Drug discoverydevelopment2011
The document outlines the multi-step process of drug discovery and development. Key steps include:
1) Choosing a disease target and drug target. Common targets are diseases in developed countries.
2) Identifying a "lead compound" with some bioactivity against the target through screening natural products, synthetic libraries, or modifying existing drugs.
3) Optimizing the lead through structure-activity relationship studies and analog synthesis to improve potency and selectivity and identify the pharmacophore responsible for activity.
4) Testing analogs in animal and human clinical trials to determine toxicity, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics before patenting and commercialization. The process aims to continually improve drug properties while avoiding side effects.
Brief history of science, and technology
Modern humans first arrived in the Philippines around 48,000 BC, settling in various regions and developing simple stone tools. By around 3,000 BC, Filipinos were producing pottery, adzes, and ornaments and entered the Iron Age between the 3rd century BC and 11th century AD, learning iron smelting. They established trade networks with China and Vietnam by the 10th century AD. Under Spanish rule from the 16th century, schools and hospitals were developed and the Royal Economic Society encouraged agriculture and industry. Higher education was limited but the University of Santo Tomas offered medicine and pharmacy degrees in the 19th century. Meteorological studies were also promoted during this time.
Health is wealth
We are making two points in this presentation. First, health itself is the greatest wealth. Second, if one is healthy only than he/she can work productively for income generation activities. In addition, we will mention a few proven practices by which we can maintain our health.
Science and Technology Studies presentation
Science and Technology Studies (STS) examines how science and technology shape society and how society shapes the development of science and technology. There are several perspectives in STS, including the sociology of scientific knowledge which questions the idealized accounts of the scientific process. Actor-network theory, developed by Bruno Latour, examines how scientific knowledge is produced through relationships between human and non-human actors. The field also studies topics like the influence of gender on scientific fields and work-family conflicts in academia. The Sokal Affair showed how scientific jargon can be misused and highlighted tensions between natural and social scientists.

The document discusses the causes and effects of global warming as well as resolutions like the Kyoto Protocol, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and individual actions that can be taken to address the issue.
Global Warming powerpoint
Global warming refers to the rising average temperature of the Earth due to increased greenhouse gas emissions. The greenhouse effect occurs when heat from the sun is trapped in the atmosphere by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide, causing the planet to warm up. The main causes of global warming include the burning of fossil fuels for energy and transportation, which releases greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, as well as deforestation and decomposition in landfills. Results of global warming include melting glaciers and rising sea levels which flood coastal areas, destruction of forests by acid rain and increased wildfires, and threats to plants, animals, and humans.
Climate Change Presentation
The document discusses the major causes and effects of climate change. The main causes are natural factors like changes in Earth's orbit and methane release from tundra, as well as human factors such as burning fossil fuels, deforestation, industrial pollution, and increased population. Some effects of rising temperatures include melting ice and glaciers, rising sea levels, more extreme weather, and disrupted animal habitats. The document also briefly mentions alternative energy sources and individual actions people can take to help address climate change.

GLOBAL WARMING (GOOD PRESENTATION)
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane trapping heat in the atmosphere. This is warming the planet and causing sea levels to rise, harming plants and animals. One contributor is burning fossil fuels which release pollutants into the air. Cutting down forests also exacerbates the problem since trees absorb carbon dioxide. To address global warming, people are carpooling, conserving energy, and governments are implementing acts like the Clean Air Act to reduce industrial and vehicle emissions. Protecting the environment is important for health, safety, and longevity.
Global warming causes and effects
Global warming poses serious threats to human health and the environment. Individual actions like reducing energy usage and advocating for sustainable policies can help address the problem. Nurses are well-positioned to educate about impacts of climate change and encourage solutions through their work in communities, organizations, and with policymakers. Collective efforts are needed at all levels to mitigate global warming and its effects.
Global Warming
Global warming is caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions from human activities like burning fossil fuels and deforestation. The main greenhouse gases are carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Global warming has led to increased global temperatures, rising sea levels, and more extreme weather events. If it continues unchecked, global warming will have severe environmental and economic consequences, including risks to food production, increased disease, and population displacement due to flooding. Both government policies and individual actions are needed to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the effects of climate change.
Climate change powerpoint
This document discusses climate change and provides information about the difference between weather and climate. It explains that climate is affected by both abiotic and biotic factors. Greenhouse gases are essential to our climate by trapping heat in our atmosphere. However, human activity has increased greenhouse gas levels, resulting in global warming.

Position proposal paper 2010
This paper discusses the growing problem of prescription drug abuse in the United States. It examines the roles of physicians overprescribing drugs, pharmaceutical companies aggressively marketing drugs, and individuals needing to take responsibility for their health. The paper argues that while prescription drugs can help some patients, too many are prescribed unnecessarily or dangerously. Physicians should recommend lifestyle changes before drugs, and individuals should research alternatives to newly prescribed drugs which are often pushed by pharmaceutical advertising. Overall responsibility lies with physicians to consider patient well-being over profits, pharmaceutical companies to curb misleading marketing, and individuals to make informed health decisions.

- 4. You say Marijuana, we think: It’s Cannabis NOT WEED! It’s medcine NOT a drug! Cannabis saves lives like OURS and thousands of others we know.
- 7. Cannabis can save lives and help with symptoms from several diseases and other medical issues. Medicinal use is legal in NM. We live in a city that has several choices between despensaries to obtain medicine. Patients can request permssion (a license) to grow their own medicine. Ability to cut down or quit using pharmaceuticals on a daily basis. New jobs. Increase in local economic revenue.
- 8. Stereotype that surrounds marijuana, cannabis, pot, weed, whatever you want to call it. It’s illegal federally. Lack of regulations for growing and dispensing medication. Lack of knowledge by despensary bud tenders in NM of which strains help with what symptoms or diseases. Lack of knowledge regarding different ways to intake medicine. Lack of proper dosage informtion for each individual patient. Lack of proper testing of medicine prior to despensing to patient. Lack of insurance coverage Lack of your primary doctor or medical specialist to feel safe prescribing cannabis even though they believe in it’s efficiency High out of pocket expense to patients. Age limitations in some states for medicinal use. Not all diseases, disabilities, symptoms that cannabis can help with are approved for medicinal use. Lack of sufficient safe accessability to medicate wherver they are at the moment. Not permitted to carry medicine with you wherever needed. It’s a felony to take medicine out of state with you….your either trapped or a criminal.
