Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).

role of women and girls in various terror groupssadiakorobi2
Women have three distinct types of involvement: direct involvement in terrorist acts; enabling of others to commit such acts; and facilitating the disengagement of others from violent or extremist groups.
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

5 Public speaking tips from TED - Visualized summarySpeakerHub

I. Foreword
Malaria is in the news. As it should! According to World Health Organisation (WHO), “In many parts
of the world, the parasites have developed resistance to a number of malaria medicines.” As we
have been observing, the malarial parasite seems to have mutated: the symptoms of the disease are
changing; the efficacy of medicines has also become suspect. The malaria outbreak that has caused
23 deaths in Mumbai since June may have become a political blame game, but it raises several
intrinsic issues as well.
We at Praja.org have done a systemic study of healthcare across all the civic wards of Mumbai. We
studied the data for 11 sensitive diseases - Diarrhoea, Hyper Tension, Malaria, Tuberculosis,
Diabetes, Typhoid, Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Dengue, Cholera and HIV – as sensitive diseases The
results are startling, and inferences shocking. Clearly, it urges loudly upon all of us – citizens, elected
representatives and civic administration – to take note of the trends.
In 2008-2009, K East – Andheri East reported the maximum incidences of sensitive diseases. A year
later, Andheri East was trumped by 4 other wards with far less population! In 2009-2010, Kurla (W)
reported the highest cases of sensitive diseases followed by Parel, Prabhadevi, Andheri (E) and
Mazgaon areas. In fact, these five wards seem to be consistent in reporting highest cases of sensitive
diseases. Have we tried to find out the intrinsic causes behind this trend? Should we not think of
long-term prevention measures?
The data in the following pages reveal a trend. Statistics do not lie; they warn us of a malaise that
can very well turn into an epidemic, if not tackled quickly on almost a war-footing! Do you realise
that of all the sensitive diseases reported in the city of Mumbai, the maximum complaints
throughout the year across all civic dispensaries is that of diarrhoea! While the privileged population
of the city has access to bottled water and filtering systems, many of the economically challenged
population has no recourse but to consume potable water supplied by the BMC. They are the ones
who are also likely to visit civic dispensaries! It is indeed a crying shame that in this day and age,
potable water supplied by the civic administration leads to diarrhoea? Diarrhoea is a water-borne
disease. Clearly the quality of water is suspect! The civic administration definitely needs to clean up
its act and its water!
Why is it that we are constantly fire-fighting? Why do we always try to shut the door after the horses
have fled? Why can we not be proactive? Why should we not take preventive measures so that
disasters are avoided in the first place? In fact, our elected representatives too need to start asking
pertinent questions. Each year, we have 36 councillors on the Public Health Committee of the BMC.
In two years (2008-2010) a total of 28 health committee meetings were held. A total of 63 questions
were asked in these meetings, maximum of them related to staff behaviour. Not a single question
was raised about improving or enhancing health environment in the wards. Do our elected
representatives even know what are the pertinent issues plaguing their wards?
Our aim at Praja.org aims is to arm our elected representatives and citizens with pertinent
information that can be a great motivator for the civic administration. We seek the support of the
media in spreading the word for the benefit of our entire city.
