So, this is my introduction, we are not yet on the air, okay, so it's still not yet there. Any questions so far towards that, you know, making the video and being part of this process? Any questions? No questions? Okay. I hope you will start to have that good communication. I hope I didn't scare you, I hope I didn't scare myself, but we will get more comfortable through the process, okay. So, yeah, I have to use to the air while I'm joking now, I'm still not yet on the air, I'm joking too because here is the camera, here is this, and I also, I have to admit I was not in the classroom and, you know, having and taking the video, so maybe I will act a little bit weird today, so I apologize for that, but I will start to be comfortable also through the time. Okay, so let's begin our class, Public Health One. I would like to welcome all of you here to the Public Health Class, which is the introduction to Public Health, so the principles of Public Health. Before we will completely start, I have few questions. I would like to know how many of you are here in Public Health Major? Oh, it's amazing, okay, some of you are even showing two hands, so it means what? You are Public Health Science, Public Health Policy, or just being excited to be in Public Health. That's amazing, okay. How many of you are from the Biology Science, Biology Major? Some of you, okay, this is great, so that will be also good that you will act a little bit of the flavor of Public Health to your biology background. How many of you are here from Social Sciences, Social Science? Okay, some of you will be proud of that too, so you are scared like everybody in Public Health and just one from Social Sciences. Okay, how many of you are of Social Ecology? Okay, how many of you are Mechanical Engineering or Engineering? Oh, okay, thank you so much. I know it's, you are surprised like, well, how come, but we need to have engineers in Public Health, and you will learn that later when we will be talking about environmental health. How many of you are here from Business? Nobody in Business, we also need to have business people connected with Public Health, because this is something that we also need to have. How many of you are from Journalism? Nobody? Okay, we also need, or some hands are showing a little bit, but it's also very important because we need, as a US, a future journalist who will write about Public Health. How many of you are here from Psychology and Behavioral Science? Nobody here? From Mathematics, Computer Science? Okay, Dancing, Art? Well, you are laughing, but it's also very important because, you know, it's, you also, from the Public Health perspectives, maybe some of you will be in my Alternative and Complementary Medicine class. We talk about therapies through music, therapies through dancing for improving the health of the public. We also need to have dancers with touch a little bit of Public Health, and maybe to do that as a profession for the therapy. Is here any major that I didn't mention, and you are in that major? Yeah? Nursing? Oh, nursing. Oh, how could I forget? Nursing so close to Public Health will come here, so that's something that also we are working very, very close, Nursing Science and Public Health. And by the way, also, students from Nursing and Public Health program, they are part of the free clinic. So they are doing the education and helping the public with improving the quality of their lives and of their health. Any additional major that I again didn't mention that? Okay, so we covered all of that major, so I have a little bit of profile to see that from what type of majors you are here. Okay, so now let's start with the class website. So I hope everybody, did any of you already went through the EEE to check a little bit? Things? Yeah? Okay. Usually every, because our class is always on Tuesdays and Thursdays, so before every Tuesday, I will send also your email letting you know, yes, please check your class website, all the PowerPoints and everything, all the chapters are prepared and they are there for the next following week. So please always check the messages from me. I also, on the class website, open the message board. One portion of the message board, it's called Public Health Forum. So if you have any questions, I notice that it was quite practical when I was teaching the online classes to have the forum, to have the communication between instructors and teaching assistant with the students or actually the students between themselves, because in case you have some questions, you can post it there. And maybe some of you already know the answer. So you can, you know, put your answer there or we always, we will check, I will check that and the teaching assistant also, like once a day. So in case there are additional questions, so we can respond to you. Of course, you are welcome to use email, but please use also this section forum on the message board, because, you know, that questions, they are there and answers are there and maybe you are in the middle of the night and preparing for your paper and you know that, yes, even if I will send email to the instructor, I will not get, you know, a response, but I will check the forum. Maybe somebody already asked about that and the answer is there. OK, so use that for those purposes. I'm actually starting to use that the first time. So it looks like your class is a little bit like experimental in all of that way, but it's enhancing. It's it will be much better. So that's very important. As you know, we have this class here in this classroom. I would like a little bit to introduce myself also. And as you can see, my name is Susanna Big and I will ask you questions. Question. What do you think from which country I'm coming? And well, only people that they don't know me. I know that one person knows me here because when we travel to Costa. No, Chile, Chile, from Chile, summer travel program. So you are not part of that process. But so can you guess from which country I'm coming? Or my accent can be connected from, you know, which country? Yeah, very close, but not completely. Yeah, Slavic background, but not completely. Yeah, I love Switzerland. That's somebody sensing that I am from Switzerland. That sounds good. But no, yeah. And close a little bit, but not completely. I'm asking, I'm telling close because it's like the geographical area, not like with the background of that culture, of the language, but closer to that geographical area. Yeah, Australia. It was one time, historically, like Hungary. Hungary, an Austrian imperial, but it's 100 years now, it's not. But it was part of that country from which I'm coming was part of that, but very close, but not, yeah. The Slavic background, yes, but not the country. So OK, I will start now. Like this is location historically. There is location. There is the Slavic background. Yeah, still Slavic background. Well, no, it's actually it's another. It's Ukraine. No, so it went in, I think it's Ukraine. It's like Slavic between and it's European, so it's different. Yeah, Czech Republic. Yeah, how did you know? Public friends. What is that? I have a friend from the Czech Republic. So you recognize the accent. Yeah, no, just guess for him. Just guess. OK, OK, yeah. So let's give her applause. Yeah, I am originally from Czech Republic. So thank you so much for all that guessing. So I was like, wow, I'm from that country. I can be from that country. So it's like, you know, entertaining. But yes, I am from the Czech Republic. So unfortunately, you have to suffer to listen to my accent for 10 weeks. OK, so I apologize for that. I know it could be a little bit hard in the beginning, but after again, 10 weeks, you will understand everything when I'm talking about all my accent and everything. So it will be no problem for you. Now, two titles. What I have here is one title, DRPH, is the Doctor of Public Health. So I received this degree from Loma Linda University. And it was my expertise. It's in lifestyle medicine. So you will probably notice that I will add a little bit additional thing about the lifestyle medicine to your chapters and additional things like supplements that they are not always in your textbook. Completely my narrow part of the expertise in lifestyle medicine, that was the headaches and migraines. How many of you are suffering or you know somebody that has problems with migraines and headaches? OK, oh, many of you. OK, so that will be almost guaranteed after you will finish that 10 weeks in the course in public house. That will be possible. I'm not telling eliminating or curing. I'm just telling there will be possible maybe 70% to decrease the risk of the occurrence of the headache or migraine. And as you notice, I was also politically correct how I am using my words. So in public house, we are not using the words curing because it's not associated with public house. We are always using the words to decrease the risk of occurrence or decrease the risk of symptoms. So this is something that you already learned from this when I talk about the headaches. So that will be also one part about the headaches when we will have the section about nutrition. So I will be sharing with you the theoretical model like how you can decrease the risk of occurrence of the headaches. So it's almost guaranteed that because my study was showing that 70% was possible to decrease headache, occurrence, frequency, intensity. So some of this you will learn through this class. And of course, headaches, it's very annoying. And it's public house problem. So that here you will be and learning something about prevention of headaches. So that was my part connected with Loma Linda University. And now again, I will ask you the question, what do you think is the MUDR? Don't tell me.  And I don't know. So any guessing? It's on the international level. The degree I didn't get in US, it was outside US. It was in Europe, actually in Czech Republic. OK. So no guessing? OK. So the MUD, well, I'm not taking that person. It's only one that she was traveling with me in summer travel program in Chile last year. So the MUDR, it's the abbreviation, is the Medicina University doctor. So I finished medical school in Czech Republic. So it's like MB here in the United States. Why I'm talking about that also and emphasizing that? Because when I was studying at medical school, I somehow always were curious, I was very, very curious like how we can prevent the disease. So it's long time ago when I actually graduate from medical school that was back 1980. Many of you were not yet in this world, 1980. I graduated from medical school. And I always had a desire to find out how we can prevent the disease. What we can do with primary, secondary, tertiary prevention. I didn't know in that time that meanings all of them. But I was thinking like, what can I do if the patient is coming at this moment and we are giving and prescribing the medication. And after a couple of months, the patient is coming again with same symptoms or little bit different symptoms. It's still not completely decrease the symptomatology of that disease. And is it possible that lifestyle, the behavioral, the nutrition, the physical activity if the person is doing or not, or the stress, or sleeping enough of hours. Is it possible that it can influence the outcome of the disease? And back 1980, and especially in Europe, in Czech Republic in that time because it was the communist system, nobody was talking about that. It didn't exist. If we use the public health, it was much more connected with hygiene, preventative, some infectious diseases, or ergonomics. But nobody was thinking like, wow, how we can really prevent disease on individual level and improving the quality of life for the public. So I was very curious about that. When I finished medical school, I was in the neuroscience or neurology, therefore it was the connection later with the headaches and migraines. And so I usually call that as a destiny to coming to United States because when I come to United States, I have two pathways in front of me or two choices. One choice was like to go and continue in the medical degree and just going through the specific residency program and doing the prescription of medication or to do something using the background and do something for the preventative measures. And again, because it was my interest when I was in medical school, I decided to go for that direction. So therefore I end up at Loma Linda University. I think also what was the motivation, another motivation when I was at medical school to go for the preventative measures, because it was quite surprising. All medical students there during that time, they were smoking. Many of them were smoking and drinking coffee. And if we went with our professors to the hospital and we were checking the patients, so after one hour there was the break and they called it like, not completely a coffee break, but it was the break that everybody sit together and they were smoking. I didn't smoke, so I was suffering. I was thinking, well, if I don't smoke, I still have to work. I cannot rest based on that approaches from the community. So I was actually motivated in the way also because I was thinking, well, I have the right to rest also and not be excluded because I am not drinking coffee too much. I'm not smoking. So it means that I don't have the right to have the break and to sit and just to talk. So that, imagine that was quite interesting that coming to the physician office and the physician was smoking. So back in 1980, that was quite common sense. Now it's almost like quite paradoxical. How come what the people didn't know that could be problem is the smoking? Yes, they knew, but somehow the medical community or especially like they were thinking, well, we can take care of ourselves. Well, they didn't know, actually, it was some kind of misleading in that way. So this is a little bit my background. So now you know. I would like also, we have, excellent, excellent. I talk already with your teaching assistant and I know she will be great. And so I would like to introduce to you Jamie, is that right? So let's do a nice applause for her. Let's take about half. Hello everyone. My name is Jamie Allgood, not God, not all God. There's another O in there. Okay, okay, I see. It's okay, I just, I did my undergraduate work at UCLA and I also did a master's there in women's studies and my concentration was maternal and child health and I did most of my focused work in the graduate school of public health there. And while I was there, I started two studies, went on HIV and went on gestational diabetes and I stayed on after graduation and worked at the Center for AIDS Research and Education and also in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology for about four or five years. And then I took a break and I was an over-the-road truck driver for five more years, at which point I decided I wanted to come back to school and I'm doing a PhD in public health and my focus now is environmental health and my research is on green chemistry and if any of you would like to talk to me about any of that, I please do so and I look forward to working with you all this quarter. Okay, thank you very much. Okay, so now you know a little bit that about me and about the teaching assistant. I also would like to let you know, please check, there will be a lot of links also connected with this class and we will, some of the links, we will open that and go through them in the class. Some of them I will recommend you to open and just to do on your own. Now we are coming to the syllabus. Usually the first day of the class I concentrate on the syllabus and maybe we will go through the first chapter but I recognize that it's quite important to go through the syllabus. I know that some of you already checked the syllabus. So this is actually the picture of the textbook that you need to have that. So this is the basic that you will be using and in this class. You have also additional one that you will be much more responsible on your own. Why is that? Because this is the description of the jobs in public health. There will be not many questions on the midterm or final exam. Usually there will be like two or three questions but I got the feedback from alumni from this, not just public health one class but also from public health on its own, the virtual degree that when they were looking for the job so they suddenly realized, wow, I remember I was using this textbook during the public health one completely the first time when I started to study public health because there is the information about for example, a nurse connected with public health or a public health veterinarians. So there are many different jobs that they are outside in the world. They are connected with public health. It's also description of course about the salary but also resume what is, there is a description of the work that the person in that field will be doing and also what is, what they try when you are applying for that work what they are expecting from you to know. So it's quite interesting to go through that. But again, so it will be your own responsibility. So for example, if there will be the midterm test question the question will be like, what is the functional? What is the word of public health educator one or public health educator two? So that you know a little bit like what are the responsibilities? So you have little bit some kind of basic information. I also added the PowerPoint slide. So you will have PowerPoint slides reading on your own business textbook. Also here is the information about the office hours. So I will have that Friday from 11 30 to 3 p.m. So actually tomorrow also the office hours of teaching assistant will be added on the class website. And I found out on the class website there is the section that is called chat. I didn't know. So we can use maybe once a week I will just send information to the class. Yes, now for that one hour I am open or teaching assistant is open for the chat. So you can send whatever information. Sometimes during the online class when I'm teaching that I'm using the Skype. So you can use the Skype too. But I'm, you know, I'm afraid that I will be everybody will be, I will be just sitting and answering Skype and everything. So I probably cannot do that completely. But eventually if I will get on the Skype or on the chat so we can do the communication. So this is the basic of the syllabus. Now here you can get, how many of you have already the textbooks? Many of you, yeah, okay. What will be, what are the requirements for the class? It's the research paper, presentation, midterm and final exam.  Well, again, remember you are in the public health field. It's very important that you are, you know, expressing the information to the public by talking. You will do probably some of you will be doing, you know, education, public health promotion. So public actually talking and speaking it's very, very important. And I would like that you do that in that, you know, entertainment way or also in the way that you will really enjoy that and you will not have any fear of the public speaking. Usually I do the presentations in all my public health classes. So usually the alumni from my old public health classes they are giving me feedback, well, now we really enjoy to have the public speak, a public speech. Okay. So for all of this, you will have also a break at the end of the syllabus. Here in the red color, you have information that they are the due date.  I know it's a little bit more pages. It's probably 15 pages. But this is something that you will find all answers in the syllabus. I know that syllabus could be like one page or two page and maybe you have that experience with other professors to have that like that. But then probably you'll have so many questions all the time. So the syllabus actually it's based on the experience what I have with the students asking all the questions. So I try somehow to put that answers already in your syllabus. So I even try for you to arrange that what's happening for you week seven, week five, eight, week six, and week 11. So now you are thinking, oh, until the week five, I can just sleep. Please don't sleep. It's very important because you have to prepare. I am giving you a little bit of time, especially like completely in the beginning the first few weeks, because I know that you need to find the orientation in the class a little bit, asking first questions, getting information for the research paper and everything. But then you will have the presentations in the group. You already start to work on that as soon as possible. So here is also the grading system. I am not doing the scale. I am doing like everybody is responsible for its own points or the percentage. The reason is because you have the presentations and because you have presentations, you are working as a public health team together. So if I will do some kind of competitive things on scale, then you will be not sharing the information together and you will be not able to work as a public health team together. The word public health team is crucial for public health profession. I know it's probably completely different from all the experience that you have in other classes or maybe some of you are just coming from the high school and you are freshmen here. So that's completely new for you now like, wow, this is like public health team. But remember, and if you see some kind of situations that are happening on the environmental health or natural disasters, if it's not working team together in public health, then it's really additional, that situation is happening on its own if we already have the natural disasters. And you can check that and compare with Hurricane Katrina and all that things. So you need to find out and you need to learn how is it responsibly and fairly to work in the public health team. And so I will be trying to show you that part. So also please remember that I put their points, but don't do just regular summation of the points because this is not representation of your grade. You have to each of that points, you have to translate in percentage, it's the value. So you have research paper, you can see possible point 75, but it's 15% of your grade. So be aware about that. I always mentioned it in the beginning and it's happening many times at the end of the 10 weeks course that students are doing just summation. It's much better actually for the students to have the value, the percentage. And so it means that because otherwise you would be thinking all these 75 points is the same like that 75 points. It's not, it's different value. So be aware about that. I will also give extra credit. I have to think about that. So you will probably, this will be updated on your class website, probably week two or week three. So you will have time to do any time extra credit because the deadline will be the week 10. So it's usually the last day of the class. And because you are in public house class doing the preventative things, you can do, even if you think like, oh, maybe I don't need to have extra credit, you never know. So I hope many of you will do the preventative things. And if in the first few weeks you are free, you will be able to do the extra credit. Usually the extra credit is to attend any of seminars on public house or also videos that they are also already on our department of population health and disease prevention website. So you will be able to listen to the video and write the summary. So usually there are some kind of examples like that, but I will post that during the week two. If your work is late, so that will be one minus one point for each day. Okay, so that's the information. Another very important thing is you will be, when you submit your research paper, the research paper will be submitted to digital draw books and also to turn it in. Why it's important to do the turn it in because you have to understand that your work needs to be completely creative work, your own work. Sometimes if students are not completely sure how this works, even if you put the quotation marks, but sometimes I have experienced, this is the students, that half of the paper was quotation marks. Okay, so I know you are laughing now, but I'm always surprised that when it comes really to the research paper, suddenly half of this is quotation mark and students is really strongly telling me, well, I knew about that and I did it because I liked it, it was perfectly written, I couldn't write it better, so I did the quotation mark. I really acknowledge the author, but it's not possibly, imagine that you will do research and you will send your research paper to specific scholar journal and now there will be all the quotations. So of course, the other researchers that they brought that, they are always checking the topics and if they see like, wow, somebody's using, even you will give the acknowledge that, but you are using exactly the sentence, they will be quite upset because maybe they spent day and night to creating the words and creating the sentences and now even if they get the acknowledge, it's exactly their sentence. So if you are using the citations and acknowledging the author, we are using if there is some important information, if there are statistics or something that is quite new that you learn and based on this, you are writing your paper, then you are acknowledging that, but even this part, you are creating the sentences. So be sure about that. Another thing I wanted to share with you, sometimes students were thinking, okay, I will do, I called it like fishing. So they take one sentence from, they have maybe 10, 15, maybe 20 articles and they think one sentence is from each of that paper and then put everything, all the sentences, fit that together to their paper. But I can see that, it's the colorful, I can see like 1% there, 1% there, 1% there. So eventually if you put that together, that is like 20%, it's from outside, it's not the creative thing of that student and you will see like, because I can see like blue color, that the whole sentence was taken from there and there. Another red color, this sentence, exactly. So I was just laughing about that, I was thinking, well, this is really fishing for that. So be aware, I can see all the colors there.  I was sometimes thinking that I would like to show you in that colors, but I cannot hide the name of the authors of that article, so it's not possible to show that to you. But I think you can maybe have access on your own to turn it in, so you can see that different colors. Another thing is, I have sometimes experienced with students that I check that and it's written like, oh, 70% and that is written like other student work. So I check that and it's the same student, but the student was using that paper, that topic to other class. And the student is telling me, oh, it's my creative work from other class. And I thought, well, it's impossible, you can't do that. And student is challenging me and telling, oh, I love the topic, what can I do? I just love the topic, so I wanted to have the same paper. So then you don't need to take other classes and it's not possible to do that, like that. So be aware about that too. So if you have and you have some topic and maybe you use that in your anthropology class or writing class and you like the topic, it's great if you have the topic, but you have to do from the different perspectives. You cannot use the same one for other class. And if I talk about that, I'm trying to explain to the students to prevent being embarrassed when you are in the real field and really working as a public health provider. Because imagine that something like this, you will send to the scholar journal. It's not possible that there will be one article the same published in two or three scholar journals. Then we don't need to have so many scholar journals. So be aware about that. I always try to explain that and I'm sometimes surprised that even I explain everything, I'm still getting some kind of responses. It's not always, but sometimes. So be aware about that and trust yourself that even if you think like, well, this was perfectly written, I cannot write it better. Yes, you can. You can write it much better than somebody wrote it there because you have more new innovative things. Sometimes I let students to know, well, if you are not so sure in the beginning how to write that, try to read these different articles and think like if somebody will be sitting in front of you, how you will be talking about that, how you will express yourself or to do recording your thoughts and based on this start to do the writing. So you can always please believe in yourself, trust yourself that you can do it much better than somebody in other articles. Okay, so this is very, I put it in the red color, so be aware about this. In case also you need to do, you need some help with the writing, there are links that you can get also help. So they will be the tutoring through the writing. If you have any questions, please come to us also to me or teaching assistant will be very happy to help you also. Literature, where you can find literature for your research papers. This is through the library. If you click on that, you have also specific section. Some of you were actually on Monday on the welcoming. How many of you were on the welcoming for public house majors? Okay, do you remember you have the presentation from the librarian? So that was very useful. Some of you, if you were not there, click also on that link and or maybe make the appointment and go and talk with the librarian. We have the specific section on public house. So all the articles and everything will be helpful to you. Okay, so here is additional, they are additional website. There will be more additional website during the process through the class. This is the course schedule. So you will know what's happening each of the week. As you can see, it's quite a little bit tricky. Do we have the first week or not yet? So it looks like partial, yes. So you will see what's happening in each of that week and what kind of topic we will be covering. So that's your schedule here. We will be also going through video clips. We will have the guest speakers. We will be also having the public house news. So all that information, you will go through the class. You have also here due when it's red color. So please stop and see what information is there. Okay, you will have the midterm. And there is the research paper, another presentation. And then you will have final exam. I would like a little bit concentrate also on some citations or proverbs staying healthy.  You'll think it's true. So just the basic proverbs like that, if public will be following that, we probably will decrease the problem with obesity and diabetes. So I wish I would like to know who said that back 1918, so almost soon it will be 100 years back. Or other from Hippocrates, the food shall be the medicine. How many of you are thinking when you had the breakfast that what you are eating is the medicine that you are putting in your body? And thinking like, wow, this what I'm eating will decrease my cholesterol level. This what I'm eating will improve my blood pressure. This what I'm eating will increase my cognitive part and I will be just so alert and listening and absorbing everything in the class. How many of you are thinking in that way? Ah, so I hope all some of you, that's good, that's good that we have like pioneers. So it is almost guaranteed after you will finish this class that many of you will be thinking in that way. And your other friends or classmates will be thinking like, what are you doing? Why are you thinking what you are putting on your plate? Eat what you want to eat.  Or thinking like, well, here are the antioxidants, anti-inflammatory type of the food, fruits, vegetables and grains and beans. And so I need to have this antioxidants to be really alert, you know, in my classes. What do you think about Thomas Jefferson? So how many of you, based on Thomas Jefferson, how many of you are complaining that my next class is quite far the location from this class? How many of you need to, you know, the other class is so far from this class? How many of you need to run? Okay, okay, so you are fortunate. Okay, you are fortunate because it's amazing. You will be doing some physical activity. You have to run. So enjoy that, be happy about that, okay? So some of you that you have, you know, moving just from this classroom to another classroom, you are not doing any physical activity.  So enjoy that, okay? So what do you think about William Shakespeare? So do you think, do you agree with William Shakespeare? Is it true? So think about that sometimes like how much time you are just spending and debating and doing the assumption and then it's all on its own. So how many of the hours you are also losing because of that? So that's also, it's very important and some part of the stress management we will have in the class. And last here is the proverb that is actually accepted by Public Health Association here, students accepted that. And if you look on that, what do you think? Do you think also it's very important, that one? And it's something like, you know, in the short version I can mention like, well, in healthy body that is the healthy mind. So I would like also, and I hope after you finish this class that you will be aware in order to have A plus or A, or the A minus the greatest grades in the class, it's connected not only how many hours you are just studying and studying and studying but also how you are taking care of your body. Do you have enough of fresh air? Do you have nutritious food with high level of antioxidants helping you to, that your mind will be working in the proper way? Do you do really stress management? Because it's not just if I will be sitting 10 hours and studying, maybe you are sitting but maybe you are not studying efficiently. If you are taking care of your body and you will have your body healthy, then maybe you need less amount of the time to understand that topic in your class. And you will be able to do all of that things, do beyond the fresh air and having and buying the, you know, fresh fruit and having very important thing is enough of hours of sleep. You will learn also in this class how sleep is important. I know you probably heard that, your parents were telling all you need to sleep but you will learn why. What's happening with the neurotransmitters in the body and you will like realize, okay, I know my parents were right but now I know why. So that's another thing that you will be, you know, learning in this class. Here, I would like a little bit mention about the rubric for your research paper. So it's really self-explanatory. As you can see in the beginning, when I have the rubric, I just did this part and then on experience with the students, I realize, well, I have to put that, specify that step by step. So first, when you are preparing for the paper, please go through this section about, you know, learning the problem in public house and how you can solve that and what can be in the future and then check this portion if everything is there because you can see each of this is divided by steps. The topic for the research paper, you can pick up whatever topic you want. Maybe you are always interested or maybe through the class, you will learn like, oh, this topic is excellent. I would like to concentrate on that. And as you can see here, they are the five references but only three needs to be scientific. The others can be whatever sources. Why I put there others from other sources because you need to get the motivation.  And maybe there will be some article about Clean Water Act or maybe article about antioxidants or something on the global level and you think like, oh, this is something that I would like to explore more. This is actually the problem in public house. So that's one of the reference that will give you motivation and based on this you will develop the research paper. Also, there is the space that you can express your opinion and your thoughts. So please use that because it's very important. You can see here at the end because you will be surprised that how students could be also innovative and having great ideas that maybe public house professionals, they don't have any clue. They are trying to find out how to solve the some problem and somehow it just clicks and you will get with that idea. So if there will be something, maybe you will be even writing and sending your research paper to the public house in Orange County department or to the government or something like that. You never know where your paper eventually can end up. So use your thoughts and your ideas. So this is the research paper. I'm not going much deeper into that because I know it's still quite far before it's due for the research paper. I know there will be a lot of questions just one week before the submission but start to observe now. Start to look around yourself like what is connected with public house. Presentation, so it will be also the signup sheet that will be uploaded on the class website. If you know somebody already in this class and you realize, oh, I would like to work together on that topic, so please try to do this because it's always good that you know somebody and you can to be like the partners through the group that you start to work on the topic. If not, there are the topics, I will show that to you. So based on the topic on your interest, you can sign up yourself for that topic. So that will be uploaded probably tomorrow so you can start to write your name there. When you will be working as a public house team together, also you are probably thinking, and sometimes I have the comments from students they are telling me like, oh, we have 10 students in the public house team, it's so many, there should be presentation just for two people or three people. Well, I am trying to do the virtual community. I am trying to prepare you for the life as a professionals in public house. You will never, ever have just two people or three people in public house team. 10 people is the small amount, usually there will be 50 people or 100 people in the public house team. So this is something that you need to find out how to communicate, how to work together. You have probably, you will have also meeting after the class one or two times that you will see your partners, public house partners in that team. You have to decide who will be like coordinator, who will be the leader, who will be part or responsible for the specific sections in that specific topic in public house. So that's quite important. Why also I established the public house presentations? I know here in the classroom it's just the presentation, but imagine that you are working in public house team. Now suddenly your public house team of 10 people is called to go to Africa because there is the risk of exposure of hepatitis A and they found out that children are not vaccinated. And so you realize, okay, there is the specific window before there will be the symptoms of the disease. So during the incubation period of time, during the specific window, if we will do vaccination, there will be no symptoms, no disease among children. So now there are 10 people working in that. So imagine if some of them will miss, maybe I will not bring the injection or some kind of delivery or something that it will be missed or not enough for that specific population. So what will happen? The children will get sick because the team didn't work the proper way as it should be working. Maybe not because there was not enough of supplies, but maybe the team was not working. They were maybe calling like, oh, I just forgot or I didn't have time or anything like that. So it's not possible. So I know here it's just the virtual community. It's just the points on your presentation. But I would like that you will feel close to your heart that part of this presentation is something that I'm learning for my future as a public health professionals that I will be responsible for that. And you will be really surprised. I got the feedback from the former students that they told me, wow, we are really trained for that. And I can see that many of that other people in public health profession, they are not trained enough. Or sometimes they tell me that this public health team, they are learning in master degree or PhD level sometimes. So it's great that you will have the opportunity to learn that now. And I hope you will enjoy that because then you will do the presentation, you will learn like team working together support. So it's always fun. So I hope you will enjoy that. Okay. So this is the rubric for presentation. Okay, so that's the group presentation. Here I also added information about your degree. So that I know that some of you are just coming. It's the first year for you as a public health major in public health policy or a public health science. So here is the additional information that in case of course we had it on our public health website but it's also connected with your syllabus. So this was the syllabus. I usually spent a lot of time, the first class. Here are the topics. So please check also the topics that and find out that you are really interested in them. Some of them is about the healthcare system, public health service agencies, different countries that, you know, what is the public health because it's also very important to compare how the public health works on the global level. What are the public health policies? Any of you can just name that you know what just example of any public health policy. What could be public health policy? No smoking, then 20 feet of a building. Yeah, excellent. Okay, other one. That's great. Okay, yeah. Do you have vaccine? Which one? Do you have vaccine? Yeah, okay. So other one. Yeah. Yeah, perfect that we don't have, you know, frequently a problem with E. coli or this E. coli that. Yeah, okay. Yeah, so I mean it's amazing. I'm looking forward to be, you know, with this class together because you are amazing. You already know many things that they are connected with public health policies. Basic one also, another one. How many of you are riding bicycle? Okay, are you wearing helmets? Yeah, no? So this is public health policy too, okay. And of course, everybody probably you have the seatbelt when you are in the car, okay. This is the public health policy. Who is, I mean, when your classmate mentioned to go to the restaurant and check, who is checking that, yes, public health professional. This checking the seatbelts, it's public health policy, but who is checking that? Law enforcement. So it's the policeman, not public health. But so there is also, you can see two different examples. Some of the public health policy is checked by public health professionals. Some of them are some other institution or some other that they are checking for that. What is healthy people? So some of you will be interested maybe to know about that. So you will find out. There are the guidelines, it's the framework how people should live and be healthy. And you will be quite surprised like, and you can even do experiment and ask people if they know about that. Because everything, all of the recommendations are actually covered in that. So if you decide to be in group one to five or if you decide to be in the group six to 10. So you will have different topics about the outbreaks, the infectious diseases problems, different public health occupations. So maybe you will be using this group, we'll be using this textbook. And also achievements. Are you aware of any achievements in public health? You can just name that. Yes, antibiotics, that was really big, big change. Yes. What else? Polio vaccine. Yes, that was amazing. Yeah, something else. You always think, I mean, it's great. You are thinking about the big, big things. But what about that you can, how many of you think maybe when you go from this class you will go to Fontaine and drink the water from the fountain? Maybe some, yeah, clean water act. I mean, this is amazing. You cannot do that in every country. So this is like, you can see, if you look around yourself, so just the basic things. Yes, I can drink the water from the fountain. So that public health infrastructure was one of the achievements. It's still not on the global level. You can travel in some of the countries that it's not possible. But that's one of that also. So it's all eradication, you know, smallpox. So you can see there are many, many of different achievements. It's hard sometimes to tell which was more important than the other one. Sometimes you feel like, yes, antibiotics, that was very crucial. Vaccination, very crucial. But even the other are helping us, are improving the quality of life. So imagine how many of you have experienced going to other countries that the water was not drinkable? And you have to, all the time, what did you do? Sinking all the time about the bottle of the water? Yeah. So your mind, it's constantly, do I have the bottle of water, drinkable, bottle of water with me? So you can see there is the quality of life.  There are shits in that. You are thinking about that instead of something else. So we have to be aware of some components like that in public house. And future challenges, what do you think? I know, of course, you will learn that, therefore you are in this class to learn that. But what do you think, just from your idea what could be challenges? Future challenges in public house and on the global level, any ideas? Anybody? Yeah. Yeah, preventative things. Because of course, health care system, it's going, the financial part of that, it's going up so much. So is it possible that there will be access to everybody but also doing the preventative things? So there is the combination of medical care system with public house system. That is another, and also maybe new diseases. How we will, what we will do about that. Or resistance to antibiotics. That can be another challenge. So there are many different things as a challenges in the public house. So that will be on the group to find out, and oh, actually one more thing I wanted to show you. In case you will pick up any of that topics and you would like to a little bit to do debate about that. So you can go a little bit lower and there are some additional questions. It's not that you are responding to the questions but it can be helpful to each of the group that if any topic is connected with that so you can use some of that portion and explain that. So there are the topics. This one you see the road map for week one and two. So I try a little bit to put that. It's not completely yet study guide for the midterm or study guide for the final exam but it's a little bit giving you idea of what we will cover, some important links, we will also go through them in the class but it's just giving you a little bit idea. Also the publisher, they have a combination of the tests. So you can click on that and doing some kind of exercise on the tests. So here supplementary sources for week one and two. This is actually the chapters that I will be sharing with you. You have that in the PDF form. So that will be in case you would like to go faster through this and not accept our points, you can print that or use that. Okay, oh, this is this one actually and this is like additional information. We will also go through that. Here is tips for the draft audios. I decided also because last year I have little bit sometimes problems. When I told students, yes, you are preparing for the presentation. Some students were thinking or somehow they took them too long to start to respond and to work or some of that topics they should do. So sometimes the leaders in that public house team, the groups, they were thinking that was not fair working with other students in the group. So I decided that each of the person or they will be two of you working together. So this is just draft. It's just like to be sure that you were working, that everybody is doing the fair work. So whatever you prepare, even if it's not yet the final, you will just use, this is another thing that is very good, that you will be learning how to use YouTube or the audios. So you will maybe two of you will be working on one topic. So you will do like just three minutes. Yes, this is our work, we prepare that. You will be not graded on that. It's just that you did that and you post it. So then you are getting like one or two points because somehow it was hard for me to find out that there was the challenges. One was like the group leaders were telling while we didn't get anything from the student and the student was telling no, I was working on that. So that was the word against the word. So I decided, well, if there will be whatever, it can be PowerPoint or it can be just PDF form and there will be like two, three minutes audio just to telling, yes, I did this research and I did this and this part and just post that. So it means, yes, we have that and we just make the mark, it's there. So then it's possible to see that everybody was doing some kind of fair work. Plus I'm thinking, well, maybe you can learn very soon to use the talk on the audio. So you will be not in a little bit high level of the stress. Like I may be at this moment when they do the camera. Actually, I lost a level of the stress, I'm okay, I'm fine. But it's something that if you learn that when you do that that will be helpful to you. So this is this part. And here is Public Health Week's news. This is the thing that I would like also and it's coming almost to the end of this class. I know it's usually the first meeting. Me, the students, it's like introductory in case you have questions or anything. So we will start mostly with the chapters next class. These are the links that I would like that also you go through that links and check that. You probably know this World Health Organization. We have two very important organizations. They are World Health Organization and PAHO also. It's Pan American Health Organization. So they are trying and helping on the global level to keep some form of the public health infrastructure. American College of Lifestyle Medicine. You will have different topics there when you go through this website. Very important presentation will be there about sleep. How important sleep is and what's happening if you don't have enough hours of sleep. So this is something that I will be sharing with you next week. Exercise is medicine. Do you think it's true? Yeah, so this was the movement done through American College of Sports Medicine just probably four years ago. Now they have their own conference and now it's completely accepted that yes, exercise is medicine. But four years ago, it just started. So people were thinking, oh, what are you talking about? Exercise is a medicine. Exercise is just the exercise. Now, we learn that if people are doing the physical activity and any form of the exercise, they are improving their health and decreasing the risk of symptoms of chronic diseases. Another thing I always do with my students, I always let them go and maybe some of you heard that from other classmate, maybe no, maybe not. I usually let always, because our class is until 10, 15, I usually always let students to go five minutes earlier but under one condition, okay? The condition is that during that five minutes, you will be doing something for your house because remember, this public health profession, I know you are laughing, okay? I will tell you what immediately. Because public health, you are still sitting, okay? You still have two minutes before that five minutes. So public health profession is very unusual in the way that you have to be the role model. You have to be involved. You have to feel like how, what is that being housing?   It's very unique. You cannot do that with other professionals like how, for example, mathematicians. So how the mathematicians could be, of course, role model about the knowledge about the math, mathematic, but you as a public health provider as doing this house modification. So five minutes, it means you will do what? You will do walking, breathing fresh air, shaking all the trees and leaves and trying to make the connection. Stress management, laughing, smile. I would like to see smile on all of your faces, communicate with your classmate and think about anti-oxidative food for your lunch, fruits, vegetable grains and beans to see today on your plate. Under that conduction, I am letting you go and see next week, okay?


We just repurposed this old window. We threw a coat rack a planner and a shelf Bam multi-purpose And we'll show you how we did it right now What is up a welcome back do you like to do builder make it a great and that's what we do in this channel every week This week we're repurposing an old window to make a family Weekly planner thing yep little chalk paint little shelf some code hangers bam family organized That's what I'm hoping step one We're gonna stay in our shelf. We got a one by eight shelf chopped it down to 36 inches We're gonna stain that shelf well. She's doing that. I'm gonna tape off the trim pieces on the window get rid of paint Let's do it do it Step by two we have to grind out a little bit of the frame We have a Bracket that we want to use But the frame isn't allowing us to use it now. We're gonna chalkboard paint up in the windows I thought you were gonna break it. I thought I was gonna break it Wow, this stuff will stick to anything. What's that this chalk paint? Yeah Yeah, so it's just getting ready to say this chalk paint. It's by a folk art It's dishwasher safe. It's indoor outdoor multi-surface glass ceramics wood metal Looks like it goes on everything. It's like Frank's red hot. It is a little like Frank's red hot Well, the windows are drying. Am I making you nervous with this glass? Oh goodness Well, this is drying. We're gonna swap this hardware out take this off Throw the brackets on and throw some coat hooks on the bottom looking good Back for coat number two Just putting a second coat on looks a little streaky still see what our brush marks Yeah, this time we're gonna try a brush see if it I mean the foam roller did okay or the foam brush did okay But maybe the bristle brush will be better Dry Didn't take very long Time to remove the tape and see what it looks like. Let's see how bad of painting I did. Yes He's the worst painter. I don't even know why I let him tape it. Whoops. Yeah, I see.  Yeah, so oh lesson learned.  No, we don't know. Yeah be careful Who a good idea Hey, not too bad Can you see his little piece? See a little piece for the paint peeled up a Little gap down here. It's okay. I'll fix it Yep, it's fixable little Little peel fix it in the end Step five. We're gonna add our shelf. We're gonna make it so we can put things on it Yeah, put the knot down there looking all rustic and old Hope is on Look how cute we use silver screws there. So we're gonna paint them brown real quick, right? I have this Burnt umber step six Time to make it like calendar risk Kim's gonna add some vinyl letters to make it the days of the week and I'm gonna fix my mistakes You do if you had an old window. What are you gonna do? What have you done? If you like this project hit that like button if you're not yet subscribe Hit that subscribe button and hit that bell because we do this every week And until next week check out one of these videos over here. I don't even know if I put them in the right place There's videos somewhere on the screen Check them out


So, so what is what is this one? So this is the smart step. It's an in-soul-based physical activity monitor So you just put it in your in your shoe in the morning And then you go about your day and it keeps track of your steps and all the calories that you burn So there's a battery here Yes, that's a battery and what kind of electronics semi-conductors and then some pressure sensors An accelerometer helps to figure out. Are you running? Are you walking? Are you cycling? This part is flexible here? Yes, it's very flexible. All right. How long is battery life? How long is battery life? Several days. Several days. It depends on what centers they're on All right, so what is Bitware Labs? Bitware Labs? It's a spin-off from the University of Alabama and originates from the academic research in my lab. My name is Edward Caisenov. I'm a professor at the University of Alabama And these are two projects which originated in my lab One is a food intake monitor another one is a physical activity monitor So it's acubite and smart step, right? Yeah, that's correct. So these are the the first two? You do already do a lot of stuff? We do a lot of stuff. I have other projects Where we I mean I typically work on kind of medical devices for monitoring of human condition For example food intake sensor research originated from the interest of the medical community in Montana when somebody's eating and how much This is how it looks like, right? Yeah, this is a prototype that we have right now And how long is battery life in this better life in this one today's No, no this this one is actually in this incarnation. I believe it's about one day Should should you also have some kind of sensor inside the mouth somehow to kind of combine or that's not gonna be Well, how would be the best way to actually really monitor how much calories gets absorbed? Maybe image recognition that's a very challenging question even image recognition alone will not help you Just because imagine you have a salad right and then on the salad you can have a fat-free dressing or Normal dressing and the caloric contents of the salad will be quite quite different So it's it's a very challenging problem which has not been resolved today But this is part of it. This is part of the solution, right? This is part of the solution We can tell automatically when people are eating we can characterize how much they eating and we can actually monitor eating habits like There is a difference, you know In the time and the number of choose and the number of swallows that you take if you eat in like 200 grams of food to eat in two kilograms those are the extremes that we actually observed in our studies so and No, is this part of the the solution here? That's the part of the demonstration Measuring here. And so what's next you're talking about getting to what's next? Yeah We want to modify this prototype and make it consumer-friendly so that people Can practically use it? You know humans are not very good at figuring out how much they eat I mean there has been numerous research literature on this and I think the basic principle is as long as you see food Do you keep eating it? Yeah, you eat everything that's in the plate. Exactly. That's evolutionary You should understand that centuries of evolution developed this habit because you know There could be no food tomorrow, so you're better in everything you have today Yeah, but the times have changed so now this device is actually necessary to to help people Nice, did you have a lot of other ideas? What kind of stuff you have you're gonna do at the at the bit world labs? Yeah, we have plenty of ideas a lot of different projects medical application so for the smart step we're using it in Folks with a stroke stroke rehabilitation It actually we conducted a study with kids with cerebral palsy also trying to use in rehabilitation I have projects where we're trying to develop devices to help people cure smoking and And so on so on nice Fixing these issues in society instead of just People sit back and they don't do anything about it All right. Yeah, and that's that's the idea trying to help with the problems So what do you think about the Alitex about the show? Oh, it's excellent I mean there are so many amazing products. I've been visiting the booth and The quality is just over the top cool
