Biography:

Dr. David Kaufman is a Professor Emeritus in the Faculty of Education at Simon Fraser University and is devoting his retirement to studying and contributing to the topic of happiness.

Dr. Kaufman’s online happiness course and Facebook community help people to overcome their blocks and challenges and move forward positively in their lives. He is devoting his retirement life to helping others learn and apply the skills to be happy, so they can live their best lives and become ‘beacons of light’ to inspire and motivate others.

Abstract:

Happy people experience a more enjoyable life and are a ‘beacon of light’ to those around them. A beacon of light is someone who inspires or encourages others. They guide and give hope to others and spread their positivity and motivation to people around them. Not surprisingly however, an unhappy is toxic to everyone around them. The famous Terman study from Stanford University followed people for 80 years and found that being around unhappy people is toxic and affects your health and lifespan in a similar way to second-hand smoke. Unhappiness drives people away, creating a vicious cycle that erodes positive connections with family members, friends, and even strangers. If you radiate joy, positivity and kindness to your patients, this has a positive impact on their healing journey and health outcomes.

Abstract:

It is a fact that women who are ready to give birth to their babies naturally need to do some physical activity, such as standing, walking, sitting, or kneeling, in order to allow for the "gravity effect," which aids in cervix dilation. The upright postures or positions have been employed in a variety of birth situations and are widely regarded as a potent, safe, and simple means of accelerating labor progress and improving maternal outcome. The current research aims at studying the using of the upright positions during the second stage of labor and their impact on maternal outcome in second gravida mothers.

Abstract:

The complexity of health sciences programmes justifies scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. The complexity of health sciences programmes justify scaffolding to support students in becoming competent health professionals. Health sciences programmes demands the students to integrate relevant knowledge, psychomotor skills, and attitudes during learning of patient care at various learning platforms. We argue that the complexity of health sciences (HS) programmes warrants various approaches to scaffolding to promote internalisation and automatization of knowledge .
