Doctor
This class is called Cure. The last unit is called Prevention. In Prevention, our third and last unit, we investigate the discovery of vaccines and medicine that prevents disease. What I learned about was many different types of ways you can prevent diseases. For our action project, we had to pretend to be a doctor and make a patient profile for a disease we chose. I chose my disease to be heart disease. I chose that because it seemed interesting. What I liked about this project was researching about pretending to be a doctor to make a patient profile. The thing I had trouble with was finding all of my research. I overcame that by looking up patient profiles. My project is below.

How Bad Is An Outbreak Of HIV/AIDS
This course was called Disease which is a STEAM the unit was called World. In this unit, we learned about R-Naught and how a disease can spread. We also learned about the categorizing of an outbreaking disease. For this AP, we had to find a disease and do research about it and make a Newspaper about it. What I had fun when doing this project was making the newspaper. what I had trouble with was finding what the R-Naught and other research items. I overcome that by asking for help and doing more research. Overall I thought this project was fun to make.
My disease that I am researching is HIV/AIDS. I found an outbreak in Africa in 1990s-2000s. “1990 Jonathan Mann resigned as the head of the WHO AIDS programmed, to protest against the failure of the UN and governments worldwide to respond adequately to the exploding pandemic, and to protest against the actions of the then WHO director-general Dr. Hiroshi Nakajima. During Jonathan Mann's leadership, the AIDS programmed became the largest single programmed in the organization’s history.”
HIV symptoms include fever, sore throat, and fatigue can occur. AIDS symptoms include weight loss, fever or night sweats, fatigue, and recurrent infections. The R-Naught is 2-5. It means 2-5 of new cases from one person. Two risk factors are having unprotected sex and having another STD.
91% of HIV cases in Africa are caused by sexual transmission and virtually all is heterosexual. “So says the World Health Organization, with other agencies toeing the line. Some massive condom airdrops accompanied by a persuasive propaganda campaign would practically make the epidemic vanish overnight. Or would it?” In Africa, the HIV outbreak is epidemic because epidemic means, “a widespread occurrence of an infectious disease in a community at a particular time.” In Africa, there are a lot of communities that have HIV/AIDS. “69% live in sub-Saharan Africa. There are roughly 23.8 million infected persons in all of Africa. 91% of the world's HIV-positive children live in Africa.”
There is no Vaccine for HIV yet but here is an Evaluation of: Liu J, O’Brien KL, Lynch DM et al.: Immune control of an SIV challenge by a T-cell-based vaccine in rhesus monkeys. Nature 457(7225), 87–91 (2009), of it. It says that we don’t have a vaccine but what you can do is have safer sex. For the decline of HIV, it was nearly declined over 20% overall during the past decade. Is happened because people had safer sex.

Here is a list of things to avoid a future outbreak of HIV/AIDS:
1. Use a new condom every time you have sex:
2. Consider the drug Truvada:
3. Tell your sexual partners if you have HIV:
4. Use a clean needle:
5. If you're pregnant, get medical care right away:
6. Consider male circumcision:

OCD In You!
This course was called Disease which is a STEAM the unit was called Mind. In this unit, we learned about mental disease. We learned about what mental diseases there are and how to diagnose them. We learned about the brain waves and how each can work or not work with some mental diseases or disorders. For this AP, we had to find a disease and make a video, and a simulation of it. The disease I did was OCD. We had to present out project on Wednesday February 8. The thing that I excelled at was the video and presenting part. The part that I had trouble with the most was trying to find and create a simulation. I overcame that by looking up case studies and examples of OCD simulations. Overall this Action Project was great I learned some many things about OCD and how it gets diagnose. Watching the videos of the simulation really helped me think of ways to make the class feel what people with OCD feel everyday. Also by reading some articles about kids who have OCD and watching a video about Howie Mandel and his life with OCD helped a lot too. Look below to see my project!

The North Pole
For the first class for the year, for STEAM we are in the second population unit. In unit 2, we went through a journey to learn where we were from. This unit introduces Darwin and his theories on Natural Selection as a mechanism for evolution. We examined the evidence for Evolution and came to understand how changes are selected. The thing that I had the most trouble with was the recording because I am self-conscious of my voice and when I record, I always talk faster than I normally do. What I did to overcome it was read clearly and not to speak fast. The thing that I was most proud of was the math part of the Action Project because I could understand that part and do a good job on it.

Since this set of animals has a standard deviation of around 14, this means that the whole group is 14.05.
When we choose animals from a group, I choose dogs for my animal. We had to choose 3 out of 10 who we think will survive in the new environment and pass on their genetic traits. The are two ways for choosing them for the North Pole. The first is Combination. A combination is where order does not matter. Another way is Permutation, which is where order does matter.

10 C 3
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
5x3x8= 120
This means that there are 120 way they can go in no matter what order.
10 P 3
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1
10x9x8= 720
This means that there are 720 they can go in where order does matter.
For my animals being put in the North Pole, it will be a combination because it doesn't matter how or where you put them in, there will still be a group of three out of ten.
