Fieldwork is often cited as one of the most important and effective parts geography education, despite increasing scrutiny over its environmental financial cost. As a result, it imperative that any overseas fieldwork impactful possible, enabling deep experiential learning. Here, we investigate success joint field trip (Liverpool John Moores University, UK Southern Connecticut State USA) to East Iceland. Such trips are rare but have potential be extremely on both cohorts students. We outline...
Management of nutrition during pregnancy for maternal composite ewes has the potential to improve lamb production and survival in prime systems but existing condition score (CS) guidelines developed Merinos may not be appropriate optimum ewes. To address this, three replicated experiments were conducted at two research sites Victoria one Western Australia. Ewes (781–800 per site) allocated four CS treatments following scanning (~Day 50) differentially fed reach approximate targets 2.4, 2.8,...
Abstract Transformation has become a prevailing and desirable concept in blue economy literature. In parallel, researchers have been considering ways to effectively engage stakeholders support just transformational agendas. Globally, coastal communities are already being affected by the inevitable impacts of climate change changes economy. These pressures present complex contexts for zone stakeholder engagement. this paper, I argue that taking systems integration approach interacting with is...
Background It is crucial to support students in better understanding water and sustainability issues because plays a vital role maintaining global ecosystems, including human life. A wide range of curricular instructional supports like those embodied model-based learning (MBL) are necessary for teachers engage the core epistemic commitments Next-Generation Science Standards (NGSS).Purpose The main purpose this study inform theory about students' early attempts complex kinds sensemaking...
Design charettes are a common outreach technique that planners and landscape architects use to obtain input on planning issues. The desired outcome is design solution takes into account participant feedback. Because bring people of diverse backgrounds together work toward goal, exploring uses this for purposes beyond the traditional valuable. At living shoreline charette, we used not devise solutions but engage interested parties in an activity provided them with improved awareness...
Extension personnel are faced with measuring public stakeholder behavior, perceptions, and preferences so as to inform program development. At the same time, many a lack of financial resources necessary for acquiring generalizable statistically representative samples. To reconcile these challenges, our team purchased an online survey panel from Qualtrics. Throughout process gathering analyzing data, gained insights that may be interest others considering use panels sample broad populations....
Maternal nutrition during gestation impacts offspring BW, body composition, and metabolism, thereby affecting productivity. Several sources of information are available to producers for guidance in managing their breeding flocks; however, it is unknown if sheep New England utilize these resources. In previous USDA surveys producers, was not included, thus leaving a gap knowledge. Our objective conduct survey determine flock size, breeds, pregnancy detection methods, feeding management...
Youth in grades 4 to 6 were presented with healthy living topics through a two cycle, 11-week 4-H after school curriculum designed for low income, urban populations. Pre- and post-surveys used measure knowledge of homes such as mold moisture, lead poisoning, pests, asthma triggers, smoking, food safety. Daily journaling activities youth engagement also added the mixed data set. Lessons learned about program efficacy, knowledge, are presented.
