The first step in establishing a cyber ethical culture is to ask the really tough questions, the answer to which may be politically incorrect. HR (Human resources), legal, security and top management need to work together to set the tone they wish to flow through gaming; other times off-site meetings will work.

The second step is to include cyber ethical components in corporate security awareness campaigns to keep employees clued in.

The last but most important step is to be ready to make changes rapidly when cyber ethics becomes a component of information security efforts. We cannot predict how they will change tomorrow or next year – but we need to be prepared.

Some General Dos and Don’ts

Dos:

-Arrive in good time. The interview panel may be interviewing a lot of candidates so do not keep them waiting. Dress appropriately. Some organizations, especially technology companies, have a very casual dress code but, for most, a suit will be appropriate interview wear. Remember that you are being judged on the appearance that you present.

- Act appropriately, which usually means following the interviewer‟s lead. If you are offered a hand to shake, then shake it, by ut don‟t offer your own hand if nobody else seems interested.

- Engage with the interviewers. Smile, make eye contact, and build rapport.

- Answer the questions that are asked, using relevant examples where at all possible. Don’ts:

- Be afraid to blow your own trumpet a bit. After all, nobody else is going to blow it for you. Do not lie or exaggerate. If you want the job, be enthusiastic and positive.

- Be over-familiar or share too much information. For example, the interviewers don‟t want to know how you‟re going to manage your childcare.

Triple-negative breast cancer is an aggressive disease that presents an enormous clinical challenge. Its biology is less well understood compared with many other cancers and there is an urgent need for new prognostic tools and treatments. Now, a new study suggests screening patients for the prolactin receptor may offer a step forward.

The study is the work of researchers at McGill University in Canada, who report their findings in the journal Scientific Reports.

A diagnosis of triple-negative breast cancer means the tumor lacks the three most common types of receptor known to drive most breast cancer growth. These receptors are: estrogen receptors, progesterone receptors, and human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2).

Around 15 percent of breast cancer is triple-negative.

Unfortunately, it is typically associated with a high rate of recurrence and poor patient outcome.

Suhad Ali, associate professor of medicine and senior author of the new study, explains that triple-negative breast cancer is very difficult to treat. Compared with other types of breast cancer, targeted treatment options are limited and patients often have to undergo invasive chemotherapy and have a poor prognosis.

Studies that have probed the biology of triple-negative breast cancer suggest it is not one disease but a range of diverse cancers that behave differently in different patients. For example, a study published in 2011 that used gene expression profiles suggested there are at least six subgroups of triple-negative breast cancer. (…)

Brazilian doctors use fish skin to treat burn victims

Researchers in Brazil are experimenting with a new treatment for severe burns using the skin of tilapia fish, an unorthodox procedure they say can ease the pain of victims and cut medical costs. Frozen pig skin and even human tissue have long been placed on burns to keep them moist and allow the transfer of collagen, a protein that promotes healing.

Brazil’s public hospitals, however, lack human and pig skin supplies and the artificial alternatives easily available in Western countries. Instead, gauze bandage, which needs regular changing – often painfully – is the norm. Tilapia is abundant in Brazil’s rivers and fish farms, which are expanding rapidly as demand grows for the mildly flavored freshwater fish.

Scientists at the Federal University of Ceara in northern Brazil have found that tilapia skin has moisture, collagen and disease resistance at levels comparable to human skin, and can aid in healing. In China, researchers have tested tilapia skin on rodents to study its healing properties, but scientists in Brazil say their trials are the first on humans.

“The use of tilapia skin on burns is unprecedented,” said Odorico de Morais, a professor at Ceara University. “The fish skin is usually thrown away, so we are using this product to convert it into something of social benefit.” The tilapia treatment can speed up healing by several days and reduces the need for pain medication, the Brazilian researchers say

The fish skin has high levels of collagen type 1, stays moist longer than gauze, and does not need to be changed frequently. Morais said that the tilapia skin treatment costs 75 percent less than the sulfadiazine cream typically used on burn patients in Brazil, as it is a cheap fish-farming waste product. The researchers hope the treatment will prove commercially viable and encourage businesses to process tilapia skin for medical use.

AsK Annie! End of the line?

-My job´s getting me down more and more every day! I spend more time at the office than I do at home and I have less time to spend with my family and friends. Of all the people I know. I`m the one who works the most hours and I`m also the one who has the fewest holidays! And now my boss has asked me to work on Saturdays as well! I`m already doing more than I want to, but if I say no, I`II lose my job. What should I do?

Brad

- Try talking to your boss. Maybe you can negociate to work fewer hours during the week? Or get more holidays to make up for the extra work? If your boss won`t listen to sense, then you need to decide what matters most to you, your job or your personal life.
