IB Geography - Population Trends and Patterns GraphsRichard Allaway
The document contains graphs showing population trends such as birth rates, death rates, infant mortality rates, fertility rates, and life expectancy across various world regions from 1950 to 2010. Overall, birth rates have declined globally while death rates have also fallen. Infant and child mortality rates have significantly decreased worldwide over this period as well. Life expectancy has risen substantially.
Development can encompass many aspects including economic, social, cultural, political and environmental factors. It is debated whether development refers primarily to economic growth, interdependency, demographic changes like life expectancy, mobility and personal wealth, or social factors like quality of life, social justice and equal opportunities. Ultimately, development is likely a combination of these various dimensions.
Lee's Migration Model shows migration between two locations, Location A and Location B. It depicts factors that can push people to leave Location A or pull people to Location B, as well as intervening obstacles between the locations that may hinder migration. The model illustrates the complex interplay of forces that influence people's movement between locations.
The document describes the Rostow Model of economic growth proposed by American economist W.W. Rostow in 1960. The model suggests that all countries progress through 5 stages of growth: traditional society, preconditions for take-off, take-off, drive to maturity, and high mass consumption. It also shows how the employment structure shifts from primarily agricultural to industrialized to service-based at each stage.
Regions of Florida most at risk from Hurricane Irma include southeast coastal areas like Miami due to projected strong winds, heavy rainfall and storm surge that could cause flooding in densely populated low-lying areas. Maps of Florida's elevation, population density and Irma's projected path and impacts indicate southern regions are most vulnerable to the hurricane's dangers.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help alleviate symptoms of mental illness and boost overall mental well-being.

The IB Geography syllabus specifies several skills that should be mastered during the course. The skills are not assessed explicitly in external exams but they are assessed implicitly via data response questions and the expectations of quality essays. The internal assessment based on geographic fieldwork and geography extended essays are the main ways that students have opportunity to demonstrate their geographic skills.
Sri Lanka has made extraordinary progress in eliminating malaria, reducing cases from over 500,000 in the early 20th century to just 17 reported cases in 2015. However, malaria elimination faces ongoing challenges, as imported malaria from travelers and migrants is increasing. Sustaining malaria elimination requires continued vigilance, such as ensuring all cases are properly treated according to guidelines, conducting case investigation and response, and preparedness for potential outbreaks. Cooperation with neighboring countries is also important to address the ongoing risk of imported malaria hampering elimination efforts.
This document discusses different methods of disease transmission including direct contact, indirect contact through fomites, droplets, airborne transmission, fecal-oral transmission, and vector-borne transmission. It also outlines common strategies for managing disease spread, which generally involve identifying infected individuals, providing early and aggressive treatment, implementing quarantine measures, conducting mass education efforts, and performing immunizations.

This Slidecast is one of a series showcasing the ways in which teachers at the International School of Manila have adapted their teaching to better facilitate sustainability education
This document lists 5 types of organizations: NGOs, community based groups, trade unions, academic institutions, and faith based organizations. It does not provide any additional details about these organization types or their purpose.
This document discusses spatially representing variables from the KOF Index of Globalization. It maps out core network hubs of global interaction based on different components of economic and social globalization, including actual economic flows, restrictions on flows, personal contact through tourism, information flows through internet usage, and cultural proximity based on McDonald's restaurants. It also maps the spatial pattern of political globalization based on the number of embassies in each country.
South Africa's HIV/AIDS Management StrategiesTom McLean

Evaluating the impact of HIV/AIDS from the local to international levelsTom McLean
Within South Africa, HIV/AIDS prevalence is more than 18% in two of its districts and more than 14% nationally. It is a major cause of death in South Africa, where life expectancy has dropped from 64 years to 56 years from 1990 to 2017 due to HIV/AIDS. The epidemic heavily affects other countries in southern Africa as well. UNAIDS data shows that HIV prevalence in South Africa has stabilized in recent years after a major decline, but the disease continues to have significant economic and social impacts.

HIV/AIDS has had significant geographic impacts across local, national, and international scales in South Africa. At the local level, the disease has disproportionately affected the poor and black populations due to factors like poverty, lack of education, and sexual violence. Nationally, South Africa has seen its life expectancy drop dramatically and around 10% of its population is HIV positive, putting strain on healthcare resources. Internationally, HIV/AIDS has reduced life expectancy in many African countries and is now the fourth leading cause of death globally, with an estimated 36 million people infected worldwide mostly in developing areas.

The document examines the geographic factors responsible for the spread of HIV/AIDS in South Africa. It discusses trends in HIV prevalence over time as well as patterns across regions. Socio-cultural factors like apartheid, stigma, and gender inequality increased women's vulnerability and reduced access to services. Politically, former President Mbeki downplayed the epidemic. Economically, prevention was prioritized over treatment due to costs. Overall, the document analyzes how geography, socio-cultural issues, politics, and economics contributed to HIV/AIDS in South Africa with prevention emphasized more than treatment.
This slideshow demonstrates how students can create products that are useful for other people while learning the curriculum of IB subjects. It illustrates the ways in which students can receive feedback about the value of their work from internet based civil society.
Haiti earthquake - Adjustments and Responses (Correct Ver) Tom McLean
The 2010 Haiti earthquake caused significant damage and loss of life due to factors such as high poverty levels, lack of earthquake-resistant infrastructure, and weak government institutions. The response faced challenges including a lack of rescue resources, slow international aid, and long-term issues of poverty, corruption, and underdeveloped civil services that hindered reconstruction. The magnitude 7.0 earthquake was devastating as Haiti was unprepared for such a major seismic event.
