Hello, I am here to address a pressing issue that seems to always be overlooked in our society: the need for mental health reform. It is a subject that can affect the lives of millions of people but yet it lurks in the shadows being misunderstood. We cannot continue this pattern of constantly neglecting this issue so that people do not suffer.
Mental health is as if not more important than physical health. Think about a world where
mental health is treated with the same importance as physical health. A world where seeking help
for your mental health isnt being seen as a sign of weakness but a valiant attempt at self care. A world where the services for help are accessible and affordable and even integrated into our healthcare system. This is a world we must strive to create. First of all we should address a stigma that looms around the topic of mental health. Stigma regarding mental health seems to have a barrier when it comes to seeking help by giving feelings of shame and isolation. I believe we should push these old stereotypes and misconceptions that can fuel this stigma and substitute them with understanding and empathy. I believe that everyone should be treated with respect regardless of what issues they are dealing with mentally.
Second of all, we should expand access to mental health services so that everyone can access them. I see a huge difference between the demand for these services and the resources that
are available. Some people are having to wait weeks, even months, just to have an appointment with a professional and I believe that this is very unacceptable. I believe that we should invest into the mental health infrastructure so that everyone has access to care they need in a reasonable
time.
In today’s world everyone is basically digital. That can include the integration of technology into mental health care shows us a promising look to expand access to some of the services mentioned before. Teleheallth services have emerged as convenient ways to connect people to mental health professionals. Just one issue, and that issue is how long it actually takes to speak to someone making it pretty limited in some areas. Additionally, apps on your phone can provide tools for self management such as tracking symptoms and practicing mindfulness. By embracing the technology we have, we can narrow the gaps in access and sometimes enhance
the quality of care so that we can empower individuals to manage their mental well being. I believe investing more research into these tools is vital to unlocking its full potential for a better future.
I also believe we should educate students about mental health from a younger age by integrating mental health into our school curriculums. By doing this we can foster a generation that is aware of mental health issues. Knowledge is power and I believe by doing this we can break that cycle of stigma and shame.
Advocating for policies that prioritize mental health at state and federal levels are also an important thing to mention. This means increasing funding for research on mental health and improving insurance coverage for services related to mental health. By prioritizing these things

Write a paraphrase of the following passages.1. Bats are in the limelight these days because they are rumored to be the source of COVID-19, the virus that caused the coronavirus pandemic. But that is just part of their story. Bats turn out to be miraculous creatures. Their ability to age without decrepitude or cancer, as well as fight off a multitude of infections, are giving us clues about how to do the same for ourselves.

A piece of news reported that Jenjarom, a town located in the Kuala Langat District, is now
smothered in 17,000 tonnes (17mil kg) of plastic waste. There were 33 illegal factories in Kuala
Langat, the district Jenjarom is located in. Some sprang up nearby dense palm oil plantations,
whereas others were closer to town. The smell started a while ago but got worse around August
this year. People in the town started to feel unwell and would keep coughing. These illegal
recycling plants choose to dispose of plastic a cheaper way - either burying it or burning it
causing fumes - so hazardous that some people even coughed up blood clots while some could
not sleep at night because of the smelly air. Children were also affected, especially those who
lived nearest to the factories in Jenjarom. There were reports some children developed really
bad rashes around their stomach, neck, legs, and arms. Their skin would keep peeling, even
when touched by people, and hurtful. The smell was far and wide…

Why are ducks waterproof? It’s because they produce copious amounts of oils from their uropygial glands and spread it across their feathers. In this exercise, we’ll be investigating the molecular structure of one of these preen oils to determine how it keeps ducks dry.
Q.5 - Preen oil is actually a complicated mixture of many different organic compounds, such as the structure seen previously.. Ornithologists have determined that birds often use preen oil compounds for scent recognition. Below, several different chemicals isolated from preen oil are shown, along with their vapor pressures at room temperature. p-cymene has the highest vapor pressure, meaning it is the most easily evaporated compound of the three listed.
Explain why p-cymene has a higher vapor pressure at room temperature compared to the other compounds. Make sure to explain what holds the p-cymene in the sample.

Like anatomy and physiology, chemistry may be a somewhat scary subject for you. Think of it this way: Chemistry is simply the study of matter, its composition, structure, properties, and the changes matter may undergo. Your goal in training as a cosmetologist is not to become a scientist, but to develop a comfort level with the basics and an ability to discuss chemistry in relation to your profession. This will increase your credibility significantly with your clients, especially during the consultation process.
In the space provided, write how chemistry affects your everyday life.

A large population of Japanese beetles infests a plot of cropland. In response to the infesta
tion, farmers treat the land with organochlorine pesticides. As a result of the treatment, the
population of Japanese beetles is eradicated within the cropland, along with the popula-
tions of multiple other insect species.
Which of the following statements explains the most likely reason for the death of so
many insect populations?
Organochlorine pesticides are persistent organic pollutants that interfere with the respi-
ratory system of the insect populations.
Organochlorine pesticides are endocrine disruptors that interfere with the growth hor-
mones of the insect populations.
Organochlorine pesticides are persistent organic pollutants and interfere with the re-
productive organs of the insect populations.
Organochlorine pesticides are endocrine disruptors that interfere with the transmission
of nerve impulses, resulting in spasms, seizures, and death of the insect populations.

Greenwashing is a major problem. Companies will say they are using practices that benefit the environment while really not taking any steps to do so. An example is Terracycle - a company that is supposedly able to recycle non-recyclable plastics and by-products - but which went over a year without collecting products from any of their customers. How can consumers navigate the labels to determine if products are actually sustainable.

A discharge pipe releases small amounts of various alcohols from an industrial fermentation process into a lake. Local scientists would like to estimate the rate at which the alcohols are degrading in the lake. One of them, butanol (C4H9OH), is released to the lake at a rate of 20 kg/day. Butanol is measured in the lake water on several occasions at a concentration of 10-4 kg/m3; no butanol is detected in the inflowing stream. Average streamflow at the outlet of the lake is measured to be 3 x 104 m3/day. What is the magnitude of internal sinks of butanol? Assume there is not butanol exchange with the atmosphere.

It is estimated that the total amount of oxygen (O2) contained in BIFS is equivalent to 6.6% of the oxygen present in the modern atmosphere.
This is quite impressive given that the atmosphere during Archaean and early Proterozoic times was largely devoid of oxygen! Therefore, this
reflects the photosynthetic efficiency of the early biosphere, coupled with its operation over long periods of time. Knowing that the mass of
the modern atmosphere is 5.01×1018 kg, of which 21% is oxygen, what is the mass (in kilograms) of oxygen contained within BIFS?

You are a forensic scientist. You are investigating a murder involving poison. The victim was poisoned with a compound called di-chlorobenzene, whose formula is C6H4Cl2. Autopsy results show that the victim’s body contained about 27.5 g of the poison, but the actual amount could have been slightly higher due to tissue absorption. The main suspect is his wife, Suzanne, who works as a chemistry professor. Records show that she purchased 15 g of benzene (C6H6) two days before the murder. Benzene is one of the compounds use to make the poison. She claims she was using it to make methyl benzene (C6H5CH3), an innocuous compound, for use in her lab. She shows you the bottle of methyl benzene she claims to have made. It contains 25 g of methyl benzene.
To produce di-chlorobenzene, the reaction is:
Cl2(g) + C6H6(l) ⟶⟶ C6H4Cl2(l) + H2(g)
To produce methyl benzene, the reaction is:
CH4(g) + C6H6(l) ⟶⟶ C6H5CH3(l) + H2(g)
Use stoichiometry to solve this case. Be sure to show all…
