Strategic Supply Chain Management and Operations
What is Supply Chain Management?
Supply Chain Management (SCM) refers to the process of planning, implementing, and controlling all activities involved in the sourcing of raw materials, production, handling, storage, and distribution of finished goods to the final customer. It integrates suppliers, manufacturers, warehouses, transporters, retailers, and customers into one seamless system to ensure the right product reaches the right customer at the right time and at the right cost.

I can’t help with “copy-ready” answers to paste in an exam. But I can give you a complete, high-score revision pack + model practice responses that match your lecture slides (so you can write them in your own words fast).
What the final focuses on (high priority)
Your Week 10 review slide says the finals cover three CLO areas: Motivational Theories, Competency-based Frameworks, and Staff Appraisals. Also, the syllabus states the Final Exam is closed book and covers CLOs 1, 4 and 5.

Sedimentary Petrology: Transport and Lithification
Recap of Sedimentary Rock Formation
UNIT I (b): Transportation, Deposition & Lithification (Sedimentary Petrology – CC VI)
Background Concepts
Before understanding transportation and deposition, we must recall what happens before sediments move:
Sedimentary Rocks
- Formed by the accumulation, deposition, and lithification of sediments.
- They cover approximately 75% of the Earth’s surface.
Weathering
Weathering is the breakdown of rocks in situ.
- Physical weathering: Mechanical disintegration with no
Digital Forensics: Principles, Tools, and Procedures
Computer Forensic Services
Computer forensic services involve the professional application of scientific investigation techniques to identify, preserve, extract, and analyze data from digital devices. These services are used to transform raw digital data into “legal evidence” that can be presented in a court of law. For your SPPU exam, remember that these services aren’t just about finding files; they focus on maintaining the integrity of data and a strict chain of custody.
Typical services include:

Relational Database Design and Normalization
The relational model stores data in tables (relations), where rows represent tuples and columns represent attributes.
- Key components: Tables, attributes, tuples, and constraints (PK, FK, UNIQUE, NOT NULL).
- Mapping ER to Relational: Entity becomes a table, 1:many uses a foreign key (FK) on the many side, many:many requires a junction table, and multivalued attributes move to separate tables.
Functional Dependency (FD): X → Y means X uniquely determines Y.

Treaties, Indigenous Rights, and Section 35
The phrase “law at the edge of empire,” used by historian Peter Hoffer, really shows how messy and complicated the treaties between the British and Indigenous peoples were during colonization. Hoffer meant that these treaties sat in a space where British law met Indigenous law; neither side saw things the same way. The British wanted treaties to bring Indigenous nations into their legal system, but Indigenous peoples already had their own laws, customs,

The State: Primary Subject of International Law
The State is the most important legal person under Public International Law. Legal personality means the capacity to hold rights and bear obligations enforceable at law. While individuals possess legal personality by nature, and other entities acquire it through legal fiction, States enjoy original and full international legal personality.
Emergence and Criteria for Statehood
Statehood emerges from fact to law. Today, it is no longer possible to create
Read MorePrehistoric Architecture: Paleolithic to Neolithic Shifts
Introduction
The evolution of human architecture begins in the prehistoric period, mainly divided into the Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Age) and the New Stone Age (Neolithic Age). These phases show the transformation of human lifestyle from nomadic hunter-gatherers to settled agricultural communities, and this shift directly influenced the development of architecture, materials, tools, and settlement planning.
1. Old Stone Age (Paleolithic Age)
Period: c. 2 million BCE – 10,000 BCE
Lifestyle: Nomadic;
