bird flu in asia

Bird Flu: In China in 1996, a human was infected with a strain of avian flu called H5N1. In the subsequent 12 years, 400 infections worldwide resulted in approximately 100 deaths, spread out over 9 countries. The media have been unrelenting in their coverage of this disease and its potential role in a global disease outbreak. Research this disease and evaluate whether it is a case of legitimate cause for panic or a case of misinformation and worst-case scenarios. (Its possible that it could be a little of both!)
Your report should include the following:
What virus is responsible? (5 pts)
What is the link with flu and Asia? (5 pts)
What is the primary means of transmission to humans? (5 pts)
What is the mortality rate of this disease? (5 pts)
What would need to happen for this disease to pose a significant global threat (think in terms of transmission)? (5 pts)
Does this virus replicate by the lytic or lysogenic cycle? (2 pts) Describe that process. (5 pts)
How does your body respond to infection by a virus? (5 pts)
What can be done medically for a person infected with a virus? (5 pts)
How is flu vaccine manufactured? (5 pts)
Terms to include and define in your report are: pandemic, mortality, transmission, zoonosis, disease reservoir, pathogen, antibodies, antigen, and antiviral. (1 pt for each term that is included and 1 pt for each term that is defined)
Be sure to include in your conclusion your opinion, based on stated facts, on what is the real scope of the threat posed by this virus. Are we doing enough? Not enough? Too much? (5 pts)
You may use the resources available to you to complete this project. You are encouraged to do at least some of your research online, and to make sure that you have the most up-to-date statistics.

Geography is a highly applied science that has great relevance to the events and activities that surround us daily

This essay assignment is designed to put geography in action. Geography is a highly applied science that has great relevance to the events and activities that surround us daily. This assignment is to be written from the perspective of a geographer. Throughout this essay you must have explicit discussion of and use of geographic analysis- terms and approaches such as: spatial analysis, spatial distribution, spatial variation, spatial diffusion, where and why, human environment interaction, pattern, process, etc. It is vital that you explore this topic within a geographic framework. It must be absolutely clear that this is an essay written for a geography course. You should explicitly discuss the geographic perspective and use spatial analysis to explore this topic. The teacher is most interested in the ability to demonstrate the understanding of geography (themes, concepts, and approach), and the ability to apply that geographic understanding to this assignment: North Africa/Southwest Asia: \”The Middle East\”: Perception vs. Reality.

Most Americans have negative perceptions of the people and place in North Africa/ Southwest Asia (commonly known as the Middle East). For some, even simple hearing the term \”Arab\” evokes these negative perceptions. These misperceptions are typically based on selective information. Most often the Middle East is discussed in terms of terrorism and war. This one-dimensional view of the Middle East not only stereotypes people and perpetuates misconceptions- it also fails to recognize the historical contributions and great cultural diversity that exist in this ancient world region.

This assignment ask you to view the people and places of the Middle East from a geographer\’s perspective. Instead of discussing the Middle East in terms of war and religious fanaticism, address the diversity and complexity of the people and the places in the Middle East.

Some suggested topics include: every day life, music, art, religions, language, food, literature, economic activity. Are war and violence the only dimension to the people and places of this land? Are all people and places the same? Is the entire region a desert? Are all arabs Muslim? What about beaches, dance clubs, and wine production in Lebanon? Celebrating Christmas in the church of Syria? Shopping in some of the world\’s finest malls in Dubai? Production of work famous coffee in Yemen? Discuss the spatial variation of the cultural geography in this region.
