Environmental Engineering (What is noise pollution)Latif Hyder Wadho
Any unwanted sound that penetrates the environment is considered noise pollution, which comes from sources like street traffic, construction, airplanes, and consumer products. The normal tolerance level for noise is 80dB, with sounds above or below being pollution. Noise pollution can damage hair cells in the ear and lead to irreversible hearing loss over time. It also increases blood pressure and interferes with animal behaviors. Governments have established laws to regulate industrial, commercial, and residential noise levels as well as limit sounds during night hours to reduce noise pollution. Individual actions like observing car-free days and creating awareness can help address the issue.
1) Air and noise pollution are increasing problems worldwide. Air pollution causes 7 million deaths annually according to the WHO. India's cities experience high levels of particulate matter pollution.
2) Major air pollutants include nitrogen dioxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide, and particulate matter which can cause respiratory and cardiovascular issues in humans. They are emitted from sources like vehicles, power plants, and industry.
3) Noise pollution is also a growing issue, mainly from vehicles. It can cause hearing loss and cardiovascular stress. India lacks sufficient monitoring of noise pollution. Actions are needed to control pollution and increase public awareness of its impacts.

Commodities are considered a separate asset class from stocks and bonds because their pricing is driven by different factors like supply and demand. Commodities are traded through exchanges using futures contracts which help reduce risks like counterparty risk and credit risk compared to forwards. Investors can participate in commodities markets as hedgers to reduce price risk, speculators to profit from price changes, or arbitrageurs seeking opportunities from pricing differences. Commodity indices track overall price movements and allow for derivative trading and easier investment compared to physical commodities.
This document defines commodity derivatives and provides examples of their use. Commodity derivatives are contracts whose value is derived from underlying commodities like metals, agricultural products, and energy. The two main types are futures contracts, which obligate buyers and sellers to transact at a predetermined price on a future date, and options contracts, which give the holder the right but not obligation to buy or sell at a specified price by a certain date. Commodity derivatives help farmers, producers, and consumers manage risks from price fluctuations and provide investment opportunities for speculators.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
