Epilepsy Care Group Singapore Awareness Association: Support group gets funding for first epilepsy nurse in 20 years


GAINING SUPPORT: Orange Neurology Centre's Tracey Gough with practice manager and support group president Bec Alpen at an epilepsy awareness stall.

For the first time in more than 20 years Orange could get an epilepsy support nurse.
Epilepsy Support Group Central West president Bec Alpen said the support group formed in March and has been given funding to hire an epilepsy nurse.

“We’ve got $10,000 from Orange Ex-Services Club at $3000 from Orange City Council,” Mrs Alpen said.

“We will start with once a month for a nurse to start and then that will go to fortnightly and then hopefully we will make it weekly … it will also depend on the need.

“We have a Parkinsons nurse that got installed in the last few years and I saw what benefits came from that.

“I’ve had a lot of patients come to me and say there’s just nothing [in terms of support].”

Mrs Alpen said the funding applications were made months ago but they only found out more recently about the funding.

However, she said it may be months before a nurse is employed in the role.
She said first the Epilepsy Support Group – Central West first needs to be formalised.
Once employed, the nurse will provide information and support to patients and carers living with epilepsy and to provide education to parents and carers as well as the wider community.

Mrs Alpen said people living with epilepsy could also go to the nurse if they were having issues with their medication.

In the meantime Mrs Alpen said she is trying to raise people’s awareness about epilepsy and said due to preconceived misconceptions about epilepsy many people do not want to tell others about their diagnosis.

“They don’t know how people will react,” she said.

“People are frightened so we need to [overcome] that stigma, there’s 800,000 people per year in Australia who are diagnosed with epilepsy and there are 40 different types.
“When people see a person having a seizure they don’t know what to do.”

Mrs Alpen said she has previously visited a shopping centre in Orange and saw a client having a seizure and instead of helping them, other customers gave them a wide berth and walked away from the person having the seizure.

She said along with convulsive seizures there’s a wide range of types, severity and symptoms of epilepsy including focal seizures, confusion and becoming unaware of the world around them.

Tips on what to do if you see someone having a seizure:

-Convulsive seizures – DO

-Stay with the person

-Time seizure

-Protect from injury especially the head

-Roll onto the side after jerking stops OR immediately if there is food/fluid/vomit in mouth

-Observe and monitor breathing

-Gently reassure until recovered

Convulsive seizures – DO NOT

-Put anything in the person’s mouth

-Restrain the person

-Move the person unless in danger

Focal dyscognitive seizures (non-convulsive seizures)

-Stay with the person

-Time the seizure

-Gently guide away from harm

-Reassure until recovered

-DO NOT restrain the person unless in danger

Call triple zero for an ambulance IF:

-You are in any doubt

-Injury has occurred

-There is food/fluid/vomit in mouth

-Seizure occurs in water

-Person has breathing difficulties after jerking stops

-Another seizure quickly follows

-Seizure lasts longer than five minutes

-The person is non-responsive for more than five minutes after the seizure ends.

Cyber Security: No more IP addresses for countries that shut down internet access

Afrinic mulls punitive policy for errant governments


Governments that cut off internet access to their citizens could find themselves refused new IP addresses under a proposal put through one of the five global IP allocation organizations.

The suggested clampdown will be considered at the next meeting of internet registry Afrinic in Kenya in June: Afrinic is in charge of managing and allocating IP address blocks across Africa.

Under the proposal, a new section would be added to Afrinic's official rules that would allow the organization to refuse to hand over any new IP address to a country for 12 months if it is found to have ordered an internet shutdown.

The ban would cover all government-owned entities and others that have a "direct provable relationship with said government." It would also cover any transfer of address space to those entities from others.

That withdrawal of services would escalate if the country continued to pull the plug on internet access. Under the proposal: "In the event of a government performing three or more such shutdowns in a period of 10 years – all resources to the aforementioned entities shall be revoked and no allocations to said entities shall occur for a period of 5 years."

The proposal was sparked by a recent increase in the number of complete nationwide shutdowns of internet service – something that has been a cause of increasing concern and ire within the internet infrastructure community.

The start

The trend started during the Egyptian revolution back in 2011 when authorities killed the entire's country web access prior to a big protest march. Employees of ISPs and mobile phone companies reported troops turning up at their homes and pointing guns at their families in order to enforce the shutdown.

Until then, many governments had assumed it was largely impossible to turn off internet access to their entire nation. Soon after, government departments educated themselves about AS numbers and internet routing and started using their power to set up systems that would allow them to order the shutdown of all networks from a central point.

While some countries only used this ability in the more dire circumstances – riots or terrorist attacks – shutdowns quickly started being used preemptively and for political reasons.

Bangladesh switched off its entire country's net connectivity prior to the sentencing of former government leaders for war crimes. Then Iraq started shutting down the entire country for several hours at a time in order to prevent exam cheating.

While these were enormously frustrating, the shutdown typically lasted only a few hours. But then Cameroon decided to cut off the internet for weeks – and targeted specific communities. The country's southwest and northwest provinces were taken offline following violent protests: a decision that had a hugely damaging impact on its "Silicon Mountain" startup zone, and also took down its banks and ATMs.

In India, the number and frequency of internet shutdowns has sparked a new protest movement and website that tracks them.

The situation has grown so dire that the United Nations got involved and officially condemned the practice at a meeting of the Human Rights Council back in July. Despite opposition from a number of countries – including China, Russia, India and Kenya – a resolution passed forbidding mass web blockades.

Plan

The reality, however, is that there is nothing to prevent governments from shutting down the internet and very little anyone can do in the face of a determined push from the authorities.

But now the techies are fighting back. The Afrinic proposal has been put forward by the CTO and the Head of IP strategy for Liquid Telecommunications – a large pan-African ISP – as well as the CEO of Kenya's main ISP Association. As such it is a proposal that many are taking seriously.

"While the authors of this policy acknowledge that what is proposed is draconian in nature, we feel that the time has come for action to be taken, rather than just bland statements that have shown to have little or no effect," they wrote, noting that "over the last few years we have seen more and more governments shutting down the free and open access to the internet in order to push political and other agendas."

Whether governments like it or not, they are reliant on the provision of IP address to expand their networks and digital economy, and Afrinic is the only organization that can realistically provide them. If the policy does get passed, it would almost certainly act as a strong deterrent for government ministers to shutting down internet access.

But there is a wealth of problems with the idea, not least of which would be the determination of what represents an internet shutdown. The authors put forward a suggested definition:

An internet shutdown is deemed to have occurred when it can be proved that there was an attempt, failed or successful, to restrict access to the internet to a segment of the population irrespective of the provider or access medium that they utilize.

That wording is likely to be very heavily scrutinized. And it would require someone or group to make a determination that it has happened – which would likely become a politically charged decision. And none of that considers the fact that national leaders are unlikely to accept punitive terms being placed against them by a third party.

In short, it is a huge political headache. But it may also be one that only the internet community is capable to taking on and winning. The next few months will see whether the 'net community in Africa is willing to take on the challenge for the greater good.
