Medicine in Context: ten years’ experience in diversity education for medical students in Greater Western Sydney, Australia

Objective: This paper describes the Western Sydney University School of Medicine (WSUSoM) diversity education program, Medicine in Context (MiC). MiC implements community-engaged learning and partnership pedagogy in teaching diverse social determinants of health to first clinical year medical students. Central to MiC content and delivery methods is the local region’s diversity which is also reflected in the student population and MiC staff. Methodology: This is a descriptive report about how the WSUSoM staff with community and General Practice (GP) partners have co-designed, co-delivered, co-assessed and co-evaluated the MiC program in 2009-2018. In keeping with the community-engaged learning and partnership pedagogy, the report is co-authored by a cross section of MiC stakeholders: the WSUSoM staff members, community partners and an alumna. Results: Ten weeks' immersion in community-based services, with debriefing and scaffolding in tutorials and workshops, exposes students to the complex interplay between social determinants of health and clinical practice. Sharing of experiences, insights and reflections in safe environments enables students to overcome the uneasiness of diversity education. Quality assurance reviews identified positive trends in students’ quality of learning and satisfaction in the program following evidence-based continuous improvements of the program design and delivery. Conclusion: Implementation of community-engaged learning and partnership pedagogy in the MiC program, supported by ongoing commitment from the WSUSoM and its community and GP partners, has been successful in engaging students in diversity education. The synthesis of diversity education and clinical learning throughout the MiC program is an important step toward building competency in patient-centred care.
ASSESSMENT OF NAGINA AREA OF DISTT. BIJNOR U.P. ON THE BASIS OF STANDARD PRECIPITATION INDEX (SPI) FOR DROUGHT INTENSITY

Drought is a natural and worldwide phenomenon, usually defined by periods of less than normal water availability, and is one of the major weather related hazards. Droughts have been dramatically increased in number and intensity in many parts of the world. Drought is a decrease of water availability in a particular period and over a particular area. Based on the drought analysis using the SPI criteria, appropriate crop planning and design of rainwater harvesting and storage structures in the drought affected areas can be proposed in drought affected areas. Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI) was calculated at different time scales (1, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months). The SPI is a drought index based on the probability of an observed precipitation deficit occurring over a given prior time period. The SPI, calculated for a desired period at any location, are based on the long term precipitation record (30 years or more). The positive SPI values show greater than medium precipitation, while negative SPI values indicate less than medium precipitation. The results shows that the SPI can be used for better assessment of drought as it considers larger range of moving sums of rainfall data. Since SPI uses for the running sum of rainfall values at multi-time scales (1 to 24 months) and more variables depending on the statistical distributions used, it gives better assessment of meteorological drought at multi-time scales. A proper rainwater harvesting and management program is an appropriate option for a severely-dry year, but, on the contrary, a situation of wet years with heavy rainfall during monsoon months followed by severely-dry period calls for the need of rainwater harvesting during monsoon and its proper utilization during subsequent dry periods.
Brain Imaging Alterations in Posttraumatic Stress Disorder

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is associated with a host of neurobiological changes, including abnormalities in subcortical and cortical structure and function. The majority of neuroimaging studies have been motivated by a fear-conditioning perspective to examine neural changes associated with PTSD, with several studies finding alterations in the amygdala, hippocampus, and medial prefrontal cortex. However, not all studies have replicated these findings, suggesting that perhaps more nuanced models of PTSD may be needed to account for the pathophysiology of the disorder. We review neuroimaging findings related to the fear model, encouraging researchers to consider additional factors such as trauma type, age of trauma, and affective neurodynamics. Explicit consideration of these factors may facilitate greater coherence among studies going forward and advance our understanding of the neurobiological alterations associated with PTSD. [Psychiatr Ann. 2016;46(9):519-526. ] Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), resulting from a traumatic experience (or set of experiences), is a debilitating disorder with a lifetime prevalence in US adults of approximately 7.8%. 1 PTSD symptoms include avoidance, re-experiencing of the trauma, hyperarousal and hypervigilance, sleep disturbances, and anhedonia. People suffering from PTSD show signs of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis dysregulation, alterations to neural circuits involved in emotional and stress regulation, and heightened fearpotentiated startle responses. This article highlights the current state of neuroimaging research in PTSD, with a particular focus on shortcomings of the “status quo” picture of brainimaging alterations and how the field Daniel W.

Learning Model for Phishing Website Detection

Website portal empowered with information technology are of great importance in present scenario. With access to data all around the world, securing our information becomes an issue of topmost priority. Over the decade there have been numerous attacks by phishing websites and people have lost huge resources. Such malicious websites, also known as phishing website, steal information of authenticate users and carry out illegal transactions by misusing the personal information. Phishing website links and associated e-mails are sent to billions of users daily, thereby becoming a big concern for cyber security. In this paper, we address the phishing problem using machine learning approach applied on our proposed model, which uses 30 distinct features for phishing detection. We extracted multiple features from the website link and applied appropriate algorithms to classify the link as legitimate or phishing links.
SANCTUM: Resource-and Job management for performing data mining on Twitter data, with Visualizations of output

The application of data mining algorithms to social media data presents interesting opportunities to researchers and businesses alike. However, extracting useful information from the results of the algorithms can often be difficult and tedious. Setting up and maintaining an environment that’s capable of analyzing large amounts of data can also be complicated. This paper presents a system that makes the analysis of Twitter datasets convenient, and makes it easy to extract meaningful information by creating useful visualizations of the results. An iterative, user-centered design process was followed to create the system’s interface. The interface was tested with potential users. Some problems were identified and rectified. Overall, the interface was found to be easy to use, convenient, and useful. Possible areas for improvements and extensions to the system are also identified.
Per-Vehicle Coverage in a Bus-Based General-Purpose Sensor Network

Vehicle-based sensing is a valuable paradigm to serve third-party applications, but understanding the coverage of such networks is not trivial. For urban buses, trajectories are spatially predictable, but traffic conditions can hinder data timeliness. In this letter, we propose a metric to quantify the contribution of individual buses to the coverage of different applications. We apply this metric to bus mobility traces from Rio de Janeiro for applications of waste management, air quality, and noise monitoring, ranking buses accordingly. We show that bus contribution is strongly related to the application – 23% of buses change more than 2,000 places in different application rankings.
Is Peritoneal Dialysis a Suitable Method of Renal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Injury

Research focus: The role of peritoneal dialysis (PD) in the management of acute kidney injury (AKI) is not well defined, although it remains frequently used, especially in lowresource settings. A review was performed to ascertain its suitability as the “first choice” in AKI patient treatment and to compare PD with extracorporeal blood purification (EBP), such as hemodialysis (HD). Research methods used: Design, setting, participants, and measurements of MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Central Register of Controlled Trials were searched. The review selected eligible adult population studies on PD in the setting of AKI. Results/findings of the research: This paper suggests that PD should be consid‐ ered as a valuable method for AKI since it offers several advantages over HD, such as technical simplicity, no extracorporeal circuit, and no bleeding risk. It offers good cardiovascular tolerance and less cardiovascular instability, thus reducing kidney aggression by ischemia and hydroelectrolytic imbalance. Main conclusions and recommendations: Finally, not only in developing countries but also in developed countries, PD is relatively simple and inexpensive and is more widely used. Various techniques of PD have been developed, and these have been adapted for use in AKI. There is currently no evidence to suggest significant differences in mortality between PD and HD in AKI. There is a need for further good-quality evidence in this impor‐ tant area.

La maladie de Parkinson et les syndromes parkinsoniens apparentés Parkinson’s disease and other parkinsonian syndromes

Parkinson’s disease represents the main cause of parkinsonian syndrome with precise clinical criteria and a prolonged sensitivity to the dopaminergic treatments. In a systematic way, in front of any parkinson’s syndrome, an iatrogenic origin must be required (neuroleptic therapy). Other atypical degenerative parkinsonian syndromes include: multiple system atrophy and dementia with Lewy bodies within the group of synucleinopathy; progressive supranuclear palsy and corticobasal degeneration within the group of tauopathy. These diseases are distinguished in particular from the Parkinson’s disease by the weak one, even the absence of reactivity with the dopaminergic treatment resulting in particular from postsynaptic lesions. The clinical and paraclinic characteristics of these various pathologies will be developed in this article like their therapeutic approach. # 2007 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.

Guided Underwater Survey Using Semi-Global Visual Odometry

This paper presents a real-time visual odometry met hod adapted to long autonomy underwater surveys. A fast pose estimation procedure is followed by a semi-global optimization using bundle adjustment. Particularly, we propose a new approach to ap proximate the uncertainty for each estimated relative pose based on machine learning manifesting o simulated data. Neighboring observations used for the semi-global optimization are establish ed based on a probabilistic distance in the estimat ed trajectory map. This helps to find the frames wi th potential overlaps with the current frame while being robust to estimation drifts. Our method is te sted on several sorts of sites including a newly di scovered shipwreck. The obtained results demonstrate the fficiency in terms of accuracy w.r. t. to loca l approaches, and the gain in processing time and the used resources w.r. t. global methods.
Political Misinformation

Misinformation occurs when people hold incorrect factual beliefs and do so confidently. The problem plagues political systems and is exceedingly difficult to correct. In this review, we assess the empirical literature on political misinformation in the United States and consider what scholars have learned since the publication of that early study. We conclude that research on this topic has developed unevenly. Over time, scholars have elaborated on the psychological origins of political misinformation, and this work has cumulated in a productive way. By contrast, although there is an extensive body of research on how to correct misinformation, this literature is less coherent in its recommendations. Finally, a nascent line of research asks whether people’s reports of their factual beliefs are genuine or are instead a form of partisan cheerleading. Overall, scholarly research on political misinformation illustrates the many challenges inherent in representative democracy.
Mentors: what’s important? A study of trainee teacher perceptions of effective mentor strategies

Programmes of teacher training almost universally follow a model of the allocation of an experienced teacher as a mentor in a school placement. This arrangement is intended to help the trainee to understand her experiences, develop her in the skills of teaching, integrate her with the school and ensure the expectations of stakeholders such as the school leadership, government, students and parents, are met. These are complex and sometimes conflicting requirements, meaning the role of mentor is demanding and difficult. The literature commonly refers to the mentortrainee relationship as being particularly problematic. This study reports on an attempt to identify the most important elements of mentoring by surveying PGCE secondary maths teacher trainees. The results indicate remarkable consistency of the importance of all mentor practices despite highly varied trainee background, knowledge and experience, with no strong skew regarding relationships. The implications of this consistency are considered.
FAQ 13.2: Will the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets Contribute to Sea Level Change over the Rest of the Century?

The Greenland, West and East Antarctic ice sheets are the largest reservoirs of freshwater on the planet. As such, they have contributed to sea level change over geological and recent times. They gain mass through accumulation (snowfall) and lose it by surface ablation (mostly ice melt) and outflow at their marine boundaries, either to a floating ice shelf, or directly to the ocean through iceberg calving. Increases in accumulation cause global mean sea level to fall, while increases in surface ablation and outflow cause it to rise. Fluctuations in these mass fluxes depend on a range of processes, both within the ice sheet and without, in the atmosphere and oceans. Over the course of this century, however, sources of mass loss appear set to exceed sources of mass gain, so that a continuing positive contribution to global sea level can be expected. This FAQ summarizes current research on the topic and provides indicative magnitudes for the various end-of-century (2081-2100 with respect to 1986-2005) sea level contributions from the full assessment, which are reported as the two-in-three probability level across all emission scenarios.
Challenges Faced by Teachers and Learners on Drug and Substance Abuse in Public Secondary Schools in Kenya

Drug and alcohol are significant problems that affect school-age adolescence at earlier age than in the past. Young people frequently start to experiment alcohol, tobacco, and other drugs during the middle school years, with a smaller number beginning during middle school years, and a smaller number starting during high school. The purpose of this study was to look into challenges faced by teachers and learners on drug and substance abuse in selected public secondary schools in Kenya. The research was based on social learning theory. The research was conducted in Nandi County schools in Kenya. Twenty four randomly selected schools out of 235 county schools were engaged in the study. A sample size of 1292 respondents was obtained using purposive and simple random sampling techniques. The participants included Deputy Principals, Counselors, and teachers teaching Life Skills subject, students and Focus Discussions Groups. Questionnaires and structured interviews were used to collect the data. The data collected was analyzed using descriptive statistics, frequency tables and percentages. The findings of this study revealed that more than half (65%) of all respondents pointed out that there was poor implementation of drug abuse policies that hinder drug abuse decline among students in public secondary schools. More than half (54%) indicated that family challenges were pressing and most critical hindrances towards decline of drug abuse among secondary schools. Majority (85%) of the respondents, Deputy Principals, Life Skills teacher and Counselors, Focus Discussion Group reported that frustrations have made students to abuse drugs. Most respondents (85%) of the four major groups combined, Deputy Principals, Life Skill Teachers, Counselors, Focus Discussion Groups pointed out day school students was one of the critical challenge in drug abuse reduction among students in public schools. Outsiders were found to be clandestinely selling drugs to students during festivities such as music and games. Teachers and school security officers in most schools did not bother to check on student luggage on arrival during opening and midterms which became an easy leeway of getting drugs into schools. The study recommended that drug abuse in schools was a challenge that needed to be addressed by all stake holders in education. Guidance and counseling in schools should be revamped, intensified and adequately inspired to cater for the needs of all students including those affected by drugs

Technical Report CISPA-TR-2020-03-09-BBCR on Slitheen++: Stealth TLS-based Decoy Routing

We present Slitheen++, a decoy routing system that—in contrast to its predecessor Slitheen—is not susceptible to traﬃc analysis in the upstream channel. Slitheen++ overcomes key challenges such as scheduling for covert connections and technologies to more realistically emulate a real user’s behavior, such as crawling or delaying overt communication. We measure Slitheen(++) according to metrics that not only show the maximum theoretical throughput of the decoy systems, but for the ﬁrst time, also assess the actual user experience by measuring loading times of websites from ten covert targets. We show that emulating a user increases loading times, yet raises the diﬃculty for an advanced censor to expose decoy routing as such. For example, crawling raises the median of the loading time for covert setups by 1 second from 7 s to 8 s.
