Consciousness consists of awareness of one’s surrounding and responsiveness to external stimulation and inner need.
A normal level of consciousness (wakefulness) depends upon activation of the cerebral hemispheres and by neurons located in the brainstem reticular activating system (RAS).
Both components and the connections between them must be preserved for consciousness to be maintained
Ataxia denotes a syndrome of imbalance and Incoordination involving gait, limbs, and speech and usually results from the disorder of the cerebellum or its
connections
It is characterized by dyssynergia, dysmetria, dysdiadochokinesia (Joseph Babinski).
It is a disorder of rate, range, direction and force of movements (Gordon Holmes).

Aptuveni 6000 dabas un mūzikas draugu 18. jūnijā bija ieradušies Rēzeknes novada Lūznavas muižā, kur aizritēja pirmā no divām šogad plānotajām Dabas koncertzālēm. Šoreiz Dabas koncertzāles galvenais varonis bija Garausainais sikspārnis (Plecotus auritus), kuram arī tika veltītas gan radošās un izzinošās darbnīcas, gan arī muzikālais stāsts vakara noslēgumā. Šis projekts ir neparasts veids, kā palielināt cilvēku izpratni un skaidrot likumsakarības par norisēm dabā mums visapkārt. Vienlaikus Dabas koncertzāle ir Latvijas lepnums, kā nozīme novērtēta arī starptautiski, jo projekts šogad ieguva Eiropas Komisijas NATURA 2000 balvu.
Lai gūtu zināšanas par darbu ar jauniešiem pašvaldībās citviet Eiropā, kā arī prezentētu Riebiņu novada pieredzi šajā jomā, no 27. aprīļa līdz 2. maijam 14 Riebiņu novada pārstāvji piedalījās starptautiskā apmaiņas projektā «YOUVOL: Jaunā pilsoniskā līdzdalība un brīvprātīgais darbs» Itālijā, Kasertas provincē. Projekts, kurā līdzās Latvijai piedalījās arī Itālijas un Albānijas pašvaldības, norisinājās Eiropas Komisijas finansētās programmas «Eiropa pilsoņiem» ietvaros.
Turpinās darbs pie projekta Nr. ERZLV04/GSKMS/2013/09 „Ludzas Lielās sinagogas restaurācija un ebreju garīgā mantojuma atdzimšana”, kas tiek īstenots Eiropas Ekonomikas zonas finanšu instrumenta Programma LV04 “Kultūras un dabas mantojuma saglabāšana un atjaunināšana” ietvaros. Jūnijā Ludzas novada pašvaldībā darba vizītē ieradušās trīs ekspertes no Hordalandas Muzeju centra Norvēģijā. Tā ir jau ceturtā norvēģu ekspertu vizīte Ludzā. Ekspertes piedalījās projekta vadības un darba grupas sanāksmē. Projektu plānots pabeigt līdz š.g. 1. novembrim.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!
