This document discusses the challenges faced by clinical librarians in three sentences or less. It outlines barriers like restricted access to resources on hospital networks for nurses and slow internet speeds. It also notes that clinical librarians must understand hospital and academic politics as well as how to have the most impact and stay relevant with changing technologies like mobile devices and electronic health records. Advocacy and providing information in unrestricted formats are discussed as ways to overcome challenges.
Health has gained recognition as a foreign policy concern in recent years. Political leaders increasingly address global health problems within their international relations agendas. The confluence of health and foreign policy has opened these issues to analysis that helps clarify the tenets and determinants of this linkage, offering a new framework for international health policy. Yet as health remains profoundly bound to altruistic values, caution is required before generalizing about the positive outcomes of merging international health and foreign policy principles. In particular, the possible side-effects of this framework deserve further consideration. This paper examines the interaction of health and foreign policy in humanitarian action, where public health and foreign policy are often in direct conflict. Using a case-based approach, this analysis shows that health and foreign policy need not be at odds in this context, although there are situations where altruistic and interest-based values compete. The hierarchy of foreign policy functions must be challenged to avoid misuse of national authority where health interventions do not coincide with national security and domestic interests
LESSONS LEARNED FROM PAST NOTABLE DISASTERS: FLOODING. For centuries, china has enperienced record flooding associated with the rainey season or typhoons. Impacts of flooding in china during 2007: Floods alone killed more than 1,348 people in China during 2007. Economic losses from floods reached more than $10 billion USD. An estimated 139 million people were adversely affected by floods. As many as 2.7 million were evacuated in advance of a single potential flood event.

Each disaster is an opportunity to add to the “global book of knowledge” on occurrences, consequences, and disaster risk reduction measures. 2014--2020 is a good time for a global surge in educational, technical, health care, and political capacity building in all five pillars of community disaster resilience. All past disasters demonstrate the urgency of becoming disaster resilient. Premise: a disaster on the same scale should never happen twice in a community.

The health district conducted an investigation that included collecting questionnaires from exposed patients about their medical history and testing results. Over 7,000 questionnaires were processed and organized. The investigation identified two source cases of Hepatitis C transmission related to procedures at the clinics in July and September 2007.

Business cycles have four phases: expansion, peak, recession, and trough. Expansion is a period of economic growth where output, employment, and income rise. At the peak, the economy reaches full employment and inflation rises. The recession follows as output declines. The recession bottoms out at the trough, where there is a general reduction in economic activity. Theories of business cycles include endogenous theories related to monetary policy, investment, consumption, and psychology, as well as exogenous theories concerning external factors like wars.
