2018年英语专业四级听力 对话1Conversation One对话1Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.根据对话1回答第一题到第五题。Hi,Bob. You speak very good Chinese.嗨，鲍勃。你的中文讲得很好。Not really, Mary. I just know a little. Actually, not being able to speak a foreign language is a bit of a British trait or a particularly British characteristic. The British are generally considered to be lazy linguists. We just don't bother to learn another language.不，玛丽。我只会一点点。事实上，不会说外语是英国人的一个特点，或者是英国人的一个特别的特点。英国人通常被认为在学习外语方面比较懒惰。我们只是不想去学另一种语言。I guess the main reason is that when you travel around the world, you find that English is spoken almost everywhere.我想主要原因是你到世界的其他地方，会发现几乎所有的地方都说英语。Yes,yes. We get by. We survive on just using our mother language.是的，是的。我们勉强能对付过去。我们仅靠母语就生存。But you seem to love learning languages a lot. How many foreign languages can you speak?但是你似乎很喜欢学习语言，你能说多少种外语？Not that many. A bit of German, some French, Polish a little, Chinese of course, a bit of Japanese. That's about it.不是很多。一点德语，一点法语，一点波兰语，当然还有汉语，一点日语。仅此而已。I'm impressed. Well, what is the second most-spoken language in England? Is it Chinese?真惊人啊。那么，英国第二大语言是什么呢？是中文吗？No, I don't think so.不，我觉得不是。Then,that must be French.那一定是法语。No.According to the recent census, 104 different languages are spoken in the UK and Polish is the second most spoken language, followed by Punjabi and Urdu.不。根据最近的普查，英国有104种不同的语言，波兰语是第二大语言，其次是旁遮普语和乌尔都语。Then,do you have to learn a foreign language in school?那么，你在学校必须学外语吗？No,it's not compulsory. But recently a campaign was launched to encourage everyone in the UK to learn at least 1,000 words of another language. It hopes to help Britain increase international trade.不，不是强制性的。但最近发起了一项运动，鼓励英国人学习至少1000个外语单词，以期帮助英国增加国际贸易。1,000 words?1000个词？Yes.It's called the 1,000 Words Campaign because it says a vocabulary of 1,000 words would allow a speaker to hold a simple conversation.是的。它被称为“干词运动”，因为这个运动称掌握1000词可以与人进行简单的对话。That sounds like a good idea.听起来是个好主意。Yes.It gives you self-satisfaction and self-esteem if you can speak another language when you're travelling. And I think it also gives you an edge in a lot of different areas in the workplace. You feel good about learning a new skill and you feel good about yourself, and it boosts your confidence. Imagine going on a holiday to Spain and being able to speak to the locals.是的。如果你在旅行时会说一门外语，这会带给你自我满足和自尊。而且我认为它也让你在工作中的很多不同领域都有优势。学习一项新技能感觉很好，你自己也会很开心，这能增强你的信心。想象一下去西班牙度假，你可以和当地人交谈。Of course it does make one feel good.当然会让人感觉很好。And there are also the economic benefits of speaking another language. It gives you an advantage, especially if you are dealing with foreign companies.说外语也有经济上的好处。这是你的一个优势，尤其是当你和外国公司打交道的时候。Yes.It also shows politeness and respect for other people by showing you have made an effort.是的。它也说明你很努力，表现了你的礼貌和对他人的尊重。You're right. Mm, I'm afraid I must get going now. I'll have my Chinese class at 10 o'clock.你说的对。嗯，恐怕我得走了。我10点要上中文课。Oh, I have a class at 10 as well. OK, see you later.哦，我10点也有一节课。好吧，再见。See you.再见。Questions 1 to 5 are based on Conversation One.根据对话1回答第一题到第五题。1.According to the man, what is a British characteristic?问题1.根据男士的说法，英国人的特点是什么？2.What is the second most-spoken language in the UK?问题2.在英国，第二大语言是什么？3.Why was the 1,000 Words Campaign launched?问题3.为什么要发起“干词行动”？4.According to the man, which is not considered an advantage of learning a foreign language?问题4.根据男士的说法，哪一项不属于学习外语的优势？5.What's the most probable relationship between the man and the woman?问题5.对话中两个人最可能是什么关系？

My Story  Talk 20  Ministry at Basingstoke 1968-78  Part 5 Welcome to Talk 20 in our series where I'm reflecting on God's goodness to me throughout my life. Last time I was telling you how God was clearly blessing my trips abroad, to Switzeralnd, France, Belgium and the USA, and, thanks entirely to the gift that God had given me, my teaching was in increasingly great demand both at home and overseas. But how did all this fit in with my responsibilities as the pastor of the church in Basingstoke? The Lord showed me that the answer lay in two things – writing and team ministry.   Writing ministry Today, of course, it's relatively easy to communicate with people all over the world by a variety of options available through the internet. But before the internet, apart from radio and television, speaking on which was not readily available, Christian literature was the main means of communicating with potentially thousands of people. What you write can travel further than you can.   One example of this was Andy Anstey, a Canadian who became a student at Mattersey during the early years of my principalship. He told me that he had been baptised in the Spirit in a university library in Canada as a result of reading my book, The Dynamic Difference. I have never been to Canada, but one of my books had found its way there.   It had started as a booklet I wrote for the Students' Pentecostal Fellowship in 1971, Be Filled with the Spirit. Jim Hall had used it on my first trip to Illinois and persuaded me to expand it, as a result of which Receive Power was published in 1974 in time for my second trip to the States. It was finally published in 1978 by Gospel Publishing House, Springfield MO, under the title, The Dynamic Difference.   I was also writing articles for magazines like Redemption Tidings and Youth Aflame, the AoG youth magazine. At Basingstoke I had given a series of Bible studies on the Fundamental Truths of Assemblies of God, and I asked Vernon Ralphs, the editor of Youth Aflame, if he would like me to write a series of articles on the subject. Those articles were eventually published by Peniel Press as a book under the title, Know the Truth, in 1976, and with the cooperation of the publisher, I was able to give a free copy to every AoG minister at the General Conference that year.   And something similar happened with another series of articles I wrote for Youth Aflame. At Colchester I had duplicated a series of short talks for young people who had just given their lives to Jesus and these were eventually published as a book in 1977 under the title How to Live for Jesus. Both these books are still being used, over fifty years later, by a number of churches today, though Know the Truth is now published under the title You'd Better Believe It. It has been translated into several languages including German, French, Italian, Finnish, Spanish, Urdu, and Nepalese.   Another publication that is still being used widely around the world is the distance learning course I wrote on the Major Prophets for the International Correspondence Institute in Brussels under the title Themes from the Prophets. I have already mentioned that this was a subject I was lecturing on in Kenley Bible College and I already had many pages of lecture notes that I had produced and duplicated for the students.   So when Dr George Flattery, the brother of Warren and founder and director of ICI, asked me if I would be willing to write the course, I was happy to do so. This involved several visits to Brussels, each of which lasted for two weeks, where I could get on with writing the course undistracted. It was also a great opportunity to meet other Pentecostal educators from around the world, including the renowned New Testament scholar, Professor Gordon Fee who was writing the course on 1 Corinthians and became a good friend.   So I will always be grateful for the opportunity I was given to be a part of ICI, but especially for the induction teaching they offered to all their course writers, which included the requirement to read The Art of Readable Writing by Rudolf Flesch the basic message of which, as I remember it, was to write as you speak, rather than writing in the academic style you were required to use at school or university.   Other things Flesch recommended were, wherever possible, to use short words rather than long ones, personal names rather than pronouns, the active voice rather than the passive, and short sentences rather than long ones – which prompts me to close this sentence before it gets any longer!   So, to summarise, I had realised that by using literature a person's ministry could be extended far beyond their time and ability to travel. But that in itself did not solve the problem of reconciling what I perceived to be my obligations to the church where I was pastor with the travelling ministry the Lord was clearly opening up for me.   And, as I was praying about this, he answered my question by whispering into my heart the word Antioch. Of course, I knew that Antioch was the place where the disciples were first called Christians (Acts 11:26), but at first I couldn't see how it was relevant to my problem, so I decided to turn to Acts to see if I could find the answer. And I did. The answer was the development of team ministry.   Developing Team Ministry The church at Antioch was started by believers who had been scattered as a result of the persecution of the church that took place after the stoning of Stephen. Some of them went to Antioch spreading the word to both Jews and gentiles and a great number of people believed and turned to the Lord. When the apostles at Jerusalem heard about this they sent Barnabas to take care of the work, and even more people became Christians. Realising that he needed help, he went to Tarsus to find Paul and brought him to Antioch. For a whole year they met with the church and taught great numbers of people.   From this it is clear that they were both, to say the least, key people in the church. And yet in Acts 13 we are told that the Holy Spirit sent them away from the church for a time in order to pioneer churches in other countries. The reason they were able to do this and, on their return, find that the church was still strong, was because they were not the only leaders in the church. Acts 13:1 talks of three others at Antioch who were prophets and teachers.   As I read about this it became obvious to me that this was the Lord's answer to my question. If I was to continue travelling we would need other leaders in the church. So I started on a detailed study of what the New Testament has to say about the leadership of the local church, and I discovered that churches were led by a team of elders, overseers, or pastors, and as I investigated the passages where these are mentioned I saw very clearly that these were all interchangeable terms. In the New Testament the elders were the pastors. They were the ones who were the shepherds of the flock and had the responsibility of watching over, or overseeing it.   I have gone into this in detail in my book, Body Builders, and so there is no need to repeat it here. All I need to say is that I came to the conclusion that the traditional system of having just one person as the church leader really has no biblical basis and that team leadership must be the way forward.   I have already mentioned how the pastor in East Saint Louis had come to the same conclusion and it soon became apparent that this was something the Lord was saying to many different leaders around the world. I preached on this in the Home Missions Conference at Weymouth in 1973 and was pleasantly surprised that I was not the only one to hold this view.   But where were these new leaders for our church in Basingstoke to come from? The answer was simple. We already had them, but they had never been recognised. There were two men, David Moncaster and Keith Davidson, who, I felt, both met the biblical qualifications mentioned in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1. But before I asked the church to appoint them, I spent several weeks teaching about the principles of church leadership. If we are going to persuade people to break away from long held traditions it is vital that we show them very clearly that what we are proposing is in line with scripture.   I have already mentioned that Bill Mitchell had already been recognised as an elder in the church before I came. But after my teaching on the biblical qualifications of elders he graciously came to me and said that in the light of what I had taught he thought he was probably a deacon rather than an elder and offered to resign. I told him that I thought he was probably right, but that, as his resignation might be misunderstood by some of the members, I would prefer him to remain as an elder, nominally at least, as long as we both understood that this was not really his role. And to this he readily agreed.   So for the final few years of my time in Basingstoke the church was led by a team which we referred to as the pastoral oversight, Willaim Kay being added to the team a little later. The church continued to grow under this system of leadership, and when the Lord moved me on to Mattersey the church was in safe hands.   The call to the Bible College I have already mentioned that in 1970 I started as a visiting lecturer at Kenley Bible College. On one of my visits in January 1972 I learned that John Phillips, who was a full time residential tutor at Kenley would be leaving, and as I was travelling home that evening, I was wondering who might be chosen to replace him. It would surely be someone who was already teaching at the college and I was thinking through the names in the college prospectus when I came to my own name. But I quickly dismissed the thought as I was sure that I would be considered too young for such a responsible position. And anyway, God had called me to build a big church in Basingstoke, hadn't he?   But no sooner had I thought this than I felt a check in my spirit and said, But of course, Lord, I'll do whatever you want me to do. But if you ever do want me to leave Basingstoke I will need very clear guidance on the matter.   You may remember the struggle I had when we first moved to Basingstoke and how for some months I wondered if we had done the right thing. I didn't want a repetition of that. But now, having prayed that prayer, I tried to put the matter out of my mind. This turned out to be harder than expected and that very night, some time between 1:00 and 2:00, on Tuesday 25th January, I woke up with a burning conviction that I was going to live at the Bible College. I tried to shake it off, but it would not go away, so I went downstairs to pray. What I said to the Lord went something like this: Lord, you know I need my sleep, so if this is of you, and you want me to go to the college, would you please tell me quickly?   And he did! As I opened my King James Bible, it fell open at 2 Chronicles 34:22. I could hardly believe my eyes. It contained the words dwelt… at the college. With the exception of the parallel verse in 2 Kings 22:14, this is the only reference to the word college in the whole Bible. This had to be more than coincidence.   I had asked the Lord to tell me quickly, and he did. But, rather like Moses in Exodus 3 and 4, I found myself making excuses like, I've only been in Basingstoke for four years, and, They wouldn't choose me. I'm too young. I don't have enough experience etc. But just as God had an answer for every objection Moses made, he had an answer for mine too. For each objection I made he led me directly to a Bible passage that answered it.   As a result I was entirely convinced that I was going to live at the College. I didn't know when but thought that it might be in September after John Phillips had left. In fact it was five or six years later! I have discovered that one of the hardest things in understanding the will of God is his timing. I have also discovered that God seems to give us the clearest guidance when he knows that there is trouble ahead! It's only the certainty that we are in his will that will sustain us through trials and difficulties and tests to our faith.   And there were to be plenty of those before we got to Mattersey! But that's something for our next talk.

Throwing cheese and shaky cheese are two very different things. In baseball, hard cheese refers to a powerful fastball, and probably comes from a similar-sounding word in Farsi, Urdu, and Hindi. Shaky cheese, on the other hand, is a slang term for Parmesan cheese, which many of us grew up shaking out of a can. Also, why is a movie preview called a trailer when it comes at the beginning of a film, not the end? And: if you want to say that something's not your responsibility, there's always the handy phrase Not my circus, not my monkey.

They thought their bargain sea-view flat in Mumbai was a dream—until Rochelle began wandering the terrace at 1 a.m. with a frozen grin, growling in Urdu, and stalking their four-year-old. When she tried to hang herself with a bedsheet, he desperately called paranormal fixer Manish. Manish learns the previous tenant died the same way, and the vengeful spirit now rides Rochelle, strongest at the witching hour.

Aab means water, but in Urdu, it means so much more. It is life in motion, purity that flows, the quiet resilience of a stream shaping stone. Aab is not just liquid, it is legacy. It reflects the sky, carries the weight of time, and remembers every path it has carved. In poetry, aab becomes a symbol of honour, emotion, and endless movement, of tears unshed and rivers unspoken. It quenches not just thirst, but longing. In this episode of Urdunama, we follow the currents of aab through the verses of poets who've seen water as witness, healer, and metaphor. Join us as we explore how something so fluid holds the deepest truths. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Qurratulain Hyder could weave a story in a manner that was quick in its pace and yet lingering in its mood. Her characters, often from urban backgrounds, live lives riddled with irony, while Qurratulain Hyder narrates their story with sardonic humour.One of the sharpest minds of her times, she spread her wings wide in the literary skies- she wrote for newspapers, short stories, memoirs and that magnificent historical novel, Aag Ka Dariya ( that she later translated into English herself as River of Fire)- a novel that encompasses the fates of four recurring characters over two and a half millennia. Let's listen today to a story that well illustrates her sparkling skills as a storyteller par excellence!कुर्रतुलैन हैदर एक ऐसी कहानीकार थीं जिनके कथानक  गति में तेज़ और फिर भी अपने मूड में स्थिर होते हैं। उनके पात्र, जो अक्सर शहरी पृष्ठभूमि से होते हैं, विडंबनाओं से भरे जीवन जीते हैं, कुर्रतुलैन हैदर उन पात्रों की कहानी अपनी अनूठी व्यंग्यात्मक शैली के साथ बयान करती हैं। अपने समय की सबसे प्रखर लेखकों में से एक, उन्होंने साहित्य के आसमान में अपने पंख फैलाए- उन्होंने अखबारों, लघु कथाओं, संस्मरणों के साथ-साथ उन्होंने वह  शानदार ऐतिहासिक उपन्यास, आग का दरिया लिखा, जिसका बाद में उन्होंने खुद अंग्रेजी में ‘रिवर ऑफ फायर' के रूप में अनुवाद किया। ये एक ऐसा उपन्यास है जो ढाई सहस्राब्दियों में चार आवर्ती पात्रों के भाग्य को समेटे हुए है। आइए आज एक ऐसी कहानी सुनें जो एक कहानीकार के रूप में उनके शानदार कौशल को बखूबी दर्शाती है!ऐनी आपा के नाम से जानी जानी वाली क़ुर्रतुल ऐन हैदर  प्रसिद्ध उपन्यासकार और लेखिका थीं। उनका जन्म उत्तर प्रदेश के शहर अलीगढ़ में हुआ था। उनके पिता थे 'सज्जाद हैदर यलदरम' जो उर्दू के जाने-माने लेखक तो थे ही, साथ ही ब्रिटिश शासन के राजदूत की हैसियत से अफगानिस्तान, तुर्की इत्यादि देशों में भी रहे  और उनकी मां 'नजर' बिन्ते-बाकिर भी उर्दू की लेखिका थीं। कुर्रतुलऐन बचपन से ही पाश्चात्य संस्कृति में पली-बढ़ीं। उन्होंने प्रारंभिक शिक्षा लालबाग, लखनऊ, उत्तर प्रदेश स्थित गाँधी स्कूल में प्राप्त की व तत्पश्चात अलीगढ़ से हाईस्कूल पास किया।उन्होंने लखनऊ विश्वविद्यालय से एम.ए. किया। फिर लन्दन के हीदरलेस आर्ट्स स्कूल में शिक्षा ग्रहण की। भारत और पाकिस्तान के विभाजन के समय  में उनके भाई-बहन व रिश्तेदार पाकिस्तान पलायन कर गए। लखनऊ में अपने पिता की मौत के बाद कुर्रतुल ऐन हैदर भी अपने बड़े भाई मुस्तफा हैदर के साथ पाकिस्तान पलायन कर गयीं। लेकिन वहां से वे लन्दन चली गयीं। वहाँ स्वतंत्र लेखक व पत्रकार के रूप में वह बीबीसी लन्दन से जुड़ीं तथा दि टेलीग्राफ की रिपोर्टर व इम्प्रिंट पत्रिका की प्रबन्ध सम्पादक भी रहीं। कुर्रतुल ऐन हैदर इलेस्ट्रेड वीकली के संपादन से भी जुडी रही । १९५६ में जब वे भारत भ्रमण पर आईं तो उनके पिताजी के अभिन्न मित्र मौलाना अबुल कलाम आज़ाद ने उनसे पूछा कि क्या वे भारत आना चाहतीं हैं? कुर्रतुल ऐन हैदर के हामी भरने पर उन्होंने इस दिशा में कोशिश करने की बात कही और अन्ततः वे वह लन्दन से आकर मुम्बई में रहने लगीं और तब से भारत में हीं रहीं। उन्होंने विवाह नहीं किया। उन्होंने अपना कैरियर एक पत्रकार की हैसियत से शुरू किया लेकिन इसी दौरान वे लिखती भी रहीं और उनकी कहानियां, उपन्यास, अनुवाद, रिपोर्ताज़ वग़ैरह सामने आते रहे। वो उर्दू में लिखती और अँग्रेजी में पत्रकारिता करती थीं। उनके बहुत से उपन्यासों का अनुवाद अंग्रेज़ी और हिंदी भाषा में हो चुका है। साहित्य अकादमी में उर्दू सलाहकार बोर्ड की वे दो बार सदस्य भी रहीं। विजिटिंग प्रोफेसर के रूप में वे जामिया इस्लामिया विश्वविद्यालय व अलीगढ मुस्लिम विश्वविद्यालय और अतिथि प्रोफेसर के रूप में कैलिफोर्निया विश्वविद्यालय से भी जुड़ी रहीं।१९५९ में उनका सबसे प्रसिद्ध उपन्यास आग का दरिया प्रकाशित हुआ जिसे आज़ादी के बाद लिखा जाने वाला सबसे बड़ा उपन्यास माना गया। -----About this channel: On this Youtube channel, you can listen to Hindi and Urdu Stories by famous writers of Hindi sahitya/ literature.

Episode Summary Afreenish Amir, Ph.D., Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR) Project Director at the National Institute of Health in Pakistan, highlights significant increases in extensively drug-resistant typhoid and cholera cases in Pakistan and discusses local factors driving AMR in Asia. She describes the development and implementation of a National Action Plan to combat AMR in a developing country, emphasizing the importance of rational antimicrobial use, surveillance and infection control practice. Ashley's Biggest Takeaways AMR is a global and One Health issue. Pakistan has a huge disease burden of AMR. Contributing factors include, but are not limited to, overcrowding, lack of infection control practices, poor waste management practices and over-the-counter prescription practices. Promoting the rational use of antimicrobials is imperative at all levels—from tertiary care to primary care practitioners. Typhoid and cholera are high-burden infections in Pakistan, with typhoid being a year-round issue and cholera being seasonal. A holistic approach, involving various sectors and disciplines, is necessary in order to address the global AMR threat. Amir highlights the need for better communication and collaboration to bridge gaps and build trust between different organizations. Featured Quotes: I've been working at the National Institutes of Health for the last 7 years now. So, I've been engaged in the development and the implementation of the national action plan on AMR, and that gave me the opportunity to explore the work in the field of antimicrobial resistance. Reality of AMR in Pakistan [Pakistan] is an LMIC, and we have a huge disease burden of antimicrobial resistance in the country right now. A few years back, there was a situational analysis conducted, and that has shown that there is presence of a large number of resistant pathogens within the country. And National Institutes of Health, they have started a very standardized surveillance program based upon the global antimicrobial use and surveillance system back in 2017. And [those datasets have] generated good evidence about the basic statistics of AMR within the country. So, for example, if I talk about the extensively drug-resistant typhoid, typhoid is very much prevalent in the country. Our data shows that in 2017 there were 18% MDR typhoid cases through the surveillance data. And in 2021 it was like 60%. So that has shown that how the resistance has increased a lot. A number of challenges are associated with this kind of a thing, overcrowded hospitals, poor infection prevention and control (IPC) measures. So, there is AMR within the country—there's a huge burden—and we are trying to look for the better solutions.  Local Factors Driving AMR Bacteria, they do not know the borders. We have a close connection with the other Asian countries, and we have a long border connected with the 2 big countries, which are Afghanistan and India and Bangladesh and China. So, we see that it's not limited to 1 area. It's not regional. It's also a history of travel. When the people travel from one area to the other, they carry the pathogen as a colonizer or as a carrier, and they can infect [other] people. So, it's really connected, and it's really alarming as well. You never know how the disease is transmitted, and we have the biggest example of COVID—how things have spread from 1 country to the other, and how it has resulted in a massive pandemic. AMR is similar. We have seen that it's not limited to 1 region. We are part of this global community, and we are contributing somehow to the problem. First, I'll talk about the health care infrastructure. We do have the capacities in the hospitals, but still, there's a huge population. Pakistan is a thickly populated country. It's a population of around 241 million. And with the increasing population, we see that the infrastructure has not developed this much. So now the existing hospitals are overcrowded, and this has led to poor infection control practices within the hospitals. The staff is not there. In fact, ID consultants are not available in all the hospitals. Infection control nurses are not available in all the hospitals. So, this is one of the main areas that we see, that there is a big challenge. The other thing that can contribute is the poor waste management practices. Some of the hospitals—private and public sectors—they are following the waste management guidelines—even the laboratories. But many of the hospitals are not following the guidelines. And you know that AMR is under one health. So, whatever waste comes from the hospital eventually goes to the environment, and then from there to the animal sector and to the human sector. [Another big] problem that we are seeing is the over-the-counter prescription of antimicrobials. There is no regulation available in the country right now to control the over-the-counter prescription of antibiotics. They are easily available. People are taking the antibiotics without a prescription from the doctors, and the pharmacist is giving the patients any kind of medicine. And either it is effective/not effective, it's a falsified, low-quality antibiotic for how long in duration antibiotic should be taken. So, there are multiple of things or reasons that we see behind this issue of AMR. Rational Use of Antimicrobials It is a complex process how we manage this thing, but what we are closely looking at in the country right now is that we promote the rational use of antimicrobials at all levels—not only at the tertiary care levels, but also at the general practitioner level. They are the first point of contact for the patients, with the doctors, with the clinicians. So, at this point, I think the empirical treatment needs to be defined, and they need to understand the importance of this, their local antibiograms, what are the local trends? What are the patterns? And they need to prescribe according to those patterns. And very recently, the AWaRE classification of WHO, that is a big, big support in identifying the rational use of antimicrobials—Access, Watch and Reserve list—that should be propagated and that should be understood by all the general practitioners. And again, I must say that it's all connected with the regulations. There should be close monitoring of all the antibiotic prescriptions, and that can help to control the issue of AMR. National Action Plan on AMR So, when I joined NIH, the National Election plan had already been developed. It was back in 2017, and we have a good senior hierarchy who has been working on it very closely for a long period of time. So, the Global Action Plan on AMR, that has been our guiding document for the development of the national action plan on AMR, and we are following the 5 strategic objectives proposed in the global action plan. The five areas included: The promotion of advocacy and awareness in the community and health care professionals. To generate evidence through the data, through the surveillance systems. Generation of support toward infection prevention and control services IPC. Promoting the use of antimicrobials both in the human sector and the animal sector, but under the concept of stewardship, antimicrobial consumption and utilization. Invest in the research and vaccine and development. So, these are some of the guiding principles for us to develop the National Action Plan, and it has already been developed. And it's a very comprehensive approach, I must say. And our institute has started working on it, basically towards recreating awareness and advocacy. And we have been successful in creating advocacy and awareness at a mass level. Surveillance We have a network of Sentinel surveillance laboratories engaged with us, and they are sharing the data with NIH on a regular basis, and this is helping NIH to understand the basic trends on AMR and what is happening. And eventually we plan to go towards this case-based surveillance as well, but this is definitely going to take some time because to make people understand the importance of surveillance, this is the first thing. And very recently, the Institute and country has started working towards the hospital acquired infection surveillance as well. So, this is a much-needed approach, because the lab and the hospital go hand in hand, like whatever is happening in the lab, they eventually reach the patients who are in the hospitals. Wastewater surveillance is the key. You are very right. Our institute has done some of the work toward typhoid and cholera wastewater surveillance, and we were trying to identify the sources where we are getting these kinds of pathogens. These are all enteric pathogens. They are the key source for the infection. And for the wastewater surveillance mechanism, we can say that we have to engage multiple stakeholders in this development process. It's not only the laboratory people at NIH, but we need to have a good epidemiologist. We need to have all the water agencies, like the public health engineering departments, the PCRWR, the environmental protection agencies who are working with all these wastewater sites. So, we need to connect with them to make a good platform and to make this program in a more robust fashion. Pathogens and Disease Burdon For cholera and typhoid within Pakistan, I must say these are the high burden infections or diseases that we are seeing. For typhoid, the burden is quite high. We have seen a transition from the multidrug-resistant pathogens to the extensively drug-resistant pathogens, which now we are left with only azithromycin and the carbapenems. So, the burden is high. And when we talk about cholera, it is present in the country, but many of the times it is seasonal. It comes in during the time of the small zone rains and during the time of floods. So, every year, during this time, there are certain outbreaks that we have seen in different areas of the country. So, both diseases are there, but typhoid is like all year long—we see number of cases coming up—and for cholera, it's mainly seasonal. Capacity Building and ASM's Global Public Health Programs Capacity building is a key to everything, I must say, [whether] you talk about the training or development of materials. I've been engaged with ASM for quite some time. I worked to develop a [One Health] poster in the local language to create awareness about zoonotic diseases. So, we have targeted the 6 zoonotic diseases, including the anthrax, including the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever and influenza. And we have generated a very user-friendly kind of layout in the local language, trying to teach people about the source of transmission. What are the routes of transmission, if we talk about the CCHF? And then how this can be prevented. So, this was one approach. And then I was engaged with the development of the Learnamr.com. This is online platform with 15 different e-modules within it, and we have covered different aspects—talking about the basic bacteriology toward the advanced, standardized methods, and we have talked about the national and global strategies [to combat] AMR, One Health aspects of AMR, vaccines. So, it's a huge platform, and I'm really thankful to ASM for supporting the program for development. And it's an online module. I have seen that there are around more than 500 subscribers to this program right now, and people are learning, and they are giving good feedback to the program as well. We keep on improving ourselves, but the good thing is that people are learning, and they are able to understand the basic concepts on AMR.
