State of Higher Education in New Zealand
The document discusses the state of higher education in New Zealand. It notes that higher education improves lives and contributes to a more efficient and equitable society, but that access and participation are unequal. It also discusses how the government has a bias against part-time and distance education due to a focus on completion rates, despite evidence that these alternatives improve access and outcomes for many students, especially older learners. Massey University is highlighted as committed to expanding access through different pathways and lifelong learning.
Face to-face lectures are no longer appropriate in the digital age - a debate
The document argues that face-to-face lectures are no longer appropriate in the digital age for three reasons: 1) The nature of knowledge and learning has changed, 2) Teaching practices have changed, and 3) The way knowledge and media are consumed has changed. It cites sources that claim lectures squander the power of crowdsourcing knowledge and that lectures are a persistent technology that has not adapted to changes in how learning occurs in the digital age.

Studying abroad provides higher quality education and career opportunities. It allows access to advanced technological facilities, virtual classrooms, and online libraries. Students can gain valuable work experience through part-time jobs while studying, helping develop career skills and independence. Living in a developed country also offers a higher standard of living with better infrastructure, security, and environmental conditions. While higher costs, adjusting to living alone, and parental worries are concerns, getting scholarships or financial aid and gaining independence can help address these issues. Overall, studying abroad broadens horizons and helps students become more competitive in an increasingly globalized world.

Unlocking potential: Closing the Education Achievement Gap in Northern Ireland
Education is the primary vehicle by which economically and socially disadvantaged children can change their lives, lift themselves out of poverty and obtain the means to participate fully in their communities. The children starting primary school in 2016 will have grown up in an economic recession and amid greatly reduced public expenditure within N. Ireland. We cannot let the ‘age of austerity’ limit this generation’s educational achievement or their aspirations.

Paralysis of Choice and the Action Paradox - Verity Jones
The document discusses the challenges of addressing climate change given its profound uncertainty, multidimensional nature with multiple stakeholders, causes, and potential solutions. It notes that while a student protestor called for feelings of terror, rage, and grief to motivate action, inspiring change requires altering social norms and habits. Schools are cited as a potential site for social change through influencing relationships and contested policy mediation. Past initiatives like the Travelling to School program show that action and investment in schools could help address the complex issue of climate change.
Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Robin Webster
This document discusses communicating about climate change and overcoming climate silence. It notes that climate concern is at record high levels in the UK, with over half of adults very concerned about climate change. However, climate silence remains an issue, with many people not wanting to talk about climate change due to feelings of guilt, fear of scary topics, or not knowing enough. The document advises that messaging on climate change should include both negative and positive information, focusing on solutions to provide hope and efficacy. While many people support limits to air travel and eating less red meat, fewer are willing to completely stop eating meat. The document suggests that lifestyle changes must be part of systemic change and discusses how identity, blame, social norms, and political will

Taboo Subjects and Red Herrings - Katie Major
Palm oil is the largest vegetable oil crop, producing over 60 million tonnes per year and being versatile and high-yielding. However, its production is causing significant environmental and social issues due to deforestation for new plantations. While boycotting palm oil may seem like a solution, it is better to support sustainable palm oil through clear, consistent messaging that differentiates sustainable versus unsustainable palm oil and encourages collaboration between groups. Positive communication is key to promoting more sustainable palm oil production.

1) Traditional rational models of decision making are insufficient for complex issues involving uncertainty, complexity and multiple perspectives.
2) Decisions are influenced by cognitive biases, shortcuts and social factors. Better understanding of decision science is needed.
3) More participatory, cooperative approaches that incorporate different types of knowledge can help overcome psychological barriers and lead to wiser decisions. Investing in better decision making processes is important.
Understanding Emotion
This document discusses how psychology and psychotherapy can contribute to addressing climate change. It argues that climate change is not just a rational problem with technological solutions, but also a psychological one as we have irrationally failed to act despite knowing the solutions. It explores potential psychosocial solutions like facing our denial, understanding our relationship with nature, strengthening ecological connection, and allowing ourselves to feel emotions like grief, fear and anger regarding climate change. It also discusses the potential trauma of climate change and challenges of discussing it with children.
Communications Pitfalls And How to Avoid Them
This document announces a workshop on common communication pitfalls and how to avoid them. The workshop will take place on November 12, 2019 from 1:30-2:30PM and 3:00-4:00PM at the Conservation Education Centre. It will discuss framing traps and how framing matters in communication. Framing can change thinking and outcomes by activating certain frames more often so they become part of common sense.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Evolving Lifecycles with High Resolution Site Characterization (HRSC) and 3-D...
The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.
