Land Use Change and European Biofuel PoliciesDavid Laborde
This presentation gives a detailed overview of the 2011 report done by IFPRI (Laborde, 2011) for the European Commission on the land use consequences of EU biofuel mandates (available at http://www.ifpri.org/sites/default/files/publications/biofuelsreportec2011.pdf )
The report aims to compute iLUC (indirect land use change) factor for different feedstocks using the MIRAGE-Biof CGE model.
This presentation looks at the challenge facing Irish farming both to grow output and limit greenhouse gas emissions from its largely livestock-based agriculture. It argues that putting a price on carbon emissions from agriculture would help to level the playing field with other land-based activities which can sequester carbon.

Unaccounted emissions from biofuels - Presentation at UNFCCC Bonn Climate Tal...Wetlands International
Converting carbon-rich lands such as rainforests, peatlands, savannas or grasslands to produce biofuels will increase CO2 emissions for decades or centuries, releasing 17 to 420 times more CO2 than the fossil fuels they replace.

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

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.
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.

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.
Honest Reviews of Tim Han LMA Course Program.pptxtimhan337
Personal development courses are widely available today, with each one promising life-changing outcomes. Tim Han’s Life Mastery Achievers (LMA) Course has drawn a lot of interest. In addition to offering my frank assessment of Success Insider’s LMA Course, this piece examines the course’s effects via a variety of Tim Han LMA course reviews and Success Insider comments.
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.
Overview on Edible Vaccine: Pros & Cons with Mechanism
Partnering for Impact Brussels Marelli

2. 1. Estimating GHG emissions from increased LUC
JRC took IFPRI (2011) cropland expansion results and applied its own
independent methodology
- to distribute land use changes onto different land types
− to estimate the resulting GHG emissions from changes in Soil Organic
Carbon (SOC), Biomass carbon stocks and N2O (Nitrous Oxide) from
mineralized soils
JRC Cropland Spatial allocation Methodology (CSAM)
The new cropland is spatially distributed according to specific criteria
such as:
Historical trends on cropland expansion
Agro-ecological suitability of the land for a given crop
Proximity to similar crops
Protected areas
13 December 2013
2
3. JRC and IFPRI used two different methodologies/databases
but found similar GHG emissions
• Biomass carbon
emissions mainly
depend on fraction of
deforestation, and
values are very similar
in the two studies
• Less loss of carbon
from mineral soil in JRC
analysis
• Peat emissions are far
more important (about
50% of total emissions)
in JRC work. JRC used
a more updated
value for peat
emission factor.

6. 2020 EU wheat yield corrected
REASON
HOW
IFPRI 2011 projections of EU
wheat yield in 2020 were much
higher than the DG-AGRI and
OECD-FAO projections for the
same year
The EU27 wheat yield has been
reduced in the baseline scenario
2020 from 8 t/ha in the 2011 report
to 5.5 t/ha. This now matches the
AG-LINK estimates for 2020.
RESULTS
• Ethanol from wheat scenario
is affected
• The resulting ILUC emissions
and area are moderately
higher than the 2011 values
(+15% and +20%
respectively)

REASON
HOW
IFPRI 2011 projections of EU
wheat yield in 2020 were much
higher than the DG-AGRI and
OECD-FAO projections for the
same year
The EU27 wheat yield has been
reduced in the baseline scenario
2020 from 8 t/ha in the 2011 report
to 5.66 t/ha. This now matches the
AG-LINK estimates for 2020.
RESULTS
• Ethanol from wheat scenario
is affected
• The resulting ILUC emissions
and area are moderately
higher than the 2011 values
(+15% and +20%
respectively)
7
8. No expansion of ‘other oilseeds’ to major crops
REASON
HOW
IFPRI 2011 work assumed that
major crops could replace the
crop category “other oilseeds”
as easily as any other arable
crop. The JRC discovered that in
EU, this led to areas of olives
being replaced by grains.
IFPRI has restrained the
expansion of other cropping
activities into “other oilseeds” for
the EU. It avoids the expansion of
major crops into other oilseeds (such
as olive tree).
RESULTS
• Slight effect on the final ILUC emissions for key EU commodities such as
sugar beet, cereals and rapeseed.
• lLUC emissions increase from 0% to 29% compared to the IFPRI 2011
values
9. No expansion of ‘other oilseeds’ to major crops
RESULTS
• Slight effect on the final ILUC emissions for key EU commodities such as
sugar beet, cereals and rapeseed.
• lLUC emissions increase from 0% to 29% compared to the IFPRI 2011
values
10. Freeze food consumption
REASON
HOW
The crop-price increases cause a
reduction in consumption (for
food) as well as an increase in
crop supply. This means that
part of the crop needed for the
biofuel comes from reduction in
the other competing sectors,
principally food consumption,
and this comes free of ILUC.
Food consumption is maintained
constant in household and agrofood sector demand
RESULTS
• Compared to the 2011 report, several crops, except sugar beet and
rapeseed, show an increase in GHG emissions
11. Freeze food consumption
REASON
HOW
The crop-price increases cause a
reduction in consumption (for
food) as well as an increase in
crop supply. This means that
part of the crop needed for the
biofuel comes from reduction in
the other competing sectors,

Food consumption is maintained
constant in household and agrofood sector demand
RESULTS
• Compared to the 2011 report, several crops, except sugar beet and
rapeseed, show an increase in GHG emissions
12. Cumulative results
Combining the two main corrections on the 2020 EU wheat yield and the
assumption on the expansion into other oilseeds in EU, the results are:
- Increase of annualised LUC emissions
from 0% to more than 30%
compared to the 2011 report values
- Increase of cropland area from
0% to more than 30%
compared to the 2011 report
values
13. Cumulative results
Combining thethe three effects (EU wheat yield, no expansion into other
all two main corrections on the 2020 EU wheat yield and the
assumptionEU and freeze food), the results are: the results are:
oilseeds in on the expansion into other oilseeds,
Increase of cropland area from
annualised LUC emissions
- Increase of LUC emissions from 30% - -Change of cropland area from -24%
