This document provides summaries of several cases involving financial institutions and compliance failures:
- The South Sea Company bubble and collapse in 1720 resulted from promoting unrealistic expectations of wealth from non-existent trade.
- Continental Illinois failed in 1984 due to bad loans, becoming the largest US bank failure until Washington Mutual in 2008. Its rescue led to the "too big to fail" term.
- Multiple banks experienced failures or scandals due to issues like poor due diligence, accounting fraud, risky investments, money laundering, and interest rate manipulation.
Regulators often failed to take action despite signs of non-compliance, demonstrating the complexity of financial regulation.
This document provides an introduction and summary of Marcus Aurelius' Meditations. It discusses that Marcus Aurelius was emperor of Rome from 161-180 AD and one of the most important Stoic philosophers. It outlines his life and education, military campaigns against invaders during his reign, and assessments of his character and administration as a just and fair ruler who promoted welfare. However, it notes the blot on his name was treatment of Christians during periods of persecution in his empire.
The SMART study aims to leverage mobile phones, social networks, and the web to promote weight loss among young adults ages 18-35. The study will enroll 400 subjects who will be randomly assigned to either a treatment group that receives the SMART intervention or a comparison group that receives standard health information. The SMART intervention utilizes existing social networks like Facebook combined with mobile apps, text messages, and a website to deliver behavior change strategies for diet, physical activity, and weight loss. Key challenges for evaluating the intervention include its evolving nature over time, potential contamination of control participants, clustering of participant social networks, and changes to platforms like Facebook.

The proposal is for an exercise and wellness program called "ExerWellness: Bend Oregon" that will use data mining algorithms and sensor technology to encourage physical activity and social support among residents. It aims to improve health outcomes in a sustainable way through gamification, social nudging, and real-time feedback on participants' activity levels, weight, and other health metrics. The program founders have experience developing similar community wellness initiatives and believe this comprehensive approach can help change behaviors and reduce healthcare costs over the long term by preventing chronic conditions.
This study aimed to determine if a social media intervention could encourage environmentally responsible behavior among students. The researcher created a Facebook group for students living in a dorm to reduce their waste in food, water, energy, and solid waste over 3 weeks. Surveys before and after measured conservation behavior, identity, and campus norms. The preliminary results found the social media intervention had a minimal impact on reducing waste among the 29 participants. This suggests social media alone may be ineffective for encouraging conservation behavior change, though more engagement was needed.

A Persuasive System For Obesity Prevention In Teenagers A ConceptDarian Pruitt
This document describes a concept for a persuasive system to help prevent obesity in teenagers. The system is part of a larger ecosystem involving schools, families, healthcare providers and other stakeholders. It uses a virtual individual model to tailor interventions for each user based on factors like nutrition habits, physical activity and mood. The smartphone app provides personalized messages, a food diary, games and social features to motivate healthy behaviors. Three pilot tests will evaluate the system's effectiveness in different countries and cultures. The goal is to help teenagers easily adopt healthy lifestyles through mobile persuasion and computer-tailored support.

Identifying Action-Outcome Relationships From Social

ABSTRACT
Every day, people take actions, trying to achieve their per-
sonal, high-order goals. People decide what actions to take
based on their personal experience, knowledge and gut in-
stinct. While this leads to positive outcomes for some peo-
ple, many others do not have the necessary experience, knowl-
edge and instinct to make good decisions. What if, rather
than making decisions based solely on their own personal
experience, people could take advantage of the reported ex-
periences of hundreds of millions of other people?
In this paper, we investigate the feasibility of mining the
relationship between actions and their outcomes from the
aggregated timelines of individuals posting experiential mi-
croblog reports. Our contributions include an architecture
for extracting action-outcome relationships from social me-
dia data, techniques for identifying experiential social media
messages and converting them to event timelines, and an
analysis and evaluation of action-outcome extraction in case
studies.

such as the effect of eating pasta before running a marathon,
or the consequences of adopting a puppy, are missing. While
some of this information may be found within the free text of

Prototype design of a mobile app oriented to adults with obesityIJECEIAES
Obesity in adults is a worldwide problem, which is why different countries, through their health-related agencies, implement policies to fight this disease. One of the tools is the use of a mobile application that controls obesity. In this sense, the prototype was designed taking into account different items such as physical activities, body mass index, calorie intake, and food options, among others. The objective of the research is to design a mobile app that allows us to control of obesity in adults. The methodology used is design thinking which allows us to use a systematic approach to reach the objective. An interview was conducted to identify the needs of the user and obtain information regarding their essential needs. In addition, a survey was carried out, the outcome shows satisfaction with a 58% acceptance rate. The beneficiaries of this research are adults who suffer from obesity and healthcare centers. Likewise, research has a positive impact since it focuses on solving problems directly related to health issues.
The “Meaningful Use” of Social Media by Physiciansyan_stanford
1. The study aimed to examine physicians' adoption and use of social media to share medical information between oncologists and primary care physicians.
2. It found that email, podcasts, and restricted online communities were most commonly used, while awareness and use of applications like LinkedIn, Twitter and RSS feeds was lower.
3. Oncologists had higher rates of using more traditional applications and podcasts, while primary care physicians tended to use more social applications like Twitter.
Web 2.0 systems supporting childhood chronic disease management: a general ar...Gunther Eysenbach
The document proposes a general architecture for Web 2.0 systems that support chronic disease management in children. The architecture is designed to be compliant with the World Health Assembly eHealth resolution. It involves three main services: access to resources for developing competencies in disease management, endorsement of peer-to-peer learning about disease management, and accreditation of learning materials and processes. Design patterns are used to represent core elements like access rights, regulatory frameworks, and values like individual customization and community belonging. The architecture allows an "ecological" development of user-generated content while ensuring medical quality and respecting constraints from the eHealth resolution.

This document summarizes a study that explored young adults' perceptions of how social media influences their health behaviors related to diet and exercise. The study conducted focus groups and interviews with 34 young adults. It found that social media was perceived to both motivate and act as a barrier to exercise. Participants also felt that social media expanded their food choices through recipes and sharing food photos, but could also distract from making healthy choices. Many reported posting about exercise on social media. The study discussed these findings in the context of social ecological theory and how social media may impact individual health factors.
The document discusses challenges and opportunities for technology-mediated social participation. It outlines a framework with three stages of participation: readers, contributors, and collaborators/leaders. It also discusses theories of how online social networks evolve and factors that motivate different levels of participation, such as usability, sociability, and recognition features. The goal is to harness online communities to address national priorities like disaster response, health issues, education and more.
Improved and Feasible Access to Health Care Services through Integration of M...IOSR Journals
This document discusses how integrating mobile technology and big data can improve access to healthcare services in India. It argues that reality mining of real-time data from mobile devices can provide insights into individuals' behaviors and lifestyles that may help predict health issues early on. Sensors in mobile phones can also continuously monitor physical activity and location. Analyzing these vast data streams alongside medical records through big data analytics could enable more personalized healthcare and early intervention, potentially reducing healthcare costs. However, privacy safeguards would need to be established to protect individuals' data while leveraging these technologies at scale for societal benefits.

This Kickstarter campaign seeks funding to develop an app called 2nd Circle that aims to reduce stress and burnout in family caregivers. There are over 50 million family caregivers in the US who provide an estimated $450 billion in annual care. The app will connect caregivers to friends and family for added support, sharing of resources, and engagement to improve resilience against burnout. Funds raised will be used to create versions of the app and build an initial user base, with future plans for the app to be self-sustaining through ads, premium subscriptions, and partnerships with health insurers.
Boomers Technology and Health: Consumers Taking Charge!HealthInnoventions
This document discusses boomers' use of technology for health and wellness. Some key points:
- Boomers are eager adopters of new technologies that improve health and independence as they age. They are taking charge of their health.
- Boomers use the internet and own smartphones and tablets to research health topics, communicate with doctors, and monitor chronic conditions.
- New technologies allow at-home health monitoring which many boomers prefer over visits to doctors' offices. This reduces healthcare costs and burdens on the system.
- The healthcare industry and tech companies are developing more integrated systems and services that empower consumers to manage their own health.

The document discusses opportunities in 21st century healthcare to provide more and better care at lower cost. It notes that historically successful mindsets, methods, strategies and structures are not adaptive to new opportunities. It advocates developing new internal adaptive capacity by working close to patients with timely, relevant information linked to action and rapid feedback to continually improve and realign behavior. A case study shows how one clinic dramatically improved diabetic care outcomes by adopting these adaptive principles.

The document summarizes REI's current approach to employee health and benefits and their desired future state for a more consumer-centric model. Currently, REI offers generous health plans but takes a passive approach to benefits with little employee engagement. Going forward, REI wants to implement a comprehensive wellness strategy with metrics tracking, incentives for healthy behaviors, leadership promotion of health, and a "health concierge" to help employees navigate care. The goal is improved employee health, productivity and reduced healthcare costs.

This document discusses consumer-centric health models and self-tracking topics. It lists over 30 different areas that individuals self-track, such as cycling performance, smoking cessation, sleep, diet, productivity, meditation, and more. The document emphasizes that while technology enables extensive data collection, individuals want experiences and meaning from their self-tracking efforts. It suggests that feedback loops, both short and long term, are needed to provide surprises, game mechanics, social motivation, and opportunities to observe patterns and progress.

This document describes the Helpers Program, a social and community network approach to tobacco cessation. The Helpers Program trains community members to have "helping conversations" that encourage and support tobacco users who want to quit. It is based on research showing the influence of social networks on health behaviors and that quit attempts are often unplanned. The Helpers model provides web-based or in-person training to help community members feel confident having supportive conversations about quitting resources. Several research projects have tested the Helpers approach in various communities and found it increased knowledge and helping behaviors. The goal is to engage social networks and foster communities that support tobacco cessation.

It shows that patients who received care coaching had lower readmission rates at 14, 30, and 60 days compared to those who did not receive coaching. The document also lists locations where studies have been conducted on reducing hospital readmissions and shows trends in readmission rates over time in different regions. It discusses challenges in establishing community infrastructure and partnerships to effectively coordinate care transitions to reduce readmissions.

This document presents a model for calming technology and strategies for its design. It discusses (1) removing stressors and including calming mechanisms, (2) understanding how stress affects the body and methods for reducing stress responses, and (3) user-centered design principles for calming technologies like building self-awareness, creating social support, and simplifying tasks. The goal is to design technologies that can help mitigate stress and promote relaxation.

This white paper provides an overview of behavior change filtered through the lens of health and financial imperatives, systems thinking and evolving portable technologies. Health Innoventions’ authors and conference organizers (Max Wells and Michael Gallelli) suggest that a confluence of demands and growing dynamic and interactive capabilities will drive us to better science and application of behavior change and maintenance. It was prepared as a companion document to the conference Consumer-Centric Health: MODELS FOR CHANGE '11, which took place on October 12-13 in Seattle.
Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...Oleg Kshivets
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).

Health Psychologist, Physical activity and diet intervention researcher,
The application of new innovative technologies into dietary assessment offers several advantages. These technologies hold promise for improving data quality, reducing costs (no need for trained interviewer), time saving (b/c the data are stored immediately), and reduces the burden on the respondent. Doesn’t require them to estimate portion size or remember their foods. Be sure to make mention that digital photography is a bogus phrase.
