Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

5.-FUNGI.pptx
1.
2. • Fungi are achlorophyllous, heterotrophic, thallophytic and eukaryotic
organisms having cell wall in their cell. About 1, 00,000 species of fungi have
been identified. Study of fungi is called Mycology.
General characters:
• - They are cosmopolitan in distribution. Mostly they are found in dark and
moist places where decaying organic matters are found.
• -They are achlorophyllous, thallophytic, eukaryotic , multicellular organisms
except yeast, with simple body organization.
• - Their vegetative body is tubular filamentous and branched known as
hyphae. The mass of hyphae is known as mycelium.
• - Their cell wall is made up of chitin (fungal cellulose).
• - Reserve food materials are glycogen, oil droplets, lipid and volutin
granules.
• - Reproduction takes place by vegetative, asexual and sexual method.
• Sex organs are unicellular, if multicellular all cells act as gametes.
• - Due to the lack of chlorophyll they can’t prepared their own food. So, they
show heterotrophic mode of nutrition. Mostly they are saprophytic, some are
parasitic and few are symbiotic in nature.
• -They do not have vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) and embryonic stage
in their life cycle.
• Example: Mucor, Rhizopus, Agaricus, Albugo, Mushroom,Saprolegnia etc.
3. On the basis of the organisation of the vegetative thallus, the morphology of
reproductive structures, the way of spores production and particular life
cycle involved the kingdom mycota is classified into following divisions.
a) Phycomycetes:
• -They have comparatively simple thallus, may be unicellular or filamentous.
Filamentous body of fungi is known as hypha.
• Hypha is aseptate and coenocytic.
• - They may be aquatic or terrestrial, parasitic or saprophytic.
• - Asexual reproduction takes place by motile spore known as Zoospore and
non-motile spore.
• - Sexual reproduction takes place by plasmogametic fusion and gametangial
conjugation.
They are classified into two further types:
i) Oomycetes
• - They are mostly aquatic and parasitic. Only few are saprophytic.
• - Asexual reproduction takes place by zoospore and sexual reproduction
takes place by plamogametic fusion and gametangial contact.
• - The name oomycetes due to the formation of diploid zygote known as
oospore, e.g. Phytopthora.
4. ii) Zygomycetes (Conjugation fungi)
- They are mostly terrestrial and saprophytic and some are parasitic.
- Asexual reproduction takes place by non-motile spores. Sexual
reproduction takes place by conjugation.
- The name Zygomycetes due to the formation of diploid Zygote called
zygospore.
Examples; Rhizopus, Mucor etc
b) Ascomycetes(Sac fungi):
- They are mostly terrestrial, saprophytic and parasitic.
- Hypha is septate and branched but some species are unicellular.
- vegetative reproduction takes place by fragmentation, budding and
fission.
- Asexual reproduction takes place by conidia, chlymydospore etc.
- Sexual reproduction takes place by gametengial conjugation,
somatogamy.
- A sac like structure called ascus is formed after fusion of male and
female gametes,
- Examples Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Penicillium, Aspergillus etc.
5. c) Basidiomycetes(Club Fungi):
• - They are mostly terrestrial, saprophytic, parasitic and symbiotic.
• - Hypha is septate and branched. Two types of hypha or mycelium are
found, i.e. primary mycelium, secondary mycelium.
• - Asexual reproduction takes place by conidia and chlymydospore etc.
• - Sexual reproduction takes place by somatogamy.
• The two nucleus of dikaryotic mycelium fused to form club shaped zygote
called basidia.
• Examples; Mushrooms, Puccinia, Ustilago etc.
d) Deuteromycetes (The Imperfect Fungi)
• Deuteromycetes compromises more than 17000 species of the
diverse habits and habitats. It is considered as an artificial class of fungi.
• They are mostly terrestrial and parasitic. Only few are saprophytes.
• - Hypha is septate and branched.
• - Asexual reproduction takes place by conidia, oidia and chlymydospore.
• - Sexual reproduction is absent so they are known as fungi imperfecti.
• The asexual stage or imperfect stage in Deuteromycetes is well defined. But
the sexual or perfect stage is absent in life cycle, so, they are called ‘Fungi
imperfecti’.
• Example; Alternaria, Fusarium, Helminthosporium etc.
6. Algae
1. They are chlorophyllous,
autotrophic thallophytes.
2. They grow in aquatic and semi-
aquatic habitat.
3. For their development light is
essential.
4. They are free-living autotrophs.
5. Cell wall is made by cellulose.
6. They store food material in the
form of starch.
7. Examples: Spirogyra, Ulothrix,
volvox, Laminaria,
Batrachospermum etc.
Fungi
1. They are achlorophyllous,
heterotrophic thallophytes.
2. They grow in moist and shady
places.
3. They grow only in absence of light.
4. Mostly they are saprophytic, some
are parasitic and symbiotic in
nature.
5. Cell wall is made by chitin (fungal
cellulose).
6. They store food materials in the
form of glycogen and oil droplets.
7. Examples: Albugo, Mucor,
Alternaria, Agaricus, Puccnia,
Rhizopus etc.
7. Positive:
a. Food value: Fruiting body of some fungi like Mushroom are used as sources of food.
b. Industrial use:
- In baking industries yeast are used to produce different food materials, like
Bread, cake, idili, dosa etc
- In Brewery industries different alcoholic products, like: beer, wine, whisky, rum, gin etc. are
produced by using yeast, Aspergillus, Peniillium etc.
- In the production of cheese in diary industries.
- In the production of different enzymes some fungi like yeast for the production of
invertase and Zymase ; Penicillium for Pectinase; Apergillus for amylase etc
-Some fungi are used for the production of organic acids like Citric acid, lactic acid, oxalic
acid, Fumaric acid etc.
c. Medical use: some fungi like Aspergillus, Penicillium, Claviceps etc. are used to produce
antibiotics like Ergotine, Penicillin, Natatin, Clavifermin, Albidin , etc.
d. Fungi help to increase the fertility of soil by decomposing organic matters.
e. Some are used in hormone production, water treatment, curing of coca beans etc.
Negative:
a) Spoilage of food materials like, meat, vegetable, fruits, diary products etc.
b) Spoilage and destruction of different goods like, leather goods, timber, furnitures, textile
etc
c) Some fungi may cause food poisoning and may take the human life , like Mushroom.
d) Some fungi may cause different plant and animal diseases, like early blight of potato by
Alternaria , White rust of wheat by Puccinia, Wilt of tomato by Fusarium in plant simillary
Aspergelosis by Aspergillus, Ringworm by Candida etc.
