Chapter 5.1 Flashcards
nature can provide people with a range of _____________ benefits, and can play an important role in addressing some chronic health conditions and reducing the need for pharmaceutical interventions ———-
health and well-being
societal fear and awareness of the negative ___________(some)____________, e.g. attacks on people by wild large carnivores, poisoning by venomous animals, wildlife–vehicle collisions and the risk of vector-borne zoonoses. ———-
consequences of human-nature interactions
there is evidence of a progressive decline in positive human–nature interactions, the so called ‘_____________’, with potentially serious consequences for human health, childhood development and support for biodiversity conservation ———-
extinction of experience (with nature)
using approaches that enable studies at finer spatial and temporal resolutions and over larger areas and longer periods (tracking and sensing devices, GIS, as in environmental monitoring) have greatly improved the ability to describe and quantify an individual person’s interactions with nature. ———-
personalized ecology
What are the dimensions (typology) of human-nature interactions? ———-
immediateness, consciousness, intentionality, degree of human mediation, direction of outcome, interrelations of five
_______ Dynamics (spatial variation of opportunity to interact with nature) ———-
Spatial
_______ Dynamics (temporal variation in occurrence, frequency and composition of human nature interactions) ———-
Temporal
_______ Dynamics (influence of multiple socio-economic factors: growth, urbanization, status) ———-
Socio-economic
is an integrated, unifying approach to balance and optimize the health of people, animals and the environment. ———-
One health
Implementation of safety measures (specific practices, safety equipment and specially designed buildings) to ensure that workers, the community, and the environment are protected from infectious agents and toxins and biological hazards. ———-
Biosafety
Measures employed when handling biohazardous materials to avoid infecting oneself, others or the environment ———-
Biosafety
are diseases appearing in a geographic area or population for the first time or have existed but are rapidly increasing in incidence or geographic range ———-
Emerging Infectious diseases
diseases transmitted from animals to humans through direct contact or through food, water, or the environment. ———-
Zoonotic diseases
measures employed to protect biohazardous materials, or critical relevant information, against theft or diversion by those who intend to pursue intentional misuse ———-
biosecurity
Biosecurity is achieved through? ———-
physical barriers, psychological barriers, monitoring activities, and personnel clearance

risk
_______ is the source or causative agent of a particular risk ———-
hazard or threat
is the thing/entity that can elicit an undesirable outcome ———-
hazard/threat
[1] is for biosafety. [2] is for biosecurity ———-
