Ski-orienteering is popular in winter.

Explanation:

Ski-orienteering is a very popular winter sporting activity.

The ski orienteering competitors should orient using standard maps and navigate skillfully and tactfully in the snow. The skier should use skiing equipment like pole and snow trail.

This requires good physical strength (especially of the upper parts of the body) and endurance by the skiers.

This sporting event mostly takes place over different snow terrains in the regions of Europe, North America, and Asia.

This orienteering is recognized by the International Olympic Federation. There are various world level and national junior and senior championships which equipment annually like the SkiO is a Cross-Country Skiing Winter Racing Competition and the World Ski Orienteering Championships.

Match each disease with a public health strategy for preventing it.
Gwar [14]

Here are the correct pairs:

Influenza - Vaccination

The vaccination would make your body become unsuitable environmnet for the virus to live off, so you would not be infected. The vaccination would be re-developed every two years since virus can adapt to the old one.

HIV - education

We still have not found the vaccines to prevent HIV from infecting our body. The best method of prevention would be education. We need to teach the children that HIV can be spread through unsafe sex, needle sharing, or blood transfusion.

Kidney failure - organ donation

Every individuals have 2 kidneys and we can still live if we give one of them. Usually immediate families such as parents or siblings had a suitable match for the kidney donation.

IceJOKER [234]
After some research I found the important parts mostly bolded

Advantages:

1) Although the technology at first seems like something done for convenience rather than being something of significant utility, the fact is that poorly developed nations like India which have a relatively poor vaccination program are most likely to benefit from such a vaccine.
This is also the reason why many of the projects mentioned here (including Arntzen's early work) have been funded by the WHO.


 

2) Mucosal immunity : The vaccines which are given parenterally (e.g. Intramuscularly) induce a systemic response but little or no local immune response in the GI tract. This so called "mucosal immunity " is increasingly being considered very important for defense against GI pathogens. ( Remember OPV..)

3) And of course, it's painless and convenient

 


Disadvantages:

1) The vaccine dose would be inadequate if the patient eats only one banana/potato instead of the recommended two. Furthermore, there might be difficulties in judging the dose itself since the amount of antigen in each fruit cannot be accurately measured.

2) The risk of introducing a new gene into the Plant DNA population is not known. The gene may jump species and propagate into other plants (or wild varieties of the same plants). 
This may cause unpredictable results including a decrease in the number or even extinction of a particular plant species due to growth stunting caused by the viral/bacterial gene. (This has been known to occur in research studies, including Arntzen's)

3)"Oral Tolerance":  In another concern, scientists need to be sure that vaccines meant to enhance immune responses do not backfire and suppress immunity instead. Research into a phenomenon called oral tolerance has shown that ingesting certain proteins can at times cause the body to shut down its responses to those proteins.
This may cause the body to become more susceptible to a particular disease agent rather than become immunized against it.
