While research assessing behavior-based energy interventions shows great promise, results vary widely and much is still unknown about the specific variables that impact program effectiveness. As utilities and regulatory agencies focus more attention on behavior-based energy interventions, it becomes critical to ensure that evaluations of such programs are rigorous and accurate. While the metric used to measure whether these various programs work (kWh) is fairly standard and easy to compare between studies, the metrics used to measure how and for whom they work have been left to individual researchers and evaluators. Standardization of assessment methods is common in related fields such as education and psychology, but has yet to take hold in energy program evaluation. This paper argues for a more systematic and comprehensive approach to the evaluation of behavior-based energy interventions, and describes a preliminary toolkit that is currently being developed and validated in conjunction with the International Energy Agency Demand Side Management Programme (IEA-DSM) Task 24 on Behavior Change as well as two large investor-owned utilities. Our approach is informed by theories and empirical research on behavior change as well as a content analysis of 85 behavior-based energy interventions. It includes questions on: context (demographics), user experience (ease of use, engagement), material culture (what people have), energy practices (what people do), and beliefs around energy use (what people think). Sample items for each construct and suggestions for implementation are presented. Broad use of such an instrument can improve and aggregate our overall knowledge across the countless additional studies expected to be conducted in the coming years.

Natural resources are materials created in nature that are used and usable by humans. They include natural substances (e.g., soil, water) and energy supplies (e.g., coal, gas) that serve to satisfy human needs and wants (Barsch and Bürger 1996; Minc 1976). Natural resources are the foundation of human existence, providing the essential elements necessary for survival, development, and prosperity. These resources encompass a wide range of substances and materials found in nature, including renewable and non-renewable sources. From the air we breathe to the water we drink, from the minerals beneath the earth's surface to the biodiversity of its ecosystems, natural resources play a crucial role in sustaining life on Earth. Understanding the diverse array of natural resources, their characteristics, distribution, utilization, and conservation, is fundamental to addressing global challenges such as environmental degradation, climate change, and sustainable development. Introduction to Natural Resources: Natural resources refer to the materials and substances that occur naturally in the environment and are utilized by living organisms for sustenance and growth. These resources can be broadly categorized into renewable and non-renewable resources based on their ability to replenish over time. Renewable Resources: Renewable resources are those that are replenished naturally and relatively quickly, making them potentially inexhaustible within human time scales. They include: Solar Energy: Solar energy is derived from the sun and is harnessed through technologies such as solar panels to produce electricity and heat. Wind Energy: Wind energy is generated by harnessing the kinetic energy of wind through wind turbines to produce electricity. Hydropower: Hydropower utilizes the kinetic energy of flowing water, such as rivers and streams, to generate electricity through turbines. Biomass: Biomass refers to organic materials derived from plants and animals, such as wood, agricultural residues, and organic waste, which can be used for energy production. Non-Renewable Resources: Non-renewable resources are finite and cannot be replenished within a human lifetime. They include: Fossil Fuels: Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas are formed from organic matter over millions of years and are the primary source of energy for modern society. Minerals and Metals: Minerals and metals encompass a wide range of naturally occurring substances, including iron, copper, gold, and uranium, which are essential for industrial processes, construction, and manufacturing. Fossil Water: Fossil water, also known as groundwater, is stored underground in aquifers and is a vital resource for agriculture, industry, and domestic use in many regions. Water Resources: Water is one of the most critical natural resources, essential for all forms of life and various human activities. It includes freshwater sources such as rivers, lakes, and groundwater, as well as saline water bod

Biochemistry is a branch of science that explores the chemical processes and substances that occur within living organisms. It encompasses the study of the structure, function, and interactions of biomolecules such as proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids, as well as the chemical reactions that underlie biological processes. Biochemists seek to understand the molecular mechanisms that govern life, from the synthesis of biomolecules to the regulation of cellular activities and the transmission of genetic information. In this comprehensive exploration, we will delve into the fundamental principles, key concepts, and recent advancements in biochemistry. Historical Overview The roots of biochemistry can be traced back to ancient times when early civilizations observed and documented the effects of various natural substances on living organisms. However, the formal study of biochemistry as a distinct scientific discipline began to emerge in the late 18th and early 19th centuries with significant contributions from chemists and biologists such as Friedrich Wöhler, Justus von Liebig, and Louis Pasteur. One of the most notable milestones in the history of biochemistry was the discovery of the cell as the fundamental unit of life by Robert Hooke in the 17th century and subsequent elucidation of cellular structures and functions by scientists like Matthias Schleiden, Theodor Schwann, and Rudolf Virchow. These foundational discoveries laid the groundwork for the modern understanding of biological processes at the molecular level. The advent of spectroscopic techniques in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, including UV-visible spectroscopy, infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, revolutionized the field of biochemistry by enabling researchers to analyze the structures of biomolecules and study their interactions with unprecedented detail. Additionally, the development of X-ray crystallography by pioneers such as William Henry Bragg and William Lawrence Bragg allowed scientists to determine the three-dimensional structures of proteins and nucleic acids, further advancing our understanding of their functions. Fundamental Principles of Biochemistry At its core, biochemistry is governed by several fundamental principles that define the behavior of biomolecules and their interactions within biological systems. These principles include: Structure-Function Relationship: The structure of a biomolecule dictates its function. For example, the precise arrangement of amino acids in a protein determines its catalytic activity, substrate specificity, and binding affinity for ligands. Chemical Equilibrium: Many biochemical reactions reach a state of equilibrium, where the rates of the forward and reverse reactions are equal. The equilibrium constant (K_eq) quantifies the relative concentrations of reactants and products at equilibrium and is influenced by factors such as temperature and pressure. Enzyme Catalysi

Tech-Driven Education Reform: A Model for Simultaneously Improving Student Re...

ExamSoft

A major overhaul of our higher education system is desperately needed to increase interest and competence in STEM disciplines. Currently only 40% of entering college students that declare STEM majors complete degrees in STEM disciplines. The efflux of students from STEM majors has been attributed in part to the teaching style that has been used in most lower-level science courses, which is a traditional slideshow and lecture format. This style of teaching has persisted even in the presence of convincing discipline-based education research data that other strategies can increase student attainment of learning outcomes. Engaged, learner-focused activities transparently linked to student learning outcomes have been especially effective for improving student learning in large enrollment classes; however, implementation can be difficult because of the significant time needed to conduct such activities while still covering all the required material and because of the difficulty in demonstrating student attainment of learning outcomes.

ijtsrd

The data of curriculum quality evaluation based on students evaluation of teaching contains learners perception of curriculum quality is helpful to provide reference for the improvement of curriculum quality. The evaluation system of curriculum quality should be built around ten evaluation dimensions, such as teaching objectives, subject frontier, case teaching, teacher literacy, classroom discussion, teaching methods, teaching courseware, information technology, teachers Q and A, curriculum ideological and political. Taking the students of school of physics and electronic information of Nanchang Normal University as the research object, and the sample size of curriculum quality evaluation is 5443, the Pearson correlation analysis is carried out on ten evaluation dimensions, and the correlation coefficient is 0.770, which indicates strong positive correlation. A regression model with ten evaluation dimensions as independent variables and curriculum satisfaction as dependent variables is established. The resolution of the model is 77.4 , which can predict curriculum satisfaction, and which has theoretical support for teachers to pay attention to the curriculum quality and improve the curriculum quality. It emphasizes that teaching department should pay attention to the effect of evaluation results on the continuous improvement of curriculum quality. It is suggested that a substantial and effective mechanism for continuous improvement should be established.

The final product represents an authentic demonstration of competency, because this project is designed to guide you through the process of applying the key components of the econometrics as introduced in this course. Natural resource economists are often involved in situations relating to intentional or unintentional impacts on the environment that stem from problems with supply, demand, and the allocation of natural resources. It is the responsibility of an economist to better understand and educate others on the issues present, as well as to propose ways to solve the problems with environmentally friendly, sustainable methods. For the final project, you will need to research and analyze an environmental issue that is relevant today. Your instructor must approve your topic selection in Milestone One. Examples of possible topics include recycling, fracking, water markets, and climate changes. The project is divided into two milestones, which will be submitted at various points throughout the course to scaffold learning and ensure quality final submissions. These milestones will be submitted in Modules Three and Six. The final project will be submitted in Module Nine. Outcomes This assignment will assess your mastery with respect to the following course outcomes:  Assess use and allocation of resources for their role in environmental and resource management issues  Compare the incentives and techniques used in the management of public goods and services with those used in the management of private goods  Evaluate the cost effectiveness of the use of naturally replenishable and non-depletable resources  Compare and contrast revealed preference and stated preference economic techniques for their use in measuring the value of non-market goods  Propose economic methods for addressing environmental problems based on the efficient use of resources Prompt The final project requires you to research and analyze a relevant economic environmental issue. Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed: I. Problem. Give a general background for an environmental issue. A. What is the issue, and how has it impacted the environment?

FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION 2 Michael: Scarcity theory- States that there are limited frequency allocations for radio and television stations on the electromagnetic spectrum. In the 1920s, when the radio industry requested the government to intervene and provide regulatory oversight to minimize the confusion of frequency crowding, it was indeed an unprecedented move by a market-driven, commercial industry. What started as an unbiased mediator for broadcasters in the 1920s has blossomed into a juggernaut with an established regulatory agency, known as the FCC, which wields an enormous amount of regulatory influence and oversight (Hendricks, J 2009). Has the Government finally overstayed their welcome? Telecommunications Act of 1996 is the first major overhaul of telecommunications law in almost 62 years. The goal of this new law is to let anyone enter any communications business -- to let any communications business compete in any market against any other. The Telecommunications Act of 1996 has the potential to change the way we work, live and learn (FCC) Hendricks, J. A. 2009.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education

Peter 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.

Operation Blue Star - Saka Neela Tara

Balvir Singh

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.
