This integrated media series is about my interest in humanity’s ecological footprint; a measurement of society’s demand on the environment and an approach to sustainability. It is a balancing act of resource consumption and waste discharge, every action taken towards using nature’s resources has an impact on Earth’s ecosystems, however is society playing fairly, or are they misplacing the value of nature in the act of mass consumption?

INTRODUCTION
Understanding of health is basic of all health are.
Health cannot be perceived the same way by all the members of community including various professional groups (e.g. – biomedical scientist, social science specialist, health administrator, ecologist, etc) giving rise to confusion about the concept of health.
Health has evolved over the centuries as a concept for an individual concern to a worldwide social goal and encompasses the whole quality of life.
A brief account of the changing concepts of health is as follows,
1.BIOMEDICAL CONCEPT
Traditionally health has been viewed as an absence of disease and if one was free from disease then the person was considered healthy. This concept known as “biomedical concept” has the basis in the germ theory of disease, which eliminated medical thought at the turn of the 20th century.
The medical profession viewed the human body as a machine, disease as a consequence of breakdown of the machine and one of the doctor’s tasks as repair the machine. Thus, health in this narrow view became the ultimate goal of medicine.
The criticism that is levelled against the biomedical concept is that it has minimised the role of the environmental, social, psychological and cultural determinants of health.
The biomedical model, for all its spectacular success in treating disease was found inadequate to solve some of the major health problems of mankind (e.g. – malnutrition, chronic disease, mental illness, environmental pollution, population explosion) by elaborating the medical technologies.
Development in medical and social sciences led to conclusion that the biomedical concept of health was inadequate.
2.ECOLOGICAL CONCEPT
Deficiencies in the biomedical concept gave rise to other concepts.
The ecologist put forward an attractive hypothesis which viewed health as a dynamic equilibrium between maladjustment of the human organism to environment.
Dubos defined health saying, “Health implies the relative absence of pain and discomfort and a continuous adaptation and adjustment to the environment to ensure optimal function”.
Human ecological and cultural adaptations to determine not only the occurrence of disease but also the availability of food and population explosion.
The ecological concept raises two issues, viz. imperfect man and imperfect enviroment.
History argues strongly that improvement in human adaptation to natural environment can lead to longer life expectancy and a better quality of life even in absence of modern health delivery system
3.PSYCHOSOCIAL CONCEPT
Contemporary development in social sciences revealed that health is not only a biomedical phenomenon but one which is influenced by social, psychological, economic and political factors of the people concern.
The factors must be taken into consideration in defining and measuring health and both a biological and social phenomenon.
4.HOLISTIC CONCEPT
The holistic concept model is a synthesis of all the above concept.
This is part 1 of a two part session deliver for a Common Awards (Theology, Ministry and Mission, University of Durham) course on health and the Church. The first part focuses on a theological perspective and the second part focuses on public health perspectives

Abstract
The African American community to date has a plight to destroy the foundation
of the diseases called morbid obesity and diabetes by any means necessary. These
two contributing diseases that have created deplorable health disparities within the
African American community have brought together many health educators and
public health workers to create a doable plan of action in the Now.This plan that will
be implement devises a new viable health SEM (social ecological model) within the
African American communities of all classes to ensure healthier outcomes, for the
betterment of the country and depletion of the underlined health care issues of morbid
obesity and diabetes. Creating an agenda of consortiums, synopsis, debates and a
CBPR (Community Based Participatory Research) boards with proven results must
work in conjunction with the patients and the community. Within this essay paper I
will discuss aspects of a proposed plan that has an objective mission for approval by a
governing board and to be permissible and agreed upon for approved grant funding.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

The need for a global health ethic

The need for a global health ethic
In the 1940s, the renowned Wisconsin, USA, con-
servationist Aldo Leopold wrote “The Land Ethic” as the
culmination of his now celebrated work, A Sand County
Almanac.1
In his essay, Leopold articulated the need for,
and the ethical basis of, a new relationship between
people and the land. He imagined the awakening of an
ecological conscience that redefines humanity as part
of nature, rather than its external conqueror. The dire
conservation challenges he observed—soil erosion,
water pollution, and wildlife loss—required solutions
based not merely on ecological expediency, but on
ethical conviction. “That land is a community is the basic
concept of ecology,” he wrote, “but that land is to be
loved and respected is an extension of ethics”.1
We posit that Leopold’s vision for the land can
and should be extended to global health. Like the
environmental challenges of Leopold’s time, the global
health challenges of today have become impossible to
ignore. Widening health disparities, pollution of the
land, water, and atmosphere, and the emergence of
new and zoonotic infections threaten everyone. How
can we, as a society, commit to addressing issues of
such magnitude, for which the pace of progress will be
measured in generations?
The solution might lie in the very fabric of an ethic,
as Leopold envisioned: “All ethics so far evolved rest
upon a single premise: that the individual is a member
of a community of interdependent parts.” Applied
to global health, the health of each of us is linked to
the health of all the rest. Our community already
understands this as a general concept, but we have yet
to translate it into a guiding principle. The inherent
interdependency of health (human and otherwise)
should, by extending Leopold’s reasoning, be the
philosophical basis for a global health ethic.
Fortunately, the idea of health as an interconnected
entity is taking root. The “one health”2
and “planetary
health”3
concepts capture this trend by emphasising
the links between human health, animal health,
and the environment, in accord with the report of
The Rockefeller Foundation–Lancet Commission on
Planetary Health.4
Extension of Leopold’s vision to
global health will therefore seem natural to many
people. Nevertheless, it will still take effort to ingrain
this worldview into the world’s collective conscience,
ultimately creating the “respect for the community”
that Leopold recognised as the core motivator for
sustained societal change.
Nowadays, society remains far from a global health
ethic, partly because of the primacy of economics.
Leopold insisted that mere monetary valuation
undermines the very notion of an ethic. “A system
of conservation based solely on economic self-
interest is hopelessly lopsided,” he wrote. Might the
recent proliferation of global health organisations in
academia, government, and the private sector, tied to
institutions driven by economic incentives, actually be
impeding the development of a global health ethic?
Growing unease exists about the use of economic
metrics for gauging progress, shown by the intriguing
search for alternatives to gross domestic product,5
but
such efforts do not generally consider that the higher
goal might be the establishment of new ethical norms.
In this light, we emphasise that our vision for a global
health ethic is distinct from the noble but separate
goal of identifying and correcting health disparities.
Fair allocation of resources has to circumscribe any
effort to improve global health, but it would fall short
as a core principle for why such improvement might be
sought in the first place. Rather, invoking Leopold, we
argue that global health will most lastingly be achieved
by raising the need for it to the sphere of ethics.
Leopold wisely declined to elaborate the particulars
of the land ethic. “I have purposely presented the land

ethic as a product of social evolution because nothing
so important as an ethic is ever ‘written’.” An ethic, to
be an ethic, has to develop in the minds of a thinking
community—ie, the people who will live by it—and
not be thrust upon them. Leopold’s vision defines the
very essence of just and participatory governance. For
this reason, we purposely do not suggest herein what
specific doctrines or goals might be contained within
a global health ethic. Instead, we leave these to social
evolution and encourage the debate.
We also do not specify how a new ethic should be
nurtured. The obvious answer is increased education,
but Leopold himself was sceptical. “No one will
debate this, but is it certain that only the volume of
education needs stepping up? Is something lacking
in the content as well?” Leopold offered little else,
except, “One of the requisites for an ecological
comprehension of land is an understanding of ecology,
and this is by no means coextensive with ‘education’.”
We see a similar deficit of ecological understanding
and a parallel need for connected thinking in health
education nowadays.
Leopold’s “The Land Ethic” consolidated the modern
conservation movement. At present, the global health
movement is broad but ill defined, inspired by a sense
of urgent purpose (staving off ill health around the
world), but without the single, deeply internalised,
central guiding principle that, according to Leopold,
impels sustained societal commitment. Following
Leopold, we advocate for a global health ethic that
not only galvanises the world’s efforts, but also does
so by inspiring “an internal change in our intellectual
emphasis, loyalties, affections, and convictions”.
Despite its profundity, “The Land Ethic” remains
principally a literary achievement; the philosophical
aspiration at its core has not, as Leopold hoped,
transformed society. Near the end of his essay,
Leopold presciently writes, “Perhaps the most
serious obstacle impeding the evolution of a land
ethic is the fact that our educational and economic
system is headed away from, rather than toward,
an intense consciousness of land.” We admit that,
in the present, resource-limited, hypereconomised
world, our plea for a new ethical norm to guide global
health might seem quixotic. Even so, each and every
one of us, individually and through our relationships,
will experience an intense consciousness of health—
whether we live in a city in Africa or the woods of
Wisconsin. Perhaps this shared reality might yet
inspire the development of a global health ethic that
all of society eventually embraces.
