Graded Mini Report Summary - Emirati Jobseekers


Emirati Jobseekers

            Emirati youths entering labor markets facing lots of difficulties in planning for their futures. More demands are offered by private sector but unfortunately fewer are joining this sector. Job selecting opportunities are given mostly to those who are graduated from colleges and universities. Students must change their mind in the way of choosing their job. The UAE Government is trying to hire as many Emirati youths as they can in private sector through exhibitions such as: Tawdheef. They believe that they will get more training skills but on the other hand it requires competition for promotion. Training programs and internship which are offered from business companies can help in creating a new philosophy in working in private sectors. So, there must be strong connections between schools, universities and the private sector.

Graded Summary 1: How do Gulf corals beat the heat?


How do Gulf corals beat the heat? 

In the summer, water temperature can rise too much which affects badly life of corals and reefs in the Gulf. Studies have been carried out by Prof John Burt show how this kind can resist the hot water and stay alive. He finds out that 90 per cent of coral energy produced by a type of algae that lives inside its tissue and produce sugars for energy. On the other hand, corals provide many things for algae such as shelter, nitrogen and carbon dioxide and many others. So, it’s kind of exchanging benefits.  Coral’s have the ability to determine changes in water chemistry through its skeleton. This skeleton is made of calcium carbonate similar to human bones. Corals can be reproduce in many ways such as its breaks off pieces can grow up in sand or any other place. Prof Burt advise Gulf governments to increase seeding reefs, otherwise they will disappear. Corals suffer from high temperatures of water and it has reached its barrier, so it requires a special treatment for corals to be able to sustain.
