined as an implementation-free description of the solved problem, focusing on customer needs. It provides a measurable framework for gauging innovation by establishing a target state. The IFR eliminates deficiencies, preserves advantages, avoids unnecessary complexity, and does not introduce new disadvantages. It helps release the hold of psychological inertia.
