This document contains an analysis of a survey conducted by students on the understanding of epilepsy. The survey was distributed to 250 students, with questions related to causes, symptoms, treatment and management of epilepsy. The responses were analyzed and the mode (most common answer) was identified for males and females for each question. Overall, the analysis found that female students demonstrated a better understanding of epilepsy, with the average percentage of correct answers being 68.17% for females and 64.67% for males. The document concludes that females showed a higher level of understanding of this chronic disease based on the survey results.

ABSTRACT
Background: Insomnia consists of a predominant complaint of dissatisfaction with either duration or quality of sleep. Difficulties with sleep are recurrent, occur despite adequate opportunities for sleep, and are associated with impairment of daytime functioning. An increased prevalence of insomnia is associated with older age but the exact prevalence in elderly is unknown. The most common comorbidities are psychiatric illness and sleep disordered breathing (SDB). SDB is a term used to describe a spectrum of respiratory disturbances that occur during sleep, such as obstructive sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). OSAHS is an important medical condition presumably underdiagnosed in the elderly population. The main two symptoms of this SDB are snoring and excessive daytime sleepiness, both in younger as in older patients. Currently, the diagnosis of OSAHS is still based on the combination of characteristic clinical features and the objective findings of polysomnography. The Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), the Berlin Questionnaire (BQ) and the STOP-BANG (Snoring, Tired, Observed, blood Pressure, BMI, Age, Neck circumference, Gender) are questionnaires that have been developed to objectify insomnia, sleep quality and OSAHS respectively.
Objective: The goal of this study is to estimate the prevalence of OSAHS in the population older than 75. Moreover we want to canvass the validity of several questionnaires used to objectify the sleeping quality and assess the possibility of OSAHS.
Methods: In this convenience sample, patients older than 75 visiting four general practitioner (GP) offices were asked for their sleeping pattern by one screening question: ‘How would you describe your sleeping pattern?’. If they reported a dissatisfying sleep, they were offered to fill in the ISI. The patients who attained an ISI-score of eight points or more were considered positive for insomnia and were included in this pilot study. These patients were asked to undergo a sleep evaluation with the Brizzy® portable monitor. Furthermore they were asked to fill in the ESS, the PSQI, the BQ and the STOP-BANG questionnaire.
Results: In our pilot study a total of 73 patients completed the ISI, of which 31 patients tested positive for insomnia. 24 patients were subjected to the Brizzy® analysis. 21 out of these 24 cases got a new diagnosis of OSAHS. Two subjects were considered negative for OSAHS and one patient was diagnosed as a snorer. The ESS and the STOP-BANG questionnaire seemed to have the greatest sensitivity and specificity among the several questionnaires used, objectifying sleep quality and assessing the presence of OSAHS consecutively.
Conclusion: This pilot study confirmed the present underdiagnosis of OSAHS in elderly patients, described by earlier studies. The ESS and the STOP-Bang questionnaire seemed to be the most adequate questionnaires among those used in th

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. Introduction
This is our final assignment for Mathematics. This assignment is designed to
provide us with experience on how to conducta survey, to organize, present the data
and we were assumed to work in a group to study the understanding level of female
and male students in Taylor’s University on the common chronic disease, Epilepsy
in Malaysia.
Epilepsy, also known as a chronic disorder where a condition that affects the
brain and causes repeated seizures. Nowadays, people can get Epilepsy in any age
and the most important thing to do when u saw a personduring seizure, you have to
put a cloth or anything soft for the patient to bite so that they won’t bite their own
tongue.
Thus, we chooseEpilepsy as our topic because we would like to find out how
well do adults between aged 18 – 30 know about it. There are 18 questions in our
survey form, through the survey form we can analyze the understanding level of
young adults on this common chronic disease in Malaysia.
4. Objectives
The main objective of this assignment is to study the understanding level of
female and male students in Taylors University on one of the common chronic
diseases in Malaysia. We chose epilepsy as our topic because people often
misunderstand or even do not know about this disease.
This task is to collect and organize the statistical data. Besides that, we can
apply the knowledge that we obtained to analyze the statistical data and draw
conclusion from the data. From there, we able to understand the information that is
being presented and to ask the right questions about any conclusions that are drawn
from it.
5. Methodology
Data for this report were gathered from 21 December 2015 to 8 January 2016.
A questionnaire survey about the disease “Epilepsy” was carried out from 28
December 2015 to 8 January 2016. The questionnaires were distributed to a total of
250 students, which consists of 125 male students and 125 female students. Each of
us were responsible to survey 50 students which consist of 25 male and 25 female.
All the 250 female and male students did the questionnaires on paper. The
questionnaires were distributed to students from Taylor’s University Lakeside
Campus in the library and outside of the Student Life Central. These questionnaires
were distributed equally to get the correct statistics that is needed for this project.
After finishing the questionnaires, we separated the questionnaires to male
and female. Each of us analyze our own 50 survey forms and then we gathered all
the information together to make our statistics analysis for this report. We created
tables and tally chart to count the data collected so that they are accurate. We also
double checked the tallies to confirm the accuracy of the data. We calculated the
mode for each questions to know that which category of students understand better
on this disease. After we have finished analyzing the data collected, we concluded
that the female students are more understands than the male students on the diseases,
Epilepsy.

19. Conclusion
After we finished the survey, we acquired enough information to compare
which group of students understand better on epilepsy. Overall, we found that the
mode of more understanding on this disease is female, because the percentage of
female selected the correct answer is more than male. The average percentage of
chose the correct answer of male in these 18 questions is 64.67%, while female is
68.17%.
The correct definition of epilepsy is a condition that affects the brain and
causes repeated seizures and as you can see from the analysis above, the majority of
male and female selected the correctanswer, but the percentage of female is higher
