The document summarizes C-Change's efforts to promote HIV prevention in Lesotho through behavior and social change communication approaches. It discusses formative research conducted in Lesotho that found concurrency is common and influenced by cultural and social norms. The strategy involves using media and community networks to stimulate dialogue on challenging norms and behaviors that enable the spread of HIV, including multiple concurrent partnerships.

From 2008-2013, Oxfam’s Raising Her Voice (RHV) programme worked to create more effective governance systems by ensuring that women’s voices influence decisions about
services, investments, policies and legal frameworks, from community, through to national and regional levels. To date, over one million marginalised women in 17 countries, including Armenia,are estimated to have benefited from increased activism, leading to increased voice and influence, more effective engagement with targeted decision makers and greater institutional accountability.

1.1 A Blueprint for Ending Youth Homelessness
Speaker: Eric Rice
How do we end youth homelessness? This workshop will summarize research and examine an emerging typology that can be used to inform and appropriately scale interventions to end youth homelessness. Presenters will describe strategies that are working to help young people reconnect with family and other caring adults when appropriate, and prepare to transition successfully to independent living with housing and supportive services.

Social Progress Index 2014 - Country Scorecardssocprog
Each country measured by the Social Progress Index 2014 is more closely analyzed by comparing it to a cohort group of the 15 closest countries in terms of GDP. This allows us to identify areas of under and over performance as suggested by similar GDP, and begin more targeted conversations on the interventions necessary to improve performance.
Consistent Protocol, Unique Sites: Seeking Cultural Competence in a Multisite...Washington Evaluators

Evaluating one site of a federally funded, longitudinal, multi-site initiative to improve services for children with mental health issues and their families presents numerous challenges. Many individuals, particularly racial minorities, are understandably reluctant to participate or remain in an evaluation concerning such sensitive issues. Further, not all the sites fit neatly into the same “one size fits all” evaluation protocol that must be used at all the sites. Cultural competence is crucial regarding: (1) breaking the barriers to participation; (2) balancing the traditional perspectives of “informed consent” and “confidentiality” with those of the participants; (3) balancing the need for consistent measures in our national study with the local realities of our participants; (4) interpreting and reporting the results. Seeking input from stakeholders at each step of the evaluation helped us recognize and overcome these barriers, and attain equitable recruitment and retention rates among Caucasian and African-American participants.
Ladel Lewis received a B.A. in Criminal Justice from the University of Michigan in 2001 and a M.A. in Sociology in 2005 from Western Michigan University. Studying evaluation research under Dr. Chris Coryn at the Evaluation Center, she earned her Ph.D. in Sociology in 2012 at Western Michigan University. She has published journal articles across disciplines such as “User Perceptions of Accessible GPS as a Wayfinding Tool for Travelers with Visual Impairments” published in the AER Journal: Research and Practice in Visual Impairment and Blindness, “White Thugs & Black Bodies: A Comparison of the portrayal of African American Women in Hip-Hop Videos” published in the Hilltop Journal and “Lights, Camera Action: The Portrayal of African American Women In Hip Hop Videos” in the Call & Response Journal.

With 20 years of business experience and an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year award to his name, Glenn has seen a lot.
Known for his no-nonsense, straight talking, here are 20 of his most insightful quotes.
In response to a question from a colleague on RG's Glassdoor profile, we needed to check in on what our people stats - joiners and leavers look like. This deck tells the story
Project Meadow was the 18 month project to build Reward Gateway's new London hub. Designed as an agile workspace we replaced permanent desks with varied spaces for different types of work. The project's goal was to improve communication between teams, build social capital and create a welcoming place for clients, our HR Heroes, to come and collaborate.
The new site opened on 4th July 2016 and this slide deck shares some of the pictures of the new workspace.
There's a lot of nonsense talked about employee engagement and a lot of people think you can get it be throwing a few incentives around. They're wrong.
Ultimately employee engagement is simply a choice. It's a choice between how you want your organisation to thrive.
So ask yourself - do you want to engage your people or eliminate your people? It's up to you.

CEO Glenn Elliott's User Manual : A solution for poor employee trust?Reward Gateway
Inspired by a talk by Adam Bryant at the NY Times New Work Summit in 2016, our CEO, Glenn, produced his own "user manual" explaining what he values and believes in. He's exploring whether openness and communications between leadership and a company an help to bridge the employee trust gap. According to the 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer, half of employees think it is important that their CEO exhibits highly ethical behavior but only 25% believe that they see it.
It's another experiment in Glenn's ongoing project of being an accountable, honest, transparent and open leader. He'd love your thoughts and feedback and there are links in the slides.

Technology Use in Peer Education for HIV PreventionYTH
Join us for a discussion on how peer education can incorporate technology to engage youth and how the perspective of youth can be used to create state and federal policies. We will highlight two programs. One is a peer education program that uses social media to bring voice and perspective of youth into the conversation about addressing HIV. The other is an advocacy organization focused on making sure the needs of women living with and affected by HIV are addressed in the national response to HIV.

Title: Sense of Smell
Presenter: Dr. Faiza, Assistant Professor of Physiology
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.
Quality of a Good Odorant:
Small (3-20 Carbon atoms), volatile, water-soluble, and lipid-soluble.
Facilitated by odorant-binding proteins in mucus.
Membrane Potential and Action Potential:
Resting membrane potential: -55mV.
Action potential frequency in the olfactory nerve increases with odorant strength.
Adaptation Towards the Sense of Smell:
Rapid adaptation within the first second, with further slow adaptation.
Psychological adaptation greater than receptor adaptation, involving feedback inhibition from the central nervous system.
Primary Sensations of Smell:
Camphoraceous, Musky, Floral, Pepperminty, Ethereal, Pungent, Putrid.
Odor Detection Threshold:
Examples: Hydrogen sulfide (0.0005 ppm), Methyl-mercaptan (0.002 ppm).
Some toxic substances are odorless at lethal concentrations.
Characteristics of Smell:
Odor blindness for single substances due to lack of appropriate receptor protein.
Behavioral and emotional influences of smell.
Transmission of Olfactory Signals:
From olfactory cells to glomeruli in the olfactory bulb, involving lateral inhibition.
Primitive, less old, and new olfactory systems with different path

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.
