Description

Sex and Gender: Sex refers to the biological characteristics that categorize someone as either female or male; Gender refers to the socially determined ideas, roles and practices of what is expected of male or female. These ideas and roles are assigned by cultural beliefs of a community. Culture: This is distinctive patterns of ideas, beliefs, and norms which characterize the way of life and relations of society. We already said that culture defines the roles of men and women. This brings about gender stereotypes. For example we normally assume that women cannot be leaders or cannot initiate development for the family, only men can. This is a stereotype because there are many cases where women are actually the breadwinners of their families. Men cannot be good in child caring, another stereotype which prevents men from childcare duties even if they might be good at it. Another way to understand these concepts is to know the meaning of patriarchy; systemic societal structures that institutionalize male physical, social and economic power over women. That is why it is important to understand the concept of power relations; the hierarchical power between men and women that tend to disadvantage women.

19. IPv6 Basics Trending!
In the 1980s, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) released RFC 791 – Internet Protocol, which marks the standardization of IPv4. In the following decades, IPv4 has become one of the most popular protocols. Numerous people have developed various applications based on IPv4 and made various supplements and enhancements to IPv4, enabling the Internet to flourish. However, with the expansion of the Internet and the development of new technologies such as 5G and Internet of Things (IoT), IPv4 faces more and more challenges. It is imperative to replace IPv4 with IPv6. This course describes the reasons for IPv4-to-IPv6 transition and basic IPv6 knowledge.

21. Network Programmability and Automation Trending!
New protocols, technologies, and delivery and O&M modes are emerging in the network engineering field. Conventional networks face challenges from new connection requirements, such as requirements for cloud computing and artificial intelligence (AI). Enterprises are also pursuing service agility, flexibility, and elasticity. Against this backdrop, network automation becomes increasingly important. Network programmability and automation is to simplify network configuration, management, monitoring, and operations for engineers and improve deployment and O&M efficiency. This course is to help network engineers understand Python programming and implement network automation.

22. Typical Campus Network Architectures and Practices Trending!
A broad range of places, such as campuses, office spaces, and shopping malls, are covered by networks. You can access internal resources of your school, access internal printers of your company to print documents, or access the Internet to browse news through the networks. These networks belong to campus networks and are generally constructed by enterprises or organizations. Campus networks not only improve the operational efficiency of enterprises, but also provide network access services for external users.This chapter describes the basic architecture of a campus network and details how to build a campus network.

SZL2111: HIV/AIDs - Sex education and Human sexuality Trending!
Sex education, also called sexuality education or sex and relationships education. It's the process of acquiring information and forming attitudes and beliefs about sex, sexual identity, relationships and intimacy. It is also about developing young people's skills so that they make informed choices about their behavior, and feel confident and competent about acting on these choices. It is widely accepted that young people have a right to sex education, partly because it is a means by which they are helped to protect themselves against abuse, exploitation, unintended pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases and HIV/AIDS.

SZL 2111: HIV/AIDs - Biology of HIV Trending!
HIV can’t grow or reproduce on its own. It requires cell of living organisms to infect & reproduce. HIV is specific to CD4+ cells in the human body i.e. cells with surface molecule called Cluster of Differentiation 4. Cells carrying this molecule are called CD4+ cells. Therefore HIV cant survive in the animal blood, because its only human blood that contains CD4+cells. HIV is a lentivirus. Like all viruses in this group it attacks the immune system. Lentiviruses are in turn part of a larger group of viruses called retroviruses. The term ”retrovirus” stems from the fact that these kinds of viruses are capable of copying RNA into DNA. The name lentivirus means slow virus. This is because they take such a longtime to produce any adverse effects in the body.
