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.

2. CALCIUM
Most abundant mineral in the body
Bone-99%,soft tissue-1% ,ECF -<0.2%
50%-free , 10% -complexed with small anions
(diffusible)40% -bound to plasma proteins (non
diffusible)
Alteration in three physiological form
alteration in the concentration of protein
and small anions
change in pH
3. FORMS AND FUNCTIONS
Free calcium –biologically active form
Concentration is tightly regulated by PTH and
1,25 –dihydroxy vitamin D and calcitonin
Intracellular calcium –muscle contraction ,
hormone secretion (insulin ,PTH ,calcitonin ,
vasopressin),glycogen metabolism ,cell
division , release of zymogens from pancreas
and histamine from mast cells
Extracellular calcium –intracellular calcium
level ,bone mineralization ,blood coagulation
,stabilizes plasma membrane and influences
permeability and excitability
4. CALCIUM HOMEOSTASIS
Principal organs –skin ,liver ,small intestine
,skeleton ,parathyroid gland and kidney
Three hormones –PTH ,1,25(OH) 2 CC
,calcitonin
Is taken through dietary sources as calcium
phosphate , carbonate ,tartrate and oxalate
Absorption is from the first and second part of
duodenum
5. Skeleton act as a mineral repository , releasing
calcium into blood on demand
Excretion is through feces , urine and sweat
Plasma Ca2+ is filtered in the kidneys
98-99% of the filtered Ca2+ is reabsorbed
(proximal-60%) ,loop of henle and distal -40%
6. FACTORS INFLUENCING ITS ABSORPTION
Vitamin D induce synthesis of the carrier
protein (calbindin) in the intestinal epithelial cells
–facilitate its absorption
PTH increase calcium transport by enhancing
1α hydroxylase activity
Acidity favors calcium absorption
Amino acid lysine and arginine increase
calcium absorption
7. Phytic acid : hexaphosphate of inositol in cereals
(fermentation and cooking reduces its content)
Oxalate : present in leafy vegetable ((formation
of insoluble calcium oxalate)
Malabsorption syndromes :FA is not absorbed ,
forms insoluble calcium complex of FA
Phosphate :high phosphate content cause
precipitation as calcium phosphate
8. PTH AND VIT D ROLE
VIT D :1.Increases intestinal absorption of calcium
2.Reduces excretion of calcium (reabsorption in
distal renal tubules )
3.Mineralization of bone (coordinate the remodeling
of bone and increases bone mineral density)
PTH :1.increase absorption of calcium from intestine through
vit D
2.increase calcium reabsorption from distal convoluted
tubules of kidney
3.resorption of bone
9. TOTAL CALCIUM
Serum or heparinized plasma
Methods

Sample must be collected and handled anerobically
to minimize alteration in pH
Method :Ion selective electrode
Total calcium -8.5 – 10.1 mg/dL
Free calcium -4.6-5.3 mg/dL
11. URINARY CALCIUM
The rate of urinary calcium excretion reflects
calcium intake , intestinal absorption , skeletal
resorption and renal tubular filtration and
reabsorption
Healthy men and women -300mg / day on diet
with unrestricted calcium content ,200mg /day on
diet with restricted calcium content
Uca(mg/100mL GF)
=Uca(mg/dL) X serum creatinine
Urinary creatinine
Reference range is <0.16 mg/100ml for
spot fasting or timed collection after an
overnight fast
12. Under fasting conditions ,the intestinal and
renal components are relatively fixed ,calcium
excretion in the fasting state is used to assess
skeletal component
Value >0.16 mg/100 mL –osteoclastic
resorption
Used in assessing renal stone disease and high
turnover osteoporosis

excretion –renal leak hypercalciuria( result in
increased secretion of PTH)
