Designing Activity Systems Research The greatest challenge facing an Activity-Theory-based approached to researching interconnected networks and activity systems is the tension between the necessarily holistic view of “better contextuality” suggested by Kuuti‚ and the need for an appropriate level of analytic abstraction and “generalizable” research results required for the research to have utility across disciplines (as cited in Nardi‚ 1996‚ p. 22; Nardi‚ 1996‚ p.70). This tension can

Environmental Problems The environment is everything around us. It is the air‚ water‚ land‚ climate and so on.

Enzyme Catalase Activity in Reaction with the Substrate Hydrogen Peroxide Abstract We performed these experiments to observe the effects of enzymes on the rate of reactions. We tested and compared the activity of the enzyme catalase on the substrate H2O2 in various states and percentages‚ and observed the absorption values of the enzyme-substrate relationship at different concentrations. Our results show that the more substrate available‚ the quicker the reaction will happen except in one test

Environmental Protection Many centuries ago people lived in harmony with nature because industry was not much developed. There was no ecological problem until people built lots of plants and factories which sent wastes into the air‚ water and land where they didn’t disappear but lasted forever in one form or another. Nowadays people live only according to their wants and requirements‚ they ignore the laws of nature. That’s why today the contradictions between man and nature are dramatic. People

1. Environmental crime refers to crime committed against the environment. Environmental crime relates to corporate and state crime through primary crimes‚ which are crimes that are currently legal under international law. These crimes cause long lasting damage to the environment such as pollution and deforestation. One example would be the explosion in the factory in Bhopal. Emmons argues that an environmental crime is an action that breaks the national or international law. 2. Differential
