Ecological Bases For The Rational Use Of Foothill Pastures Of Kashkadarya Basin, Uktam Eshtemirovich Khuzhanazarov, Gulchehra Saidovna Dadaeva
Ecological Bases For The Rational Use Of Foothill Pastures Of Kashkadarya Basin, Uktam Eshtemirovich Khuzhanazarov, Gulchehra Saidovna Dadaeva
Bulletin of Gulistan State University
The practical use of Kashkadarya basin pastures and significance of mapping data to monitor the fodder yields and their good results were reviewed in the article. The article involves the creation of foothills pasture maps during several years, and determination the fodder productivity of spring pastures, to conduct field surveys on essential pasture areas, the use of pastures as fodder, and conducting annual investigation of livestock feeding were brought in the article.
Tracing The Landscape: Re-Enchantment, Play, And Spirituality In Parkour, Brett D. Potter
Tracing The Landscape: Re-Enchantment, Play, And Spirituality In Parkour, Brett D. Potter
Publications and Scholarship
Parkour, along with “free-running”, is a relatively new but increasingly ubiquitous sport with possibilities for new configurations of ecology and spirituality in global urban contexts. Parkour differs significantly from traditional sports in its use of existing urban topography including walls, fences, and rooftops as an obstacle course/playground to be creatively navigated. Both parkour and “free-running”, in their haptic, intuitive exploration of the environment retrieve an enchanted notion of place with analogues in the religious language of pilgrimage. The parkour practitioner or traceur/traceuse exemplifies what Michael Atkinson terms “human reclamation”—a reclaiming of the body in space, and of the urban environment …
Traffic Noise And Sexual Selection: Studies Of Anthropogenic Impact On Bird Songs And Undergraduate Student Reasoning Of Evolutionary Mechanisms, Sarah Spier
School of Natural Resources: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Humans have transformed much of the natural landscape and are continuing to do so at an accelerated rate, compromising natural areas that serve as important habitat for many species. Roads impact much of the environment as they fragment habitat and introduce traffic noise into the acoustic environment, deferentially affecting wildlife in roadside habitat. I explored how traffic noise affects the detection of birds based on whether their vocalizations were masked by traffic noise. Masked species detection was not affected by an increase in traffic noise amplitude, while there was a negative effect of traffic noise amplitude on unmasked species detection, …

Although sustainability has become a key focus in higher education, developing a better understanding of how sustainability competencies can be cultivated in college and university courses and programs is still needed. This article argues that learners who are to become capable of affecting holistic sustainable change, transforming values and culture, healing the earth and human communities, and designing creative solutions, must have the opportunity to engage in learning processes that reflect these learning outcomes. We outline key elements of sustainability pedagogy and suggest best pedagogical practices for designing engaging and holistic sustainability learning, and highlight these practices through a sustainability …
Understanding And Evaluating Classroom Ecology, Amanda Kolpin
Understanding And Evaluating Classroom Ecology, Amanda Kolpin
All Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Minnesota Rule 8719.5000 requires that special education teachers assess how environmental factors impact students during the evaluation process. Despite evidence explaining how environmental factors impact student achievement and behaviors, there is not a formal tool available to special education teachers that allows them to assess how classroom environment might influence a student. This project provides an extensive literature review examining how classroom ecology (the combined elements of the physical environment and social environment) impact student achievement. The literature review yielded twenty-two best practice indicators that informed the development of the Classroom Ecology Quality Indicator Tool. This tool will allow special …
