G Workshop

[Laszlo Perry]

Beginning with the Industrial Revolution era, a workshop may be a room, rooms or building which provides both the area and tools (or machinery) that may be required for the manufacture or repair of manufactured goods. Workshops were the only places of production until the advent of industrialization and the development of larger factories. In the 20th and 21st century, many Western homes contained a workshop in either the garage, basement, or an external shed. Home workshops typically contain a workbench, hand tools, power tools, and other hardware. Along with the practical application of repairing goods, workshops are often used to tinker and make prototypes.[1][2][3]

Some workshops focus exclusively on automotive repair or restoration although there are a variety of workshops in existence today. Woodworking, metalworking, electronics, and other types of electronic prototyping workshops are among the most common.

In some repair industries, such as locomotives and aircraft, the repair operations have specialized workshops called back shops or railway workshops. Most repairs are carried out in small workshops, except where an industrial service is needed.

Once a Workshop activity has been created and saved, it is in the Set up phase. It must be in the Submission phase for students to be able to submit work and then moved to the Assessment phase for them to review each other's submissions. The switch may automatic or manual.

When you are satisfied with the final grading, click the icon or text to close the workshop. The Closed phase will be highlighted and students will be able to see their grades, any published submissions and a conclusion if you added one.

AAIC 2024 offers a variety of educational events before the main conference begins. These workshops andpreconferences provide an added opportunity to explore the most up-to-date basic science and the newest findings andpractices for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias.

This workshop aims to provide participants with an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles, inherent limitations, and clinical and research applications of the most common AD biomarkers present in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and blood. This workshop will include fundamental laboratory-focused sessions that capture the basics of neurochemistry, sample pre-analytics, assay methods and development, quality control, and regulatory considerations. It will also incorporate clinical practice-focused sessions that cover considerations for AD fluid biomarker implementation, the context of use, disclosure, and the gaps and opportunities in this field.

On a population level, evidence shows several modifiable risk factors can improve brain health. But getting from the science on risk to public health action in communities requires an understanding of how to effect change. What are the most effective ways to get individuals to change behavior? Where are the best places to reach people from various communities? How do you successfully pursue policies to create the environments that make behavior change easier?

This workshop will review the science from multiple academic disciplines on how to drive effective public health action. By connecting researchers and public health practitioners, this workshop will help bridge the gap between what we know academically and how public health can more effectively promote brain health.

This workshop will review commonly-used neuropsychiatric scales and statistical approaches depending on the distribution. Examples from different AD datasets will be used to demonstrate regression techniques. A significant portion of the workshop will also discuss and demonstrate techniques for evaluating model fit and covariate adjustment.

This workshop will provide hands-on training on the basics of neuroimaging. The workshop covers basic concepts in neuroimaging data formats, coordinate systems, data visualization and image processing software. There will be lessons in structural, functional, and diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and positron emission tomography (PET).

This workshop will explore key aspects of leadership, focusing on honing skills in communication, decision-making, and effective management styles. Through interactive exercises and discussions, attendees will gain practical insights and strategies to navigate the challenges unique to leadership in science.This workshop will go beyond theoretical concepts, providing tangible tools and resources to empower attendees as leaders in the field.

The mini-linguistic state examination (MLSE) is a rapid and comprehensive test to evaluate and subtype Primary progressive aphasia (PPA). This half-day workshop will take the attendees through the description and elements of the MLSE providing case examples and videos. Details regarding scoring and analysis of errors with examples will also be shown, and ongoing work in various languages across the world will be highlighted.

The role of pathological interactions with blood vessels and the downstream neuroinflammation in vascular contributions to dementia (VCID) is an understudied and potentially therapeutically relevant area of research. This workshop will cover several aspects of neuroimmune interactions, starting from recent discoveries in translational animal models and patient-centered molecular and cellular models.

This workshop has been designed by board certified neuropsychologists, geriatricians, neuroscientists and geriatric specialty anesthesiologists to train individuals on the type of cognitive domains most vulnerable to anesthesia and surgery. The workshop will explain how to behaviorally identify common neurodegenerative disorders with the highest rates of delirium risk and how to administer common perioperative cognitive screening tools in preoperative settings for either in person or telephone screening. It will also explore components of frailty assessment, and delirium screening for the post-anesthesia care unit setting.

This workshop explores some of the challenges and recommendations to conduct research that is truly inclusive of persons living with dementia and their closest carers, and representative of cultural diversities. It also explores considerations when conducting research in low- or middle-income country (LMIC) settings. This workshop is a global and interdisciplinary perspective on "lived experience" and co-design research.

This workshop will provide an introduction to hearing and vision impairment in individuals with cognitive impairment, including data and perspectives from high-income to low- and middle-income countries, It will also provide hands-on training in the assessment of hearing, vision, and olfaction in individuals with cognitive impairment, as well as hands-on assessment of cognitive function in individuals with hearing and/or vision impairment. The session is designed for researchers (junior to senior) as well as clinicians and staff working in either research or clinical settings.

In this workshop, researchers and health professionals will have a practical review of advanced analytical methods commonly used in scientific articles to model change of continuous outcomes (i.e. cognitive scores, some measure of physical function) over time.

In this workshop a dynamic overview of the opportunities for leveraging and integrating multimodal data to address pressing challenges in AD/ADRD will be explored. The workshop will begin with an overview of several existing data repositories in the AD/ADRD ecosystem. Attendees will then work in small teams to identify and outline research questions that are enabled by multimodal data and will pitch these ideas to a team of experts in the field.

This workshop will explore key challenges facing the field related to making brain imaging more accessible to socioeconomically, culturally, and geographically diverse populations. These areas would include health care policy, technology (software and hardware), trials/clinical application, sociocultural considerations, and language/education. It will include experts on dementia research in diverse populations, the role of health disparities in dementia, and the use of neuroimaging biomarkers.

This joint NIA-AA half-day workshop will provide an opportunity for those newly-established or long-standing research teams to have hands-on experience with accessing and utilizing tailored targeted research resources developed by research teams supported through the targeted NIA funding opportunity. This workshop will also include discussions and strategies on how to integrate effective strategies, health communications plans, and processes specific to each team's local community. A goal is to create a network of research teams that will return with new recruitment approaches and attempt modifications to their current systems of participant recruitment.

Funding is a necessary aspect of moving your research or study forward. In this workshop, attendees will participate in a dynamic session with representatives from funding organizations, researchers/clinicians with active awards, and those who provide the peer-review expertise to share their tips, tools and real-world experiences in seeking funding. Funding agencies will share their insights, indispensable tools, and real-world experiences, providing attendees with a comprehensive understanding of the strategies that lead to successful funding acquisition.

Technology and Dementia, a preconference to AAIC, will convene researchers and members of the industry interested in technology research and development, including mobile technology, home-based technology and social networking. Sessions explore various types of technologies as tools to support innovative study design in research and as interventions for persons living with dementia and their care partners. The program consists of invited speakers, as well as oral and poster presentations from submitted abstracts. A reception will follow for registered attendees.
