After receiving a university education in Britain, Suu Kyi returned to Burma in $1988$ where she became a courageous foe of the military regime.

Palm oil is one of the world's most versatile raw materials. It is estimated that it is an ingredient in $50 \%$ of all products sold by a typical supermarket. It is used in a wide range of products from margarine, cereals, crisps, sweets and baked goods to soaps, washing powders and cosmetics but it is often listed as just 'vegetable oil'. So, its production benefits customers of these products. In addition, an estimated $1.5$ million small farmers grow the crop in Indonesia, along with about $500000$ people directly employed in the sector in Malaysia, plus those connected with related industries. The governments of these countries have encouraged production as it is a major export for these economies.

However, the industry has a poor image. Palm oil production has led to deforestation with a resulting negative impact on climate change. There has been substantial loss of wildlife habitat, even endangering the orangutan. Palm oil companies have been accused by community groups of driving native people off their land which is then used for palm oil production. Socially responsible businesses, such as KL Kepong in Malaysia, have agreed to an ethical code which aims to make palm oil production 'sustainable' with fair treatment for all local populations affected by it. However, many companies have been accused of breaking the code as there is no strong world body to stop them behaving irresponsibly. In any case, food manufacturers want to maximise profits and final consumers want the cheapest raw materials possible.

Analyse the impact on these two stakeholder groups of a decision by KL Kepong to close one of its palm oil plantations

Design a controlled experiment to demonstrate that birds do not spontaneously generate on bird feeders.

In your opinion, do unions have a useful, even necessary, role to play in the modern American economy? How do you think unions affect the current economy? In what ways might the economy be improved if unions were stronger, or how might the economy be weakened by more unionization? Defend your point of view with facts and evidence in a one-page paper.

The resolution limit of a microscope is roughly equal to the wavelength of light used in producing the image . Electron microscopes use an electron beam (in place of photons) to produce much higher resolution ima ges, about 0.20 nm in modern instruments. Assuming that the resolution of an electron microscope is equal to the de Broglie wavelength of the electrons used, to what speed must the electrons be accelerated to obtain a resolution of 0.20 nm?

Experiment Design an experiment to show that the process of respiration occurs in living yeast cells.

The General Social Survey asks questions about one's happiness in marriage. Is there an association between gender and happiness in marriage? Use the data in the table to determine if gender is associated with happiness in marriage. Treat gender as the explanatory variable.

$$\begin{matrix} \text{ } & \text{Male} & \text{Female} & \text{Total}\\ \text{Very happy} & \text{7690} & \text{7942} & \text{15551}\\ \text{Pretty happy} & \text{3738} & \text{4447} & \text{8185}\\ \text{Not too happy} & \text{259} & \text{460} & \text{719}\\ \text{Total} & \text{11606} & \text{12849} & \text{24455}\\ \end{matrix}$$

William Prout (1815) proposed that all other atoms are built up of hydrogen atoms, suggesting that all elements should have integral atomic masses based on an atomic mass of one for hydrogen. This hypothesis appeared discredited by the discovery of atomic masses, such as $24.3 \mathrm{u}$ for magnesium and $35.5 \mathrm{u}$ for chlorine. In terms of modern knowledge, explain why Prout's hypothesis is actually quite reasonable.
