We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
3. OVERVIEW
• The head is the superior part of the body that is
attached to the trunk by the neck.
• It is the control and communications center as well as
the “loading dock” for the body.
• It houses the brain and, therefore, is the site of our
consciousness: ideas, creativity, imagination,
responses, decision making, and memory.
• It includes special sensory receivers (eyes, ears,
mouth, and nose), broadcast devices for voice and
expression, and portals for the intake of fuel (food),
water, and oxygen and the exhaust of carbon dioxide
4. • It consists of :
– Brain and its protective coverings,
– Ears
– Face.
• The face includes:
–
–
–
–
–
•
•
openings and passageways
lubricating glands
valves (seals) to close some of them
the masticatory (chewing) devices
the orbits that house the visual apparatus.
The face also provides our identity as individuals.
Disease, malformation, or trauma of structures in the head
form the bases of many specialties, including
• dentistry, maxillofacial surgery, neurology, neuroradiology,
neurosurgery, ophthalmology, oral surgery, otology, rhinology, and
psychiatry
5. Skull Vs Cranium
• Skull = Cranium + Mandible
• The cranium has two parts:
– Neurocranium
• Roof or Cranial Vault, dome-like, calvaria (skullcap)
• Floor or cranial base (basicranium).
– Viscerocranium
6.
7. Neurocranium
• The neurocranium is:
– The bony case of the brain
– Its membranous coverings, the cranial meninges.
– It also contains proximal parts of the cranial nerves
– The vasculature of the brain.
• The in adults is formed by a series of 8 eight bones:
– Four singular bones centered on the midline
• frontal, ethmoidal, sphenoidal, and occipital
– Two sets of bones occurring as bilateral pairs
8. • The bones making the calvaria are primarily flat
bones :
– Frontal
– Parietal
– Occipital
• formed by intramembranous ossification of head mesenchyme
from the neural crest.
• The bones contributing to the cranial base are
primarily irregular bones with substantial flat
portions:
– Sphenoidal
– Temporal
• formed by endochondral ossification of cartilage
(chondrocranium) or from more than one type of ossification.
9. • The ethmoid bone is an irregular bone that makes a
relatively minor midline contribution to:
– the neurocranium but is primarily part of the viscerocranium.
• The so-called flat bones and flat portions of the bones
forming the neurocranium are actually curved, with convex
external and concave internal surfaces.
• Most calvarial bones are united by fibrous interlocking
sutures; however, during childhood, some bones (sphenoid
and occipital) are united by hyaline cartilage
(synchondroses).
• The spinal cord is continuous with the brain through the
foramen magnum, a large opening in the cranial base
10. viscerocranium (facial skeleton)
• It comprises the facial bones that mainly develop in the
mesenchyme of the embryonic pharyngeal arches.
• It forms the anterior part of the cranium and consists
of the bones surrounding the mouth (upper and lower
jaws), nose/nasal cavity, and most of the orbits (eye
sockets or orbital cavities).
• It consists of 15 irregular bones:
– 3 singular bones centered on or lying in the midline
• mandible, ethmoid, and vomer
– 6 bones occurring as bilateral pairs
• Maxillae; inferior nasal conchae; and zygomatic, palatine, nasal,
and lacrimal bones.
11. • The maxillae and mandible house the teeth—that
is, they provide the sockets and supporting bone
for the maxillary and mandibular teeth. The
maxillae contribute the greatest part of the upper
facial skeleton, forming the skeleton of the upper
jaw, which is fixed to the cranial base.
• The mandible forms the skeleton of the lower
jaw, which is movable because it articulates with
the cranial base at the temporomandibular joints
12. Pneumatized Bones
– Frontal
– Temporal
– Sphenoid
– Ethmoid bones
• Contain air spaces (air cells or large sinuses),
presumably to decrease their weight.
• The total volume of the air spaces in these bones
increases with age.
13. Orbitomeatal plane (Frankfort
horizontal plane)
• In the anatomical position, the cranium is
oriented so that:
– the inferior margin of the orbit and the superior
margin of the external acoustic opening of the
external acoustic meatus of both sides lie in the
same horizontal plane .
• This standard craniometric reference is the
orbitomeatal plane (Frankfort horizontal
plane).
14. Facial Aspect of Cranium
• Features of the anterior or facial (frontal) aspect of the
cranium are:
– Frontal and zygomatic bones, orbits, nasal region, maxillae,
and mandible.
• The frontal bone, specifically its squamous (flat) part,
forms the skeleton of the forehead, articulating
inferiorly with the nasal and zygomatic bones.
• In some adults a metopic suture, a persistent frontal
suture or remnant of it, is visible in the midline of the
glabella, the smooth, slightly depressed area between
the superciliary arches. The frontal suture divides the
frontal bones of the fetal cranium
15.
16.
17. • The intersection of the frontal and the nasal bones is the
nasion (L. nasus, nose), which in most people is related to a
distinctly depressed area (bridge of nose) .
– The nasion is one of many craniometric points that are used
radiographically in medicine (or on dry crania in physical
anthropology) to make cranial measurements, compare and
describe the topography of the cranium, and document abnormal
variations.
• The frontal bone also articulates with the lacrimal, ethmoid,
and sphenoids; a horizontal portion of bone (orbital part)
forms both the roof of the orbit and part of the floor of the
anterior part of the cranial cavity .
• The supra-orbital margin of the frontal bone, the angular
boundary between the squamous and the orbital parts, has a
supra-orbital foramen or notch in some crania for passage of
the supra-orbital nerve and vessels.
• Just superior to the supra-orbital margin is a ridge, the
superciliary arch, that extends laterally on each side from the
glabella. The prominence of this ridge, deep to the eyebrows,
is generally greater in males.
18. • The zygomatic bones: (cheek bones, malar bones), forming the
prominences of the cheeks, lie on the inferolateral sides of the
orbits and rest on the maxillae. The anterolateral rims, walls, floor,
and much of the infra-orbital margins of the orbits are formed by
these quadrilateral bones. A small zygomaticofacial foramen
pierces the lateral aspect of each bone. The zygomatic bones
articulate with the frontal, sphenoid, and temporal bones and the
maxillae.
• Inferior to the nasal bones: is the pear-shaped piriform aperture,
the anterior nasal opening in the cranium. The bony nasal septum
can be observed through this aperture, dividing the nasal cavity
into right and left parts. On the lateral wall of each nasal cavity are
curved bony plates, the nasal conchae.
• The maxillae: form the upper jaw; their alveolar processes include
the tooth sockets (alveoli) and constitute the supporting bone for
the maxillary teeth. The two maxillae are united at the
intermaxillary suture in the median plane. The maxillae surround
most of the piriform aperture and form the infra-orbital margins
medially. They have a broad connection with the zygomatic bones
laterally and an infraorbital foramen inferior to each orbit for
passage of the infra-orbital nerve and vessels
19. • The mandible: is a U-shaped bone with an alveolar
process that supports the mandibular teeth.
• It consists of a horizontal part, the body, and a
vertical part, the ramus.
• Inferior to the second premolar teeth are the
mental foramina for the mental nerves and vessels.
• The mental protuberance, forming the prominence
of the chin, is a triangular bony elevation inferior to
the mandibular symphysis (L. symphysis menti), the
osseous union where the halves of the infantile
mandible fuse
20. Lateral Aspect of Cranium
• The lateral aspect of the cranium is formed by both the neurocranium and
the viscerocranium.
– The main features of the neurocranial part are the temporal fossa, the
external acoustic opening, and the mastoid process of the temporal bone.
– The main features of the viscerocranial part are the infratemporal fossa,
zygomatic arch, and lateral aspects of the maxilla and mandible.
• The temporal fossa is bounded:
– superiorly and posteriorly by the superior and inferior temporal lines,
– anteriorly by the frontal and zygomatic bones, and inferiorly by the zygomatic
arch.
•
The superior border of this arch corresponds to the inferior limit of the
cerebral hemisphere of the brain.
• The zygomatic arch is formed by the union of the temporal process of the
zygomatic bone and the zygomatic process of the temporal bone
21. • In the anterior part of the temporal fossa, 3-4 cm superior to the
midpoint of the zygomatic arch, is a clinically important area of
bone junctions: the pterion (G. pteron, wing).
– It is usually indicated by an H-shaped formation of sutures that unite
the frontal, parietal, sphenoid (greater wing), and temporal bones.
Less commonly, the frontal and temporal bones articulate; sometimes
all four bones meet at a point.
• The external acoustic opening (pore) is the entrance to the external
acoustic meatus (canal), which leads to the tympanic membrane
(eardrum). The mastoid process of the temporal bone is
posteroinferior to the external acoustic opening.
• Anteromedial to the mastoid process is the styloid process of the
temporal bone, a slender needle-like, pointed projection.
• The infratemporal fossa is an irregular space inferior and deep to
the zygomatic arch and the mandible and posterior to the maxilla.
22.
23.
24.
25.
26. Occipital Aspect of Cranium
• The posterior or occipital aspect of the cranium is composed of the occiput
(L. back of head, the convex posterior protuberance of the squamous part
of the occipital bone), parts of the parietal bones, and mastoid parts of the
temporal bones.
• The external occipital protuberance, is usually easily palpable in the median
plane; however, occasionally (especially in females) it may be
inconspicuous. A craniometric point defined by the tip of the external
protuberance is the inion (G. nape of neck)
• The external occipital crest descends from the protuberance toward the
foramen magnum, the large opening in the basal part of the occipital bone
• The superior nuchal line, marking the superior limit of the neck, extends
laterally from each side of the protuberance; the inferior nuchal line is less
distinct. In the center of the occiput, lambda indicates the junction of the
sagittal and the lambdoid sutures lambda can sometimes be felt as a
depression. One or more sutural bones (accessory bones) may be located at
lambda or near the mastoid process
27.
28. Superior Aspect of Cranium
• The superior (vertical) aspect of the cranium, usually somewhat oval in
form, broadens posterolaterally at the parietal eminences . In some people,
frontal eminences are also visible, giving the calvaria an almost square
appearance.
• The coronal suture separates the frontal and parietal bones , the sagittal
suture separates the parietal bones, and the lambdoid suture separates the
parietal and temporal bones from the occipital bone .
• Bregma is the craniometric landmark formed by the intersection of the
sagittal and coronal sutures .
• Vertex, the most superior point of the calvaria, is near the midpoint of the
sagittal suture.
• The parietal foramen is a small, inconstant aperture located posteriorly in
the parietal bone near the sagittal suture ; paired parietal foramina may be
present. Most irregular, highly variable foramina that occur in the
neurocranium are emissary foramina that transmit emissary veins, veins
connecting scalp veins to the venous sinuses of the dura mater
54. Buttresses of cranium.
• The strong muscles of
mastication extending
between the neurocranium
and mandible produce high
traction forces across the nasal
cavity and orbits. Thickened
portions of the bones of the
cranium form stronger pillars
or buttresses that transmit
forces, bypassing the orbits
and nasal cavity. Occipital
buttresses transmit forces
received lateral to the foramen
magnum from the vertebral
column.
