LECTURE #2:
“Threatened Species in the Philippines and the World”
This session we learned about the incredible world of both plant and animal kingdoms
and its one-of-a-kind and various species across the globe, the
lecturer emphasized the significance of the animals in our ecosystem, especially within
the food chain that keeps the balance of the living community in a specific habitat. Animals and
flowers have uniquely designed aesthetics’ that both function as shield and offensive mechanism
for their survival, its just very awesome that all of this plants, animals, and insects are created
and designed by only one God. This says that we are truly made by design and not just by mere
chance.

Species disappear because of modifications to the earth which can

be induced either via nature or through the moves of people. Sometimes a natural event, like a
volcano erupting, can kill an entire species. Other times, extinction will appear slowly as
nature modifications our world. For example, after the Ice Ages, while the glaciers melted and
the earth became warmer, many species died due to the fact they might not stay in
a hotter climate. Newer species that might live to tell the tale in hotter surroundings took their
places.

People can also cause the extinction of vegetation and animals. The main purpose that

many species are endangered or threatened these days is because people have
changed the houses or habitats upon which those species depend. A habitat includes not the other
plants and animals in an area, but all of the things needed for the species' survival
from sunlight and wind to food and shelter. Every species requires a sure habitat so that it
will stay. A cactus, for example, wishes the sunny, dry desert on the way to grow. A polar bear,
on the opposite hand, could not live in a desert, due to the fact it couldn't find sufficient food and
water and is very hot.

There are a lot of species around the globe, however, we tend to forget that we even have
certain animals here within the Philippines that are at the brink of its extinction in the wild, the
foremost noted of those is that the Monkey Eating Eagle having the most longest wing-span,
these birds were hunted down inconsiderately from poachers that needed to sell it for a really
high value. The Philippine hold a colossal assortment of colorful animals and birds scattered
across inside its terra firma. However, due to the neglect to preserve this treasure, this species is
at the mercy of the human inhabitants living in that place.

I learned that we are to busy in making our lives comfortable and beautiful that we forget
one of the task God has given us and that is to manage all other beings and its surroundings as
the highest lifeform here and not just by appreciating his creations but also preserve and take
care of it with all out strength.

LECTURE #1:
“The Cradle of Biodiversity: BIOMES”
On February 2, 2020 on the start of our very first lecture was about biomes concerning
different biomes within the world, land and water alike. Mr. Catolico which was our lecturer,
outlined biomes as an area wherever system thrive upon that has its own distinctive and totally
different interactions with its species biomes are generally tormented by various factors within
the world like its temperature, humidity, status and even its geologic location within the world.
Such examples are mountains high on top of the see of clouds to the deepest trenches within the
ocean. I pondered concerning this thought to myself that our God is such an all-powerful and all-
knowing being that he masterminded the total style, not simply of the planet but everything we
even can think of.

As Mr. Catolico continue along his lecture, he enumerated specific styles of habitats
various creature should live in; terrestrial or commonly found in land along with continents and
massive hundreds of islands, salt water or marine which are observed inside the large body of
waters of different seas and oceans around the world and ultimately, freshwater habitat which are
bodies of water that isn’t salty. Every well-known type of habitat could have many more specific
biomes for humans and animals to prosper in. The general terrestrial biome has many sub
habitats which might be made due to one of a kind levels of humidity, temperature and different
components which can be affecting it, from deep vegetated rain forests to barren dry lands, the
terrestrial type of habitat prides itself too uniquely made biomes
Most of the world is blanketed in water that is why aquatic biomes are very numerous
and they may lack in variations together with the terrestrial biomes, but, aquatic habitats are
large, considerable and deep. The aquatic biomes homes both salty and sparkling water habitats
that many species of each water living, land living or even amphibious types of creature live in.
The aquatic biomes are in general nonetheless unknown to man, due to the fact mankind has but
uncovered the authentic secrets and techniques of the deepest parts of the sea. like our God, we
can no means fathom or maybe recognize He’s greatness, expertise and holiness for God himself
said in his scriptures that we human beings are supposed to apprehend these things for it’s faith
to him that he will enlighten us what actually means to be in existence in this world.

The cutting-edge era unfolds out new form of habitats for high-quality animals, wild and

domesticated alike. big towns and its tall skyscrapers make as a makeshift nest for birds in
the town and brilliant farms and stables provide haven to domesticated animals and farm
animals. This lecture had taught the students to be privy to the specific sorts of biomes there may
be around the globe and the way it’s essential. It's far no longer just animals but additionally for
us human beings, I am very thankful to God in how He particularly layout the
ones complex matters for us to understand.

LECTURE #3:
“Worst-case Climate Change Scenario: Is there hope?”

The lectures went on for the third lecture and also the last within the morning session, Sir
Ephraim Evangelista from the academic department discussed to us the various climates in earth,
what are the threats it poses, the benefits it gives us and the way can we all know what climate
we are in.
The lecture started by differentiating between climate and weather. Weather, consistent
with the lecture, is what the forecasters on the TV news, predict day by day, it's a combination of
events that happens day by day in our atmosphere. Weather isn't the identical everywhere; it's
going to be hot and sunny in one a part of the planet, but freezing and snowy in another. The
lecturer also noted that an area will be named or recognized by the foremost frequent weather
phenomenon it's in. God made this amazing phenomenon to bless His other worldly
creations like the green and luscious plants and different kinds of vegetation and even the
massive and little critters that take pleasure in such wonderful blessing from God. Weather
is plagued by the change of temperature, gas pressure, direction and speed of the wind, humidity
and cloudiness; with these at play it makes the weather sunny, cloudy, windy and rainy. Climate
then is that the average weather in an exceedingly place over a few years and consistent with the
lecture there are 5 main climate types on earth: Tropical, a hot and humid zone which will be
either wet or wet and dry, the typical temperatures are high and features a 59 inches of
precipitation annually, second is that the Dry climate, these climate zones are dry because
moisture is rapidly evaporated within the air. Third is that the temperate climate, during this zone
there are typically warm and humid summer with thunderstorms, fourth is that the continental
climate, these regions have take cool summers and really cold winters and lastly the Polar
climate, this region is extremely cold winters and lastly the Polar climate, this region is
extremely cold even in summer.
Global climate change has been a pressing concern for all the inhabitants of earth; it's the
change of climate and weather systems being caused by the warming of the world, the reason
for global climate change is warming, which the surface of the world gets hotter because of UV
rays from the sun trapped or blocked by greenhouse gasses from exiting the
world. warming could be a man-made catastrophe which will bring more harm to the world and
to us; even now most of the people don’t believe this and refused to just accept that the
world we reside in is slowly getting down to wither away. God gave mankind such beautiful
creations and yet as sin overcame us we neglect this thought and still cash in of His works of art,
the enemy is tough at work to create us neglect God by showing to us that by exploiting this
things we are benefiting ourselves, we are blinded by our own narcissistic actions to
counterpoint ourselves but fail to work out the wreckage and destruction of our own doing. This
lecture really reminded me that God loves us dearly but it's us that opt to not see it.

LECTURE #4:
“Cells in a Petri Dish: Stem Cell Technology”
The lecture of Science, Technology, and Society on day February 2,
2020 continued in the afternoon and dove deeper to additional complicated topics that involve
the human anatomy and its genetic make-up, Ma’am Merbeth L. Pedro graced us a topic entitled
“Gene Therapy”, before diving deep to the intricacies of this subject the lecturer teaches us the
essential information we would like to possess therefore as for us to understand the discussion as
a result of it progresses. Humans have 20,000-25,000 genes found inside the body and these
genes composes our genetic make-up, they're referred to as the “blue prints” of our bodies as a
result of they're those who influences our look or look, just like the color of your hair and
eyes, how tall or short you are and whether or not if you’re lean or fat, however if
a sequence doesn’t work properly it will cause sure types of diseases. per the lecture,
genes will modify as they're probing inherit mutations, as they age, or by being altered
or broken through chemicals or radiation.

Gene medical care then is associate degree experimental technique that uses genes to

treat or forestall unwellness, numerous techniques include; replacement a mutated sequence that
causes unwellness with a healthy copy of the gene, inactivating, or “knocking out” a
mutated sequence that's functioning improperly, and introducing a replacement sequence into the
body to help fight a unwellness. this method was 1st conceptualized on
1972 however nevertheless to position it into follow on 1980 that was performed by life
scientist but was deemed unsuccessful, when a decade in 1990 after the treatment of Ashi
Desilva from ADA-SCHID it had been widely accepted that it had been the
first productive operation of sequence medical care. Throughout our era, this method is improved
and placed simplest in hardening blood disease, Parkinson’s unwellness, Cancer, HIV, SCID,
and alternative rare genetic diseases, sequence medical care has tested itself as a
wonderful plus to the medical field.

This methodology but terminated the life of Jesse Gelsinger and this was the

first documented death as a results of gene medical care, because of  this has several have begun
to question this ways and its moral use, this issue had an additional bigger impact to the non
secular community that powerfully believes inside the creation and its teaching from the bible.
Personally, i'm torn between the ideals of the science community and so the teachings of my
belief, foremost this discovery if researched additional upon are typically an
awfully massive profit not just for the science and medical fields aside from all humanity,
it ought to be the cure for Ebola hemorrhagic fever in Africa or maybe the corona virus that's
spreading slowly however steady around the world nowadays, this discovery
hold abundant potential for the long term, however inside the opposite hand enjoying God
by tweaking the styles of our Creator can cause our own death, this becomes a reminder for all of
us that we are going to ne'er comprehend the works of God and if we have a tendency to try
to reach the number of knowledge He holds will solely be our downfall.

LECTURE #5:
“Exploring Biotechnology: Can we edit our Genes and Others?”

Dr. Orlex Yllano was the instructor for the theme Biotechnology on the evening of
February 2, 2020; he began his talk by asking us that as future guardians in the event that we
ever have the capacity to redo our kid to our inclination would we do it? The crowd was
conflicted between needing to do it and not doing it. The moral predicament of this inquiry has
prodded a large number of the audience members to be progressively inspired by this point for
the day. I even delighted in pondering this situation for it corresponds with the distinction of my
convictions as a Christian.

As per the talk biotechnology is the creation of human proteins; beforehand human
proteins are gathered from numerous sources, for example, creatures, dead bodies, and gave
blood. 1985 a research facility development hormone was integrated, conceivably boundless
sums can be orchestrated through this, it has no chance of sullying with ailment causing
operators. This disclosure upset the science network and improved the field of biotechnology.
Like previously, this inquiry of playing god by messing with human qualities is an intense and
delicate subject and it would've been edifying if the teacher gave bits of knowledge about this
problem that needs to be addressed among the brains of the crowd.

The talk proceeded about the premise of hereditary building or recombinant DNA
innovation and it expresses that cells of various creatures are comparable and cell predictable as
well, the cells follow the equivalent physical and concoction laws. This implies the cells in a
creature, plant and human are comparative in a bigger number of ways than none and through
this they can build its various properties to be controlled by the other. A transformation is a
regular worry for individuals since this may adjust a noteworthy framework or part of their life
systems or physiology, a prime case of this is the Sickle-Cell Sickness, which is a
straightforward change in the essential structure of the DNA, it is an acquired blood issue that
modifies the state of the platelets into sickle-like structure which thus diminishes the measure of
oxygen or supplements it can convey all through your body, radically influencing your
physiology.

Biotechnology is even more much of the time utilized in plants or nourishment creating
creatures to expand the yield of its gather. This strategy is affirmed in a large portion of the
nations around the globe to remunerate its expanding populace. Rice has been naturally designed
to have greater and developing grains to increase the reap. Milk delivering bovines in ranches are
likewise bioengineered to create more milk and some more. As I would like to think this
technique has blended remarks and various perspectives in its moral employments. It has been
demonstrated valuable for humankind yet over the long haul it will be manhandled of its latent
capacity, this sort of information in the hands of mankind is alarming, as the holy book cautions
us that information will expand we should then prepared ourselves for the before long happening
to the Master to spare us from this universe of His.

LECTURE #6:
“Scary Microbes: HERE THEY COME!”

The remainder of the talks for the day handled the most upsetting theme yet, and it is
about infections brought by microorganisms. At the point when God made the earth and men, He
caused it so the earth to can accommodate men and thusly the men will think about the earth and
every one of its occupants yet when we were damaged by transgression from our first guardians'
downfall, diseases, afflictions and demise have become our concern as discipline for the
wrongdoing we have submitted, however over and over we are continually reminded that this
things are not crafted by God but rather it is of the adversary, the sufferings we face are brought
by Satan to debilitate our confidence to God and His valuable guarantees for everybody right
now world.

HIV is additionally one of the worries the world over, on the grounds that as consistently
passes the individuals contaminated are expanding by a critical rate. The organisms that are
answerable for this as vectors of maladies are called pathogens. Pathogens are irresistible
operator that causes malady or sickness in a host the most acclaimed of these are the
Microorganisms, infections and parasites.

Microbes have numerous attributes that will suit their requirements for endurance on the
planet, they can develop and increase best in a situation that is 37 degrees Celsius, for example,
the human body, they can enter the collection of hosts through cuts, punctures and some other
gashes of the skin, and they needn't bother with oxygen to endure. Microscopic organisms are
unicellular living beings that have a tail like structure that moves them a particular way filling in
as its method of motion on surfaces or even inside the human body. Those tainted by
microscopic organisms can be a vector for other people, who have not been contaminated at this
point this is called transmission, this can be either immediate or through physical contact or
circuitous transmission or through ingestion, inward breath or immunization

Parasites is organism that is as yet thought to be a plant since it has cell structures that
lone plant cells have however as opposed to making its own nourishment through
photosynthesis, it gets it nourishment from dead and rotting plants, creatures or human cells.
Parasites can spread quickly on the grounds that it very well may be spread through air, water
and contact among individuals. There are four sorts of human contagious malady as indicated by
profundity and degree of contamination. Shallow mycoses, that influences the hair and skin
colors, Cutaneous mycoses that influences the skin and nails, Subcutaneous mycoses that
influences the subcutaneous tissues, and last the Methodical or profound mycoses that influences
the organs inside the human body, generally basic of this is the lungs because of airborne growth.
These microorganisms are the explanation behind the smell in your feet, competitor's foot,
dandruff in your hair and some more. Parasite can likewise be the reason for some explicitly
transmitted diseases.
