Identify and describe in detail the single most important thing you learned about how you respond to stress that you would like to change or improve to help you reduce and prevent stress in the future. Explain why you selected this particular aspect of yourself as the most critical for helping you reduce or prevent stress in the future. Your response should demonstrate insight, thoughtfulness, and specificity about what you have learned about yourself (200-250 words)

What is your stress reduction and prevention plan going forward? Identify and describe at least3 behaviors or lifestyle factors you have identified in your own life throughout this course that would be helpful to adopt or change in order to help you reduce or prevent stress. Explain in detail howeach one of these 3 behaviors plays a role in helping you reduce or prevent stress (e.g. how do these behaviors actually work â your answer should reflect an understanding of the mechanisms underlying how each of these behaviors impacts the physiology or psychology of the stress response). (350-400 words)

Need answer for this and it has must be 250 words and the answer must relate to the question. Please also reference any sources (quotes) you use at the end of your response.

1. The hydrologic system purifies water in nature. Find way that humans mimic this system to purify the water that we use.

2. We hear a lot about climate change and global warming. Do some research on how global warming is affecting the glaciers present today and how that can affect us now and in the future.

3. How could scientists have found similar life forms from the same Mesozoic era on different continents.

4. What is the Ring of Fire? Where is it located and why is it the way it is?â

5. A volcano is a natural occurrence and generally thought of as a disaster. How can volcanos be good for people?

6. Catastrophism was the prevailing theory as to why the earth looked like it did in the 1600âs and 1700âs. Talk about what the theory was, why it was popular and why we know better today.

7. Why is global warming affecting the salinity of the worldâs oceans and why is this important. What effects does this have?

8. Humans, including myself, love the beach. Most people dream of having a house right on the water. However with the shore being such a dynamic, changing environment this isnât always such a great idea. Talk about some of the lengths humans go to to preserve their costal properties and communities.

9. Please discuss the depletion of our ozone layer. Why we should care, what is causing it and what can we do to stop it?

10. Water is a huge part of our atmosphere and the cause all of our precipitation. Describe the weather in your area today or in this season and describe the science behind the weather and what is happening in the atmosphere around you. Example: humid, dry, raining, snowing, sleet, freezing rain, fog, hail.

For this assignment, Part One of your course project, assume the role of Dr. Madness. Your rogue nation seeks global domination. With a bare bones laboratory and your exhaustive microbiological and epidemiological knowledge, you (Dr. Madness) decide that the best way to rule the world is to create and disseminate the perfect biological weapon.

For this part of the assignment, you will develop your weapon from the ground up. Discuss nearly all of the epidemiological criteria related to it, and justify and discuss why it is used and how effective it is. This agent could be a hybrid of other biological pathogens or an entirely new one. If the agent is newly created, there must be some basis and epidemiological support of a similar agent by which you can base your justification. In other words, it will be unrealistic to create an airborne virus that inoculates and kills within one hour. There must be a realistic exposure and incubation time and must be supported through current agent biology or biochemistry (for example, influenza exposure and incubation takes 1â4 days).

Name of Agent: Explain why you chose the name. If it is a biological agent, be sure to provide a taxonomic name

Etiology: This will talk about the genesis of your agent. Where was it discovered? How was it made? How long has it been around? Why was this agent created? What were the social and economic factors of your rogue nation that made Dr. Madness focus on this element of the agent? What are the environmental precursors to this agent? Discuss the interaction among agent, host, and environment.

Identification: This will describe the basics of the agent. Is it a bacteria, virus, toxin, parasite, hybrid, or something else? Discuss how your agent presents within the human population. What are the symptoms in humans? What are the (zoonotic) symptoms in animals? How does the disease progress? Are there stages? Discuss the various stages including length of infection, severity, and the like. What are the diagnostic indicators? How would a doctor be able to identify this agent in a clinic or emergency room?

Laboratory Analysis: How will the agent be identified? Can it be grown in media? What type of laboratory methods can be used to identify the agent (microscopy, chromatography, PCR, and so on)?

Occurrence: This is the epi: who, what, when, where, how, and why of the disease. Where does it happen? When can it be found? Who is most and least susceptible to the agent (risk factors). More exotic and hard to find agents are harder to prevent and control but are also more difficult to initiate an epidemic or pandemic, whereas more generalized and known agents may be easier to cure, but have a much wider swath of causing pandemics. How do socioeconomic factors foster or inhibit the spread of disease?

Reservoir: What is the natural reservoir of the agent? Are there other organisms where this agent can reside without causing disease? Increasing the reservoir can enhance transmission but can also allow for easier identification and treatment in response to it.

Mode of Transmission: Consider inhalation, absorption, digestion, contact, and so forth. If you use multiple modes, justify your selections.

Incubation Period: Provide the range with an average (median) day of disease onset. Does the period change in different socioeconomic status identifiers (sex, age, race, creed, and so on)? Why or why not?

Period of communicability: How long is a person with this agent contagious? Increasing this period also increases the opportunity for study and thus treatment and control.

Susceptibility: Is the agent susceptible to reinfection of the same person? Allowing for this increases morbidity but usually mortality wanes in subsequent infections.

Taking on the role of Dr. Madness, generate your superweapon and describe the weapon using the above mentioned criteria. Remember, the focus in on creating something that becomes difficult to identify, monitor, or treat with prophylaxis. You will write out the proposal as Dr. Madness submitting this to his lead researcher to develop. This proposal should be approximately 6â8 pages in length, but some submissions may be longer.

Submit your Bioweapons and Epidemiology Part One proposal in the assignment area.

Please be sure to review the Bioweapons and Epidemiology Part One Scoring Guide for information on how this assignment is graded.
