This compilation of fairy tales is the result of youth exchange that took place in the little paradise that is Curaçao. Thirty two young people from very different countries met for nine days to learn deeper and sensibilise about gender equality. This topic is
trendy in all our societies, but in our generation we still have big gaps between different genders. So it is necessary that youth works for ending this problem. This structural problem is reflected in small details in our daily life. Even though we come
from very different backgrounds we have found similarities in the essence of this situation, the myths and legends that are reflection of our different identyties are full of the stereotipes that feed the inequality. That is why we have been working in a
new perspective of our fairy tales in order to make them more concious and more focused towards an inclussive education.
All our work is shown here and it has been illustrated with the drawings of the children from the FELIS foundation. FELIS is a wonderful space where Gerda Van Petersen has been working very hard to be able to give those children with the difficult childhood some skills and most off all love to grow in this world.
We want to thank organizations that have made posible this learning. Erasmus, Stichting FELIS, InoChange, FIFEDE, KIEC European Club, Gerda Van Petersen, Fokje Scgipper and our leaders and participants. It has been very enrichening and we
are coming back to our countries with a new perspective about equality, learning and sharing.
The book was created in frame of youth exchange "Stand together" with support from Erasmus+ program.
As soon as we had reached the station we checked our names on the
reservation chart. Soon the train reached the platform. We saw that the coach was already full. The train had started early in the morning from Gandhidham, in Kutch.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

Qualifications:
MBBS (Best Graduate, AIMC Lahore)
FCPS Physiology
ICMT, CHPE, DHPE (STMU)
MPH (GC University, Faisalabad)
MBA (Virtual University of Pakistan)
Learning Objectives:
Describe the primary categories of smells and the concept of odor blindness.
Explain the structure and location of the olfactory membrane and mucosa, including the types and roles of cells involved in olfaction.
Describe the pathway and mechanisms of olfactory signal transmission from the olfactory receptors to the brain.
Illustrate the biochemical cascade triggered by odorant binding to olfactory receptors, including the role of G-proteins and second messengers in generating an action potential.
Identify different types of olfactory disorders such as anosmia, hyposmia, hyperosmia, and dysosmia, including their potential causes.
Key Topics:
Olfactory Genes:
3% of the human genome accounts for olfactory genes.
400 genes for odorant receptors.
Olfactory Membrane:
Located in the superior part of the nasal cavity.
Medially: Folds downward along the superior septum.
Laterally: Folds over the superior turbinate and upper surface of the middle turbinate.
Total surface area: 5-10 square centimeters.
Olfactory Mucosa:
Olfactory Cells: Bipolar nerve cells derived from the CNS (100 million), with 4-25 olfactory cilia per cell.
Sustentacular Cells: Produce mucus and maintain ionic and molecular environment.
Basal Cells: Replace worn-out olfactory cells with an average lifespan of 1-2 months.
Bowman’s Gland: Secretes mucus.
Stimulation of Olfactory Cells:
Odorant dissolves in mucus and attaches to receptors on olfactory cilia.
Involves a cascade effect through G-proteins and second messengers, leading to depolarization and action potential generation in the olfactory nerve.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
2. There once was a monkey family who lived in the forest in Africa. In the forest, there were NO aeroplanes, NO MTR, NO buses, NO mini-buses, NO ferries, NO trams, NO Peak tram, NO taxis, and of course, NO helicopters! They travelled through the forest on foot! One day, the young female monkey, Abby, saw a group of people sitting inside a box with four wheels. She was amazed and went to find her brother Danny, to tell him.
3. “Hey, Danny”, she exclaimed. “I see something special, there is a box walking by itself!” Danny was really excited. The pair of young monkeys rushed off to see the box. Danny could hardly believe his eyes. When they got close to the mysterious box, Abby and Danny thought that it must be some kind of magic. They ran back to their parents to tell them what they had seen
4. Papa monkey laughed out loud when they told him. “My little kids, the moving box is called a CAR!” "WHAT is a CAR?” Abby and Danny asked together. Mama monkey explained that a car was a form of transport in the human world. It moves by the use of an engine. People sit in the car, and then the car will keep on moving and go wherever you want. Abby and Danny are both amazed by this story. Papa monkey can see their interest and has an idea!
5. Papa monkey explained that they can go and visit Monkey Uncle who lives in Hong Kong. Hong Kong has lots of different types of transport and the whole family can try them out!
