Building New Institutional Capacity in M&E: The Experience of National AIDS C...MEASURE Evaluation
The document discusses capacity building efforts of the National AIDS Coordinating Authority of Nigeria to strengthen monitoring and evaluation systems. It describes how various assessment tools were used to identify gaps and priorities for strengthening data quality, monitoring, and evaluation. Specific interventions included the M&E Strengthening and Sustainability Toolkit, data quality assessments, training, and quarterly mentoring to build capacity at national and regional levels. The efforts helped establish standardized data collection and reporting, improve data quality and use, and create institutional memory to support effective HIV/AIDS programs.
Generating Demand for HIV/AIDS Data & Information in the CaribbeanMEASURE Evaluation
The document discusses efforts to generate demand for HIV/AIDS data and information in the Caribbean region. It notes the low prevalence of HIV/AIDS in the Caribbean, limited staffing of national AIDS programs, and that monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes have typically been donor-driven rather than country-driven. It then outlines how the MEASURE Evaluation project worked with local stakeholders to identify data needs, build capacity for collecting and using information, and provide tools and training to address specific information demands. As a result, several assessments and country profiles were produced to inform strategic planning.
Mind masturbation refers to intellectual activity or thinking that serves no practical purpose and is non-productive. It can take the form of useless conversations intended to avoid taking action or circular discussions that decide nothing. Mind masturbation can occur individually through unproductive thinking patterns or collectively in group settings where discussions divert from the topic and prevent decisions from being made. While thinking is an inherently practical activity, mind masturbation wastes mental energy and resources through non-productive or circular thinking rather than accomplishing practical goals or tasks.
Pastoral issues relating to christian morality : MasturbationKrista Arianna Vitug
This document discusses Christian views on masturbation from a Catholic perspective. It defines masturbation and notes that it is a common practice among males. It then examines biblical passages regarding lust and sexual immorality. The Church teaches that sexuality is meant for procreation within marriage, so masturbation is seen as intrinsically disordered. While always objectively sinful, culpability depends on knowledge and intent. The document outlines factors that can contribute to masturbation and recommends ways to avoid urges, like prayer and avoiding arousing materials.
This document discusses various views on human sexuality and sexual morality from a Christian perspective. It addresses topics like premarital sex, masturbation, pornography, and cohabitation. Three main views on premarital sex are outlined: the natural impulse view, which sees sex as a pleasurable physical act; the affection view, which believes sex should be guided by intimacy between partners; and the abstinence view, which prohibits sex outside of marriage. The document also discusses sexuality within marriage and debates topics like how far physical intimacy can go before marriage.
This document provides an overview of a syllabus for studying Christian ethics, specifically focusing on three areas: bioethics, environmental ethics, and sexual ethics. It outlines key topics that will be examined within sexual ethics, including contraception, homosexuality, masturbation, and pornography. For each topic, it lists the key issues from a Christian perspective, such as debates around natural law and interpretations of relevant biblical passages. It also briefly outlines some differences in approaches between Catholicism and Anglicanism on issues like homosexuality. The document aims to objectively outline the topics and issues for discussion rather than taking positions.
This document discusses human sexuality and culture, specifically focusing on masturbation. It provides statistics on masturbation rates in college students and different countries. It then discusses some common reasons people masturbate as well as reasons some don't. It notes there is no single way people masturbate, whether male or female, and provides some examples of common techniques. It also references two studies on the effect of circumcision on male sexual pleasure and masturbation.
This document provides information on syphilis, caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. It is a contagious sexually transmitted disease with four stages: primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary. The primary stage involves a chancre at the infection site. Secondary syphilis presents with rashes and mucous membrane lesions. Latent syphilis involves no symptoms. Late stage syphilis can involve skin gummas, bone and neurological involvement like tabes dorsalis or general paresis. Syphilis screening involves nontreponemal and treponemal tests and darkfield microscopy of lesions.

This document discusses the sin of masturbation and argues that it is harmful and against God's design. It provides several reasons for this view:
1) Masturbation excites the body to unnatural action and speeds exhaustion of vital energies, leading to physical and mental decline.
2) It begins with lustful thoughts, which Jesus said can be a form of adultery. It also often involves fantasy and pornography.
3) While it may provide temporary relief, it actually increases sexual desire over time and enslaves people to lust.
4) True purity can only be found in resisting sinful thoughts, not choosing between "lesser evils." God empowers us to overcome all sin through
The document lists 26 negative effects of persistent masturbation including reduced intelligence, eyesight, and energy; erectile dysfunction; premature ejaculation and aging; acne; skin discoloration; prominent veins; nutrient depletion; pain; fatigue; low quality sperm; headaches; relationship issues; respiratory illnesses; distraction from education; muscle loss; blood loss; fear and loss of confidence; hair loss; reduced immunity; and more.
This document outlines an ethics course that teaches Christian approaches to ethics. It discusses two main approaches: authority-based ethics that rely on biblical scripture, tradition, experience and reason; and natural law ethics based on humans fulfilling their purpose as created by God. For natural law, actions that support humans' purposes of living, working, reproducing etc. are good, and those that deny them are bad. The course will examine ethical issues in bioethics, environmental ethics and sexual ethics through these Christian lenses.
The document provides information about masturbation from a sexual health perspective. It discusses the history of stigma around masturbation and how views have changed. Previously, masturbation was thought to cause physical and mental harm, and extreme "cures" were used to prevent it. Now, masturbation is recognized to have potential benefits and is a normal part of sexuality for many. The document outlines some benefits like stress relief and sexual pleasure without risk of STIs or pregnancy. It also discusses how to reduce stigma by promoting open discussion and education about masturbation.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

Editor's Notes
HIV Surveillance in Women For all slides in this series, the following notes apply: Estimated numbers and rates of diagnoses of HIV infection are based on data from 46 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas that have had confidential name-based HIV infection reporting for a sufficient length of time (i.e., implemented in area since at least January 2007 and reported to CDC since at least June 2007) to allow for stabilization of data collection and for adjustment of the data in order to monitor trends. Estimated numbers and rates of AIDS diagnoses are based on data from the 50 states, the District of Columbia, and 6 U.S. dependent areas. For the first time, the Republic of Palau has been included in numbers and rates of AIDS diagnoses, deaths, and persons living with AIDS. Rates are not calculated by race/ethnicity for the 6 U.S. dependent areas because the U.S. Census Bureau does not collect information from all U.S. dependent areas. At the time of development of this slide series, complete 2010 census data were not available from the U.S. Census Bureau. Therefore, all U.S. population estimates and denominators used to calculate rates were based on the official postcensus estimates for 2009.
During 2007 though 2010, among females aged 13 years and older, black/African American females accounted for the largest estimated numbers of diagnoses of HIV infection each year in the 46 states and 5 U.S. dependent areas, although the number decreased from 7,033 in 2007 to 6,274 in 2010. White and Hispanic/Latino females had similar numbers of diagnoses of HIV infection each year. In 2010, an estimated 1,820 diagnoses of HIV infection were in Hispanic/Latino females, 1,735 diagnoses were in white females, 137 diagnoses were in Asian females, 133 were in females reporting multiple races, 61 diagnoses were in American Indian/Alaska Native females and 8 diagnoses were in Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander females. The following 46 states have had laws or regulations requiring confidential name-based HIV infection reporting since at least January 2007 (and reporting to CDC since at least June 2007): Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The 5 U.S. dependent areas include American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Of all AIDS diagnoses from 1985-2010, the estimated percentage among adult and adolescent females increased from 7% in 1985 to 25% in 2010. The numbers of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent females rose steadily from 1985 to 1993, when the AIDS surveillance case definition was expanded, and leveled off at approximately 13,000 AIDS diagnoses each year from 1993 through 1996. In 1996, AIDS diagnoses among females began to decline, primarily because of the success of antiretroviral therapies. In 2010, there were just over 8,400 AIDS diagnoses among females. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting.
This slide shows the numbers of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent females from 1985 through 2010 in the United States and 6 U.S. dependent areas. Black/African American females accounted for the largest estimated numbers of diagnoses of HIV infection each year among females, though the numbers have continually decreased from 7,045 in 2003 to 5,425 in 2010. White and Hispanic/Latino females had similar numbers of AIDS diagnoses each year. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old Office of Management and Budget race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
This slide shows the percentages of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent females by race/ethnicity from 1985 through 2010 in the United States and 6 U.S. dependent areas. Among females, the annual percentage of diagnoses has continued to increase among blacks/African Americans, from approximately 52% of diagnoses among females in 1985 to 64% in 2010. White females had a decreasing percentage of AIDS diagnoses through 1996 and the percentages have remained relatively stable since then. The percentage of AIDS diagnoses among Hispanic/Latino females have remained relatively stable (around 20%) since 1985. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old Office of Management and Budget race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
In 2010, the estimated rate of AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent females in the United States was 6.4 per 100,000 population. The rate of AIDS diagnoses among black/African American females (33.7) was nearly 22½ times as high as the rate for white females (1.5). The estimated number of AIDS diagnoses among females in 2009 was similar for Hispanics/Latino and white females; however, the rate for Hispanics/Latino females (7.1) was almost 5 times as high as the rate for white females. Relatively few cases were diagnosed among Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian/Other Pacific Islander females and females reporting multiple races; however, the rates for American Indian/Alaska Native females (4.6), Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander females (5.4) and females reporting multiple races (13.1) were higher than the rate for white females. The rate for Asian females was 1.2. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. The Asian category includes Asian/Pacific Islander legacy cases (cases that were diagnosed and reported under the old Office of Management and Budget race/ethnicity classification system). Hispanics/Latinos can be of any race.
In 2010, the highest percentage of diagnosed AIDS cases for all age groups of adults and adolescent females were attributed to heterosexual contact. However, the percentages attributed to heterosexual contact were higher among females aged 25-34 (83.7%) than among other age groups. Diagnosed AIDS cases attributed to injection drug use were highest among females aged 45 years and older (26.5%), followed by 20.0% in females aged 35-44, 16.0% in females aged 25-34 years, 12.3% in females aged 20-24 years, and 9.0% in females age 13–19 years. Among females age 13-19 years, 37.5% of diagnosed infections were attributed to “other” transmission categories, the majority of which were perinatal exposures. All displayed data are estimates. Estimated numbers resulted from statistical adjustment that accounted for reporting delays and missing risk-factor, but not for incomplete reporting. Heterosexual contact is with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection.
This slide presents the estimated rates of AIDS diagnoses (per 100,000 population) in 2010 among adult and adolescent black/African American, Hispanic/Latino and white females by region of residence in the United States. Most AIDS diagnoses among adult and adolescent females were among those who resided in the Northeast and the South. The highest rates of AIDS diagnoses were among black/African American females in the Northeast (50.1) and in the South (34.9). The highest rate of AIDS diagnoses among Hispanic/Latino females was in the Northeast (23.1). Data are not shown for Asian, American Indian/Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian/other Pacific Islander females or females reporting multiple races because the estimated numbers when stratified by region of residence are small. Regions of residence are defined as follows: Northeast—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont Midwest—Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Dakota, Wisconsin South—Alabama, Arkansas, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, West Virginia West—Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah, Washington, Wyoming All displayed data are estimates.
