Space-Shaping Through Rhythmic Interventions for Teaching and Learning: Pedagogical Perspectives by Robin A. Chang, Pinar Sefkatli

“…Through the courses we investigate how different understandings and analyses of rhythms-through-space in comparison to rhythms-in-space generate different patterns of interventions. We also share prospects for preparing and structuring future teaching and learning that integrate time-sensitivity through constructively aligned activities supporting the development of different forms of knowledge. …”

Study on the incremental carbon sink of tea plantations under spatio-temporal variation characteristics by Yaxiang Pan, Yaxiang Pan, Jingling Bao, Jingling Bao, Yuxuan Ji, Yuxuan Ji, Wen Li, Wen Li, Weiyu Lin, Shuisheng Fan, Shuisheng Fan, Shuisheng Fan, Liyu Mao, Liyu Mao

“…The results show that: (1) During the period of 2010–2022, the total carbon sink of tea plantations in Fujian Province increased by 133.12 × 105Mg, showing a continuous growth trend; in terms of spatial distribution, the intensity of tea plantation carbon sinks in the study area showed a gradual and present trend of migration and concentration from the southwest to the northeast. (2) Construct the evaluation index system of carbon sinks in tea plantations, divided into social, living, industrial and population factors and other four categories of eight indicators. (3)The single-factor driver of tea plantation carbon sinks shows that it is mainly affected by industrial scale, population density and industrial structure, with q-values exceeding 0.5. (4)The interaction of the drivers shows that the urban-rural disparity and industrial scale have the highest interaction effect, with q-values reaching 0.9698. …”
