Tropical coral reefs cover an area of over 284 000 km2, providing habitat for thousands of species and yielding more than US$ 30 billion annually in global goods and services, such as coastline protection, tourism and food. Corals reefs are now threatened by the increasing concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, while warmer sea temperatures are disturbing the delicate symbiosis between coral organisms and algae. For example, 16 per cent of all tropical coral reefs were killed off by thermal stress during a single extreme El Niño–Southern Oscillation event in 1997–1998. As a result of escalating atmospheric levels of carbon dioxide, more of this gas is being dissolved in the world’s oceans. This has already reduced ocean pH and the trend is projected to continue. Moreover, the altered ocean chemistry is expected to have major corrosive effects on marine ecosystems and to alter the calcification rates of corals, phytoplankton and other species.

IMPACT OF GLOBAL WARMING ON AQUATIC FLORA AND FAUNAMahendra Pal
A rise in temperature as small as 1° C could have important and rapid effects on the geographical distributions and mortality of some organisms. The more mobile species should be able to adjust their ranges over time, but less mobile and sedentary species may not.There are many factors that can cause a warming of our climate; for example, more energy from the sun, large natural events such as El Nino or an increased greenhouse effect. Rising temperatures can directly affect the metabolism, life cycle, and behaviour of marine species. For many species, temperature serves as a cue for reproduction. Clearly, changes in sea temperature could affect their successful breeding. The number of male and female offspring is determined by temperature for marine turtles, as well as some fish and copepods (tiny shrimp-like animals on which many other marine animals feed). Changing climate could therefore skew sex ratios and threaten population survival.

Neuroscience: The Importance of Mentorship by Dr. Wendy A. Suzuky United States
SCIENCE MENTOR: Marian was not only my science mentor, she was an extraordinary teacher and role model. But what I have come to realize in the years since I graduated from college is that one of the biggest lessons I learned from her didn’t reveal itself until long after I graduated.

Human Energy Field and DNA by Cell Biologist and Visionary ~ Bruce Lipton, Ph.DUnited States
Albert Einstein believed we are “Vibrational Beings living in a Vibrational
Universe. Our world as we experience it is Actually a world of Frequency.” AndNikola Tesla, world recognized electrical engineer, physicist, and visionary stated: “If you wish to understand the Universe, think Energy, Frequency and Vibration.” Our thoughts and perceptions translate into Vibrational Frequencies. The expression of our DNA is primarily determined by these frequencies generated and based on the way we view ourselves, our thoughts and beliefs as well as our environment.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Securing a better future for the oceans and for people
1. “SECURING A BETTER FUTURE FOR THE OCEANS AND
FOR PEOPLE” Published by Brigitte Perreault
This imbalance was recently recognised by the UK High Court which gave the green light for a
full judicial review into whether the UK fishing quota allocation system is lawful under new
European law. Just as all the world’s oceans are one, the challenges of fishermen and women
worldwide are interlinked, as is their future. A win for low-impact workers in the UK fishing
industry could have far-reaching consequences for other EU countries. In turn, changes in
European fisheries will impact upon the rest of the world. Undeniably, there is still a long way
to go before we can embrace the notion of healthy and vibrant oceans, and it is not only the
impacts of fishing that must be brought under control. From the deepest oceans to the icy
waters of the Arctic, governments and corporations are racing to exploit the last living resource,
the last drop of oil, the last minerals hidden in the seabed. All while climate change and rising
carbon dioxide emissions are pushing ocean ecosystems further towards the brink of
destruction. The science is clear that we urgently need to set aside a global network of large-
scale ocean sanctuaries, to allow the oceans the space and time to recover, but still less than
1% of the world's oceans are fully protected.
In both Senegal and Europe, changes came about because peoples' voices became so powerful
that they could not be ignored. Together, with millions of people across the world who love the
oceans, Greenpeace will continue to bring citizen power to the forefront. Together, we can
secure healthy oceans and a sustainable and fair future for all who depend on them.
