BBU Virus spreads cross Phnom Penh
Posted by vutha on Friday, August 25th 200625
AugAccording to the Cambodia Daily, this is ever first-virus made by Cambodian student between 2004 and 2005. And it infected computers throughout Phnom Penh and some provinces. It’s name is BBU Virus, which stands for Building Bright University.
BBU virus was invented by Ngov Seng Vannak from Kampong Chhnang province. Nowadays, he is studying Computer Science major at Build Bright University. After designing the virus, he tested it on University computers and then it attacked all school computers.
Vannak also made an agreement with University rector not to test virus on school computer and released it into the public domain. He said that he is now studying all the textbook and the creation of the virus was just way to learn more about computer. In addition, it does not harm.
BBU information Teacher was quoted as saying that he is not pleased by the news that the virus has spread. Adding that the University does not teach students how to invent viruses because it won’t help them to get jobs and he also criticised the quality of Ngov Seng Vannak’s brainchild.

Prevalence of obesity worldwide
The prevalence of obesity is increasing worldwide (Figure 1), including in some developing countries with previously very low prevalences (WHO, 1998). The result of chronic positive energy balance, obesity is associated with many chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension and some forms of cancer (WHO, 1998). It is particularly important to determine those factors that influence the prevalence of obesity in developing countries since these countries generally lack the infrastructure to treat the chronic diseases associated with obesity adequately. In this article, the aetiology of obesity in developing countries is described and the policy and economic implications of the increasing prevalence of obesity in transitional countries are discussed.

Possible causes of obesity in developing countries
The World Health Organization defines obesity as "a condition of abnormal or excessive fat accumulation in adipose tissue, to the extent that health may be impaired" (WHO, 1998). Chronic positive energy balance normally precipitates the accumulation of excess adipose tissue. This positive energy balance is believed to be influenced by a number of environmental and physiological factors, such as high-fat diets and/or decreased physical activity. The specific causes of obesity are beyond the scope of this paper and detailed reviews are available in both scientific review articles and textbooks (Rosenbaum, Leibel and Hirsch, 1997; Bray, Bouchard and James, 1998). How these factors are manifested in developing countries is central to the recent increase of obesity in countries undergoing an economic transition.
As the economies of developing countries continue to improve, the risk of becoming obese increases across all socio-economic classes as a result of improved access to food, decreased physical activity, and the consumption of "western" diets (Popkin, 1993; Ca -

This show of how and when the Ebola virus were first organize and a lot of information about the Ebola virus in Africa
-
Ebola virus infections were first recognized in 1976, when simultaneous but separate outbreaks of human disease caused by two distinct virus subtypes erupted in northern Zaire and southern Sudan (4) and resulted in hundreds of deaths. The Zaire subtype of Ebola virus had a higher case-fatality, nearly 90%, while the Sudan subtype had a case-fatality rate of approximately 50%. Before 1995, the last identified outbreak of Ebola disease in Africa occurred in 1979, when the Sudan subtype of Ebola virus infected 34 persons (5). In late 1989, in Reston, Virginia, a novel Ebola virus infected a colony of cynomolgus macaques that had been imported from the Philippines (6). The new virus, named Reston virus, was shown by researchers at the Centers for disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to be antigenically and genetically distinct from the African Ebola viruses, yet despite its high pathogenicity for nonhuman primates, it did not appear to cause disease in humans. Several persons who handled the infected animals developed antibody to Ebola virus but showed no signs of disease; one of these persons was infected while performing an autopsy on an animal that had died of a Reston virus infection. In 1992, a repeat of the 1989 Reston episode occurred in Siena, Italy when macaques were received from the same Philippine exporter; no evidence of a human infection was found (7). The new Ebola virus recently isolated from a patient in the Côte d'Ivoire has been shown to be genetically distinct from previous Ebola isolates (A. Sanchez, unpublished data) and is the first evidence of Ebola virus in West Africa.
