Lupus is a systematic autoimmune disease which affects the body’s tissues and organs by your own immune system thinking that they are foreign. Lupus is a chronic inflammatory disease that affects various parts of the body including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, brain, heart, and lungs. Lupus is also known as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE. The exact cause of lupus is very difficult to diagnose, although it’s a combination of genes, hormones and environmental factors. It affects women between 18 and 40 years of age.

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 SLIDE TITLE GOES HERE!
10. Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is more
than feeling tired all the time. It comes with a lot of other symptoms that
can make it hard to handle daily life.. The fatigue and symptoms can
last 6 months or can go on for years. Sleep and rest don’t make it
better, either.
A doctor can help relieve your symptoms, but first, you need to get
diagnosed.
If you have ME/CFS, you’ll have these three “core” symptoms:
Reduced ability to do usual activities for six months or more because of
fatigue
Worsening of symptoms (difficulty thinking, problems sleeping, sore
throat, headaches, feeling dizzy, or severe tiredness). after usual
physical or mental activity
Trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
Along with the three symptoms, you must have one of these for a
diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome:
Problems with thinking and memory
Worsening of symptoms while standing or sitting upright; you might feel
lightheaded, dizzy or weak, and you may have blurred vision or see
spots.
11. Some categories of symptoms
Of unexplained muscle pain, quite similar to the pain caused by
fibromyalgia (in about 70% of people), often accompanied by significant
and unusual headaches;
Neurological or cognitive problems: confusion, short-term memory loss,
difficulty concentrating, disorientation, difficulty in visual focusing,
hypersensitivity to noise and light, etc.
Manifestations of the autonomic nervous system: difficulty standing
upright (standing, sitting, or walking), pressure drop when standing up,
feeling dizzy, extreme pallor, nausea, irritable bowel syndrome, frequent
urination, palpitations, cardiac arrhythmia, etc.
Neuroendocrine manifestations: instability of body temperature (below
normal, periods of sweating, feverish sensation, cold extremities,
intolerance to extreme temperatures), significant weight change, etc .;
Immune manifestations: frequent or recurrent sore throat, armpit, and
groin sensitive lymph nodes, recurrent flu symptoms, allergies or food
intolerances, etc.
13. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome: Treatment.
Treatment:
There is no cure for chronic fatigue syndrome. Treatment focuses on symptom relief. The most disruptive or
disabling symptoms should be addressed first.
Medications:
Some problems associated with chronic fatigue syndrome can be improved with either prescription or
over-the-counter medications. Examples include:
Depression: Many people with long-term health problems, such as chronic fatigue syndrome, are also
depressed. Treating your depression can make it easier for you to cope with the problems associated with
chronic fatigue syndrome. Low doses of some antidepressants can also help improve sleep and relieve
pain.
Orthostatic intolerance: Some people with chronic fatigue syndrome, particularly adolescents, feel faint
or nauseated when they stand or sit upright. Medications to regulate blood pressure or heart rhythms
may be helpful.
Pain: If over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin IB, others) and naproxen sodium
(Aleve) don't help enough, prescription drugs sometimes used to treat fibromyalgia might be options for
you. These include pregabalin (Lyrica), duloxetine (Cymbalta), amitriptyline or gabapentin (Neurontin).
14. Therapy:
Many people with chronic fatigue syndrome benefit from:
Counseling: Talking with a counselor can help build coping skills to deal with chronic illness, address
limitations at work or school, and improve family dynamics. It can also be helpful for managing
depression.
Addressing sleep problems: Sleep deprivation can make other symptoms more difficult to deal with.
Your doctor might suggest avoiding caffeine or changing your bedtime routine. Sleep apnea can be
treated by using a machine that delivers air pressure through a mask while you sleep.
Exercise: Aggressive exercise regimens often lead to worsened symptoms, but maintaining activities
that are tolerated is important to prevent deconditioning. Exercise regimens that start at a very low
intensity and increase very gradually over time may be helpful in improving long-term function.
Some home remedies and lifestyle changes to prevent CFS are that limiting or eliminating your caffeine
intake can help you sleep better and ease your insomnia. You should limit or avoid nicotine and alcohol too.
Try to avoid napping during the day if it’s hurting your ability to sleep at night. Create a sleep routine. Go to
bed at the same time every night and aim to wake up around the same time every day. In many cases, CFS can
trigger or be a symptom of depression. You may need low-dose antidepressant therapy or a referral to a mental
health provider. If lifestyle changes don’t give you a restful night’s sleep, your doctor may suggest a sleep aid.
Pain-reducing medication can also help you cope with aches and joint pain caused by CFS. Acupuncture, tai
chi, yoga, and massage are some of the alternative medicines and treatments that may help relieve the pain
associated with CFS.
18. Symptoms of Anaplastic Large Cell
Lymphoma
Common symptoms of Lymphoma include swelling of
lymph nodes in your neck, in your armpits or your groin.
This is often but not always painless and often could be
associated with fevers, or unexplained weight loss, or
drenching night sweats and fever. Many individuals also
experience itchiness in their hands, lower legs or feet and
some also feel it throughout their body.
19. Patients often report that the itching tends to worsen while they
are lying in bed at night. Shortness of breath is also a major
symptom. These symptoms can start or get worse in just a few
weeks. The most common symptom is one or more painless
swellings. These swellings can grow very quickly. People with
Large Cell Lymphoma often die from infections, bleeding or organ
failure resulting from metastasis. Hodgkin Lymphoma cells can
spread from the lymph nodes where the cancer started to other
parts of the body. This spread is called metastasis. A serious
infection or sudden bleeding can lead up to death, even if
someone doesn’t appear very ill.
21. Treatment
• Systemic ALCL is treated with standard chemotherapy.
• Other therapies include radiotherapy, stem cell transplants and steroid therapy.
• People with ALK-positive ALCL generally respond well to chemotherapy.
• Surgery is the most common treatment for primary ALCL.
• We may need radiation therapy if the cancer has spread to your lymph nodes.
• Primary cutaneous ALCL often returns within 5 years of treatment.
• You may need other forms of treatment if the localized tumours cant be removed
with surgery or if your cancer keeps returning.
