Introduction: Sow Bugs, small land crustaceans, have oval bodies with armor like plating, live in humid and cool environments such as logs and leaf litter, and are chosen to be used to test for taxis, movement towards or away from a stimulus. Both chemotaxis, movement in response to chemicals, and phototaxis, movement in response to light, are tested in this experimental procedure. The purpose of this experiment is to test the response of Sow Bugs to a light and a chemical source, showing whether they exhibit taxis to a certain stimulus. Body spray was used because it exhibited all the attributes of a potential chemical substance. It has color and smell and being in a liquid and a gas form.
Level 2 Diploma in Health and Social Care * Contribute to the support of infection prevention and control in social care 1.1 Identify how infections are spread. There are many practices that can lead to the spread of infection. Here are a few: not washing hands, sharing personal items such as towels, toothbrushes, etc. , unsafe food practices, not keeping up to date with vaccines, and not covering coughs and sneezes properly. 1.2 Describe how breaking the chain of infection minimizes the spread of infection.
1.3 What is meant by…. Infection~ A term used for an illness that has been caused by a harmful organism/bacteria. Colonisation~ This term is to identify when bad bacteria can be present but is causing no illness or harm to the carrier. 1.4 Systemic infection~ This is where an infection affects all the body and also the cognitive matter and can make the whole body feel unwell like chest/urine infections or septicemia. Localised infection~ Is where the pain can be pinpointed and is coming from the cause itself and the area that it homes at, this would be things like cuts/wounds to the skin or an ingrown toenail.
If the foreign body is a live insect, you can kill it by putting a few drops of baby oil or vegetable oil in the ear. Have the child tilt their head and shaking gently to try and dislodge the object. If you can’t see the object or can remove it easily, take them to hospital. Have the child breathe through their mouth. For an object that is partially out of the nose, try to remove it with fingers or tweezers.
Abstract: In this study of researching animals and their behaviors, demonstrates the behaviors of sow bugs and their likeness to dry vs. moist and light vs. shade preference. The general hypothesis for this experiment was that the sow bugs would prefer the shade vs. the light, and the moist climate vs. the dry climate. In this experiment, six sow bugs were obtained in a petri dish lined with filter paper that was taped to keep the bugs from escaping. Three different trials were completed by first covering half the petri dish with a piece of construction paper and the other half left uncovered in the presence of light. The second trial completed was covering half the filter paper with drops of water to present moisture, and dry on the other half, both in the presence of light.
2.2 Describe how to make an individual aware of the effects of poor hygiene on others? The best way is to discuss with them a story in the news which is about a how a virus or disease and how easily they are spread for example start by saying how bad the Ebola virus is and the poor people in west Africa and then talk about how easily it has been contracted and how much people have to protect themselves from it, maybe then mention how bad it would be if something like that breaks out over here. 2.3 Describe how to support an individual to develop and improve personal hygiene routines? I would support an individual to develop and improve personal hygiene routines by showing them my routine and how I manage my personal hygiene this is something they
The experimental group will receive the Protazen and the control group will receive a placebo. A placebo is an inert substance and it is used in order to find out whether or not the effect of the independent variable actually includes what the experimenter is testing. In this experiment the placebo will be a sugar pill. Each experiment has a control in order to account for the placebo effect. The placebo effect suggests that the effects produced by a drug might be related to psychological processes as a test subject may still improve because of their expectation to do so.
Malathion is seen as something that would be harmful to citizens of the town, but the West Niles Virus is just a fatal of something to fear. In either of the situations we are talking about whether or not the decision that is made is going to be in the best interest of the town members and the tourist that our town so desperately needs. After looking over the information and making some notes about Malathion in the areas of hazard identification, dose-response, exposure, and risk characterization there is enough data to draw a solid conclusion. As a result of the research I have opted to allow the Malathion to be sprayed, but there will be some stipulations to this agreement. The hazard identification test showed that many test had been
The risk of toxic exposure to Malathion is minute, only a small application is used per acre placed on ground. According to the agency for toxic substance and disease, the long-term risk from Malathion application is unlikely. In conclusion, I vote to introduce Malathion into Genericville. I do believe with through proper education of our citizens, the over population of mosquitoes could be under control. Within the planning, we must take in consideration the river and wet lands; our water supply, possibly of residue being left over, and most importantly safety of
This bacterium is also a facultative anaerobe meaning it can grow with or without oxygen. The bacterium is found most commonly in animals such as rats, fleas, lice, chipmunks, etc. Y. pestis is most commonly transferred through bites from affected animals, direct contact with infected tissue or body fluids, or inhaling infected droplets. The best way to avoid the plague would be to stay away for any animal that has potential for having Yersinia pestis If proper safety measures are not taken and a human ends up with the plague they would have general symptoms such as inflamed lymph nodes, fever, chills, muscle aches, headache and weakness. If left untreated the symptoms could worsen and you could be left with septicemia, food poisoning like symptoms, bleeding from under the skin, in the urine, from the mouth and nose, shock, kidney failure, breathing problems.
