Climate change curricula for adult audiences in agriculture and forestry: A review

Agricultural and forestry advisers and other technical service providers play an important role in supporting farmers and foresters to adapt to climate change. However, not all agricultural and forestry advisers are comfortable talking about climate change with land managers. While there is a demonstrated interest related to climate related professional development, few examples of curricula developed with the express purpose of serving this audience and a systematic review of these curricula has not been conducted. To address this gap, we reviewed 12 curricula which were developed and implemented between 2001 and 2017. The goal of this review is to apply the lessons learned from a range of climate change-focused curricula to new, regionally or sector-specific educational programs targeting both agricultural advisers and innovative farmers. Our findings suggest that developers of future educational programs consider the following: (a) the specific needs of their audience, including topical interests and learning needs; (b) the use of interdisciplinary teams for curricula development; (c) trade-offs associated with inclusivity and depth of course content; and (d) the advantages of project-based education approaches suited for adult learning audiences. By applying these concepts to future curricula, these curricula are likely to have the greatest level of impact

Fate of intravenously administered high-density lipoprotein labeled with radioiodinated cholesteryl oleate in normal and hypolipidemic rats

Radioiodinated cholesteryl oleate (125I-CO) was found to associate rapidly with plasma lipoproteins following intravenous administration to rats. The high-density lipoprotein (HDL) fraction was observed to contain the highest amount of radioiodinated ester. Isolation and purification of this HDL fraction (125I-CO-HDL) and subsequent administration to rats demonstrated a plasma clearance similar to that previously observed for HDL labeled by direct iodination. Moreover, the concentration of radioactivity appearing in the adrenal cortex and ovary 0.5 h after intravenous administration of 125I-CO-HDL was greater than that observed after administration of 125I-CO, and the uptake of radioactivity by these tissues was considerably greater in hypolipidemic rats. These findings are consistent with existing knowledge relating to the metabolic fate of HDL and radioiodinated cholesterol derivatives in the rat, and suggest that radioiodinated cholesteryl esters may become useful probes for labeling lipoproteins.Peer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/25293/1/0000736.pd
