Mental health and injury: Trauma, Rehabilitation and RecoveryValerie Lougheed
The Power Point Program presented by Val Lougheed at the Mental Health and Injury conference on April 19th, 2011, in Winnipeg, Manitoba, for the Rehabilitation Return to Work Partnership
In the second segment of this two part series, Ludmila “Mila” Golovine, Founder, President & CEO of MasterWord and an interpreter herself, will further address vicarious traumatization not from a scientific but from an insider’s point of view - as a representative of a profession that is vulnerable to this type of trauma. Professionals working in healthcare, in court, in jail, with refugees, with child protective services, with victims of abuse, or in war zones most likely experienced high levels of stress, suffered vicarious trauma, or felt vulnerable during their everyday work. However, there are limited resources specifically available for interpreters. Participants will be provided with additional practical tools from various sources that have been specifically adapted to help interpreters prevent and/or mitigate the effects of vicarious trauma before, during and after difficult interpreting encounters.
Webinar attendees are encouraged, but not required, to view the recording of the previous webinar on this topic: How Not To Hurt: Teaching Trainers about Vicarious Trauma and Interpreter Self-Care
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the potential impact of vicarious trauma on work performance and quality of life.
2. Identify a variety of practical tools that can be used by interpreters to mitigate the effects of Vicarious Trauma and stress before, during and after the encounter.
3. Develop a network of support.
This presentation was done for Central Valley Recovery, Awareness, Preventing Strokes (“CVRAPS”). In attendance were stroke survivors, caregivers, clinicians, therapists and others related to stroke recovery and prevention.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19

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.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
