Ethiopia is facing a severe food crisis due to the worst drought in 60 years affecting the Horn of Africa region since mid-July 2011. Rain failure is the main cause of Ethiopia's crisis, resulting in drought and dead plants. This leads to starvation among both humans and animals. While Ethiopia has faced many famines in the past, the current crisis began in 2006 and could become worse than the 1984-1985 famine if not addressed. The country has poor resources and relies on aid from other nations. Charitable organizations want to help Ethiopia by providing food and water in the short term, but continued rain failure could exacerbate the crisis into a full-blown famine.

World hunger presentation ppt
In our opinion, poverty is the main reason for hunger, weather is it poverty of an individual or of a whole nation. In developing countries, governments can’t afford to support those in need for food and water and in developed countries there are some individuals who can’t afford their need due to lack of education which caused them to be unable to look for a source of income.
Natural disasters can cause poverty too. Governments should be able to provide shelter and food for those people who their houses and belongings were destroyed by natural disasters.
How Can We Feed The World?
The document discusses the challenge of feeding a growing global population and identifies technology and collaboration as keys to meeting future food needs. By 2050, the world's population will increase by 3 billion people and require 100% more food than currently produced. New technologies have already helped double food production, but 70% of additional future needs must come from technology. Working together, technology and collaboration can help ensure abundant, affordable food supplies and consumer choice for all.

Starvation and its mli
Starvation can occur from withholding food or administering unsuitable food. It can be acute, resulting from a sudden stoppage of food, or chronic, resulting from a gradual deficient food supply. Causes include famine, entrapment, neglect, willful withholding or refusal of food. Symptoms in acute starvation include abdominal pain within 2 days and general emaciation after 5 days. Chronic starvation causes loss of well-being, fatigue, weight loss, cachexia, hypothermia and reduced resistance to infection. Death from starvation alone occurs within 6-8 weeks when 20% of body proteins and 70-90% of body fat are lost. Post-mortem examination shows loss of adipose tissue, organ atrophy

Poverty is defined as being deprived of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by factors such as lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addiction. Poverty leads to high mortality rates, increased health risks, hampers children's development, inhibits education, and increases conflict. Globally, over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day, 22,000 children die daily due to poverty, and 8 million die annually from lack of food and nutrition. The majority of the world's hungry population lives in just 7 countries including India.

Food crisis ( famine ) global warming
A famine (Food Crisis) is a widespread scarcity of food, caused by several factors including war, inflation, crop failure, population imbalance, or government policies. This phenomenon is usually accompanied or followed by regional malnutrition, starvation, epidemic, and increased mortality. Every inhabited continent in the world has experienced a period of famine throughout history. In the 19th and 20th century, it was generally Southeast and South Asia, as well as Eastern and Central Europe that suffered the most deaths from famine.
Some countries, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa, continue to have extreme cases of famine. Since 2010, Africa has been the most affected continent in the world. As of 2017, the United Nations has warned some 20 million are at risk in South Sudan, Somalia, Nigeria and Yemen.
Poverty
Africa is one of the less developed continents experiencing widespread poverty. Lack of access to clean drinking water, which over 1 billion people in Africa do not have, is a major overlooked cause of poverty. Conflict also exacerbates poverty as corrupt dictatorships rule without respecting human rights and treat citizens poorly. The effects of poverty include malnutrition, illiteracy, hunger, homelessness and increased disease. Hunger is also both a cause and effect of poverty, as most individuals cannot afford decent meals due to low currency values.
Poor vs Rich
The document discusses poverty around the world and its causes and consequences. It notes that the richest 10% consume 50% of the world's meat while the poorest 20% consume only 5%. At least 70% of humanity lives on less than $10 per day. Causes of poverty include lack of access to education, malnutrition, government neglect of the poor, economic slowdowns, and lack of job opportunities. Consequences are increased diseases, overcrowding, unemployment, crime, and an aging population. Proposed cures include charity events to raise awareness, providing free education, reducing overpopulation through urbanization, and increasing access to healthcare.
Cause Of Poverty In Africa
Poverty is the major cause of problems in Africa such as poaching, piracy, and child labor. Most Africans live on less than $1.25 per day and suffer from hunger, homelessness, and unemployment. Desperate to afford food and basic needs, many Africans engage in dangerous activities like poaching wildlife or hijacking ships. Africa's biggest challenge is reducing poverty to improve living conditions and security across the continent.
Food Rationing
1) In a rural clinic in Hadero, Ethiopia, children are weighed and only the most severely malnourished are given food aid, as resources are limited.
2) Around 10 million people in Ethiopia, over 12% of the population, need emergency food aid after drought destroyed harvests and food prices doubled.
3) Aid workers are struggling to prioritize aid and only have enough resources to help half the 4.6 million Ethiopians that need assistance, as expenses have risen.
Fighting poverty
Poverty is defined as lacking material possessions, money or basic human needs. Countries with high rates of poverty include Mexico, India, Haiti, Nigeria and Venezuela. Child poverty is especially severe, with 1 in 6 African children dying before age 5 and nearly 1/3 of African children being underweight. While increasing access to education, infrastructure, basic necessities and standard of living can help reduce poverty, challenges include corruption, economic crises, disease, war, and natural disasters. Ending poverty requires efforts from governments and individuals through donations, volunteering and other actions.
Nick & Andrew Drought Project
The document summarizes the ongoing drought in the Southeast region. It has lasted over 5 months, making it the worst drought in 500 years. The economy and agriculture are suffering greatly due to lack of water for crops and cattle. Conservation efforts are critical to avoid catastrophic effects, as the drought shows no signs of ending without significant rainfall.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune Disease
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
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).

Edge of starvation
- 1. ETHIOPIA ON THE BRINK OF A FAMINE
- 3. Ethiopia is an African country that lies at the horn of Africa which is facing a food crisis Since mid-July 2011, a severe Drought has been affecting the entire East Africa (Horn of Africa)region. Said to be "the worst in 60 years", the drought has caused a severe food crisis across Somalia, Ethiopia an- d Kenya that threatens the livelihood of more than 13.3 million people due to Rain Failure!
- 4. As for Ethiopia, Rain Failure is not the only reason for the crisis , there is another reason which is that Ethiopia cannot use water that goes to the Nile river due to the old agreement with England . Also, using water from the Nile means that Egypt as well could have a famine because the only water resource for Egypt is the Nile River….so we can say that the main reason for Ethiopia’s crisis is Rain Failure!
- 5. When did the Crisis happen? Ethiopia had lots and lots of famines , but the recent one has started at 2006, and they say if it continues it may be worse than the famine of 1984-85

- 8. Who intends to help? You have to go through me We want to help Ethiopia! We want to help Ethiopia overcome the Help Us!!! crisis!
- 9. Explanation… WFP and OXFAM wants to help Ethiopia by giving food, clean water, etc.. As a first push to the Ethiopians so they can start planting crops and rise with their economy ,but every month it gets even worse the prices have risen by 14.6%
- 10. How can the problem be fixed? The answer is that the rain doesn’t fail the next year too so let us all pray for that, or it will be the 4th time in a row and the crisis will get worse and becomes a famine..
- 11. Well I guess I reached the minimum amount of slides so I guess this is…..
