 Fatima Espinoza Vasquez. Ph.D.  Associate Professor University of Kentucky College of Communication and Information School of Information Science will share with us her dedication to leveraging Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) for positive social change, which originated from a panel conversation from the Latina Futures Symposium created by the UCLA Chicano Studies Research Center and the UCLA Latino Policy & Politics Institute earlier this year, to bridge a conversation across our social media usage, AI for businesses and also for political misinformation.  Fatima's roots in Honduras and her role at the American embassy during the tumultuous events of 9-11 gave her a profound insight into the significance of information management. She shares with us her pivotal moments that helped reshaped her perception of technology—from an initial optimism about its universal benefits to a more critical awareness of the power dynamics and societal influences that mold its use and to holds and harnesses the access. In the heart of our conversation, Fatima shed light on digital inequity, making a vital distinction from the oft-cited digital divide. She argued that digital inequity goes beyond mere access to technology—it is deeply intertwined with broader social structures such as race, gender, immigration status, and economic conditions. Illustrating this point, she brought up inspiring cases like rural Argentine communities creating digital infrastructures through cooperatives, challenging the normative corporate grip on technological advancement. Join us in learning how communities learn how they have power to leverage digital knowledge and infrastructure within their own communities.  Connect with Latinas From The Block To The Boardroom at:  Website: www.latinasb2b.com  YouTube @Latinasb2b Instagram: @Latinasb2b  LinkedIn: @latinasb2bmarketing Facebook: @Latinasb2b.marketing  X.com: @LatinasB2B  Join newsletter: www.latinasb2b.com Podcast production by Theresa E.

Last week I had the incredible opportunity to have a conversation with Dr. Robin DiAngelo who is the person who actually coined the phrase, white fragility. In this highlight episode, I drill down into the nuances of growing up in a country, where our racialized identities form a completely unconscious bias mechanism, that seeps unnoticed into our language, thoughts, and action.More about Dr DiAngelo:Dr. DiAngelo is an Affiliate Associate Professor of Education at the University of Washington. In addition, she holds two Honorary Doctorates. She is a two-time winner of the Student's Choice Award for Educator of the Year at the University of Washington's School of Social Work. She is the co-author of the award-winning textbook Is Everyone Really Equal?: Key concepts in Critical Social Justice Education. In 2011 she coined the term White Fragility in an academic article which has influenced the international dialogue on race. Her book, White Fragility: Why It's So Hard For White People To Talk About Racism was released in June of 2018 and debuted on the New York Times Bestseller List, where it remained for over three years and has been translated into 12 languages. It has now been adapted for young adults. Her follow-up book, released in June of 2021, is: Nice Racism: How Progressive White People Perpetuate Racial Harm. Her work or interviews have been featured in the New York Times, The Guardian, CNN, MSNBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, and The BBC, among many other forums.

Tennessee AFL-CIO President Billy Dycus joined America's Work Force Union Podcast and discussed the growth of Tennessee's organized labor movement, which has been fueled by younger workers. He also spoke about the two sectors leading the way in union growth - construction and automotive manufacturing - and how they led to a 38 percent increase in overall union membership in a state considered to be anti-union.   Author Jake Grumbach appeared on the America's Work Force Union Podcast and spoke about his book, which hypothesizes there is a direct correlation between organized labor and the strength of America's democracy. In Laboratories Against Democracy: How National Parties Transformed State Politics, Grumbach aruges fewer union members hurt the nation's democracy and weaken diversity and inclusion. He also aruged that union membership will not see a large increase until more manufacturing work returns to the U.S.

We start season 3 digging deep into human values, while speculating on their evolved expression into the future, with futurist and Associate Professor at University of Houston's Foresight Program, Dr Andy Hines. Having authored a book on the topic of values, ConsumerShift, Andy shares how defining what a value is and how it is expressed by people with differing typologies, helps us perceive them as something less static and therefore shows us their potential evolution into the future. Jo and Andy discuss how values - an integral part of a person's identity (their purpose, needs, world views and beliefs) - are expressed in the real world, as directed by external pressures but also individual choices. Andy speculates how modern values, built on capitalism, competition and an obsession with accumulation, may evolve. Andy has been practicing futurism for over three decades and now teaches the skills of a futurist, but he has also applied it first hand during his time at Kellogg's and Dow Chemical. Through observing and projecting changes in the world, he explains why the science of futurism is fruitful, that more things have come true than not, but that we must align to the motion of change with patience, because contrary to popular thought, change happens slower than we think. -- To look outside, Andy speaks to different groups of people looking for diversity of thought; people who come at the world in a way that Andy doesn't. He says this can be done observationally, through reading a magazine you don't normally read, going on community boards you wouldn't normally engage in, but that it should be done with patience, over an extended period of time. By seeking out unique view points, Andy seeks to build a better understanding of people in sub-cultures outside his own. -- Dr. Andy Hines is Associate Professor and Program Coordinator for the University of Houston's Graduate Program in Foresight and is also speaking, workshopping, and consulting through his firm Hinesight. His 30+ years of professional futurist experience includes a decade working inside first the Kellogg Company and later Dow Chemical, and consulting work with Coates & Jarratt, Inc. and Social Technologies/Innovaro.

Critics of a Basic Income System usually point to its cost and question whether not such a program incentivizes people to work. To my surprise, there are many concerns emerging from those that are concerned about our social welfare institutions themselves.Does Basic Income provide governments the ability to take funds away from other social welfare programs, such as healthcare and education? And, what are the concerns of giving people money and then using those funds in the market? I recently read an article by Associate Professor Matthew Flisfeder (link below), and was intrigued to learn more. I hope you enjoy this conversation.Matthew Flisfeder - https://www.uwinnipeg.ca/rhetoric/faculty/matthew-flisfeder.htmlArticle - "Universal Basic Income is Not the Answer: A Leftist Case for Social Investment", http://uniter.ca/view/universal-basic-income-is-not-the-answer---------------------Welcome to the Strong and Free Podcast YouTube Channel!LISTEN --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/episodes/FOLLOW --- https://twitter.com/StrongnFreePodREAD --- https://thestrongandfreepodcast.medium.com/RATE THIS PODCAST --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/reviews/new/CONTACT ME --- https://www.thestrongandfreepodcast.com/contact/PODCAST SETUPMicrophone - https://amzn.to/3dezxubAmplifier - https://amzn.to/3rv0mQ6Light - https://amzn.to/3tY6u4X---------Tired of watching the nightly news turn into a slugfest? Me too.I'm sure you have had those moments that changed or altered your perspective on a topic. It might have been a comment, an article, a book, or a Podcast (shameless plug)! In today's media coverage, it can be challenging to understand different ideas and interpretations when the nightly news allows for only a few minutes at most of actual discussion. I created the Strong and Free Podcast to explore news topics by gathering multiple perspectives together and allowing people and organizations to discuss their opinions with detail. This allows for a nuanced conversation. It also means putting aside my own bias to explore these to the fullest. It means making all guests feel welcomed to share their opinions safely, without fear that the host will paint them into a corner, or make them sound incoherent. I want this place to be truly safe. I believe everyone, even those I disagree with, deserve to be treated with respect and to be on the Podcast to share their perspective. It also means having a concrete discussion on issues and determining the best way forward.You might be asking why. And the answer is simple: I believe conversations are how we can shape our future. As long as we restore thoughtful approaches to the biggest issues of our time our conversations will have deep, valuable meaning. And, we enrich our own opinion.In order to build our stance we must consider the best evidence against it. My name is Christopher Balkaran. I hope you enjoy this content.

There's no doubt that cryptocurrencies have risen in mainstream popularity over the past year. Still, it's a market that is largely unregulated, which caused the Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Gary Gensler to recently call the market the “Wild West.” Vivian Fang is an expert in cryptocurrency and blockchain, along with corporate finance and financial accounting. She is an associate professor and the Honeywell Professor in Accounting at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. In this interview with reporter Kelly Busche, Fang discusses the basics of digital currencies, the growing role they play in our economy and why Gensler equated the digital market to the Wild West.

This week we review the Fontan and long term issues of surveillance and Fontan failure with 2 articles. The first is a large survey study reviewing practice patterns amongst large Fontan clinics in the US. We review this interesting topic of optimal assessment of the Fontan with Dr. Mike DiMaria who is first author of this recent work and also Associate Professor University of Colorado. We then review a case report on biphasic curaiss ventilation for the treatment of Fontan associated PLE and plastic bronchitis with first author Professor Seigo Okada from Kyushu Hospital in Japan and also with Dr. Pradeep Charla who is the director of the adult congenital heart program at University Hospitals and Rainbow Babies Hospital. Both Dr. Okada and Dr. Charla have extensive experience with this form of 'iron lung' therapy in the setting of a Fontan and share this experience with us all. doi: 10.1007/s00246-018-1966-9 and doi: 10.1536/ihj.17-292.

Dominic D'Agostino, Ph.D., delivers an informative overview of the potential positive impact of ketogenic diets for disease prevention and treatment. He discusses how many cancers such as endometrial cancer and pancreatic cancer are associated with hyperglycemia, which is a hallmark of type II diabetes.D'Agostino is a tenured professor at the University of South Florida. Working with students at the Morsani College of Medicine and the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology, D'Agostino's primary focus is in the areas of neuroscience and neuropharmacology, medical biochemistry, and physiology.  As a research scientist at the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition, D'Agostino aggressively pursues his research in methods to optimize and maximize the health, safety, and resilience of soldiers in combat, as well as astronauts. As a laboratory scientist D'Agostino and his team develop and test various metabolic-based strategies for seizures, epilepsy, cancer, and select neurodegenerative diseases. His primary focus for over a decade has been centered upon the many potential anticonvulsant and neuroprotective mechanisms of a ketogenic diet as well as ketone metabolite supplementation. D'Agostino is an active member of the Undersea and Hyperbaric Medicine Society, Society of Neuroscience, Aerospace Medical Association, American Physiological Society, and the American Association of Cancer Research. He holds a Ph.D. and BS from the esteemed Robert Wood Johnson Medical School and Rutgers University, respectively. D'Agostino discusses his current and primary focus on brain cancer and how the ketogenic diet has historically been used to treat epilepsy, thus brain tumor patients experiencing seizures may see significant benefit from a dietary change to this low-carb, high-fat, protein-adequate diet. He talks about the Warburg effect, the phenomenon in which cancer cells produce extra energy via increased oxygen-dependent glycolysis that is then followed by lactic acid fermentation with a secretion of lactate. D'Agostino provides information on cell metabolism; the ATP molecule, which is the nucleotide specifically known in biochemistry as the ‘molecular currency' of cell to cell energy transfer; as well as mitochondria and the links between diet and some cancers. The nutrition and health Ph.D. outlines other important and relevant studies, such as the work of Valter Longo, the Italian-American biogerontologist and cell biologist who is known primarily for his study of the role fasting and nutrient response genes play in disease and cellular protection. Additionally, he discusses the protective effects of short-term dietary restrictions as well as fasting, and the potential importance of ketones for metabolic health. While weight loss is essentially a good side effect of a ketogenic diet, the metabolic benefits provide even more advantages, in addition to the healthy effect of losing weight. He discusses the beneficial impact of decreasing glucose availability to tumors and implementing dietary restrictions as part of a treatment plan for some cancers. The shift in brain metabolism from glucose to ketones can actually reduce neuronal hyperexcitability and oxidative stress, which can enhance brain energy metabolism. D'Agostino feels this methodology can be used to treat a vast array of pathologies, including cancer.   Additionally, D'Agostino presents an important analysis of the microbiome, which is the community of microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, and viruses that inhabit a specific environment, especially in regard to microorganisms living within or on the human body. He provides his opinion on the variations in microbiomes and how the optimal microbiome can differ based upon food eaten, geographical location, and other factors, and how a ketogenic diet and periodic fasting can help purge the overgrowth of the microbiome, and help return the body to balance. And D'Agostino discusses the glucose-ketone index, and how individuals seeking a healthier dietary balance and increased energy can monitor their index to ensure they are reaching ketosis with regularity for maximum health benefits.

Doch wie kann so ein traumatisches Ereignis wie der Völkermord von 1994, bei dem innerhalb von 100 Tagen mehr als 800.000 Tutsi und moderate Hutu getötet wurden, verarbeitet werden? Wie kann Versöhnungsarbeit zwischen Opfern und Tätern aussehen und welche Bedeutung kommt dabei der Sozialarbeit zu? Welchen Beitrag leisten Wissenschaft, Forschung und internationale Kooperationen?Im März 2018 fand die internationale Konferenz „Professionelle Soziale Arbeit und nachhaltige Entwicklung in Afrika“ mit rund 500 Delegierten in Ruanda statt. Die Hauptstadt Kigali wurde als Austragungsort gewählt, um die Relevanz der Sozialarbeit für nachhaltige Entwicklung, soziale Gerechtigkeit und die Einhaltung der Menschenrechte sichtbar zu machen. Hören sie Eindrücke von der Konferenz und vom „Sozialen Marsch“, der anlässlich des Weltsozialarbeitstages organisiert wurde. Die Sozialarbeit wurde in Ruanda erst nach dem Genozid eingeführt, mit dem Ziel Überlebende und traumatisierte Menschen professionell zu unterstützen. Zur Entwicklung der akademischen Disziplin hat u.a. auch das APPEAR-Projekt PROSOWO unter Beteiligung von ostafrikanischen Universitäten und der FH-Kärnten beigetragen.PROSOWO steht für „Professional Social Work in East Africa“ und wird durch das Austrian Partnership Programme in Higher Education and Research for Development (APPEAR) finanziert.APPEAR ist ein Programm der Österreichischen Entwicklungszusammenarbeit (OEZA).Gestaltung: Maiada Hadaia und Elke StinnigUnter anderem zu hören: Dr. Helmut Spitzer, Professor an der FH Kärnten und PROSOWO-Projektleiter Dr. Régine King, Associate Professor University of Calgary, Kanada Dr. Janestic Twikirize, Senior Lecturer, Makerere Universität und Koordinatorin des East Africa Centre for Research and Innovation in Social Work (CRISOWO)Musik: Cultural Dance Group aus Studierenden vor Ort in Kigali

Dominic D'Agostino, PhD, is an associate professor at the University of South Florida's Morsani College of Medicine, as well as the Department of Molecular Pharmacology and Physiology. D'Agostino's focus of teaching is quite diverse as he educates in the areas of physiology, neuropharmacology, biochemistry (medical), cell metabolism, and signaling. D'Agostino's laboratory tests metabolic-based strategies for battling multiple human health problems such as seizures, epilepsy, neurodegenerative diseases, and more. The associate professor leads a discussion on various metabolic therapies including ketogenic diets, and the benefits of ketone supplements. Remarkably, one's level of ketosis can be assessed and measured in blood and urine samples. Ketosis is a metabolic state; essentially, when an individual removes carbohydrates from their diet they in turn force their body to deplete its stores of glycogen and seek out a new fuel source. As this takes place, ketosis is initiated when the body begins converting fat into ketones as its new, powerful fuel. While the shift may be a major adjustment for the body, and for individuals attempting to make the push toward a ketogenic diet, the results are obvious for most, with many people reporting a general feeling of well-being with more energy also. As D'Agostino explains, those who suffer from age-related cognitive decline, inflammation, or weight problems, all stand to benefit greatly from the shift to a ketogenic diet and the stimulation of ketosis. The physiology and cell metabolism professor explains how exogenous ketone supplementation can enhance the metabolic efficiency of the body, which can increase cognition and workflow activity. While many seek to get fully into a state of ketosis, this may not be the ultimate goal, for the goal is simply to feel better, and approximating the state may offer some benefits. Many are aware that ketosis can help with weight loss and appetite control, but as health seekers come for the weight loss they will more than likely also benefit from an advanced mental focus, more energy, and increased levels of HDL cholesterol. Additionally, ketosis can help to lower blood pressure and aid in the fight against type II diabetes. D'Agostino digs deep into the scientific workings behind variations on ketone supplementation. He discusses MCTs, or medium-chain triglycerides, and ketone salt combinations that can be delivered before low carbohydrate meals that can buffer the rise in glucose. The professor explains how the ketone benefit works within the body for suppression of appetite and increased cognitive function, and further, he relates how individuals can see improvements across the line with exogenous ketones even without adhering to an absolute ketogenic diet. D'Agostino provides some insight into ketone salts and ketone esters and their affect on the osmotic load in the gut. Ultimately, as D'Agostino explains, the scientific study of ketones is proving that many health issues can be improved by controlling the diet.
