"Overfishing: Killer of the Oceans"
1) Overfishing poses a serious threat to the global economy as many nations rely heavily on commercial fishing for food and income. Without limits on catch amounts, fish populations are declining rapidly which will be disastrous financially.
2) It also endangers ocean ecosystems as removing too many fish upsets the natural balance, causing other species' populations to crash from lack of food.
3) Additionally, the vast numbers of fish killed by overfishing raises ethical concerns about the inhumane treatment of ocean life.
Moderated online social networking for smokers: Content of first posts from 2...
The document summarizes a study that analyzed the content of first posts from 2,562 members of an online social network for smokers called StopSmokingCenter.net. It found that 15% of registered members made at least one post. Most posters were recent quitters seeking support, and they posted quickly after registering. Replies usually came within an hour and mainly provided encouragement or advice from other members who had quit for at least a month. The study provided insights but had limitations like an unknown true denominator and lack of data on quit rates between posters and non-posters.
The Nervous System Brain Diseases
The document discusses several types of nervous system disorders including delirium, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, vascular dementia, frontotemporal dementia, dementia with Lewy bodies, and brain cancer. Delirium causes changes in cognition and perception and is often caused by medical conditions or drugs. Dementia is an ongoing decline in thinking, memory, and judgment, with Alzheimer's being the most common type. Brain cancer can be primary tumors originating in the brain or metastatic tumors spreading from other areas; symptoms include headaches and changes in mental functioning.
Time Management
The document discusses time management. It begins by listing the objectives of a time management course, which include explaining various time management concepts, principles, styles, tools and best practices. It then introduces a scenario of Dave, a project manager, struggling with poor time management as he is constantly late, disorganized and unable to complete tasks on time. The root cause of all of Dave's issues is determined to be a lack of proper time management. Effective time management is important for anyone, whether a student, professional or homemaker, to stay organized and productive while managing their various responsibilities.

Multiple Sclerosis is a disease that affects the central nervous system. It can cause symptoms such as vision problems, muscle weakness, and numbness. The exact cause is unknown but it is believed to be an immune system disorder. There is no cure for MS but treatments can help manage symptoms and reduce relapses. Lifestyle factors like exercise and diet may also help support overall health and wellness for those living with MS.
Cystic fibrosis
Cystic Fibrosis is a life-threatening genetic disease that affects the lungs and digestive system of about 30,000 Americans. It is caused by a defective gene that disrupts salt and water balance in the body. Common symptoms include salty skin, poor growth, breathing problems, and clubbed fingers. Treatment involves antibiotics, airway clearance techniques like chest percussion, and sometimes lung transplantation.
Pro-anorexia websites pose public health challenge
Pro-ana websites that promote anorexia as a lifestyle choice have emerged online in recent years. These sites provide tips to lose weight and hide weight loss, as well as thinspiration photos that some see as encouragement for further weight loss. About a third of eating disorder patients have used these sites, and they could induce or prolong eating disorders. While censorship seems a logical response, these websites are difficult to regulate due to their global online nature. Instead, education efforts aim to increase awareness of eating disorders and promote compassion, though traditional campaigns risk further publicity of the pro-ana sites. Overall solutions require addressing the underlying societal issues that make these sites an appealing refuge for some with anorexia.

This document provides an overview and summary of findings from the Global Tobacco Surveillance System (GTSS). The GTSS monitors tobacco use trends globally through surveys like the Global Youth Tobacco Survey (GYTS), Global School Personnel Survey (GSPS), Global Health Professions Student Survey (GHPSS), and Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS). It finds high rates of tobacco use among youth and wide regional variations. For example, the GYTS finds cigarette smoking among boys ranges from 14% in Africa to 21% in the Western Pacific region. The atlas aims to illustrate GTSS findings to inform tobacco control policies and interventions.

Goal and Objectives
To reduce smoking of tobacco by all Gannon students and employees as well as prevent smoking initiation.
Objective One: Reduce the number of students who smoke on campus by 35 percent by December, 2018.
Objective Two: 50% of employees who currently smoke will quit by April 2019.
Objective Three: 25% of smokers will have participated in the Smoking Cessation program by September, 2018.
Situation Analysis: Smoking Facts
Important Definitions:
Tobacco: Tobacco is a green, leafy plant that is grown in warm climates. After it is picked, it is dried, ground up, and used in different ways. It can be smoked in a cigarette, pipe, or cigar. It can be chewed (called smokeless tobacco or chewing tobacco) or sniffed through the nose (called snuff).
Nicotine: it is the chemical that makes tobacco addictive or habit forming. Once we smoke, chew, or sniff tobacco, nicotine goes into our bloodstream, and our body wants more. The nicotine in tobacco makes it a drug. This means that when we use tobacco, it changes our body in some way. Nicotine is a stimulant, it speeds up the nervous system, so we feel like we have more energy. It also makes the heart beat faster and raises blood pressure.
E-cigarettes: electronic cigarettes are battery-powered smoking devices often designed to look and feel like regular cigarettes. They use cartridges filled with a liquid into a vapor, which the person inhales. That is why using e-cigarettes is known as “vaping”.
Hookah: a single, multi-stemmed instrument for vaporizing and smoking flavored tobacco, or sometimes cannabis, whose vapor or smoke is passed through a water basin- often glass-based-before inhalation.
Smoke-free: an environment in which no people are smoking, or in which smoking is not permitted. The said environment does not emit or contain smoke.
Prevalence of Smoking
Prevalence of cigarette smoking has dropped to 17% nationally. In PA, 22% of adults smoke cigarettes. In Erie County, prevalence of cigarette smoking is higher- 27%. Men are more likely to smoke (32%) compared to females (22%) (Erie county community health needs assessment, 2015).
Higher rates of smoking are associated with lower annual incomes (38% of those who make less than 25K in Erie County) and less education (37% of those with less than a high school education vs 9% of those with a.
Stem cells!
Stem cells can come from embryonic or adult sources. Embryonic stem cells are more versatile but their use is controversial due to ethical concerns. Adult stem cells are more limited in their abilities but do not pose the same ethical issues. While stem cells show promise for new medical treatments, more research is still needed to overcome obstacles like rejection by the immune system.
