“…In the contemporary era of vigorously advocating the new century education, adhering to the concept of "people-oriented," we need to reunderstand and be cautious about our way of education and training people [4]. With the advancement of science and technology, an increasing number of excellent front-line teachers are turning to smart classrooms to modernize their teaching methods and bringing it into the classroom from three perspectives: educational concept, science and technology, and practical application, as well as using information-based methods to objectively display knowledge points in the classroom [5]. Different students have different physical education needs, but college and university physical education classrooms are limited.…”

Physical education is an essential part of a child’s education. With the extensive reform of education in recent years, the old physical education teaching mode now faces a situation of low teaching efficiency, low student learning efficiency, low student interest, and lack of classroom participation, which is incompatible with the spirit of modern education and the needs of social development. Smart classrooms are emerging to meet the demands of the new curriculum reform. Smart classroom teaching is a good teaching concept: physical education teaching should reflect experience, generation, innovation, and morality. In physical education, the situational teaching method is a new teaching mode. It replaces the old boring and assembly-line teaching method with a method that allows students to take control of the classroom. Smart classrooms have emerged as a new hot spot in school information teaching due to the rapid development and widespread application of the new generation of information technology, as well as the deepening integration of information technology and teaching.

“…Perennial cropping systems (orchards and vineyards) contribute to GHG emissions from soil, derived from the distribution of fertilizer and irrigation (Aguilera et al., 2015; Cayuela et al., 2017; Kendall et al., 2015; Smart et al., 2011; Steenwerth & Belina, 2010; Yu et al., 2017). Given the legislation to reduce GHGs from California's working lands (e.g., AB32 [2006]/AB1757 [2022]: Global Warming Solutions Act of 2006), the almond industry has increasingly pursued management strategies to reduce both N loss and water use (Almond Board of California, 2021; Baram et al., 2016; Goldhamer & Fereres, 2017; Rudnick et al., 2021; Wood et al., 2022). Practices to reduce N applications and N 2 O emissions have been prioritized, as carbon‐based GHGs (CO 2 and methane, or CH 4 ) are offset by the long tree lifespan (∼25 years as primary producers) and the trees’ CO 2 fixation (Marvinney et al., 2015).…”

Using compost as an agricultural amendment offers a means to reduce organic waste, as mandated in the US state of California (SB 1383). Compost can improve soil physical characteristics and soil carbon content by increasing soil organic matter. We examined the effect of compost application (7‐year duration) on soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions, inorganic N pools, soil temperature and water content, bulk density, and total C and N content. The orchard was composed of Nonpareil cultivars interplanted with Aldrich and Carmel cultivars, all grafted on ‘Nemaguard’ peach rootstock [Prunus persica (L.) Bratsch]. Its soil was Oakdale sandy loam (Coarse‐loamy, mixed, active, thermic Mollic Haploxeralf). Delivering nutrients through the irrigation system, the orchard was fertigated 14 times with urea ammonium nitrate or calcium ammonium nitrate, using high frequency and low concentration (HFLC) fertigation applications (total 195 kg N ha−1). Soil without compost (“no compost”) tended to have higher N2O fluxes (up to 2.75‐fold) than soil with compost (“compost”). Cumulative measured N2O emissions (i.e., sum of nine sampling events) from compost were half that from no compost. Soil pH, EC, total C and N tended to be greater in compost, and bulk density tended to be lower in compost than no compost. No relationships between N2O emissions and soil temperature, volumetric water content, water‐filled pore space, and inorganic N pools occurred in either treatment. Our findings indicate that long‐term applications of compost in perennial crops, in combination with a HFLC nutrient management program, could reduce losses of N as N2O to the atmosphere.This article is protected by copyright.

“…It is widely recognized that farmers differ in their rate of innovation adoption [3], and recent research has begun to investigate the factors that are significant drivers at the different stages of the adoption process [23][24][25][26]. Wood et al [24] and Doran et al [26] found that farmers' awareness and perceptions/attitudes were significant drivers at the early "conceptual learning" stage of the adoption process. However, behavioral change was strongly influenced by information sources and information access methods at the later "applied learning" stage [24].…”

The adoption of innovations, such as alternative crop establishment systems, can have significant impacts on farming systems and sustainability. The recent increased adoption of non-inversion establishment systems in Ireland allowed for an evaluation of technology adoption practices and information source use and access. Of the 154 arable growers surveyed, 50% practiced plough-based establishment and 50% used non-inversion establishment (min-till, strip-till, and direct drill systems). Differences in socio-demographics, farm characteristics, innovation adoption preferences, information sources, and information access methods used by growers who operated different systems were recorded. Direct drill growers had higher formal education levels and more off-farm employment than other growers and were prepared to take more risk than min-till growers, who were prepared to take more risk than plough-based growers in technology adoption scenarios. For both major change and agronomic decisions, non-inversion growers (especially direct drill) had substantially more non-Irish information sources in their top three information sources, suggesting the need for more national research on these systems in Ireland. Access to information through in-person interactions and print media was preferred by most. This study highlights the risk, where appropriate research is not available, of early adopters overly relying on non-validated information, potentially leading to the adoption of less sustainable practices.
