References 4 Conclusion The primary thrust of this course has been to emphasise the need for all organisations to acknowledge the influence of their environments and, in turn, the impact of organisations on their context. We have argued that the commercial environment is characterised primarily by the growing trend toward globalisation. To a much greater extent than ever before we live in a global village where goods and services will be produced wherever they can be provided at the least cost. Consumers in the West Learning outcomes After studying this course, you should be able to: demonstrate a greater awareness of science-based issues of public importance demonstrate a greater insight into the phrase ‘the public understanding of science’ demonstrate a raised awareness of the ways in which the public can be consulted in relation to science policy issues think of ways in which the public might in future become more engaged in decision-making about science th 8.4.1 Plan your use of problem-solving skills and select methods Exploring and planning an activity often results in different options, possibilities and ways forward. Some approaches will be more feasible or will interest you more than others. At this stage you need to think about how you will be using your problem-solving skills and how you will assess the overall quality of your work. To help you make these decisions, you may find tools such as concept maps or critical-path analysis helpful in representing the different parts of the problem-solving acti WGS.101 Introduction to Women's and Gender Studies (MIT) Inaugural Sir William Tyree Energy Lecture - Professor Robert Hill on anthropogenic climate change. 1.3 Reflection and course study Many of the units on the OpenLearn website include self-assessment questions and activities designed to require you to stop and think, sometimes to take action. This is also true of many Open University courses because Open University course teams typically want students to question what they read and to try out ideas for themselves. Every time you pause to do your own thinking in this way, you are reflecting on what you have learnt. This course includes several activities that are spec 1.4.1 Nature of the pact With the advent of EMU and the Euro the question of the SGP embodied in the Amsterdam Treaty of 1997 was raised once again (Linter, 2001, p. 68). This pact is designed to ensure that EU member states’ fiscal policies (involving government taxation and expenditure decisions) do not clash with their monetary policies (or, in the case of the Euro-zone countries, with the monetary policy pursued by the ECB). As we have seen, by and large, the monetary policy pursued by the ECB is Virtual Maths - 2D Shapes, elipse 6 Audio clip 5: Alex Zinga At the time of the interview, Alex Zinga had recently turned 60.

Her brother-in-law, Paul, only got the lower level of Disablility Living Allowance. Diane pointed out that, if he'd been assessed before she intervened, he might have got a higher amount. John Avery said that Mr Asghar got Attendance Allowance. He thought he wouldn't be able to get Invalid Care Allowance, as this would affect his benefits. Enid Francis' so 4.3 Summary of accurate law reporting This section stressed the importance of accurate law reporting which allows for legal principles to be collated, identified and accessed. I examined where you might locate case reports on particular areas of the law. These are: Year Books (1275–1535) Private reports (1535–1865) Modern reports (1865 to present) The Law Reports Weekly Law Reports (citation WLR) All England Law Quick Q Virtual Maths - Numbers, 2D Triangle simulation tool Web Site Evaluation Learning the Moves of Successful Startups 5.2 Doing and undoing Now try the following. Think of a number. Add 4. If my answer is 11, can you work out what number I was thinking of? You might have said ‘What number do I have to add on to 4 to get 11?’ or perhaps ‘If I take away 4 from 11 what number do I get?’ In both cases you should have arrived at the answer 7. In the second method ‘subtracting 4’ undoes the ‘adding 4’ in the original instructions. This process can be illustrated by a ‘doing–undoing diagram’ Four rare white tiger cubs born in Crimea zoo 4 Other influences on evolution One of the crucial conditions for natural selection to occur is that there must be variation. However, it is extremely important to appreciate that natural selection does not itself cause that variation; it simply acts on existing variation. The processes that do bring about variation are therefore major components of evolution. The most important of these processes, because it is really the ultimate source of all variation, is mutation. A mutation is an alteration in the geneti Arctic Mammal Fossils and Forests of 50 Million Years Ago
This course offers an introduction to Women's and Gender Studies, an interdisciplinary field that asks critical questions about the meanings of sex and gender in society. The primary goal of this course is to familiarize students with key issues, questions and debates in Women's and Gender Studies, both historical and contemporary. Gender studies scholarship critically analyzes themes of gendered performance and power in a range of social spheres, such as education, law, culture, work, medi
Delivering the inaugural Sir William Tyree Energy Lecture, the Honourable Professor Robert Hill AC explores how the global community should respond to anthropogenic climate change.
The Sir William Tyree Energy Lecture is named in honour of one of Australia's great engineers, industrialists and philanthropists. Sir William Tyree was passionate about energy research and the need to promote open and honest dialogue about our energy future.

Q methodology is a technique for modelling viewpoints, that was developed by William Stephenson (1902-1989). This animation, intended for a general audience, provides a short non-technical introduction to the methodology, outlining the different stages involved in conducting a Q study. The animation was funded by the UK Higher Education Academy, as part of the National Teaching Fellow 'Assessing Students at Masters level' project, Assimilate.

Note: French captions. The Arctic was a warm, wet, swampy, forested place 50 million years ago. Ellesmere Island is a key fossil site in Canada's High Arctic, where the remains of unique mammal species can tell us what the environment and animals of the Eocene Epoch were like. Scientists are studying these fossils to better understand our warming planet. (03:42)
