Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection01:26

Factors Affecting the Risk of Infection

13.3K
The hosts' susceptibility to infection depends on several factors. The integrity of the skin and mucous membranes helps protect the body against microbial attacks. When the skin is altered, the chance of infection, limb loss, and even death increases.
The integrity and count of the white blood cells help the body resist pathogens and fight infection. When impaired, it reduces the body's resistance to pathogens. The acidic pH levels of the gastrointestinal, genitourinary tracts, and skin...

Global Climate Change

28.8K
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.

What is Climate?01:16

What is Climate?

20.6K
Climate refers to the prevailing weather conditions in a specific area over an extended period. As the saying goes, “Climate is what you expect. Weather is what you get.” Climate is influenced by geographic factors, such as latitude, terrain, and proximity to bodies of water.

Muscles that Move the Arm01:31

Muscles that Move the Arm

4.7K
Nine muscles are involved in arm movements. Two of these, the pectoralis major and latissimus dorsi, originate from the axial skeleton and are called axial muscles. The other seven originate from the scapula and are called the scapular muscles.
The pectoralis major has two origins. Its clavicular head originates on the medial half of the clavicle. In contrast, the sternocostal head originates on the costal cartilages of ribs 1-6, the sternum, and the aponeurosis of the external oblique of the...

Relative Risk01:12

Relative Risk

2.0K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance01:20

Frustration and Conflict: Approach-Approach, Approach-Avoidance

502
Frustration occurs when people are obstructed or prevented from achieving a desired goal or fulfilling a perceived need. For example, when someone's input is ignored in a discussion, it can lead to feelings of frustration. Conflict, however, arises from opposing interests, goals, or actions. Conflicts can take various forms based on the nature of these opposing desires or goals.
One common type of conflict is the Approach–Approach Conflict. In this case, a person faces two desirable...

Summary

Experts agree climate change impacts organized armed conflict, but socioeconomic factors are more influential. Understanding the precise climate-conflict mechanisms remains uncertain, though future risks are expected to rise.

Area of Science:

  • Interdisciplinary research integrating climate science, political science, and sociology.
  • Focus on the complex interplay between environmental factors and human conflict.

Background:

  • Diverse and contested research findings on the climate-conflict nexus.
  • Need for expert consensus on the influence of climate on organized armed conflict.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the current expert understanding of the relationship between climate and conflict.
  • To identify key drivers and uncertainties in climate-conflict linkages.

Main Methods:

  • Structured judgments from a diverse panel of interdisciplinary experts.
  • Qualitative assessment of expert opinions on climate's role in conflict.

Main Results:

  • Experts concur that climate influences internal organized armed conflict.
  • Socioeconomic development and state capabilities are considered more significant drivers.
  • Mechanisms linking climate and conflict are identified as a key area of uncertainty.

Conclusions:

  • Climate change is acknowledged as a factor in conflict, but not the primary driver.
  • Further research is needed to elucidate the specific pathways of climate-conflict interactions.
  • Projected intensification of climate change is anticipated to elevate future conflict risks.
