To explain: How the mechanism of action of dioxin explains its variable effects on different body systems and, in different animals.
Introduction:
Agent Orange is an herbicide and consists of trace amount of dioxins. Dioxins are toxic chemicals and enter the body by associating with aryl hydrocarbon receptor. It moves to the nucleus and influences the gene expression. It also enters the food chain. Agent Orange is a defoliant and was used by US military during Vietnam War to remove the forest vegetation cover. As a result of this exposure, the people suffered from various health issues, such as birth defects, physical and mental disability, polydactyly, and so forth.
To explain: How to determine whether a type of illness is caused due to dioxin.

Read one the attached article and explore the Human Development Index (https://hdr.undp.org/data-center/human-development-index#/indicies/HDI). In your opinion, is the Human Development Index a good measure of the well- being of the people of a nation? Are the items measured in the HDI valid and relevant in the modern global economy? How are they related to the political economy of a nation? The attached articles propose some alternative measures of well-being. In your opinion, are there other measures of well-being that might be better alternatives to the items in the current HDI?arrow_forwardA patient visits her doctor with symptoms typical of a bladder infection.
