The coronavirus is usually transmitted by droplets, such as those produced when coughing and sneezing,
and by direct or indirect contact with secretions infected by the virus. The virus may also shed in blood, urine and
faeces, and, therefore, there is potential for transmission through contact with a wide range of bodily fluids.
Certainly, person-to-person spread has been confirmed in community and healthcare settings across Asia and into
Europe. There is also a possibility that asymptomatic carriers may be able to infect people. Public Health England
(PHE) has classified the COVID-19 infection as an airborne, high consequence infectious disease (HCID) in the
UK.
The application of infection prevention and control (IPC) principles are already widely used by healthcare
professionals within hospital and community settings to both prevent the spread of infections and to control
outbreaks when they do occur. The WHO has issued interim guidance regarding IPC when COVID-19 is
suspected. This advice is echoed by guidance issued by PHE.
PHE suggests the coronavirus may pose complications, such as illness pneumonia or severe acute
respiratory infection. They also suggest that patients with long-term conditions or are immunocompromised are at
risk of these complications. It is important that as first-line staff, midwives are also familiar with the recommended
IPC principles and measures, and ensure they have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when
caring for a patient with suspected COVID-19.

A surgical mask is a loose-fitting, disposable device that creates a physical barrier between the mouth
and nose of the wearer and potential contaminants in the immediate environment. Surgical masks are
regulated under 21 CFR 878.4040. Surgical masks are not to be shared and may be labelled as surgical,
isolation, dental, or medical procedure masks. They may come with or without a face shield. These are often
referred to as face masks, although not all face masks are regulated as surgical masks.
Surgical masks are made in different thicknesses and with different ability to protect you from contact
with liquids. These properties may also affect how easily you can breathe through the face mask and how
well the surgical mask protects you.
If worn properly, a surgical mask is meant to help block large-particle droplets, splashes, sprays, or
splatter that may contain germs (viruses and bacteria), keeping it from reaching your mouth and nose.
Surgical masks may also help reduce exposure of your saliva and respiratory secretions to others.
While a surgical mask may be effective in blocking splashes and large-particle droplets, a face mask, by
design, does not filter or block very small particles in the air that may be transmitted by coughs, sneezes, or
certain medical procedures. Surgical masks also do not provide complete protection from germs and other
contaminants because of the loose fit between the surface of the face mask and your face.
Surgical masks are not intended to be used more than once. If your mask is damaged or soiled, or if
breathing through the mask becomes difficult, you should remove the face mask, discard it safely, and replace
it with a new one. To safely discard your mask, place it in a plastic bag and put it in the trash. Wash your
hands after handling the used mask.

Culture is the lens with which we evaluate everything around us; we evaluate what is proper or
improper, normal or abnormal, through our culture. If we are immersed in a culture that is unlike our own, we
may experience culture shock and become disoriented when we come into contact with a fundamentally
different culture. People naturally use their own culture as the standard to judge other cultures; however,
passing judgment could reach a level where people begin to discriminate against others whose “ways of
being” are different than their own—essentially, we tend to fear that which we do not understand.
Cultural diversity is important because our country, workplaces, and schools increasingly consist of various
cultural, racial, and ethnic groups. We can learn from one another, but first we must have a level of understanding
about each other in order to facilitate collaboration and cooperation. Learning about other cultures helps us
understand different perspectives within the world in which we live and helps dispel negative stereotypes and
personal biases about different groups.
In addition, cultural diversity helps us recognize and respect “ways of being” that are not necessarily
our own, so that as we interact with others, we can build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across
cultures. Furthermore, this diversity makes our country a more interesting place to live, as people from
diverse cultures contribute language skills, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences.

The authors noted that while other forms of pollution are decreasing, noise pollution has been
increasing. This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that there has been an increase in the number of people
who have been complaining about excessive noise in the WHO region. Populations that are exposed to high
noise levels can be afflicted by other symptoms such as: stress reactions, sleep-stage changes, and clinical
symptoms like hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. All these impacts can contribute to premature
mortality. It is important to note that these adverse health problems impact all age groups including children
and adolescents. In fact, it has been reported that children who live and or study in an area afflicted with noise
pollution tend to suffer from stress, impairments in memory and attention as well as difficulty reading.
“In Western Europe, the guidelines say, traffic noise results in an annual loss of at least one million
healthy years”. Traffic noise is currently ranked second among environmental threats to public health.
The danger of noise pollution is more present to us when we are asleep. Because the human ear is so
sensitive, it never rests, it is always working, picking up and transmitting sounds for our brains to interpret.
This always on working process is where the danger lies, though you may be sleeping, sounds are still being
picked up and processed. The most common side effects of this phenomenon are sleep disturbance and
tiredness, impaired memory, judgment, and psychomotor skills. The other more serious outcomes of this can
be the triggering of the body’s acute stress response, which raises blood pressure and heart rate as the body
and brain go into a state of hyperarousal. According to the European Environment Agency, at least 10,000
cases of premature deaths from noise exposure occur each year, although incomplete data mean this number
is significantly underestimated.

Most Americans have at least some daily interaction with people who do not share their race or
ethnicity, but relatively small shares say they have a lot of interaction. This is particularly the case for whites
interacting with racial or ethnic minorities and nonwhites interacting with minority groups other than their
own.
About a quarter of white adults say they interact with blacks and Hispanics a lot in their day-to-day life.
Among blacks, 26% say they have a lot of interaction with people who are Hispanic, while one-in-five
Hispanics say they have frequent interaction with people who are black. About one in-ten whites, blacks and
Hispanics say they interact with Asians a lot in their daily life.
A majority of Asians say they have frequent daily interaction with whites, more than the share of blacks
and Hispanics who say the same. About one-in-four Asians say they have a lot of interaction with people who
are Hispanic and 15% say the same about people who are black.
Asians are less likely than whites, blacks and Hispanics to say they have a lot of interaction with people
in their own group. The extent to which Americans interact with various racial or ethnic groups reflects, at
least in part, the shares of each group in the population.

Question 34: The word “frequent” in paragraph 2 mostly means ______.

Question 35: Which of the following is TRUE about Hispanics’ daily interaction?

There are several ways to measure how often men and women appear in news photos. One way is to
think about all the photos together as making up one big crowd of people and estimating what share are
women versus men. Women made up 33% of all the 53,067 individuals identified in news post images, while
men made up the other 67%.
Another way to look at the data is to examine the mix of people who appear in each image. Across the
22,342 posts with photos containing identifiable human faces, more than half of them exclusively showed
men, while less than a quarter showed exclusively women. The remaining images show at least one man and
one woman.
All 17 news outlets included in the study showed more men than women in news images on Facebook
during the study period. The share of individuals who were identified as women by the model ranges from
25% to 46%, by outlet.
While these findings are striking, there is no perfect benchmark or “true ratio” for how often men and
women should be portrayed in news images on social media. Yes, the U.S. population is divided nearly in
half, male versus female. But, for example, all the representational coverage of professional football teams
would return results overwhelmingly dominated by male faces. Coverage of the U.S. Senate – currently 25%
female – might do the same. In addition, the analysis did not address whether the content of the news stories
that accompanied the images was more focused on men or women.
The analysis also reveals other ways that men are more prominent in news images on Facebook. In
photos that showed two or more people, men tend to outnumber women. And men’s faces take up more space
when shown, with the average male face being 10% larger than the average female face across all photos with
people.

Just as you designate and separate your physical workspace, you should be clear about when you’re
working and when you’re not. You’ll get your best work done and be most ready to transition back to the
office if you stick with your regular hours. Plus, if your role is collaborative, being on the same schedule as
your coworkers makes everything much easier.
“The biggest difference between working from home and working in the office is that you are in charge
of your environment and have to treat yourself like an employee,” Yurovsky says. This means holding
yourself accountable, but also recognizing when enough is enough, just as a good manager might. “If you
feel yourself extending your work hours because you are not doing anything in the evening...tell yourself it’s
time to put work away, recharge, and start tomorrow with a fresh mind. The work will be there in the
morning.”
If you live with other people, this separation is even more critical. Communicate with the people whom
you live with to establish boundaries so you can cut down on distractions during the workday—and then
disconnect and give the people you care about your full attention. Having a separate time and space to work
will allow you to be more present in your home life.

Today, Snyder is seeing the fruits of the collaboration. In a recent issue of the Journal of Comparative
Psychology (Vol. 117, No. 3), the research group published the first study of giant panda cub-rearing and
separation. The study is the first step in examining the impact of a common breeding practice in China:
separating captive cubs before they are six months old so that the mothers will be able to reproduce again
sooner. Cubs in the wild stay with their mothers for 1.5 to 2.5 years.
Snyder and her co-authors, including Maple and psychologist Mollie Bloomsmith, PhD, theorize that
separating cubs from their mothers too early may harm their social development, and could underlie why so
many captive pandas fail to breed. Captive males often show little sexual interest in females or are too
aggressive.
The research team has also conducted urinary and behavioral analyses of female giant pandas during
the breeding season, which is generally in the spring, and is examining the behavior of giant panda mothers.
Graduate student Megan Wilson, who also has worked in Chengdu, is investigating sequences of play-
fighting for her dissertation. And former graduate student and Chengdu researcher Loraine Tarou, PhD,
examined giant panda cognition.
Tarou, now an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University in Michigan, is the first to examine
how captive pandas forage for food and learn to adapt to changes in their environment. She compared her
findings with the cognition of the spectacled bear and found that while both use spatial memory to find food,
the spectacled bears used visual cues the pandas did not pick up on.
The finding indicates that giant pandas' reliance on spatial memory alone may cause them to have
difficulty when their food sources are abruptly changed or moved--a big problem for an animal that consumes
nearly 30 pounds of bamboo a day.
While such basic research may not have immediate application, says Tarou, it is contributing to
scientists' growing knowledge of the species.

In 2007, at a heavily hyped press event in San Francisco, Apple co-founder Steve Jobs stood on stage
and unveiled a revolutionary product that not only broke the mould but also set an entirely new paradigm for
computer-based phones. The look, interface and core functionality of nearly every smartphone to come along
since is, in some form or another, derived from the original iPhone’s innovative touchscreen-centric design.
Among some of the ground-breaking features was an expansive and responsive display from which to
check email, stream video, play audio, and browse the internet with a mobile browser that loaded full
websites, much like what is experienced on personal computers. Apple’s unique iOS operating system
allowed for a wide range of intuitive gesture-based commands and eventually, a rapidly growing warehouse
of downloadable third-party applications.
Most importantly, the iPhone reoriented people’s relationship with smartphones. Up to then, they were
generally geared toward businesspeople and enthusiasts who saw them as an invaluable tool for staying
organized, corresponding over email, and boosting their productivity. Apple’s version took it to a whole other
level as a full-blown multimedia powerhouse, enabling users to play games, watch movies, chat, share
content, and stay connected to all the possibilities that we are all still constantly rediscovering.

Obesity is associated with a shorter lifespan and with an increased risk of many chronic diseases. The
good news is that just being somewhat overweight does not reduce your longevity, and for those over the age of
65, it is actually better to be on the high side of normal than the low side.
A 2018 study (part of the Framingham heart study) looked at body mass index and mortality over a period
of 24 years. For those who were obese, people that had a body mass index of 30 to 35 had a 27% increase in
mortality, and those who had a body mass index of 35 to 40 had a 93% increase.
What weight is ideal? Among those who were overweight but not obese (had a body mass index
between 25 and 30), mortality was only increased among those who also smoked. People with a body mass
index on the high side of normal (e.g. 24) had the lowest mortality.
There isn't any real magic when it comes to maintaining (or getting to) a normal body mass index.
Eating a healthy diet, not too much and avoiding empty calorie, and exercising daily, even if it's fun activities
such as gardening, are the true "secret."
In the past, eating breakfast was stressed as necessary for optimal health. Research is now changing that
thought, and intermittent fasting (going for 13 or more hours each day without eating) may have some benefits.
Though the concept and research to back it up are young, intermittent fasting may help with weight loss and
appears to have benefits in cancer risk reduction as well.
If you are struggling, talk with your doctor. But keep in mind that fad diets do not work, and your
greatest chance of success lies in adopting long-term healthy eating patterns and engaging in regular physical
activity for life.

Market research analysts help companies figure out what to sell, who will buy their products and
services, and how to promote them. They design surveys that are used to help discover potential customers'
preferences. These marketing professionals then train and supervise interviewers who conduct these surveys
online, by telephone, or through interviews with individuals or focus groups.
In addition to taking surveys, market research analysts are responsible for keeping track of client
industry trends and general marketing trends, as well as forecasting these markets to provide companies with
proposals and information of the products, services, promotions and all relevant data to help management in
their marketing decisions.
There are now new tools that analysts can use, such as geofencing, which uses GPS or similar
technology to build a virtual fence around a business and offer targeted advertisements to a customer’s phone
as he or she walks through a store. Eye-tracking, which monitors how your eye travels around a website, is
another technology market research analysts use.
The process of collecting and analysing data is logical and quantifiable; figuring out why target
audiences might be attracted to a particular product is not. This is why some of the most successful market
analysts seem to understand human emotions and psychology as much as they understand logic.

In 1928 the decision was made to stop constructing the statue of Christ of the Redeemer and to review
the project on a more solid basis. It must be said that in the meantime the sketch of the project had spread
widely, which was not abnormal in the country of football. If one adds the technical difficulties in making
such a statue one comes to the conclusion that it is necessary to see everything again and make a different
statue.
Da Silva Costa then went to Europe to meet the artists who had managed to make such statues. He
surrounded himself with different people: the artist Carlos Oswald resumed the general form: Christ would be
himself the cross, his outstretched arms signifying the redemption of mankind at the crucifixion. Such a statue
required considerable effort, so traditional materials such as cast iron or copper could not be used. It was a
new material that was chosen, something innovative: concrete. But nobody really knew how to dose it, how to
use it. Silva Costa asked Albert Caquot, a French engineer, to take on the role of the designer of internal
architecture. It is he who will make the concrete part, as well as all the calculations that go with it.
Da Silva Costa asked Antoine Bourdelle, who had worked with Rodin and who was one of those
approached to make a model a 4m high ladder from Oswald's drawings. But it did not end with him, and
finally it was the French sculptor Paul Landowski, of Polish origin, who was chosen as responsible for the
construction of the monument. He asked Gheorghe Leonida, a Romanian sculptor, to take care of the face of
Christ, a delicate operation, but otherwise the spots were simple: Silva Costa was the designer of the statue,
Carlos Oswald the draftsman, Paul Landowski the sculptor, aided by Gheorghe Leonida. But there was still a
problem to be solved: We still did not know how to make a concrete architecture so imposing, so there was a
link in the chain.

The first book fair was held in Frankfurt not many years after the first book came off of Gutenberg's
printing press in Mainz, just spitting distance away. For centuries, the city of Frankfurt has been a centre of
banking and commerce in Europe and references to the Frankfurter Messe date back to 1150. According to
some sources, book trade fairs have been held in Frankfurt since 1478 and have long been of international
importance. In his book, The History of the Frankfurt Book Fair, author Peter Weidhaas (a former director of
the fair, from 1975 - 2000), writes that King Henry VIII sent Sir Thomas Bodley as his personal emissary to
the Frankfurt Book Fair to purchase books for the new library at Oxford University.
But the book publishing trade in Frankfurt began to be hampered by the Catholic Counter-Reformation
religious movement when censorship was "...institutionalized in the form of the Index of Forbidden Books
and volumes of literature were now deemed inappropriate for public consumption." By the mid-seventeenth
century, Frankfurter Messe's pre-eminence as the centre of the book publishing trade had faded as the
Protestant-dominated city of Leipzig rose to be the centre of the book industry.
Frankfurt renewed its illustrious book fair history in September of 1949 when 205 German exhibitors
held the first post-World War II book fair. Since then, the Frankfurt Book Fair has grown to the huge
international publishing event it is today.

That first year, Sydney made a really special effort to make Earth Hour a success. The famous Coca-
Cola sign at Kings Cross was switched off for the first time since 1973. Coke even had someone sitting in the
sign to make sure it went off properly. Many buildings also took Earth Hour as an opportunity to
permanently change their lighting system so most lights are switched off at night.
Around the city, all sorts of groups and people became involved. One group did yoga by candlelight,
Miss Vanessa did a drag show by torchlight; there was even a wedding by candlelight. 20,000 to 30,000
people were expected to take part. But in the end, 2.2 million people participated, or 56 percent of the Sydney
population. The following year, 58 percent took part.
"One of the reasons Earth Hour has been so successful is because anyone can take part and it’s self-
policing. We want it to be about hope not despair, and for the initiative to have a street party rather than a
street protest feel," explains Andy.
Andy says the broad global support for the event has created a "visual mandate for governments to lead
in the area of climate change. As individuals, we can only do so much; to really cut emissions, we need
government policy."
"The beauty of Earth Hour is that it is really the first time the entire world has been able to vote on how
they feel about climate change; anyone from kids upward can vote with their light switch on Earth Hour day. It
really shows the community wants action on climate change," he says.
In 2008, only the second year in Earth Hour’s history, 50 to 100 million people around the world
switched off their lights for one hour, the biggest voluntary power down in history. More than 370 cities,
towns and municipalities took part in more than 35 countries across seven continents, including Antarctica,
across more than 18 different time zones.
