Sustainable Development

15.1K
As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

533
Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation.

Global Climate Change

28.9K
Throughout its ~4.5 billion year history, the Earth has experienced periods of warming and cooling. However, the current drastic increase in global temperatures is well outside of the Earth’s cyclic norms, and evidence for human-caused global climate change is compelling. Paleoclimatology, the study of ancient climate conditions, provides ample evidence for human-caused global climate change by comparing recent conditions with those in the past.

Design Example: Sustainability in Concrete Building

416
As the construction industry moves towards more eco-friendly practices, concrete's adaptability and its ability to incorporate sustainable features make it a key material in the drive towards greener building solutions.
There are multiple approaches to achieve sustainability in a commercial concrete building. For instance, construct a concrete parking area under the building, utilizing pervious concrete paver blocks in open areas to facilitate rainwater collection through an underground...

Introduction to Global Positioning System01:30

Introduction to Global Positioning System

509
The Global Positioning System (GPS) revolutionized positioning on Earth, providing precise location data through satellite ranging. The GPS system was developed in 1978 by the U.S. Department of Defense  for military use, and it became available for civilian applications in 1983, transforming fields including navigation, fleet management, and time synchronization for telecommunications systems.GPS consists of satellites in medium Earth orbit, about 20,200 kilometers above the surface,...

Errors in Global Positioning System

352
Global Positioning System (GPS) technology has revolutionized navigation and positioning, but its accuracy is often compromised by various errors. These errors, stemming from environmental, satellite, and receiver-related factors, require careful mitigation to ensure reliable performance across applications.Atmospheric ErrorsGPS signals travel through the Earth’s ionosphere and troposphere, introducing delays which affect accuracy. The ionosphere is strongly influenced by charged particles,...

Area of Science:

  • Global Health
  • Health Systems Strengthening
  • Surgical Care

Background:

  • The global surgery field has advanced significantly since 2015, driven by key reports and resolutions.
  • These initiatives highlighted the burden of surgical disease and the importance of surgical care in universal health coverage.
  • Surgery and anesthesia are recognized as essential healthcare components.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the role of National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPs) in achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • To assess the potential impact of NSOAPs on healthcare systems in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia.
  • To explore how NSOAPs can advance SDGs 1, 3, 5, 8, 9, 10, 16, and 17 by 2030.

Main Methods:

  • Review of National Surgical, Obstetric, and Anaesthesia Plans (NSOAPs).
  • Analysis of NSOAPs' contribution to achieving specific Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
  • Focus on healthcare system impacts in Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Zambia.

Main Results:

  • Investment in surgical, obstetric, and anaesthesia services drives progress in gender equality, economic growth, and infrastructure.
  • Addressing financial barriers to surgical care is essential for universal health coverage.
  • NSOAPs offer a strategic framework for evidence-based policy, accountability, and implementation.

Conclusions:
