* About Program:
Youth Hostels Association of India has been organizing various adventure programs for the last 46 years. People from the poles apart cultures and regions participate in our programs and enjoy our economical and budgeted adventure programmes. A large number of volunteers work with dedication, and support us for running these programmes successfully. As a part of the Silver Jubilee Celebration of YHAI National Trekking, in 1995 we introduced the Family camping Program for the interested families. Similarly, once again we are conducting the National Family Adventure Camping program in Srinagar (Jammu and Kashmir).
Note:-These programs are exclusively for YHAI members. Membership is also available at Base Camp/Online/State Branch/Units of YHAI. YHAI programmes are not subsidized by the Government or any donors.
*Flora and Fauna
Kashmir valley comprises about more than 3000 species of trees and plants. The plants of the western-side are well known for their medicinal properties it is a storehouse of medicinal and aromatic plants, which are used in pharmaceutical and perfume industries as raw material. It includes 55 species of important medicinal and aromatic plants.
The fauna of Kashmir is diverse due to its unique location and climatic conditions. About 16% of the countries mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians and butterflies are present in this valley. Kashmir valley is home of about 75-species of mammals, besides several sub-species, belonging to 54 genera, 21 families and 8 orders. Hangul and Snow Leopard that surviving there from times unknown. We can see many more fascinating and exquisite forms of life in many national-parks and sanctuaries that are present in the valley.

6 Peritonitis Nursing Care Plans
Nursing Care PlansEarly treatment of GI inflammation conditions and preoperative and postoperative therapy help prevent peritonitis. Patient care includes monitoring and measures to prevent complications and the spread of infection. Here are six (6) nursing care plans (NCP) and nursing diagnosis for patients with peritonitis:
- Risk for Infection
- Deficient Fluid Volume
- Acute Pain
- Risk for Imbalanced Nutrition: Less Than Body Requirements
- Anxiety/Fear
- Deficient Knowledge
- Other Possible Nursing Care Plans
Risk for Infection
Peritonitis Nursing Care Plans|Risk factors may include
- Inadequate primary defenses (broken skin, traumatized tissue, altered peristalsis)
- Inadequate secondary defenses (immunosuppression)
- Invasive procedures
- Not applicable. A risk diagnosis is not evidenced by signs and symptoms, as the problem has not occurred and nursing interventions are directed at prevention.
- Achieve timely healing; be free of purulent drainage or erythema; be afebrile.
- Verbalize understanding of the individual causative/risk factor(s).
|Nursing Interventions
|Note individual risk factors. Abdominal trauma, acute appendicitis, peritoneal dialysis are common risk factors.
|Influences choice of interventions.
|Assess vital signs frequently, noting unresolved or progressing hypotension, decreased pulse pressure, tachycardia, fever, tachypnea.
|Signs of impending septic shock. Circulating endotoxins eventually produce vasodilation, shift of fluid from circulation, and a low cardiac output state.
|Note changes in mental status: confusion, stupor, altered LOC.
|Hypoxemia, hypotension, and acidosis can cause deteriorating mental status.
|Note skin color, temperature, moisture.
|Warm, flushed, dry skin is early sign of septicemia. Later manifestations include cool, clammy, pale skin and cyanosis as shock becomes refractory.
|Monitor urine output.
|Oliguria develops as a result of decreased renal perfusion, circulating toxins, effects of antibiotics.
|Maintain strict aseptic technique in care of abdominal drains, incisions and/or open wounds, dressings, and invasive sites. Cleanse with appropriate solution.
|Prevents access or limits spread of infecting organisms and cross-contamination.
|Perform and teach proper hand washing technique.
|Reduces risk of cross-contamination and/or spread of infection.
|Observe drainage from wounds and/or drains.
|Provides information about status of infection.
|Maintain sterile technique when catheterizing patient, and provide catheter care and encourage perineal cleansing on a routine basis.
|Prevents access, limits bacterial growth in urinary tract.
|Monitor and/or restrict visitors and staff as appropriate. Provide protective isolation if indicated.
|Reduces risk of exposure to and/or acquisition of secondary infection in immuno compromised patient.
|Obtain specimens and monitor results of serial blood, urine, wound cultures.
|Identifies causative microorganisms and helps in assessing effectiveness of antimicrobial regimen.
|Assist with peritoneal aspiration, if indicated.
|May be done to remove fluid and to identify infecting organisms so appropriate antibiotic therapy can be instituted.
|Administer antimicrobials: gentamicin (Garamycin), amikacin (Amikin), clindamycin (Cleocin), via IV/peritoneal lavage.
|Therapy is directed at anaerobic bacteria and aerobic Gram-negative bacilli. Lavage may be used to remove necrotic debris and treat inflammation that is poorly localized or diffused.
|Prepare for surgical intervention if indicated.
|Surgery may be treatment of choice (curative) in acute, localized peritonitis, e.g., to drain localized abscess; remove peritoneal exudates, ruptured appendix or gallbladder; plicate perforated ulcer; or resect bowel.

Xbox One Approaching 10 Million Shipments; Price Cut Triples Sales in the US
The recent holiday price cut for the Xbox one, combined with the bundles and the launch of multiple key titles, seems to be doing very well for Microsoft, as announced today by Xbox Corporate Vice President of Marketing, Strategy and Business Yusuf Mehdi.
We learn that according to internal Microsoft data the Xbox One has led current generation console sales for the past two weeks in the US, and when the new price became operational on November 2nd, it caused the number of consoles moved to triple from the week before.
As we head into the holiday season, Microsoft mentions that its new console approaches 10 million shipments, which is definitely an achievement, considering the uphill launch.
One thing is for sure: the NPD figures coming around the half of December will be very interesting. Strong competition will trigger more solid efforts from all sides to appease customers, and ultimately the gamers are the ones who will most probably win this war.

I apologize for the delay in getting these account out and on the blog; the wireless connection at the conference has been less than idea. With any luck, I will have my notes refined an out by mid-next week.
The first session was entitled "Games," though it could be more accurately referred to "How Cernegie Mellon University is Exploiting Procrastination to Their Benefit". Essentially, CMU is using games to collect data that otherwise would be highly expensive to generate.
While computers are hailed at being much better than humans in terms of processing power and prowness, there are certain things that humans can do that computers can. For example, computer vision algorithms, though becoming more refined and powerful, cannot do a good job of distinguishing objects in images, especially in comparison to humans. In order to generate better computer vision algorithms, computers need to be trained on test data to refine the procedure. However, in order to get this data, you need to get labels for the pictures.
One possible way is to scour the web, much like Google Images, and associate keywords with images. However, this approach has severe limitiations. The results are usually based from the image name and the HTML text around the image. If you ever do a search for a common term, such as "dog", you'll probably get a page or two of good results, but after that the pictures no longer really look like dogs. In addition, there are many other pictures of actual dogs that will never be discovered by Google since the filename and the context could contain no reference to dogs. Alas, the best way to generate this data reuires humans taking the time to look at images and dissect them into their components. In order to generate enough data, they need to get a lot of people to spend a great deal of time labeling these images. This requires a lot of man hours, and can become prohibitly expensive quite quickly. How do you get a mass of people to work on this project for as little (a.k.a. free) as possible?
The fine folk at CMU realized something: in 2003, there was 9 billion hours of human solitare played. When compared to the 7 million human hours needed to construct the Empire State Building, we waste spend a lot of time on the computer playing games: at work, at school, and a home. What, if just like Mary Poppins, we turn this task into a game and invite people to come "play?" What you get is the ESP game.
The ESP game, an earilier product of CMU, was the first game used to collect this data to train computer vision algorithms. In the game, you are paired with another random player on the Internet; the objective of the game is for you and your partner to come up with the same word. You recieve points for every word that you match, and lose points for every round you pass. Seems impossible, right? We'll, to help the players out the game gives them an image from which they can base their words. From this, CMU can, given an image, have a database of words that describe it. How effective is it? CMU has been able to generate 15 million agreements from 75,000 players. Some players play in excess of 20 hours per week (not up there with WoW, but close.) Since players are paired randomly and anonymously, it's hard for people to collaberate and circumvent the game, forcing them to play it as CMU intended. In addition, since the game is points based with a leaderboard, people are motivated to be accurate with their descriptions of pictures.
While this method is effective in determining what is in the picture, it's not that good in determining where or in what content these labels are in the image, which limits the value of this data. For that reason, the authors of paper used the success and results of the ESP game to create Peekaboom.
Like ESP, this game involves two randomly assigned players who work together to get through as many images as possible. In this game, however, only one of the players (the "peek") gets to see the image; the other player (the "boom") only sees a black screen. The peek is given a word (which was collected from the ESP game) and must use the image to convey that word to the boom. When the boom left-clicks on the screen, a small area around that click is uncovered, revealing part of the picture. In addition, the peek can "ping" an image and convey a certain point/area to the boom (indicated on the boom's screen by a pink pulsating dot.) Finally, the peek can give one of four clues, "noun," "related noun," "verb," and "text".
In the game, not only are you given points for correct guesses, but also for giving hints. While this seems counterintuative, the researchers want to know the context of the label in relationship to the image, so by offering more points for determining this information, they encourage more players to do this.
Over time, the researchers collect enough information to be able to create a bounding box where that label refers to in the image. In addition, they can collect enough bounding boxes to identify many of the relevant features of the image (see paper for examples.)
The authors of this paper argue that, while computer can do very well with dealing with facts, that computers lack common-sense knowledge about the world (though, I feel that there are is a significant portion of the population that also lack this knowledge.) For example, if I enter into Google that "My cat is sick," I should get something about vets; however, I will probably get something else. The solution, as it seems, is to use humans to generate this information, and, once again, CMU has turned to games to provide this solution.
The inspiration for this game came from the game Taboo. In the game, a narrator must convey a word or phrase to a team without using one of five "taboo" words given to the narrator. Usually, the narrator must rely on common-sense knowledge to get the team to guess the word (though, there are definitely other ways of doing this.)
Again, two players are randomly assigned to one another. Each play rotates being the "narrator." The narrator is given a word and must use a selection of sentence models with specific spots blank where he/she must provide the missing keywords. For example, if the word was "turkey," the narrator might use the model "It's a type of ______" and fill in the blank with "bird". Again, points are awarded for each correct match.
Unlike the earlier games, this open model could provide disagreement in terms of whether or not a user-provided phrase accurately describes a word. For example, it might be up for debate whether or not the phrase "This is a type of god" applies to the word "Bhudda," but the researchers stated that 85% of the phrases are rated good. Phrases are validated by having a single player being paired with a bot, and the bot uses user-submitted phrases to see how effective they are (as determined by the success of the human player in guessing the word.)
The last game aimed to provide a detailed descriptive paragraph for each image. The motivation behind this project was to make the web more accessible to visually impaired people by providing more than just an "alt" tag to replace each image. To be brief (since it follows from the other games quite similarly...heck, all three presentations had the exact same first author, though he couldn't come because he forgot to get a visa to travel to Canada,) one player is given an image and must write a paragrah to describe the image so that the other player can select that image from a collection of similar images. I had issues with "how descriptive" they could get with these images (since you are timed pressured and discouraged from doing more than what is necessary to fully distinguish the image,) but I applaud the effort.
I have to mention that their was another presentation that didn't quite fit in this category: DRUID is a 2.5D drawing program, where illustrators can easily draw figures that cannot easily be defined by layers (e.g. figures that intersect and are both in front and behind the other image...think the interlocking Olympic rings.) Though it had nothing to do with games, it was pretty cool in how quick it was able to determine all of the loops and generate the resulting image.
Next time: a "critique" of the design of the XBOX 360...let the ranting begin!

More on Hawthorne dog case
Upon reading the article in Wednesday's Breeze regarding the Hawthorne individual who (allegedly) beat, kicked and hung his pit bull, I didn't think my blood could boil any hotter. However, my blood ran white-hot upon reading the article in Thursday's paper wherein the case was sent back to the police for more "evidence."
How much more evidence does the D.A. need other than a video of the beatings and hanging, along with an eyewitness! Does an animal have to be maimed or half-dead from its injuries before animal cruelty charges can be filed? Is hanging by a choke chain after being kicked and punched not cruel enough? This dog has obviously suffered tremendously at the hands of her "owner" and I would seriously doubt this is the only instance of cruelty she has suffered.
I certainly trust the D.A. gets its act together and presses charges with the full weight of the law. I also trust that poor dog will not be relinquished back to Mr. Plascenia. The dog has suffered enough and deserves to be with someone who will love her and treat her with kindness.
Let's not allow this case to set a precedent that it is OK to treat animals in such a manner. We have come along way from that train of thought. Let's move forward, not back to the dark ages.

Current treasurer backs Cortez
The Daily Breeze editorial supporting Steve Groom for Torrance city treasurer is a concern for me. It seems the support was based on the alleged ability of Groom to earn a higher rate of return on Torrance's portfolio.
Almost 18 years ago the city of Torrance experienced a significant loss of around $6million. Shortly after the loss, I was elected city treasurer. It was my goal in concert with the City Council and manager to put procedures and policies in place to protect city assets. Therefore, our investment policy is more restrictive than the allowable investments outlined in the state of California Government Code Section 53601.
I may be criticized for being too conservative on investment decisions and strategies, but I can honestly say it has protected the asset base of our great city for all these years.
We have not lost any principal during my 17 years as treasurer and the investment portfolio has grown from $63 million to a current balance of $167 million.
Steve Groom has experienced a loss of principal for the Beach Cities Health District of $500,000. It might be argued that it isn't a significant amount, but any loss in a downsizing economy is a hardship on the bottom line.
If the city had lost an equal percent of its portfolio, it would have taken a $2.5 million hit. The additional interest of $1.15 million that Groom has touted that he could have made for the city would have been wiped out by the loss.
Groom and I can agree to disagree as to the philosophical approach to investments. However, I would prefer to elect a treasurer that knows and understands the importance of safeguarding our asset base, understands the importance of managing cash flow to pay the bills, and still maintains a rate of return that has consistently outperformed our benchmark by over 1 percent.
For that reason, I support Dana Cortez; she has the best interest of the city of Torrance in mind and it is in the best interest of the city to elect her.

Commuter trains aren't needed
Several years ago Redondo Beach had a negative connotation. You were patted on the back if you lived in Manhattan Beach, a little tap if you lived in Hermosa Beach, but Redondo Beach? Heavens, not there. Now we get praises and envious looks when we say we live in Redondo Beach. The MTA will change all this. I am a resident of Breakwater Village, a 55-plus community. Our rear windows and sliding glass doors face the railroad tracks. We are not bothered by the few times the trains pass. We even wave to the conductor and the trains are relatively quiet.
However, we are extremely upset by what we heard at the public meeting in Lawndale on May 1. The MTA has announced that we are getting commuter trains alongside these freight train tracks. We will be subject to continuous noise and increased crime, pollution from the many trains going back and forth and absolutely no privacy (that is why we chose to have our backyards facing the snow-capped mountains). We would be unable to have windows and sliding glass doors open at any time. Commuters would constantly be peeking into our homes and more transients would be sleeping by the tracks (we have some now).
Besides the discomfort, the traffic congestion would be gridlock. Can you imagine fire trucks and ambulances trying to get to our homes? We are getting additional department stores in our area and that will cause massive traffic jams.
There is an alternative to this disastrous situation. We can opt for a better transport system, i.e. buses. Our buses are practically empty and almost nonexistent.

Yes, please!
I do have the exact same use case!
Comment actions
When you have a project classified as a Portfolio - then you have all your sub-projects setup under that.
One of the most powerful features of this setup is the ability to look at the roadmaps of all those sub-projects attached to the Portfolio.
However - when filtering on the 'workplan' for only active projects (as shown in the screenshot) - the filtering of the workplan does not effect the roadmaps.
This is unfortunate as sometimes one only wants to see the 'active' workplan's.
The filters applied to the workplan should apply to the roadmap.

The region's people and culture teams have had Talent Acquisition high on their agenda for some time.
Harvest was privileged to have an expert panel share their experience, challenges and learnings at our March 2019 HR Roundtable.
Panelists Jeremy Crawford (Medibank), Mick Fuller (Epworth), Narelle Bell (WorkSafe) and Kim Wallace (Tango Energy) have each had their own journey with regards to talent acquisition and management on behalf of their companies.
Employer Branding
New and established brands are both faced with the challenge of attracting prospective employees.
Attracting talent is often easy when you are 'bright, shiny and new'. According to Narelle, WorkSafe, whose offices officially opened in Geelong in July 2018 and who have attracted many quality candidates during their 'honeymoon' period.
Also a new kid on the block, Tango Energy with a staff turnover of only 2%, must be doing something right.
It's been a journey for them, transitioning from renewable energy company Pacific Hydro to a newly branded retail division -Tango Energy and expanding the business.
The introduction of the Government Energy Comparison Site helped Tango significantly, says Kim. The challenge that lies ahead is to have more of a presence in the local market and beyond as part of their 'Good to Great' journey.
Epworth have spent significant time building their employment brand with major input from a leadership group from within the organisation working closely with HR.
Epworth's workforce profile is over 1/3 casual employees which has been an attraction for prospective employees who want to see what the work environment is like.
Medibank's focus is on building stories and themes targeted at the demographics and needs of their customers. This is especially relevant with the 22 -25 age bracket where adult children are leaving home and are no longer covered by their parent's health insurance.
Along with this messaging and the use of digital channels, this organically appeals to prospective employees. It's perfect customer branding lining up with employee branding.
Panelists shared the benefit of encouraging current employees to advocate and promote the organisation is a great tip. Often incentivised, this can really help find the best talent in the market.
The key to attracting best talent is often centred around employee recognition.
Creating something that is meaningful to the individuals in the workforce. This is a challenge Kim and the team at Tango Energy are addressing within their culturally diverse workforce. The workforce is representative of the community – the customer base they are attracting. Creating something meaningful such as celebrating successes and recognising significant cultural days is high on the agenda.
Talent Acquisition Strategy
A TA strategy needs to be focussed on the future direction of an organisation and what the structure needs to be to support this.
At WorkSafe the Talent Acquisition Strategy, and a separate TA division really only came into play in 2016/2017. Narelle reflected on the significant degree of stakeholder communication and engagement that was required during this time for hiring managers to see the benefit.
Recruiting for the Region
Our panel organisations, many who have a high number of specialist roles are very Geelong focussed and keen to attract people into the region with the Western suburbs of Melbourne being a hot spot for recruitment.
All organisations are proud that Geelong has re-invented itself from a manufacturing town to a technology, administration hub. This is resonating with candidates who can see Geelong is continuing to grow and see re-locating to Geelong is a viable option. Also, a number of the panellists' employees were accustomed to travelling to Melbourne from Geelong and have been able to present a viable career offering for such individuals.
Sometimes it is necessary, especially in the health field, to recruit internationally. Epworth's Mick, explained USA, NZ, UK and Irelend have the closest health care systems to Australia. Recruiting internationally can be a long-term (often up to six months) exercise, interviews are often conducted via skype and the relocation process takes time and money. On the up side, employees are captive and committed once sponsored.
What was important in attracting your own TA team members? What qualities do they need to possess?
Attracting your own TA team, all agreed it requires a personal touch. Human traits such as showing humility, respect and modesty are still very important.
The two organisations with sizeable TA teams mentioned the TA role is that of a consultant/advisor not a linear "processor". They are prepared to build relationships and have the hard conversations in addition to filling job briefs.
People skills ARE important.
While agency recruiters can work there's no room for the high commission style recruiters in in-house roles.
TA is only part of the HR function and it's a good idea to employ someone who may bring other skills as they may look to explore other areas down the track. Someone who is willing to do the hard yards, undertake professional development and have a strong career focus will have opportunities beyond the TA team with such organisations.
The secrets of a successful in-house talent acquisition team. Looking back, what has worked?
One of the challenges of an in-house Talent Acquisition team is to get buy in from key stakeholders within the organisation.
Narelle explained WorkSafe's key to stakeholder success is to:
- Consult with all parties
- Address, what's in it for them?
- Sell the benefits to them
Open communication between all parties is crucial.
Jeremy advises that HR need to be subject experts in their field. However, HR professionals need to realise they are not technical experts yet they need to work closely with the individuals who are.
Medibank run workshops to train managers on expert HR subject matter such as Interview Coaching, Behavioural Testing (what it really means) and best talent acquisition.
Our panelists all agreed, kicking some early goals and wins with key stakeholders turns these people into TA advocates.
HR teams also need to dedicate time for 'internal marketing' and sharing the successes of their TA teams.
And what about internal candidates? WorkSafe has the mandate that internal candidates must inform their manager prior to applying for roles internally. They also have the rule that the hiring manager has contact with the internal candidate whether interviewed or not.
Candidate Experience
Medibank measures candidate experience both through online surveys and calls by the TA team. When Medibank turned off PageUp™ in 2018 it allowed them to analyse, going back to manual, what was working/not working. One key aspect was candidate experience and the organisation now has this as a key deliverable. At Medibank, if an internal candidate has not had a minimum of four contacts from application to interview it becomes a performance discussion with TA.
Systems and Advances in TA
There was much discussion around the table on the greater importance of values/culture fit over technical competence. Many organisations require candidates to address these in applications and these are also covered off in interviews. Asking questions such as "Tell us a time you have lived that value". While Epworth use a bespoke Values Profile for candidates.
Medibank and Wyndham talked of focussing on capability frameworks and moving questioning here. Also addressed was that situational/behavioural interviewing may be done. More organisations are interested in how individuals think and would respond. In interviews, hypothetical challenges are presented to candidates which is where the organisation learns how an individual may respond if presented a "fluid" challenge.
Medibank did an analysis of reference checking and found that only 1 in 3000 placements had been rejected because of a poor reference check. They have moved to an outsourced arrangement that costs $39 per reference. Other organisations are now fully automated an online from reference checking through to offers/acceptances and onboarding.
Worksafe reflected the importance of a system to match and support the process not the other way around.
Best Practice Talent Acquisition
The panel reflected that while there are advances in AI and automation in the recruitment journey, there is still the need for human interaction; often with hiring decisions coming down to the relationship developed either with candidates, TA teams or Hiring Managers.
Our expert Talent Acquisition panel:

1.1 Depression
1.1.1 Depression as a disease entity
Depression is a serious psychiatric disorder. It is characterized by a wide range of symptoms: melancholic feeling, anecdonia, loss of interest, irritability, suicide, sleep disturbances and food intake and so on. It belongs to the broader category of emotional disorders.
This disorder may show extensive variation in both symptoms and presentation. It is likely that two patients who are depressed will not share a common symptom with each other.
The above symptoms and the disease as a whole often result in the development of some degree of disability. This may create the patient's inability to function and respond socially or to work, to become active and ultimately to survive (Wong and Licinio, 2001).
For five decades, the diagnosis of depression and major depressive disorder (NDA) has been established based on diagnostic criteria, internationally accepted. The main and most frequently used are DSM V, 2013? Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Psychiatric Disorders and ICD-10. These control the symptoms that occur to the sufferer and persist for more than two weeks.
Emotional disorders include bipolar disorder or otherwise manic depression, characterized by alternation of mania and depression phases. There are other, milder or shorter forms of depression that can be described as dysthymia, but the distinction between disorders remains an often difficult problem. In general, it is considered that depression is a heterogeneous syndrome consisting of a set of diseases and disorders, perhaps even with different causes and pathophysiology (Nestler et al., 2002a). While the various biological mechanisms involved in depression may seem unrelated to each other, indicating that NDD can actually represent several biologically distinct diseases, the studies so far have shown that all of these pathways are linked and interconnected.
MDS is referred to as the most frequently occurring mental illness. According to the World Health Organization, depression is the fourth cause of reduced functionality and disability in the world, and is projected to be the first in 2020. It is estimated that life expectancy is 20% of the population, that is to say, sometime in this lifetime rate is estimated to get sick.
It is therefore evident that depression is a social issue with a great impact on the social fabric and its coherence, because it causes problems in interpersonal relationships, restricts the work activities of the sufferer, brings increased financial burden to society and increases mortality.
1.1.2 Impact of depression
Depression is a major problem for humanity. Suffice it to imagine that this disease worldwide is responsible for greater loss of function and disability, if it is calculated on the basis of years lost to disability (YLD).
In particular, due to depression each year 76.4 million years are lost worldwide due to disability, with the second and third cause being responsible for 53.9 and 43.6 million years (neck pain / back pain and iron anemia, respectively). These lost years account for 10.3% of the global burden, demonstrating how hot and important a problem this disease is.
It is estimated that around 350 million people worldwide suffer from this disease. Also, if the disability is calculated and the mortality it causes, depression is ranked ninth, behind only extremely fatal diseases and conditions such as neoplasia, cardiovascular diseases and strokes.
1.1.3 The hypotheses of neurotransmitters in depression
A basic hypothesis on the pathophysiology of depression, the case of monoamines, revolves around the position that depression is caused by a change in the levels of one or more of the monoamines, including serotonin (5-HT), norepinephrine (NE) dopamine (DA).
Evidence for serotonergic theory includes the finding that serotonin metabolites are reduced in patients diagnosed with NSC and that antidepressants such as tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) and inhibitors serotonin-noradrenalin reuptake inhibitor have been shown to increase serotonin levels in the brain.
In addition, chronic antidepressant therapy has been shown to downregulate the inhibitory presynaptic 5-HT1A somato-deficient autoreceptors. As these presynaptic autoreceptors inhibit 5-HT release, regulation to lower concentrations increases 5-HT release, which has been associated with an antidepressant response.
Similarly, the removal of tryptophan, a necessary amino acid required for 5-HT synthesis, has been shown to induce symptoms of depression in patients successfully treated for depression with an antidepressant, although tryptophan has no effect on patients with depression were not treated.
These findings suggest that elevated serotonin levels are necessary for antidepressant action, although reducing serotonin alone may not be enough to cause depressive symptoms.
In addition, genetic abnormalities in serotoninergic neurotransmission have been associated with depression. For example, serotonin-linked polymorphic receptor-linked polymorphic region, 5-HTTLPR is a replication in the gene encoding the serotonin transporter. The s / s genotype of this region is associated with a decrease in serotonin receptor expression associated with increased susceptibility to depression.
Correspondingly, variant G (-1019) of the Htr1A promoter which controls the expression of the 5-HT1A receptor is associated with reduced 5-HT1A receptor expression. Both of these polymorphisms have been associated with emotional disturbances and depressive symptoms.
NE is also involved in mood regulation, as evidenced by the fact that drugs that inhibit NE re-uptake, such as TCA, SNRI, noradrenaline-dopamine reuptake inhibitors (NDRIs), and those that increase adrenergic neurotransmission, such as mirtazapine, are effective antidepressants.
Among other things, chronic stress is thought to alter the noradrenergic system, which is linked multiplely to both the neuroendocrine and the immune system. For example, chronic stress leads to an increase in the tyrosine hydroxylase activity, the enzyme involved in the noradrenergic composition in the locus of the subterranean locus.
Stress also increases the production and release of NE causing increased secretion of corticotropin releasing factor (CRF) from the hypothalamus, which in turn activates the release of adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) from the pituitary gland which then stimulates the adrenal cortex in order to release NE and cortisol.
Increased levels of cortisol and NE then increase the sympathetic autonomic nervous system (ACS) activity and the release of cytokines, which have been shown to have an effect on the hypothalamus – pituitary – adrenals (HPA) axis as well as neurotoxic effects .
The intramedullary pathway, consisting of dopaminergic neurons coming from the ventral tegmental area (VTA) and projected into the inclined nucleus, mediates the reward path and other functions, such as the treatment of motives.
There are several indications that involve the pathological dopaminergic neurotransmission in the pathophysiology of depression. These are based on the fact that some symptoms of depression, including anodynia and reduced mobilization, are related to a malfunction of the reward system. It is also suggested that neurological disorders of dopamine production, such as Parkinson's disease, can cause depression. Finally, the fact that antidepressants such as bupropion increase dopamine levels in the brain provides indirect evidence of the role of dopamine in mood regulation.
In a concept of depression, Watt and Panksepp have suggested a disorder of the inter-median system in which a person who has undergone significant psychological pressure / stress or loss develops a disturbance of the reward path, appearing as anxonia and despair. Advocating this theory, studies have shown that chronic stress causes neuropathic alterations in the dopaminergic midterm tract and that these changes are implicated in the change in brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and neuroplasticity.
Serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine interact and interfere with their brain concentrations. For example, dopamine has been shown to have an inhibitory effect on the release of noradrenaline from the subterranean locus, while noradrenaline has a stimulatory and inhibitory effect on the release of dopamine in the abdominal capillary region through the stimulation of ?-1 and ?-2 receptors, respectively. Both noradrenaline and dopamine increase the release of serotonin from the dorsal core of the seam through the ?-1 and D-2 receptors, respectively.
These findings show that the moles do not exert their neurotransmitter function alone, but rather that these neurotransmitter systems are interconnected. A change to one of these neurotransmitters may affect the functioning of the other two.
Another neurotransmitter, glutamate or glutamate, has also been implicated in mood regulation. The fact that ketamine, a NMDA receptor antagonist, acts as a potent and rapid-acting antidepressant has been of great interest in the involvement of the glutamatergic system but has identified it as a potential target for antidepressant treatment.
Clinical studies have shown that ketamine leads to rapid antidepressant action, occurring in hours rather than weeks, as with traditional antidepressants. Its action has been hypothesised to occur through the antagonism of NMDA receptors in GABAergic endonucleases, which reduces inhibition of glutamate release in glutamatergic neurons. This decrease in inhibition leads to glutamate elevation and then selective binding to AMPA receptors. Increased stimulation of AMPA receptors leads to several sequences of second messengers, including inhibition of eEF2k, inhibition of GSK-3 and mTOR activation, all leading to increased neuroplasticity.
Ketamine has also been shown to increase the release of BDNF in hippocampal pyramidal neurons, which also increases neuroplasticity. These findings suggest that glutamate may be involved in mood regulation, presumably through the maintenance of neuroplasticity.
1.1.4 Reducing the HPA axis and responding to stress
Stress and depression are often related. Anxiety and life experiences can cause depressive episodes in vulnerable individuals and childhood anxiety in the form of abuse or neglect increases the risk of depression later in life.
In recent decades, they have been found in patients with depressed HPA disorders associated with a hyperactive response to stress. Some of these changes include CRF hypersecretion from the hypothalamic subcortical nucleus, impaired negative feedback of the HPA axis, adrenal swelling, hypercortisolaemia, and decreased cortisol suppression in response to dexamethasone.
In a subset of patients with depression, a hypersensitive HFA axis results in the release of high cortisol concentrations in response to lower stress levels as well as chronically elevated cortisol levels.
The neurobiological consequences of elevated levels of cortisol in the brain include some mechanisms that can explain the depression-related effects of hypercholesterolaemia. In the next paragraph, we will look closely at the relationship between the HPA, stress and depression axis, linking these systems and diseases to the sex factor (see 1.5.1).
Three brain regions that have been shown to be affected by elevated glucocorticoid levels are prefrontal cortex, PFC, hippocampus and amygdala. If we want to look at the functions of these areas, PFC deals with the executive function and the processing of emotion, the hippocampus deals with memory and learning, and the tonsil is involved in the treatment of emotions, among others.
Chronic stress has been shown to reduce the complexity of dendritic pyramidal neurons and increase GABAergic neuronal transcriptional activity in PFCs, reducing activity in this area.
As PFC is involved in cognitive processing of emotions created by subcortical structures such as amygdala, reduced activity in this area leads to inadequate treatment of negative emotions. In addition, elevated cortisol levels reduce the ability of the hippocampus to adapt to a changing environment.
Animals exposed to chronic stress exhibit reduced plasticity and long-term potentiation (LTP) in hippocampal CA1 neurons, a glucocorticoid receptor mediated effect, leading to reduced adaptation and learning.
In addition to the above cellular changes, high levels of cortisol also alter functional connections in the brain that deal with emotional and adaptation processing. Chronic stress reduces the LTP of the projections from the amygdala to the PFC and increases the stimulation of the tonsil in response to stress, resulting in increased resistance to stress and reduced cognitive treatment.
Chronic stress also shifts hippocampus learning to striatal-based learning, as glucocorticoids cause the tonsil detachment from the hippocampus and increased connectivity to the striatum.
Another concept of depression, the Diathesis-Stress model, provides a neurological basis for a link between chronic psychological stress / depression and depression. This model counteracts depression and many other psychiatric disorders as developmental deviations that evolve over time. Mood is defined as a predisposition, which can be either biological or psychological. Depression therefore according to this view is not caused by an isolated biological or psychological factor. On the contrary, in a vulnerable patient predisposed to a negative response to stress, recurrent stressors can cause the occurrence of the pre-existing vulnerability.
An example of this view could be the genetic polymorphisms in the serotonin transporter gene mentioned above. Individuals with the s / s genotype of this polymorphism have been shown to react more strongly to stressful conditions and have increased rates of depression. This mood or genetic predisposition is not enough to cause depression itself until it is exploited by environmental pressure factors.
It is the combination of stressors and a pre-existing vulnerability and predisposition, nature and upbringing that causes the disorder. The HPA axis can be a biological basis for this process, in which initial early stress leads to a functional hyperactivity of the HPA axis and a predisposition towards a maladaptation reaction to anxiety instead of directly leading to depressive symptoms.
When the concept of stress is expanded by objective external factors and internal psychological pressure, chronic stress-inducing depression is offered in many psychological theories.

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) - National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) RCR Requirements
PI/PD Ensures Required RCR Training of All Participants on NIFA-Funded Projects
⇒ PI/PD Responsibilities ⇒ When to Train
⇒ Subs ⇒ How to Train
►Award Requirements. NIFA states that "[b]y accepting a NIFA award the grantee assures that program directors, faculty, undergraduate students, graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and any staff participating in [research or research-related awards (i.e. research, education and extension)] receive appropriate training and oversight in the responsible and ethical conduct of research..." (Initially effective under NIFA Research Terms and Conditions, February 2013, and currently effective under NIFA General Terms and Conditions, Grants and Cooperative Agreements, December 26, 2014, Provision IV.)
- Applicability. RCR training is required by accepting a research or research-related award (i.e., research, education and extension) funded by NIFA. This includes grants, cooperative agreements and special projects.
- The RCR training requirements in a NIFA award flow down to subawardees and subrecipients.
- Exceptions. RCR training is not required under: 1) Formula Funded Programs, 2) the 1890 Facilities Program, 3) the Small Business Innovation Research Program, or 4) awards to individuals.
- FAQs. See answers about NIFA RCR training compliance.
►Auburn University Plan. Auburn University has adopted and maintains a RCR Training Plan.
►PI/PD Training Oversight Continuing Responsibilities. On a timely basis, from receipt of award throughout the duration of the NIFA project, PIs are responsible for: 1) Identifying all known persons who will participate in the project, and 2) Ensuring their timely RCR training before participation or payment from the project.
- Include PIs, Co-PIs, PDs, Co-PDs and any additional known faculty, students (undergraduates and graduates), postdoctoral researchers and staff participants.
- Include paid and unpaid participants.
►Subs. All persons who will be "participating in" the project at a sub tier must complete RCR training before participation or payment from the project, whether paid or unpaid (e.g., under a subaward or PSA).
- Training Through Own Institution. For participants involved at a sub tier, the first resource for RCR training is their own institution/organization. In this case, which most frequently occurs, the institution/organization must verify compliance with the RCR requirements of the NIFA General Terms and Conditions to the AU Office of Sponsored Programs.
- Training Through Affiliation with AU. Sub participants may affiliate with AU on the CITI website to complete RCR training only if 1- their institution/organization cannot verify compliance with the RCR requirements of the NIFA General Terms and Conditions or they are not participating in the project under an institution/organization and 2- the AU Office of Sponsored Programs approves and provides direction for the affiliation, coordinating with the Office of Research Compliance as necessary.
►When To Train: Before Participation or Payment from the NIFA project
- Before Award or Modification to Scope of Work Processing. Before OSP processes the award or modification to scope of work, all known persons who will participate on the project must complete RCR training.
- After Initial Processing. All persons added to the project must complete RCR Training before participation or payment from the project.
- Before Training Expiration. Training of participants in an ongoing NIFA project must be extended before their RCR Training Certificate expires five (5) years after the completion date. See "Training Expiration and Extension," below.
►How To Train: Online via CITI
- New CITI Users.
- CITI Registration. See how to register as a CITI user.
- Enrollment and Completion of RCR Course. Screenshot steps are in this Guide.
- Registered CITI Users. To complete RCR training, login to CITI, click "Add a Course or Update Learner Group" and add the appropriate RCR course.
- Basic or Refresher Stage? You must complete the RCR Basic course before taking the Refresher course.
- Which RCR Course?
- CITI offers RCR training for various participant learner groups: 1) Biomedical Sciences (includes modules for Human and Animal Subjects Research), 2) Social, Behavioral and Education Sciences (includes a module for Human Subjects Research only), 3) Humanities (same), 4) Engineering and Computing (same), and 5) Physical Sciences (no module for either Human or Animal Subjects Research).
- NIFA's desired RCR training content lines up with the modules in the RCR Biomedical Sciences course. However, your role and activities determine final course choice. Some NIFA participants choose Social, Behavioral and Education Sciences RCR training.
- You must choose a RCR Course other than Research Administration.
- Training Expiration and Extension. A CITI RCR Training Certificate earned by completing the RCR Basic course expires after five (5) years. Completing an appropriate RCR Refresher course extends a Training Certificate for another five (5) years.
- Manual RCR Refresher Enrollment. If you have completed the RCR Basic Course, login to CITI, click "Add a Course or Update Learner Group" at your Main Menu and add an appropriate RCR Refresher course.
- See "Which RCR Course?" above. You must choose a RCR course other than Research Administration.
- Automatic RCR Refresher Enrollment. You may receive an email from CITI informing you that your RCR training is expiring and enrolling you in a RCR Refresher course. Use the login in the email to access CITI, complete the Refresher course and extend your Training Certificate.
- Exception. If you are a participant and you are automatically enrolled in the Research Administration RCR Refresher course, you must choose another RCR course. Login to CITI, click "Add a Course or Update Learner Group" and add an appropriate RCR Refresher course. See "Which RCR Course?" above.
- Manual RCR Refresher Enrollment. If you have completed the RCR Basic Course, login to CITI, click "Add a Course or Update Learner Group" at your Main Menu and add an appropriate RCR Refresher course.
- Transferring Training Credits to Auburn University. If you would like to receive credit at Auburn University for CITI RCR modules previously taken at another institution, follow these CITI requirements to affiliate with AU and transfer credit. Modules transferred may or may not match the required modules in the AU RCR course you select. You may need to complete additional modules to get full credit for the AU course.
