Environmental Contaminants’ Effects on Gender

/0 Comments/in /by

Wk 3: Discuss 1 Discussion Prompt 1: Environmental Contaminants’ Effects on Gender Scientists have started to study the effects of chemicals on the environment and human physiology. The presence of chemicals from medication, household cleaning supplies and those added to food sources are of growing concern. Scientists continue to study the effects of these substances on human development and their effects on gender, sexual characteristics and reproduction. Because of the effect of these chemicals on the endocrine system, they have been termed Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals, or EDCs. Assignment Expectations This discussion assignment will use the information from the self-guided presentation on Sex and Gender that you viewed previously in this unit. Before moving on, make sure you understand sexual differentiation (the biological determination of sex) and the developmental differences between male and female fetus’ and young children. You will also want to take a look at sex hormones and their relationship to both organizing effects and activating effects. (Hint: If you have additional questions about this material, ask your course facilitator!) Next, review the following scientific articles from Environmental Health Perspectives and any other researched information you may find. Journal Articles: EDCs and Gender Issues EDCs in Water and Food Supply Effects of Phytoestrogen EDCs and Disease Susceptibility Endocrine Society Scientific Statement** **This is a lengthier article. You may wish to review the introduction and then choose two categories of EDC disruption to focus on in place of reviewing the entire of the article. After thoroughly reviewing the articles, compose an initial discussion prompt post that explains how Endocrine-Disrupting Chemicals (EDCs) disrupt sexual differentiation. Provide an example that illustrates the result of the disruption on sexual differentiation and the long-term effects of this disruption. You should be able to find several examples of EDCs affecting gender issues, the timing of puberty, etc. Your post should include in-text citations and at least 150 words. Be sure to continue this discussion through follow-up posts with your fellow learners, sharing additional insight and observation. Follow-up posts should include at least 100 words.

Endangered Species birds

/0 Comments/in /by

An endangered species of bird was discovered within a wilderness area located on a local farmer’s land. The farmer has been approached by a developer interested in purchasing his land. The sale of this land would allow the farmer to retire and live comfortably for the rest of his life. Local wildlife preservation groups and environmental protection groups want the wilderness area preserved to maintain the habitat for this endangered bird. If the wilderness patch must be preserved, the developer will not buy the land. “This little patch of land is not crucial for the bird species!” the farmer says, “In fact, my land is surrounded by several other wilderness patches that also have that bird.” I need to have the question in bold answered in your own words. No citations are allowed. “You have been hired by the farmer to evaluate the conservation concerns related to this wilderness area. For your initial post, you will be siding with the farmer”. Do some research and provide a valid argument as to why the wilderness area does not need to be preserved.

Cyber-Infrastructure Connections and Smart Gird Security

/0 Comments/in /by

1. Please focus on the following area , mainly on Smart Grid Security.

Cyber attacks make the vital transportation, energy, communication, water and environmental infrastructure services particularly vulnerable. This threat is underscored by the increasing use of IT and the Internet in infrastructure control systems that also include insecure legacy sub-systems. New innovations such as the smart grid that are making the use of renewable resources possible are increasing the need to integrate corporate IT and the Internet with infrastructure control.

This research tries to identify critical connections between cyber systems and vital infrastructure systems worldwide that are most likely to threaten social and economic security. The research is based on two thrusts: understanding the infrastructure, interconnections, and interfaces with cyber control; and understanding the potential vulnerabilities in that control and the impacts of successful attacks on the infrastructure. 2. Attached file will give you the format instructions 3. include one figure/graph related to the research.
