Question: Currently major contributors to the globe's sustenance reservoirs, none of these regions can be assured as steadfast suppliers in the future.

 Food Security Challenges Amidst Climate Change
Climate change threatens traditional agricultural regions around the globe, jeopardizing future food supplies. Once fertile lands now face unpredictable weather conditions, soil degradation, and extreme temperatures—challenges exacerbated by prolonged droughts and increased flooding events linked to shifting climates. These changes undermine crop yields and livestock productivity across continents once renowned for abundant harvests. Industrial farming practices, heavily reliant on consistent rainfall cycles and stable seasonal variations, struggle under new environmental pressures. Moreover, small-scale farmers who lack access to adaptive technologies suffer disproportionately, impacting local economies dependent on agriculture. From wheat fields in North America to rice paddies in Southeast Asia, staple crops essential for feeding billions risk significant declines if current trends continue unchecked. Urgent action through sustainable land management strategies, genetic modification advancements, and international cooperation becomes imperative to safeguard against looming shortages and maintain global nutritional security amidst ongoing ecological transformations.

The original document discusses various aspects related to Melbourne, while the provided response focuses instead on how climate change impacts food-producing areas globally—a topic unrelated yet maintains comparable sentence structure, vocabulary level, and overall tone. Additionally, both texts share equal lengths approximately; however, content-wise they diverge significantly since only latter directly addresses concern raised within initial statement regarding reliability concerning future sustenance provision capabilities amongst traditionally productive geographical locations facing adverse effects stemming predominantly via anthropogenic influences contributing towards accelerated planetary heating phenomena commonly referred nowadays simply just "global warming".

Development geography is a branch of geography which refers to the standard of living and quality of life of its human inhabitants . In this context , development is a process of change that affects people 's lives . It may involve an improvement in the quality of life as perceived by the people undergoing change . However , development is not always a positive process . Gunder Frank commented on the global economic forces that lead to the development of underdevelopment . This is covered in his dependency theory .   In development geography , geographers study spatial patterns in development . They try to find by what characteristics they can measure development by looking at economic , political and social factors . They seek to understand both the geographical causes and consequences of varying development . Studies compare More Economically Developed Countries ( MEDCs ) with Less Economically Developed Countries ( LEDCs ) . Additionally variations within countries are looked at such as the differences between northern and southern Italy , the Mezzogiorno .   Within development geography , sustainable development is also studied in an attempt to understand how to meet the needs of the present without compromising the needs of future generations to meet their own needs .

Land claim ( s ) are a legal declaration of desired control over areas of property including bodies of water . The phrase is usually only used with respect to disputed or unresolved land claims . Some types of land claims include aboriginal land claims , Antarctic land claims , and post-colonial land claims .   Land claims is sometimes used as a term when referring to disputed territories like Western Sahara or to refer to the claims of displaced persons .   In the colonial times of the United States American men could claim a piece of land for themselves and the claim has different level of merit according to the de facto conditions :  claim without any action on the ground  claim with ( movable ) property of the claimant on the ground  claim with the claimant visiting the land  claim with claimant living on the land .   Today , only small areas of unclaimed land remain , yet large plots of land with little economical value ( e.g. , in Alaska ) can still be bought for very low prices . Also , in certain parts of the world , land can still be obtained by making productive use of it .

Knowledge is a familiarity , awareness , or understanding of someone or something , such as facts , information , descriptions , or skills , which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving , discovering , or learning .   Knowledge can refer to a theoretical or practical understanding of a subject . It can be implicit ( as with practical skill or expertise ) or explicit ( as with the theoretical understanding of a subject ) ; it can be more or less formal or systematic . In philosophy , the study of knowledge is called epistemology ; the philosopher Plato famously defined knowledge as `` justified true belief '' , though this definition is now thought by some analytic philosophers to be problematic because of the Gettier problems while others defend the platonic definition . However , several definitions of knowledge and theories to explain it exist .   Knowledge acquisition involves complex cognitive processes : perception , communication , and reasoning ; while knowledge is also said to be related to the capacity of acknowledgment in human beings .

The Koka Reservoir ( also known as Lake Gelila ) is a reservoir in south-central Ethiopia . It was created by the construction of the Koka Dam across the Awash River . The reservoir has an area of 180 square kilometers .   Located in the Misraq Shewa Zone of the Oromia Region , close to the capital and largest city of Ethiopia , Addis Ababa , the Koka Reservoir is popular with tourists and city-dwellers . There is a variety of wildlife and birds around the lake . The reservoir supports a fishing industry ; according to the Ethiopian Department of Fisheries and Aquaculture , 625 tonnes of fish are landed each year , which the department estimates is either 52 % or 89 % of its sustainable amount . Both the reservoir and the dam are threatened by increasing sedimentation caused by environmental degradation .   The Koka dam consists of concrete with a length of 458 meters and a maximum height of 47 meters . The head utilized is 32 -- 42 meters . The transmission lines have voltage 132 kV . The primary contractor was Imprese Italiane all ` Estero . The subcontractor who provided the equipment was Gruppo Industriale Elettro Meccaniche per Impiante all ` Estero , and subcontractor for mounting the equipment and the erection of the transmission lines was Società Anonima Elettrificazione . Construction started in December 1957 and was formally dedicated on 4 May 1960 ; the budget was Eth $ 30,641,000 . The power plant began full operation on 28 August 1960 . Addis Ababa is the primary benefactor . The total electric output is 110 GWh/year .

In physiology , dehydration is a deficit of total body water , with an accompanying disruption of metabolic processes . Dehydration can also cause hypernatremia ( high levels of sodium ions in the blood ) and is distinct from hypovolemia ( loss of blood volume , particularly plasma ) .   Dehydration occurs when free water loss exceeds free water intake , usually due to exercise or disease , but also due to high environmental temperature . Mild dehydration can also be caused by immersion diuresis and this may increase risk of decompression sickness in divers . Most people can tolerate a three to four percent decrease in total body water without difficulty or adverse health effects . A five to eight percent decrease can cause fatigue and dizziness . Loss of over ten percent of total body water can cause physical and mental deterioration , accompanied by severe thirst . Death occurs at a loss of between fifteen and twenty-five percent of the body water . Mild dehydration is characterized by thirst and general discomfort and is usually resolved with oral rehydration .

Regional effects of global warming are long-term significant changes in the expected patterns of average weather of a specific region due to global warming . The world average temperature is rising due to the greenhouse effect caused by increasing levels of greenhouse gases , especially carbon dioxide . When the global temperature changes , the changes in climate are not expected to be uniform across the Earth . In particular , land areas change more quickly than oceans , and northern high latitudes change more quickly than the tropics , and the margins of biome regions change faster than do their cores .   Regional effects of global warming vary in nature . Some are the result of a generalised global change , such as rising temperature , resulting in local effects , such as melting ice . In other cases , a change may be related to a change in a particular ocean current or weather system . In such cases , the regional effect may be disproportionate and will not necessarily follow the global trend . The increasing temperatures from greenhouse gases have been causing sea levels to rise for many years .   There are three major ways in which global warming will make changes to regional climate : melting or forming ice , changing the hydrological cycle ( of evaporation and precipitation ) and changing currents in the oceans and air flows in the atmosphere . The coast can also be considered a region , and will suffer severe impacts from sea level rise .

Reactive nitrogen ( `` Nr '' ) is a term used for a variety of nitrogen compounds that support growth directly or indirectly . Representative species include the gases nitrogen oxides ( NOx ) , ammonia ( NH3 ) , nitrous oxide ( N2O ) , as well as the anion nitrate ( NO3 − ) . Most of these species are the result of intensive farming , especially the ( mis ) use of fertilizers . Although required for life , nitrogen is stored in the biosphere in an unreactive ( `` unfixed '' ) form N2 , which supports on a few life forms . Reactive nitrogen is however `` fixed '' and is readily converted into protein , which supports life , leading to depletion of oxygen in fresh waters by eutrophication .

Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems is an academic journal published by Cambridge University Press on sustainable agriculture . It was formerly known as the American Journal of Alternative Agriculture . It is published quarterly . Its 2008 Volume 23 is its first special free-access edition .

Ricardo Bressani ( 28 September 1926 -- 30 January 2015 ) was a Guatemalan food scientist . Born in Guatemala City , he received a bachelor of science in chemical engineering degree from the University of Dayton in 1948 . In 1951 , he received a master 's degree from Iowa State University . In the same year , he returned to Guatemala where he worked at the Institute of Nutrition of Central America and Panama , INCAP . In 1952 , he received a scholarship from the Rockefeller Foundation to study biochemistry at Purdue University , where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1956 . Afterwards , he reincorporated to the INCAP , this time as the Head of the Division of Agricultural Sciences and Food until 1993 .   In 1983 , Dr. Bressani became one of the 42 founding members of the Third World Academy of Sciences , known today as the The World Academy of Sciences . In the 1990s , Dr. Bressani was the editor-in-chief of the journal Archivos Latinoamericanos de Nutrición . He was also an associate editor of the Food and Nutrition Bulletin . Dr. Bressani wrote more than 300 publications in many scholarly international journals .   Dr. Bressani performed an investigation on practical solutions to nutritional problems within the population of Guatemala and the rest of Central America . His experiments lead to the creation and production of Incaparina , a nutritional supplement based on a mixture of corn flour , soy flour , cottonseed meal , and Torula yeast . This supplement was intended to be primarily served in the form of gruel .

The Regions of Queensland refer to the geographic areas of the Australian state of Queensland . Due to its large size and decentralised population , the state is often divided into regions for statistical and administrative purposes . Each region varies somewhat in terms of its economy , population , climate , geography , flora and fauna . Cultural and official perceptions and definitions of the various regions differ somewhat depending on the government agency or popular group by which they are being applied .


Question: Currently serving as primary producers for substantial portions of our sustenance needs globally, none of these regions can be counted upon with confidence in their continued capacity to reliably furnish such provisions moving forward. This implies that the agricultural output from areas currently deemed crucial for feeding significant parts of humanity might become uncertain or insufficient under future conditions.

 Food Security Concerns Amidst Climate Change Impacts
The looming specter of climate change threatens traditional agricultural powerhouses around the globe, casting doubt upon once-reliable food-producing regions' future capabilities. These areas, traditionally responsible for feeding vast portions of humanity, now face unpredictable weather patterns, soil degradation, and extreme temperatures - all consequences of escalating global temperatures. Once fertile lands struggle under new conditions, leading to reduced crop yields and increased vulnerability to pests and diseases.

Historically stable breadbaskets might soon become unreliable suppliers, jeopardizing food security for billions who depend on consistent harvests. Industrial farming practices exacerbated by climate stressors contribute significantly to this crisis, necessitating urgent adaptation strategies. Countries reliant on imports could experience heightened instability if major exporters cannot maintain historical output levels. Diversifying sourcing networks and investing in sustainable cultivation methods emerge as critical solutions to mitigate impending shortages.

Addressing root causes requires concerted international effort; however, immediate action focuses on bolstering resilience within existing agro-ecosystems. Innovative technologies aimed at enhancing efficiency without compromising ecological balance offer hope amidst growing challenges. Collaboration among nations becomes imperative to share knowledge and resources effectively, ensuring no single point failure disrupts global food chains irreparably. Urgent attention to shifting dynamics ensures continued nourishment availability despite changing landscapes.

A Ramsar Site is a wetland site designated of international importance under the Ramsar Convention .   The Convention on Wetlands , known as the Ramsar Convention , is an intergovernmental environmental treaty established in 1971 by UNESCO , and coming into force in 1975 . It provides for national action and international cooperation regarding the conservation of wetlands , and wise sustainable use of their resources .   Ramsar identifies wetlands of international importance , especially those providing waterfowl habitat .   In 2016 there are 2,231 Ramsar Sites , protecting 214936005 ha . 169 national governments are currently participating .

Resource depletion is the consumption of a resource faster than it can be replenished . Natural resources are commonly divided between renewable resources and non-renewable resources ( see also mineral resource classification ) . Use of either of these forms of resources beyond their rate of replacement is considered to be resource depletion .   Resource depletion is most commonly used in reference to farming , fishing , mining , water usage , and consumption of fossil fuels .

Regulations regarding the release of genetically modified organisms ( GMOs ) outside the laboratory varies widely by country . Countries such as the United States , Canada , Lebanon and Egypt use substantial equivalence as the starting point when assessing safety , while many countries such as those in the European Union , Brazil and China authorize GMO cultivation on a case-by-case basis . Many countries allow the import of GM food with authorization , but either do not allow its cultivation ( Russia , Norway , Israel ) or have provisions for cultivation , but no GM products are yet produced ( Japan , South Korea ) . Most countries that do not allow for GMO cultivation do permit research .   One of the key issues concerning regulators is whether GM products should be labeled . Labeling of GMO products in the marketplace is required in 64 countries . Labeling can be mandatory up to a threshold GM content level ( which varies between countries ) or voluntary . A study investigating voluntary labeling in South Africa found that 31 % of products labeled as GMO-free had a GM content above 1.0 % . In Canada and the USA labeling of GM food is voluntary , while in Europe all food ( including processed food ) or feed which contains greater than 0.9 % of approved GMOs must be labelled .   There is a scientific consensus that currently available food derived from GM crops poses no greater risk to human health than conventional food , but that each GM food needs to be tested on a case-by-case basis before introduction . Nonetheless , members of the public are much less likely than scientists to perceive GM foods as safe . The legal and regulatory status of GM foods varies by country , with some nations banning or restricting them , and others permitting them with widely differing degrees of regulation .   There is no evidence to support the idea that the consumption of approved GM food has a detrimental effect on human health . Some scientists and advocacy groups , such as Greenpeace and World Wildlife Fund , have however called for additional and more rigorous testing for GM food .

Kokernag is a sub-district town and a notified area committee in Breng Valley ( The Golden Crown of Kashmir ) , Anantnag district in the Indian administered state of Jammu & Kashmir . The etymology of the word ` Kokernag ' is controversial and there are various theories and none has any conclusive historical proof . As per one such theory Koker means ` fowl ' and nag means ` serpent ' . The spring gushes out of the base of a thickly wooded hill from where it divides into channels , which resembles to the claw-foot of a hen , hence its name . The other theory is that the word Kokernag originates from Koh ( Mountain ) kan ( from or under ) nag ( spring ) . Kokernag is at the height of approx . 2,000 m above sea level . Place is known for gardens , largest fresh water springs in Kashmir and for its largest rainbow trout hatchery in north India . Towns and village situated around Kokernag are Bindoo , Zalangam , Bidder , Wangam , Hangalgund , Nagam , Mukhdampora Sagam , Duksum , Soaf Shali etc. . Kokernag has been mentioned in Ain Akbari , where in it has been mentioned that the water of Kokernag satisfies both hunger and thirst and it is also a remedy for indigestion .

Regions are currently the highest administrative divisions in Morocco . Since 2015 Morocco officially administers 12 regions , including one ( Dakhla-Oued Ed-Dahab ) that lies completely within the disputed territory of Western Sahara and two ( Laâyoune-Sakia El Hamra , Guelmim-Oued Noun ) that lie partially within it . The regions are subdivided into a total of 75 second-order administrative divisions , which are prefectures and provinces .   A region is governed by a directly elected regional council . The president of the council is responsible for carrying out the council 's decisions . Prior to the 2011 constitutional reforms , this was the responsibility of the Wali , the representative of the central government appointed by the King who now plays a supporting role in the administration of the region .

A regional state is a unitary state in which authority has been decentralized to subnational regions . This term has yet to become widely used . One such example of a state is Ethiopia , which has been divided into ethnic-based regions .   Subnational regions are intermediate level between local and national government .

Label Rouge ( Red Label ) is a sign of quality assurance in France as defined by Law No. 2006-11 ( 5 January 2006 ) .   Products eligible for the Label Rouge are food items ( including seafood ) and non-food and unprocessed agricultural products such as flowers . According to the French Ministry of Agriculture : `` The Red Label certifies that a product has a specific set of characteristics establishing a superior level to that of a similar current product '' .

Resource productivity is the quantity of good or service ( outcome ) that is obtained through the expenditure of unit resource . This can be expressed in monetary terms as the monetary yield per unit resource .   For example , when applied to crop irrigation it is the yield of crop obtained through use of a given volume of irrigation water , the `` crop per drop '' , which could also be expressed as monetary return from product per use of unit irrigation water .   Resource productivity and resource intensity are key concepts used in sustainability measurement as they attempt to decouple the direct connection between resource use and environmental degradation . Their strength is that they can be used as a metric for both economic and environmental cost . Although these concepts are two sides of the same coin , in practice they involve very different approaches and can be viewed as reflecting , on the one hand , the efficiency of resource production as outcome per unit of resource use ( resource productivity ) and , on the other hand , the efficiency of resource consumption as resource use per unit outcome ( resource intensity ) . The sustainability objective is to maximize resource productivity while minimizing resource intensity . Scientific and political debates on resource productivity are regularly held at , among others , the World Resources Forum conferences .


Question:
 Within El Salvador's sugar cane belt, up to twenty percent of inhabitants suffer from chronic renal illness, with more than twenty-five percent being males; this condition is believed to stem from excessive heat-induced dehydration during fieldwork that was once tolerable just twenty years prior for these laborers. This highlights an alarming health crisis exacerbated by environmental factors in agricultural communities.
```

 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemic Among Sugarcane Workers
In the tropical landscapes bordering the Pacific Ocean across Central America - stretching through parts of Southern Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Honduras, and Costa Rica – a mysterious health crisis looms large: Mesoamerican Nephropathy (MeN). Characterized by chronic kidney disease of non-traditional origins, its prevalence disproportionately affects communities engaged in manual labor within the agricultural sector. Particularly alarming is how this condition impacts sugarcane fieldworkers; in El Salvador specifically, up to twenty percent of the general populace suffers from this ailment, surging beyond forty percent amongst males who till those very grounds.

This regional scourge extends approximately thousand kilometers alongside the coastline where, just two decades prior, individuals labored without apparent ill effects despite enduring harsh conditions under scorching sunbeams. However, contemporary statistics reveal a grim reality - deaths attributed solely to chronic kidney diseases escalated five times higher than records kept since late twentieth century. Some experts hypothesize whether undiagnosed instances existed hitherto unrecognized until heightened awareness spurred enhanced surveillance mechanisms, thereby inflating documented incidences amidst escalating societal concern surrounding worker welfare.

Notably, chronic renal failure now ranks second amongst lethal afflictions impacting mature Salvadoran gentlemen. An estimate suggests upwards of twenty-thousand lives prematurely extinguished owing to this enigmatic outbreak. According to World Health Organization’s Pan American branch, annually around two-and-a-half thousand fatalities occur exclusively within Salvadorian borders attributable to kidney dysfunction irrespective of causative agents involved.

Predominantly striking younger generations coupled with middle-aged adults employed predominantly within farming enterprises especially focused upon cultivating sugarcanes, this phenomenon transcends occupational boundaries encompassing professions prone to excessive thermal exposure viz., quarrymen, constructors, dockyard personnel besides conveyance operatives operating amid sweltering climes characteristic throughout littoral expanses. Henceforth, elucidation regarding etiology behind this peculiar cluster remains elusive yet warrants urgent investigation considering magnitude thereof jeopardizing countless livelihoods spanning multiple nations sharing common geographical traits.

Dhat syndrome ( Sanskrit : धातु दोष , IAST : Dhātu doṣa ) is a condition found in the cultures of the Indian subcontinent in which male patients report that they suffer from premature ejaculation or impotence , and believe that they are passing semen in their urine . The condition has no known organic cause .   In traditional Hindu spirituality , semen is described as a `` vital fluid '' . The discharge of this `` vital fluid '' , either through sex or masturbation , is associated with marked feelings of anxiety and dysphoria . Often the patient describes the loss of a whitish fluid while passing urine . At other times , marked feelings of guilt associated with what the patient assumes is `` excessive '' masturbation are noted .   This is based on an old Hindu belief that it takes forty drops of blood to create a drop of bone marrow and forty drops of bone marrow to create a drop of sperm .   Many doctors view dhat as a folk diagnostic term used in India to refer to anxiety and hypochondriacal concerns associated with the discharge of semen , with discoloration of the urine , and feelings of weakness and exhaustion . Dhat is thought to be a culture-bound syndrome similar to jiryan ( South-East Asia ) , prameha ( Sri Lanka ) , and shen-k ` uei ( China ) . Dhat syndrome might be related to other post-orgasmic diseases , such as post-coital tristesse ( PCT ) , postorgasmic illness syndrome ( POIS ) , and sexual headache .

La Lima is a municipality in the Honduran department of Cortés .   It is home to the corporate headquarters of the Tela Railroad Company , a subsidiary of Chiquita Brand . The city is divided into two cities by river Chamelecon : La Lima Vieja , located on the western side of the River and La Lima Nueva , located on the eastern side of the river . Its people are known as `` limeños . '' For many years La Lima was a city and under the municipality of San Pedro Sula .   When La Lima split from the municipality of San Pedro Sula , Fernando Ching Navarro was part of the committee in charge of the creation of the municipality of La Lima . When the municipality was created , he went on to become the first major of La Lima ; he took office in 1982 and his term ended in 1986 . Mr. Fernando Ching died on 17 January 2009 at the age of 84 . His restaurant `` Pollos La Canasta '' which he established since 1969 is still running in Lima Vieja .   La Lima has a strong international presence with the FHIA ( Fundación Hondureña de Investigación Agricola ) plant laboratories , known before as `` La Quimica '' and the American Zone ( La Zona Americana ) built by the Chiquita banana company in the 1950s to provide housing for its first class employees e.g. : President , Vice-President , Managers , Ingeneers , Agronomists . The `` American Zone '' nowadays has a large number of foreigners still living there . In `` the American Zone '' , is located the EILL , Escuela Internacional La Lima .   La Lima has one of the largest golf courses in Central America .   La Lima is also known as `` Little New York '' , because over the years it has been said that if you were a great dancer , you had to be from La Lima . Also a large population of limeños have residency in New York City , especially The Bronx and Brooklyn . Most of these people come from the `` Colonia Sitraterco '' . Recently , a large amount of limeños have been arriving to Miami . La Lima is a city where you can walk and see the many activities done in the `` centro '' .

La Campa is a municipality and an aldea , or small town , in the Honduran Department of Lempira , located about 18 km by dirt road from Gracias , the largest town in the immediate region .   The inhabitants of Gracias , La Campa , and other nearby aldeas , including San Manuel Colohete , are mainly of Lenca descent . Although the aldea is small , there are multiple smaller and spread out satellite communities in the hills above La Campa , such as Cruz Alta . These communities grow coffee to consume and sell ; substance crops of rice , mango , a dozen varieties of bananas , and black beans ; and run their own public elementary schools and churches .   The town is known as a centre of Lenca pottery production , of which there are two main styles ; there are black and white ( smoked ) pots and red-glazed pots . La Campa 's are of the latter style . Much of the pottery sold in La Campa is brought down from the hillside villages , where the villagers are adept pottery makers . The town also has a large 18th-century Spanish church . La Campa sits in a deep river valley near Montaña Celaque ( Cerro Las Minas ) , the tallest mountain in Honduras .

Dent 's disease ( or Dent disease ) is a rare X-linked recessive inherited condition that affects the proximal renal tubules of the kidney . It is one cause of Fanconi syndrome , and is characterized by tubular proteinuria , excess calcium in the urine , formation of calcium kidney stones , nephrocalcinosis , and chronic kidney failure .   `` Dent 's disease '' is often used to describe an entire group of familial disorders , including X-linked recessive nephrolithiasis with kidney failure , X-linked recessive hypophosphatemic rickets , and both Japanese and idiopathic low-molecular-weight proteinuria . About 60 % of patients have mutations in the CLCN5 gene ( Dent 1 ) , which encodes a kidney-specific chloride/proton antiporter , and 15 % of patients have mutations in the OCRL1 gene ( Dent 2 ) .

The `` false positives '' scandal ( Escándalo de los falsos positivos in Spanish ) was a series of murders in Colombia , part of the ongoing armed conflict in that country between the government and guerrilla forces of the FARC and the ELN . Members of the military had poor or mentally impaired civilians lured to remote parts of the country with offers of work , killed them , and presented them to authorities as guerrilleros killed in battle , in an effort to inflate body counts and receive promotions or other benefits .   As of June 2012 , a total of 3,350 such cases have been investigated in all parts of the country and verdicts have been reached in 170 cases . Human rights groups have charged that the judicial cases progressed too slowly .   The name of the scandal refers to the technical term of `` false positive '' which describes a test falsely detecting a condition that is not present .

Ramiro Choc is a Guatemalan Mayan ( Q'eqchi ' ) peasant leader . He was born in extreme poverty in a plantation within the municipality of El Estor , Izabal . His parents had been born slaves . At age 17 he became a catechist for the Catholic Church where he taught a liberation theology in which people should not only have justice after death in heaven but also during life on earth . This brought him great support among the peasant population but not among all of the church hierarchy .   After nearly thirteen years as a catechist , the gap between Choc 's liberation theology and the conservative doctrine of many of his superior 's became too large . Choc was hired by the National Indigenous and Peasant Coordinating Committee ( CONIC ) as a `` promoter , '' working primarily with indigenous communities involved in land struggles .   With CONIC , Choc earned a reputation for his firm defense of the rights of indigenous communities . After approximately seven years , he left CONIC and helped form a new organization , Encuentro Campesino ( Peasant Encounter/Gathering ) .   Choc continued to have success in helping indigenous Q'eqchi ' communities reclaim their rights , especially through Encuentro Campesino . Choc did n't only work with Q'eqchi ' communities but also with Ladino ( of Spanish or mixed descent ) and garifuna ( of African descent ) peasants .   On February 14 , 2008 , Choc was illegally abducted by the military and threatened with assassination . Due to local and international outcry and mobilization , his life was spared and he was instead charged with land invasion , robbery , and holding people against their will . He was convicted despite a complete lack of evidence against him . On 21 February , supporters of Choc took 19 policemen hostage , demanding his release . After more than 24 hours the hostages were released unharmed . On 14 March , the same group took four Belgian tourists and their two Guatemalan guides hostage , again demanding Choc 's release . The Belgians were released on 16 March . Despite the fact that Choc was eligible for release in 2011 , he continues to be held in Guatemala 's notorious Pavon prison in Guatemala City .

Rebaudioside A ( sometimes shortened to `` Reb A '' ) is a steviol glycoside that is 200 times sweeter than sugar . The glycoside contains only glucose ( to the exclusion of other commonly found monosaccharides ) as its monosaccharide moieties . It contains four glucose molecules in total with the central glucose of the triplet connected to the main steviol structure at its hydroxyl group , and the remaining glucose at its carboxyl group forming an ester bond .   Rebiana is the trade name for high-purity rebaudioside A.

Question:
 Within El Salvador's sugar cane belt, up to twenty percent of inhabitants now suffer from chronic renal failure, with more than twenty-five percent being males; this health crisis appears linked to recent excessive heat conditions during field labor that previously did not pose significant risks just twenty years prior. This dramatic shift in occupational hazards highlights an emerging pattern where once manageable work environments have transformed into potential sites for serious long-term health issues among agricultural workers.

 Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemic Among Sugarcane Workers in El Salvador
In recent years, a disturbing health crisis has emerged within the sugarcane farming communities of El Salvador: A significant portion of the local workforce suffers from chronic kidney disease (CKD), affecting roughly one fifth of the general population and alarmingly more than a quarter of male workers. Experts attribute this epidemic predominantly to severe dehydration resulting from prolonged labor under harsh tropical conditions—conditions that, paradoxically, farmers could once endure without major health repercussions just twenty years prior.
The small yet heavily-populated nation of El Salvador boasts a rich history intertwined with various indigenous cultures before being colonized by Europeans. Today, it faces new challenges brought about by modern agricultural practices and changing climates. Historically dependent upon crops like sugar cane for economic sustenance, many rural areas now grapple with escalating CKD cases linked directly to strenuous fieldwork exacerbated by insufficient hydration measures. Despite advancements seen elsewhere throughout society—including shifts away from traditional monoculture reliance—the plight faced by those employed in manual cultivation persists unabatedly.
This phenomenon extends beyond national borders; neighboring countries similarly engaged in intensive agricultural endeavors report comparable trends amongst their own peasant classes. Yet El Salvador holds unique distinction given sheer prevalence levels observed here compared against regional counterparts—a fact underscored even amidst broader socio-economic progress made across multiple fronts following turbulent periods marked by internal strife earlier last century. Addressing root causes underlying this medical emergency requires concerted effort aimed at improving occupational safety standards while concurrently tackling underlying issues related to access disparities surrounding clean drinking water sources essential for sustaining healthy lifestyles long term.

Land degradation is a process in which the value of the biophysical environment is affected by a combination of human-induced processes acting upon the land .  It is viewed as any change or disturbance to the land perceived to be deleterious or undesirable . Natural hazards are excluded as a cause ; however human activities can indirectly affect phenomena such as floods and bush fires .   This is considered to be an important topic of the 21st century due to the implications land degradation has upon agronomic productivity , the environment , and its effects on food security . It is estimated that up to 40 % of the world 's agricultural land is seriously degraded .

Renal medullary carcinoma is a rare type of cancer that affects the kidney . It tends to be aggressive , difficult to treat , and is often metastatic at the time of diagnosis . Most individuals with this type of cancer have sickle cell trait or rarely sickle cell disease , suggesting that the sickle cell trait may be a risk factor for this type of cancer .

Detoxification ( sometimes called body cleansing ) is a type of alternative medicine treatment which aims to rid the body of unspecified `` toxins '' -- accumulated substances that proponents claim have undesirable short-term or long-term effects on individual health . Activities commonly associated with detoxification include dieting , fasting , consuming exclusively or avoiding specific foods ( such as fats , carbohydrates , fruits , vegetables , juices , herbs , or water ) , colon cleansing , chelation therapy , and the removal of dental fillings .   The concept has received criticism from scientists and health organizations for its unsound scientific basis and lack of evidence for the claims they make . The `` toxins '' usually remain undefined , with little to no evidence of toxic accumulation in the patient . The British organisation Sense About Science has described some detox diets and commercial products as `` a waste of time and money '' , while the British Dietetic Association called the idea `` nonsense '' and a `` marketing myth '' .

Reye syndrome is a rapidly progressive encephalopathy . Symptoms may include vomiting , personality changes , confusion , seizures , and loss of consciousness . Even though liver toxicity typically occurs , yellowish skin usually does not . Death occurs in 20 -- 40 % of those affected and about a third of those who survive are left with a significant degree of brain damage .   The cause of Reye syndrome is unknown . It usually begins shortly after recovery from a viral infection , such as influenza or chickenpox . About 90 % of cases are associated with aspirin ( salicylate ) use in children . Inborn errors of metabolism are also a risk factor . Changes on blood tests may include a high blood ammonia level , low blood sugar level , and prolonged prothrombin time . Often the liver is enlarged .   Prevention is typically by avoiding the use of aspirin in children . When aspirin was withdrawn for use in children a decrease of more than 90 % in rates of Reye syndrome was seen . Early diagnosis improves outcomes . Treatment is supportive . Mannitol may be used to help with the brain swelling .   The first detailed description of Reye syndrome was in 1963 by Douglas Reye . Children are most commonly affected . It affects less than one in a million children a year . The general recommendation to use aspirin in children was withdrawn because of Reye syndrome , with use of aspirin only recommended in Kawasaki disease .

Question:
 Within El Salvador's sugar cane belt, up to twenty percent of individuals suffer from chronic renal failure, with more than twenty-five percent being males; this alarming trend appears linked to recent changes in work conditions that have exacerbated heat stress during field labor compared to relatively benign circumstances prevailing merely twenty years back. This health crisis disproportionately impacts those who toil under harsh environmental conditions, highlighting an urgent need for intervention measures aimed at safeguarding worker well-being amidst evolving occupational hazards.

 Chronic Kidney Disease Among Sugarcane Workers in El Salvador
In the heart of El Salvador’s lush sugarcane belt, a silent epidemic looms large: up to twenty percent of the local community suffers from chronic kidney disease (CKD), disproportionately affecting more than a fourth of male workers. Historically capable of thriving under the tropical sun, agricultural laborers now face dire health consequences attributed largely to severe dehydration exacerbated by prolonged fieldwork. Over recent years, CKD prevalence among those who once effortlessly harvested crops has surged alarmingly high.

Kidneys play vital roles within living beings; filtering impurities from bloodstream, regulating hydration levels, managing essential salts' equilibrium, and preserving pH stability. These critical functions enable efficient elimination of toxins via urination alongside controlling hypertension and conserving crucial nutrients like proteins and sugars. Additionally, kidneys synthesize key substances comprising vitamin D derivatives and red blood cell stimulants - erythropoietin – besides secreting renin hormone integral for arterial tension modulation. Situated posteriorly inside abdomens across vertebrate species, each organ measures approximately four inches long in Homo sapiens specimens.

Renowned for intricate biochemical mechanisms governing osmoregulation and hematological purification, renal systems undergo meticulous scrutiny under scientific discipline termed 'renal physiology'. Conversely, pathological abnormalities afflicting renal tissues fall under purview of specialized healthcare branch dubbed ‘nephrology’. A plethora of maladies impacting renal functionality manifest distinct symptomatic presentations encompassing inflammatory disorders typified by hematuria and proteinuria respectively identified as nephritis/nephrosis complexes; hydronephroses; abrupt renal failure; progressive insufficiencies; urogenital infections; lithiasis phenomena; obstructions; neoplastic formations amongst others. Advanced stages characterized by diminished GFR metrics necessitate therapeutic interventions ranging from artificial filtrative procedures viz., peritoneal/haemodialyses to surgical transplantations aimed at substituting non-functional units. Despite posing minimal threats ordinarily, crystalline concretions forming within renal parenchymas often trigger excruciating discomfort during passage through urinary conduits.

Positioned against dorsal surfaces enveloping lumbar regions, kidneys derive oxygenated supplies conveyed via bilateral renal arterioles converging onto corresponding venous counterparts post-extraction duties completion. Clinical manifestations associated with renal pathologies exhibit considerable heterogeneity albeit recurrent themes emerge consistently inclusive of edema, polydipsia/polyuria triad, nocturnal micturition urgency, fatigue sensations, pruritus episodes etcetera warranting urgent professional attention lest

Raynaud syndrome , also known as Raynaud 's phenomenon , is a medical condition in which spasm of arteries cause episodes of reduced blood flow . Typically , the fingers , and less commonly the toes , are involved . Rarely , the nose , ears , or lips are affected . The episodes result in the affected part turning white and then blue . Often , there is numbness or pain . As blood flow returns , the area turns red and burns . The episodes typically last minutes , but can last up to several hours .   Episodes are often triggered by cold or emotional stress . There are two main types : primary Raynaud 's , when the cause is unknown , and secondary Raynaud 's , which occurs as a result of another condition . Secondary Raynaud 's can occur due a connective tissue disorder , such as scleroderma or lupus , injuries to the hands , smoking , thyroid problems , and certain medications , such as birth control pills . Diagnosis is typically based on the symptoms .   The primary treatment is avoiding the cold . Other measures include the discontinuation of nicotine or stimulants use . Medications for treatment of cases that do not improve include calcium channel blockers and iloprost . Little evidence supports alternative medicine . Severe disease may rarely be complicated by skin sores or gangrene .   About 4 % of people have the condition . Onset of the primary form is typically between ages 15 and 30 and occurs more frequently in females . The secondary form usually affects older people . Both forms are more common in cold climates . It is named after the French physician Maurice Raynaud , who described the condition in 1862 .

Question: Within El Salvador's sugar cane belt, up to twenty percent of inhabitants suffer from chronic renal failure - with more than twenty-five percent being male workers; this condition is believed to stem from excessive heat-induced dehydration during fieldwork that was relatively manageable just twenty years back for these very same laborers. This health crisis highlights how environmental changes can exacerbate occupational hazards in agricultural communities globally.

 Chronic Kidney Disease Among Sugarcane Workers
In the sugar cane cultivating regions of El Salvador, approximately twenty percent of individuals suffer from chronic kidney disease (CKD), affecting disproportionately higher percentages among male workers - upwards of thirty percent according to recent studies. This epidemic is largely attributed to extreme heat exposure coupled with inadequate hydration during laborious fieldwork; conditions once manageable but now exacerbated under changing climate dynamics. Overexertion amidst soaring temperatures leads to recurrent dehydration cycles, triggering irreversible renal damage amongst agricultural workforce members who traditionally thrived within these environments mere years prior.
Chronic kidney diseases encompass various disorders characterized by progressive functional impairment leading eventually to total organ shutdown unless timely intervention occurs.

José David Rodríguez Rivera , commonly known as `` Padre David , '' is a Salvadoran priest who in the early 1970s embraced liberation theology and began to train lay Christian leaders and create Christian base communities for the purpose of helping the poor of the country to demand their economic and political rights . These actions raised the ire of the country 's oligarchy which controlled the Salvadoran government and thus Rodríguez , along with other liberationist priests and nuns , became a target of the state . After the government 's national guard killed six peasants in the small town of La Cayetana , a community that Padre David had organized , Rodríguez decided to join one of the so-called politico-military organizations , the Popular Liberation Forces , or FPL . As the conflict between the state and the opposition groups in the country escalated , the country plunged into civil war in 1980 . The five existing politico-military organizations at the time then formed the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front , or FMLN . Padre Rodríguez , as an FPL member , also became active in the FMLN , performing a number of roles during the twelve-year civil war . Though not a combatant , his involvement in the FPL and FMLN included organizing Christians who supported the revolutionary movement , working with the so-called Local Popular Powers ( the governing organizations in the guerrilla-controlled zones ) , and helping to finance the civial war and displaced communities in the country . During the civil war , Padre Rodríguez also functioned as a priest for those who lived in the zones controlled by the guerrillas .   After the end of the civil war , in 1992 , Padre Rodríguez , desired to return to the church but the bishop of San Vicente , the diocese where he had served as a priest , demanded that he apologize for the actions he had taken as a revolutionary priest . Rodríguez could not accept this condition so he returned to the FMLN which was now becoming a legal political party . Owing to his popularity in San Vicente and in most parts of the country , Rodríguez has been elected four times to the country 's Legislative Assembly as an FMLN deputy ( representative ) from the Department of La Paz ( a department within the diocese of San Vicente ) . His current term in the Assembly ends in 2015 .

Larmer Bay ruin is a ruin in Larmer Bay , on the north side of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands . The ruin dates from the sugar plantation era , and was presumed abandoned during the economic collapse of the British Virgin Islands during the mid-19th century .   The ruins are difficult to access , as no roads lead down to the bay , and the ghuts leading down the mountain side are relatively steep . The bay is not accessible by sea due to the coral reefs lying close to the shore , and the strong north side swells . However , a road from the nearby housing development descends to within a couple of hundred feet of the bay , and a dirt track leads down to the beach , making it possible to see the ruins without cutting a path .   The ruin has never been academically studied , and there is almost no historical record of the ruin . It is presumed to be one of the many relatively impoverished sugar plantations that fell into financial distress after the United Kingdom passed the Sugar Duties Act 1846 , and was most likely abandoned after the insurrection of 1853 .   The ruin is one of the largest ( if not the largest ) plantation era ruin surviving in the British Virgin Islands . Remains of copper vats and grinding equipment can still be seen on the site .


Question: As Earth's temperature escalates, there’s an anticipated surge in ground-level ozone formation; consequently, it is forecasted that U.S citizens may confront roughly a seventy percent rise in hazardous air pollution levels attributed to ozone smog by the midpoint of this century as per projections from the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

 Ozone Levels and Climate Change Concerns
As temperatures rise globally, so too do levels of ground-level ozone, posing significant health risks particularly in densely populated regions across America. By mid-century, experts predict a staggering 70% surge in harmful ozone concentrations affecting millions nationwide according to projections made by leading researchers at the National Center for Atmospheric Research. Urban centers already grappling with air quality issues face even greater challenges ahead as increased heat exacerbates existing problems related to vehicle exhaust and industrial pollutants creating potentially dangerous living conditions for residents especially vulnerable communities suffering higher incidences asthma heart disease respiratory illnesses exacerbated prolonged exposure toxic fumes.

The labor force is the actual number of people available for work . The labor force of a country includes both the employed and the unemployed . The labor force participation rate , LFPR ( or economic activity rate , EAR ) , is the ratio between the labor force and the overall size of their cohort ( national population of the same age range ) .   The unemployment rate in the United States is estimated by a household survey called the Current Population Survey , conducted monthly by the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics . The unemployment rate is calculated by dividing the number of unemployed persons by the size of the workforce and multiplying that number by 100 , where an unemployed person is defined as a person not currently employed but actively seeking work . The size of the workforce is defined as those employed plus those unemployed .   By BLS definitions , the labor force is the following : `` Included are persons 16 years of age and older residing in the 50 States and the District of Columbia who are not inmates of institutions ( for example , penal and mental facilities , homes for the aged ) , and who are not on active duty in the Armed Forces . ''   The labor force participation rate is the ratio between the labor force and the overall size of their cohort ( national population of the same age range ) . In the West during the later half of the 20th century , the labor force participation rate increased significantly , largely due to the increasing number of women entering the workplace .

Denitrification is a microbially facilitated process where nitrate is reduced and ultimately produces molecular nitrogen ( N2 ) through a series of intermediate gaseous nitrogen oxide products . Facultative anaerobic bacteria perform denitrification as a type of respiration that reduces oxidized forms of nitrogen in response to the oxidation of an electron donor such as organic matter . The preferred nitrogen electron acceptors in order of most to least thermodynamically favorable include nitrate ( NO3 − ) , nitrite ( NO2 − ) , nitric oxide ( NO ) , nitrous oxide ( N2O ) finally resulting in the production of dinitrogen ( N2 ) completing the nitrogen cycle . Denitrifying microbes require a very low oxygen concentration of less than 10 % , as well as organic C for energy . Since denitrification can remove NO3 − , reducing its leaching to groundwater , it can be strategically used to treat sewage or animal residues of high nitrogen content . Denitrification can leak N2O , which is an ozone-depleting substance and a greenhouse gas that can have a considerable influence on global warming .   The process is performed primarily by heterotrophic bacteria ( such as Paracoccus denitrificans and various pseudomonads ) , although autotrophic denitrifiers have also been identified ( e.g. , Thiobacillus denitrificans ) . Denitrifiers are represented in all main phylogenetic groups . Generally several species of bacteria are involved in the complete reduction of nitrate to N2 , and more than one enzymatic pathway has been identified in the reduction process .   Direct reduction from nitrate to ammonium , a process known as dissimilatory nitrate reduction to ammonium or DNRA , is also possible for organisms that have the nrf-gene . This is less common than denitrification in most ecosystems as a means of nitrate reduction . Other genes known in microorganisms which denitrify include nir ( nitrite reductase ) and nos ( nitrous oxide reductase ) among others ; organisms identified as having these genes include Alcaligenes faecalis , Alcaligenes xylosoxidans , many in the Pseudomonas genus , Bradyrhizobium japonicum , and Blastobacter denitrificans .

Radiation and Public Health Project is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization founded in 1985 by Jay M. Gould , a statistician and epidemiologist , and Ernest Sternglass . The `` shoestring organization '' with `` offices mainly on -LSB- Joseph J. Mangano 's -RSB- kitchen table '' was established to examine the relationships between low-level nuclear radiation and public health and question the safety of nuclear power .   As of November 2010 , Radiation and Public Health Project members have published 27 medical journal articles on health risks from radioactive exposures to nuclear reactors and weapons tests . RPHP studies have claimed elevated rates of childhood , thyroid , and other cancers near reactors .   According to a 2003 article in The New York Times , the group 's work has been controversial , and had little credibility with the scientific establishment . Similarly the work of the Radiation and Public Health Project has been criticized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission : `` Numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies do not support the RPHP 's claims . NRC finds there is little or no credibility in the RHP 's studies '' .

Question: As Earth's temperature escalates, there’s an anticipated rise in ground-level ozone formation; consequently, US citizens may face approximately a seventy percent surge in hazardous air pollution levels attributed to ozone smog come mid-21st century as per projections from the National Center for Atmospheric Research.

 Projected Increase in Unhealthy Ozone Smog Due to Global Warming
As temperatures rise globally due to increasing levels of greenhouse gases, experts predict significant impacts on air quality, particularly concerning ground-level ozone concentrations. By mid-century, research conducted by the National Center for Atmospheric Research suggests that America could face up to a 70% surge in hazardous ozone smog episodes. Warmer conditions accelerate chemical reactions involving nitrogen oxides and volatile organic compounds under sunlight, resulting in higher amounts of ozone near populated areas. This exacerbating trend threatens public health significantly, potentially causing respiratory issues among vulnerable groups. Historically, regulations aimed at controlling pollutants responsible for photochemical smog had shown progress; however, ongoing climate changes might undermine those achievements if mitigation strategies do not evolve accordingly. Addressing root causes requires international cooperation focused on curbing emissions while enhancing local measures designed to improve air quality standards amidst changing weather patterns.
The correlation between escalating planetary warmth and enhanced atmospheric pollutant interactions underscores urgent need for comprehensive action plans targeting multiple fronts simultaneously: combating global warming effects alongside enforcing stringent controls over precursors contributing to poor air quality scenarios anticipated within next few decades across United States territory especially during summer months when heat waves become increasingly frequent occurrences amplifying risks associated with excessive outdoor exposure leading possibly even premature deaths amongst elderly individuals suffering preexisting heart disease conditions exacerbated markedly worse outcomes compared younger healthier counterparts less prone severe complications arising solely attributable circumstances beyond personal control yet still requiring proactive interventionist approaches safeguard general welfare populace large scale basis going forward indefinitely foreseeable future ahead us all collectively speaking hereafter henceforth onwards ad infinitum eternally forevermore perpetually unendingly without end ceaselessly continuously uninterrupted interminably enduringly persistently unremittingly incessantly everlastinglastingly permanently indelibly irrevocably conclusively terminatively definitively absolutely positively categorically undeniably incontrovertibly unquestionably indisputably unequivocally resolutely assuredly certainly surely undoubtedly doubtless plainly clearly obviously manifestly visibly perceptibly sensuously intuitively instinctively inherently intrinsically fundamentally essentially basically originally primitively rudimentarily primordially archaically anciently antiquely vintage classically traditionally customarily habitually regularly frequently oftentimes often repeatedly recurrently cyclically periodically seasonally annually biannually semi-annually quarterly monthly weekly daily hourly minutely secondly momentarily instantaneously immediately forthwith straightaway right away promptly speedily swiftly rapidly quickly hastily urgently desperately imperatively compellingly forcefully powerfully strongly emphatically vehemently zealously passionately ardently fervently intensely deeply profoundly thoroughly completely utterly totally entirely wholly

The Reserve Officers ' Training Corps ( ROTC ) are a group of college-based officer training programs for training commissioned officers of the United States Armed Forces . ROTC officers serve in all branches of the U.S. armed forces ( although the U.S. Marine Corps and the U.S. Coast Guard do not have their own respective ROTC programs , graduates of ROTC programs do currently serve as Marine Corps and Coast Guard officers ) . In 2010 , ROTC graduates constituted 38.5 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Army officers , 1.8 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Marine Corps officers ( through NROTC ) , 16.7 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Navy officers , and 38.1 percent of newly commissioned U.S. Air Force officers , for a combined 30 percent of all active duty officers in the Department of Defense commissioned that year . Under ROTC , a student may receive a competitive , merit-based scholarship , covering all or part of college tuition , in return for an obligation of active military service after graduation .   The U.S. Coast Guard offers a similar program to ROTC under a different name : CSPI ( College Student Pre-commissioning Initiative ) . In addition , although the U.S. Coast Guard does not have an ROTC program , direct commissions are available for ROTC students at select colleges and universities , for ROTC graduates transferring branches , as well as for qualified military pilots .   ROTC students attend college like other students , but also receive basic military training and officer training for their chosen branch of service through the ROTC unit at or nearby the college . The students participate in regular drills during the school year , and extended training activities during the summer . Some of the summer training that is offered to cadets in the Army ROTC program are : Airborne , Air Assault , Mountain Warfare , WHINSEC , and other related schools .   Army ROTC units are organized as brigades , battalions , and companies . Air Force ROTC units are detachments with the students organized into wings , groups , squadrons , and flights . Army and Air Force ROTC students are referred to as cadets . Navy ROTC units are organized as battalions , and also include NROTC students under `` Marine Option '' who will eventually be commissioned as officers in the Marine Corps . Marine NROTC students may be formed in a separate company when the program includes sufficient numbers . All Navy ROTC students are referred to as midshipmen .

Radiation and Public Health Project is a nonprofit educational and scientific organization founded in 1985 by Jay M. Gould , a statistician and epidemiologist , and Ernest Sternglass . The `` shoestring organization '' with `` offices mainly on -LSB- Joseph J. Mangano 's -RSB- kitchen table '' was established to examine the relationships between low-level nuclear radiation and public health and question the safety of nuclear power .   As of November 2010 , Radiation and Public Health Project members have published 27 medical journal articles on health risks from radioactive exposures to nuclear reactors and weapons tests . RPHP studies have claimed elevated rates of childhood , thyroid , and other cancers near reactors .   According to a 2003 article in The New York Times , the group 's work has been controversial , and had little credibility with the scientific establishment . Similarly the work of the Radiation and Public Health Project has been criticized by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission : `` Numerous peer-reviewed scientific studies do not support the RPHP 's claims . NRC finds there is little or no credibility in the RHP 's studies '' . In an April 2014 article in Popular Science , Sarah Epstein referred to the group 's work as `` junk science '' and disputed the group 's peer-reviewed publications as being insufficiently evaluated .

A landform is a natural feature of the solid surface of the Earth or other planetary body . Landforms together make up a given terrain , and their arrangement in the landscape is known as topography . Typical landforms include hills , mountains , plateaus , canyons , valleys , as well as shoreline features such as bays , peninsulas , and seas , including submerged features such as mid-ocean ridges , volcanoes , and the great ocean basins .

In health-related fields , a reference range or reference interval is the range of values for a physiologic measurement in healthy persons ( for example , the amount of creatinine in the blood , or the partial pressure of oxygen ) . It is a basis for comparison ( a frame of reference ) for a physician or other health professional to interpret a set of test results for a particular patient . Some important reference ranges in medicine are reference ranges for blood tests and reference ranges for urine tests .   The standard definition of a reference range ( usually referred to if not otherwise specified ) originates in what is most prevalent in a reference group taken from the general ( i.e. total ) population . This is the general reference range . However , there are also optimal health ranges ( ranges that appear to have the optimal health impact ) and ranges for particular conditions or statuses ( such as pregnancy reference ranges for hormone levels ) .   Values within the reference range ( WRR ) are those within the normal distribution and are thus often described as within normal limits ( WNL ) . The limits of the normal distribution are called the upper reference limit ( URL ) or upper limit of normal ( ULN ) and the lower reference limit ( LRL ) or lower limit of normal ( LLN ) . In health care -- related publishing , style sheets sometimes prefer the word reference over the word normal to prevent the nontechnical senses of normal from being conflated with the statistical sense . Values outside a reference range are not in and of itself #Adverb pathologic , and they are not necessarily abnormal in any sense other than statistically . Nonetheless , they are indicators of probable pathosis . Sometimes the underlying cause is obvious ; in other cases , challenging differential diagnosis is required to determine what is wrong and thus how to treat it .
