The document discusses using real-world zoos and academic psychology research to promote conservation action. It describes how zoos can influence visitor attitudes and emotions to encourage pro-environmental behaviors. Studies showed zoo experiences can shift perspectives but don't necessarily lead to actions. Partnerships between zoos, universities, and conservation groups developed behavioral models testing how visitor emotions impact post-visit behaviors. The research identified emotionally arousing experiences and measured changes in attitudes and intentions toward conservation actions. While most attitudes did not change, the studies provided insights into improving behavior change messaging and identifying impactful actions for zoos to promote.

Inspiring consumers to adopt a vegan lifestyle is complicated by many opposing influences. For many people, veganism is a long-term journey. Activists must continue on a steady and prolonged course of interactions with consumers to keep vegan messaging present in consumers’ minds and dietary choices.
This information was presented by Leslie Barcus, Executive Director of VegFund as part of the new Activist Learning Series. This particular webinar addresses why evaluating behavior change is complex and presents ideas about how activists can gain insights into the success of their advocacy efforts.

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.

It is possible to hide or invisible some fields in odoo. Commonly using “invisible” attribute in the field definition to invisible the fields. This slide will show how to make a field invisible in odoo 17.
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.

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

Simon Garrett: Real World Zoos + Academic Psychology = World Changing Action Research?
1. Real-world zoos
+ academic psychology
world changing action research?
Simon Garrett, Head of Learning, Bristol Zoo Gardens sgarrett@bristolzoo.org.uk
6. WAZA:
The educational focus should induce a
feeling of wonder and respect for the web of
life and our role in it; it should engage the
emotions and build on this experience to
create a conservation ethic that can be
carried into action.
7. Learning
at Bristol Zoo:
38,000 pupils in education sessions
650,000 visitors a year
Learning outcomes:
• Activity, behaviour and progression
• Skills
• Enjoyment, creativity and inspiration
• Attitudes, values and feelings
• Knowledge and understanding
8. We need to get everyone (i.e. normal people) involved
in conservation to be truly effective in the long term …
… the sustainable future for wildlife and people.
• Connection
• Action

Monash University
16. Studies into the zoo proposition
• Some show that visitors are already active in
conservation
• Few studies have tested the impact of different
types of experiences
• Most behaviour studies in zoos show little support
for the zoo proposition
• BUT…
Tourism Research Unit
17. Emotion may be important
• Attention
• Memory
• Behaviour through
cognitive and affective
models
• So there is definitely
potential…
Tourism Research Unit
18. Four studies to examine the impact of visitor
emotions on the behaviour of visitors
– Identify experiences to test
– Test them for emotional arousal
– Develop measures of behaviour
– Test the impact of emotion on behaviour
Tourism Research Unit
19. Identify experiences to test
• Consultation with ZV staff from each property
• Eight selected
– Orang presentation
– Elephant presentation
– Butterfly house
– Bus tour
– Rip Roaring Feed tour
– BOP show
– Watching an operation at the AWHC
– Watching a reptile show
Tourism Research Unit
20. Test them for emotional arousal
Tourism Research Unit
22. Results
• The two most consistently
emotionally arousing
experiences were...
– The BOP show – this
was chosen
(3 behaviours already
asked, open to all)
– Rip Roaring Feed tour
Tourism Research Unit
23. Develop measures of behaviour
• Attitudes toward behaviours
and behavioural intentions
for:
• Buying 100% recycled
• Recycling paper and cardboard
• Removing road kill off the road
Tourism Research Unit
24. Testing the impact of emotion on behaviour
• Measured attitudes and intentions before and after
BOP show
• Measured emotion and attention-paying during the
show
• Examined the relationship between emotion and
changes in attitudes and intentions
• Measured attitudes and intentions of those who didn’t
go to the show
Tourism Research Unit
25. Findings
• Most attitudes and intentions for the recycling
behaviours did not change as a result of attending
the BOP show
• Attitude toward and intention to remove road kill did
change but emotion probably wasn’t the reason
• First time visitors experience more emotional
arousal and this may distract them from requests
Tourism Research Unit
26. Some suggestions
• Separate the WOW
from the REQUEST
• Repetition
• Emotion into the
REQUEST
• Choose novel
behaviours
Tourism Research Unit
27. What to ask?
• New
• Easy
• Response efficacy high or explained
• On-site options
+ consider the number of people you want to influence
Tourism Research Unit
28. Results of applying NERO
• Ran 8 workshops with zoo staff around Australia
• Elicited large lists of behaviours
• Applying NERO criteria led to prioritising
– Political engagement and activism
– Consumerism

• Study 1 – belief elicitation
– Some beliefs were predictable:
• buying 100% recycled TP will save trees
• buying 100% recycled TP will save wildlife
• it feels uncomfortable to use
• it costs more
– Some were less common:
• my spouse is an important other
• opaque packaging makes it harder to buy

1. 100% recycled toilet paper feels uncomfortable
compared to using non-recycled toilet paper
2. 100% recycled toilet paper costs more than non-
recycled toilet paper
3. 100% recycled toilet paper is too thin and tears easily

47. Wipe for Wildlife – 2010/11
• Board gave approval but Rachel was told to keep complaint log. First
complaint was that Crapman wasn’t there the day a family visited.
• 27,000 households engaged
• 45% of visitors got the message
• 27% of non-compliers switched
• Crapman was the most
effective influence
48. Another example...
• At Adelaide, we found these beliefs important
for donating at an enormous globe...
– It is clear what the globe is for
(confusion about ‘Conservation Ark’)
– My kids would approve if I
put money in the donation globe
– If I put money in the donation globe,
it will help endangered species
Tourism Research Unit
49. Conservation ARK

56. A final example...
• At Taronga, we found differences for...
– It will fund the Tasmanian devil breeding program
– The keepers would approve of me donating to the Tassie Devil
Appeal
– My kids would approve
– I could easily find / see the donation box
– The design of the donation box was good
– There was not enough information about the Tassie Devil Appeal

Tourism Research Unit
59. Conclusions
• Research can help guide but identifying
the message is just the start
• The TPB is just one of many approaches
that can be used
• Need to compare methods
Tourism Research Unit
63. The personal threshold measure...
How many times during a visit
should the zoo ask you to help
wildlife?
Oh, I reckon about five times
How many times were you asked
to help wildlife today?
Two times today.. that I can
remember
AHA, so your threshold wasn’t
crossed and you could have
been asked three more times
Tourism Research Unit
64. Is this all too much?
• Very few visitors have their personal
threshold crossed
• Visitor satisfaction goes up the more
you ask
• … as long as you only ask for money
once
Tourism Research Unit
Editor's Notes
Let’s look at some MonashUni research
If this is what zoos say that they are doing/can do, then let’s challenge and research the validity of that proposition
THE GRAPH HAS BOTH HEART RATE AND RESPIRATORY SINUS ARRHYTHMIA ON IT WHICH BOTH MEASURE EMOTIONAL AROUSAL BUT IN DIFFERENT WAYS. THE LATTER IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED AS A BETTER MEASURE AND MOMENTS OF PEAK AROUSAL ARE INDICATED BY LOWER SCORES (IE TROUGHS). I ALSO INCLUDED HEART RATE BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE ARE FAMILIAR WITH THIS MEASURE SO IT MAKES MORE SENSE TO THEM. three yellow arrows WERE WHEN BEHAVIOUR REQUESTS WERE MADE BY THE PRESENTER FOR THIS PARTICULAR PERSON/ SHOW.
Why this theory? General theory of behaviour. Proven in many contexts. Many studies support the model. Can be operationalised.
Only did Studies one and two for the two non-existent behaviours
