Modules of Potentiation: praxis and synergy in public health complex emergency interventions Logistical module: Even in cases of forced exodus, suitable logistical arrangements can amend deleterious health outcomes. 86 percent of the world’s inhabitants reside in mobile cellular network covered areas. Research has shown that mobile phones are a viable means of tracking populations fleeing from complex emergencies. Triangulating user receptions can do this, allowing the dissemination of…

Climate change or global warming has been the center of discussion for the past years as it poses detrimental effects on but not limited to the environment and to human activities. As defined by the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), climate change is a change in the state of the climate that can be identified by changes in the mean and/or the variability of its properties, and that persists for an extended period, typically decades or longer; climate change may be due to…

Many people view agriculture as the key to success in human history and that it ultimately led humans to become civilized. In fact, the reasons are plausible. With agriculture present, humans were able to efficiently find food and store crops. Their unoccupied time was used to create marvelous architecture, compose musical masterpieces, and much more that we associate with the unique attributes that separate humans from animals. However, with good follows bad. In Jared Diamond’s article The…

Introduction Climate change, we learn about this in school but is what we are learning helping us understand climate change. We need to understand how it is actually affecting us in a more real world examples. Most people don’t believe in climate change. Their needs to be data and information accessible for people to understand what climate change is and how to fix or slow down the problem. It affects us in many way we don’t think about. I can affect us in the economy, agriculture, plants and…

Monarch Butterfly and Habitat Loss Monarchs might as well be the most advantageous species on the planet considering they help with pollinating plants which produce our crops and provides a food source for birds and small reptiles. However, the number of monarchs is decreasing from habitat loss, climate change, chemical pollutants, poaching/farming, and public awareness. Herbicide is their biggest threat because it kills their main dish, which is milkweed. Remarkably, people from Science…

Agriculture and Water Ashman & Puri (2002) state that water is vital, not only for humans as drinking water but also to plants and animals. Water delivers vital nutrients to plants and is the foundation of our ecosystem (Ashman & Puri, 2002). Furthermore, Feehan (2003) also states that water is vital as water present in our soils, streams and rivers and follow the lie of the land. According to Feehan (2003) a typical farm is a water catchment and the activity of the farmer will affect water…

society, or as a species, we strive to gain power. We gain personal power when we have confidence in ourselves and our ideas, we gain power over others when a political party wins a majority in an election, and we gain power over the rest of the biosphere in our endeavors to conquer and tame the wildlife around us. That being said, when one abuses the power they are given, others suffer. In Toni Morrison’s Beloved, we see the power of white people and slave owners lorded above black people (both…

Nitrogen Dioxide and Carbon Monoxide levels indicate a lot about human activity. Our actions effect the environment in many ways. Instruments such as OMI, MOPITT, and AIRS study the effect of these gases on the climate. The release of NO2 and CO in the atmosphere depends on human activity. Furthermore, these gases have many severe effects on our health. Exposure to these gases can be prevented if proper steps are taken. Ozone Measuring Instrument (OMI) can distinguish between aerosol types,…

Name: Antonio RicoDeLaFuente Purpose : This activity was to identify concepts on cells and to learn more about the functions and reproduction of cells within living organisms. Lab Summary: While doing this activity we experimented with bacterial growth and I was able to witness growth in its replication. Through the process of mitosis, I was able to view cellular reproduction. Lab Answers A. Bacterial growth observation. The population doubling time is estimated to be 20 minute. B.…

lends its hand out to solve these issues from an environmentalist view. However, the one-sided women to nature relationship in ecofeminism should be looked at from a global environmentalist standpoint and consider how the effect humans have on the biosphere is a much more pressing issue. There have been many scientific and technological advancements before us that have impacted the Earth in many positive ways. After all, it is the study of the…
