b) Explain communicable disease triad. 04

The epidemiological triad or epidemiological triangle is a traditional model for explaining how infectious diseases occur and are transmitted in a community. This model is very simple and is used to explain the mechanisms for the occurrence of infectious diseases and their control and eradication. It is very necessary for.

These three factors are responsible for the occurrence of disease: agent, host, and environment. If any one of them is absent, the disease does not occur. Therefore, this model is used for the emergence and treatment of diseases.

The Epidemiological Triad is a basic model for understanding the occurrence of communicable diseases. This triad is made up of three main components: agent, host, and environment.

1. Agent:

  •    – An agent is the entity that causes a disease process (infection or noninfection). This includes bacteria, viruses, parasites, fungi, etc.
  •    – Example: Hepatitis B virus is the agent that causes Hepatitis B disease.

2. Host:

  •    – A host is a person or organism that is susceptible to an agent of a communicable disease. The host’s innate or acquired characteristics, such as age, sex, immune power, and heredity, can affect the effectiveness of the agent.
  •    – Example: A person with a weakened immune system may be more susceptible to fungal infections.

3. Environment:

  •    – Environment is the set of external factors that influence the transmission between the host and the agent. These include physical, biological, social and economic factors.
  •    – Example: A dirty environment and lack of water are environmental factors that can help spread cholera.

Epidemiological Triad:

  / \

             /   \

            /     \

         Host — Environment

Example: Malaria

– Agent:* Plasmodium parasite

– *Host:* Human

– *Environment:* Areas with water storage (where mosquito populations are high)

Importance:

Epidemiological The trio is important for the prevention and control of communicable diseases. Based on this model, various practical measures are taken for the prevention of communicable diseases, such as:

– Use of medicine to kill the agent.

– Vaccine to increase the host’s immune power.

– Management of organic waste and water to keep the environment clean.

This model helps healthcare professionals to effectively understand and control the spread of communicable diseases.

Q-3 Write short answer (any two) Write a short answer. (Any two) 6×2-12

a) Write down methods of cooking. Write the methods of cooking.

The following different methods are used to cook food.

(1) Boiling

(2) Steaming

(3) Frying

(4) Rousting

(5) Baking

(6). Grilling

(1) Boiling:-

Food is cooked by boiling water at 100* C. This method is used to prepare lentils, rice, vegetables, beans, tubers, and other vegetables.

Since more water is used in this method, vitamins and salts are destroyed. Therefore, sufficient water is used in the boiling method.

(2)Steaming (steaming):- 

In this, food is cooked with hot steam. Pressure cooker works on this principle. There is more steam in the pressure cooker. Through this, all the nutrients are preserved. This saves time and fuel. So this method is excellent. 

 (3) Faying (Frying) :- 

In this, thepla, dosa, all types of pudla, are made by drying them in oil. Similarly, puri, bhajiya, vada, kachori etc. can also be fried in oil. 

(4) Rousting (Roasting):

It is made by adding a little oil or ghee. After that it is placed on direct heat. Chicken is made by this method. This method is also good.

(5) Baking (baking)

In this, food is cooked by dry heat. In this, food is cooked by using an oven and its hot air. This method is good. Biscuits, bread, and cakes are made in it.

(6) Grilling :

In this, dry heat is used to cook food by heating it on a metal grid.

b) Explain purification of water at large scale. Explain water purification on a large scale.

Large scale water purification can be done by sand filtration. This filtration is of two types which are respectively called slow sand filtration or biological sand filtration and 2) rapid sand filtration or mechanical sand filtration.

In this first raw water is purified, it is stored in a settlement tank for two days and in this short period a large quantity of water is purified and 90% of the impurities are removed from it. This happens naturally. In other words, in this stage, the turbidity of raw water is reduced.

In the second stage, this water is The slow sand introduced into the filter is called the filter bed. The bed is structured from top to bottom in this way:
In which there is water in 1.4 meters, below it there is 1.2 liters of fine sand, below it there are large pebbles in 0.4 meters.

Sand is the main filtering medium in the sand bed. Its thickness is 1.2 meters. There is sand at the bottom, which is a layer of sand that supports the sand bed. There is a pipe at the bottom of this sand bed, which is hollow, through which the filtered water collects and comes out through the pipe to the main tank. In this way, many other mechanisms are responsible for purifying the water through the sand filter, which are as follows.

1) mechanical (mechanical)
2) sedimentation (sedimentation)
3) absorption (absorption)
4) oxidation of impurities
5) bacterial action (bacterial action)

All these things play their part in water purification but the important part is on the sand bed or the jugular layer or the vital layer. This is a thin and oily layer which contains many types of alkaline protozoa and bacteria. This layer takes two to three days to form. The vital layer destroys harmful bacteria through the slow layer and the water becomes 98% pure. Therefore, it is not advisable to use the filtered water until the new sand bed is ready. In slow sand filtration, 2+03 million gallons of water can be filtered in the filter at a rate of 2 gallons of water per hour. If the thickness of the vital layer on the filter bed increases, then the water cannot be filtered properly and the filtration rate decreases.

The capacity of the filter bed decreases after a few weeks or days. This is called loss of bed. When this amount increases to 4 feet. Water filtration is not considered beneficial. At such a time, from the top of the vital layer. 2 to 3 am is scratched. This scratching action is called cleaning the filter. Which should be done repeatedly in the bed. When the thickness of the sand bed decreases to 30 to 40 CM, it is closed. And the process is started again by constructing the bed. The main disadvantage of slow sand filtration is that it requires changing the bed at frequent intervals!

Note:-Rapid Sand Filtration (Read from Paper-1)
