Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection explains that all species share a common ancestry. Genetic variations arise randomly within populations and are subject to natural selection, where traits better suited to the environment are more likely to be passed on through reproduction. Over many generations, this process leads to the emergence of new species. Biopsychology and neuroscience apply principles of biology and evolution to the study of the mind and behavior. The brain is the most complex structure known, with over 100 billion nerve cells, and both genetics and environment influence traits like intelligence, personality, and mental health. Genes provide the basic blueprint for an individual that is carried on chromosomes, but environmental factors also impact how genes are expressed.

Nurturing the genius of genes the new frontier of education, therapy, and un...Dennis Embry
Not every child seems equally susceptible to the same parental, educational, or environmental influences even if cognitive level is similar. This study is the first ran- domized controlled trial to apply the differential susceptibility paradigm to education in relation to children’s genotype and early literacy skills. A randomized pretest–posttest control group design was used to examine the effects of the Intelligent Tutoring System Living Letters. Two intervention groups were created, 1 receiving feedback and 1 completing the program without feedback, and 1 control group. Carriers of the long variant of the dopamine D4 receptor gene (DRD4 7-repeat) profited most from the computer program with positive feed- back, whereas they performed at the lowest level of early literacy skills in the absence of such feedback. Our findings suggest that behind modest overall educational intervention effects a strong effect on a subgroup of susceptible children may be hidden.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter 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 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.

2. Darwin’s evolution theory:
– all creatures: common ancestry
– species goal is to reproduce;
– genetics gives us variations which
help adapt to environments,
– the ‘best’ adaptations carry on
the genes by reproduction
– Natural selection: ‘weeding out’
process eliminates the ‘weak link’
trait (does not happen in one
generation)
3. Biopsychology and neuroscience
– ‘new’ discipline in psychology. Mixes various areas
of study + technology
– * “Biology underlies all human sensation and
perception, learning and memory, passion and
pain, reason—and even madness” *
– Nature vs. nurture Neuroscience: connecting the
brain and mind
4. Brain
– 100 billion nerve cells
– Most complex structure known
– We have extras that are ‘pruned’ or die off
– We do generate new cells
– We end up with 98 %
5. Genetics and evolution:
• Applied to psychology, helps to explain LOTS. Ex:
phobias about things that may have killed us in the
past
• What can you remember so far that has been
explained (at least in part) by evolutionary
principles?
7. Genes and inheritance
• Genes encode info that become your traits
• Blueprint in every nucleus of every cell
• Also influence personality, fears, behavior, etc
8. • Genes from parents yet you are unique
• Heredity; unique combo of genes (genotype)
• Phenotype is physical structure, visible traits
• Environment affects phenotype too (nutrition,
disease, stress)
Genes and inheritance
9. Chromosomes, Genes, DNA
• 23 pairs of chromosomes (46 total) Thanks mom
and dad!
Small Large
Gene sequence DNA strands Chromosome nucleus cell
10. • DNA strands are made up of
nucleotides (‘letters’) that make
up genes ‘words’
• Genes are ‘words’ that make up
chromosome ‘sentences/
paragraphs’
• Genetic expression; punctuation
that tells how and when genes
are expressed
11. Chromosomes, Genes, DNA
• Complete DNA = 30,000 genes
• Sex chromosomes:
– X from Mom
– X or Y from dad
• XX = baby girl
• XY = baby boy
• Variation: slight shuffling of pairing of genes =
different genotype even in siblings
12. Genetic explanations
• Genes influence psychology as well as physical
traits
– Intelligence, personality, mental disorders, reading
and language abilities, and (sexual orientation)
• Single gene vs. multiple genes?
– Schizophrenia and Alzheimer's
– Never attribute psychological characteristics to
genetics alone
Heredity Environment
13. Choosing Child’s Genes
• Human Genome project maps genetic code
• Insight: cancer, heart disease, schizophrenia,
and Alzheimers
• Select the sex of the baby…add or delete
certain traits in the developing fetus?!
• Stem cells: generic, non-committed cells
– Cloning: organ or entire organism
– In vitro fertilization
