Here’s a few:


Avoid Sun Tanning and Tanning Beds. UV light from tanning beds and the sun causes skin cancer and wrinkling. If you want to look like you’ve been in the sun, consider using a sunless self-tanning product, but continue to use sunscreen with it.
Generously Apply Sunscreen to all exposed skin using a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 15 that provides broad- spectrum protection from both ultraviolet A (UVA) and ultraviolet B (UVB) rays. Reapply every two hours, even on cloudy days, and after swimming or sweating.
Wear Protective Clothing, such as a long-sleeved shirt, pants, a wide-brimmed hat, and sunglasses, where possible.
Seek Shade when appropriate, remembering that the sun’s UV rays are strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Use Extra Caution Near Water, Snow and Sand as they reflect the damaging rays of the sun, which can increase your chance of sunburn.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency diseases have a lower prevalence now than in the past. However, they are seen as beriberi in so
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer and Explanation:

      Vitamin B (thiamine) is usually found in cereals, grains, vegetables and meat among other foods. Ingestion of this nutrient through balanced diet is one of the most important measures for the control of Beriberi. Not only the consumption of thiamine sources, but also the decrease in beverages that may disturb the absorption of thiamine, such as coffee and alcoholic beverages.

     Beriberi is a serious disease directly linked to the lack of thiamine, also known as Vitamin B1. This disease can lead to death, but with proper treatment, it is possible to achieve cure. When vitamin B1 is not consumed regularly in food, mild symptoms of beriberi may arise such as insomnia, nervousness, irritation, fatigue, loss of appetite and energy. These problems may manifest themselves after two to three months of exclusively consuming thiamine-poor foods. Symptoms can still develop into more severe symptoms such as numbness, tingling and swelling of the legs and arms, difficulty breathing, heart problems, heart failure and even death.

   Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome), also known as alcoholic encephalopathy, cerebral beriberi, among others, is a neuropathy related to vitamin B1 deficiency, and indirectly (but more commonly) acute alcoholism, because alcohol interfere in body's ability to absorb thiamine.

  Vitamin B1 is related to the process of transformation of pyruvic acid, which is responsible for performing biochemical transformations of proteins, fats and mainly carbohydrates. When this element is lacking in the body, neurons are the most affected cells, causing these sympthons above.

Project: Ethics and morals
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

ETHICS :

Ethics or moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that "involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior".The field of ethics, along with aesthetics, concerns matters of value, and thus comprises the branch of philosophy called axiology.

Ethics seeks to resolve questions of human morality by defining concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime. As a field of intellectual inquiry, moral philosophy also is related to the fields of moral psychology, descriptive ethics, and value theory.

Three major areas of study within ethics recognized today are:

1. Meta-ethics, concerning the theoretical meaning and reference of moral propositions, and how their truth values (if any) can be determined

2. Normative ethics, concerning the practical means of determining a moral course of action

3. Applied ethics, concerning what a person is obligated (or permitted) to do in a specific situation or a particular domain of action.

MORALS :

A moral (from Latin morālis) is a message that is conveyed or a lesson to be learned from a story or event. The moral may be left to the hearer, reader, or viewer to determine for themselves, or may be explicitly encapsulated in a maxim. A moral is a lesson in a story or in real life.
