Authors: Eck Christopher , Wagner Kevin , Chapagain Binod , Joshi Omkar
Published: June 2023

We conducted a nonexperimental, descriptive study to better understand Oklahoma State University students' perceptions of water issues and relevant learning preferences using a 56-item survey instrument we based on the 2008 Water Issues in Oklahoma survey. In total, 103 agriculture students participated in our survey. Clean drinking water was their top concern, but few understood potential risks to water supplies. Additionally, participants expressed only modest interest in learning more about water issues. They indicated that they preferred learning via digital media and traditional fact sheets and expressed little interest in learning via apps, in-person events, and newspaper articles. Our results have implications for delivering water education programs to younger college-educated adults.

Authors: Maslow Lindsey , Jones Lorelei , Morris Lauren , Anderson Alyssa , Moody Annie
Published: June 2023

Low-income families experience many barriers to purchasing and preparing healthful foods. To help address some of these barriers, a team created a family-based cooking class, Healthy All Together, in which participants learn strategies for how to stretch their food dollars and feed their families healthful meals. In this article, we describe the development of Healthy All Together, report program impacts, and summarize program feedback from participants and instructors. Of particular importance is the idea that engaging children in cooking through a family-based class has the potential to help families consider how to use strategies to mitigate barriers to healthful cooking.
Reducing Obesity in Rural Alabama: From Focus Groups to Community Coalitions
Authors: Brown Onikia , Morse Wayde , Carter Mitch
Published: June 2023

With an adult obesity rate of 35.6%, Alabama is the second most obese state in the United States. Alabama Extension and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) joined in the first collaboration between the CDC and land-grant institutions to prevent further incidence and reduce the prevalence of obesity. The objective of our study was to determine perceived barriers and assets related to nutrition education, food retail, and physical activity in 14 rural counties in Alabama where adult obesity rates are greater than 40%. Extension formed community coalitions in the counties to help identify community-specific needs and strategies related to obesity prevention and reduction.

Authors: Darr Molly , Hulcr Jiri , Eickwort Jeff , Smith Jason , Hubbard William , Coyle David
Published: June 2023

The Southern Forest and Tree Health Diagnostics Facebook page, managed by Extension and forestry professionals in the southeastern United States, is designed to deliver forest and tree heath information to the public via a web-based, crowdsourced diagnostic service. We conducted an online survey to quantify the page's impact by identifying audience demographics, engagement levels, and perceptions of the page's value. Results indicated that stakeholders consider the Southern Forest and Tree Health Diagnostics page to be an effective diagnostics service and a valuable educational tool. This model could be used in other natural resources program areas to increase the reach of Extension professionals.
Examining the Potential Role of Descriptive Norms in Landscape Water Conservation Programs
Authors: Warner Laura , Hobbs Wayne
Published: June 2023

The study reported here was conducted to inform potential social norms approaches to water conservation programs. Using a theoretically informed survey instrument, we examined Floridians' perceived descriptive norms of close-peer, neighborhood, state, and national groups pertaining to water conservation. Respondents perceived that people conserved less as groups became more distant and perceived that conservation among close peers was most strongly related to their own conservation practices. When we considered perceptions of the four groups together, we found that only perceptions of close peers' conservation efforts significantly predicted respondents' conservation behaviors. Our findings revealed opportunities to highlight descriptive norms as an Extension strategy, especially among clientele's close peers.
Invasive Species Terminology: Standardizing for Stakeholder Education
Authors: Iannone Basil , Carnevale Shannon , Main Martin , Hill Jeff , McConnell Julie , Johnson Steven , Enloe Stephen , Andreu Michael , Bell Emily , Cuda James , Baker Shirley
Published: June 2023

The excessive number of terms associated with invasive species, and their often incorrect usage, hinders stakeholder education about the threats of invasive species. Here we introduce seven terms (native, nonnative, introduced, established, invasive, nuisance, and range change) that are applicable across invasive taxa, understandable, typically interpreted correctly, and useful for describing most situations regarding invasive species. We also list six terms to avoid (native invasive, invasive exotic, invasive weed, alien, foreign, and nonindigenous) that create confusion via their misuse and misinterpretation. The terms we propose will increase understanding, thereby promoting behavior changes aimed at limiting the negative impacts of invasive species
Preparing to Cocreate: Using Learning Circles to Ready Extension Professionals for Meaningful Stakeholder Engagement
Authors: Bertsch Bob , Heemstra Jill , Golick Doug
Published: June 2023

Extension professionals are being asked to address complex public issues. Doing so requires cocreative approaches that engage, in a significant way, the people affected by these issues. Successful engagement, however, requires specific skills and a cocreative mind-set. Extension professionals in two states participated in learning circles to improve their engagement skills. Using a survey and interviews, we studied the impact of the learning circle experience on participants. We found that learning circles helped participants practice colearning, build relationships, and change their mind-sets in ways that could move their work toward more cocreative efforts.

Authors: Webb Gary , Brady Heidi , O'Hara Cassandra , Sacra Sadie
Published: June 2023

We conducted a survey to assess parasite control programs used by three groups of horse owners. The majority of those surveyed indicated that they received information on parasite control from veterinarians, with only 6% indicating reliance on Extension materials for such information. Most participants did not use fecal egg counts as part of their parasite control programs, and most were not aware of parasite resistance to anthelmintics. Our survey results highlight areas in which education for horse owners may be needed.
Structured Support Advances Extension Educator Intercultural Development During a Short-Term Study Abroad Experience
Authors: Erickson MaryGrace , Grant Jacie , Karcher Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Extension educators need intercultural competence to communicate with international audiences and facilitate dialogue in diverse domestic communities. Although many Extension professionals have traveled abroad, experience abroad does not necessarily lead to intercultural competence without intentional intercultural development support. We describe a novel program designed to develop Extension educators' intercultural competence by involving them as mentors in an undergraduate agriculture study abroad program. Statements by the participating educators support increased ability to recognize and adapt to multiple frameworks, increased self-reflection, and enriched interactions and programming for their diverse communities.
Implementing Demonstration to Promote the Sustainable Farming Practice of Using Cover Cropping Systems
Authors: Wang Qingren , Miller Christian , Zhang Shouan
Published: June 2023

Use of cover cropping systems has multiple benefits for agriculture. To convince vegetable growers to adopt such systems, we applied a field demonstration in which we grew selected cover crops during the off-season and then tomatoes. We focused on implementation of a science-based demonstration design and attended to the usefulness of the demonstration and audience timing preferences. As a result, growers grasped the advantages of growing cover crops and, consequently, have extensively adopted cover cropping systems, thereby applying a critically important practice for crop management and agricultural sustainability. Our method and findings can help Extension educators better implement programs to convince agricultural producers to adopt desirable farming practices that improve sustainable agriculture.

Authors: Carr Chad , Abrams Katie , Roberts Grady , Phillipps Kylie , Velinsky Victoria , Eubanks Larry , Scheffler Jason , Johnson Dwain
Published: June 2023

Massive open online courses (MOOCs) offer a unique platform through which Extension can provide valuable education. We explored The Meat We Eat, a MOOC designed to create a more informed meat consumer and increase perceptions of transparency surrounding meat production. Compared to pretest respondents (n = 490), students who completed the posttest (n = 226) had an improved attitude toward meat and slaughter, an improved perception of the meat industry’s transparency, and increased knowledge. These findings suggest the relevance and value of MOOCs as Extension activities for improving knowledge and attitudes toward animal agriculture and other topics.
Questions Farmers Ask: Implications for Improving Information Resources for Farmer Audiences
Authors: Formiga Alicia
Published: June 2023

eOrganic, the Organic Agriculture Community of eXtension, has conducted webinars on organic farming research for over a decade. I examined questions asked by farmers and university researchers or educators during 52 webinars presented 2015–2017. A higher proportion of questions asked by farmers than questions asked by researchers/educators were about risks, benefits, and problem solving, and the farmers' questions contained many innovative ideas about production. A higher proportion of researcher/educator questions than farmer questions related to details of research studies, though farmers also posed questions about research methods. This article contains suggestions about tailoring research presentations to farmer audiences and confirms the mutual benefits of collaborations between farmers and researchers.
Measuring the Economic Benefit of Extension Leadership Programs: McLeod for Tomorrow
Authors: Tuck Brigid , Chazdon Scott , Rasmussen Catherine , Bohn Hannah
Published: June 2023

Extension-led leadership programs provide economic benefits. Historically, evaluators have struggled to quantify these benefits as compared to costs. Further, leadership programs have both public and private value, which are difficult to quantify. To address gaps in understanding the value of leadership development programs, we quantified the economic benefit of the McLeod for Tomorrow leadership program. Through an alumni survey and a mind-mapping session, we collected data on the program's public and private benefits. Our findings show that each dollar invested creates $5.60 in economic benefit and that public value exceeds private value. Our article provides insights into methods for quantifying benefits of Extension programs, regardless of specialization or location.

From Territorial to Transformational: A New Framework for Master Volunteer Engagement
Authors: Washburn Lisa , Crocker Andrew , Leatherman JoAnne
Published: June 2023

Meaningful volunteer engagement depends on the Extension professional's volunteer management philosophy, training, and organizational support for using volunteers. Volunteer development and leadership development are typically absent from management-focused volunteer models used in Extension. Professional development of the Extension professional, beyond discrete management tasks, is lacking but is needed for authentic volunteer engagement through master volunteer programs. A volunteer engagement framework is described to guide a shift from volunteer management to engagement, including use of principles of the community-based participatory approach. The volunteer engagement framework can help professionals identify and self-assess the skill set needed for authentic and sustained volunteer involvement in support of Extension.

Authors: Comito Jacqueline , Ripley Elizabeth , Licht Mark , Janke Adam
Published: June 2023

Despite external influences such as societal restrictions imposed during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, farmers continue to work, and needs for outreach and education have not waned. Extension professionals must continue to support these needs by using media and channels not typically employed when more traditional vehicles, such as on-site consultations and field days, are not practical or safe. The Iowa Learning Farms team from Iowa State University Outreach and Extension has developed a successful Virtual Field Day program using available online tools that can be easily adopted by other Extension organizations to facilitate outreach.
SRWC-PEAM: A Comprehensive Appraisal Tool for Short-Rotation Woody Crops in the Southeast
Authors: Ghezehei Solomon , Hazel Dennis , Nichols Elizabeth
Published: June 2023

Short-rotation woody crops (SRWCs) are fast-growing trees grown for energy or paper production. The productivity and economic assessment model for short-rotation woody crops, or SRWC-PEAM, is a web-based tool for evaluating the potential to produce woody feedstock from SRWCs on marginal lands in the southeastern United States. Productivity and economic assessments are based on land history and conditions, species, economic factors and management, and an enterprise budget developed according to recent field research and published data. Extension professionals can use SRWC-PEAM to evaluate stand establishment and management options to find profitable SRWC project scenarios for landowners and improve producers' economic risk management decisions for SRWCs.

Authors: Kavanaugh Shane , Allen Brenda
Published: June 2023

Research indicates that positive youth development (PYD) programming leads to improved developmental outcomes. Yet there continues to be a lack of clarity about how PYD programs are defined and measured. Therefore, Common Measures 2.0 was created for assessing 4-H youth development programs. We examined the universal skills (intrapersonal and interpersonal) and engaged citizenship scales of Common Measures 2.0 through a survey of 175 participants at a 4-H youth leadership conference. Intrapersonal and interpersonal skills were significantly positively associated with engaged citizenship. The universal skills and engaged citizenship scales showed acceptable factor loadings and Cronbach's alpha values. Limitations and future directions are discussed.

Income Components in the Italian and International Experience: From the Contraposition between Ordinary and Extraordinary Costs and Revenues to the Contraposition
Authors: Silvia Avi Prof. Maria
Published: June 2023

The costs and revenues recognised in the profit and loss for users outside the company have evolved in various countries and at the level of international accounting standards concerning the juxtaposition of large aggregates of negative and positive income components. Over time, there was talk of costs and revenues without any contraposition whatsoever, even going so far as to state that a profit and loss was perfectly valid with three items recorded in such a document: total costs, total revenues, profit or loss for the year. Over time, this situation has completely changed both in Italy and internationally. In the 1990s, the profit and loss governed by the international IAS and the profit and loss governed by Italian civil law presupposed the contraposition of extraordinary costs and revenues. After this contraposition had been eliminated at the international level, discussions began in Italy about whether the contraposition between extraordinary and ordinary income components could be replaced with another contraposition using the term 'extraneousness' or 'not extraneousness' to the company's activity.
Is ChatGPT a Good Teacher Coach? Measuring Zero-Shot Performance For Scoring and Providing Actionable Insights on Classroom Instruction
Authors: Wang Rose , Demszky Dorottya
Published: June 2023

Coaching, which involves classroom observation and expert feedback, is a widespread and fundamental part of teacher training. However, the majority of teachers do not have access to consistent, high quality coaching due to limited resources and access to expertise. We explore whether generative AI could become a cost-effective complement to expert feedback by serving as an automated teacher coach. In doing so, we propose three teacher coaching tasks for generative AI: (A) scoring transcript segments based on classroom observation instruments, (B) identifying highlights and missed opportunities for good instructional strategies, and (C) providing actionable suggestions for eliciting more student reasoning. We recruit expert math teachers to evaluate the zero-shot performance of ChatGPT on each of these tasks for elementary math classroom transcripts. Our results reveal that ChatGPT generates responses that are relevant to improving instruction, but they are often not novel or insightful. For example, 82% of the model's suggestions point to places in the transcript where the teacher is already implementing that suggestion. Our work highlights the challenges of producing insightful, novel and truthful feedback for teachers while paving the way for future research to address these obstacles and improve the capacity of generative AI to coach teachers.

Resultados: Um modelo contendo as variáveis dor, ansiedade, depressão, escore de Elixhauser, e número de medicamentos atingiu área sob a curva de 0,853 (IC95% 0,813-0,893) para identificar idosos sob risco de receber prescrição de MPII. Os resultados corroboram que a ansiedade [OR 10,6 (IC95% 1,29-87,0), p=0.028] e depressão [OR 40,3 (IC95% 5,05-321), p<0.001] são fatores de risco independentes para o uso de MPII.Conclusão: Ferramentas de suporte à decisão clínica podem incorporar modelos preditores como os desenvolvidos no presente trabalho, aumentando o nível de informação e facilitando a sinalização de MPII no ato da prescrição.

Slum areas are often seen in urban spatial policy gaps. The slum area becomes a dilemma, it portrays the unsuccessful management of a city area, on the other hand the reality of the city has the potential to become slum area tourism as an alternative attraction for tourism in urban areas.  Efforts made by stakeholders in terms of city management tend to ignore slum areas as a city reality that has never touched a solution to the problem. Slum areas with social problems require real solutions.  Through tourism in slum areas, residents innovate to represent and interpret their territory to find solutions for themselves. So far, studies on slum area tourism regarding how local residents represent and interpret their territory are still rare. Therefore, this study tries to look at the initiative to practice representation and interpretation of local residents in their area, and how stakeholders represent slum areas in their area through a qualitative study using a city tourism approach. Based on the results of data collection, a description of the situation of slum areas and their communities can practically represent themselve as the reality of the city and present themselve as part of the development of city tourism. By imaging the slum area, local people earn income from interacting with tourists who hope to get a complete experience of the city's tourist destinations they visit. On the other hand, local communities who are involved in the practice of representing slum area tourism indirectly criticize city management by displaying the contrast between slum area residents and tourists through digital media within the framework of local initiatives as a form of development participation.

The results of previous research on tourism digitization tend to legitimize the success of optimizing tourism digitization. These studies use the "single case" of tourist villages and digital platforms. Digitalization is not fully effective in supporting tourism performance. The purpose of this research is to reveal the utility of various digital media and tourist destinations in the structure of market competition. This study uses descriptive qualitative research methods. The study found that village tourism types are categorized into mass, live-in and religious tourism. All villages vary digital media in dissimilar preferences. Market structure analysis ensures that a small number of tourist villages become market leaders-forming monopoly market structure, while the majority are peripheral tourism villages. Digital multimedia options and types of tours are placed to win the performance. Four digitization and performance patterns are stated as effective, ineffective, not yet effective, and not digitalized. In mass tourism, multimedia is too effective in supporting the position of market leader.  In live-in and religious tourism villages, it was found to be ineffective and not digitized, but the characteristics of these two types of villages need another performance review approach. This study suggests important policies are needed to improve market structure.
