1) Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect millions of Americans each year, resulting in death, disability, and high medical costs. Common causes include motor vehicle accidents, falls, assaults, and sports/recreation injuries.
2) Mild TBIs account for 75% of cases but can still cause long-term impairments. Moderate and severe TBIs require hospitalization and intensive rehabilitation.
3) The brain's anatomy and physiology allow for complex functions. Damage to different areas can cause varying cognitive, sensory, and motor deficits depending on the location of injury in the brain.
To define a traumatic brain injury is simply an injury to the brain due to trauma to the head. A brain bleed, fractured skull, or comas as a result of head injury are brain injuries that are easy to identify.

Local newspapers spend many square inches each week covering how long the fire department was on the scene of the most recent house fire or how many burglaries the police department had reported. Analysis of this public safety coverage indicated that, as in prior agenda-setting studies, it is correlated with policy change if only minimally. Addition analysis of hundreds of news articles over a 10-year period in dozens of cities revealed that only about 1 percent of community newspaper coverage was devoted to pre-hospital healthcare — EMS. Subsequent qualitative investigation, which included interviews with EMS officials and newspaper reporters in cities identified with both high levels of coverage and low levels of coverage, found five potential reasons for the minimal coverage: (1) Reporters simply were more interested in police/fire coverage; (2) public information officers were more likely to serve police and fire; (3) legislation precludes coverage of EMS while other legislation makes information from other public safety agencies more accessible; (4) how EMS systems are managed often means they are not publicly accountable; and (5) EMS is not on the radar screen of the citizens.

Seminar cocreatie en opsporing bij de Politie Academie: De politie is voor de opsporing van daders van misdrijven vaak afhankelijk van de medewerking van de burger. Dat is eigenlijk nooit anders geweest, burgerparticipatie bij het politiewerk is van alle tijden. Binnen de politie wordt voortdurend geëxperimenteerd met innovatieve manieren om de burger bij het oplossen van misdrijven te betrekken. Cocreatie is zo'n specifieke vorm van burgerparticipatie. Bij cocreatie werken politie en burgers gezamenlijk aan een oplossing die voor beide partijen waarde creëert. Hierachter zit het idee dat de burger de veiligheid krijgt die hij verdient en waaraan hij zelf meewerkt. Cocreatie kenmerkt zich door een vergaande vorm van samenwerking waarbij burgers steeds meer invloed hebben op de aanpak van criminaliteit. Maar hoe kun je dit bereiken? Het contact van de politie met burgers is traditioneel informerend en zendend van aard, dus eenrichtingsverkeer. Dit is anno 2012 achterhaald, de politie c.q. overheid moet een manier vinden om contact met burgers te krijgen om in dialoog te treden. Dit betekent geen een- maar tweerichtingsverkeer.

De Moderne Sherlock Holmes - Online burgerosporingTNO
Democratisering van kennis, opsporingsinformatie en tools zorgen er naast digitalserende criminaliteit, in rap tempo voor dat burgers en bedrijven steeds meer zelf aan opsporing doen. Social Media is een belangrijk onderdeel van dit nieuwe DNA, vooral ook als krachtig middel voor nieuwe vormen van samenwerking. Kunnen politie en justitie deze ontwikkelingen bijhouden en hoe verandert hun rol?
Deze presentatie bevat voorbeelden van burgeropsporing en bedrijfsopsporing op criminaliteitssoorten variërend van veel voorkomende criminaliteit (VVC), High Impact Crime (HiC), ondermijning en zelfs de grootste opsporingszaak die Nederland tot nu toe gekend heeft: de MH17.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
