The money market in Bangladesh provides short-term lending between financial institutions and involves various instruments like treasury bills and certificates of deposit. It has developed gradually over time and now includes interbank lending as well as call money and bill markets. However, it remains transitional with continued efforts to develop adequate instruments and a more market-oriented structure. Interest rates are determined competitively by individual banks but the money market experiences occasional volatility and high rates due to factors like monetary policy and government borrowing levels.

This document outlines a plan to make the ASB Fuglesangs Allé campus more climate neutral. It begins with an introduction describing the current lack of focus on environmental issues from ASB administration. A student survey found willingness but lack of opportunity to behave sustainably. The plan involves getting ASB management attention through public, media, and policy agendas. Initial steps include creating a Facebook group and engaging student organizations to raise the issue's profile and move it up the agenda. Progress will be measured by tracking policy changes and campus media coverage of environmental topics. The overall goal is to facilitate structural changes to allow sustainable behavior through upstream interventions targeting ASB leadership.

Analysing The Theme Of Pollution In Portuguese Geography And Biology TextbooksDeja Lewis
This document analyzes how pollution is addressed in Portuguese geography and biology textbooks from grades 3 to 12. The main findings are:
1) Pollution is the most frequently discussed environmental topic across grades, appearing in all textbooks. It occupies the majority of environmental education content in some textbooks.
2) Textbooks generally portray humans as owners and users of nature, rather than guests. They emphasize the planet's resources for humans over its resources shared with other species.
3) Textbooks rely more on technological solutions to pollution than changes to individual and social behaviors. They express unlimited trust in science and technology over applying the precautionary principle.
4) Textbooks give more attention to pollution's impacts on humans
Critical Thinking and Collaborative Problem-Solving for Improving Education P...IEREK Press
The global ecological crisis is an indispensable issue that needs to be solved. The importance of developing critical thinking and communication skills in teaching-learning methods will help to enhance education performance; as well, the students would become informed participants in environmental decision-making. Lebanon is suffering from multiple ecological problems due to the environmental mismanagement, particularly energy problems. For this reason, training the Lebanese students mainly in architecture schools should to think critically about environmental issues, and using collaborative problem-solving as one of teaching-learning methods and techniques, which will be directly reflected in finding solutions to the problem under investigation. The researcher aims to experiment and apply this method in a history of architecture class at faculty of architecture, to improve the environmental quality of health and wellbeing in historical built environment. This will increase the awareness for conservation aspects of architectural heritage in students, on the one hand. In addition to spread the spirit of teamwork, to facilitate the concept of integrated design process between the different disciplines when practicing professional life, on the other hand. Therefore, the study aims to produce a new methodology for integrating teaching-learning method in architecture, presenting various international attempts of thermal retrofit in historical built environment, guiding the architectural students to follow the same approach of such projects, which will save energy in a country that has a major problem in electricity. The case study is based on a real problem in a realistic situation in Tripoli old Souks at north Lebanon, in which the instructor and the students will analyze and propose some solutions of building thermal retrofit within this historical context, using collaborative problem-solving strategy that could clarifying its reversal extent on the validity of health and wellbeing with the continuity of conserving the architectural heritage.
The document defines ecological literacy as understanding one's place in the ecosystem and discusses its key aspects. Ecological literacy requires shifts in perception, knowledge, and actions. It emphasizes seeing subjects as integrated relationships rather than isolated units, and understanding qualities and processes over quantities and structures. The goal is to develop people who are inquisitive, reflective, self-directed, responsible, and seek to transcend personal interests for the broader environment.

This document discusses how academic environmental programs need to evolve to address a new environmental agenda. It outlines the origins of the old environmental agenda in the 1960s-70s based on legislation and issues around pollution. However, a new agenda has emerged considering humanity's growing impact on global systems through climate change, sustainability, and biodiversity loss. The document argues interdisciplinary environmental programs must integrate themes like energy, health, and enterprise to prepare students for careers across many fields and help rebuild economies. Updating programs requires understanding both the old agenda, humanity's now profound role in environmental change, and trends reflecting needs to explore complex new issues.
Action Research And Community Problem Solving Environmental Education In An ...Justin Knight
This article discusses using an action research and community problem-solving (AR&CPS) approach to environmental education at Pistons Middle School in Detroit, Michigan. The key points are:
1) AR&CPS is a model that engages students in identifying an environmental issue in their community, developing a plan to address it, taking action, and evaluating the results in an iterative process. This gives students responsibility over their education and connects learning to real-world problems.
2) Implementing AR&CPS at Pistons Middle School presented challenges as outside facilitators initiated the project. Gaining trust from the school community required immersing oneself in the school and neighborhood contexts.

Abstract
Experimental teaching is very important in education of engineering´ students. This activity promotes the interactivity and the participation of the students, propitiating that they acquire knowledge, skills, habits and attitudes. In this work we present an open problem of flow of fluids that is solved by experimentation, to help the students achieve meaningful learning in this subject.
Keywords: Empirical models, flow of fluids, problem solving, experimentation.
Here are some of the major causes of environmental pollution:
- Industrialization - As industries grew rapidly in the 19th and 20th centuries, they released large amounts of untreated waste into the air, water, and land. Emissions from factories, power plants, and manufacturing facilities contribute significantly to air, water, soil, and noise pollution.
- Urbanization - As more people move to cities, demand for housing, transportation, energy, and consumer goods increases. Urban areas generate large quantities of waste and pollution from vehicles, power plants, construction, and consumer products. Improper waste disposal is also a major issue.
- Agriculture - Conventional agricultural practices can degrade soil quality and contaminate water sources with fertilizers, pest
A Know-How vs. Know-What Approach in the Teaching-Learning.pdfAliZarif1
The document discusses approaches to teaching competences in physical chemistry. It proposes a multi-level problem-based learning approach to evaluate if a "know-how" or "know-what" perspective better enhances competence acquisition in students. Under this approach, problems are classified into three levels - (1) know-what (concepts), (2) know-why (competences), and (3) know-how (skills). A class would be divided into two groups, one using a bottom-up approach starting with know-what, and the other a top-down approach starting with know-how. Assessing the learning outcomes of both groups would determine the most suitable starting point for full competence mastery. The approach
Problem-based learning is a structured, student-led process that begins with a problem as the starting point for learning. It involves students reading a problem aloud, describing the essence of the problem in a few sentences or a title. Students then brainstorm anything potentially relevant to the problem and systematically organize these ideas thematically. Finally, students identify learning outcomes phrased as researchable questions based on the issues organized in the previous stage.

The document discusses several key issues regarding the use of expert testimony in court:
1) What constitutes expertise and how is it defined in a legal context? Experts must provide objective, unbiased opinions within their expertise but cases show expert opinions can differ substantially.
2) How are expert opinions formed and evaluated, and what factors influence this? Expert opinions are not always robust and transparent, potentially misleading juries.
3) How can expert opinions best be communicated to juries to aid their understanding of complex scientific or technical issues? Effective communication is important as juries must consider expert testimony along with other evidence.

The document discusses how university websites present information about law programs and legal education. It notes that websites often show what universities want students to know rather than the information students want. It also discusses how websites could be improved by providing more consistent and navigable information across institutions, including criteria like teaching hours, assessments, employment outcomes, facilities, and fees. The document concludes that while law program websites have improved with more professional and visual content since 2004, information is still often fragmented and not always up-to-date.
