The presentation calls for people to help protect animals globally from cruelty and support animal welfare organizations.
Deforestation involves clearing forests by cutting and burning trees to make way for houses and apartments. It causes problems for the atmosphere and water by increasing carbon dioxide levels. While deforestation is a global issue, it particularly impacts rainforests in places like the Amazon and Africa where there is little legislation to protect forests. The presentation aims to show how severe deforestation is for rainforests using tools like RSS feeds, newsletters, and Google Alerts to monitor coverage about deforestation and its effects in locations like the Amazon Forest.
Gorgona Island is a small Colombian island known as a "Science Island" that is home to thriving coral reef and tropical rainforest ecosystems. It attracts eco-tourism and research due to its natural paradise landscapes and abundance of flora and fauna. Visitors can enjoy eco-tourism activities while helping to preserve the island's natural environments through archaeological and nature-focused tourism.
The document provides an overview of 5 models for creating effective stories and outlines a 6-phase process for developing a sustainable culture of storytelling at an organization. The models discussed are "Stories Worth Telling", "Made to Stick", "Resonate", "Lead with a Story", and "Winning the Story Wars". For each model, the document identifies key storytelling elements and provides prompts for how to apply that element when creating stories for the nonprofit Byte Back. The overall goal is to help Byte Back identify best practices for strategic storytelling to achieve its objectives.
This short document discusses a person who is traveling to meet someone else. They mention being excited for the trip and looking forward to seeing the other person and catching up in person. The document expresses enthusiasm and positive anticipation for the upcoming meeting between the two individuals.
This document proposes a project to develop a web application and simulator to showcase the benefits of mobile device management (MDM) software. The project aims to demonstrate how MDM can help organizations reduce costs by tracking device usage and manage assets. It also aims to showcase how MDM can reduce business risks by remotely wiping or locking devices that are lost. The proposal describes the objectives, scope, and management techniques used for the project. Diagrams of the proposed user interfaces and database structure are provided.
This document provides information about Elastic Messaging for the organization Byte Back. It includes:
1) An Elastic Messaging Platform that outlines Byte Back's mission and main message, along with supporting themes and proof points about digital inclusion, workforce development, and economic opportunity.
2) A Theory of Change section explaining how Byte Back addresses barriers like lack of access to education, technology and skilled jobs through its courses and job readiness programs.
3) Suggestions for conducting effective internal messaging workshops on a quarterly basis to discuss challenges and ensure consistent messaging across the organization and communication channels.
The document summarizes Starbucks' #RaceTogether campaign launched in response to racial tensions in Ferguson, Missouri. It provides background on Howard Schultz and Starbucks' emphasis on social responsibility initiatives. The campaign aimed to promote discussions about race relations by writing #RaceTogether on coffee cups but faced public and employee backlash.

Priming the Pump or the Sieve: Institutional Contexts and URM STEM Degree Att...brycehughes
This document summarizes a study on factors that influence undergraduate STEM degree completion rates, particularly among underrepresented minority (URM) students. It finds that institutional selectivity can improve graduation rates but not necessarily retention in STEM fields. Having a large pre-medical program concentration can cause students to switch out of STEM majors. Supportive environments like undergraduate research opportunities and student-centered teaching help retain URM students in STEM. The study analyzed data on over 58,000 students and 10,000 faculty to identify characteristics linked to higher STEM graduation rates while controlling for student backgrounds.
Este documento habla brevemente sobre los sistemas mecánicos simples del plano inclinado, tornillo, tuerca y tirafondo, describiendo sus partes principales como la tuerca y la cabeza del tornillo, así como su utilidad.
The document summarizes sustainability activities at Dickinson College during the fall of 2012, including:
1) Events hosted by the Center for Sustainability Education (CSE) such as activities night, composting initiatives, biogas workshops, and a bike-to-farm potluck with over 90 participants.
2) New dorm compost bins and buckets outside several buildings.
3) A class visiting solar panels in Vermont and CSE interns hosting Green Drinks.
4) Activities at the annual Campus Sustainability Day like pumpkin picking, a bike co-op, and EarthNow's initiative to ban bottled water.
5) Ongoing programs involving the Dickinson College Farm
Dickinson College has numerous sustainability initiatives including an organic farm, biodiesel program, energy conservation challenges, composting, and LEED certified buildings. The Center for Sustainability Education coordinates programs like an agricultural program in Cuba, bike sharing, and sustainable living. Students conduct research, volunteer, and take part in sustainability projects across campus.
The document provides an analysis of current and aspirational audiences for Byte Back based on in-depth stakeholder interviews. It identifies strengths, priorities, and opportunities for Byte Back as perceived by current funders and partners. The analysis also explores how Byte Back can demonstrate strategic fit and mutual benefits to aspirational audiences like corporate CSR departments, think tanks, and local government.
Nina Tandon gave a presentation on tissue engineering and how it could provide solutions for the future. She kept the audience engaged by varying the topics between genetic engineering, money models, and factual evidence using videos and slides. Nina switched topics frequently and used comparisons between animals and humans to show how tissue engineering can help. The presentation received a rating of 4 out of 5 for dynamics and kept a consistent visual theme. Nina was well-prepared and delivered the speech confidently with good eye contact and engagement of the audience. The document recommends being prepared with organized materials and delivering speeches confidently without slowing down too much.

Este documento presenta información sobre la fisiología médica, incluyendo la ubicación y velocidad de los potenciales de acción en el corazón y el sistema de conducción cardíaco. Proporciona una tabla con detalles sobre cada potencial de acción y animaciones adicionales para explicar este sistema.
El documento describe las 12 derivaciones de un electrocardiograma, divididas en derivaciones bipolares de extremidades y unipolares. Las derivaciones bipolares miden la diferencia de potencial entre brazos y piernas, mientras que las unipolares miden la diferencia entre un electrodo en el cuerpo y uno de referencia. Incluye las 6 derivaciones precordiales V1-V6 ubicadas en el tórax.
1) Las hormonas esteroideas y tiroidenas se unen a receptores nucleares en la célula blanco, lo que permite su translocación al núcleo y la unión a genes blanco en el ADN, activando la transcripción de ARNm.
2) Esto induce la síntesis de proteínas que producen una respuesta celular a la hormona.
3) En el caso de la insulina, se une a receptores de membrana y estimula la fosforilación del receptor, activando una cascada de señales que promueve la captación de
Este documento clasifica y describe las principales hormonas del cuerpo humano. Explica que las hormonas se pueden clasificar como hidrosolubles o liposolubles dependiendo de su solubilidad. Luego describe las hormonas de la hipófisis y el hipotálamo, incluidas sus funciones y blancos celulares. Explica que las hormonas de la hipófisis estimulan o inhiben otras glándulas, mientras que las hormonas del hipotálamo estimulan o inhiben la hipófisis.
