This document discusses the poor living conditions and lack of hygiene in London during the industrial age that contributed to epidemics. It mentions overcrowded, unsanitary housing without access to clean water or waste removal. It then introduces Dr. John Snow and his work investigating a cholera outbreak in London in 1854, developing the hypothesis that contaminated water was spreading the disease. Through his analysis and convincing local officials to remove the handle of a certain water pump, Snow was able to prove his theory and help end the epidemic.

The challenge of life
A discussion on power of life and the strong interconnection between the various organisms and the socio -economic and cultural existence of society
History 140. Theme 1
History is the unbiased study of past events and their causes in order to avoid repeating mistakes. Genetic mapping shows all humans originated from Africa and share characteristics like eye shape and skin color despite diversifying. Natural disasters like volcanic eruptions can influence history by altering climate and crop yields, as occurred before the French Revolution. Pre-Columbian civilizations in the Americas like the Maya and Inca created complex societies and survived harsh environments, contrary to European views of indigenous people as savages. Spain funded Columbus' voyage hoping to expand Catholic rule against other influences and establish European dominance.
Untitled document
The Black Death pandemic in the 14th century devastated Europe, killing an estimated one-third to over half of the population. This cataclysmic event weakened states and societies for decades, indirectly enabling the rise of new heretical Christian groups and the subsequent formation of the Inquisition. It also eroded faith in the clergy and church, paving the way for social reforms and a shift toward more secular authority. Ultimately, the Black Death had profound and long-lasting impacts across Europe, permanently changing its economic, social, and political structures in both direct and indirect ways.
Plagues And People by: Geetha Mahendran
Plagues have had a significant impact on human populations throughout history. Parasites spread disease which often killed large portions of populations that lacked immunity. This led to societal changes as populations developed immunities or declined. The rise of trade networks helped spread plagues to new populations without prior exposure, like the Black Death in Europe. The colonization of the Americas also introduced new diseases, devastating indigenous populations. Advances like vaccines have helped control plagues, but the relationship between parasites and people remains an ongoing factor in human development.

This document provides an overview of an interdisciplinary course titled "Plagues and Peoples" that examines the interactions between disease, healers, and patients throughout history. The course covers topics like the Black Death, the spread of disease during colonial times, milestones in microbiology, and recent epidemics. Students will develop projects using technologies like Windows Photostory3, Wikispaces, Blogspot, and iMovie to demonstrate their understanding of course content and recent disease events. The goal is for students to gain a basic understanding of infectious disease transmission and the connections between epidemics and history.
The Black Death (Final Draft)
1) In 1347, a plague known as the Black Death spread from Asia to Europe through trade routes, killing over 20 million people within five years as it spread across the continent.
2) Due to the lack of medical knowledge at the time, many Christians believed the plague was a divine punishment from God for sins such as corruption in the church or failure to fully participate in the Crusades.
3) This belief led Christians to persecute groups they deemed responsible for their sins, most notably Jews, resulting in massacres of thousands across Europe as a way to regain God's favor and stop the plague.

The document discusses the events of 2014 in Scotland and around the world. It summarizes that 2014 saw immense tragedy worldwide including from Ebola, violence, and warfare. However, it also saw the rise of a powerful independence movement in Scotland that galvanized the people and gave them hope. Though the referendum to leave the UK failed, the Yes movement showed that people can empower themselves and transform their lives by taking control where possible. It suggests this movement sparked hope that could inspire change beyond Scottish independence.

Week 7 focused on cultural shifts in fin de siècle Europe. Established traditions and norms were increasingly challenged as urban growth led to new experiences and anxieties. Views of human nature as changeable and volatile ruled by urges rather than just reason grew. An interconnected world emerged through technology and inventions capturing this period of economic and technological optimism. Urban public spaces like boulevards and new structures like department stores brought both excitement and alienation as modern life accelerated.

Medieval Europe Lesson 6 - The Black Death
The Black Death originated in China in the 14th century and was caused by the bubonic plague bacteria. It spread along trade routes to the Middle East and then to Europe via trade established after the Crusades. In Europe, it killed an estimated 25-50% of the population between 1347-1351 due to lack of medical knowledge and unsanitary living conditions exacerbated by killing of cats. The plague devastated societies at all levels and contributed to the decline of feudalism and the Catholic Church by reducing the labor force and weakening existing social structures.
Medieval Europe Lesson 6 - The Black Death
The Bubonic Plague originated in China and spread along the Silk Road to the Middle East. It was carried by fleas on rodents like rats, which could transmit the bacteria to humans. The Crusades opened up trade between Europe and the Middle East, allowing the plague to spread into Europe. Between 1347-1351, 25-50% of Europe's population died from the plague. The plague devastated societies and economies, causing people to abandon the feudal system and move to cities.

History, Science, and Trade
The document discusses several topics related to history, science, and trade. It summarizes a research project that used genetic analysis to trace human migration patterns out of Africa around 60,000 years ago. It also describes a theory that a large volcanic eruption in 535 AD caused global climate changes that may have contributed to the fall of major civilizations. Additionally, it challenges common misconceptions about pre-Columbian societies in the Americas and their impact on the environment.

It also summarizes books about New England's role in the Cold War involving military bases and weapons, and a political thriller about a conflict over Taiwan. It concludes with listings of contract projects for local history books and Eamon's other roles as an author and editor.
Coronavirus days in the past
During the Black Death:
- Travel was difficult as people tried to escape infection by moving from cities. Doctors had questionable qualifications and treatments were ineffective, including bloodletting and potions. The only effective prevention was quarantining the sick.
- Entertainment included playing with bones, dolls, wooden swords, and balls. Schools declined with high mortality among scholars, and some universities closed entirely. The plague contributed to the rise of English and decline of Latin.
Class 14 Hydesville Fenomena
The document provides instructions for a Sunday class, including a 2-minute video about taking care of the Earth and watching part of a YouTube video about the Fox Sisters story. It then discusses how psychic phenomena have existed throughout human history as described in religious texts and biographies. It notes that the Hydesville manifestations with the Fox sisters in 1848 marked the beginning of studies on communication between the spirit world and living world. Such phenomena as noises and moving furniture were meant to transform religious conceptions of time.
The Black Death
The Black Death was a devastating plague that originated in China in the 1330s and spread to Europe in the late 1340s. It was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and was transmitted between humans by fleas. The plague caused high fevers, chills, swollen lymph nodes, and black lesions on the skin. It killed around a third of Europe's population and had profound social and economic impacts, including the abandonment of churches and monasteries. Governments had no effective responses and mass graves had to be used for burial due to the overwhelming number of deaths.

It describes how the plague is caused by the Yersinia pestis bacterium and causes severe symptoms. It had devastating effects on European populations and society in the 14th century, with mass graves needed to bury the huge numbers of victims. Quarantines and trade restrictions were attempted to slow the spread, but it continued to ravage populations.
Black Death Pp
The Black Death plague originated in Asia and spread along trade routes to Europe in the 14th century. Carried by rat fleas, it devastated the European population, killing an estimated 25 million people, or 1/4 of the total population. The plague had widespread economic, social, and religious impacts including labor shortages, anti-semitism, a decline in the power of the church, and increased realism in the arts depicting death.
Malaria Linkedin
Malaria is a disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus, which are transmitted through mosquito bites. The parasites multiply in the liver and infect red blood cells, contributing to over a million deaths per year, mostly in children under 5. Four species can cause malaria infections. Critical roles for two falcipain proteins suggest they are good targets for new antimalarial drugs, as resistance is growing to currently used treatments like chloroquine and artemisinin. More research is still needed to develop new strategies to overcome drug resistance, which kills millions each year.

The document discusses how improved sanitation and hygiene, rather than vaccines, were primarily responsible for the eradication of infectious diseases in developed nations in the 19th-20th centuries. It provides numerous examples of how overcrowded and unsanitary living conditions in the 1700-1900s were breeding grounds for diseases, while the introduction of clean water, sewage systems, and modern amenities led to decreased disease rates. The document argues that vaccines are often credited excessively and that disease rates were already in decline before most vaccines due to improvements in standards of living.

Marie Curie
Marie Sklodowska Curie was a pioneering female scientist who made groundbreaking discoveries in radioactivity. She was the first woman to win a Nobel Prize, which she received in 1903 along with her husband Pierre Curie and Henri Becquerel for their research on radioactivity. She was later awarded a second Nobel Prize, making her the only person to win Nobel Prizes in two different sciences. Her discoveries of radium and polonium transformed scientific understanding of atomic structure and nuclear power. Though her work exposed her to dangerous levels of radiation, she remained deeply committed to scientific truth and its ability to improve lives. Her life and work inspired many, especially in America where she was warmly received during visits in the 1920s
The Ghost Map Patricia Hill
The document summarizes Steven Johnson's book "The Ghost Map" which tells the story of the 1854 cholera outbreak in London. It describes how Dr. John Snow used an early map to track deaths around a contaminated water pump, helping prove his theory that cholera was spread through water and disproving prevailing theories that it was spread through air. The outbreak led to advances in public health policy and modernized sewage systems and disease prevention. The document provides biographical details on the author Steven Johnson and analyzes the book's structure, thesis, sources, and evidence presented in chapters on London's sanitation problems and Snow's research tracing the outbreak to a specific water pump.

Epidemiology cholera, ebola, hiv aids
Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events in specified populations, and the application of this study to control health problems. This document discusses epidemiology and provides details on cholera, including its history and causes. It describes how John Snow used epidemiology to discover that cholera is spread through contaminated water by tracing a cholera outbreak in London back to a contaminated water pump. It also discusses the "miasma theory" of disease transmission via air that was previously widely accepted, as well as the scientists who first discovered the cholera bacteria and advocated for improved sanitation to prevent disease.
The victorian age (1830 1901)
The document provides information about life in Britain during the Victorian Era from 1837 to 1901. It discusses several key aspects of the period including the British Empire's expansion, industrialization and economic success, social reforms related to voting rights and labor laws, urbanization and problems of poverty/living conditions, and moral/family values emphasized by Victorians. It also mentions scientific/technological advances, art/literature of the time, and contradictions between prosperity versus social issues within Victorian society.

Salient features of Victorian age
The document summarizes the salient features of the Victorian Age in British literature. It discusses 11 key features including the rise of the novel and prose, literature as a tool for social reform, a revolt against materialism through works exploring legends and myths, literature focusing on moral messages and purpose, varying themes of pessimism, optimism and idealism, the impact of science, themes of patriotism and humanity, and the rise of literary realism depicting contemporary social problems with less romanticism. Major authors of the period discussed include Dickens, Thackeray, the Brontës, Eliot, Hardy, Ruskin, Carlyle, Tennyson and Browning.
Ancient Latrines
This document discusses how ancient human health and disease were shaped by cultural and technological developments like the rise of sedentism, urbanization, and population movement. It provides examples of how the 2,000-year-old latrines along the Silk Road provided evidence of the transmission of liver flukes from China to Europe, and how advances in sanitation in ancient Rome did not necessarily reduce pathogen exposure due to issues with their sewage systems. The document emphasizes that human innovations have not always benefited health, and provides additional resources on these topics.
Book Review: "Another World, A Different Life"
This document summarizes and reviews a science fiction novel called "Another World, A Different Life" by Andrew W. Cox. It describes the author's background and explains the key themes and plot of the story, which centers around two main characters who are abducted from London by aliens and subjected to experiments and genetic modifications before being transported to another planet. The review highlights the novel's exploration of how the characters adapt to surviving in a primitive society on an alien world and how they interact with the local inhabitants.
Frankenstein intro and research project intro
Mary Shelley began writing Frankenstein at age 18 in response to a challenge from Lord Byron. The novel helped establish the Gothic genre and tells the story of Victor Frankenstein who creates a monster through an scientific experiment. Frankenstein has inspired many horror stories and films, most famously the 1931 film starring Boris Karloff as the monster. The novel examines how technology and science can overstep human boundaries as Frankenstein seeks to control life and death in a god-like manner.
140 as 1
1. The document discusses the history of human migration out of Africa beginning around 60,000 years ago. Genetic evidence suggests all modern humans can trace their DNA back to one man in Africa from that time period.
2. Around 45,000 years ago, humans developed advanced cognitive abilities like symbolic thought that allowed them to spread throughout the world. They created art, built sturdier structures, and developed broader diets.
3. New technologies like DNA testing, carbon dating, and satellite imagery have helped historians solve mysteries by narrowing search areas and learning more about the past. However, technology cannot replace understanding the human context of events.
HOMO DOMESTICUS: Theory
This document introduces the concept of "Homo domesticus" which theorizes that humans have undergone domestication through the built environment throughout history. It defines domestication as conditioning by architecture and housing, while taming refers to other techniques like ideology and science. The document surveys other authors who have discussed aspects of human domestication without using the term "Homo domesticus," such as how sedentism, ideology, and technology have domesticated humans. It argues that domestication distorts human ontology by establishing the context of the built environment, and that humans have been domesticated for generations by living within architecture.
What is history
1. The document discusses several historical mysteries that have been solved through advances in modern technology, including the Shroud of Turin, the remains of Anastasia Romanov, and Amelia Earhart's disappearance.
2. It also summarizes geneticist Spencer Wells' research which used DNA evidence to support the "single origin hypothesis" that all humans originated from ancestors in Africa around 60,000 years ago before migrating worldwide.
3. Additionally, it discusses how the Columbian Exchange dramatically changed global plant and animal life through the transference of species between the Old World and New World, with both benefits and consequences.
Black Plague and Alchemy
The document provides details about the Black Plague (Black Death) that devastated Europe in the 14th century:
- It was a bacterial disease spread by fleas on rodents that transmitted the plague to humans.
- Symptoms included swollen and painful lymph nodes, as well as fever and chills. Victims usually died within a week.
- The plague arrived in Europe in 1348 and is estimated to have killed 25-50% of the population over the next three years. It had devastating social and economic impacts.
Witchcraft bib
The document summarizes the history and development of the Witchcraft Bibliography Project. It began as a bibliography started by Jeffrey Merrick to support his teaching on early modern European witchcraft. After expanding the bibliography while teaching at various universities, Merrick passed responsibility for maintaining and expanding the bibliography to Richard Golden in 1996. Golden has since overseen expanding the bibliography's scope while it remains available online through the University of North Texas history department website. Golden is now seeking someone to take over responsibility for the ongoing bibliography.
Origin of Species LaShawn Williams
This document provides historical context on realism and naturalism as literary movements before summarizing Charles Darwin's life and work, specifically his 1859 book On the Origin of Species. The book introduced Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, arguing that species evolve over generations through a process of inherited variations and natural selection. It was highly controversial at the time for contradicting religious beliefs but became the unifying theory of life sciences, explaining the diversity and adaptation of living things.

Local Advanced Lung Cancer: Artificial Intelligence, Synergetics, Complex Sys...
Overall life span (LS) was 1671.7±1721.6 days and cumulative 5YS reached 62.4%, 10 years – 50.4%, 20 years – 44.6%. 94 LCP lived more than 5 years without cancer (LS=2958.6±1723.6 days), 22 – more than 10 years (LS=5571±1841.8 days). 67 LCP died because of LC (LS=471.9±344 days). AT significantly improved 5YS (68% vs. 53.7%) (P=0.028 by log-rank test). Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: N0-N12, T3-4, blood cell circuit, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells-CC and blood cells subpopulations), LC cell dynamics, recalcification time, heparin tolerance, prothrombin index, protein, AT, procedure type (P=0.000-0.031). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and N0-12 (rank=1), thrombocytes/CC (rank=2), segmented neutrophils/CC (3), eosinophils/CC (4), erythrocytes/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), stick neutrophils/CC (8), leucocytes/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (error=0.000; area under ROC curve=1.0).
