Photobucket is a photo and video sharing website launched in 2003. It has over 99 million users who use the site to share photos and videos, create group albums and slideshows, and edit photos. While the site allows for sharing and creativity, it also collects user information for marketing purposes and there are privacy concerns since anything posted can be viewed publicly. The target audience is typically younger users between 18-24 without college degrees.
Photobucket is a photo sharing and hosting website that was founded in 2003 and later acquired by Fox Interactive Media. It allows users to store and share photos, videos, and slideshows both publicly and privately. While encouraging creativity and social connections, it also collects user information for its own purposes. The site's primary audience is 18-24 year olds who are more engaged in social networking and sharing user-generated content than other major social media sites.
This document discusses the digital divide in Australia. It defines the digital divide as the gap between those who have access to digital technologies and the internet versus those who do not. Factors that can cause the digital divide include class, gender, age, and education. The digital divide is an issue because it can prevent some remote communities from accessing knowledge and modern services. Data from the Australian Bureau of Statistics shows that Indigenous Australians are less likely to own computers or have home internet access compared to non-Indigenous Australians. Potential solutions include improving access to technology and education. Bridging the digital divide will require efforts from both the government and willingness from the people.
This research report examines the information society and e-government services in developing countries. It analyzes three articles that study e-government implementation and sustainability in Tamil Nadu, India, the impact of IT education on women's workforce participation in Kenya, and the determinants of low ICT usage among low-income groups in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru. The report also includes analysis of an e-government article and YouTube video.
This document discusses vasopeptidase inhibition as a new direction in cardiovascular treatment. It describes the renin-angiotensin system and natriuretic peptide system, which are important regulators of blood pressure and vascular tone. A new class of drugs called vasopeptidase inhibitors simultaneously inhibit angiotensin-converting enzyme and neutral endopeptidase. These drugs have potential benefits for treating both hypertension and congestive heart failure by affecting both protective and harmful pathways. Clinical trials show vasopeptidase inhibitors lower blood pressure while preserving kidney function, representing a promising new antihypertensive treatment approach.

Marah adalah emosi alami yang bisa bersifat negatif jika tidak terkendali. Punca marah antara lain terancam, ditipu, atau tekanan yang melebihi kemampuan. Untuk menangani marah, seseorang dapat melakukan tiga cara yaitu melampiaskan secara terkendali, menahan sementara, atau menenangkan diri dengan teknik relaksasi.
A pharmacologist has several key roles:
1. Medical education - Teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students about rational drug use, effects, toxicity, and interactions.
2. Research - Conducting both basic and clinical research, ensuring adherence to guidelines for clinical trials and ethical reviews.
3. Regulatory affairs - Involved in essential drug lists, national drug policy, and regulatory bodies like drug authorities.
The document provides information on the management of chloroquine resistant malaria. It discusses the life cycle of malaria parasites, various antimalarial drugs including their mechanisms of action and treatment of chloroquine sensitive and resistant malaria. It summarizes that malaria is caused by Plasmodium parasites and transmitted by Anopheles mosquitoes. It affects over 500 million people annually, especially children in developing countries. Resistance to chloroquine, previously the first-line treatment, has emerged and led to the use of alternative antimalarial drugs.
The document discusses the history and development of thalidomide and its analogues. Thalidomide was originally introduced in the late 1950s as a sedative but was found to cause birth defects in thousands of children after being prescribed to pregnant women for morning sickness. This led to it being withdrawn in 1961. Researchers later discovered that thalidomide and its analogues have immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties, leading to FDA approval to treat cancers and inflammatory diseases. New analogues like lenalidomide and pomalidomide were developed that are more potent with fewer side effects.
Recent advances in antibacterials include several newly approved drugs and those in development. Oxazolidinones like linezolid and newer glycopeptides like telavancin are effective against resistant strains. Lipopeptides like daptomycin and ketolides provide alternatives. Newer carbapenems like ertapenem and doripenem have improved properties. The development pipeline remains limited due to high costs and resistance. Future targets may include virulence factors, host pathways, and antimicrobial peptides. Antibiotic stewardship programs aim to optimize use and minimize unintended consequences of resistance development.
This document summarizes the contributions of various scientists to the field of pharmacology. It discusses early pioneers like Hippocrates, Dhanvantari, and Paracelsus, as well as later scientists who made important discoveries, such as Rudolf Buchheim establishing the first pharmacology chair, Oswald Schmiedeberg founding modern pharmacology, John Jacob Abel giving pharmacology its name, and Otto Loewi proving chemical transmission of nerve impulses. It also discusses scientists like Alexander Fleming discovering penicillin, and Frederick Banting and Charles Best discovering insulin. Overall, the document provides a brief history of pharmacology and highlights some of the key figures and discoveries that advanced the field.
Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are monospecific antibodies produced by a single clone of cells. They have specific structures and functions that allow them to recognize antigens and induce immune responses. mAbs are produced using hybridoma technology and have evolved from murine to humanized and human forms to reduce immunogenicity. They are used widely in treatment of diseases like cancer, autoimmune disorders, transplant rejection and infections.
This document provides an overview of evidence-based medicine (EBM) presented by Dr. Harmanjit Singh. It begins with definitions of EBM and discusses its history from ancient Greek and Chinese medicine to its modern conception in the 1990s. The principles of EBM are explained, including formulating questions based on patient information and evaluating the best evidence from a hierarchy of studies. Critically appraising evidence and integrating it with clinical expertise and patient values are emphasized. Limitations of EBM are addressed.
