The document presents WFP's Corporate Action Plan (2010-2011) to support implementation of its new gender policy. The plan aims to mainstream gender into WFP operations through various institutional support measures, programming priorities, and capacity development activities. Key targets include ensuring 75% of WFP programs and projects incorporate gender perspectives; training 500 staff on gender issues; and supporting gender mainstreaming in 50% of partner countries' food/nutrition plans by 2011. The plan will be evaluated every two years to measure progress and ensure gender is integrated across all of WFP's work.
Lessons in the Integration of CMAM & IMCI Activities_Swedberg_5.12.11CORE Group
This study evaluated the effectiveness of a community-based program for managing severe acute malnutrition (SAM) in Bangladesh. 261 community health workers were trained to screen, assess, and treat children aged 6-36 months with SAM. Preliminary results found high recovery rates and low mortality. Early identification and treatment of SAM and illness likely contributed to the positive outcomes. Coverage was also high due to the decentralized network of health workers and community mobilization around SAM. While facility-based care had low uptake and high default rates, community-based management integrating outpatient and inpatient care was an effective strategy for ensuring treatment of SAM cases.

Key challenges are expanding capacity for implementation across five regions and ensuring gender and youth tools are used in all activities. Partnerships with organizations working on gender, youth, and dryland issues will help leverage networks, capacities, and uptake of innovations.
The Impact of Pandemic Lockdown Measures on Nutrition of School-age Children:...POSHAN
The survey assessed the health and nutrition of school-aged children in Pakistan before and after COVID-19 lockdowns. It found that lockdowns reduced household incomes and access to healthcare while increasing food insecurity, sedentary behavior, child labor, and malnutrition. Recommendations include developing better data on pandemics' indirect effects and holistic strategies that consider their multifaceted impacts.
Gender and a food secure future: What do we need to know? What do we need to do?CGIAR
1) Closing the gender gap in agriculture and food systems can reduce rural poverty, increase food security, improve nutrition and health, and enable more sustainable natural resource management.
2) However, interventions must consider heterogeneity as effects vary based on other aspects of people's lives like location. A cash transfer program in Brazil increased women's decision making in urban but not rural households.
3) More knowledge is still needed on barriers facing women in areas like mobility, job choice, and work burdens in order to design effective policies and programs. The CGIAR is working to better understand these issues to close gender knowledge gaps.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths ForwardLeonel Morgado
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.
EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...Sérgio Sacani
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.
The debris of the ‘last major merger’ is dynamically youngSérgio Sacani
The Milky Way’s (MW) inner stellar halo contains an [Fe/H]-rich component with highly eccentric orbits, often referred to as the
‘last major merger.’ Hypotheses for the origin of this component include Gaia-Sausage/Enceladus (GSE), where the progenitor
collided with the MW proto-disc 8–11 Gyr ago, and the Virgo Radial Merger (VRM), where the progenitor collided with the
MW disc within the last 3 Gyr. These two scenarios make different predictions about observable structure in local phase space,
because the morphology of debris depends on how long it has had to phase mix. The recently identified phase-space folds in Gaia
DR3 have positive caustic velocities, making them fundamentally different than the phase-mixed chevrons found in simulations
at late times. Roughly 20 per cent of the stars in the prograde local stellar halo are associated with the observed caustics. Based
on a simple phase-mixing model, the observed number of caustics are consistent with a merger that occurred 1–2 Gyr ago.
We also compare the observed phase-space distribution to FIRE-2 Latte simulations of GSE-like mergers, using a quantitative
measurement of phase mixing (2D causticality). The observed local phase-space distribution best matches the simulated data
1–2 Gyr after collision, and certainly not later than 3 Gyr. This is further evidence that the progenitor of the ‘last major merger’
did not collide with the MW proto-disc at early times, as is thought for the GSE, but instead collided with the MW disc within
the last few Gyr, consistent with the body of work surrounding the VRM.

14. Strengthening Food Safety in Cambodia: Establishment of Food
Safety Technical Working Group for Food Safety (FOS TWG)
• Inter-Ministerial Prakas 868 (2010) on the Implementation and
Institutional Arrangements of Food Safety Based on the Farm to
Table Approach has mandated 6 Ministries to share the
responsibility for food safety.
• However, each Ministry still manages food safety through
separate systems. Even though coordination and information
sharing across sectors has been in place, this is still ad-hoc and
very limited.
Objective: To enhance systematic sharing of information and
routine communication in the field of food safety across sectors:
Multi-sectoral Technical Working Group for Food Safety (FOS
TWG)
15. Proposed way forward
To add food safety research and training
(taskforce) into the existing national food safety
technical working group to strengthen the existing
group and optimise the synergy of, and to avoid
duplication of efforts in different food safety
activities in the countries.
16. • Multi-sectoral Technical Working Group for Food Safety (FOS
TWG) has been established
– Objective is to enhance systematic sharing of information and routine
communication in the field of food safety across sectors
