My name is Mary during the sixth semester of foreign trade and international
economic negotiations and the fourth level of English at the State Technical
University Carchi.
Development
Being back in the University I did a little difficult because I still do not get used to
achieve the new form but I think the other half that follows and can acoplarme.
I have to go to class four days a week beginning on Tuesday where I have
logistics at two in the afternoon and where no task force for the next class and I
have to leave at four in the afternoon.
On Wednesday I have international economic policy in the same way I have to
be at the two p.m., in the class we should only be talking about politics, as the
country is so but sometimes bores me to hear so much politics, I think the
magister could make more dynamic class not tired, so we always have to
generate work and I let out at four in the afternoon.
On Thursday I have logistics and we must come back at two in the afternoon,
the class should discuss the issue of consultation that leaves us and I have to
leave at four in the afternoon.
On Friday, I have no classes is my day of rest and relaxation.
And finally on Saturday I have i English at two in the afternoon, this matter is of
paramount importance and that English is spoken in many countries but still I
have difficulty that three years ago leaving the English and I have not much
knowledge but little by little I learned and I have to leave at seven in the
evening.
Also something that I can do is being on time to class.
In the University I have also new friends with whom I can share ideas and
concerns.
Conclusions
Being in the state technical university is a privilege Carchi because every day
I'm gaining knowledge should serve in the future.

PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENTS
INTRODUCTION:
Importantly, we go through different stages of adolescence and is the most
complicated and causing more problems, the teen encounters many new things
that you want to experience, risk is part of the fun in your life, there is concern
and act without realizing it, that's why I fall into problems which eventually
repent, as these leave traces of pain in his life, and happiness is fading.
Many problems are achieved when each person is on the road to face
responsibility acts being committed and should not be influenced by others,
each person is master of his own destiny.
Friends in the adolescent's life mean a lot to him, as these are what convey joy
to your life, at this stage the adolescent feels the need to be free to act without
restriction, is why are detached from the power of parents, yet do not realize
that this world we are in, he has many things to get your attention, the teen
should not let current crawl error and being the master of his body, has the duty
of care and intelligence capacity has to distinguish between what is good and
bad for their future.
For the teenager in love is the cause of your problems, because when you are
attracted to someone will do anything to get his attention by exposing their own
health and that your partner is more damage is done.
The family is a fundamental part in the development of adolescents, and that if
parents do not atocha due importance to the problems facing their children,
make these more vulnerable to fall into errors.
DEVELOPMENT:
First Alcohol. Over 60% of adolescents between 12 and 20 years consume
alcohol as adults. They do it anytime and anywhere.
Alcohol is the drug most often causes problems in adolescents. Parents should
be alert to any sudden and severe change their children's behavior.
It must maintain a fluid and ongoing dialogue with the children so they can
attend our meeting when needed. This requires that they feel listened to, not
judged and not subjected.
12
Second Drugs. A significant proportion of young people, about 30% have tried
marijuana. Schools and teachers can help intervene and prevent drug abuse.
Third unwanted pregnancies. Despite the overdose of information out there, not
familiar adolescent contraception, and other issues related to healthy sexuality
and responsible.
Fourth Bullying by peers. Today mobile phones and social networks have
become the bane of many who cannot defend themselves from attacks by guys
in their environment.
Eating disorder fifth and image. In a world where image is paramount, according
to mass media and society, the boys dream to have perfect bodies, very far
from reality. Anorexia and bulimia are the main diseases in deriving these
unrealistic ideas, but by 95% for women.
Sixth Depression and emotional disorders: factors have become responsible for
10% of deaths of adolescents. Today many young people suffer from
depression, which is aided by continued uncertainty adults living on the job,
your future, etc.
Accidents Seventh. Here help, and much, uncontrolled consumption of alcohol,
lack of driver education they have and totally irresponsible. Adolescence, time
of life where they can feel strong emotions torments and frequent clashes
between the young and the adults.
Eighth Violence and abuse. A quarter of the complaints made by women victims
of abuse and violence are under 20 years.
Ninth Problems of Internet misuse. Internet addiction affects mainly older guys.
These are young people who spend more than 20 hours a week to the web and
use it to play "online", or watch pornography.
Sects and socio Tenth addictions. Sects subjected to bondage and seek
unhealthy dependence of thought, affection and will. Teenagers are often easy
targets.
Eleventh: Juvenile delinquency most times detention policies, expulsion and
punishment have not been effective in reducing crime. However, schools with
strong authority, fair discipline, which include the participation of students in
decision-making and to invest heavily in educational achievement of both
students and staff, has a greater opportunity to curb crime. The most important
thing is to improve the quality of education of young people from impoverished
environments.
13
CONCLUSIONS:
The age of adolescence is the age most problematic of all stages of life, but in
turn is the most comfortable. Unfortunately the teenager of today has different
problems that darken their beautiful age.
Drugs, alcohol, smoking and nutritional diseases were always part of this stage
but never being as protagonists. Unfortunately, today, are the main attractions
of the adolescent.
Adolescence brings with it the consolidation of formal logical thinking allowing
you to apply it to your personal life now, understand and grasp universal values,
like allowing you to plan your future or make a realistic career choice according
to their abilities. Extraversion where the teenager, who has already achieved its
identity as a unique, directed his interest toward reality allowing you to develop
feelings generous.
The teenager who is going through the youth crisis is especially susceptible to
developing depression, either by the changes you are facing or in the amount of
conflict that now has this. You can also drop in criminal behavior under the
influence of drugs. This behavior are not only the product of an internal process,
but is strongly influenced by the type of relationship with their parents and their
group behavior.
The teenager must achieve sexual identity, for this we should do with integrity
require that questions the sexual patterns culturally assigned gender, since this
condition involves a cross-developing the potential of each sex, giving the
opportunity to train in as completely as possible. Adolescent sexual activities
are becoming more frequent and intimate, with the consequent risk of early
pregnancy, which prevents the teenager to live fully this stage, jumping to
maturity, without the necessary features that stage requires.
Improving communication between teachers, tutors and parents to take better
control of the adolescent.
Increase resources for teachers to conflicts that may arise in the classroom.
Parents also need to intervene because if the household's understanding and
communication may avoid this kind of problems.

Dear Friend,
Sorry to hear that you're going through an
awkward and difficult.
But the best thing you can do is tell your
parents what happened to your brother and
so they can find a solution to the problem in
your brother with alcohol.
In these cases you lose trust with your
brother, but then eventually you will know
everything you do thank him.
I really hope things are resolved.
With love,
Mary

the source of water for the population of the Bolivar and Chimborazo provinces.
A tradition of the communities near the volcano is bring ice from the glaciers of

26
GLOBAL WARMING
The Problem
The problem lies in the concentration
of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere
from natural sources such as volcanic
eruptions, weathering of rocks and
artificial sources such as gas burning
cars and factories and power plants
burn coal and emits toxic gases.
Temperature Increase
Global warming is a term used to refer
to the phenomenon of the increase in
global average temperature of Earth's
atmosphere and oceans, possibly
reached the level of the medieval
warming in the mid-twentieth century,
to exceed it from then.
Water and Soil Pollution
The main effect that causes global
warming is the greenhouse effect; a
phenomenon referred to absorption by
certain atmospheric gases, mainly
H2O, CO2 and O3 followed by the part
of the soil emits energy as a result of
being heated by solar radiation.
Without this natural greenhouse effect,
temperatures would drop by about 30 °
C, with such a change, the oceans
would freeze and life as we know it
would be impossible. For this effect to
occur, are needed these greenhouse
gases, but in suitable proportions.
What worries climatologists are that a
rise in this ratio will produce an
increase in temperature due to heat
trapped in the lower atmosphere.
Solutions
The solution is that we can stop the
worst impacts of global warming if we
can get more efficient factories,
households and offices to reduce
energy waste which are produced
more cars gas mileage and using
cleaner technologies. But you need to
take action now and acted in a manner
determined to avoid serious
consequences. Each year that passes
without the global warming problem
facing a decidedly makes this problem
more difficult and more expensive to
solve. If we do not find a solution within
the next 10 years could be too late.

SUN SAFETY FOR KIDS
Sun-protective Hats and Clothing
Heads up!
Wearing a sun-protective hat is a simple and effective strategy for reducing
ultraviolet radiation to the face, head and neck. If children could become
accustomed to wearing a hat when outdoors at school it should increase the
likelihood that they will routinely wear one for non-school outdoor activities as
well. But, the fear of ridicule from one’s peers can certainly be a strong
deterrent. Without a school policy to encourage, require, or reward, students for
wearing a sun-protective hat, it is somewhat unlikely that children will allow
themselves to benefit from using this practical and inexpensive cancer-
prevention device.
History of Hats in Schools
Most schools have, or had, a policy to prohibit children from wearing a hat at
school. Concerns about hats being used as a sign of gang identification are
most frequently cited as the reason behind such policy. After learning that
some California schools would not even allow a hat to be worn by a child with a
strong genetic susceptibility to skin cancer and a doctor’s note, Mrs. Karen
Graham took action. Following the death of her son at an early age from
melanoma, Mrs. Graham initiated legislation that resulted in an amendment to
the California Education Code as follows:
Each school site shall allow for outdoor use during the school day, articles of
sun-protective clothing, including, but not limited to, hats. (2) Each school site
may set a policy related to the type of sun-protective clothing, including, but not
limited to, hats, that pupils will be allowed to use outdoors pursuant to
paragraph (1). Specific clothing and hats determined by the school district or
school site to be gang-related or inappropriate apparel may be prohibited by the
dress code policy.
Communication Gap
Many California parents and students remain unaware that children now have
the right to wear a hat outdoors at school. Although some schools and districts
have amended their policy or dress code to remove the prohibition against hats,
few have taken the important additional step of encouraging sun-protective hats
and clothing. In effect, there is room for improvement in most schools.
43
Promoting Hats and Long Clothing
By implementing policies and incentives aimed at encouraging the use of sun-
protective hats and clothing, schools have the no-cost opportunity to reduce the
risk of skin cancer among the students and staff.
Many schools already sell articles of attire, such as T-shirts. Why not
encourage sun safety by adding sun-protective items? A hat sporting the
school name or mascot could not only promote school pride but also bring in
additional revenue.
What Type of Hat Shall be Allowed?
While California law gives students the right to wear a hat outdoors at school,
schools retain the discretion to determine the type of hat. Whatever policy the
school adopts, the goal should be the wearing of a hat by most or all students
and personnel.
Police Options:
 Students may procure/wear any hat or visor that provides reasonable
sun protection.
 Hats meeting certain design criteria (as defined by the school or district)
are allowed.
 Certain types of hat (definition supplied) are not allowed.
 Only specific hat(s), that the school or district provides for sale or to be
ordered, are allowed.
Primary School
Young children will likely wear whatever that is recommended. Primary schools
could provide a helpful service by educating parents about the features to look
for in a sun-protective hat and/or offering proper hats for sale or to be ordered.
Policy might be implemented to more strongly encourage, or possibly require,
hat-wearing for outdoor activities at this level. As these children proceed into
secondary school, they might be less likely to object to hats.
Secondary School
Teenagers are notoriously fashion conscious. For any success with a
campaign to encourage hat-wearing in secondary school it might be necessary
to allow students considerable flexibility in their choice of a hat. Although
baseball caps are not ideal, one school of thought among sun safety advocates
is that “Any hat is better than no hat.” For students who object to a hat that
disturbs their coiffure, a large clip-on visor could be a satisfactory compromise.
44
Most school or physical education uniforms are not particularly stylish but they
are worn because it’s the rule. If only one or a limited number of hats is allowed
(equalizing the fashion disadvantage to every student), and if effective
incentives are provided for wearing the hat, reasonable success might be
achievable. However, there is a significant risk of total failure with this
approach.
The chance of success might be improved if students are invited to participate
in determining what type of hat(s), or what specific hat(s), will or will not be
allowed. Securing the cooperation of school leaders, trend-setters, and
teachers in wearing and promoting the hats might help to establish their
acceptability. It may also be advisable to develop a strategy for discouraging
and punishing harassment of a child who does wear a hat or long clothing.
Clothing
California has granted its school children the right to wear long clothing for
outdoor activities while at school. Schools can now help to prevent skin cancer
by promoting long clothing.
Primary School
Parents of young children should be asked to provide a long sleeved garment
for their child to bring to school and slip on (unless already wearing long
sleeves) before outdoor activities. This could be called a “play shirt.” To
prevent overheating on a warm day, it should be lightweight and loose fitting.
Schools may re-think their dress policy about shorts in light of the increased
exposure to UV radiation that they permit. It might be a hard sell to students
and parents alike, but loose fitting, lightweight long pants or dresses can be just
as cool and comfortable during warm weather.
Secondary School
The traditional physical education uniform consists of a T-shirt and short shorts.
To promote sun safety, schools could re-configure the P.E. uniform to
incorporate longer sleeves and shorts, and a sun-protective hat, for the benefit
of all students. Rather than merely recommending sweatshirts and sweatpants,
choose cover-up clothing that is lightweight and loose fitting to prevent
overheating.
Lives can be saved
With numerous research studies clearly linking childhood sun damage to the
later development of skin cancer, a passive allowance of hats and long clothing
is not sufficient. With virtually no impact on the budget, schools can actively
encourage sun-safe behavior so that fewer of today’s children will have to face
the morbidity or mortality of melanoma as adults.
45
SUN-PROTECTIVE CLOTHING
California Education Code
A sun-protective clothing policy should address two important goals:
1. Encouraging students and personnel to cover up when outdoors
2. Specifying the type of sun-protective clothing that is, or is not, allowed
Why can't Everyone Just Use Sunscreen?
It is very fortunate that sunscreen products are available for use as a second
line of defense. However, sunscreens sometimes fail, usually attributable to
user error, which can result in unintentional sun damage. By contrast, clothing
is:
 Cost effective. A garment costs about the same as one or two bottles of
sunscreen, but lasts much longer
 On average, a more effective UV blocker. Less prone to “missed spots”
or “under application”
 Dependable. Doesn’t wash off, rub off, dissipate, penetrate, or expire
 Not messy. Spillproof
 Not an irritant. Doesn’t cause eye irritation or acne
 Quicker to apply. Covers large areas in a hurry
The "Play Shirt"
When the children in an elementary class prepare to go outside for physical
activity, the time savings and tidiness that clothing affords will prove to be a
great advantage over total reliance on sunscreen.
The parents of young children should be asked to provide a “play shirt,” with
long sleeves and a collar that can be kept in the child’s backpack or stashed at
school. To avoid the time and mess of applying sunscreen to the neck,
shoulders, upper back, and arms, children can simply slip on their play shirt,
right over whatever they are already wearing, before going outdoors. (It would
not need to be buttoned down the front when worn over a tee shirt.) Children
can remove the play shirt when they return indoors. If the shirt is lightweight
and well ventilated, it should not cause overheating. However, during extremely
warm weather, sunscreen could be used instead.
By wearing a hat and covering the arms and legs with clothing, sunscreen need
only be applied to the lower face, neck, and backs of the hands. What a great
savings in both time and cost!
Legs
As outlined above, compared to sunscreen, long pants and skirts would reduce
cost, time, and messiness in protecting the leg skin from UV damage.
46
Physical Education
Without a sun-protective clothing policy, a dispute might arise between teacher
and student if a child should independently choose to wear long clothing, as
opposed to the standard uniform, for a physical education class in California.
The California Ed. Code states: “Each school site may set a policy related to
the type of sun-protective clothing, including, but not limited to, hats, that pupils
will be allowed to use outdoors...”
To help in the prevention of skin cancer, and to prevent student-teacher
misunderstanding, here are some steps secondary schools can take:
 Review the current physical education uniform for its sun protection
capacity
 Re-define the P.E. uniform to incorporate items that cover more skin
 Consider adding hats (such as legionnaire-style caps) to the uniform
 Recommend that uniform items be made of fabric that has a UPF
(Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of at least 15
 Define allowed alternatives to the standard P.E. uniform for students who
choose to cover more skin than the amount covered by the standard
uniform
 Communicate your clothing and hats policy to students, parents, and
teachers
 Develop strategies to actively encourage students to cover up and wear
a hat for all outdoor activities including, but not limited to, physical
education class
SUNSCREEN
To complement more reliable methods of reducing skin exposure to ultraviolet
(UV) radiation (such as sun avoidance, clothing, and hats) sunscreen can be
very useful. However, limitations to the effectiveness of sunscreen include the
following common user errors:
 Failure to apply enough
 Uneven application / mis sed spots
 Failure to re-apply
Because some amount of UV radiation might pass by the sunscreen,
unintentional sunburn can occur. Think of these products as a back-up to other,
more effective, and sun safety strategies.
47
UVA UVB
The sun emits a broad spectrum of radiation that includes harmless visible light
as well as ultraviolet radiation. The bands of wavelengths that damage human
skin are categorized as UVA and UVB. UVB rays are the main cause of the
skin turning red, or exhibiting sunburn. They can fracture the DNA in skin cells,
resulting in mutations. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are the
main cause of wrinkling, and discoloration. They cause the formation of
damaging atoms called free radicals, and can inhibit the immune system from
doing its job to prevent cancer. It is important to protect the skin from both UVA
and UVB.
Broad Spectrum Sunscreen
If, and only if a sunscreen effectively filters out UVA rays as well as UVB rays
(which is highly desirable) it may be labeled "Broad Spectrum." When shopping
for sunscreen, always look for a product labeled "Broad Spectrum SPF" rather
than simply "SPF." Certain antioxidants can augment the broad spectrum
protection. Look for a mention of antioxidants on the product label but
unfortunately there is not yet any rating system to help you compare antioxidant
effectiveness between products.
Dosage
Probably the greatest drawback with sunscreen is that most people do not apply
a sufficient dose. The SPF number is determined by the manufacturer using a
“standard” application amount (required by the FDA) of 2 milligrams of product
per square centimeter of skin. For the average adult in a bathing suit this would
be a little more than one ounce, or approximately a shot glass full. (That’s one
quarter of the typical 4 oz. sunscreen bottle.) When a person applies less than
the “standard” amount, only a fraction of the labeled SPF will be achieved.
Studies have shown that the average person applies less than half the
“standard” amount of sunscreen, which results in an SPF of only about one third
of that labeled on the bottle. Sprays on sunscreens are particularly subject to
under dosing. By contrast, if more than the “standard” amount is applied, the
SPF achieved will exceed that labeled on the bottle.
UV causes some sunscreen ingredients to gradually deteriorate on the skin’s
surface in response to sun exposure. Sunscreen can also dissipate due to
sweating, rubbing, and penetration into the skin. To maintain maximum effect,
sunscreen should be re-applied every two hours. A single application before
coming to school cannot be expected to adequately protect a child for afternoon
physical education.
These products must be applied liberally and, as with paint, two coats are better
than one. Thus, Sun Safety for Kids coined the phrase: “Put on a lot. And don’t
miss a spot!”
48
A History of Prohibition
Because sunscreens are regulated by the FDA as over the counter drugs, many
California schools either refrained from encouraging their use or prohibited them
under a “zero tolerance for drugs” policy. To overcome this hurdle, in 2002 the
California state government amended the Education Code as follows:
(1) Each school site shall allow pupils the use of sunscreen
during the school day without a physician's note or prescription.
(2) Each school site may set a policy related to the use of
sunscreen by pupils during the school day.
(3) For purposes of this subdivision, sunscreen is not an
over-the-counter medication.
(4) Nothing in this subdivision requires school personnel to
assist pupils in applying sunscreen.
Using sunscreen at school
Schools should actively encourage sunscreen use as a supplement to other sun
safety strategies such as hats, long clothing, sun avoidance, etc.
Parents should be asked to ensure that their child has a sufficient supply for use
at school. Reminders from the teacher, as well as announcements, posters, etc.
will help to increase compliance.
Adopt a plan to accommodate children who forget or run out of sunscreen.
Product can be sold in the student store and a supply can be stocked in the
nurse’s office. If funding allows, a large pump bottle can be supplied in primary
school classrooms, and in the gym at secondary schools. (A P.E. uniform with
longer sleeves and pants will lessen the amount of sunscreen necessary.)
Although teachers in Australia commonly assist young children in applying their
sunscreen when necessary, American teachers tend to be fearful of touching a
student. Nonetheless primary teachers can be a tremendous help by
demonstrating application technique on themselves and by providing
appropriate supervision and reminders, focusing most closely on students who
have the most lightly pigmented skin.
Risk reduction
When it’s suggested that U.S. schools could follow the Australian example of
providing a supply of sunscreen in classrooms, administrators commonly raise
an unfounded concern that some child might be allergic. Fortunately, allergic
reaction to sunscreen is very uncommon and, if one does occur, it is generally a
minor reversible skin rash.
49
This is in sharp contrast to the potentially serious type of allergy that can occur
in reaction to certain foods, such as shellfish or peanuts. Any concerns about
possible misuse or allergy to sunscreen should be on a par with those regarding
other skin products already found at school, such as the hand soap supplied in
the restroom.
A simple and appropriate risk reduction strategy would be to inform parents of
the availability of sunscreen at the school. If the parent objects to the school’s
sunscreen, they should be advised to counsel their child not to use it.
Summary
Due to UV, the outdoors during daylight is akin to a radiation chamber. To help
protect children from sustaining damage on the playground, schools can and
should strongly promote the use of sunscreen as a supplement to other sun
protection methods.
SHADE / UV INDEX
“We can’t afford shade structures, so the subject of sun safety will not be
considered,” declared one school administrator.
Although shade structures may indeed require acquisition funding there are
numerous steps a school can take to reduce children’s exposure to ultraviolet
(UV) radiation with little or no financial impact.
Avoid Unintentional Sun Exposure
Begin with a survey of your school site(s) to identify existing areas that are
shaded. Children should not be required to spend time in direct midday sunlight
if a shade alternative is at hand. For example, sometimes children are ushered
into the middle of a field for a prolonged period of time during a disaster drill, or
are required to sit at a lunch table that is not shaded. Establish procedures to
shift activity and congregation into shaded or indoor areas when feasible. When
there is no reasonable alternative, compensate by encouraging or providing
other sun-protective items, such as hats, long clothing, umbrellas, and
sunscreen.
Track the UV Index
The level of ultraviolet radiation striking your school varies with the altitude,
season, time of day, and weather conditions. Levels are greater from March to
November and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during daylight saving time. These
are the periods when sun safety should be most strongly promoted.
The Ultraviolet Index is calculated daily to forecast the strength of ultraviolet
radiation across the nation. You can determine the UV Index for your area by
logging on to the EPA website at www.epa.gov/sunwise. Click on “UV Index
Forecast,” and search by entering your zip code.
50
Kickoff your sun safety program each year during the first week of March, on
the first day of spring, or during Wellness Week with announcements,
reminders, instruction, etc. Between March and November (or year-round in
high UV areas) heighten awareness by tracking and communicating the UV
Index to the school community, accompanied by appropriate warnings and sun
safety tips when the level is high.
Shade Trees
Trees can not only provide shade for outdoor activities, they can also help to
keep school buildings cooler, reducing air conditioning costs. Look for sites on
the campus that could benefit from tree shade.
Mr. Frank McDonough, horticulturist at the Los Angeles Arboretum, has
provided his recommendations for the best shade trees for use on Southern
California campuses. See his list on our trees.
Through their "Campus Forestry" program, Tree People (a California nonprofit)
assists schools to design and develop a tree-planting program involving the
participation of students, staff, and parents. Visit their website at
http://www.treepeople.org/
Scheduling of Outdoor Activities
There usually aren’t sufficient resources for making substantial changes, but try
to take advantage of lower UV levels before 10:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m. by
prioritizing outdoor activities during those periods. Between 10 and 4, which is
of course most of the school day, don’t discourage outdoor physical activity but,
particularly during the high UV season, strongly promote sun safety measures
to “Block the sun; Not the fun.”
In areas of the country where winters are cold, there is usually a gymnasium,
even at elementary schools, to provide children with a protected environment
for physical activity. During sunny weather, capitalize on a gym’s capacity to
protect against UV radiation as well.
Architecture
The area adjacent to a building can sometimes be a good source of shade.
Locate and encourage the utilization of such existing areas. Any plans for new
construction or remodeling should include shade provision as an important and
desirable feature. Factors such as height, positioning of the building(s) on the
lot, overhangs, and breezeways can significantly increase shade availability.
51
Shade Structures
The lunch area and the young children’s play equipment are two sites
commonly found on school campuses where shade is highly desirable. In some
cases, a shade structure might be the best solution. Over the lunch area, a steel
roofed structure might be the best choice due to the added rain-protective
feature. For play equipment and large or irregular shaped areas, a UV-blocking
fabric cover would be a logical choice.
Of course it wouldn’t be possible or even desirable, to shade the entire school
campus. However, reasonable efforts can be made to increase the shade
options currently available to the students and staff. When shade structures are
desired, check for available grant, state, or local resources, and partner with
parent groups to organize a fundraising drive.
SUNGLASSES
There is evidence to indicate that protecting the eyes from ultraviolet radiation
may prevent the development of cataracts. The recent amendments to the
California Education Code do not specifically include sunglasses, yet they are
an important component of personal sun safety.
You’ll put your Eye out, kid!
Many schools discourage or do not allow students to wear sunglasses.
Administrators have voiced a variety of negative opinions, such as “they might
break,” “they might cause an injury,” “kids will lose them.” Yet, many children
with vision impairment routinely wear their corrective lenses on the playground
so it is difficult to fully justify these reservations. With a health benefit
attributable to wearing sunglasses, is it in children’s best interest to prohibit
them?
Nurture Informed Decision-Making
Parents and students can make their own informed decision after weighing the
potential benefit against the cost and possible danger associated with wearing
sunglasses. Develop a plan to inform parents and students that sunglasses are
allowed and, while disclaiming liability, provide tips on sunglasses safety. For
example, the lenses should provide 100% protection against UVA and UVB,
and a sports band will help to hold them onto the head.
CURRICULUM
Classroom instruction is a very important component of a school sun safety
program. A single intervention, such as a one-time school assembly, can be
impressive but for maximum effectiveness children should receive age-
appropriate sun safety instruction at every grade level. Fortunately, excellent
educational materials already exist which have been designed for use by
classroom teachers in existing school programs.
52
Primary School
Young children will benefit from learning how the sun’s invisible UV rays can
damage the skin. They can be taught the basic skills for personal sun safety,
and can be motivated to protect against overexposure.
Secondary School
Teenage students will learn about skin cancer, what causes it, and how it can
be prevented. The glamour of sun tanning can be debunked by demonstrating
the very ugly effects of chronic overexposure.
School Policy Reinforcement
Classroom sun safety education can include a review of the school’s sun safety
policies and recommendations. Discussion might center on whether the
students could do a better job of protecting themselves.
Resources
fortunately, excellent instructional materials already exist, designed specifically
for use by classroom teachers. Check our [link: Resources - Curriculum page]
for a list and description of available products.
Ideas for Secondary School Projects Involving Sun Safety
One of the best ways to learn a subject is to teach it. Here are a few ideas for
projects that could be undertaken by secondary school students with the
objective of teaching or promoting sun safety to others:
PERSONNEL
Those who supervise outdoor activities, teach physical education, or provide
grounds keeping services exemplify school employees who spend a significant
portion of their time working outdoors.
Risk Reduction
In California, an employee injury that arises out of and in the course of
employment is generally compensable through the workers' compensation
system. With respect to skin cancer, California [Labor Code Section
3212.11] specifies that if a lifeguard develops skin cancer during the course of
employment it will be considered work-related.
Compared to a lifeguard, who might not develop skin cancer until sometime
after leaving the job, it is more likely that a school employee will develop skin
cancer while still employed in outdoor work. Schools might wish to consider
whether this poses a risk management issue.
53
Good Policy
All school personnel should be aware of the dangers associated with
overexposure to ultraviolet radiation and be well acquainted with methods of
sun protection. The Director of Nursing Services might conduct in-service
training, issue periodic reminders and sun safety tips, and of course serve as a
model of sun-safe behavior.
While there may be a financial constraint against requiring (as opposed to
encouraging) that students wear a hat when outdoors, it might be reasonable to
require, or at least strongly encourage, that personnel take certain sun
precautions, such as wearing a hat.
By demonstrating their personal concern for sun safety, for example by putting
on a hat, long clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen before going outdoors, staff
members can play an important role in conveying the school’s serious
commitment to sun safety for the students.
COMMUNICATION
Breaking News!
Some school districts have already responded to the California law pertaining to
sun protection. Unfortunately, some of these same districts have neglected to
effectively communicate or encourage the implementation of their new policy to
the school community.
UV radiation is a significant health hazard that is encountered at school, at
school-sponsored activities, and elsewhere. We hope that schools will not only
adopt a comprehensive sun safety policy but also go the distance to ensure that
the policy is effectively disseminated to parents, students, and personnel.
Parents
Provide parents with background information that outlines why sun safety is so
important in the fight against skin cancer. Explain the details of the school’s
policy and urge parents to partner with the school to encourage student sun-
safe behavior both at school and at home. Remind parents to “walk the walk”
themselves. Convey messages in multiple media, such as letters, E-mail, the
school website, and parent-teacher meetings. Ensure that when parents search
for details pertaining to the school’s sun safety policy, such as what type of hat
is allowed, it will be relatively easy to find.
54
Students
Sun safety policy and recommendations should be reviewed at the beginning of
each school year and again during the first week of March. This might be
combined with sun safety instruction and, in elementary school, a screening of
The Sun Show. Keep sun safety on students’ radar through announcements
and reminders tied to the UV index, sun safety tips, posters, items for sale
(school hat, sunscreen, play shirt, etc.), and of course seeing teachers who
model sun-safe behavior. Send students off for spring and summer vacation
with the reminder to: “Stay sun-safe!”
Teachers
Teachers might need to be informed of certain policies directly affecting them as
employees, as well as others pertaining to the student body which they could
help to enforce. Pre-service and in-service training should include a policy
review along with general sun safety education. In order to increase their level
of motivation and willingness to model sun-safe behavior, help teachers
understand the stakes. They must know that they and their students can
reduce the risk of dying from skin cancer through the practice of sun safety.
Ask teachers to devote extra attention to children whose skin cancer risk is
higher due to light skin color.
VITAMIN D
The one health benefit that sunlight has on human skin is the production of
vitamin D. unfortunately, the ultraviolet rays that stimulate vitamin D production
(UVB rays) are the same ones that cause sunburn and skin cancer.
There isn't very much vitamin D in the typical American's diet. Some is present
in oily fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, and sardines) milk, and fortified cereal or
orange juice, but dietary sources alone are usually not sufficient for a healthy
blood level without the addition of substantial sun exposure or a vitamin
supplement.
Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets in children, and osteoporosis in adults.
An increased risk of other ills, such as cancer of the colon, breast, or prostate,
as well as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes might be linked to vitamin D
deficiency. More research is needed before all of these associations can be
considered certain but in the meantime it seems reasonable for everyone to
take prudent measures to maintain an adequate blood level of vitamin D.
During summer months, particularly in the southern latitudes, some individuals
acquire enough sun exposure to achieve an adequate vitamin D level.
However, while sun exposure is an effective source of vitamin D, it can
simultaneously increase the risk of skin cancer. When sunscreen is applied to
the skin, it not only reduces sun damage, but unfortunately it also blocks vitamin
D production.
55
Darkly pigmented skin, advanced age, and low UV index (e.g., winter months in
northern latitudes) are some of the factors that decrease the amount of vitamin
D produced by the skin in response to sun exposure. Because of the dual
impact of the sun's UV rays (skin cancer induction and vitamin D production)
those with the lightest skin pigment are at the highest risk of sun damage
resulting in skin cancer, while people with darker skin pigment are at lower risk
of skin cancer but higher risk for vitamin D deficiency.
Some authorities recommend routine limited or "sensible" sun exposure for
vitamin D. However, too many variables affect the amount of exposure time
needed (e.g., season, time of day, weather conditions, skin color, age) making it
impossible to give a simple recommendation such as "[X] minutes of sun per
day" that would be assured to provide sufficient vitamin D for all people. This
introduces the risk that people will unintentionally over-expose (fall asleep while
sunning) and increase their risk of skin cancer in the process. Sun Safety for
Kids agrees with the American Academy of Dermatology which "does not
recommend getting vitamin D from sun exposure (natural) or indoor tanning
(artificial) because ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds can
lead to the development of skin cancer1
.”
The amount of Vitamin D in food or in a supplement is commonly listed in
International Units (IU). Evidence is still emerging to determine the ideal safe
and effective amount of vitamin D that average healthy people should ingest. At
present, the National Institutes of Health2
recommends an intake of 600 IU per
day for Americans 1 to 70 years of age. Some experts recommend a higher
intake, in the range of 1,000 - 2,000 IU/day but the NIH warns that intakes in
excess of 4,000 IU/day might lead to vitamin D toxicity. The NIH also
discourages intentional sun exposure as a source of vitamin D, saying "it is
prudent to limit exposure of skin to sunlight."
Because vitamin D is fat soluble, vitamin D supplements are most effective if
taken with food.
The directors of Sun Safety for Kids believe that optimum health will be
achieved if people practice careful sun protection year round and compensate
by ingesting a sufficient daily amount of vitamin D.
Blood Test
A simple blood test called "25-hydroxy vitamin D" measures circulating vitamin
D and provides a fair assessment of the body's vitamin D status. The NIH
recommends that the level should be 21 ng/ml or higher, but some experts
suggest that blood levels in the range of 30 to 50 ng/ml are preferred. There is
no evidence that levels above 50 provide any added benefit and vitamin D
toxicity becomes a concern with higher levels. Levels tend to fluctuate with the
seasons (lower in winter/higher in summer) due to incidental sun exposure. A
doctor might order the blood test to help in determining the amount of vitamin D
supplementation that will provide optimum vitamin D status year round.

Sango rache grass adds color and flavor to the soup, cinnamon flower (tap),
cloves, boil verbena, orange leaves.
The preparation may vary, but most include discharges pineapple small squares

There are many ways they can express a sense of brotherhood with the dead

ancient customs of our people are still, and with them an identity that identifies

A PROS AND CONS ESSAY
Introduction:
Can you imagine yourself having a wild animal as a pet? It sounds
exciting, but is it right to have one at home?
Main body:
There are certain advantages to having wild animals as pets. First, it
is a good way to learn about them, because they show their
qualities, characteristics which we can capitalize on the relearning of
skills. Second, you help protect their species, because we can offer
them a safe place to live and eat.
On the other hand, there are certain drawbacks to having wild
animals as pets. First of all owners don’t know how to take care of
them because they are very difficult to control animals and eat a lot.
Also, they can be dangerous, because they could devour people
and animals.
Conclusion:
To sum up, wild animals should be in their natural habitat, where
they have ample space and enjoy freedom. I believe having them as
pets would not be right for the dangers it represents.

already reached dangerous levels in
many parts of the world. It is a serious
threat to human welfare and survival of
other beings on Earth.

relationship between environmental
pollution and deaths from
cardiovascular disease, bronchitis and
all types of cancer. In addition,

guidelines.
Following this, the industry is forced to
produce ovens, machines and cleaner
and more efficient methods. Micro

factories, homes and cars with a
variety of filters, washing devices and
electrostatic precipitators.
Conclusion
Air Pollution refers to any naturally
sucomposición alteration.
Air pollution can be caused by natural
factors or product of unconscious
human activities.
Air pollution has consequences for
human beings, animals, plants,
materials and environmental problems
such as smog, greenhouse effect, acid

Automobiles are major air pollutants.
But we can reduce this pollution when
we take measure.

FOOD CHAIN
PRODUCERS
Organisms are capable of transforming organic inorganic
substances. The producers are represented by plants and algae,
which have the power to transform the energy of sunlight into
chemical energy. All animals depend directly or indirectly
community of producers, demonstrating that without green plants is
impossible life on our planet.
CONSUMERS
The power of consumers is from producers or other consumers.
Within this group there are a lot of species, from the smallest to the
largest predators. Animals that eat plant organisms (cow, horse,
lobster, and giraffe) are primary consumers (or first order). The
animals that eat primary consumers (fox, frog, tiger, and eagle) are
secondary consumers (or second order). Every living organism is a
link in the chain. Typically, each chain having from two to five or six
membered.
DECOMPOSERS
The decomposers are responsible for disintegration of the dead
bodies of plants and animals. In addition, other power supply of
these organisms are animal droppings, hair and wool that mammals
lose, leaves and fruits of the trees that fall to the ground, etc..
Bacteria and fungi are the main living organisms that are
responsible for transforming the organic matter of dead organisms
into inorganic substances or minerals, to make them available to the
plants.
IMPORTANCE OF THE FOOD CHAIN
They are important as they maintain a balance in the environment
and also because from all the members of this takes place the
transformation of energy, on the other hand all living things are part
of the food chain, consumers still plants primary, the secondary
herbivores and predators including man is the tertiary.

On Wednesday I have international economic policy in the same way I have to be at the two p.m., in the class we should only be talking about politics, as the country is so but sometimes bores me to hear so much politics, I think the magister could make more dynamic class not tired, so we always have to generate work and I let out at four in the afternoon.

  • 11. 11 PROBLEMS OF ADOLESCENTS INTRODUCTION: Importantly, we go through different stages of adolescence and is the most complicated and causing more problems, the teen encounters many new things that you want to experience, risk is part of the fun in your life, there is concern and act without realizing it, that's why I fall into problems which eventually repent, as these leave traces of pain in his life, and happiness is fading. Many problems are achieved when each person is on the road to face responsibility acts being committed and should not be influenced by others, each person is master of his own destiny. Friends in the adolescent's life mean a lot to him, as these are what convey joy to your life, at this stage the adolescent feels the need to be free to act without restriction, is why are detached from the power of parents, yet do not realize that this world we are in, he has many things to get your attention, the teen should not let current crawl error and being the master of his body, has the duty of care and intelligence capacity has to distinguish between what is good and bad for their future. For the teenager in love is the cause of your problems, because when you are attracted to someone will do anything to get his attention by exposing their own health and that your partner is more damage is done. The family is a fundamental part in the development of adolescents, and that if parents do not atocha due importance to the problems facing their children, make these more vulnerable to fall into errors. DEVELOPMENT: First Alcohol. Over 60% of adolescents between 12 and 20 years consume alcohol as adults. They do it anytime and anywhere. Alcohol is the drug most often causes problems in adolescents. Parents should be alert to any sudden and severe change their children's behavior. It must maintain a fluid and ongoing dialogue with the children so they can attend our meeting when needed. This requires that they feel listened to, not judged and not subjected.
  • 12. 12 Second Drugs. A significant proportion of young people, about 30% have tried marijuana. Schools and teachers can help intervene and prevent drug abuse. Third unwanted pregnancies. Despite the overdose of information out there, not familiar adolescent contraception, and other issues related to healthy sexuality and responsible. Fourth Bullying by peers. Today mobile phones and social networks have become the bane of many who cannot defend themselves from attacks by guys in their environment. Eating disorder fifth and image. In a world where image is paramount, according to mass media and society, the boys dream to have perfect bodies, very far from reality. Anorexia and bulimia are the main diseases in deriving these unrealistic ideas, but by 95% for women. Sixth Depression and emotional disorders: factors have become responsible for 10% of deaths of adolescents. Today many young people suffer from depression, which is aided by continued uncertainty adults living on the job, your future, etc. Accidents Seventh. Here help, and much, uncontrolled consumption of alcohol, lack of driver education they have and totally irresponsible. Adolescence, time of life where they can feel strong emotions torments and frequent clashes between the young and the adults. Eighth Violence and abuse. A quarter of the complaints made by women victims of abuse and violence are under 20 years. Ninth Problems of Internet misuse. Internet addiction affects mainly older guys. These are young people who spend more than 20 hours a week to the web and use it to play "online", or watch pornography. Sects and socio Tenth addictions. Sects subjected to bondage and seek unhealthy dependence of thought, affection and will. Teenagers are often easy targets. Eleventh: Juvenile delinquency most times detention policies, expulsion and punishment have not been effective in reducing crime. However, schools with strong authority, fair discipline, which include the participation of students in decision-making and to invest heavily in educational achievement of both students and staff, has a greater opportunity to curb crime. The most important thing is to improve the quality of education of young people from impoverished environments.
  • 13. 13 CONCLUSIONS: The age of adolescence is the age most problematic of all stages of life, but in turn is the most comfortable. Unfortunately the teenager of today has different problems that darken their beautiful age. Drugs, alcohol, smoking and nutritional diseases were always part of this stage but never being as protagonists. Unfortunately, today, are the main attractions of the adolescent. Adolescence brings with it the consolidation of formal logical thinking allowing you to apply it to your personal life now, understand and grasp universal values, like allowing you to plan your future or make a realistic career choice according to their abilities. Extraversion where the teenager, who has already achieved its identity as a unique, directed his interest toward reality allowing you to develop feelings generous. The teenager who is going through the youth crisis is especially susceptible to developing depression, either by the changes you are facing or in the amount of conflict that now has this. You can also drop in criminal behavior under the influence of drugs. This behavior are not only the product of an internal process, but is strongly influenced by the type of relationship with their parents and their group behavior. The teenager must achieve sexual identity, for this we should do with integrity require that questions the sexual patterns culturally assigned gender, since this condition involves a cross-developing the potential of each sex, giving the opportunity to train in as completely as possible. Adolescent sexual activities are becoming more frequent and intimate, with the consequent risk of early pregnancy, which prevents the teenager to live fully this stage, jumping to maturity, without the necessary features that stage requires. Improving communication between teachers, tutors and parents to take better control of the adolescent. Increase resources for teachers to conflicts that may arise in the classroom. Parents also need to intervene because if the household's understanding and communication may avoid this kind of problems.

Water and Soil Pollution The main effect that causes global warming is the greenhouse effect; a phenomenon referred to absorption by certain atmospheric gases, mainly H2O, CO2 and O3 followed by the part of the soil emits energy as a result of being heated by solar radiation. Without this natural greenhouse effect, temperatures would drop by about 30 ° C, with such a change, the oceans would freeze and life as we know it would be impossible. For this effect to occur, are needed these greenhouse gases, but in suitable proportions. What worries climatologists are that a rise in this ratio will produce an increase in temperature due to heat trapped in the lower atmosphere. Solutions The solution is that we can stop the worst impacts of global warming if we can get more efficient factories, households and offices to reduce energy waste which are produced more cars gas mileage and using cleaner technologies. But you need to take action now and acted in a manner determined to avoid serious consequences. Each year that passes without the global warming problem facing a decidedly makes this problem more difficult and more expensive to solve. If we do not find a solution within the next 10 years could be too late.

  • 42. 42 SUN SAFETY FOR KIDS Sun-protective Hats and Clothing Heads up! Wearing a sun-protective hat is a simple and effective strategy for reducing ultraviolet radiation to the face, head and neck. If children could become accustomed to wearing a hat when outdoors at school it should increase the likelihood that they will routinely wear one for non-school outdoor activities as well. But, the fear of ridicule from one’s peers can certainly be a strong deterrent. Without a school policy to encourage, require, or reward, students for wearing a sun-protective hat, it is somewhat unlikely that children will allow themselves to benefit from using this practical and inexpensive cancer- prevention device. History of Hats in Schools Most schools have, or had, a policy to prohibit children from wearing a hat at school. Concerns about hats being used as a sign of gang identification are most frequently cited as the reason behind such policy. After learning that some California schools would not even allow a hat to be worn by a child with a strong genetic susceptibility to skin cancer and a doctor’s note, Mrs. Karen Graham took action. Following the death of her son at an early age from melanoma, Mrs. Graham initiated legislation that resulted in an amendment to the California Education Code as follows: Each school site shall allow for outdoor use during the school day, articles of sun-protective clothing, including, but not limited to, hats. (2) Each school site may set a policy related to the type of sun-protective clothing, including, but not limited to, hats, that pupils will be allowed to use outdoors pursuant to paragraph (1). Specific clothing and hats determined by the school district or school site to be gang-related or inappropriate apparel may be prohibited by the dress code policy. Communication Gap Many California parents and students remain unaware that children now have the right to wear a hat outdoors at school. Although some schools and districts have amended their policy or dress code to remove the prohibition against hats, few have taken the important additional step of encouraging sun-protective hats and clothing. In effect, there is room for improvement in most schools.
  • 43. 43 Promoting Hats and Long Clothing By implementing policies and incentives aimed at encouraging the use of sun- protective hats and clothing, schools have the no-cost opportunity to reduce the risk of skin cancer among the students and staff. Many schools already sell articles of attire, such as T-shirts. Why not encourage sun safety by adding sun-protective items? A hat sporting the school name or mascot could not only promote school pride but also bring in additional revenue. What Type of Hat Shall be Allowed? While California law gives students the right to wear a hat outdoors at school, schools retain the discretion to determine the type of hat. Whatever policy the school adopts, the goal should be the wearing of a hat by most or all students and personnel. Police Options:  Students may procure/wear any hat or visor that provides reasonable sun protection.  Hats meeting certain design criteria (as defined by the school or district) are allowed.  Certain types of hat (definition supplied) are not allowed.  Only specific hat(s), that the school or district provides for sale or to be ordered, are allowed. Primary School Young children will likely wear whatever that is recommended. Primary schools could provide a helpful service by educating parents about the features to look for in a sun-protective hat and/or offering proper hats for sale or to be ordered. Policy might be implemented to more strongly encourage, or possibly require, hat-wearing for outdoor activities at this level. As these children proceed into secondary school, they might be less likely to object to hats. Secondary School Teenagers are notoriously fashion conscious. For any success with a campaign to encourage hat-wearing in secondary school it might be necessary to allow students considerable flexibility in their choice of a hat. Although baseball caps are not ideal, one school of thought among sun safety advocates is that “Any hat is better than no hat.” For students who object to a hat that disturbs their coiffure, a large clip-on visor could be a satisfactory compromise.
  • 44. 44 Most school or physical education uniforms are not particularly stylish but they are worn because it’s the rule. If only one or a limited number of hats is allowed (equalizing the fashion disadvantage to every student), and if effective incentives are provided for wearing the hat, reasonable success might be achievable. However, there is a significant risk of total failure with this approach. The chance of success might be improved if students are invited to participate in determining what type of hat(s), or what specific hat(s), will or will not be allowed. Securing the cooperation of school leaders, trend-setters, and teachers in wearing and promoting the hats might help to establish their acceptability. It may also be advisable to develop a strategy for discouraging and punishing harassment of a child who does wear a hat or long clothing. Clothing California has granted its school children the right to wear long clothing for outdoor activities while at school. Schools can now help to prevent skin cancer by promoting long clothing. Primary School Parents of young children should be asked to provide a long sleeved garment for their child to bring to school and slip on (unless already wearing long sleeves) before outdoor activities. This could be called a “play shirt.” To prevent overheating on a warm day, it should be lightweight and loose fitting. Schools may re-think their dress policy about shorts in light of the increased exposure to UV radiation that they permit. It might be a hard sell to students and parents alike, but loose fitting, lightweight long pants or dresses can be just as cool and comfortable during warm weather. Secondary School The traditional physical education uniform consists of a T-shirt and short shorts. To promote sun safety, schools could re-configure the P.E. uniform to incorporate longer sleeves and shorts, and a sun-protective hat, for the benefit of all students. Rather than merely recommending sweatshirts and sweatpants, choose cover-up clothing that is lightweight and loose fitting to prevent overheating. Lives can be saved With numerous research studies clearly linking childhood sun damage to the later development of skin cancer, a passive allowance of hats and long clothing is not sufficient. With virtually no impact on the budget, schools can actively encourage sun-safe behavior so that fewer of today’s children will have to face the morbidity or mortality of melanoma as adults.
  • 45. 45 SUN-PROTECTIVE CLOTHING California Education Code A sun-protective clothing policy should address two important goals: 1. Encouraging students and personnel to cover up when outdoors 2. Specifying the type of sun-protective clothing that is, or is not, allowed Why can't Everyone Just Use Sunscreen? It is very fortunate that sunscreen products are available for use as a second line of defense. However, sunscreens sometimes fail, usually attributable to user error, which can result in unintentional sun damage. By contrast, clothing is:  Cost effective. A garment costs about the same as one or two bottles of sunscreen, but lasts much longer  On average, a more effective UV blocker. Less prone to “missed spots” or “under application”  Dependable. Doesn’t wash off, rub off, dissipate, penetrate, or expire  Not messy. Spillproof  Not an irritant. Doesn’t cause eye irritation or acne  Quicker to apply. Covers large areas in a hurry The "Play Shirt" When the children in an elementary class prepare to go outside for physical activity, the time savings and tidiness that clothing affords will prove to be a great advantage over total reliance on sunscreen. The parents of young children should be asked to provide a “play shirt,” with long sleeves and a collar that can be kept in the child’s backpack or stashed at school. To avoid the time and mess of applying sunscreen to the neck, shoulders, upper back, and arms, children can simply slip on their play shirt, right over whatever they are already wearing, before going outdoors. (It would not need to be buttoned down the front when worn over a tee shirt.) Children can remove the play shirt when they return indoors. If the shirt is lightweight and well ventilated, it should not cause overheating. However, during extremely warm weather, sunscreen could be used instead. By wearing a hat and covering the arms and legs with clothing, sunscreen need only be applied to the lower face, neck, and backs of the hands. What a great savings in both time and cost! Legs As outlined above, compared to sunscreen, long pants and skirts would reduce cost, time, and messiness in protecting the leg skin from UV damage.
  • 46. 46 Physical Education Without a sun-protective clothing policy, a dispute might arise between teacher and student if a child should independently choose to wear long clothing, as opposed to the standard uniform, for a physical education class in California. The California Ed. Code states: “Each school site may set a policy related to the type of sun-protective clothing, including, but not limited to, hats, that pupils will be allowed to use outdoors...” To help in the prevention of skin cancer, and to prevent student-teacher misunderstanding, here are some steps secondary schools can take:  Review the current physical education uniform for its sun protection capacity  Re-define the P.E. uniform to incorporate items that cover more skin  Consider adding hats (such as legionnaire-style caps) to the uniform  Recommend that uniform items be made of fabric that has a UPF (Ultraviolet Protection Factor) of at least 15  Define allowed alternatives to the standard P.E. uniform for students who choose to cover more skin than the amount covered by the standard uniform  Communicate your clothing and hats policy to students, parents, and teachers  Develop strategies to actively encourage students to cover up and wear a hat for all outdoor activities including, but not limited to, physical education class SUNSCREEN To complement more reliable methods of reducing skin exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation (such as sun avoidance, clothing, and hats) sunscreen can be very useful. However, limitations to the effectiveness of sunscreen include the following common user errors:  Failure to apply enough  Uneven application / mis sed spots  Failure to re-apply Because some amount of UV radiation might pass by the sunscreen, unintentional sunburn can occur. Think of these products as a back-up to other, more effective, and sun safety strategies.
  • 47. 47 UVA UVB The sun emits a broad spectrum of radiation that includes harmless visible light as well as ultraviolet radiation. The bands of wavelengths that damage human skin are categorized as UVA and UVB. UVB rays are the main cause of the skin turning red, or exhibiting sunburn. They can fracture the DNA in skin cells, resulting in mutations. UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and are the main cause of wrinkling, and discoloration. They cause the formation of damaging atoms called free radicals, and can inhibit the immune system from doing its job to prevent cancer. It is important to protect the skin from both UVA and UVB. Broad Spectrum Sunscreen If, and only if a sunscreen effectively filters out UVA rays as well as UVB rays (which is highly desirable) it may be labeled "Broad Spectrum." When shopping for sunscreen, always look for a product labeled "Broad Spectrum SPF" rather than simply "SPF." Certain antioxidants can augment the broad spectrum protection. Look for a mention of antioxidants on the product label but unfortunately there is not yet any rating system to help you compare antioxidant effectiveness between products. Dosage Probably the greatest drawback with sunscreen is that most people do not apply a sufficient dose. The SPF number is determined by the manufacturer using a “standard” application amount (required by the FDA) of 2 milligrams of product per square centimeter of skin. For the average adult in a bathing suit this would be a little more than one ounce, or approximately a shot glass full. (That’s one quarter of the typical 4 oz. sunscreen bottle.) When a person applies less than the “standard” amount, only a fraction of the labeled SPF will be achieved. Studies have shown that the average person applies less than half the “standard” amount of sunscreen, which results in an SPF of only about one third of that labeled on the bottle. Sprays on sunscreens are particularly subject to under dosing. By contrast, if more than the “standard” amount is applied, the SPF achieved will exceed that labeled on the bottle. UV causes some sunscreen ingredients to gradually deteriorate on the skin’s surface in response to sun exposure. Sunscreen can also dissipate due to sweating, rubbing, and penetration into the skin. To maintain maximum effect, sunscreen should be re-applied every two hours. A single application before coming to school cannot be expected to adequately protect a child for afternoon physical education. These products must be applied liberally and, as with paint, two coats are better than one. Thus, Sun Safety for Kids coined the phrase: “Put on a lot. And don’t miss a spot!”
  • 48. 48 A History of Prohibition Because sunscreens are regulated by the FDA as over the counter drugs, many California schools either refrained from encouraging their use or prohibited them under a “zero tolerance for drugs” policy. To overcome this hurdle, in 2002 the California state government amended the Education Code as follows: (1) Each school site shall allow pupils the use of sunscreen during the school day without a physician's note or prescription. (2) Each school site may set a policy related to the use of sunscreen by pupils during the school day. (3) For purposes of this subdivision, sunscreen is not an over-the-counter medication. (4) Nothing in this subdivision requires school personnel to assist pupils in applying sunscreen. Using sunscreen at school Schools should actively encourage sunscreen use as a supplement to other sun safety strategies such as hats, long clothing, sun avoidance, etc. Parents should be asked to ensure that their child has a sufficient supply for use at school. Reminders from the teacher, as well as announcements, posters, etc. will help to increase compliance. Adopt a plan to accommodate children who forget or run out of sunscreen. Product can be sold in the student store and a supply can be stocked in the nurse’s office. If funding allows, a large pump bottle can be supplied in primary school classrooms, and in the gym at secondary schools. (A P.E. uniform with longer sleeves and pants will lessen the amount of sunscreen necessary.) Although teachers in Australia commonly assist young children in applying their sunscreen when necessary, American teachers tend to be fearful of touching a student. Nonetheless primary teachers can be a tremendous help by demonstrating application technique on themselves and by providing appropriate supervision and reminders, focusing most closely on students who have the most lightly pigmented skin. Risk reduction When it’s suggested that U.S. schools could follow the Australian example of providing a supply of sunscreen in classrooms, administrators commonly raise an unfounded concern that some child might be allergic. Fortunately, allergic reaction to sunscreen is very uncommon and, if one does occur, it is generally a minor reversible skin rash.
  • 49. 49 This is in sharp contrast to the potentially serious type of allergy that can occur in reaction to certain foods, such as shellfish or peanuts. Any concerns about possible misuse or allergy to sunscreen should be on a par with those regarding other skin products already found at school, such as the hand soap supplied in the restroom. A simple and appropriate risk reduction strategy would be to inform parents of the availability of sunscreen at the school. If the parent objects to the school’s sunscreen, they should be advised to counsel their child not to use it. Summary Due to UV, the outdoors during daylight is akin to a radiation chamber. To help protect children from sustaining damage on the playground, schools can and should strongly promote the use of sunscreen as a supplement to other sun protection methods. SHADE / UV INDEX “We can’t afford shade structures, so the subject of sun safety will not be considered,” declared one school administrator. Although shade structures may indeed require acquisition funding there are numerous steps a school can take to reduce children’s exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation with little or no financial impact. Avoid Unintentional Sun Exposure Begin with a survey of your school site(s) to identify existing areas that are shaded. Children should not be required to spend time in direct midday sunlight if a shade alternative is at hand. For example, sometimes children are ushered into the middle of a field for a prolonged period of time during a disaster drill, or are required to sit at a lunch table that is not shaded. Establish procedures to shift activity and congregation into shaded or indoor areas when feasible. When there is no reasonable alternative, compensate by encouraging or providing other sun-protective items, such as hats, long clothing, umbrellas, and sunscreen. Track the UV Index The level of ultraviolet radiation striking your school varies with the altitude, season, time of day, and weather conditions. Levels are greater from March to November and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during daylight saving time. These are the periods when sun safety should be most strongly promoted. The Ultraviolet Index is calculated daily to forecast the strength of ultraviolet radiation across the nation. You can determine the UV Index for your area by logging on to the EPA website at www.epa.gov/sunwise. Click on “UV Index Forecast,” and search by entering your zip code.
  • 50. 50 Kickoff your sun safety program each year during the first week of March, on the first day of spring, or during Wellness Week with announcements, reminders, instruction, etc. Between March and November (or year-round in high UV areas) heighten awareness by tracking and communicating the UV Index to the school community, accompanied by appropriate warnings and sun safety tips when the level is high. Shade Trees Trees can not only provide shade for outdoor activities, they can also help to keep school buildings cooler, reducing air conditioning costs. Look for sites on the campus that could benefit from tree shade. Mr. Frank McDonough, horticulturist at the Los Angeles Arboretum, has provided his recommendations for the best shade trees for use on Southern California campuses. See his list on our trees. Through their "Campus Forestry" program, Tree People (a California nonprofit) assists schools to design and develop a tree-planting program involving the participation of students, staff, and parents. Visit their website at http://www.treepeople.org/ Scheduling of Outdoor Activities There usually aren’t sufficient resources for making substantial changes, but try to take advantage of lower UV levels before 10:00 a.m. and after 4:00 p.m. by prioritizing outdoor activities during those periods. Between 10 and 4, which is of course most of the school day, don’t discourage outdoor physical activity but, particularly during the high UV season, strongly promote sun safety measures to “Block the sun; Not the fun.” In areas of the country where winters are cold, there is usually a gymnasium, even at elementary schools, to provide children with a protected environment for physical activity. During sunny weather, capitalize on a gym’s capacity to protect against UV radiation as well. Architecture The area adjacent to a building can sometimes be a good source of shade. Locate and encourage the utilization of such existing areas. Any plans for new construction or remodeling should include shade provision as an important and desirable feature. Factors such as height, positioning of the building(s) on the lot, overhangs, and breezeways can significantly increase shade availability.
  • 51. 51 Shade Structures The lunch area and the young children’s play equipment are two sites commonly found on school campuses where shade is highly desirable. In some cases, a shade structure might be the best solution. Over the lunch area, a steel roofed structure might be the best choice due to the added rain-protective feature. For play equipment and large or irregular shaped areas, a UV-blocking fabric cover would be a logical choice. Of course it wouldn’t be possible or even desirable, to shade the entire school campus. However, reasonable efforts can be made to increase the shade options currently available to the students and staff. When shade structures are desired, check for available grant, state, or local resources, and partner with parent groups to organize a fundraising drive. SUNGLASSES There is evidence to indicate that protecting the eyes from ultraviolet radiation may prevent the development of cataracts. The recent amendments to the California Education Code do not specifically include sunglasses, yet they are an important component of personal sun safety. You’ll put your Eye out, kid! Many schools discourage or do not allow students to wear sunglasses. Administrators have voiced a variety of negative opinions, such as “they might break,” “they might cause an injury,” “kids will lose them.” Yet, many children with vision impairment routinely wear their corrective lenses on the playground so it is difficult to fully justify these reservations. With a health benefit attributable to wearing sunglasses, is it in children’s best interest to prohibit them? Nurture Informed Decision-Making Parents and students can make their own informed decision after weighing the potential benefit against the cost and possible danger associated with wearing sunglasses. Develop a plan to inform parents and students that sunglasses are allowed and, while disclaiming liability, provide tips on sunglasses safety. For example, the lenses should provide 100% protection against UVA and UVB, and a sports band will help to hold them onto the head. CURRICULUM Classroom instruction is a very important component of a school sun safety program. A single intervention, such as a one-time school assembly, can be impressive but for maximum effectiveness children should receive age- appropriate sun safety instruction at every grade level. Fortunately, excellent educational materials already exist which have been designed for use by classroom teachers in existing school programs.
  • 52. 52 Primary School Young children will benefit from learning how the sun’s invisible UV rays can damage the skin. They can be taught the basic skills for personal sun safety, and can be motivated to protect against overexposure. Secondary School Teenage students will learn about skin cancer, what causes it, and how it can be prevented. The glamour of sun tanning can be debunked by demonstrating the very ugly effects of chronic overexposure. School Policy Reinforcement Classroom sun safety education can include a review of the school’s sun safety policies and recommendations. Discussion might center on whether the students could do a better job of protecting themselves. Resources fortunately, excellent instructional materials already exist, designed specifically for use by classroom teachers. Check our [link: Resources - Curriculum page] for a list and description of available products. Ideas for Secondary School Projects Involving Sun Safety One of the best ways to learn a subject is to teach it. Here are a few ideas for projects that could be undertaken by secondary school students with the objective of teaching or promoting sun safety to others: PERSONNEL Those who supervise outdoor activities, teach physical education, or provide grounds keeping services exemplify school employees who spend a significant portion of their time working outdoors. Risk Reduction In California, an employee injury that arises out of and in the course of employment is generally compensable through the workers' compensation system. With respect to skin cancer, California [Labor Code Section 3212.11] specifies that if a lifeguard develops skin cancer during the course of employment it will be considered work-related. Compared to a lifeguard, who might not develop skin cancer until sometime after leaving the job, it is more likely that a school employee will develop skin cancer while still employed in outdoor work. Schools might wish to consider whether this poses a risk management issue.
  • 53. 53 Good Policy All school personnel should be aware of the dangers associated with overexposure to ultraviolet radiation and be well acquainted with methods of sun protection. The Director of Nursing Services might conduct in-service training, issue periodic reminders and sun safety tips, and of course serve as a model of sun-safe behavior. While there may be a financial constraint against requiring (as opposed to encouraging) that students wear a hat when outdoors, it might be reasonable to require, or at least strongly encourage, that personnel take certain sun precautions, such as wearing a hat. By demonstrating their personal concern for sun safety, for example by putting on a hat, long clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen before going outdoors, staff members can play an important role in conveying the school’s serious commitment to sun safety for the students. COMMUNICATION Breaking News! Some school districts have already responded to the California law pertaining to sun protection. Unfortunately, some of these same districts have neglected to effectively communicate or encourage the implementation of their new policy to the school community. UV radiation is a significant health hazard that is encountered at school, at school-sponsored activities, and elsewhere. We hope that schools will not only adopt a comprehensive sun safety policy but also go the distance to ensure that the policy is effectively disseminated to parents, students, and personnel. Parents Provide parents with background information that outlines why sun safety is so important in the fight against skin cancer. Explain the details of the school’s policy and urge parents to partner with the school to encourage student sun- safe behavior both at school and at home. Remind parents to “walk the walk” themselves. Convey messages in multiple media, such as letters, E-mail, the school website, and parent-teacher meetings. Ensure that when parents search for details pertaining to the school’s sun safety policy, such as what type of hat is allowed, it will be relatively easy to find.
  • 54. 54 Students Sun safety policy and recommendations should be reviewed at the beginning of each school year and again during the first week of March. This might be combined with sun safety instruction and, in elementary school, a screening of The Sun Show. Keep sun safety on students’ radar through announcements and reminders tied to the UV index, sun safety tips, posters, items for sale (school hat, sunscreen, play shirt, etc.), and of course seeing teachers who model sun-safe behavior. Send students off for spring and summer vacation with the reminder to: “Stay sun-safe!” Teachers Teachers might need to be informed of certain policies directly affecting them as employees, as well as others pertaining to the student body which they could help to enforce. Pre-service and in-service training should include a policy review along with general sun safety education. In order to increase their level of motivation and willingness to model sun-safe behavior, help teachers understand the stakes. They must know that they and their students can reduce the risk of dying from skin cancer through the practice of sun safety. Ask teachers to devote extra attention to children whose skin cancer risk is higher due to light skin color. VITAMIN D The one health benefit that sunlight has on human skin is the production of vitamin D. unfortunately, the ultraviolet rays that stimulate vitamin D production (UVB rays) are the same ones that cause sunburn and skin cancer. There isn't very much vitamin D in the typical American's diet. Some is present in oily fish (e.g., salmon, mackerel, and sardines) milk, and fortified cereal or orange juice, but dietary sources alone are usually not sufficient for a healthy blood level without the addition of substantial sun exposure or a vitamin supplement. Vitamin D deficiency can cause rickets in children, and osteoporosis in adults. An increased risk of other ills, such as cancer of the colon, breast, or prostate, as well as multiple sclerosis and type 1 diabetes might be linked to vitamin D deficiency. More research is needed before all of these associations can be considered certain but in the meantime it seems reasonable for everyone to take prudent measures to maintain an adequate blood level of vitamin D. During summer months, particularly in the southern latitudes, some individuals acquire enough sun exposure to achieve an adequate vitamin D level. However, while sun exposure is an effective source of vitamin D, it can simultaneously increase the risk of skin cancer. When sunscreen is applied to the skin, it not only reduces sun damage, but unfortunately it also blocks vitamin D production.
  • 55. 55 Darkly pigmented skin, advanced age, and low UV index (e.g., winter months in northern latitudes) are some of the factors that decrease the amount of vitamin D produced by the skin in response to sun exposure. Because of the dual impact of the sun's UV rays (skin cancer induction and vitamin D production) those with the lightest skin pigment are at the highest risk of sun damage resulting in skin cancer, while people with darker skin pigment are at lower risk of skin cancer but higher risk for vitamin D deficiency. Some authorities recommend routine limited or "sensible" sun exposure for vitamin D. However, too many variables affect the amount of exposure time needed (e.g., season, time of day, weather conditions, skin color, age) making it impossible to give a simple recommendation such as "[X] minutes of sun per day" that would be assured to provide sufficient vitamin D for all people. This introduces the risk that people will unintentionally over-expose (fall asleep while sunning) and increase their risk of skin cancer in the process. Sun Safety for Kids agrees with the American Academy of Dermatology which "does not recommend getting vitamin D from sun exposure (natural) or indoor tanning (artificial) because ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun and tanning beds can lead to the development of skin cancer1 .” The amount of Vitamin D in food or in a supplement is commonly listed in International Units (IU). Evidence is still emerging to determine the ideal safe and effective amount of vitamin D that average healthy people should ingest. At present, the National Institutes of Health2 recommends an intake of 600 IU per day for Americans 1 to 70 years of age. Some experts recommend a higher intake, in the range of 1,000 - 2,000 IU/day but the NIH warns that intakes in excess of 4,000 IU/day might lead to vitamin D toxicity. The NIH also discourages intentional sun exposure as a source of vitamin D, saying "it is prudent to limit exposure of skin to sunlight." Because vitamin D is fat soluble, vitamin D supplements are most effective if taken with food. The directors of Sun Safety for Kids believe that optimum health will be achieved if people practice careful sun protection year round and compensate by ingesting a sufficient daily amount of vitamin D. Blood Test A simple blood test called "25-hydroxy vitamin D" measures circulating vitamin D and provides a fair assessment of the body's vitamin D status. The NIH recommends that the level should be 21 ng/ml or higher, but some experts suggest that blood levels in the range of 30 to 50 ng/ml are preferred. There is no evidence that levels above 50 provide any added benefit and vitamin D toxicity becomes a concern with higher levels. Levels tend to fluctuate with the seasons (lower in winter/higher in summer) due to incidental sun exposure. A doctor might order the blood test to help in determining the amount of vitamin D supplementation that will provide optimum vitamin D status year round.

  • 68. 68 A PROS AND CONS ESSAY Introduction: Can you imagine yourself having a wild animal as a pet? It sounds exciting, but is it right to have one at home? Main body: There are certain advantages to having wild animals as pets. First, it is a good way to learn about them, because they show their qualities, characteristics which we can capitalize on the relearning of skills. Second, you help protect their species, because we can offer them a safe place to live and eat. On the other hand, there are certain drawbacks to having wild animals as pets. First of all owners don’t know how to take care of them because they are very difficult to control animals and eat a lot. Also, they can be dangerous, because they could devour people and animals. Conclusion: To sum up, wild animals should be in their natural habitat, where they have ample space and enjoy freedom. I believe having them as pets would not be right for the dangers it represents.

The producers are represented by plants and algae, which have the power to transform the energy of sunlight into chemical energy. All animals depend directly or indirectly community of producers, demonstrating that without green plants is impossible life on our planet. CONSUMERS The power of consumers is from producers or other consumers. Within this group there are a lot of species, from the smallest to the largest predators. Animals that eat plant organisms (cow, horse, lobster, and giraffe) are primary consumers (or first order). The animals that eat primary consumers (fox, frog, tiger, and eagle) are secondary consumers (or second order). Every living organism is a link in the chain. Typically, each chain having from two to five or six membered. DECOMPOSERS The decomposers are responsible for disintegration of the dead bodies of plants and animals. In addition, other power supply of these organisms are animal droppings, hair and wool that mammals lose, leaves and fruits of the trees that fall to the ground, etc.. Bacteria and fungi are the main living organisms that are responsible for transforming the organic matter of dead organisms into inorganic substances or minerals, to make them available to the plants. IMPORTANCE OF THE FOOD CHAIN They are important as they maintain a balance in the environment and also because from all the members of this takes place the transformation of energy, on the other hand all living things are part of the food chain, consumers still plants primary, the secondary herbivores and predators including man is the tertiary.
