Assignment 1: Creative Expression for Transformation
Goal: Removing barriers to transformation yourself & in other people; Feel connection to interrelated web of life; Allowing yourself to become vulnerable and comfortable with expressing your subjective truth.
You select a theme that is linked to current events addressing a process of transformation and how it is playing out in a country.
Example topic: Challenge of Syrian refugees within the larger theme of forced migration and national borders
** Please contact the instructor with your topic idea before Week 4
** This will be the same theme you use for your Human Development Report (Assignment 5). Be sure to start exploring that early since that is a larger project.
Based on examples provided and ideas shared in the class videos, you will develop a creative expression (poetry, spoken word, song, visual art piece, etc ….) that encourages the progress you feel is needed in your selected country. This is your opportunity to get creative!
Hold up.. What am I submitting?
· Appropriate format of your art piece (e.g. video, audio…)
· Written reflection for each phase- submitted as a document with labeled 3 sections. The questions are just for guidance, please feel free to write with your own flow. But take the time to critically reflect on the points we’ve raised.
Part 1. Reflection
Pre- Engagement Written Reflection (1-2 pages)
Many of our social systems have remained stagnant and resistant to the large-scale transformations needed to address the roots of our sustainability challenges. Reflect deeply on the following questions as they apply to your chosen topic.
Societal Level Transformations:
· What are the major systems at play in your case (think in the different categories of social, economic, ecological, etc…)?
· What is the desired form of transformation you’re hoping for in your case?
· What is causing the systems to stay stagnant and resistant to the type of change you feel is needed?
· What is the logic/mechanism of control of the systems in your case?
· How can we harness our creative powers to transcend limitations of the current state of the system?
· For example, capitalism has kept us fixed in the money economy… systems of trading services or subsistence farming become an act of resistance to the current system and provide an alternative.
· What is the role of complexity, uncertainty, and destruction in the process of creativity and transforming a new alternative system?
Individual Level Transformations:
· How do you relate to your case?
· Are there transformations that you believe can happen at the individual scale?
· How about the idea of “adding” and “removing” for sustainability that was discussed in the class videos?
· For example, The idea behind this is that we often get trapped in the idea of unlimited growth and development, the need to have more material progress. Rather, an alternative perspective shows that we have everything we already need .

Antibiotic Stewardship by Anushri Srivastava.pptxAnushriSrivastav
Stewardship is the act of taking good care of something.
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
WHO launched the Global Antimicrobial Resistance and Use Surveillance System (GLASS) in 2015 to fill knowledge gaps and inform strategies at all levels.
ACCORDING TO apic.org,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a coordinated program that promotes the appropriate use of antimicrobials (including antibiotics), improves patient outcomes, reduces microbial resistance, and decreases the spread of infections caused by multidrug-resistant organisms.
ACCORDING TO pewtrusts.org,
Antibiotic stewardship refers to efforts in doctors’ offices, hospitals, long term care facilities, and other health care settings to ensure that antibiotics are used only when necessary and appropriate
According to WHO,
Antimicrobial stewardship is a systematic approach to educate and support health care professionals to follow evidence-based guidelines for prescribing and administering antimicrobials
In 1996, John McGowan and Dale Gerding first applied the term antimicrobial stewardship, where they suggested a causal association between antimicrobial agent use and resistance. They also focused on the urgency of large-scale controlled trials of antimicrobial-use regulation employing sophisticated epidemiologic methods, molecular typing, and precise resistance mechanism analysis.
Antimicrobial Stewardship(AMS) refers to the optimal selection, dosing, and duration of antimicrobial treatment resulting in the best clinical outcome with minimal side effects to the patients and minimal impact on subsequent resistance.
According to the 2019 report, in the US, more than 2.8 million antibiotic-resistant infections occur each year, and more than 35000 people die. In addition to this, it also mentioned that 223,900 cases of Clostridoides difficile occurred in 2017, of which 12800 people died. The report did not include viruses or parasites

Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis (DVT): Meaning, Causes, Symptoms, Treatment, and Mor...The Lifesciences Magazine
Deep Leg Vein Thrombosis occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the legs. These clots can impede blood flow, leading to severe complications.
Defecation
Normal defecation begins with movement in the left colon, moving stool toward the anus. When stool reaches the rectum, the distention causes relaxation of the internal sphincter and an awareness of the need to defecate. At the time of defecation, the external sphincter relaxes, and abdominal muscles contract, increasing intrarectal pressure and forcing the stool out
The Valsalva maneuver exerts pressure to expel faeces through a voluntary contraction of the abdominal muscles while maintaining forced expiration against a closed airway. Patients with cardiovascular disease, glaucoma, increased intracranial pressure, or a new surgical wound are at greater risk for cardiac dysrhythmias and elevated blood pressure with the Valsalva maneuver and need to avoid straining to pass the stool.
Normal defecation is painless, resulting in passage of soft, formed stool
CONSTIPATION
Constipation is a symptom, not a disease. Improper diet, reduced fluid intake, lack of exercise, and certain medications can cause constipation. For example, patients receiving opiates for pain after surgery often require a stool softener or laxative to prevent constipation. The signs of constipation include infrequent bowel movements (less than every 3 days), difficulty passing stools, excessive straining, inability to defecate at will, and hard feaces
IMPACTION
Fecal impaction results from unrelieved constipation. It is a collection of hardened feces wedged in the rectum that a person cannot expel. In cases of severe impaction the mass extends up into the sigmoid colon.
DIARRHEA
Diarrhea is an increase in the number of stools and the passage of liquid, unformed feces. It is associated with disorders affecting digestion, absorption, and secretion in the GI tract. Intestinal contents pass through the small and large intestine too quickly to allow for the usual absorption of fluid and nutrients. Irritation within the colon results in increased mucus secretion. As a result, feces become watery, and the patient is unable to control the urge to defecate. Normally an anal bag is safe and effective in long-term treatment of patients with fecal incontinence at home, in hospice, or in the hospital. Fecal incontinence is expensive and a potentially dangerous condition in terms of contamination and risk of skin ulceration
HEMORRHOIDS
Hemorrhoids are dilated, engorged veins in the lining of the rectum. They are either external or internal.
FLATULENCE
As gas accumulates in the lumen of the intestines, the bowel wall stretches and distends (flatulence). It is a common cause of abdominal fullness, pain, and cramping. Normally intestinal gas escapes through the mouth (belching) or the anus (passing of flatus)
FECAL INCONTINENCE
Fecal incontinence is the inability to control passage of feces and gas from the anus. Incontinence harms a patient’s body image

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The
