Botswana is a former British colony in Africa that gained independence in 1966. It has had one of the fastest growing economies on the continent due to being a major diamond producer. However, the country faces a major challenge from HIV/AIDS - Botswana has the second highest infection rate in the world at 24.1% of the population. The government has implemented various stages of response, beginning with eliminating transmission through blood and focusing on awareness programs, and now targeting prevention, education, and providing antiretroviral treatment through a national program. Despite these efforts, HIV/AIDS remains a serious issue for Botswana.

Hiv And Aids In Botswana
Botswana is a former British colony in Africa that gained independence in 1966. It has had one of the fastest growing economies on the continent due to being a major diamond producer. However, Botswana now has the second highest HIV/AIDS rate in the world at 24.1% of the population infected. The country's response to the epidemic has evolved in three stages from eliminating transmission through blood to expanding prevention, education, and treatment programs. Current efforts focus on targeting high-risk groups and improving access to antiretroviral therapy nationwide.
Zambia
Zambia was formerly known as Northern Rhodesia and took its current name from the Zambezi River when it gained independence in 1964. It has many natural water features such as Victoria Falls, Lake Tanganyika, and Lake Kariba. Lusaka is the capital and most populous city of Zambia, with a population of 1.7 million people. Zambia is home to diverse wildlife including rhinos, elephants, lions, buffalo, and giraffes that can be seen in its national parks and along major rivers.
Presentation 10th most polluted city in the world
Kabwe, Zambia is the 10th most polluted city in the world due to lead mining and processing. Over 255,000 people have been potentially affected by the lead and cadmium pollution left behind from mining that ended in 1994. A $15 million clean-up project was initiated but the pollution continues to impact the health of the population, especially children.
2006:Economic Impact of HIV/AIDS in Botswana
This document summarizes an ongoing study in 2006 on the economic impact of HIV/AIDS in Botswana. It discusses:
1) Updating macroeconomic models to capture the impact of HIV/AIDS on factors like labor force, productivity, and economic growth. Models show GDP per capita and employment would be higher with HIV treatment compared to without treatment.
2) Simulating the impact of HIV/AIDS on household poverty by superimposing prevalence trends onto a household survey. Results show poverty rates would be lower with HIV treatment.
3) Projecting costs of HIV treatment programs in Botswana based on utilization rates and unit costs. Charts show growing numbers on treatment and declining deaths with scale-up of

Europe's need for raw materials led to the Scramble for Africa in the late 19th century, where European powers raced to colonize Africa to build their empires and acquire natural resources. Most African countries gained independence from European rule in the 1950s-1960s, but have since faced political instability due to issues like government corruption, civil wars, and poverty. Apartheid in South Africa enforced racial segregation and denied rights to black citizens until the end of apartheid in the 1990s under President F. W. de Klerk.

How to make effective use of Teaching Aids?
This document discusses the importance and benefits of using audio-visual aids in teaching. It defines audio-visual aids according to Carter V. Good and Edgar Dale and explains that they help complete the learning process of motivation, classification, and stimulation by making the learning experience more concrete, realistic, and clear. The document also outlines several benefits of using audio-visual aids, including helping students retain concepts permanently and creating a more engaging learning environment.
Types of presentations
The document outlines 5 types of presentations: informative, instructional, arousing, persuasive, and decision-making. Informative presentations stick to facts and break information down simply. Instructional presentations teach new skills or processes thoroughly. Arousing presentations use stories and examples to engage emotions and interest. Persuasive presentations aim to gain agreement by presenting problems and solutions credibly. Decision-making presentations provide evidence to convince an audience to take a proposed action.

Oer casestudy botswana presentation
Botswana is a South African country that gained independence in 1966 and has since transformed from a poor to middle-income country thanks to diamond mining. The Botswana College of Distance and Open Learning (BOCODOL) was established in 1998 and partnered with the Botswana Ministry of Education and Commonwealth of Learning to produce open educational resources to support secondary education. The project trained teachers in instructional design and using technologies like Moodle. Challenges included inadequate time and access to computers/internet for teachers, but providing laptops and mobile internet helped address these. Overall the project increased BOCODOL's capacity to develop OER and produced teaching resources that can benefit the education system.

World Vision Romania launched the "Good Mothers, Healthy Babies" campaign to raise awareness about health and nutrition problems faced by mothers and children in rural areas and reduce infant mortality. Research found issues like anemia in mothers and babies and a lack of education around breastfeeding and childcare. The campaign aimed to inform the public through TV, print, online media and blogs, garner celebrity endorsements, and fundraise to help mothers and children access medical services. Over four months, the campaign generated over 150 news articles and social media posts, reached over 23 million people, and raised 14,600 euro to provide educational seminars to rural mothers.
The Effects Of Aids On Swaziland
Swaziland has the highest HIV/AIDS prevalence rate in the world at 26.1% of adults. As a result, life expectancy has dropped to only 31.88 years and there are over 70,000 orphaned children. The spread of HIV/AIDS in Swaziland is largely driven by polygamy and cultural stigma surrounding HIV status, which prevents many from getting tested or disclosing their status. The government has tried to address the epidemic through prevention programs, testing initiatives, and behavior change campaigns, but Swaziland remains the worst affected country.
Aids
HIV/AIDS has had a devastating impact in many African countries. In Botswana, life expectancy has dropped to just 39 years due to the high HIV prevalence rate of nearly 39%. The loss of many working-age adults threatens Botswana's economy. However, Brazil has had success in combating HIV/AIDS through prevention campaigns, free treatment programs, and producing generic antiretroviral drugs. Brazil is now helping other African countries like Botswana by sharing its expertise and experience.

Marama Pala Ngātiawa ki Kapiti, Kaiwhakahaere/Executive Director (INA), an HIV positive Māori woman, plans to promote the visibility of Indigenous People’s HIV and AIDS issues; to increase the support from local, regional and international Indigenous people.
“History shows us that HIV is not openly discussed at Indigenous conferences. It’s an issue that gets left off the agenda.” says Marama Pala, “Even though Indigenous Peoples experience high rates of HIV and AIDS, it needs to be made visible at all Indigenous conferences and gatherings. It’s time that all Indigenous peoples became aware that we are a marginalised community vulnerable to HIV”
Indigenous people globally continue to under represented in HIV prevention, research, policy and funding initiatives, and this contributes to ongoing HIV disparities and resource allocation. The stigma within Indigenous communities further marginalises this health issue, making it difficult to discuss.
“I hope am able to stress the importance of HIV, speaking openly about HIV and facing the stigma of HIV with my Indigenous and aboriginal brothers and sisters” urges Marama. “Silence No More...for the sake of my HIV negative children; we need to eliminate stigma and discrimination and make our people safe.”

HIV/AIDS brief
HIV/AIDS is a global issue that disproportionately affects developing countries and vulnerable groups. By 2000, over 34 million people worldwide were living with HIV/AIDS, with 95% residing in developing nations. Responses have included prevention education programs, working to increase access to low-cost treatment, and addressing underlying social and economic factors that increase risk. One such program is the National Highway One Project in Vietnam, which aims to reduce transmission along major transport routes through community outreach and encouraging behavior change.

In this document, James Ward discusses ongoing high rates of STIs among Aboriginal communities in Australia and potential strategies to address health inequalities. He notes STIs remain difficult to discuss and are particularly impacting remote areas. Recent initiatives discussed include the Young Deadly Free campaign promoting education and testing, national sentinel surveillance of testing coverage through ATLAS, and a national survey of Aboriginal youth knowledge and behaviors called GOANNA. Precision public health approaches using genomic and health services data are also proposed. Ward advocates for empowering Aboriginal leadership and centering community-based approaches to enable strength-based and culturally appropriate STI control.

Paper presented at the 14th Annual Conference of the Hawaii International Conference on Education, January 3-6, 2016, Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Abstract
One way to achieve optimal use of development aid funds is to capitalize on the low-cost human resources through the humanitarian spirit found among students and teacher volunteers in developed nations. Effective programs that employ volunteer teacher trainers, student workers, and health care volunteers can bolster professional development of teacher and student work experience in local communities, thereby meeting part of people's basic needs in developing countries. Such low-cost, cooperative efforts can energize the professional and international work expertise of both the local native people and the visiting volunteers
This presentation describes how a volunteer international service program had and is having a positive effect on building a community health service in a rural Cameroon village in West Africa, a project founded and run by the late Phyllis Jansyn. Discussion of how similar programs can be established and maintained. Further, some guidelines for planning volunteer programs, recruiting volunteers, and implementing a volunteer training program are outlined. Finally, ways to assist local government offices, community welfare organizations and local schools to meet their some of the manpower needs through cooperation with foreign education ministries, teacher training institutions, professional education organizations, and in cooperation with individuals in developed countries are proposed.
18 jun20 ILC Global Alliance webinar presentation
With the ILC Global Alliance marking its 30th anniversary this year, members came together to share their perspectives on the impact of COVID-19 on long-term care.
While the coronavirus has indiscriminately hit most countries of the world, its impact has been disproportionately felt by the most vulnerable in society, including those receiving long-term care. In Europe alone, it is estimated that up to half of the total number of coronavirus deaths have occurred in long-term care facilities. In order to ensure that our older population is sufficiently protected while still receiving the care they need, will countries have to urgently rethink and adjust how long-term care is provided?

Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).

4. Differentiate between intervals and segments
5. Enlist some common indications for obtaining an ECG
6. Describe the flow of current around the heart during the cardiac cycle
7. Discuss the placement and polarity of the leads of electrocardiograph
8. Describe the normal electrocardiograms recorded from the limb leads and explain the physiological basis of the different records that are obtained
9. Define mean electrical vector (axis) of the heart and give the normal range
10. Define the mean QRS vector
11. Describe the axes of leads (hexagonal reference system)
12. Comprehend the vectorial analysis of the normal ECG
13. Determine the mean electrical axis of the ventricular QRS and appreciate the mean axis deviation
