The village of Bukit Lawang in Indonesia generated income from tourism by allowing visitors to observe orangutans. However, illegal logging upstream increased flood risks, which were passed onto the village. In 2003, a flash flood destroyed Bukit Lawang after heavy rains swept felled trees downstream. While some sought greater profits from illegal logging, it created risks for the village that relied on low-risk tourism. Effective law enforcement is needed to disperse risks from illegal activities to ordinary citizens.
TELLING ABOUT YOURSELF - LISTENING MATERIAL FOR ICT CLASSMusfera Nara Vadia
The document lists the names of 6 people in Group 1: Musfera Nara, Vadia, Nur Ainun Siregar, Wafiq Aziza, Wuri, and Yulitrinisya. It then provides a series of questions about introducing oneself and getting to know others, such as how to tell others about yourself, when to introduce yourself, and what kinds of questions to ask when meeting someone for the first time. The document also includes a reading passage and 5 multiple choice comprehension questions about the passage, covering details like where the conversation took place, the girl's name, where she lives now, her father's profession, and something not mentioned about her family.
The 2008 melamine scandal in China, where contaminated baby formula killed infants, led to increased demand for formula in Hong Kong from Chinese buyers. As Chinese consumers lost trust in domestic brands, they sought alternatives in Hong Kong where international brands were readily available. This caused shortages and overcrowding as demand outstripped supply. The Hong Kong government imposed restrictions in 2013 to limit parallel imports to China and restore local availability, though calls remain to remove the restrictions.
The document outlines a training plan to avoid HIPAA violations like those that occurred at UCLA Hospital. It proposes launching an Ethics Code team of diverse staff who meet monthly to ensure compliance and address issues. All new hires would attend an orientation reviewing ethics policies and complete paperwork. Ongoing monthly trainings would use web 2.0 tools like VoiceThread, Articulate, and SlideShare to provide convenient mobile learning. Exams after each session would ensure understanding, and ideas/concerns could be shared anonymously. The goal is zero tolerance for noncompliance through continued education of all staff.
Health information portability and accountability (hipaa)kristinleighclark
The document provides an overview of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and its requirements for protecting patient health information. HIPAA was enacted to improve health insurance coverage and reduce fraud and waste. It protects all identifiable patient health records, including names, dates of birth, diagnoses, and test results. HIPAA mandates administrative safeguards for privacy, including access controls, security training, and protocols for handling security incidents and terminated employees. Non-compliance can result in civil and criminal penalties up to $250,000 and 10 years in prison. The presentation emphasizes the importance of training and teamwork to prevent HIPAA violations.

This document discusses forest management in the Peruvian Amazon and some of the challenges involved. 60% of Peru's territory is Amazonian forest, home to native groups with traditional knowledge of medicinal plants, fruits, fish, and timber. However, economic development through activities like gas extraction, agriculture, oil exploitation, timber, gold mining, and more have put pressure on the forest. Sustainable models of forest management are needed that balance economic needs with protection. Without changes, continued unsustainable practices could lead to a 4°C increase in global temperatures, severely reducing biodiversity and resources in Latin America.
The document describes where the author is from through a series of brief statements about their parents, house, flowers, friends, religion, location, and childhood experiences. They state they are from their parents, the house on the left, tulip flowers, their Hindu and blue-eyed friends Gibby, Brett and Trent, God and Jesus, Virginia, exploring the woods with their mom, and the house on the corner.
This document discusses learning consumer behavior theory through a Coursera course. It recommends breaking the material into weekly "chunks" and relating it to your own consumer experiences. Writing your own examples and questions is emphasized over highlighting text. Working with classmates through discussion and sharing ideas is presented as an effective way to ensure you truly understand and can explain the concepts to others.

The Sydney Harbour Bridge is presented as a cultural relic of Australia. Built from 1923 to 1932, it is an iconic landmark that is 1,149 meters long and carries eight lanes of traffic, rail lines, and pedestrian and cycling paths across Sydney Harbour. As a relic, it requires ongoing maintenance and is central to cultural events and activities for Sydney, playing a key role in their New Year's Eve celebrations. The bridge occupies an important place in the hearts and minds of Australians.
This document discusses security issues related to health information systems. It notes that as more patient data is stored electronically, ensuring privacy and security of electronic health records is important. The document outlines advantages of electronic health records like providing complete patient histories, but also disadvantages such as privacy and confidentiality concerns. It discusses laws like HIPAA that are meant to protect patient privacy and discusses methods used to increase security, such as encryption, authentication, and educating staff.
The Great Green Wall is a climate change initiative involving 11 African nations to halt the spread of the Sahara Desert. It originally envisioned a line of trees across Africa but now focuses on sustainable land use. The project aims to reduce desertification, support communities, and increase resilience to climate change through practices like assisted tree regeneration. While early efforts in Senegal show promise, some question if top-down tree planting can succeed at the needed scale or whether natural regeneration is better.
