Based on the details provided, it is evident that all of the cities had increased in population size over the time of 50 years. However it should be accounted that not every one of the regions had increased its population size at the same rate. Some of the regions actually decreased its population size during some of the intervals. During the years from 1961 to 1981, the “premature” Toronto region had decreased its population 0.2% from 1961 to 1971 and 14% from 1971 to 1981. The reason for this would be examined later but other regions apart from Toronto that experienced slight decrease in population are Milton and Orangeville.
According to a 2008 report by the EPA, the US generated 250 million tons of trash, averaging 4.5 pounds per person per day. This is an increase from the 88 million tons, or 2.7 pounds per person that was recorded in 1960. However, over that same time period there was an even greater increase in the amount of that waste that was recycled. Moving from a meager 5.5% of waste recycled in 1960, the US has increased to over 33% of total waste recycled in 2008 (Municipal Solid Waste (MSW) in the United States: Facts and Figures, 2008). Discounting the amount of waste that is recycled still leaves a difference of more than double in the waste creation between the years, but the exponential growth in the recycling amount provides information into a changing attitude.
The number of people behind bars has grown substantially in many countries over the past 20 years.” (para. 9). Better policing can also be attributed to the decline in crime rates as evidence of the growing prison population. According to Mitchell (2010), "In Denver, 30 of the 2009 murders — almost 80 percent — have been solved, according to Mary Dulacki, records coordinator for Denver police.” Per a Denver Police spokesperson, another factor in the reduction of murders is the improvements with emergency medical treatment and services. First responders are able to save more lives than in the past (Mitchell, 2010).
‘Hurricanes are becoming a greater hazard’ discuss. There is evidence that hurricanes may be becoming a greater hazard due to the increased intensity and frequency of them, data has shown that the number of hurricanes each year is in general controlled by a 20-40 year cycle, currently scientists believe that we are in the stage of the cycle where there will be more hurricanes than average each year as compared to the mid 1960’s-1990’s where the number of hurricanes per year was considerably less than the expected average. This increase in the number of storms means that some areas may be getting by more than one hurricane each season and more hurricanes over a period of time than they had done previously, allowing less time for the area to recover , rebuild its defences and plan and prepare effectively for the next storm, this therefore often intensifies the effects of the hurricane, in this case making it a greater hazard e.g. the Florida Keys, southeast Florida, Bangladesh and the Philippines are all areas that have experienced greater damage from hurricanes since 1995 when the average number of hurricanes per year started to increase. Louisiana in the USA is an area where some evidence has shown that hurricanes are becoming a greater hazard.
Sales-force was incentivized by a quota system with quarterly volume quotas. Manufacturing Selling Prices of RBS increased 3 times in previous 5 years. Price increases were due to increase in raw material cost by 11%. Advertising was focused on new uses of product like pet care, baby care, pool care, outdoor care etc and emphasized non-toxic benefits of product. In 2006 too much RBS product moved in the market, so need to deplete Inventory and increase sales RBS More aggressive in promotion during last 3 years.
In recent years, the diagnoses of STDs in older adults have sky rocketed. According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reportings of syphilis and chlamydia among those 55 and over has risen 43% between 2005 and 2009. Recent CDC statistics have also shown that the number of newly diagnosed Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infections is increasing faster in older adults than in people 40 and under. Karlovsky, Lebed & Mydlo (2004) believe that HIV and AIDs data may underestimate the incidence and prevalence of such diseases due to the fact that previous research excluded participants from the elderly population. However, according to Hillman (2008) approximately 12% to 20% of new cases of HIV and AIDs occur among men and women 65 and over.
Elderly as a Vulnerable Population Faustino Hernandez NUR/440 June 11, 2011 University of Phoenix Elderly as a Vulnerable Population According To the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (2002), vulnerability is the Ability to "Be Easily Physically, Emotionally, or mentally hurt, Influenced or attacked." “As one of the faster growing segments of the population, over 70 million American citizens will be considered elderly by 2030 (Centers for the Disease Control and Prevention , 2007).” The United States Census Bureau states that, the Population greater Than 65 years old is growing at a rapid pace and by the year 2050 will duplicate and will increase from 12 to 20 percent of the population. This same percentage will be considered vulnerable population. Currently 40 million of people in the United States are 65 years or older, according to the Census Bureau these numbers will be expected to double by 2050, longevity will increased and this will bring a new number of common diseases which, will make this group more vulnerable. At Any Given Time, anyone can become vulnerable, the composition of the population has changed demographically and the elderly population has increased in recent years because of the development of the science and technology, but with this increment of the elderly population the vulnerability increases as well, due to some factors that this vulnerable population is exposed to, such as increase of the needs, physical and mental limitations, and lack of financial resources.
The rate of sea level rise during the 20th century was about 10 times higher than the average rate during the last 3,000 years. Global ocean heat content has also increased since the 1950s. El Nino Definition – a warm ocean current of variable intensity that develops after late December along the coast of Ecuador and Peru and sometimes causes catastrophic weather conditions. More frequent, determined and fierce El Nino’s have been recorded in recent decades. The constant 1990 to mid-1995 warm phase of the El Nino Southern Oscillation event was amazing in the 120 year record of the rare occasion.
The health system in Argentina has dramatically changed in the last 20 years. After economic crisis and political conflicts, it has managed to improve positively and steadily throughout the years, although the country still needs some work to be done in this area. According to the Pan American Health Organization, since 1986 the infant mortality rate has fallen and approximately 97% of births were attended in a health facility. It has also been reported in 1999 that the leading cause of death in Argentina was Circulatory Disease measuring up to 270.3 deaths per 100,000 people. In addition, in between 1995 and 1999 health expenditure showed a cumulative increase of 7.5%, but during these years the health system has remained relatively unchanged.7 The health system in Argentina is divided into three parts: the public sector, the private sector, the social security or most commonly known as obras sociales, and the Programa de Atencion Medica Integral (PAMI).8 The public sector provides health care through the network of public health facilities.
For example, both urban and rural suicide rates decreased, male suicide rates became higher than those of the females, and elderly suicide significantly increased. The most recent decade of the 2010s moulded the distinction between the traditional suicide profile in the rural areas that were immensely affected by the collapse of communes and the rise of migration. As for the city areas, the urbanisation and modernisation have improved the livelihood of the younger generation. However, the ageing of society, urban life stressors, mental health issues, and rising living prices are putting their toll on the metropolitan society. Without the positive economic growth and urbanisation rates, these factors may lead to a new upsurge in the suicide rates.
