The document summarizes the LGBT movement in Vietnam from 2008 to 2011, which transitioned from passive to more proactive engagement. It discusses the perceptions of LGBT individuals in Vietnamese society and legal frameworks. An online LGBT community provided important support. Strategies employed from 2008 included working with the press to provide information on homosexuality, holding public exhibitions that attracted thousands of visitors, and empowering the LGBT organization. The first national LGBT conference in 2011 had over 30 representatives. Future plans included counseling services, advocacy training, and capacity building to further support the LGBT community and movement in Vietnam.

Professionalization of Journalism
The document discusses the professionalization of journalism versus blogging. Journalists serve as watchdogs over the government and elite by providing objective news coverage as the fourth estate. Their professionalization involved organizing associations to lobby for journalism programs. However, limitations to professionalization include abstract standards and lack of independent control over work. As blogging has increased, it has blurred the lines between journalism and citizen journalism, making professionalization more difficult.

This document discusses the shift from representative democracy to direct democracy, or "Democracy 2.0", enabled by internet access and participation. It proposes a new framework called "Lawmaking 2.0" where citizens can directly contribute to lawmaking online without political mediation. Examples of online lawmaking practices from Estonia, UK, US and Russia are provided. The document then outlines WikiVote's approach to collaborative lawmaking, which invites representatives from interested groups to discuss, edit and vote on draft laws online. Results are improved legal documents and the formation of a public expert community to participate in future projects.
Professionalization of journalism
The document discusses the professionalization of journalism, which aims to establish codes of ethics and serve the public interest through fair and unbiased reporting. It occurred in response to government regulation in the 1920s. The American Society of Newspaper Editors was founded in 1922 and established a code of ethics in 1923 to promote responsible journalism. Professionalization aims to maintain freedom of the press and speech by acting as a watchdog of the government through impartial information. However, it can be difficult to enforce standards and remove unethical practitioners without required training or licensing.

Evolving roles and relationships of Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) in ...
Presentation given at the final conference of the EURO-URHIS 2 project in Amsterdam. It gives insight into an online survey of Non-governmental Organisations (NGOs) conducted for my doctoral study.
Questions focused on INGO roles (e.g. types of work); working relationships with other NGOs, policy makers, local authorities and government organisations; use of existing data and information resources; the frequency, perception of quality and usability of these resources; and a ‘wish list’ of up to twenty specific indicators of data that INGOs would like to have.
The survey identified key areas where International Non-governmental Organisations (INGOs) in Vietnam were active. Opportunities for further INGO engagement are suggested with emphasis placed on building better links between INGO activities and the activities and policies or other actors. These include policy makers, local authorities and government organisations.

This document discusses e-democracy in Wales, noting both positives and challenges. It reports that over 2/3 of English authorities are breaking the law by not providing e-petitions, and that about half do not post information on past and planned public consultations online. However, it also gives examples of good e-democracy practices in Bristol, such as making government data accessible across multiple platforms and following up with the public to show their input was heard. The document argues that political blogs can improve democratic processes by facilitating more active participation in political discourse.
Web project samples
The document describes several projects involving e-learning and knowledge transfer systems for medical organizations. It discusses a project for the International Headache Society that included a new e-learning section on their members-only website with video and reading libraries and interactive case-based learning. It also describes a 'PROSPECT' knowledge transfer project funded by Pfizer that provided pain management case studies and a system for field representatives to track client meetings. Finally, it summarizes an early e-learning pilot project for the NHS that allowed nursing staff to take online courses and receive certificates upon completion.

La Unión Europea ha propuesto un nuevo paquete de sanciones contra Rusia que incluye un embargo al petróleo. El embargo prohibiría las importaciones de petróleo ruso por mar y limitaría las importaciones por oleoducto. Sin embargo, Hungría, Eslovaquia y la República Checa se oponen al embargo al petróleo, ya que dependen en gran medida de las importaciones rusas.

Company Roadmap Margaret Wallace
The document discusses key differences between bootstrapped and venture capital (VC) funded companies. It notes that VC-funded companies will generally have a more accelerated roadmap. VCs and companies may have misaligned goals, with VCs focused on managing risk. VCs will want to see a company has considered strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. They will also want proof the company can be profitable or break even within 18-24 months. The document provides lessons and tips for companies to consider based on whether they pursue bootstrapping or VC funding.

Discussion Personal and Professional Social Work ValuesHeterose.docx
Discussion: Personal and Professional Social Work Values
Heterosexism is defined as "the discrimination or prejudice by heterosexuals against homosexuals" (merriam-webster.com) and is predicated on the belief that being heterosexual is the norm and the only accepted type of relationship.
Everyday heterosexism is exemplified in our media, our policies, and daily practices. By making these assumptions, social workers can be in part culpable for the oppression and marginalization experienced by the LGBTQ community.
As a profession, social work embraces diversity and strives to ensure equal rights for all. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is committed to supporting the needs of these groups and, in turn, they created the National Committee on Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender Issues. During this week's discussion you will be asked to consider how one's own personal views on sexual orientation may clash with the profession's stance.
By Day 3
Post a scenario of how a social worker's personal, ethical, and moral values in relation to the LGBTQ community might conflict with those of their clients. Explain the distinction between personal ethics and values and professional ethics and values evident in the social work profession in addressing this community. Be specific and explain how this distinction relates to the scenario you posted. Also explain how prejudice and bias might create barriers to fulfilling your professional responsibility to the LGBTQ community.
Assignment 1: Project Progress
In Week 10, you will submit a recorded PowerPoint presentation on a cultural event in which you participate. This final project allows faculty to evaluate how you integrate the various concepts related to diversity, human rights, and social justice. You will be expected to evaluate course content as you share aspects of your experience. This Week, you are asked to provide an updated on your progress.
It is recommended that you to attend the event no later than Week 8 to prevent last minute challenges with this assignment, such as in the case when an event is cancelled. The event should be open to the public and be related to a diverse social identity. Places that may list cultural events, meetings, or experiences include your local or neighborhood newspaper, church bulletins, local colleges, primary schools, or your local library.
Below are some possible ideas:
Check your Office of Multicultural Affairs
Town hall meeting in another part of town
Local churches
Local training
Local Agencies
Identify local multicultural communities to see if there are any events
Pride Event/Parade
Contact a town visitor center
Civic Committee
If you have difficulty identifying a cultural event in your community, please contact your Instructor immediately.

This document provides an executive summary of a report by the European Women's Lobby assessing the implementation of the Beijing Platform for Action over the past 20 years in Europe. It finds that while progress has been made in some areas, gender equality has not been fully achieved and new challenges have emerged. The summary highlights that women now participate in all areas of society but still face discrimination. It also notes that a renewed feminist movement has emerged but is facing a strong backlash. Overall, the assessment finds that gender mainstreaming has not been fully implemented in the EU and gender stereotypes persist. The report aims to inform EU policies and actions over the next 5 years to further advance women's rights and gender equality in Europe.

Breast cancer: Post menopausal endocrine therapy
Breast cancer in postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) status is a common and complex condition that necessitates a multifaceted approach to management. HR+ breast cancer means that the cancer cells grow in response to hormones such as estrogen and progesterone. This subtype is prevalent among postmenopausal women and typically exhibits a more indolent course compared to other forms of breast cancer, which allows for a variety of treatment options.
Diagnosis and Staging
The diagnosis of HR+ breast cancer begins with clinical evaluation, imaging, and biopsy. Imaging modalities such as mammography, ultrasound, and MRI help in assessing the extent of the disease. Histopathological examination and immunohistochemical staining of the biopsy sample confirm the diagnosis and hormone receptor status by identifying the presence of estrogen receptors (ER) and progesterone receptors (PR) on the tumor cells.
Staging involves determining the size of the tumor (T), the involvement of regional lymph nodes (N), and the presence of distant metastasis (M). The American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) staging system is commonly used. Accurate staging is critical as it guides treatment decisions.
Treatment Options
Endocrine Therapy
Endocrine therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for HR+ breast cancer in postmenopausal women. The primary goal is to reduce the levels of estrogen or block its effects on cancer cells. Commonly used agents include:
Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulators (SERMs): Tamoxifen is a SERM that binds to estrogen receptors, blocking estrogen from stimulating breast cancer cells. It is effective but may have side effects such as increased risk of endometrial cancer and thromboembolic events.
Aromatase Inhibitors (AIs): These drugs, including anastrozole, letrozole, and exemestane, lower estrogen levels by inhibiting the aromatase enzyme, which converts androgens to estrogen in peripheral tissues. AIs are generally preferred in postmenopausal women due to their efficacy and safety profile compared to tamoxifen.
Selective Estrogen Receptor Downregulators (SERDs): Fulvestrant is a SERD that degrades estrogen receptors and is used in cases where resistance to other endocrine therapies develops.
Combination Therapies
Combining endocrine therapy with other treatments enhances efficacy. Examples include:
Endocrine Therapy with CDK4/6 Inhibitors: Palbociclib, ribociclib, and abemaciclib are CDK4/6 inhibitors that, when combined with endocrine therapy, significantly improve progression-free survival in advanced HR+ breast cancer.
Endocrine Therapy with mTOR Inhibitors: Everolimus, an mTOR inhibitor, can be added to endocrine therapy for patients who have developed resistance to aromatase inhibitors.
Chemotherapy
Chemotherapy is generally reserved for patients with high-risk features, such as large tumor size, high-grade histology, or extensive lymph node involvement. Regimens often include anthracyclines and taxanes.

We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.Know the difference between Endodontics and Orthodontics.
