Wetlands like the Albufera d'Alcúdia lagoon in Mallorca provide important habitats for plants and animals while also helping with water storage and filtration. The lagoon has been used by humans for centuries for fishing, farming, and other activities, but these uses threatened the lagoon's ecology. In 1988, the lagoon was protected as a natural park to preserve the wetland from further destruction from urban development and intensive agriculture.

This project is the result from the joint association between the José Marín Secondary School in Velez Rubio (Almería, Spain) and Willibald-Gymnasium High School in the Bavarian town of Eichstätt (Germany). Besides, this is a consequence of the town-twinning between these two European towns, which has allowed teachers of both educational centres to share their interest in organizing a school exchange.

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.
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.

8. In fact, they built an important city nearby -Pol·lèntia- for that reason.

10. Since XVII Century on, people had been trying to gain new lands from the Albufera . People wanted these new lands to cultivate them.
11. The huge amount of mosquitoes living in the area was the cause of a lot of diseases, such as malaria. So, for sanitary reasons, Government decided to dry it up in XIX Century.
12. After a first project, a second one, much more ambitious, was executed by an English company, the New Majorca Land Company . More than 1.500 people worked hard, but the project never was ended.
13. Traditionally, the Albufera has had a lot of uses: Hunting, fishing ( anguiles , for instance), gathering canyís (to make the ceilings of the houses) or bova (to make chairs)...
14. And, besides, during the XX Century, the Albufera had many other different uses: people cultivated rice, placed a paper factory, extracted salt...
15. The progress threatened the Albufera : urban develpment, intesive agriculture and the close proximity of the electric power station of Es Murterar put this important wetland in danger.
16. A lot of voices claimed to stop the Albufera 's destruction.
17. Finally, the Albufera was declared Natural Park by the Balearic Government on 28th February 1988. It was the first naturally protected area in the Balearic Islands.
