Production of Disposable Surgical and Medical Face Masks
The process that needs better explanation and instruction
Surgical and medical face masks are worn by healthcare personnel and professionals when attending to patients with either bacterial or viral infections to avoid contact that may lead to them being infected. In times of an outbreak of a highly infectious viral and bacterial disease like Covid-19, health practitioners and even the public might require to wear medical face masks to prevent the spread of the virus or bacteria (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2019). However, the process of producing the masks is not clear, and that explains the reason surgical and medical face masks are only limited to use by health professionals. The medical masks are highly effective in preventing the spread of viral diseases, and in case of an outbreak, the public should have adequate access to these masks. The process of how they are made needs a clear explanation so that cloth manufacturers and tailors can embark on mass production when necessary.
Impact of the process on manufacturers of face masks
Manufacturers of medical face masks are limited in number. The reason is due to the lack of an elaborate procedure on how to manufacture masks that meet the required standards. Many of them know how to make cloth face masks but which are not effective in controlling the spread of viruses and bacteria like the surgical masks. Outlining a manual for making surgical masks will help manufacturers and tailors to embark on mass production of the same. Such an act will reduce the shortage of surgical face masks and make them available not only to the medical personnel but also to the public.
The research to be conducted
The student should embark on a study to understand how surgical face masks are made. What special features do they possess compared to cloth, non-medical face masks? The student should clearly outline the process involved, the materials required, the average duration taken to produce a single piece, as well as any other relevant resources for the procedure. It should be precise and elaborate such that any interested manufacturer can embark on the production of the masks without struggling on the process.
Existing documentation and information about the process
Much of the available information on how to manufacture masks focuses on non-surgical cloth masks. However, despite cloth masks and surgical masks being closely related, the procedure for making medical masks is more complicated than cloth masks. That is because surgical masks are more efficient in disease protection than cloth masks. Making cloth mas ...

Vaccination Decisions
Introduction
The article ‘Risk Perception And Communication in Vaccination Decisions: A Fuzzy-Trace Approach’ addresses a process model used in making vaccination decisions in the recent time; the era of Web 2.0. The author, Reyna explores the fuzzy-trace theory that characterizes vaccination decisions in terms of retrieval of values, application of the values to representations (in context), dual mental representations (gist and verbatim), and background knowledge. Extracting essential gist or meaning of the vaccination messages is interrupted by lack of knowledge. According to the author, the majority of the population has a tendency to adopt the “feeling okay” status quo option as a prevention decision. Additionally, psychological evidence from other relevant prevention decisions including cancer screening shows that a large percentage of the population will present their decision options as being simple, categorical gist. This provides a choice of taking up preventive behaviors and a feeling-okay option. This paper critiques the various sections of Reyna’s article including the theory of approach to vaccinations and the intervention program towards the issue.
The Fuzzy-Trace Theory
According to Reyna, theories in science should have sound empirical evidence and accommodate the relevant evidence including the evidence that is generated from the laboratories. The fuzzy-trace Theory retains the admirable and useful features of the Schema Theory (Reyna, 2012). Specifically, the fuzzy-trace theory makes predictions concerning decision making, judgment, and memory and predicts on their development in the various phases of life (from childhood to old age). For research purposes, fuzzy-trace theory integrates studies on gestalt theory, social judgment, neurobiology, memory and cognition, psycholinguistics and emotion. In obtaini.

Face Mask Detection And Attendance SystemDarsh Jain
The Current COVID-19 pandemic has got the world to a halt and took everyones attention, as it was a global pandemic the world knew about it. But some underdeveloped nations suffer from viral outbreaks every year. To protect ourselves from these viral outbreaks there is a need for a continuous supply of Sanitizers and face masks to maintain personal hygiene. To help such nations and give some contribution to the world, a novel idea of Face Mask Detection and Attendance System has been proposed in this paper. Also, the various techniques that can be used for facial recognition and object detection, like the HAAR cascade method, Machine learning Algorithms, Deep Learning, etc. are discussed.

PlayDecide jest grą opartą na dialogu umożliwiającą w prosty i skuteczny sposób dyskusję na kontrowersyjne tematy. Rozpoczęcie sesji gry PlayDecide jest bardzo łatwe. Jest to gra-debata, do której potrzeba kilku osób (od 4 do 8, ale najlepiej gra się w grupie 5-6 osób) siedzących przy jednym stole. Gra „Decide” trwa około 80 minut. W tej grze będziemy się przyglądać inwestycjom potrzebnym do kontroli malarii.
Malaria jest powszechną chorobą pasożytniczą, która jest wywołana przez pasożyta przenoszonego między ludźmi za pośrednictwem komarów. Trzy miliardy osób na świecie są zagrożone malarią. W 2010 roku ta choroba spowodowała śmierć około 800 000 osób na całym świecie. Światowa Organizacja Zdrowia (WHO) oszacowała, że w 2015 roku do walki z malarią potrzeba około 4 miliardów euro. Ale jak należy rozłożyć środki, jeżeli zgromadzone zostanie tylko 3,5 mld € zamiast 4 mld €? Czy ograniczyłbyś środki na zapobieganie, leczenie czy na rozpoznawanie? A może ograniczyłbyś środki na badania? Czy niektóre kraje powinny mieć pierwszeństwo w otrzymaniu funduszy?
PlayDecide es un juego de diálogo para hablar de forma sencilla y efectiva de temas controvertidos. Organizar una sesión de PlayDecide es muy sencillo. Se trata de un juego de conversación que requiere un pequeño grupo de personas (de 4 a 8, aunque funciona mejor con 5 o 6) sentadas alrededor de una mesa. La duración del juego es de aproximadamente 80 minutos y su objetivo es analizar las inversiones para controlar la malaria.
La malaria es una enfermedad parasitaria frecuente, que se transmite de humano a humano a través de un mosquito. Tres mil millones de personas corren el riesgo de contraer malaria, que fue responsable de casi 800.000 muertes en todo el mundo en 2010. La OMS estima que son necesarios alrededor de 4.000 millones de euros para hacer frente a la malaria en 2015. Pero, ¿cómo se debería distribuir el gasto si solo se recaudan 3.500 millones de euros de los 4.000 millones necesarios? ¿Recortarías la financiación para prevención, tratamiento y diagnóstico? ¿Recortarías los fondos para investigación? ¿Deberían tener prioridad algunos países a la hora de obtener financiación?
PlayDecide is a dialogue game to talk in a simple and effective way about controversial issues. It is very easy to set up a session of PlayDecide. It's a conversation game that requires a small group of people (4 to 8, although it works best with 5-6 people) around a table. Decide takes about 80 minutes to play. This game looks at investments to control malaria.
Malaria is a common parasitic disease, caused by a parasite transmitted from human to human via mosquito. Three billion people are at risk of malaria. It was responsible for nearly 800,000 deaths worldwide in 2010. The WHO estimates that around €4 billion is necessary in order to tackle malaria in 2015. But how should the spending be distributed if only €3.5 billion of the necessary €4 billion is raised? Would you cut funding for prevention, treatment and diagnosis? Or would you cut funding for research? Should some countries be given priority to get funding?
PlayDecide és un joc de diàleg per parlar de manera planera i efectiva sobre temes controvertits. Organitzar una sessió de PlayDecide és molt senzill. Es tracta d’un joc de conversa que requereix un grupet de persones (de 4 a 8, tot i que el nombre idoni és 5 o 6 persones) assegudes al voltant d’una taula. La durada del joc és d’uns 80 minuts i el seu objectiu, analitzar les inversions per controlar la malària.

L’OMS calcula que són necessaris uns 4.000 milions d’euros per fer front a la malària el 2015. Però, com s’ha de distribuir la despesa si només es recapten 3.500 milions d’euros dels 4.000 milions necessaris? Retallaries el finançament per a prevenció, per a tractament i diagnòstic? Retallaries els fons per a investigació? Han de tenir prioritat alguns països a l’hora d’obtenir finançament?

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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.
