The document summarizes a study that examined the links between subjective wellbeing derived from forests, and stated preferences for forest biodiversity attributes. An online survey of over 7000 participants from 2021 explored how wellbeing, seasonality, socioeconomic factors, and preferences for forest attributes are related. The study found that greater wellbeing derived from existing forests increased support for new forest policies, though the effect on monetary measures like willingness-to-pay was weaker and varied by season and attribute.

This document summarizes a study that explored the motivations of volunteers involved in nature conservation projects in Lincolnshire, UK. The study found that volunteers' primary motivation was interest in environmental protection. It also found that local conservation activities addressed themes of sustainable development better than local policies. The study concludes that involving volunteers in local policymaking could help inform policies with local knowledge, complementing expert knowledge and leading to more effective nature conservation policies that translate to local action.
Factors influencing citizens co-production of environmental services
This presentation showcases the results obtained in the paper titled ‘Factors influencing citizens co-production of environmental services’, which explores the role that local government-level factors play in shaping pro-environmental behavior in citizen involvement in the production of public services. To do so, this study analyzes the enablers and barriers of public services’ coproduction, both at the individual and institutional levels. To understand the salience of individual and organizational influences on citizens’ coproduction, the authors analyze the pro-environmental behaviours of a sample of citizens in Wales. Environmental sustainability is seen as perhaps the paradigmatic societal challenge requiring citizens’ coproductive efforts.
This research constitutes one of the results of the research project ‘CITADEL: Empowering Citizens to Transform European Public Administrations’, funded by the European Commission within the program H2020 Horizon, under GA 726755.
Public Awareness in Management of Pro-Environmental and Sustainable Tourism Area
Attitudes and behaviours of caring for the environment are the willingness arising from internal
encouragement to express actions to care about the environment, to improve or maintain the quality of the
environment. The purpose of this research is to see the dominant factor that influences the attitudes and behaviours of
caring for the environment in the community who live in the tourist area. Research is in the Bili-Bili Dam Tourism Area,
South Sulawesi Province. The number of samples in this study was 100 respondents. The survey method in this study
conducted by in-depth interviews and through questionnaires to respondents. The sampling technique used is to use
purposive sampling. Processing questionnaires obtained from respondents then proceed with data analysis with
confirmatory analysis or often referred to as Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) with IBM AMOS Program. The results
showed that attitudes and behaviours in environmental care would increase if there is direct involvement of the
community in tourism management in the region. The existence of a sense of belonging will lead to attitudes and
behaviours to guard the tourist area. Factors that are encouraging attitudes and behaviours to care for the
environment by the surrounding community will have a direct impact on the sustainability of the region and the
environment.
11.the socio economic effects of community forest management]
This document summarizes a study on the socioeconomic effects of community forest management in Dendi District, Ethiopia. The study found that participatory forest management enhanced livelihoods, conservation efforts, and social assets of local communities. Households participating in forest management had higher incomes and expenditures than non-participating households. Participating households also had more diverse livelihood strategies relying on natural resources like forests, compared to non-participating households who engaged more in wage labor and small businesses. The management approach helped increase forest cover while supporting local livelihoods, indicating it can achieve sustainable forest use.

The document discusses approaches to environmental services research in the CGIAR. It begins by noting the importance of environmental services for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals related to ending poverty and hunger. It then examines where environmental services fit within the CGIAR's Strategic Results Framework. The document presents a conceptual framework for analyzing the interactions between people, their land use decisions, and resulting environmental consequences. It discusses various options for addressing negative environmental externalities, including payments for environmental services. Finally, it argues that creating shared identities and moral standards can help internalize externalities of land use decisions.Article Review of “Factors influencing private and public environmental prote...
This article reviews a study that examined factors influencing private and public environmental behaviors among residents in Shaanxi, China. The study used a survey of 347 residents to analyze how demographic variables and environmental attitudes correlated with individual and public environmental behaviors. The results showed that environmental knowledge and attitudes positively correlated with individual behaviors. Gender also impacted individual behaviors, with women being more likely to recycle. However, demographic variables did not significantly impact public behaviors. The review suggests education campaigns should emphasize private economic benefits and target messages based on demographics like gender.

The provision of forest biodiversity remains a major challenge in the management of forest resources.
Biodiversity is mostly considered a public good and the fact that societal benefits from biodiversity are private
information, hinders its supply at adequate levels. Here we investigate how the government, as a forest owner,
may increase the biodiversity supply in publicly-owned forests. We employ a mechanism design approach to find
the biodiversity provision choices, which take into account agents’ strategic behavior and values towards bio-
diversity. We applied our framework to a forest landscape in Southwestern Germany, using forest birds as
biodiversity indicators and evaluating the impacts of climate change on forest dynamics and on the costs of
biodiversity provision. Our results show that climate change has important implications to the opportunity cost
of biodiversity and the provision levels (ranging from 10 to 12.5% increase of the bird indicator abundance). In
general, biodiversity valuations needed to surpass the opportunity cost by more than 18% to cope with the
private information held by the agents. Moreover, higher costs under more intense climate change (e.g.
Representative Concentration Pathway 8.5) reduced the attainable bird abundance increase from 12.5 to 10%.
We conclude that mechanism design may provide key information for planning conservation policies and
identify conditions for a successful implementation of biodiversity-oriented forest management.
1. Introduction
The provision of biodiversity remains a major challenge in the
management of forest resources. Biodiversity has been continuously
declining worldwide during the past decades, despite its recognized
importance to human well-being, ecosystem functioning and ecosystem
resistance and resilience under climate change (Díaz et al., 2006; Isbell
et al., 2015; Tilman et al., 2014). A main constraint to the im-
plementation of biodiversity conservation strategies is the fact that
biodiversity is mostly considered a public good, and in the absence of
markets or policy mechanisms to promote its provision, there are in-
centives for free riding and undersupply. One option to tackle this issue,
is to enhance biodiversity goals in public forests. The government, as a

Factors affecting Agricultural sustainable activities among Wheat Producers
The sustainability of agricultural activities has been emphasized in many studies. The main objective of this study is to determine the major factors affecting the adoption of sustainable activities among wheat producers in Marvdasht county in Iran. The Survey research was used and the sample consists of 178 farmers that selected with simple random sampling technique from 10 villages. Findings showed a positive correlation between educational level, knowledge on sustainability, attending on educational classes, participation in extension activities, social norms and conducting sustainable agricultural activities. The regression findings showed that age, educational level, knowledge on sustainability, agricultural income, total land of family, attending on educational classes, participation in extension activities, social norms, controllability of production factors were major variables to explain variability in adoption of sustainable activities among wheat producers. The study has provided recommendations to improve of adoption rate in sustainable agricultural activities.

Long term socio ecological research sites for CRP6 – designing the methodologyForest Trees Sentinel Landscapes
This document outlines the methodology for comparing landscapes in the CRP6 research project. It will use a Most Different Systems Design (MDSD) to compare 3-8 landscapes that show high variation. Two key research questions are identified: 1) Does variation in tree cover/quality affect outcomes like poverty and food security? 2) What explains spatial and temporal variation in tree cover? Integrated conceptual frameworks are discussed to combine biophysical and social data, including the DPSIR, press/pulse, and social metabolism approaches. Common factors across landscapes will be examined to understand relationships between rural livelihoods and environmental conditions related to tree cover change.An interdisciplinary approach to evaluating environmental policy: the case of...
An interdisciplinary approach is needed to evaluate the environmental outcomes of biodiversity offsetting policies. While offsetting policies exist in many countries, there is little evidence that no net loss of biodiversity is being achieved. The document outlines a research plan to address this, using mixed methods from multiple disciplines including ecology, economics, political science and program evaluation. Quantitative impact evaluations and qualitative comparative case studies are proposed to better understand policy outcomes and barriers to improvement. Long-term monitoring is also needed but has been lacking. The goal is to evaluate offsetting policies and provide lessons to strengthen their environmental effectiveness over time.

Public Perceptions of Bioenergy
The bioenergy industry involves a conversion of a bio-based product such as wood or switchgrass to a biofuel product such as ethanol or chips or pellets. It includes coordination of a complex web of actors and sectors. Perceptions of bioenergy will influence how responsive people are to purchasing and consuming bioenergy products; opposition can directly disrupt bioenergy markets while support can strengthen bioenergy markets. Therefore, understanding influences on public perceptions is vital for continued biofuel development. Policymakers at all levels need to understand the benefits
and costs of bioenergy and associated community impacts.
Public investments in bioenergy facilities and direct citizen and
stakeholder participation in public policies have a powerful role
in shaping public opinions on bioenergy. This is especially important in the biofuels arena.

This document discusses a study that examined how demographic factors like age, gender, and ethnicity affect a person's willingness to pay more for environmentally friendly products. The study found that willingness to pay differs across these groups. People who rated concern for waste as highly important were more willing to spend extra on eco-friendly options. The findings suggest developing tailored education strategies could encourage more consumers to purchase sustainable products, thereby creating a healthier environment for current and future generations.

This presentation by Henry Neufeldt was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014.
The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.
Uganda Wildlife Authority research overview
This document outlines the objectives and methodology of a research project studying wildlife crime in Uganda. The project aims to 1) understand the drivers and impacts of wildlife crime locally, 2) examine the socioeconomic profiles of those involved in wildlife crime, and 3) identify effective interventions for reducing wildlife crime and alleviating poverty according to local communities and managers. The research includes a literature review, household surveys of over 2,000 people living near conservation areas, choice experiments and scenario interviews to evaluate potential interventions, and key informant interviews with current and former hunters.
Ecologically based economic development strategy on of coastal
The document discusses an ecologically-based economic development strategy for the coastal community of Pangpang Bay in Banyuwangi, Indonesia that focuses on sustainably utilizing the economic potential of mangroves. It conducted a SWOT analysis through community discussions and interviews. The results showed mangroves in the area have potential for processing into products like soap and food ingredients. However, limited knowledge of uses, seasonal fruits, and lack of coordination pose weaknesses. Opportunities include tourism and awareness raising, while threats include land conversion and unclear management. The strategy recommends utilizing technology to process mangrove parts into finished goods, with proper legal access and promotion involving all stakeholders, to accelerate sustainable regional growth.

The study assessed 150 subjects' knowledge using a 25-question true/false test, and attitudes using a 20-statement Likert scale. Key findings included higher education and knowledge scores in urban versus rural areas. Most respondents' primary information source was print materials in urban areas and experience from others in rural areas. The study aims to develop an informational booklet to enhance knowledge and promote conservation.
Organic Agriculture: Consumers Attitudes and Behavioral Change in the context...
Unintentional ingestion of pesticides is common in societies. Yet the consequences are multiplying in a disastrous way. Organic agriculture [OA] roles at preserving the environment and the health of the consumer. The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes and purchase intentions of the consumer through the theory of Ajzen's planned behaviour. A total of 318 consumers were interviewed in the localities of Loum, Njombé-Penja and Mbanga using a mix questionnaire. The Likert model, 5-point scale was used to measure attitudes. The results obtained reveal that positive attitudes lead to purchasing intentions among consumers in relation to organic products (Mean = 40.5283; Standard Deviation. = 5.89638) to the detriment of conventional products (Mean = 22.7484; Standard Deviation. = 5.57707). This significant difference is in favour of organic products (F (1 318) = 1.812; p ˂ 0.05). In fact, intention is the intermediate variable between attitudes and observed behaviours.
FOREST CONSERVATION BEHAVIOR IN RURAL SETTLEMENTS: VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE ...
The present study aims at finding variables that influenced subjective norms in
determining intention toward forest cutting. The theory of planned behavior was used as the model of the research. A questionnaire was developed based on the model. The questionnaire comprised of two questions assessing intention toward forest cutting, five questions assessing attitudes, three questions assessing subjective norms, three questions assessing perceived behavioral control, and eight questions assessing each of the belief and its assessment. 240 questionnaires were randomly distributed to the people at four villages in the rural settlements of Enrekang, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Multipleregression analyses revealed that intention toward forest cutting was predicted by subjective norms. Attitudes and PBC did not significantly determine intention toward forest cutting. To find out variables that influence subjective norms in predicting intention towardforest cutting, stepwise-backward regression analyses were performed. All components of beliefs and their assessment were simultaneously entered as independent variables. Results revealed that subjective norms toward forest cutting
were determined by cost evaluation, benefit evaluation, beliefs about others expectation,
perceived barriers, and perceived resources, β= .17, p< .01, β= .34, p< .001, β= .20, p< .01, β= .24, p< .001, β= .18, p< .01, respectively. Those components explained 46% variance in subjective norms. The implications of the results were discussed and some
recommendations were drawn at the end of the study.

1. The document discusses challenges for sustainable farming including climate change, biodiversity decline, water issues, and increasing global food demand.
2. It presents a conceptual framework with key factors for policy success, including farmers' willingness and capacity to change, and influences on willingness at the personal, community, and societal levels.
3. Recent research findings suggest a variety of approaches are needed to target different farmers, and policies should aim to change social norms and values as well as economic factors by working at all levels and fostering partnerships.DPSIR
This document analyzes social change in the agroecosystem of Shivasatakshi Municipality, Jhapa, Nepal using the DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses) framework. Key driving forces identified include population growth, urbanization, and excessive fertilizer use. These forces put pressure on land and water resources through habitat destruction and pollution. As a result, the state of the environment has deteriorated, crop yields have declined, and temperatures have risen. Impacts include soil degradation, ecological imbalances, and disturbed plant-insect relationships. Proposed responses include managing urbanization, reducing chemical usage, raising public awareness, and effective government planning and policies.
School talk
The document discusses microplastics and how much plastic humans ingest. It notes that a 2019 report claimed humans ingest around 5 grams of microplastics per week, which comes from approximately 179 particles. Microplastics come from both primary sources, where they are intentionally added to products, and secondary sources where larger plastics break down. While the environmental effects of microplastics on wildlife are concerning, the health effects on humans are still unclear though long-term ingestion could be problematic. The author's PhD research examines how much consumers are willing to pay for microplastic-free products.

This document discusses a study that examined how demographic factors like age, gender, and ethnicity affect a person's willingness to pay more for environmentally friendly products. The study found that willingness to pay differs across these groups. People who rated concern for waste as highly important were more willing to spend extra on eco-friendly options. The findings suggest developing tailored education strategies could encourage more consumers to purchase sustainable products, thereby creating a healthier environment for current and future generations.

Drivers of Change in the Context of Forests and Food Security and Macro-Level...
This presentation by Henry Neufeldt was given at a session titled "New findings on the dynamics between forests, land use and food security" at the Global Landscapes Forum in Lima, Peru, on December 7, 2014.
The session discussed direct and indirect roles of forests and trees in food systems, the importance of food production systems across the forest-agriculture continuum for food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, and the ensuing implications for land use. The social, economic and environmental synergies and trade-offs between forests and food security and related management interventions, as well as relevant response options will also be discussed. The debate also touched upon questions of sustainable land use under a post-Kyoto climate agreement.
Uganda Wildlife Authority research overview
This document outlines the objectives and methodology of a research project studying wildlife crime in Uganda. The project aims to 1) understand the drivers and impacts of wildlife crime locally, 2) examine the socioeconomic profiles of those involved in wildlife crime, and 3) identify effective interventions for reducing wildlife crime and alleviating poverty according to local communities and managers. The research includes a literature review, household surveys of over 2,000 people living near conservation areas, choice experiments and scenario interviews to evaluate potential interventions, and key informant interviews with current and former hunters.
Ecologically based economic development strategy on of coastal
The document discusses an ecologically-based economic development strategy for the coastal community of Pangpang Bay in Banyuwangi, Indonesia that focuses on sustainably utilizing the economic potential of mangroves. It conducted a SWOT analysis through community discussions and interviews. The results showed mangroves in the area have potential for processing into products like soap and food ingredients. However, limited knowledge of uses, seasonal fruits, and lack of coordination pose weaknesses. Opportunities include tourism and awareness raising, while threats include land conversion and unclear management. The strategy recommends utilizing technology to process mangrove parts into finished goods, with proper legal access and promotion involving all stakeholders, to accelerate sustainable regional growth.

Organic Agriculture: Consumers Attitudes and Behavioral Change in the context...
Unintentional ingestion of pesticides is common in societies. Yet the consequences are multiplying in a disastrous way. Organic agriculture [OA] roles at preserving the environment and the health of the consumer. The objective of this study is to analyze the attitudes and purchase intentions of the consumer through the theory of Ajzen's planned behaviour. A total of 318 consumers were interviewed in the localities of Loum, Njombé-Penja and Mbanga using a mix questionnaire. The Likert model, 5-point scale was used to measure attitudes. The results obtained reveal that positive attitudes lead to purchasing intentions among consumers in relation to organic products (Mean = 40.5283; Standard Deviation. = 5.89638) to the detriment of conventional products (Mean = 22.7484; Standard Deviation. = 5.57707). This significant difference is in favour of organic products (F (1 318) = 1.812; p ˂ 0.05). In fact, intention is the intermediate variable between attitudes and observed behaviours.
FOREST CONSERVATION BEHAVIOR IN RURAL SETTLEMENTS: VARIABLES THAT INFLUENCE ...
The present study aims at finding variables that influenced subjective norms in
determining intention toward forest cutting. The theory of planned behavior was used as the model of the research. A questionnaire was developed based on the model. The questionnaire comprised of two questions assessing intention toward forest cutting, five questions assessing attitudes, three questions assessing subjective norms, three questions assessing perceived behavioral control, and eight questions assessing each of the belief and its assessment. 240 questionnaires were randomly distributed to the people at four villages in the rural settlements of Enrekang, South Sulawesi, Indonesia. Multipleregression analyses revealed that intention toward forest cutting was predicted by subjective norms. Attitudes and PBC did not significantly determine intention toward forest cutting. To find out variables that influence subjective norms in predicting intention towardforest cutting, stepwise-backward regression analyses were performed. All components of beliefs and their assessment were simultaneously entered as independent variables. Results revealed that subjective norms toward forest cutting
were determined by cost evaluation, benefit evaluation, beliefs about others expectation,
perceived barriers, and perceived resources, β= .17, p< .01, β= .34, p< .001, β= .20, p< .01, β= .24, p< .001, β= .18, p< .01, respectively. Those components explained 46% variance in subjective norms. The implications of the results were discussed and some
recommendations were drawn at the end of the study.

This document analyzes social change in the agroecosystem of Shivasatakshi Municipality, Jhapa, Nepal using the DPSIR (Driving forces, Pressures, States, Impacts, Responses) framework. Key driving forces identified include population growth, urbanization, and excessive fertilizer use. These forces put pressure on land and water resources through habitat destruction and pollution. As a result, the state of the environment has deteriorated, crop yields have declined, and temperatures have risen. Impacts include soil degradation, ecological imbalances, and disturbed plant-insect relationships. Proposed responses include managing urbanization, reducing chemical usage, raising public awareness, and effective government planning and policies.

The document discusses microplastics and how much plastic humans ingest. It notes that a 2019 report claimed humans ingest around 5 grams of microplastics per week, which comes from approximately 179 particles. Microplastics come from both primary sources, where they are intentionally added to products, and secondary sources where larger plastics break down. While the environmental effects of microplastics on wildlife are concerning, the health effects on humans are still unclear though long-term ingestion could be problematic. The author's PhD research examines how much consumers are willing to pay for microplastic-free products.

MRes Dissertation presentation
This document summarizes a dissertation analyzing the financial and economic viability of recovering marine plastic pollution through a scheme proposed by The Ocean Cleanup organization. It finds that while recovering plastic debris is not financially viable due to high costs, it is economically viable when considering the substantial damages plastic pollution causes to marine ecosystems and industries. Though crowdfunding alone is insufficient, funding from governments or polluting industries could make plastic recovery schemes economically worthwhile by reducing pollution's multi-billion dollar annual costs to societies and economies that rely on ocean resources.
Plastic bags and prospect theory; Lessons in policy design
This document summarizes research comparing the effectiveness of a tax versus a discount policy for reducing disposable coffee cup usage. It was found that:
1) A tax was more effective at changing behavior at a lower cost point than an equivalent discount. Survey responses showed a higher willingness to pay for a tax than discount.
2) Evidence for behavioral spillovers from previous plastic bag taxes influencing responses was weak.
3) Hypothetical bias in survey responses was reduced but not eliminated by measures to increase certainty in responses. Taxes were still valued lower than discounts after accounting for certainty.

Candidate young stellar objects in the S-cluster: Kinematic analysis of a sub...
Context. The observation of several L-band emission sources in the S cluster has led to a rich discussion of their nature. However, a definitive answer to the classification of the dusty objects requires an explanation for the detection of compact Doppler-shifted Brγ emission. The ionized hydrogen in combination with the observation of mid-infrared L-band continuum emission suggests that most of these sources are embedded in a dusty envelope. These embedded sources are part of the S-cluster, and their relationship to the S-stars is still under debate. To date, the question of the origin of these two populations has been vague, although all explanations favor migration processes for the individual cluster members. Aims. This work revisits the S-cluster and its dusty members orbiting the supermassive black hole SgrA* on bound Keplerian orbits from a kinematic perspective. The aim is to explore the Keplerian parameters for patterns that might imply a nonrandom distribution of the sample. Additionally, various analytical aspects are considered to address the nature of the dusty sources. Methods. Based on the photometric analysis, we estimated the individual H−K and K−L colors for the source sample and compared the results to known cluster members. The classification revealed a noticeable contrast between the S-stars and the dusty sources. To fit the flux-density distribution, we utilized the radiative transfer code HYPERION and implemented a young stellar object Class I model. We obtained the position angle from the Keplerian fit results; additionally, we analyzed the distribution of the inclinations and the longitudes of the ascending node. Results. The colors of the dusty sources suggest a stellar nature consistent with the spectral energy distribution in the near and midinfrared domains. Furthermore, the evaporation timescales of dusty and gaseous clumps in the vicinity of SgrA* are much shorter ( 2yr) than the epochs covered by the observations (≈15yr). In addition to the strong evidence for the stellar classification of the D-sources, we also find a clear disk-like pattern following the arrangements of S-stars proposed in the literature. Furthermore, we find a global intrinsic inclination for all dusty sources of 60 ± 20◦, implying a common formation process. Conclusions. The pattern of the dusty sources manifested in the distribution of the position angles, inclinations, and longitudes of the ascending node strongly suggests two different scenarios: the main-sequence stars and the dusty stellar S-cluster sources share a common formation history or migrated with a similar formation channel in the vicinity of SgrA*. Alternatively, the gravitational influence of SgrA* in combination with a massive perturber, such as a putative intermediate mass black hole in the IRS 13 cluster, forces the dusty objects and S-stars to follow a particular orbital arrangement. Key words. stars: black holes– stars: formation– Galaxy: center– galaxies: star formation

Applied Science: Thermodynamics, Laws & Methodology.pdf
When I was asked to give a companion lecture in support of ‘The Philosophy of Science’ (https://shorturl.at/4pUXz) I decided not to walk through the detail of the many methodologies in order of use. Instead, I chose to employ a long standing, and ongoing, scientific development as an exemplar. And so, I chose the ever evolving story of Thermodynamics as a scientific investigation at its best.
Conducted over a period of >200 years, Thermodynamics R&D, and application, benefitted from the highest levels of professionalism, collaboration, and technical thoroughness. New layers of application, methodology, and practice were made possible by the progressive advance of technology. In turn, this has seen measurement and modelling accuracy continually improved at a micro and macro level.
Perhaps most importantly, Thermodynamics rapidly became a primary tool in the advance of applied science/engineering/technology, spanning micro-tech, to aerospace and cosmology. I can think of no better a story to illustrate the breadth of scientific methodologies and applications at their best.

Wereport the study of a huge optical intraday flare on 2021 November 12 at 2 a.m. UT in the blazar OJ287. In the binary black hole model, it is associated with an impact of the secondary black hole on the accretion disk of the primary. Our multifrequency observing campaign was set up to search for such a signature of the impact based on a prediction made 8 yr earlier. The first I-band results of the flare have already been reported by Kishore et al. (2024). Here we combine these data with our monitoring in the R-band. There is a big change in the R–I spectral index by 1.0 ±0.1 between the normal background and the flare, suggesting a new component of radiation. The polarization variation during the rise of the flare suggests the same. The limits on the source size place it most reasonably in the jet of the secondary BH. We then ask why we have not seen this phenomenon before. We show that OJ287 was never before observed with sufficient sensitivity on the night when the flare should have happened according to the binary model. We also study the probability that this flare is just an oversized example of intraday variability using the Krakow data set of intense monitoring between 2015 and 2023. We find that the occurrence of a flare of this size and rapidity is unlikely. In machine-readable Tables 1 and 2, we give the full orbit-linked historical light curve of OJ287 as well as the dense monitoring sample of Krakow.

- 1. ➢ Integrated responses from a choice experiment and a wellbeing scale: Bio-Well ➢ Online survey participants (N: 7047) from each of the four seasons of 2021. ➢ Links between attributes, wellbeing, seasonality, spatial variation, socioeconomic factors, explored with a hybrid model (structural equation modelling). ➢ Participants derived wellbeing from the variety of colours, smells, sounds, and deadwood for decomposition in forests. Effect of subjective wellbeing on preferences for attributes of forest biodiversity ➢ Public support for forest policy is critical. ➢ But what factors influence preferences for afforestation/reforestation? ➢ We investigate whether subjective wellbeing (a non-monetary measure) derived from forests was related to survey choices and willingness- to-pay (monetary measure) for forests. Background We investigate the links between subjective wellbeing derived from, and stated preferences for, attributes of forest biodiversity. Deriving greater wellbeing from existing forests influenced choices and willingness-to-pay, but effects are seasonal and attribute-dependent. ➢ Support for forest policy is influenced by the wellbeing that participants derive from current forests. ➢ Non-monetary measures influence survey behaviour, but effect on monetary measures varies. Findings Methods Implications Summary RELATE Peter King, Martin Dallimer, Thomas Lundhede, Gail E. Austen, Katherine N. Irvine, Jessica C. Fisher, Robert D. Fish, Zoe G. Davies.
