A review of GLOBALIZATION, A Very Short Introduction by Manfred B. StegerAshok Pandey
Manfred B. Steger is a political scientist and author known for his work on globalization. "GLOBALIZATION: A Very Short Introduction" is one of the books in the "Very Short Introductions" series published by Oxford University Press. These books provide concise and accessible introductions to a wide range of topics. In "GLOBALIZATION: A Very Short Introduction," Manfred B. Steger explores the concept of globalization and its impact on the world. He discusses the economic, political, cultural, and social dimensions of globalization and provides readers with a comprehensive overview of the subject. The book delves into the historical roots of globalization, its contemporary manifestations, and the debates surrounding its effects on various aspects of society.
Critics
Globalization refers to the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence of countries and economies through the exchange of goods, services, information, and ideas. While globalization has brought about significant economic growth and technological advancement, Marxists often critique it from several angles:
a. Exploitation: Marxists argue that globalization can exacerbate global economic inequalities, as multinational corporations exploit cheap labor in developing countries to maximize profits.
b. Imperialism: Some Marxists see globalization as a form of imperialism, where powerful nations and multinational corporations dominate and exploit weaker nations and their resources.
c. Cultural Homogenization: Critics within the Marxist tradition contend that globalization can lead to cultural homogenization, as Western values and consumer culture become dominant worldwide, erasing local traditions and identities.
d. Capital Mobility: Globalization has facilitated the movement of capital across borders, allowing multinational corporations to evade taxes and regulations, which can undermine the power of nation-states.
In summary, Marxism provides a critical framework for analyzing the impact of globalization on societies and economies, emphasizing issues of class struggle, exploitation, and inequality. While Marxism has influenced various social and political movements, its application to contemporary globalization debates remains a complex and evolving topic.

New Directions in Targeted Therapeutic Approaches for Older Adults With Mantl...i3 Health
i3 Health is pleased to make the speaker slides from this activity available for use as a non-accredited self-study or teaching resource.
This slide deck presented by Dr. Kami Maddocks, Professor-Clinical in the Division of Hematology and
Associate Division Director for Ambulatory Operations
The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center, will provide insight into new directions in targeted therapeutic approaches for older adults with mantle cell lymphoma.
STATEMENT OF NEED
Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) is a rare, aggressive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) accounting for 5% to 7% of all lymphomas. Its prognosis ranges from indolent disease that does not require treatment for years to very aggressive disease, which is associated with poor survival (Silkenstedt et al, 2021). Typically, MCL is diagnosed at advanced stage and in older patients who cannot tolerate intensive therapy (NCCN, 2022). Although recent advances have slightly increased remission rates, recurrence and relapse remain very common, leading to a median overall survival between 3 and 6 years (LLS, 2021). Though there are several effective options, progress is still needed towards establishing an accepted frontline approach for MCL (Castellino et al, 2022). Treatment selection and management of MCL are complicated by the heterogeneity of prognosis, advanced age and comorbidities of patients, and lack of an established standard approach for treatment, making it vital that clinicians be familiar with the latest research and advances in this area. In this activity chaired by Michael Wang, MD, Professor in the Department of Lymphoma & Myeloma at MD Anderson Cancer Center, expert faculty will discuss prognostic factors informing treatment, the promising results of recent trials in new therapeutic approaches, and the implications of treatment resistance in therapeutic selection for MCL.
Target Audience
Hematology/oncology fellows, attending faculty, and other health care professionals involved in the treatment of patients with mantle cell lymphoma (MCL).
Learning Objectives
1.) Identify clinical and biological prognostic factors that can guide treatment decision making for older adults with MCL
2.) Evaluate emerging data on targeted therapeutic approaches for treatment-naive and relapsed/refractory MCL and their applicability to older adults
3.) Assess mechanisms of resistance to targeted therapies for MCL and their implications for treatment selection

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
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.

29. What is SPSS?
SPSS is a comprehensive and flexible statistical analysis and
data management solution.
SPSS is a computer program used for survey authoring and
deployment, data mining, text analytics, statistical analysis, and
collaboration and deployment.
SPSS can take data from almost any type of file and use them to
generate tabulated reports, charts, and plots of distributions and
trends, descriptive statistics, and conduct complex statistical analyses.
SPSS is among the most widely used programs for statistical
analysis in social science.

144. Advantages
SPSS offers a user friendliness that most
packages are only now catching up to.
It is popular, and though that is certainly not
a reason for choosing a statistical package,
many data sets are easily loaded into it and
other programs can easily import SPSS files.
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 144
145. Disadvantages
For academic use SPSS lags notably behind SAS, R
and even perhaps others that are on the more
mathematical rather than statistical side for modern
data analysis.
Its menu offerings are typically the most basic of an
analysis and sometimes lacking even then, and it
makes doing an inappropriate analysis very easy.
It is expensive, sometimes ridiculously so, and even
when you do buy you're really only leasing, and its
license is definitely not user friendly.
There are often compatibility issues with prior

163. Variable name and field label
The first word you type are considered as “variable name”
Then the list of full meaning of your variable name are
“field label”
Eg. IDNo ----- (variable name)
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 163
164. Define type of variable
Using “field pick list” menu from epi-data we can decide
weather our variable are
1. Numeric
2. Text
3. Date

From “Field pick list menu” click on “Date” , select the
date formats you want to use then click “Insert”.
1. DD/MM/YYYY--- 12/03/2018 ---Standard date format
2. MM/DD/YYYY---03/12/2018
3. YYYY/MM/DD ---2018/03/12
167. Numeric type of variable
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 16
7
and Date
• We use it for variables {other than ID ,Text
variables} which we insert our data using NUMBER .
• Eg 1 = Yes (for “Yes” response we insert “1”)
2 = No (For “No” type response we insert “2”)
168. Create numeric type of variable using two ways
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 16
8
1. Using “FIELD PICK LIST” MENU from epi data window
From “Field pick list menu” click on “Numeric” then decide the number of
digits before and after decimal points.
Eg. If we want no digits after decimal points we make digits after decimal
points as= “0”
169. CON’T…
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 16
9
And we make before decimal points based on our interest,
(that is based on our sample size).
For example----- if our sample size is 100, we make it 3. i.e field
length is 3 (# # #), for 50 sample, we make it as “2”, i.e the field
length is 2 (# #).
170. Second method to define Numeric type of variables
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 17
0
2. Using short cuts
Click shift+# on your computer
E.g for 200 we type as (shift 3x i.e ###)

3. “SHOW” & “TYPE COMMENT” COMMANDS
This commands help us during data entry by showing us list of
responses to chose among the lists and type entered response for
each respondents.
175
176. CHECK…CON’T…
4. Define variable labels for “categorical type of variables” (1=male,
2= Female). N.B. IF the categorical variable is made of two words it
must put under double quotation.
e.g. marital status---1. “never married”--- Two words
Ashok Pandey, Associate Research Fellow 176

191. Information about References:
Each Reference:
Stores all the information needed to cite it in a reference list
(e.g. in a lab report or essay).
Within a library, each reference has a unique record number
which cannot be changed.
The fields (author, year etc) can be modified, deleted or new
ones added.
There are many reference types (book, journal article, newpaper
article, chart, equation, etc...)

206. Referencing conventions:
In essays and lab-reports, all cited work must be properly
referenced, by a reference in the text (author surname and date of
publication), and an entry in a reference list that contains complete
details of each reference:
In the text: "Field and Hole (2003) give lots of useful advice". Or
"Learning statistics has been shown to be easier than people think
(Field and Hole, 2003)".
In the reference list: Field, A. and Hole, G. (2003). How to design and
report experiments. London: Sage.
Problem is that the conventions for this differ slightly between
journals (although most use "A.P.A. format").

This is a load of rubbish I'm writing in order to show you how to use "Endnote"
(Duck and Mouse 2007). Here's some more tosh that I've just typed (Sooty and
Sweep 2007), and yet more (Lala, Tinky-winky et al. 2007).
