The document discusses the role and skills of a facilitator for farmer field schools (FFS). It defines a facilitator as a guide who helps farmers learn through hands-on activities rather than lectures. An effective facilitator is technically competent, can be an extension officer or experienced farmer, and guides discussion rather than imposing their own ideas. Key responsibilities of a facilitator include organizing FFS activities and meetings, maintaining basic administration, and ensuring constructive communication. Core facilitation skills discussed include listening, managing group dynamics, asking questions, giving feedback, and using tools to structure discussion and decision-making. The document emphasizes that a good facilitator remains neutral, builds on farmers' existing knowledge, and helps farmers learn through their own experience and
Figs provide many health benefits such as relief from constipation, weight loss, reducing inflammation and cancer risk, strengthening bones, and preventing conditions like hypertension, heart disease, and colon cancer. They are high in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that promote digestive, heart, and bone health. Figs can also help manage diabetes and sexual dysfunction when consumed regularly.

The health care-seeking behaviour of study participants, although mainly confined within the
ethnomedicine sector, shared much in common with that of people who use global CAM. The appeal of
traditional therapies lay in their religious and moral legitimacy within the South Asian community,
especially to the older generation who were disproportionately influential in the determination of
treatment choices. As a second generation made up of people of Pakistani origin born in the UK reach the
age when they are the influential decision makers in their families, resort to traditional therapies may
decline. People had long experience of navigating plural systems of health care and avoided potential
conflict by maintaining strict separation between different sectors. Health care practitioners need to
approach these issues with sensitivity and to regard traditional healers as potential allies, rather than
competitors or quacks.
Farming in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province By Allah Dad Khan Mr.Allah Dad Khan
1) Agriculture is the largest sector of Pakistan's economy, contributing 21% to GDP and supporting 75% of the population. However, small farmers (<12.5 acres) make up 93.12% of farms and own 61.4% of farmland.
2) Rural poverty in Pakistan is high due to unequal land distribution. Small farmers in KPK struggle with low yields on subsistence farms and lack of irrigation, inputs, and skills.
3) proposed solutions include expanding irrigation, improving seed and fertilizer access, strengthening extension services, and promoting livestock, horticulture, and rural agro-processing to diversify livelihoods.

Digital signature certificates (DSC) provide a digital equivalent of a physical signature and can verify identity online. There are two main types of DSC in India - Class 2 for individuals and Class 3 for organizations requiring higher assurance. The government assures five companies can provide DSCs across India, like TCS and ACE Technology in Rajasthan. DSCs allow vendors, bidders, and others to electronically sign and submit documents from anywhere, reducing paperwork. The goal is to make government services more accessible online through programs like MCA21.

Presentation on Farmer Based Organizationsgssp_ifpri
The document analyzes farmer-based organizations (FBOs) in Ghana. It finds that FBOs engage in various collective activities like inputs procurement, marketing, agroprocessing, and production. However, most FBOs involved in production are not receiving significant economic benefits and are not engaged in viable activities. Only FBOs involved in marketing or processing seem to be benefiting and engaged in viable businesses. In general, FBOs act like groups waiting for external support rather than becoming self-sustaining organizations. The study concludes that few FBOs have become bankable without continued external assistance.

Onion seeds, also known as nigella or kalonji, come from the Nigella sativa annual plant native to Southwest Asia. The small black seeds have a bitter, peppery flavor and are used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. Onion seeds contain beneficial oils and nutrients and have traditional medicinal uses. They add flavor when sprinkled on breads or mixed into meat and vegetable dishes.
Aconitum napellus, also known as monkshood or wolfbane, is a highly poisonous plant. A 60-year old male extracted the plant and ingested it in a suicide attempt. He became agitated and nauseous and was taken to the hospital where he died of cardio-respiratory arrest two hours later. Post-mortem toxicological analysis confirmed the presence of the toxic alkaloid aconitine in the blood and urine at lethal concentrations, causing his death.
This document provides an overview of the follow-on public offering (FPO) process in India. It discusses what an FPO is, the basic differences between an initial public offering and an FPO, the two types of FPOs (dilutive and non-dilutive), and the steps companies take to carry out an FPO, including employing underwriters, projecting financials and structures, determining price through discovery, and selecting an offering method. The document also outlines some of the main advantages and costs associated with conducting an FPO.
The document discusses strengthening farmer organizations in South Africa through developing systemic competence. It details:
1) Developing extension officers' competence using participatory experiential learning workshops, mentoring, and facilitation for change principles. This led to strengthened farmer groups.
2) Farmer groups formed umbrella organizations to bargain for services, coordinate activities, and solve conflicts.
3) Umbrella organizations linked farmers' demands to service responses, supporting agricultural innovations in over 100 villages and non-agricultural activities in over 100 more.
4) Facilitation skills and mentoring extension officers were key to strengthening farmer organizations and agricultural innovations.

This document summarizes a presentation on cooperative versus contract farming in India given to the Department of Agricultural Extension. The key points are:
1) Cooperative farming involves farmers voluntarily pooling resources like land and labor to jointly cultivate farms, while maintaining individual land ownership. Contract farming involves an agreement between farmers and companies to produce crops in exchange for inputs and a guaranteed price.
2) Both approaches aim to improve resource use and farm productivity. Cooperative farming has benefits like cost reduction through economies of scale, while contract farming provides access to inputs, credit, and markets.
3) However, cooperative farming has largely failed in India due to issues like lack of government support and leadership. Contract farming is more prevalent and

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
