Climate change is expected to have complex effects on infectious diseases, causing some to increase, others to decrease, and many to shift their distributions. There have been several important advances in understanding the ...role of climate and climate change on wildlife and human infectious disease dynamics over the past several years. This essay examines 3 major areas of advancement, which include improvements to mechanistic disease models, investigations into the importance of climate variability to disease dynamics, and understanding the consequences of thermal mismatches between host and parasites. Applying the new information derived from these advances to climate–disease models and addressing the pressing knowledge gaps that we identify should improve the capacity to predict how climate change will affect disease risk for both wildlife and humans.

Liebe Global Health-Interessierte,
ihr studiert an einer Universität, an der es noch kein Lehrangebot zu Global Health
gibt? Ihr spielt mit dem Gedanken, das zu ändern, wisst aber nicht genau, wie? Ihr
wollt selbst ein Wahlfach gestalten und durchführen?
An den Universitäten Leipzig und Hann...over haben Studierende 2018 und 2019
bereits erfolgreich Wahlfächer zu Global Health ins Leben gerufen. Basierend auf
ihren Erfahrungen soll euch das folgende Kompendium eine Hilfestellung für die
Etablierung eines eigenen Wahlfaches an eurer Universität bieten. In 11 steps zum
Wahlfachkönnt ihr nachvollziehen, welche bürokratischen Schritte gegangen und
welche inhaltlichen sowie organisatorischen Fragen geklärt werden müssen.
Außerdem findet ihr einen Leitfaden zur Vorbereitung einer Unterrichtsstunde,
sowie einen Stundenverlaufsplan für die Eigenverwendung und am Ende eine
Auflistung möglicher Qüllen und Ansprechpartner.
Wir hoffen, dass Global Health bald an vielen weiteren Unis in der Lehre präsent
sein wird und freuen uns, durch diesen Beitrag hierfür Unterstützung bieten zu
können. Für Fragen und Anmerkungen stehen wir euch jederzeit gerne zur
Verfügung!

Therefore, this lecture note is prepared to overcome the acute shortage of reference materials reflecting the national context and be used as a teaching material for nurses at various levels. The lecture note is divided in to five units. Unit one of this lecture note deals with the history of nursing, unit two about philosophy of nursing, unit three health and illness, unit four Ethico-legal aspects to nursing, and unit five communication and interpersonal relationships in nursing,

La Convención sobre los Derechos del Niño de las Naciones Unidas es el tratado más ampliamente ratificado de la historia. Los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS) han sido acordados por todos los gobiernos. La Convención y los ODS van de la mano.
No podremos alcanzar los ODS sin hacer reali...dad los derechos de todos los niños y niñas y viceversa.
El presente informe apela a los Estados para que cumplan sus compromisos con un vigor, una urgencia y una imaginación renovados para que todos los niños y niñas puedan crecer sanos, con acceso a la educación, protegidos de la violencia y con la libertad de elegir cómo quieren vivir sus vidas.
Pero esta tarea no la pueden lograr solo los Estados. Nosotros, como las seis principales ONG internacionales dedicadas a la infancia en todo el mundo, creemos que nuestra aportación es importante.
