Health Promotion Essay: Skin Cancer Awareness and Prevention Health Promotion Essay about Skin Cancer Awareness and Prevention. Include group members were Lawrence Essilfie, Olufunmilayo Dawodu,Carla Gillard, Neil Brannigan, Niamh Greaney and Fiona Opoku throughshared ideas, experiences and debates. This essay shall discuss a health promotion forum on awareness and prevention of â€Å"Skin cancer† which was carried out by student nurses, named above. The four main areas the essay will cover are assessment of health needs, approach used, and evaluation of the health forum and finally conclude with a summary of the health forum. World Health is an important issue in today’s society. A good definition of health is â€Å"A state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease† (World Health Organization, 1946). Skin cancer is defined as malignant cell that forms in the tissues of the skin outer layer. Generally, most forms of skin cancer characteristic increase in a pattern. It begins with a single cell, by mysterious reasons the cell begins to reproduce extremely quickly. This uncontrollable growth leads eventually to cancerous cells which spreading through the body, affect larger areas. It occurs in both men and women (Hounsome et al, 2009). Assessment health needs is a systematic method for reviewing the health issue facing the population leading to agreed priorities and resources allocation that will improve health inequalities (NICE, 2005). There is an enormous detrimental of skin cancer in the United Kingdom (UK) and worldwide; therefore the need to educate the public is important. Epidemiological and demographic statistics Skin cancer has been established as one of the common cancer in UK, men and women are likely to get skin cancer but have not been known to be the most common cancer in women. Cancer Research UK, (2011) supported that, in 2011 13,300 people in the UK were diagnosed with skin cancer. 71% of those diagnosed with skin cancer were men, 61% of those were women and that is, 37 people globally been diagnosed every day (Worldwide Cancer, 2012). Cancer Research UK, (2011) states that one in every nine people in the UK will develop skin cancer at some point in their life; more than 300,000 cases will be diagnosed by the year 2020. It has become the most common cancer in the UK and is a leading cause of death for men aged 34 to 54 (Macmillan, 2009). According to Cancer Research UK, (2011), the strongest risk factor for skin cancer after smoking and alcohol is ultraviolet light, tanning beds, genetics and age. The older the person, the higher is the risk of developing skin cancer. NICE, (2010) supported that, skin cancer is strongly related to age with 81% of cases occurring in both sex age 50years and over and nearly 48% of cases of skin cancer are diagnosed in the 50- 69 age group. The World Health Organization WHO (2011) supports, skin cancer to be in the group top ten cause of death in high income countries. Despite the high incidence rates in western countries, 89% of people diagnosed with skin cancer are due to early detection and treatment states (Parkin et al, 2010). The Australia and New Zealand have one of the highest incidence rates worldwide including North America and USA, UK making these countries a priority for skin cancer awareness and prevention. In 2010 skin cancer resulted in an estimated 11,790 deaths in undeveloped countries and 184,000 deaths in developed countries accounting for 12 and 16 percent, respectively of all cancer deaths in men and women states Sherris, (2002). Between 2006-2008 skins cancer began to rise at the young age of 25 years, following the statistics and research completed by researchers. The target group will be from 18-40 years of age. The rational for choosing this target group was; giving information to young adults can give early discovery which can result in treatment, which increases chances of preventing, and also considering the opportunity for youngster to fully understating the risk of skin cancer (Davies Macdowall, 2006). Factors There are public health aspects to most cancers. Prevention is vital, including maintain a healthy lifestyle. There are many social factors that can affect skin cancer as stated above. Little exposures to ultraviolet light and the right timing can reduce the chances of skin cancer including awareness of the disease (American Cancer Society, 2010). Studies found that, non-melanoma incidence is rising in younger people, especially among those aged 25-39 (Bath-Hextall et al. 2007). The rates of most serious skin cancer are higher with men, as well as the deaths rate (Cancer Research UK, 2014). Malignant melanoma incidence has also risen in last 20 years in England from a rate of 6.7 per 100,000 people in 1985-87 to around 17.3 per 100,000 people in 2004-14 (Hounsome et al. 2009). Office for National Statistics, (2009) supported skin cancer is a public health issue, by placing the number of skin cancer deaths in the UK, is increasing each year. WHO, (2011) prompting the government to increase the awareness of skin cancer, like promoting UK national skin screening program, to create the awareness (Macmillan, 2009). Health Education Authority. (1998). Skin cancer prevention: policy guidelines for local authorities is to provide shade structures in public places to be utilised by general members most especially, children and young adult. Emphases were being given to the need to provide shade in areas often used. DOH (2006) Skin cancer awareness policy supported that, outdoor workers should be conscious of when and time to work, the feel and look of their skin and through contractors will obtain education in the suitable use of protective clothing and sunscreens to prevent against skin cancer. NICE (2011) skin cancer guidance is to ensure the published skin cancer measures are both comprehensive and clear to the public. It promotes self aware, also supporting being skin aware and regular skin checking together offer the best chances of finding skin cancer early. WHO, (2011) be skin aware, supported also the leaflets encourages public to become more aware of their bodies generally and to get to know their own skin. In addition, CIEH, (2005) Also stating some risk reduction might be achieved with prevention, these strategies cannot eliminate the majority of skin cancer that develop in low and middle income countries where skin cancer is diagnosed in very late stages. Therefore early detection helps in order to improve skin cancer outcome and survival remains the cornerstone of skin cancer control. Bradshaw’s’ needs The type of needs chosen for raising skin cancer awareness and prevention is normative need. Normative need is a need that is identified by health professionals based on the available sources and then judge on how the needs can be meet. One disadvantages of normative need is that it is not an objective fact it reflects on the judgement of the health professional which may be different from the patients. (Naidoo Willis, 2009). An educational approach was used because the aim of the forum was to equip individuals with the knowledge about being skin awareness so they can be able to make a well informed decision regarding their lives (Miller, 2013). The approach is intended to have an outcome for the targeted group because they will have an understanding of skin cancer and how early detection can changes life’s (Scriven, 2010). Advantage of the approach is the public’s right of free choice as long as the health promoter identifies the educational content to the individual (Ewles Simnet, 2003), the promoters in this case had identified that, giving preventive measure is beneficial. The disadvantage of the approach is in spite of the individuals being educated and given information does not necessarily mean they will change (Naidoo Willis, 2009). Methods used to educate was leaflets, showing through poster how affected skin looks, wallet size cards with information, sample sun cream also discussions once educated the visitors had the right to make an informed choice (Miller, 2013). Aims and objectives are important to be specific, measurable, achievable, and realistic time oriented (Ewles Simnet, 2003). The groups aim was to raise awareness and prevention of skin cancer to the public aged between 18-40 years. The groups objectives were that, at the end of 4-5 minutes visitors will be able to list two ways to prevent them from getting skin cancer, can name two sign, symptoms and the main causes of skin cancer, they would be able to list any two things they learnt from visiting our stand and also be able to state where they can access further information on skin cancer (Scriven, 2010). The evaluation process that had been used is impact, process, outcome and income which are in line with (Naidoo Willis, 2009). Process is described as the activity that shows detailed account of the intervention being planned and carried out (Tonnes Tilford, 2001). To achieve aims and objectives the group set up rules, each member was given a task to do which will help in achieving aims and objectives, resources that were gathered are posters, sun scream with SFP 15 and leaflets for the health forum. Achieving this, effective communication and understanding of what was expected from every member of the group (Scriven, 2010). Process Evaluation Proposed successful working in partnership with colleagues help develop each other’s strengths (Ewles Simnet, 2003). The theme of the forum was ‘BE SUN SMART’ that represents skin cancer awareness and prevention. There were writing in orange and bold stating â€Å"Skin Cancer Awareness And Prevention,† which was eye catching as a member of the group printed an image both genders why half of their faces were affected and a moles at the back representing how to sport and prevent skin cancer developing (Miller, 2013). A hat, sunglasses and T-shirt were use visually to help our visitors think how to prevent their bodies from getting skin cancer whenever they are going under the sun, be sun smart were used as a rhymed to remember our visitors, Leaflets were distributed among the people visiting the stand and different literature resources were displayed for visitors to read and also take away with them for future purposes Bunton MacDonald, 2002) This proved effective as visitors did not know how to identify normal moles from the cancerous moles (Tones Tilford, 2001). After showing of how skin changes when it’s affect by cancer cell and how to prevent those, questionnaires were distributed to the visitors in order to measure and assess whether objectives were achieved (Naidoo Wills, 2009). Questionnaires were given to each visitor who visited our stand. The questionnaire was helpful as it allows the visitors time to think about their responses with intrusion and can be distributed to vast numbers of people at the same time (Louise Parker, 2007). Freebies like a wallet size card with the help line and a website to get more information was given out, SPF 15 sun cream and a bottle of water was given out to every visitor who filled out a questionnaire. Impact evaluation is relevant to health promotion because it measures the impact of the activity (Scriven, 2010). Attending the health forum was encouraging as different age groups attended. Lecturers of the group evaluated the group’s overall presentation gave positive feedback on the presentation and overall work and we also got a very positive feedback from participant as we made her aware to visit her GP about a mole she been having over three weeks. The immediate impact was measured using the questionnaire that was distributed during the forum. All twenty five questionnaires were completed and 68% of the public that attended the forum could state the promoters objectives’ (Miller, 2013). However, 32% of the public were not sure, out of the twenty five questionnaires, twenty five were completed by the targeted group 100%. Out of the twenty five questionnaires, eighteen of them feel more confident knowing how to avoid and prevent their skin of any skin cancer and also being well aware of where to get information, therefore the promoters achieved their aims and objectives as figures were significant (Scriven, 2010). Outcome evaluation looks at long term of the health promotion activity, to see whether the objectives had been achieved or not (Tones Tilford, 2001). It is impossible to meet up with the participants who took part in the forum to gain feedback as the promoters did not obtain the contact details. Overall the presentation was excellent. The stand was very attractive. Improvement for the future would be to obtain participants contacts and enable the promoters to reach out of them where and when necessary. Also to spend a little bit more time with the participants as different people learn differently to achieve 100% of promoters’ aims and objectives. The health promoter’s role is to help people improve and gaining increase control over their health. By acting as a facilitator for assessing, evaluating and understanding health which involves working with all age groups, from a wide range of audiences (Green Tonnes, 2010). Educating the public, they will have to keep their knowledge up to date about issues arising or that needs improving, (Bennet, Perry Lawerence,2009). In conclusion the aim and objectives where achieved by raising awareness and prevention of skin cancer which is beneficial regardless of age by using an educational approach. Knowledge was gained during the campaign which was positive and will help the health promoters plan and implement any future activities. Word count: 2200 Reference Lists: Bennet, C., Perry, J.

The Australian Education System Primary Secondary And...

The Australian education system offers primary, secondary and tertiary education. School education is primary and secondary while tertiary education comprises both vocational education and training (VET) and higher education, including universities (Elcom 2013). Australian qualification framework (AQF) is a government-authorized and nationally accredited policy that covers the tertiary education sector. The AQF has 10 levels and links school, vocational and university education qualifications into one national system (Elcom 2013). With respect to funding education, each state or territory government funds and regulates the public and private schools within their governing area while the federal government helps fund the public universities (Elcom 2013; King 2001, p. 190). The universities are predominantly owned by the government and relay on government subsidy as their main source of income to run their everyday business. Universities argue that the reduction in funding tertiary education would bring a crisis in higher education system (King 2001, p. 191). On the other hand, government of all political persuasions seems to accept university funding as a trivial government agenda. Even though, recently elected coalition government has announced a slight-increase in research funding, the package seems too little compared to recent plan on university funding cut (King 2001, p. 191).

The Power Of Art Art - 943 Words

The Power of Art Art is an extraordinary subject, defining what constitutes as art is not as easy task. Since there are many different forms of art and most of it is up to the interpretation of the artist or the audience, art has no one singular defining characteristic. The general public a lot of the times is not even aware they are appreciating an art form. Art surrounds their everyday life. Art has the ability to; move us emotionally; to heal our minds; inform us about the past and present societies and even enhance our learning capabilities. Painting is one of the oldest forms of art. Certainly, when someone thinks of painting, they assume that the artist sits down with a pallet full of colors and applies that to a canvas on an easel. However, this is not always the case. The tool used to paint can vary; from special knives and sponges; to even spray paint. The surfaces range from; canvas, to leaves; to concrete, people happen upon paintings in various places. Painters have the a bility to portray a variety of emotions through their work with the subject. From the blatant display of emotion, such as Vincent Van Gogh’s†Old Man in Sorrow (On The Threshold of Eternity)†; to the gorgeous landscape scenes from Thomas Cole; to the many religious paintings, including Michelangelo’s â€Å" In Mother’s Arms† that is located in Saint Peter’s Basilica, painting has been used to evoke the audience’s emotions for a deeper connection.

Computer Security Breaches and Cyber-Attacks-Samples for Students

Questions: 1.Search the web for news on computer security breaches that occurred during April-August 2017. Research one such reported incident (Excluding the May 2017 ransomware cyber-attack) . Prepare a report focusing on what the problem was, how and why it occurred and what are the possible solutions. 2.Research the May 2017 ransomware cyber-attack on the web and prepare a report focusing on the following questions: What was the problem? Answers: Introduction In this report, we have searched about the various computer security breaches and about the major cyber-attacks done by the hackers all over the world. This report consists of two parts, i.e., part A and part B. In part A we have considered Fireball the Chinese malware for the research and in part b we have discussed about the WannaCry cyber-attack that took place in the mid of May this year. In part A, the complete information is discussed about the cyber-attack faced due to the Chinese malware and we have also discussed various important factors like the type of problems that the company faced at that time, reasons responsible for the attack, several possible efforts made by the security agencies for competing with that situation. Talking about the part B, we have discussed the complete information about the WannaCry cyber-attack that took place in the May 2017. The complete description is provided below about what the actual problem was, who was mainly affected by this cyber-attac k, how this attack was carried out and what efforts does the security agencies took to cope with the problem at that time. 1.In the first part of the report, I have selected Fireball the Chinese malware for my research. In the present year this cyber-attack was reported by the companies all over the world, which had affected approximately two hundred fifty million people. During this cyber-attack it was reported that this malware directly affects or we can say that, targets the browsers present in the system of the user and transforms those browsers into zombies. It was hacked by the hackers by accessing the database of the systems. In this part of the report, the complete information has been discussed below about the various problems being faced by the company, reasons for the cyber-attack as well as about the valuable solutions made by the security engineers of the company at the time of cyber-attack (Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., 2017) Identification of the problem: In this phase of the report, we will discuss about the problems faced by the people existing all over the world as well as about the problems related to the theft of the personal data of the people by the hackers. At the early stage there was no such relevant information about the cause of the cyber-attack and about the number of system affected by this malware (Bisson, 2017). After several verifications and the steps taken by the security agencies the main functionalities of this malware was described.In this, the malware was having the ability to run any type of code on the infected system of the user and the ability of downloading any other malware for accessing any type of information of the user. This was the major reason that the identity of the customers was put at risk because with the help of personal information the hackers can affect the customers by directly influencing their banking accounts, etc. Problem occurrence: Firstly, the security agencies had no such strong evidence about the actual problem. Later on it was clear that, this was a task of Rafotech a Beijing based company working in the phase of digital marketing. This company was using the fireball for hacking the system of the users by transforming the browsers into fake browsers along with thetechniques related to the social engineering, i.e., sending and receiving malicious links were the other reason recognized by the security experts of the company. In this process along with the search engines the default home-pages was also transformed to fake ones. Along with this there exists one other major reason, i.e., this malware infected more than two hundred fifty million computers all over the world excluding approximately twenty per cent of the corporate network (Hassan, 2017). Due to this cyber-attack the corporate agencies faced a huge loss in their business across the different countries of the world. Many governan ce issues had also been faced by the management of the company due to misunderstanding between the shareholders of the company. Actions for resolving the several issues: As it has been discussed earlier that approximately two hundred fifty million customers all over the world was affected by this and to save them as much as possible by reviewing the browsers as well as the default home pages of the browser. On the existence of some fault users was advised to restore the browsers to default settings. Several advises and personal assistance was given to the customers by the experts of the security agencies for removing the malware from the system. By making an efficient use of the latest technologies and software for protecting the system from malwaretwo different steps was required for both window as well as Mac operating system. For the Window users, they need to uninstall the adware by deleting the programs installed in the control panel of the system and for the Mac operating system firstly they need to locate the application and after locating it they need to delete the file permanently (Morris, 2017). Sec urity experts help the people in making an effective and secure method of accessing their accounts from different locations or sites, etc. By using these two methods the users can easily resolve their problem because more than two hundred fifty million systems was infected by this malware including the maximum shares of the countries like India, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia and the United States as well. 2.In this part of the report, we will discuss about the cyber-attack took place in the mid of the May 2017. This attack was done by the wannaCry and it infected more than one hundred countries all over the world. This ransomware made the Microsoft operating system computers its target by encrypting the complete data present in the system. This all was done for demanding the ransom payments in Bitcoin cryptocurrency against the recovery of the affected system or we can say that, for the recovery of the data encrypted. According to a survey done by the security agencies approximately two lacs fifty thousand computers all over the world was affected by this WannaCry ransomware attack. Several technical write-ups had been timely released by a number of companies so that the problem can be tackled upto much extent (Wong Solon, 2017). The main problem of the attack, who was affected by this ransomware, how this attack was carried out and what preventions was made to heal this all these ph ases are discussed below: Identification of the problem: This ransomware targets only the computers running on Microsoft windows operating system. In this, the complete data of the Microsoft operating system was being encrypted and for its solution the ransom payments were being demanded by the hackers in the Bitcoin cryptocurrency. This ransomware had affected more than two Lac fifty thousand computers all over the world working on the Microsoft operating system. The problem was caused due to the theft of cyber weapons cache claimed by the national security agency (Hern Gibbs, 2017). In this ransomware, a malicious software named as WannaCry was being used, which blocks the data of the operating system and demands for an amount for recovering that data. Who were affected and how:WannaCry hits a large number of companies, industries, hospitals, etc., delivering a variety of services all over the world. The companies or we can say the organizations using the systems working on Microsoft operating system was being affected at a high speed. This ransomware encrypts the complete data of the systemand doesnt allow the user to access its data and further to this it demands for the money for unblocking the encrypted data and allowing user to access his/her data. In this complete process the ransomware encrypts the whole data with the help of central server and after completing the process of encryption it shows a message on the screen demanding for the money for decrypting those files or data. All this was done through the PDF files, word files, document files, etc., sent through emails or by any other links. How was the attack carried out: The cyber-attack was done by spreading the malware or we can say the infected files or links through the PDF, word document files, etc. in a hidden manner. This all is done with the help of email being sent from one system to the other. All this is responsible for the cyber- attack done in the mid of May this year. This ransomware disturbed the implementation of the remote desktop protocol in the Microsoft system and it also affected the implementation of server message block which was the main reason that no one was able to access his/ her data. Shadow was the group of the hackers, which shows some evidences indicating the tool used in the malware (Richard, 2017). Steps taken for the prevention:Various steps were taken by the security agencies for decreasing the impact of the ransomware on the computers affecting the people all over the world. Various patches had been released from time to time by the Microsoft for supporting their operating systems. These patches help the users by protecting them from the cyber-attack. The effect of the virus was becoming slower when an internet security researcher finds a kill switch. Among the various countries, Russia was affected the most by this cyber-attack. Conclusion According to this report, we can say that, this attack should be taken as a warning by the world and the security agencies should need to work harder for the safety assistance being provided by them to the people all over the world. This type of ransomware can target the important infrastructures of the countries like railways, airways, nuclear energy, etc. This report shows that; these types of attacks should be taken seriously because they can disturb the complete working of the organizations as well as of the countries across the world. From this we can say that, it is not yet over so each and every person needs to access the network safely. References Bisson, D. (2017).
