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.

Teaching approach: Communicative approach – CLIL lesson
Materials and resources: Pictures, computers, internet, copies
Seating arrangement: We will work at the tables. In each table there are three or
four students, and the tables are situated in front of the board.
Potential problems students may have with the language: If students have any
difficulty to understand the new vocabulary, the T will use visual aids and they also
have the possibility to use on-line dictionaries. If we have any problem with the
internet connection the T will encourage ss to talk about the meaning of the words
and to focus on the context of each of them to infer the meaning.
Assessment: The ss’ ability to use the new vocabulary and the grammar structures
will be assessed through several activities.
.
Procedure:
Routine (5 minutes)
First, the T will say: “Hello! How are you today? I need a helper to write the date on
the board. Please, Nicole, Can you help me?” and she will encourage ss to spell the date
for the student to write it. Then, she will say: “We need to check the homework, please
3. open your books and let’s check it all together” While the T will ask ss to name the words
in the correct part of the chart she will ask ss if the statements are correct or not.
Warm – up (10 minutes)
The T will say: “Let’s remember what we did yesterday. Can you tell me
please?”and she will encourage ss to answer.
Then, the T will write on the board: Biomes in the world. And she will show ss the
following picture:
She will tell them: “Look at this picture; we can notice that the world is divided into
large natural areas called biomes such as desert and rainforest. But, what is a biome? And
why are there so many of them?” The T will ask ss to work in pairs in order to look for
“biome” definitions on the web (the ss already have certain reliable sources that they can
work with. They can work only with the web pages that the school allows them). She will
say: “Work with your peer and look for the definition of a biome and let’s share it with the
class”. While the ss read the different definitions the T will write the most important
characteristics of what a biome is on the board. Then, with all the information, the T will
say: “So, we can say that a biome is a biotic community characterized by plant and animal
species and maintained under the climatic conditions of the region.” (This is an attempt of
a definition, because it will be based on the ss’ research).
Presentation (5 minutes)
4. The T will ask ss to look at the map and to think about the differences since it is
probably that ss know about biomes because the information is based on a specific
content which is familiar for them. So, the T will say: “Look at the map! How many biomes
can you notice? What is the most important characteristic of each biome?” she will guide
ss with some questions in order for them to notice that the most important characteristic is
the climate, and that is what defines each biome.
Development
Activity 1 (10 minutes) - Pre- watching act:
The T will say: “Now, we will focus on certain biomes. They are: Deciduous forest,
Tropical rainforest, Savanna, Freshwater (lake) and Desert but first I want to know how
much you know about these certain biomes. She will write the names of each biome on the
board and she will hand out the following worksheet. She will say: “each of those
sentences is describing a characteristic of one of the biomes, so you have to write the
name of the biome next to the sentences. Remember to look at the map!” She will also che
comprehension with some questions.
Read the following sentences and write the name of the biome next to
them:
1. The temperate climate is characterized by broad-leaved deciduous
trees.__________
2. The forests in the tropics that receive over 100 inches of rainfall per year. Most
types of forests can support large populations of plants and animals; however, this
biome supports the greatest number of species of any other type on the
planet.______________________
3. The species are often found only in one particular lake or river system or even in a
single stream. These species are said to be endemic, or only found in one particular
area.________________
4. At mid-latitudes, the winters are often too cold for the leaves of these trees to
survive, so when the temperatures start to drop, the leaves of these trees die and fall
off._________________
5. It is sometimes found in temperate climates, usually in areas that are transitional
zones between grassland and forests. ________________
6. These forests are found at mid-latitudes in areas that get significant rainfall in the
warm summer months, which can support fast-growing species like birch, hickory,
maple, and sycamore trees.______________
7. The climate changes in a seasonal pattern from cool and dry to hot and dry and then
to warm and wet before starting the cycle again the following year. ______________
5. 8. Trees that lose their leaves all at once in a seasonal cycle are called deciduous
trees. __________________
9. Lake Malawi is the eighth largest lake in the world and is home to an estimated
1,000 different species of fish. There are so many different species in the lake that
most of them haven't been fully described and identified.____________
10. As the leaves begin to die, the chlorophyll, which gives most leaves their
green colour, is broken down and disappears. This absence of chlorophyll allows us
to see other pigments in the leaves, which can make the leaves appear red, yellow,
orange, or brown. ____________________
11. As long as the forest remains intact, nutrients will quickly cycle through the
ecosystem. This rapid cycling produces a steady input of nutrients into the soil that
plants can use, and that is how the poor soil can support such a massive amount of
biomass._________________
12. It is found around the world for supporting so many large animals such as
giraffes, elephants, rhinos, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, leopards, and
lions.______________
She will ask ss what they have to do to complete the activity. She will elicit the
instructions from the students to check their comprehension and then she will tell them that
they only have 10 minutes to do it. She will also monitor ss’ work.
Activity 2 (10 minutes) – watching the video: http://education-portal.com/academy/lesson/biomes-
desert-tropical-rainforest-savanna-coral-reefs-more.html#lesson
The T will say: “Excellent! Now we are going to watch a very interesting video about
biomes. It is about two children who travel in order to learn about biomes in the world.
Please focus on the information so you can check the previous activity.” The T will stop the
video after each explanation of a biome in order to check the previous activity all together.
Activity 3 (5 minutes)
The T will tell them: “We have worked with several biomes and now we will focus on
the desert! You will work in pairs in order to put a text in order. I will give you mixed up
sentences and you have to work with your peer to put them in order. You have 10 minutes
to complete the task. ” She will hand out the sentences and choose a ss to explain the
activity.
Desert biomes are characterized by very little rainfall, so any landscape that gets less than 12
inches of rain per year can be considered desert.
They occur at all latitudes, and although the popular depiction of deserts is a vast expanse of
nothing but sand for miles, deserts can have a variety of soils, plant life, and animal life.
6. For example, in the Australian Outback, drought-resistant plants with small, leathery leaves are
common, and some plants, like the desert bloodwood tree, store large quantities of water in their
roots to survive prolonged periods of drought.
Animal density is not very high in deserts, but even so, insects, arachnids, lizards, snakes,
mammals, birds, and even some amphibians can all be found in the Australian desert.
Each of these animals has its own methods for conserving water and making use of specific food
sources in what might seem like uninhabitable conditions.

Activity 4 (5 minutes)
The T will tell them: “Now that, we have described the desert biome we are going to
work with the last one for today! This biome is called Tundra” and she will show ss the
following picture and ask them to describe the landscape: rocks, grass, hills, mountains.
Then, she will tell them: “The tundra is a rocky landscape. A combination of fungi and
algae, called Lichen grows on the rock and they are the food of the animals that migrate to
this zone.”
She will say: “Now, you are going to read a text about this biome in order to find out
more about it. You have to pay attention to the underlined words. They are conjunctions,
like the ones that we learnt last class. Let’s look at the poster from the previous class to
7. revise them.” While she hands out the copies of the text she will ask ss questions about
what they have to do to complete the activity. She will encourage ss to read the text, think
about how to classify them and to write synonyms next to them (the ones that are on the
poster).(they are supposed to use the conjunctions that we started working the previous
class, which are written in a poster in the classroom). The T will say: “Complete the task in
pairs, you have 5 minutes!”
Poster:

Activity 5 (15 minutes)
Then, she will tell them: “You will work in groups of three in order to complete some
posters with the main characteristics of each biome. You can focus on the previous activities that
we have completed and you should look for more information on the web. You have 15 minutes
to do complete the posters. And she will choose some ss to explain the exercise to check
comprehension. She will also write a model on the board to model the act.:

(I think that it will be better if ss look for information in the web, since they have to decide which
information is proper, so they will have to read and decide and not only writing information. They will work
in a more free way.)
9. Climate: Main characteristic:

The T will monitor ss’ work to help them. She will also encourage them to look for
images to illustrate the posters. Then, the T will ask ss to share the posters with the class
to compare them and finally, we will stick them around the classroom.
Closure (5 minutes) – Bingo –
The T will hand out the bingo copies and she will tell them: “Now, it’s time for a
game, we will play bingo! And the winner will gain some candies. You have to listen to a
certain description that I will say and you have to guess the word, it could be a biome, a
characteristic of a biome, a season, among others and if you have that certain word in your
bingo card you have to draw a cross on it. For example:...................” and she will say one
to model the activity. The T will choose two ss to explain the activity to check
comprehension.

Transcript of the video:
Temperate Deciduous Forest
Phil and Angie took a trip around the world together. They're so excited about all of the cool things that they saw,
and they'd like to share some of their experiences with you!
The first stop on their trip was the temperate deciduous forests of the eastern United States. Temperate deciduous
forests are forests in temperate climates that are characterized by broad-leaved deciduous trees. These forests are
found at mid-latitudes in areas that get significant rainfall in the warm summer months, which can support fast-
growing species like birch, hickory, maple, and sycamore trees.
However, at mid-latitudes, the winters are often too cold for
the leaves of these trees to survive, so when the
temperatures start to drop, the leaves of these trees die and
fall off. The trees themselves then go into a dormant phase
to survive the winter, and the lack of leaves helps to prevent
the buildup of snow on the branches that could weigh them
down to the point of breaking.
Trees that lose their leaves all at once in a seasonal cycle
are called deciduous trees. Phil and Angie decided to start
their trip in the autumn because the deciduous forests of the
United States are famous for the spectacular display of color
in the fall. As the leaves begin to die, the chlorophyll, which gives most leaves their green color, is broken down and
disappears. This absence of chlorophyll allows us to see other pigments in the leaves, which can make the leaves
appear red, yellow, orange, or brown.
Tropical Rainforest
The next stop on the trip was the tropical rainforest in South America. Tropical rainforests are forests in the tropics
that receive over 100 inches of rainfall per year. Most types of forests can support large populations of plants and
animals; however, tropical rainforests support the greatest number of species of any other type of biome on the
planet. This incredible species richness is due largely to the combination of a tropical climate and high, year-round
rainfall, which provide optimal growing conditions for the largest number of plant species. In turn, the high number of
plant species can support a high number of animal species.
World map showing mid-latitudes
11. With such high productivity in the tropical rainforest, you might expect the soil to be rich with nutrients; however, it's
just the opposite. The warm, wet conditions in the tropical rainforest cause rapid decomposition of any detritus, and
because sunlight and water are plentiful, any nutrients released into the soil are rapidly used by the fast -growing
vegetation, leaving the soil amazingly poor considering the high productivity of the biome. However, as long as the
forest remains intact, nutrients will quickly cycle through the ecosystem. This rapid cycling produces a steady input
of nutrients into the soil that plants can use, and that is how the poor soil can support such a massive amount of
biomass.
Savanna
After the tropical rainforests of South America,
Phil and Angie hopped on a plane to Tanzania
to visit the Serengeti National Park. Angie
really likes giraffes, and although she has
seen giraffes in zoos, she thought it would be
really cool to see them in their natural habitat,
the African savanna.Savanna is essentially
grassland interspersed with trees. It is
sometimes found in temperate climates,
usually in areas that are transitional zones
between grassland and forests. However,
savanna is mostly found in tropical regions of the world where the climate changes in a seasonal pattern from cool
and dry to hot and dry and then to warm and wet before starting the cycle again the following year. This is the type
of savanna found in the Serengeti National Park, which is famous around the world for supporting so many large
animals such as giraffes, elephants, rhinos, zebras, wildebeest, cheetahs, leopards, and lions.
Freshwater Biomes
While Phil and Angie were in Africa, they decided to take a few days to visit Lake Malawi, which is a very large lake
located just South of Tanzania. Phil in particular wanted to visit this lake because he had an aquarium at home, and
some of his favorite aquarium fish are found only in Lake Malawi. Lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers are all
examples of freshwater aquatic biomes. Since lakes, ponds, streams, and rivers are often naturally isolated from
each other in many ways, species of freshwater fish are often found only in one particular lake or river system or
even in a single stream. These species are said to beendemic, or only found in one particular area.
Lake Malawi is a good example. It's the eighth largest lake in the world and is home to an estimated 1,000 different
species of fish. There are so many different species in the lake that most of them haven't been fully described and
identified. However, of the approximately 350 described species of rockfish or mbuna in the lake, only five of them
are found in other bodies of water. Overall, it's thought that over 90% of the fish species in Lake Malawi are endemic
and found nowhere else in the world.
Tropical rainforests have the largest number of species of any otherbiome
