Religion and Theology

Most religious leaders from all three Abrahamic traditions condemned the 2002 Bush Doctrine of “preemptive military action” (justifying the

invasion of Iraq) as failing to meet the criteria of just war theory. Obama has not evoked the Bush Doctrine, but he has not revoked it either.

Interestingly, none of the presidential candidates in the 2016 election addressed it either, except obliquely when Sanders reminded people that

he led the resistance to the invasion of Iraq in Congress, and Trump reminded people that he opposed the invasion. Beyond that, there is a

curious silence in spite of generalized comments about how tough the candidates will be on ISIS. No one has moved beyond surface talking points

to the underlying philosophical principles that should guide the use of military force.

In light of your understanding of just war theory, why might the religious leaders and others charge that the Bush Doctrine failed the test? Do

you agree or disagree with them? Why or why not?

FREFC assignment 1: Critical evaluation of an Extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey

For the original assignment in the 7LFS1037 EC module you were required, as an ecological consultant, to conduct an ecological appraisal of the

Bayfordbury Field Station site near Hertford. The site had been purchased by a theoretical developer and a housing development planned. An

extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey report was produced to assess the value of the site for wildlife and the possible impacts of the development.
For this FREFC assignment you are required to apply the knowledge and understanding gained while undertaking the extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey

of Bayfordbury, to critically evaluate the content of ONE of the extended Phase 1 Habitat Survey reports provided:
• FREFC Oct 2017_Extended Phase 1 report_Swarkstone Quarry
• FREFC Oct 2017_Extended Phase 1 report_Helmshore
• FREFC Oct 2017_Extended Phase 1 report_Bicton College 2013
You should refer to the CIEEM Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal (you will have consulted this document previously for the original

Bayfordbury assignment) when you undertake this evaluation. For example, does the report include an adequate evaluation of key factors such as

(but not limited to):
• habitats on site and in the surrounding area (e.g. is a sufficiently detailed Phase 1 map included?)
• connectivity of the site (including aerial photos or reference to them)
• designations of neighbouring areas (e.g. within 5 km)
• protected species or BAP species recorded in the local area (e.g. within 10 km)
• current management of the site
• the potential for protected species on site
• recommended requirements for Phase 2 surveys
It is suggested that you use online resources to investigate the location of the chosen Phase 1 site report (the location will be given in the

report) in its evaluation. For example OS maps, Google Earth, National Biodiversity Network (www.searchnbn.net), Magic map (www.magic.gov.uk)

and Nature on the map (www.natureonthemap.org.uk) for designated sites.
An evaluation of individual sections of the chosen extended Phase 1 report should be undertaken with reference to the guidance provided in the

CIEEM Guidelines for Preliminary Ecological Appraisal, to include: summary, introduction, methods, results, discussion, recommendations,

references and appendices.
Word limit: 1500 words (excluding tables, references and appendices).

EGG OSMOSIS LAB

EGG OSMOSIS LAB INSTRUCTIONS
READ THE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE YOU START! The data you record in this lab will be used
to create your lab report that is worth 20 points of your lab grade!
Purpose
Determine (by calculation) the isotonic point and concentration of an unknown sucrose solution based
on graphed data.
Objectives
Demonstrate an understanding of homeostasis and its importance in the functioning of the human
body systems (chapter 1)
Explain how the properties of water make it vital to homeostasis (chapter 2)
Compare the mechanisms by which substances enter and exit the cell (chapter 3)
Collect data and analyze the results of physiological experiments, using the Scientific Method
Materials
2 de-shelled eggs
2 beakers, each containing the same concentration of sucrose
Scale
Weigh Boat
Paper Towels
Timer (Set to 15 minutes)
Recorder (one person will write down the weights in a journal and then enters them into the group
record)
Methods
First, you should prepare a chart like so (although you will also be adding your data to an Excel
spreadsheet that will be shared with the entire class that you can record in Table1):
Time (Min) Egg 1 Egg 2
0
15
30
45
60
752
1. Gently dry your de-shelled eggs.
2. Place the weigh boat on the scale and tare (0) the scale. Place egg #1 on the scale and record its
weight. Repeat this procedure for egg #2.
3. Place ONE egg into EACH beaker of sucrose solution and start your timer.
4. After 15 minutes, remove egg #1 from its beaker, dry it gently, and weigh it. Repeat this step for
egg #2. (Don’t mix up your eggs!)
5. Place your eggs back into their beakers and set your timer for another 15 minutes, then repeat
step 4.
6. Repeat steps 4&5 until you reach 75 minutes total. You should have six weights recorded for
each egg.
7. Record your data in the group data table on your instructor’s computer, in the appropriate
section for your sucrose concentration. This data will be shared with the class.
NOTE: The whole experiment consists of performing this procedure for various concentrations
of sucrose. Your lab group is just one ‘treatment’ group (or you may be the control). There is
also one group working with an ‘unknown’ concentration. We will perform the experiment with
2 beakers of the same concentration (replicates) in order to ensure reliability and account for
error.

Table 1: This table contains the raw data from each group. You can use Excel to make Tables 1-3 to
automatically calculate these tables.

Table 2: This table is used to average the mass of Egg 1 and Egg 2 for each sucrose concentration and
the unknown at each time. Use the data from Table1. (Calculation: (Mass of Egg 1 + Mass of Egg 2)/
2= Average Mass)

Table 3: From Table 2 you will calculate the average change in mass at each time point for each
sucrose concentration and for the unknown solution. You will use all rows of data to create Graph 1
and only the data at t=75 minutes for Graph 2. From Graph 2 you will determine the isotonic point
and concentration of the unknown solution. (Calculation: (Average mass at t=x)-(Average mass at
t=0) =Average change in mass) If the number is +positive that means the egg gained mass and if the
number is negative the egg lost mass.
