Satoshi Omura graduated from University of Yamanashi and fights diseases like roundworm infections. Roundworms can grow up to 15-20 centimeters long in the stomach and cause symptoms like shortness of breath, fever, and stomach pain. Professor Omura helped develop treatments for roundworm infections like avermectin. However, as the world population continues to grow rapidly, diseases and other problems persist. While scientists have made progress against diseases like smallpox and guinea worm, malaria remains very difficult to eradicate due to the strength of the malaria parasite and the development of drug resistance.

Malaria
The document discusses malaria, caused by a Plasmodium parasite transmitted via mosquito bites. It has a complex life cycle alternating between mosquitoes and humans. Symptoms appear about 15 days after infection. While there is no vaccine, prevention and treatment involve drugs like artemisinin and mefloquine. Resistance has emerged which is a major problem, as with guinea worm the parasite has proven very difficult to eradicate over a long history despite efforts.
Four Illness Of The Third World
Malaria is a disease caused by protozoa that infects over 400 million people worldwide each year, most commonly in Africa. It is transmitted through the bites of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. Symptoms include shivering, vomiting, headache, and high fever in cycles. Prevention methods include wearing long, light-colored clothing; applying insect repellent; and sleeping under mosquito nets, especially for those traveling to Africa.
Y8 Humans 10 infectious diseases
This document discusses infectious diseases and microbes. It explains that infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. It defines disease and explains that microbes need food, water, and warmth to grow and replicate. It provides examples of how different diseases are spread, such as through contaminated food or water, coughs and sneezes, mosquito bites, or sexual contact.
CLASS V EVS MOSQUITOES
Malaria is spread by the bite of infected female Anopheles mosquitoes. It occurs most commonly in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The spread of malaria depends on factors like rainfall, mosquito types in an area, and proximity of people to mosquito breeding sites. Malaria causes high fever and flu-like symptoms and can be fatal if untreated, with young children in Africa being most at risk of death. Controlling malaria involves reducing mosquito breeding grounds, using bed nets and insect repellents, and prompt treatment with quinine, which is derived from the cinchona plant. Community cooperation in cleaning up sources of standing water is important for prevention.

01 How Do Bacteria Make You Sick.pptx
Bacteria can make you sick by entering your body through cuts, food/water, sexual contact, air, or animal bites. Common bacterial diseases include strep throat, staph infections, and food poisoning. Bacteria are single-celled organisms that are much smaller than human cells and can have different shapes. The human body has defenses against bacteria like the skin, mucus, stomach acids, and immune cells. When infections occur, antibiotics can treat many bacterial infections, but some bacteria are evolving resistance to antibiotics, creating serious issues like MRSA. It is important to always finish all of an antibiotic prescription to avoid furthering bacterial resistance.

HIV originated from chimpanzees in West Africa and is transmitted through bodily fluids. Symptoms include coughing and vision loss. Treatment includes antiretroviral drugs. Mosquito-borne illnesses like yellow fever originated in tropical regions and are transmitted by mosquito bites. Symptoms include fever and vomiting. Prevention includes vaccination and insect repellent. Ebola likely originated from contact with bats in West Africa and causes hemorrhaging. Symptoms include fever and diarrhea. Prevention involves hygiene and avoiding contact with infected animals or fluids.
Infectious Diseases
Most infectious diseases are caused by microorganisms like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Viruses are the smallest and can only reproduce inside living cells, while bacteria are a bit larger and can grow on their own. Fungi come in many varieties from bread mould to mushrooms. Microbes spread disease through various means like coughing, contaminated food or water, mosquito bites, and sexual contact. Understanding how diseases spread can help prevent their transmission.
HEALTH Q3 1st part.pptx

Pulmonary fibrosis is a lung disease that causes scarring in the lungs. It killed the author's father and other family members. Kuru disease is caused by cannibalism and eating other people's brains, which destroys the victim's brain. Cancer is caused by cells that do not die when they should and make new cells that are not needed. It is the second leading cause of death in America. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot control blood sugar levels properly. There are two main types - Type 1 requires insulin shots while Type 2 is usually caused by an unhealthy lifestyle. Asthma causes breathing difficulties and attacks can be triggered by things like smoke, pollution and allergies. Autism is a mental illness where people
Cholera Masterpiece
Cholera is an infection of the small intestine caused by the cholera bacterium, which causes severe watery diarrhea and can lead to rapid dehydration. It is typically contracted by consuming food or water contaminated with the feces of an infected person. While cholera epidemics are currently occurring in parts of Asia, Africa, and Latin America, it is unlikely a person living in the United States would get cholera due to modern water and sewage treatment systems. Cholera can be fatal if not treated due to dehydration, but oral rehydration solutions can treat the dehydration and antibiotics can lessen the severity of symptoms.

This document discusses the origins and nature of human language. It describes how the Pirahã tribe's unusual language challenged the view that all languages are fundamentally the same. The story of linguist Dan Everett, who lived with and studied the Pirahã people, suggests that their language lacks concepts like numbers and past/future tenses. Everett concluded that language may have emerged from early human species like Homo erectus using symbolic communication through gestures and sounds, contradicting the view that all languages share a universal grammar.

Everett concluded that language may have emerged from early human species like Homo erectus using symbolic communication through gestures and sounds, contradicting the view that all languages share a universal grammar.
Sem6 up
The document discusses the origins and nature of language. It explores the relationship between words, grammar, meaning, and thinking. A key point is that Noam Chomsky argues that grammar was present in the human brain before the first words or pictures, and that grammar was necessary for true thinking. The document also examines how the basic concept of "merging" or combining elements is crucial to language and allowed early humans to develop more advanced cognitive abilities.
Sem2 oct42019
The document discusses semantics in linguistics. It explains that semantics is the study of meaning and is a fundamental part of language. Semantics involves analyzing how meaning is derived from words, phrases, grammar, context and other linguistic elements. It also explores how meaning can change over time based on historical and social factors. Overall, the document emphasizes that semantics and the struggle to understand meaning are at the core of language and language learning.
Test Review
The document discusses the components of meaning for words, including phonology, syntax, category, valency, semantics, and frames. It uses the word "horse" as an example, breaking down its phonology (/hɔːs/), syntactic category (noun), valency (determiner), semantic index (X), and frames (<Horse-Frame, Entity X>). The high-level summary is that the document outlines the linguistic components that define a word's meaning, using the word "horse" to demonstrate this breakdown.
Predicate calculus up
This document provides an introduction to propositional and predicate logic by presenting examples of their use in representing linguistic statements and relationships. It discusses how predicate logic uses predicates and quantifiers to represent internal structures and relationships between entities. It also explains how propositional logic and quantifiers can be used to model relationships between sets and make claims about existence and universality. The document suggests that while logic is important in linguistics and computer science, it may not fully capture how humans understand and use language.
Predicate calculus
This document provides an introduction to propositional and predicate logic, including examples of how they can be used to represent linguistic statements in a formal, computable way. Some key points covered include:
- Propositional logic uses simple statements connected with logical operators like "if-then", while predicate logic introduces predicates and variables to represent internal structures.
- Examples show how predicate logic can represent statements about individuals and their properties or relationships using predicates, variables, and quantifiers.
- While logic provides a useful formalism for linguistics and computer science, some argue it may not accurately capture how humans naturally understand and use language. Modern linguistics also explores how language relates to other aspects of human cognition beyond logical representations.
Sentence sem1update
This document discusses sentence semantics and propositional logic. It introduces basic concepts like predicates, arguments, propositions, logical connectives, and quantifiers. Predicates represent relationships between entities, and can take 1, 2, or more arguments. Propositions assign truth values (true/false) to simple statements with no internal structure. Logical connectives like "if...then" and "and" represent logical relationships between propositions. Quantifiers like "all" and "some" indicate whether a predicate applies to all or some members of a set. The document uses many examples to illustrate these logical terms and how they can be used to simplify natural language statements.
Sem6 up
The document discusses language as creation. It provides examples from Hindu myths, the Bible, and Harry Potter that describe words creating entities like the earth, sky, light through speech acts. It also discusses how words can create individuals, objects, situations, and principles. The document questions whether words can truly be considered acts of creation and ponders how language works at a basic level.
Sem6
The document discusses different views on how language can be seen as a form of creation. It provides examples from Hindu myths, the Bible, and fictional statements to illustrate this. Words and sentences are not just symbols but can be considered as creating or representing actual things, individuals, actions, or situations in the mind of the listener or reader. There is a debate around whether and how precisely a word or phrase can be thought of as an object or event in itself.
Sem5
An introduction to information and semantics in linguistics. Constructing a simple model of language.
Sem3
- The document discusses semantics and how meaning is derived from words, concepts, and objects in the real world. It explores different theories of word meaning, including referential semantics which relates words to objects, and lexical semantics which relates words to other words. The document also discusses semantic fields which group related words together, and componential analysis which breaks down meaning into semantic primitives or features.
Sem4
The document discusses several key concepts in semantics including:
- Word meaning is composed of the sign or word, the thing or concept it refers to in the real world, and the idea of that thing.
- Nouns have an identity index that specifies person, number, and gender. Verbs have a situation index rather than an entity.
- Word meaning is also defined through semantic frames which represent all the aspects and attributes associated with the word's concept.
- Different word categories like nouns and verbs have different types of semantic information that define their meaning including identity/situation indexes and the frames that are part of their concept.
Bare phrasestructure II
The document discusses bare phrase structure and how sentences are analyzed in this framework. It shows that a sentence consists of a verb phrase with an empty valence list, and phrases are built up recursively from lexical items through mergers governed by syntactic rules. Examples of English and Japanese phrases and sentences are broken down into their constituent parts to illustrate bare phrase structure.
Bare phrase structure
The document discusses the principles of bare phrase structure and X-Bar Theory in syntax. It introduces basic syntactic categories and structures like noun phrases, verb phrases, and prepositional phrases. Examples are provided in English and Japanese to illustrate how different languages construct phrases under the same bare phrase structure. The document also includes quiz examples for the reader to practice analyzing phrases based on these syntactic principles.
65 86 ling3
The document discusses the history and debates around linguistic theories from the 1960s-1980s. It describes how Chomsky's theory of universal grammar was initially challenged by theorists like George Lakoff who argued meaning was more important than syntax. It then explains how Chomsky's theory of movement and extra syntactic structures like X-bar theory emerged to account for linguistic phenomena. In the 1990s, Chomsky introduced Minimalism which aimed to simplify theories by reducing unnecessary movement and structure.
Phrase Structure Rules from 57
A quick look at the history of linguistics and how we got too focused on grammar as we tried to find universal rules.
Merge rec2
This document discusses the ideas of linguist Noam Chomsky and debates around his theory of Universal Grammar. It introduces concepts like merge and recursion, and questions whether these are uniquely features of human language or found in other domains as well. While Chomsky argued language abilities are hardwired, others believe language is more like ordinary thinking and that merge and recursion may appear in other areas like mathematics, nature, or animal communication. The document acknowledges there are different views and that ultimately, more research is needed to fully understand these complex issues.
Ling2 gengram
The document discusses the concept of infinite creativity in language and recursion. It explores the idea that language rules allow for an infinite number of sentences to be generated through recursive embedding of phrases. While this ability seems infinite, the document notes that in practice recursion becomes difficult beyond a certain point due to issues like boredom, confusion or lack of meaning. It then discusses how generative grammar approaches like those of Chomsky analyze the deep structure of language in the brain using rules of syntax, metaphor, and the merging and embedding of phrases. The history of these ideas is traced back thousands of years, but significant modern work began in the 1960s, though many open questions still remain about concepts like Universal Grammar.

In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
