The document summarizes the results of a survey about magazine design preferences. The survey found that most respondents preferred:
- A black and white color scheme for the magazine
- A medium close-up photo on the front cover
- A gold colored masthead
- A layout with more pictures than text
- Contents listed in chronological order
- Interview-style double page spreads
- A price between £4-6
- A normally styled magazine
- A male on the front cover
- Casually styled writing
The document concludes that the survey provided clear guidance about designing the magazine.
The school magazine cover uses bright colors and images of happy students of different races to represent the school as multicultural and positive. The formal font and language portray it as a school publication while still appealing to its target audience of teenagers aged 13-18. Both male and female students are depicted to show it aims to include all genders. Overall the cover aims to attract its intended readership through its visually appealing and organized design.
1) This document discusses the key conventions and components of a successful school magazine, including a masthead, date line/issue number, main story, contents, and images.
2) It provides an analysis of the necessary elements for an effective school magazine, such as an engaging main story, clear presentation, and wide audience appeal. Audience research found that students preferred stories on sports, events, music and teacher news.
3) The document evaluates previous magazine work, noting both strengths like professional design and weaknesses like a confusing contents page. It also outlines the brief to create an eye-catching magazine cover and contents page that follows conventions and provides easy access to information.
The document discusses language register and how it relates to magazine style and target audiences. It explains that a magazine's language, word choice, and visual presentation like color scheme should suit the intended readership. For example, a magazine like Q targets older, more professional readers so it uses sophisticated language and muted colors. In contrast, EDM Weekly targets 16-30 year olds so it employs modern terminology and a bright, attention-grabbing color scheme. The document concludes that the creator wants their magazine to combine these styles by having bright, attractive elements for younger readers but also some professionalism to potentially attract older people as well.
Dr. Lutz Maicher gave a presentation on event based modelling at the University of Leipzig. He argued that subjects change over time and most ontologies and applications do not reflect this. Dr. Maicher proposed representing events as key facts and viewing topic maps as a stream of facts about subjects. This would provide the full life cycle of each subject in the database. He encouraged changing ontologies to represent events and called for participation in this new approach.

Keeping the Conversation Alive
Lindsey Schofield,
Festival of Colour
Ever wondered how a biennial festival can maintain engagement in between festivals? It’s a bit like a long distance relationship with intense bursts of activity and then long periods of silence. Facebook is the perfect medium however to keep the conversation going and enable both sides to feel involved and connected when it sometimes feels like there’s not much to talk about.
The Festival of Colour has developed a unique way of approaching content using ‘content buckets’ to keep conversations meaningful and relevant.
In this session Festival of Colour General Manager Lindsey Schofield will show how she approached this dilemma, and why Facebook was the right medium for this in all the plethora of social media channels. She will outline what their initial goals were and how they implemented them with some step by step practical advice on how to manage Facebook content, how to navigate your way through the minefield of Facebook advertising and will share the best practice that she has developed for this biennial festival.
Never afraid to show what didn’t work as well as what has worked this will be an interesting and entertaining session ideal for anyone who faces a challenge of engaging with their audiences with a small budget, little resource and sometimes feeling like they’ve got nothing to say! Ideal for festival, production company, and venue management and marketing staff.
The document describes the student's work on creating a magazine for their coursework project. It includes details on the contents, layout, and design choices for the front cover, contents page, and double page spread. The student discusses the target audience for the magazine, which is teenage students interested in classical music. They also reflect on the skills and software learned during the project, including InDesign, Photoshop, and using Blogger to gather audience feedback.
The document describes the process of designing a contents page for a magazine. It discusses choosing fonts, colors, and layouts to match the magazine's style. It also describes adding elements like headers, page numbers, and a "cover story" logo. The designer gets feedback from the target audience and makes changes based on their suggestions, such as modifying the size and color of the "subscribe" box to better fit the style. In the end, the designer is pleased with the final contents page and feels it will appeal to the target readership.
The document provides step-by-step instructions for creating the front cover and a double page spread (DPS) for a magazine. For the front cover, the steps include: placing the background color, main image, barcode, magazine name, side lines, main headline, and final details. For the DPS, the steps are: launching InDesign, placing A4 pages next to each other, adding three text boxes for columns, inserting the article text while ensuring no word hyphenation, and including the main headline.
The document discusses the student's research, planning, and production process for a magazine project on musical theatre. For their research, the student analyzed existing magazines and videos about musical theatre history. They created surveys to gather primary research but feel they could have surveyed older people as well to compare perspectives. The student created a mood board and discussed key influences but feels they could have provided more detailed analysis. Hospital appointments caused some time away from the project, but the student tried to work during free time. They feel they could have created an extra page or poster with more time. Overall, the student analyzed their work critically and identified areas for potential improvement in the future.
The document discusses Friedrich Nietzsche's contributions to religion through his rejection of traditional religious views and embrace of philosophy. As a young man intended for the clergy, Nietzsche lost his faith at age 18 after discovering the works of philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer. Nietzsche went on to develop his own philosophical theories challenging traditional religious concepts and institutions. His writings influenced religious thought by promoting alternative perspectives on God, morality, and the meaning of life.
Depression as a high-powered lens for art w/Kyohei Sakaguchia-small-lab
The document discusses depression and creativity from a conversation with Japanese polymath Kyohei Sakaguchi. It includes an excerpt from his book "How to Use the Lens of Despair" where he describes how periods of depression give him a unique perspective and help restart his thinking process. He argues that depression can be a strength when it allows one to observe society without bias and see art through a "high-powered lens." The document provides context and resources for further reading the topics of depression and art.
The author created two surveys using Survey Monkey to understand what their target audience of 14-20 year olds would want in a music magazine. The surveys asked questions about interests, appealing elements, pricing, and genres. They received answers showing that images are important and readers are interested in new artists and celebrity news. This informed the magazine's design and content, which includes features on new pop artists, interviews, a variety of music genres, and advertisements for free downloads and posters to attract readers.
The document describes the design elements of a retro music magazine cover from the 1970s. It discusses the use of block text for the title, eye contact with the reader, era-appropriate bands and songs, and clothing that reflects the genre. It also summarizes the design of the contents page, including photos of artists wearing clothes from the cover, pull quotes, and categories like "In Every Issue" and "In This Issue". The document aims to capture the authentic feel of a 1970s music magazine through its visual design elements.
The document is a self-evaluation by Jack Huntridge Dixon of a student magazine he created. He is pleased with the general aesthetic of the front cover and formatting of text. He also positively represented the target audience of 16-18 year old students as hardworking and enthusiastic about their studies, challenging stereotypes. However, he feels the main coverline could have looked better with different colors and that the contents page is rough, as he ran out of time to make Photoshop edits. He also received some criticism for including a cover image on the contents page.
The document proposes creating a website and e-magazine aimed at teenagers in East London to educate them on Indian culture and discourage involvement in drugs and crime. It would include articles on joining a Bollywood dance club and how Indian culture has changed over time. Interviews and photos would be taken at a local dance club and from the writer's elderly aunt. The project is achievable within 12 hours by researching, writing, editing photos and videos, and designing the website and magazine pages. High organization is needed to coordinate interviews and meet deadlines. Required resources include a camera and college equipment booking. Legal and ethical standards will be followed.
What Exactly Are Some Really Good 250-Expression EssaAmber Voisine
This document discusses the efficiency of angular momentum transport in accretion disks of young stars. The main mechanisms of angular momentum transport are turbulence, magnetic braking, and outflows. Turbulence likely comes from the magnetorotational instability. Magnetic braking works through the transfer of angular momentum by torsional Alfven waves along magnetic field lines. Some observations have detected correlations between core magnetic fields and disk axes, as well as evidence of azimuthal magnetic fields in accretion disks, but more data is needed. Theoretical models have investigated how external magnetic fields are dragged into accretion disks.
The document evaluates Sigrid Oberg's media magazine project. It discusses how the magazine uses conventions of real magazines through elements like its masthead, fonts, and layout. It also summarizes how the magazine represents its target audience of young music fans through images and language. Additionally, it outlines how an independent publishing company called Blaze could potentially distribute the magazine since it already publishes similar music titles.

The document evaluates the student's music magazine project. It summarizes how the magazine developed conventions of real music magazines in its structure and format, while changing some elements like the placement of the masthead. It describes how the magazine cover uses black and white with red lips to attract attention and convey meanings related to the music industry. The contents page uses vibrant colors and abstract images to portray different scenarios. The double page feature uses a variety of images and red/black text to structure the story. The magazine represents hip hop and R&B culture through its stories, models, and title "Urbanised." Institutions like "Vibe" and "XXL" would be suitable to distribute the magazine due to their similar target audiences
The document provides details about the planning and research conducted for a punk fanzine project. It discusses audience research targeting males aged 16-25 from working class backgrounds. Content research explored definitions of punk subculture and topics like goth music and politics. Factual research examined layouts and content of past punkzines. Planning included mind maps, outlines, and a pagination layout. Technical qualities of the finished fanzine included edited photos, designed page layouts, and aesthetic elements fitting each subculture's style.
Saskia has chosen to create a print of a new music magazine for her research task. She is interested in journalism and enjoys reading magazines and listening to music. She feels this brief is a good fit for her skills and preference to work independently. Her initial ideas are to create a pop/chart music magazine targeted at teenagers ages 14-17. It will include interviews with people in the music industry and articles on concerts and festivals. She chose pop/chart music as the genre because it is popular with her target audience. Existing magazines like "We Love Pop" and "Billboard" are inspiring her work in their coverage of popular music, charts, and interviews.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapyDr. Sumit KUMAR
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.
The skin is the largest organ and its health plays a vital role among the other sense organs. The skin concerns like acne breakout, psoriasis, or anything similar along the lines, finding a qualified and experienced dermatologist becomes paramount.
Summer is a time for fun in the sun, but the heat and humidity can also wreak havoc on your skin. From itchy rashes to unwanted pigmentation, several skin conditions become more prevalent during these warmer months.

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.
PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s PerspectiveGolden Helix
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.
