Building Models of Social Processes from the Ground Up: Two Case StudiesJane Gilgun
Social workers tilt at windmills. We want to create a just and caring society. All we have to do is read headlines of local, national, and international news to see the difficulties of the tasks we have chosen for ourselves. When we reflect upon the work we do, we have more evidence that our work may be never-ending. The bright spots, hope, and the vision of a caring world impel us onward. In this think tank, I will show how I have developed models of social processes that I hope others can use in their quests for a more just and caring society. In each of these models, I drew upon the four cornerstones of evidence-based practice: research and theory, practice wisdom, service user wants, preferences, and values, and my own personal and professional values, experiences, and reflections. The two case studies are 1) factors associated with good outcomes when children have experienced complex trauma and 2) a model of intervention with perpetrators of interpersonal violence.

This presentation would describe a critical analysis of construction of disciplinary knowledge at various forms of academic areas for the learners and will also helpful to improve disciplinary skills for the excellence
An introduction to Research Approaches in Higher Education for new or existing university teachers or academics interested in using research to inform their teaching.
It is a short overview of not-so-famous researcher, who would have been a Nobel Prize recipient on seminal contribution to biology , especially to DNA replication and " Okazaki" fragment was named at his honour
Covid-19, commonly known as Coronavirus, is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus. It is a known fact that RNA-duplex and RNA-DNA duplex is thermodynamically more stable than ds-DNA which in turn is more stable than ss-RNA i.e. it requires more harsh conditions (Like higher temperature) to denature ds-RNA than ds-DNA. So, injecting a modified anti-sense RNA would effectively arrest RNA proliferation by forming a near-neutral duplex (i.e. this Duplex can't be proofread stopping the retrosynthesis) in a Corona-affected patient, which is the key idea of my project.

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.

13. What is Science?
“Science is a systematic enterprise that creates,
builds and organizes knowledge in the form of
testable explanations and predictions about the
universe.”
Wikipedia
14. Science is…
•A set of methods
• Primarily, evidence-based reasoning
•A type of human knowledge
and
•A social practice/institution
16. Attributes of Scientific Research
• Systematic Enquiry
• Hypothesis
• Objective Search
• Reproducibility
• Modelling
• Theory/Framework of Theory
• Inductive and Deductive Reasoning
17. Systematic Enquiry: Research is a systematic
enquiry or investigation aimed at acquiring
new knowledge or solving a given problem. It
involves certain approaches and methods for
arriving at answers.
18. Hypothesis: A scientific hypothesis is the initial
building block in the scientific method. It is an
idea or explanation that can be tested (and
proved correct or wrong) through study and
experimentation. It is often coded as an
“if…then” formulation.
19. Objective Search: Scientific objectivity expresses
the idea that the claims, methods, and results of
science are not, or should not be influenced by
particular perspectives, value commitments,
community bias or personal interests etc.
20. Reproducibility: A measurement
is reproducible if the investigation is repeated
by another person, or by using different
equipment or techniques, and the same results
(or close enough to be valid) are obtained.
21. • Modelling: A model is a mental-visual
representation of an idea, an object, or a
process or a system that is used to describe
and explain phenomena that cannot be
experienced directly. Models link theory with
experiments.
22. • Theory: A scientific theory is an explanation of
an aspect of the natural world that can be
repeatedly tested and verified in accordance
with the scientific method, using accepted
protocols of observation, measurement, and
evaluation of results.
23. Creating a Hypothesis
Testing of Hypothesis
(design of experimental apparatus)
Reproducibility of Experiment
If the experiment fails, then the hypothesis is
rejected, or eventually superseded by a
hypothesis that is experimentally supported.
25. Summary
- Society and science are inextricably linked.
- Society and science shape each other.
- Science is only a sub-set of knowledge about the
world around us.
- What constitutes scientific knowledge as opposed
to other knowledge changes through time.
- The writing, reading, and listening
(communication) of information constitutes
knowledge.
- Science does not exist in a bubble isolated from
language and other systems.
