This document provides an overview of seizures and epilepsy. It defines seizures as clinical manifestations of abnormal neuronal electrical activity and epilepsy as two or more unprovoked seizures occurring more than 24 hours apart. Several seizure and epilepsy classifications are discussed. The pathophysiology of seizures is incompletely understood but may involve excitatory neurotransmitters and genetic factors. Diagnosis involves differentiating seizures from other events through history, exam, and tests like EEG.
This document provides recommendations for different types of epilepsy and the antiepileptic drugs that are most effective for each. Generalized tonic-clonic seizures are best treated with valproate, while complex partial seizures respond well to carbamazepine, oxcarbazepine, or valproate. Valproate is also recommended for myoclonic epilepsy and infantile spasms. Lamotrigine or valproate are suggested for juvenile myoclonic epilepsy in females, and valproate in males.
This document discusses self-healing and self-organization from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine. It views health as a dynamic state where a system is open to information exchange without losing its characteristics. Disease occurs when a system is pushed beyond a threshold by triggers. Symptoms represent attractors that can be used for diagnosis and treatment. Treatment aims to design interventions for complex systems using methods like biomarker fingerprinting to address multiple subtypes of diseases like diabetes.
The document discusses the natural healing power of pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) therapy. It summarizes that PEMF therapy can help break the cycle of pain by promoting muscle relaxation, improved circulation, decreased inflammation, and improved movement.

The UN Joint Staff Pension Fund invested in two exchange-traded funds that aim to reduce carbon emissions exposure without sacrificing returns. The ETFs track an index that underweights high carbon emitters rather than divesting them. This allows an 80% reduction in carbon footprint while closely tracking the broader market. The UN investment of $75 million each in the ETFs was meant to encourage their adoption and send a message about addressing climate change. Initial investor response has been positive, though ESG investing remains a small niche.
This document summarizes a study analyzing the hydrodynamic damping of collective motion in a densely packed, quasi-two-dimensional colloidal particle suspension using video microscopy. The system consists of densely packed, soft, deformable particles sandwiched between coverslips that are tracked at 1000 frames per second. By analyzing the particle displacements over time for different normal modes, the researchers are able to determine damping parameters like the friction coefficient, which measures hydrodynamic interactions between the particles. They find that unlike a similar prior study, their measured friction coefficient does not appear to vanish as expected.

Cell division is a fundamental biological process that enables the growth, development, and repair of living organisms. It's the process by which a parent cell divides into two or more daughter cells, each carrying a complete set of genetic instructions. This intricate process occurs in two primary ways: mitosis and meiosis. Mitosis is responsible for the creation of identical daughter cells, ensuring the maintenance of genetic information for growth and tissue repair. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a specialized form of cell division that occurs in sexually reproducing organisms, producing gametes (sperm and egg cells) with half the number of chromosomes, contributing to genetic diversity in offspring.

How could modern LA research address data-related ethics issues in informal and situated professional learning? I will identify in this talk three relevant insights based on field studies around workplace LA interventions: Firstly, in informal and situated learning, data isnt just about the learners. Secondly, the affordances of manual and automatic data tracking for learning are very different, with manual tracking allowing a high degree of learner control over data. Thirdly, learning is not necessarily a shared goal in workplaces. These can be translated into seeing a potential for systems endowed with sufficient natural-language-processing capability (now seemingly at our fingertips with LLMs), and socio-technical design and scenario-based data collection analysis as design and research methods.
Pig farming, pork farming, pig production or hog farming is the raising and breeding of domestic pigs as livestock, and is a branch of animal husbandry. Pigs are farmed principally for food (e.g. pork: bacon, ham, gammon) and skins.
Pigs are amenable to many different styles of farming: intensive commercial units, commercial free range enterprises, or extensive farming (being allowed to wander around a village, town or city, or tethered in a simple shelter or kept in a pen outside the owner's house). Historically, farm pigs were kept in small numbers and were closely associated with the residence of the owner, or in the same village or town.[1] They were valued as a source of meat and fat, and for their ability to convert inedible food into meat and manure, and were often fed household food waste when kept on a homestead.[2] Pigs have been farmed to dispose of municipal garbage on a large scale.[3]
All these forms of pig farm are in use today, though intensive farms are by far the most popular, due to their potential to raise a large amount of pigs in a very cost-efficient manner.[4] In developed nations, commercial farms house thousands of pigs in climate-controlled buildings.[5] Pigs are a popular form of livestock, with more than one billion pigs butchered each year worldwide, 100 million in the United States. The majority of pigs are used for human food, but also supply skin, fat and other materials for use in clothing, ingredients for processed foods,[6] cosmetics,[7] and medical use.[8]Pig farming has gained importance today. Pigs have inherited capacity to acclimatize with varying climatic conditions. Pigs cannot withstand high temperature climate.
Pigs are adjusted to varied rearing practices and consume different types of food (Omnivorous) to attain higher growth and meat production.
Pigs will attain 60-70kg body weight in 6-8months period.
Female pigs i.e., sows will come to heat at age of 8-9 months but avoid using male pigs (Boars) for breeding purpose until it attains one year of age.
Adult sows when bred during right time after attaining maturity will farrow 8-12 piglets in 112-118 days of gestation period (i.e., about 4 months of gestation). Feedefficiencyis to gain one Kg live weightfor every 2.75-3kg feed consumed (FCR: 1:2.75). There are many advantageous in pig rearing. Pork is available at a cheaper price with nutritious and highly palatable tasty meat of higher quality animal protein. Pig bones are used for producing bone meal and also used for purification of sugar in sugar industry.
The manure droppings and urine are good fertilizers which enhance the soil fertilityand improve grain production.
Pig hairs (Bristles) are used for making brushes and ropes, hooves are used for shirt button making and preparation of gum. Hence, pigs are called as multi utility domestic animals. Farmers can take up piggery farming and reduce their debt burden and improve their profits and livelihood.
