The paper provides reading response of two studies entitled as “Taming the Jungle, Saving the Maya Forest: Sedimented Counterinsurgency Practices in Contemporary Guatemalan” written by Megan Yabrra and “Bio-ironies of the Fractured Forest: India's Tiger Reserves” by Paul Greenough. Megan Yabrra conducted a study to identify the importance of historically sedimented military practice for protection in the contemporary Guatemala. The author argues that the military has tamped dangerous jungles for managing its counterinsurgency campaigns. The military has used forest and jungle discourses for achieving success in their territorial projects. The author argues that the use of jungle has violated ...

Forces of nature shape the surface of the earth, but there are also the manmade industries that can largely reform and alter the landforms. Quarrying is also one of the men invented industry that has a different impact on the people and the environment at large. Focusing on the problems associated with the environmental effects, it can largely impact the health of the people through inhalation of dust and listening to loud, noisy sounds. Indirect problems of the quarrying include the calamities that can cause greater damages such as through land sliding and flash floods. Major negative effects of ...

Although in terms of the scale it was smaller than the previous four, ...

Abstract

The experiment was performed to analyze the outcomes of temperature on the ability of fungal and bacterial amylase to breakdown starch to maltose. Therefore, the study will reveal the optimal temperature for amylase activity. The initial steps include preparing the materials and tools used during the experiment. A timetable for comparing temperature and function was generated. Test tubes and plates were properly labeled. Iodine was needed for every spot plate so that the fungal amylase, bacterial amylase, fungal amylase and the starch solution can be added to the iodine in a time and temperature dependent fashion. Observing ...

Geographical Perspectives of Brisbane 2026

Introduction

In many western countries, as well as in Australia, city planners consider urban consolidation so as to achieve a compact urban form as a good strategy to manage urban growth as well as to contain urban sprawl (Freeman, 2001).
