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

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 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. Barbiturates are a class of sedative-hypnotic
drugs. They are commonly used as anti epileptics
(phenobarbital) and for the induction of general
anesthesia (thiopental). Some states administer
barbiturates for physician-assisted
suicide/euthanasia and use them for capital
punishment by lethal injection. Their use in
clinical practice has largely been replaced by
benzodiazepines such as alprazolam, diazepam,
and lorazepam due to the lower risk of overdose
and available antidote to reverse toxicity.
Barbiturates are used as a laboratory buffer and
can be found in clinical and research
laboratories.

5. Supportive care
10. A clear airway is ensured by thorough suctioning and
insertion of oral airway. In addition, the passage of
barbiturates across the blood brain barrier into the
central nervous system may be facilitated during
hypoventilation and respiratory acidosis. If the
patient is comatose, prompt intubation (without
waiting for the PaO2 to fall to dangerously low levels)
is strongly advocated because of the fear of
impending, worsening respiratory failure.
Dehydration is corrected by CVP guided fluid therapy
depending on the serum electrolyte reports. If
hypotension persists, intravenous infusion of plasma
volume expanders and vasopressors is started. In
refractory cases, steroids are given.
11. a. Gastric lavage : If no more than 2-4 hours
have passed since ingestion of the
barbiturate, gastric lavage is done.
b. Activated charcoal : Is an inert non toxic
adsorbent which binds high molecular
weight compounds due to intermolecular
attractions. 1gKg-1 is administered through
nasogastric tube.
Cathartic like magnesium sulphate can be
used along with it for further removal of
barbiturates buthypermagnesemia can occur.
12. a. Frequent doses of activated charcoal : These adsorb the barbiturates
when they reenter the GIT through enterohepatic circulation. 1gKg-1
initial dose is followed by 0.5gkg-1 every 2-4 hours.
b. Forced diuresis with alkalinisation of urine: This is especially useful
in long barbiturates which are largely excreted by the kidney. At high
rates of urine flow (by the use of diuretics), the renal clearance of
barbiturates is increased.
Thus, it shortens the duration of coma and decreases plasma
concentration of barbiturates. This should be avoided in older patients as
it can cause pulmonary oedema, hyponatraemia and increase in ICP.
In addition to diuresis, phenobarbitol excretion can be enhanced ten fold
by urinary alkalinization (Ph 7.8 -8.0). Alkalinising urine causes ionization
of phenobarbitone after its filtration into renal tubular cells and trapping
the agent, thereby inhibiting its re-absorption from renal tubules and
increasing its excretion.
c. Haemodialysis and haemoperfusion: Is now being used extensively in
treatment of barbiturate intoxication to increase rate of removal of
barbiturates. Single six hour haemodialysis can remove an amount of
barbiturate which is comparable to that removed during 24 hours of
sustained diuresis or peritoneal dialysis.
13. These have minimal role now a days because
under their influence, true clinical
assessment of patient becomes impossible.
Also, they are associated with side effects
like convulsions, cardiac arrhythmias,
vomiting, hyperpyrexia.
14. The most important aspect of management in these
cases is close observation and quality nursing care .
Prophylactic antibiotics should be started. Good oral
hygiene, temperature maintenance, and posture
change at regular intervals .
Usually, recovery from barbiturate coma is without
neurologic deficit even after severe poisoning. Our
patient also recovered fully without any deficit.
The rarity of permanent damage after barbiturate
coma precludes immediate establishment of
adequate pulmonary ventilation as well as control of
shock to be of prime importance .
We were able to save our patient because of
immediate control of ventilation, temperature
maintenance, early prevention of renal damage and
haemodialysis .
