"You Use, You Lose": An SHS Student AdvocacyGio Gaterin
Addiction is a chronic brain disease caused by drug use that disrupts the brain's communication system. Drugs either imitate or overstimulate the brain's natural chemical messengers, particularly dopamine, and can lead to compulsive drug seeking behavior. While initial drug use is often voluntary, continued use changes the brain in ways that challenge self-control. Risk factors like genetics, environment, and age influence a person's vulnerability to addiction. Prevention through education is key to reducing drug abuse.
This document discusses cocaine addiction, its effects, and treatment options. It defines addiction and describes the short-term and long-term physical and psychological effects of cocaine use. Short-term effects include increased heart rate and blood pressure, while long-term effects involve permanent damage to organs and increased risk of health problems. The document also outlines pharmacological and behavioral treatment approaches. Pharmacological treatments aim to reduce cocaine cravings and use with medications, though none are FDA-approved. Behavioral therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and contingency management have shown effectiveness in reducing cocaine abuse.
Addiction and substance abuse are significant public health issues that affect individuals and society. Treatment is crucial to address the impacts of addiction and facilitate recovery. There are several types of treatment approaches that are effective, including detoxification, inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation, and medication-assisted treatment. Evidence-based therapies like cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing target the psychological drivers of addiction. Supportive services, including individual counseling, peer support groups, and family therapy, provide a comprehensive support system to aid recovery. The overall goal of addiction treatment is to improve health, break the cycle of addiction, and empower sustained recovery.

Shahreyar Khan, a class 12 student, completed a biology project on drug addiction. The project included an introduction defining addiction, types of drug abuse like heroin, cocaine, and alcohol. It described the causes and effects of addiction and treatment methods like counseling and detoxification. The project included case studies of diabetic patients and concluded that drug use causes disease and disability worldwide but recent research may help reduce harm.
1) Tobacco smoking remains the leading preventable cause of disease and death worldwide. While smoking rates have decreased in developed countries, certain high risk groups have greater difficulty quitting.
2) Brief advice from doctors and other healthcare professionals on smoking cessation can more than double quit rates compared to no advice. Comprehensive treatment involving both behavioral support and pharmacotherapy is most effective for treating nicotine dependence.
3) Effective cessation medications include nicotine replacement therapy, varenicline, bupropion, and others depending on location. Behavioral support through counseling, telephone quitlines, internet programs, and motivational interviewing can also significantly increase success rates.

No nation on earth is untouched by the effects of drug abuse. The problem has reached such a
proportion that it has become a global threat. From the impoverished villages where drugs are
grown to the modern cities where they are ultimately sold, drugs follow a complex route that hits every country in the world; Bangladesh is no exception.
Millions of individuals worldwide are impacted by the complicated condition known as addiction. It is a long-term illness defined by obsessive drug or alcohol usage despite harmful effects. Addiction may have serious negative effects on the body, mind, and society that can cause long-term health concerns, interpersonal problems, monetary difficulties, and legal challenges.

Drug abuse is a common problem that is ruining not only the individuals but offering a global issue. People experiment with drugs for many different reasons. Many first try drugs out of curiosity, to have a good time, because friends are doing it, or in an effort to improve athletic performance or ease another problem, such as stress, anxiety, or depression. Use doesn't automatically lead to abuse, and there is no specific level at which drug use moves from casual to problematic. It varies by individual. Addiction is less about the amount of substance consumed or the frequency, and more to do with the consequences of drug use. No matter how often or how little you’re consuming, if your drug use is causing problems in your life, at work, school, home, or in your relationship, you likely have a drug abuse or addiction problem. And if you are having this problem you are actually in trouble.

Nephroptosis is a rare condition where the kidney drops into the pelvis when standing due to deficient supporting tissues. It is usually asymptomatic but can cause colicky flank pain, nausea, chills, high blood pressure, blood in the urine, and protein in the urine. Diagnosis involves patient symptoms and X-rays of the kidney in both upright and lying positions. Surgery to stabilize the kidney is no longer recommended for asymptomatic patients.
Mitral valve insufficiency, also known as mitral regurgitation, is a disease caused by the backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium due to the incomplete closure of the mitral valve leaflets. Common causes include degenerative valve disease and diseases affecting the heart muscle. Symptoms include dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, and a holosystolic apical murmur. Complications can include heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, and pulmonary edema.
Perception disorders involve sensory distortions or deceptions that result in abnormal perceptions. Sensory distortions refer to constant real perceptions that are perceived in a distorted way, while sensory deceptions involve new perceptions that may or may not be in response to external stimuli. Perception disorders can involve changes in intensity, quality, spatial form, or the experience of time of perceptions. They can also involve splitting of perceptions or sensory hallucinations without an external stimulus. The causes of perception disorders include intense emotions, sensory deprivation, disorders of sense organs, and disorders of the central nervous system.
Mitral valve insufficiency, also known as mitral regurgitation, is a disease caused by backflow of blood from the left ventricle to the left atrium due to incomplete closure of the mitral valve leaflets. The most common causes are degenerative valve disease, ischemic heart disease, and dilated cardiomyopathy. Symptoms may include dyspnea, fatigue, palpitations, nocturnal dyspnea, and a holosystolic apical murmur. Complications can include heart failure, pulmonary hypertension, arrhythmias, infectious diseases, pulmonary edema, and cardiac arrest.
Botulism is caused by toxins produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It causes descending paralysis beginning with the eyes and face muscles. The bacteria forms spores that are found in soil and can survive boiling. There are several types that cause illness in humans or animals. Treatment involves supportive care in intensive care units, including ventilators, and administration of botulism antitoxin to prevent further progression.
Pituitary tumors are common neoplasms that constitute 10-15% of diagnosed intracranial tumors. They are typically characterized by size and hormone secretion.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.
Electric vehicle and photovoltaic advanced roles in enhancing the financial p...IJECEIAES
Climate change's impact on the planet forced the United Nations and governments to promote green energies and electric transportation. The deployments of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicle (EV) systems gained stronger momentum due to their numerous advantages over fossil fuel types. The advantages go beyond sustainability to reach financial support and stability. The work in this paper introduces the hybrid system between PV and EV to support industrial and commercial plants. This paper covers the theoretical framework of the proposed hybrid system including the required equation to complete the cost analysis when PV and EV are present. In addition, the proposed design diagram which sets the priorities and requirements of the system is presented. The proposed approach allows setup to advance their power stability, especially during power outages. The presented information supports researchers and plant owners to complete the necessary analysis while promoting the deployment of clean energy. The result of a case study that represents a dairy milk farmer supports the theoretical works and highlights its advanced benefits to existing plants. The short return on investment of the proposed approach supports the paper's novelty approach for the sustainable electrical system. In addition, the proposed system allows for an isolated power setup without the need for a transmission line which enhances the safety of the electrical network
Harnessing WebAssembly for Real-time Stateless Streaming PipelinesChristina Lin
Traditionally, dealing with real-time data pipelines has involved significant overhead, even for straightforward tasks like data transformation or masking. However, in this talk, we’ll venture into the dynamic realm of WebAssembly (WASM) and discover how it can revolutionize the creation of stateless streaming pipelines within a Kafka (Redpanda) broker. These pipelines are adept at managing low-latency, high-data-volume scenarios.
1. Introduction to
Alcohol Use
Disorders and
Nicotine Addiction
This slide provides an overview of the prevalence, impact, and underlying
factors of two of the most common substance use disorders - alcohol use
disorder and nicotine addiction. Understanding the nature and scope of
these conditions is the first step towards developing effective prevention
and treatment strategies.
By Davud Ahmadzada
2. Understanding the
Prevalence and Impact
Alcohol use disorders and nicotine addiction are alarmingly prevalent,
affecting millions of individuals worldwide. Alcohol use disorder impacts
an estimated 14.1 million adults in the United States alone, while nicotine
addiction affects nearly 34 million smokers. The economic burden of
these conditions is staggering, with the annual costs exceeding $250 billion
in the US. Beyond the financial toll, these addictions exact a heavy human
price, contributing to a range of serious health complications and greatly
diminishing quality of life.
3. Biological and Psychological
Factors
Alcohol use disorders and nicotine addiction are influenced by a complex
interplay of biological and psychological factors. Neurochemical
imbalances in the brain's reward system contribute to the development and
maintenance of these addictions. Additionally, genetic predispositions can
increase an individual's vulnerability.
Psychological factors, such as stress, trauma, and mental health
conditions, can also play a significant role in the onset and progression of
these substance use disorders. Understanding the multifaceted nature of
these factors is crucial for designing effective prevention and treatment
strategies.
4. The Role of Genetics and Environment
1
Genetic Predisposition
Certain genetic variations can increase susceptibility to
alcohol and nicotine addiction.
2
Family History
Children of individuals with substance use disorders
are at higher risk.
3
Environmental Factors
Exposure to trauma, stress, and peer
influences can contribute to addiction.
The development of alcohol use disorders and nicotine addiction is influenced by a complex interplay
between genetic and environmental factors. Individuals with a family history of these conditions are
more likely to develop similar addictions, due in part to inherited genetic vulnerabilities. However,
environmental circumstances, such as exposure to trauma, chronic stress, and peer pressure, can
also significantly impact the likelihood of substance abuse and dependence.
5. Symptoms and Diagnostic Criteria
1 Alcohol Use
Disorder
Recurring alcohol
cravings, inability to
control consumption,
and continued use
