Kenyans decry incessant corruption but reluctant to report incidentsAfrobarometer
In the second release of Afrobarometer Round 6 results on corruption, Two-Thirds (64%) in Kenya say that the level of corruption in the country has increased somewhat or a lot in the past year. See more in this presentation.
Getting behind the wheel after several shots of your favorite alcohol is a move you should never think of doing. For one, driving under the influence of alcohol is a crime. When the alcohol level in your blood reaches a level of at least 0.08 percent, you are no longer allowed to step inside any vehicle.
Drunk driving causes endless fatalities due to the effects of alcohol in a person's body: slow reaction time, lack of coordination, inability to make decisions, decreased vision, and reduced concentration. If you want to spare your life and the lives of others while driving, consider taking this concept seriously.

Driving Safely in Maryland: Teens & SeniorsSteve Heisler
Unique considerations influence driving safety for seniors and teens in Maryland. Understanding the risk factors for each demographic can aid awareness and promote driving safety.
Transportation is often a necessity, but does not have to be the third largest piece of American' budgets. Improving personal financial planning and business financial management ideally takes as many transportation factors and scenarios in to account, and then adjusts them accordingly. This involves a close look at driving habits, equipment, travel routes and modes of transport.
National Teen Driver Safety Week is October 21st-27th. At Shapiro & Sternlieb, LLC, we know how devastating car accidents can be. We want to remind parents how important it is to teach their young driver’s safe habits. In this presentation, we highlight some relevant accident statistics and discuss safe driving behaviors.
The Numbers Don’t Lie When It Comes to Driving DistractedMelaniPorter
At the NAPT Summit and NASDPTS Annual Meeting in Kansas City on Monday, the acting chairman of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) Christopher A. Hart discussed, among other things, the dangers of distracted driving.
Over 37,000 people die in road crashes in the U.S. each year, with an additional 2.35 million suffering injuries and disabilities. Negligence is at the root of many auto accidents. Find out the leading causes of auto accidents.
Every year we look back to see where we can improve our lives. One of the most dangerous part of our lives is driving the roads that connect us to the world. For most of us this is a risk that we cannot completely avoid. However, there are things that each of us can do to reduce this hazard.
This presentation will cover the importance of energy management strategies in today’s market; how to accomplish and stabilize pricing and purchasing of fuels; and how infrastructure plays a role in today’s markets.

Bus Customer Information Systems: MTA ’s BusTime Pilot Program
Presented by Sunil Nair, Senior Director, Bus Customer Information Systems, MTA
MTA BusTime represents a big step forward in how the MTA delivers technology to its customers.
Join MTA’s Sunil Nair for a discussion on the MTA’s new pilot project, currently in operation on the B63 route in Brooklyn. The program uses Global Positioning System (GPS) hardware and wireless
communications technology to track the real-time location of buses. Sunil will explain how the MTA developed the system, which allows riders to find the real-time location of buses that will arriveat their stop, and is accessible via a desktop web map, a mobile web site on iPhone, Android, BlackBerry, or other smartphones, and via SMS on all mobile phones.
This public system utilizes cost sharing across many fronts; including NE MT/
public coordination; incorporation of existing ARC routes to expand public
system; cooperative cost sharing with ARC, city and county for bus shelter;
and by incorporating private sector needs into public system through
underwriting agreements.
Lessons Learned in Transit Efficiencies, Revenue Generation, and Cost Reductions
Presented by: Joel Volinski, Director, National Center for Transit Research, University of South Florida
Over the years, transit systems have responded to budget challenges by becoming more diligent
and creative in developing ways to generate non-traditional revenues and to reduce costs without raising fares or cutting service. Mr. Volinski will discuss a project, first reported on in 1996, whose objective was to collect innovative ideas from transit agencies throughout the country. The ideas collected were then synthesized and redistributed to transit agencies throughout the nation, allowing all agencies to have the potential to replicate successful techniques. Mr. Volinski will also provide a sampling of the 200 successful ideas that have been put in place in dozens of transit agencies across the country.
NFTA Metro Route Restructuring
Presented by: James Morrell, Manager, Service Planning, NFTA
Hal Morse, Executive Director, Greater Buffalo-Niagara Region Transportation Council
The Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA) implemented a major route restructuring
initiative on October 31, 2010; a plan which required extensive organizational planning and community participation. The restructuring included adjusting service levels to make the entire system more efficient and increase passenger revenues. Buses now run more frequently over the heaviest used routes, and less frequently over lesser-used portions. This presentation will outline the steps needed to restructure service to be more efficient and cost effective.
Public transit has a positive impact on the environment and is as socially responsible as recycling and energy conservation in your home. This presentation will focus on making your ridership aware of the importance of public transit to the
environment and their communities.
Maintaining and Improving Rural Transit Supply in an Era of Cost-Cutting
Presented by: Matthew W. Daus, Esq., Distinguished Lecturer, City College, University of New York, University
Transportation Research Center, Region II
James Cooper, PhD, Head of the Taxi Studies Group, Edinburgh Napier University
In this session, Mr. Daus and Dr. Cooper will address research completed on the supply of transit services, including paratransit use in mainstream transport provision in rural communities. Evidence will be presented from US and European locations, including the application of a shared
transit scheme using a wide range of optimized supply including Demand Responsive Transportation (DRT) and taxi operations. The presentation will also address how the research has demonstrated that bringing bookings and trips together allows authorities and suppliers to reduce costs, effectively maintaining a service with reduced costs, and/or enhancing services.
The world has been watching China’s economic growth and Shanghai is at the center of it all. With over 20 million in population, the Shanghai Bus Company is the largest in the world with over 1100 routes and the Shanghai Metro, that just opened its first line in 1995, will be the largest system in the world by 2012 with 20 lines and 345 stations. Shanghai has embraced new pathways to success in transporting the overwhelming population by staying on the cutting edge of technology and services. This efficiently
planned transportation system has strengthened the economic, social, and environmental sustainability of Shanghai. In this session you will learn the best practices that keep Shanghai residents moving.
Erin Mitchell, Associate State Director, American Association of Retired
Persons (AARP)
Designing Homes, Communities and Transit for an Aging Population: AARP will
highlight recent successes in New York communities that help people age in place. Aging in place is the ability to stay in your home and community as long as possible and avoid costly institutions. The three main design features are Complete Streets, Universal Design and Transit Efficient Development. Town, county, state and federal government all have a role to play in helping to shape the future landscape of New York; whether it is our roadways, transit, sidewalks, bicycle lanes, homes with no step entries, and wider doorways. Come hear about how AARP is partnering all over New York and the country to make sure these transformations occur.
Presented by Eric Ziering, Director of Software, Cambridge Systematics, Inc.
Google Transit and the widespread adoption of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) has had a huge impact on the availability of Transit routing and scheduling services and information,
both from Google and third parties such as HopStop.com. The effect has been to provide
the public with high-quality information services (well beyond what was imaginable a decade
ago) while lowering the cost to transit agencies. In his presentation, Mr. Ziering will tie together a
number of transit-related information systems projects that are now in progress or have recently
been completed by Cambridge Systematics that illustrate this theme of cost-effectiveness through
the innovative use of information technology. Together, these projects showcase the potential to
maximize the effectiveness of existing transit agency resources through innovative use of information systems.

Mary Ann Crotty is President of Macro Associates and former Director of Policy Management for Governor Mario Cuomo. Ms. Crotty will discuss her recommendations for regulatory reform, reducing costs and procurement reform in the construction industry.
John Walsh, Chief Research & Strategy Officer, Clever Devices
Findings have shown that those who use public transportation instead of their automobile reduce their daily carbon emissions and makes significant
contributions to environmental health. This presentation will address improving operational efficiencies to provide increased mobility and reduce environmental consequences; and discuss stakeholder safety and ridership satisfaction which has been recognized by transit agencies as having a significant impact on attractiveness of transit to many current and prospective riders.
Acute scrotum is a general term referring to an emergency condition affecting the contents or the wall of the scrotum.
There are a number of conditions that present acutely, predominantly with pain and/or swelling
A careful and detailed history and examination, and in some cases, investigations allow differentiation between these diagnoses. A prompt diagnosis is essential as the patient may require urgent surgical intervention
Testicular torsion refers to twisting of the spermatic cord, causing ischaemia of the testicle.
Testicular torsion results from inadequate fixation of the testis to the tunica vaginalis producing ischemia from reduced arterial inflow and venous outflow obstruction.
The prevalence of testicular torsion in adult patients hospitalized with acute scrotal pain is approximately 25 to 50 percent
Pulmonary Thromboembolism - etilogy, types, medical- Surgical and nursing man...VarunMahajani
Disruption of blood supply to lung alveoli due to blockage of one or more pulmonary blood vessels is called as Pulmonary thromboembolism. In this presentation we will discuss its causes, types and its management in depth.
The prostate is an exocrine gland of the male mammalian reproductive system
It is a walnut-sized gland that forms part of the male reproductive system and is located in front of the rectum and just below the urinary bladder
Function is to store and secrete a clear, slightly alkaline fluid that constitutes 10-30% of the volume of the seminal fluid that along with the spermatozoa, constitutes semen
A healthy human prostate measures (4cm-vertical, by 3cm-horizontal, 2cm ant-post ).
It surrounds the urethra just below the urinary bladder. It has anterior, median, posterior and two lateral lobes
It’s work is regulated by androgens which are responsible for male sex characteristics
Generalised disease of the prostate due to hormonal derangement which leads to non malignant enlargement of the gland (increase in the number of epithelial cells and stromal tissue)to cause compression of the urethra leading to symptoms (LUTS

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.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN HEALTHCARE.pdfAnujkumaranit
Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. It encompasses tasks such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. AI technologies are revolutionizing various fields, from healthcare to finance, by enabling machines to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence.
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.

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.

Editor's Notes
Speaker thanks audience. This presentation is designed to get you thinking about what our community needs to do to be a good place in which to grow up and grow old. My name is -_________ and I as a member of this community I want to be part of the discussions and the planning process to make our community more livable for our elders and for people of all ages….and that is why I am here today. I am excited about promoting a concept called community empowerment, supported by state government and inclusive of all individuals who would like to assist with identifying community needs and more importantly participate in bringing about reasonable solutions. We all have a role to play in Empowering our Communities for Successful Aging and NOW is the time to begin that process.
Where – it’s everywhere!
As you can see there are many factors currently at work that make NOW the right time to take action and get these local and regional efforts underway. We have our rapidly growing aging population, who are clearly saying they want to live and age with dignity in their community Creating communities that offer programs and supports that keep people active, engaged, and well contributes to a more economically stable New York. Changing demographics, preferences of baby- boomer population and projected fiscal burdens to the state caused by Medicaid spending are pushing a policy and program agenda away from institutional living to one that promotes community integration The increased number of older adults presents an opportunity for communities to tap into their social capital and benefit from their skills, knowledge and vested interest in addressing community issues.
* 07/16/96 * ## And if you think the aging of the baby boomers is the only thing that needs to be addressed……… The State continues to experience an in-migration trend among the oldest population (aged 80 and over, typically frail, widowed, and poor), 1 who are moving back to New York to live near family, to live their final days “back home,” or to take advantage of New York’s service-rich care system.
Think about the implications of the changing demographics. There are more persons over age fifty in our state than under age five. Soon those over 85 will outnumber the preschoolers. NY’s 85+ population is growing by about an additional 100,000 every 10 years. fastest growing segment are those aged 100 +.

It will foster independence through adequate services options to support individuals in their homes, and by offering education and support to caregivers.
The last slide showed us a model depicting the major components, here are some examples of characteristics that can be found in livable communities. Read through slide above Now we know what a livable community for successful aging looks like. The question then becomes, how do we know what our community needs to become more livable. The answer …our community members have to come together and be empowered to identify needs and be part of the planning process. So what exactly is the community empowerment concept? Next slide
All over the state people are talking about Community Empowerment – but maybe not in those words.
Including a diverse group of people in the discussions about what the community needs and how to address it will ensure a greater pool of resources from which to draw from when action is needed. Once you’ve identified the players…what comes next? Organize a community Planning Event
