Assignment  Title: Water management has extraordinary implications for the health of a  community (potable water), agriculture and ecological health. To  complete this assignment, choose a location where water allocation is an  issue.  Lake Lanier, GA, water resources in Israel and West Bank, or  any appropriate cite is acceptable. Prepare a short paper (about 300  words) on the major issues surrounding the allocation of water in your  chosen location and the impact of water on public health. Be sure to  include relevant data and citations as appropriate.   this is what I wrote ;  Jordan has one of the lowest levels of water availability per capita in  the world (1). The continues wares in the middles east and with the  refugees fleeing to Jordan adding a dramatic population increase, and  the population expected to double by 2047, meeting water demand has  become even more critical. The U.S has been partnering with the  Jordanian government in many programs to resolving the water shortage in  the country.   Since the 1950’s the USAID/Jordan programs were focusing on  infrastructure, expanding and rehabilitating water supply systems  (wells, cisterns, springs, irrigation canals), and training hundreds of  water experts. In the present time the USAID built and renovated several  water networks and wastewater treatment plants, and supported a  desalination plant near the Dead Sea to provide additional drinking  water to over one million of Amman’s residents (1). One of the largest  agricultural and ecological health challenges that Jordan faces today is  the inadequacy of water. Definitely, water is the significant feature  in the population/resource equation where water resources in Jordan are  limited and the country′s population has continued to rise (2). A high  rate of natural population growth, combined with massive influxes of  refugees, has transformed into an imbalance condition between population  and water (2). Jordan is the third-driest country in the world, and  more than 600,000 Syrian refugees are now living there alongside their  Jordanian neighbors (3). There simply isn’t enough water to go around, and people must ration  enough to use for drinking, bathing, and cooking. The lack of sufficient  water causes stress, serious health problems, and tension between  native Jordanians and Syrian refugees. Many international organizations  has been working closely with the local Jordanian agencies to rebuild  the aging water system so that both Jordanian and Syrian refugee  families have enough clean water to stay healthy. Water availability and quality is a major public health concern as the  adequacy and the condition of the water supplies plays a huge factor in  sanitation and disease controls. Worldwide public health concerns  related to fresh drinking water and its safety from toxic substances,  sanitation and accessibility (4). 1- https://www.usaid.gov/jordan/water-and-wastewater-infrastructure 2- https://www.researchgate.net/publication/222136110_Water_shortage_in_Jordan_-_Sustainable_solutions 3- https://www.mercycorps.org/articles/jordan-syria/qa-what-you-need-know-about-water-scarcity-jordan 4- http://panmore.com/water-supply-shortage-human-impact-public-health.  The professor said that this is poor paper for the assignment and it has  high plagiarism %  plagiarism free  ″

L.N. is a 49-year-old white woman with a history of type 2 diabetes, obesity, hypertension, and migraine headaches. The patient was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 9 years ago when she presented with mild polyuria and polydipsia. L.N. is 5′4″ and has always been on the large side, with her weight fluctuating between 165 and 185 lb.

Initial treatment for her diabetes consisted of an oral sulfonylurea with the rapid addition of metformin. Her diabetes has been under fair control with a most recent hemoglobin A1c of 7.4%.

Hypertension was diagnosed 5 years ago when blood pressure (BP) measured in the office was noted to be consistently elevated in the range of 160/90 mmHg on three occasions. L.N. was initially treated with lisinopril, starting at 10 mg daily and increasing to 20 mg daily, yet her BP control has fluctuated.

One year ago, microalbuminuria was detected on an annual urine screen, with 1,943 mg/dl of microalbumin identified on a spot urine sample. L.N. comes into the office today for her usual follow-up visit for diabetes. Physical examination reveals an obese woman with a BP of 154/86 mmHg and a pulse of 78 bpm.

Questions

1. What are the effects of controlling BP in people with diabetes?
2. What is the target BP for patients with diabetes and hypertension?
3. Which antihypertensive agents are recommended for patients with diabetes?

From BBC News on the San Bernardino, CA December 2015 killings: “President Obama says the U.S. ‘will not be terrorized’ by the deadly San Bernardino shootings, which the FBI is treating as an act of terrorism.”   Inspired by the aims and ideology of ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) which has claimed the two killers as supporters, “Syed Rizwan Farook, 28, and his wife Tashfeen Malik, 29, killed 14 people before being shot dead by police” (bbc.com/news 12/5/15).

In Paris on November 13, 2015, 130 people were killed by coordinated terrorist attacks in three different locations at the same time.   The French President Francois Hollande subsequently declared “France is at war.  We are in a war against terrorism, jihadism, which threatens the whole world.  Terrorism will not destroy France because France will destroy it” (cnn.com 11/16/15).

And you also know about more recent terrorist killings this year such as the terrorist who used a truck to mow down innocent people, including children, in Nice, France, and more than 80 people were killed.

For our week discussion forum, please answer two of the following three questions but be sure you answer question three as one of the two you’re answering:

[1] In your view, are the terrorists winning?  If yes, then what does that mean and how do you know?  If no, then what does that mean and how do you know?

[2] In the face of today’s terrorism, does the warning of the 19th century German Philosopher apply to us?  How might it relate to just war principles?  Explain.  “Whoever fights monsters should be careful that he does not become a monster.  When you stare into an abyss, the abyss stares back into you” (Beyond Good and Evil, #146).

[3] On her 16th birthday, the youngest recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, Malala Yousafzi addressed the U.N. as a devout Muslim who had been shot in the head by the Taliban in Pakistan in 2012.  Listen to her speech and then share your response to her views on terrorists and how she has chosen to respond.  Is Malala a pacifist?  Is she arguing against just war theory?
