4 ppt on the challenge of poverty (short version) by bp broderick pabillo
The document discusses several topics related to poverty in the Philippines:
1. It defines the different socioeconomic classes in the Philippines based on household income, from the wealthy Class AB making over $100,000 per year to the very poor Class E making as little as $50 per month.
2. It provides data on indicators of poverty such as education levels, health expenditures, unemployment and underemployment rates, and numbers of overseas Filipino workers.
3. It discusses attitudes that can be taken towards the poor, emphasizing the need for genuine concern and love rather than disdain, indifference, patronization, or using the poor.

This document presents the idea of a global health service (GHS) that would allow for a connectedness across health systems worldwide. It suggests that by envisioning such a service, where resources and support could flow freely to those in need, positive change for global health may be possible. Current issues like lack of access to care in low-income countries and unhealthy behaviors in high-income countries could benefit from a more global perspective that embraces the interdependence of all people's health. The document aims to engage readers in imaginatively exploring how a GHS could help achieve better health for all.

National Council Magazine - Crisis to Recovery Edition
The article discusses the need for improved crisis services in the US. Currently, many people in crisis end up in emergency rooms without adequate care or follow up. The authors argue that a comprehensive community-based crisis system is needed to treat mental health crises with the same urgency as physical health emergencies. Examples from some states and communities show promising approaches, including using data and technology for real-time coordination, and peer-based crisis services that provide support in home-like settings rather than institutions. The authors call for a national effort to transform crisis mental health care.

“The Experimental Child”: Child, Family & Community Impacts of the Coronaviru...Université de Montréal
Abstract
Not only is the coronavirus crisis a natural laboratory of stress offering health and social care services a unique historical opportunity to observe its impact on entire populations around the world, but the responses to the crisis by international health authorities, such as the WHO, along with national and local educational institutions and health care and social services, are creating an unprecedented and unpredictable environment for children and youth. This hostile new environment for growth and development is marked by the sudden and unpredictable imposition of confinement and social isolation, cutting off or limiting opportunities for the development of cognitive abilities, peer relationships, and social skills, while exposing vulnerable children and youth to depriving, negligent, or even abusive home environments.
For this reason, this crisis has been renamed a syndemic, encompassing two different categories of disease—an infectious disease (SARS-CoV-2) and an array of non-communicable diseases (NCDs). Together, these conditions cluster within specific populations following deeply-embedded patterns of inequality and vulnerability (Horton, 2020). These pre-existing fault lines of inequity, poverty, mental illness, racism, ableism, ageism create stigma and discrimination and amplify the impacts of this syndemic. And children are the most vulnerable population around the world. The impact on children is part of a cascade of consequences affecting societies at large, smaller communities, and the multigenerational family, all of which impinge on children and youth as the lowest common denominator (Di Nicola & Daly, 2020).
This exceptional set of circumstances—in response not only to the biomedical and populational health aspects but also in constructing policies for entire societies—is creating an “experimental childhood” for billions of children and youth around the world. With its commitment to the social determinants of health and mental health, notably in light of the monumental Adverse Childhood Events (ACE) studies (Felitti & Anda, 2010), social psychiatry and global mental health in partner with child and family psychiatry and allied professions must now consider their roles for the future of these “experimental children” around the world. The parameters for observing the conditions of this coronavirus-induced syndemic in the family and in society, along with recommendations for social psychiatric interventions, and prospective paediatric, psychological, and social studies will be outlined.
Keywords: Children & families, COVID-19, syndemic, ACE Study, confinement, social isolationCafod Faith In Action
The document discusses Catholic teachings on wealth, poverty, and social justice. It provides several biblical quotes about caring for the poor and needy. Catholic Social Teaching is defined as a collection of documents published by the Catholic Church over the last hundred years addressing modern political, cultural, and economic issues in light of faith. Two popes are quoted emphasizing that the earth's goods should be shared fairly and surplus wealth from rich countries should help those in need.
Search worksheet 1
The document provides guidance on conducting a thorough search process for answering reference questions. It involves 7 steps: 1) Identifying the main facets or concepts in the question, 2) Brainstorming synonyms, 3) Building a search grid to organize terms under each facet, 4) Looking up terms in the thesaurus, 5) Expressing the search as a Boolean statement combining facets, 6) Testing searches by facet before combining facets, and 7) Reviewing results and revising the search if needed. Conducting each step helps create an organized search strategy and ensures all important concepts are captured to thoroughly address the original question.

Second Life, Accessibility, And Universal Design
This document discusses principles of universal design and accessibility considerations for Second Life. It outlines the seven principles of universal design which aim to make things usable by all people to the greatest extent possible without need for adaptation. It also notes several considerations for Second Life, including an individual's perception of their disability, experience using Second Life, need for adaptations to use the interface, and ability to interact with activities and places in Second Life.

What’s a Person To Think?
This is a brief slideset that is used as a display at Healthinfo Island in Second Life. The display uses a very current news account of a health danger to discuss potential problems with media reductiveness of more complex issues, and reliability of sources.
Healthinfo Island
HealthInfo Island provides consumers with information to make informed health decisions. The website offers resources on diseases, conditions, treatments, healthy living and nutrition. Visitors can learn about important health topics through reliable content designed to help them understand their options and take control of their healthcare.
Finding Quality HIV/AIDS Information
The document summarizes a workshop on finding quality HIV/AIDS information. It discusses using Google for health searches and provides tips on ensuring websites meet standards for authoritativeness, privacy and other criteria. It also introduces MedlinePlus.gov as a portal for basic health information and provides a quick guide for determining the appropriate level of health information resources.
Looking For Health
The document summarizes a workshop on finding reliable health information online. It discusses evaluating websites for accuracy and credibility, avoiding sites that use fear, greed, or questionable medical claims to sell products. The workshop will cover tips for using search engines like Google to find quality health information, how to use the MedlinePlus site, and how to evaluate what information is found.
Roots & Wings
The document discusses searching for health information online. It mentions Google's new beta project on health topics and recommends MedlinePlus as a reliable portal. It also discusses exploring search results for "attention deficit disorder" using different search methods and the importance of evaluating the authority of information sources. The conclusion emphasizes that online health information is improving but awareness of authority is still important, and MedlinePlus provides reliable information while exploration can reward later search efforts.
Come see what we’ve got!
The document announces a workshop on vision resources to be held at HealthInfo Island. It provides the location of the workshop and the name of the organizer. It requests feedback from attendees on what they thought of the workshop and how to provide that feedback.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Artificial Intelligence for XMLDevelopment
In the rapidly evolving landscape of technologies, XML continues to play a vital role in structuring, storing, and transporting data across diverse systems. The recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) present new methodologies for enhancing XML development workflows, introducing efficiency, automation, and intelligent capabilities. This presentation will outline the scope and perspective of utilizing AI in XML development. The potential benefits and the possible pitfalls will be highlighted, providing a balanced view of the subject.
We will explore the capabilities of AI in understanding XML markup languages and autonomously creating structured XML content. Additionally, we will examine the capacity of AI to enrich plain text with appropriate XML markup. Practical examples and methodological guidelines will be provided to elucidate how AI can be effectively prompted to interpret and generate accurate XML markup.
Further emphasis will be placed on the role of AI in developing XSLT, or schemas such as XSD and Schematron. We will address the techniques and strategies adopted to create prompts for generating code, explaining code, or refactoring the code, and the results achieved.
The discussion will extend to how AI can be used to transform XML content. In particular, the focus will be on the use of AI XPath extension functions in XSLT, Schematron, Schematron Quick Fixes, or for XML content refactoring.
The presentation aims to deliver a comprehensive overview of AI usage in XML development, providing attendees with the necessary knowledge to make informed decisions. Whether you’re at the early stages of adopting AI or considering integrating it in advanced XML development, this presentation will cover all levels of expertise.
By highlighting the potential advantages and challenges of integrating AI with XML development tools and languages, the presentation seeks to inspire thoughtful conversation around the future of XML development. We’ll not only delve into the technical aspects of AI-powered XML development but also discuss practical implications and possible future directions.

Dream Not Of Other Worlds
- 1. Think onely what concernes thee and thy being; Dream not of other Worlds, what Creatures there Live… John Milton, Paradise Lost, Book VIII
- 15. Conclusions The danger of success? Why do we belong in virtual worlds? Challenges of global activity Getting started
- 16. “ But apt the Mind or Fancie is to roave Uncheckt, and of her roaving is no end” Milton, Paradise Lost Book VIII
Hinweis der Redaktion
- In ‘Paradise Lost,’ Milton wrote “ Think onely what concernes thee and thy being; Dream not of other Worlds, what Creatures there Live, in what state, condition or degree...” It is clear to me that he was not a librarian. After all, librarians are all about: change, the only constant I have known in libraries for over 20 years; support, which we provide through whatever means; and discovery, about what works (and what does not). It is not only our dealings with the known, - those things that so immediately and overwhelmingly concern us, daily, that move us to an uncertain future, but our discovery of the unknown, paralleled with development: we learn as we change as we learn and perhaps more so than ever, our experimentation, and even our play – counts. Even when there is no time for play, or experimentation, these activities can help us to imagine our future by lending us perspective we cannot easily have within the boundaries of our present-day walls. They can help us to link to one another and to our clients or patrons in new ways. Sharing new spaces, even temporarily can help to build relationships, may one day build new sources of funding - may help to redefine our profession yet again. My experiences in the multi-user virtual environment of Second Life for the past two years have helped me to see this, clearly. Multi-user virtual environments, or MUVEs, are differentiated from MMORPGs, or massively multiplayer online role-playing games like World of Warcraft, in that there is no real goal, as there is in such gaming. Instead, participants build their own world, right down to the rolling hills, flowers, trees, and walls. Between July 2006 (when I became active in Second Llife) and June, 2008, the number of registered users has swelled from several hundred thousand to over 14 million, with more than 800 librarians. Each of us has defined our own experience and goals. We come in to dance, to play, to meet new people; we come in as individuals, or affiliated with libraries or other organizations. Some of us disclose our ‘real life’ identities, and some do not. We are building things, teaching and learning, connecting in ways we never thought possible. We are discussing the differences between real life and second life. And as we do so, coming to new understanding. A very partial list of library affiliations would include university, law, science fiction, public, art, genealogy, and medical librarians, along with SLA, ALA, the IBM library of computer science, an educational technology library, state libraries, the National Llibrary of Medicine, the library for Ira Flatow’s NPR Science Fridays, libraries from Stanford, UCLA, and Dublin, New Zealand, Stockholm, and many others – and among them, a consumer health library, to be found on Healthinfo island. In real life, I’m a doctoral student focused on evidence-based librarianship, who for 20 years has worked in college, law, medical, and public libraries –
