Efforts were made to include the strong nuclear force through grand unified theories, but requiring extremely high energies. String theory is now the leading approach to achieve a theory of everything by unifying gravity with other forces. Further experiments are still needed to fully test theories and achieve unification.
Creating Mongolia's First Social Impact Investment Fund
In GIFT's 28th YLP, 30 executives from 11 countries spent two weeks in Hong Kong and Mongolia, and crafted an initial blueprint for the first ever impact investment fund to be set up in Mongolia. Of the 30 participants, six came from Mongolia, holding senior level positions in organisations such as Oyu Tolgoi LLC, the Ministry of Finance, XacBank, Monet Capital and Inter Group. Other companies represented included Orix, NEC, DuPont, Bosch, DBS Bank, and BASF. The diversity in participant cultures, backgrounds, and work experience added dynamism and fresh perspectives in achieving project goals. The programme was conducted in close partnership with TenGer Financial Group, a regional family of companies leading the way in providing fair access to broad and inclusive financial services in Mongolia.

Biomimicry: when mother nature inspires true innovation
Humans represent a tiny fraction of all life on Earth at only 0.004% of the total biomass. While small in number, humans have had an outsized impact through our use of technology to transform landscapes and alter natural environments all over the world. Our actions have caused mass extinctions and the loss of natural habitats that supported more biologically diverse ecosystems.
Business Cycle presentation
This presentation is based on the business cycle as a whole and its effects in the employment, production, inflation as well as government interference.
Acute respiratory infection control and prevention
The document discusses acute respiratory infection (ARI) control and prevention. It recommends improving primary healthcare services and early detection, treatment, and prevention of ARI as the best way to control it. Education of mothers is also important since compliance with treatment and seeking proper care determines disease outcomes. The World Health Organization's recommendations for ARI management include clinical assessment of symptoms, physical examination of respiratory rate, chest indrawing, stridor, wheezing, fever, and malnutrition. Control programs focus on identifying children with ARI at the community level and instituting appropriate antibiotic therapy. Prevention strategies include breastfeeding, immunizations, good nutrition, and reducing indoor air pollution.
Sulfur cycle
Sulfur is an abundant yellow solid element that cycles through the environment in rocks, soil, oceans, atmosphere and living things. The sulfur cycle involves weathering of rocks, uptake by plants and organisms, release through decomposition, emission from natural and human sources, and settling back into the earth or oceans. The sulfur cycle regulates sulfur levels and prevents acid rain, but human emissions have increased atmospheric sulfur and contributed to issues like acid rain and smog.

Narrative Theory
- 1. Narrative Theory Todorov Vladimir Propp Claude Levi-Strauss
- 2. TODOROV • There are 5 stages to this narrative theory: • Equilibrium • Disequilibrium • Recognition • Reparation • New Equilibrium
- 3. Equilibrium • A period in time where everything is running smoothly and steadily. • The characters are at peace.
- 4. Disequilibrium • Where the circumstances change and the period in time because unsettled, and weary. • A problem starts to arise, and becomes bigger (eg, a confrontation between characters)
- 5. Recognition • The circumstances change again for the better, as the protagonists ( the main characters) start to find and make peace after ‘the storm.’
- 6. Reparation • The reparation is where the circumstances start to resolve themselves.
- 7. New Equilibrium • This is where all the problems are finally restored and the character’s live are back to normal, generally concluding in a ‘happy ending.’
- 8. VLADIMIR PROPP • Formed in the twentieth century. • Vladimir studies Russian fairytales. • Found eight main kinds of characters.
- 9. 8 Types of Characters • The villain • The princess • The hero • The donor • The fake hero • The princess’ dad • The helper • The dispatcher
- 10. Character’s Roles.... • EACH CHARACTER HAS A SPHERE OF ACTION • Any character can do anything to another character, regardless of status
- 11. CLAUDE LEVI-STRAUSS • Based around binary opposition. • Example, good and evil. • Two characters (protagonists) can be fighting - one for good, one for bad. • This can be turned into a metaphor for representations of certain values and messages for the audience. • The right side is to represent dominant values, and the bad side is to represent dominant values of how it’s bad to go against dominant values.
- 12. TYPES OF NARRATION • OMNISCIENT NARRATION • Where there is not only spot-lighted on one single character. • The audience find out things which they would rather not, “involuntarily.” • Therefore the audience would know more than the character. • This creates tension and suspense. • In English, this would be regarded as ‘dramatic irony’.
