Acne has a prevalence of over 90% among adolescents and persists into adulthood in approximately 12%–14% of cases with psychological and social implications. Possible outcomes of the inflammatory acne lesions are acne scars which, although they can be treated in a number of ways, may have a negative psychological impact on social life and relationships. The main types of acne scars are atrophic and hypertrophic scars. The pathogenesis of acne scarring is still not fully understood, but several hypotheses have been proposed. There are numerous treatments: chemical peels, dermabrasion/microdermabrasion...

...GOVERNANCE AND QUALITY ASSURANCE Role of ICT in the governance of higher education Mrs. Shankarisankar, M.A.,MPHIL.,M.ED.,MPHIL., HDCA., DMTT ASSISTANT PROFESSOR SRM SCHOOL OF TEACHER EDUCATION AND RESEARCH SRM UNIVERSITY Abstract The increasing use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has brought changes to teaching and learning at all levels of higher education systems (HES). Across the past twenty years the use of ICT has fundamentally changed the practices and procedures of nearly all forms of endeavour within business and governance. Traditional forms of teaching and learning are increasingly being converted to online and virtual environments. ICT increases the flexibility of delivery of education so that learners can access knowledge anytime and from anywhere. It can influence the way students are taught and how they learn as now the processes are learner driven and not by teachers. This paper is a critical analysis with reference to the changes taking place in teaching and learning process and the role that ICTs have played in this transformation. This paper highlights the various impacts of ICT on higher education and explores potential future developments. The paper argues the role of ICT in transforming teaching and learning and seeks to explore how this will impact on the way programs will be offered and delivered in the universities and colleges of that makes an easy way for good governance of higher education.

...Traditional and new simulation techniques for nanoscale optics and photonics a I. Tsukerman*a, F. Čajkoa, A.P. Sokolovb Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering, The University of Akron, OH 44325-3904, USA b Department of Polymer Science, The University of Akron, OH 44325-3909, USA ABSTRACT Several classes of computational methods are available for computer simulation of electromagnetic wave propagation and scattering at optical frequencies: Discrete Dipole Approximation, the T-matrix − Extended Boundary Condition methods, the Multiple Multipole Method, Finite Difference (FD) and Finite Element (FE) methods in the time and frequency domain, and others. The paper briefly reviews the relative advantages and disadvantages of these simulation tools and contributes to the development of FD methods. One powerful tool – FE analysis − is applied to optimization of plasmon-enhanced AFM tips in apertureless near-field optical microscopy. Another tool is a new FD calculus of “Flexible Local Approximation MEthods” (FLAME). In this calculus, any desirable local approximations (e.g. scalar and vector spherical harmonics, Bessel functions, plane waves, etc.) are seamlessly incorporated into FD schemes. The notorious ‘staircase’ effect for slanted and curved boundaries on a Cartesian grid is in many cases eliminated – not because the boundary is approximated geometrically on a fine grid but because the solution is approximated algebraically by suitable basis functions. Illustrative...

...Comparison of Assessment Tools Julia Ray Capella University Abstract Julia selected substance abuse assessment tools for this report. She will be comparing two of the eight substance abuse assessment tools used in the mental health counseling field, the Substance Abuse Subtle Screening Inventory - Adolescent Version and the Adolescent Drinking Index. The comparison will compare the tools based on key test measurement concepts of reliability and validity. There will be a description of the results interpreted concerning both test based on standard statistical methods and procedures including scales of measurement, measures of central tendency, indices of variability, shapes and types of distributions, and correlations as they apply to each assessment tool. Finally, there will be a discussion on which assessment tool is the stronger assessment instrument using measurement concepts based upon the literature gathered. Comparison of Assessment Tools Substance abuse assessment tests are an important tool in the counseling field since many psychological issues occur as the result of drugs and or alcohol. Drugs and alcohol are often used by the client to self-medicate which in turn compounds their psychological issues. Substance abuse assessments can be subjective or objective, meaning they may or may not result in a standardized score. Drug and alcohol addiction is a touchy subject for most; therefore, it is beneficial to build a rapport with the client prior to testing to ensure...

...Artificial Intelligence: Fact or Fiction Virginia Vidaurri INF 103 Computer Literacy Instructor: Jeanette Cobabe December 3, 2012 Artificial Intelligence: Fact or Fiction What is Artificial Intelligence? The term Artificial Intelligence came into being in 1956, when it was proposed by John McCarthy (Bowles, 2010). This refers to the ability to “create a computer that could perform logical operations so well that it could actually learn and become sentient or conscious.” (Bowles, 2010). Our text defines intelligence as “the capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity.” (Bowles, 2010). The problem with this definition is it’s not so clear cut when it is referring to machines (Bowles, 2010). The ultimate goal with Artificial Intelligence is to create a machine that can actually think, as a person thinks, but I’m not sure this goal is capable of being fully realized. In 1937, Alan Turing, a mathematician, developed what he called a Turing Machine, which was supposed to be an intelligent machine (Bowes, 2010). Then in 1950, using this machine, Turing proposed the Turing Test, which he thought “could prove whether or not a computer was intelligent” (Bowles, 2010). In this experiment, there was a judge who would communicate with a person and a computer, each hidden behind a different curtain. If the judge couldn’t tell the difference between the computer and the “real person”, then the computer would be considered...

...Running head: HOLISTIC HELP Holistic Help for the Terminally Ill Rebecca Clements University of Phoenix Research Writing (Axia) - COM220 Farah Briones, MSC May 11, 2010 The issue of cannabis as a controlled substance has and is debated throughout the years. This paper looks at patients’ testimonies, doctors concerns of medical ethics, their medical oath and the medical decisions between the physicians and patients terminally ill or at end stage of life, science and research developments and the arguments that cannabis in its natural form, needs reclassified and allowed to become an enhancement to medical treatment plans for the terminally ill. Such arguments published by agencies such as the DEA, Federal Government, clinical research and science departments, and finally the patient. The strongest argument, that is, in its natural form, cannabis is a versatile and safe therapeutic active substance with medicinal values. Holistic Help for the Terminally Ill The use of cannabis to treat illnesses is still one of the most controversial issues between the American Medical Society and the nation’s legal system. Cannabis was used for many years to help in treatments for a variety of conditions and ailments and legal in the United States for different purposes of recreational and medicinal use until 1937 when the Marijuana Tax Act established by the Federal Government came into law.
