The document discusses the different types of pollution: air pollution, water pollution, soil pollution, radioactive pollution, and noise pollution. It provides details on each type of pollution, including their causes and effects. Air pollution is caused by gases and particulates from human activity and natural processes, and can harm human health and ecosystems. Water pollution occurs when contaminants are introduced into bodies of water from sources like untreated wastewater. Soil pollution involves toxic chemicals in soil that pose risks. Radioactive pollution results from nuclear weapons and power. Noise pollution stems from machines, transportation, and other loud sources that disrupt human and animal activity.
Pollution is the introduction of contaminants into the natural environment that cause adverse change. Pollution can take the form of chemical substances or energy, such as noise, heat or light. Pollutants, the components of pollution, can be either foreign substances/energies or naturally occurring contaminants. Pollution is often classed as point source or non point source pollution. In 2015, pollution killed 9 million people in the world

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.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

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.

Air pollution.
Water pollution.
Soil pollution.
Radioactive pollution.
Noise pollution.
3. AIR POLLUTION
Air pollution is the presence of substances in the atmosphere
that are harmful to the health of humans and other living beings,
or cause damage to the climate or to materials. There are many
different types of air pollutants, such as gases
(including ammonia, carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrous
oxides, methane, carbon dioxide
and chlorofluorocarbons), particulates (both organic and
inorganic), and biological molecules. Air pollution may cause
diseases, allergies and even death to humans; it may also cause
harm to other living organisms such as animals and food crops,
and may damage the natural environment (for example, climate
change, ozone depletion or habitat degradation) or built
environment(for example, acid rain). Both human activity and
natural processes can generate air pollution.

5. WATER POLLUTION
Water pollution (or aquatic pollution) is the contamination of water
bodies, usually as a result of human activities, in such a manner that
negatively affects its legitimate uses. Water pollution reduces the
ability of the body of water to provide the ecosystem services that it
would otherwise provide. Water bodies include for
example lakes, rivers, oceans, aquifers, reservoirs and groundwater.
Water pollution results when contaminants are introduced into these
water bodies. For example, releasing inadequately
treated wastewater into natural waters can lead to degradation of
these aquatic ecosystems. All plants and organisms living in or being
exposed to polluted water bodies can be impacted. The effects can
damage individual species and impact the natural biological
communities they are part of. Water pollution can also lead to water-
borne diseases for people using polluted water for drinking, bathing,
washing or irrigation.

7. SOIL POLLUTION
Soil pollution is defined as the presence of toxic
chemicals (pollutants or contaminants) in soil, in high
enough concentrations to pose a risk to human health
and/or the ecosystem. In the case of contaminants
which occur naturally in soil, even when their levels
are not high enough to pose a risk, soil pollution is still
said to occur if the levels of the contaminants in soil
exceed the levels that should naturally be present.
8.
9. RADIOACTIVE POLLUTION
The radioactive pollution is defined as the physical pollution of
living organisms and their environment as a result of release of
radioactive substances into the environment during nuclear
explosions and testing of nuclear weapons, nuclear weapon
production and decommissioning, mining of radioactive ores,
handling and disposal of radioactive waste, and accidents at
nuclear power plants. Nuclear tests are carried out to determine
the effectiveness, yield, and explosive capability of nuclear
weapons. The proportion of radioactive pollution is 15% of the
total energy of the explosion. Radioactive pollution of water,
water sources, and air space is the result of radioactive fallout
from the cloud of a nuclear explosion. Radio nuclides are the
main sources of pollution; they emit beta particles and gamma
rays, radioactive substances.
10.
11. NOISE POLUUTION
Noise pollution, also known as environmental noise or
sound pollution, is the propagation of noise with ranging
impacts on the activity of human or animal life, most of
them harmful to a degree. The source of outdoor noise
worldwide is mainly caused by machines, transport, and
propagation systems. Poor urban planning may give rise to
noise disintegration or pollution, side-by-side industrial
and residential buildings can result in noise pollution in
the residential areas. Some of the main sources of noise in
residential areas include loud music, transportation(traffic,
rail, airplanes, etc.), lawn care maintenance, construction,
electrical generators, wind turbines, explosions, and
people.
