Guatemala has a large indigenous Maya population speaking over 20 different languages, yet there are few healthcare services available in Mayan languages. This leads to widespread marginalization and health injustices for the Maya people, with poor health outcomes being the result of systemic inequalities. The Maya Health Alliance aims to address this through a community-based model of healthcare that incorporates Mayan storytelling and narratives to help heal patients and raise awareness of the issues facing the rural Maya population.

Discussion Week II: Heath Promotion across Prevention Levels Primary level At the primary level, the program’s title would be “Racial/Ethnic Differences in the Percentage of Gestational Diabetes Mellitus Cases Attributable to Overweight and Obesity”. The program’s target population is pregnant woman, Asian, black, American Indian and Hispanic. The goal, although non-Hispanic black and American Indian women may benefit the most from pre-pregnancy reduction in obesity, interventions other than obesity prevention may be needed for women from other racial/ethnic groups. Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), defined as carbohydrate intolerance leading hyperglycemia fist recognized during pregnancy, is associated with increased risk for pregnancy and delivery complications, including cesarean section, infant macrosomia, and neonatal hypoglycemia. The estimates of the prevalence of GDM among pregnant women in the United States range from 3% to 7%. Most women in who, GDM is diagnosed do not continue to have hyperglycemia after delivery. In the United States, similar to racial/ethnic differences in type 2 diabetes, the risk of developing GDM is highest among Asian (particularly South Asian), black, AmericanIndian, and Hispanic women and these differences do not appear to be fullyexplained by differences in pre-pregnancy body mass index. Florida is the fourth most populous US state and has high racial/ethnic diversity, making it a good source of data for studying racial/ethnic variations in the contribution of BMI status to GDM risk. Grand funding for this program at the primary level is essential. Not only can it save one life but two. It will help target this population of woman and help prevent them to getting to this stage in their pregnancy. It will help develop good programs and have well educated individuals educate them in every aspect to help them prevent GDM. Secondary level At the secondary level of prevention, the program’s title would be “Breast self-examination. The program target 20-60 years of age. Secondary prevention are those preventive measures that lead to early diagnosis and prompt treatment of a disease, illness or injury to prevent more severe problems developing. Here health educators such as Health Extension Practitioners can help individuals acquire the skills of detecting diseases in their early stages. As a heath care worker, I have been in the field for over ten 10 years and have seen so many different cases and situations. The recommended age to get a mammogram is 45 years old or older. I honestly have been getting mammograms since I was 15 or 16. The reason being is because I fibrocystic breast. Fibrocystic breast is a noncancerous change that gives breast a lumpy or ropelike texture. I once had a case of a 22 year old with breast cancer, and I also had a close friend/ school mate who was my age at the time 24 or 25 who was diagnose with breast cancer. Goals of the program are screening mammography saves lives, as wel ...

Mexicans and Guatemalans are increasingly turning to technology to fight their country's history of corruption, tainted elections and governance with technology ranging from a simple cellphone to anonymous whistleblower websites. Both countries notoriously non-transparent political scene has been plagued for decades by electoral fraud, dirty money, backroom deals and actual ballot-stealing. In recent years, a wide array of insurgent political forces and transparency activists have brought new information technology forces to bear on efforts to make elections freer, fairer and more transparent. These efforts vary in sophistication and this panel will showcase some of them.

Within the past few years ago the US State Dept’s eDiplomacy office has launched initiatives to increase citizen involvement in the government and develop civil society. Since 2010 35 events called TechCamps -- one to two day conferences – have been convened with about 2,850 participants across the globe, in which civil society organizations have worked on challenges and real world problems alongside international and local technologists to develop solutions, and the events connected these organizations to global networks of volunteer technologists. The Virtual Student Foreign Service (VSFS) program has given over 1,200 US college students the opportunity to to work with USG agencies without leaving home. The program has expanded since 2009 to 323 projects across 11 agencies in 2014-15, with 3,385 students applying. Following this success, State is launching the Virtual Fellows Program to recruit seasoned U.S. citizen professionals as virtual consultants on issues faced by State.

Hans Rosling, professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, recently stated that despite the wide availability of data in the world, there is a significant gap in local access to this knowledge. In this panel, experts in media development and mobile technology will discuss how information is shared in low-bandwidth environments. The panel will include case studies, interactive discussion about the sharing of news and information in areas of limited web connectivity, and tips on how to deal with issues of security, trust and safety. Examples include creative, interactive radio broadcasts; training and engagement of citizen journalists via SMS; and the challenges of maintaining data integrity in regions of high risk reporting. The session will end with a discussion of trending issues related to connectivity, such as offline participation in social media and the emergence of sensor networks. http://schedule.sxsw.com/2014/events/event_IAP25082

The Habit of Care: Technologies of Living and Laboring Cyborgs Within the larger discourse around digital cultures, much attention is given to care. Care infrastructure includes physical infrastructure of access to remote spaces, regulatory and policy environments to control the digital spaces, redesigned geographies to house the new populations created by the ICT industries, and is discussed in disciplines as varied as Artificial Intelligence and Climate Change. Care Technologies find obvious resonances with the Foucaultian idea of ‘Technologies of the Self’, reminding us of the normative nature of measurement, cognition, discipline and punishment that is an inherent part of care. The responses to Care Technologies and the Labor of Caring are not uniform. Some clearly identify the emergence of Care Technologies as a new form of alienation of labour, leading to discrimination and inequity. Others celebrate the ways in which the penetrative nature of the digital – from deep space probes to the sub-molecular conception of the human – allow us to imagine social interactions and our relationships with our own bodies in new ways. In all the discourse around Care, there is silence about its form, function and nature. While attention is given to infrastructure, labour, politics, production and the intelligibility of care practices, we haven’t yet tried to fathom the conditions and generation of care, relegating it to the realm of the private and the subjective. Combining practice and theory, in different parts of the Global South, and inspired by gender and sexuality studies, this panel looks at Care as a Habit. We focus on the ‘care of technologies’, showing how the forced separation of care and technology needs to be revisited to look at conditions of being human, being social and being political. Working through diverse geographical and political contexts, the panel illustrates the tensions in understanding and engaging with Care and why there is a need to find new vocabularies and relationships to deal with this area. The speakers in this panel specifically focus on the following themes: Care, Affect and Nationalism (Nishant Shah) Labor and Care (Yeonju Oh) Care, Spirit and Memory (Kara Andrade) Care and the Globalizing of “Subaltern” Labor through the politics of Micro and the production and circulation of affect (Radhika Gajjala)

UNESCO estimates that of the 6,000 current languages spoken today, more than half will be extinct by the start of the next century, adding that "with the disappearance of unwritten and undocumented languages, humanity will lose not only a cultural wealth, but also important ancestral knowledge embedded, in particular, in indigenous languages." These languages require urgent intervention. In many remote locations, only a handful of speakers remain. There is also a growing movement where communities are recognizing the value of maintaining their native language despite internal and external pressures. Online media and web 2.0 tools hold immense possibilities for the inclusion of indigenous people in the online conversation and in democratic processes that start with the simple exercise of a person’s right to express themselves using the tools available to them. These tools have have a significant potential for cultural preservation and identity formation of young indigenous people.

Created by Mozilla Research in 2012 and now part of Linux Foundation Europe, the Servo project is an experimental rendering engine written in Rust. It combines memory safety and concurrency to create an independent, modular, and embeddable rendering engine that adheres to web standards. Stewardship of Servo moved from Mozilla Research to the Linux Foundation in 2020, where its mission remains unchanged. After some slow years, in 2023 there has been renewed activity on the project, with a roadmap now focused on improving the engine’s CSS 2 conformance, exploring Android support, and making Servo a practical embeddable rendering engine. In this presentation, Rakhi Sharma reviews the status of the project, our recent developments in 2023, our collaboration with Tauri to make Servo an easy-to-use embeddable rendering engine, and our plans for the future to make Servo an alternative web rendering engine for the embedded devices industry.
