This presentation was presented during the 3 Parallel session on Theme 2, Maintaining and/or increasing SOC stocks for climate change mitigation and adaptation and Land Degradation Neutrality, of the Global Symposium on Soil Organic Carbon that took place in Rome 21-23 March 2017. The presentation was made by Mr. Jorge Alvaro-Fuentes, from Spanish National Research Council - Spain, in FAO Hq, Rome
Soil sealing is the permanent covering of the land surface by buildings, infrastructures or any impermeable ar-tificial material. Beside the loss of fertile soils with a direct impact on food security, soil sealing modifies the hydrologi-cal cycle. This can cause an increased flooding risk, due to urban development in potential risk areas and to the increased volumes of runoff. This work estimates the increase of runoff due to sealing following urbanization and land take in the plain of Emilia Romagna (Italy), using the Green and Ampt infiltration model for two rainfall return periods (20 and 200 years) in two different years, 1976 and 2008. To this goal a hydropedological approach was adopted in order to charac-terize soil hydraulic properties via locally calibrated pedotransfer functions (PTF). PTF inputs were estimated via se-quential Gaussian simulations coupled with a simple kriging with varying local means, taking into account soil type and dominant land use. Results show that in the study area an average increment of 8.4% in sealed areas due to urbanization and sprawl induces an average increment in surface runoff equal to 3.5 and 2.7% respectively for 20 and 200-years return periods, with a maximum > 20% for highly sealed coast areas.
Bridging Aichi Targets 5, 11 and 15 with the Digital Observatory for Protecte...Gregoire Dubois
The Digital Observatory for Protected Areas (DOPA) has been developed over the last years by the Joint Research Centre (JRC) of the European Commission in collaboration with the UN Environment World Conservation Monitoring Centre (UNEP-WCMC), the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and BirdLife International to mainly support the work of the CBD Secretariat and the EU Biodiversity Strategy to 2020.
By providing a broad range of globally consistent and comparable indicators, based on global reference data sets, on protected area coverage, connectivity, species, ecosystems and pressures at country, ecoregion and protected area scale, the DOPA is the most advanced information system on protected areas and a reference information system that is particularly relevant for the UN Sustainable Development Goals 14 (Life below Water) and 15 (Life on Land).
These slides are presenting DOPA Explorer 3.0, a recently released (Nov. 2018) web-based application offering an unprecedented level of information on terrestrial, coastal and marine protected areas globally. DOPA Explorer 3.0 uses, among other indicators and data sources, new information on land degradation derived from JRC's latest World Atlas of Desertification (WAD) and earth observations data derived from Copernicus, the European Union's Earth Observation Programme. By doing so, this new version of DOPA Explorer provides unique information bridging the gap between Aichi Targets 5 on the loss of natural habitats, Target 11 on protected areas and Target 15 on the restoration of ecosystems.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

INTRODUCTION
Vineyards present some of the largest erosion
rates reported in agricultural areas in
Europe, although there is a large variability
in reported rates. Indeed, under the same
land use, erosional processes are highly
affected by climate, soil, topography and by
the adopted soil management practices
(SMP). The choice of SMP to be adopted is
the main way for farmers to control soil
erosion and meanwhile to increase other
ecosystem services in vineyards. Therefore, it
is very important to provide to farmers and
stakeholders a reliable evaluation of the
erosion risk associated to different SMP in
order to support their choices, for instance by
using soil erosion simulation models. The
Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation
(RUSLE) is one of the most widely used
erosion tool, however it requires a proper
calibration. This poster report the results of
the study addressed at providing the best
estimations of C-values with ORUSCAL, a
simplified erosion prediction model based on
RUSLE, in three relevant wine-growing areas
across Europe.
MAIN RESULTS
Proper calibration by ORUSCAL produced more
accurate values of RUSLE C-factor for the
different SMPs adopted in vineyards in the three
selected areas (Table 1).
Values for bare soil (BS) ranged from 0.17 to
0.27, representing in all location the worst
condition for soil protection. Temporary cover
crop (TCC) which was differently implemented
in Spain and in Austria, resulted in at least 48%
reduction of the C-factor values. The adoption of
permanent vegetation cover (PCC), at least in
the vineyard inter-rows, decreased the C-factor
to values lower than 15% of the C-value obtained
for BS in the same area. The C-factor assumed
values spanning from 0.01 to 0.27, which are
relatively homogeneous across locations and
lower than the general values indicated by
Panagos et al. (2015) for European vineyards
(0.15-0.45).
The soil erosion risk was evaluated by means of
the average annual soil loss (SL) (Table 1). In
Spain and Austria the TCC management
resulted in 54% and 24% predicted SL,
respectively, compared to vineyards managed
with bare soil. In all study areas, the PCC
management allowed a reduction greater than
90% of the predicted SL, with respect to BS
management.
The preliminary results of the study show the
importance of performing RUSLE calibration,
especially for the C-factor, when predicting soil
losses for land uses in which erosion risk is
highly affected by the SMP adopted, and the
effectiveness of ORUSCAL when limited
datasets are available.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
ORUSCAL is a simplified erosion prediction
model based on RUSLE, which was designed and
built to allow RUSLE calibration for a broad
range of management conditions in vineyards
with limited datasets (Gómez et al., 2016).
ORUSCAL was implemented in three wine-
growing regions in Spain, Italy, and Austria
(Fig.1) to obtain C-factor calibration and soil
erosion risk estimation. Climate data were taken
from nearby weather stations and rainfall
erosivity (R factor) from Ballabio et al. (2016).
The required topographic, soil, cover and
management information was taken from field
survey. In Spain and Austria, datasets were
obtained from sampling in 16 vineyards during
the VineDivers project (www.vinedivers.eu). The
vineyards were chosen to represent the two most
common soil management techniques in each
region (low or high intensity in terms of
encouraging ground cover in the alleys or not,
respectively), illustrated in Fig.2.
