Heterosexual transmission is the dominant form of HIV transmission in the developing world. Mother-to-child transmission is also more common than in industrialized countries, and can occur through breast milk. Women and children have the highest risk of infection due to factors like anemia during pregnancy and childbirth. The social impacts of AIDS in the developing world include millions of orphaned children by 2000 and increased mortality rates. Environmental impacts occur through increased poverty, food insecurity, and strain on resources from households affected by AIDS. The economic and political impacts are lower labor output, decreased productivity, lower tax revenues, and increased healthcare costs. Abstinence, condoms, and safe medical practices can help reduce transmission when used correctly.

American social protection and welfare 2016
This is part of a series of lectures in American civilization for 1st year students of English. The lectures covers the main issues related to American social and health care programs Under the different administrations.
MY DIGITAL STORY
This document discusses several key issues related to aging, including understanding current social issues as the population ages, rising healthcare costs which account for much government spending on older adults, retirement trends showing people working later in life, concerns around elder abuse, and common concerns around death and dying such as avoiding prolonged suffering and controlling treatment options.
02 economic growth rate,poverty,population density
This document discusses economic growth rate, poverty, and population density. It defines economic growth rate as the percentage change in a country's GDP from one period to another, with or without adjusting for inflation. It describes absolute and relative poverty, and notes that 40% of Pakistan's population lives below the poverty line. It provides population density calculations for Pakistan based on 1998 and 2014 census data, showing an increase from 166.3 people per square km to 236.96 people per square km.
Health inequalities
The document discusses definitions of poverty and health inequalities. It defines poverty as lacking resources to participate in activities that are customary or approved in one's society. Absolute poverty is defined as lacking resources to escape deprivation. Studies show people living in more deprived areas have lower life expectancies. Health inequalities are linked to social conditions, as people with higher socioeconomic status have more opportunities and better health. Reducing education failure, insecurity, unemployment, and improving living standards can help reduce deprivation and create a healthier society.
Hunger at Home
High levels of poverty and hunger in the United States result in significant economic costs across multiple sectors such as education, health, and law enforcement. It reduces economic output by hundreds of billions of dollars annually and costs the public sector over $125 billion per year due to high school dropouts. Providing assistance to reduce the effects of poverty and hunger could save money in the long run. Nutrition programs are cost-effective ways to control rising healthcare costs from issues like obesity that are linked to childhood hunger.

Impact of covid on sdg's
The document summarizes the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on progress toward achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It notes that COVID-19 could push over 1 billion people into extreme poverty by 2030 (SDG 1). The pandemic has also disrupted food systems, increasing hunger and food insecurity (SDG 2). Interrupted healthcare and access to services may lead to hundreds of thousands of additional child and maternal deaths in 2020 (SDG 3). School closures mean 370 million children missing meals and risks to education gains like increased child labor (SDG 4). The crisis is also increasing economic insecurity, violence against women, and care burdens for women (SDG 5). Half

Tanf
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash assistance to needy American families and was established in 1997 by the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act under President Bill Clinton on July 1st. It costs approximately $17.28 billion annually, administered by states but funded 80% by the federal government. States must meet work requirements to receive block grants and can only provide cash assistance for up to 6 months to encourage employment and reduce long-term dependency. The program has faced political controversy but not major modifications since inception.
Saving Lives 2.0: How Social Media will Change Disasters and Response
This document discusses how social media has changed disaster response and information sharing. It notes that social media has brought every disaster into people's homes by sharing photos and videos. It also discusses how social media allows the public to both receive information from and provide information to first responders. The document argues that with over 78% of Americans using social media, platforms can be leveraged to inform the public, gather eyewitness reports, and even help coordinate community response efforts during disasters.

At an average temperature of 10°C, the optimum fur length for survival is 15mm, with individuals distributed around this length. If the temperature drops to 5°C, individuals with longer fur are better insulated and more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on genes for longer fur. Over generations, the mean fur length of the population increases as longer-furred individuals survive at a higher rate than shorter-furred individuals, until the optimum length is reached again.

Learning Objectives
1. 13.1Recall the causes and effects of noncommunicable diseases
2. 13.2Evaluate the role of global travel and trade in facilitating the globalization of infectious diseases
3. 13.3Outline the three developments that gave rise to the concept of human security
4. 13.4Describe the three epidemiologic transitions to better understand contemporary concerns about infectious diseases
5. 13.5Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of influenza and avian flu
6. 13.6Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of malaria
7. 13.7Recognize the causes and preventive measures of HIV
8. 13.8Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of SARS
9. 13.9Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of Ebola
10. 13.10Outline role of the WHO in preventing the spread of infectious diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimer’s disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.

1) Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes and respiratory diseases are the leading causes of death globally. NCDs disproportionately affect low and middle income countries.
2) Globalization has contributed to the rise of NCDs by spreading Western lifestyles and diets high in processed foods, sugar and fat. This includes the marketing of tobacco, alcohol and fast foods.
3) The major risk factors for NCDs are tobacco use, unhealthy diets, physical inactivity, harmful alcohol use and air pollution. Addressing these lifestyle and environmental factors is key to reducing NCD prevalence around the world.

This document discusses poverty, including its types, causes, and impacts. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The main causes of poverty discussed are rising population rates, low agricultural productivity, increasing prices, and unemployment. The impacts of poverty outlined are negative effects on the economy, society, and health. The conclusion states that poverty is interconnected with overpopulation, lack of economic growth and development, and that addressing poverty requires efforts from both the government and individuals.
Final Report in Health Task.
Rapid population growth is a significant obstacle to development in many poor countries. It leads to problems like environmental degradation as population and consumption levels rise, as well as economic stagnation as infrastructure and social services struggle to keep up with high birth rates. High fertility also contributes to issues like maternal mortality, youth unemployment, and political instability. While population growth alone does not cause poverty, it exacerbates development challenges. Reducing population growth through access to education and family planning is crucial for improving living standards in developing nations.
Human population
The document discusses human population growth and dynamics from historical, current, and projected perspectives. It covers topics like the rise of agriculture and cities, industrialization, global population growth rates and projections, factors influencing population growth, methods of birth control, global patterns of population growth, and models of demographic transition.
Preventing infectious diseases florian and ciara
Infectious diseases are caused by pathogens like viruses, bacteria, fungi and protozoa. Common infectious diseases include the common cold and malaria. Malaria kills over 700,000 people per year and costs Africa $12 billion annually in lost GDP. Prevention methods like hand washing, immunizations, avoiding insect bites and sexual contact can help control the spread of infectious diseases and their negative economic impacts.

It discusses three main reasons for ongoing growth: improved living conditions in more places, more efficient agriculture, and better health services. As a result, death rates have dropped significantly while birth rates have only slowed somewhat, leading to continued net population increase. This adds over 200,000 people to the global population per day. Nearly all future growth is projected to occur in developing countries, where poverty contributes to environmental degradation as people struggle to meet basic needs.
Human population
The document discusses various topics related to human population growth including:
1. A brief history of human population growth from early hunter-gatherer societies to the rise of agriculture and cities.
2. The demographic transition from high birth/death rates to low birth/death rates as countries develop.
3. Current population growth trends with most growth occurring in developing countries and the potential challenges of overpopulation.
4. Methods to influence population size such as family planning programs, education/empowerment of women, and potential social/economic impacts of population decline or aging populations.

Factors contributing to poverty include precarious livelihoods, exclusion, physical limitations, gender inequality, insecurity, social problems, weak community organizations, and limited capabilities. Characteristics of poverty in India include poor health, hunger, low levels of education, and inadequate housing. Steps proposed to address poverty include increasing employment, raising wages, sustaining social programs, providing paid leave, reforming the criminal justice system, investing in childcare and education, and reforming immigration policies.
