The largest population growth in the United States is expected to come from immigration and an aging population. Globalization has led to the spread of chronic diseases in developing countries. It is important to monitor countries' health to identify and prioritize public health needs. Some of the biggest global health challenges include pandemics like COVID-19 and monkeypox, economic and geographic disparities in health care access, and noncommunicable diseases. Environmental factors exacerbated by climate change also influence disease spread.

Health Promotion Strategies and Methods Third Edition is the essential guide to developing effective health programs for the Australian population. The book presents the key principles of health promotion and demonstrates how they can be applied. This new edition provides a structured approach to devising health programs by focusing on planning, development and implementation. It also clearly explains the differences in individual, group and mass population approaches to health intervention and prevention programs. This is a practical introduction for health practitioners and students in public health, health sciences, medicine, nursing and epidemiology. Key features: • thoroughly revised and updated to reflect current health practices and incorporating the latest references • focuses on developing targeted strategies and techniques • written by Australian authors who are leaders in the field • useful tips, summaries and case studies throughout • concise and accessible style.
Climate change is the single biggest health threat facing humanity, and health professionals worldwide are already responding to the health harms caused by this unfolding crisis.
The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has concluded that to avert catastrophic health impacts and prevent millions of climate change-related deaths, the world must limit temperature rise to 1.5°C. Past emissions have already made a certain level of global temperature rise and other changes to the climate inevitable.

MANY INDIVIDUALS AND NONGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONS (NGOS) HELP FIGHT GLOBAL DISEASE. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation plays a key role in the war against malaria, AIDS, and other diseases. Melinda and Bill Gates met with doctors and patients at the Manhica Research Center and Hospital in an area of Mozambique heavily affected by malaria.
Learning Objectives
1. 13.1Recall the causes and effects of noncommunicable diseases
2. 13.2Evaluate the role of global travel and trade in facilitating the globalization of infectious diseases
3. 13.3Outline the three developments that gave rise to the concept of human security
4. 13.4Describe the three epidemiologic transitions to better understand contemporary concerns about infectious diseases
5. 13.5Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of influenza and avian flu
6. 13.6Report the cause, spread, effects, and control measures of malaria
7. 13.7Recognize the causes and preventive measures of HIV
8. 13.8Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of SARS
9. 13.9Report the origin, spread, effects, and control measures of Ebola
10. 13.10Outline role of the WHO in preventing the spread of infectious diseases
Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic respiratory disease, and mental illness in general and Alzheimer’s disease in particular are the leading causes of death and disability globally. Long associated with affluent Western standards of living, NCDs are now a global problem. While rich countries are better equipped to deal with chronic diseases, they are far more deadly in poor countries. Growing numbers of old people and the spread of middle-class lifestyles make NCDs more prevalent than infectious diseases. Globalization also contributes to the growth of NCDs by helping expand the global middle class and by promoting fast foods, sugary drinks, alcohol, smoking, processed foods, and sedentary lifestyles. A major global health threat that undermines efforts to cure diseases is the emergence of germs that are resistant to antibiotics. This is due mainly to the excessive use of antibiotics in medicine and agriculture.
Infectious diseases are intertwined with numerous global issues and are inseparable from political, economic, and cultural components of globalization. Ethnic conflicts make populations vulnerable to infectious diseases. Fighting contributes to the collapse of public services, which means that many people die from what would ordinarily be treatable diseases, such as diarrhea and respiratory infections. Conflicts also create refugees, overcrowding, and unsanitary conditions, thereby creating environments conducive to the spread of infectious diseases.
Environmental degradation and deforestation expose humans to a variety of infectious diseases. They also contribute to global warming and flooding,.

Global health is the health of populations in the global context;
It has been defined as "the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide".Health is a state of physical, mental, and social well-being in which disease and infirmity are absent. Global health practices can respond to some of the major health responsibilities such as non-communicable diseases (heart disease, diabetes, cancer, and chronic respiratory diseases) or injuries that occur in varying degrees in many countries, no matter how advanced.
The guidelines set out the principles and practices that government can look at when making laws and regulating food programs. Inequality affects the health of the world.
The future of global health is at risk and needs urgent strategies. Also, technology is contributing at a vast pace to overcome the various health challenges all over the world.
For prevention of non-communicable diseases(NCD):
Ban all forms of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship.
Restrictions on the availability of retailed alcohol.
Replacement of trans fats with polyunsaturated fats.
Scale-up early detection and coverage starting with very cost-effective, high-impact interventions.

Global health is the health of populations in the global context; it has been defined as "the area of study, research and practice that places a priority on improving health and achieving equity in health for all people worldwide".Problems that transcend national borders or have a global political and economic impact are often emphasized.Thus, global health is about worldwide health improvement (including mental health), reduction of disparities, and protection against global threats that disregard national borders.Global health is not to be confused with international health, which is defined as the branch of public health focusing on developing nations and foreign aid efforts by industrialized countries.Global health can be measured as a function of various global diseases and their prevalence in the world and threat to decrease life in the present day.

The Epidemiological transition—the shift from infectious and deficiency diseases to chronic non communicable diseases—was a unidirectional process, beginning when infectious diseases were predominant and ending when non communicable diseases dominated the causes of death.
It has, however, become apparent that this transition is more complex and dynamic: the health and disease patterns of a society evolve in diverse ways as a result of demographic, socioeconomic, technological, cultural, environmental and biological changes.
It is rather a continuous transformation process, with some diseases disappearing and others appearing or re-emerging. This also indicates that such a process is not unidirectional

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

1. discuss: Within the United States, the largest population growth is
discuss: Within the United States, the largest population growth is expected to come from
immigration and the development of the older adult population. Globalization has recently
changed the lifestyles of developing countries, resulting in new chronic diseases. Monitoring
the health of any country is essential for identifying and prioritizing public health and
research needs. It is necessary to identify important information such as diseases and
conditions and determine new health policy priority areas, funding, and programs (Holtz,
2012).Some of the significant health issues facing the world population growth in the last
25 years cause the most significant challenges confronting progress in global
health.Pandemics: Pandemics are defined as global disease outbreaks. The current one that
the world is battling is the multi-variant outbreaks of COVID-19. The COVID-19 pandemic
has drawn attention to the deep disparities that persist between and within countries, some
of which are being exacerbated and risk widening even further. On its heels is the
monkeypox outbreak. The spread of monkeypox is questionable as it appears random and
irregular. Catching COVID-19 increases the risk of developing other major health issues
such as cardiovascular disease and diabetes. Infected patients are more likely to be
diagnosed with life-threatening diseases. Vaccination efforts can help, but it’s critical to
address issues at the source by addressing essential areas like health education and
responsible agricultural practices.Economic disparities and access to health care: Despite
relentless progress in the field of medicine, communities across the world still lack access to
primary health education and health care. This results in health disparities, such as high
maternal and infant mortality rates, which are often related to
geography. Noncommunicable diseases: Heart disease, stroke, cancer, diabetes, and other
noncommunicable diseases (NCD) account for 70% of all deaths worldwide. Together, heart
disease and stroke, along with other cardiovascular diseases, are among the most
widespread and costly health problems facing the Nation today, accounting for
approximately $320 billion in health care (Pirani, 2019).Environmental Factors: The Earth’s
average land temperature has warmed nearly 1°C in the past 50 years because of human
activity, global greenhouse gas emissions have grown by nearly 80% since 1970, and
atmospheric concentrations of the major greenhouse gases are at their highest level in
800,000 years. Storms, flooding, droughts, and air pollution make it easier for diseases to
spread across large groups of people. The immediate solution is to provide resources like
bottled water and sanitation technology, but global health must also focus on the
prevention of environmental challenges in the first place. Climate change is thought by
2. many global health experts to be the greatest threat to human health. Exposure to climate-
related hazards can include biological, chemical, or physical stressors and can differ in time,
location, population, and severity (National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences
[NIEHS], 2022).ReferencesHoltz, C. (2012). Global health care (2nd ed.). Jones & Bartlett
Learning.National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. (2022, May 11). Human
