A presentation I created in college..if u are travelling to Sri Lanka, it should be of help... (Based on personal experience of a few years there)... Cheers
Sri Lanka is aĀ republicĀ and aĀ unitary stateĀ which is governed by aĀ semi-presidential systemĀ with its officialĀ seat of governmentĀ inĀ Sri Jayawardenapura - Kotte, theĀ capital.
The country is famous for the production and export ofĀ tea,Ā coffee,Ā coconuts,Ā rubber andĀ cinnamon, the last of which is native to the country.
The natural beauty of Sri Lanka has led to the titleĀ The Pearl of the Indian Ocean. The island is laden with lushĀ tropical forests, white beaches and diverse landscapes with richĀ biodiversity.
Sri Lanka's rich culture can be attributed to the many different communities on the island
Sri Lanka is a founding member state ofĀ SAARCĀ and a memberĀ United Nations,Ā Commonwealth of Nations,Ā G77Ā andĀ Non-Aligned Movement. As of 2010, Sri Lanka was one of theĀ fastest growing economiesĀ of the world. ItsĀ stock exchangeĀ was Asia's best performing stock market during 2009 and 2010
The famous explorer Marco Polo of the 12th century wrote that Sri Lanka is the finest island in the whole world. For centuries it had been a great tourism destination particularly for European travelers. The advantage of Sri Lanka as a tourism destination is threefold: it is an authentic tourism destination, it is a compact island of 65,610 square kilometers where a tourist can travel the length and breadth of the country within a few days and the diversity of the tourism product is unparalleled. As Sri Lanka is an island surrounded by sea, it is a perfect destination for a beach holiday. When the seas are rough on one side of the island there is calm water on another side. Therefore, it is a year round beach destination.
This talk covers the modern history of Sri Lanka, its status as a developing country, the decades long conflict between the Sinhalese and the Tamils, and the current trajectory of the state given efforts to reform the government, promote post-conflict reconciliation, and spur economic development through foreign assistance.

Exploring the Rich Tapestry of Sri Lankamonikadev7
Ā
Sri Lanka, often referred to as the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, is a land of mesmerizing beauty, rich history, and vibrant culture. From its ancient civilizations to its modern-day allure, this island nation has captivated travelers and scholars alike. Let's embark on a journey to discover the essence of Sri Lanka, delving into its historical heritage, geographical wonders, cultural diversity, and much more.
The current severe political and economic situation in Sri Lanka recently led to a default on debt obligations. The country's foreign exchange reserves are also nearly exhausted, which restricts its ability to purchase imports and drives up local prices for goods. This crisis has a number of root causes, and the resulting economic upheaval has led to widespread unrest and bloodshed. Some of the contributing elements to Sri Lanka's current situation are illustrated in this figure. Sri Lanka had months of turmoil due to rising prices, food and fuel shortages, and protracted power outages. As a result of the country's government being deposed, it experienced its first sovereign debt default since gaining independence from Britain in 1948. The island's foreign exchange difficulties and subsequent violent outbursts made it more challenging to raise further funds to support its tourism-based economy, which had already been severely harmed by the Covid-19 outbreak.
What steps did the government take?
The Rajapaksa administration first delayed talks with the IMF despite the economic crisis was getting worse. Opposition politicians and experts have been on the administration to act for months, but it has refused in the hope that tourism will rise. A significant chunk of public fury is directed against President Gotabaya Rajapaksa and his brother, former Prime Minister Mahinda Rajapaksa. When the president banned the import of synthetic fertilizers in April 2021, the supply of the country's key rice crop was wiped out, driving up rice prices. The administration eventually turned to China and India, two regional powerhouses vying for control of the island. According to India, it has sent more than $3.5 billion in aid this year. China made less public interventions but stated that it supported the country's debt-restructuring initiatives
Hstory about Ghana
Ghana, officially the Republic of Ghana, is a country located along the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean, in the subregion of West Africa. Spanning a land mass of 238,535 km2, Ghana is bordered by the Ivory Coast in the west, Burkina Faso in the north, Togo in the east, and the Gulf of Guinea and Atlantic Ocean in the south. Ghana means "Warrior King" in the Soninke language. Ghana was already recognized as one of the great kingdoms in Bilad el-Sudan by the ninth century. Ghana was inhabited in the Middle Ages and the Age of Discovery by a number of ancient predominantly Akan kingdoms in the Southern and Central territories.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Ā
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
Ā
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Characterization and the Kinetics of drying at the drying oven and with micro...Open Access Research Paper
Ā
The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70Ā°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50Ā°C at 70Ā°C and between 4.83Ć10-07 at 9.04Ć10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Ā
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organismsā complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.
