Should we train and allow school faculty members to carry weapons to help keep our children safe or should we find other methods of early detections to stop these events from happening. “Three hundred twenty-three students have died in documented school shootings over the past 15 years” (Esposito, 2007). School shootings have been much broadcasted over
To determine the amount of support for school uniform policies, many of the schools had polled parents (82%), school staff (66%), students (47%), other schools (45%) and the community (32%) (NAESP, 2000). Lumsden and Miller stated in their results that “75% of parents and 89% of staff supported uniforms and believed they decreased violence, theft, and gang activity” (Lumsden and Miller, 2002, p. 2). They also noted that only 15% of the students supported the use of school uniforms, and almost 60% of the students admitted that uniforms helped administrators identify intruders on campus. Parents, teachers, and students also agreed that wearing school uniforms would “place all students on an equal level” (Lumsden & Miller, 2002, p. 2). Repeatedly, parents and school personnel supported the use of uniforms in the schools and those that choose to incorporate a uniform policy worked hard at being pro-active in setting up the policy.
(Wikipedia contributors) The virus also remains alive and contagious on exposed surfaces and in the air for up two hours. Measles is highly contagious, over 95 percent of non-immunized children will develop the disease if exposed to the virus. (CDC) Symptoms of the disease first appear 10 to 12 days after initial exposure to the virus. These symptoms include cough, runny nose,fever, malaise, red watery eyes , koplik’s spots and the hallmark skin rash. (CDC) Initially a fever develops, followed by runny nose, cough and water eyes and koplik’s spots(small white spots that develop within the cheek and mouth).
The company is currently preparing to ship a large quantity of the metal whistle to schools in South America at the end of the week, so the product arrives in time for the start of the new school year. The following report is an in-depth analysis of the situation and includes several decision alternatives, a recommendation on how to handle the situation, and touches on the benefits of implementing a code of ethics program. A1. Decision Alternative: A comprehensive analysis of the metal whistle issue has revealed three possible alternatives to ethically handle the situation: 1) remove the metal whistle from the toy collection completely, 2) replace the whistle with an environmentally safe toy, or 3) reproduce the metal whistle to meet U.S. lead requirement. A2.
The virus can be contracted when people breathe the contaminated air or touch a contaminated surface and proceed to touch their eyes, nose, or mouth. The measles virus can live in the air or on a surface up to two hours after exposure of the virus. Many high risk factors come with an unvaccinated person being exposed to the virus. It has been proven that ninety percent of unvaccinated people whom come in contact with the measles will become ill with the virus. Travelers whom travel to countries that have an increased risk of measles outbreak need to protect themselves by getting vaccinated before traveling, this could help to prevent bringing the illness back home with them.
USA vaccines cover A, C, W-135, and Y but not B (Coffee, 2015). The incubation period of meningococcal disease ranges from 2 to 10 days. The disease is spread through saliva and respiratory droplets. The most common way people transfer the disease is through kissing, sharing drinks, sharing used silverware, sharing lip balm, and close contact with an infected person who may cough or sneeze within three feet of an individual. Meningococcal meningitis is a fast moving, deadly infection that kills 10 to 13% of its victims within a matter of hours or days (CDC, 2015).
The investigation included hospitals, day care settings, churches, and schools. Measles outbreaks had been considered eradicated since 2000, however with more and more people choosing to be unvaccinated, and increasing travel outside the United States this has become a worry again for the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. The current rate for measles in the United States is 1 in 738,672 people (Vaccine incidence, 2014). Despite great achievements put forward toward global reduction of measles, there still remains a large issue. In 2010, 327,305 cases of measles were reported and approximately 139,300 deaths (CDC,
He tested whether the stress of important medical examination has an effect on the functioning of the immune system. His experiment was natural and he used 75 medical students. Blood samples were taken a month before the final exams which was the low stress condition and again during the exam period representing the high stress condition. Immune functioning was tested by the T cell activity in the blood samples. Students were also asked to fill out questionnaires to assess their psychological variables such as life events and
According to the World Health Organization, Cholera is an intestinal infection caused by contaminated food or water. From the time a person is infected, the disease will show up in as little as one day. Cholera causes severe diarrhea and vomiting that leads to dehydration and kill within hours if left untreated. With proper fluids and antibiotics, cholera is an easily treatable disease. In 2010, the Haiti National Public Health Laboratory declared a cholera outbreak in Haiti after being notified of a sudden increase in patients with diarrhea and dehydration.
Around 781.000 people die of malaria each year. So precautions must be took in order to avoid catching it. TASK 4 (D1) The affect of how antibiotics work in order to fight and kill the harmful Bacteria. Introduction; The aim of our experiment was to find out how and which antibiotics and antimicrobials work on best in fighting specific Bacteria. These being, E.Coli and S.Albus.
