The ELIMINATE Project aims to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus by immunizing over 100 million mothers and their babies with vaccines provided by Kiwanis International and UNICEF. This deadly disease kills nearly 60,000 newborns and women each year through painful convulsions and extreme sensitivity in tiny newborns. Reaching the most neglected families will require $110 million to fund vaccines, medical staff, transportation and additional healthcare services to end this preventable disease and improve community health.
Unicef
Unicef received $2.8 billion in funding in 2018, with two thirds coming from governments and $781 million from private groups and 6 million individuals. Unicef provides child immunizations and vaccinations to over half the world's children, access to drinking water for over 1.8 billion people, distributed 19 million anti-malaria shots in 2008, and provides food to prevent malnutrition.

ELCA Malaria Campaign for Cardia Deo
The document provides information about malaria, including its transmission, symptoms, impact, and efforts to prevent and treat it. It discusses how malaria kills hundreds of thousands each year in Africa, particularly children, and the economic costs. It outlines the goals and activities of the ELCA Malaria Campaign to raise $15 million by 2015 to support prevention, treatment, and education efforts through Lutheran churches and organizations in 11 African countries. Key interventions discussed are insecticide-treated bed nets, indoor spraying, and preventive treatment for pregnant women. Progress in reducing malaria is highlighted, but more work remains to be done to control and eliminate this preventable and treatable disease.
Jon Kaplan - NEWS RELEASE - GreenMark PR -2013
Clarke mosquito nets helped eliminate lymphatic filariasis, a mosquito-borne disease, in two Nigerian states. With support from Clarke, The Carter Center, and other organizations, Plateau and Nasarawa states achieved the milestone of stopping disease transmission through public education, preventive measures like distributing Clarke's long-lasting insecticidal nets, and mass drug treatment. This success could help eliminate lymphatic filariasis globally since Nigeria is highly endemic for the disease.
Fighting malaria in malawi
Malaria is a major public health concern in Malawi, especially among pregnant women and children under 5. It is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the country, accounting for one-third of outpatient visits. The government and organizations like USAID and PMI are working to reduce the burden of malaria through initiatives like indoor residual spraying, distribution of long-lasting insecticide treated bed nets, and improved access to artemisinin-based combination therapy. These efforts have led to a 44% reduction in anemia rates among children in some areas. However, more funding is still needed to fully address the issue of malaria in one of the poorest countries in the world.
Immunizations_MagazineAm Final
The document discusses efforts to close the immunization gap and fully immunize children worldwide against preventable diseases. It notes that while vaccines have immunized 80% of children globally, 20% remain unprotected. In the 1980s, UNICEF and partners launched a major drive to vaccinate children in developing countries, increasing coverage from 20% to 80%. However, over 6 million children still die each year from preventable causes. The document outlines strategies to achieve vaccine coverage targets and end epidemics by 2030, noting that taking vaccines to remote, marginalized communities is key to closing the immunization gap.
Enhancement of health
This document discusses malaria facts, effects, actions taken to address it, and challenges faced. It notes that in 2008, 247 million malaria cases and 655,000 deaths occurred, mostly in African children under 5. Malaria causes 20% of childhood deaths in Africa and claims thousands of lives in Brazil yearly. Young children, pregnant women, and those with HIV/AIDS are most at risk. Organizations working to reduce malaria include USAID, RBM, WHO, UNICEF, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which invests in research despite facing financial challenges to deliver vaccines and medicine.
The Dormant Threat Of Smallpox
The document discusses the history and threat of smallpox. It caused major outbreaks for centuries until being eradicated in 1980. However, concerns remain about its potential use for bioterrorism given its high contagiousness and lethality. The smallpox vaccine played a key role in eradicating the disease, but controversies remain over mandatory vaccination policies. Any new outbreaks could have major public health impacts given most populations no longer have immunity.
Pandemics Week 3 Presentation Summary 1 D
Malaria remains a serious global health issue, infecting over 350 million people annually and killing over 1 million people, most in Africa. It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. While some cases still occur in the United States, transmitted by two mosquito species, the largest burden is in developing countries where poor, vulnerable groups like children and pregnant women are most at risk due to limited access to prevention and treatment. Proper use of insecticide-treated bed nets and antimalarial drugs can effectively reduce transmission and save lives.

A Review on International Donor Agencies and the Control of Malaria in Nigeri...
The study has examined the role of International Donor Agencies in the control of malaria in
Nigeria. The study becomes necessary because of the increase in cases of malaria and high rate of infant
mortality in the country. The role of donor agencies, national and state ministries of health is very important in
reducing these challenges in Nigeria. The study reviewed available secondary information sources. The study
revealed that the role of International donor agencies includes supporting the State Governments with funds,
provision of free mosquito treated nets, provision of subsidized drugs, provision of vaccines for childhood killer
diseases etc. Some of the challenge affecting donor agencies includes diversion of funds of by relevant bodies
for personal use, lack of political will to implement programme, cultural and religious beliefs about sickness and
illness etc. Based on these, some recommendations were made on the fights against malaria which includes
improved funding by government, zero tolerance to corruption, recruitment of more health personnel,
establishments of more primary health centres especially in the rural areas.

Rice is the main crop grown through subsistence farming in India. Rice growing requires a warm, wet climate with heavy rainfall during the monsoon season and temperatures above 24°C year-round. These small, family-run farms have very small field sizes, use little technology, and require significant manual labor. Soil bunds and a nearby water source are also needed to retain water in the flooded rice paddies.
Mt St Helens
Mount St. Helens is a large volcanic cone that erupted on May 18, 1980, causing massive destruction. The eruption triggered an earthquake that collapsed the north side of the mountain in a massive debris avalanche. This was followed by a pyroclastic flow that flattened vegetation over 600 square kilometers and released over 1.5 million metric tons of sulfur dioxide. Lahars, or volcanic mudflows, formed from the collapse debris and flowed over 27 kilometers, destroying bridges and camps. The eruption killed 57 people and over 7,000 animals and destroyed over 200 homes and damaged highways and railways.
Early Neolithic 2013
Long barrows were ancient communal tombs built as elongated mounds of earth or chalk covering a wooden or stone chamber. Burials took place over 3-4 generations or a decade. Over 300 have been found concentrated in Wessex and the Cotswolds. They were often built on prominent hills away from settlements and may have served as territorial markers and burial chambers. Initial excavations show long barrows were built resembling Neolithic longhouses, with human remains added to and removed from the structures over centuries as part of ancestral rites and fertility ceremonies.
Nitte 2013
This document outlines Nitte's travel itinerary and plans for a trip from Glasgow, Scotland to Mangalore, India from November 19th to November 20th. It provides details of the flights from Glasgow to London to Bengaluru to Mangalore on those dates. It also includes information about money, medicines, and etiquette for the trip to India.
Seahenge
Seahenge was an archaeological discovery made in 1998 off the Norfolk coast in England. It consisted of a circle of vertically embedded wooden planks surrounding a large inverted oak tree stump in the center, dating back to around 2020 BC. Its purpose is unknown but theories suggest it may have been used as an inverted oak stump-altar, an excarnation platform, or as a symbolic location marking the boundary between two worlds. The timbers are currently held by the archaeologist who discovered Seahenge.
Transitions
Regional variations in burial practices emerged in Neolithic Britain, with long barrows common in southern England and stone chambers in western Britain. Burial mounds were often located prominently overlooking settlements. Collective burials containing disarticulated remains suggested excarnation. Later, megalithic tombs with stone passages and chambers covered by mounds appeared in Ireland, Wales, Scotland. Beaker burials around 4700 years ago featured crouched inhumations under round barrows. Wealthier Bronze Age burials from around 4200 years ago contained continental-style grave goods indicating a warrior elite.
Geography charity project
This document discusses the charity "Women and Children First" which focuses on saving lives of mothers and babies in developing countries. The charity works to help millions of women have successful births and healthy children. Donating money can pay for women's health groups, training for community workers, and lifesaving medical care for mothers and newborns. Stories are shared of women like Archana and Ram Maya who benefited from the charity's work and were able to save their babies.
Exam Preparation
The document discusses surveying and recording techniques illustrated in Figure 1. Photography is mentioned as one technique, as photographs provide an exact illustration of the site and scale can be added using a ranging rod. Measurements of the site can also be taken using a total station to obtain exact measurements. Drawings, like the one shown in Figure 1, allow for color interpretation but are more time-consuming and depend on the artist's skill.
Sustainable development ppt
This document discusses the concept of sustainability and related terms. It begins by defining resources and explaining how population growth impacts resource use. It then defines sustainable development as meeting present needs without compromising future generations' ability to meet their own needs. Several examples are provided to illustrate sustainability challenges around the world with resources like soil, forests, water, minerals and fossil fuels. The document emphasizes thinking globally about interconnected environmental impacts and acting locally through individual and community actions.
Star Carr and the Mesolithic
Life in Britain after the Ice Age
The document summarizes life in Britain during the Mesolithic period (Middle Stone Age) based on evidence from the important archaeological site of Star Carr in North Yorkshire. Star Carr provides insight into how hunter-gatherer societies lived 11,000 years ago at the end of the last ice age, as traces of their settlements and artifacts like tools made of bone, antler, and stone have been preserved in peat bogs at the site. People lived alongside now-extinct ice age animals in woodland areas and left behind remains that give clues about their tools, housing, diet, rituals, and mobility between locations over time as climate and environments changed. Star Carr remains a key site for
Richard 3
On average, an excavator can excavate, record, and lift 2 skeletons per day under good conditions. Once excavated, skeletons are systematically bagged by anatomical area to facilitate processing. An osteoarchaeologist determines if fragile remains require block lifting or individual bone lifting. Prior to removal, human remains are fully recorded in situ to document their context. DNA will be extracted from the bones found in Leicester and tested against Richard III's descendants to confirm the remains' identity.
Geophys
A total station is an electronic instrument used in modern surveying that combines an electronic theodolite and distance meter. The total station can measure slope distances from the instrument to a particular point electronically. It is an integrated electronic theodolite and distance meter for surveying tasks.
Palaeolithic key points -In Prep.
The Palaeolithic period coincided with the last Ice Age and was characterized by hunter-gatherer communities with little permanent settlement who lived in caves and created isolated finds. These communities developed increasingly complex stone technologies including bows and arrows, bolas, nets and the domestication of dogs. Evidence also exists of Palaeolithic artwork, cave art, religion and ritual. Social organization consisted of small, nomadic and egalitarian bands that were likely similar to some modern hunter-gatherer communities, with a primitive form of communism where resources were shared and skills were similar across members. Ritual and religious practices such as shamanism also appeared to be part of their culture.
Mesolithic
The document summarizes archaeological findings from a Neolithic site in Denmark dated to around 5000 BC. Remains of both cremated and inhumated individuals, including infants and adults, were found in pits and single and double graves. A dog burial was also discovered. In one double grave, a 40-year-old woman and 3-year-old child were buried together. Evidence of violence was seen on some of the skeletons. Red ochre and amulet beads were placed with the dead. One woman showed signs of a healed head injury, possibly caused by a blunt object.
Introduction: some key thinkers in 20th Anthropology
The document discusses several concepts related to cultural patterns and structures. It states that underlying every culture is a deep structure or essence that governs its cultural productions, even if people are unaware of it. It also discusses how Jewish kosher laws were intended to help Jews maintain a distinct existence and prevent socialization with non-Jews. Additionally, it notes that all human thought is governed by fundamental oppositions, but that each culture selects a unique set of oppositions. Myths are also described as a way for cultures to conceptualize problems through concrete representations.
British Prehistory-an overview
The document discusses key concepts in archaeology including the study of material remains to understand past human cultures. It covers a wide time period from 40,000 BC to 43 AD and archaeological periods like the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. Specific sites mentioned include Boxgrove which has preserved evidence of early humans, and Cresswell Caves containing stone tools. The document also discusses the Sungir burial site containing well-preserved burials dating to 20,000-28,000 years ago. Approaches to archaeology include traditional descriptive methods as well as theory-based sociological analyses of human culture.
Hochdorf
The document discusses the archaeological site of Hochdorf, Germany, which contains evidence from multiple time periods. A notable discovery was a 550 BC princely grave of a 40-year-old chieftain buried on a bronze couch within a burial mound and stone circle, surrounded by objects possibly used for feasting ceremonies. The site provides insights into cultural and trade networks during the Late Hallstatt period through material remains and burial practices.

Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidade
Novas diretrizes da OMS para os cuidados perinatais de mais qualidadeProf. Marcus Renato de Carvalho
Recomendações da OMS sobre cuidados maternos e neonatais para uma experiência pós-natal positiva.
Em consonância com os ODS – Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável e a Estratégia Global para a Saúde das Mulheres, Crianças e Adolescentes, e aplicando uma abordagem baseada nos direitos humanos, os esforços de cuidados pós-natais devem expandir-se para além da cobertura e da simples sobrevivência, de modo a incluir cuidados de qualidade.
Estas diretrizes visam melhorar a qualidade dos cuidados pós-natais essenciais e de rotina prestados às mulheres e aos recém-nascidos, com o objetivo final de melhorar a saúde e o bem-estar materno e neonatal.
Uma “experiência pós-natal positiva” é um resultado importante para todas as mulheres que dão à luz e para os seus recém-nascidos, estabelecendo as bases para a melhoria da saúde e do bem-estar a curto e longo prazo. Uma experiência pós-natal positiva é definida como aquela em que as mulheres, pessoas que gestam, os recém-nascidos, os casais, os pais, os cuidadores e as famílias recebem informação consistente, garantia e apoio de profissionais de saúde motivados; e onde um sistema de saúde flexível e com recursos reconheça as necessidades das mulheres e dos bebês e respeite o seu contexto cultural.
Estas diretrizes consolidadas apresentam algumas recomendações novas e já bem fundamentadas sobre cuidados pós-natais de rotina para mulheres e neonatos que recebem cuidados no pós-parto em unidades de saúde ou na comunidade, independentemente dos recursos disponíveis.
É fornecido um conjunto abrangente de recomendações para cuidados durante o período puerperal, com ênfase nos cuidados essenciais que todas as mulheres e recém-nascidos devem receber, e com a devida atenção à qualidade dos cuidados; isto é, a entrega e a experiência do cuidado recebido. Estas diretrizes atualizam e ampliam as recomendações da OMS de 2014 sobre cuidados pós-natais da mãe e do recém-nascido e complementam as atuais diretrizes da OMS sobre a gestão de complicações pós-natais.
O estabelecimento da amamentação e o manejo das principais intercorrências é contemplada.
Recomendamos muito.
Vamos discutir essas recomendações no nosso curso de pós-graduação em Aleitamento no Instituto Ciclos.
Esta publicação só está disponível em inglês até o momento.

Against malaria foundation pp
- 1. By Bruce Dickson Ben Bicknell Carl Ramage And Max Rodney
- 2. Against Malaria : The Against Malaria foundation is a charity based in the U.K. that provides long-lasting insecticide nets for countries at high risk of Malaria. They concentrate mainly on Africa
- 3. What is malaria? The people who are affected most by malaria are pregnant woman and children as their immune system is weak. Travellers who have not been vaccinated are also vulnerable to malaria. Malaria is a fully preventable and curable disease
- 4. Millennium development goals The against Malaria Foundation works on 2 important millennium development goals. The first is goal number 4 which is to reduce child mortality. Children are most at risk to malaria so if we bought fifty four nets then we could save a lot of children’s lives. The other millennium development goal that our charity works on is number six combat HIV/Aids, malaria and other diseases.
- 5. What they do... One of their nets can potentially stop two children from being bitten by mosquitoes and contracting malaria. Each net costs £1.80 and will be placed over a bed that two children can sleep in. This will save 109 lives.
- 6. How they do it... They were founded in 2004 and since then they have partnered with other charities such as the international Red Cross and the malaria consortium that help distribute their nets. All the distribution costs are covered by donations from other charities. The charity is supported by over 100 corporations, one of the biggest being Microsoft.
