This article explores what it means to engage youth in meaningful dissemination of research findings. To do so, the authors (a group of academic researchers and youth collaborators, aged 14-18) consider their experience working together on the Spaces & Places research project, a participatory visual methods research program that took place in Eskasoni, a Mi'kmaq community in rural Nova Scotia, Canada. Over the course of the project, we developed a strong sense of relational accountability. Reflecting on our experiences, we believe that this is central to the development of a dissemination process that is meaningful and engaging. To reflect on youth perspectives and experiences of the project's dissemination process, we use a participatory action research technique-the Socratic Wheel-to explore six factors that contribute to a meaningful dissemination process: The degree to which the project is relationship building, strengthening, rewarding, able to reach our intended audience, provides opportunities moving forward, balances structure with flexibility, and allows youth to have a sense of ownership over their work.

THE birth-rate in this country has fallen steadily now for more than a generation ; T the brief increase which took place round about the end of the war has now subsided, and the present rate is not substantially above the rate during the inter-war years. It is indeed questionable if the number of children born during the next few years will be enough to maintain the population at its present level. This may or may not be a good thing.At the other end of the scale, owing to the increased expectation of life, the number of the aged has been steadily increasing, and it was estimated in the white paper on national insurance that in 1970 there will be thirty-two persons over pensionable age for every hundred contributors. These figures, taken in conjunction, mean that the children for whose care we are now responsible, will have to maintain in the future a larger number of dependants at the twilight end of life together with a large number of dependants in the dawn of life. It must not be forgotten that the school-leaving age is due to be increased to sixteen years in the near future.At the present time, these two dependent groups-children of school age and under, and men and women of pensionable age and over-are not yet in combination as many as they have been in the past nor as many as they will be in the future ; the falling birth-rate has not yet been compensated in numbers by the increase in the numbers of the aged.The task before our children who are now being born is frightening, but fortunately they do not realize what they will have to face. It would, however, appear to be sound common sense and good economics to ensure that they should receive the best ' possible attention, and that every effort should be made to make them, as far as is humanly possible, perfect specimens of manhood and womanhood when they eventually enter the labour market. This is not a matter of sentiment. It is a matter of sound economics. The hardbitten industrialist, with his valuable machine tools, will take the greatest possible care that they are not neglected, that they do not lie exposed to the weather and that they do not fail to receive constant attention to keep them at their highest pitch of efficiency. He looks after his tools because he has to pay for them. He does not pay directly for his human machines, but in the end he pays the full cost for both. The human machine, however, takes fifteen to sixteen years or more to produce, and is amongst the most expensive tools in industry ; it certainly takes longer to produce than any other machine, and all the advances in science cannot bring it to perfection in a briefer period than was necessary a million years ago. It is fortunate that the necessity to give the highest possible standard of care to the child has been recognized in this country for many years, and particular credit must be given to successive Ministers of Food, who have done much to ensure that children of all social grades shall at least have an adequate amount of the most valuable types of food ; selective rati...

Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common types of cancer in women globally, which poses a significant public health threat on a global scale. Continuous updates of the recent development in terms of drug development and diagnosis are the key to decoding the complexity of the location-specific different forms of breast cancer. The aim of this review is to sifter out the current advances and status of drugs, treatments, therapies and technologies related to breast cancer. Methodology: The authors searched for a number of article sources, and all possible data was collected from different databases like MEDLINE, EMBASE, Pub Med, Web of Science and Google Scholar. to identify recent development in drug development and diagnosis. Result: After a detailed literature survey, it was found that in drug discovery, a number of new drug candidates for breast cancer have completed clinical trials; in the diagnosis of breast cancer, a number of new technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), smart bra, smart vest, clinical breast exam have developed. It was found that breast self-awareness has immense importance in the early detection of breast cancer, which is par with the accuracy of modern diagnostic tools. Conclusion: An effort has been made to present all the updated data related to recent drug development, like surveillance status of drugs in clinical trials, diagnosis and social stigma of people with breast cancer recovery. Recent technological advances have led to the development of many devices for the early detection of breast cancer, providing efficacy in line with the diagnostic tools that pave the way for early treatment using effective drug candidates.
