Why the next pandemic could come from the Arctic — and what to do about it - Published Sept 4, 2024

By: Christian Sonne

Only a unified approach across disciplines can reduce the underappreciated threat of emerging diseases arising in the north.

The Arctic is under stress, that much is known. Between 1979 and 2021, the region warmed four times faster than the global average, with effects — as yet poorly understood — on its ecology and ability to store carbon, on global sea levels and on wider ocean-circulation and weather patterns.

Add in the effects of biodiversity loss and pollution, and people often refer to a triple planetary crisis. I think we should actually be talking about a quadruple crisis. Since starting research in the Arctic in 1997, I have spent nearly all of my summers there, monitoring changes in pollution levels, habitats and food webs using a ‘One Health’ approach that integrates effects on wildlife, humans and ecosystems. And it’s becoming clear that, as the Arctic warms, its environment degrades and human activities increase, new health threats are emerging. In particular, the Arctic is likely to become a hotbed for zoonotic diseases that spill over into humans from other animals. That threat was brought home to all of us by the COVID-19 pandemic. We need to take seriously the possibility that the next pandemic could come from the north.

Some 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. Their emergence and spillover is in general highly interlinked with habitat degradation, biodiversity loss and food-web changes — all of which are present in the Arctic. But a warming Arctic harbours other risks. As sea ice thaws, ‘forever chemicals’ are increasingly being transported into Arctic environments. These include mercury, per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances and polychlorinated biphenyls, all known to modulate human and animal immune systems and increase vulnerability to respiratory infections. Invasive fish and whale species are also bringing in industrial chemicals and their own diseases.

The pathogens enter an environment in which some native species, such as polar bears (Ursus maritimus), have not been exposed to them, and so are at increased risk. The release of ancient microorganisms long frozen in ice and sediments as the landscape thaws adds to this danger: humans and other wildlife are likely to lack any immune defences against them.

These risk factors are set to increase. The first ice-free Arctic summers could come as early as the 2030s. The Arctic Ocean has huge potential for energy, fishery and tourism sectors, and is not subject to any global treaty regulating its exploitation. Further wildlife disturbance, pollution, overfishing and jurisdictional conflicts are the likely result.

The current perception is that the Arctic possesses relatively low microbial activity. Compared with temperate and tropical latitudes, many fewer resources are devoted to studying zoonoses in the Arctic, with sparse surveillance for emerging threats in most areas. This needs to change — taking account of human, animal and wider environmental perspectives.

When it comes to logistics, low-tech is high-tech in the Arctic. On the human side, Canadian researchers have already started taking samples from sewage and other sources that can easily be analysed for the presence of viral pathogens. This kind of approach should be combined with better access to community health care, clinical inspections and consultations with local doctors. A particular flash point is the handling and consumption of raw or dried animal meat in subsistence-hunting communities. Hygiene courses, meat inspection and better disease surveillance developed in partnership with those communities can help to both sustain food security and prevent spillover events.

On the wildlife side, long-term finance is needed for yearly and seasonal surveillance programmes. These schemes should collaborate with local communities using existing techniques that don’t rely on technologies such as cryogenics and so are easy to use in situ. Such activities could be embedded into the ongoing Arctic Council monitoring and assessment programmes on pollution, biodiversity and climate change, as laid out in the council’s ‘One Arctic, One Health’ project.

On the broader environmental front, efforts to reduce pollution, safeguard biodiversity and reduce greenhouse-gas emissions through international agreements play their part. Efforts spearheaded by various Arctic Council working groups, and other initiatives such as the ongoing negotiations for a United Nations-backed treaty on plastic pollution, show how intergovernmental and interdisciplinary collaboration across public health, biodiversity conservation, pollution and food security can help with achieving sustainability.

To make a true difference, there is need for a broader Arctic monitoring and assessment plan, underpinned by treaty, that combines surveillance of pollution and of disease. This is currently difficult to achieve through the Arctic Council, given the absence of Russia and Russian data since the country’s invasion of Ukraine in 2022. A better opportunity to establish a holistic understanding and action plan might be afforded by the proposed pandemic-preparedness treaty, currently under negotiation at the World Health Organization. This could build on the efforts of almost 200 globally recognized One Health Networks, including those in the Arctic.

Action must be taken now. If it isn’t, it will become more difficult to mitigate wildlife interactions and diagnose, treat and isolate people with an infection — and the risk of a future pandemic with an Arctic ground zero will only increase.

Hi ! I just had my first eval at a consulting firm ! I have one year of college left and I landed an internship at a healthcare consulting firm in NYC! I have struggled immensely as I did not feel very qualified. My evaluation results were less tha satisfactory ! I had really nice supervisors, but from the evaluation question of would they hire me they answered no due to my writing skills not adhering to their standards and more importantly my speed! They wanted a really quick turn around on deliverables like an hour and most projects took me like 4 I guess o never got the hang of it! This ain’t the industry I want to work directly in, but I guess I feel really sad that I don’t do well. Also they stated I was overly shy even though I was a team player!

I just wanted to get your advice on this ?

Learn from this.

Stop getting defensive. If your work was slower than expected and they said you were shy, that’s their perspective and they have a right to have an opinion.

improve your writing skills. Ask them for specific things that could have been better. If they felt you were shy, ask them why so and what they expect. Accept their opinion. Work on these things rather than getting upset over it. Speak to the people who got hired, learn from them.

Candice Swanepoel: Mindless Supermodel on Tour Annotated [ 1 ]

Originally published November 26th, 2013

Hundreds of young women were gathering at a Victoria's Secret in Pasadena [ 2 ] where Candice Swanepoel was promoting a new lingerie line, Obedience by Victoria [ 3 ]. Many only showed up to get an autograph and a picture with the supermodel, but a select few were chosen to join Candice in a private meeting after the event [ 4 ].

Once the fifteen chosen girls followed Candice into the room, each one received their very own Obedience bra which Candice ordered them to put on [ 5 ]. When all of the girls had returned from the fitting rooms, they found that Candice had stripped down into her underwear and was waiting to greet them in her own pair of Obedience by Victoria lingerie. Then she began her demonstration. The girls listened intently to Candice's every word as she went over the usual stuff: how the bra gave enough lift to create the illusion of larger breasts, but didn't sacrifice the comfort that every bra needs [ 6 ]. How all the designs, for example her's with black and white polka-dots [ 7 ], were cute and flirty but sexy and mature all at once. And how the bra kept a woman mindless, blank, submissive [ 8 ].

"Each bra comes with its own unique identification card [ 9 ]," Candice spoke promptly, professionally, as if she were reading from a script [ 10 ]. "And the holder of that id card controls the wearer of the bra. As long as I'm wearing Obedience by Victoria, I have no control of my own. However, since I have your cards, I do have control over all of you. Does that make sense? [ 11 ]"

"Yes, Mistress Candice," the girls replied [ 12 ].

"Good," Candice smiled as she looked upon an audience of blank faces. "The bra was assembled in America with materials produced in Pakistan [ 13 ]. Utilizing research that is only legal in Yugoslavia [ 14 ], Victoria's Secret has created a bra that is truly a first of its kind, and a look into the future of the industry. Please refrain from wearing Obedience by Victoria for more than four hours; prolonged use may cause memory loss, catatonia, loss of motor control, and irregular increase in sex drive. If you experience any of these symptoms, remove the bra immediately and consult a physician for you could be experiencing early signs of mind control poisoning. Ask your doctor before use [ 15 ].

"Now, my girls, [ 16 ]" Candice took a breath.

"Yes, Mistress Candice?"

"You're all going to go home, and you're going to find another girl. It could be your sister, your friend, your mother, your cousin, it doesn't matter. You're going to find another girl and you're going to make sure she gets a bra just like yours [ 17 ]."

"Yes, Mistress Candice. We will obey."

"Good. We want every woman in America to experience Obedience by Victoria with us."

"Yes, Mistress Candice. They will submit."

Mindless, the women left the mall and headed home, all thinking about their mission [ 18 ].

Candice boarded the fastest plane out of LA, en route to Milwaukee [ 19 ] where the next Victoria's Secret on the tour was located. On the plane she received a call. "Yes," she spoke quietly into the receiver. "I fitted them all with the bras...Yes, the effect was instantaneous...Of course I'm still wearing mine...Yes, I do nothing but think of you when I'm wearing it...Yes, I will do anything...Yes...Anything for you, Master. [ 20 ]"

[ 1 ]. Mindless Supermodel Model on Tour created a lot of problems for me. It was originally meant to be a series of shorts where we see Candice in different little mind control vignettes, but the idea of a mind controlling lingerie brand was too broad to just bury in a random one shot, so I kept writing about it. I pretty quickly moved to writing fictional characters after this short, but Obedience by Victoria remained an important bit of lore for several years until I just said fuck it and swapped out Victoria's Secret for Fleur-de-lis, creating ersatz versions of the Victoria's Secret models that I'd previously written about. You can read a much, much better version of this story here as Obedience By Fleur #1.

[ 2 ]. Before Romero, I liked to set these stories in completely random cities that I've never been to.

[ 3 ]. Fun with brand name parodies. I thought Obedience By Victoria was so clever for some reason.

[ 4 ]. In my "just writing a quick caption to establish context for the manip" era, these stories start so abruptly. It feels really weird to just jump into something without any groundwork.

[ 5 ]. They aren't even mind controlled yet lmao

[ 6 ]. Incredibly painful to read a 19 year old kid write about women's underwear like he knows what he's talking about.

[ 7 ]. I used to go out of my way to place the story in the manip somehow, but this proved incredibly limiting. At some point I stopped letting the manips tell the stories and today I rarely reference imagery from the manips.

[ 8 ]. This is supposed to be a "murder, arson, jaywalking" joke, but the bit doesn't land because I spread it out over three long sentences instead of one list.

[ 9 ]. Huh

[ 10 ]. Because she's under mind control, you see. Totally unreasonable to suspect that a person pitching a new product for their company would be reading from a script.

[ 11 ]. Weirdly insecure for a mindless drone.

[ 12 ]. Nitpicking myself here but I don't think "replied" is the word choice I would use for fifteen mind controlled girls speaking in unison today.

[ 13 ]. I wonder if this was researched or if I just picked completely random countries. I'm guessing the latter.

[ 14 ]. Oof, most of the jokes in my early stuff just don't land. I've always been better at the melodrama.

[ 15 ]. Pretty good bit.

[ 16 ]. I would also probably not have her say "my girls" if I were writing this today. Just reads weird to me.

[ 17 ]. Not the first instance of serial recruitment in my writing at this point (the sequel to that Fleur-de-lis chapter that I posted the other night has it), but the first that I like.

[ 18 ]. Are they mindless or are they thinking? Just a weird transition paragraph that exists to remind the reader one more time that there's mind control in this story.

[ 19 ]. What even is this tour? Surely there are Victoria's Secrets between Pasadena and Milwaukee lmao

[ 20 ]. This is a Metal Gear Solid reference and it's fucking stupid

Transitioning to Commercial Loans: Overcoming Common Challenges!

Introduction:

Transitioning from residential mortgage lending to commercial loan brokering is a significant career shift that comes with its own set of challenges. While the skills and knowledge gained in residential lending provide a solid foundation, commercial lending presents unique complexities that require adaptation and growth. This article identifies common challenges faced by residential mortgage officers transitioning to commercial loan brokering and offers strategies to overcome them. 1. Understanding Different Underwriting Criteria:

One of the primary challenges is adjusting to the different underwriting criteria used in commercial lending. Unlike residential loans, which focus heavily on the borrower's personal credit history and income, commercial loans require a detailed analysis of business financials, property income, and market conditions.

Solution: Invest time in learning the key financial metrics and analysis techniques used in commercial underwriting. Enroll in training courses or workshops focused on commercial real estate finance. Building a strong understanding of debt service coverage ratio (DSCR), loan-to-value ratio (LTV), and net operating income (NOI) is essential. 2. Navigating Complex Loan Structures:

Commercial loans often have more complex structures compared to residential loans. They can include variable interest rates, balloon payments, prepayment penalties, and shorter amortization periods.

Solution: Familiarize yourself with the various types of commercial loan products and their features. Work closely with experienced commercial loan brokers or mentors who can guide you through the nuances of different loan structures. Practice analyzing different loan scenarios to build confidence and expertise. 3. Building a New Network:

Transitioning to commercial loan brokering requires establishing relationships with new contacts, including commercial lenders, real estate developers, and investors. This can be daunting for those used to the residential market.

Solution: Leverage existing connections and seek introductions to commercial industry professionals. Attend industry events, join professional associations, and engage in online networking platforms like LinkedIn. Building a robust network is crucial for sourcing deals and gaining market insights. 4. Mastering Property and Market Analysis:

Commercial real estate properties and markets behave differently than residential properties. Understanding market trends, property valuations, and investment potential is crucial for success in commercial loan brokering.

Solution: Stay updated on commercial real estate market trends and property analysis techniques. Subscribe to industry publications, attend market seminars, and participate in continuing education courses. Developing a keen understanding of different property types and their performance drivers will enhance your advisory capabilities. 5. Adapting Sales and Marketing Strategies:

The sales and marketing strategies used in residential lending may not directly translate to the commercial sector. Commercial clients often require a more consultative approach and tailored solutions.

Solution: Refine your sales and marketing strategies to align with the needs of commercial clients. Focus on providing value through in-depth market insights, customized financing solutions, and strategic advisory services. Developing a strong personal brand as a knowledgeable and reliable commercial loan broker will help attract quality clients. 6. Handling Larger Transactions and Higher Stakes:

Commercial loan transactions are typically larger and more complex than residential loans, involving higher stakes for both the broker and the client.

Solution: Approach each transaction with meticulous attention to detail and thorough due diligence. Collaborate with a team of professionals, including attorneys, appraisers, and accountants, to ensure all aspects of the deal are carefully evaluated. Building a reputation for precision and reliability will help you gain trust in the commercial sector.

Conclusion:

Transitioning from residential mortgage lending to commercial loan brokering involves overcoming several challenges, from understanding different underwriting criteria to mastering complex loan structures and building a new network. By investing in education, leveraging existing connections, and adapting your approach to meet the demands of the commercial market, you can successfully navigate this transition and thrive in the commercial lending space. Embrace the learning curve, seek mentorship, and continuously expand your knowledge to establish yourself as a competent and trusted commercial loan broker.

PRA Health Sciences CLINICAL DEVELOPMENT RE-IMAGINED

With a mission dedicated to redefining the future of clinical development, PRA Health Sciences is leading the way in transforming and disrupting both clinical development and healthcare delivery. They recognize that the drug development industry is at cross-roads and that innovative approaches are needed to bring new therapies to more patients more efficiently and cost effectively.

PRA is a full-service global contract research organization, providing a broad range of product development and data solution services to pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies around the world. PRA’s integrated services include data management, statistical analysis, clinical trial management, and regulatory and drug development consulting.

The company has been taking a patientcentered approach and incorporating the patient voice into drug development. “We are engaging patients as consumers and integrating how we connect and deliver clinical trials to patients via the technology they use in their everyday lives, such as mobile smart devices,” says Kent Thoelke, EVP and Chief Scientific Officer at PRA. “We are exploring ways to virtualize trials to make them more accessible, particularly for hard to reach populations such as rare disease patients.” 

In one case study, a renowned pharmaceutical client required a mobile technology solution to collect safety and effectiveness data on a groundbreaking treatment for an ultra-rare disease in a global gene therapy prospective registry. The client needed a multilingual technology platform and the solution would need to evolve with changing mobile devices’ operating systems over the study’s 15-year life cycle to remain updated, functional, and accessible. PRA’s executive medical director worked with the sponsor’s clinical and data management teams to create a flexible mobile platform for patients, parents, and caregivers. Their strategic planning and teamwork resulted in timely delivery of an efficient mobile solution for enrollment, engagement, and electronic data capture (EDC) in a single, user-friendly platform.

By utilizing their virtual and connected e n v i r o n m e n t , access to clinical trials becomes democratized and clinical research as a care option (CRACO) has the opportunity to become a standard option as opposed to an exception. By creating an environment where CRACO is standard, the concept of contract research evolves into a more focused healthcare delivery partnership that is inclusive of clinical trials and clinical research.

RO Repair Service in South Delhi: Your Ultimate Guide to Reliable and Professional Solutions

When it comes to water purification, Reverse Osmosis (RO) systems have become an indispensable part of many households and commercial spaces in South Delhi. With increasing water pollution, ensuring clean drinking water is no longer a luxury but a necessity. However, like any other appliance, your RO system might face issues over time due to wear and tear, improper maintenance, or system malfunctions.

In this comprehensive guide, we will cover everything you need to know about RO repair services in South Delhi. Whether you're dealing with low water pressure, a strange taste, or complete system failure, this blog will help you understand common RO problems, how to troubleshoot them, the importance of professional repair services, and how to choose the best RO repair service in South Delhi.

The Importance of RO Systems in South Delhi

Water Contamination in South Delhi

South Delhi, like many urban areas in India, faces significant challenges related to water contamination. With industrialization and population growth, the sources of freshwater, including rivers and underground reservoirs, are increasingly polluted with chemicals, bacteria, and other harmful substances. As a result, it's crucial to invest in water purification technologies like Reverse Osmosis to ensure that you are drinking water that is safe and free from contaminants.

RO systems use a semi-permeable membrane to filter out impurities, providing high-quality water. However, regular maintenance is required to keep these systems functioning efficiently. Over time, the membranes, filters, and other parts of the RO unit wear out or clog, affecting the quality of water. This is where professional RO repair services come into play.

Common RO Problems and How to Troubleshoot

Before you call for professional help, it's worth knowing the common issues that RO systems face. Here's a quick rundown of typical problems you might encounter:

1. No Water Output

Possible Causes: The most common causes for no water output include clogged filters, a malfunctioning pump, or an issue with the membrane.

Solution: Check the filters and replace them if they're clogged. Ensure the pump is working and the system has adequate water pressure. If there's still no output, the RO membrane might need replacement.

2. Low Water Flow

Possible Causes: Over time, filters and membranes can get clogged with impurities. The tank may also have a buildup of contaminants, reducing the flow rate.

Solution: Clean or replace the filters and membrane. If the tank is full, drain some water to improve the flow.

3. Strange Taste or Odor in Water

Possible Causes: If the water tastes or smells bad, the filters or membrane may be clogged or worn out, allowing contaminants to pass through.

Solution: Replace the filters and membrane. Check the system for any leaks or other issues that might be affecting water quality.

4. Leakage

Possible Causes: Leakage in an RO system can occur due to a loose connection, damaged O-ring, or faulty filter.

Solution: Inspect all connections, tighten any loose fittings, and check for cracks in the filters or O-rings. If needed, replace the damaged parts.

5. Water Discoloration

Possible Causes: Discolored water usually indicates that the filters are no longer effectively removing contaminants.

Solution: Replace the filters and check the membranes for any damage.

6. Excessive Noise

Possible Causes: Unusual sounds could be caused by a malfunctioning pump, air bubbles in the system, or issues with the pressure valve.

Solution: Check the pump and air chambers. If the noise persists, consult a technician.

7. The System is Not Turning On

Possible Causes: This could be due to an electrical issue, a blown fuse, or a malfunctioning power supply.

Solution: Check the power supply and fuse. If there are no issues there, the system’s internal wiring or power circuit might need professional attention.

The Role of Professional RO Repair Services

While some minor issues can be fixed through DIY methods, it’s crucial to rely on professionals for more complex problems. Here are several reasons why professional RO repair services in South Delhi are essential:

1. Expert Diagnosis and Troubleshooting

Professionals have the necessary training and experience to accurately diagnose the root cause of the problem. Rather than making assumptions or guesses, they identify the specific issue and offer effective solutions.

2. Quality Repairs and Replacements

Professional RO technicians have access to high-quality replacement parts that are designed to fit your RO system perfectly. Using substandard or incorrect parts can further damage the system, leading to more expensive repairs.

3. Regular Maintenance

A professional RO repair service doesn't just fix the issue at hand. They also provide maintenance services to ensure your system is running efficiently. They clean filters, check for leaks, and inspect all components, prolonging the life of your RO system.

4. Time and Effort Saving

Repairing an RO system can be time-consuming, especially if you're not familiar with its components. Professional technicians can fix the problem quickly, allowing you to focus on other tasks.

5. Safety

Dealing with water purification systems can be tricky, especially when handling electrical components or high-pressure systems. A professional ensures the job is done safely, reducing the risk of accidents or further damage.

How to Choose the Best RO Repair Service in South Delhi

When it comes to choosing a reliable RO repair service in South Delhi, there are several factors to consider. Below are some tips to help you make an informed decision:

1. Check for Experience and Reputation

Choose a repair service with several years of experience in the field. Look for online reviews and customer feedback to ensure that the service is reputable and reliable.

2. Certifications and Qualifications

A good RO repair service should have certified technicians who are trained and qualified to handle various RO system brands and models. Ask about the qualifications and certifications of their staff.

3. Range of Services

Choose a company that offers a wide range of services, including installation, repair, and maintenance. This way, you can rely on them for any future RO-related needs.

4. Warranty and Guarantee

A reputable service provider should offer warranties on repairs and replacement parts. This gives you peace of mind that the work will be done properly and that you'll be covered if any issues arise post-repair.

5. Affordable Pricing

While quality services often come at a premium, it’s essential to get a fair price for the repair work. Compare prices across different repair services to ensure you're getting a competitive rate without compromising on quality.

6. 24/7 Availability

Water issues can occur at any time, so choose a repair service that offers emergency repairs and 24/7 customer support.

7. Quick Response Time

In emergencies, it's essential to get quick service. Opt for a repair service that offers fast response times to minimize the disruption caused by a faulty RO system.

8. Customer Service

Good customer service is key to a positive repair experience. A reliable company should be responsive, helpful, and polite when you reach out for assistance.

Conclusion

A properly functioning RO system is essential for clean and safe drinking water, especially in urban areas like South Delhi, where water contamination is a significant concern. Regular maintenance and timely repairs are crucial to ensuring your RO system runs smoothly. By understanding common RO problems and knowing when to seek professional help, you can keep your system in top condition.

Professional RO repair services offer expertise, quality repairs, and peace of mind. By choosing the right repair service, you can ensure that your RO system continues to provide safe and clean drinking water for you and your family. Whether it's a simple filter change or a complex system malfunction, a reliable RO service provider in South Delhi will be able to solve the problem efficiently and effectively.

So, don’t wait for a breakdown to disrupt your daily routine. Schedule regular maintenance and always have a trusted repair service on hand to keep your RO system functioning at its best.
