The document summarizes key points about water and hydration from a nutrition textbook chapter. It discusses how water is essential for the human body, comprising about 60% of total body weight for adults. It functions as a transport medium, lubricant, protective cushion and helps regulate temperature. The body maintains water balance through intake and output. Dehydration can occur if intake is inadequate or loss is too high, while overconsumption can also cause issues. The document recommends daily water intake amounts and notes the majority should come from beverages, with some from food. It also compares bottled versus tap water sources.
The document discusses the importance of staying hydrated and provides guidelines on how much water the average person should drink daily. It notes that water is essential for the human body to function properly and that most adults should aim to drink around 8 cups of water per day. It also lists various signs of dehydration and tips for ensuring adequate water intake, such as drinking water throughout the day and with meals. The document emphasizes that drinking enough water is important for health and performance.
Dehydration (from the Greek hydor (water)) and the Latin prefix de- (indicating deprivation, removal, and separation) occurs when more water and fluids are exiting the body than are entering the body. With about 75% of the body made up of water found inside cells, within blood vessels, and between cells, survival requires a rather sophisticated water management system. Luckily, our bodies have such a system, and our thirst mechanism tells us when we need to increase fluid intake. Although water is lost constantly throughout the day as we breathe, sweat, urinate, and defecate, we can replenish the water in our body by drinking fluids. The body can also shift water around to areas where it is more needed if dehydration begins to occur.
Water is considered as the most important nutrient for the body. It forms the greatest component of the human body, making up 50% to 60% of body weight. Lean muscle tissue contains about 73% water.
Fat tissue is about 20% water. Thus as fat content increases in the body, total body water content declines towards 50%. Water – the most versatile medium for all kinds of chemical reactions constitutes the major portion of our bodies.
Without water, the life processes would cease in a matter of days.
The water content of soft tissues ranges from 70 to 80 per cent while that of bone about 20 per cent.
The body water can be visualised to be distributed mainly in two compartments.
Intracellular fluid - a fluid present in the cells.
Extracellular fluid - a fluid present outside the cells.
The extra cellular water is further sub divided into
water in blood plasma (about 4 per cent);
interstitial water – water in tissue spaces (9 per cent) and
Lymph in the lymphatic vessels (7 per cent). Of all the nutrients, water is the most critical as its absence proves lethal within a few days. Water's importance in the human body can be loosely categorized into four basic functions: transportation vehicle, medium for chemical reactions, lubricant/shock absorber, and temperature regulator.
Regulates body temperature
Moistens tissues in the eyes, nose and mouth
Protects body organs and tissues
Carries nutrients and oxygen to cells
Lubricates joints
Lessens burden the on kidneys and liver by flushing out waste products
Helps dissolve minerals and nutrients to make them accessible to your body. Of all the nutrients, water is the most critical as its absence proves lethal within a few days.

Water is essential for human life and makes up over 60% of the human body. It serves many critical functions including transporting nutrients, regulating body temperature, lubricating joints, and removing waste. The average adult needs around 6-8 cups of water per day from foods and beverages to maintain proper hydration, though needs can vary depending on activity level, climate, health factors, and more. Dehydration occurs when the body loses more water than it takes in and can have mild to severe health effects if not addressed.
There is nothing on Earth more important to life than water.
People are having trouble getting the amount and quality of water they need for drinking, cooking, bathing, hand washing, and increasing food.
Amazing progress has been made in making clean drinking water in developed countries available to 2.6 billion people.
That's an improvement over that period from 76 percent of the global population to 91 percent.

as we all know, we cannot live without water. The
fact is, we can only survive for a total of 3 days
without water. Water has however,
Water makes up 55-70% of the human body and plays several essential roles. It acts as a solvent, lubricant, structural component of cells, and helps regulate body temperature. The body contains two major water compartments - intracellular fluid inside cells and extracellular fluid outside cells. Daily water intake and loss must balance to maintain proper hydration. Water is lost through urine, sweat, and insensible losses, while the daily requirement varies depending on climate, activity level, and health factors. Maintaining water balance is important for overall health and well-being.
This document provides information about the importance of water conservation. It begins with welcoming the audience to the presentation. It then discusses what water is, its various forms on Earth, where it can be found, and that it is a renewable resource. The document outlines the effects of water shortage such as lack of access to drinking water and hunger. It emphasizes the importance of water for the human body and various functions. It provides examples of water waste like using toilets as trash cans. Finally, it suggests ways to conserve water such as through education, improving agricultural practices, fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and turning off taps.
This document discusses signs and symptoms of dehydration at different levels of fluid loss, as well as causes, treatment, and prevention of dehydration. Mild dehydration can cause thirst and dry mouth, while more severe dehydration over 10% fluid loss leads to muscle spasms, vomiting and confusion. Dehydration is caused by fluid loss from vomiting, diarrhea or excessive sweating without replenishment. Treatment involves slow rehydration with water and electrolyte replacement. Prevention focuses on drinking adequate water daily based on individual needs and factors like climate, and replacing fluids lost through sweat and urine.
The document discusses the benefits of drinking water. It makes three key points:
1) The human body is composed of 60-70% water and it is essential for nearly every bodily function. Water helps cells communicate and is necessary to replace fluid losses.
2) There are many health benefits to drinking water such as maintaining fluid balance, reducing calorie intake, helping kidney function, and clearer thinking. Drinking water can also help with weight loss.
3) The document provides tips for increasing water intake through diet and lifestyle changes like drinking water before meals and keeping a water bottle handy. It recommends drinking the average of 8 glasses of water per day.

Dehydration occurs when the body loses more than 1.5% of its water content. Common causes of dehydration include sweating, breathing, exercise, aging, altitude, stress, diarrhea, and alcohol consumption. Symptoms of mild dehydration include thirst, reduced appetite, flushing, dark urine, dry mouth, fatigue, headaches, chills, and dizziness. It is important to drink 6-8 cups of water per day to avoid dehydration and its negative health effects.
Water is an essential macronutrient that makes up about 60% of the human body. It performs many vital functions like maintaining cell health, regulating temperature, lubricating joints, and aiding digestion. The average adult needs around 9 cups of total beverages per day from drinking fluids, food moisture, and metabolic water production. Not consuming enough water can lead to dehydration, while overconsumption can cause water intoxication. Various medical conditions can also cause fluid retention in the body.
Water makes up about 60% of our total body weight and is essential for many bodily functions. It is found both inside and outside of cells, with about two-thirds located intracellularly and one-third extracellularly. Proper hydration is important for regulating temperature, lubricating joints, transporting nutrients, and more. We lose water through excretion and physical activity like exercise. It is important to drink adequate fluids before, during, and after exercise to rehydrate and aid recovery. Dehydration can negatively impact performance and health. While thirst is the body's natural signal to drink, it typically does not occur until we are already dehydrated. Maintaining proper hydration is important for overall health and wellness
Water is vital for our survival. Our body loses its fluids during various processes and intake of enough fluids is crucial for maintaining a healthy body. The imbalance of fluids due to low water intake causes dehydration which can have severe consequences. Staying hydrated is imperative in order to stay healthy.
This document discusses dehydration, including its causes, symptoms, treatment, and prevention. It notes that dehydration occurs when the body takes in less water than it loses and doesn't have enough fluid for normal functioning. Symptoms range from mild thirst and dark urine to severe symptoms like rapid heartbeat, confusion, and shock. Treatment involves oral fluid replacement with water, juice, or electrolyte drinks. Prevention is the best approach through drinking adequate fluids daily, especially for at-risk groups like children, elderly, and those with medical conditions or who exercise or live in hot climates.
Water makes up about 60% of an adult's body weight and is essential for life. It transports nutrients and waste, maintains body structures, and enables metabolic processes. The body loses water through urine, sweat, and breathing and must replenish it through drinking water and other beverages as well as water in foods. Dehydration can develop if water intake is inadequate while overconsumption of water can cause water intoxication. Adults should aim to drink around 8-12 cups of total water per day from all sources to maintain proper hydration.
The document summarizes the composition, distribution, functions, and requirements of water in the human body. It states that water makes up over two-thirds of the human body and is essential for all cell and organ functions. It discusses how water is lost and regulated in the body through various systems like the kidneys, skin, lungs, and gastrointestinal tract. The document also covers dehydration and overhydration conditions that can occur if water balance is disrupted.
The chapter discusses minerals and water, which are essential nutrients. Water makes up about 60% of the human body and is necessary for many functions like transport, regulation, protection and lubrication. The body maintains water balance through intake and output. Both dehydration and overhydration can cause health issues. Minerals are divided into major minerals needed in larger amounts and trace minerals required in smaller amounts. They serve important roles like bone and tooth formation, fluid balance, and as enzyme cofactors. Maintaining proper mineral intake through diet is important as deficiencies or toxicities can result from excess supplementation.
Water is essential for life and proper bodily functions. The human body is composed of approximately 60-70% water. Water transports nutrients, removes toxins, regulates temperature, and lubricates joints. It is difficult for the body to obtain water from other sources besides directly drinking water. While soft drinks appear to quench thirst, they actually dehydrate the body and provide mostly empty calories from high sugar content. Soft drinks are highly acidic and leach minerals from the body. They can also contain artificial sweeteners like aspartame that have been linked to health issues. Overall, drinking water is much healthier for the body than consuming soft drinks.
Water is essential for life as it transports oxygen to cells, is part of important bodily fluids like blood and lymph, and is needed to digest food and eliminate waste. The document discusses why drinking water is important, myths about dehydration, facts about water and the body, and tips for preventing dehydration such as drinking fluids regularly during and after physical activity. Overall, the document emphasizes that water is vital for normal bodily function and recommends drinking enough water daily, especially when physically active.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
Fabular Frames and the Four Ratio ProblemMajid Iqbal
Digital, interactive art showing the struggle of a society in providing for its present population while also saving planetary resources for future generations. Spread across several frames, the art is actually the rendering of real and speculative data. The stereographic projections change shape in response to prompts and provocations. Visitors interact with the model through speculative statements about how to increase savings across communities, regions, ecosystems and environments. Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Their fabulations combined with random noise, i.e. factors beyond control, have a dramatic effect on the societal transition. Things get better. Things get worse. The aim is to give visitors a new grasp and feel of the ongoing struggles in democracies around the world.
Stunning art in the small multiples format brings out the spatiotemporal nature of societal transitions, against backdrop issues such as energy, housing, waste, farmland and forest. In each frame we see hopeful and frightful interplays between spending and saving. Problems emerge when one of the two parts of the existential anaglyph rapidly shrinks like Arctic ice, as factors cross thresholds. Ecological wealth and intergenerational equity areFour at stake. Not enough spending could mean economic stress, social unrest and political conflict. Not enough saving and there will be climate breakdown and ‘bankruptcy’. So where does speculative design start and the gambling and betting end? Behind each fabular frame is a four ratio problem. Each ratio reflects the level of sacrifice and self-restraint a society is willing to accept, against promises of prosperity and freedom. Some values seem to stabilise a frame while others cause collapse. Get the ratios right and we can have it all. Get them wrong and things get more desperate.

Vicinity Jobs’ data includes more than three million 2023 OJPs and thousands of skills. Most skills appear in less than 0.02% of job postings, so most postings rely on a small subset of commonly used terms, like teamwork.
Laura Adkins-Hackett, Economist, LMIC, and Sukriti Trehan, Data Scientist, LMIC, presented their research exploring trends in the skills listed in OJPs to develop a deeper understanding of in-demand skills. This research project uses pointwise mutual information and other methods to extract more information about common skills from the relationships between skills, occupations and regions.
In a tight labour market, job-seekers gain bargaining power and leverage it into greater job quality—at least, that’s the conventional wisdom.
Michael, LMIC Economist, presented findings that reveal a weakened relationship between labour market tightness and job quality indicators following the pandemic. Labour market tightness coincided with growth in real wages for only a portion of workers: those in low-wage jobs requiring little education. Several factors—including labour market composition, worker and employer behaviour, and labour market practices—have contributed to the absence of worker benefits. These will be investigated further in future work.
The Rise and Fall of Ponzi Schemes in America.pptxDiana Rose
Ponzi schemes, a notorious form of financial fraud, have plagued America’s investment landscape for decades. Named after Charles Ponzi, who orchestrated one of the most infamous schemes in the early 20th century, these fraudulent operations promise high returns with little or no risk, only to collapse and leave investors with significant losses. This article explores the nature of Ponzi schemes, notable cases in American history, their impact on victims, and measures to prevent falling prey to such scams.
Understanding Ponzi Schemes
A Ponzi scheme is an investment scam where returns are paid to earlier investors using the capital from newer investors, rather than from legitimate profit earned. The scheme relies on a constant influx of new investments to continue paying the promised returns. Eventually, when the flow of new money slows down or stops, the scheme collapses, leaving the majority of investors with substantial financial losses.
Historical Context: Charles Ponzi and His Legacy
Charles Ponzi is the namesake of this deceptive practice. In the 1920s, Ponzi promised investors in Boston a 50% return within 45 days or 100% return in 90 days through arbitrage of international reply coupons. Initially, he paid returns as promised, not from profits, but from the investments of new participants. When his scheme unraveled, it resulted in losses exceeding $20 million (equivalent to about $270 million today).
Notable American Ponzi Schemes
1. Bernie Madoff: Perhaps the most notorious Ponzi scheme in recent history, Bernie Madoff’s fraud involved $65 billion. Madoff, a well-respected figure in the financial industry, promised steady, high returns through a secretive investment strategy. His scheme lasted for decades before collapsing in 2008, devastating thousands of investors, including individuals, charities, and institutional clients.
2. Allen Stanford: Through his company, Stanford Financial Group, Allen Stanford orchestrated a $7 billion Ponzi scheme, luring investors with fraudulent certificates of deposit issued by his offshore bank. Stanford promised high returns and lavish lifestyle benefits to his investors, which ultimately led to a 110-year prison sentence for the financier in 2012.
3. Tom Petters: In a scheme that lasted more than a decade, Tom Petters ran a $3.65 billion Ponzi scheme, using his company, Petters Group Worldwide. He claimed to buy and sell consumer electronics, but in reality, he used new investments to pay off old debts and fund his extravagant lifestyle. Petters was convicted in 2009 and sentenced to 50 years in prison.
4. Eric Dalius and Saivian: Eric Dalius, a prominent figure behind Saivian, a cashback program promising high returns, is under scrutiny for allegedly orchestrating a Ponzi scheme. Saivian enticed investors with promises of up to 20% cash back on everyday purchases. However, investigations suggest that the returns were paid using new investments rather than legitimate profits. The collapse of Saivian l
