This document provides an overview of strategies for searching the medical literature, including developing a PICO question, using Boolean operators and truncation, searching databases like PubMed and Google Scholar, and accessing full text articles. Key tips include searching MeSH terms in PubMed to identify the most relevant subject headings, using limits to narrow search results to specific types of articles and populations, and taking advantage of library services to access full texts.
This document summarizes an information visualization course. The course aims to provide principles and techniques for effective visualizations. It will cover foundations like design principles, charts, maps, trees and graphs. It will apply these concepts to text analysis, patent analysis and other domains. The course structure includes lectures, exercises and a final project. Students are expected to have some web and programming skills. The instructor is Emanuele Ruffaldi and the course will be held at the Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna in Pisa, Italy.

This document provides scoring criteria for a 6th grade presentation assessment using a media rubric. It outlines key areas such as design, selection of media, organization, labels/text, and use of media. A proficient presentation will have neat slides organized with a logical flow and order. An advanced presentation demonstrates strong skills in the chosen medium and enhances the presentation. It engages the audience through interactive elements and explains concepts beyond just reading captions. A basic presentation has distracting elements, lacks organization, and does not properly use or reference the media.
This document discusses the history and rise of surveillance and monitoring in the modern era. It touches on Frederick Taylor's scientific management approach to industrial production monitoring workers. It also discusses how monitoring has expanded from directly overseeing workspaces to now monitoring and gathering data on audiences and people from a distance through new interactive technologies.
The humanitarian situation in Syria continues to deteriorate as violence escalates. Over 1.4 million people are internally displaced within Syria and in need of urgent assistance. Humanitarian access is becoming increasingly difficult due to rising security issues like carjackings and attacks targeting aid workers and convoys. Food assistance remains critical with over 1 million people receiving food in November, however monitoring distributions has been hampered in some areas by insecurity. Rehabilitation of shelters is a high priority as nearly 2,000 schools and public buildings are housing internally displaced people without adequate facilities.
This document outlines a framework for achieving global disaster resilience through comprehensive integration of knowledge from past disasters. It discusses establishing disaster-resilient communities by implementing best policies and practices. These include closing knowledge gaps, identifying weaknesses, and gaining a deeper understanding of disasters to implement countermeasures that prevent recurrences when the continuums of people, communities, and recurring hazards intersect. Emerging technologies, probabilistic hazard forecasts, risk reduction through development standards, and international cooperation in emergency response and recovery are key components of the framework.

The document discusses creating a common agenda for disaster resilience at the community level. It emphasizes understanding the differences between technical and political perspectives, as well as the varying staple factors like social, economic, and legal considerations that influence resilience efforts in each community. The goal is to integrate these technical and political solutions and staple factors to develop a common agenda that balances community needs and reduces vulnerability and risk from disasters.
This document provides information on how to increase profits at an equestrian centre, including tips on creating a business plan, marketing strategies, and funding opportunities.

The document also advertises a business planning workshop and coaching program to help equestrian centres develop plans, strategies, and applications for funding.
Two volcanoes in Mexico, Popocatepetl and Colima, have shown increased activity and are threatening to erupt. While current eruptions are not considered dangerous, Popocatepetl poses a threat to Mexico City if its eruptions become more powerful. There are over 1,500 active volcanoes worldwide that could erupt at any time, and eruptions of 11 highly active volcanoes including Katla in Iceland, Pinatubo in the Philippines, and Nyamuragira in the Democratic Republic of Congo would be especially devastating due to their proximity to populated areas.

This project aims to examine the overall areas included in an olive mill building, as well as their in and outdoor functionality over the centuries. Moreover it examines their development through the years and the additional uses that they have obtained.
The study follows the evolution of olive oil mills in chronological order, in the area of Greece and all over the world, and is based on bibliographic, online sources and also on close up looks and meetings with people owning such facilities.
The conclusions occurring from the research and comparison between olive mill units are distinctive between the Greek and the European ones.
In modern Greek units, most of the changes -interventions or improvements- relate to better mechanical equipment that are equivalent with better safety and hygiene conditions.
However, the changes are limited to the main productive part which refers to the employees, the transporters and other executives.
On the contrary, in most European countries, modern olive mills are designed to comply with bioclimatic architecture and have the functionality and establishments to operate as a: • Museum
• Walking site
• Cultural and educational space
• Place to welcome entertainment activities
• Business activities’ holder
These facilities operate not only as olive oil mills but also as memory and interaction operators. They bring people closer to the olive product, its historical route and the necessity, usefulness and prospect of it.
