Coral bleaching occurs when corals expel the algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. There are three main causes of coral bleaching: high water temperatures, water pollution from various sources, and oxygen starvation. Five proposed solutions to coral bleaching are reducing emissions to lower ocean temperatures, being aware of pollutants used near water sources, cleaning up marine debris, planting trees, and being careful when interacting with coral reefs.
The document discusses shark protection and outlines the situation, reasons for protecting sharks, and proposed solutions. Regarding the situation, it notes that about 100 million sharks are killed each year for their fins and meat, with demand growing rapidly. Reasons for protecting sharks include that some species have declined or are nearly extinct due to overexploitation and lack of management. Sharks also play an important role in the ecosystem and have value for medical research. Proposed solutions discussed include bans on shark fishing and fins, regulations on shark finning, marine protected areas, public education campaigns, and individual actions like not using shark products and spreading awareness.
Overfishing occurs when more fish are caught than the population can replace through natural reproduction. It is caused by open access fisheries, poor fisheries management, and illegal fishing. The effects of overfishing include marine life imbalance and decreased food security. Potential solutions involve implementing safe catch limits, controlling bycatch, protecting important habitats, and increasing monitoring and enforcement.
Germany is transitioning to renewable energy sources and aims to generate 35% of its energy from renewables by 2020, 50% by 2030, and over 80% by 2050. It is shutting down nuclear power by 2022 and cutting carbon emissions significantly. Renewable sources like wind and solar generated over 100 terawatt hours of electricity in Germany in 2016. Renewable energy has advantages like job growth, no waste, and lower long-term costs, but also challenges such as high upfront costs, intermittency, and land use requirements.
Land desertification is a serious problem in China, where desert covers over 27% of the country and continues expanding each year. It is caused by both climate factors like reduced rainfall as well as human activities such as overgrazing, deforestation, and unsustainable farming. To address this issue, China is taking environmental measures like planting desert plants and installing sand barriers, as well as political solutions like developing alternative industries and improving environmental education. If left unaddressed, desertification puts over 400 million people at risk.

Using Ansoff's Grid, it analyzes Nokia's strategies over this period, such as using market penetration during their sales boom and diversifying into mobile phones from other industries in 1987.
This document provides an analysis of the case "Garfield & Ruddock - Strategic Marketing in Action: BCG Matrix". It summarizes the situation facing the publisher Garfield & Ruddock, who has a biology textbook by S.T. McCauliffe that has considerable market share but a new textbook called "Biology in Action" by Sara Spencer that has great potential to help the company expand its market. It analyzes the books in the BCG matrix, finding that McCauliffe's book was previously a star but is now a cash cow, while Spencer's book was a question mark but could become a star if launched properly by another small publisher at a higher price point, targeting AS/A LEVEL students
Network Rail is responsible for maintaining and renewing Britain's rail infrastructure. It is regulated by the government and must provide value for taxpayers' money. A PEST analysis was conducted to understand the political, economic, social, and technological factors affecting Network Rail. Politically, it must comply with safety regulations and meet national transport needs. Economically, it receives income from train operators and taxpayers, but price increases can be unpopular. Socially, it employs over 32,000 people and must consider noise pollution and community benefits. Technologically, Network Rail spends £3 billion annually on new technologies to increase efficiency, capacity, and safety.
Marie Curie was born in Warsaw, Poland in 1867. She studied physics and mathematics in Paris, becoming the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize in 1903 for her research on radioactivity. She discovered the elements radium and polonium. Throughout her career, she overcame societal barriers as a female scientist. Her research revolutionized the field of physics and laid the foundations of modern oncology. She established several research institutions that still operate today under her name. Marie Curie died in 1934 from aplastic anemia caused by exposure to radiation during her scientific work.
Nikola Tesla was a physicist, mechanical and electrical engineer, and inventor born during a thunderstorm in 1856 in Croatia. He made many important contributions including developing alternating current electric power systems, the induction motor, and wireless transmission of electricity. Some of his other notable inventions and discoveries included radio, wireless communication, the Tesla coil, and discovering terrestrial stationary waves. Later in life he worked on projects like Wardenclyffe Tower to transmit wireless electricity but faced financial difficulties. He was a brilliant and eccentric inventor who spent his life dedicated to his work.
Alan Turing was a pioneering computer scientist who made fundamental contributions to artificial intelligence and the field of computer science. He defined the concept of an algorithm and developed the Turing machine, laying the foundations for the digital computer. During World War II, Turing worked at Britain's codebreaking center and cracked the German Enigma cipher, helping the Allies win the war. However, as a gay man in 1950s Britain, Turing was prosecuted for his homosexuality and chemically castrated, which led to his tragic death two years later at the young age of 41. Though he faced great adversity, Turing's revolutionary ideas transformed technology and shaped the modern world.

Charles Darwin was born in 1809 in England and studied natural history at the University of Edinburgh. From 1831-1836, he served as the naturalist on the HMS Beagle expedition, during which he visited the Galapagos Islands and began developing his theory of evolution by natural selection. After returning to England, Darwin published On the Origin of Species in 1859, in which he explained how species evolved over generations through the mechanisms of variation, inheritance, and the selection of beneficial traits. Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection was highly controversial and debated both by religious groups and fellow scientists.
