EIA and Its features, Various Methodologypatil982959
EIA: an activity designed to identify and predict the impact of project on biogeophysicochemical environment and on human health so as to recommend appropriate legislative measures, programs and operational procedures to minimize the impacts
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is the formal process used to predict the environmental consequences (positive or negative) of a plan, policy, program, or project prior to the decision to move forward with the proposed action. Formal impact assessments may be governed by rules of administrative procedure regarding public participation and documentation of decision making, and may be subject to judicial review. An impact assessment may propose measures to adjust impacts to acceptable levels or to investigate new technological solutions (Encyclopedia, 2015).
This chapter describes some of the simplest techniques and methods for EIA, and gives information to
help choose the most appropriate method for a given situation.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

How to Make a Field invisible in Odoo 17Celine George
It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
2. Meaning
Methodology means the structural approaches for doing one or more
activities of EIA.
There are some specific characteristic which an EIA methodology should
depict.
These are:-
(1)It should be appropriate to the necessary task of EIA process such as
impact identification/comparison of alternatives.
(2)It should be significantly free from assessors bias
(3)It should be economical in terms of costs, and its requirement of data
,investigating time , personnel, equipment and facilities.
3. Impact analysis
This stage of EIA identifies and predicts the likely Environmental and social
impact of the proposed project and evaluates the significance
Methods of impact analysis:
• 1. IMPACT IDENTIFICATION
• 2. IMPACT PREDICTION
• 3. IMPACT EVALUATION
4. Impact identification
Impact Identification attempts to answer the question, “what will happen when a
project enters its operational stage?”
A List of important impacts such as changes in ambient air quality, changes in water
and soil qualities, noise levels, wildlife habitats, species diversity, social and cultural
systems, employment levels etc may be prepared.
The important sources of impact like smoke emission, consumption of water,
discharge of effluents etc are identified.
Methods
• Ad hoc method
• Checklists
• Matrices
• Overlays
• Networks
5. Ad hoc method
Simple method based on subjective environment impacts on broad aspects.
Ad hoc method is useful when time constraints and lack of information require
that the EIA must rely exclusively on expert opinion.
It provides minimal guidance for total impact assessment while suggesting the
broad areas of possible impacts and the general nature of these possible impacts.
When more scientific methods are available, it is not recommended.
Types of ad hoc method:
Opinion polls.
Experts opinion.
Delphi methods etc
6. ADVANTAGE
Specialists on a particular area will provide guidance.
DISADVANTAGE
It require expert.
Short/long term impact are merely examined on guess basis.
Identification , prediction and interpretation of impacts are quite poor
7. Checklist method
Checklist means a listing of potential Environmental Impacts.
This method is done to assess the nature of the impacts i.e. its type such as
adverse /beneficial , short term or long term , no effect or significant
impact , reversible or irreversible etc.
Types of checklist method:
Simple Lists.
Descriptive Checklists.
Scaling Checklists.
Questionnaire Checklists.
8. ADVANTAGES
Simple to understand and use.
Good for site selection and priority setting.
DISADVANTAGES
Do not distinguish between direct and indirect impacts.
Do not link action and impact.
Sometime it is a cumbersome task.
9. Matrices
Matrix and its variants provide us a framework of interaction of different
actions /activities of a project with potential EI caused by them.
A simple interaction matrix is formed where project actions are listed along one
axis i.e. vertically and EI are listed along the other side i.e. horizontally.
It was pioneer by Leopold et al(1971).
It lists about 100 project actions and about 88 environmental characteristic and
condition.
10. ADVANTAGES
Link action to impact
Good method for displaying EIA results
DISADVANTAGES
Difficult to distinguish direct and indirect impacts
Significant potential for double-counting of impacts
Qualitative
11. Network method
It uses the matrix approach by extending it take into account primary as well the
secondary impacts.
Shown in the form of tree called as Relevance/Impact tree/Sequence diagram.
Identification of direct ,indirect /short and long term environment impact is a
crucial and intact basic step of making Impact tree.
Used to identify cause-effect linkages
Visual description of linkages
12. ADVANTAGES
Link action to impact
Useful in simplified form in checking for second order impacts
Handles direct and indirect impacts
DISADVANTAGES
Can become overly complex if used beyond simplified version
Qualitative
13. Overlays:- Mc Harg(1968,69)
Rely on a set of maps of a project area’s environmental
characteristics covering physical , social, ecological, aesthetic
aspects.
Separate mapping of critical environmental features at the same
scale as project's site plan e.g. wetlands, steep slopes, soils,
floodplains, bedrock outcrops, wildlife habitats, vegetative
communities, and cultural resources...
Older Technique: environmental features are mapped on
transparent plastic in different colors.
Newer Technique: Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
14. ADVANTAGES
Easy to understand and use
Good display method
Good for site selection setting
DISADVANTAGE
Address only direct impacts
Do not address impact duration or probability
15. Impact prediction
The accumulated knowledge of the findings of the environmental
investigations form the basis for the prediction of impacts.
Once a potential impact has been determined during scoping process ,it is
necessary to identify which project activity will cause impact , and its
magnitude and extent.
Methods of impact prediction:
Best estimate professional judgement .
Quantitative mathematical models .
Experiments and physical models .
Case studies as analogues or references .
16. Points to consider for impact
prediction
1. Baseline condition
2. Un certainty
3. Spatial limits
4. Temporary boundaries
5. Incremental condition
6. Quantitative and Qualitative methods
17. Impact evaluation
Its purpose is to assign relative significance to predicted impacts associated with
the projects and to determine the order in which impacts are to be avoided ,
mitigated or compensated.
Criteria for evaluating potential effects:
Importance of affected resource
Magnitude and extent of disturbance
Duration and frequency
Risk/likelihood of occurrence
Reversibility
Contribution to cumulative impacts
18. Evaluation of EIA system effectiveness
Be considered effective if
Information generated in the EIA contributed to decision making.
Predictions were accurate
Proposed mitigatory and compensatory measure achieved approved management
objectives
Efficiency criteria are satisfied if
EIA decisions are timely relative to economic and other factors determine project
decisions
Costs of conducting EIA can be determined and are reasonable.
19. Process for evaluation of cumulative
effects
The area in which the effects of the proposed action will occur
The impacts that are expected in that area from the proposed action
Other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable actions that have or are
expected to have impacts in the area
The impacts or expected impacts from those other actions
The overall impact that can be expected if the individual impacts are
allowed to accumulate
20. Conclusion
The above simple techniques of EIA such as impact
identification ,prediction ,evaluation are used for
measuring environment variables and construction of
a number of indices to describe the changes in
environmental inventory.
