International Nursing Organizations II01:28

International Nursing Organizations II

1.1K
The World Health Organization (WHO) is a specialized agency of the United Nations based in Geneva. The WHO has many initiatives that center around health. Primarily, they lead global efforts to expand universal health coverage using science-based policies and programs. They are also responsible for shaping health research agendas and developing norms and standards.
The WHO provides expert team support, including funding, vaccines, testing, and treatment tools at the country level to fight...

Weir01:24

Weir

144
A weir is a hydraulic structure designed to partially obstruct an open channel, enabling precise control and measurement of water flow. By forcing water to flow over or through it, a weir allows for accurate determination of discharge rates, making it an essential tool in water resource management. These structures are extensively used in regulating river flows, irrigation systems, and flood control channels.Types of Weirs and Their FeaturesWeirs are categorized primarily into sharp-crested and...

International Nursing Organizations I

1.8K
International Nursing Organization (ICN) is a global union of national nurses' organizations. Individual nurses can be a part of ICN through member organizations. Each member organization strives to ensure quality nursing care, sound health policies, the advancement of nursing knowledge, respect for the profession, and a satisfied and competent nursing workforce.
ICN member organizations work to advance the field of nursing and healthcare via policies, partnerships, lobbying, professional...

Genome-wide Association Studies-GWAS

14.5K
Genome-wide association studies or GWAS are used to identify whether common SNPs are associated with certain diseases. Suppose specific SNPs are more frequently observed in individuals with a particular disease than those without the disease. In that case, those SNPs are said to be associated with the disease. Chi-square analysis is performed to check the probability of the allele likely to be associated with the disease.
GWAS does not require the identification of the target gene involved in...

Virtual Work01:20

Virtual Work

970
The principle of virtual work states that if a body is in static and dynamic equilibrium, then the sum of all the virtual work done by all external forces and couple moments for any given virtual displacement must be zero.
In static equilibrium, a body can experience an imaginary or virtual movement, such as displacement or rotation. The virtual work done by a force is equal to the dot product of force and virtual displacement in the direction of the force. When it comes to virtually rotating a...

Wheatstone Bridge01:29

Wheatstone Bridge

721
An ohmmeter is a resistance-measuring device. It works by applying a voltage to a resistor of unknown resistance and measuring the current across the resistor. The resistance value is deduced using Ohm's law. Usually, the standard configuration of an ohmmeter comprises a voltmeter or an ammeter. However, such configurations are limited in accuracy because the meters alter the voltage applied to the resistor and the current that flows through it.
Thus, for accurate resistance measurements, a...

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Network Analysis
  • International Trade

Background:

  • Global trade involves significant volumes of hazardous waste annually.
  • This waste exchange forms a complex international network.
  • Developed nations are major exporters, often to developing countries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the structure and properties of the global hazardous waste trade network.
  • To model the propagation of waste stress through this network.
  • To identify countries at high risk of hazardous waste mismanagement.

Main Methods:

  • Network analysis of waste flows between 2001-2019, covering 108 waste categories.
  • Dynamical modeling to simulate waste stress propagation.
  • Identification of countries based on Environmental Performance Index and waste congestion risk.

Main Results:

  • Hazardous waste trade is asymmetric, with a disproportionate flow from developed to developing countries.
  • 28 countries with low Environmental Performance Index are identified as high-risk for waste congestion.
  • Evidence of pollution from heavy metals, volatile organic compounds, and persistent organic pollutants linked to improper waste handling in high-risk countries.

Conclusions:

  • The global hazardous waste trade network exhibits significant risks for developing nations.
  • Countries with low environmental performance are vulnerable to hazardous waste accumulation and pollution.
  • Urgent interventions are needed to mitigate the environmental and health impacts of improper hazardous waste disposal.
