Download or read book Traditional Ecological Knowledge and Global Pandemics written by Ngozi Finette Unuigbe and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-03-01 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book demonstrates the importance and potential role of Traditional Ecological Knowledge in foreseeing and curbing future global pandemics. The reduction of species diversity has increased the risk of global pandemics and it is therefore not only imperative to articulate and disseminate knowledge on the linkages between human activities and the transmission of viruses to humans, but also to create policy pathways for operationalizing that knowledge to help solve future problems. Although this book has been prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, it lays a policy foundation for the effective management or possible prevention of similar pandemics in the future. One effective way of establishing this linkage with a view to promoting planet health is by understanding the traditional ecological knowledge of indigenous peoples with a view to demonstrating the significant impact it has on keeping nature intact. This book argues for the deployment of traditional ecological knowledge for land use management in the preservation of biodiversity as a means for effectively managing the transmission of viruses from animals to humans and ensuring planetary health. The book is not projecting traditional ecological knowledge as a panacea to pandemics but rather accentuating its critical role in the effective mitigation of future pandemics. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of traditional ecological knowledge, indigenous studies, animal ecology, environmental ethics and environmental studies more broadly.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human factors are the scientific discipline concerned with the understanding of interactions among humans and other elements of a system, and the profession that applies theory, principles, data, and other methods to design to optimize human well-being and overall system performance. Human factor issues and the impact of technology on society is a topic that is only growing, and it is essential that it is considered as technology becomes more present in our daily lives. This not only impacts society now but is something to be considered for the future. It is also incredibly important for those in the human factors profession to consider the impact of technology for their work and for the users they are helping design for. Therefore, this topic has immense impact and is important to study from a research perspective to advance the understanding of how technology works, how we work, and how we as humans work within the context of the technology we use. Human Factors Issues and the Impact of Technology on Society examines the role of technology on society with a specific focus on human factors issues and how they are associated with and related to technology use in society. A few highlighted topics within this book are digital health technologies, learning technologies, ethics in social technology, ICT use in businesses, and sustainability. These topics are only a few of examples of how this book analyzes technology in all different facets of society, making it ideal for a wide audience including human factors practitioners, technologists, sociologists, policy makers, teachers, technology developers and designers, business professionals, ethicists, researchers, academicians, students, and anyone else seeking more information on how technology is impacting society through the viewpoint of human factors.

Download or read book Migration and Pandemics written by Anna Triandafyllidou and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-12-01 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book discusses the socio-political context of the COVID-19 crisis and questions the management of the pandemic emergency with special reference to how this affected the governance of migration and asylum. The book offers critical insights on the impact of the pandemic on migrant workers in different world regions including North America, Europe and Asia. The book addresses several categories of migrants including medical staff, farm labourers, construction workers, care and domestic workers and international students. It looks at border closures for non-citizens, disruption for temporary migrants as well as at special arrangements made for essential (migrant) workers such as doctors or nurses as well as farmworkers, ‘shipped’ to destination with special flights to make sure emergency wards are staffed, and harvests are picked up and the food processing chain continues to function. The book illustrates how the pandemic forces us to rethink notions like membership, citizenship, belonging, but also solidarity, human rights, community, essential services or ‘essential’ workers alongside an intersectional perspective including ethnicity, gender and race.

Download or read book Online Teaching and Learning in Higher Education written by Pedro Isaias and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is to explores a variety of facets of online learning environments to understand how learning occurs and succeeds in digital contexts and what teaching strategies and technologies are most suited to this format. Business, health, government and education are some of the core sectors of society which have been experiencing deep transformations due to a generalized digitalization. While these changes are not novel, the swift progress of technology and the rising complexity of digital environments place a focus on the need for further research and novel strategies. In the context of education, the promise of increased flexibility and broader access to educational resources is impelling much of higher education’s course offerings to online environments. The 21st century learner requires an education that can be pursued anytime and anywhere and that is more aligned with the demands of a digital society. Online education not only assists students to success-fully integrate a workforce that is increasingly digital, but it helps them to become more comfortable with the use of technology in general and, hence, more prepared to be prolific digital citizens. The variety of settings portrayed in this volume attest to the unlimited opportunities afforded by online learning and serve as valuable evidence of its benefit for students’ educational experience. Moreover, these research efforts assist a more comprehensive reflection about the delivery of higher education in the context of online settings.
Download or read book Primal Panacea written by Thomas E. Levy and published by Medfox Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Primal man benefited from a powerful cure-all that continually coursed through his blood vessels. This substance -- made in the liver -- protected him from an overwhelming list of health challenges that, until recently, were rare causes of death. Due to a genetic error of metabolism, the vast majority of us no longer produce this panacea, making us increasingly susceptible to cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, dementia, diabetes, and many other very costly, and often fatal maladies. Thousands of scientific studies prove that sufficient quantities of this substance in the bloodstream still provide the same protective and curative properties experienced long ago. Dr. Levy cites over a thousand of these published reports as he relates the history and science of the "primal panacea" in an easy-to-read and entertaining way. He also relates simple and powerful ways to boost blood levels to those once enjoyed by our ancient ancestors. Primal Panacea is chock full of proof, resources, and practical how-to. It will save you money, it will greatly improve your odds for a long and healthy life -- we guarantee it

This book was released on 2021-09-21 with total page 369 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a non-fictional visualisation of current global incidents through the lens of Thirukkural. The book inroads into the raging COVID-19 pandemic, polygamous Chinese lifestyle, Singapore – an axle, and tech giants such as Google, Apple, etc. The first chapter, ‘American Presidential Election 2024’, starts with the voyage of Columbus and covers a little about the Red Indians. Pasu, from Anna University, and Guru went to America for MBA in Ivy League. Guru joined Harvard and Pasu went to Kellogg School. Pasu fell in love with an American girl, Dorzah, in Kellogg. About 80% of this chapter is in a WhatsApp conversation format – a trending social media for all generations. Interestingly, Dorzah is a republican and Pasu is a democrat supporter. The MBA friends from American universities started the WhatsApp group, ‘MBA Round D World’. Students from Harvard, Yale, UCB, IIT, LSE, ETH-Swiss and Moscow University are in it. They debated on the Presidential Election 2020 and finally landed in 2024. The subject changed to Swiss Direct Democracy, Brexit, Myanmar Coup. The Group, interestingly, entered into the ‘Happiness Index’ of the top 10 country’s research. Dorzah is also Trump's fan. The Group’s debate on the politics between Pasu and Dorzah did not affect their true love. The 1330th Kural reminded us, “Quarrelling adds delight to love; a hearty embrace [thereafter] adds delight to this quarrel.” Thirukkural was penned 2,000 years back by Thiruvalluvar and translated into 42 international languages.
