Differentiation - Increasing and Decreasing Functions

The equation of the curve is \(y = 2x^3 - 4x^2 + 2x + m\).

  1. Find the set of values of \(x\) for which \(y\) is increasing.
  2. If \(m = -5\), find the coordinates of the turning points of the curve and determine the nature of these points.
