If you had five minutes with a user of your product or service what would you ask him or her? Would you even know how to approach that person? Or who to ask? What makes a good interview anyway? Interviewing is both an art and a science, but often, both are overlooked. Taking time to ask the right questions reveals insights into the experiences we design. Everyone is has a story to tell, and everyone has insight that can inform your product, website, or service experience. But if we don’t ask good questions, we’ll lose the valuable input coming directly from the people we’re designing for.
Whether formal or informal, on a shoestring or a big budget, this workshop will give you concrete strategies for conducting interviews to get results you can use. Learn strategies for asking good questions, how to listen (more challenging than you think), get interview technology you need, and find out what the experts are doing in the field. Walk away with practical experience you can use the very same day to inform the products you’re creating.

...say it, Most presentations are divided into 3 main parts (+ questions):
INTRODUCTION
BODY
CONCLUSION
Questions
As a general rule in communication, repetition is valuable. In presentations, there is a golden rule about repetition:
Say what you are going to say,
say it,
then say what you have just said.
In other words, use the three parts of your presentation to reinforce your message. In the introduction, you tell your audience what your message is going to be. In the body, you tell your audience your real message. In the conclusion, you summarize what your message was.
We will now consider each of these parts in more detail

ASSIGNMENT 1 - PART 1 FIVE WISHES”When you are working on this.docxpetuniahita
ASSIGNMENT 1 - PART 1: “FIVE WISHES”
When you are working on this assignment, it is important that you are a hundred percent truthful to yourself. This assignment is to help you know yourself better and take action steps towards your goals.
Question: Imagine you are on your deathbed tonight or some fifty years from now. I stand by your deathbed and look you right in the eyes and ask you the following question, ‘What would be the things you’d wish had happened that would have made your life a success to you?’ (For example, J. Paul Getty, who at the time was the wealthiest man in the world, said on his deathbed that he’d gladly give up all his millions for one experience of marital happiness.). Please write down five wishes (If you have more than five, you are welcome to write down those as well).
Please note that the bigger the question, the more important it is for you to answer it right away. This moment is all the time you need to answer this question.
When you are writing down your wishes, put them in the perspective of your deathbed, and, therefore, put them in the past tense. As you note down each of your wishes, also write down the reasons why each wish is important to you. Once you write down your wishes and why they are important to you, turn your wishes into goals by putting them in the present tense as if they are happening at this moment. Once you put down your goals, think of whether these are the things that you really want, things you are willing to commit yourself to, body and soul. Then, write down your commitment to realizing your wishes.
Also, please make sure that your wishes are as specific as you can make them be.
Here is an example below. Please feel free to follow the same format as you are working on the assignment.
Example:
WISH # 1
Wish #1: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d a job that I genuinely loved.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 1: My life is a total success because I’m now thriving in a job that I genuinely love and that gives me so much joy, happiness, satisfaction, and opportunity to help and contribute to the lives of others.
WISH # 2
Wish # 2: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d found my love mate/soul mate.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 2: My life is a total success because I’m now thriving in a loving relationship with my love mate/ soul mate.
WISH # 3
Wish # 3: For my life to have been a success, I wish I’d explored all my strengths, skill sets, and areas I am passionate about and utilized these to contribute to the human kind.
Here are the reasons why this wish is important to me… [Put your reasons here]
Goal # 3: My life is a total success because I’ve been identifying and living out all my strengths, skill sets, and areas I am passionate about and utilizing them to contribute to the human kind.

"I feel as though I've wasted my life,andI'm half way through it, they said.” I don't know what my life is all about. I was privileged to go to Yale, and we were standing on a summer evening
in the middle of Yale's old campus, and the people that I was speaking with were privileged, and highly educated, and financially well off, and in positions of power. And they had the first house, and the second house, and they had the first spouse, and the second spouse..
We still got jobs, we were living our lives expensively, with life's ups and downs, and we did not feel that we had wasted a single minute. And as I spoke with the 20%, the happier 20%, I discovered that each of them knew something about their life purpose because they knew five things:

MANAGEMENT OF ATRIOVENTRICULAR CONDUCTION BLOCK.pdfJim Jacob Roy
Cardiac conduction defects can occur due to various causes.
Atrioventricular conduction blocks ( AV blocks ) are classified into 3 types.
This document describes the acute management of AV block.
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.
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.

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.

Brief Therapy Question Utilization: Process Informed
Evidence
Jeffrey Cotton, MS, LMFT, LMHC
Ron Chenail, Ph D
Florida Association for Marriage and Family Therapy: May 15, 2010
2. Workshop Objectives
• Explore the relationship between
problem and solution-focused talk.
• Understand how SFBT questions
serve as interventions.
• Learn how to analyze a SFBT
session.
3. Solution-Focused Brief
Therapy (SFBT): Overview
• Founded in 1982:
– Berg, de Shazer, and colleagues.
• Scaling, exception, coping,
relationship, and the miracle
question.
• Builds on what is working for
clients.
• Focuses on strengths and
resources.
4. Recursive Frame Analysis
(RFA) Project History
• Began as a class assignment under Dr.
Chenail, 2006.
• Member checked with Insoo Kim
Berg, 2006.
• Accepted for publication, 2010:
– The Qualitative Report.
5. Purpose
• Lack of process research.
• Investigate how SFBT language influences the session.
• Provide Qualitative Process Informed Evidence.
7. When Paying Attention to
Process…
• Researchers confirm SFBT
questions and formulations are
positive.
• Researchers make explicit how
language influences direction.
• Researchers expose what happens.
8. What Constitutes Process
Informed Evidence?
• Discursive moves between participants.
– Questions, formulations, and responses.
– Discourse markers, overlapping speech, etc.
• Discourse accepted as Common Ground.
• The tenets of SFBT embedded as presuppositions.
10. Research Paradigm: Recursive
Frame Analysis (RFA)
• RFA- a method for observation,
interpretation, and analysis.
• Researchers note patterns by
investigating interactional
sequences.
• Investigators develop an
illustration of categorized data.
• Conversation displayed as
frames, galleries, and wings.
11. RFA (continued)
• Describe the relationship
among categories.
• Recursively organizes
communication for
examination.
• Understanding client’s
responses in relationship to
questions.
12. Rich Data
• Single case study
• Published video: Initial full-length
session of Berg.
• Conversation focused on the marital
relationship.
• Both video and transcript were
investigated.
13. Rich Data (continued)
• Organization of transcribed video:
– Word and PowerPoint.
• Berg’s comments tracked:
– Openings, frames, galleries, and wings.
• Berg’s questions punctuated as openings.
14. Researchers Must Ask
Themselves Good Questions
• How does Berg’s language influence conversation?
– Lexical choice, presuppositions, turn taking moves, etc.
• How is the client influenced by Berg’s questions?
– Solution oriented responses, exceptions to the problem, etc.
15. Main Assumption
• The use of solution-focused language and questions
influences the client to respond with solution-oriented
language.
16. Operational Definition:
Opening
• Opening: A question that requests an answer.
– Based upon difference, relationships, exceptions, and
presuppositions.
17. Operational Definition: Frame
• Frame: The context of talk a client and therapist
offer one another.
– Problem talk or solution talk?

Difference: Presuppositions
• 001. TH 1: Um, let me ask you, what DO you suppose that needs to be
different in your life that WILL let you know that it was a good thing that
you came and talked to me today?
• What = something
• Suppose = imagine; possibility
• Needs = essential; important
• Be different = change
• Life = existence
• Know = understand
• Good thing = positive experience
• Came and talked = effort and communicate
• Today = present

suppose you are calm. [CL Mhm] You
say, oh well. You know one of those
things in life [CL Mhm] and be able to go
on. [CL Mhm] I guess that's what you're
talking about.
018. CL 9: Right, right.
019. TH 10: Instead of being frantic, you
just say, okay, well, [CL Right] you know,

a lot of self-control.
023. TH 12: Self-control.
024. CL 12: Yeah, um, that's one thing I
probably lack the most.
025. TH 13: Okay.
026. CL 13: Um, I'd, uh, um, I'd be easy
going. I wouldn't constantly be thinking all
the time, and, um, it would just be matter
of fact, you know. I wouldn't be over-
analyzing situations.
027. TH 14: Ah, okay, okay.
028. CL 14: I seem to be very analytical.
029. TH 15: Okay. So, what would you

be over-analyzing situations.
027. TH 14: Ah, okay, okay.

instead of analyzing then, when you get to
that point?

wind and not worry about it.
031. TH 16: And say, oh well, that's life. That's
what you would say?
032. CL 16: Right.
033. TH 17: Oh well, that's how it goes.
034. CL 17: Yeah.
035. TH 18: And just may be able to move on
with your life.
036. CL 18: Right, and not think that, that it's
going to be the end of the world, you know.
Tomorrow's a new day.
037. TH 19: Okay.
038. CL 19: I sometimes look at a situation and
study it too much and think that my whole world
revolves around the decision that I make or how I
react. When, in essence, it doesn't.
33. Gallery 4:
Instead of Analyzing, Robin
Will Throw it Up to the Wind.

Mhm] What would people around
you notice different about Robin
that would let them know, "Ah, she
is able to let things blow into the
wind and then go on with her life?"
040. CL 20: They would probably say
that I'm finally growing up. (laughter)
041. TH 21: Okay, okay.
042. CL 21: Um, they'd say that I was
more easy going, [TH Easy going],

44. Findings
• Berg’s SFBT questions serve as interventions.
• Consistent recursive patterns were noted.
• SFBT questions are not neutral but are direct.
45. Discussion
• The accuracy of Berg’s application of solution-focused
techniques is confirmed.
• These findings can assist other researchers.
• This study demonstrates how one can evaluate a session.
• It is this type of process research that SFBT needs.
