Introduction
Influenza commonly known as flu is a contagious respiratory infection that attacks the general respiratory system that is, the nose, throat, and even the lungs. It is caused by the two types of influenza viruses which are influenza A, influenza B and influenza C (Wang & Tao, 2010). Attacks from both viruses are epidemic and seasonal as they are common within specific periods within a year. Attack mechanisms for influenza A viruses depends on the genes on the surface protein of a patient. They are normally spread through sneezing and coughing from an infected individual to the surrounding air (Wang & Tao, 2010).
The flu can also attack an individual in case they get into direct body tissue contact with an infected individual for example handshaking. Health professionals argue that the flu virus is stubborn and spreads mainly over tiny droplets which are produced when the infected individuals’ cough, talk, and sneeze (Wang & Tao, 2010). Such droplets are easily carried by the surrounding air and can be landed in the nose and mouths of the immediate persons. Additionally, it can enter into one’s system if he or she gets into direct contact with a surface or object that has the influenza bacteria and consequently rubs or touches their nose, mouth or even eyes (Wang & Tao, 2010).
Health departments have overtime identified initiative to address the problem of influenza, such initiatives include:
Reducing human exposure to the flu viruses, this initiative works by notifying the public on the safe ways to prevent and control the spread of the virus and it actively works to reduce infection opportunities and curbs the spread of the pandemic virus (Abramson, 2011).
They have built able capacities to cope with the pandemic, measures have been taken and put in place to cope with the virus since helping the society to stay free from the virus (Abramson, 2011).

Vaccines Safety and Effectiveness
Do you think vaccination is an important or just harmful substance forced by pharmaceutical companies cooperating with the governments to inject into people? Vaccine can be defined as “biological preparations that, when introduced into the body, cause an individual to acquire immunity to a specific disease” (Davidson. 7). So, for decades, vaccines have been considered one of the best revaluation in medical practice. A long time ago, people all around the world tried to fight with different kinds of fatal diseases by different ways, and one of the most Significant ways is to make a vaccine, to prevent such life- threatening diseases. The first vaccine was against the Smallpox disease. Smallpox is a highly contagious disease and caused a lot of fatalities all around the world, and it is transmitted between people by inhalation of droplets of virus or direct contact with smallpox lesion secretions (Davidson 25). It is a deadly disease, it caused blindness and permanent scars in the patients that survived. Finally, after several attempts to make a vaccine for Smallpox, Edward succeeded to produce an effective and safe vaccine in 1796 by using the cowpox vaccine to protect from smallpox. Cowpox is a disease cause by cows and transferred to human, and Jenner’s theory was based that whoever had cowpox will be immunized against smallpox (Davidson 29). “Edward Jenner was an English country doctor who introduced the vaccine for smallpox. Previously a keen practitioner of smallpox inoculation.”
Then, century after century, vaccine after vaccine was developed for different kinds of diseases. In the 20th century, one of the most known vaccines was Diphtheria and Tetanus vaccines. Diphtheria is a respiratory illness, causing the release of exotoxin from Corynebacterium diphtheriae bacteria which leads to death of mucus cells in the throat, mouth and nose, and as a result of cells accumulation the pseudo-membrane are build up and block the airways of the patients which causes death (Davidson 42) After years of experiments and trials to make a vaccine to fight this disease, Gaston Ramon a French veterinarian and biologist who realized that attenuated Diphtheria toxin is able to activate the immune system of people without causing serious side effects, and by 1927, the toxoid vaccine was freely used all around the world, and it succeeds to drop the number of cases of diphtheria. Then, by using the same way of toxoid, combined Diphtheria and Tetanus Toxoid vaccines were produced. Tetanus can be described as a nerves system infection that leads to spasm and contract of body muscles, especially jaw muscles which make the patients unable to open their mouths (Davidson. 44)
Another example of one of the most significant vaccine is a Polio vaccine. Polio disease, mainly affecting children under 5 years old, and leading to paralysis and often to death due to immobilization of respi.

An endemic refers to the usual presence of a disease within a geographic area, such as chickenpox among children in the US. An epidemic is when an infectious disease spreads rapidly to many people in excess of normal rates, like SARS in 2003. A pandemic is a global epidemic, such as HIV/AIDS or influenza that has occurred throughout history. Prevention methods include vaccinations, hand washing, and avoiding mosquito bites to prevent the spread of diseases from endemic to epidemic or pandemic levels.
Here are some key points about descriptive epidemiology:
- Descriptive epidemiology involves observing disease occurrence patterns without altering exposures or outcomes. It aims to identify who is affected, where, and when rather than determine causation.
- The epidemiologic triad of agent, host, and environment provides a framework for understanding disease etiology. The agent is the pathogen or risk factor. The host refers to individual susceptibility. Environment encompasses external influences on transmission and development.
- Studying disease patterns by person involves examining characteristics like age, sex, race, and socioeconomic status. These demographic factors can influence exposure and vulnerability. Age is often the strongest predictor of health.
- Place refers to geographic location, which can impact
John Snow is considered the father of epidemiology for his work investigating a cholera outbreak in London in 1854. Through mapping the locations of cholera cases and the water sources people used, Snow was able to determine that the source of the outbreak was the Broad Street water pump. Removing the pump handle stopped the outbreak. Snow's use of statistical mapping methods to identify the source of transmission pioneered epidemiological investigation techniques that are still used today.

Week 4: Week 4 - Epidemiology—Introduction
Epidemiology—Introduction
The study of epidemics is epidemiology. Its primary focus is on the distribution and causes of disease in populations. Epidemiology involves developing and testing ways to prevent and control disease by studying its origin, spread, and vulnerabilities.
As a discipline, epidemiologic research addresses a variety of health-related questions of societal importance. Epidemiologic research methods are used by clinical investigators and scientists who conduct observational and experimental research on the prevention and treatment of disease.
The Cholera epidemic, a case from the 19th century, was enabled by the global movement of people. Having appeared in India in 1817, it spread throughout Asia and the Middle East within a decade. It was reported in Moscow in 1830 and then spread to Warsaw, Hamburg, Berlin, and London in 1831 (Snow, 1855, 2002). When it crossed the Atlantic to reach North America, Cholera gained the notoriety of the first truly global disease.
The modern day world is dominated by free trade and rapid transportation. An unprecedented rate of global interchange of food, consumer products, and organisms—including humans—is occurring. The threat of pandemics in the 21st century has heightened the importance of epidemiology at national and international levels.
Although diseases such as Influenza A (H1N1), Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS), West Nile Virus, Salmonella, are commonly recognized as epidemics, as they cause large scale disruption of health in populations. The field of epidemiology also addresses epidemics of obesity (Ogden et al., 2007), diabetes (Zimmet, 2001), mental health (Insel & Fenton, 2005), and any other disease that may cause large scale disruption of health in populations.
In general, there are ten stages to an outbreak investigation:
1. Investigation preparation
2. Outbreak confirmation
3. Case definition
4. Case identification
5. Descriptive epidemiology
6. Hypothesis generation
7. Hypothesis evaluation
8. Environmental studies
9. Control measures
10. Information dissemination
Investigation preparation requires a health crisis manager to identify a team of professionals who will lead the outbreak investigation, review the scientific literature, and notify local, state, and national organizations of the potential outbreak.
Outbreak confirmation requires actual laboratory confirmation of the disease, which may involve the collection of blood, urine, and stool samples from ill people and performing bacteriologic, virologic, or parasitic testing of those samples.
Case definition is the process by which we establish a set of standard criteria to determine who is and is not infected with respect to a specific outbreak; that is, a protocol is developed to determine case patients.
Case identification requires the health crisis manager and team of professionals to conduct a systematic and organize.

Abstract:The impact of control strategies to effectively control the burden of the effect of carriers on the salmonella diarrhea is investigated in this paper. This model studies the dynamics of diarrhea by formulating and analyzing the impact of carriers. According to the pathogenesis of salmonella, the model had been designed as an SIR system comprising of a non-constant population. The disease-free state and basic reproduction number (R0) have been computed for this system. In epidemics, there are always two cases: R0<1>1 (epidemic existing state).

The new Pandemic Preparedness Citizen's Guide, edited by Sarah Booth, Kelsey Hills-Evans & Scott Teesdale to incorporate information around the recent COVID-19 pandemic.
This document summarizes key information about influenza, including its prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and practice improvement. It notes that influenza is an acute viral respiratory disease that causes millions of medical visits and thousands of deaths annually in the US. Elderly persons have the highest risk of hospitalization and death. The primary prevention method is annual vaccination, with early antiviral treatment providing the greatest clinical benefit for those infected. High-risk groups who should receive vaccination include young children, elderly adults, pregnant women, and those with certain chronic medical conditions. Vaccine effectiveness varies depending on antigenic matching between vaccine and circulating virus strains but is moderately effective at preventing influenza infections.
This document provides an overview of epidemiology and its role in disease prevention and control. It defines key epidemiological terms and explains that epidemiology is the study of disease distribution, determinants, and application to control health problems in populations. Major historical epidemics are summarized, and principles of epidemiology like distribution, determinants, specified populations, and application are described. Methods of disease prevention and control like source removal, transmission prevention, and general outbreak investigation principles are also outlined. Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic around vaccination, sanitation, healthcare workforce, hospital capacity, hygiene, and awareness are highlighted.
The document discusses the history and future of vaccination from the 20th century to the present. It describes several important milestones in vaccine development including the first vaccines for influenza (nasal spray and quadrivalent), HPV, enterovirus 71, malaria, Ebola, and meningitis B. The document argues that modern genetic and immunological techniques enable designing vaccines for diseases of aging societies and developing countries.

An outbreak of an infectious disease has occurred in the community, with 200 people infected and two hospitalized. As the head of community health, the nurse must present education on the disease to emergency management. Using the disease topic from the previous week's assignment, the nurse will create a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation covering: objectives, epidemiological data, prevention levels/interventions, community roles, disease impact, and action plan. The presentation aims to properly educate the community on the outbreak.
The document discusses the Ebola virus epidemic. It was first identified in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. Ebola virus is transmitted from animals to humans and then spreads through person-to-person transmission, causing outbreaks and epidemics. While its origin is unknown, between 1972 and 2007 there were several outbreaks with high fatality rates of 50-90%. The 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak to date.

Quantitative Data Analysis: Statistics
Introduction
Understanding the use of basic statistical strategies is part of being a critical consumer of published research literature. Unless they plan to conduct research themselves, it is not as important for counselors to understand the mathematical calculations of the statistical techniques as it is to be able to recognize the names of the common ones and what kind of information they provide. There are several commercially-available software packages for analyzing quantitative data, one of which is described in detail in Chapter 14 of
Counseling Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods
.
Descriptive and Inferential Statistics
In quantitative studies, statistical techniques are used for data analysis. The two main categories of statistics are descriptive and inferential. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize the data. Some common descriptive statistics are the measures of central tendency: the mean, median, and mode. They provide information about where the middle is in distribution of scores. On the normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are the same. Distributions are said to be skewed when extreme scores draw the mean away from the middle of the distribution. Measures of variability, such as the range, variance, and standard deviation, provide information about how widely a distribution of scores is dispersed (Erford, 2015, p. 250). The standard deviation is a measure of how the scores cluster around the mean. The greater the standard deviation, the greater the spread of scores.
Toggle DrawerHide Full Introduction
Inferential statistics are used to make inferences from the sample to the population. All inferential statistical procedures are based on probability theory. They are used to test hypotheses. Three commonly used inferential statistics are chi square, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Chi square is used with nominal data to determine if the observed expected frequency differs significantly from the expected frequency. A t-test is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of two groups. ANOVA is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of three or more groups.
Statistical Significance
When a quantitative study tests a hypothesis, it is technically the null hypothesis being tested. The null hypothesis says there is no difference between the groups, or relationship between the variables (depending on the research design). If the statistical procedure indicates there is statistical significance, the null hypothesis is rejected, meaning that the probability is high that there really is a group difference or strong relationship between the variables.
Rejecting the null hypothesis is not equivalent to proving the research or alternative hypothesis. Researchers can embrace the research hypothesis as one plausible explanation, but because only .

·IntroductionQuantitative research methodology uses a dedu.docxlanagore871
·
Introduction
Quantitative research methodology uses a deductive reasoning process (Erford, 2015, p. 5). It is based on philosophical assumptions that are very different from those that support qualitative research. Quantitative studies fall under what is broadly described as a positivist perspective. Epistemologically, knowledge is something that is believed to be objective and measurable, and the nature of reality (that is, ontology) is such that there is one fixed, observable, and definable reality. Quantitative approaches to research emphasize the objectivity of the researcher, and because a goal is to uncover the one true reality, values (axiological assumptions) and the subjective nature of experience are not likely to be examined.
Quantitative Research Designs
Quantitative research can be categorized in different ways. Brief descriptions of some designs appear below. The chosen research design is determined by the nature of the inquiry, that is, what the researcher wants to learn by conducting the study.
Counseling Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods
thoroughly describes several major reseach.
Experimental Research
Experimental research, one of the quantitative designs, involves random selection and random assignment of subjects to two or more groups over which the researcher has control. This is what distinguishes experimental studies from the other designs. Experimental studies in counseling are not that common, because many research questions do not lend themselves to random selection and assignment for ethical reasons. Experimental studies compare the effect of one or more independent variables on one or more dependent variables. Independent variables fall into two broad categories. One type of independent variable involves measuring some characteristic inherent in the study's participants, such as their age, gender, IQ, personality traits, income, or education level. These demographic or blocking variables are not something which the researcher can manipulate, though the researcher can statistically control for them. The treatment or experimental conditions that the researcher sets up is the other type of independent variable, which is unique to experimental designs. The element of control is what permits researchers to conclude that one variable has caused a change in another variable.
Quasi-Experimental Research
Quasi-experimental research designs come in many different forms. Like experimental research, the researcher aims to compare the effect of the independent variable under their control on the dependent variable. However, the researcher does not or cannot randomly assign individual participants to treatment and control groups, so cause-and-effect relationships cannot be as strongly inferred from the results. Pre-existing conditions of one group in comparison to the other may confound the findings. An example might be a study to examine the potential effects of a new curriculum aimed at reducin.

First Peer’s Post
Since, Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or TF-CBT has been found to be very successful with children and adolescents why hasn't there been much if any research done to see if it would be effective for adults as well? TF-CBT is an evidence based program that addresses childhood symptoms of PTSD
(
Sigel
, Benton, Lynch, & Kramer, 2013)
. Research has shown that TF-CBT it has as "well-established" efficacy and in a recent study it was the only treatment to be given the highest rating in all reviews
(Sigel, Benton, Lynch, & Kramer, 2013)
. Having used the treatment method myself with a client during my internship I've seen the effectiveness first hand on how it can impact a client in a positive manner. While the treatment was made with children in mind, it brings up the question of why it hasn't been tweaked in a way that it might benefit an adult as well.
What's great about TF-CBT is it's almost like a bunch of different treatments all wrapped up into one. Each treatment is essentially put into a unit or section that the counselor and client will work on. Some of the sections include psycho education, stress management, cognitive coping, etc.. Stress management, in my opinion, is probably one of the most important sections to go over with the client. If the client doesn't know how to deal with their stress than the rest of the treatment will be for naught because the client won't be able to control their stress. The stress management section focuses on teaching the cl controlled breathing, thought stopping and relaxation techniques.
A mind-body skills program was made in Gaza to essentially determine how effective these things were for people's overall quality of life in people with PTSD, depression, and anxiety
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
. They did a 10 session mind-body skills group that included meditation, guided imagery, breathing techniques, autogenic training, biofeedback, genograms, and self-expression through words, drawings, and movement
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
.
At the end of the program they found a significant improvement in overall quality of life in the clients that participated in the program, and at a 10 month follow-up the improvements were fully maintained
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
. This shows that one of the major parts of treatment in TF-CBT can be effective and makes me wonder even more if more research was done could an adult-version of TF-CBT be made and implemented while still be as effective and successful as the child/adolescent version

As the head of community health, the nurse must present education on the disease to emergency management. Using the disease topic from the previous week's assignment, the nurse will create a 20 slide PowerPoint presentation covering: objectives, epidemiological data, prevention levels/interventions, community roles, disease impact, and action plan. The presentation aims to properly educate the community on the outbreak.
The document discusses the Ebola virus epidemic. It was first identified in 1976 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan. Ebola virus is transmitted from animals to humans and then spreads through person-to-person transmission, causing outbreaks and epidemics. While its origin is unknown, between 1972 and 2007 there were several outbreaks with high fatality rates of 50-90%. The 2014-2016 West Africa epidemic was the largest and most complex Ebola outbreak to date.

Quantitative Data Analysis: Statistics
Introduction
Understanding the use of basic statistical strategies is part of being a critical consumer of published research literature. Unless they plan to conduct research themselves, it is not as important for counselors to understand the mathematical calculations of the statistical techniques as it is to be able to recognize the names of the common ones and what kind of information they provide. There are several commercially-available software packages for analyzing quantitative data, one of which is described in detail in Chapter 14 of
Counseling Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods
.
Descriptive and Inferential Statistics
In quantitative studies, statistical techniques are used for data analysis. The two main categories of statistics are descriptive and inferential. Descriptive statistics are used to summarize the data. Some common descriptive statistics are the measures of central tendency: the mean, median, and mode. They provide information about where the middle is in distribution of scores. On the normal distribution, the mean, median, and mode are the same. Distributions are said to be skewed when extreme scores draw the mean away from the middle of the distribution. Measures of variability, such as the range, variance, and standard deviation, provide information about how widely a distribution of scores is dispersed (Erford, 2015, p. 250). The standard deviation is a measure of how the scores cluster around the mean. The greater the standard deviation, the greater the spread of scores.
Toggle DrawerHide Full Introduction
Inferential statistics are used to make inferences from the sample to the population. All inferential statistical procedures are based on probability theory. They are used to test hypotheses. Three commonly used inferential statistics are chi square, t-test, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Chi square is used with nominal data to determine if the observed expected frequency differs significantly from the expected frequency. A t-test is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of two groups. ANOVA is used to determine whether there is a statistically significant difference between the means of three or more groups.
Statistical Significance
When a quantitative study tests a hypothesis, it is technically the null hypothesis being tested. The null hypothesis says there is no difference between the groups, or relationship between the variables (depending on the research design). If the statistical procedure indicates there is statistical significance, the null hypothesis is rejected, meaning that the probability is high that there really is a group difference or strong relationship between the variables.
Rejecting the null hypothesis is not equivalent to proving the research or alternative hypothesis. Researchers can embrace the research hypothesis as one plausible explanation, but because only .

·IntroductionQuantitative research methodology uses a dedu.docxlanagore871
·
Introduction
Quantitative research methodology uses a deductive reasoning process (Erford, 2015, p. 5). It is based on philosophical assumptions that are very different from those that support qualitative research. Quantitative studies fall under what is broadly described as a positivist perspective. Epistemologically, knowledge is something that is believed to be objective and measurable, and the nature of reality (that is, ontology) is such that there is one fixed, observable, and definable reality. Quantitative approaches to research emphasize the objectivity of the researcher, and because a goal is to uncover the one true reality, values (axiological assumptions) and the subjective nature of experience are not likely to be examined.
Quantitative Research Designs
Quantitative research can be categorized in different ways. Brief descriptions of some designs appear below. The chosen research design is determined by the nature of the inquiry, that is, what the researcher wants to learn by conducting the study.
Counseling Research: Quantitative, Qualitative, and Mixed Methods
thoroughly describes several major reseach.
Experimental Research
Experimental research, one of the quantitative designs, involves random selection and random assignment of subjects to two or more groups over which the researcher has control. This is what distinguishes experimental studies from the other designs. Experimental studies in counseling are not that common, because many research questions do not lend themselves to random selection and assignment for ethical reasons. Experimental studies compare the effect of one or more independent variables on one or more dependent variables. Independent variables fall into two broad categories. One type of independent variable involves measuring some characteristic inherent in the study's participants, such as their age, gender, IQ, personality traits, income, or education level. These demographic or blocking variables are not something which the researcher can manipulate, though the researcher can statistically control for them. The treatment or experimental conditions that the researcher sets up is the other type of independent variable, which is unique to experimental designs. The element of control is what permits researchers to conclude that one variable has caused a change in another variable.
Quasi-Experimental Research
Quasi-experimental research designs come in many different forms. Like experimental research, the researcher aims to compare the effect of the independent variable under their control on the dependent variable. However, the researcher does not or cannot randomly assign individual participants to treatment and control groups, so cause-and-effect relationships cannot be as strongly inferred from the results. Pre-existing conditions of one group in comparison to the other may confound the findings. An example might be a study to examine the potential effects of a new curriculum aimed at reducin.

First Peer’s Post
Since, Trauma Focused- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or TF-CBT has been found to be very successful with children and adolescents why hasn't there been much if any research done to see if it would be effective for adults as well? TF-CBT is an evidence based program that addresses childhood symptoms of PTSD
(
Sigel
, Benton, Lynch, & Kramer, 2013)
. Research has shown that TF-CBT it has as "well-established" efficacy and in a recent study it was the only treatment to be given the highest rating in all reviews
(Sigel, Benton, Lynch, & Kramer, 2013)
. Having used the treatment method myself with a client during my internship I've seen the effectiveness first hand on how it can impact a client in a positive manner. While the treatment was made with children in mind, it brings up the question of why it hasn't been tweaked in a way that it might benefit an adult as well.
What's great about TF-CBT is it's almost like a bunch of different treatments all wrapped up into one. Each treatment is essentially put into a unit or section that the counselor and client will work on. Some of the sections include psycho education, stress management, cognitive coping, etc.. Stress management, in my opinion, is probably one of the most important sections to go over with the client. If the client doesn't know how to deal with their stress than the rest of the treatment will be for naught because the client won't be able to control their stress. The stress management section focuses on teaching the cl controlled breathing, thought stopping and relaxation techniques.
A mind-body skills program was made in Gaza to essentially determine how effective these things were for people's overall quality of life in people with PTSD, depression, and anxiety
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
. They did a 10 session mind-body skills group that included meditation, guided imagery, breathing techniques, autogenic training, biofeedback, genograms, and self-expression through words, drawings, and movement
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
.
At the end of the program they found a significant improvement in overall quality of life in the clients that participated in the program, and at a 10 month follow-up the improvements were fully maintained
(Gordon, Staples, He, & Atti, 2016)
. This shows that one of the major parts of treatment in TF-CBT can be effective and makes me wonder even more if more research was done could an adult-version of TF-CBT be made and implemented while still be as effective and successful as the child/adolescent version

Chang et al. (2016) conducted a study to determine if there was an answer to the contradicting study results regarding the brain activity in schizophrenics and their siblings. Earlier research has given mixed results stating that schizophrenics have excessive brain activity and others show that they have incoherent activity. The same mixed results showed up in research on siblings of schizophrenics. This study used amplitudes of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF) as well as regional homogeneity (Reho). The used the ALFF and Reho to track the intensity as well as any synchronization of local spontaneous neuronal activity among three groups of participants (Chang et al., 2016).
Repovs and Barch (2012) conducted a study using a similar research design but instead they were looking for how functional connectivity may differ in schizophrenics when there is no cognitive task involved, a light cognitive task, and then a more demanding cognitive task. The study used participants who were diagnosed with schizophrenia and their siblings, and health individuals and their siblings. These four different groups helped to determine if there was any difference between a sibling of an individual with schizophrenia compared to siblings that were not impaired. The study focused on the working memory of the individuals. fMRI scans were used as well as other basic imaging and recall memory assessment activities (Repovs & Barch, 2012).
The study conducted by Chang et al. (2016) was using reliable testing techniques in regards to the neuronal activity that was tracked. The sample size was not very large but did have the randomized factor by comparing the results to not one but two variables (siblings and non-related healthy individuals). Had the sample size been larger the results could likely be more generalizable. The participants were gathered using participants from a other studies the researchers had done. There were 27 participants who were diagnosed with schizophrenia, 27 non effected siblings, and 27 healthy unrelated participants. The research design was used to map the activity in the brain of all three groups in different circumstances so they could compare the results to find any commonalities or clear differences. This method of research helped to determine if there was any validity to the claims of either excessive brain activity or incoherent activity in schizophrenics and their siblings. This study seems to be a quasi-experimental study since it has a group used for comparison but it does not use random assignment (Sherperis, Young & .

Week 3 - News Story
Seeing is Believing
While we can easily become engaged in a print news story that is well-written and tailored for a specific audience, the ability of television to “show us” the news is something that has given it the edge over print news media for decades. Traditional radio also provides us with the “storytelling” aspect where we may find ourselves sitting in the car hanging on to every word of a great news story. This week, you will write a broadcast script for a television news story and for a radio news story. The television script and the radio script will both be designed for the delivery of a story that is 5 minutes in length.
Topic and Sources of Information:
The issue that you choose to write about must be current and have some relevance for your local community, city, and/or state. You must derive the information for this story from
print media only
. You will need to read several print publications for mention of the story and take notes of the facts of the story from several national publications.
For this assignment you must:
Adhere to the
Broadcast Script Template
Summarize facts and/or statistics that are relevant to the story
Develop the story for the local audience
Compare two opposing opinions about the topic
Provide proper attribution for all sources of information included (facts, statistics, images/video, and opinions).
Incorporate at least three visual elements to enhance the television story
Incorporate at least three indirect quotes (citing other sources) to enhance the radio story
A list of each of the sources must be included using the

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

Influenza CLC group essay 11-28-2017
Introduction
Influenza commonly known as flu is a contagious respiratory
infection that attacks the general respiratory system that is, the
nose, throat, and even the lungs. It is caused by the two types of
2. influenza viruses which are influenza A, influenza B and
influenza C (Wang & Tao, 2010). Attacks from both viruses are
epidemic and seasonal as they are common within specific
periods within a year. Attack mechanisms for influenza A
viruses depends on the genes on the surface protein of a patient.
They are normally spread through sneezing and coughing from
an infected individual to the surrounding air (Wang & Tao,
2010).
The flu can also attack an individual in case they get into direct
body tissue contact with an infected individual for example
handshaking. Health professionals argue that the flu virus is
stubborn and spreads mainly over tiny droplets which are
produced when the infected individuals’ cough, talk, and sneeze
(Wang & Tao, 2010). Such droplets are easily carried by the
surrounding air and can be landed in the nose and mouths of the
immediate persons. Additionally, it can enter into one’s system
if he or she gets into direct contact with a surface or object that
has the influenza bacteria and consequently rubs or touches
their nose, mouth or even eyes (Wang & Tao, 2010).
Health departments have overtime identified initiative to
address the problem of influenza, such initiatives include:
Reducing human exposure to the flu viruses, this initiative
works by notifying the public on the safe ways to prevent and
control the spread of the virus and it actively works to reduce
infection opportunities and curbs the spread of the pandemic
virus (Abramson, 2011).
They have built able capacities to cope with the pandemic,
measures have been taken and put in place to cope with the
virus since helping the society to stay free from the virus
(Abramson, 2011).
They have innovated much on early warning and
3. acknowledgments, information about influenza and its impacts
to the society are made clear since it is effective for the society
to stay free from the influenza virus (Abramson, 2011).
Necessary global scientific researches are being carried out and
developments to ensure that vaccines and antiviral drugs are
available across the globe mostly during the seasons which the
virus is spread. The scientific knowledge enables quick and
effective identification of the virus at its initial stages
(Abramson, 2011).
Several measures have been put in place to measure the progress
of the issue. They include;
The World Health Organization has continuously carried out
tests to identify cases of attack by the virus at its early stages
that are in one to four days of an individual’s exposure to the
influenza virus (Tam & Sellwood, 2013).
Materials enlightening the public about the virus and the most
convenient ways to stay free from the attack are being
developed and provisional with all measures that can help curb
and salvage the situation (Tam & Sellwood, 2013).
The current status of the issue based on measures outcomes
clarifies that the globe is well up and at a good place to
overcome the spread of influenza viruses. This has been made
possible by the continuous scientific researchers which develop
antiviral drugs and vaccines which are work to stop the spread
and impacts of the influenza virus upon the general society
(Tam & Sellwood, 2013).

Influenza
Influenza is a highly infectious respiratory illness that mostly
occurs during winter months north of the equator. Influenza,
commonly known as the “flu” occurs between October and
March and with reported outbreaks between September and
May. Signs of influenza include but are not limited to high
fever, myalgia, headache, sore throat, chills and persistent
malaise (Edelman & Mandle, 2006). Each year in the US alone,
influenza and pneumonia result in 114,000 admissions with
36,000 lives lost and costs an estimated $12 billion (Walton,
2016). Edelman and Mandle (2006) discussed the influenza
vaccine markedly reduce the incidence of complications,
hospitalization, and deaths and the vaccine can be given to
anyone above six months unless allergic to it. It’s given with
caution to those with allergies to eggs (Edelman & Mandle,
5. 2006). Contrary to misconception, the most common vaccine is
not made up of the live influenza virus but composed of the
inactivated whole virus or virus subunits grown in chick embryo
cells and given annually (Edelman & Mandle, 2006). Influenza
is a global issue as many in underprivileged countries without
access to adequate health care continue to die from it and there
is a need to rapidly identify the virus and provide proper
treatment, thereby preventing its spread locally and
internationally.
Influence of Health and Socioeconomic Status on Influenza
Though all age groups can contract influenza those with fragile
or weakened immune systems are more severely affected and
include the pregnant women, elderly adults with comorbidities
like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, malignancy,
and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. According to
Walton (2016), children less than two years have the highest
infection rate, but death rates are usually highest among elderly
(age 65 and older). Influenza is associated with low social,
economic status, lack of preventive treatment and poor housing.
Most
of the people affected by influenza lack insurance coverage,
have lower levels of education, are unemployed, lack social
network and travel long distances to medical facilities (Watson,
2016).
Initiatives
Health departments have overtime identified initiatives to
address the problem of influenza, such initiatives include:
reducing human exposure to the flu viruses, this initiative works
by notifying the public on the safe ways to prevent and control
the spread of the virus and it actively works to reduce infection
opportunities and curbs the spread of the pandemic virus
6. (Abramson, 2011). They have built able capacities to cope with
the pandemic, measures have been taken and put in place to
cope with the virus since helping the society to stay free from
the virus (Abramson, 2011). They have innovated much on early
warning and acknowledgements, information about influenza
and its impacts to the society are made clear since it is effective
for the society to stay free from influenza virus (Abramson,
2011). Necessary global scientific researches are being carried
out and developments to ensure that vaccines and antiviral
drugs are available across the globe mostly during the seasons
which the virus is spread. The scientific knowledge enables
quick and effective identification of the virus at its initial
stages (Abramson, 2011). Several measures have been put in
place to measure the progress of the issue. They include; The
world Health Organization has continuously carried out tests to
identify cases of attack by the virus at its early stages that are
in one to four days of a n individual’s exposure to the influenza
virus (Tam & Sellwood, 2013). Materials enlightening the
public about the virus and the most convenient ways to stay free
from the attack are being developed and provisional with all
measures that can help curb and salvage the situation (Tam &
Sellwood, 2013). The status of the issue based on measures
outcomes clarifies that the globe is well up and at a good place
to overcome the spread of influenza viruses. This has been made
possible by continuous scientific researchers which develop
antiviral drugs and vaccines which are to stop the spread and
impacts of the influenza virus upon the general society (Tam &
Sellwood, 2013).
Current Status of Influenza
Global Action Plan for Influenza Vaccines (GAP) is “a
comprehensive strategy to reduce the
present global shortage of influenza vaccines for seasonal
epidemics and pandemic influenza in
7. all countries of the world (GAP, 2017). Initially, GAP was to be
accomplished through three
major approaches: The first GAP approach was to encourage
countries to increase their use of
seasonal influenza vaccine. This would in turn reduce the
disease burden of seasonal influenza
infections, help to contribute towards the preparedness of
industrialized countries to respond to
an eventual pandemic and possibly, most importantly, motivate
industry to develop greater
capacity for manufacturing vaccines (GAP, 2017). The second
GAP approach concentrates on
increasing production capacity for pandemic vaccines. The
short-term goal was established, by
2015 enough vaccine would be produced to immunize two
billion people. Additionally, a long
term goal established to produce enough vaccine to immunize
70% of the world's population
with two doses (GAP, 2017). Lastly, the third GAP approach
addressed the need for the research
community to design more potent and effective vaccines
through use of new technologies.
Progress
8. According to the Global Action Plan, the seasonal influenza
vaccine production
capacity had increased globally from “less than 500 million per
year to nearly 1
billion doses per year” by the end of 2010, and the numbers
have steadily continued
to rise yearly (2017). Additionally, 14 developing countries
have been awarded
grants from WHO to establish in-country manufacturing
capacity for influenza
vaccines to prevent and treat influenza (GAP, 2017). Moreover,
significant progress
has been achieved with new vaccine formulations. Regular
consultations have been
conducted to bring together vaccine researchers and public
health professionals to
discuss pandemic influenza vaccines and vaccines that can
potentially induce broader
spectrum and longer lasting immunity against both seasonal and
pandemic influenza
strains (GAP, 2017). Also, according to Global Action Plan
(2017) sharing of
research information has been made possible through a non-
restricted internet based
9. database to facilitate data sharing on clinical trials. This is
updated and
complemented with data from technical meetings, publications,
and direct contacts
with manufacturers.
Conclusion
From the time of the first documented global pandemic, which
contributed to an estimated
300,000 deaths worldwide, science has been researching and
monitoring influenza (Influenza,
2017). Through initiatives between joint stakeholders much
progress has been made toward
decreasing the number of deaths per year as well as other
serious complications related to
influenza (GAP, 2017). The best line of treatment will always
be preventing and control through
vaccination, early detection, and meticulous hand hygiene.

Influenza is a cross-community pandemic hence requires
attention from all sectors involved in maintaining a
community’s welfare. Therefore both the public and the private
sectors are involved in funding for initiatives to address
influenza and such is achieved through:
For the public sector;
State agencies; which are permanent or temporally bodies
appointed by the government and assigned to oversee and
administer in different areas within the state. State agencies
which are designated with the responsibility to monitor the
health sector and related programs actively provide public
funding in such states ("Funding Applications.org : Choose
Application", 2017).
Federal agencies; are special government organizations set up
for the purpose to manage its resources and offering financial
oversight to ensure accountability. Such units are sources of
public funding to initiatives that address flu in the society
("Funding Applications.org : Choose Application", 2017).
Private corporations; are small business units held by non-
governmental bodies or a small group of shareholders which
offer products and services to the public. Such organizations
offer funds to initiatives directed towards ending the influenza
pandemic as a way of giving back to the society as an ethical
12. practice ("Funding Applications.org : Choose Application",
2017).
Private foundations; are non-profit companies which are created
through an initial donation from an individual or a firm and the
donated funds are managed by the foundation’s trustees and
directors. Initiatives aimed at the control and prevention of
influenza getting funding from all active private organizations
to facilitate their running ("Funding Applications.org : Choose
Application", 2017).
Quality initiatives that address influenza pandemic;
Well calculated and predetermined emergency actions; since the
pandemic attacks as a surprise emergency programs have been
put across as initiatives to stay ready to tackle it anytime, it
knocks hence the health sector has reached a milestone in
fighting it (Wang & Tao, 2010).
Prevention and preparedness to control the effects of the
pandemic; prevention measures against the pandemic include: -
reducing human exposure to influenza virus which is attained
through enlightening the public on the flu and away to possibly
stay free from it. Secondly strengthening early warning systems
which make it possible to note any trace of the flu at its initial
stages and initiate the efforts required to stop its effects. And
thirdly, having adequately developed flu containment operations
(Wang & Tao, 2010).
Preparedness is achieved by having a well build up capacity to
cope with the pandemic and critically investing in developing
new pandemic vaccines and antiviral drugs. Readiness to deal
with the situation just in case it attacks is key to addressing the
pandemic (Wang & Tao, 2010).
Being insured versus being uninsured impacts health outcomes
13. related to influenza differ. Because insured person is covered
against all the dangers that may accrue to him or her as a result
of exposure to the flu hence that is an initiative to enable
persons to remain focused on their daily tasks (Wang & Tao,
2010).
On the other hand, uninsured individuals do not have any cover
or preventative/ control measure that stands between them and
the flu. Therefore in case they are exposed to it thus its impact
will relatively be all over them hence they are not stable enough
while getting through their day to day activities hence the
community suffers some loss (Wang & Tao, 2010).

Topic 4
Ethical principles in the treatment of Influenza are the guiding
statements that the World Health Organization has put across to
guide on efforts directed towards treating, prevention and
control of the pandemic. The Influenza pandemic has been
identified as a health threat for all populations thus calling upon
the intervention of global health organizations (Van-Tam,
2012).
Below are some of the leading ethical principles that are
14. applicable in the treatment of influenza;
The principle which addresses global initiatives that are
reducing the spread of the pandemic through isolation and
putting travel restrictions which subsequently denies them their
freedom of movement. The World Health Organization states
that all persons are obliged to the freedom of movement hence
put such measures which see some populations restricted and
denied their freedom of movement is inappropriate.
Alternatively all societies despite their health status must be
allowed to enjoy their right and privilege of movement with
effective control and prevention measures to curb the spread of
the pandemic (Van-Tam, 2012).
The protection that health workers addressing the pandemic are
obliged to safeguard against the risks which they are exposed to
as they execute their duties. Ethical principles of protecting
healthcare workers who are actively exposed to the dangers of
being infected with the pandemic as they interact with the
infected population. Therefore when the risks to which
healthcare specialists are exposed to are addressed, then they
stand motivated hence maximum delivery while serving the
public (Van-Tam, 2012).
It has been provided that there is a prioritized access to
healthcare resources facilitated by the increased demand and
shortages being experienced from the health provider’s end. The
Influenza pandemic commonly identified with the specific
populations hence such populations have been given priority to
access health services directed towards control, prevention and
preparedness to deal with the epidemic and reduce its fierceness
on them (Van-Tam, 2012).
Population disparities are the differences which are enjoyed by
individuals of different populations in the access and
availability of health facilities and services to curb the spread
15. and impacts of the pandemic in society. Ethical principles
applicable in the treatment of influenza have brought into being
disparities which are influencing the way the community is
protected from the epidemic. Such variations can be eliminated
by manipulating the set principles and coming up with other
ethical principles through a careful consideration of the general
population because influenza pandemic is not selective. Such an
ethic principle will bring uniformity in the service availability
and accessibility (Van-Tam, 2012).
ANA’s code of Ethics for Nurses serves to guide on the
execution of nursing responsibilities in a manner that observes
the quality and standard services while attending to patients.
The ethics ensure that patient’s rights are followed all through
the treatment, and a good quality of the service is assured. In
the other hand, the rights of the nursing specialist subsequently
observed. Therefore the applicable ethical principles consistent
with the ANA’s code ethics for nurses which sees them
appropriate as they respect both sides involved in the
pandemic’s, prevention, control and preparedness (White, 2012)

16. Cultural believes are the integrated patterns of human behavior
that include thoughts and actions. Every cultural practice has
beliefs which guide them on health and disease treatment
decisions which guide on the necessary steps to be followed in
case of an epidemic, in our case “the flu”. In a good number of
cultural practices, family members play vital roles in making
decisions that contribute to healthcare decision making.
Furthermore, a group’s religious faith and spiritual adjustments
direct their behavior on seeking healthcare (Timby, 2009).
Collectively a cultural belief is a collective imagination based
on an invisible thing which is considered real by a given
community and observed as a key role player in the way the
community’s affairs are run (Timby, 2009).
Personal experiences, both positive and negative from medical
administrators and victims influences their individual beliefs
which on the other hand directly influence the nature of
decisions made relating to being vaccinated against flu. For
example, aging populations’ cultural beliefs influence their
likelihood of taking up the influenza vaccine. Therefore such
cultural belief divides them into two groups based on flu
vaccine uptake. That is, there are those that believe that is
likely to catch the flu and are the ones who willingly accept
vaccination against the illness. On the other hand are those that
believe that they are unlikely to catch the flu and are reluctant
to get vaccinated against the epidemic (Timby, 2009).
Beliefs and influence indirectly affect influenza vaccine
administration behavior, since despite the fact that Nurse
Practitioners are trained to apply evidence-based medical
practices while making medical decisions. And contrary to that
the decisions they make are largely affected by their individual
beliefs hence such influence transfers to their healthcare
17. provision (Timby, 2009).
A belief is an individual’s opinion or conviction which has real
prove but is a key player in the way people does things which
come in their day to day living. Provisionally a belief defines
what is to be done, what is to be avoided and what may accrue
to those who do not observe them. Whereas Values relative to
influenza are old grown beliefs which have existed over a given
period of time considerably a long one. They are, therefore,
defined as the standards based on which people plan their lives
and make flu vaccination choices (Ford et al., 2018).
Spiritual and religious beliefs and values have influenced the
progress in addressing flu and getting rid of it from the
community both positively and negatively. From the positive
end, they have boosted the progress in addressing the epidemic
in that; some sect of the beliefs and values motivates the
community to get vaccinated by having medical care specialists
outlining all the benefits linked with the vaccine and also the
dangers that might accrue to them in case they don’t get
vaccinated. Since the flu can only be prevented and not treated
as it is for most of the epidemics the most appropriate and
effective way to stay free from it is through getting vaccinated
(Ford et al., 2018).
On the other hand, spiritual/religious beliefs negatively affect
the progress in addressing the epidemic whereby they direct the
community not to get vaccinated as they believe that they are
least likely to be attacked by the flu hence no need for them to
get vaccinated (Ford et al., 2018).
Influenza epidemic occurs all across the world with much of its
effects falling to the young population, which is the children
who record a seasonal percentage of 20-30% while the adult
population records an estimated 5-10% ("WHO | Seasonal
influenza", 2018). The flu is a seasonal disease that typically
18. occurs during winter months affecting the southern hemisphere
from April to September and the Northern hemispheres over the
months of November to April. And with an unclear seasonal
pattern in the tropical regions ("WHO | Seasonal influenza",
2018). All the governments should carefully consider the data
compiled by the World Health Organization in order for it to
make sure that their populations are kept free from the flu
epidemic.
