How graduates can help students gain vital careers skills – a presentation by Professor Ella Ritchie, Deputy Vice-Chancellor at Newcastle University, at Convocation Weekend (18 June 2011).
The document discusses changing views on aging and increasing life expectancy. Traditionally, aging was seen as a biological process of decline, but research now shows it is more malleable. As lifespans increase, aging is now routine rather than a rarity. Studies also find we are programmed for survival, not death, and aging results from accumulated damage over time. This challenges the view that aging inevitably leads to loss of health and greater costs for societies. The document advocates research and interventions to promote healthy aging and maximize later life.

2015 04 adobe_higher education on finlandMetropolia
Higher education in Finland is tuition-free and considered a basic right. It is offered through both universities and polytechnics. Universities focus on academic research and offer bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees, while polytechnics provide vocational education and applied research. Both universities and polytechnics are publicly funded through tax revenue, with the government setting targets and allocating resources to universities and providing core funding to polytechnics based on student enrollment. However, funding cuts in recent years have reduced resources, forcing staff reductions of around 500 employees at the University of Helsinki alone.

Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
