Green extension: the challenge of ownership and accountabilityAndrew Bartlett
- For over 30 years, various organizations have promoted sustainable agriculture techniques like organic fertilizers, IPM, SRI, and CA through projects in Laos.
- Despite training thousands of farmers and producing extension manuals, the "toxic landscape" problem has worsened in recent years.
- Project-driven agricultural development has hindered the establishment of a reliable extension system due to fragmented implementation, limited local ownership, short timelines focused on delivery, and upward accountability to donors rather than farmers.
- There is a need to develop alternatives to the project approach that promote greater farmer ownership and accountability to strengthen green extension long-term.

Integrating Agriculture and Nutrition_Jody Harris and Aaron Buchsbaum_5.7.14CORE Group
This presentation summarizes a study of an integrated nutrition program in Burkina Faso run by the organization HKI. The study aimed to understand how different sectors integrated at various programmatic levels. It found that while understanding of the need for integration was high, implementation varied across project areas. Modes of integration in practice ranged from harmonized messaging to some field workers taking dual roles, but integration was not formally monitored. The study concludes there is a need to explicitly design integration strategies and monitor their implementation in order to learn which modes are most effective.

Food safety research in low- and middle-income countriesILRI
Presentation by Hung Nguyen-Viet at the first technical meeting to launch the Food Safety Working Group under the One Health Partnership framework, Hanoi, Vietnam, 28 September 2023
The Food Safety Working Group (FSWG) in Vietnam was created in 2015 at the request of the Deputy Prime Minister to address food safety issues in the country. It brings together government agencies, ministries, and development partners to facilitate joint policy dialogue and improve food safety. Over eight years of operations led by different organizations, the FSWG has contributed to various initiatives. However, it faces challenges of diminished government participation over time and dependence on active members. Going forward, it will strengthen its operations by integrating under Vietnam's One Health Partnership framework to better engage stakeholders and achieve policy impacts.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selectionCarl Bergstrom
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

In this slide, we will introduce what antibodies and neutralizing antibodies are, the production and regulation of neutralizing antibodies, their mechanisms of action, classification and applications, as well as the challenges they face.
Microbial interaction
Microorganisms interacts with each other and can be physically associated with another organisms in a variety of ways.
One organism can be located on the surface of another organism as an ectobiont or located within another organism as endobiont.
Microbial interaction may be positive such as mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism or may be negative such as parasitism, predation or competition
Types of microbial interaction
Positive interaction: mutualism, proto-cooperation, commensalism
Negative interaction: Ammensalism (antagonism), parasitism, predation, competition
I. Mutualism:
It is defined as the relationship in which each organism in interaction gets benefits from association. It is an obligatory relationship in which mutualist and host are metabolically dependent on each other.
Mutualistic relationship is very specific where one member of association cannot be replaced by another species.
Mutualism require close physical contact between interacting organisms.
Relationship of mutualism allows organisms to exist in habitat that could not occupied by either species alone.
Mutualistic relationship between organisms allows them to act as a single organism.
Examples of mutualism:
i. Lichens:
Lichens are excellent example of mutualism.
They are the association of specific fungi and certain genus of algae. In lichen, fungal partner is called mycobiont and algal partner is called
II. Syntrophism:
It is an association in which the growth of one organism either depends on or improved by the substrate provided by another organism.
In syntrophism both organism in association gets benefits.
Compound A
Utilized by population 1
Compound B
Utilized by population 2
Compound C
utilized by both Population 1+2
Products
In this theoretical example of syntrophism, population 1 is able to utilize and metabolize compound A, forming compound B but cannot metabolize beyond compound B without co-operation of population 2. Population 2is unable to utilize compound A but it can metabolize compound B forming compound C. Then both population 1 and 2 are able to carry out metabolic reaction which leads to formation of end product that neither population could produce alone.
Examples of syntrophism:
i. Methanogenic ecosystem in sludge digester
Methane produced by methanogenic bacteria depends upon interspecies hydrogen transfer by other fermentative bacteria.
Anaerobic fermentative bacteria generate CO2 and H2 utilizing carbohydrates which is then utilized by methanogenic bacteria (Methanobacter) to produce methane.
ii. Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis:
In the minimal media, Lactobacillus arobinosus and Enterococcus faecalis are able to grow together but not alone.
The synergistic relationship between E. faecalis and L. arobinosus occurs in which E. faecalis require folic acid
JAMES WEBB STUDY THE MASSIVE BLACK HOLE SEEDSSérgio Sacani
The pathway(s) to seeding the massive black holes (MBHs) that exist at the heart of galaxies in the present and distant Universe remains an unsolved problem. Here we categorise, describe and quantitatively discuss the formation pathways of both light and heavy seeds. We emphasise that the most recent computational models suggest that rather than a bimodal-like mass spectrum between light and heavy seeds with light at one end and heavy at the other that instead a continuum exists. Light seeds being more ubiquitous and the heavier seeds becoming less and less abundant due the rarer environmental conditions required for their formation. We therefore examine the different mechanisms that give rise to different seed mass spectrums. We show how and why the mechanisms that produce the heaviest seeds are also among the rarest events in the Universe and are hence extremely unlikely to be the seeds for the vast majority of the MBH population. We quantify, within the limits of the current large uncertainties in the seeding processes, the expected number densities of the seed mass spectrum. We argue that light seeds must be at least 103 to 105 times more numerous than heavy seeds to explain the MBH population as a whole. Based on our current understanding of the seed population this makes heavy seeds (Mseed > 103 M⊙) a significantly more likely pathway given that heavy seeds have an abundance pattern than is close to and likely in excess of 10−4 compared to light seeds. Finally, we examine the current state-of-the-art in numerical calculations and recent observations and plot a path forward for near-future advances in both domains.
TOPIC OF DISCUSSION: CENTRIFUGATION SLIDESHARE.pptxshubhijain836
Centrifugation is a powerful technique used in laboratories to separate components of a heterogeneous mixture based on their density. This process utilizes centrifugal force to rapidly spin samples, causing denser particles to migrate outward more quickly than lighter ones. As a result, distinct layers form within the sample tube, allowing for easy isolation and purification of target substances.

of change, outcome pathways, deliverables and budgets – ‘integrated plan’
• Multiple interventions of different flagships tested and delivered in
coordinated ways to target groups – ‘integrated delivery’
• Several different and complementary interventions combined together to
serve different objectives – ‘integrated intervention packages’
• Multiple interventions are aggregated together to reach target groups –
‘integrated platform’

Improved collaboration and partnerships
– 4 out of 5 FP are new in the project site
– Strong and long-lasting partners at national levels but new local partners
– 3 out of FP do not have preferred partner yet
– A common understanding of farming systems in the project sites is being
developed by all flagships, considering multidisciplinary indicators
– Interventions of 1 FP depends on the others
– Local officials are approached by all FP together
– Provincial Sub-DAH will act as contact point for the local authorities but we present
the project to the local authorities as Livestock CRP and as One CGIAR in Vietnam.

How we are designing and testing the integrated
interventions/packages in Uganda
• Research team has agreed to integrate farm level interventions in order to
address productivity constraints and environment interventions
• Entry point through the market – pig aggregators – strong business case
• Working with the same farmers in the same project intervention and control
sites
• Strategy for integrating technology elements through PigSMART platform –
digital extension messages based on stage of growth of the pig (Feeds x Herd
health x Genetics) and environment add-on
• Joint planning and budgeting (pooled budgets for integration elements)
• Coordinated field work – with field-based district partners

How the Ethiopia country project facilitates integrated
planning and delivery of FP products - Aynalem
Integrated planning for delivery of SmaRT pack
– Project coordinator interacts with the FP team and the partner teams on the ground
to ensure harmonized planning
– Site specific intervention calendars developed by the teams with the NARS partners
provide an overview and guide for timing of the different interventions
– Regular team meetings to discuss plans and what works and what doesn't - helping
the team 'think' and act collectively
– Joint planning and coordinated field work saves resources and increases efficiency
– We used to talk about value chain, but we did not have links between activities
except that we have worked in the same CRP sites. This is no longer the case
13. 13
Changes in delivery because of SmaRT pack
– We used to act individually which may not be what the farmers need
– We don’t confuse partners by making several uncoordinated visits
– We now mimic what happens on the ground and look for natural linkages: one
activity produces an input or the enabling environment for another intervention
– Results in more holistic approach towards end beneficiaries
– Community conversations help to integrate the packages at local level
– Eventually one intervention feeds the other and therefore we believe the benefit
is exponential
