The Virtual International Day of the Midwife (VIDM) is an annual online event that provides opportunities for midwives to access the latest research and innovations, network, and engage in informal lifelong learning through social media platforms. The 2012 evaluation found that over 80 midwives from around the world participated via Facebook, Twitter, and Google Docs. While attendees enjoyed the sense of community and free learning opportunities, some noted needs for improved event information and presentation quality. Moving forward, the organizers aim to address barriers like digital literacy and reach more resource-poor areas, while exploring ways to better integrate with midwifery organizations and conduct impact research.
100715 Third Sector and social media - an updateMark Walker
I have been working with a variety of third sector orgs to review the role that social media can play in their work. This includes representatives of various local support and development organisations from across the south east who meet quarterly.
last quarter I ran a 90 minute introduction to social media. Last week I added a few details based on questions that had arisen since and led a really interesting discussion about what they may or may not do to adopt social media in their own work.
Since the last meeting five of the 12 people present had done something to get started with social media eg google alerts, signed up to Twitter, etc,

This presentation was given by Gabriella Oakley of Inspiring the Future, to delegates at the APM Women in Project Management SIG's annual conference 2015.
The conference, entitled 'Driving the future', was held at etc.venues Dexter House in London and saw some 170 delegates and was sponsored by BAE Systems.
The agenda was full of stimulating talks and interactive debate designed to facilitate knowledge-sharing and fresh insights for attendees.
Delegates will left the conference armed with new ideas for progressing their own careers and personal development and, of course, bursting with enthusiasm to promote the profession and encourage a new generation of project managers.
The objectives of the conference were:
- Reinforce the importance of women in project management
- Highlight the importance of women’s contribution to the economy through practical examples
- Provide opportunities for delegates to hear from leading professionals and to be inspired to drive the future in their own careers.
- Provide perspectives on what to ask of employers improve project delivery
- Provide food for thought for delegates to help them drive their own objectives and achieve their career goals

This Webinar was presented as the first in a series exploring issues important to youth mentoring programs on August 17, 2010. Social media and networking offer numerous ways to professionally engage with youth, serving both program needs and youth adaptability. However, technology can also bring up questions about safety, boundaries, and appropriateness. Social Media and Mentoring: Policies, Gaps, and Boundaries explores social media and networking options and provides space for dialogue to explore safety and ethical considerations.
How can CPAs use social media to build their practices? Become thought leaders? Engage customers and employees? Tom Hood, CPA,CITP,CGMA shares his experiences as one of the top social media leaders in the CPA Profession since he started with his blog in 2006. He updates us with real stories of CPAs and adds the latest research on social media. He also highlights more resources to get you started, including e-learning, and on-site training available from the Business Learning Institute (BLI).

Social media has been adopted by many (if not all) higher education institutions, but is still in it’s infancy. Social media is more than tweeting and wall posts. Learn how to develop a sustainable social media program which includes crisis management, governance, training, strategy development and more. In addition, learn how to get buy-in from the social media naysayers on campus.
The networked nurse: Using virtual communication systems for practice develop...Sarah Stewart
This is the presentation I gave at the Virtual Nurse Practice Development Conference on the 13th May 2015.
Many factors impact on the nurse's ability to develop practice. Lack of access to research, organisational barriers to implementation of evidence-based practice, managerial or even collegial constraints, as well as lack of personal critical-thinking and reflective skills. Developing virtual networks using online communication tools such as social media, and initiatives like the VIDPC allows nurses to break down traditional barriers to learning, and facilitates collaboration, sharing, scholarship and campaigns. Using examples from her own experience I will discuss how nurses can harness online networking for practice development at both individual and professional levels

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
