Climate Change

Climate Change is the global variation in the Earth's climate. These changes can be caused by processes internal to the Earth, external forces or human activities. However, the influence that our activities have on the planet is called global warming. Because of this, the temperature has increased two degrees in the last thirty years and it will go on increasing in the future if we don't do anything. On the one hand, thousands of people have some responsibility for this change, but on the other hand there are other reasons, as for example: The greenhouse effect, To burn fossil's combustibles, The felling and burning of trees, The pollution that is caused by cars and factories.

Fundamental Ecological and Biological Concepts

Biodiversity: The Variety of Life

Biodiversity refers to the varying or different life forms found on Earth. It encompasses several types:

• Genetic Diversity: The variety of genetic materials within a species or a population.
• Species Diversity: The number and abundance of species present in different communities.
• Functional Diversity: The biological and chemical processes, such as energy flow and matter recycling, needed for the survival of species, communities, and ecosystems.
• Ecological Diversity: The variety of terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems found in an area or on the Earth.

Everyone has their own preferences regarding country life and city life. Both obviously have their advantages and disadvantages. Understanding these can help you make an informed decision about where to settle.

Advantages of Country Life

• Nature and Environment: Among the advantages of living in the countryside, nature must be mentioned. This includes uncontaminated air, quaint landscapes, abundant animals, and a generally peaceful environment.
• Slower Pace of Life: Additionally, time in the countryside often feels slower than in the city. Individuals can work at their own pace, free from the constant rush and pressure of urban environments.
• Strong Community Bonds: Relationships among country inhabitants are usually very good. People know each other

Disadvantages of Rural Living

• Limited Access to Amenities: The same goes

Zika is a mosquito-borne disease transmitted by the same mosquito that carries the dengue virus. There have also been cases of transmission through sexual intercourse.

Transmission

Most people get Zika from a mosquito bite. Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on the blood of a person already infected with the virus, and when they bite others, they can transmit the virus. Other forms of transmission include:

• A pregnant woman can pass the Zika virus to her fetus during pregnancy or at the time of birth.
• Zika can also be transmitted through sexual intercourse and blood transfusion.

Symptoms

Zika can cause incomplete brain development in fetuses. Common symptoms include fever, rash, joint pain, and conjunctivitis.

Binding Constraint: LHS equals to RHS at optimal ;  Non-binding constraint: LHS is not equal to RHS at optimal

Shadow Price: Amount by which OFV changes if RHS is increased by one unit

Basic Variable: A decision variable which has non-zero value at optimal ;  Non-basic Value: A decision variable which has a value of zero at optimal

Reduced cost: Amount by which the objective function coefficient needs to be decreased before the variable becomes basic

• Basic var: "Final Value" >0 and "Reduced cost"=0; With allow inc/dec, optimal solution (Final Value) doesn't change, OFV change by (change)*(Final Value); Beyond allow inc/dec, optimal solution and OFV changes by RESOLVE.
• Non basic var:  "Final Value"=0 and "Reduced cost"≠0; In a MIN,"Reduced

Noun: A noun is a word that identifies a person, animal, place, thing, or idea.

Concrete nouns are the names of things or people that we experience through our senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, or taste. Most nouns are concrete nouns.

For example:

Cats, dogs, tables, chairs, buses, and teachers are all concrete nouns.

Nouns name people, places, and things.

Abstract nouns cannot be detected by your five senses. You cannot see them, hear them, smell them, taste them, or feel them. Examples include dedication, destruction, curiosity, happiness, intelligence, and loyalty.

Proper nouns have two distinct features: They name specific, one-of-a-kind items, and they begin with capital letters, no matter where they occur within a sentence.
