This presentation describes the suitability of Palmyra bio fence as an alternative to electric fence to mitigate the human elephant conflict. Also it provides an insight to the current activities of the respective project.
1. The document discusses preparing a research proposal and provides an overview of the process. It outlines identifying an area of interest, developing a research question and objectives, conducting a literature review, determining study design and methodology, obtaining ethical clearance, acquiring funding, managing the project, collecting and analyzing data, and disseminating findings.
2. Key components of a research proposal are identified as the introduction, justification, literature review, research question/hypotheses, objectives, methodology, budget, timeframe, limitations, and conflicts of interest.
3. The proposal development process involves identifying a problem, reviewing previous studies, formulating a hypothesis, developing a study design and instruments, obtaining necessary approvals, executing the project, analyzing
The document provides information about Chinese culture, history, and geography through multiple choice questions. It asks about topics such as the Forbidden City, the Great Wall, the Silk Road, China's capital and most common surname, the philosopher Confucius, rivers in China, Chinese dynasties and poets, and facts about the Chinese language and population.
Nuclear energy/power by Robert Salisbury.Alec Gisbert
Â
This document discusses nuclear issues from multiple perspectives. It references a speech on whether philosophy can prevent nuclear war. It also mentions peace talks and maneuvers held by the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Additionally, it notes upcoming or past anti-nuclear demonstrations in Tokyo, Germany, and Sydney, and raises concerns about depleted uranium causing human mutations.
Dr. Lakshman Gamlath, Director of the National Institute of Health Sciences, discusses 3 points in the document:
1. The importance of protecting public health in Sri Lanka.
2. The role of the National Institute of Health Sciences in disease control.
3. The need for further cooperation to strengthen health services.

There was a lecture series of Staff Motivation. Cancer is one of lecture in this series which was held at Main Auditorium of National Institute of Health Sciences by Director Dr. Lakshman Gamlath.
The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive function. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
1. Dr. Lakshman Gamlath, the Director of the National Institute of Health Sciences, discusses various topics related to health including stress, endorphins, adrenaline, and cortisol.
2. He explains the concept of "what goes around comes around" and encourages living life in a way that avoids negative consequences.
3. The document also lists "destructive seven blunders of the world" according to Mahatma Gandhi including wealth without work, pleasure without conscience, and politics without principle.
The document provides information about various topics related to Chinese culture and history. It discusses a Chinese speech contest, the poem "Mo Li Hua", details about the city of Wuhan including its history and cultural sites, and excerpts from the old Chinese poem "Tao Yao".
Philosophy and climate change (The Philosophers' Corner-Sydney-Australia)Alec Gisbert
Â
The document discusses the challenges of determining responsibility for addressing climate change. It notes that while industrialized nations have contributed most to increasing carbon emissions and warming the planet, the effects of climate change are being felt globally. This raises ethical questions around how responsibility should be allocated when impacts are collective yet emissions are unequal. The document explores options like industrialized countries providing economic support to address climate impacts, or resettling populations displaced by effects like rising sea levels.
Quantum Mechanics by Dr Steven SpencerAlec Gisbert
Â
This document provides an outline and overview of quantum mechanics and how our understanding of matter has developed over time. It discusses how classical physics no longer fully explained phenomena at the atomic and subatomic levels. Early quantum theory developed models using quanta, photons, wave-particle duality, and matrix and wave mechanics to describe the quantum realm. Later developments showed the complex and strange nature of quantum systems, including superposition, entanglement, and how observation influences outcomes. The document examines interpretations of quantum mechanics but leaves open what it ultimately means for our understanding of reality at the quantum scale.
"Making sense of LOGIC" by Tibor MolnarAlec Gisbert
Â
This document provides an overview of logic, including:
1. It discusses where logic resides conceptually, distinguishing between physical and non-physical existence and arguing that logic exists in the conceptual domain of thoughts and ideas.
2. It defines logic as a set of rules for correctly manipulating thoughts through symbolic representation and reference, regardless of whether the thoughts are about real or imaginary entities.
3. It outlines some key elements of logic, including quantifiers, connectives, statements/propositions, and material implication.
4. It discusses truth-functionality and some paradoxes that arise from material implication not aligning with intuitive understandings of conditionals.
"Hypocrisy-Revealing The Ugly Truth" by Andrew Macklin. The Philosophers Corn...Alec Gisbert
Â
The document discusses different types and definitions of hypocrisy. It defines hypocrisy as deliberately deceiving others or enacting double standards to further selfish ends. It provides examples of famous fictional hypocrites from literature and discusses how hypocrisy can grow within corrupt systems with limited checks on unethical practices, leading to issues like collusion and the system's eventual collapse. It also notes that politics requires a level of necessary hypocrisy to achieve compromise between competing interests.
This document outlines the process of conducting a literature review. It discusses finding relevant literature through various sources like journals, books, and the internet. It also describes reviewing the literature critically and writing a literature review by analyzing existing knowledge on the topic of interest. The principles of writing a literature review include describing background knowledge, comparing to other research, and designing the study method. Referencing literature must be done to avoid plagiarism and allow others to find the original sources.
Research ethics evolved in response to unethical human experimentation. The Tuskegee Syphilis Study and Nazi human experiments violated principles of informed consent and caused harm. This led to the Nuremberg Code which established standards of voluntary consent and that risks must not outweigh benefits. Subsequent declarations further developed ethical guidelines regarding subjects' rights, like privacy and confidentiality. Institutional review boards now oversee research to protect human participants.
