Onion decreases the ovariectomy-induced osteopenia in young adult ratsYu-Ting Lai
This study investigated whether an onion-enriched diet could prevent bone loss caused by ovariectomy in rats. Rats were divided into groups: sham surgery control, ovariectomy only, ovariectomy with alendronate treatment, and ovariectomy with diets containing 3%, 7%, or 14% onion powder. After 6 weeks, the 14% onion diet group and alendronate group showed higher bone volume and fewer signs of bone loss and weakness compared to the ovariectomy only group. The onion diet protected bone in a dose-dependent manner, though the alendronate treatment was slightly more effective. This suggests that an onion-enriched diet can help counteract bone loss caused by estrogen deficiency.

National Research Results: How Different Student Subgroups Use Closed Captioning3Play Media
University students with hearing disabilities aren’t the only ones who depend on closed captioning to succeed in their courses.
How many students struggling to focus in class rely on closed captions to help retain information from a video? What about students who speak English as a second language? What other student subgroups benefit from closed captioning?
Earlier this year, the Oregon State University (OSU) Ecampus Research Unit conducted a nationwide research project on closed captioning in higher education. With over 2,800 student respondents, this is the largest study on the topic to date.
In this third installment of our joint webinar series, Dr. Katie Linder, the head researcher on the project, will take a closer look at how different student subgroups use and perceive captioning and transcription at their institutions (beyond the need for accommodation).
This presentation will cover:
Data & results from the student study, broken down by student subgroups
Student subgroup awareness of the availability of captioning
Student subgroup use of captioning and transcription
How the availability of closed captions and transcripts impacts students’ perceptions of whether they are helpful or a hindrance
How students with disabilities compare to students without disabilities regarding closed caption and transcript use
The percent of overall students responding who report using closed captions or transcripts as a learning aid

Analyzing Data and Exploring Research StrategiesSydneyHendricks2
West Central High School is located in rural, western Illinois with a total enrollment of 232 students in 2019 (Illinois Report Card, 2019). The student population is predominantly white, with only 6.5% of students who are non-white (Illinois Report Card, 2019). According to Illinois Report Card (2019), half of the students at West Central High School come from low-income families, and 13% of the students have Individualized Education Plans (IEPs). These populations are notable due to the results on standardized achievement tests, which indicate that the school is not meeting the needs of students of low income or of students with special needs in mathematics. In fact, the school is underperforming across the board in mathematics. Evidence of this statement is visible in Figure 1. West Central High School recognizes this shortcoming and has identified goals in the school improvement plan (SIP) to help improve student performance in mathematics on standardized test. Although the SIP includes several action steps for meeting their goals, a team of colleagues and I have identified West Central High School’s SIP could be improved by including different action steps to reach their goal. In this report is a data analysis supporting the area of need for West Central High School as well as research supporting best practices the school should implement to better serve their students and meet their goal of improving students’ math achievement.

Indigenous History Month Art Activity
In June 2022, we got together virtually to celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Month by working our way through a month-long art project. Each person was to think of an Indigenous artist they admire, research the artist and their work, and create a piece of art for themselves influenced by the artist they had chosen. Throughout the month we presented on these artists and why we connect to their art and discussed important topics like appropriation vs. appreciation. We learned a lot about Indigenous artists in Canada and about each other and ourselves. The art project allowed people to connect with their heritage as well as Indigenous peoples; it was as much a research and art project as it was a team-building and self-reflection activity.

Presenting about UBC’s efforts to implement and evaluate team chat as a learning technology for online and blended courses. Team chat (like Slack) is a transformative communication and collaboration technology, combining threaded discussions with real-time chat in an intuitive and flexible way. Features like persistent history, advanced search capability, file sharing, typing status, mobile apps, and emoji reactions add up to a versatile tool that is still easy to use.
Research shows how timely interactions with instructors, collaboration with classmates, and a sense of community can enhance teaching and learning. This is particularly important in an online learning environment. Team chat has given our students a direct communication channel to their instructor and each other, helping them connect, ask questions, seek clarification, collaborate, and build community.
Since 2016, the Faculty of Education has been piloting an open source team chat application called Mattermost on a UBC-hosted server. Unlike Slack or Microsoft Teams, which are both cloud-hosted outside of Canada, Mattermost allows us to keep student data secure in compliance with BC’s Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act (FIPPA). Mattermost has been used in over 20 course sections across the faculties of Education, Arts, and Science. As of December 2017, the UBC Mattermost pilot consists of 100 daily active users, 300 monthly active users, and almost 70,000 posts.
Attendees will learn (and chat) about:
• Ways team chat can enhance learning
• How team chat has been applied in real use cases including online program cohorts, learning communities, and research teams
• The relationship between secure, safe, transparent platforms and academic freedom
Mattermost will be blended into the session, allowing attendees to choose the conversation(s) they wish to join, participate in real-time, network with colleagues, and carry on chatting after the Festival of Learning concludes.

Many educational institutions are grappling with the troubling rise of mental health challenges within their communities. Issues such as depression and anxiety are becoming increasingly common not only within the student population but also among instructors and educational administrators, many of whom find their collegial environments to be fraught with new hurdles involving the care and wellness of people.
Bedrock human values such as belonging, trust, and emotional safety are becoming harder to develop and sustain in educational environments undergoing turmoil and change from a variety of influences. How might we preserve and nurture these values? How might we commit to practices that cultivate the wellness and well-being of our colleagues and communities? How might we commit to environments of authentic caring in which people feel emotionally safe and valued?
Over the past year, a small group of practitioners at several local institutions (BCcampus, Douglas College, Vancouver Community College) has been working on projects designed to encourage emotional care and wellness. In this interactive session on the theme of "Mental Health for all within and across our organizations", these practitioners will each share the hurdles and rewards of their process. The purpose of the session will be to provide participants with perspectives and tools to use in approaching themes of care and wellness at their own institutions -- with colleagues, students, and community partners.
The experiential session will be informed by the practice, theory, and research currently being conducted at the partner institutions involved in these projects. Participants will hear about common hurdles involved in promoting the care and wellness of people, will hear perspectives about navigating the complex terrain of human relationships, and will practice tools and ideas for moving forward with their own initiatives.

An adventure into creation of OER: A STEM wiki projectBCcampus
Presentation by Pamini Thangarajah, Associate Professor, Mount Royal University
Removing financial barriers to undergraduate education is crucial, and the creation of open educational resources (OER) will directly help. And not only would the resources developed benefit the students as they are taking the class, but also by making the material open, it could be used by other faculty and students, not only at your institution but beyond.
In an appreciation of my financially unburden educational experience, I have explored what I can do to help the students to access the required learning materials. There is no open text(s) available that can be used for this course. To this end, I have created the resources in an open educational environment.
In this session, I will be walking you through my experience of creating open educational resources for a mathematics course at the Mount Royal University, Calgary.

Scholarly Teaching to SoTL: Exploring the Shared "S" BCcampus
The document discusses the relationship between scholarly teaching and the scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL). It notes that while all faculty should strive for scholarly teaching, not all will engage in SoTL. Several scholars are cited that discuss definitions and distinctions between scholarly teaching and SoTL. Scholarly teaching refers to applying scholarly standards to one's teaching, while SoTL involves systematically reflecting on teaching in a way that can be shared and built upon by other academics. The document also discusses attempts to define SoTL that have struggled due to the diversity of SoTL.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
