Iriss

1) The document summarizes diaries from social services practitioners about their emotional experiences on the job. It finds that emotions are mixed, complex, and driven by personal and environmental factors. Practitioners feel frustrated by workload but proud and rewarded when clients achieve outcomes. 2) Relationships with clients and colleagues affect emotions, while a lack of work-life balance and concerns over health contribute to feelings of worry and exhaustion. 3) The diaries provide a novel way of understanding the emotional labor of social work from the ground up and finding ways to better support practitioners.

Ian Cunningham and Colin Lindsay - frontline practitioner experiences

Iriss

The document summarizes findings from a study on the experiences of front-line social care workers in private, public, and voluntary sectors. Key themes identified included dissatisfaction with low pay and work-life imbalance due to long hours and unpredictable schedules. While relationships with colleagues and feelings of helping service users were rewarding parts of the job, challenges of high workload, understaffing, and limited opportunities for career progression or learning discouraged some workers. The study highlights areas for improvement such as increased wages, better work-life balance policies, consistent supervision, and developing stronger career paths to retain staff in the social care sector.

Lisa pattoni, national workforce survey

Iriss

The national workforce survey found: 1) Most respondents were between 45-54 years old, worked in the voluntary sector, and were motivated by a desire to make a difference. 2) The biggest challenges reported were funding cuts, high workload, and staff shortages. Most saw a reduction in social services and tension between needs and what can be delivered. 3) Respondents felt valued through good outcomes for those supported and positive feedback. Training opportunities also increased feelings of value, though concerns remained about pay and conditions.

Alan baird, chief social work adviser

Iriss

The document discusses the vision and strategy for social services in Scotland from 2015-2020. The vision is of a socially just Scotland with excellent social services delivered by a skilled and valued workforce. The strategy has four strands: strengthening the workforce, improving performance, better use of research evidence, and increasing public understanding of social services. Feedback was gathered from over 500 frontline practitioners through events to understand challenges and inform the strategy. Practitioners said what motivates them is making a difference, feeling valued, and autonomy in their work. They asked for more learning opportunities, clearer career paths, reduced administration, and effective leadership.

What are the different types of Dental implants.

Gokuldas Hospital

Are you looking for a long-lasting solution to your missing tooth? Dental implants are the most common type of method for replacing the missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants are surgically placed in the jawbone. In layman’s terms, a dental implant is similar to the natural root of the tooth. It offers a stable foundation for the artificial tooth giving it the look, feel, and function similar to the natural tooth.

biomechanics of running. Dr.dhwani.pptx

Dr. Dhwani kawedia

The biomechanics of running involves the study of the mechanical principles underlying running movements. It includes the analysis of the running gait cycle, which consists of the stance phase (foot contact to push-off) and the swing phase (foot lift-off to next contact). Key aspects include kinematics (joint angles and movements, stride length and frequency) and kinetics (forces involved in running, including ground reaction and muscle forces). Understanding these factors helps in improving running performance, optimizing technique, and preventing injuries.

Pharmacology of 5-hydroxytryptamine and Antagonist

Dr. Nikhilkumar Sakle

5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT or Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that serves a range of roles in the human body. It is sometimes referred to as the happy chemical since it promotes overall well-being and happiness. It is mostly found in the brain, intestines, and blood platelets. 5-HT is utilised to transport messages between nerve cells, is known to be involved in smooth muscle contraction, and adds to overall well-being and pleasure, among other benefits. 5-HT regulates the body's sleep-wake cycles and internal clock by acting as a precursor to melatonin. It is hypothesised to regulate hunger, emotions, motor, cognitive, and autonomic processes.

PGx Analysis in VarSeq: A User’s Perspective

Golden Helix

Since our release of the PGx capabilities in VarSeq, we’ve had a few months to gather some insights from various use cases. Some users approach PGx workflows by means of array genotyping or what seems to be a growing trend of adding the star allele calling to the existing NGS pipeline for whole genome data. Luckily, both approaches are supported with the VarSeq software platform. The genotyping method being used will also dictate what the scope of the tertiary analysis will be. For example, are your PGx reports a standalone pipeline or would your lab’s goal be to handle a dual-purpose workflow and report on PGx + Diagnostic findings. The purpose of this webcast is to: Discuss and demonstrate the approaches with array and NGS genotyping methods for star allele calling to prep for downstream analysis. Following genotyping, explore alternative tertiary workflow concepts in VarSeq to handle PGx reporting. Moreover, we will include insights users will need to consider when validating their PGx workflow for all possible star alleles and options you have for automating your PGx analysis for large number of samples. Please join us for a session dedicated to the application of star allele genotyping and subsequent PGx workflows in our VarSeq software.

Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga

GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS AND GASTRITIS Osvaldo Bernardo Muchanga Gastrointestinal Infections GASTROINTESTINAL INFECTIONS result from the ingestion of pathogens that cause infections at the level of this tract, generally being transmitted by food, water and hands contaminated by microorganisms such as E. coli, Salmonella, Shigella, Vibrio cholerae, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus, Rotavirus among others that are generally contained in feces, thus configuring a FECAL-ORAL type of transmission. Among the factors that lead to the occurrence of gastrointestinal infections are the hygienic and sanitary deficiencies that characterize our markets and other places where raw or cooked food is sold, poor environmental sanitation in communities, deficiencies in water treatment (or in the process of its plumbing), risky hygienic-sanitary habits (not washing hands after major and/or minor needs), among others. These are generally consequences (signs and symptoms) resulting from gastrointestinal infections: diarrhea, vomiting, fever and malaise, among others. The treatment consists of replacing lost liquids and electrolytes (drinking drinking water and other recommended liquids, including consumption of juicy fruits such as papayas, apples, pears, among others that contain water in their composition). To prevent this, it is necessary to promote health education, improve the hygienic-sanitary conditions of markets and communities in general as a way of promoting, preserving and prolonging PUBLIC HEALTH. Gastritis and Gastric Health Gastric Health is one of the most relevant concerns in human health, with gastrointestinal infections being among the main illnesses that affect humans. Among gastric problems, we have GASTRITIS AND GASTRIC ULCERS as the main public health problems. Gastritis and gastric ulcers normally result from inflammation and corrosion of the walls of the stomach (gastric mucosa) and are generally associated (caused) by the bacterium Helicobacter pylor, which, according to the literature, this bacterium settles on these walls (of the stomach) and starts to release urease that ends up altering the normal pH of the stomach (acid), which leads to inflammation and corrosion of the mucous membranes and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively. In addition to bacterial infections, gastritis and gastric ulcers are associated with several factors, with emphasis on prolonged fasting, chemical substances including drugs, alcohol, foods with strong seasonings including chilli, which ends up causing inflammation of the stomach walls and/or corrosion. of the same, resulting in the appearance of wounds and consequent gastritis or ulcers, respectively. Among patients with gastritis and/or ulcers, one of the dilemmas is associated with the foods to consume in order to minimize the sensation of pain and discomfort.
