The definition of a public health system is contingent on the meaning and scope of public health. In keeping with the Acheson definition of public health, "public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life and promoting health through the organised efforts of society"... This is a very broad definition that emphasises "whole of government" and "whole of society" approaches. It suggests that a public health system is considered as more inclusive than a health system.

OBS

A public health system is primarily intended to protect and improve the health and well-being of the population by implementing programs, services and policies.

OBS

public health system: designation validated by Canadian subject-matter experts from the National Research Council of Canada, and from the Université de Montréal and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal.

[…] s'il y avait eu plus de ressources, on aurait pu en consacrer davantage à la surveillance épidémiologique et à la préparation aux urgences («emergency preparedness»). Un système de santé publique devrait constamment être à l'affût, avec un système d'«intelligence épidémiologique», de l'émergence de menaces à la santé globale.

OBS

Le système de santé publique est l'ensemble des ressources humaines et matérielles qui a pour fonction de donner à la population des soins et des services de santé curatifs et préventifs.

OBS

Un système de santé publique vise principalement à protéger et à améliorer la santé et le bien-être de la population, par l'entremise de la mise en place de programmes, de services et de politiques.

El componente fundamental de los sistemas nacionales de salud es su sistema de vigilancia. Si bien es cierto que el principal objetivo de los sistemas de salud pública es mejorar la salud de las poblaciones a través de la promoción en salud, planes de prevención de enfermedades y cualquier tipo de intervenciones en salud, estas acciones no serían posibles sin un diagnóstico fidedigno de las condiciones, necesidades y expectativas de los usuarios de este sistema.

Undetectable = Untransmittable (U=U) is a message used in HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] campaigns. It means that if someone has an undetectable viral load, they cannot sexually transmit HIV to others. ... U=U is supported by numerous health groups and organisations worldwide, including the World Health Organization (WHO). ... U=U is also used as an HIV prevention strategy: if someone is undetectable, they can not pass it further and hence, prevents the virus from spreading.

OBS

Thanks to the advances in HIV [human immunodeficiency virus] science over the last four decades, people living with HIV who are on medication and maintain an undetectable amount of virus in their blood can lead a long, healthy life without the fear of passing HIV to their sexual partner. This is the powerful message behind "Undetectable=Untransmittable(U=U). "

Boston Brahmins are wealthy Yankee families characterized by a highly discreet and inconspicuous life style. Based in and around Boston, they form an integral part of the historic core of the East Coast establishment. They are associated with the distinctive Boston Brahmin accent, and with Harvard University. The term Brahmin refers to the highest caste in the caste system in India. In the United States it has been applied to the old, upper crust New England families of British Protestant origin that were extremely influential in the development and leadership of arts, culture, science, politics, trade, and academia.

The Canadian Aboriginal Science and Engineering Association is a private, non-profit organization, which seeks to significantly increase the number of Aboriginal scientists and engineers in the nation and to develop technologically informed leasers within the Aboriginal community. CASEA's ultimate goal is to be catalyst for the advancement of Aboriginal peoples as they seek to become self-reliant and self-determined members of society. CESEA in partnership with the American Indian Science and Engineering Society begins working as early as elementary school through the development of science and math camps, teacher training and mentor ship programs to strengthen Aboriginal students’ educational background in math and science, and to prepare them for the academic pressures of post-secondary school life. At the college and university levels, scholarships will be developed and sought from corporate sponsors. Recruiting opportunities to further prepare Aboriginal students for successful science and engineering careers will be available through the CASEA contact network. Each CASEA student is asked to give back to the Aboriginal community after graduation; thus CASEA students become more than professionals in the technology field, they become architects of a new destiny for Aboriginal peoples.

The Insect Habitat (IH) was designed to support a variety of insect species. However, during the initial flight increments, it will be dedicated to experiments using Drosophila melanogaster, or fruit flies. The Insect Habitat will enable studies of the fruit fly to learn how microgravity affects development, nervous system function, movement and behavior, growth, reproduction, aging, gene expression, mutagenesis from radiation and circadian rhythms or sleep/wake cycles.

CONT

The IH will support single- and multi-generation experiments that have approximate external dimensions of 13.5 cm (L) x 2.25 cm (D) x 7.0 cm (H) each. The flies will live in two chevron-shaped container elements. These containers can be divided into two parts using the internal food cylinders; this yields two 55 ml containers that can support up to 100 Drosophila through to egg-laying. Alternatively, the containers can be left undivided, which yields a single 110 ml volume that supports up to 200 Drosophila. ... The two insect containers reside in the science element portion of the IH. The science element consists of two environmentally controlled "drawers." Each drawer contains a centrifuge that can provide up to 2G. Each centrifuge will hold six insect containers. Typically, one drawer will have a microgravity environment and the other drawer will have a defined gravity environment, although the precise gravity regimen for each centrifuge can be determined by the researcher.

CONT

Insect Habitat (IH) for Space Station - The Insect Habitat System consists of a Transport Element, Science Element and an Insect Container Element.

OBS

Habitats in the Space Station Fundamental Biology Research Facility(SSFBRF) enable studies on a variety of organisms across multiple science disciplines. They allow scientists to conduct experiments in habitats that are similar in design to those that have been used in labs for ground studies. Each habitat provides life support, environmental control, and monitoring systems and can be housed in one or more of the three major host systems : the Centrifuge, Life Sciences Glovebox, and Habitat Holding Rack. This hardware was designed to automate as much as possible, thus providing maximizing science return while requiring minimal crew time.

Professional development course taught on board a commuter train.

CONT

Since September last year, Dean College of Franklin, Mass., in cooperation with the Massachusetts Transit Authority, has offered continuing education courses that cover marketing and management as well as the 60 Km between Franklin and Boston. With the aid of a microphone and portable sound system, a business instructor from Dean College delivers a 50-minute lecture two or three times a week from the last car of the commuter train, pausing only for the conductor to shout out the name of each upcoming stop. The commuter courses cost US$ 330 each, can be applied toward a two-year associate of science degree and are especially popular with administrative assistants and executive secretaires seeking to improve their stations in life(En Route, Air Canada in-flight magazine, june 1994, p. 15).
