text: Abstract Our objective is to host the first in-person conference of the Collaboration with Social Media in Oncology (COSMO) and interested stakeholders to curate an evidence-informed consensus around the role of, and the barriers to, the use of social media in oncology research and practice. COSMO was formed in 2016 by an interdisciplinary group committed to promoting digital engagement and social media participation in oncology. This first meeting will allow us to develop a robust mechanism for cross-collaboration with oncology clinicians and researchers representing diverse settings, including community and academic practices, advocacy organizations, federal agencies (particularly the NIH and the NCI), and professional organizations, and individuals, including women, individuals from nationally underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and persons with disabilities. We are requesting NCI's endorsement and financial support for the organization, implementation and evaluation of the first meeting of COSMO. This will provide a solid foundation for future growth and development. Our proposal is for a conference in 2020 (pending funding) to conduct a two-day in person meeting at the Renaissance Hotel, Providence, RI. The two-day long meeting will comprise didactic lectures, workshops, and breakout sessions to provide critical networking opportunities with social media researchers and experts inside and outside of oncology. Ultimately, we aim to encourage oncology professional engagement in social media through (1) the curation of current knowledge related to social media use in oncology through an in-person forum; (2) collaboration and partnerships among social media researchers inside and outside of oncology; (3) ultimately, to increase the involvement and contribution of oncology professionals in social media for professional use.

The scaphotrapezial ligament complex: an anatomic and biomechanical study.
An anatomic and biomechanical study of the ligamentous stabilizers of the scaphotrapezial trapezoidal joint was performed in 25 fresh cadaver specimens. A consistent scaphotrapezial ligament complex consisting of four entities was identified. This complex is comprised of a stout scaphotrapezial ligament on the radial and palmar aspects of the scaphotrapezial joint, weak palmar and dorsal capsules, and a scaphocapitate capsular ligament. A biomechanical study subsequently found that these structures were directly related to resisting diastasis of the scaphotrapezial trapezoidal joint. This information is helpful in understanding scaphoid tuberosity fractures, scaphotrapezial instability and arthrosis, scaphoid dislocations, and perhaps scapholunate disassociations.

There’s probably no good way to share the story of the Holocaust with a child. Who wants to taint an innocent with tales of the very worst of mankind, who wants to potentially terrify a soul whose most frightening image so far has probably been something like the Joker from “Batman”? How do you explain, to use the title of HBO’s new documentary, “The Number on Great-Grandpa’s Arm”?

This 20-minute film, premiering at 6 p.m. on Saturday, which is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, zeroes in on how one man, a Holocaust survivor, tells his 10-year-old great-grandson about the 20th-century nightmare. Gently, but never withholding truths, Jack Feldman, 90, talks to young Elliott about how he came by the blue tattoo, which he received at the Auschwitz concentration camp when he was 14. It’s a lovely, sweetly made little film, directed by Amy Schatz, that shows the bond between old man and young boy tightening the more they talk about it.

Just the respect and love in Elliott’s eyes as he looks up at Jack, and the warmth of their body language throughout the film, are worth the price of admission.

Jack describes, in relatively plain language, how he was born in Poland, how his father made hats, and how, as Hitler gained power, Jews were rounded up, put in ghettos, and forced to sleep with 15 to 20 people in a single room. He describes being taken away, never to see his family again or to even find out what happened to them.

Throughout, as Jack talks, his story is illustrated primarily with animation created by artist Jeff Scher for the film. Scher’s moving images, all painted in watercolor, have a childlike aura to them — the effect isn’t cartoonish in the least, but the ugliness and brutality are softened slightly for a child’s unblinking eye. It’s a smart approach, delivering reality through a mild filter of sorts.

We learn that, after the war, Jack got married and wound up in New York state, where he started a family and opened a fish store. And we hear, from one of his workers, that he is a good person, and that the experience didn’t destroy his compassion. “This is his number right here,” the guy says about Jack’s arm. “And he knows exactly what it means to be hungry. So if there’s anybody hungry, he’s gonna feed ’em, if you got money or not.”

As the narrator, Elliott is poised and affectionate. He is a wonderful stand-in for young viewers who might be ready to hear about the Holocaust. He listens carefully, aware that he is part of an increasingly essential exchange of information, particularly as survivors die out. “You need to know it to understand,” Elliott says, “to stop it from happening in future generations.”

- Provide resources and support for children who may be struggling with the material

Section 3: One Family's Approach to Sharing the Story of the Holocaust

Topic 1: How does the family in the documentary approach the topic of the Holocaust with the child?
- They approach the topic gently and with respect for the child's emotional well-being
- They use age-appropriate language and materials to explain the significance of the tattoo on the great-grandfather's arm
- They emphasize the importance of honoring the memory of those who were lost in the Holocaust
- They encourage the child to ask questions and engage in critical thinking about the complexities of the Holocaust

Conclusion:
Telling the story of the Holocaust is essential to ensure that future generations understand the dangers of hatred, bigotry, and genocide. While sharing this history with children can be challenging, it is crucial to approach the topic with sensitivity, respect, and age-appropriate materials. By doing so, we can help children develop a deeper understanding of the Holocaust and its lasting impact on humanity.

[Molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension].
Because myocardial hypertrophy is an independent risk factor for sudden death and cardiac failure, it is important to understand its molecular mechanisms to be able to devise new treatment strategies in the future. Stretch is the putative primary stimulus triggering hypertrophy. Further signal transduction steps such as auto- and paracrine secretion of growth factors or transmission via the cytoskeleton are beginning to be unravelled. Subsequent to hypertrophic stimuli some important proteins undergo an isoform switch; questitatively, however, the most important step is an increase in translational capacity for each mRNA. Myocardial specific gene expression is achieved by coordinate interaction of several transcription factors, some of which may be involved in nuclear transmission of hypertrophic signals. One of the genes capable of transmitting hypertrophic signals is the "early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1)". We have also shown that nuclear estrogen receptors act as transcription factors in the myocardium and may therefore be involved in the sex-specific modulation of cardiac hypertrophy. At present, pharmacological interventions aiming at reduction of hypertrophy by interfering with the signal transduction pathway from the membrane to the nucleus are actively being sought. These transduction pathways are composed of a series of proteinkinases which may be amenable to drugs. In the future, gene transfer may become an option for treatment.

Lesson Title: Molecular Adaptation of the Heart to Hypertension

Introduction:
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout the body. It is responsible for supplying oxygen and nutrients to tissues and organs while removing waste products. Hypertension, or high blood pressure, can damage the heart and lead to heart failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems. In this lesson, we will learn about the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension and how this knowledge can help us develop new treatments for heart disease.

Section 1: Stretch-induced Hypertrophy

The first step in the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension is stretch-induced hypertrophy. This means that when the heart is subjected to increased pressure, it responds by growing bigger. This growth is primarily due to an increase in the size of the cardiac muscle cells, or myocytes. The stretch sensors in these cells detect changes in pressure and send signals to the nucleus of the cell, where the DNA is located. These signals activate genes that promote growth and development.

Questions:
- What is stretch-induced hypertrophy?
- How does it occur in the heart?
- What are the consequences of stretch-induced hypertrophy on the heart?

Section 2: Signal Transduction

Once the stretch sensors detect an increase in pressure, they send signals to the myocytes that trigger a series of events known as signal transduction. This process involves the release of growth factors and the activation of proteins that promote cell growth. These proteins then interact with other proteins in the cell, leading to further changes that ultimately result in the growth of the myocytes.

Questions:
- What is signal transduction?
- How does it contribute to the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension?
- What are the key players in signal transduction?

Section 3: Gene Expression and Protein Synthesis

As a result of signal transduction, certain genes are activated, leading to the production of proteins that promote cell growth. These proteins are then synthesized by the ribosomes in the cell. The most important step in this process is an increase in the translational capacity of each mRNA, which means that more protein is produced from the same gene.

Questions:
- What is gene expression?
- How does it contribute to the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension?
- What is protein synthesis?
- How does it relate to gene expression?

Section 4: Transcription Factors and Isoform Switches

Several transcription factors are involved in the regulation of gene expression during cardiac hypertrophy. These proteins bind to specific DNA sequences and control the activity of certain genes. One example is the early growth response gene-1 (Egr-1), which is involved in the regulation of many genes related to cell growth and differentiation. Another example is the estrogen receptor, which plays a role in the modulation of cardiac hypertrophy in both males and females.

Questions:
- What are transcription factors?
- How do they contribute to the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension?
- What is an isoform switch?
- Why is it important in the context of cardiac hypertrophy?

Conclusion:
In summary, the molecular adaptation of the heart to hypertension involves a complex series of events that ultimately lead to increased myocyte size and function. Understanding these processes can help us develop new treatments for heart disease and improve patient outcomes.

Glossary:
- Stretch sensors: proteins that detect changes in pressure within the heart
- Signal transduction: a series of events that occur in response to a signal, such as the release of growth factors
- Transcription factors: proteins that bind to specific DNA sequences and control gene expression
- Isoform switch: a change in the type of protein produced by a gene
- Estrogen receptor: a protein that binds to estrogen and regulates gene expression

Different responses to some stimulators of prolyl hydroxylase activities in various rat organs.
Prolyl hydroxylase (proline,2-oxoglutarate dioxygenase, EC 1.14.11.2) of soluble fraction (105 000 X g supernatant) of rat granulation tissues was markedly enhanced by addition of nucleoside triphosphates to the assay medium. But the stimulatory activities of nucleoside triphosphates were very different in fractions derived from tissues of rat. In skin, lung or whole fetal tissues other than granuloma, GTP enhanced the enzymatic activity by 3-4 fold. On the other hand, in kidney, liver and spleen tissues it brought about no enhancement. The same results were obtained even if ATP regenerating system was added in the assay medium. The stimulatory effect of nucleoside triphosphates was not seen with the soluble fraction of liver, but it appeared with the enzyme fraction purified by affinity column chromatography. The same phenomenon was observed by addition of bovine serum albumin instead of nucleoside triphosphates as stimulator. We discuss the possible reasons as to why the responses of the enzyme to stimulators were quite different among various tissues.

Lesson: How to Read and Analyze News Articles

Introduction:
News articles are an essential source of information that helps us stay informed about current events and issues. However, not all news articles are created equal, and some can be misleading or contain false information. In this lesson, we will learn how to read and analyze news articles to determine their credibility and accuracy.

Section 1: Understanding the Structure of a News Article

A typical news article has several components, including:

1. Headline: This is the title of the article, which should summarize the main idea of the story.
2. Byline: This is the name of the author or journalist who wrote the article.
3. Lead: This is the first paragraph of the article, which should introduce the topic and provide some background information.
4. Body: This is the main part of the article, where the journalist provides more details and context about the story.
5. Conclusion: This is the last paragraph of the article, which should summarize the main points and provide some closure.

Section 2: Analyzing the Credibility of a News Source

Before reading an article, it's essential to assess the credibility of the news source. Some factors to consider include:

1. Reputation: Does the news source have a good reputation for providing accurate and unbiased information?
2. Sources: Are the sources used in the article reliable and credible?
3. Bias: Does the article appear to be biased towards one side or another?
4. Fact-checking: Does the article cite facts and evidence that can be verified?

Section 3: Analyzing the Content of a News Article

Once you've determined that the news source is credible, you can begin analyzing the content of the article. Here are some questions to ask:

1. Who is the target audience? Is the article written for a general audience or a specific demographic?
2. What is the tone of the article? Is it sensationalistic or objective?
3. What is the main message or point of the article? Is it clear and concise?
4. Are the facts and evidence presented accurate and verifiable?
5. Are there any gaps or inconsistencies in the story?

Section 4: Applying Critical Thinking Skills

Critical thinking is an essential skill when analyzing news articles. Here are some questions to ask as you read:

1. What assumptions does the author make? Are they valid or based on incomplete information?
2. Are there any logical fallacies in the argument?
3. What is the context of the story? Are there any relevant historical or cultural factors that should be considered?
4. Are there any competing views or perspectives that are not being represented?
5. How might this story impact society or culture in the future?

Conclusion:
By following these steps and applying critical thinking skills, you can become a more informed and discerning consumer of news. Remember, not all news articles are created equal, so it's essential to evaluate the credibility and accuracy of the information presented. With practice, you'll be able to read and analyze news articles with confidence and clarity.

Glossary:
- Credibility: The quality of being trustworthy or reliable.
- Bias: A prejudice in favor of or against something or someone.

Lesson: How Student Fees are Set for Different University Courses

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn about how student fees are set for different university courses. We will start by understanding the current funding system for universities in Australia and then move on to explore the factors that determine the fees for different courses. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to understand the importance of a well-designed funding system for universities and its impact on students.

## Section 2: Understanding the Current Funding System for Universities
The Australian government provides funding to universities through a variety of sources, including the Commonwealth Grant Scheme (CGS), the Higher Education Participation Program (HEPP), and the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). These funds are used to support students who are enrolled in undergraduate and postgraduate courses.

The CGS provides funding for undergraduate courses based on the number of places available at each university. The HEPP provides additional funding to universities that enroll students from low socio-economic backgrounds or those who are indigenous Australians. The HELP program provides loans to students to help cover their tuition fees and living expenses.

## Section 3: Factors that Determine Student Fees
The fees charged by universities for different courses vary depending on several factors, including:

1. Course type: Some courses, such as medicine or engineering, are more expensive to run than others, such as arts or humanities. Therefore, the fees for these courses are higher.

2. Demand for the course: If there is a high demand for a particular course, universities can charge higher fees because students are willing to pay more to study it.

3. Cost of resources: Some courses require more resources, such as laboratory equipment or specialized software, which increases the cost of running the course. This is reflected in the fees charged.

4. Reputation of the university: Universities with a higher reputation often charge higher fees because students are willing to pay more to attend them.

## Section 4: The Importance of a Well-Designed Funding System
A well-designed funding system for universities is essential to ensure that students have access to high-quality education that is affordable and accessible. A poorly designed system can lead to universities charging higher fees to make up for the lack of funding from the government, making education less accessible to students from lower socio-economic backgrounds.

## Section 5: Conclusion
In conclusion, understanding how student fees are set for different university courses is crucial to ensuring that students have access to quality education that is affordable and accessible. By learning about the current funding system for universities and the factors that determine the fees for different courses, you can appreciate the importance of a well-designed funding system. By applying the skills and knowledge gained from this lesson, you can critically analyze and evaluate the impact of the current funding system on students and universities.

Lesson: Introduction to Political Science

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
In this lesson, we will learn about the field of political science. Political science is the study of politics and government. It looks at how people make decisions about who should lead them and what laws should be passed. We will explore different theories and concepts in political science, including power, authority, and legitimacy.

## Section 2: Practical Examples
Let's consider a real-world scenario. Imagine you are running for office in your community. You want to become the leader of the local city council. You need to campaign and convince people to vote for you. How would you go about doing this? What strategies would you use to reach out to potential voters? Would you hold rallies or town halls? Would you use social media or traditional advertising? These are all questions that political scientists would study and analyze.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions
Now let's engage in a self-debating discussion. Suppose you are a political scientist studying the effectiveness of different campaign strategies. You have two hypotheses:

1. People are more likely to vote for candidates who hold town halls and meet with constituents face-to-face.
2. People are more likely to vote for candidates who have a strong social media presence and use targeted advertising.

Which hypothesis do you think is more accurate? Why? Use evidence from political science research to support your argument.

## Glossary
- Political Science: The study of politics and government.
- Power: The ability to control or influence others.
- Authority: The right to give orders or make decisions.
- Legitimacy: The acceptance or approval of a government or its actions by its citizens.

## Conclusion
In this lesson, we have learned about the field of political science and explored some of its key concepts. We have also looked at practical examples and engaged in a self-debating discussion. By understanding these concepts, we can better analyze and engage with the political world around us.

Lesson: Introduction to Scissor Lifts

## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

Scissor lifts are aerial platforms that are used to provide temporary, elevated work stations. They are commonly used in construction, manufacturing, and maintenance industries to perform tasks that would otherwise require ladders or scaffolding. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of scissor lifts, their capabilities, and their limitations.

## Section 2: Practical Examples

Let's consider a scenario where a worker needs to paint the ceiling of a room that has a tall ceiling. Instead of using a ladder, which could be dangerous, the worker can use a scissor lift to reach the ceiling safely. The scissor lift provides a stable and secure work platform that allows the worker to complete the task without risking injury.

Another example is in the manufacturing industry, where workers need to perform tasks at heights. Instead of using a ladder, which could cause accidents and injuries, a scissor lift can be used to provide a safe and efficient work platform. This allows workers to perform their tasks without the risk of falls or other accidents.

## Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

One of the benefits of using a scissor lift is that it can be easily moved around the work site. However, this also means that there is a risk of the lift being misused or abused. How can workers ensure that they are using the scissor lift safely and efficiently? What are some of the potential hazards associated with using a scissor lift improperly?

## Glossary

- Scissor Lift: A type of aerial platform that uses a scissor mechanism to raise and lower a work platform.
- Platform: The flat surface on top of the scissor lift that provides a work area for the user.
- Capacity: The maximum weight that the scissor lift can support.
- Aerial Platform: A device that provides temporary, elevated work stations for workers.

## Conclusion

Scissor lifts are an essential tool for many industries, providing a safe and efficient way to perform tasks at heights. By understanding the theoretical concepts, practical examples, and potential hazards associated with scissor lifts, workers can use them safely and effectively. With proper training and care, scissor lifts can help reduce accidents and injuries on the job site, leading to a safer and more productive work environment.
