Experimenting Thinking in Image Schemas. Teenagers are Wondering \u201cWhere Do Thoughts Come From?\u201d. An intellectual view of philosophy as an activity focusing on understanding abstract concepts and their relationships deprives philosophical exercise of the participation of the body and senses. If we reject the mind-body dualism, as Dewey, Johnson, etc. did, then we are constantly engaged in interactions with the world and others, and can thus consider the act of thinking from our own experiences. Inspired by an experimentalist conception of school and life, as well as the method of inquiry developed by Dewey, the Philosophy for Children program provides an inquiry process that invites participants to conceptualize and reason philosophically in a collaborative manner. Do these practices implement an embodied cognition? To find out, we selected a discussion as a case study and analyzed it based on the observation that the issue to be discussed by the participants - \u201cwhere do thoughts come from?\u201d contains two image schemas: path (come from) and source (where). We have noted a variety and a significant number of expressions (\u201cthey come from within\u201d, \u201cthey come from what happens outside\u201d, etc.) whose analysis enhances a better understanding of how an experience of understanding the origins of our thoughts fits into the discourse and contributes to a collective conceptualization of \u201cthinking\u201d.

Conservation agriculture practices have been proposed as a set of techniques for improving soil structure properties and related ecosystem services. This study compared conservation agriculture (CA) practices (no\uffe2\uff80\uff90tillage, cover crop and residue retention) and conventional intensive tillage system in order to evaluate their effects on total porosity, pore size distribution, pore architecture and morphology. The experiment was set up in 2010 on four farms of the low\uffe2\uff80\uff90lying Veneto Region plain characterized by silty soils. Almost hundred soil samples were collected in 2015 at four depths down to 50\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm layer and investigated for porosity from micrometre (0\uffc2\uffb70074\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm) to macrometre (2\uffc2\uffb75\uffc2\uffa0mm) by coupling mercury intrusion porosimetry and X\uffe2\uff80\uff90ray computed microtomography (\uffce\uffbcCT). Indices of soil morphology and architecture were derived by analysing 3D images and mercury intrusion porosimetry pore size curves. Results suggested that silty soils of Veneto plain are microstructured because much (82%) of the porosity ranged between 0\uffc2\uffb70074 and 30\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm. CA practices positively influenced the ultramicroporosity class (0\uffc2\uffb71\uffe2\uff80\uff935\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm) (1\uffc2\uffb786E\uffe2\uff80\uff9001 vs 1\uffc2\uffb767E\uffe2\uff80\uff9001\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm3\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm\uffe2\uff88\uff923) that is strictly linked to soil organic carbon stabilization while no effects were observed in X\uffe2\uff80\uff90ray \uffce\uffbcCT porosity domain (> 26\uffc2\uffa0\uffce\uffbcm). Silty soils of Veneto plain showed a slow reaction to CA because of the poor aggregate stability and low soil organic carbon. However, the positive response of the ultramicropore fraction indicates that a virtuous cycle was initiated between soil organic carbon and porosity, hopefully leading to well\uffe2\uff80\uff90developed macropore systems and, in turn, enhanced soil functions and ecosystem services.

Soils are vital for supporting food security and other ecosystem services. Climate change can affect soil functions both directly and indirectly. Direct effects include temperature, precipitation, and moisture regime changes. Indirect effects include those that are induced by adaptations such as irrigation, crop rotation changes, and tillage practices. Although extensive knowledge is available on the direct effects, an understanding of the indirect effects of agricultural adaptation options is less complete. A review of 20 agricultural adaptation case\uffe2\uff80\uff90studies across Europe was conducted to assess implications to soil threats and soil functions and the link to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The major findings are as follows: (a) adaptation options reflect local conditions; (b) reduced soil erosion threats and increased soil organic carbon are expected, although compaction may increase in some areas; (c) most adaptation options are anticipated to improve the soil functions of food and biomass production, soil organic carbon storage, and storing, filtering, transforming, and recycling capacities, whereas possible implications for soil biodiversity are largely unknown; and (d) the linkage between soil functions and the SDGs implies improvements to SDG 2 (achieving food security and promoting sustainable agriculture) and SDG 13 (taking action on climate change), whereas the relationship to SDG 15 (using terrestrial ecosystems sustainably) is largely unknown. The conclusion is drawn that agricultural adaptation options, even when focused on increasing yields, have the potential to outweigh the negative direct effects of climate change on soil degradation in many European regions.

The aim of this paper is to better understand the access to soil knowledge in France and identify opportunities for further improvement, with a particular focus on the difference of point of view between six categories of stakeholders. This study is based on 1951 responses from a participatory stakeholders\u2019 consultation we conducted in France. Our results showed that most stakeholders considered the knowledge they have access to as not adapted to their needs. They also expressed that knowledge sharing between stakeholders was not sufficient. To improve access to soil knowledge, stakeholders suggested adapting at the territorial level the content of soil knowledge shared and transferred, as well as improving ways of sharing and transfer soil knowledge. Additionally, stakeholders valued different exchange networks based on their type of knowledge. Stakeholders with more theoretical soil knowledge (public authorities, NGOs, researchers) stated being more interested in networks between policy, science and society. However, networks with farmers and advisors were more favored by stakeholders with empirical soil knowledge. Considering our findings, in order to strengthen knowledge transfer and sharing, we encourage the promotion of the profession of scientific mediator, as well as the implementation of Living Labs and Lighthouse farms to bring together various stakeholders at a local level towards innovation, training and education.

Exploring global anthropogenic heat and its effects on climate change is necessary and meaningful to gain a better understanding of human\uffe2\uff80\uff93environment interactions caused by growing energy consumption. However, the variation in regional energy consumption and limited data availability make estimating long-term global anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) challenging. Thus, using high-resolution population density data (30 arc-second) and a top-down inventory-based approach, this study developed a new global gridded AHF dataset covering 1970\uffe2\uff80\uff932050 based historically on energy consumption data from the British Petroleum (BP); future projections were built on estimated future energy demands. The globally averaged terrestrial AHFs were estimated at 0.05, 0.13, and 0.16\uffe2\uff80\uff89W/m2 in 1970, 2015, and 2050, respectively, but varied greatly among countries and regions. Multiple validation results indicate that the past and future global gridded AHF (PF-AHF) dataset has reasonable accuracy in reflecting AHF at various scales. The PF-AHF dataset has longer time series and finer spatial resolution than previous data and provides powerful support for studying long-term climate change at various scales.California has responded to the needs of disadvantaged young people with new community college programs and services that raise critical problems of evaluation.Improvements in land use and management are needed at a global scale to tackle interconnected global challenges of population growth, poverty, migration, climate change, biodiversity loss, and degrading land and water resources. There are hundreds of technical options for improving the sustainability of land management and preventing or reversing degradation, but there are many sociocultural, institutional, economic, and policy barriers hindering their adoption at large scale. To tackle this challenge, the Dryland Systems Program of the Consultative Group for International Agricultural Research and the UN Convention to Combat Desertification convened an expert group to consider barriers and incentives to scaling technologies, processes, policies, or institutional arrangements. The group reviewed existing frameworks for scaling sustainable land management (SLM) interventions across a range of contexts and identified eight critical actions for success: (a) plan iteratively; (b) consistently fund; (c) select SLM options for scaling based on best available evidence; (d) identify and engage with stakeholders at all scales; (e) build capacity for scaling; (f) foster institutional leadership and policy change to support scaling; (g) achieve early benefits and incentives for as many stakeholders as possible; and (h) monitor, evaluate, and communicate. Incentives for scaling were identified for the private sector, farmers and their communities, and policy makers. Based on these findings, a new action framework for scaling is presented that analyses the contexts where specific SLM interventions can be scaled, so that SLM options can be screened and adapted to these contexts, piloted and disseminated. The framework can help countries achieve land degradation neutrality.This paper describes the experience of teaching plant pathology in Italy and traces the teaching environment over a period of more than 45\uffc2\uffa0years, split into three main periods: 1975\uffe2\uff80\uff932000; 2001\uffe2\uff80\uff932020; and after 2020. The three periods are marked by different attitudes towards agriculture and, consequently, by a variable attractiveness of agricultural study programmes for students, as well as significant changes in the population of teachers and students. The teaching experience has been described by focusing on the changes that have taken place, from the perspectives of both students and teachers, all considered in an environment of continuous transformation. The changing importance of agriculture, the different approaches of people (consumers) towards agriculture, and how it has influenced students\uffe2\uff80\uff99 choices are considered. Data related to student enrolment at the College of Agriculture of the University of Turin have been used to provide real figures, which are useful to obtain a better understanding of the changes in the student population, also considering the different attractiveness of Agricultural Sciences, Forestry and Food Science, as well as the variations in the composition of the female student population, which increased from 28% in the late 1970\uffe2\uff80\uff99s to 38% in 2020. Female students now show the highest interest in Food Science Courses. The changes in the students and teachers\uffe2\uff80\uff99 backgrounds and attitudes, as well as in the teaching and learning methods are considered, and some critical considerations are drawn, also on the basis of the developed personal experience. Moreover, the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic disruption are discussed.. E. globulus>. P. nigra>. P. pinaster\u2265. U. europaeus) and degree of aromatization of the charred material (E. globulus>. E. arborea= U. europaeus>. P. pinaster>. P. nigra). The differences in composition of the charred litter may be partly due to differences in the heating conditions (determined by the fire regime, initial amount and flammability of the litter). The differences may also be due to differences in chemical degradation of lignin of each plant species during burning. The relationships between thermal properties, elemental composition and chemical-shift regions in the NMR indicate that thermal analysis may be a useful tool for characterizing organic matter properties.", "keywords": ["13.

Similar light isotope enrichments in CAIs have been previously observed for Eu, Sr, and Ca, while for most other elements CAIs are enriched in the heavier isotopes (e.g. Mg, Fe). Kinetic isotopic fractionation is a possible explanation for the enrichment in the lightest isotopes, either by condensation from a vapor phase enriched in light isotopes by kinetic effects or by kinetic fractionation during non-equilibrium condensation of an undercooled gas as suggested for Ca isotopes. However, the common property of Ba, Eu, and Sr is that they all have a low first ionization potential. We suggest that electromagnetic sorting of ionized species in the early Solar System is a possible alternative mechanism to explain the depletion in heavy isotopes observed in refractory inclusions for those elements.", "keywords": ["CAIs", "[SDU] Sciences of the Universe [physics]", "Isotope geochemistry", "Barium", "13.

The CT system had a significantly higher mean NUE over the three years but the effect of tillage varied with years. While there was no tillage effect in years 1 and 3, CT had a significantly higher NUE than RT in year 2. Straw management system had minimal effect on NUE in any year. The effect of tillage and N rate on soil mineral N content also varied between years. While there was no tillage effect in years 1 and 3, RT had significantly larger soil N contents than CT in the spring before N application, and post-harvest in year 2. N application rates had no effect on soil N in year 1, increased residual N content in year 2 and had an inconsistent effect in year 3. Straw management had no significant effect on soil mineral N content. These results indicate that RT establishment systems can be used to produce similar winter wheat yields to CT systems in a cool Atlantic climate, providing weather conditions at establishment are favourable. The response to nitrogen is similar with both tillage systems where the crop is successfully established. Straw management system has very little effect on crop performance or nitrogen uptake.", "keywords": ["0106 biological sciences", "2. Zero hunger", "13. Climate action", "4.

Addition of N or P alone had no significant effect on autotrophic respiration (AR) or heterotrophic respiration (HR); however, when applied in combination, AR increased and HR decreased significantly. Moreover, while N addition increased NPP by 10.16% and P addition had no significant effect on NPP, combined N and P fertilization increased NPP by 21.97%. NEP was unchanged by the addition of P, but increased significantly in response to combined N and P fertilization (510.23\u00a0g\u00a0C\u00a0m\u22122\u00a0yr\u22121), nearly 50% higher than that observed in response to the addition of N (339.63\u00a0g\u00a0C\u00a0m\u22122\u00a0yr\u22121).

N was added at a rate of 10gNm\u22122 y\u22121 in the form of NH4NO3. P was added at a rate of 5g P m\u22122 y\u22121 in the form of P2O5\u2212.

Exploring global anthropogenic heat and its effects on climate change is necessary and meaningful to gain a better understanding of human\uffe2\uff80\uff93environment interactions caused by growing energy consumption. However, the variation in regional energy consumption and limited data availability make estimating long-term global anthropogenic heat flux (AHF) challenging. Thus, using high-resolution population density data (30 arc-second) and a top-down inventory-based approach, this study developed a new global gridded AHF dataset covering 1970\uffe2\uff80\uff932050 based historically on energy consumption data from the British Petroleum (BP); future projections were built on estimated future energy demands. The globally averaged terrestrial AHFs were estimated at 0.05, 0.13, and 0.16\uffe2\uff80\uff89W/m2 in 1970, 2015, and 2050, respectively, but varied greatly among countries and regions. Multiple validation results indicate that the past and future global gridded AHF (PF-AHF) dataset has reasonable accuracy in reflecting AHF at various scales. The PF-AHF dataset has longer time series and finer spatial resolution than previous data and provides powerful support for studying long-term climate change at various scales.Sludge treated with ENMs caused greater effects on earthworm reproduction than sludge treated with metal salts.

It pursues related questions regarding the impact of agribusiness-driven agriculture, the fate of smallholders experiencing contemporary agrarian transition, and the impact of increased demand for vegetable oils and biofuels on agrarian structures in Sumatra. It argues that the paths of agrarian change are highly uneven and depend on how changing livelihood strategies are enabled or constrained by economic, social and political relations that vary over time and space. In contrast to simplifying narratives of inclusion/exclusion, it argues that outcomes depend on the terms under which smallholders engage with oil palm.

Child welfare (CW) reforms have called for including family and youth voice. Yet, most initiatives have remained at individual levels, and research has rarely included youth, parent and professional voices simultaneously and equally. This study sought to integrate these perspectives and identify systems-level strategies that could reimagine CW. Using an arts-based method and thematic analysis, researchers investigated recommendations for policy and practice changes needed to transform CW to better support youth. Data were collected from individual and relational poems written by forty-one participants, including youth with foster care (FC) experience and CW professionals. Participants were located in a Midwestern state in the USA. Four themes were generated and several key findings were highlighted. First, results demonstrated relationship-building as central to supporting youth in FC. Secondly, participants described complex, fragmented and fluctuating views about the purpose of CW. Thirdly, strong emotions were commonly demonstrated by both youth and professionals. Fourthly, participants offered prescriptive actions needed to better support youth. Overall, this study indicates that CW should centre relationship-building, youth self-determination and practices that build resilience for youth and professionals. Findings also provide hope for transforming CW towards an accountable, family-centred, well-being system.Research in global change ecology relies heavily on global climatic grids derived from estimates of air temperature in open areas at around 2\uffc2\uffa0m above the ground. These climatic grids do not reflect conditions below vegetation canopies and near the ground surface, where critical ecosystem functions occur and most terrestrial species reside. Here, we provide global maps of soil temperature and bioclimatic variables at a 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90km2resolution for 0\uffe2\uff80\uff935 and 5\uffe2\uff80\uff9315\uffc2\uffa0cm soil depth. These maps were created by calculating the difference (i.e. offset) between in situ soil temperature measurements, based on time series from over 1200 1\uffe2\uff80\uff90km2pixels (summarized from 8519 unique temperature sensors) across all the world's major terrestrial biomes, and coarse\uffe2\uff80\uff90grained air temperature estimates from ERA5\uffe2\uff80\uff90Land (an atmospheric reanalysis by the European Centre for Medium\uffe2\uff80\uff90Range Weather Forecasts). We show that mean annual soil temperature differs markedly from the corresponding gridded air temperature, by up to 10\uffc2\uffb0C (mean\uffc2\uffa0=\uffc2\uffa03.0\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb1\uffc2\uffa02.1\uffc2\uffb0C), with substantial variation across biomes and seasons. Over the year, soils in cold and/or dry biomes are substantially warmer (+3.6\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb1\uffc2\uffa02.3\uffc2\uffb0C) than gridded air temperature, whereas soils in warm and humid environments are on average slightly cooler (\uffe2\uff88\uff920.7\uffc2\uffa0\uffc2\uffb1\uffc2\uffa02.3\uffc2\uffb0C). The observed substantial and biome\uffe2\uff80\uff90specific offsets emphasize that the projected impacts of climate and climate change on near\uffe2\uff80\uff90surface biodiversity and ecosystem functioning are inaccurately assessed when air rather than soil temperature is used, especially in cold environments. The global soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related bioclimatic variables provided here are an important step forward for any application in ecology and related disciplines. Nevertheless, we highlight the need to fill remaining geographic gaps by collecting more in situ measurements of microclimate conditions to further enhance the spatiotemporal resolution of global soil temperature products for ecological applications.

The effects of atmospheric nitrogen (N) deposition on carbon (C) sequestration in terrestrial ecosystems are controversial. Therefore, it is important to evaluate accurately the effects of applied N levels and forms on the amount and stability of soil organic carbon (SOC) in terrestrial ecosystems. In this study, a multi\uffe2\uff80\uff90form, small\uffe2\uff80\uff90input N addition experiment was conducted at the Haibei Alpine Meadow Ecosystem Research Station from 2007 to 2011. Three N fertilizers, NH4Cl, (NH4)2SO4 and KNO3, were applied at four rates: 0, 10, 20 and 40 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 year\uffe2\uff88\uff921. One hundred and eight soil samples were collected at 10\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm intervals to a depth of 30 cm in 2011. Contents and \uffce\uffb413C values of bulk SOC were measured, as well as three particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90size fractions: macroparticulate organic C (MacroPOC, > 250 \uffc2\uffb5m), microparticulate organic C (MicroPOC, 53\uffe2\uff80\uff93250 \uffc2\uffb5m) and mineral\uffe2\uff80\uff90associated organic C (MAOC, < 53 \uffc2\uffb5m). The results show that 5 years of N addition changed SOC contents, \uffce\uffb413C values of the bulk soils and various particle\uffe2\uff80\uff90size fractions in the surface 10\uffe2\uff80\uff90cm layer, and that they were dependent on the amounts and forms of N application. Ammonium\uffe2\uff80\uff90N addition had more significant effects on SOC content than nitrate\uffe2\uff80\uff90N addition. For the entire soil profile, small additions of N increased SOC stock by 4.5% (0.43 kg C m\uffe2\uff88\uff922), while medium and large inputs of N decreased SOC stock by 5.4% (0.52 kg C m\uffe2\uff88\uff922) and 8.8% (0.85 kg C m\uffe2\uff88\uff922), respectively. The critical load of N deposition appears to be about 20 kg N ha\uffe2\uff88\uff921 year\uffe2\uff88\uff921. The newly formed C in the small\uffe2\uff80\uff90input N treatment remained mostly in the > 250 \uffc2\uffb5m soil MacroPOC, and the C lost in the medium or large N treatments was from the > 53 \uffc2\uffb5m POC fraction. Five years of ammonium\uffe2\uff80\uff90N addition increased significantly the surface soil POC:MAOC ratio and increased the instability of soil organic matter (SOM). These results suggest that exogenous N input within the critical load level will benefit C sequestration in the alpine meadow soils on the Qinghai\uffe2\uff80\uff93Tibetan Plateau over the short term.

Current and future stakeholders and decision\uffe2\uff80\uff90makers involved in agricultural soil management need to develop soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related skills to meet the challenges of food security and global change in the coming decades. The aim of this study was to identify professional profiles related to the management, conservation and restoration of agricultural soils on the basis of a European stakeholder survey and to relate these profiles to specific and generic skills. Stakeholders from 24 European countries, selected by the national hubs of the European Joint Programme on agricultural soil management, were invited to propose soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related professional profiles that they considered important to develop over the next 20\uffe2\uff80\uff89years. They were then asked to identify up to 15 specific or generic skills that they considered necessary for each profile. In total, 299 stakeholders proposed 1\uffe2\uff80\uff933 professional profiles each, in 20 languages, for a total of 786 profiles ranging from the bachelor to doctoral level. After translation into English and grouping by expertise, 60 profiles were identified and classified as \uffe2\uff80\uff98traditional\uffe2\uff80\uff99, \uffe2\uff80\uff98specialised\uffe2\uff80\uff99 or \uffe2\uff80\uff98innovative\uffe2\uff80\uff99. Innovative profiles were related to the inclusion of soil in fields that do not currently provide soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related education (e.g., communication, mediation, economics, law, land\uffe2\uff80\uff90use planning, architecture, data science). Correspondence analysis based on the number of times a skill was considered necessary for a given profile led to the grouping of the 60 initial profiles into 10 clusters of profiles that required similar skills: these 10 clusters of profiles were described, and their necessary skills were identified. The clusters illustrate the need to broaden the scope of soil science and the variety of professions that can address soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related issues and require knowledge about soils. Ultimately, this list of soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related professional profiles and their necessary skills could help revise existing higher\uffe2\uff80\uff90education curricula or create new curricula.European soils are under increasing pressure, making it difficult to maintain the provision of soil ecosystem services (SESs). A better understanding of soil processes is needed to counteract soil threats (STs) and to promote sustainable soil management. The EJP SOIL programme of the EU provides a framework for the necessary research. However, different definitions of soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related terms potentially lead to varied understandings of concepts. Furthermore, there are numerous indicators available to quantify STs or SESs. As unclear communication is a key barrier that hinders the implementation of research results into practice, this study aimed to answer the question about whether the terminology of large\uffe2\uff80\uff90scale initiatives is adequately understood within the soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90science community and non\uffe2\uff80\uff90research stakeholders. An online questionnaire was used to provide definitions for 33 soil\uffe2\uff80\uff90related terms in both scientific and plain language, as well as indicators for seven SESs and 11 STs. Participants were asked to rate their agreement with the definitions and indicators on a seven\uffe2\uff80\uff90grade Likert scale. The level of agreement was calculated as the percentage of ratings above 4, the neutral position. The survey was available from June to September 2023 and was distributed by a snowball approach. More than 260 stakeholders assessed the survey; 70% of respondents were researchers, and 15% were practitioners. Mean agreement levels for the definitions and indicators were generally high, at 85% and 78% respectively. However, it was apparent that the lowest agreement was found for terms that are relatively new, such as Ecosystem Services and Bundle, or unfamiliar for certain subgroups, such as ecological terms for stakeholders working at the farm scale. Due to their distinct majority, the results of this study primarily reflect the opinions of scientists. Thus, broad conclusions can only be drawn by comparing scientists with non\uffe2\uff80\uff90scientists. In this regard, the agreement was surprisingly high across all types of questions. The combined outcomes indicate that there is still a need to facilitate communication between stakeholders and to improve knowledge distribution strategies. Nevertheless, this study can support and be used by future projects and programmes, especially regarding the harmonization of terminology and methods.

How the multiple facets of soil fungal diversity vary worldwide remains virtually unknown, hindering the management of this essential species-rich group. By sequencing high-resolution DNA markers in over 4000 topsoil samples from natural and human-altered ecosystems across all continents, we illustrate the distributions and drivers of different levels of taxonomic and phylogenetic diversity of fungi and their ecological groups. We show the impact of precipitation and temperature interactions on local fungal species richness (alpha diversity) across different climates. Our findings reveal how temperature drives fungal compositional turnover (beta diversity) and phylogenetic diversity, linking them with regional species richness (gamma diversity). We integrate fungi into the principles of global biodiversity distribution and present detailed maps for biodiversity conservation and modeling of global ecological processes.

A knowledge repository design artifact, the Constructivist Unifying Baccalaureate Epistemology (CUBE), incorporating conceptual mapping features and a semantic ontology structure was developed and evaluated. The aim is to achieve quantifiable improvement in learning outcomes by integrating course materials in a field of study. The CUBE knowledge repository was modeled as an organic structure with the ability to evolve over time by incorporating a ranking/voting feature that enables learners and instructors to add further content to the knowledge base and collectively evaluate the relative weights of conceptual threads. The goal of this research was to provide the means, models and tools that would allow learners, from their earliest studies, to develop and explore these conceptual threads that tie a discipline together. Although this paper focuses on the technological details of the design and implementation of the artifacts, it also describes the knowledge integration theoretical models used as the basis for tool design and presents the results of a qualitative and quantitative evaluation carried out to assess the effectiveness of the artifacts.

The correct simulation of midlatitude atmospheric blocking has always been a main concern since the earliest days of numerical modeling of Earth\uffe2\uff80\uff99s atmosphere. To this day blocking represents a considerable source of error for general circulation models from both a numerical weather prediction and a climate perspective. In the present work, 20 years of global climate model (GCM) developments are analyzed from the special point of view of Northern Hemisphere atmospheric blocking simulation. Making use of a series of equivalent metrics, three generations of GCMs are compared. This encompasses a total of 95 climate models, many of which are different\uffe2\uff80\uff94successive\uffe2\uff80\uff94versions of the same model. Results from model intercomparison projects AMIP1 (1992), CMIP3 (2007), and CMIP5 (2012) are taken into consideration. Although large improvements are seen over the Pacific Ocean, only minor advancements have been achieved over the Euro-Atlantic sector. Some of the most recent GCMs still exhibit the same negative bias as 20 years ago in this region, associated with large geopotential height systematic errors. Some individual models, nevertheless, have improved and do show good performances in both sectors. Negligible differences emerge among ocean-coupled or atmosphere-only simulations, suggesting weak relevance of sea surface temperature biases. Conversely, increased horizontal resolution seems to be able to alleviate the Euro-Atlantic blocking bias.

Parameters from archive data of the Kalisz-Lis waterworks, located in the Prosna River valley south of Kalisz, have been analysed. Well barrier discharges groundwater from Quaternary sediments which is mixed with riverbank filtration water. The analysis focused on specific well capacity, a parameter that represents the technical and natural aspects of well life. To exclude any aging factor, an examination of specific well capacity acquired only in the first pumping tests of a new well was performed. The results show that wells drilled between 1961 and 2004 have similar values of specific well capacity and prove that > 40 years discharge has had little influence on hydrodynamic conditions of the aquifer, i.e., clogging has either not occurred or is of low intensity. This implies that, in the total water balance of the Kalisz- Lis well barrier, riverbank filtration water made little contribution. In comparison, a similar analysis of archive data on the Mosina-Krajkowo wells of two generations of well barriers located in the Warta flood plains was performed; this has revealed a different trend. There was a significant drop in specific well capacity from the first pumping test of substitute wells. Thus, long-term groundwater discharge in the Warta valley has had a great impact on the reduction of the hydraulic conductivity of sediments and has worsened hydrodynamic conditions due to clogging of river bed and aquifer, which implies a large contribution of riverbank filtration water in the total water well balance. For both well fields conclusions were corroborated by mathematical modeling; in Kalisz-Lis 16.2% of water comes from riverbank filtration, whereas the percentage for Mosina-Krajkowo is 78.9%.

ABSTRACT The market of stabilized, slow and controlled release nitrogen (N) fertilizers represents 1% of the world fertilizer consumption. On the other hand, the increase in availability, innovation and application of these technologies could lead to the improvement of N use efficiency in agroecossystems and to the reduction of environmental impacts. The objective of this study was to quantify agronomic efficiency relative index, ammonia volatilization, and CO2 emissions from conventional, stabilized and controlled release N fertilizers in corn summer crop. The experiment was carried out in a corn crop area located in Lavras, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, without irrigation. All treatments were applied in topdressing at rate of 150 kg ha-1 N. N-NH3 losses from N fertilizers were: Granular urea (39% of the applied N ) = prilled urea (38%) > urea coated with 16% S0 (32%) = blend of urea + 7.9% S0 + polymers + conventional urea (32%) > prilled urea incorporated at 0.02 m depth (24%) > urea + 530 mg kg-1 of NBPT (8%) = Hydrolyzed leather (9%) > urea + thermoplastic resin (3%) = ammonium sulfate (1%) = ammonium nitrate (0.7%). Thermoplastic resin coated urea, ammonium nitrate and ammonium sulfate presented low values of cumulative CO2 emissions in corn crop.

Earthworms are an important soil taxon as ecosystem engineers, providing a variety of crucial ecosystem functions and services. Little is known about their diversity and distribution at large spatial scales, despite the availability of considerable amounts of local-scale data. Earthworm diversity data, obtained from the primary literature or provided directly by authors, were collated with information on site locations, including coordinates, habitat cover, and soil properties. Datasets were required, at a minimum, to include abundance or biomass of earthworms at a site. Where possible, site-level species lists were included, as well as the abundance and biomass of individual species and ecological groups. This global dataset contains 10,840 sites, with 184 species, from 60 countries and all continents except Antarctica. The data were obtained from 182 published articles, published between 1973 and 2017, and 17 unpublished datasets. Amalgamating data into a single global database will assist researchers in investigating and answering a wide variety of pressing questions, for example, jointly assessing aboveground and belowground biodiversity distributions and drivers of biodiversity change.

The purpose of this community engagement capstone thesis project is to report on a seven-week music group facilitated to encourage creative processes among fourth graders at an after-school Program, and offer recommendations for implementing future programs. This thesis reviews relevant literature in order to suggest the importance of creative thinking skills and the potential future benefits of developing divergent thought processes. Detailed project reports are provided to illuminate session plans, observations, and significant events throughout the course of the group. Furthermore, pertinent themes regarding the group's process are discussed in addition to reviewing pre-test and post-test data. Findings reflect that creative growth resulted from safe and predictable experiences within music. Comfort and safety led to group members' growth in flexibility, confidence, bravery, and experiencing positive mood states. Finally, suggestions are made for the implementation of creative music groups in schools to encourage self-expression, self-awareness, and divergent thought processes.

Proses pembelajaran memerlukan pemecahan yang baik. Pembelajaran adalah suatu upaya untuk mengatur ( mengendalikan) aktivitas pembelajaran berdasarkan konsep-konsep dan prinsip-prinsip pembelajaran untuk menyukseskan tujuan pembelajaran agar tercapai secara lebih efektif, efisien, dan produktif yang diawali dengan penentuan strategi dan perencanaan, dan diakhiri dengan penilaian.Sekarang ini, untuk menjadi seorang guru bukanlah pekerjaan yang gampang, seperti yang dibayangkan oleh sebagian orang,dengan bermodal penguasaan materi dan menyampaikannya kepada siswa sudah cukup, guru yang profesional, mereka harus memiliki berbagai keterampilan, kemampuan khusus, mencintai pekerjaannya, menjaga kode etik guru, dan lain sebagainya. Metode yang dipergunakan pada artikel ini adalah Studi Literatur. Studi literatur dimaknai sebagai pemecahan persoalan dengan menelusuri sumber-sumber tulisan yang pernah dibuat sebelumnya (Honer &amp; Hunt, 2003; Setyosari, 2010). Teknik ini dilakukan dengan tujuan untuk mengetahui Kode Etik Guru Terhadap Peningkatan Kualitas Belajar Siswa dengan berbagai teori-teori yang relevan yang sedang dihadapi/diteliti sebagai bahan rujukan dalam pembahasan hasil penelitian. Guru memiliki peran yang sangat penting dalam menentukan kuantitas dan kualitas pembelajaran yang dilaksanakan. Guru harus memikirkan dan membuat perencanaan pembelajaran secara seksama dalam meningkatkan kesempatan belajar bagi peserta didiknya dan memperbaiki kualitas mengajarnya. Karena guru berperan sebagai pengelola pembelajaran, bertindak sebagai fasilitator yang berusaha menciptakan kondisi belajar mengajar yang efektif, mengembangkan bahan pembelajaran dengan baik, dan meningkatkan kemampuan siswa untuk menyimak pelajaran dan menguasai tujuan pembelajaran demi peningkatan pendidikan.

AgriLemma is a serious game developed by researchers at TU Delft as part of the EU project WATERAGRI to help stakeholders better understand new technologies being developed and demonstrated. The overall goal of AgriLemma is to engage stakeholders and increase awareness/adoption of water retention and nutrient retention solutions. The game is targeted primarily at farmers, but can also be played by the general public and stakeholders who want to understand the challenges and trade-offs in agricultural water management. The players adopt the role of farmers in the game, who have to face the challenge of adapting to the growing pressures of climate change, water scarcity/abundance, and the institutional push for sustainable food production. Farmers have to formulate a strategy to develop their farm in a way that is not only profitable but also environmentally and socially sustainable.

In Europe, 25-30% of agricultural soils are considered degraded, affecting food systems, GHG emissions, habitats and water ways. To manage soil resources for multiple uses require expertise and competence from farmers and landowners to policy makers and the private sector. This report provides a synthesis on the current state of soil science in European Higher Education (HE), as a baseline to assess competency and resources for capacity development in soil science. A total of 120 survey responses were received in 2020-2021, representing Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) in 25 European countries. Resultsshowed that only 13% of the HEIs hosted a dedicated soil science department. The majority of soil science is embedded in a department where environmental sciences, agricultural sciences and earth sciences are the main academic topics. Respondents reported an increased enrolment at BSc, and no change for MSc and PhD. Mixed trends could be seen for specific countries and universities, with both increases and decreases in student enrolment. Teaching capacity is high in soil science, with a majotrity of teachers having both PhD and training in HE teaching and learning. Yet, traditional lecture based teaching dominates soil science teaching and learning activities, both at BSc and MSc levels. At BSc level the proportion of courses that did not have any computer/modelling component was about 1/3. According to responses internationalisation is of great importance to many soil science HEI. Top three priorities for internationalisation were attracting students from abroad, providing more opportunities to send students abroad and developing strategic research partnerships.
