title 1: Climate Change and Global Food Systems: Potential Impacts on Food Security and
Undernutrition

Background: Climate change is already part of our everyday life, since we, the people are not responsible
for taking care of the environment. climate change affects the environment which is the main source of
our food supply. The production of food systems needs to adapt to climate change in order to supply us
with our everyday needs. The production of food decrease when the environment cannot adapt to the
changes happening in our climate. And when it happens the global food system will be affected. This
topic catches our attention since it focuses on the environment. Our goal as a researcher is to look for a
solution for this problem and contribute a good idea in preserving the environment to minimize the
climate change that affects the food supply in our community and undernutrition will be avoided.

title 2. Evolutionary Mechanisms Shaping the Maintenance of Antibiotic Resistance

Background:The antibiotics target essential cellular functions but there is a time that bacteria can
become resistant to this. Since this review summarizes the current knowledge on the evolutionary
mechanisms influencing maintenance of resistance mediated by chromosomal mutations, we as a
researcher has a Goal of knowing more about this topic and wants to know deep more about this issue
and can contribute an idea o how to cope this problem to our community, especially during this time of
the pandemic.

title 3. Increases in depression and anxiety symptoms in adolescents and young adults during the
COVID-19 pandemic

Background: The coronavirus [coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)] pandemic has introduced extraordinary life
changes and stress, particularly in adolescents and young adults. Initial reports suggest that depression and anxiety
are elevated during COVID-19, but no prior study has explored changes at the within-person level.

TITLE 4: The Effects of Technological Developments on Work and Their Implications for
Continuous Vocational Education and Training: A Systematic Review

OBJECTIVE:
The aim of this study is to provide an overview or to get insight into the effects of technological
developments on work characteristics and to derive the implications for work demands and
continuous vocational education and training (CVET).

EXPLANATION:
Throughout history, technology has consistently changed the way workers across every industry
do
their jobs. From the industrial age to modern day, technology has improved working conditions.
Its
impact on the work environment has streamlined tedious and environmentally wasteful
processes,
expedited access to work while exponentially increasing productivity and made working from
anywhere easier than ever. Workers today are more productive than they’ve ever been. The
impact
of technology on work, both in manufacturing and in communication, has exponentially
increased
the rate of production and speed at which business occurs. Technology in the workplace has
helped

4
workers become more efficient than ever before. What used to take hours now can take
minutes.
Messages can be sent instantly to colleagues or clients across the world. Payments or
proposals can
be transferred almost immediately. Social media and mobile devices may lead to psychological
and
physical issues, such as eyestrain and difficulty focusing on important tasks. They may also
contribute to more serious health conditions, such as depression. The overuse of technology
may
have a more significant impact
