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.
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

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 French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

3. TERMS
APHERESIS:
It is a Greek word that means to separate
or to remove. In apheresis,blood is
withdrawn from a donor or patient in
anticoagulant solution and separated into
components. One or more component is
retained and remaining constituent are
returned to the patient.
PLASMAPHERESIS:
The process of removing the plasma from
red cells is termed plasmapheresis.
Similarly terms are given to removal of
other components like
Platelet(PLATELETPHERESIS), Red
4. PLATELETS
o There are two methods from which
platelets can be obtained:
◦ Differential centrifugation of unit of whole blood
(platelet concentration).
◦ Plateletpheresis
Platelet concentration:
Platelet concentrate is prepared from centrifugation
of whole blood within 6hrs of donation and is
centrifuged at low spin to produce platelet rich
plasma(PRP)
5. • PRP is transferred to satellite bag and spun at
high speed to get platelet (at bottom) platelet
poor plasma (at top). Platelet poor plasma is
returned to the primary bag leaving behind
50-60 ml of plasma with platelet.
• Platelet is stored at 20-24 degree C, with
agitation which causes exchange of
gases, maintenance of pH and reduces
platelet aggregates and should be used within
5 days.
6. PLATELET CONCENTRATE
RANDOM DONOR
PLATELET(RDP) SINGLE DONOR PLATELETS(SDP)
Prep from whole blood donations Prep by platelet pheresis in cell
Vol-50-60ml separator
Platelets- 5.5x109/bag or more Vol – 150-300ml
Red cells- <1.2x109/bag Platelets – 150-500x 109/bag
White cells- <0.12x109/bag
It may be supplied as single unit
or
Pooled unit of 4-6 donors
7. Platelets can be stored in bags made up
of Polyvinylchloride(PVC) with Di
(2-ethylhexyle) phthalate(DEHP)
plasticizer up to 72 hrs at room temp.
while certain polyolefin with no plasticizer
maintains the platelet function and pH for
7 days.
One unit of platelet concentration contains
>45x109 platelet, so transfusion of one
unit raises platelet count by
5000/microlitre
8. Plateletpheresis: single donor is connected to
the blood separator machine in which whole
blood is collected , platelet is separated and
retained while rest of component is returned to
the donor.
This method yields large number of platelet
from single donor(6 units of whole blood) upto
30,000-60,000/microlitre
9. Dosage:
As a guide, each unit of random donor
platelet should raise platelet in an adult by
5000 to 10000/cumm.
1 unit /10 kg body weight of RDP is
required
Bleeding, fever, infection, splenomegaly, al
loimmunization, and intravascular
consumption, each decreases the
expected increment. Response to platelet
infusions should be continually monitored
as essential elements of patient
10. QUALITY CONTROL(QC)

11. o The usual indications are:
• Thrombocytopenia due to decrease in platelet
production like aplastic anaemia ,hematologic
malignancies ,following radiotherapy or
chemotherapy.
• or due to increased platelet destruction like
ITP, DIC,alloimmune thrombocytopenia, drug
induced thrombocytopenia, septicemia.
• Heriditary disorders of platelet dysfunction and
massive blood transfusion.
• Infections like dengue and leptospirosis
12. o Most of the adverse reaction with platelet
transfusion
• is due to presence of leucocytes and plasma
leading to febrile non-haemolytic transfusion
reaction , allergic reaction
• Septicemia due to bacterial contamination
• Alloimmunisation .
13. Leucoreduced platelets
To minimize the adverse effects of
leucocytes present in blood
components , the use of leukocyte
reduced platelets have been instituted.
It can be accomplished by two
methods:
Filtration
Apheresis component programme.
14. Platelet agitator
Platelet agitators maintain donor platelets in an even suspension throughout the
blood plasma. Platelet agitators are used for storing platelets at a specified
temperature range usually between 20 C-24 C
15. PLASMA COMPONENTS
FRESH FROZEN PLASMA (FFP):
Plasma is separated from whole blood by
centrifugation and is transferred to satellite
bag which is rapidly frozen at -80 degree
C and then the temp is brought to -18 to
-30 deg C. This process is done within 6
hrs.
Storage- FFP can be stored for 1yr at -30
degree C and when required should be
thawed at 37 degree C .
16. Contents of 1 unit of FFP prepared from
450ml of whole blood.
PLASMA 175 – 250ml
Fibrinogen 200 – 400 mgm
Rich in factor VIII and I ; Labile factor V
DOSAGE:
About 5-10 units / kg body weight.
17. QC of FFP
Parameter QC Frequency of
control
Volume 200-220 plasma 4 units/month
Stable 200 units of -do-
coagulation each factor
factors
Factor VIII 0.7 units /ml -do-
Fibrinogen 200-400 mg -do-
18. Indications of FFP:
◦ Deficiency of multiple coagulation factors as in
liver disease, massive transfusion, DIC .
◦ Familial factor V deficiency
◦ Deficiencies of factor II,VII,IX,X
◦ Antithrombin deficiency
◦ Inherited coagulation factor deficiency.
19. CRYOPRECIPITATE
Cryoprecipitate is prepared from FFP.FFP
is kept in the refrigerator upside down at -
30 deg C and then at 4-6 deg C ,FFP
melts. This melted FFP moves to another
bag,10-20 ml of FFP left is the cryoppt and
FFP in other bag is cryo poor plasma.
When required for transfusion, cryoppt is
thawed at 4 deg C in circulating water
bath.
20. Cryoprecipitate contains factor VIII,von
Willebrand factor, fibrinogen, F XIII and
fibronectin.
The usual dose of cryoprecipitate in
treating hypofibrinogenemia is an initial
infusion of 10 bags, followed by 10 to 20
bags or as necessary to keep the
fibrinogen level above 100 mg/dl. The
half-life of fibrinogen is about 4days.
21. Indications:
Used in treatment of Factor VIII deficiency,
von Willebrand disease, F XIII deficiency
and hypofibrinogenaemia.
22. CRYO POOR PLASMA
This is the supernatant remaining from
the production of cryoprecipitate. It is
relatively deficient in high molecular
weight forms of Von wille brand factor
while retaining normal levels of the
vWF-cleaving metalloprotease.
Use- Treatment of chronic relapsing
thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura.
23. Liquid plasma
Plasma removed from liquid whole
blood up to five days after the expiration
of the whole blood .
Plasma may be stored in the liquid
state at
I – 60 C.It contains stable clotting
factors, however labile clotting factor
such as factor VIII and factor V are lost.
USE: In deficiency of stable clotting
factor(II,VII,IX,X,XI).
24. Solvent/Detergent treated
plasma
Plasma is treated with the solvent
tri(n-butyl) phosphate (TNPB) and the
detergent Triton X-IOO to inactivate
lipid-enveloped viruses such as
hepatitis B and C and HIV.
It has no effect on non-enveloped
viruses like hepatitis A and parvovirus
B 19.
25. GRANULOCYTE
CONCENTRATE
Granulocyte concentrate is rarely used
because:
Most infections are controlled with
antibiotics.
A granulocyte concentrate prepared
from a single donor has insufficient
granulocyte and contaminated with red
cells.
Transfusion of granulocyte is associated
with significant risks.
Granulocyte for transfusion can be
obtained single donor unit by differential
centrifugation or by leucapheresis.
26. Leucapheresis is preferred because it
yields more granulocyte,which can be
further be enhanced by using
corticosteroids.
Each concentrate contains approximately
10
10 granulocytes which are about one
tenth of the normal adult’s daily production
and that is far fewer than that of an
infected patient. Granulocytes are fragile
and may be stored no longer than 24 h.
The usual concentrate contains about 250
ml of plasma and has a Hct of 15 to 20
percent. ABO compatibility is necessary.
27. Indications:
Patients with severe neutropenia with
documented bacterial or fungal infections.
Patients not responding to antibiotics.
There is evidence that granulocyte
transfusions can benefit a selected group
of patients: those with gram-negative
sepsis or progressive localized infections,
severe granulocytopenia, and temporary
suppression of leukocyte production.

Continuous magnetic cell separator
(immunomagnetic)
42. Automated separation technique by
centrifugation:
◦ Centrifugal force separates blood into different
component depending upon the specific
gravity.
◦ Blood is drawn from an automatic pump
Anticoagulant is added to the tube and blood
is pumped into rotating bowl chamber in
which layering of components occurs based
on the density. The desired component is
retained and rest returned to donor either by
continuous flow or by intermittent flow.
43. Separation by Membrane Filtration:
◦ Filtration of plasma through membrane which
allows collection of plasma from a healthy
donor.
◦ Membranes are arranged as hollow fibres
which expels the cellular elements in the flow
of blood.
◦ Most commonly used apheresis devices are:
Haemonetic corporation: Platelets, plasma,
leucocytes.
Baxter: Plasma, platelets, red cells, leucocyte
Gambro: Plasma, platelets, leucocyte and peripheral
blood stem cells.
44. HAEMONETIC:
It is intermittent centrifuge separator.
The anticoagulated blood is pumped
into rotating bowl .This incoming blood is
separated.The red cells move to the
periphery and plasma to inside of rotating
bowl and the white cells and plasma
between red cells and plasma.
Using optical detectors and fluid surge
elutriation process,the desired component
is retained.
46. GAMBRO(Cobe)
Continuous flow centrifuge cell separator
where two arm blood is drawn and
returned.
Here flat membrane is used to separate
the cells of blood from plasma.
Allows lower WBC and RBC
contamination in platelets.
