Legislations enacted for Empowerment of Women and the statistics relating to crimes against women for creating awareness among public including students, professional, academicians with a view to recognize, secure and safeguard the rights and interests of women by all and to cherish the noble ideals incorporated in Indian Constitution and to establish egalitarian society.
Abused No More:The Voices of Refugee and Asylum-seeking Women is a three-year Comic Relief and Matrix Chambers funded project. This is a user-led skills development and research programme that leads to the design and piloting of an evidence-based, user-led training and awareness raising programme for professionals and service providers focusing on the impact of gender-related violence on refugee and asylum-seeking women (RASW) and the need for a gender-sensitive treatment of this group.
The information provided in this presentation is intended for all practitioners who work with refugee and asylum-seeking women. Although the main areas of concern as identified by refugee women are health and legal services, the manual may be used by other professionals as well, as it covers basic facts on gender-based violence and asylum system in the UK.

HEATHER HAYES AND HOLLY RYAN - HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT: WORKING WITH VICTIMS OF...iCAADEvents
The International Labour Organization estimates that there are 20.9 million victims of human tra cking globally. Every country in the world is impacted by human tra cking and communities across the globe are changed forever as humans are sold into slavery, sexually exploited, and die in captivity. This 21st century slave trade feeds a global demand for cheap and vulnerable labour. In fact, the United Nations estimates that this multi- billion dollar industry is the third largest source of revenue for organized crime. Victims of tra cking often endure brutal conditions that results in physical, emotional, and psychological trauma. Victims are isolated from friends and family, subdued with drugs, and forced to live and work in unsanitary conditions. This presentation will provide clinicians with the knowledge on tra cking and give specifc tools that can be used to identify, intervene upon, and treat victims and survivors.
The issue of asylum is arguably one of the most politicised in Australia and elsewhere. Critics argue for a strict distinction between legal and illegal immigration, while supporters of the right to asylum highlight human rights abuses, war, and starvation as legitimate reasons for benevolence. States over the last two decades have increased the policing of borders, detention and deportation of would-be refugees. We shall examine the various approaches to the debate situating it within a view on globalization that highlights the apparently unstoppable flow of humans and the possible futility of borders in a transnational age defined by risk, uncertainty and the human instinct for survival.

Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex System Analysis, S...Oleg Kshivets
RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.
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

5. Trafficking in Persons
• The recruitment, transportation, transfer,
harbouring or receipt of persons, by means of
the threat or use of force or other forms of
coercion, of abduction, of fraud, of deception,
of the abuse of power or of a position of
vulnerability or of the giving or receiving of
payments or benefits to achieve the consent
of a person having control over another
person, for the purpose of exploitation.
Exploitation shall include, at a minimum, the
exploitation of the prostitution of others or
other forms of sexual exploitation, forced
labour or services, slavery or practices similar
to slavery, servitude or the removal of organs
6. Slavery
• The condition of a person over whom
any or all of the powers attaching to the
right of ownership are exercised,
including where such a condition results
from a debt or contract made by the
person.
• A social and economic relationship
marked by the loss of free will where
a person is forced through violence or
threat of violence to give up the ability
to sell freely his/her own labour power.
7. Slavery-like Practices
• Forced labour - All work or service that is exacted
from any person under the menace of any penalty
and for which the said person has not offered himself
or herself voluntarily
• Debt Bondage - The status or condition arising from a
pledge by a debtor of his personal services or of
those of a person under his control as security for a
debt, if the value of those services as reasonably
assessed is not applied towards the liquidation of the
debt or the length and nature of those services are
not respectively limited and defined
8. Forced Marriage
• Marriage that is not freely and fully consented to
because of the use of coercion, threat or deception.
• The new offences relate to adults as well as children
who are forced into marriage by either the person
they are marrying or another person, such as a
parent.
• The amendments apply to marriages that occur in
Australia, as well as to marriages that occur in
another country that involve Australian citizens.

10. Modern-Day Slavery:
A Prison Without Walls
Shackles and chains have been replaced by:
• Debt-bondage
• Threats of deportation
• Withholding of documents
• Threats to family members in home country
• Isolation
• Verbal abuse, humiliation
• Psychological coercion is often coupled with
threatened or actual physical violence and
sexual assault
12. Statistics
Some guesstimates of the scope of the problem
• 2 million people trafficked worldwide annually
(United Nations)
• 27 million people in slavery around the world
(Free the Slaves)
• 30 billion dollars of profits annually (United
Nations)
• 12 million people in forced labour (Int’l Labour
Org)
17. Policy Focus

be heroic; to transcend circumstances, to
develop one’s powers, to overcome adversity,
to stand up and be counted.”
Dennis Saleebey, 2005.
Human Trafficking is commonly referred to as modern-day slavery..
The face of modern-day slavery is a different one than the old form of chattel slavery, characterized by physical chains and forced removal that dominated the transatlantic slave trade .
Rather it is a prison with no walls, in which the tactics used are more underhanded and involve psychological coercion in the form of
We now see threats of deportation, often victims do not know they are in the country illegally so they are told that after and that in the process the authorities will hold them in jail, and abuse them.
Often, victims have their passports and papers confiscated as a control mechanism
Traffickers often control victim’s communication with family members, not allowing phone calls or mail to be received
Verbal abuse is often used as a way to deplete their self-esteem
Physical violence and sexual assault are also common elements in these types of situations.
