China has experienced above-normal growth since 1999, even though it is a semi peripheral developing country. The numbers do not lie because, since the late 1990s, their growth has been between 7.5% and 11.7%. The main causes of this growth can be attributed to direct external investments in export-oriented industrial production, accompanied by cheap labor along with the high level of qualification and the government's incentive for multinational companies to invest in the country and, above all, to the active role of the Chinese state in promoting national development. China's economy is the second largest in the world, surpassed only by the United States. China is the nation with the highest economic growth of the last 25 years in the world, with average GDP growth around 10% per year. China is on the verge of overtaking the United States as the world's largest economy.

In Latin America, practically all countries, whether or not they have adopted neoliberalism, have had mediocre economic performance in recent decades. The region is the one with the lowest economic growth in the world since 1980. Countries opened their economies to the world since 1980 or 1990 after having closed and protectionist economies from 1950 onwards. They had to open up because they had bankrupt economies due to the foreign debt crisis due to over-indebtedness, hyperinflation due to excessive government spending, and bankrupt public companies. They also had weak economic structures and dependent on exports of raw materials.
The opening of the economies implied the privatization of state companies, reduction of tariffs, which brought cheaper foreign products (and greater competition for national companies), greater flows of foreign investment, etc. There were also more flows of loans, of foreign debt.

How did greek medicine influence medicine today?
Solution
Grek medicine is considered as the foundation of modern medicine.It was the greek culture that
first applied the method of scientific thinking in the healing process.The doctors that were
produced in the greek culture were of the same level as that of today\'s modern doctors.Greek
medicine was based on the idea of logic and reasoning and this soon spread to other parts of the
world such as India and western nations where the same logic and reasoning was used in
medicine.One of the best known figures in greek medicine is Hippocrates who is considered as
the father of medicine and the founder of Hippocratic Oath.This oath is taken even today by
doctors before the start of their medical career.Greek medicine changed the spiritual treatment
methods to a system based method based on logic, observation, use of herbs for treatment,
surgery etc which is followed by today\'s doctors as well and has thus influenced the modern
ways of disease treatment.Today\'s research techniques and advancements in modern medicine
have their roots in greek medicine..

Foundation of EthicsWhat does Mill say is the ultimate sanction of.pdfinfo324235
Foundation of Ethics
What does Mill say is the ultimate sanction of the greatest happiness morality (or utilitarianism)?
What is its basis; how did it develop? Also say a bit about how it works. (Approximately 100
words total) from John Stuart Mill\'s Utilitarianism
Please do not provide answers from others since its consider a plagiarism.
Thanks
Solution
Mill was Bentham\'s godson. He believed that happiness,not pleasure should be the standard of
utility. Mill agreed with the utility principle but had an issue with the quantitative element.He
wanted to reformulate the theory and to present that pleasures are not all of equal value. Mill
argues that moral theories are divided between two distinct approaches:
a) The intuitive and
b) The Inductive schools.
He adds that the principle of utility should be seen as a tool for generating secondary moral
principles,ehich promote general happiness.
Development of Utilitarianism: The theory developed through differentt phases.Some of the
important phases are given by phillosphers with tehir views are:
1. Classical Approach by Bentham: His theory can be divide into three parts: Hedonistic
Utilitarianism , the principle of utility and th eutility or Hedonic Calculus.
2. Henry Sidgwick\'s: It is one of the most well known works in utilitarian moral philosophy, and
deservedly so. It offers a defense of utilitarianism, though some writers (Schneewind 1977) have
argued that it should not primarily be read as a defense of utilitarianism. In The
MethodsSidgwick is concerned with developing an account of “…the different methods of Ethics
that I find implicit in our common moral reasoning…” These methods are egoism, intuition
based morality, and utilitarianism.
3.Ideal Utilitarianism byG. E. Moore: He strongly disagreed with the hedonistic value theory
adopted by the Classical Utilitarians. Moore agreed that we ought to promote the good, but
believed that the good included far more than what could be reduced to pleasure. He was a
pluralist, rather than a monist, regarding intrinsic value. For example, he believed that ‘beauty’
was an intrinsic good. A beautiful object had value independent of any pleasure it might generate
in a viewer. Thus, Moore differed from Sidgwick who regarded the good as consisting in some
consciousness.
Working of Mill\'s theory:
Mill developed a system of higher and lower pleasures. to pursue pleasures of the intellect were
\'higher\' tha,say, the pursuits of pleasures of the body.Mill wanted to reformulate the utilitarian
theory to reflect tthe fact that pleasures are not all of equal valuue. He also wanted to take human
naure into account.
Mill argues that the principle of utility should be seen as a tool for generating secondary moral
principles which promote general happiness. Thus most of our actions will be judged according
to these secondary principles.
Mill argues that everything we desire becomes part of happiness.Thus happiness becomes a
complex phenomenon composed of many par.
Explain what single human development most contributed to the evolut.pdfinfo324235
Explain what single human development most contributed to the evolution of the human malaria
parasite. Be sure to include some details of how this event(s) resulted in the dissemination of
malaria. Think about current human activities that are further contributing to the evolution of
Malaria.
PLEASE ASAPPP!!! NOT COPIED MATERIAL PLEASE
Solution
It has been conclusively proven that the human malaria parasite is transmitted by Anopheles
mosquito. It has also been discovered that before entering the blood stream, the malaria parasite
underwent development in the liver. Hence, the gestational period during which the liver
development of the human fetus takes place, is an important contributor to the evolution of
human malaria parasite.
A warm environment can be a big contributor to the mosquito population. Global warming due
to high incidence of fossil fuel usage by humans, seems to be a likely contributor to the rise in
the mosquito population..

digital iker by means of the bilineasr filter by means of the bilinear trasformation method with T,
= 0.1. (b) (5 pts.) Is this filter FIR or IIR? (c) (5 pts.) Find the poles of this digital filher
Solution
Hundreds if not thousands of different kinds of filters have been developed to meet the needs of
various applications. Despite this variety, many filters can be described by a few common
characteristics. The first of these is the frequency range of their pass band. A filter\'s pass band is
the range of frequencies over which it will pass an incoming signal. Signal frequencies lying
outside the pass band are attenuated. Many filters fall into one of the following response
categories, based on the overall shape of their pass band.
Low-pass filters pass low-frequency signals while blocking high-frequency signals. The pass
band ranges from DC (0 Hz) to a corner frequency FC.
High-pass filters pass high-frequency signals while blocking DC and low-frequency signals. The
pass band ranges from a corner frequency (FC) to infinity.
Band-pass filters pass only signals between two given frequencies, blocking lower and higher
signals. The pass band lies between two frequencies, FL and FH. Signals between DC and FL are
blocked, as are signals from FH to infinity. The pass band of these filters is often characterized
as having a bandwidth that is symmetric around a center frequency.
Band-stop filters block signals occurring between two given frequencies, FL and FH. The pass
band is split into a low side (DC to FL) and a high side (FH to infinity). For this reason, it\'s
often simpler to specify a band-stop filter by the width and center frequency of its stop band.
Band-stop filters are also called notch filters, especially when the stop band is narrow.
Figure 1 shows how each of these filters operates on a swept-frequency input signal.
Figure 1. Filters are usually characterized by their frequency-domain performance. The effects
of a few common filter types on a swept-frequency input signal are shown here.
In the examples, the signal increases continuously in frequency, from a low frequency to a high
frequency. When the signal frequency is within the filter\'s pass band, the filter passes the signal.
As the signal moves out of the pass band, the filter begins to attenuate the signal.
Note that the transition from the pass band to the stop band is a gradual process, where the
filter\'s response decreases continuously. Although you can make this transition arbitrarily sharp
(at the cost of filter complexity), it can never be instantaneous, at least not in filters physically
realizable with today\'s technology.
The Bode and Phase Plots
Bode plots describe the behavior of a filter by relating the magnitude of the filter\'s response
(gain) to its frequency. An example of this type of plot is shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2. Filter responses are plotted on Bode plots, wh.

Solution
Transport proteins play a vital role in transport of ions, small molecules and other proteins avross
the membranes. All these are vital for the growth and survival of the cell and organism. Some
proteins are synthesized at one place but become active at another site. They must be carried to
the specific site for this. For all the above functions lists number of transport proteins are
necessary. Hence most genes code for these..

What are 3 changes that occur in dendritic cells once they become ‘activated?’
Solution
When the dentritic cell becomes activated, they migrate to the lymph nodes where they interact
with T cells and B cells to initiate and shape the adaptive immune response.
1. When the cell comes onto contact with an antigen, they become activated and move into the
lymph node.
2. They upregulate cell-surface receptors which act as co-receptors in T-cell activation. This
enhances their ability to activate T cells.
3. They upregulate the chemotactic receptor that induces the dendritic cell to travel through the
blood stream to the spleen or through the lymphatic system to a lymph node..

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.

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.

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.

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.

China's growth, and market rapidly (see the end-of-chapter case studies f incentives have played
2. a primary motivational role in Chapters 12 and 13)
Solution
China is the most populated country of the world irrespective of this it achieves a good growth
rate of 9% because of various factors. Growth represents the increase in per capita income of
individuals of a nation. Increased growth rate of china shows that per capita income of
individuals living in China increases but it does not reflect that income of all the people resides
in china increases. Level of poverty in China is also soo huge but by taking various positive
measures it reduces the poverty. China is able to reduce poverty level faster as compared to other
countries.
China hails many countries in the competition of markets, trade and globalisation but also is a
major concern for many traditional schools to develop China. China provide cheaper products to
various countries and follow centralisation of authorities rather than privatisation. Hong Kong,
Tailwan and South Korea emphasis on export-orientation growth in which countries develop
themselves by exporting products to other countries. Due to this, these countries knows that labor
is supplied at very cheap rates in China so they shifted their branches at china. Establishment of
new industries pool various labours towards these branches and thus lead to increase in the wage
rates of labor.
China follows the policy of one-child norm to control the excessive population. This policy of
China's government plays a crucial role in reducing the population. China encouraged formation
of rural enterprises, private businesses, liberalized foreign trade and investment, minimise state
control over some prices and invested in the industrial production and the education of its
workforce. These factors contribute majorly on the growth of China.
Remarkable growht of China also came into existence because of reallocation of labor,
particularly from agriculture sector to other activities. Policies of China is exactly opposite of
many eastern European countries who adopt free-market policy. Along with Central planning,
China also introduced transitional institutions side by side which helps it in the growth. China
does not abolish the import quotas while it reduces it with margin. China adopted 'dual track'
which improves efficiency and output of china. In this policy, China allowed some sectors to be
under its control while liberalise other sectors under privatisation.
At the time when all countries adopt decentralisation of authority, China keeps all authorities
under their hands. This centralisation of authority put various barriers in the growth of China, so
recently it adopt conversion of state-owned enterprises in the hands of private sector.
Around the late 1970s, China encouraged township and village enterprises which increases the
industrial share of China by many folds. This plays eminent role in the development of rural
3. areas in China.
Therfore, we can say that policies of China is extremely different from all other countries and
there exist certain limits on other countries from follow it. China shows that 'real development
of a country is possible' and it is not an accident, it completely depends upon the policies
adopted and the efficient implementation of it.
