This document provides an introduction and background on adolescents' health in Nepal. It discusses that adolescents face significant sexual and reproductive health challenges due to lack of knowledge and services. While awareness of issues like HIV is high, comprehensive knowledge and modern contraceptive use is low. As a result, adolescents experience high rates of STIs, early pregnancy, and other poor health outcomes. The document establishes the need to improve access to adolescent-friendly health services in Nepal in order to address this unmet need and burden of poor sexual and reproductive health among adolescents.

This document discusses strengthening community health ecosystems. It outlines a 5-step process:
1. Set target health outcomes
2. Understand existing community health components and how they currently deliver outcomes
3. Diagnose priorities by identifying bottlenecks in the current ecosystem and required domains of action (agency, access, resources)
4. Develop or strengthen programs to address priorities
5. Implement, monitor, and evaluate programs, setting target outcomes

Cornelio_The Role of early care educatorsLila Life
This document discusses the role of early care educators in increasing health literacy to prevent childhood obesity. It finds that 1 in 5 children are overweight or obese, and early care educators can influence children's health literacy and obesity-related behaviors. The socioecological model shows that a child's social and physical environment affects their health decisions. The document argues that early care educators are well-positioned to positively impact children's health habits and literacy through improved nutrition education, parent engagement, and culturally-competent messaging and resources. With proper training, early educators can establish healthy foundations to prevent obesity and its long-term negative health consequences.

Algunas obras representativas incluyen la Villa Farnesina, el Palacio Mass
Software Security Assurance for DevOps - Hewlett Packard Enterprise + Black DuckBlack Duck by Synopsys
Presented August 11, 2016 by Michael Right, Senior Product Manager, HPE Security Fortify; Mike Pittenger, VP of Security Strategy, Black Duck.
Open source software is an integral part of today’s technology ecosystem, powering everything from enterprise and mobile applications to cloud computing, containers and the Internet of Things.
While open source offers attractive economic and productivity benefits for application development, it also presents organizations with significant security challenges. Every year, thousands of new open source security vulnerabilities – such as Heartbleed, Venom and Shellshock – are reported. Unfortunately, many organizations lack visibility into and control of their open source. Addressing this challenge is vital for ensuring security in applications and containers.
Whether you’re building software for customers or for internal use, the majority of the code is likely open source and securing it is no easy task. In this session, you’ll learn about:
• The evolving DevOps and software security assurance lifecycle in the age of open source
• The software security considerations CISOs, security, and development teams must address when using open source
• An automated approach to identifying vulnerabilities and managing software security assurance for custom and open source code.

The team designed a home-scale solar-powered food dehydrator for Ghana that meets design criteria of costing less than $50, being suitable for drying mango and pineapple, and powered by renewable resources. The prototype uses an aluminum mesh, plastic lid, solar fan, wood frame, and can dry 2 fruits per day for over 10 years. Testing showed the design successfully dried mango slices, and economic analysis found the dehydrator would pay for itself in less than 2 weeks. Further design improvements and testing are recommended.
O petróleo forma-se a partir de restos orgânicos enterrados por milhares de anos, possui composição de carbono e hidrogênio, e é usado para gerar gasolina e diversos outros derivados importantes. Os maiores produtores mundiais estão localizados no Oriente Médio.

The document investigates the response of tropical cyclone activity and frequency to different perturbed climates using an aquaplanet configuration of a global climate model with 50-km horizontal resolution. It compares the direct response to solar and carbon dioxide forcing, sea surface temperature changes, and the combined response in slab-ocean model simulations. The results suggest that tropical cyclone frequency changes are greater in magnitude for increased carbon dioxide forcing compared to increased solar forcing, despite both having similar global-mean radiative forcing.

The PDRI provides a standardized method to score industrial projects on scope definition completeness using a 1000 point scale. It evaluates projects across 70 elements organized in sections, categories, and elements.
Scoring involves assigning a definition level from 0 to 5 to each element based on its description, with 1 being complete and 5 being incomplete. Most elements have pre-assigned point values for each definition level. Scores are added at the category and section levels to obtain a total project score.
A low total PDRI score below 200 points indicates well-defined scope and predicts higher likelihood of project success, while a high score above 200 points flags risk areas needing further definition work. The scoring process provides a quantitative measure of scope

This document provides an overview of population health and public health principles and practices. It discusses key concepts like the three levels of prevention (primary, secondary, tertiary), levels of population-based interventions (individual, community, systems), and the core functions and 10 essential services of public health (assessment, policy development, assurance, system management). The goals are to improve population health through evidence-based and multilevel strategies, and to establish standards and processes to continuously improve public health performance and outcomes.

This document summarizes a gender-informed program called "What Were We Thinking" that aims to prevent postnatal mental health problems in women. It discusses the partnership between Monash University and Jean Hailes for Women's Health that generates and translates knowledge on this topic. It also provides information on prevalence of postnatal mental disorders, risk factors, existing prevention approaches, and describes the psychoeducational program components and evaluation through a randomized controlled trial. Translations for health professionals and consumers are discussed, along with strategies for sustainability.
As health care and financing systems become more sophisticated, health care systems are increasingly using a process known as "risk tiering" to group patients with similar degrees of need for health care and care coordination services. Families and care providers of children with chronic and complex conditions should understand the risk tiering process, as it may affect access to services these children need.
I wanted to raise awareness of this council. We are a local voice to the school board. Please feel free to let me know if you would like something presented to the council for discussion.
This document discusses initiatives by the Lake Superior Quality Innovation Network (QIN) and partners to improve diabetes management and outcomes. The QIN aims to increase referrals to diabetes self-management education (DSME) programs and expand existing DSME workshops across Michigan with a goal of 4,200 Medicare beneficiary graduates by 2019. The Area Agencies on Aging Association of Michigan is working to expand two evidenced-based programs, including the Diabetes PATH program, through local agencies to empower older adults to better manage their diabetes. Marketing strategies include flyers, posters, and toolkits to raise awareness of DSME programs and encourage provider referrals.

coordinator, but the community doesn’t
know about them because of the difficulty in
getting the word out…”

those rural areas have the lowest SES”

patient for 8 minutes.”
54
55. Barriers

we have an application and knowledge
gap.”

trust between minorities and institutions.”
