Professor Kok Interview

In today’s world we seem to put aside things that we consider no longer a threat. Well we are wrong to do this, because HIV/AIDS still affects over 5.4 million people that are walking around with this infection or full blown AIDS. They are friends, Criminals, neighbors, and even children attending school, etc. So, why do we think it is ok to not worry about a problem that does not have a cure, but only a life time of meds? Within this qualitative research method, we will explore Sexual risk, there or the Measures, Sexual risk, method, demographics, HIV/AIDS risk and may add other areas as they relate to this study.

Sexually transmitted infections are a very current, modern day health care issue. These infections are passed during unprotected genital, anal or oral sex. There are sometimes symptoms of the various infections however there are some infections that can also be symptom free and therefore can go undetected for quite some time. Young people in the UK typically aged 15-24 have the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections. There is a link between this age group and those living in socioeconomically deprived areas, suggesting these particular regions need better and easier access to healthcare services in order to detect, treat and avoid further spreading and damage caused by the infections. Raising awareness of the causes of each infection and symptoms is vital. The most common types of infections are: Chlamydia, Genital herpes and warts, gonorrhea,

Out of all volunteers, the one who relates to Chen the most was Michael Starsiak. In his interview he says that he wasn’t ready for the Morgue Volunteer because the smell, touch, sound, and taste were things he wasn’t prepared for. Chen was also not ready handle death of patients and she had hard time getting over it. During human dissection, she had a difficult time dealing with the smell of formaldehyde. However, Michael’s case was far more extreme than Chen’s because 911 is a day that everyone remembers and something that can’t be forgotten. Chen said, “she needed to begin to detach herself emotionally from the experience” (Chen, 2007, 9) and Michael said, “you detach, you dehumanize” (Starsiak, 2013) to get through it. This shows that

In the Radio Lab the Authors illustrates how HIV is spreading in United States and how the starting point begins as Patient Zero. Jad Abumrad and Robert Krulwich along with Carl Zimmer and David Quammen discuss how in 1981 a mysterious syndrome it became in a pandemic among homosexual people in important cities such as Los Angeles Ney York and San Francisco. Young men were dying in inexplicable conditions that the CDC had to intervene with a several researches, surveys and studies about those cases. During the research noticed that one man were most related with more cases, this person was Gaetan Dugas, a Canadian young men, who travel to US. As he knew he was going to die, he stared to spread the disease for something he called a “gay cancer”.

The person I interviewed was Laurie Kaffka. Laurie Kaffka is a kindergarten teacher at Glenn View. She has worked at several other schools and has been teaching for 14 years and has worked in five different schools, Glenn View being her favorite school she has taught at. Her and I discussed several topics during our email interview. The topic we talked about most was how teaching is not a job for someone who is in it for the money and does not enjoy kids.

The early days of the AIDS epidemic challenged the cartesian nature of biomedical culture. With its emphasis on empiricism, the superior biomedical mind could normally make sense of the inferior patient’s bodily concerns. In the early 80s, though, the scientific method seemed to be failing with AIDS, with no clear biological etiologic agent being identified, and rumors circulated. As the biomedical mind struggled to define and categorize AIDS, the moralistic nature of medical authority revealed itself. Instead of pathology residing in the biology of a patient, it appeared to transcend the patient’s biology and reveal deviant sexual behavior. Instead of being able to treat or study the disease, the diseased bodies were quarantined. Even when it was understood that AIDS had a viral cause, biomedicine’s quarantining practices became subtler, but still perpetuated the social stigma of AIDS patients. In this essay, I examine the nature of AIDS stigma through the lens of two biomedical professionals’ memories of the first decade of the epidemic. One such professional is Dr. M. Robert Hill, M.D. He is a retired internist of 68 years, who used to work at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in Town and Country, Missouri, and treated several AIDS patients before antiretroviral therapy was discovered. The other ethnographic source is Dr. Daniel Hanson, a current Immunology lecturer at Washington University in St. Louis, who was completing his second postdoctoral fellowship in immunology at

In this experiment, we extracted caffeine from a tea bag. First, we had to convert protonated caffeine in tea leaves back to the free base form. So in a 30 mL beaker, we added 30 mL water and 2 g sodium carbonate and after boiling the water we immerged a tea bag in the hot water for about 5 minutes. After the tea bag was slightly cool we squeezed the tea bag to remove all water and caffeine using a funnel and back of a test tube. After that, we again brought the water to boil and immerged another tea bag for another 5 minutes and same technique was used to squeeze the tea bag again. We boiled excess water and poured the solution in a centrifuge tube. We cooled the mixture in an ice bath and after that using 2 mL portion of dichloromethane we

In 1920 a disease would enter the world in change lives of many people around the world. The most powerful scientists and researchers tired to find answers regarding the strange disease but unfortunately they will spend years with unanswered questions. In this research paper, I decided to look back and discuss evidence about the origin of HIV, and find out where, how, and when the disease first began to cause illness in humans. However, this paper will mainly focus on how HIV impacts the community worldwide.

“… he [Heinrich Schliemann] found layers of ruins … and two bore unmistakable signs of violent destruction. One of these layers, the seventh according to more recent excavators, was no doubt the city of Priam and Hector. The historicity of the Homeric tale had been demonstrated archaeologically.” - M.I. Finley, the World of Odysseus

Many seem to be attracted to Jake Slesk, he has the power to turn “everyone’s day around” like he does for neighbor Brecca M. Brecca had a very rough day two weeks ago that caused her to came home early because of her intense headache while Brecca was driving home she began to cry she felt lonely, hurt, and stressed. She pulled into parking lot in front of her house still filled with tears she took a deep breath and went to open her car door but miraculously Jake was at her car door knocking on the window not knowing he had come to the rescue Jake walked Brecca into her house and let her talk about her chaotic day after about two hours when she was tucked in her couch he proceeded to leave. “He willingly helped me if it weren’t for him I would

For my interview I chose my English professor because she is somewhat a harsh critic when it come to our papers and in class work. Instead of making an office appointment she asked me to do this interview after class.

This report will discuss the health assessment of a client who presented to my PEP facility, Clinic 275. Clinic 275 is a confidential and complimentary walk-in sexual health service which provides medical consultation/advice, testing and treatment for sexually transmitted infections (STIs) (SA Health 2016a). Ultimately, this paper will illustrate how an ongoing health assessment, history taking, provision of client education and care options of certain STIs are fundamental to guiding the planning, implementation and evaluation of care for specific people. All information regarding the client, who will be referred to as R, was permitted for use by the facility and will maintain confidentiality in accordance with the guidelines of the Government of South Australia (2015, p.7; Nursing and Midwifery Board of Australia 2016).

Question 1) What was the industrial revolution? When did it occur? How did industrialisation lead to the creation of the design profession? How was the industrial manufacturing of making products new and what role did the designer play in creating new products?

“Epidemiology is the study of the distribution and determinants of health-related states or events (including disease), and the application of this study to the control of diseases and other health problems (WHO, 2015)”. “Various methods can be used to carry out epidemiological investigations: surveillance and descriptive studies can be used to study distribution; analytical studies are used to study determinants (WHO, 2015)”.This paper discusses about epidemiology of HIV infection, including factors that contribute the development of the disease, epidemiologic triangle, role of community health nurse and the national organization that address the communicable disease.
