This document discusses factors that influence attitudes toward food, including learning and familiarity, culture, and mood. Learning and familiarity are shaped by exposure to foods from a young age through parenting influences. Culture has a strong impact through factors like socioeconomic class, religion, ethnicity, and geography. Research shows families who eat together regularly consume healthier diets. Mood can influence eating, but its effects may depend on individual susceptibility and whether negative emotions elicit increased or decreased food intake. Stress does not always trigger overeating and may sometimes reduce appetite.

Theresearch suggests that peers on campus are important reference groups for college students’ unhealthy behavior, including unhealthy eating behavior. Guided by the Theory of Normative Social Behavior, the current study examined the role of group identity in the descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption link. The results suggest that the magnitude of the association between descriptive norms and unhealthy food consumption was greater as group identity with same-sex students on campus became stronger. The findings demonstrate that students were likely to model unhealthy food consumption of same-sex peers on campus.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter 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.
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.

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.

2. Opening Discussions
• Why is it important to
understand eating
behaviour?
• What foods do you like
and why do you think
you like them?
• Would you eat a pig, a
dog, a frog, a snail or a
horse or a cow? Who
would? Who wouldn’t?
3. Factors influencing attitudes to Food
What factors affect what we eat, how much we
eat and where we eat.
• Learning and familiarity
• Culture
• Mood
5. Learning and Familiarity
Exposure to Food
• Evidence - Birch and Marlin (1982) introduced
2 year old children to new foods over six
weeks. One food was presented 20 times, one
10 times, one five times and one remained
novel. They found a direct relationship
between exposure and food preference.
Specifically they found that 8-10 exposures
were usually necessary before preferences
began to shift significantly.
6. Learning and Familiarity
Learning through Rewards
• Operant conditioning. Children rewarded for
eating food.
• e.g parents praising or eat your greens and
have a sweet.
7. Learning and Familiarity
Learning through Rewards
• Evidence. Lepper et al (1982)
• Pre school children were told a short story about either a little boy or a
little girl (depending on the child’s gender) who were given two new
(imaginary) foods called Hoop and Hule. In the non contingent condition
the participants were told that the mother in the story offered one of the
foods first and then the other i.e. they were offered Hoop and then
Hule.This was non contingent because the having one kind of food was not
contingent on eating the other.
• In the contingent condition the mother in the story explained that the
child could only have one of the foods if they ate the other i.e. “you can
only have Hoop if you eat the Hule.”
• The children were later asked which foods they would rather eat.
• The results demonstrated that there were no clear preferences in the non
contingent condition whereas in the contingent condition children
preferred the food that had been used as a reward i.e. in the above
example they preferred to have Hoop.
9. Learning and Familiarity
Social Learning
• Evidence- Birch et al (1980) Used peer modelling
to change children’s preference for vegetables.
On four consecutive days, the children
participating in the study were seated at lunch
next to children who preferred a different
vegetable to themselves. By the end of the
study, the children showed a definite shift in their
vegetable preference. This preference was still
evident several weeks later. Those who initially
did not like peas at the outset did like them by
the end of the study.
11. Social Learning Theory
• Duncker (1938): Children observed a series of role models
including older children, a friend, their mother, an
unknown adult and a fictional hero making food choices
different to their own. The findings showed that all the role
models had an impact on the children’s subsequent food
choices except the unknown adult. Therefore children are
more likely to sample unfamiliar foods after they have seen
a significant role model (particularly their mother rather
than a stranger) eat the food. Parental attitudes and
behaviour is therefore an essential part of the social
learning process of food choice and eating behaviour. This
supports the behaviourist Social Learning explanation of
parental influence.
12. Learning and Familiarity
Social Learning
• Evidence - Olivera et al (1992) reported a clear
relationship between mother’s food intake for
most nutrients and their pre-school children.
They suggested that parents could be targeted
to try to improve children’s diets.
13. Culture
• Impact of class, income, religion, ethics,
ethnicity and geography on what we eat.
• In groups discuss and come back with one
example of each of the above
14. Culture - Research
S Dindyal, S Dindyal. How Personal
Factors, Including Culture And Ethnicity, Affect
The Choices And Selection Of Food We Make.
The Internet Journal of Third World Medicine.
2003 Volume 1 Number 2.
15. Culture - Research
• Newmark-Sztainer et al (2003) found that
frequency of eating meals as a family was
positively correlated with intake of
fruit, vegetables, grains and calcium rich
foods. This suggests that those cultures
that normalise eating together have an
important impact on the development of a
child’s attitude towards healthy diets.
16. Culture - Research
• Young and Nestle (2002) conducted a survey of take away
foods sold by chain restaurants. They found that portion
sizes had increased substantially from those served in the
past, in particular fries, burgers and drinks were two to five
times larger than when the items were originally marketed.
This has obviously led to an increase in calorie intake – as
much as 97Kcal per burger! Many researchers have found
that larger portions influence children’s eating behaviour by
promoting their intake of food. Clearly therefore cultures
that do not promote ‘oversizing’ may not choose to eat
such large portions, whilst those cultures that do promote
it may inadvertently increase portion size.
17. Culture - Research
• Leshem (2009) Compared the diets of ethnic
communities living close to each other in
Israel with equal access to shops and food. In
the Muslim community intake of
carbohydrates was twice that of the Christian
community.
• These findings show that cultural influences
on diet are profound and exist even when
there is equal access to the same foods.
18. Mood
• How does Mood influence eating?
Discussion – How does your Moodle affect
what you eat?
19. Mood - research
• Stone and Brownell (1994) Recorded daily
records of stress and eating patterns of 158
students for 84 days and reported that eating
less was the predominant response to stress.
• Oliver and Ward (1999) Assessed student’s
perceptions of the relationship between stress
and snacking. 73% of respondents stated that
stress increased their snacking and decreased
their consumption of meals.
20. Mood - Research
• Cools et al (1992): They discovered that stress only
triggered increased eating in people who were already
dieting. This suggests that stress only seems to trigger
eating in susceptible individuals.
• However, Conner et al (1999) studied the link between
daily hassles and snacking in students who completed
food diaries for a week. The results showed a link
between snacking and stress, with no differences in
relation to whether they were dieting. This goes
against the individual differences model because their
vulnerability did not make them eat more when
stressed.
21. Mood - Research
• Wolff et al (2000) investigated differences
between 20 female binge eaters and 20 female
normal eaters focusing on daily, self-reported
measures of mood, coping and eating behaviour
over a three week period. It was found that the
binge group reported more stress and negative
moods but that their stress levels were similar on
binge and non-binge days, whereas negative
mood states were more apparent on binge days.
This suggests that negative mood is more
influential to our eating behaviour than stress.
22. Mood - Research
• Stress and eating
• Stress reduces food intake? Laboratory studies
have found that participants eat less when
stressed (Willenbring et al, 1986), and this was
also demonstrated with marines during combat
situations (Popper et al, 1989).
• Stress increases food intake? A naturalistic study
of stress at work concluded that periods of high
workload were associated with greater intakes of
energy, particularly saturated fats and sugar.
(Wardle et al, 2000).
