Diabetes Presentation

Diabetes Presentation Date: 6th - January - 2013

Hamdan's Presentation Observation

Hamdan Kareem Al Nuaimi, H00230913 Date: 8th- January -2013 Venue: W104 Time: 11:15 Hamdan Kareem did a presentation about “Global Warming” in W104 class in 8th-1-2013. His presentation was beautiful and organized; I liked it and it was interesting. At the beginning he talked about the definition of global warming. His introduction was full of information but then the presentation became boring because of his way of presentation. His voice was boring for the listeners and at the same level. Hamdan was confusedly confounded in his presentation, and he didn’t have knowledge about the topic. Global warming is a global problem, but Hamdan didn’t make the topic interesting. Actually he was depending on some notes when he presented; that showed us Hamdan wasn’t ready for the presentation. Overall, the presentation was exciting at the beginning but after that there were a decline in the quality of presentation. Hamdan had many problems in the presentation, like he brought some information without telling us the source. In conclusion, Hamdan needs to practice more and more on the principles of the presenting to be better in the future. Also he should care more about his topic.

Presentation Observation

Presentation Observation Tuesday, 27 November 2012 Ahmed Nasser Ali Saeed, H00234785 Date: 13th November 2012 Venue: W104 Time: 10:30 Ahmed started the presentation by introducing himself and his topic. He introduced his topic very well; he talked about the topic and the outcomes inside. Ahmed’s eyes were only in contact with Hedley and some students not at all, so he will lose the other students concentration. Ahmed sometimes stood in front of the screen so he covered the screen, but he also sometimes stood beside it to explain something on the screen. Ahmed didn’t use the note paper for his presentation; he remembered his sentences but Ahmed got some kinds of information like numbers from the screen. Ahmed’s voice was clear to us but his voice was rather boring because he doesn’t change the volume of his voice. Ahmed always smiles to our faces in his presentation. The presentation was beautiful and organized well; the slides had a connection with the topic and the pictures were wonderful. The text size was perfect for us to read and to keep the presentation organized. I like his presentation and I want to visit Spain in the future.

Hamed Khalid opened the meeting with an introduction:  “Good moorning gentlemen; in this meeting we are going to discuss car accidents in Abu Dhabi in 2011-2012. In attendance we have Khalid Al Zaabi -the Head of Police , Hamdan Kareem – the chief off Road Accidents Department, Mubarak Salem – Manager of Emirates Driving Institute- and me, Hamed Khalid - the secretary of the head of police. First we will start with the number of car accidents with Hamden Kareem”.

 

Hamdan Kareem handed out some sheets:” Hello gentlemen, statistics of car accidents and their causes are shown in this histogram in 2011-2012 and separated into 3 groups. The first group is accidents that occurred in January to April. As you can see speeding and ignoring traffic rules are the major causes of accidents with the total number above 8000 accidents. According to records, no accidents were caused from poor road quality. In the second group which was in summer vacation, it was observed that most of the accidents were in the highway roads and they fall in 3 major points, speeding, poor car maintenance and poor road maintenance. In the last group Sept-Dec, The police patrols and Saaed records showed a lot of surprising facts; most of the accidents could be avoided if the drivers were obeying traffic rules”.

 


 

An example of poor road maintenance danger was given by Khalid: “I was driving my car last Friday at 11:00pm near my home and there was a hole in the street which couldn't be seen clearly at that moment and I almost lost control but fortunately I was driving around 35km/h”.

Another example was given by Hamed: Our own family driver tried to reach  his destination on time by driving on the road shoulder, so he was caught by police and the car was impounded for 30 days with 6 black points and a 600 Dhr fine”.  

 

Several questions were asked by Mr. Hedley about these situations and why do people put their own lives in danger!

Hamdan said:” a survey was done and the results were:

1-      46% said to not get late at work.

2-      29% said to avoid traffic.

3-      14% said they like to drive fast!

4-      11% others

 

Chairman of the meeting Khalid moved on to the results of accidents:” Our nation has lost a lot of future builders in these accidents . In the second sheet you can have a look at number of lost souls in last year separated into 3 groups depending on their ages and the causes of death:

1-      A total of 124 persons passed away because of speeding; mostly were between 15 and 30.

2-      A total of 75 persons passed away because of poor car maintenance, mainly between 31 and 45.

3-      A total of 118 persons passed away because of careless driving especially between 15 and 30.

4-      A total of 102 persons passed away because of ignoring traffic rules.

5-      A total of 90 persons passed away because of poor road maintenance .

 



 

                         

     

              The main reason that I have arranged this meeting is to reduce the number of car accidents and to improve our society and provide a safe environment for others drivers.

 

 Mubarak Salem introduced himself and said:” We can’t imagine a happy life while a lot of families and victims are suffering in these situations. According to experts’ research, the points that I’m going to offer them now helped a lot to reduce accidents around the world. The first point is…

 

1-      Increase the number of awareness campaigns and do them in different languages.

2-       Increase the amount of fines.

3-      Rewards for ideal driving which is a good motivation.

4-      Increase the number of police patrols so they can take faster action.
