Remains of beetles are common in freshwater and land sediments Different species of beetles tend to be found under different climatic conditions Given the extensive lineage of beetles whose genetic makeup has not altered significantly over the millennia knowledge of the present climatic range of the different species and the age of the sediments in which remains are found past climatic conditions may be inferred the studies of the impact in vertebrates are few mainly from developing countries where there are the fewest studies; between 1970 and 2012 vertebrates declined by 58 percent with freshwater marine and terrestrial populations declining by 81 36 and 35 percent respectively, 5.1 Employment Meritocracy is a fundamental ideology in Singapore and a fundamental principle in the education system which aims to identify and groom bright young students for positions of leadership The system places a great emphasis on academic performance in grading students and granting their admission to special programmes and universities though this has raised concerns about breeding elitism.

In addition PISA's international comparisons can be used to justify reforms with which the data themselves have no connection; in Portugal for example PISA data were used to justify new arrangements for teacher assessment (based on inferences that were not justified by the assessments and data themselves); they also fed the government's discourse about the issue of pupils repeating a year (which according to research fails to improve student results) in Finland the country's PISA results (that are in other countries deemed to be excellent) were used by Ministers to promote new policies for 'gifted' students. Such uses and interpretations often assume causal relationships that cannot legitimately be based upon PISA data which would normally require fuller investigation through qualitative in-depth studies and longitudinal surveys based on mixed quantitative and qualitative methods, which politicians are often reluctant to fund, Mountbatten making an address on the steps of Municipal Building in Singapore 1945, 8.2 Foreign (68.4) 20.7 9 Healthcare!
